Well I've got a long way to run...

Tuesday, May 30, 2006 // 10:27 PM

Are these times contagious?

I've never been this bored before.

Is this the prize I've waited for?

Now as the hours passing

There's nothing left here to insure.

I long to find a messenger.

Have I got a long way to run?

Yeah, I run.......

Is there a cure among us?

From this processed sanity.

I weaken with each voice that sings.

Now in this world of purchase

I'm going to buy back memories.

To awaken some old qualities.

Have I got a long way to run?

Yeah, I run.....

This is probably my favorite song as of late. The more I listen to it, the more I miss high school and being a kid. I really wish I would have remembered this song when we were going to graduate. I would have offered it to be one of the choices. Probably would have been overruled but what else it new. I just had my first rent payment due today. 365.83 dollars..... sucky. I really miss the days when I just came home and everything was here for me. Now I almost have to fend for myself. I need to get a job, but everywhere I apply doesn't contact me. That or they hire me and fire me in the same day without even getting a chance to actually work. (Curse you TELETECH!) Last night I stayed the night at Casie's to watch I Love Lucy. We made it through half an episode and zonked. I woke up this morning just as Casie was returning from her sit in road work and missed her pilates class. We had some coffee, played some piano, and passed the ole' ball. Then I got the idea to have a cookout. I had people come over at 7:00 and I made everyone hamburgers and hotdogs. It was really really fun, at least to me it was. Casie made a little fire up on our hill and exploded herself. She flew backwards about fifteen feet it looked like. The funny thing about it was that she wasn't even upset. She just got up and was like eww I'm slimy from the grass. It looked like a scene from a movie, like no joke, she looked like mission impossible or something. Tomorrow I think I might jump in the pool or something because it is warm out and we put in the chemicals so it should be all set :). Casie if you want to come up and swim, just come on up cause it will be a blasttttttt! Love to all!

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on the River... Ohio that is.

So today was pretty hectic. More of a delightful hectic than a manic hectic. First of all, Shannon woke me up at 6:00 this morning to kill a bug in the bathtub. Alright alright, it took me all of five seconds to go in, smash it, and flush it down the tube. I went back to bed, then my mom woke me up at 8:00 to eat breakfast....crazy diet. I ate my eggs, then went back to bed. I woke up at 12:00, ate luncheroo with my mom, and then Casie called to see if I wanted to go on a walk/jog with her. With much pressure, I gave in and went. It was refreshing, yet at the same time, it hurt. I always get a stomach ache when I run like that. We were at that for about an hour and half before deciding that we wanted to go kayaking. John, Mark, Casie, and I went for a 4 hour kayak excursion to Middle Island were we skipped rocks and took scary pictures and dug in the ground. When we came back to the dock, I helped everyone load up all the kayaks and then went to play tennis with Meredith, Marcus, Shannon, and Andy. I sucked it up and Meredith got strangely weird for some reason but that's alright. We only played for about another half hour after I got there and then went home. I think everyone was pretty hungry. I came back and ate the delicious dinner that my mom set me and then watched Dumb and Dumber. Now I just got out of the bathtub from an exciting bubble bath and now I'm pooped. I'm off to bed so goodnight all <3!!!

We are the best tennis players ever!!!!

Saturday, May 20, 2006 // 6:01 PM

So today Meredith, Jordan, Shannon, and I played tennis for like an hour and a half. It was probably the best time I have had in a longggggg time. It was hilarious to watch a bunch of rookie tennis players act like we were hot stuff. Not only that, but we made it look good too! Now I just got done eating dinner and I'm thinking about maybe hitting up baristas and perhaps catching Over The Hedge in theaters. It looks like a really funny movie so I really really really want to see it. I'm such a cartoon junkie. Can't help it though, I grew up in the 90s. I just read this thing on myspace about being a 90s kid. Anybody under the age of 14 should not read this. Just because you were born in '92 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the nineties just wont cut it. Here it is.

You're a 90's kid if:

You've ever ended a sentence with the word "SIKE!"

