WEEZER

Currently i am working as the asst. manager at a music store in the wonderful times square mall of mt. vernon...one of the perks of working in a music store is getting a hold of music before the masses...weezer comes out with a new cd on tuesday and i got a hold of one early, and its everything thing that i thought that it could be.

So il

looks like courtney and i will officially be staying in so. IL for a little while, she finally got accepted into the graduate program at SIUC. On another note, in case you (if anybody actually reads this) notice, this is two blogs in the same day...that is unheard of for me, the only way that happens is when I go work and vomit in the trash-can...i think i'm sick

i am an idiot

i did the stupidest thing last week...i ordered some books off of amazon, something i haven't done in a year. anyway, i was so excited about getting my books that i did not realize that the shipping address was wrong. i accidentaly had the books shipped to LCC. i emailed amazon a couple of hours later and they immediately emailed me back and said "you're screwed." luckily i still know some people in lincoln who are actually responsible (anthony) and can be counted on. so i received my books this week and i am excited. thank you anthony for allowing me to do stupid things.

i am so confused

just when i thought things were looking real bad...something unexpected happens (something that seems too good to be true) and things start to look up again...i really am not enjoying this emotinal roller-coaster that i have been on lately, but i guess that emotion (good or bad) is better than none at all. i'll know more about this opportunity later this week.

what the f%$#

The past couple of months have been a waiting period between one transition in my life, to the next. Today we were faced with an awesome opportunity and almost simultaneously it was taken away...not only was it taken away, but we are actually skrewed because of this non-opportunity. I don't know what to do. I feel lost and helpless. This day has really sucked--but after sitting here feeling sorry for myself (and for my wife) i have realized that i am not the main character in this story. Maybe later i'll be able to sit back and see how selfish i have become with my life and my problems...maybe i'll be able to realize (cliche' and all) that it's not about me. I am ashamed for being so selfish.

My apologies

I realized today why i read blogs...to stay in touch with people, to see what is going on in their lives...i also realized that i have not been fair in doing this because i have not let others see what is going on in my life, and for that--i am sorry.

2nd place

i was at work today from 12-9:15 just waiting to get home and see illinois beat north carolina, but contrary to what i was hoping for we ended up getting second...which isn't all that bad, but it's not the end that i wanted to see.

the second place finish makes two of my favorite teams in a row that have made it down to the end of the season and choked (go cardinals).
