The Stupid Old Man, Again!

2007-10-04T17:13:00.000-04:00

Remember this guy? He's still alive! I couldn't believe it! I was driving back to work after lunch today, and as I pass a gas station, I notice out of the corner of my eye that some idiot is leaned back holding some sort of cord, it really looked like he was trying to pull the pump over. So I turn and actually give him a look, and it was the SAME GUY! Doing the same dumb thing he was doing last time I saw him! I wasn't quick enough to get a picture this time, since I was driving, but this was even funnier looking than the first. I'm pretty sad y'all can't see it. I guess I'm going to have to watch for him and keep my phone in camera mode at all times... Perhaps this isn't the last you'll hear of the Man Who Can't Pump Gas!

My Movie

2007-08-27T00:34:00.001-04:00

Didn't even make it off the runway.

I apologize to everyone for being a schmuck last week, I was really hoping we could get it done. With the exception of one or two things, I think everything that could've gone wrong did go wrong, so I'm sorry for that too. Hope this week is going better for you.

I Have A Wii

2007-07-17T00:16:00.001-04:00

Well, I bought a Wii. It's pretty fun. I've never had to streatch before playing video games before. Pretending to box is more work than you'd think. I'm still working on getting more controllers, because it's definitely more fun with more people. They're pretty expensive though, so it's kinda slow going. Plus there's a bunch of games I need too, like Zelda, and Paper Mario, and Wario Ware, and Raving Rabbids, and Mario Party. Super Smash Bros. and Guitar Hero will be out later this year... I need a raise. So I'm having to decide if I'd rather get another Wiimote or another game when I get paid Thursday. I don't have any solid single player games right now. I do have the internet though, so I can watch Homestar Runner on the TV. And stream Mae's new single off of PureVolume. It's good. What ISN'T good at all is that I actually only have one Wiimote right now, because I broke one last night. :`( I was in a fierce boxing match, and I threw a punch that caused my Wiimote to hit into the Nunchuck attachment, breaking the Wiimote's tilt sensor. So I have to get that replaced...
Other than that I work. Although I will post a marshmellow gun post soon. And a homeless bum's union post.

Weird...

2007-07-02T19:10:00.001-04:00

I went to Target today. And I went to the gas station today. And nothing weird happened...

A Stupid Old Man

2007-06-10T14:33:00.000-04:00

Ok, so... here's a story. It's a little old, but that's ok. I go to get gas right, and being the person I am, I've waited until my gas gauge is below empty to go get it. I'm on my lunch break at work, I roll into the gas station across the street, and I find that there's only one availible pump. One pump, which is being blocked on this side, by a minivan fueling on my left, and a car to the right, which has pulled up past the pump it's beside and turned slightly to the left, causing it's rear right corner to jut out and seal off any passage down the middle. This annoys me. So I sit there, waiting for this car to move. Well, it doesn't. This old man climbs out, and he's a very funny looking man. There is no definition between his chin and his neck, so it almost looks like his mouth simply rests on his throat... creepy. Other than that, he looked almost exactly like Michael Caine. Well, he wanders around, and looks at that jutting corner of his car. And that's when I notice that his gas tank is on the wrong side. So I figure he'll pull around now. No. No he won't. He opens the tank, goes to the pump, and gets the nozzel. Well, it won't reach. So he pulls, leaning into it, and streaches the hose out until he finally gets it in the tank upside down, and walks over to put in his credit card. I sit there. You've got to be kidding me... While he picks his gas grade, the nozzel falls out of the car. I roll my eyes, and attempt to squeeze my car through the narrow gap. I fit, just barely, but I was so tired of just sitting there watching this idiocy that I wouldn't have cared much about trading some paint. I get to the pump and climb out of my car, and I see the old man is attempting to put the nozzel back in. I think to myself that I really need a picture of this idiot. So I pull out my phone. See above. Well, the man has the nozzel in, and begins pumping. But it's not in far enough, and doesn't open the inside seal of his gas tank. So he stands there, pumping, and the gas begins to run down the side of his car. It splatters his pants legs, it soaks his shoes, it pools on the ground. And yet he stands. Finally the woman from the minivan shouts at him "Sir! Gas!" He starts, and then releases the nozzel. I sigh, pump my gas, and flee the scene.

Happy Birthday Marcy

A Bad Omen

2007-05-15T00:28:00.000-04:00

I went to Walmart earlier, and was met by a strange string of happenings. As I returned to my car, I saw two Nissans, a truck and an SUV, both the same shade of yellow and parked in a line, one behind the other. It was then that I knew the evening was... unnatural. As I climbed into my car, I saw a man, an undercover policeman and doppelganger of Geraldo Riviera. He ran in front of me, putting his cart away before climbing in a blue SUV and speeding off. I was feeling uneasy, and my iPod began playing Astrolounge by Smash Mouth, which only seemed to make things worse. Driving home, I bounced down the back roads at a good clip, but it was not long until a battered truck was riding six inches off my bumper and shining his brights into my rearview mirrors at every bump. I tried to kill him, and although I came close three or four times, I failed. I finally made it home after one last commendable attempt at his life, one that sent him swerving into the oncoming lane, and now here I sit, watching, wondering. It's been a strange night. I don't know what will become of me. I don't know what will become of anyone. All I know is... soon.

Today's The Day

2007-05-06T00:04:00.000-04:00

The worst day of my life. I have been slowly suffocating for a full year now... I can't believe I was so stupid.

