I hope.

Yargh!!!

0 hai. guess what I have been doing the last two days. if you guessed rebuilding a rotten wall you'd be wrong. what huh?!? you say.... I've been doing everything but that. Moving hundreds of pounds of mulch, fighting an epic battle with ferns, burning out the neighbors, building mountains of trash, but no wall rebuilding. Oddly enough the wall is more or less rebuilt now. no thanks to me! tomorow, I don't know what I'll be doing. Probably something equally not to exciting. But on friday night I have a meeting, so I have to be back in town!!!1 that's good. that's all.

day 3

2008-05-06T06:11:21Z

built a new wall, one section is basically done. The trouble wall is more trouble. We tediously removed all of the rotten wood. Oh right, no ceilings collapsing, we built a very fancy brace thingy for the ceiling. If that sounds sketchy it's only because it is sketchy. Anyway, removed rotten. Then found more rotten. It would be quicker to take the wall out and rebuild it(or so I hear). So, tomorrow I think we build new wall, half of today wasted. But I don't mind I get paid hourly. In other news, my mother cooks strange healthy food. It makes me fart a lot.

seattle, day 2

2008-05-05T06:21:58Z

So, the ride to seattle was too long. It always is. zoom forward to today. I ripped out a bunch of siding. I found out the wall under the siding was completely rotten. We have to rebuild the entire wall, I've never rebuild a wall, interesting. Also, a tree fell on the roof of the garage. I got to get on the roof with a chainsaw and demolish the tree, that was fun. My parents eat strange healthy food. The end.

so, it's been a while since I've updated here. but I have my password again. I remembered it a while ago in a stroke of genius(luck). So I'm gonna update, why not.

last night I had a dream. Karai(the female leader of the foot clan after shredder dies). Was on a mexican TV show. They thought she was mexican and were speaking to her in spanish. But since she apparently has a super... um... ninja memory she was remembering what they were saying and repeating stuff but in a different way and they thought she spoke spanish. And there was too much product placement in the show. She accidently called a computer a sony fajita instead of sony Vaio.

When I woke up, well half awake. I decided all laptops should now be called tacos. tacos are like fajitas. and a laptop is kinda like a hard taco shell right?. So there.

Also, fuck my landlord. We got a call this morning(4 calls) saying she was gonna show the appartment today. Apparently she isn't aware that she legally has to give us 24 hours. and regardless if she showed the place today at 11 she would wake up a sleeping, naked, and very grumpy Ivan. That shit doesn't look good to potential renters. Luckily my roommates, anticipating this situation, called her and said nu uh. Thats all.

ps- her fucking phone calls woke me up damnit.

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 25 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through when someone gets them right
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

open your eyes
everything is worthwhile even when i hate myself
you are the perfect drug
back up in your ass with the resurection
forgive me father for I have sinned
unto the heavens hell came to london
why should I believe
you've got a bad old habbit of making people sad
welcome to the world of dreams
wait a minute now
good to be back home in the pubs with the people that you love
I sit down in despair, no way to run away -apoptygma berzerk
I sing the body electric
in your grave you can't see there's a daylight
he moves so slowly but he's cathin up on you
ease the tension, lets fuck apprehension
for a conciencness rising out of just restraint
it's time to tell me what you saw
twilights last gleaming
I get down on my knees and thank god I'm a secret agent man
what's so hard to understand, which part did you not get
I, Me, Mine
Interception, contortion, domineering, ignoring, Cancellation of frustration.

