06:38 pm: Really now...
I should really update this more often. It's been a super long time since I even bothered to look at it.

I had to look up my user name. How bad is that?!?

Anyway, I shall definitely have to try much harder to keep it up-to-date.

Life is okay. I'm workin' hard at hardly working. That's not so true. But I am strategically avoiding a project I could be working on right now. However, I got distracted by the overwhelming feeling that I should really update my live journal thingamajig.

Entrepreneurship can wait. :-)

5 more credits of A's under my belt! Go me! Too bad I didn't do this at UMaine. Music Teachers don't get paid that well... but I still think, sometimes, that I would have liked the job after-all. Who knows?!?

Keep smiling!

06:20 pm: Soooo much time.
I know it's been forever since I've updated this thing... I've been tired. What can I say? ;-) I've been tied down to the television watching the Boston Red Sox and their trip from the regular season, to the post season then to see them win the World Series. I NEVER thought I'd see this in my lifetime, but I am truly psyched that it happened.

I hear they're coming to Portland next wednesday around 3PM. I think I may have to skip my Algebra class for that indeed. Hoe many times will this happen?

Anyway, not a whole lot has happened in my life since my last update. I've gotten two more A's toward my newest degree venture. A 4 credit A for Physics, and a 5 credit A for my D/C Circuits class. So far so good. However, I'm in a class called wiring practice right now... and I think it's truly going to kick my butt... The National Electric Code reads like a VCR manual or worse.

Well 'nuff for now.

Frosty -out

08:29 pm: NYC Rules!!
Oh my god did that trip to New York City kick ass!!!

Left at 06:00 on Tuesday morning. Got to NYC around 12:30 and ascended the Empire State Building. Seemed like the top of the world. 16:00 was dinner at Planet Hollywood in Time Square. Saw some pretty cool props and costumes. Also got to go to Rockefeller Center, and see the NBC studios, saw the MTV studio and all that jazz... Then at 19:00 began the musical "Wicked"

I was completely floored as soon as I walked into the theater. From the first note to the last I was just in a constant state of awe. It was nearly a 3 hour music-gasm. It was so cool to see the students reactions to the show, as well as control my own. It was an experience.

Then post-show we went back to Time Square to see what it was like at night time. It was beautiful. I couldn't actually believe how safe it was down there. I figured there'd be a pickpocket every 10 steps or so. But it was sooo not that. I don't know if I could survive life there on my own, but it'd be an interesting ride.

Anyway, we hopped the bus to come home around 23:30ish. Not even 3 miles from the theater we were stuck on the highway. We went 2 miles in 2.5 hours. There was a NASTY accident. Then after a long and sleep filled bus ride home, we got back around 8:30.

Today was filled with the occasional nap. But alas all is well.

Tomorrow I'm going to spend some time with my father. He and my step-mom are up from Florida. I haven't the foggiest idea what we'll do, but I don't care as long as I get the chance to visit... ya know? Ahh well, I'll try to update when I get home tomorrow.

Time to catch up with my lack of sleep.

07:19 pm: Yikes...
I'm soooo bad at this.

Not much has been going on lately. Kind of in a static spot in my life. This wednesday I hand in my final for Physics. I'm going to have over a 100 for the class anyway, but hey, it's a free pizza day.

I'm psyched that the olympics are here. Very addictive tv time.

Women... nothing to report on that front. Can't go chasing after 17 year olds. Can't get involved with rebound type things, and definately can't get involved with someone who needs a shrink more than I do.

Family... Everyone in FL is okay from hurricane Charlie, that's a good thing. Sonny's had his last radiation and chemo-therapy, so now it's waiting time for surgury. Mom's doing alright though her knee is still bothering her a bit. Gotta love artheritis.

I miss working. I miss making spendable money. Instead of collecting just enough money to pay bills. Ahh well, sooner or later I'll get there.

10:53 pm: Okay... So I need to update more...
Yeah, I'm a slacker when it comes to this whole journaling thing.

I'm pretty psyched. August 28th is going to be a whole days worth of Boston. Taking the train down and going to the Museum of Science for the better part of the morning and early afternoon, then going to dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, then after that... going to see the Blue Man show... yeah... Row 3... Poncho Section... then a relaxing train ride home.

I like traveling on the train. I took the train from Boston, MA to Martinsburgh, WV earlier this spring to go visit my sister. That was so nice not to have to drive... and even though you don't see the best part of cities, it's still nice to sit back and just look out the window. Last time I did that in my car... well... I wasn't driving. Tina was... Gotta love DD's.