So, I Have A Job Now

2007-05-03T20:42:00.003-04:00

I finished the 500 Heads Trailer DVD. They cost 5 bucks. I'm writing the edits for the whole film now. I'm looking at buying materials to build the props, sets, and costumes. I might not be able to afford them. I'm doing cool things with the video of Karla & Asa's wedding. I have to buy shirts today because I now work in an office. In Laurel. I'm probably going to move there soon. After I buy a car. U'm qodduwq i xuved vulowco. The company I work for designs antennas. Not for bugs. For aliens. They have a contract with NASA. But I don't design antennas. I do random stuff. And work in marketing design. It's ok. The pay is alright. The benefits are good. I'm tired.

A Day

First bike ride of the year today! It was almost a nice day, but not quite. Maybe spring is just around the corner...

Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

God help me learn.

My Friend

2007-03-13T00:04:00.000-04:00

Much to the annoyance of any of you my friends who still use dial-up internet, I am only allowing the following picture to be viewed at it's grandest and longest-loading size. But it is important you be able to see my cute little buddy, and see him closely. You see, he needs a name. And how can you make any good suggestion without being able to look right at his adorable and featureless metal face, hmm? You can't, obviously. So go ahead, click the link, eat a few York mint patties, and then leave a nice comment with a good name for a critter so fantastic as this one.

My friend!

RIP

a big ugly centipede-lookin bug jsut crawled up the side of my compy desk and was headed for the keyboard. as i knocked it to the floor i remembered that i hadn't seen my little beetle friend that looks like a baby cocroach tonight. He is usually always crawling around by my feet. i felt uneasy about the centipede that i couldn't see somewhere on the floor and when i went to look for it i saw mr. beetles instead. my heart sank as he lay there belly up and not kickin. *sniff* And i refuse to be friends with that many legged grossnes!

To me,
Coming from you,
Friend is a four letter word.
End is the only part of the word
That I heard,
Call me morbid or absurd,
But to me,
Coming from you,
Friend is a four letter word.

I have fallen to my knees
As I sing a lullaby of pain
I’m feeling broken in my melody
As I sing to help the tears go away
Then I remember the pledge you made to me

I know you’re always there
To hear my every prayer inside
I’m clinging to the promise of a lifetime
I hear the words you say
To never walk away from me and leave behind
The promise of a lifetime

Well the more you try to shave the cat
The more the thing will bite and scratch
It's best I think to leave it's fur
And to listen to it's silky purr

I had something else to say, but now that distracted me and I forget.

I skip over the link to Katie's blog. I used to go down my list and check each link. Then I got to clicking it, realizing she has obviously not updated, and hitting the back command before it loads. No more. As of today, I don't bother clicking the link. I think perhaps we should have a memorial service for it. So next wednesday, everyone post an excerpt from your favorite memory of Katie's Blog.

Driving with the windows down. It just feels so good. If it was more than 40º it would be even better, but it was still good. It's like a latté, really. They're both good, but you can tweak it to make it better. Like so: Nice car, Warm weather, Pretty girl, Good music, Windows down is roughly equal to a Venti Raspberry Breve Whip White Mocha. So I got a Tall 2% Whip White Mocha, aka a ride in my junky car, in the cold, with no girl, but good music and windows down. But as you can see, that's better than a Tall Cup Of Air. It was good. Although now I do kinda have my buds up for a Venti Raspberry Breve Whip White Mocha... in a nice car... warmer weather... pretty girl... good music... with the windows down... it'll happen someday :)

Today Sucks

2007-02-06T02:26:00.000-05:00

I don't remember much about that night
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died
I thinked it rained, I think it rained
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died

You and I were always closest friends
It's women who make enemies of men
A pretty face, a pretty face
A pretty face would one day do me in

Her eyes are like the winter when she goes
Holding secrets only winter knows
Winter knows, winter knows
'Cause winter's seen the wolves in womens' clothes

She came to me in middle afternoon
We held each other close the whole night through
Love is blind, love is blind
I didn't see her let you in the room

Someone always wins
And then they write the book
I see my defenses thin

A gunshot was the only word you said
And my defenses, they all came out red
Love went red, love went red
She left with you, you left me lyin' dead

And I watched her as you put me in the dirt
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt
I went numb, I went numb
'Cause I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt

I think it rained I think it rained
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died

If that's the case, I'm going to practice this talent so I can chaperone szzznap!down people from accross the room. Keep you hands to yourselves! Szzznap! Heh heh... this could be good.

A New Film

2007-01-28T14:38:00.000-05:00

It's been a long time.

Well, as some of you know, I have written a screenplay. It's entitled "500 Heads" and explores the world of a man named Alexander, who is the Executioner in the court of King Rourke. I think it's pretty good, and I'm currently beginning the writing on the sequel. But for the most part that's old news. To me anyways. What's exciting and new is that I've taken out a couple hundred dollar loan and am attempting to shoot a trailer for the film, which will then be entered in a contest. So I have 2 weeks. Of course, since I'll have it made, it will make it's way to google video for your viewing pleasure. I'm also hoping to get accounts with YouTube and possibly a few other video-type sites, podcasting is a thought... But anyway, should any of that occur, I'll let you know. I should have some more time to work on it, you may have noticed below...

Um, ok, other stuff... I'm trying to get more backstage passes to see Audio Adrenaline, in PA this time. It should be a lot of fun. Oh, and I'll be playing drums at a 5SS show the night before, so that's cool too. I'm having to track all the drums for our album again, since we decided we want to try a different mic setup. But it should be cool, I'm pretty excited about the album. I've been doing a lot of writing lately too, so our next album might start to shape up quicker than this one. We shall see.

Staples

Cause it hasn't been that long
Since you almost hit the tree.
Cause it hasn't been that long
Since you hit the pole because of speed.

Do you remember
The ambulance it took you there?
Do you remember
They cut your pants your favorite pair?
They shaved your head
Where's all your hair?

