So, the weekend goes on. Friday I went down to RI with steve and dave. Fun was to be had by all, met some cool people and had some fun. Today I woke up and pretty much sat on my couch all day with nothing to do because I left in such a hurry yesterday I didn't have time to plan for the weekend. Then I went out to dinner with the family which was tasty. AFter that I finally got to go out for a bit. Went and hung out with a bunch of people like a usually do on saturday nights and we played magic...we're geeks I know, but hey it's better than getting arrested for doing drugs right?
So the evening now ends with me sitting here writting this entry, dreading having to go to work tomorrow, even though it is only for 4 hours. After that however I get to drive back to school, and look foreward to coming home again in another 3 days for thanksgiving break. God bless holidays.
I'm going to try and bring the digital camera with me this week to school so that I can get some pictures of myself as you have all requested onto my My Space. though I don't understand who in there right mind would want to see a picture of me but whatever.
anywho, that's all I have to say for now. Check back later. |

So here we are again, another friday. I get to come home agian this weekend to work...WOO. Tonight I think I'm going down to RI with Steve for a while since he has to come pick me up due to my dad havign to work insane hours. His job pays good and all but they beat the crap outta him when it comes to hours.
Anyway, the band is kicking into overdrive, all of us are eager to get a performance going, so we're working hard to learn and produce a good set list. This for me is exciting since in previous bands we never really had this kind of motivation. my problem is that I feel kind of bad because I have to continually go home on weekends which is making it difficult for us to get a full practice with everyone there. Anyway, hopefully we'll have our material together and be able to start recording some time around the new year and then get our butts in gear for a couple lives soon after.
Next week is Thanksgiving weekend so I get a nice 5 days off which is going to be amazing. Lots of R+R to be had. Then not to far off is going to be Christmas break. Definately looking foreward to a month off. Of course before I get that nice vacation I have finals to look foreward to :( ahh well.
For anyone interested I just recieved word from the Maskell's of Weymouth High, and the Variety Show will be held on April 6th.
Well anywho, off to do something before I have class again. |

So what can I say, College life is treating me pretty well. I'm enjoying myself for the most part. Classes are getting kind of hectic now cause it's getting closer to the end of the semester. Thankfully it's only a week and a half till thanksgiving break. Which is goig to be amazing.
I'm kind of mad at myself right now for doing something I swore I never would. I saw a picture of a certain someone the other day, and well those of you who know me can probably guess who that is. But well the feelings for this person that I thought I had finally done away with, all managed to resurface and well now that's all I've been able to think about lately. It's driving me crazy. Unfortunately I don't think I ever have a chance of getting back what I lost, and I don't want to be that obsessive person who keeps harping on lost affection. I blew the chance I had and well I think I'm just mad at myself for allowing this to bother me so much.
/end emo rant
anyway other than that current predicament my life is pretty good. I've made a lot of new friends here at school, and even grown closer with some old friends from home.
The new band is going very well, the recent addition of Dean our new drummer has been more than excelent. We've had a couple very enjoyable and productive practices and we're still working on lots of new material. With any luck hopefully by the end of the year (as in school year) we will have enough to put together a decent set list and play a few gigs. I'll be sure to let everyone know when/if that is going to happen I'm going to try and get in touch with HHY and see if we can get a Weymouth show together at some point so that will be great fun for all.
And at this point I'm tired of typing and am going to relax so peace. |

So this week has turned out so far to be not as bad as I was anticipating. After I got the work done on my engineering project sunday night, I was much more relaxed. Yesterday I got my physics exam back and I got a 71. Considering the class average was a 50 I think I'm doing alright. I felt bad cause the kid next to me had a 10.
Definately looking foreward to this weekend. I get to hang out with Dave and Stave again and we're going to Tewksbury for another mox tourney. It's gonna be another fun filled weekend. They're coming down friday night to chill in my dorm and we're heading out saturday morning since the place is only like 5 minutes away from my dorm.
Other than that I've decided to cancle my WoW subscription due to the lack of ability to play at all during the week. And I've taken up D2 again. Which is a very addictive and long lasting game. w00t.
New Bleach out today, so I'm looking foreward to watching that.
monday night was ok. I was never much into the whole halloween trick or treating thing so I opted insted this year to help out with a function my school runs call "Safe zone Trick or Treating" This is where they bring in all the younger children of lowell and let them trick or treat around the campus. Then at the end theirs a little party with games and stuff for them to play. It went very well I think. I was there for just under 4 hours but it was a good time.
That's all for now...stay tuned for the next broadcast. |

