3/30/03
So to catch up on the weekend, well not much to really catch up on, but here's what I have. Saturday wasn't too bad of a day. I got up earlier than usual for a Saturday. I think it was like 10 and I usually sleep in till 11:30 to 12. So that wasn't cool, but it's alright. It's still more sleep than I get during the week. So I sat around and ate my breakfast. Then I decided that I'd finally burn my Thursday songs that I've had for a good while. Then about 2 I think Mole came over and we played pool and foosball. It was a pretty good time. I had fun for once at my house. So I was happy that he came over and chilled for awhile. At about 4:30 I left to clean the church which wasn't too bad other than having to clean the windows which I hate a lot because it's impossible to keep them clean or even get them completely clean on one side. Oh well, I do what I can to keep it clean. No one complains, well other than my mom who complains all the time that stuff is dirty. Oh well, everyone at the church tells me I'm doing a good job. So then I headed to Keith's after that. It wasn't a bad time at Keith's last night. Nothing really went on. Played video games, talked, watched tv and listened to music. So it was better than spending my night at home like I did Friday. So I was happy at least. So today church seemed really short for some reason. I'm not sure why. I think it was prolly that the sermon was really short or something to that effect. So I spent most of the day just sitting around and relaxing. I should have taken a nap because I only slept like 5 hours and I don't like doing that. Anyways, I ended up starting to type up my one narrative that I wrote for Nicole for Valentine's Day last year. She told me earlier that her guidance counselor read it and said it was really good, so I guess that got me interested. So I don't know what I'll be doing with it, but hopefully I can work on it some. I guess it is a good story, but it needs a lot of work. It has a lot of weak parts that need to be strengthened with more detail and description. Yeah, that's about it other than I actually started reading Frankenstein for Humanities instead of just reading sparknotes. And I guess I'm going to Prom with Nicole too so I guess I'll see how that goes. I've been thinkng too, I really need to decide what I'm going to do for vacation in NC this year. I guess I better put some thought into that soon because it's just around the corner. The beach will be a great place to just relax and let everything out. I can't wait...night

So the past couple of days have been very boring. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary at all so it makes for a very dull life. Pretty much all I’ve been doing is homework and playing Mortal Kombat. I skipped out on soccer yesterday to write a paper for my one class which was due today and when I get there, I find out that the class is cancelled and the paper is due Monday now. So I was pissed off by that. If I would have known, then I would have still went to soccer, but I didn’t so I missed out on having some fun. So in Mortal Kombat I finally beat all the Konquest missions. There were 218 of them, so I guess that took me a long time, but I finally beat them all. I now have all the characters in the game as well. Now I’m just working on getting all the endings for all the characters. So that will really take me awhile because it’s not all that easy, and it takes awhile for each person. There are 23 characters and I’ve gotten only 3 of them. So I’m not getting too far very quickly. Anyways, today I went to school and got my one test back in Humanities. I got a 92% on it so I was happy. That’s better than my first 84%. So now I can only miss 4 questions on the tests to make it so I won’t have to take the final. I’m not really sure if I can do that, but I guess I’ll find out eventually. I finished up my program today and printed out everything that I needed. There were a lot of pages because this is the longest program we’ve done so far this semester. I think like 5 pages for the whole program. So then after that I went to lunch with my mom at Penn Dragon. It wasn’t too bad. Then I waited around for French class because my Appl of Micro class was the one that was cancelled. So then I sat around all day hoping that something would come up for tonight which it turned out that nothing happened. I called Nicole’s to see if she was there, but she was out. Then I went to Keith’s dorm and called up, but no one answered, so I just drove home disappointed. So I sat around all night watching Half Baked and playing Mortal Kombat. What a sad, sad life I lead. Oh well, what can you do. I tried…night
3/26/03