The doctor said
"We need some staples for his head"
The doctor said
"Another foot you could be dead"
The doctor said
"We need some staples for his head"
The doctor said
"You should have took the bus instead"

All you could hear
Was KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK!
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk
All you could hear
Was KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK KA-CHUNK!
All you could hear
was the doctor putting staples in this punk!

This Week The Trend

2006-11-30T14:26:00.000-05:00

Well, since people seem to like to read poetry around here, here's a short something I wrote (Katie said I could!). It's an ode. Which may or may not really be a poem. I dunno.

Ode to a Cloud, Wait No, Ode to the Wind.
A cloud, white, but with the potential to be red, orange, or purple, depending on the sun. Struggling to stay aloft, although one can't always tell until it is seen to perspire. In the shape of a teddy bear, no, an oversized garden gnome, covered in shaving cream, and entirely sick of living next to the cement frogs and yard flamingoes. A cloud, risen from the ponds and streams, from the oceans and lakes, as if to purposely put a kink in my neck, denying me the comforts of looking across or down. Choke and die, you fluffy tormentor! I watch you stretch and distort in the wind, and I will laugh at you as you dissipate. All hail the wind.

Clouds?

Oh yeah, this is post 75 on this blog for me. Only 25 more to go.

I'm Not Alright

If weakness is a wound
That no one wants to speak of
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
And I am not immune
I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall

Can I lose my
Need to impress?
If you want the truth
I need to confess

I'm not alright
I'm broken inside
Broken inside

You're never alone
And even though you may feel discarded
Well you've got a home

Dead End Moon
Oh my lonely heart
Oh my souless girl
Will you ever let me go?
I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimless
I just want to find a cure
To my growing weakness
You're my only weakness
I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimlessly
I just want to find a cure
To this infernal sadness

Hallelujah
Well I hear there was a secret code
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
A baffled king composes Hallelujahs

I Need You, The End
Can't you see I need you?
Can't you see I need you?
Can't you see I need you?
Can't you see I need you?
I need you, the end

A Year Ago

2006-11-06T13:41:00.000-05:00

One year ago today was a good day. I got to make a choice, and I made it. I chose the path that would bring me to this miserable condition in which I currently live. I chose the path that would break friendships I had, maim the ones that survived, permanantly scar my relationship to my family, cut my heart into ribbons, and again, and again, and again, ultimately seperate me from my church family, and worst of all lose the one I made the choice for. I am a broken and hollow specter of what I was a year ago. But I made a choice. A choice for love. And I stand by that choice, if I could have that day over I would do it exactly the same. Today is a hard day. Pray for me.

My New Blog

2006-11-05T22:25:00.000-05:00

I now have a blog for my various rants and "sermonettes" on various issues that high school and college age people such as myself seem to face. So sasquatchcola is blog is about my life and the events and feelings therein, this new blog is like my "Editorial Column". This week I put up a post on the Christian position on homosexuality and homophobia, and I'm going to try and put up a new essay each week (no promises, try was the key word), so come over and leave a response, perhaps we can get some good discussion going. You can get the link in my sidebar or just click here: take2houseplants.blogspot.com

Oh My God

2006-10-30T14:39:00.000-05:00

Look around this place
Fingers reach around the bone
You set the break and set the tone
Flights of grace and future falls
Present pain
All fools say, "Oh my God"

Oh my God, why are we so afraid?
We make it worse when we don't bleed
There is no cure for our disease
Turn a phrase and rise again
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friends
Oh my God

Oh, thou scared me! And my hiccups are cured! Thank thee stranger.

Thou art now as strong as an ox and twice as good looking. That is good.

Pardon me, good folk, but dost thou have the time? I thank thee very much indeed.

Then may thy ears become cabbages and thy toungue a sausage. A little courtesy never killed anyone.

I'm Jena. If thou meets my husband, tell him that my father's name was Ruffles.

If Jena sent thee, tell her I would not name our dog Ruffles for all the Dragon's gold in Alefguard.

Also, thou shoulds't make haste to yon Sasquatch Cola Page, for lo, thou mayest behold the Michael Cook Show Theme, and purchase yon tunics and steins!

Audio Adrenaline Concert

2006-10-09T19:46:00.000-04:00

The concert was awesome. I got to go backstage and meet Ben and Will, the drummer and bassist of Audio Adrenaline, as well as Phil Wickham and Mercy Me. Ben gave me a drum head, and he and Will signed a bunch of stuff for me. The concerts themselves were awesome, Phil was pretty good, AudioA always puts on an awesome show, and I got to go up on stage during Beautiful. Then Mercy Me was ok, but they did two really awesome things. The first was they randomly started playing "I'm Not The King" (an old AudioA song) after one of their songs. Then later the did a cover of "Tremble", another Audio Adrenaline song. So I was glad I didn't just leave after AudioA. What wasn't awesome and sucked very much was the same thing that sucked very much at the Jars of Clay show I went to a bit ago, someone who should've been there wasn't for some very absurd and ridiculous reasons which I shall not detail here. I'm still very upset about that... Well, I have to get back to displaying my autographed materials... Have some pics:

There's a lot of good stuff there, including some cheap and awesome steins. There'll be some commercials for the merch going up soon, so check it out, and check often. I'm hoping that by next week it'll have some really awesome stuff up. I'm pretty excited, so tell all your friends and let me know what you think of the site!

The End

2006-09-22T00:01:00.000-04:00

I feel cold. Not a goosebumps kind of cold, a meaner, more death-like cold. Like the kind you get when you have a fever through the roof. I can feel a heartbeat, but it seems inverted, like it's coming from the outside. I wonder if I'm dead? If there's some other pulse, stirring in me and moving my fingers... I never thought that death would be like this. Or maybe I did. I guess I just wanted it to be simpler, you know?

