MySpace Blog

I'm actually going to copy and paste from a MySpace blog I wrote. How sad ahaha.


I still have some time here before kickoff at what seems like Bass Lake Lambeau. We got a good old 3 on 3 backyard football game planned and then chilling with the best peoples in the world. My Mom just informed me that there is going to be a family lunch at 1:30 which made me upset cause I can't go since kickoff is planned for 2:30. I might have to go see the ball drop with my Mom and Dad to make up for it. I really want to go to lunch with my my family and extended family but "Flash" called in so we could play and that just wouldn't be fair for him. I've pretty much spent every day with what I guess we can still call "The Hood." We got some old members back, and new ones and it makes me happy that we are the closest we have been in a while. I hope everyone reading this is spending the night with people they really care about. There are some names that would have been with us tonight in the past, but won't be but thats okay. I've come to find out that I can't hold on to some things no matter how hard I try. And if they are the ones that want to leave, thats okay. I still feel like a pussy teenager talking about heartbreak and friendship...but what are we living for then? Isn't interacting and laughing one of the most human things we can still do? Money only gets us so far, but with family, friends and love, I think its endless. While I'm on the topic of heartbreak I should really say thanks to Ben Lee (I dont think he reads these anywho ahah). We went through a little bit of a rough time, but I feel that he has been trying as hard as I am to mend things while we can during winter break. I know he has other peoples he needs to see and visit, work, and I know he has morphed into this party animal so I know he has keggers to attend and vodka to chug or whatever you people like to ruin your livers with, but it honestly feels like with what ever spare time he has left, he has dedicated to me. And the one time we have spent together felt like old times. No grudges or anything. Just Halo and music. It makes me happy that 16 years of friendship weren't put to waste. He even invited me to spend the day with his girlfriend when she comes down and he told me he would spend the day with me after work on my birthday. All of that means alot to me. And although I wish he could spend the day with us on New Years Eve, I know what New Years Eve is all about, and I also know there isn't going to be any Hennessy at Jons house tonight haha. And it means alot to me that he would invite be to chill with his girlfriend cause I know they usually "party" together. It seems like all my friends ban me from places where alcohol will be present cause I'm not going to drink. Mother fuckers, I'm still a social person. Isn't that everyones excuse for why they use it, to get loose?

Anywho, I feel really stupid cause I'm a 19 soon to be 20 year old grown man and I am talking about heartbreak and friendship. But come on, its my first ever heartbreak (Kinda gay that its not with a girl or something) and I think bonds between people are the strongest and most meaningful things in the world. Loyality, honor and those "unwritten" rules as well. The "human things" lets call them. I've become some sensative girl but thats okay, I am happy with the person I've become. I can be more honest to myself and everyone. But I understand it changes the way I present myself and if you want to make fun of my cool, I'll probably laugh with you. But understand you need to know the fine balance.

Anywho, enough of about the serious shit. I wish I could write about the fun times yesterday but I really need to get ready for kickoff so I will write about them later. Maybe not here and just in my blogspot. If its good I'll copy paste. But we had some good times last night.

As for this football, if we find ourselves a camera person I will edit the footage and post a second football video.

I hope everyone has a beautiful and wonderful New Years Eve. Its not my most happy time of the year which I will explain later to the people who don't know why. But enjoy your time and stay safe. I'll be out on the road looking for drunk drivers to run into haha.

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!

Lets Catch Up

I havent been able to post any blogs the last few days just cause I've been pretty busy. A couple of days ago Ben came over after work and slept over. We made a late night Perkins run, and hit up Walmart after. Before we went to bed to LANed HALO. It was an okay session. No one really showed up except for Ben and I. That night I figured out why some people don't like playing Halo. If you suck, you probably are not going to want to play with some elite people. It seems like the people that suck always give up half way or avoid the game. There are only a select few in our group that actually like to be challenged. Its pretty obvious when you look at the current status of the people I hang out and it kind of makes me sad because most of the people I hang out with are very kind at heart. They just dont ever push them selves. I'm not saying that if you suck at Halo you are going to fail at life, but that is just an example of an extention of their personalities. I think suburban life has affected them all in a way where they think they can have what ever they want when ever they want. If they start failing at it, they quit and the thought of getting better at something is skipped.

