It's been awhile...
To all my fans, I apologize. I have been really out of it lately, mainly due to the painkillers I am taking because of my kidney stones. I have a procedure scheduled on Friday, May 7th to get them blasted with sound waves. I am a little worried because I actually have to be put under for this procedure. I can barely remember the last time I was put under. It was a long time ago.
But anyway, I had a blast this past weekend. I went to Vixens with Pat and Howie. We saw a feature dancer. We all bought cheap autographed porn. I paid 10 dollars for a Polaroid of me and the feature dancer. It was lots of fun.
That is about all that happened. I haven't done much. I am going to wrap this up because I am getting pretty damn loopy.

Cause I'm Cool Like That...
I went to the hospital again last night. Damn Kidney Stones. It looks like I have two in my left kidney. The ER doctor said that the size of the first stone may require that something be done to it. This scares me a little bit. Okay, maybe a whole lot. Even through all this pain, I am happy that I went up to Frostburg to secure references for that admissions counseling position. I am going to try to get the stuff required for that position finished and sent out by tomorrow. I really want to get this job. It is the first job I have even been excited about just applying for. I want to get excited, but I also want to temper that excitement because I do not even know if I will get the Job. I am also excited going up to Frostburg again on Friday for the artshow. I am also happy that I do not have to go alone, Christa is hopefully still going with me. At least we arranged a meeting on Friday. I am generally happy, but it could just be the painkillers. Time to try to get some sleep.

"I'm a loser baby. So why don't you kill me?"
I realize that I have esteem issues. Sometimes I get into deep deep funks that last for months. But a conversation with Barron last night made me realize that maybe I have left more of a mark on the world and the people in it than I normally think that I have. Maybe even if I can't see what I have done, other people can. Maybe my fat worthless being isn't so worthless after all. Maybe I just want to see myself as a loser so I am not disappointed when I fail. A whole lot of maybes. But all I know is that the conversation with Barron made me reevaluate something in my life. I just hope that whatever happens, I am not forgotten in this imperfect world.

The Recent Adventures of Unemployed Man
Today's title comes from the fact that even though I am technically employed by the WCBOE, I still feel as if I have no job. But anyhoo, on to the adventures. Monday night saw me in the La Vale/Frostburg area. I went to see Jersey Girl with Jenn. Then we went up to the 'Burg and hung out at the Outback Lounge with Krista and Andy. Yesterday, I again went up to Cumberland. Megan, Krista, Jenn, and I hung out at the bar where Andy works. The result of all this running around was two really great nights out spent in the best of company.
Today, I had to take some stuff to my Mom at the church where she works. When I got there, she asked me to go to McDonald's for some of those Dog toys for her kids. I went and got nine. I then dropped them off. My mother asked me to then go to another McDonald's and get different Dog toys. So I did. I really don't mind all this running. At least it gives me something to do.
Now I think I am going to go sit outside in the lovely weather and read. I also need to think about when next I am going up to Frostburg to secure reference information for the Admissions Counselor position. It will probably be early next week. Tracking down professors on Friday can get difficult. So most likely Monday.
I also have to mention the quote for this post. I had never seen Godzilla 2000, and last night when I got home, I caught the tail end of it. That quote just leaped up and set me laughing. It still just brings a big smile to my face. Now, it is reading time.

To Old Friends
This week saw me get back in touch with my friend and former neighbor, Jeremy Barron. I hadn't heard from him in a long while. Seems he is happy with his wife, Sarah, and his two kids, Ian and Sophie. (Please forgive me if I spelled any of their names wrong) Anyway, it was great hearing from him again. Brings back great memories of the old days at good ol' FSU. Days of pointless conversations in the lounge until 4 am or later. Days of furious anger at the stupidity of people. Development of "Oh my God, it is dark. Time to eat." and the lower 50% theories. Injuries resulting from untrained Zekes attempting belly-to-belly suplexes (I am still sorry about that one). Fucking great times. Probably some of the best. But now Barron is in Tucson, working for the Air Force. His life is very different from the old days. It feels like mine hasn't changed. Except in one sad way. It being Easter, I feel I should have gone to my Granny's house for lunch, as every major holiday finds me. But lunch at my Uncle Dale's house just didn't cut it. This holiday has driven home even further the fact that she is gone from this life. I am glad it is rainy and overcast, at least the weather matches my mood.

Birthday Celebration #2
My birthday came and went in a haze of painkillers. The adventure I had planned got postponed until I can truly enjoy it. But it will happen. OH YES, it will!
Tonight, Jenn came back down and we watched The Rundown. I wanted to see this movie mainly because I find Christopher Walken hilarious. I was not disappointed in this aspect of the film. The great suprise came to me when I realized Sven Ole-Thorson was in it. He didn't have a speaking roll, but I love seeing him in movies. I also realized that my mother needs to get out more. She took Jenn and I to Blockbuster to rent movies Wednesday night. She walked around the store saying how exciting this is. Goddamn. She needs to experience more things. On the gift front, I received a LOTR Trivia game, a really nice notebook, and some money from my mom to make the postponed adventure all the more fun. I almost forgot to mention the kickass Simpson's hat that Krista and Andy gave me. A pretty low key b-day, but spent in a very great way.

Birthday Celebration #1
This past weekend I was up in Frostburg for a Birthday Bash. My friend Megan turned 22 on the 1st. So Thursday saw me escorting her and Krista to the Baltimore Street Grill. I did not drink that night but instead just basked in the glory of being with great friends. However, Friday night saw me lit up like the sun. Megan and I decided to do a joint celebration thing that night. Tony and Sasha appeared, bringing with them an Irish woman named Michelle. Colleen, having turned 21 in November and being up to visit Sarah, came out with Megan, Krista, and I as well. After many, many Long Island Iced Teas I left the bar with Michelle and Krista at closing time. Tony and Sasha went to go get donuts at Lorenzo's, very comparable to Krumpe's. When my two lady companions and I arrived at the dorm, I decided it was needed that I protect the Gong of the dorm in which I used to live. I have no idea how long I did this. But at some point the night turned ugly for me. I remember once again flipping over the picnic table and possibly crying several different times. All in all, it seemed like a typical weekend from the old days.
Birthday Celebration #2 will occur on the 7th, my actual birthday. I will have to let all my faithful readers know how that goes. But as my birthday approaches, I realize that I dread it. I do not want to be 25. This will be the first birthday I have had since my graduation. I am not really upset that I am not where I want to be right now, but that I do not have anyplace I want to be. I never really had a plan for after graduation. That seems like what is really getting to me. Ah well. I will get over it. I always do.
