ok, so you all have read about my sleeping 12 hours a night and all that.  well, i decided to give up trying to control my sleeping pattern, and let my own body decide when it was ready.  And, i am really happy with it.  I have been going to bed at 5 am, 10 am, sometimes 2 pm.  and getting about 5 hours of sleep.  and honestly, i feel great.  i am getting stuff done, and i am still happy.  so far, i have had no side effects besides a few missed phone calls from people not work related.

Well me playing for cornerstone was basically a disaster. i was out of tune, didnt know the songs well enough, we only practiced a total of 2 hours, and there were 5 songs.  but they turned down my guitar volume down so far, that i dont think anyone heard me play anyway.  oh well.  Cornerstone is almost over for the semester anyway, so i probably wont do it again any time soon.

Bob asked me this week if i wanted to go to Baltimore.  I figured he had just read on my page about wanting to go, and that he just offered to go.  But apparently, one of his *cough* friends *cough* is going down with deirdre for the same thing!!! GRR friggin bob didnt explain himself fully.  so we could have had a blast.  oh well.  Looks like we are still on for Andy’s though.

So now i hate birds.  i used to love them, and i could watch them all day.  but now some species of bird has made a nest right outside my window in a bush.  and it is 3 am right now, and it is chirping like mad.  and it does ALL DAY LONG.  i wouldnt have a problem with it if it were a “reasonable” hour, but i think this bird has the same issues that i have with sleep!!!  he just doesnt seem to grasp the concept of time that other birds follow.  And on that note, i share with you, the Sub-Servient Chicken

so i went home to eat with the family today.  good times, J’aime was in, chris’ dad, Rabe was in, keren and deirdre had softball, but they came later.  I havent been home for a while, and it was good to see everyone again.  Keren had 2 of my shirts, that i completely forgot about, and i am so stoked to have back in my possession.  they are as tight as can be, but when has that ever stopped me?  i just got to get rid of my man boobs.  but still, i felt like i got free shirts tonight.  plus, i jacked a car til thursday.  🙂

so i had to get home to get my guitar for cornerstone this week.  kinda nervous, havent played in a while.  and i dont know the songs.  we will see how it goes.

room is still a disaster.  this week i have to clean it. 

i had other crap i wanted to put up here, but i cant think right now.  dragon players just submitted 3 bugs to me, that are pretty big, so i gotta work those out. 

Chris reminded me it was Kurt Cobain’s death anniversary today.  Anyone remember that?  i didnt think so.  All you right handers would never even think of a lefty.  Infact, i bet you all had him killed.  or maybe it was the guitar manufacturer mafia, they thought they would have to actually produce left handed guitars, and have to sell them at reasonable rates if he became too successful.  it’s all a giant conspiracy i tell ya.  that, or it was courtney love. [shudder]

I missed this last week.  Apparently Bush gave some speech, and a kid started falling asleep in the background.  you have to have be able to watch real media files to see these.  David Letterman got flak from CNN for showing it.  With out further delay, here is Bush stimulating the minds of our youth.

“I was walking down the street with my friend and he said “I hear music.” As though there’s any other way to take it in. You’re not special. That’s how I receive it too…I tried to taste it, but it did not work…”

So i had a pretty big day today.  basketball til noon, ate lunch with 2 friends, watched some 3 on 3 tournament action, saw the soulpatch show, saw phantom planet play on bigelow, i tried calling you adrienne.  thought you might enjoy that, i just wanted to let you know that.  so then out to eat with more friends, then see some acapella groups sing, then “guys night” at a cornerstoner’s house til midnight.  good day.  gotta work in the morning though.  bleh. 

looks like me, bob, and maybe fuji are going to go see andy in delaware the weekend of the 24th.  that should be wild. 

still looking for another roomate for emily and myself. 

serah still doesnt answer my AIM messages.

today, the government gets to steal an hour of sleep from me.  they should be so proud.  they get my money this week from taxes, and now they are getting my time.  bitter?  me??  no way.

Deirdre has a volleyball tourney down in baltimore this coming weekend, and it looks like everyone is going to try to meet down there or something, Kathy is going to Philly, (Philthy) so i have nothing to do down there, and i have to work anyway, so i am just going to chill up here.  maybe play some guitar, seeing how much i need to practice after tuesday.  Well, nothing really else noteworthy, didnt really do anything else but hang out on campus today.  so, i will leave you with everything you want to know about breakfast cereals.

i don’t understand how people can market this. it’s an insult to human inteligence. however much of that there is.

The girl never ceases to amaze me.  She, once again, brought a finger eleven show to me.  They are coming to x-fest.  and so is switchfoot.  many more to be announced.  i bought 4 tickets.  so i will see them there and rolling rock town fair.  matchbook romance is coming to Mr smalls too.  lots of great shows coming up, i am going to add them all to the calendar here.  thanks adrienne!!
