Sunday is one of my best friend’s birthdays. He’s celebrating on Saturday with dinner and then going out to the bars later. (continue reading…)

I’m not even sure how I should feel about this. At current I’m not emotive about it but I know that if I keep thinking about it, I’ll develop some sort of emotion about it.

The rundown:

One of my best friends recently (in January) had an altercation with his roommate that made him want to move out. He told me about and we talked about it. I suggested that we could go apartment hunting and move in together since technically I have no place of my own. The idea was tabled. We never talked about it again because I wasn’t getting the vibe that he was moving out anymore. Yesterday I come to find out (from twitter and eventually over lunch) that he and one of his friends have gotten an apartment together. Apparently it’d been in the works for about a week.

I have a lot of friends. Most of them know what the want to do and are well on their way to getting there. Me on the other hand, not so much. I used to know what I wanted to do but in pursing it for a while I realized I really don’t want to do that. I’m kind of just wandering through life at the moment with no clear goal in mind. Sometimes I feel bad about it because of how others might perceive me but ultimately I really don’t give a fuck care what they think that much. (continue reading…)

*Note*- This is a really long tweet that I originally intended to do from TwitLonger.com but I decided to finally post something on my blog. I’ll edit it and add pictures later.

At the (overpriced) Cheesecake Factory Sunday, I was having lunch with my friend. We get there, order, and while waiting I decide to go wash my hands. I come out of the bathroom and there was booth of 3 girls sitting 3 booths from the corner. In passing, one girl was talking to her friend about me. For some reason, the friend decided to be obvious as hell about it so she decided to peer out of the booth with her entire head. Well little did she know I was right there so as she puts her head out, I had to stop to avoid ramming it into my crotch. (continue reading…)

Today I decided to go to Burger King for lunch. I wasn’t aware that it was going to turn out to be an experience.

It was lunchtime. Needless to say, it was somewhat busy, and the newbie cashier wasn’t making matters easier. A 10 minute wait in line yielded my turn to order. I proceeded to get a medium onion ring, value drink, and a whopper with no onions & extra pickle. Oh and I filled out the survey to get the whopper for free. So I was happy.

My order’s in and I’m handed my drink cup. I go the the pop machine, get ice, hit Coke for my Coke/Vault/Fanta drink and pffffff- syrupless Coke pours into my cup. I mention it to someone behind the counter and she tells me it’s out of syrup and the manager will change it and she could fill me up from the drivethru window. Sure. No dice- it was out of syrup as well. Multiple apologies were made and I went on my way, unphased, and not really concerned that I couldn’t get Coke- it’s only a pop, who cares. (continue reading…)

Recently, people have started appending things they say with ‘no homo’. It’s intended to mean that whatever they said is not meant in a homosexual context as with “Dude I like you, no homo.” It’s much like when people add ‘for real’ or ‘I promise’ to things.

Well to me when people say things like that, it means I should think they’re a liar. If you have to promise me you’ll do something, that means I shouldn’t believe you when you don’t say it. Which brings me back to saying ‘no homo.’ If you say that am I supposed to take everything you say without the ‘no homo’ modifier in a homosexual context? That’s the effect it has. It also means that on some level you feel unclear about your sexuality. If you have to say ‘no homo’ then chances are there’s something about you that says ‘I’m a homosexual’ that you’re trying to overcome. Working on that aspect of your persona would have a greater impact than saying ‘no homo’.

People should think about things they say before they say them. It’s why I don’t promise people I’ll do things. Either you believe me and it’ll happen or you don’t and it won’t. Take me at my word or get outta my face.

This weekend was intense, stressful, revelatory, and résumé building. I spent 26.8 hours at work managing two events. I’d provide more details about where I work and what I do but there’s someone who’ll probably end up reading this that’s just nosy for no damn reason. He thinks for some odd ass reason he’s entitled to know my every move, that I should update him 24/7/52,  and he should provide unnecessary, condescending, second-guessing commentary for every action I take.  Well you don’t, you irritate the hell out of me because you do this and think when people attempt to inform you that your overbearing ‘advice’ is unneeded and unwelcome you: a)deny it, b)get pissy, c)start being condescending if you haven’t already, d)pretend you know best and that I’ll fail from a lack of taking your shit, e)bring it up out of context whenever you get the chance, and f)act like my ideas are worthless because I thought of them without your input. But I digress and you’re no longer worth the additional thought and frustration you cause. You didn’t even deserve that paragraph but I figured I’d write it so you can realize why I don’t take any time to talk to you. (continue reading…)

I have no problem admitting that I like certain tv shows that others say I’m lame for watching. Recently, I’ve discovered that the CW has a lot of shows that I like- 90120, Melrose Place, The Beautiful Life (which had an intensely long 2 episode lifetime), Supernatural, and Smallville. If you think about it, that’s a lot of shows to watch on one network that I like to watch. Which is good for the network but uncommon. NBC has fallen off my map since they canceled the rebooted Knight Rider series. I like Heroes but I don’t actually tune in to watch. But I digress…

I’ve found myself watching the CW more and more for it’s now 4 renewing shows. There are 14 that have not been canceled that I watch and the CW has the largest share at 4, closely followed by USA (which is owned by NBC) with 3.  (90120, Aaron Stone, American Dad!, Clone Wars, Eureka, Family Guy, Heroes, Melrose Place, Psych, Royal Pains, Smallville, Supernatural, Warehouse 13, and Wizards of Waverly Place).

I’m not sure why, but it’s the CW shows I end up talking about the most. I find the drama of @9o12o interesting and along with Melrose Place, I like watching to see when the other shoe’s gonna fall on some of their schemes. I’m often left wanting more or being shocked by Supernatural because I don’t see some of those things coming. I used to like Smallville a lot after Clark stopped acting like a whimpering puppy because of Lana (old blog about it here) but the season 9 premiere has put me off. It wasn’t worthy of a season premiere and it’s making the outlook for Smallville very grim. Burning the S into stuff? How TACKY is that?! Eureka’s a good show but it’s not really something to talk about with friends as with most of the shows I watch. Family Guy’s funny (missed this season’s premiere) and I usually make references or talk in the Cleveland voice.

I think this year has the most new shows on television that I watch and coupled with reruns of my favorite shows, I could spend all day watching TV if I really wanted to. That’s all for now, I gotta get back to Melrose Place and Supernatural that I missed last week…

Today while I was getting some cards printed for my latest client (you can read about it here and here), I had the opportunity to learn something new but I missed it. The guy at AlphaCopies was showing me the steps to make a Step & Repeat document in Acrobat to print the cards on cardstock so they’d line up with crop marks after printing. I missed it cause I fell asleep. I spent all night working on Jake’s business cards so I guess eventually at 9 in the morning I crashed. Oh well. Next time I’ll go sleep first and then get my work printed. Hah.

I’ve recently noticed articles in the Iowa State Daily about the Greek community and how it’s supposed to represent the best aspects of the student population. That it might do but from my many interactions and conversations it seems like people in that community are a bit pretentious. It’s almost like if you aren’t involved in the Greek community you’re missing out on some special society that you’re going to regret for the rest of your life. (continue reading…)