Oh, thou scared me! And my hiccups are cured! Thank thee stranger.

Thou art now as strong as an ox and twice as good looking. That is good.

Pardon me, good folk, but dost thou have the time? I thank thee very much indeed.

Then may thy ears become cabbages and thy toungue a sausage. A little courtesy never killed anyone.

I'm Jena. If thou meets my husband, tell him that my father's name was Ruffles.

If Jena sent thee, tell her I would not name our dog Ruffles for all the Dragon's gold in Alefguard.

Also, thou shoulds't make haste to yon Sasquatch Cola Video Page, for lo, thou mayest behold the Michael Cook Show Theme!

Surprise

2006-09-07T15:09:00.000-04:00

Shoot a dream in your arm and sleep away
Not the stuff that kills you that keeps your life at bay
Every crash pulls you in reach
Of a watershed of signal flares that cover your beach
These are just placebos to make us feel alright
Illiusions in our pockets to make our feathers float us high
For a second I thought I saw your eyelids rise
A moment something restless caught you by surprise
Surprise, surprise

School Starts Tomorrow :(

2006-08-27T14:54:00.000-04:00

So...

Also, this thing doesn't let me type out really long answer choices, so I abbreviated Jimmy Rocket & the Finite Sky and Sasquatch Cola. Just in case you were wondering what JR&TFS was.

It's the breathing that's taking all this work

So I Went To The Beach Awhile Back...

2006-08-20T22:42:00.000-04:00

Actually before that Jars of Clay concert... But anyways, it was pretty slow, except we did get to stop and ride a SeaDoo on the way at Dennis & Yoshi's place, and we got kayaks the last day in NC. So... here are a few pics.

Me on the SeaDoo

Again with the Sea Doo, and they actually don't have the same name..

Jars Of Clay

2006-08-06T22:47:00.001-04:00

I went to an awesome Jars of Clay concert yesterday. Their new album is going to be pretty cool, if this show was any indication (also, the Mini Monsters EP is pretty darn good too). I got the set list, and my inflatable guitar signed. We were front row, and it was a good time, although Maryland seems to have problems really getting into the show... *sigh* embarrasing. Also, I have some major guilt issues hanging over me in regards to the whole event... I feel really bad about that, I'm sorry. But it was a good show, and I got some really cool stuff. Yeah, end on the upbeat. Here be some pics:

Apologies

2006-08-05T18:43:00.000-04:00

Well, I'm back from vacation, and I see that Google has uploaded the new video. I was also rather annoyed to see that they once again put it up with no sound. So I apologize to those of you who went and watched it in it's damaged form. I am going to attempt to upload it again, and I'll let you know when there's a working version you can watch. In the meantime, go read my other posts that you haven't commented on and let me know you're here.

Christmas in July

2006-07-27T19:24:00.000-04:00

"Greensleves"
as done by Kevin Max

Alas, my love, you do me wrong,
To cast me off discourteously.
For I have loved you well and long,
Delighting in your company.

Your vows you've broken, like my heart,
Oh, why did you so enrapture me?
Now I remain in a world apart
But my heart remains in captivity.

Greensleeves was my heart of joy
Greensleeves was my delight,
Greensleeves was my heart of gold,
And who but my lady greensleeves.

I am going on a vacation to the beach sadly enough. There may be an internet hookup there, so I might be in touch, might not. I should return, unless my plan to rent a kayak and then commandeer a ship with which to pillage and sink Disney Cruiseliners actually works out. Any pirates out there who want to watch Winnie the Pooh sink into cold black oblivion, leave me a comment (sorry, no women or cats allowed. terrible bad luck).

Oh, and guess what? I have finally uploaded a brand new video to Google Video! They probably won't have it up for a few days yet, but it's coming. If I can get online, I'll let you know when it's up, but make sure to check the link on my sidebar in case it's there. It's called "Watchin' A Video" and it's a little comedy short. I like it.

I Do Not Hate Cats

2006-07-24T22:02:00.000-04:00

I chased a cat down with my car today, and while I could have run it over, I did not. See, I do not hate cats. Also, I ripped the skin off of my left middle finger at work. Last week I got my left first finger with a saw while cutting limbs off a tree, and my left ring finger is not looking forward to next week. In fact, it's considering a move to my right hand. We'll see what happens.

Dragons!

2006-07-21T14:03:00.000-04:00

So I drew these dragons to be the logo for my Dagorhir unit. And then I put them in my computer and mesed around with them. Let me know what you think. And which color you think the logo should be.

Oh, also, I notice this is my 50th post...

So it's been a few days since I've posted, but you know, I don't think that's any good reason to send me hate mail. I don't need you to burn down my house or shoot my dog or steal my iPod to make a post. You don't need to slit my fingertips or keelhaul me or punch through my chest and pull out my lungs. Please stop threatening me. Stop threatening my things. Stop listening to Disturbed. Next time you all march around my house with signs and pitchforks chanting about posts, I'm getting out the fire hose. You have been warned. I'm a person too, I have a life that is bigger than writing this blog. If you're really that bored, go play with the pizza button. Oh, and drink Sasquatch Cola.

My Goal

2006-06-19T01:48:00.000-04:00

Ok, so my goal is now: Survive through Kingsfest. Because I figure if I don't die before Kingsfest, I'll die sometime afterwards.