You can sing the rap to "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air"

You remember when Kurt Cobain, Tupac, River Phoenix, and Selena died.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the red* Ranger were meant to be together

To the last sentence you said.....hey...Tommy was the green* ranger!!!!

*later to be white

When playing power rangers with friends you fought over who got to be who............and still all ended up being tommy

You remember when super nintendo's became popular

You remember watching Home Alone 1 and 2........and tried to pull the pranks on "intruders"

"I've fallen and I can't get up"

You remember going to the skating rink before there were inline skates

Two words... Trapper Keeper

You ever got injured on a Slip 'n' Slide

You wore socks over leggings scrunched down

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, all dressed in black, black, black, with silver buttons, buttons, buttons, all down her back, back, back" SHE ASKED HER MOTHER MOTHER MOTHER FOR FIFTY CENTS CENTS CENTS TO SEE THE ELEPHANTS PHANTS PHANTS JUMP OVER THE FENCE THE FENCE THE FENCE he jumped so high high high he touched the sky sky sky and he didnt come back back back til the forth of july ly ly he jumped so low ow ow he stubbed his toe toe toe and thats the end end end of the elephants show show show

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players

You remember New Kids on The Block when they were cool

You knew all the characters names and their life stories on "Saved By The Bell"

You played and or collected "Pogs"

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet or Nano and brought it everywhere

You watched the original Care Bears, My Little Pony, and Ninja Turtles, and Fraggle Rock

NANCY DREW AND THE HARDY BOYS WERE THE BEST MYSTERY BOOKS

Yikes pencils and erasers were the stuff

All your school supplies were "Lisa Frank" brand (pencils.notebooks.binders.etc.)

You remember when the new Beanie Babies were always sold out

You used to wear those stick on earings, not only on your ears, but at the corners of your eyes

You remember a time before the WB

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart

"Talk to the hand" ... enough said

You thought Brain woud finally take over the world

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You remember when everyone went slinky crazy

You remember when razor scooters were cool

You knew who loved Orange Soda

Saturday nights were always taken up by "Snick"

When we were younger:

Before the MySpace frenzy

Before the Internet & text messaging

Before Sidekicks & iPods

Before MIKE JONES

Before PlayStation2 or X-BOX

WHEN LIGHT UP SNEAKERS WERE KOOL

When you rented VHS tapes, not DVDs

When gas was $0.95 a gallon & Caller ID was a new thing

When we recorded stuff on VCRs & paid $3.50 for a movie

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!Your a 90's kid when you read this and smiled and laughed at least 5 of these.

I never realized how much I really miss the 90s. It's true, I remember like every single one of those. Okay, now that you have something think about, I will leave you in peace.

So overrated.... yet underrated.

Friday, May 19, 2006 // 12:22 AM

For whatever reason or not, I felt like putting up that particular away message because I'm listening to Bloc Party - Banquet and one of the verses in it mentions about being "underrated." Today was really rather uneventful. I got up and mowed the yard. That took a good 1 1/2 to 2 hours. I then took a much needed shower and went to the girls game down at the field. They lost 15-11 but they really did play well overall and it turns out that amanda got a homerun, and vicki got a triple out of the deal, so yeah. They played the Tyler Knights and Richard Long is their coach. Grrrr, that man drives me insane. I mean, he just nit-picks at EVERY little detail. The pitcher is slightly pulling her foot off the rubber and that's illegal, that was fielder interference, she gets and extra base not just to second, blah blah blah. Makes me want to hurl *sly, evil grin staring off into space*. I pointed out the illegal pitch as soon as she pitched it but I definitly did not make a big deal out of it. Alright, enough rant about him. It's just that I grew up with him coaching Sistersville softball and he gradually moved up with me and now he is starting over again with his own daughter. Well, after the game, I took a couple people home and then drove around for a bit. I came home, fixed me some dinner, and watched some I Love Lucy. Shannon and my mom came home from New Martinsville with Baristas; needless to say, I was jealous. I watched a lot of tv tonight because it seems like there is nothing else to do anymore. I mean, not everyone is out yet and we just don't hang out like we used to. We are pretty much the most boring people you would ever care to meet, but that doesn't mean we aren't cool. Marcus and John are going fishing tomorrow so I bet either Meredith will want to do something or something will come up. I really don't care one way or the other. We'll see how things go. I enjoy staying home and just chilling out, but I also enjoy hanging out with my friends too. I haven't really spent much time with them since we got back from Morgantown. Speaking of Morgantown, that is where Jedidiah is tonight. I bet he is drinking lots of beer, that child molesting bastard. He isn't really a child molester, just so you know (in case anyone other than one of my friends reads this and doesn't know him). He just has the molesterstache and has long black hair. Yeah, looks like the typical molester if there is even a norm for that. I got an extra loan for next semester, which is really awesome. I mean, it is the subsidized one. That means that the government pays for the interest intead of it accruing or me paying while in school. HECK YES! Man, my posts must be really boring to read. Nothing is really happening nor is it exciting. I don't really have anything insightful to say and I really am not thinking about anything at the present. I just have absolutely nothing going on right now. Go figure, right? I'm always the one who is just "around" and never "into something." Enough of my uninsightfulness (if that is a word). I think it is high time that I either hit the sack or do something a little more worthwhile, no? Peace

