So this will be my last entry for a while, or until something of actual importance happens in my life. I’m becoming tired of writing these pointless entries on here for no reason. No one reads them, and so I feel that there’s no use to even do it anymore. As well, I’m not going to be on ICQ or AOL very often anymore. I spend too much time on there and for what, I don’t really talk to anyone on there anyways. So I’ll be only getting online few and far between. Maybe I can do something productive since I won’t be on there much anymore. Instead of wasting my time looking for someone to talk to, I can actually be doing something worth while. So I guess if anyone wants to talk to me, they can call, 473-6457, or if they want to get a hold of me they can drop me an email. I’m starting to hate the internet anyway. It never gets me anymore, it only takes away my time and leaves me with nothing to show for it. I don’t put it to good use, so there’s no point in being there anyways. So you can check back here, but when my next entry will be, I have no clue. Like I said, only if something important happens, which never happens really. So that means, no entries for a long time…goodbye

I can't quite remember what happened Thursday if anything, so I'm assuming nothing super important happened, so no details there. Hmmm Friday's classes were pretty easy. I only had my logic class for like 10 minutes because the prof. wasn't feeling too well, so he went over our test and I think I got a 100% from what he showed on the board, hopefully. So it was a fairly boring day there, and work wasn't much better. It was pretty boring there and I had to stay late while everyone else left which wasn't much fun, but I didn't do anything so I guess it wasn't bad. So then I headed off to Meadville to see Ashley. So once I got there we pretty much headed off to eat at Applebee's which wasn't bad. I had some spicy ranch chicken sandwich which I enjoyed. So it was a good meal, plus some food from Ashley's plate that she couldn't eat which was good as well. So then we went back to her room and she headed off to a meeting for her one class while I stayed there with her roommates. Eventually she came back and we got ready to go to a Dance party at the one frat house. It was a pretty good time I think. I had a good time at least. It started off a little slow, but eventually I got to dancing and had a good time. Ashley didn't seem to be completely content, but I don't think she had a bad time. And that was the night pretty much. We came back to her room and slept. So I was happy with that. I had a really good time. Today wasn't as great. We eventually got out of bed around noon. I had some animal crackers and easy-mac for lunch, then headed off for a tour of the campus with Ashley. It wasn't the best time, but it was alright. Then we came back, and I just laid on the floor while Ashley and Jess talked. I left around 3:30 and called my mom to find out they weren't having a good supper, so I stopped at McDonald's in Cranberry and had my supper and called Tyler to see if anything was going on but didn't get an answer, so I ended up coming home and laying around. I found that when I got home I was really tired, and I'm not sure why. I wasn't earlier, so it was surprising. Anyways, I watched Sleeping Beauty on ABC which wasn't bad. So not too great of a day. Miss her already. It sux, but what can I do...night
10/22/03
Not too much seems to be going my way, or at least it seems that way in the past few days. Well other than school I suppose has been going well. It doesn't make me feel any better though. Monday wasn't too productive. I received help on my data structures program from Dr. Childs in the morning. I took my final practice test in Logic which wasn't too bad. And that was Monday pretty much. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. So just for an overview. This is getting stupid. I found out that the intramural game was actually Monday and not Wednesday I was previously informed, so I missed out on it which sucked. I wasn't happy, but oh well, I guess there's no reason to play the final game when I hadn't been there any other game. So I finished up my program after much trial and error, but I felt good once I got it to work correctly. I had my eye doctors appointment which I hate. I hate the eye doctor and how he screws with my eyes and sprays all kinds of stuff in them and puts drops in them and puts things really close to them. And plus it's like taking a test when he asks you all the questions like, is one better or two, one or two. Come on, choose. You choose one, wrong, the right answer is two. Start over from the beginning till you get it right. Yeah, the eye doctor sux. So once I got out of there I ate Chinese which was good since I hadn't eaten it for a long time. And then off to get my haircut short again. I don't like it short much, but it starts to look crappy after it gets so long. I need the happy medium. Today I took my logic test which was easy and I got my Earth Science test back to see I got a 96%. I also finished up my program for Assembly which is good as well. I don't know what else. Nothing I suppose...night
10/19/03