Ok so this week has turned out to be pretty busy as well, so I haven't been on to update in a bit. So here's how it goes.
Yesterday I had classes all day and water was coming down in waterfalls, so that made for a pleasantly wet day. After that, since I'm somewhat masacistic I decided hell why don't I go to the gym again today. So off I went with my friend neil to the gym. the workout went something like this
4 miles on the bikes
3 sets of lat pulls and bicepts at 80-100lbs
2 sets of ab things, which I'm not sure what they are but they hurt like hell
And all of that equals out to me pretty much not being able to move today. But since I'm a gluton for punishment I may make my way over to do a few miles on the bikes again today.
So after my punishement for the day, I got to go out with brian and neil. We went over to Brian's friend Jill's room. They're plan was to introduce me to Jill's roommate Daniel. Because well they want to help me not be single anymore. Daniel seemed like an awesome girl, very much my type, and quite attractive. But past experience has taught me not to get my hopes up anymore...because chances are that this won't work out just like everything else. But despite my best efforts, I am kind of hoping I can at least hang out with her again. (stupid craig **slaps self**).
Anyway, today I could barely get out of bed for calc, cause yeah well every muscle in my body hurts like hell. I have a physics test tomorrow that I have to study for very badly, and some calc HW I should probably look at. The good news is I got my english paper done already. w00t.
That's it for now... wish me luck with my test tomorrow and my love life too (cause we all know I need it on both accounts ^_^) |

So...this week was pretty hectic. I had quite a bit of stuff due and coming out of a very busy weekend means that I hadn't gotten anything done. But now we're back to the weekend again and it's been nothing but vegitation and video games for me. Or should I say video game, cause there really hasn't been much variety..just a lot of WoW.
Anywho I'd say it's been a ver relaxing weekend so far. Tomorrow we have Band Practice again after 2 weeks off. I'm excited cause hopefully we'll be able to finish the new song we were working on last time. Also we may have finally found ourselves a drummer which would be amazing. Because that would mean some serious praticing and maybe some lives... ^_^/ I'm excited.
next weekend I get to go home again to work, and hopfully hang out with some of the BG crew. Schuman and Kighton and the rest...you all know who you are.
And well with less than 2 weeks left till the tewkbury Mox tournament, I still don't know what the heck I'm going to be running. Hopfully steve will pull through with a good list. I would really ejoy doing well this time...unlike at waterbury. And as a kicker chris is coming with us. I've finnaly conviced him to play some competative MTG. w00t....GO NERDS!!!1

Bleach this week was amazing...and really all I can say is holy crap. for anyone mildly interested in anime this is an amazing series. Naruto was usless filler as usual. |

So yeah I'm trying to keep up to date with this thing again. Frankly I don't care how stupid people say this is, I find it incredibly stress relieving to just sit here and get all my days events down.
So...today was a pretty crappy day. Classes were all boring and long, plus I was exhausted from staying up too late last night. my fault I know...but it still didn't help. So then at the end of the day since no one was going to physics, and I've realized that simply going home to work on HW and not waisting my time trying to learn anything fro-m the idiot of a recitation instructor I have is better for me anyway, I decided to skip and come back and finish my engineering project. So then tonight when I was at my hall association meeting I asked someone from my class how it went, and aparently no one showed accept like 6 people so the friggin instructor gave a quiz. ARG how retarted is that. It wouldn't be so bad but i've done really badly on the previous 2 tests that I've taken (because I can't learn anything from that man. ) so anyway, that kind pissed me off. I'm gonna have to work my ass off now an assure that I do well on all of the tests.
I've been really into Midnight Club for the PSP lately, I've now gotten myself a tricked out Toyota Supra, and an '87 Chevy Belair (OMG). The graphics for the game are amazing and the car customization is perfect. All that on a portable.
Other than that the large portion of my free time (on weekends and such) has been taken up by my newest MMORPG addiction, World of Warcraft. What can I say, the game fixed all of the problems that I had with FFXI and well it's just fun. So that will be my game of choice for a while when I have a decent internet connection, which is really only possible during the weekend here at my dorm. Too many people on during the week and the connection gets congested.
So that's it for now...there is a large rucus in the hallway at the moment so, I'm hoping it dies down and I can sleep some time tonight. |