We played Halo until 6 in the morning and after we got cleaned and headed over to Peters. There Ben and I put our minds together agian and got alot further on our latest song. Ben got his guitars in and put in this sweet bell part. Later Peter got some sweet drums in that turned out nice. I finally had a chance to put some vocals in. I feel they were not the best, but I need practice to get better. This is pretty much my first chance and I was pretty nervous since everything else was sounding so good. I look foward to a couple of more opportunities where hone and craft what I want myself to sound like. I challanged myself and I want to be a better singer. The screaming in the song sounded good enough to me, but the vocals are still a little off. Agian, the challenge I presented with myself isn't going to be easy, but my competitive nature makes it so exciting. I guess you just have to be born with drive and passion (I should have stated this above). I also want to work on writing lyrics. I made these lyrics kind of quick thinking that I might have a chance to lay them down the first night Ben and I worked on the song. In the future I hope to have a couple of hours to think about an emotion and an event that has effected me and put some true "guts" and "spirit" into the lyrics. Making music with Ben has to be one of the funnest things I can do right now. It would be awesome to do it for a living and actually make money doing something we would do anyways.

After we finished at Peters we went to the Osseo ice arena and watched some of Nick and Jon's hockey game. Of course I cheered my little yellow ass off. The next morning, I was so jet lagged from the sleep over I woke up close to 11 a.m. I only had time to do some chores and get cleaned up so I didnt have time to blog. The sad thing is I rushed myself to a day filled with nothing. I wanted to have a few days where I did nothing, but now it just feels like I am wasting my winter break so I got to get active. Thats why Mitch and I planned for a little more upbeat day. Matinee movie and thrift store action! We plan on watching the new Will Smith joint "In Pursuit of Happiness." The movie looks very emotional and I probably will cry like a little bitch (Which reminds me I have to look up movie times. This blogging service works wonders!). Then thrift store. We dont know which one yet. I talked to some people and I plan on visiting some old highschool friends one of these times. Nick and Jon have hockey games tonight and I always have fun screaming at little kids. They are on seprerate teams and play at seperate arenas so which ever is more convenient is the one I will go to.

I wish I could get into more detail about everything I just talked about but it is now 12:10 and I need to get cleaned up for the day.
Have a beautiful day everyone! (I really dont think anyone reads these haha)

God I'm Behind

I failed writing on here everyday of my winter break. But I have a very good excuse, I've been busy. Very busy! Its all Bens fault.

But tommorrow when I wake up, I promise I will write.

Post X-mas Syndrome

What ever my title is, I dont have it. Just sounded cool.

Nothing really new to update on but I just love writing on this site so much I had to do it. I promised myself I would write on here everyday of winter break. It was so much fun going back about 2 years and reading what I wrote in my MySpace blogs that I want to keep it going so in about 2 more years I can write about how nonstressful my life really was. I usually make good on promises.

Yesterday all I did was edit random videos all day. Editing random videos really makes me want to capture some actual footage that I can use. Hopefully I can throw something together soon. I'll probably throw the new crap on youtube or something. And trust me, they really are crap.

Otherwise I spent about an hour of my night collecting "Backyard Footage Fantasy Football" stats and posting them on myspace (I'll copy and paste them on here as well). After, Jon came over and I finally opened Monkey Ball and we killed that for about two hours. Its no Mario Party, but it'll last us for a little while. We only had two Wiimotes so I look foward to what 4 play mayhem might be like. Hopefully a little more focused then Elebits haha. That shit is still fun though.
I really enjoy listening to Jons catalogue of Christmas presents every year haha. The first thing he told me when he walked downstairs was all the presents he got. I notcied yesterday you can please that guy with pretty much anything, but I guess thats what happens when you deal with someone has kind hearted as Jon. He got some sweet presents, but he got also got some not so "attractive" articles of clothes but he treats them like gold. So I guess it could be two thing; 1) He is happy with everything he gets, or, 2) He is not a fashion guru. But neither am I.

Today holds no plans for anyone. Jon and I planned a sleep over and I just got a wonderful text from Ben that he is going to join us that makes me soo happy. This way we can spent some time playing Halo and other VG's and write some wonderful music. I dont know why, but I REALLY enjoy writing music. Well I kinda know why, because I fucking love music, but we aren't that good. After hearing that Ben would join us, I also figured we will need to make a late night Perkins trip. I still want to visit the Thrift store!! haha. Oh, I still need to call Skye and everyone else I want to see over break.

Hopefully I can post something later today talking about how sweet stuff is going...but then agian, if I am doing fun stuff, why would I waste my time on here? Because I love you.

Nice!