Today wasn't all that great. I wasn't really that tired today for once. I'm not sure why because I really didn't get anymore sleep than usual, but oh well, if it works go with it. So anyway work was pretty boring in the morning. I really didn't do anything. My only class was sort of interesting I guess. It dealt with different personality types, and I fit into some of them. So I learned some stuff. Finally, I got my free lunch today in the cafeteria. I had to buy 10 lunches before I could get a free one and so that was sort of cool. But if you think about it, I spent $42 on it before I got my free one, so that doesn't seem all that fair. Oh well, it was free and I should be happy about it. So at work I found out that a bunch of guys were playing soccer outdoor and the one guy who works in the library, his name is Taytay or something like that, told me to come when I got off work, so I was happy about that. It was really fun. I deftly liked playing there than indoor. The guys who I was playing with were a whole lot better than most of the people at indoor. So that was the best part of it. So I can't wait to play with them again. So then I went to indoor soccer after that, but didn't stay the whole time. I guess it just wasn't the same playing indoor then. So as I was leaving, I saw Janice sitting down and I talked to her for awhile which wasn't bad. I guess she's moving away next semester so she can be back with her g/f, lesbians are cool. Well that's all I have. Oh yeah, I finally got farther than I did at Tyler's house in Mortal Kombat tonight, so I'm on my way...night
3/24/03
Today was alright for the most part I guess. I woke up really tired because for some odd reason I couldn't get to sleep last night. I went to bed at 11 and when I looked at the clock again it was 12:30. So I guess I was just in deep though. So anyways, I didn't get much sleep to say the least. So anyways, for some weird reason, when I got out of my car to go to class some weird feeling came over me to just smile, or try to at least. I just kept thinking to myself that I should tell myself that I should just try and be happy and just try and smile and see what comes of it even though I really have no reason to be happy or smile. And I just kept telling myself that eventually something good is bound to happen. Things can't go on forever being bad. So as much as it pains me to do it, I'm going to try and be happy at school even though, like I said before, I don't have much to be happy about. So I guess I'll see how that works. It probably won't work very well at all, but I feel that it's worth a try. I guess I was just observing today and saw that pretty much everyone who was walking with someone was smiling compared to the people by themselves who either had just a plain look or were frowning. So in just that short amount of time, it was very apparent that companionship or friendship makes all the difference in how a person looks or feels. So I found that to be very interesting. So my classes were fairly boring although I tried to be optimistic about everything. My appl of micro test was a little harder than the first, but I think I did alright on it. All my other classes were just average. So I was planning on coming home today, but being that my brother has to suck, I had to wait around to leave with my mom and let him drive my car. It seems that he just went on a field trip out of nowhere so I had to work around his schedule. What a bunch of crap. I was planning on maybe going golfing, but that whole idea was scrapped so I came home and played video games. Other than that my night was boring. I finished 90% of my program that's due next Monday so I'm set for that class. Well that's all I got...night
3/23/03
So my weekend wasn't that bad, but then again it wasn't that great either. Both Friday and Saturday I ended up going to Tyler's house where we played video games most of the time. Well all the time on Saturday, but not all on Friday. So Friday I went to his house after work was done at 5. We mostly sat around playing games. Jimmy was there too and Dusty for awhile. So it wasn't that bad. I had some fun. So then after Jimmy and Dusty left we went upstairs and played cards. I eventually got whipped in the face with a pair of pajamas which really didn't feel good at all. I must say, Nichole is lucky I'm a nice guy or else I would have slapped her down for hitting me in the face because it really didn't feel good at all. It crossed my mind, but like I said, I'm too nice to do that. So we just sat around some more tyring to think of stuff to do till about 2:00 in the morning when I took Keith back to his dorm and then headed home. So I went to sleep sometime after 3 and what really sucked was I woke up at 9 because people were being loud in my house, and I couldn't fall back asleep. So I got up and messed around. Talked to Keith sometime after lunch and decided to go to his dorm. Before I went there, I headed to Walmart to pick up a new PS2 game: Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. So then to the dorm and then to Tyler's where we played Mortal Kombat pretty much all day long. So I was pretty tired by the end of the night and left at around 11:30. Church this morning was fairly dull. What really sucked today though was going to this Phi Eta Sigma induction thing. It ws really boring and we didn't do anything really. So it was pretty much a waste of time. Just something to tack onto a resume. So then I went around with my parents to shop a little in Clarion. We ate at Arby's then went to the mall. At JCPenny's I got a new shirt and tie and when checking out I helped some older lady get out the door because she was having trouble. It's funny how something so small can make you feel good abotu yourself. But she said at least there's some gentlemen left in the world, so I was happy about that. So that was about it. I came home and read for like 2 and a half hours in my Microsoft book for my test tomorrow which will probably be gay. I'm sure it will be actually. That's it...night
