Redheads

It is not fair how insanely attractive redheads are to me.

Mostly because I've yet to find one who likes me.
((on that note, I'm still trying to find A girl to put up with me))

But really. If beauty was on a scale, its like redheads instantly get 10 bonus points.

So, long story short....
Calling all Redheads, Calling all Redheads!

Anyway. This was a good weekend.

Got to dress up as Anakin. Which turned out pretty well from what I heard. Unfortunately I don't have any pics of it. So hopefully I'll get some next time I wear it.

I also got screentested for a short film one of my Star Wars buddies is doing. I sucked it up pretty bad. I'm not that great of an actor and I didn't really 'fit' any of the parts but...uh, some of my relatively unique vocal talents managed to impress them, so who knows...I may have some role in it after all.

Still wanting to get Lauren famous. Been trying to feed her anything lyrical I can think of...which isn't much.

But, fingers crossed eh?

Work tomorrow...another 6 am shift....yay...

BUT. I do have mini danishes this time!
Night!


For good measure
Calling all Redheads, Calling all Redheads!

Rooftop Poem

So, this is more me trying to write lyrics to help my good friend Lauren produce her own album. So, as a side note, to the two of you who read this, follow her on twitter and do what you can to help. Please?

Anyway, I'll show you the poem, since I know you are dying to read it.


-----------------------

Close your eyes.

Open yourself to the world around you.

Can you feel it?

Feel the life of the city.

Let the pulse resonate

Listen to your heart and notice

Its matching time.

The beat of the city,

The sound of the world

Of hopes, of dreams,

Of doubts, of fears

Of love, of loathing

The sound of life.

Thousands of souls swarm around you,

Tilt your head back to the sky

And feel their touch.

Their pain, their joy

Their triumphs, their failures

Their laughter, their tears,

It's the miracle of life.

Everyones got a story to share,

Simply take a moment to listen

And join yourself to this human race.

----------------------

So, writing lyrics is something I have zero experience with, so this kinda ended up as a half poem half song. I like the idea of it, but not how it turned out. I may play around with it later. 

Well, I'm tired. Crimson Nights turned out to be a disappointment, but I have a troop tomorrow. I get to wear my anakin costume that I ((just about)) finished!! Pictures once I get a camera!

I hate Gen Eds.

Second day of classes.

I only have 2 gen eds left for my bachelor. I'm taking one of them now. It's language of color. Really, a good for nothing fluff class that is purely BS. But, it gets me "diversity" credit.

So I'll suffer through it.

But I hate the people in Gen ed classes. There are so many people who do not deserve to be in college, and it seems like they all congregate either at local pubs, or in gen ed classrooms.

They are just those type of people that either scream "douchebag" or "idiot" or you can TELL they are high.

But I'll stop ranting about them.

Lauren showed me how to play two chords on the guitar. I suck at it, but I like trying....I kinda want to keep at this. Maybe I'll give up a while later but...for now, I wanna try.


Teacher doesnt' like laptops on during class. great.....now how am I going to stay awake. Anyway, I've got to go try to pay attention.

Another post at work

So, here I be, a-sittin' and a-writin'.

I'm pretty bored. And exhausted. Opening the building three times a week...Dunno how I'll manage that. Been up since 5, and I gotta stay til 2 today.

My eyes will NOT stay open and I'm yawning like crazy.

Yay. A sterotypical athlete in crutches. Maybe he'll lose his sports scholarship and realize he has no where to go in life. :D

Yes. I'm bitter.
I know most athletes aren't bad, but enough are.

I have had to use the bathroom WAY more than I should've today too.

I gotta go to the Candlelight Serenade Acoustic festival the other day for ten hours. It was a lot of fun. I mostly just took pictures and helped out, but I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I got to 'meet' neon trees. Though they band was more focused on taking pictures with Darth Vader and the storm troopers I had brought with me to meet them. They got pictures taken together by the Salt Lake Tribune I believe. I haven't seen if they ever got published though.

Only downside to the concert? I still haven't recovered from all the sleep deprivation and I got sunburnt like mad.
But we got our name out there, so who knows! Maybe some good will come of it.

SOOO many freshmen today. Kinda cute....but they all look so YOUNG. Am I getting older? blah.

 They also look lost and confused. Like Bambi.
Ive directed SO many people around campus today, and shuttle routes, and this and that...its nice, cus I feel smart, even though I'm really not.

I wish some of them would flirt with me....that'd be a nice ego booster.

My thanks go out to my lovely friends who brought me food today. They all got moved into the same apartment! Yay! Now I only have to go to one place to bother people!

Wow. As I watch the people who walk by, I keep thinking..."who likes short shorts...."

Working

Sittin at work.

Bored. There's been a lull in the HC.

Looks like for the rest of the year I'm working mondays wedsnesdays and fridays from 6 am to 10Am. 2 PM on Mondays....so, what is that...14 hours a week?

NOT looking forward to the opening shifts, but....maybe It'll make me sleep earlier. Probably not though.

Lauren left on vacation. I miss her. :( Heheheh. but I do feel better knowing she is suffering.

My Family

I'm sitting in the airport awaiting my departure back to Salt Lake.


Mixed feelings right Now. It'll be nice to get home to all my stuff and friends. But I also start work tomorrow, and have school next week, etc.....Long story short, I'm about to get very busy very fast.

