    wednesday morning
    i love memorial day sales at circuit city. they always have good deals on CDs. this year they had regular single disc cds for $9.77 each. so i figured i'd pick up some albums that i hadn't heard anything about but want to add to my collection, or groups i don't usually listen to. led zeppelin is always a good example - their albums are good but they usually only have about 8 or 10 songs. i feel stupid paying $14 for an album that short. anyways this is what i got:

    journey's greatest hits, best of kansas, david gilmour - on an island, led zeppelin III, houses of the holy, and jack johnson's brushfire fairytales (i've had a copy of it, but wanted to buy the real thing).

    so here it is, the middle of the week. you know i have this love/hate relationship with wednesdays, because of orchestra rehearsal. it's nice to play my violin, but it's really annoying because the music we play at the church sounds like shit for strings. they always have these ridiculously fast and impossible to play runs and scales. the composer must think it sounds "pretty." give me a fucking break. i hate that shit. at least there's a MILF in the orchestra and some 16 year old chick that's all over my shit (of course there's no way anything's gonna happen there, for one i'm not single and two she's UNDERAGE). when i hear about 16 year olds, it makes me feel old. i mean i'm only 24, but that puts me 8 years older than them!

    shit that means i've been driving a car for 8 years and graduated from high school six years ago. i'm more than halfway to my 10 year reunion (my sister's is this september).

    anyways i think that's it for now, i really need to update this more often, but my life is so fucking boring right now i have nothing to really talk about. oh yeah, if you like football games, that Blitz: the league game is pretty sweet.

    Alpine IVA-W200 install
    So I began to try and install the Sirius receiver/antenna, the Alpine IVA-W200 DVD unit on my own. Man was this ridiculously hard. Luckily my friend who installs stereos (who I have to give a huge fucking shout out too for helping me out) Chris J was available to lend his services. We got my iPod, video in for a Game Cube, a special switch, and of course the satellite radio. The DVDs look great, the pulse touch is awesome! (For those who don't know, pulse touch is a feature that the screen vibrates a little to simulate pushing a button. I know I thought that sounded weird that a vibration can feel like a button, but it does! I have no idea how this works!). I'm extremely happy, and now I have to figure out how to get my loud ass horn to work. I definitely need to post some pics up soon.

    Hasting's Entertainment, Inc.
    So I used to work at Hasting's awhile back, and I was hanging out with one of my friends Donna, who used to work there with me. Have you ever thought that the people who work there now are complete tools? I mean they look like the biggest douchebags that don't have any fun, or at least anything normal people consider fun. Back when Donna and I were there, we had such good times. I mean people would talk so dirty and perverted, the code 62's (hot chick), making fun of people, writing CD reviews... it was pretty chill, but the pay was shit. The turnover is so high at that place, but if it was that lame to work there when I was there, I'd definitely have quit (which I eventually do anyways). Anyways, that was my rant. Peace.

    me, jesus? yeah right
    so i have a quick thing to say, which happened today. while i was working at the store, this white family came in, and the dad asked me a funny question. he asked if i ever had played jesus before in a play, because with a wig, i'd look just like him. now correct me if i'm wrong, but jesus was jewish, right? if not, he could've been black, but definitely not asian. i don't think i look jewish, nor black, but i guess my skin tone was dark enough to be jesus. pretty funny. anyways i'm tired, so i'm out.

    welcome back
    so this is my first entry in about a year and a half. you know, blogging hasn't become popular until recently. i wonder why it took so long to catch on (or why it ever did)? anyways just thought i'd let you guys know (yeah, like all 2 of you, if even that many) that i'm still alive, graduated with a history degree, and getting an MBA at the oh so prestigious University of Texas at Tyler. don't ask why i was listening to lil flip...

    very happy that meagan is here visiting for the long break (midterm recess, why don't we get one at utt??)!! looks like someone's going to get a lot of play in the next couple of days!

    MXC
    so today is MXC college night... for those of you who don't know anything about how Rice kids do it, college night is dedicated to the college (dorm/house) the students live in, we basically just get wasted in class while playing drinking games. and every college night has a theme, ours is MXC - most extreme challenge (that japanese game show). the events should be fun, but the dress to class in that attire would be kinda hard to do... anyways that's all for now, nothing else to write about.