3/20/03
So the past two days have been less than eventful. Wednesday I pretty much moped around doing nothing. Although I did find something out. Cute little puppies attract all kinds of women if you walk onto campus with it. My one proffesor brought his new puppy to work and took it outside to go to the bathroom and the girls flocked around him like mad. So if you want to get the attention of girls, buy yourself a cute puppy and head to a college campus near you. It's guarenteed to work. Other than that, the only thing that happened was that I beat Soul Reaver 2. I was pretty pleased with the game although the amount of places that you could go to in this game didn't seem to be as abundant as in the original Soul Reaver. So I was sort of disappointed by that, but I still loved the game just the same. So I can't wait till the 3rd installment of the game comes out. You could sort of tell where they were heading in this game after playing the first one, but now I have no clue where they're going to go with the game. I guess I'll just have to wait and see and watch for any news on the progress of this game. I can't wait. Today was pretty boring too. I went to work, then class, lunch with Keith, then work, then my other job cleaning the church and back home. So that was my boring day pretty much. I guess today was really boring. I just hadn't thought about it too much. But I did a good deal of studying tonight, more than I usually tend to do, and I did some homework too that I usually let till the afternoon the next day. So in other news, if you even come to my site, you've realized that I've changed it a good deal. I'm no longer going with the Transformers motif. I've decided to go with a more darker, vampirish motif. Being that I like vampire movies so much, I decided that this would be a good idea for me. Whether or not it looks any good, I'm not sure, but it's deftly better than it was there for awhile. So I guess I'm glad I actually got around to doing that. Hopefully people like it. If not then oh well. I can't do anything about it...night
3/18/03
The past two days have been pretty boring and full of nothing being done by me for the most part so this entry will be pretty short compared to the ones I've been writing. Yesterday was very boring. All my classes almost put me to sleep. I drove because, well it's only fair that I drive the same number of days to school as my brother instead of me riding with him Monday and coming home with him. So I'm guessing I'll probably be doing that from now on. Other than that, nothing happened. Well it was actually warm and I didn't have to wear a coat although I guess the weather is supposed to be getting cold again which sux. Stupid weather. Today was just as boring. The highlight of the day was playing soccer tonight I guess. Yeah, my life is really boring and it sux. Oh well. Something is bound to come up...night
3/16/03
So last night, a lot of stuff happened I guess. The whole thing at Keith's really wasn't as good as what would be thought. There was a lot of stuff said there that I didn't find to be very cool, but I won't be repeating that here because I'm not one to go around gossiping about shit. Personally, I don't think it's up to me to say it anyway, although I do feel that it sort of is my place to say some stuff. But I won't let that get the better of me because I realize that that will only make things worse, and so I'll just let things go to chance. Actually, it might be more interesting that way anyway. Oh well. So anyways, I didn't really drink. I didn't feel like drinking, and I'm actually really glad I didn't. So anyways, that was that. During the night a lot of stuff happened like I said. A lot of playing video games, a lot of people being all depressed, and a lot of sausage again. Well for the most part at least. There were a few girls there, but they didn't stay. Like the two girls from Brookville. At one point I went into the kitchen to throw away my cup and the Heidi girl told me that the other girl wanted me. Whether or not she really did probably really didn't matter because I wasn't really caring all that much. If she did, well then I guess I missed out, and if she didn't then oh well. I'm sure I could have at least stayed and talked to her, but I just shrugged it off and went back into the living room. So I got pretty much no sleep. So church wasn't that bad this morning. We had a different preacher filling in today who was really good with his sermon. So it kept me awake. Then after church I came home and ate and guess what. It was warm out and Mole called me up to go golfing. Thank god. I can finally get back to golfing. I love golfing. It helps me to relax and I have fun with it. So at least something good came out of this weekend if nothing else. Oh yeah, I shot pretty good today as well. I shot a 44 and last year I averaged about a 45 so that was one better. So I was really pleased with myself. Other than that nothing has happened really. I finished my essay for my scholarships finally. And that's it...night
3/13/03
