It is 3:30 am……and Im awake……..and the biggest shock = im sober. This never happens. today was that day where everyone you havent seen in like 2 years calls you and says they only have one night to hangout and they want to do something. I had like 4 different options and I turned them all down b/c I had plans with someone I can almost see whenever but the fact that we made plans first takes precendence right? So maybe tomorrow i can talk some of them into doing something to make up for it. Im not exactly sure why renting a movie and sitting around an apartment all night sounded better then having some drinks and catching up with people but it did….plus I think I’ll see a few of them tomorrow night I just remembered its a friends bday. 23 is a crappy age. The only real thing you have to look forward to is car rentals from here on out so I feel for him haha.
I work all weekend which makes me completely unmotivated to do any hw whatsoever but i know I just got to buckle down this last week and get it done although I really do have alot of important things on my agenda for this week. Its going to be a really rough week emotionally and physically. Good luck me.
Today i decided to help put together some tables for the outdoor pool for some extra hours since I move soon. Once we got them assembled we had to then bring them to the outdoor pool (It was cold this morning we decided to put them together where they were sent at one of the indoor pools). So we went and got one of the city trucks to do it. Since it was raining it made the grass suck while we went over it with the truck like 8 times. We got a city truck stuck in the mud. There were only 2 of us. I dunno if any of you have had to get a truck out of the mud, buts its a dirty, tiring job that is going to get you dirty.
So we figure there is no way we are going to get this truck out. So we get a another buddy to help. Still cant get it out. So we go and get some wooden boards and wedge them under the tires to help get some traction and we get this dumb girl at work to help. We had her drive obviously because she wasnt about to get muddy. So we try again; let me tell you; this girl is sooooooo dumb. She was like “what do I do?” and its just like……..dammit gas it up on the count of 3. So we get the car moving after a couple pushes……and she lets off the gas and we still have the back tires stuck. Thats how dumb she is. So we basically had to repeat the process but finally got it out. Still angers me though.
On another frustrating note I have a ton of art homework to do cause my last day is monday……hate that class. My buddy just had a good idea on how to put my mind in a better place. i think im going to Clubhouse now…….google it.
The cowboys are on the playoff trail when we all wrote them off a couple weeks ago. Their offense looked really good today – all our weapons were in full swing which looked good. However we faced a laughable defense at best. A win at Pitt would be huge and a good morale boost. Anyways enough about the cowboys becuase the last 2 games have been nothing to brag about even though they give us a good chance at playoffs.
Did anyone watch any football other then that game today? Horrible. Blowouts in all games. Detroit is embarassing, Arizona flopped and Texas ran over A&M. Just made for a boring day after all the 1st quarters.
Of course I dont need to mention the food which GOD HELP ME is the greatest thing ever!!! Matter a fact; now that I brought it up I made myself hungry so I am cutting the post real short to eat more. im sure you understand.
Watch this…..skip to the last 20 seconds if you get bored your not missing anything. Happy thanks all.
Saw that Role Model movie. Pretty hilarious if you are into that sort of humor. Anywho I went with a friend who knows me pretty well and during the movie she said Sean William Scotts character and Paul Rudds character where the 2 sides of me. I disagreed; but to get to my point, first let me tell you I am one of those guys who says things under his breath in movies if not just for a laugh, but I said a few things during some parts of the movies – and not but 2 seconds later one of the characters really did say them….word for word. The first time it happened was right after I was told they were basically me, so we just looked at each other and laughed but it happened 2 more times.
Now to let you know these guys were playing 2 characters; neither of which I wanted to be which is why i dismissed the comment pretty easily but at work we were talking about the movie and other people chimed in with things like “The whole time I watched that movie I thought of Vic.” Im sitting here like what the hell?? One of the characters only liked sex and the other hated his life so much he basically wanted to kill himself. Why is everyone saying those 2 guys are me?
Anyways go see it if you have nothing to do and you are into movies that all those Judd Apatow guys do.
Alright I have the worst spending habits in the world. I get it from my dad – cash burns a hole in my pocket and having a credit card makes me do the whole “ill pay it back later” thing. I have a decent bank account especially for a college kid but I got a “retirement” check from my job and my parents are helping me with some rent since I move into my new apartment in a week. So I am kinda spending alot right now with the random stuff everyone needs but Im going a little nuts. Its obviously been years since my parents brought me clothes shopping so I decided I needed some respectable clothes. Literally I just spend $300 in the last 20 min shopping online for random stuff (no not just clothes I am straight).