But all that doesn't really matter.

What makes this tough is leaving my family.

It felt so natural to be with them in the new house. Same furniture, same rooms, same feel....Just being around them is so harmonious to who I AM...to how I grew up. Living with my family is like the...baseline of my quintessence.

At first I felt like I may have taken for granted this time I had for them but....I got to spend time doing what I always did with them, and I felt like I was in a HOME for a week. It was...nice.

((I'm tearing up writing this. Gah. ))

But, yeah. It was a nice break to be home with my family. I wish they still lived in Utah so I could enjoy that luxury more, but...I'll survive.

I really miss Dean though. There's all this cool stuff I want to do with him, but can't, because we live so far away.
He really is awesome though, and I wish I could do half the stuff he can. We tried doing handstands together. Hahah....I kept hurting myself but it was a lot of fun. I wish We could work together to do parkour and stuff.

When mom took me to the airport, I gave all my brothers hugs first. At least I thought I had. I guess I forgot Dean. ((sorry!!))

So as Mom pulls the car out onto the 40 mph road, I hear a shout "hey", look back, and Dean is running full speed to catch the car. I got mom to pull over, cus we thought maybe something bad had happened or I forgot something,etc....He ran up to me and just gave me a hug and said he loved me.  Made it really hard to let him go or say goodbye. Gah.....I love you Dean.

I'm crying too much to keep writing...heh...and hopefully my plane boards soon. Ummm...Yeah. So I love my family, and I'll be back in Utah soon.

Surprised Komodo Dragon

I'm writing this blog post in the morning.

Whaaaaa?

 Anyway. 


I got a new phone yesterday. T-mobile family plan and all that, so apparently I was due for an upgrade, or my mom's phone was, or however it works. 


Point being. I got a "Samsung Gravity T' or something like that. I think it was a T. 
Its pretty awesome. Got a touch screen....which is kinda tricky to use but.....yeah. I'll get used to it. 


Next step, to shrink my fingers so I don't have such a hard time hitting the buttons. 


So, I have this music program. Virtual instruments and all that. For some reason, it's stopped working...kinda. Hard to explain if you haven't' seen it, but...It'll SHOW the notes...but not play them, and...yeah, its weird and annoying, and driving me nuts. I really want to use it, but restarting the program, my computer, searching the 'help', searching google....no luck. So I'm giving up for now. 


Still hating everyone who went to CV. They started posting pictures. There was a full sized Tie Fighter, snowspeeder....probably more than that...Ugh, I'd give my kidney to be there....


Well, I would, if I hadn't already broken both of my kidneys in that radio antennae accident. 


Both Dean and I have a virus I believe....our throats have been hurting. His seems a bit worse off than mine....I just assumed that mine hurt cus of the altitude/climate change. 


This new phones vibrate setting is really weedy...I can't feel it when its full blast, IN my pocket....so that's going to prove interesting haha. 


I really need to get going on my chewbacca costume..But it is so tedious...Blah. But I'd like to get it done by October maybe....So if anyone wants to help me latchhook...I'll love them. 


California is HOT

I have trouble sleeping at night from the heat. Oy. And I torqued my neck. 

Besides that though, its really pretty and nice here. But also a bit too crowded. I like cities, don't get me wrong, but...even a smaller town like Clovis is too much hustle and bustle for me. 

  So, I drew that yesterday. Took way longer than it should've. And I'm still not really happy with how it turned out. The colors are really hard to get right because they have the guy a kind of whitish grey, but in ALL the scenes he's in they use a tungsten filter so it gives this bluish hue...I didn't know what color to do him, and...Yeah. That's the best I could do, but I still don't like it. But, I may put it on a shirt. Depends on the feedback I get. 



Lauren is annoyingly good at singing I've decided. And she is all seductive when she sings. I am still determined to get her a record deal. If she'd just stop being so stubborn and let me. 

It's odd being done with Summer Conferencing. It kinda just fused itself into my life. I feel like i should be doing something for it. 

Speaking of work though, I have to start training ASAP when I get home from my lovely vacation. Should be....fun and tedious. It'll be nice to have a job I guess. Money wise that is. 
I do feel bad because I got scheduled for this weekend and all this time when I had already gotten it off for my trip...so people had to cover my shifts....So, even though they won't read this...Thank you   to everyone who did. 

So, when I get back, gotta handle my job, gotta go visit my shrink, gotta meet up with Doug and get some measurements taken for a jumpsuit, gotta meet with Dr. Drews about starting my human factors certificate project, gotta finalize my schedule and buy my books....and probably some other stuff.  Hoo boy. Gonna be a busy time. 

I wish I had a sparring partner. I think it'd be a fun way to exercise if I had someone to 'duel' with. And I miss choreographing fights.  

Seriously, my phone is sitting on the table, loudest vibrate. I SAW it light up, but it didn't make any noise or move or anything. It's like its vibrate is non-existant. 

So, I wants to lose weight. But I lack any sense of motivation. I need someone to start yelling at me when I eat too much or don't exercise. Any takers? 


I want to get a desktop computer....for gaming mostly. I know its kinda frivolous, but...Well, it'd obviously have other more practical uses as well...


You know....writing this would be a lot more enjoyable if I knew more than four people read it.