I don't know why I'm doing this now because I don't really feel like it, but I might as well do it to keep everyone updated if they wanted to know anything. I just came home Friday night and was pretty much by myself until around 9 because my mom and brother went to the football game, my dad was hunting, and my other brother was on a trip with his g/f, so I pretty much sat around, not doing homework like I should have been doing, and watched tv and messed around on the net. I attempted to do my program, but I ran into problems, so back to asking my Prof for help. I wish he would just explain things in class so I wouldn't have to do this. It'd be much better. Oh well, I'm pretty much getting sick of it, so I can't wait for this class to be over with at the end of the semester. So yeah, I guess Friday night wasn't all that great either. I just wasn't too happy, so it really sucked actually. I would have rather just gone to bed early, but I stayed up till 3. Bad news regardless. I woke up at 10 and got around to find out what was going on for the day. Keith called and said he was driving to Tyler's by himself so that gave me time to sit aroudn some more. Eventually I left to clean my church then headed to Butler. I didn't have too bad of a time there. I think it could have been better, but it was something and so I was happy enough with it. We did go to the mall at my saying so and I finally got my Sigur Ros cd so I was pleased. It's really good too, so I'm happy with it. Then we went and got a pizza and back to the apartment. Drank a few and played cards and video games. Eventually I went to bed around 2-2:30. I woke up at 10:15 and just went home because I had to be home for dinner. So finished up my french then and started to study for my earth science test. I attempted to look at my program again, but I got nowhere with it. It's really dissappointing for me to not be able to do it, very frustrating as well. Like I said, can't wait for this class to be over. So that's about all I did today. I didn't have much energy, so I wasn't planning on doing anything anyways. In other news my brother is now engaged, so I guess that's something completely new to me. I'm not that excited, but it's something I guess. But yeah, I'm really running low on energy and motivation. I need a spark of something to light my fire. I'm hoping for it soon...night
10/16/03
I don't have much to recount over the past two days, although a few things have happened. I guess mostly tonight. So instead of telling everything boring that happened I'll just say about the two soccer games that occured tonight. I left around 3:15 and got there to find that the team had bought all the coaches shirts which was pretty cool. It's a red polo that says Redbank Soccer on it, so I was pleased with that. We played the crappy Karns City team tonight and beat them 9-0. Afterwards, we headed to Joe's for pizza since that was our last game of the season. So it was a pretty good time I suppose. I headed back up to the school after I was done there to watch the varsity game against Karns City which turned out to be really bad. We lost 3-2, but it was a load of shit when Karns City got a PK with 5 minutes left. It was on a horrible call. Actually it happened on a corner kick before the ball was even kicked which means that they can't call a PK which they did anyway. So I pretty much flipped out and started yelling at the refs. The bad part was that the same thing happened to us. The kid from there team got a yellow card for it but there was no PK. So that pissed me off even more. After the game I bitched them out again as they were leaving and followed them into the parking lot bitching at them the whole way. So yeah, I wasn't a very happy kid. It's especially bad since I hate Karns City so much. So it wasn't a good thing. So yeah, that was my night. Interesting I suppose, but not very much fun when it comes down to it. Well I'm done...night
10/14/03
Interesting I suppose. Sunday was really crappy. I spent most of the time stressing over things that didn't need to be stressed about and others that I guess I should have, at least I think so. So yeah, I spent most of the day inside although I did go play soccer at 5 with a bunch of the guys which wasn't too bad although now I'm sore and my knee is hurt a little bit. I'll live though. It was fun regardless and took my mind off of things while I was there. So I guess that's a good thing. So anyways, the day passed and Monday came which started off bad because I was tired from a small amount of sleep and didn't feel like doing anything. I worked till 9:30 and then went to see my one proffesor about my program and it turns out I was missing one little line of code, an include statement for a library, so all my stressing over that was pretty pointless. Damn it all. So I went back to work. We took our first practice test for this section in logic and I did well. I didn't have to use my book at all, so that was good. Hmmm, not sure what else. I was just waiting for school to be over. So when I had my final class I went to my car to get my logic book to memorize the proof formulas then headed to the library to study. I turned my phone on on the way there and got a voice mail from Ashley saying she got off work at 2 instead of 6, so I called her and headed to her house for the night. I had a really good time. I had a damn good meal cooked just the way I like it, very delicious. Then we sat around the table listening to her brother read which was funny, well the story was funny, not him reading. Well a few parts were. But it was really enjoyable, a nice family atmosphere which seems almost nonexistant in my life, or at least not too often. Meals are usually eat and you're gone at my house, so it was nice to have that again. So after dinner we sat around watching tv and talking and such. We had planned to go get ice cream, but that never happened for some reason. I'm not sure why. Oh well, so I headed home and went to bed. I set my alarm because I felt that I needed to get up instead of sleeping till noon, so I set it to 9 then woke up and set it to 10 for that extra hour. I got up and wrote my assembly program which was very easy. It took me like 20 minutes. Then I sat around. So there was no real reason to get up early, but nothing bad came from it. I left my house at 1:30 to go cash a check in town, get lunch from Subway, and then catch the jr. high bus to DuBois for a soccer game. We won 5-0 although it was cold and windy. I got some studying done on the bus, so it wasn't bad. Only one more game left there and it's on Thursday. So I won't have that taking up any time, although it didn't really take up much time to begin with. And now I'm here, finishing up my french and writing this. I'm feeling good I suppose. A few things are lingering in my mind, but that's life. It wouldn't be the same without those small things to keep me thinking...night