    that's it, done with rice hoes
    ok, so i learned a valuable lesson this week at rice. well, maybe even more than one lesson. i learned that even if you invest your time and energy into a girl, and she seems to digg you, she can do a complete 180 on your ass and leave you empty. i mean you think somethings going to happen or is happening, and BOOM! you're flat on your ass again, alone, again. so i have pledged to not pursue any girls from rice, unless it's completely and utterly obvious they want me to father their children (which more than likely won't happen). i am so fucking sick and tired of these fucking tricks. why can't i meet a normal person? this girl i'm talking about complains about weird people, but she is one of those weird people included in the shitty dating scene here. the guy that she diggs more than me i think, will turn out to be a fucking moron. if she came back and said "rob i made a mistake and i chose a shitty person" i don't know what i'd do, i mean it'd have to be a DAMN good apology, if you know what i mean :-)~ alright, well i should cheer up, even though i felt like i was ditched all day yesterday and have fun with my alumni buddies. pAYCE

    naice.
    yeah, so tonight was a great night. i know i haven't updated this journal in forever, but forgive me, i've been busy.

    since the last entry, i've dropped a class, find out some girls suck, and find out some girls are great. thank god for this balance between the two. there's one special lady who's trying to figure out if i'm gonna turn out to be a good guy, but i'm confident she'll come to the right conclusion. i hope i have!

    anyways, as i mentioned earlier, tonight was a great night. i'll catch u guys later, maybe in a day, maybe a month, i have no clue.

    ok so it's been a long ass time since i updated this thing, but alas, at least i'm updating it now!!!

    so not much has been going on. i got a really crappy grade on a paper, apparently i just completely missed the point.

    so the relationship thing hasn't been working out. i'm at an age where my mom is actually trying to motivate me to get a girlfriend, since it'll be hard to meet women after i graduate. this is true, but it's just so odd that my parents are pushing me to do this, i mean it's never been an issue. the only girls i can get are either friends, or a piece of ass (which hasn't been happening lately) which doesn't last forever. so what's a guy to do in my situation?

    there are a couple of few really cool people left at rice, i feel like everyone worth hanging out with is almost gone. some people have gotten cooler, while others i just want to bash their head into the wall - could this be because i'm not getting any play?

    naice.
    ok so i haven't written in here in awhile. not a whole lot going on, except my parents are actually encouraging me to date. at least my mom is. they tell me that after college it's really hard to meet girls, so i need to get a move on it. kind of weird, my mom almost asks every single day, and it seems like she cares less about school and more about girls. is this odd or what? coming from a woman who thought her son might be gay... YEAH, right. if she knew some of the things i thought or said, she would be horrified!

    so school blows, lots of work to do, but this weekend it's get retarded weekend officially. i abstained from drinking for the last two weeks, which i'm really proud of. i've only had one beer in that time. it does save some money too.

    alright, that's enough for now, i'm tired as piss. peace.

    ok so i think i'm going to abstain from drinking this weekend. i've been drinking every weekend, and i need to get shit done. also it just gets old after awhile.

    so this week i should find out from the SA that my club i started is officially recognized at rice. we have 32 people interested on thefacebook, so i think it looks very promising.

    well that's it for now, i haven't updated in awhile. btw, monica is HOT

    new job, new club
    so, today i did a lot of extracurricular work. i drafted a constitution for a new club on campus - the STD club (standard transmission driver club you dirty dirty boys and girls) and i basically got a new job at the school paper's office. i am now the Thresher classified ads manager! it pays $50 a week, with usually no more than 5 hours per week of work (at least that's what my friend/boss polly says). so now i got plenty of spending money, a nice title, and i can put ads in for free as long as they're not weird or something.

    so let's see, i started a club, got 10 members for it and a sponsor, wrote the constitution, and got hired for a new job with a nice title. i'm a manager and a founder/president. not too bad for a day's work on sunday... now if only the colts will win this weekend. and the rice owls of course, along with the boston red sox...

    "i'm hideous!"
    ok, so one girl totally wants to be friends. that's cool, i mean that's kinda like the norm. hmmmm when was the last time a girl liked me mutually... let's see here. i mean i've gotten some booty in the last year (not much), but the last time I got constant booty was... in the fall of 2001... damn it's been three years? where has the time gone to? what has happened to me?? i think i definitely need to just stop trying. and i'm tired of making new "friends." i already have enough, so I really don't need to be making more. the more i make now, the more i'll be missing in the future when everyone's graduated and moved on. so what is the point of making new friends? ok now since i feel like i'm talking in circles, i think that means i should grab some brunch and do a sh*t load of reading. pAYCE

    GUSTER = AMAZING
    so i just saw guster tonight at meridian (www.meridianhouston.com) and they were absolutely fabolous! they played for almost 90 minutes, and it was so worth every penny, hell i'd pay about 50 bucks to see them play a set like that! anyways it's been awhile since i've written here, and i'm tired and i have orchestra tomorrow morning at 10. well here's the set list, enjoy!

