Well last night was pretty hilarious... Had a good time with mike...
Sometimes I worry that compressing time in pictures may make it seem that me and all of my friends do nothing but drink, fortunately this is not true :) so I guess if you think I need AA you can leave a comment and I will note it.
Enjoy the pics...
How the night got started ...
Mike Holding his wine like its his baby... haha
Ashley's Apartment.. it was crazily big. mike and I got lost a couple times inside before we found apartment her apt # ...
My hanging out in the parking ramp with the smokers.. even though I don't smoke...
Everyone Drank my bicardi... It was mostly gone before I had even a couple drinks... I need to invent a cap that only opens with a key...
Mike running down the sidewalk trying to get me to race him to the car... hahahaha
Me this morning after i slept in my jeans... they were quite wrinkly.
The end of that night...
2 weeks ago when I went out with josh and leah, and a couple buddies from work!
.........
Joey making the VW symbol ... hahaha
Joey telling me I'm a dirty hippy.. .like usual
A goofy Pic...
Joey and his wife...
Me making a face?
Joey and mike... a night of randomness...
lauryn and I sitting at the hospital... waiting to get her checked out, because she fell and hit her head... She was pretty happy for a girl that was at the hospital... lol good thing someone didn't drink at the party.

It's so wonderful today. I feel so excellent, I woke up early, Excercised, went to the bank, went to my uncles helped him move some of his heavy stuff into boxes, chatted with my grandma demott (the nice one) for about an hour because she was over there as well. That was nice... Left there went tanning, trying to get ready for going to the beach... I was going to go into work and get my schedule and change my availability, but I haven't yet, maybe tonight, I have to go to the bank before 5 too... yikes.. busy busy busy!
I think I'm going to get my hair cut tonight.. say goodbye to my long hippy hair... It's really long.. I mean I could totally look all punk if I dyed it black got a lip ring and wore a studded belt with and a shirt with some bands name on it... lol! Hopefully I don't look bald after I get done with that...
I just got to josh's house we are watching a bit of tv... and I'm sure we'll go out and do something tonight.. I can't wait until I'm 21 and the midnight venue of things to do is opened up.
I am trying to plan out my new housing situation it isn't going too well so far.. not sure what to do about it yet.
I have a cold I am a ton better today though, I feel so much better than I did yesterday.. I was so sick.
Last week was such a bad week I didn't have any energy I was really down, I'm glad things are so much better for me, And summer weather is here, can't wait for the rest of this summer and to see everything that's going to happen, It's hopefully going to be a lot of fun! I might get a 2nd job working where josh does, because they don't give me near 40 hours lately.. and I need lots of money to save up so if I do move I can afford it... so that's whats up with me... Until next time! LatersCurrent Mood: accomplished Current Music: Fall Out Boy |

This weekend was the best in some time... glorious .. despite some random drama's ..
Saturday started off with going down to the drag strip for kicks... the cruise down was less entertaining due to the state trooper that followed us for the 20 min drive. but after that.. watching traps all day was fun. and no one blew up so clap for that..
Then around 5 ish.. joel and I went shopping.. saw sara, becca, and mike at meijer.. Sara goes.. so we'll see you guys back at the duplex in 30 minutes...
The party started at 7... we had a blast... mike and I did some yager... oh I love that mike.. I usually hang out around mike when we are at the parties just because he's hilarious.. I get along with him really well... does the best meatwad impression ever.. I should record it.. "you don't tell me when I'm drunk, I determine when I am drunk.. that's between me and god"
My brother did the bartending.. he did an excellent job by the way... good things.. I love the duplex.. and their bar.
I will get some pictures from mikey and post them if I can... I can't remember how drunken they look we'll see I guess.
oh yes so that is my great story.... fun
then sunday came... sara joel tracy and I went out for breakfast that was fun... then we all went to church at 6, was quite an emotional service.. about grieving.. but the night ended well because we all came back to my place and sat outside and shot the breeze... so it was a very complete and entertaining weekend.. I'm happy to say.. I had a lot of fun.. and my monday didn't seem so bad because of it. I have work tomorrow so I'll be busy like 7-3 then 5 - 10.. so I need to get some sleep tonight unlike last night.. NO Sleep. busy busy busy.. summer is almost here wooot can't wait.
Not sure where or who the hell I am moving in with now.. maybe just emily.. or just dave I don't know.. I'd like to figure it out soon though. .I don't want to live here this summer alone.. holy crap I couldn't take it... Ben likes people. Until next time, peace. |

