I am the best. I think that's about enough of building myself up. Ladies? How about getting with the best? No? That's okay. I'm not going to become any less awesome in the next few years.

What's been happening? Let's see... book stuff, working for a website as a blogger soon enough, writing writing, going to summer class, and really hanging out with people daily. It's relaxing, but the sooner I get the website job the better -- I can finally spend money again. Which will be nice. I can get the CDs I can't find online... movies, games... etc!!

I don't have much else to say, except hello. I'm alive. This blog isn't though. I won't update it anymore, I don't think. At least not until something interesting happens.

Just throwing it out there: The new Rock Kills Kid cd, entitled "Are You Nervous?", is like the Cure's dirty little secret.

Later on this week I think Wes and I may be reviewing the Rock Kills Kid CD. Possibly another? I can't remember. But... I'd like to review a movie or two, but I haven't had time to watch any that I want to review.

Update: seeing Poseidon tonight. Don't ask why, it's more of an excuse to get out than an actual desire. I'll review it tomorrow.

Also, I'm tired. Really tired.

End of Line.

Hey, all.

This is Wes. Apparently I have been given the power to post on this thing, mostly for the purpose of writing reviews. Just figured it would be useful to give everyone warning.

Without further ado: Pearl Jam's new cd (selftitled) = rocks.

I have no idea how to review music, which is why I won't be reviewing much of it (amazing...). That said, an intro review seemed in order. I promise, other reviews will have more depth, not that it's hard to have more depth than that.

Take it easy,

The Wes

I'm way too stressed about finals to post, although that very fact makes me post a lot more often. Sometimes these posts don't really have a point (about 98% of them) but they get me to vent out what's stressing me. I feel better now and what I posted the previous night wasn't exactly fair to anyone. Oh well. Now then, I must go and study more after a shower and breakfast. I kind of want this journal to have more substance. Game reviews? Movie reviews? Add a few authors and write stories? If anyone has any ideas, let's go.

I love that milky way commercial. I don't post often and I can't spare much time or effort tonight, so I shall be brief.

My grades suck. I need a job. I need a better car. I need money.

Finals drive me crazy.

Ammmmmberrrrrrr.

Hopefully this is going to be a really great summer. It should balance out the incredibly bad semester I'm about to get through, right?!

My current writing endeavors:

Gravity of Love

Alerion Destiny 1st Generation (editing)

Alerion Name Echoes (working title)

Untitled story about demons and whatnot

The tale Tom and I and... Wes?... are collaborating on somewhat.

New horror/gore story

And what do I do instead of alllllll these projects? Play games, watch movies, look for a job... a real job. Life... ah... life ain't grand, kids. I'm holding onto a pretty frayed rope here. At least I have friends that keep me company every now and then. Cook me dinner sometimes... ya know. =P

Fuuuuuuuuck people. Fuck 'em for not dating me, fuck 'em for dating shit, fuck 'em for being immature image-hunting pricks, fuck 'em for making Athens more and more like high school on a grand scale, fuck 'em for trying less than me but performing better, fuck 'em for all sounding like the exact same goddamn deep voiced redneck, fuck 'em for everything and then some.

I'm tired of this shit. So many people are getting on my nerves that it's impossible to relax and this of course is brought on by no one but myself, so there's none to blame but me. My group of friends I generally hang out with are either couples, or have coupled off and are drifting away, or are single gay men. And me.

I tried to have a party where I'd meet new people, hopefully some new prospects who might actually give me the fucking benefit of the doubt and go on a date with me. Alas, they were all either "out of town" or "sick"... you know why? There was a frat party the day before my party and a downtown adventure the night of. Meet new people in a different setting who aren't all exactly the same little sexcentric fucktards? No way! Let's make excuses then go downtown, or let's just say we're tired and sick from last nights party.

Awesome. Fuck you. Not worth my time.

I haven't talked to a good friend of mine for a long while and I don't know if we're just being stubborn of if someone else is flattering this person with attention, so there's no need to get any from me anymore. Fuck you too, princess. Maybe someday you can learn to concentrate on more than one person or friend at the same time. It's not impossible to keep more than one at once.

My grades are slipping and the harder I try the slicker they get. And I have to take a summer course and get a job. Oh, and it seems my plan is now a 5-year plan, since I'm starting to go insane. Oh well, more time to be in Athens, I guess. Meet new peopl-... wait, that's right. I'm not affiliated.

I can't wait to get put down again. I know I say extreme things, but you don't have to condescend every word or point I try to make. Sometimes you just have to let people think they're right. It's called appeasement and it usually makes the one appeased feel better instead of worse.