    TGIF
    ahhh, the first week of school draws to a close. a week has gone by, and suddenly the next 13 will be passing too. so i don't know if i've told you, but i already have my eye on a very, extremely, ridiculously cute girl at jones... and yes, GIRL, for she is much younger than me. but whatever happens, at least i have my eye candy.

    i checked out the set list for the concert i went to for dmb, and the next night they played. i hafta say overall the concert was better for the saturday night (i was at the friday show), but the encore was LAME. the encore for the friday night performance was well worth it, they played all along the watchtower and best of what's around. two songs i really wanted to hear but was saddened at the end of the show because i thought they wouldn't play it, but sure enough, they instantly made my $50 a wise investment. and at least they played grey street during the concert too. this sounds stupid, but i don't really enjoy listening to new stuff, since i'm unaware of the titles or lyrics. but at least i get a peak of what their new album will sound like.

    so we have a great weekend here at rice, i got to see some old buddies, and i don't have too much reading to do. it'll give me time to study some vocab for the GRE, and perhaps work out some.

    school daze
    so today was my third day of classes. phew. and i've had it easy. my schedule ain't bad, i have two classes on monday and wednesday starting at ten, and my ten on friday as well, but not my 11. tuesdays and thursdays suck, i have golf at 8am, then immediately two education classes, then lunch. saturdays from 10-1 i have orchestra rehearsal, which shouldn't be too bad since i have two very attractive girls accompanying me to rehearsal (since i'll be driving us to that part of campus). i do have a group meeting on either tuesday or wednesday nights from 7-9 or 10, but it's only once a week. the class usually meets at 2:30-5:30 on tuesdays but for the next ten weeks we meet in our respective groups (history/social studies) and meet with another prof about methods of teaching. so all in all, for 16 hours, it's not too bad, at least i'm done around lunch time. this friday though my history class at 10 is cancelled since my prof left tuesday for germany for some convention. i'm a happy camper. well it's time for me to sleep, i got about 7 hours to sleep before golf, and it'll be a long day...

    lalalala
    well it's the first night officially back on campus at rice for the 04-05 year. i'm kinda wasted right now so i'll probably type more later. i just came back from bonnie's house and drank a few beers, my car is actually with my buddy who drove us back, since i'm not in the condition to be driving right now. well school starts monday, and sunday will continue with the drunken/happy festivities. catch you guys later! i'm officially moved in! woo hoo! peace

    i hate watching bad movies
    today i rented and copied a movie i never saw before, i assumed since it said "national lampoon's dorm daze" that it would be a decent movie. boy was i wrong.

    national lampoon isn't nearly as funny as they used to be. even van wilder was ten times funnier than this movie. the plot just kept getting more and more lame. people misinterpret other people, they get the wrong impression of each other, the story gets worse and worse, and at one point i was sitting there thinking "god when will this stop and everyone learn the truth???" it was driving me insane. i wish i watched it before i copied it. now i just wasted two discs (one for my friend) for a piece of crap movie.

    anyways, school starts in a week, and i'm psyched to be going down to houston friday, especially since the dmb show is on that night. the sucky thing is the weather shows scattered thunderstorms, but a 30% chance of precipitation. unless it's pouring and the show is cancelled, it can't be as bad as it was last year when the grass was muddy as hell. at least the weather was real cool and nice.

    that's it for now, update ya later.

    sportscenter even cooler now
    ok, i lied. it's baseball tonight. anyways, one of the guys just made a reference to rivers cuomo and weezer, so now i'm an even bigger fan of baseball now.

    just finished watching the johnson family vacation with cedric the entertainer. it wasn't that bad, but i'm definitely glad i've never heard of it before it came out on DVD. having a dvd burner is so nice, i'm getting 2 dvds everyday, which is making my dvd collection bigger and bigger by the day.

    alright, i'm tired, so i'm goin' to bed. hit y'all up later this weekend.

    8 more days
    well, as my summer is winding down to a close here in tyler, i'm getting more and more anxious to return to houston. i think life down there just seems more normal for me, staying up late, going to class groggy eyed, and having fun. but this will be different, i need to get up early and change some bad habits into good ones. anyways i'm really excited about the dave matthews band show on friday night, last year's was awesome, and this one should be just as good. too bad they don't play for three nights in the woodlands, i mean they play multiple nights at small places with nice scenery, but c'mon, this is within 40 minutes of the 4th largest city in america.

    so i met a few people i've met before in tyler, and let me tell you, nothing changes. i swear, i'm tired of playing stupid games with younger girls. i think that's why i tend to be interested in girls older than me, for the exact same reason girls are inerested in older guys. i thought girls were supposed to be maturer than guys, but it turns out, when girls are around older guys, they get all childish (at least around me). what on earth is going on here?

    Current Mood: anxious