| HOLY CRAP HE"S UPDATING |
[Oct. 16th, 2005|09:49 pm] |
Ok so I haven't updated in a while...but that's really because nothing exciting has been going on. Until this weekend of course. Today I arrived back at school after my weekend in Waterbury Connecticut for the 7th Waterbury Mana Drain Open.
We went down on Friday afternoon after classes, which was at about 3:00 on a friday, trying to get on the Mass Pike. Bad Idea. However we arrived shortly after 7 and went out to dinner. After dinner preparations for the nect days tournament began. This lasted until 2 in the morning.
The Next morning upon waking up at 7:30 we made our way downstairs for a 9:00 breakfast in the hotel lobby. Which wasn't great but worth the 9 dollars. At 10 registration began and we all submitted our deck lists. After that it was 12 straight hours of sheer MTG. (Now I know it sounds very Nerd. why would I bother going all the way mto Connecticut for a lousy card game. But it goes beyond that. I got to spend an entire weekend doing nothing but spending time with my friends and competing against som eof the smartest people Newengland has to offer in a straight up battle of wits and strategy.)
Anyway, tournament let out roughly at 12:00. At this point we sit around and watch the final 8 matcches till roughly 2. Now we're all starving after having not eatin since about 3 and we order dominoes...at 2 a.m. needless to say we didn't get to sleep till about 4a.m.
We then proceded to get up at 9:00 and prepare for the events of day two, which consisted of a smaller tournament. We all reginsterd and played the first 2 rounds, but after realizing that the tournament would go well into the night again and that we still needed to get home, we dropped out and headed for home. Now that I'm back and operating on about 2 hours of sleep (which were gotten on the floor of the hotel room) I'm exhausted and ready for sleep. If anyone would like a full description of the day check out themanadrain.com forums for a large posting of the days events. |

Well tomorrow is the first day of classes at college and I can't help but feel like the tiny little 4 year old getting ready to go off to his first day of kindergarden. I have no idea what this is going to be like at all. It should be interesting at least. I think the hardest part is going to be getting up early again.
Anyway the last couple days has been pretty good. I've met some cool people around my dorm so I'm certainly not lonely. We took a ride out to New Hampshire last night to a 24hr wal-mart and then to wendy's. So interesting times were had. Today we all went out and scouted out our classes and where they were and I've basically been chilling around the dorm the rest of the day, getting ready for tomorrow.
Well we'll see how classes go tomorrow. Stay tuned. |

Well today was my move in day at UML...and all I have to say is...I really don't know what to say. It's been a long day and a sort of difficult one. This is my first time out on my own and I'm still really not sure how it's going to work out. My parents got all sappy on me when they were leaving...and they left me a package that turned out to be a photo album of all my baby pictures and my dad wrote me this wicked heart felt letter inside it. He was lucky I was alone when I opened and cause there were certainly tears coming. All I can say is I'm glad my parents have always been there for me cause without them I don't know where I would have ended up and I'm glad to know that they still care about me that much that my leaving made them cry. So anyway...that was the day at hand.
My roommate dave is pretty cool...we're both pretty laid back so we're not really bothering each other. And well I'm exhausted and he's already sleeping so I'm gonna go to bed now... |

