Whew sorry I waited till now to update... I got home from school yesterday evening... not much exciting really happened between leaving erin and then...
It's really a pretty lazy saturday afternoon/evening although I did get alot done today, Kenpo, D&D, Got my new glasses(yeA for me), got a haircut, got my new drivers license... I was definentally productive... I need to start Packing for New Orleans, i'm really excited about the trip.. although i'm not keep on going so long without seeing Erin, whenever I go that long I always get kinda sad.. Monday should be an easy day... but Tuesday I'm going to have to take the History and Lit Test that Dr. Norris said was hard...; and if Norris thinks it's hard then it must be insane..... Like I said it's sort of a lazy afternoon... I leave 4 am wednesday morning and get back late late late sunday night... So don't expect an update between there, unless I can manage to find some way to get internet access in New Orleans, maybe the hotel will have something... we'll have to see... Ok... I'm Yawing... Just thought i'd give you all a Hi, Hello, and Farewell...

Many Happy Returns on the Day...

A First for my happy little blog! I'm typing my brains to you from Shippensburg University... Here Celebrating my two year anniversary with my sweet little darlin' Erin.... We've had a very nice evening... A wonderful evening in fact... I love her so darn much, it's nice seeing her on a thursday... Unfortunatally I won't see her again untill the week AFTER I get back from New Orleans... In fact I'm going to take the moment to mention that I'm going to be leaving LVC to head home tuesday night, and I have to be at Dover High School at 4 A.M. I'm almost dreading having to go through Airport security.. If I was alone it wouldn't be too bad... But the fact is in total we'll have over 200 High Schoolers to deal with too... and Checking Baggage, and carry-ons.. and highened security... It's just going to be a crazy mess... Ummm... there isn't much else going on that I can think of... I haven't heard much on the war so I don't know if it's going on more hardcore than before... I don't know why i'm so obsessed with knowing exactly what's going on... Maybe because I think it bothers me how little most people seem to know about what's going on.. Like it's not going to effect them... War sucks... It's always sucks... No matter what ... Well we've just turned MSNBC on so we're going to go

WAR SUCKS... Don't believe the hype

Well, the war seems to be underway... nothing offical yet, but according to MSNBC things are more likely than not under way... scary stuff if you ask me, I can only wonder what the re-percussions of our governments actions will be.

On a much lighter note, and I HUGE relief to me. Dr. Mary Lemons sent me and E-mail confirming what I hoped was true... that I only need a 2.6 GPA to student teach... This makes me very very happy... Much Happier than you'd think something like that could make a person... this lifts the whole of my stress clean off my back... and over all makes me a happier person...

Now what could make me even happier than that you ask?
Well let me tell... It's the 20th of MARCH! I realize that doesn't mean much to you... But to me it means i've been with my Erin for a mighty two years!!! Yippie, And to make it even better I'm going to go to see her today, which makes me just about the happiest guy in the world! I so happy... Today is just a good day all around, minus the war... My glasses will be in "after 5" apperently, says Wal-Mart officials... So I guess I won't be getting them today, from the looks of things... Unless my parents get that phone call before I leave here... So if all Else I'll have to wait for tomorrow to get my nifty new specs.. Ohh so many good things are happening to me today... I like this day. Also yesterday I made some very succsessful sketches... Makes me very happy... If only I could be consistent with such things :) I guess there isn't much more for me to say right now... I'd like to thank everyone who actually reads my page for sitting and letting me blab... Feel free to leave comments so I know you've been here :) Even just a Hi would be appreciated.

Don't Harrass the Geezers Oi Oi Oi

Well I finally got to watch the last unicorn... It was alot like I remembered it when I saw it way back in the when.. and decided I'd like to read the book... The movie stuck very well to the book... but left to many small details out for my taste... The animation was similar too the original Hobbit cartoon which was cool.. Unfortunatally the music was similar too the original Hobbit cartoon as well. But it was bareable... bearly... ohh well... very enjoyable overall though... glad I took the 3 weeks I did, to download it... I'm going to try to pick up some of my drawing again... although i'm not very good at all... Practice Practice Practice right? I"m having a horrible day otherwise... I barely slept at all last night, and i've felt sick all day.. Slept through half of my classes... which certainly isn't going to help anything... I'm just so stressed it's rediculous... hopefully drawing and seeing Erin tomorrow will make me feel better... I hope they do anyway..... I think i've figured out what i'm getting Erin... but I'm not going to say... cause she might read this :) SORRY Babes!

Ok... Back to work... I'll let you know how the rest of tonight goes..