(this next part really has next to nothing to do with the previous statements)

We had the annual meeting this weekend, and that was pretty good. It was somewhat lacking as far as annual meetings go, but overall not too bad. The services themselves went well, we had Elder Shafer form Texas preaching for us. We young folks hung out and that was fun, mostly we played air hockey and got coffee and went all Prince of Persia on the columns at Starbucks, but we did do some theological brain-bending over matters such as regeneration, Holy Spirit/Ghost, the Trinity, ect. It was a pretty good time. I also always come away from the communion service feeling fresh and more zealous, although it sometimes isn't particularly joyous having examined myself and seeing all the ways I fall short. It's still a struggle, honestly more so now.
In other news, I keep promising a new Sasquatch Cola commercial, and as of yet I have not delivered you people one. Apologies. There are probably 15 of them scattered around on the drawing board right now, I just haven't rounded up the cast and crew and filmed anything yet.
Today, I have done a lot of crying. Between Homestar Runner and Ask A Ninja, I have laughed myself to tears many many times. Anyone who doesn't know what I mean by that, do yourself a favor and check it out. So good...
As far as me and Marcy go, for those of you who are wondering how I'm holding up, it's not easy but it's going. We talk now, actually we have talked a lot. Not as much as I'd like, and not the way that I'd like, but I guess it's better than not talking. It is so hard being around her without being able to be near her. Sometimes I catch myself trying and have to step back. Yesterday was one of the worst days in a while, very awkward. I know if I can't get this in order by Kingsfest I'm gonna be a total basketcase, so I don't have much choice but to keep trying to adjust. Yes, that is what brings on the title. But I will say one of the harder things is that I can't talk to her the way we used to, I can't pour my heart out there and make her really know how I feel. I know she's been kinda confused by the way I've been, I get grouchy and stupid and sarcastic and quiet, and she tends to blame herself for it. Then I feel bad, and I wish I could excuse us for a moment and give her a hug and remind her that it's not her it's me, and that I do want to be her friend. But instead I just get feeling more and more awkward. I guess, I'm kinda hoping she reads this. And I'm sorry. I don't know how many times I'm going to have to apologize for behaving like a complete jerk before she gives up talking to me at all, but Marcy I really am sorry. And while it hasn't been easy for me, I have felt much more at peace and happy since we have began talking again. I'm sorry I'm bad at showing it.
Wow, anyway, uh... back to... other stuff... um... I'm the Prince of Persia. Yeah.

This is me:

Some Pictures and a Quiz!

2006-06-14T00:19:00.000-04:00

Ok, so here are some pictures of the happy little train I made for Abby, Joe and Emma (also Jon, apparently, but darn he's HEAVY). It sadly can't off-road with all that weight in it, and the headlight doesn't stay on too good, and the rope it thin enough to really mess up your hands when you try to pull it, but it's a happy little train. And the kids seemed to like it, so I was happy about that. They are the sweetest kids, I must say, and I don't even really like kids most of the time. But anyways, here be the pics:

In other news, my neighborhood is really creepy around 2:00am. But it's fun to walk around and take pictures. See:

I'm Still Alive Again

2006-06-11T15:32:00.000-04:00

I still have my extreme ups and downs, but I'm making it. Although the rest of my life seems to be slipping now too... argh. I haven't gotten my grades yet, but I have a bad feeling they aren't what I was expecting, I know one of them was definitely not stellar, and now I'm worried about the rest. My boss left work last week, so now I have a new boss, and he's pretty cool and all, but it sorta reminds me that I need to find something new to work at too. I do not like my job. I think there's something else stressing me out too, but I can't even remember right now. But I'm still breathing, if barely.
On a lighter note, I went to Ocean City with mom and James for the weekend, and that was fun. Me and James made a sinkhole to try and capture irritating lifeguards and/or bikini girls. We left before anyone fell in though. Oh well. It was cool though, it was like a four foot hole that we filled up with loose sand. Muahahaha! See, this is what happens when the water is too cold for swimming...

7 or 1 (666)

2006-06-06T23:49:00.000-04:00

Today is an evil day. Not only is it 6/6/06 (and that's pretty evil), but today would be Marcy and my seven month anniversary. But no. By some wicked twist of fate, today is exactly one month since we broke up. On our six-month anniversary. Anyone else find this sick and disturbing? Cause I do. Argh.

This Is Your Life

2006-06-03T02:11:00.000-04:00

A Switchfoot song I've been listening to and thinking a lot about. It's very true.

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken
Don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Yesterday is a kid in the corner
Yesterday is dead and over

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes
Don’t close your eyes

This is your life are you who you want to be?
This is your life are you who you want to be?

This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed it would be
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose?

No. No it isn't. Not hardly. But seeings as how today is all I'll ever have, I am trying.

She Makes Me Crazy

2006-05-31T23:36:00.000-04:00

I feel so bi-polar... I should be happy, or maybe not, but... argh, something. I don't know. I promised myself I was done. I need to sleep for like a month. Curse work. Hours upon hours of mindless grunt work. That equates to me thinking about things I don't need to be thinking about right now. I just need not to think. It would be awesome to be a mindless shell for a while. I'm trying to come up with something other than drugs to throw all my time into...
Ugh. Hope screws me over every time. I'm so close and yet so far, it's going to make my head fall into pieces. I seriously need to not work tomorrow. But I will anyway. Ugh. Anyone want to pay me to stay home and sleep?
I went to the barber yesterday. He said that my hair is a bad length for me, and that it either needs to be really short or long, because quote "you have cowlicks all over your frikkin' head" end quote. Cowlicks are the least of the things wrong with my head. I didn't tip him.