The Sleepanator

Monday, May 15, 2006 // 12:17 PM

Sooooooo, last night I went to bed at like 2:30, right? Well, I didn't wake up this morning until 1:00. What is going on here!!!! I never sleep that long! Oh well, now I feel really refreshed, even though half of my day is already shot to oblivion. I don't know what is going to go down tonight. Hard to tell, I mean, we usually don't know anything until around.... oh say 7:30-8:00. Sometimes that makes it a little difficult but hey, what are you gonna do?

I saw this picture and thought it was absolutely hilarious. So I had to share it. I think this is how he looks all the time. At least that is probably how he feels too. I know I shouldn't mock, but this country is going down the pooper and the only one who seems to fit the bill when it is the blame game is him. I mean, heck, he's running this country, right??? Maybe not. Well, I am going to get some lunch and then shower up because frankly, I feel disgusting. Peace

Waiting....

// 12:57 AM

Well, I'm just sitting here waiting for my virus scanners and spy-bot to finish their stuff so I can defragment my computer. It has never been done so we will see how this does. It is going to take for-ev-er. Oh well, I have all night. I'll just go watch tv or something I guess. Well, last night we went and saw Silent Hill. Man that movie was JACKED UP. It was really good but really creepy too. I wonder who came up with it? Anywaywho, afterwards we went to choo choos and ate all sorts of delicious food. I came back, went to bed, end o' story. Now this morning I had church and then Shannon and I went to Walmart to pick up some flowers for mom. We met them at Chinese and ate lunch with the my grandparents as well. We came home, watched tv, messed around.... then went back to church. Tonight after church I went and played poker at the Meadows. Needless to say I lost, but only because I blew this one hand where I should have taken him all-in instead of backing out at the last second. I ended up folding because I was afraid he had a flush. Instead, the last river card was the one I needed for a frickin full house. Grrrr, I hate it when that happens. Oh well, it's over with now. Well, it's done so now it is time for this computer to get "fixed." Goodnight my loves!

If I were you

Thursday, May 11, 2006 // 6:06 PM

You seem to find the dark

when everything is bright.

You look for all that's wrong,

instead of all that's right.

Does it feel good to you

To rain on my parade?

You never say a word,

unless it's to complain...

It's driving me insane.

If I were you,

holding the world right in my hand.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars for all that I have.

If I were you....

Look what's around you now,

more than you ever dreamed.

Have you forgotten

just how hard it used to be?

So what's it going to take

for you to realize

that it could go away,

in one blink of an eye?

It happens all the time....

If I were you,

holding the world right in my hands.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars above,

tell the words I love

that I do.

Yeah if I were you

Whoa, yeah if I were you

If I were you, whoaaaa

Yeah If I WERE YOU

So what's it going to take

for you to realize

it all could go away

in one blink of an eye??

It happens all the time!!

If I were you,

holding the world right in my hands.

