1. Who is the last person you held hands with?
actually my future sister in-law when we were running from the delft and trying to make my brother mad.

2. If you were drafted into a war, would you survive?

Yeah, not correctly though.

8. Are you afraid of the dark?
I have my moments.

10. Who can you always turn to?
Oh geez...depends sometimes on what it is, but for the most part anyone of my friends really. But certain things, Neil, Nicole, Cindy and of course Pamela

11. When's the last time you chose a bath over a shower?
IDK

12. Do you knock on wood?
NO, but my friends do, so maybe I follow them and do it to.

Yep, wine

14. Do you think you're attractive?
Um, I have my moments, do I think Im ugly? No, but I have my moments when i feel like i am. No one ever says anything about that...I get, "Oh your so cute." Like a 12 year old.

17. What do you want for Christmas?

So as Im looking at my friends posts, I realized how much fun it would be to do a survey, i dont think Ive ever done one. So Im looking for a good one, still havent found one. Dont want it to be to personal, but at the same time, theres things that maybe people dont know, or have forgotten. Im going to keep looking. Be back soon.

Wed, 04 Jul 2007 18:41:14 GMT

Well its July 4th! One of my favoritre holidays, theres nothing like a 4th in Escanaba, I wouldnt miss it for the world. Im at work right now while i type this, i got suckered into managing in the afternoon, and as you can see we arent busy. Last night we went out, had a really goodtime, sang, drank, smoke, the usual. Karaoke has taken over escanaba, tues thru sat thats all we do. But I love it and i wonder why I was hoarse all weekend...too many Bon jovi songs, I sing at least three bon jovi songs a night...and of course We Built This City. People love it and I love singing it haha.

This weekend ill be downstate for a wedding then, I need to go back down and get the rest of crap from neils and have a goodtime with all my CMU friends. Oh btw, I have some info on my school stuff, but ill save that for another post.

I miss everyone, it was good to hear from Neil last night, even though he was ready to fight people, but thats drunk neil for ya. haha. I miss everyone! Come visit the heart of the U.P. and go out with me, Cindy and ....oh thats it, but its still fun!

Well have a good 4th, Im off in a bit then im goin home.

Nicoles post made me have to write and say that I feel the same way you do...and for some reason especially today. Ya know, having a few good days with friends then having to come home, which I love dont get me wrong, but not really having anyone pounding on your door to do something or be around you. Its like a begging game, of hoping that someone is going to wanna hang out or something. I dont know. I feel so lost all the time. And deep down I dont think Ive been the same person in the past few months, I feel like ive changed..kinda...and I dont mean in a good way. I dont know if I just hate life in general and thats why Im the way i am now or what. But I can honestly say I have not felt normal in a while, its like I forgot who I really am or something. Its like if i fight with someone, I really dont care if I ever talk to that person again...its weird cuz I never would be like that...not thats its happened, just always think it. The last time I honestly said I was happy was in Feb. I said Im so happy, Ilove being home...blah blah. And from that point on it hasnt been the same on so many levels. Everday is hard for me still. For so many differnet reasons. I hate putting on the facade when Im around people, just so they dont get mad or annoyed, and wish I would just have fun, instead I pretend sometimes, and eventually I do have fun and forget what I was bothered by. But I feel so fake deep down and feel like if im not certain way people will just stop hanging out with me. And I wouldnt blame them, why would you wanna hang out with a downer, I wouldnt? oh well, all I can do is wait it out and try to think of some good things...which are rare now a days. I make the most of things here and thats all I can do.
Well Im all moved out from Mt.P. It was kinda sad goin through all of my stuff....I didnt like it a bit. Reminded me of the goodtimes with everyone and how Ill probably never have any of that again. But Im all done..I hate moving, neil helped me so much, and I cant thank him enough!! But its a relief. Anywyas, there are about 1000 things running through my head right now, and I dont feel like writing all of it, so im going to bed, and them I have to get up and go get Cody from Pams, I miss him, I havent seen him since Sunday!! goodnight!