I spend money on everything. From video games to a huge framed Elvis painting (no reason at all for buying……Elvis is just bad ass). I literally hate shopping in any store if its not for groceries. However online random shopping takes a turn from “Man I could really use a new controller” and goes quickly to “WHO DOESNT NEED A ROBOTIC JACK DANIEL SERVER???” (ok in all fairness who doesnt; I didnt buy it but I REALLY wanted to).
I honestly think Im addicted. I can go a long time without spending money I really can. But then I have a night like tonight where I just go nuts. It sounds kinda gay but I do the guy shopping thing online. New sunglasses, a new watch, other random things like that.
Anyone know a more progressive way to handle this?
Ok after reading that back to myself it makes it sound like I am a compulsive spender and major debt and thats not the case at all so……take that as you will.
OK so I got pulled aside in my art class earlier to take a look at my grades…..apparently I was wrong about the grading system. Its confusing b/c he gives us grades on our assignments however our grade in the class is; i guess; based on participation or something because everyone in the class has a 95 in the class; but different grades on each assignments obviously. So weird.
So I kind of take back what I said in my last post but I still hate art. I got another painting grade back and got an A+ on it so unless I have some hidden talent I didnt know about; then this guy just sees crap as abstract awesome art.
Alright so Im a CS major thinking about switching to ATEC so Im doing the whole….take classes that count for both just in case right now; and Im enrolled in this art class. I never knew how bad I was at art. I just dont care about drawing or painting. I look at expensive paintings and think “ok somewhere, some little kid in a 2nd grade art class is making that exact same thing but no one will ever care” And I really hate how my lack of being artistic is reflected in my grade. Like I am being penalized because I am the only one in the class who has never sat down and painted on a canvas before.
The class does make me appreciate art more though. Some kids in my class have really made some amazing things that make you stop and think for sure. But just because I cant sketch I am fighting for a C in the class……which is major embarassing cause its a damn art class. The highest grade I got in the class was an 89 on a painting I did about 20 min before it was due. I was in awe. I was like “seriously? I spent 6 hours on a drawing I got a 60 on but if I make a crappy painting thats considered art???”
Thats one thing I do appreciate about this class though. Even though every class is based on grades you get on papers and hw and what not, it feels like this is one of those classes that judges your understanding of the material presented. I really just feel like venting cause I have this final assignment that involves 3 paintings and I literally SUCK at painting. My last painting looked like a kindergardener spashed paint on paper and sat on it and rolled around for a while.
Ok so my weekend plans didnt really turn out 100% like I wanted. Mavs won……damn. Tech laid an egg……damn. But waking up at 7am today and going tailgating and watching the cowboys game made up for it. Its been about a season and a half since I have been to a Boys game and I always forget how much fun they are. Plus with the win obviously we keep playoff hopes alive.
I was pretty depressed last night after watching that Tech game cause I like to study college FB stats and make picks and stuff on diff websites but nobody possibly could have predicted last nights game. It was simply embarassing. So I did the whole…..drink to you cant feel feelings thing. It worked pretty well my friends tell me I just made out with a hot girl all night so really I guess that cancells out the fact that my team didnt win.
On a good note: I’m finally sober…..literally I think I have been drinking since the Mavs game Friday. So it feels kinda funny right now coming down from that (really made myself sound like an alcoholic there huh). Anyways I need a nap and some advil I think that will help. yeah Im gonna go do that.
Ok so the Mavs won last night. OJ mayo played awesome but Rudy Gay sucked. Oh well if one of the games I was watching had to go bad this weekend I would have wanted it to be that one.
I hate blogging. I mean God save me…..I really do. Nobody can possibly still be reading this. I understand having like a group blog that when something interesting happens someone can post something that someone in the group cares about. But having my own blog is not my thing. Nothing against the assignment but there is no way my life is that interesting. And since I got behind on my posts; here I am catching up talking about things nobody cares about.
On a side note……something that made my weekend start the downhill slope was my xbox got the red rings of death again. This is my fourth xbox and I am about to lose it on microsoft FOR REALZ!!!
On another side note……Tenacious D the pick of Destiny was a bad ass/hilarious movie. Go rent it. And if you feel like a good laugh and like stand up comedy….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4vST6_clnA
Ok so I have been doing research and trying to come up with good ideas for our final project. It is really easy to say……well what would I make if I could just create a website. The problem……is that alot of it already exists in some form or fasion so really your not creating something; your improving it. I mean really everything I can think of, if I dig deep enough on the glorious www I can find something that someone could be like “already done”. My online time has been limited the last few days just cause of my schedule but hopefully this weekend I can just sit down and get in a zone and be like “HOT DAMN…………..THATS A GOOD IDEA” but we shall see. Oh and does anyone else want to know what that first prize is? I hope its something college kids need. Food would do fine for me personally.