Today was really busy.. and a long day of work.. I'm exhausted.. I didn't get home until late... I don't think I have to go in tomorrow unless eric decides to radically change the new schedule at the last minute. So technically I have friday OFF.. so I'm free to do whatever it is that I do... probably nothing...
Talked to jon today... he seems to be doing well... I meant him driving into my garage. I was so tired I just wanted to get inside and lay down... honestly last night I didn't get any sleep it wasn't a good scene. then I had to get up for work at 6am.
A little concerned about my housing situation... Emily said I could live with them.. so I might move in.. with emily, adam, and dave. Probably rent a townhouse on the northside. .really live it up lol...
Only thing is I like being 1 mile from work. .especially on early days.. the north side would make it like a 15min or better drive.. I guess a small price to pay... I know I don't want to live alone this summer... I don't like being alone too much.
On a personal note... I'm not in the best spirits right now.. I guess just because I'm really really tired.. tomorrow will be a lot better I'm sure... my computer hates me.. I really can't wait to build a new one... I'm going to take up a sport this summer... AAU baseball maybe.. might be a little competitive not sure.. we'll see... I just hope this summer is enjoyable.. I'm really discouraged thinking that I won't see any of my friends back home this summer... Next time we go to purdue maybe I'll hang out with a couple of them. Joel says he's going to visit every weekend this summer.. I doubt it lol... which is why I decided its best to have roomates this summer.
Saying this will get me in trouble.. but not sure exactly when I want to think about dating again... I suck at dating I guess.. lol... I'm trying to just let what happens happen...and not worry about it..
Love is a gigantic risk... an immense risk.. but at the end of the day its worth it. I listened to the song "Crazy for this girl" I used to love that song... it reminded me of the feeling of your first kiss when your 16... the butterflies.. that innocent euphoria... where nothing else matters... oh I love that feeling... I guess thats why love is worth it right. .that's my most shallow description of love.. but thats how it all started for me... when I was young.. it was so easy to just fall in love... maybe I haven't found the right person since then.. I want to believe love.. its endlessness... One of my favorite movies is the thin red line.. not only do I love the character development.. but seeing one mans love for his wife through his eyes.. .the immensity of it... its just so touching.. and impactful..
"I want to be one with you, know you so well that when I look at you I can't tell you from me, we are the same person"
Theres another part where hes discussing there immense distance.. later in the movie you realize these insights are letters he's writing to his wife over the course of his tour during WW2
"How will we cross these dark waters, how will I find my way back to you, I wan't to remain changless for you, to be the man you knew when I left, I only hope I can return to you and be the man you knew"
Just the impact of his words.. its amazing.. This is what i have known before this kind of love... I only hope I know it again in the future, whoever it may be with... The chance for restoration the choices that people make impacting another...see what happens to their love watch the movie for yourself, incredible.
I guess love is a hard learned lesson for some. It's certainly had a lot to do with the person I am right now and the person I one day will be... I'd like to think its all apart of the journey.. Sometimes I wish I didn't care for people so much... but maybe thats apart of the reason I can feel so connected to people.. Life is a puzzle to me sometimes I guess... I just question where I will belong someday... It seems everytime I'm single everyone else has a girlfriend.. it just makes it hard sometimes.. especially when my best friends are married or getting married... I see what they have... I need more single friends I guess... Well my deep thoughts ... I'm sure someone will enjoy them.
(random) Joel is watching this jazz thing and he's all into it.. he really needs to take up a musical instrument as much as he listens to it at 1 am.. sigh... crazy... I like it now... they are playing good jazz... lol... |