Physics is going awesome. I already have a 103... and still have 6 more classes to go. 4 more graded lab reports as well as the 3rd test. I could walk away now with a 103, but no, I'm gonna make the teacher correct more stuff so I can get a 140 or so. Too bad I won't be able to take the extra points and transfer them to say... English that I have to take this fall.

I went to the store to visit my friend Jenn tonight. She's VERY pregnant. I'm excited for her, she's been child hungry for a little while. Now only if her boyfriend or whatever he is would pop the question I'd be even happier for her. Anyway, while I was visiting her tonight I ended up inadvertently flirting with her co-worker. Only to find out afterward that she was 17!!! SO, that's a no-go situation. Sux 'cause she was pretty cool. But, even I have limits. Maybe if she was 25 and I was 35... but not 27 to 17... not only is that just wrong... but it's illegal.

ANYWAY... that aside, I'm truly psyched for this whole Boston trip. It's gonna be so awesome to spend an entire day with Holly.

I have drill this coming weekend. We have a rehearsal Friday night, then two welcome home ceremonies... one on Saturday, and one on Sunday. I'm hoping I can come home saturday night, because Sunday is going to be a LONG day if I stay in Bangor... getting up at 3 just doesn't seem at all appealing to me.

I'm kinda torn, but not really at the same time. The 28th of August is the day that I'm going to Boston... however they've asked for volunteers to do a gig that day. It's the 94th Military Police unit in Saco... they're the group that's had the LONGEST deployment in Iraq than any other military unit... they're having a ceremony for them on the 28th. Is it selfish for me to stick to my original plan and make all these plans for Boston?

I mean, already got concert tickets, got the tickets for the museum, and I'm getting the train tickets this week. For me with the income I have right now... this is a MAJOR investment. SO, that being said, I'm not going to feel as bad... Call me selfish... but I call it prioritizing.

Alrighty... I think I've divulged enough for now. In some ways too much... But, this should appease the masses ;-) JK!!!

12:41 am: My GOD it's late...
I thought I could fall asleep. I even shut everything off and layed down @ 11:00. EEEHHH wrong... Here it is an 0-dark-hundred... and I can't sleep.

I am tired, but not THAT tired... Blah..

I hate senseless arguements. Ones where you're 100% sure you're right yet the other participant says... "Let's agree to disagree" Well, NO!!! I'm right. I mean I know it's not that big of a deal but I dunno... I don't even know why it's bugging me. I know I'm right... right?

So here I sit. Tired, yes. Would I fall asleep if I layed down again? Nope.

There's a lot of what-if's and how-come's and things like that running through my head tonight.

Of the millions of years of human evolution why hasn't anyone come up with a decent and well practiced formula for life, liberty and happiness. Does it have to be a constant persuit?

The saying is "Life is what you make of it." Well, hmm... Okay, and "If you don't like a situation... change it."

If life were truly that simple... would any of us be unhappy at all? I mean yes, it's sometimes easy to make lemonade out of lemons...

I'm 27... I feel like I've lived two lives without even living one yet.

Blah... (I think I say that a lot on here..._

I also use ... a lot. Perhaps it's to show my insane pauses between thoughts? But at the same time, I use them when chatting online. Only there, I use them quickly.

Ahh well... Off to ponder more of my internal strife.

12:18 pm: Another Sunday Morning
Man, it's only noon and I feel like I've been up all day. Went grocery shopping with the female parental unit. Not so bad... but there are some seriously mentally deficient people out there.

Went to put gas in the car after putting air in the tires, and this guy spent 5 minutes in the store, and a goon 5 or more getting situated in his car after returning to his vehicle. WTF?!?

Ahh well... It's a nice day, quite warm in the sun. I was considering mowing the lawn. However I'm not sure if I'm feeling like that nice of a kid today.

Perhaps I'll play Sacred some. That game is taking over my soul. But it's definately a kick-arse game. Way better than D2, and completely different than NeverWinter.

I can't wait 'till August 31st. Going to see the Blue Man show in Boston with Holly Brown. That's gonna be sooo kick-ass. Hopefully meet up with Bobby-V for dinner. But either way, it's a Blue Man show and how could you possibly go wrong.

Well, I'm off to go kill some pixelated beasts. Just figured that I'd write a little something in my journal.

Keep it real!

03:27 pm: This is new...
This is the first time I've ever used this. I haven't yet decided if it's a wonderful thing. But perhaps I'll have some fun with it. Always open for new things... I guess this is another one of 'em.

I always feel weird filling out "bios" or things of the like. Ahh well. Keep smilin'!!

I'll try to link to some of my friends. I got Vanessa :-) Hope you had a safe trip kiddo!