Oi Oi Oi

Yeah I know I didn't update again last night... and for this I most humbly apologize... I was up until 2:30ish working on my field show for Instrumental liturature and methods... I got it done no problem but probably couldn't have gotten it done a lot faster if I wasn't so easily distracted... I swear... I must have ADD or something.. I really can't concentrate at all... I think that's partially why my grades are so low... I have all this brain power but no motivation to use and focus it for more than a few minutes... I really wish I knew how to change that about myself... It would really help me out alot... I'm really stressed about my grades... And i'm starting to act like I did pre-erin... very hyper... really obnoxious... It bothers me greatly and I need to fix it post haste...

So I suppose we're almost down to about 24 hours till war with Iraq well... a little more than 24 hours... but it's close... I thought G dubya actually gave a pretty good speech last night... and that's a huge compliment from me because I don't really care for the man... I'm not super keen on a war either... I mean I think if we've learned anything of the years... that all wars do is kill alot of people.. No amount of fighting is ever going to add up to peace... I'm not saying I have a better solution... maybe peace is a jigsaw puzzle that's missing half the pieces... maybe it's something not about to be accomplished on a large scale in this world... and who knows about the next one.. if such a next world exsists... there is no way to know that either... but that's a whole different can of worms let me tell you...

I think my dear friend Lindsay deserves a good word from me... for commenting on just about every post I put up!!! That's more than I can say for the rest of you people!!! Although attendance has been down these last couple days... I blame myself for updating so irreguarly... Either way Thanks Lindsay!!!

It's only two days until my TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH ERIN!!! Two years is really really important to me... I won't get into exactly why... but just know i'm really excited about the two year mark... I haven't really gotten to talk to Erin more than 10 minutes or so since sunday... and if that's not a drag I don't know what is... but she's busy and i'm proud of her.... my big dillema is I don't know what to get her!!! Does anyone have any good gift ideas??? What would a super cute, wonderfully smart, and amazing girl want for her two year anniversary with a dopey, goofy looking guy whom loves her alot? I dunno.. if you do... let me know..

Ok... I'm almost done work here (annville free library) and I can head back to the dorm till about 8:30 for Jazz band... Maybe me and Melius will get to play Magic tonight.. but probably not.. I dunno... But if I don't stress out soon i'm going to go bonkers....

Ohhh... and the worst news of all... there is a possibility that CURT SIPE Is going to be teaching jazz studies lessons next year... I really don't know how I could deal with that... I really hope it doesn't work out because that would make my life really really miserable... Next year at school could be really bad...

Ok i'm going now.. just thought I'd let you know how much I don't want CURT SIPE for a teacher.. I dislike him and his teaching methods quite a bit...

Ok i'm out

TROGDOR STRIKES IN THE NIGHT!!! -- PS -- My TROGDOR high score is a mighty 2045... think you can beat it? www.homestarrunner/trogdor.html

Wow... It's been Way too long since I last updated for you all... You've probably stopped reading!!! Anyway, i'm back at school... which in some ways is less stressfull than being around my father who for whatever reason is so grumpy that he can enjoy nothing in life... On the other hand.. Being at school is quite stressful... My teachers have basically told me I have everything it takes to make a spectacular teacher... Except for one key thing... A good Grade Point average... Right now a 2.569 I need at least a 2.8 before my junior year or I won't be allowed to student teach... Frankly this sucks big time... As of mid-term my grades are definentally not up to this par... And I'm really starting to stress about it... Some of the problem is, i'm a horrible test taker... And 90% of all my Really important graded classes are based on tests.... So suck suck suck... that's me... I'm going to start e-mailing teachers seeing if I can do extra credit type work.. and maybe look into re-taking a couple classes... to try and get better grades... Although I hate to think of all the time I'm going to waste taking classes over again... So i'm kinda bumming about that...

I have to write 6 pages of marching drill for a project due for Doc tomorrow.. his class makes me the most angry because it's such crap busy work.. I hate having my time wasted... Kenpo was fun saturday.. D&D was hip too.. that brighted saturday untill I got home and had to deal with my father....

On almost the ONLY up note this week... Thursday will be 2 years for me and Erin!!! I'm so happy... I love her so much... I also ordered new glasses... so cool, so cool... It's been 4 years since i've gotten a new pair of specs... I can't wait for them to come... probably on thursday! Wow, thursday is such a cool day!!

I'm reading American Fuji.. A book I picked up at the book outlet while I was in Gettysburg, not the best I've ever read... but very insightful in what life is like in Japan... My favorite of all places i've never been... I dunno..

I'm still stressed about my grades... I just don't know how in the world I can get them up.. I'm such a poor student... and I don't mind addmitting that... but I wish the state would find a better way to produce good teachers... Good grades don't nessisarily make good teachers... Grr. It makes me so so mad.. Ok, i'm giving myself a headache... so i'm going to stop typing for a bit... but I will possibly update again later tonight... and i'll try to keep it up on a regular basis from here on out...

a week and a half till New Orleans! How spiff for me...

Get up, Get up, and Jam
