Well, it has indeed been a while. I always do this, I let it go for forever and then decide its time I write something. Anyways, better do it quick so I can get enough sleep to make it through tomorrow. I'll just write what comes to my head, because I don't really feel like jotting down something I want to say off to the side and then come back to it later and inserting it somewhere that it actually belongs.

Aaron never showed up this weekend. I first got a weird notion when he called to say he was in SLO and that he will see me "sometime this weekend". Okay, whatever, but then he didn't call me Sat or Sunday. Guess I'll see him another time when he's not hanging out with his friend that he came down here with (whose brother lives in Mustang Village).

I don't really want to write about the "Step-Off" incident. Just, fuck you Greg. FUCK YOU.

It really does make me feel a little better when I'm bored outta my mind, say on Friday afternoons, to have Apollo around. The little turd gives me something to do, and no money can possibly buy the feeling he gives me when I see him tagging along wherever I go, wanting to be wherever I am, and excited to see me when I get home. He is a pain to take care of, but eventually he'll get much better. I've had him for a month now, and boy... time sure flies. I love this fella.

Halloween... that's what it is right now, at least for another hour and a half. I didn't do anything for it, didn't even go out. It was somewhat of a productive weekend, if only I had studied some Philosophy for the upcoming test. Oh yeah, another thing I don't want to talk about... my setting the low in EE 306 class. I really am ashamed that I did so bad. It's okay, I will get through the class with hopefully a C or B and be okay. I'm doing good in my other classes though, if that's any compensation.

The random stuff: Registration is going to suck. I'm voting this year. Yu-gi-oh is over. I've learned the pharoh's name. It is indeed a very good anime series, I'm sorry to see it end, but it was long enough I think. I've been doing so much bowling recently, I hope I don't lose my job because of... well, we know because of what. DSL is up for Mike and I now, its working better and better (we think). I can play in the servers, just that I get some lag spikes now and then.

When the hell am I going to get myself a woman. Seriously though, this is getting rediculous. Well, thinking about it and complaining about it right now does me no good, all it does is deprive me of minutes of sleep I could be getting so that I feel a little bit better when I'm trying to stay in class tomorrow. So off I go.

(Friday's Post)

I did my first boy-scout-like good deed today.

There was a lady getting off the bus at the transit station where I was waiting for my bus to take me home, and an old lady was getting off the bus. I'm actually ashamed of myself. She was about to get off the bus when I first felt the urge to help, and she was the last one off - meaning that there was a bunch of other people there waiting to get on. Nevertheless, I held back - hoping someone else would have stepped up, but no one did. She was going to take a step out, but turned back and asked the bus driver lady to lower the hydrolics of the bus. She got off the bus, but then had to get onto the sidewalk, and I finally acted. I went over there and offered my arm and asked "Do you need some help ma'am?" and she took it. It felt pretty good, I just wished that I had done it earlier.

First night out at the bars tonight. The other guys (Mike, James, Darien) went to Chumash to lose some money. Chris and I went out to the bars (Andrew dropped us off) after we drank at home for a bit. First bar was Frog & Peach where there was $1 Heinekins and I had a couple. I saw Zelda there and Chris and I hung out with a group of people that were at my birthday party last week. I left Chris to go to Mother's, where there was a $2 cover charge to find Jaime and her roommates. I found them and bought myself a drink there, and hung out for a while. After that the girls had to go to McCarthy's to look for someone, and we waited outside for a while until we finally got in - only to leave like 2 minutes later after finding out the person they were looking for wasn't there. We walked back to Mother's, and I ran into Chris who was sitting outside. We went inside and danced for a while before finally calling Andrew and getting picked up to go home.

Been typing a lot, so lets continue (also before the internet shits out on me).

Apollo's doing good... went to the vet yesterday for his 2nd shot and his checkup. Kennel Training Update: goind better and better, less and less whining and barking after being put into it everytime. House Training Update: going very good, he's kind of established his "spot" which is the door mat thing outside. He's going regularly after we get out of the cage (after being in it for a while), after he eats, etc.

Darra got me a card for my birthday. Wow, I don't even know where that came from... I just walked into work today and there it was. I talked to her tonight too, maybe I'll talk to her again soon. Feelings starting to come up again, but I don't know what to make of it.

Work: Greg is a dick.

Birthday was good, got drunk off my ass and puked for the 2nd time in my life from drinking. Not as many people showed up as we had hoped, but it was still good.

School is catching up to me... I need to fight it off. This weekend I am hoping to make some progress... namely the 255 homework, and also the Philosophy paper (and preparing for the test).

Mom is back from Taiwan... she didn't sign the divorce papers with Dad. Who knows what exactly happened, she said a lot of it had to do with Grandpa. Oh well, at least my parents are technically still "together".

Definetly a good day... a VERY good day.

School was school, nothing to say about that. As that ended, I went bowling for an hour or so. Game 4 turned out to be a personal best game ever. 213!!! That score entailed 7 strikes, and 3 spares. There was only 1 open frame, which also happened to be a split 8 (I believe it was a 8, 10 split). Wow.

Then Andrew drove me, Chris, and Mike home. Chris then took me to go pick up Apollo, of where I also purchased his kennel, food dish, harness, leash, collar, disinfecting stuff, treats, toys, and food. Wow, that guy is way energetic. He simply loves to be around people... otherwise he would cry. I gotta get him housetrained ASAP, and to do that I will need to use the treats and somehow the kennel... it is going to be hard to keep him in that thing while at the same time ignoring his cries.

He destroyed my shirt... the very same one I picked him up from the store this first day.

Yup, it is now his blanket inside the kennel... not that he ever goes in the kennel unless I leave him alone in the kitchen and no one is around to hear his barking and cries for help/companionship. He seems to have taken a liking to my bed, I wonder how long that is going to last before he goes to the bathroom on it. He loves watching me on my computer from there... he also loves chewing shit up all over the place, namely any electronic cord/plug that is on the ground. We watched Hero tonight on my computer... well, I did but he mostly slept on my bed. He's still there right now as we speak/type.

Tomorrow is going to be fun... more to come.