This didn't really go anywhere but at least I vented a little bit. Now then, back to studying Accounting since I have a test after Easter and won't be able to study over the weekend while I'm being tossed the fuck around as some sort of errand boy / guest / obligatory family time at home.

Sorry for not posting in ages. I've been keeping myself occupied so I wouldn't have to sit here and type up my recent activities. Which, I assure you, are minimal.

Just had my spring break. Minus the fun. There were a few people I had meant to hang out with over the break but had no opportunity to, due to my parents locking me in the house to do chores/errands. My mom was in the hospital/at home recovering, so I was being depended on for more than my usual share. It limited my activities, since I had to be home practically all the time to take care of one thing or another. So that was lame and to escape it, I made my way for Athens a few days early. Here, there was no one, so again, activities were limited. But at least I was a little more "free", if alone.

Apparently, I can get a new car "whenever I want" after I find a job for the summer. Thing is... I don't want one quite yet. I want money first. So that presents an issue. Not a big one, just one that is going to bother me for a few minutes every once in a while.

Been talking to my favorite person more often lately since getting my new phone. Or maybe she's just bored of life down there. She was going to study abroad this summer, but she appears to be rethinking it in lieu of some summer classes closer to home. I don't really want to try to sway her decision. Both have great opportunities stapled to them. Personally? I want her home. If I were in her position, unable to decide if I wanted to go or not? If I didn't have any friends or acquaintances going abroad with me... I wouldn't go. I'm all for having time to myself, but not when I have to be alone in a sea of people. I'd take my chances being near home, and near all my good old friends.

I wish I could spout out some anger or other bullshit, but there's not really anything grinding my gears right now. Perhaps it's due to my complete apathy brought on from spring break. Sure, I could rant about how I don't like how some people can only find company when alcohol is involved, or the ways people appear to be wasting their lives on meaningless drivel, but I digress. I, too, am a culprit of such crimes. This very journal is an example.

I'm thinking of a new purpose of this journal. I was going to do themed entries, but I forgot that no one outside of the Triumvirate and infrequently Amber actually read it or make a comment on it. So, themed entries are stupid and pointless if there's no audience for them. Instead, I'm thinking of making a sort of... pot luck story board. Let me try to explain.

What I mean is, and bear with me since it's being typed as I think of it, this journal will have a single entry posted and it will be the start of a short story. Comments will not be for half-assed complimenting the artistic struggle of my inner pain *rolls eyes*, but will be a continuation of the story. As short or as long as you'd like, but PLEASE, within taste... bounds... common sense. It's a story, so write what sounds appropriate for the situation, I guess. No commenting "And then a plane landed on him"... just... eh? Well... I suppose it depends if the guy had super powers......

Ahh, anyway. So I start an entry on a tale, someone else weaves a piece of it... and at the end, they may "tag" anyone else to continue the story. So at the end of the entry, person A can state something like "take it, person B" and that person has to respond. Anyone else doing so will... be erased by me, regrettably. And you can always tag me.

I'll see what you all think of this idea. Wes and I have experimented with it and I really enjoyed the result, so maybe others could join in too. Anyway, give me your thoughts and we'll go from there.

Greetings my Nick-starved information seekers! I'm sure you're all itching to know where I've been and what I've been up to. January was a very, VERY busy month. I had my schedule changed around a few times and have very little free time at any one time, though overall it's about the same as last semester. I had my birthday, I had to apply to the Terry college of business, I had a lot of good day and a lot of bad. Let's do a quick conversation about the classes I'm taking.

PEBD1400 - Jogging ... This class is awesome. Sure, all the people in the class already knew each other prior to the class (about three groups of friends, and me), but the class is a lot of fun. I like the exercise, regardless of it's 10am timestamp.

ACCT2102 - Managerial Accounting ... If you ever talk to me, you'll already know my bias. Accounting is the worst class imaginable. I hate it. The teacher, bless her soul, is a wonderful person and is really quite fun, but the class, the material, the quizzes... they... suck. Really badly. I despise Accounting.

MGMT3000 - Management ... This class is dumb. Shows videos a lot, teacher goes on tangents about nothing, hardly scratching any sort of point relevant to the topics at hand. Laughs at himself a lot. So I buy the student notes for the test... you know, a student goes to the class, writes/types everything the guy says plus anything important from the videos and sells them to a bookstore... I studied those pretty heavily and almost failed the test. Unless it's not out of 100 and out of 80 or something. Shitty class, overall. I'll try going this test frame.

GEOG1102 - Human Geography ... No real qualms. The teacher is kind of a douche, but there's nothing particularly exciting in the subject matter. I'll see how I feel after a test.

