Boy, I don't know about you guys, but the Wartburg Library is DEAD on a sat. afternoon. Yup, I'm working yet another weekend here. It really stinks because I am bored ou of my mind. I suppose I could do some homework, but I REALLY don't wanna. Plus, I have most of it done anyway. I think I may just procrastinate a little bit longer. So I'm at work and at the downstairs info desk. There is literally nobody else on this floor right now. I figured that it would be aiight to do a post on one of the computers 'cause we can't go online on the official library computers. meh. It usually doesn't bother me to be bored, but right now I'm going insane. Like I don't even know what I';m ryping right now.....I'm just, as Dr. Scholtz says "puking on a page." Meaning I'm just typing whatever....just to be typing. and theres my supervisor....

I just had one of the greatest nights ever, here at Wartburg. It all began at about 6pm this evening when Punkrocker Joe asked me if I wanted to help him with his Art Project. Having absolutely nothing else to do, I agreed. So the project was to take something outside, in nature and then change it with stuff surrounding the area. So we went down to the river and collected sticks and stuff and walked around trying to find a cool place to do this. About 45 minutes later and a ton of walking, we found this super secluted area down on the riverbank. So we did the project and he took pictures of it. As we were walking back from this place and taking some silly pics, we stumbled across a fire pit. hmmmmm.....we thought......we should have a bonfire here one night. Once back to the dorm, it all started to come together. So four of us went down to there with firewood, matches, an ax, a saw, a fire starter, and some food. By this time it was 9pm and pitch black. The fire pit was literally in the middle of nowhere....deep in the woods, but off an old path. It was like straight out of scary movie.....the four of us stumbling around in the dark trying to find this place. Obviously we found it, but not before nearly dying in a sink hole. Literally. Punkrocker Joe sank in up to his hip......it was crazy! So we dug a hole in the sand to make it safe and stuff and got the fire going. It was really slow at first, but was a solid fire and super hot after a while. Two of Punkrocker Joe's friends stopped by for a while and then left. And then Joe's girlfriend came.....and then two more of our friends. Joe lives in Waverly, by the way, so he knows the ropes. So then we spent the night doing misc. stuff around this area and chopping down trees and eating hotdogs and.........just fun stuff. Sweetness. But man, I'm tired! So now I'm just gonna go to bed........this weekend is huge, with tomorrow just having a lot going on and Sunday I'm hopefully going to see Punkrocker Joe perform along with "Beloved"........if you know that group. Alright, I gotta wakeup early for work tomorrow (noon). peace out.

tonight was a very interesting night. I cleaned out my desk and packed random stuff. Then I went on Beastie Mania and learned somemore about the beastie boys. This website then caused me to go on to amazon and search for beastie boys videos. Yea I ended up buying two VHS tapes. The music videos from the very first album and the Sabatoge VHS. The good thing was, though, they were really cheap. Both tapes together cost about 15 bucks---->thats including shipping and handling! Amazing, I know. After that, I talked to suz online for a good 1.5 to 2 hours..........interesting.......very interesting...........anyway. That was my night. Unfortunately for me, I didn't study and I have a test tomorrow at 11. Yikes! I better just go to bed, huh!

some of you may know (actually very few of you know this) that my hips are bad. Not like they are ugly or fat or whatever. The actual bone-structure is bad. Meaning they get sore easily and will wear out fast. If they hadn't been "fixed" when I was really young, I would have needed an artifical hip by the time I was 30. Now I put fixed in quotation marks because they still aren't the greatest. If I sit cross-leged for even 5 minutes, it takes a good 20 minutes before I can walk normal again. So today I was at the library, working as usual, when I stood up weird and twisted in a strange way.....thus somehow agrivating my left hip. Ever since then I have had an excrutiating pain whenever I stand, sit in a certain way, and especially walk. For a while it went a way, but now, for whatever reason, it has returned. It's like I can actually feel my hip joint grinding against the bone. I can barely walk and I have to hold my lower back.......it makes me look and feel like I'm 75. ugh.

Biggest mistake ever: giving a 1st trombone part to a trombone player that deserves 2nd trombone at best. Thats what I did. In the May term band it's me, my roommate, the concert band director (his main instrument is trombone) and a girl who is playing only to reinforce what she learned in methods class. So I'm playing all the first, except for that one song, my roommate plays second....except for that one song.....and the director and the girl play 3rd. The director is an awesome trombonist, but the only reason he's playing is to help out the girl and make the 3rd trombone part stronger. So on the first day of band, my roommate was like "we'll just share the 1st and 2nd part" I REALLY wanted to say "uhhhhh no." But I just quietly took the 1st parts and gave him the second parts. See, he isn't very good, but he's older than me. So I felt kinda bad and let him play 1st on an easy song. Big mistake. In this song, the trombones play a lot of whole notes and half notes thus making a bunch of important underlying cords. The first trombone part fulfills the 7th of the cord. So it's cool when he plays the right notes..........and not so cool when he plays the wrong ones, which is most of the time............so everyday I kick myself for giving him the part......................anyway...............I just needed to vent, 'cause I couldn't really say that to anybody in band, for obvious reasons.........

Well, it's decided. I've sold my soul to the devil and I'm working at S.A. for another summer. I must say, I was fighting it as much as possible, but I guess it's the right thing to do. The manager and assistant manager like me there and are going to try and give me 40 hours a week. Plus, it looks like I will be working mainly 3-11 shifts....which is my favorite shift. Otherwise I gotta wake up at 6 and work at 7. *PUKE* That other job I was considering doesnt' really gauruntee hours, apparently, and I can't work at a job like that. Especially with Wartburg's tuition increasing. I guess I should be happy that I have a steady job waiting for me when I get home. Anyway, I will be starting that job June 2nd. Which gives me roughly a week to get unpacked, organize my room again, and hang out with all you friends from LHS. Then it's back to the grind......at least the girl my age is still working there........and thats about it.

Man it's been a long time before I have listened to the beastie boys! It's good to be back....and that's all I can say about it.....it's good to be back....

Boy I don't know....I never have listened to "Something Corporate" before, so I cannot tell ya what this means....but I thought I would try it out.

According to the Which Something Corporate Song Are You? Test...

I am SOOOO SICK of my roommate right now. I seriously wish he was gone for may term. He is getting on my nerves like none other...........and his feet smell REALLY bad. argh.......my word. So....during the summer I'm pretty sure that I am not going to update this during the summer time. You think I should drop it all together, keep it going during the summer, or drop it for the summer but pick it back up for next year. I'm lookin for input here peeps. Shoot me an email at the address below. ---v peace.