I didnt know if you could embed videos on here but thats pretty sweet that you can. I posted the football footage we collected when we had our weekely football stint. Its roughly edited, but it was really just meant to get the action out. The editing helps it flow a little better. It was the first time we played in over a year I think. Some of the things some people say are really funny and you will hear the sound bits through out the video. Watching everyone really helps me understand what kind of player everyone is. Knowing what people do off the ball should help me draft next time around.

Testing 1, 2, 3...

I'm going to try and post the "Very Intense Football" video on here.

Christmas Day

I hope everyone has a beautiful Christmas and I hope everyone got what they wanted from Santa. I didn't have anything on my wish list. I guess there are a couple of items that I wanted but they aren't necessary to my happiness so I don't ask for them. The things I really are things that can't be bought with money. So I'm kind of out of luck.

There are a handful of concerts I am considering attending. The only one for sure is the Underoath, Taking Back Sunday and Armor for Sleep concert on March 4th. Tickets were pretty expensive but its going to be worth it. $36 dollars per person after all those little fees. If anyone is thinking about going to the Brand New concert you should tell me. I am thinking about going to that one but I have a lack of funds so it depends and I want to know who else they are playing with. I am also thinking about going to the Anberlin concert since it is $10. Dirt cheap! Bayside is supporting them along with Meg and Dia.

Anywho, I'll probably be updating a couple of times today since my x-mas is probably going to pan out as a pretty lame one.

Merry Christmas everyone!

On the Eve

Christmas eve. Time seems to move a little slower on Christmas eve. Nothing to worry about, and since it landed on a Sunday I sat around and watched football all day. I havent been able to sit around and just concentrate on watching football for a long time. I'm glad I got a chance to today since today is our fantasy football championship between Jon and I. I am in prime position to win be another football league and like my fifth strait fantasy league win. I am roughly 6 points down with Brian Westbrook and Tony Romo to play on Monday night. Jon has L.J Smith going for him on Monday night but I still dont think it should be a problem. On a sad fantasy note, I lost my first week in our fantasy basketball league 4-5.

Last night the church came over for a dinner party. The little kids in our church always manage to break something when they come over and they didnt disappoint a soul last night. And I managed to get slammed in the nuts, well, it was actually just my right nut. I let the little brats try out my Wii and it might have been one of the scariest experiences I've had in a while, but there is a reason behind letting them try things. Its because when I was a young'n at the church many older students helped me have alot of fun when they would have dinners at their house. I kind of wanted them to experience the same thing. The Wiimote and TV managed to stay intact. Jon came over towards the tail end of the dinner and after we got sick of babysitting we walked over to Jon house where Peter and Andy met up with us. We played Elebits until and watched some TV. When it seemed like everyone was sick of Elebits we went to the friendly neighborhood Applebees. Bees never fails us when we are looking for a cheap snack and good conversation atmosphere. We touched various topics. We thought of the perfect concoction for Dean when he gets back from Hotlanta. He is going to die and it is going to be great. We also talked about the NFL where Peter failed to name a single NFC team. After we finished with our snack, we thought we would pay Wal-Mart a visit agian. We ran into many exciting products that we would buy if we had extra change to waste. We wasted most of our time in the $5.50 bucket of DVDs. I would say a safe 35 minutes of our time went to digging through hundreds of DVDs. Its pretty sad but Decoys won out of all the movies. The movie is a poorfly made Sci-Fi movie about a female alien race that came to Earth to re-populate. It was REALLY bad. But were we expecting greatness? HELL no! We wanted to watch a shitty Sci-Fi/Horror movie and it lived up to the hype. Thanks to Andy for making our Sunday morning brilliant. I woke up around 11 o'clock this morning mostly because I got home at 4 a.m since we needed to finish Decoys.

After a football packed day, I pretty much have nothing to do. My famo doesnt really go all out for Chirstmas so nothing really to look foward to either. Leah came home from work with the Monkey Ball game for the Wii which I am very excited to play when we have 4 Wiimotes. The mini-games are going to be off the chain.

Leah is still going through her little "PMS, I am the Queen of the world because I know all" phase. It bugs the hell out of me, but my Mom tells me to be the mature one. But sometimes you just want to knock the shit out of her cause she is so dumb.