2006-05-29T14:45:00.000-04:00

Having talked with Marcy a bit yesterday, I am feeling considerably more at peace with things. Still extremely mixed-up, and right now I miss her a lot, but I do feel better than I have in a while.
To recap some news you missed whilst I've been really depressed, I'm out of school now. The band has been practicing again, and me and Colvin jammed with Craig some, which was fun. We're learning some different songs, which is cool since our band generaly doesn't play very many cover songs. I'm going to attempt to get up some more Sasquatch Cola commercials soon (it's been entirely too long, I know).
I'm also trying to get together a pair of short films to be put out by Sasquatch Cola as well, but those are both in pretty early phases, so it will be a while before you can watch them, although I'll try and get you a trailer or two to tide you over.

Some Days

2006-05-26T00:43:00.000-04:00

Some days I feel like crying. Some days I feel like hibernating. Some days I feel like shooting myself in the face with a pneumatic nail gun. But I hate math everyday. This whole week has been sloping downhill, and I'm bracing for impact at the bottom.

I don't know

2006-05-22T22:15:00.000-04:00

Today has been something of a rollercoaster. I woke up pretty lonely, and sorta laid there and thought about things a while. Then I got up, made a quiz, did some other random stuff, and was fine. But mom and I took Kathryn to physical therepy this evening, and I was sitting in the car waiting for them and just spaced out. And for a minute or two, I was back in one piece. I could feel her body in my arms, her head resting on my cheek, her heartbeat in my heart. Of course when I snapped back out of it, I broke again. Right now I'm kinda in between. I don't know. This whole thing is rediculous.

Death of MOC

2006-05-13T22:37:00.000-04:00

In case you missed this on the now-deceased Matching Orange Cows blog, read and do:
I want to say that this is very hard on both of us. Marcy is hurting. So any of you that are my friends, you will be the best friends she could ever want. Be a shoulder to cry on, be someone to talk to, someone to laugh with. I need you all to cover the wounds that I can't anymore. Give her a call, ask her how she is. And don't tell her any stupid things about "moving on" or "more fish" or any of that. For one, it's too early, and for two, no one really wants to hear that. Be sympathetic. Let her know she's not alone, she has friends that care.

Ugh

2006-05-13T00:39:00.000-04:00

Today I've been busy. Colvin helped me with one of my projects, and that was nice. It's going to be pretty cool when it's done, but all these papers and projects are stressing me out. And I feel heavy. My heart just seems to be sinking all the time. I love her so much, I don't understand why things go wrong. I mean I know the reasons we are apart, but I... ugh. It's just so wrong. I don't know how something so good and so wonderful can just crumble and fall apart. I thought love was supposed to be strong, I thought if it was real it couldn't be broken. Well, I'm not willing to be broken yet. This has to be a phase, it just has to be. Because I know it was real. And I'm not ready to give up faith in love yet. I'm just sad, sad and heavy-hearted. But I swear if I go down, it won't be because I didn't pour out everything I have.

Despair

2006-05-11T15:56:00.000-04:00

That title makes this post sound like it's going to be really bad. But my point with it really is that while I'm still sad and depressed, that intensly suffocating sense of despair has faded. There are times when I am still desperate, still completely crushed and about done with everything, but those times seem to be less frequent then they were two days ago. Night time is still extremely hard, sleep just doesn't happen very much. I spend a lot of time laying there wrestling and praying, and thinking about what happened and hoping for what will. But I'm surviving the days fairly well. I still pull my cell phone out and get ready to write text messages, wonder if she's made it over to the hospital yet, wonder how work went, wonder if she's ok. I miss her so badly. But the despair is going away. So see, that's good right?

I'm still alive

2006-05-10T17:33:00.000-04:00

just so you all know. I don't feel that way much anymore, but I'm pretty sure I am. I was going to say something else, but I changed my mind.

14one

2006-05-09T21:19:00.000-04:00

Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

I was doing ok today. I was. But now I'm sick. Emotionally and physically. I feel nautious, I have chills, my head hurts, I can't eat. I don't know what to do with myself. I talked to Marcy for about 2 hours today. She's hurting too, and that kills me. I don't want her to hurt. I want her to be happy. I wish she could be happy with me. We could both be happy. But she doesn't love me. We did get that out. Any hope I had for later on is pretty well dead. I don't know how to survive this without her. If I was going to have pain like this, if say someone else broke my heart and I felt like I was dying or dead, she's the one I would go to. She's my best friend. She knows me better than my own family, she's been such a part of me, really for more than just the six months we were courting. I need her. I am beyond desperate. She would still be my friend, my best friend, but I don't know how to be her friend back. I still love her so much, I still want us to be together. I want to tell her I love her, I want to hold her, I want to be there for all the good times and all the bad ones. I want to make it through together. I want her to love me. But none of those things can happen now. And... I don't know. I feel pretty empty and worthless. I have stuff to do, but I've just stopped caring.

God, what have I done?

2006-05-08T10:49:00.000-04:00

She's all I care about, and I just gave up and now she's gone. It's dark, cold and rainy outside. But what hurts is that I'm dark, cold and rainy inside too.

Depression

2006-05-07T19:55:00.000-04:00

There are no more matching orange cows. I broke up with Marcy yesterday, and I feel miserable. I love her so much, I never wanted things to go like this. It just wasn't working. It's a sick and strange coincidence that we broke up on our six-month anniversary. Two weeks after that would've been the anniversary of our first date, and the day after that is her birthday. I had such big plans... this month should have been so special... I just don't understand what even happened. I'm really really depressed right now. So if you don't hear from me for a while, that's why. That, or I ate a few bottles of pills, one of those.