10/12/03
I don't really want to write this, but I'm going to anyways because I need to get my mind elsewhere right now. Thursday wasn't much fun. It was spent mostly hoping for the weekend to come. So nothing there. Friday I after work, I headed to the movie theatre and watched House of the Dead which wasn't too great at all. I was the only one in the theatre and it was the first day the movie was out, so it doesn't look like it will be doing to great. Oh well, so I headed from there and went to Wal-mart where I bought the new Saves the Day CD and Old School DVD. The Saves the Day cd is different I suppose. It doesn't really sound like their other stuff, so I don't know what to think of it exactly. I guess I like it, but it's not my favorite cd that I've ever bought. So then Ashley came and met me there where we bought her brother's birthday presents. Then off to Eat'n park for a pretty good meal. Back to her house to watch Old School and then home. I cleaned the church Saturday morning then lounged around the rest of the day till I headed out to Ashley's where we sat around the fire with some of her family for the good part of the night. It was a pretty good time. I was happy. So Friday and Saturday were good days and now Sunday which is causing my problems. I'm working on a program and I can't make it work correctly so I'm confused and frustrated, so I pretty much gave up on it. Damn things that I can't get right. So I'm going now...later
10/08/03
I'm behind schedule on my entries, well not that I really have a schedule to keep up. So I guess I'm not really behind schedule, just not the every other day update like usual I suppose. Not that it matters, so I'll stop rambling now. Well that's usually what I do best on these entries so I guess I shouldn't. Yes. So anyways, what's there to report. Hmmm, not too much to tell the truth. The past few days have been very quiet in my life. Monday was very boring and nothing much happened other than I rocked in Logic class for a change. Hmmm, I'm not sure what else really. Nothing I suppose. I slept for 11 hours Monday night so I was fully refreshed after a weekend of very little sleep. So what did I get done. I cleaned my car. That's very impressive since I only cleaned my previous car 2 times when I had it. So it kept me busy I guess. Hmmm, jr. high practice was boring and the night wasn't too much of something to be greatful for. I did my studying for my Data Structures class. Then Ashley called and I talked to her for the remainder of the night. I got yelled at for it in the morning by my mother for talking on the phone too long and for being to loud. Oh well, that's too damn bad. I enjoyed myself and that's what should matter right?? Yes, right. So I don't really care. Hmmm, so today was fairly easy, but it seems that this week will never end. It's been so long already and it's only Wednesday. That's a bad sign. Also, I got a 14/20 on my Data Structures assignment which pissed me off. Stupid asshole teacher doesn't realize that the way I programmed it works just fine compared to the way he thinks it should have been. I miss 6 bloody points for using an if statement instead of including it in the while statement. So what, it works the same way regardless. It's such bullshit but there's nothing I can do about it now. The test was fairly easy. All essay, so I should have done well. More boring times in French and Earth Science. It's weird though. Well maybe not weird, good I suppose, but probably not very effective when it comes to me learning and paying attention in class. I seems that I completely zone out form lectures and start thinking about Ashley. Although this is a good, it's bad as well. I guess it's not so bad in Earth Science or French. I can do fine in those. So I guess I'll enjoy it for what it is. So yes, I was going to play soccer tonight, but when I showed up, I saw no one, so I just went home. What a bust. I was really dissappointed. With my luck though, everyone showed up late and they did play and I didn't wait long enough. Oh well, I hate waiting for long periods of time. So I searched Walmart and K-Mart for my Sigur Ros cd but still didn't find it. I think Keith is a liar. I spent 20 minutes scouring the cd shelves at Walmart and came up emptyhanded. I was dissappointed then as well. I really want that cd. Oh well, I'll have to wait I guess. So I just want school to be over so bad. I think we're almost half way through the semester. I hope so. I'm tired of Clarion already. Man that was fast...night
10/05/03
So I thought I’d write again since I feel like doing so. I recently realized that I had eaten chicken wings for the past 3 days in a row for supper. Thursday I ate wings at Chippers in Meadville, Friday I ate wings from the Quaker Steak and Lube stand and I did the same on Saturday evening as well. I think I’ve had my share of wings for the time being. I changed that up tonight when I had my hotdogs. So it was a good change I suppose. So anyways, I woke up Saturday morning sometime after 11 and realized that if I wanted to go the parade I should get up and going since it started at 12. So I got up and attempted to find out who was actually going, but I didn’t get too many answers. I only knew of Ashley for sure so I decided I would go up and see what would happen. Once I got there I walked up and was stopped by Nicole and Tyler who were at the Gulf Station on main street. I talked to them for a short while and then eventually headed