So not much happened on Wednesday. It was my first day back to school after break which wasn't all that great. The only thing of any importance really was that I got my programming test back and I received the highest score in the class. So that made me happy. Other than that nothing really happened. I came home from school with my brother and dl a song that I like right now. It's called Ignition (Remix) by R. Kelly. I think it's pretty good. So then I just pretty much played one of my new video games. I decided to play Twisted Metal Black first because, well I have no clue why. I just grabbed it. It was sort of really hard to control at first because I was so used to the ones for regular playstation. The controls are different now and it's a whole lot harder than the previous ones. And I even have it on easy. So that really sux. I don't know if I'll like it as much as the other ones. I don't think I really like it as much to tell the truth. It just doesn't seem to keep the same things as the pervious Twisted Metal games. It's like they tried to make the cars more realistic or something. I don't know. I can't really explain it. It's just different I guess. So it's not the same as the others and I'm not used to it. So today was pretty boring too. Most of my days at school are. I only had my one class today, Psych. Wasn't bad. Lucn wasn't bad either. At work in the afternoon there was a new girl working. She had a really pretty face, but her body wasn't all that great. I talked to here really briefly. She doesn't work the same time as me. But I don't think I'll really talk to her anyway. It's just like I don't really want to be with anyone right now. I just want to go out and have without having any commitments to any girls really. Friends with benefits would be really cool to come by, but that doesn't come by all to easily. Actually I probably couldn't even do that because I'm too nice of a guy to just have that happen. I suck pretty bad. Oh well. Nothing will happen anyway because like I said, she doesn't work the same time as me and so I won't ever see her. I couldn't do anything about it anyway. So anyways, I came home after work today instead of going to soccer which was good because Keith said they didn't play till 8 so I wouldn't have wanted to be out that late. So I came home and started playing Soul Reaver 2 which I'm very impressed with. The new environments in the game are really well done. It just looks so much better than the first game. Although the new sound effects are worse I think when it comes to all the enemies. Oh well. I can deal with bad sound for better game play. The enemies are smarter and harder to kill and there's a whole lot more of them too. And they attack in twos most of the time which makes it more challenging. So I'm really pleased with it so far. Although for some reason at the part of the game I'm at now it messed up and wouldn't let me out of the one door and it should because I was stumped for an hour and I looked up a walkthrough and it said I should go out that door. So something went wrong in the game. Oh well. That pisses me off. Damn used copy of the game. So that's all that's happened. I'm out...night
3/11/03
So today wasn't too bad. My days have been alright for this break, but it's back to school tomorrow so things will probably go down hill now. But maybe this is a good sign for summer. Maybe I'll have a lot of fun this summer hanging out with all the guys from North Clarion now. I guess I'll just have to see. So anyways, I woke up this morning to get a shower and head out to Tyler's house. I got there to meet with Keith and Jimmy as well. So we left Tyler's house at about 12:15 and headed up to Erie. We went to the mall and just walked around and shopped in there for awhile. I ended up buying a good number of things. I bought two different PS2 games from the Electronics Boutique. They were Soul Reaver 2 which I wanted a long time ago, but never bought and Twisted Metal Black which I'll probably like since I liked all the other Twisted Metal games that I have played. So that wasn't a bad deal. Both of the games were under $20 so that wasn't bad. Then I went to Pacsun where I used my giftcard from Christmas and bought myself two new pairs of pants. Being that my mom threw my one pair away and some of the other ones are starting to get ragged too, I decided to get some more. So they weren't that expensive for being pants from Pacsun. So I was pleased with my purchases. So after walking around the mall we went around to some of the other places around the mall, then off to Quaker Steak and Lube for all you can eat wings. It wasn't bad at all. I had never been there before and I was pretty pleased with the wings. I ate 45 which is good enough for me. I guess I got my money's worth out of the $10 that it cost. So I had a pretty good time hanging out with those three guys. So maybe we can do it all again sometime. It was a lot of fun. Only next time there should be more women. Maybe...night
3/10/03