Okay, I don't really know how many of you really read this, But what I do know is that everyone that is on my friends list is also on my myspace list. So instead of keeping this and a myspace I am going to stop writting here and start a myspace blog, it will just save me some time, and since everyone that might be reading this has just as much chance to read it on myspace it should work out fine. Now, I will still check here, and read what everyone has to say, and comment and all that jazz, but you will see a lot less of me posting here.

home

2006-11-01T22:08:40Z

yep, I have returned to the glorious moscow. I would like to thank dusty, Andy, and John for there help. ohh, and no thanks to Emma. err, it's a long story. but i will explain it in a later post. and everyone that reads it will laugh and cry at the same time.

the future

2006-10-28T16:49:10Z

some crazy amazing doughnut store. Need I say more.

clarity and confusion

2006-10-27T10:15:34Z

this is a very strange time in my life. I have a clarity that I haven't felt in years. and I have emotions that I haven't felt in even longer. I know what to do. I don't know what to expect. I know where to go. I know why I have to go there. I don't know what will happen when I get there. I may get there and realize I still have a long way to go. I may get there and realize I was already there. I may be wasting time. I may have already wasted more time than I can afford. I know why I am here, I know where I am going, I just don't know the end result. But I will get there in the end.

not for now.

Lullaby

2006-10-22T11:13:14Z

May you find solace in the gentle arms of sleep
Despite the wolves outside your door
In time you will see them all as harmless
And their idle threats easy to ignore

And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay

As you drift into the gauzy realm of dreams
May you take comfort in the thought that you are safe
For it only takes a fraction of a second
For all of this to change

Return to me
When slumber's fog has lifted
Return to me
Stronger than before

As you sink beneath the soothing streams of time
May you be thankful that you had another day
For there comes a time when each of us will enter
A sleep from which we will never wake

And if ever fate should choose to smite you
Stand your ground, never walk away
Please don't ever let the world defeat you
Don't get buried in its decay

Close your eyes now, if only for a moment
For it's time you get some rest
The wolves are gone and nothing here can harm you
Let go of your fragile consciousness

Return to me
When slumber's fog has lifted
Return to me
Stronger than before

chicago is teh devil. the humidity is waaaaay to much for me to deal with. everynight i feel dirty and sweaty when I am trying to go to bed. it is cold and windy out right now, but i am still too hot and humid. life is rough I know. In other news, they are doing serious road construction right outside my window, it el suxorz. they are really loud. Ohh, and last night was the kmfdm concert, I'm sure it was awesome. but alas, I could not make it. hopefully next time they come around. but i did go walking around chicago with john, it was pretty fun. we saw places and i picked up job applications. that is about it for now. over and out.

wow

2006-10-02T04:28:12Z

it took days. but finally i have my computer back. I didn't bring a monitor with me, so we have had to find one. but now I have it, and my computer. exciting. next on the list, get a job. but tomorow, i am going to start looking, I already might have an in somewhere. who knows.

random update

2006-10-01T19:40:00Z

soo, the other day I was at a pirate party, it was fun. drank rum, watched pirates of the carribean, and i met some more of john's friends. that was all fun. I probably drank too much, i had a headache all yesterday because of it. oopps. oh well. it was still fun.

logic

2006-09-29T18:03:11Z

Okay, I went to one of John's classes today. how interesting is that? well, I learned a few things. first i learned that this college is full of pretentios asses and crazy people. and a strange combination of the two, even the hippies are arogant assholes. Anyway, the class was logic, the book for the class was deductive reasoning. we spent the first 15 minutes of class leading up to the definition of a conjunction. wow. yep, 15 minutes to explain to a bunch of college students what the word and was. I wispered to John. 'is he just defining a conjunction' and john was like, no he can't be. but alas. that is all it was. than he explained a bunch of stuff that if you think about it doesn't make sence. then he explained that for it to work you have to not think about it. and basically the rest of the time he was teaching us things we should have learned between kindergarden and 3rd grade, but he used a hell of a lot of syllables to explain it to us. He diffinitly sounded smart if you were an idiot. The strange thing is that it looked like most of the class was really interested and learning things. there gears were really turning. and when he covertly explained what a negative sign does someone actually got it wrong, it was mind boggling. But the best thing he said during the entire class, and this is priceless, was 'You can't fit a NOT in P' yep. that is an important part of the class. yay. Anyway, just thought I should let you all know about my exciting experience.