Tea Bags

2006-05-02T02:00:00.002-04:00

That's right, our next line is going to be herbal teas. The mixes will of course include real sasquatch fur that you brew in your tea ball. Drink Sasquatch Oolong. Yum! The new blog will be up soon. (sasquatchoolong.blogspot.com)

Well, let's see. I wrote a song about my roomate's laptop last night. He's over here trying to hold the door closed right now, some girls are trying to break in... I'm just laughing at him. I think I'll post the lyric on here a bit later. I find it amusing. I called it "A Pack A Day" because, um, well it's open to interpretation.

I've been in a bad and depressed mood since last Friday. No, make that last Wednesday. But I've finally decided I'm not going to be anymore. It isn't quite that simple, but for right now I'm gonna pretend that it is. There is church tonight (not now, like in 19 hours, but that's still tonight since it's already Wednesday) and that's going to be happy.

In other news, Tyler Burkum is doing some solo work now. He's the guitarist for Audio Adrenaline, for those of you who are unfortunate enough not to know. Check out his MySpace page. Dave Douglas (drummer for Relient K) is also doing a solo project check his stuff out here.

And lastly, the entire first paragraph of this entry is completely false. Have a good rest of your life. Peace.

A Couple Things

2006-04-24T22:39:00.000-04:00

So I have added links to Daniel's blog, as well as my new-found friend, the Pizza Button. I used it for the first time on Saturday, it was pretty sweet. So check those out.
Of Couple Things: Marcy has posted on MOC again, so go over there, read it, and leave her some love (not too much though, or I will find you and you don't want that). Also, I'm not sure I'm going through with the big surprise I mentioned before, but I might. I don't know. It might be a bad idea. But I really want to do it.

So me and Colvin went bowling on Friday, which we haven't done in forever, but it was kinda a bummer because Philip skipped out on us. Bowling is not a really good activity for only two people. So we bowled one game and got coffee. Then we jammed awhile on Saturday, used the pizza button, and busted out the old N64 and Lego Racers. That was cool. We played Mario Party 7 with Katie on the Gamecube, and found some cool Jars Of Clay CDs I didn't know I had. So that was excellent. It was a pretty good weekend, me and Colvin don't get to hang out so much anymore, mostly because we have prettier things to play with now. So I guess I can't complain. But it was fun.

Groovy!

Endless Love

2006-04-17T01:06:00.000-04:00

Ok, so actually I did go see Marcy. Just a day later than I planned, thanks to my former virus. And that was nice, if short. Not the virus. That was rude and short. I was hanging out with James too, but he also was sick so we didn't do too much. But today I am alone again. And, being the pitiful sap that I am, I sit here and upload a nice picture of Marcy on MOC, and wish I could be back with her. Just sit there and hold her and breathe slow and kiss the top of her head and find out what it's like for the world to spin the right way for a while. So that's in my head. And then I go check on all the other blogs I check, and Joe has got this darn song playing on his by Luther Vandross, and now I might cry.

...

I gotta go...

I'm sick today

2006-04-13T23:01:00.000-04:00

This is highly not cool. I have a virus, and now I can't go see Marcy tomorrow. I am not happy about that. At all. I miss her. It's been way too long. That's worse than being sick. Ugh. Not that being sick is any fun.

New Friends

2006-04-09T16:37:00.000-04:00

I have added links to some new blogs on the sidebar... so thou mayest comment upon yon posts. Actually, comment on my posts first. Really do it. Now. Peace.

Long Live Sasquatch Cola!

2006-04-04T20:56:00.000-04:00

Yes, Sasquatch Cola commercial #4 is now availible for your viewing pleasure. This is probably the last of it's kind before we move to yet another tagline, seeings as how we've got to keep things moving around here. But anyway, it's a good one, so check it out. You can click the link in my sidebar to see all the commercials, or just click here to jump right to the new one. Peace.

:-)

2006-04-04T02:49:00.000-04:00

Gosh I'm in a good mood. I should be asleep right now, but that's ok. I'm really excited and almost hyper. I'm plotting a fantastic surprise for Marcy, and that's got my energy way up. I swear, she's the best ever. But this surprise is really, really good. I could probably say what it is here, since Marcy doesn't read this blog, but I won't. I'm not telling anybody, because it's a secret. But darn it, it's hard when I'm so excited. I can't wait.
I also had a good talk with Colvin, and I think things are going to be improving for everyone soon. There has been some amount of devision and miscommunication among the young people here recently (not that Colvin is responsible for it, he's just helping me out here) and I'm feeling good that some of us are working to fix things now. It seems like many of my problems are dissolving, and lots of good things are kicking into the next gear. I'm making money again, summer is coming fast, me and Marcy are closer and stronger than ever. And I have this awesome surprise planned... I'm grinning... a lot... this is going to be fun...
Well anyway, Sasquatch Cola commercial 4 should be up in very short order now, if Google keeps it's usual uploading pace. I'll give y'all a heads up when it goes live. But it should be soon. And it's good, I promise. So until next time, Peace.

So, things are looking a bit different here. Let me know what you think by commenting and, if you like, you may attempt my unorthodox poll. Poll!
Also, for those of you *ahem* who failed my first quiz on MOC, here is your second chance: Quiz Round 2. Keeping in mind that the point is not to get the correct answer, but the answer that I would put (except on the math question, of course). So good luck to the lot of you. Peace.