The first thing I'd do,

is thank the stars above,

tell the words I love...

Take a breath and enjoy the view.

Live the life that I wanted to.

If I were you...

If I WERE YOU.

Why is it sooo cold out?

Monday, May 08, 2006 // 7:07 PM

I'm kind of confused as to why it is soooo cold outside. I mean, it's May 8th and it should not be that cold out all as far as I'm concerned. I had on my mesh shorts, cut off shirt, and my hoodie, plus I had a blanket and I was still cold! Oh well, tomorrow it had better be really nice outside or I'm going to have to pop a cap. This morning, or more like this afternoon, Casie, John, and I went for a run/walk. It was pretty exhilarating to just go and have someone to run with. I ran/walked with John and then took him home cause his hip was hurting him. I then came back and walked a lap quickly with Casie. I came home, took a shower, and then went down to the boys game. They won 10 - 3. That was pretty awesome because it is their sectionals and I think they have the potential to go all the way. No home runs, but I'll take the few doubles and they got. They are all way to fast for their own good. lol. Now I'm waiting on Meredith to get out of the shower and Casie to give me a call and we are going to go to Walmart to get food to take with us on our perilous drive to Columbus. Hopefully it all goes well. I can't wait to hear the bands play. It will be awesome let me tell you. Welp, I'm going to get downstairs and see what's cooking cause frankly I'm starvin. Peace Out.

Perpetual sleeplessness

Sunday, May 07, 2006 // 10:48 AM

Well, I had planned on not sleeping last night, and that is just about what I did. I took a bit of a power nap from about 6:30 to 9:00 this morning but other than that, I have calculated up that I haven't slept for a solid 61 hours. I have had 9 hours of sleep thus far in the past 3 1/2 days. This is getting a little on the ridiculous side but in the words of Track Star, "What are you gonna do???" Shannon and I are going to be hitting up the ole' game Mall Madness until lunch is ready. Frankly I can smell it up here and it smells "simply irresistable." I have been in a really weird mood..... not a bad one, a good one..... but weird nevertheless. I'm just really...... alive I guess you could say, or lack of a word thereof. I'm just really trying to be happy, put myself on the line, and make me happy with whatever it takes. I'm still just as considerate of others, but I really need to listen to my wants and needs too. I guess I just haven't really done that in a long time. I don't even remember what it feels like to beee selfish. I'm staring this can of Maxwell House Hazelnut coffee right in the face and I want it realllllly badly. I guess you could say I'm an addict, considering I also had some at the Court this morning. It wasn't really that good. See, I drink my coffee black or with slight creamer but this stuff needed sugar and it still didn't effect it in any way. I think I might make me a pot while I am cleaning up this junk heap called my room. It has soooo much stuff just piled in here because I brought all my stuff home from college and I have nowhere to put it until it is completely organized. That's right, and organization party!!! Welp, I'm out. Peace, nomaste, whatever else Casie says when she is talking to Jess (so I don't know any cool words of my own, big fat deal) >:{( (hahah he has a moustache)

Schoolssss Out For Summa

Saturday, May 06, 2006 // 2:04 PM

I actually forgot about this blog. Summer break has just begun and I'm pretty pysched. I'm ready for warm weather, sleeping, just basically relaxing. I haven't done that in soooo long. Next year, my schedule is soooo jacked up. I have Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Gross Anatomy, and Kinesiology... hopefully it all goes well. I really need to clean my room and my car... but I can't decide which one I want to do first. Probably car. It won't take nearly as long. I plan on washing and sweeping it out. Soooo dirty you know. I think that I need to get some exercise in. I went for a run with Shannon this morning cause she woke me up at 9:00!!!!!! I was sad, but I got up anyway and decided that it was good that I get up and do something at least. I miss my crew for Morgantown so bad. AMANDA!!! EMILY!!! JARED!!! TACO!!!! JESSE!!!! ADAM!!!! JAMIE!!! KYLE!!!! CODY!!! CORY!!!! ..... lots more but I don't feel like typing them all. Well, I'm off to do work. Adios!