The past two days haven't been too bad at all. I've done a lot of stuff I guess. Well maybe not a lot of stuff to others, but in my case, it's a lot of stuff because I hardly ever do anything. Anyways, Sunday I wasn't planning on doing anything. I was just going to work on my scholarship essays and that was about it. Then Nicole said I should come over and in my state of boredom I agreed. So I went there which wasn't too bad. We made sugar cookies and helped her little sister make chocolate chip cookies. It was sort of fun. We made some mess and didn't really know if we made the cookies right, but they came out alright. So that was good. Then for supper we had steak and crab claws which was really good. I haven't had crab meat in such a long time so that was really good even though they didn't taste all that great after they eventually got cold. Oh well, it was good while they were hot. So then we just sat around. I tried to help Nicole with her Physics homework, but I forgot most of the stuff that I had learned before so I wasn't much help. Oh well. So I finally went home around 8:30. When I got there my mom told me to call Keith so I did but no one was home so I made myself some popcorn and watched some tv. Keith called at 9:50 saying that I should come in to go hang out with Devin and Tanner since they were back. Since I hadn't seen Devin in forever I decided I'd go there. So I headed to Keith's where I found out plans were to go driving around in Tanner's car and drink a little bit. Sort of stupid, but we weren't gonna drink that much anyway. Not enough to get us drunk, but enough to get us in trouble if we got caught I guess. So we did that and it turned out to be a pretty good time. We made a big trip around the area. We went to Widnoon then from there to Rimerburg. Then from there to Clarion and back to New Bethlehem. We stopped in Clarion at Walmart to buy some food and walk around. Tanner pussed out and stayed in the car because he was tired. Oh well. So then once we got back to Keith's I just headed on home. So it was a good day on Sunday. Today wasn't that bad either. I got up and messed around on the computer and stuff like I always do. Then I washed the dishes and got online where Tyler told me to come out to his house. So I did that. I went to Clarion first to cash my two checks which was about $200. So that's pretty cool. Then we sat around Tyler's house the rest of the night. We kept messing around with his sister having fun at stuff. We had hamburgers and french fries for supper which was pretty good. Then we just played video games. It was me, Keith, Tyler, Jimmy, Dusty, Andy, and Nichole. So it was a pretty good night. Tomorrow we're headed to Erie and Quaker Steak for some wings, so I'm expecting good things. I've never been there before so I'm hoping it's as good as everyone says it is. I'm sure it is. Well I'm headed out...night
3/08/03
So to catch up some since I haven’t written anything in my journal for a few days, my mom made me a deal that if I cleaned my whole house then I wouldn’t be grounded anymore. So that wasn’t too bad I guess. There was a lot of dirty spots that looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in forever. So I did that, I had to sweep, dust and clean the bathroom. It wasn’t that bad, but it did take some time. Oh well, it got me ungrounded, so I’m pleased with it. But anyways, Thursday I cleaned my church which wasn’t too bad. I had my newly burned Finch CD to listen to so I was pretty content with myself. I finally got all the wax out of the carpet that had been there since Christmas, so I was proud that I finally got around to doing that. So I came home and messed around. Kayla called and wanted me to come out to Clarion, but at this time I was still grounded, so I was left at home to be bored. I talked to Mindy Thursday night/Friday morning and I guess she’s up here this weekend, so that’s pretty cool. She’s always been a really good friend to me even when she doesn’t live up here. So anyways, I gave her my number to call today, Saturday. So if she calls or not, I don’t know, but hopefully she does because I haven’t seen her in a long time, and I’d like to hang out with her if possible. At least she said she wanted to see me the most out of everyone, I think?? I’m pretty sure she said that. So I’ll have to wait around and see. So last night I went bowling with Duhnke, Jeffers, Phil, and Byers which wasn’t too bad. Jeffers and I were supposed to go to the movies, but we went bowling instead. Nicole and Jo were there when we got there so they stayed till about 10:30. So on the way home we kept trying to call Dilila or however you spell her name, the lady on the radio, because we wanted to hear Lady In Red, but regrettably we couldn’t get through. So after that we finally made it back to Duhnke’s house were we stood around my car trying to make plans for today. They kept telling me to bring women even though I don’t know any. It really sux beause they keep insisting that I know a lot of women when I really don’t know too many at all. So we pretty much got nothing figured out other than Duhnke said to call at 3. So it looks like I’ll end up doing 1 of 4 things: going to hang out with Mindy, hanging out with Keith and whoever else comes along, hanging out at Duhnke’s or sitting at home. I’ll prolly end up doing that last of those choices because I’ll sit around waiting for Mindy to call and she won’t and then by the time I realize she isn’t calling it’ll be too late to do anything. Oh well, I’ll wait and see…later.