So my away message today was "deploying the hotness" I thought it was funny... I make myself laugh hahaa
Went to a movie with joel and jackie... that was fun saw robots in the IMAX theater. It was funny joel and I were discussing how metro we are.. and i was like.. yea I'm metro.. but then I'm also like. .(in redneck voice) .. Hey guys lets go see that there car race. lol ... then jac mentioned that a guy she knows is so metro that for april fools she was going to call his mom to tell her that her son was gay. but decided against it.. I told her "good call jac" ;) ..lol
Mmm went running 2.3 miles in 19 minutes and lifted weights.. I'm in better shape than I was last summer... I'm like the buffest I've ever been its gettin scary... before ya know it im gonna be an underwear model.. (totally kidding) .. I do think mark walburg is awesome though.. (he started out as an underwear model.. in case that didn't make sense to anyone)
mmm... Played poker tonight.. was a lot of fun... on one hand.. everyone was betting really low.. .and by the look and a previous hand I assumed everyone had a low hand.. I have two 6's.. I put half of my chips in as a total bluff... thinking everyone will fold, like they had before... NOPE damn it. .the other ben.. says "what the hell" and everyone else follows suit... before i know it I'm out of the game... a few hands later in another game I totally roped them into betting against me..... so it worked into my favor and I had 3 Aces... so thats my poker story..
Afterwards we went outside to play wiffle ball. thats right.. I struck out the first two times.. I was rusty! ... but after that I beat the hell out of that skinny plastic bat...:) ... it was fun.. I think this will be a semi-regular thing. oh and a whole 1 girl played lol... |
| » Yaa |

I would just like to say I had a blast at work today. Nick is a really cool guy he helped me out a lot...
Brad me and the double agent went to lunch today in the geek mobile that was fun.. So far I have about 20 acronyms in my best buy mental dictionary... I'm sure it will grow to well over 120... Yea so I LOVE going to work.. it's more fun than being home...
Josh and I had fun.. we played aladdin.. for snes.. yea that modded xbox is working out nicely for him lol...
We were spose to get drunk and play bomberman with some friends fri nite.. but he kind of destroyed those plans by having to work... Oh well though. he's not moving to florida now YAY!!! I'm so happy about that.. we'd really have a lot of fun if he wasn't married lol... just kidding leah! we still have a lot of fun actually... I would of gone out to eat with you guys fri morning.. but I had shit to do around here...
So things are going well can't really complain. .sorta wish I was getting drunk tonight instead of dressing up to go to a fancy resteraunt .. sad I know... but damn it everyone else is 21 so they drink at the bar .. what am I spose to do !!?!?! well hanging with the gane is going to be a TON of fun... especially sunday... I've discovered that best buy just like bw3's only hires hot woman... don't be on their shit list tho... nick made that mistake.. ok well enough of my random rambling. .I have nothing to do right now except watch the pre pre pre game for State. .W00t go state!
Peace out everyone!
Wilmy you have to find a guy with a really nice car now that your asian.. that or a crotch rocket... oh and you need some really happenin' shades! ;)

It was a good day, the church service was excellent... It was good seeing emily ... I gave her a big hug.. Brad was in good spirits.. I enjoy that kid. Sara and becca were there too.. beltline bar was open so we all went there... It was a good time sitting and talking.. and Michigan State won.. so now their in the final 4, I'm happy about that even though I'm not real into basketball...
I have to get up early tomorrow so I need to get to bed soon.
Tiffany Burns, My best friend's sister called me up, who I've known since birth.. She didn't have anyone to go to an easter service with. .so she came with us... that was fun, I don't get to see her much anymore..
Well tomorrow Josh Doesn't work late I don't think.. I might give him a call if I'm not too spent after work.
Hopefully I get my banking troubles squared away tomorrow (my debit card doesn't work for no apparent reason) .. neither does my online checking Humm...
Well hopefully work will be fun tomorrow... I'm tired so I'm going to bed I guess
Hopefully we will all party it up this coming saturday.. and maybe my brother will be around to hang out... I enjoy hanging out with him.. it's just he never does hang out anymore... hmm This summer will be fun though.. I'll have the apartment to myself I guess... Anyone want to be my roomate?
well off I go.. I won't post till next week prolly so until then Peace! I have pictures.. but I'm too lazy to upload them, and make links... haha maybe I'll get a paid account soon...