Fri, 16 Feb 2007 06:29:50 GMT

ok so ive decided to write....ya i know its been since august the day i was leaving to go back to cmu. Boy have things changed since then.

First off, am I the only one in the world that didnt know you could listen to radio on windows media player? cuz lets just say ive always been one to use it over real player, jukebox and stuff, well its 2007 and i just realized that it has been at my finger tips for all this time...wow...i need to start paying attention cuz i love having all these stations. and as of right now im listening to some instrumental stuff, but all of it sounds so familiar but i have no idea what it is, i feel like its missing a singer or something.

anywyas, i miss cmu alot and cant wait to get down which will be the last wed of feb, pamela wants me there then so we can go out to bdubs for karaoke, god i miss that. Im bored here. I never go out, b/c i have no friends here. Pams coming tomorrow so im excited, cody went to the groomers today all ready for pammy. he looks great. Anyways...sum it up....workin at the theatre and workin at gladstone high school helping the choir out, running sectionals, vocal coaching, teaching when shes not there, etc. Im used to my schedule now. I just really miss my life down there, i miss FnC SO much. But I did this and Im happy.

Ok I need to go. I love and miss all of you. More say later.

so yet again this week was ridic. Monday went to the casino....Cindy took 1st place at Island Idol, all of you would have been blown away...she was amazing. It was tough that night, there were a lot of good people. Pamela came home, so we had a gootime, plus me winning a lot of money that night. Anyways, Tuesday we went to Barrons for some Karaoke, it was fun, Pam got a little to drunk and had to leave, but i stayed with Cindy and Laura. It was fun. Wed we hit up the Duster...it was fun, didnt stay too long, I was home by 12. Yesterday I took Pam to the casino to stay the night, we had a great time. We won some money so it pretty much paid for our little get away. It was a lot of fun though. Now I feel like crap-ola and tonight we are going to her house for drinks, and tomorrow going to Green Bay to stay at my brothers...im excited. So once sunday hits i think ill be pretty worn out. I work 2 till close...ugg. Now that I have money i dont really wanna work...thats so bad, but im working till i leave.

Anyone else getting frustrated at the new cmu thing...i dont even know what to call it. I keep checking my finacial aid and its just more confusing then its worth. On OASIS, it was a breeze to see what ive been charged and whats left over for my refund check, this one is so confusing. So Im not quite sure what Im getting back, I have some sort of idea, but everytime i add all the numbers up, it doesnt equal to what im supposed to get back. ANyways...its something i need to get used to. Overall i like being able to use it 24/7...and its nice to haev everything on one site.

Talked to Jamie the other day, that girl cracks me up. Shes been planning the way she wanted to set up the Apt. I told her whatever she wants to do. She went to town cleaning the other day..which was nice of her. We got our bathroon all fixed up from our landlord so no more clogged drains...that annoyed me so much, of course me and nicole never did anything about it..haha...what can I say we're pretty easy to please. But Im excited, shes got a lot of good ideas and stuff. So when I get there she'll be all moved in and she promises to cook for me...yay. Cuz god knows i cant cook. She is buying Karaoke Revolution and Dance Dance Revolution, so that should be fun. I think Ill buy a gamecube so we can have friends over to play Mario Party...to fun!

So i didnt go into to much detail about the LCC thing, but I had to fax them all my transcripts and a waiver form , so i can take music hist. I was worried cuz to take it you had to have some prerequisites...i was like, oh great. So you needed a reading of 5, and a writing of 5...whatever the hell that means. I got an email and I had a 7 and 8, so i was fine. So every flippin, tues and thurs at 8pm ill be driving my self to LCC...for 16 weeks, starting the 24th. God its going to be hard, but totally worth it, once thats done, it should be clear sailing, cuz spring semester ill pretty much be finishing my music classes. ANd then deal with the ed stuff. So by the looks of it i should be student teaching spring of 08, and graduating...so overall it took me 5 1/2 years at CMU...not that bad i guess. Just ready to be done, not ready to stop having fun just ready to be done with school.