3/05/03
So last night was something a little different than usual. I ended up going to the movies with Rob, Phil, Tim, and Luke. We watched Old School again, and it was still funny the second time around. So that wasn’t bad. After the movie we went to Eat n Park and I had my big waffle again although I didn’t eat it all this time because I had already had supper. So I was pretty full then. Then Rob suggested going to Postlewait’s apartment to see if we could drink. I wasn’t planning on staying out so I didn’t call home then because it was pretty late. So because of that I’m grounded now which really sux. So anyways, we drank and had a pretty good time for the most part. Through the middle of the night I got sick and puked outside. Puking isn’t much fun, but oh well. It happens. I need to stop drinking for awhile I think. I’ve been drinking fairly regularly and I don’t like that too much. So I think I’ll be a sober boy for awhile. So anyways, it was funny while I was puking because these guys came out of another apartment there, and they were like cheering and shouting at me. So that was pretty funny. So the day today really sucked because I felt sick all day long. I hate it when I puke the night before because I know I’ll be feeling sick to my stomach all the rest of the next day. Oh well, I dealt with it. A good warm shower helps some, so I spent a good amount of time in there. Other than that I sat around in my room being lazy and tired. I think I’ll sleep pretty good tonight. Maybe. I’m not sure because my stomach is still a little uneasy. Guess I’ll see…night
3/03/03
So yesterday Nicole came over for turkey dinner. We had it because it was my brother's birthday. It was a pretty good meal. At least for me anyway. I was pretty full by the time it was done. So then the rest of the day Nicole and I pretty much sat around watching tv and resting because turkey makes you tired. Damn turkey. So we watched golf mostly, played pool, made supper and some popcorn too. So that was that. Not too exciting of a day, but it was something. Today was pretty boring. The start of this long vacation, well long enough I guess. I pretty much sat around all day playing PS2 and watching tv or messing around on the computer. The only productive thing I did all day was work on my program for my programming class. It took me awhile, but then again that was probably because I was talking to Tyler on ICQ, so it was a little hard to concetrate on writing up a program and talking to people at the same time. Nevertheless, I got the write up of it done, so it should be pretty easy to put it up onto VMS. Other than that I wasted my day away. Rob called tonight around 9 which was odd because I didn't think they'd call that late. Oh well. I guess I'm missing out on some fun because him, Phil, Gerald and I think someone else was heading up to Postelwaites apartment. Oh well, he said he'd call tomorrow at 2 to tell me if anything will be going on so that's not that bad. Well other than that I have nothing left to say...night
3/01/03
So last night I ended up going to K-mart after I was done with work. I bought two different DVD's. One was Blow and the other was Half Backed. After that, I headed out to Nicole's house where I spent the rest of my night. We just sat around watching those movies and stuff. So it wasn't too bad of a night. It wasn't the most exciting time, but it was something to do. I lost track of time during the night and when I looked again it was 1 in the morning. So I headed home and got there about a quarter till 2. So that sort of sucked, but I guess I got to sleep pretty easy since I was so tired. So today was really boring as well. I spent most of the day just mopping around the house with nothing to do. I went and cleaned the church, and when I got home, I had a message that said Rob had called. So I called him and he wanted Jeffers number at school, but I didn't know it. I just gave him his cell phone number instead. Also, he said he'd give me a call Monday to let me know if anything would be going on during break, so that's pretty cool. Hopefully something comes up because I don't want to be sitting around all week. So anyways, Dusty is working on some stuff for the site so that's really cool of him. I'm sure it'll be pretty good since he likes to do this stuff so much. Yeah, my day sucked...night
