Yo readers. So today was a bit'a fun - bought me a PS2! Yes, you're thinking "so what?" But not having a major system in so long has been draining my youthful vigor, and what is a college student without one? Also, I now have a DVD player so *Yes!* Cause that TV deserves a good movie night or two. Can I just say that -- the phrase "Google Gadget" bring a grin to my face. It has something to do with things Google can do I guess, but it makes me think of inspector gadget immediately. Now as ya'll will know, my birthday is coming up this February. So I compiled a list of some things I want. Not particularly what I expect my friends to get me, just a thought exercise of some items I feel like getting/buying in the months ahead. Birthday Wish List! Any Spryo game that isn't "Enter the Dragonfly"!!! (Which is one of the only games I have left at home.) The Spyro's are really pretty much some of the best games ever! And this way, next winter...

I'm not gonna lie -- aside from ya know, the constant unhappiness and despair, I've been in a Musical mood lately. (Not a mood that is musical, but the mood for musicals) Woo, as Jon Stewart just put it: "It's our one week anniversary with Barack Obaaamaaa!" So I have work tonight, 12 - 4am. Gotta... hm, Historical Methods homework redo, write a paper for US History to 1877, and probably a bunch of reading I *should...* do. BTW - people who actually read this, comment, or vote on the job thing on the left so I know you're here creepers! I'd like to know my friends care, even if this is such a successful thought exercise. Fantastic Amazing Thing of the Day: This!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know about you, but whenever I think about Disney anything, I think about how cool it would be if in real life people just broke into a song. And I'm not talking about a group of people singing Fergalicious, I'm talking about an elaborate situation-s...

So I'm not a big fan of a bunch of posts over a short period of time, but just wanted to add some things. I got my passport today, thanks to moms morning-express delivery service. Thanks to delivery delays, it reads "Issued on January 21st, 2009" -- the exact day a certain someone was sworn in as U.S. Secretary of State (the department responsible for US citizens abroad, as well as all diplomatic and negotiation efforts.) So woohoo for that kinda cool thing. On all the visa pages for stamps, it has quotes from important American individuals -- and Teddy count = 2. His head is on Mount Rushmore on one page, and a quote by him is on another n.n I understand that life is rarely fair. It hasn't been fair to any of the individuals I idolize or aspire to be. Lincoln, Clinton, Ryan, two Roosevelts and King. Most of those didn't live to see their dream come fruition. All we can do is hope for the best, and work our hardest, and if it isn't enough, at least we can say...

I just realized yesterday was January 25th. The day dad died 11 years ago. damn, and ya know I just posted about how I didn't want things to get any worse. I wish I was the kind of person who could release anger by shoving everything off a desk. God, life is sucking.

Well, Kayla had her 21st Birthday on 1/23/2009 - and it was interesting, definitely. A bunch of the Garfield people came, and a couple Akron Circle K'rs too, and some of Jesse's friends. Best Birthday wishes to Kayla, I truly hope this year and all future ones are blessed with happier and less stressful moments than those that filled her party. :/ My passport seems to have come in, at least I hope so. Even though I work 12-4am tonight, I'll be waking up at 8:30am to welcome mom with a dozen packages - mostly text books. One of which I should have a chapter read by my 11:00 class, so maybe I'll get some redbull, haven't had any since last semester. Though I hate having redbull on an empty stomach, and I never have breakfast, I just seem to have lost my appetite lately. Redbull on an empty stomach just causes me to have this weird kinda shake that can't be healthy. Though, redbull-less, I'm kinda going through that lately too. So I have so much to say to some...

Those words, spoken so eloquently by President Gerald Ford upon taking the oath following the resignation of President Nixon in 1974, relate quite perfectly in the modern age as well. The Bush Administration, pockmarked with conspiracy and controversy, checkered with unconstitutional practices including but not limited to torture and domestic wire-tapping, and forever tarnishing our national image abroad by mishandled wars in the middle east - is at long last over. At noon, January 20th, 2009 - Barack Hussein Obama became the 44th President of the United States of America. Let me just say, WOOHOO! Standing in the crowd of 1.8 million people on the national mall in Washington D.C., elation does not begin to define the mood. Finally the Bush saga is over. We don't have to hear about Rumfelds secrets, Cheney's darth vader-like wackjob-ness, Gonzallez's attorneys, Condi Rice's attempts to fix something, Scooter Libby, or Bushisms ever again. And in Obama's first secon...

Well, sorry readers I haven't posted all break. Trust me, I tried, desperately, but at home I have dial-up and for some reason as of break, Dial up became crappier than ever before. Facebook, my google account, credit card sites, online banking, even Akron Email all no longer worked! WTF! But rest assured, I will try to blog more now that I am back. So it's been a pretty interesting break! I GoT MY LICENSE! WOOP WOOP! HELL YEAH! Best feeling of accomplishment ever. And I applied for a passport for my Korea aspirations this July n.n should be here by my Birthday in February. And some little things here and there that don't immediately come to mind. Some Good Quotes of Break: "Don't worry you can still come in second. I mean, last." - Sean, Sarah's brother, to Sarah (Re:Racing game, lol) "...within the margarine of error..." - Mom "NO, NO, Andrew! Push me AND SPIN ME!" - Sarah while we were sledding at midnight, but her phone called Ke...