Im going to be responsible, and if you can balance it with partying i think theres nothing wrong with that. We have the whole rest of our lives to work and be old, this time now is to have the best time ever, go crazy, and be YOUNG. I never take it for granted...its sad to see so many people my age or younger being so lame...but whatever...i mean its ok, to have priorities and stuff, but we arent married dont have kids and dont have careers...so whats the excuse again? um yeah. Just have a goodtime, and i dont mean you have to get drunk and do drugs...but be young. With that said I cant wait to get donw there and party likes its 1999!!!! So ready to be there.

im outta here!!!! miss you all!!!

Fri, 04 Aug 2006 19:34:42 GMT

havent updated in a few days. This week for some reason was "get crazy" week for me and Cindy. Sunday went to Cindys for a few beers, nothing crazy, Monday went to casino at 4 with her for Island Idol...got a little crazy. Around 11pm we went and played roulette, and well as luck should have it, i hit my number at least 5 times, and if you know roulette you know that doesnt happen very much, so i made a lot of money off it, except i didnt go home with a dime, cuz i was drinking and well got caught up in the moment...pamela was not happy with me. So tuesday we went to Barrons for karaoke, yet again me and Cindy went all out, didnt get drunk till about 1:30, so i wasnt really ready to leave but we had to, after i belted out a song like i was on American Idol...usually im pretty focused and just stand there. well this time, i went crazy...haha. So we walked home. Wed was the worst...we went to the duster at like 9, ordered these rum and cokes in like a 32oz glass for 3 bucks....so yeah had three...bombed. Me and Laura thought it would be funny to burn each other with our cigs, so yesterday i looked at my arm, and i have burn marks all of it...i wondered why it hurt later that night when Angel Brandstrom was trying to make out with me at Barrons after the duster...um yeah. So yeah by the time we got to Barrons we were just wrecked...i barely even remember much of Barrons, i did a few shots i think...then called my brother at 3:30am from Barrons to come get me, he was pumped up, i didnt want to talk in the car cuz i knew nothing would come out right...so i got home, went and watched tv till like 4:30am and i guess called pam a millions times....weird. So yeah i was pretty hung over on thursday, i feel good today though. PAMS COMING HOME ON MONDAY!!! Plus Cindy is singing in Island Idol on monday...plus my brother tyler is coming home. I cant wait its going to be great day. I have been talking to Jamie as well lately shes been cleaning the apt and stuff.
So Ive been trying to sign up at LCC for my music class i need, its a lot more work then i thought...they are trying to tell me there are prereq. for music hist....they are reading anf writing....um like, im a guest student coming for one class...they told me i can try to get it waived...if i dont im screwed. So I have to send my transcripts in and crap, then i look and its going to cost me more then 500 dollars to take this one class...rip off!! And I dont even know if CMU will take it yet.....weird that something would have to be difficult for me and school. So Im hoping it will all work out. Oh how I cant wait to start school the 24th when CMU doesnt start til the 28th...oh well. Well I have to work today...getting really sick of that place to. Im thinking of maybe moving down ealry b/c of all the LCC crap, it just would be easier to be able to be an hour away in case i have to go there then 5 hours away...i dont know though. Ok...well im going to go to work ealry to watch something for a while. My Pammy is coming home soon!!!!! thank god!!!!! until next time.