Bums, Olives, Bubbles

2006-03-24T01:19:00.000-05:00

Today/yesterday has been a rather interesting adventure. So Colvin and Elsa came over this evening, and we went out to find where we could buy some of those yard flamingoes (unsuccessfully, I might add) and Colvin wanted to buy a CD. So after we completed these errands (about 11 o'clock), we still didn't feel like going home yet, and the three of us decided to wander around the streets of Towson. So of course, we are approached by this bum asking for money. "Do any of you have some change? I'm trying to get some food." Colvin told him we didn't, and we didn't even feel at all bad about it, seeings as how he was standing outside a bar and reeked of alcohol. Food, right! Well, we wandered a little farther and then circled back to my car and returned to my house.
And then we decided to put different items in the microwave to see what would happen. Did anyone know that green olives make massive sparks if you microwave them? It's pretty crazy. They start to smell really bad too...
Once we ran out of microwave fodder, we moved on to burying my sink in bubbles and playing with those. Elsa and Colvin got some pretty big ones blown up, and Elsa made herself a beard. Or something like that. But there are pictures, you can figure it out for yourselves. Until next time, Peace.

Marcy Finally Posted!

2006-03-20T00:48:00.000-05:00

So you can go read it on Matching Orange Cows. It's not anything much, so don't get your hopes up too high, it's all of seven short sentences. But it's a start darn it, it's a start. Definitely check it out, hopefully she can post again sometime soon. In the meantime I'll try and keep you as entertained as possible (no promises though). I have noticed that there has been a dearth of new material coming out of Sasquatch Cola recently, but I will try and fix that while I am on break this week. I'll keep y'all posted on that front as well. Peace.

P.S. You may have to refresh the page on MOC to see the post. It's there though, I promise.

Prodigal

2006-03-18T02:12:00.000-05:00

So the other day I just sat down and wrote a song. I wrote the chorus first, and named it "Welcoming Me Back". Then I wrote two verses and a bridge and the melody. And then looking at it, I realized it was very much like a certain parable, and renamed it "Prodigal". It's one of the better song's I've written, I must say. It's a very personal song, which is hard for me to write sometimes, although I've been doing that more often in the past months. Well anyway, on the way home from the Church tonight, (ok, technically last night now) I suddenly thought of a third verse. I actually pulled my car over and got my laptop out and typed up this verse. And I'm thinking this is going to be a very good song. I feel like and I'm hoping the Lord is in it, and it certainly seems like he's been blessing the words to flow. I might put the lyric up here, or I might not, I haven't decided yet. But I will ask you all to pray for the band and the ministry we try to bring to people. I would love for God would use us in some way. Something's going on right now, and I'm just waiting to see what it is. Well, until next time, Peace.

Pictures!

CRIKEY! Would you have a look at that!

Creepy little picture.

Well I haven't posted in a couple days, but that's because I've been busy. Good kinda busy. I went and got James and Marcy and i got too hang out with them all day Friday for my birthday. We wandered the outdoor mall in Hunt Valley, went hiking, hung out by this little waterfall a while, had dinner at Chick-Fil-A, had coffee on the roof of Towson Mall (yeah!), got cake and ice cream, opened presents, went bowling, and watched the Michael Cook Show DVD. I got a new iPod, some bowling shoes, some money, a shirt, and a creepy little magnet for my birthday. So that was cool. Saturday was Marcy's friend Ellen's birthday party, so I went to that. It was pretty boring, but I did start a large brawl in the moonbounce, so that was cool. I also got to talk to my good friend Michael (who is also Marcy's brother) on the phone for a while. He is over in Iraq with the Infantry, so it was good to hear he was doing well. Right now I'm about to get some lunch and go to my lab. I'll put some more stuff and maybe some pics on Matching Orange Cows later. Til then, Peace.

It's My Birthday!

2006-03-08T00:07:00.000-05:00

Whoo! Happy Birthday to me! So anywho, you may have noticed the changes to my sidebar (and a big thank you to Joe for helping me figure out how to do that). If you didn't notice, it now holds assorted random quotes, very random, and it's also sporting some spiffy new links. So do yourself a favor and check out all these cool people's blogs, and all of the other marvelous nonsuch that is convieniently waiting just to your left. Peace.

Announcing: The Matching Orange Cows!

2006-03-07T00:08:00.000-05:00

What's that, you say? Well, it's a blog that I have set up for Marcy and me to post on. She probably won't be able to post a whole lot, and I'm keeping this blog up, so it'll be a little slower, but still good. I'm thinking that I might keep all the Sasquatch Cola updates exclusively on this blog and have MOC be a little more personal. If you're wondering what kind of drugs I'm on that spawned the name, check out the first post on the blog at http://matchingorangecows.blogspot.com/ and you're questions will all be answered. But before you do that, remember to comment on my last post here, and at some point check out the Sasquatch Cola music video, which is now up WITH sound. That's always a plus, no? See ya on MOC. Peace.

Love Is A Very Strange Thing

2006-03-02T23:25:00.000-05:00

It's true. Sometimes you feel it, sometimes you know it. And that's not the same thing. For example, I posted on here before about my visit with Marcy yesterday. While I was there and we were having fun and carrying on, I loved her and I could feel it. Anyone whose been in love knows what I'm talking about, that feeling of comfort and peace, that stupid grin that won't go away... yeah, see, you know what I mean. The "twitterpated" part from Bambi. I felt so good I knew it was going to hurt not to be close to her anymore once I left. But tonight I love her and I know it. We had a lengthy conversation on the phone, and it wasn't the smoothest or most enjoyable conversation we've ever had. But it's those conversations that make me realize that I'd burn for her. It's when everything isn't perfect that I prove to myself that this isn't something fragile that's going to fade away, that I realize if she's hurting I have to do everything I can do to make it better, even if it hurts me in the process. The happy little feelings and stupid grins weren't there tonight. But I know more strongly than I ever have that I love her. So that's my thought on that. OK, there may have been a little bit of the happy feelings and stupid grins, but that's beside the point. So anyway, that's all for now. Stop reading this and get on with your life. Move on. At least to another website or something. Peace.