racism

2006-09-29T07:01:18Z

okay, this is a strange entry. I have been in chicago for a day and a half now. But I have noticed something very strange. Okay, theoretically because there are supposed to be so many more black people here than in podunk Idaho people aren't racist here and all that jazz, right??? Well, it sure doesn't feel that way. when I got off the bus(mostly white people on the bus), guess who was dealing with the luggage, yep, a black guy that looked like he didn't get paid enough. then go into the station and there are tons of seemingly well of white guys walking around, and behind almost every counter was a poor black person. hmmmm. suspicion. than I go to the university, which is full of rich white people. and i go to the bagel place, and behind the counter, all black people. suspicious. hmm. it seems to me like this place is a little more racist than seattle. or a lot more. where black people get stuck with the shitty low paying jobs so they can't afford college, so there kids are going to have the shitty low paying jobs. hmm. and the whole time they have to make coffee for rich arogant jewish kids at this crazy college. Ohh, there are a lot of jewish people here, anyway. it just feels like this whole city is secretly very very backwards in the way it works. maybee I am wrong, I've only been here for two days. who knows.

The Train

2006-09-28T06:52:37Z

Ok, if you ever decide to go across the country and you are making the decision wether to take the quick airplane or the exciting train. Let me tell you a few things. First the train is a lot cheaper, and worth every penny less. The trip will be a few days, and you won't be able to sleep more than an hour at a time. and you will probably get a killer headache by the second day, and here is the strange part. your teeth might start hurting a lot. because of all the vibrations. it really sucks. Anyway. Then they show movies in the lounge car. Terrible movies like mission impossible 3 that only make your headache worse. And while you are going through montana it will seem larger than you ever thought possible. It just keeps going and going. After all this you start getting greasy and just want to take a shower. you really really want to take a shower. and Finally you think you are getting close to your destination and than the conducter says there will be a 2 hour delay. 2 more hours of train monotony. And when you finally get to your destination you look in a mirror and you look like a hobo who hasn't showered in days. probably because it has been days since you got the opportunity to shower. Anyway. the only way to make a train ride that long fun would be to get a sleep car things. one with beds. and hopefully have an SO with you to make the bed worth having. wink wink. but if you had the extra 400 to get the room why not just fly and be wherever you are going a few days faster. so. the moral of the story. don't take a train a long distance. It is not worth it.

hmm.

2006-09-11T02:45:38Z

do you ever feel like something insane is about to happen. but you don't know what it is??? me too.

wow

2006-08-29T08:09:53Z

wow, it's been not even a day and I already have two replies. For me that is a lot. more than I expected. So I will keep this up. Even if Dan is the only person I haven't seen recently that reads this. so, this ones for you dan. err. that is all I have to say for now. ohh, and fuck my cats. They have this new hobby of peeing on my bed and making me really angry, because I find out as I try to go to bed. last three night they have done it. some sort of new game I guess. anyway, toodles.

hmmmm

2006-08-29T02:24:35Z

I am noticing that since I started using this thing again, I am not getting any comments. I am wondering if because I have not used this stupid site in so long I have no more friends. sad xmas. anyway, this is my big test. if you are reading this could you comment so I know who is still paying attention to this thing. So I know if I should just scratch the whole thing or not.

danke

something new

2006-08-23T08:17:30Z

sooo, I have an appointment next tuesday at 2:00pm to get my first tattoo, it is going to be a big sweat tat. It will rock, I can not wait.

holy shit

2006-08-15T22:34:06Z

so, some of you may have noticed that I never ever update this silly thing. that could be because I hate live journal, or because I am lazy, or because I am sooo busy I have no time. Or, it could be because I forgot my password a long time ago and didn't care enough to find it, until right now. so maybee you will see more updates from me in the future. or not. who knows.