Mon, 31 Jul 2006 04:53:06 GMT

so i did nothing today...well i did go to the casino with my mom, won some money about 200 dollars. so i thought of going down to see pam, yes i saw her a week ago, but i dont care, i have four days off why not. i thought we could go camping or something cheap. But then i thought, i havent been in mt.p since may and i have some stuff to do there, plus neil, jeff, jamie and nicole are there and i miss them all so much. so i thought mt.p one day then traverse city. But after pam and me talked it would make more sense to wait, cuz she'll be back in a week and i would only see her for maybe 12 hours...so thats alot of gas and time. It wouldnt bother me, but in a realistic sense, its not worth the money, its worth it for pam though. So all in all i think ive decided to stay here. I really wanna go to mt.p but i couldnt pass TC w/o seeing my pammy, so why even bother, in three weeks ill be there and in a week ill have pam all to myself....WHEVER I WANT!!!!No time restrictions, thank god. and i know she feels the same way. But i love all of you in Mt.P (nicole), and i would have love to visit, but i wanna use the money for other things, if gas wasnt 3.20, id come for sure, cuz my car doesnt take a lot of gas, but when its this high it costs me 60.00 to see pam back and forth that is, which is expensive for a poor little cashier at willow creek cinema. anyways...hope all is well, if i change my mind ill call ya...neil, nicole. btw, neil....call me...did you or didnt you go the interlochen this past weekend? me and pam were confused. anyways...ttyl

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 05:57:17 GMT

well i thought id say hey. im not doing much tonight...just watchin tv and drinkin a beer. But wait thats pretty much every night for me. I worked tonight, and i work all day tomorrow. Let me tell you...i am more then ready to be back mt.p, i miss all the people there. Im pretty lonely here and sick of being at the theatre 24/7 and im sick of being at home. If i could afford it id be back tomorrow...trust me. Its been so nice to talk to nicole and kelly from time to time on aim. I dont go on there much but when i do it always makes me feel so much better. I just back from my second visit to interlochen to see my pammy. we had a goodtime. we got to spend so much time together, so it was nice. I miss her so much. i talk to her at least 2 times a day sometimes four....depends on her and my schedule. It makes me feel better when i talk to her. After our break up so many things changed for the good for me and her, that her being gone really affected me more then i thought it would. We just have grown so much as a couple and i have just flipped my thinkings and feelings upside down for the right reasons....and its for her and our future. Ive grown up in the sense of the way i handle situations and my priorities, dont worry i still have my wild side, but i feel that i can only grow as a person if i make the right decisions for my life and my relationship. But dont get me wrong when i get back to school be ready for some crazyness....cuz god only knows im ready for some fun with my friends!! the week before school is always my favorite...plus my birthday is that weeek...so everyone be ready. ANyways, i was talking to kelly and she said she would like to have a get together with everyone before summer ends, so i think she is trying for labor day weekend, so i think it would be a blast to get everyone around together and get out of mt.p and just let loose together. so i hope it works out. anyways, pam comes home on the 7th, so ill have a life again...ill be back the 21st of august. ill be living in the same place as last year except jamie will be my roomie this year. ill miss ya nicole!!! no more acting out excersize videos and making funny voices for hours....but im sure jamie will come out with dandy things to do in place of those...lol. anyways...i miss everyone soo much. its going to be a weird year at school with so many people we love are gone, but its start of something new and exciting to add to our great memories of the past. take care everyone!!

havent wrote in a while, im bored so I thought id let you all know how bored ive been...haha.

I havent been doing much since leaving Mt.P. Went to Mackinac Island for Fish n Chips, which was a great time. Got really tuned up after the concert at the Pink Pony with Jeff, all the underagers also were very tuned up then we went back and drank some, then there was running from the security officers, fire extigishers used, etc. pretty crazy. Other then that just working a little at the theatre, watching movies on my days off, since I have nothing else to do.Im way excited for Xmen 3 on friday, probably my favorite series ever! We do get to preview it cuz we are having a midnight showing for the public, so that blows, but there is a group of seniors coming at 3am to watch it for their all night party which ill work for, so ill watch it then. Its going to be great!

Ive been kinda down latley, its always something. Im just frustarted, confused and crap like that. I get sick of the pity parties I throw for myslef, but I cant help the way I feel about so many things. Ill be fine......I just wanna be happy.