Mission: Failed

In my previous blog I stated that we were going to get an early start since Dean had to leave that night. Well, we didnt. Jon and Dean woke up around 2 p.m and Dean's Pops came to pick him up around 3ish or 4ish. Jon went to hockey and when he and Nick finished up they both came to my house and Peter joined us. We played some Melee and layed low. We made a Taco Bell run right before midnight and also stopped by Wal-Mart so I could pick up some X-mas presents for the little kids at my church. It was a pretty fun night and I wish I could go into more detail but I just dont have that kind of time right now. The reason being that the church came over for dinner and for such a small church there are alot of little brats. They will fuck up everything in their path so I kind of have to babysit and monitor the safety of my basement.

The roads are slippy as hell, drive safe people.

This fucking Blogging service rocks. It is so easy to get lost when writing here.

Fun Hangover

Yesterday was a day well spend in my opinion. The messy road conditions due to the ice/snow made it harder for us to go out, but we managed to have alot of fun. I woke up earlier then most like usual and did some chores. I started editing our football footage and it was HILARIOUS! After I got my hair did I joined Jon, Dean and Nick in the back yard. Andy joined us later. We made snow Bonobos and goofed around.

After it was all done, we just sat around and didnt do much.

Later that night Andy, Dean, Jon and I went for our late night, or I guess it would technically be our early morning Perkins run. We didnt get our usual server Joel, which made us a little sad but we managed. I love it when we can all get together and make trips to Perkins or Applebees and just chat about stuff. We talk about anything and everyone has input which makes is very exciting. We often find our selves talking about dreams alot. This time around I brought up what do you think your wife would be like and we got into it a little bit. Its been nice having Andy around lately. I really appreciate his company when we have our dinner talks. I feel like I can talk to him about more things then I can with others. Jon is full of energy but sometimes it feels like he is still a little to young, sometimes he cant keep up with our conversations. Dean is able to keep up, but sometimes he is a little dull and more sensitive topics seem to bother him. Andy finds a balance and it makes it very easy to talk to him about things and then he has good input after. There is alot of bad history between Andy and I, and I never really thought we would hang out agian like we are doing, but I'm glad things have changed. He has been a nice addition to our little group which seems to be dying off fast. There are alot of reasons behind my change of heart, mostly guilt, but I won't share at this time. Maybe in a future blog, I'll express what I am thinking and feeling. Jons friend Nick has also been hanging out with us alot and I find it great that he is doing so. I could care less about a persons social status or where he or she comes from. But if a person is truly kind at heart, thats really all that matters isnt it? Lately, it seems like I misjudge alot of people. I give them to much credit then deserved. I hope I am not making that mistake here.

Anywho, we were supose to have a early start on the day since Dean is leaving later tonight to Atlanta, but Jon and Dean havent called me yet so I can assume they are sleeping.

Snowing in Minnesota!?

Ya, it finally came. A little late, but I guess thats okay. Take that fucking Al Gore. I woke up to the sound of rain this morning and I was thinking it was going to be a warm day, but that quickly changed. All the rain on the ground turned into ice and the rain turned into that soft floating snow that tends to kiss our cheeks with love. The roads are very slippery right now. The fresh snow that has just landed is prime for making snow men, balls, ect. We made a couple of very large snow boulders and a snow bonobo. After we destroyed all our creations we got trixy with snowboards. The funniest part was when we tried to imitate Mario Kart: Double Dash. We first tried to do a triple dash which quickly failed then Dean and Jon continued with the Double Dash mission. When we had enough failure we quit. All of us are now getting cleaned up. We have no plans yet tonight. We might go to Jons hockey game at nine. Otherwise we really wanted to go to the Thrift Store but the poor driving conditions turn us away.
We'll see.

We Have Lift Off

My first day of winter break 2006-07 is finished. It was a rather slow day, but I cant complain, this is what I asked for. The time and chance to do nothing. Not a damn thing. I woke up, went out with my Mom hit up a few stores, ate lunch at the friendly neighborhood Applebees. Then I came home and went out with Peter to go pick up Dean then we just sat in my basement. It was grand. We played some Melee but thats about all I remember. It was the dullest day ever. Today we are hoping to get out a little more and I am looking foward to it. We were thinking about playing some basketball but I woke up to the sound of rain falling. Basketball!? In the middle of Dec in Minnesota. Thats nuts. Thank you Al Gore for all you do.

Anywho, I am just writing this to test out the whole set up of the website. I am kind of still getting used to it. They let you customize everything.

This is going kick ath!

So many new ways to be creative. This is going to be sweet.

Practice

I just want to see how this whole thing works. I am really pumped to blog on here. Fucking Myspace has let me down so many times. I have written a couple of very important blogs on there only to have the erased due to a myspace error.