Ok so yeah haven't updated in a while. It's been basically the same old boring work schedual. Eat sleep work as it goes. However today I went with my long time friend chris and got a tatoo ^_^. I know who'd have guessed. We both got the Kanji (Japanese Character) for friendship tatooed on our upper arm. It's black with a red outline and looks absolutely amazing. Now before you ask why friendship...well chris and I have been friends since kindergarden. And with this being the year that we graduated from highschool and move on in separate but similar paths...we wanted somethingt to commemorate our long lasting friendship. So heres to 12 great years.
In other news...I move into my dorm in a week and well at this point about 12 hours. I'm very excited. And due to the fact that I have yet to hear anything from my room mate...I'm eager to see what he's like. I hope we get along alright. So yes I am certainly looking foreward to the whole social aspect of college. But at the same time I'm hoping that my academics don't overwhelm me. The major I have chosen is certainly a difficult one and the work load certainly is not lacking. So we'll see how that goes.
Well that's all for now. Stay tuned. |

Well after a week in the wilderness of Maine camping with the family, I have to say it's good to be home and back in the comfort of my own room. You never know how much of a techno geek you are till you go a week without the computer that you use just about every day even if it is only for a few minutes.
Anyway aside from that...I did get some serious R+R during the week and am now completely refreshed and hopefully working will not suck as much for a while. My cell phone did die while I was in maine which sux cause now I have to either pay to have it fixed or pay for a new phone....**sigh**.
So anywho...a few more weeks till I have to move into my dorm and get back into the school mood and adjust to a whole new school life. It should be interesting....not to mention the book that I have to finish reading before classes start ARG. ah well.
Stay tuned for more. |

So yeah I'm kinda excited. Recently Tim Buckley the writer and artist behind Control Alt Delete Comics posted news about the recent Conecticon. This is a convention hosted by 2 average people who do it as a way for anime and video game lovers everywhere to get together and have a good time. However this year due to an overly large expense list...the two people almost lost everything they owned. So all the web comic writers who attend they're convention every year banded together along with their fans to raise money to Save Conecticon. And well after that long intro heres why I'm excited...we did it. We saved connecticon. Despite the fact that I myself only donated $5... in total we have managed to raise a total of 34,381 dollars and helped to save these 2 people from financial ruin. This makes me feel great about the world again. Repeating what Tim Buckley himself said...dealing in customer service has given me a generally poor opinion of the world and the people in it. However when you see something like this where a group of people come together and selflessly give up their hard earned money to help someone else...well it makes you feel really good. So thanks to all the people that supported the drive and Thank you to all the good people in the world anyway. |

[Jul. 12th, 2005|12:35 am] |
So I just got back from seeing the Fantastic 4 movie...and I have to say I very much enjoyed it. Though some aspects were very far from the original comic story I felt that they did a good job and keeping character mirrors.
Jonny Storm aka the Human Torch was always one of my favorites due to his complete wise ass attitude towards his abilities and the person playing him in the film did a perfect job capturing his personality. So anyway I would give this a definate thumbs up and a recomendation to anyone who either read the comics or knows anything about the 4.
On another note...I saw a preview today for the remaking of King Kong...OMG!! I can't believe it. The film looks amazing...I gotta talk to Porro he must be thrilled. Also looking forward to "the transporter 2"
Anyway that's all for now. |

Well this week was pretty good all in all. I had some good times, and am really starting to have some fun with all the friends that i never really got to see outside of school while we were in school. Chris and Matt you guys rock.. dave as always wicked cool, the A-Town crew, all you ladies are awesome, and well just over all I'm starting to really have a great summer. My parents have actually lightened up a lot which I'm glad for. I think they may be testing to see how I will react at college next year when I'm the one making all the decisions. And I'm hoping that they realize that despite the fact that I would reather spend all day doing absolutely nothing and just having fun that I'm actually working 2 jobs this summer so that I can save money like they want me to.
If no one could tell yet right now I'm in a wicked good mood, cause I was just a little while ago in a situation where someone could have been a wicked big jerk to me, and he wasn't. And to me when stuff like that happens it makes me feel like their still is a little bit of good left in the world. Cause lets face it people how many times have you see someone go out of their way to screw themselves in order to benefit someone else. Not too many times I think. So yeah that really made my day and my weekend.
So all in all I'm really enjoying the time that I have right now. Trying not to let anything bother me too much. And well I'm just enjoying the company of all you great people out there. So thanks, arigato, gracias and Thank You for all the great times. |