| » Party Time |
|---|
SO last night was wonderful... I had a really good time.. josh and I hung out till about 6pm. .I took a nap then went to sara and brads place... I'm now in the "in" group... the secret society of best buy employees I realized... I got invited to places I've never been I tell ya what... the doors are opening up.. lol
Josh is an awesome friend I must say.. I really Don't have a better time with anyone else... and he's a real friend.. like he'd be there for ya... I really hope he finds another job up here so he doesn't have to move to florida.. but oh well if he does.. ya gotta do what ya gotta do to live.
At the party it was a lot of fun... when I got there emily, chad, and nickson had already had plenty to drink lol... Brad me, and another guy from work hung out most the time... Something funny that happened... Nickson asked sara if sara's sister would go out with him... sara knowing that her sister hates guys, who:
1.) have facial hair
2.) smoke
3.) cuss
And nickson does all of these... so she just told him oh yea man she would totally say yes... then 5 minutes later a drunken nickson was shot down so bad that the crash and bang from it could be heard from miles away.
In other news my brother is now getting married this coming winter... supposedly. .. not sure how he's gonna afford that... but ya know whatever... seeing jacs sister isn't going to talk to me I guess that's going to be akward... I can just picture it now... shallow and mundane conversation sparked by the realization of two people's pasts and their inability/refusal to relate to eachother.. oh what fun times family get togethers will be... Maybe I need to get joel to breakup with jac. .that would really make everything easier... yea I think so.. course maybe I just won't go... Joel tells me I'm going to be his best man.. and I'm like.. No I'm not... and he goes "yes you are" and then I say... well you're not going to be my best man.. just so ya know.. lol That spot is reserved for Josh... as I promised him years ago... a man of my word I am... course I have to find a chick to marry first.. hahaha
I'm enjoying my single life right now... I'll get sick of it eventually. .but right now it's going good... I'm just going to do a lot of bro'ing out... this is the most I've developed significant relationships with other males.. I think it has a lot to do with my level of maturity.. I never was into the groups of people at school that would call me a friend... with all the bickering.. backstabbing.. and incofidence... it really wasn't a cool scene.. the only people that I ever got along with really well.. that I would call friends, were a guy named aaron.. who moved away when I was in highschool.. another friend mark who moved away in middle school, scott obviously... John tepen was a nice guy.. didn't get to hang out with him much except for baseball... Cory was a good guy sometimes.. I never felt on the same level as most people.. our live's were so different that we really couldn't relate too well...
But that's solved now.. living in the middle class neighborhood I do.. I feel right at home haha...
So I'm in a good mood today, Joel gets back tonight.. I'll be going to church with the gang.. and Maybe seeing josh... what a wonderful day it is.. and it's supposed to get warmer.. so Hey.. I think jon gets back from vacation today too.. It's a WONDERFUL day...
I tell ya.. when I have those moments in life where everything seems like its going your way.. it F'in ROCKS I'm gonna remember this moment.. and when I complain to one of you about how much my life sucks.. you remind me of this entry...

Holy crapola everyone.. it's been a month... The last month has been busy... well ya know..
I started working at best buy... And I'm making loads of cash.. and soon will be sporting a rolex and ferrari... I wish... I uhh... I need to find a roomate who wants to be my roomate??? I'm really not sure what I want to do.. if I want to live up here this summer or not.. I could try to get a factory job for the summer and come back to best buy next semester... I will be having all classes at ferris next semester.. and that's a good thing.. my selection of friends is yet to be seen at school..
Really considering selling my car this summer... actually definetely selling my car.. that's first on my "agenda"...
Really excited about that I must say.
Beth and I broke up as most people know... it was coming for awhile... I don't want to say I held on.. but... in fairness to her I really did like her... I think there was a real lack of chemistry to begin with .. which I should have seen.. so I didn't waste 3+ months.. I've heart a lot of other relationships.. just by not being as available though...which you can't really help.. its hard to balance life ya know... But I feel like I need to really examine my dating choices... Friends for a really long time is best before dating. it doesn't work otherwise I decide
... oh well... I just pray that when I meet her I know.. I think I might give emily or nickson a call... me and that nickson.. good things..I could "bro out" with that kid.... I heart huckabees is out .and just as soon as I go to the back and deposit my check I'm renting or buying it... that movie is hilarious...
Went to work and they told me to go home cuz they didn't need me so that was fun...
Joshy is coming over and I'm going to solder in his modchip for him... just bro out you know...