On a better note, Neil and Nat are coming here on Saturday...Im so excited to see them. Then on Sunday they are coming camping with us too...I miss those two, so Im so excited to see them, we will have a blast Im sure. So I have something to look forward to. Then Ill be downstate on June 2nd so Im excited for that too! And I plan on going out and making the best of while im there that weekend. Cuz its way more fun then here. ANyways, its wed. which means Karoake at the duster, maybe ill go. Pams not going, but maybe Laura will. I need to go and do something...and whats better then a traditional wed. night outting of karaoke, I mean its no Bdubs, but its fun! I miss Mt.P alot! I wish I had money to live there for the summer....id be way happier, being able to hang with Nicole, Jamie, Neil, Jeff and Jim....I miss all of them so much:( I hope all of you are doing good, Im always thinking about all of you.

Anyways, I should go. I miss all of you who read this! I hope everyones summers are going good!! Remember Ill be in Mt.P on June 2nd....so if your around, id like to see ya!!!!! Take care.

So last night was a lot of fun. We had a gig in Pearce for a karaoke contest, we tried out "You Raise Me up", and it went great. Those guys are working so hard, and they are focused, i couldnt be happier. It makes my job so much easier. We had our first run through with OTR tonight on "We Built This City," and went really well. I have been working with FnC on it for a while, i think they had a lot fun singing with girls. Once the girls feel more comfortable with it, they will let loose a little more and sell the song. But im not worried, it sounded great and its exciting!

Because of their hard work we are cancelling practice tonight. Me and Jeff were talking and I just think they need a break, we have had like three gigs in the last two weeks, plus all the practices and an extra one last night...so they deserve it. We are a head of schedule music wise and are ready for the concert just need to tweek a few things....so its a relief.

Went to Bdubs last night. It was fun, a bunch of really random people there though, but still fun. I got to see Amanda Fannin, I havent seen her in two weeks. She cracks my shit up! So hopefully we can get together next week.

Last week was Kellys recital. It was a lot of fun. She did a great job. It was a good turn out. Then we sang at Phils church, it was not the audience we were expecting but after the show they all seemed to like it....tough crowd..lol.

Just a few more weeks left of the year...its sad to see a lot of my friends leave. We were talking about that at bdubs, lindsey brought her "three weeks left" camera and went crazy tking pics....haha...it was funny. But overall Ive been the happiest Ive been in a long time. Im making good choices and really feeling motivated....im a lot more focused now and i know what I want. Pam and me have been getting a long so good, we couldnt be happier. I love that girl!!

Now that its nice out we all need to get together and go to the park and play roofball, baseball, volleyball and stuff, it would so fun. So be ready! It would be a blast! Im sure me, pam, kasie and kyle are having drinks on the deck after chambers, its turned into a ritual....goodtimes though.

Anyways....I better get ready for class at 3. Im in a great mood and hope something is going on tonight....like ROOFBALL!haha....anyways, have a great day everyone!!

I just want to thank everyone for all the support and love me and pam have gotten through all this. It means so much to me and I know to her as well. Its so hard and would never wish this pain on anyone. It will be hard trying to get through these last few weeks of school. I love her so much and cant stand not having her. Im hoping we can work it out, I have thought about so much since thursday and have learned so much as well......so i wont give up.

Im glad I went last night. It made me so happy to see her, talk to her, and hold her. I know she still loves me and I need to give her time, but its so hard when you have been with someone for 5 1/2 years. I just think about all the great times.

Im sorry all this drama happened on the side. It hurts to have put faith into people and then have people do stuff behind your back. But right now, that stuff means nothing to me, my main focus is to be with Pam, not get caught up all this childish stuff. As hurt and upset I am, I will always be there for her, she knows me like know one else. And I know her better then anyone here. So being able to continue to talk to her makes my day so much better. I love her and hope things will be worked out soon, so we can make our relationship stronger and healthier. I know we will be back together...i have a lot of faith in that.