MARK3000 - Marketing ... Not a bad class. Fairly interesting, if dry, material and understandable tests with a very good note-taking system. It's my major for a reason, I guess.

Those are my classes. They're not that great, but it could be worse. I could have taken Finance or Management Statistics... or any science. Now what... let's see.

Mike's Birthday! It was a lot of fun. And by a lot, I mean a ton. I don't feel like going into details because this entry is long already, but it was awesome and everyone had a great time.

My Birthday! A few weeks later, it was my turn! I had a wonderful time and I really want to thank all the people for showing up for the adventure. It was excellent and I am glad it all worked out.

Weekends in between... either at home or some other random party. Lots of partying. Ummm... a bit of Amber-talking on my part. I feel guilty every time I talk to someone about her and I also feel guilty every time I get excited when she calls. It's not important, though... not until something actually happens between us, ya know? Argument, admittance... just something.

Anybody have any suggestions for entries? I hate blabbing about what I did, because really... no one cares. I'd like to start a string of "themed entries" but I can't think of a theme that would extend past one. So, comment suggestions, please! Later.

I guess we should start with my car.

It broke down pretty much after New Years. Needs a new timing belt and water pump, else the engine will overheat and meld into one giant chunk of metal. Cost? 1,100 dollars. How much do I have cumulatively from work, Christmas, and leftover cash? About 800. So that's a pretty bad situation, right? Wrong. My parents actually heard my plea for help and are giving me a rather large helping hand in the repair payment. They also said that it's time for a new car. All I'd need to do is make payments on it every month, meaning I need a job. Pretty cool, huh? You'd think. However, my schedule for this semester prevents me from having a job with stable hours or having any decent study time. So, I will drive my basically new Probe until the semester's end, either stay here for summer school and get a job or go home and work there. In all, it's a confusing situation but will all work out with time. I get my car back from the shop tomorrow, hopefully. *crosses fingers, has no parking permit in the meantime with mom's totally awesome and fun to drive civic... rolls eyes*

I drove back to Athens in said awesome car and the very same day went out and had dinner with Mike and Ross. We went to... uhhhhhh... ah! The Globe. Very good. After that, we chilled at Ross' for a bit and played some Mario Soccer. Mike and I left Ross after a bit so he could write an article (I take it he works for some kind of internet publishing... he talks about political blogging and whatnot... so I guess it's like an online journal/newsource?). Mike and I came here to my pad and jammed on some Shadow of the Colossus. Eventually, both Ross and Mike's dating companion Lauren-Ashley arrived and we all talked and had a gay ol' time. Ooh, this is good. We started watching the Grudge (shut up I thought it was neat) and Ross flipped his shit because, I quote, "I hate this movie so much because it traumatized the hell out of me". So, yeah, we didn't watch it because he was... scared. But Mike and LA borrowed it, so they'll get to have their own opinion soon. Everyone left around 10:30 or 11 or something. Mike called at 1 or something... maybe around midnight... and asked if I wanted some Taco Bell. Initially I said no thanks, I'm tired, but after about twenty minutes of laying around I called back and said I was quite hungry (which I was... hadn't gone to Kroger yet, so no food). We went and came back to my place and played Super Smash Brothers Melee until about 4 am. A good first day back. That was... Thursday.

Friday was a bit more laid back. Pretty sure I did more shit with Mike and Ross, but honestly, I can't remember that well. I think we bought books, we being I, Butch Walker concert tickets, went shopping for a fake beard or something, and parted ways for a bit. I can't remember if we ate out or not, but I did go to Kroger and it was sweet.

Saturday my parents came up. Replaced furnace filters, cooked me some kind of croissant-roll-hot-dog-nonsense, and left. Bryan came back as well. At about 7, I met up with the gang of Studio 64 (Mike, Ross, Becca, Steve-o, Floppy, Javan(?), Kenny, LA) at Mello Mushroom. Steve-o actually didn't come for some reason and he was smart not to. Service sucked, food was slow and practically everything was made wrong, no esperanza sauce! Lame. LAME. After that we started the party! It was great fun and I shan't even try to recreate the fun, suffice to say we went to the Grill at 4 am.

Sunday was my off day. Recover, sleep, eat, play games, go to Best Buy/Gamestop with Bryan.

Today was the first day of classes! I went to jogging class and didn't jog for some reason and then accounting a few hours later and did no accounting at all. Mike just left. We played Shadow of the Colossus for a bit... and wow that last boss is huge! Anyway. My car is done according to my dad (I've been at this entry for a few hours off and on), so I'm definately getting it tomorrow! Well, that's enough for now. Anyone got any questions/things to say?