so I think everytime I'll post because having a subject is kind of pointless... I will just put some phrase from a rap song ... thats pretty rediculouse (sounds like me) speaking of which civi made me change my title of the journal... haha its a joke.. but its still funny.. I laugh everytime I visit this site.
So the weekend went really well... had a good time with civi.. went to church on sunday then hung out with emily, brad, sara, nickson.. nick stopped in also.. strangely enough rebecca was there and she brought her cousin and his friends who also go to mars hill... they all seemed like cool guys... maybe we'll all sit together or something.
What else is going on... I missed out on halo night tonight because I couldn't drive over to cornerstone.. joel was already there... oh well... I need to get them all to play counterstrike on occasion sheesh... My job prospects in the geek squad are looking up.. I've been waiting to get in there since new years.. but its worth it for flexible hours and 11/an hour in pay... wee Well everyone until next time toodles!

Would of hung out with the bunch.. but oh wait.. they left without me... thanks joel I appreciate that... course I didn't shower today.. so I probably would of had to do that.. yes its 4 am. .and im still up.. hmm oh well.. its thursday nite I'm allowed to... umm
I think all I have to eat in my house is cereal and grilled cheese... its a bad scene.
bored bored bored... do do do do.. dum dum dum dum... la la la...
I'm trying not to let the depression of winter set in.. but its so hard.. I've really really had enough..
Oh good news.. and if I wasn't in such a bad mood I would be waaay more excited about it.. over spring break bethany and I are going to florida so that should be fun.. I'm glad that worked out... yea so I will get a week away from michigan.. uhh I hate you michigan weather..
The lakes are pretty in the summer gotta give it that though...
well enough of my randomness I guess... I'm going to go take a placebo so I feel better ... haha that was a joke...
Hmm well everyone pray for that I get out of my bad mood / mildly depressed funk that I'm in... Maybe I just need some fun I don't know... Laters Everyone!

So tomorrow I think I'll go bug luke, I really have no money so I might have to walk the 5 miles to his apartment...
My neighbor jon doesn't seem as friendly lately.. I guess he's busy with school... playing too much computer games.
his girlfriend and him "took a break" once.. the rumor being he was dating his video games... So maybe he'll decide that he likes hanging out with us more than world of warcraft.. who's to say though. Well everyone have a good day I'll see ya when I see ya... and pray for me that I'll find another job!
I excpect to see nickson, emily, brad, and sara at church on sunday or im cracking the whip. Laters everyone.

I'm sitting on the couch at lukes apartment.. and the other ben is over, we just got done making fun of nick, not the nicest thing to do.. but I think it was good therapy for everyone to rag on him a little... other than that I really need work so I can make money... Brad please get me into geek squad so I can pull my 11/ an hour...ahh and randomely joel just showed me a picture of a guy sticking his finger through his nose and out his eye socket.. .can you say disgusting. . wooow
Superbowl was a lot of fun, hung out with a couple that we know (long story sorta) early on in the day. then they went back home, after we saw in good company (pretty good movie) .. thheeeen we went over to joshie poo's.. saw the batman commercial (josh: "they finally made another movie about me") ... got sick ofthe superbowl played some halo2 I sat there and laughed at them.. it was quite humerous.. then went back to the superbowl after half time and watched the end. the commercials were kinda lame... I like the sky diving.. fedex/bear/burt reynolds.... and killing the cat with a knife commercial... It was a fun time as I haven't seen him in forever, I'll have to go over there every sunday and just show up, lol... or get a part time job at where he works just to see him (kinda sad I know) well Everyone know that this is on LJ you can POOOSST!!! aren't you so happy??!! I know you are... everyone can post.. and comment.. so Please do!... all you people I don't know are welcome to as well...
Final Thoughts:
I bought some spongbob cereal.. and it was tasty.. I would just like to say...