up to where Ashley and here family were sitting, but being that there were people behind them I couldn’t really get in to say hi. So I stood there and eventually Keith showed up. So I talked to him till I could say hi. So Keith left and she did too eventually so I headed back up to the Gulf station and hung out with Keith, Tyler, and Nicole. I’m not really sure how long we were there, but I used my time wisely and set a new record on my cell phone for snake. So anyways, I went and got my car and brought it back to get gas then headed off to the mall with Keith, Tyler, and some girl, can’t remember her name. So more standing around with no idea of what to do. I think it was around 4 when we headed back up to ALF and got food and what not. Keith had to get to the Roadhouse for dinner with his parents, so we took him there and Tyler and I headed back to his house. We got the idea to go bowling so we called around and got a few people together. In the end it was Tyler, Ashley, Keith, Andy, Ben, two girls with them and me. It wasn’t too bad of a time. We were done at 10:30 so it was pretty early when everyone headed out. Keith and Tyler went back to Tyler’s house and Ashley and I headed back to her house which wasn’t bad. She slept most of the time like usual. Oh well, it was still enjoyable. And on a side note, Half Baked has the answer to every problem you can think of, and that’s the truth…night
10/03/03
And I'm sitting here at Allegheny College in Ashley's dorm room while she's off getting educated. So I was studying for a short while for my Data Structures test. I just went over my chpt. 2 stuff which didn't take long because the only thing from that that we need to know is Classes and I have those down prett well. So I'm now updating this since I don't feel like doing any studying in chpt 4 just yet. My test isn't till Wednesday anyway, so I have lots of time to study. So it shouldn't be too bad of a test. There's no programming he said. Well maybe a small Class implementation, but nothing major. The rest is all short answer which should be really easy. So anyways, before I headed up here yesterday, I went and cleaned my church. While I was there, I was startled by some guy who came in to check the fire extinguishers. I had my headphones on so I couldn't hear anything and when I turned around there he was. So that got my heart going which wasn't too fun but oh well. So I came home and got all my stuff ready. I was contemplating on whether or not to call the school to tell them I wouldn't be there for jr. high practice but I was none too worried. Besides, when I headed out for Meadville it was hailing so I just figured it would be cancelled anyway. So the trip here was fairly easy. I didn't get lost which was good. So I'm proud of myself. So shortly after I got here, we headed out to eat at a place called Chippers for wings. It wasn't too bad, and yes I thought it was good enough for me. So you shouldn't tell me different. I saw Twan while I was there who was there with Stephanie. I didn't really say hi, just waved down to him. So then we just came back here and watched tv. We also watched The Ring which was a very boring and un-scary movie. So I was pretty dissappointed with it since a lot of people said it was scary. I should have just believed Keith and Tyler when they said it was stupid. The night was a little rough. It was really hot in the bunk bed so it made it sort of uncomfortable to sleep. I'm not sure if I even did get to sleep. I can't really remember falling asleep, at least not till Ashley woke up in the morning. So yeah. I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing today. I'm heading back after she gets back from class and I don't know. I'll prolly stop at ALF for awhile and maybe call around to see if anyone is doing anything. If not then I'll just end up at home bored. Oh well, I had a good time yesterday and last night, so it will more than make up for it. Well I'm headed...later
10/01/03
Once again it's a new month and it looks, just looks though, right now that it's going to start off pretty good. I may eat my words soon, but I can always look forward to something right. So yeah, the past weekend wasn't all that great. There were a few things that kept sticking in my mind, but as of now, it seems to be all cleared so that has made me feel a lot better. So I'm happy. I'm not really sure what the weekend holds, but I have a feeling that it's going to be a good one. I usually feel the opposite way, but for some odd reason, I'm not feeling that at all. Hopefully my thoughts play out into the real world. So anyways, I finished up my classes today for the weekend. It's ALF weekend so there's no class on Friday and since I never have class on Thursday's I have a 4 day weekend. How nice is that man?? I couldn't wait to get out of there today. So anyways, plans for tomorrow?? I'm not sure. I'm hoping that I can have a good time and things work out, but I don't know. Maybe not. I hope I'm wrong though. There's a chance that I'm going up to Allegheny tomorrow and staying, but nothing is really planned out so I'm skeptical to say the least. It's alright though. I can still have a good weekend even if that doesn't happen. A guy can dream though eh?? So yeah, regardless of that, I have to go clean my church sometime tomorrw which will probably be tomorrow morning so I can get it out of the way. If I don't go see Ashley, then I'll just stay home I guess and go to soccer practice. So it won't be a fun time, but it's oh k. I don't know. But like I said, I'm hoping for good times to be around the next 3 or 4 days. We'll see. Oh yeah, we won our game yesterday 1-0 so that's a good thing. Ummm, I went to the Clarion vs. Redbank game on Monday. Hmmm, I can't say I was too pleased with it, but I never enjoyed girls highschool soccer. Oh well. Good enough for now...night