So thank you again to everyone, I love you all. I couldnt ask for better friends!!!! I just wanted to write to let you all know Im doing ok and i will have a hard time dealing with this, but i will get through this knowing i have so many people that love and support both of us.

Wow! Can you believe it, Im actually updating. Im not going to go over everything that Ive done the past month since the last time I wrote, that would take forever.

Ive been busy with school, Fish n Chips and Pal Joey lately. So far Ive been having a really fun semester, after every weekend, we have like forty stories to tel because it was a crazy crazy weekend. Im not the best in school as now, but oh well, its not even the half way point yet. Ok so in a week it will be, so I need to buckle down and do well or my life will be over.

Whats been really different this sememster is how many parties i have went to so far this semester, I NEVER go to parties. I have went to more this fall then I have the whole time ive been in college....haha. Granted they are parties with people i know. Mostly theatre parties, which are always a goodtime. Those people are so much fun. But Kellys has had people over a few times as well and we had a blast, of course the last time i was there i threw up everywhere because i was thinking of the dirty ping pong ball that was in my drink, because we were playing beer pong....haha. SO yeah since then, no more beer pong for me, unless there some clean water to dip it in and some lysol to spray it, or I will throw up again over the ball.....lol.

So the musical. Well, we havent done to much so far, we;ve leaned our songs, and blocked the first act, thats about it for me, the rest of the cast dances, so theyve been learning a million dances, well at the least the girls are. But they look so good. The show is going to be very fun to watch. Theres no cheesy dance moves, its like hardcore dancing and everyone is doing great. Except for the girl who in the show gets everything backwards.....and she really does in real life....I get such a kick out it when I watch its sooo funny. I dont mean Im like laughing at her, just because shes supposed to be like that in the show. It cracks me up.
Im slowly trying to get into this character, but I have so many things that she wants me to work on, first it was the way I say about, which she still points out, but seriously how can i change something i dont hear....I digress, so now she wants me to have a bit a of new york accent, by listening to dialect tapes. Now, we all know what happened in Drood.....I had the worst british accent in the world.....so I can only imagine what my new york accent will sound like. And she wants me to go through the whole script and mark the beats of the lines ... which i had no idea what she was talking about, then she explained, and I think I got it, but you know me sometimes i think ive got somethign and its not even close of what im actually suppoed to be doing, thank god i have theatre friends. SO yeah Im basically overwhelmed, and I dont think they knew what they were getting themselves into when they cast me.....well they have their hands full now. i just feel so dumb, because i dont know "theatre stuff" like most of the people. I just always feel tehy regret casting me. But I know it will come together and Ill be fine, I just feel so pressured to do a perfect job. Like Jason Pintar kept telling me, "Just to the best you, thats all they ask." So he is right, i will do the best I can, and im trying, it just takes time with me. I mean as of right now I cant even sing the way they want me to, and that was the one thing i had going for me, I thought well Ill be fine with that......yeah right......I got ripped apart for the way I sing the songs. But its been better and ill be fine.

It will all come together. I know it sounds like im happy with how ive been doing or the show in general but thats not it, Im having a lot of fun, the cast is so talented, everyone is singing great, acting great and dancing great so far. SO its been nice to see that this early in the show. Its just me im worried about. ANyhow.....

I get to go home this weekend im excited. It will be the first time my whole family will be together in four years. So thats 17 people all together. But to be with my 5 brothers and 2 sisters all together is gonna be weird, because that was a normal thing back in the day....well actually we only all lived together for a year and that was 1993....wow hey? So it will be great to see my brother from japan and his wife and kids, which one ive never met. It sucks that he came for a month while I was here, usually they come in the summer, but at least ill have one weekend with them.

Well I just realized I need to email someone, so Ill ttyl.......bye, everyone have a great week!
