Well I really did it this time. What a slacker I am. Anyways here is a little update on what I’ve been doing…

I’ve been to the Cleveland area, a whole bunch of times recently. We were checking out bands like O.A.R., Red Wanting Blue, Virginia Coalition and Woodside Quinn. I will definitely be updating my Concert List somewhat soon. Tons of fun times had with lots of people, some who I haven’t seen in quiet some time…

I got my grades for this past quarter. I pulled a 3.66 which made me and my parents very happy. I’m still keeping my total above a 3.2, which is definitely a plus…

So it’s about Christmas time, and I am so broke. I need to come up with some money to buy my mom something, since she has been helping me out. Good news is, I don’t have to buy for any girls. :)

Happy Holidays to everyone, and I’m really gonna keep this thing up to date from now on…

Dammit, I did it again. Seems to be I can only remember to do this when I’m at work. Well last week was the final week of classes, and now it’s finals week. I know at one point, I talked to Amanda very shortly after writing my last journal entry. It went really well, and I’m happy about that. I don’t know if she still wants to try and be my friend, but I really do want to be hers. The conversation went more along friendly lines that we have before, like we weren’t acting like ex’s anymore. We were just like two old friends catching up on things. I really enjoyed that and I hoped she did too, cause I don’t want her out of my life ever. If you are reading this, please give us a chance at being friends. :) I didn’t go out and party last week as much as I normally do, for a few reasons. I was sick for a couple days, I had no money at all, and I was busy with school work. I still have a project to finish and a paper for history class, both of these being due this wednesday. Last wednesday I did get to see Woodside Quinn again. That was a ton of fun, and great to talk to those guys again. They appear to be doing great and will be playing at Bogart’s next week sometime. Nothing else too exciting for that week, except for I dyed my hair. I guess the official term was that I highlighted the tips, but I think it’s pretty cool looking. I’ll have to get some pictures up somewhere soon. The weekend was a blast. I was supposed to go to our annual ITI work Christmas party. I only really had one choice for a date at this point, but in the end she ended up not showing up on time. So I just skipped the party and went to some Clifton parties with Liam, Fighty, Nick, and all those guys. We ended up playing flip cup for most of the night, and then late night I went to Murphy’s on the condition that all my drinks were payed for. I showed up and knew tons of people at the bar. Guys from high school, Scott Caparso, Amanda’s roommates from sophomore year, etc. It was a great time, and really cool to see these people again. I ended up very drunk by the time we left, so I just somehow made it to Liam’s house where I passed out on the couch. The next morning, we decided to get up early (some of us still feeling the effects from the night before) and drink a few before going to the UC football game. That was a blowout, with UC leading 21-0 at the end of the first. We stuck around, to watch all the drunks at the game, including my buddies from class. After that was about over, we headed to a free Oval Opus concert, and chilled until it was time for the UC basketball game. This was a fun time as well, and UC ended up pulling out the victory. This day wasn’t close to being over, so we headed over to Bogart’s to try to get into the Ordinary Peoples / Afroman show for free. Steve and Ari (from OP) could not help us out with getting in, but they gave us some promotional stuff for their show coming up at the Mad Frog. So with all that stuff in hand, we headed to Liam’s house. Everyone there was getting ready to go to some party, so we tagged along with them. The place was packed, and kind of annoying, but then this band called Fate Hates Us start playing. They played a bunch of really cool covers and their drummer was something else. Fighty said he was the second best drummer he has ever seen, behind Carter Beauford. I would have to agree with that comment. Unfortunately we couldn’t stay for them to finish their set, but we were going to Miami to see Red Wanting Blue. This was like the 3rd or 4th time we had seen them there, and it was just as good, probably better than the ones before. They just sounded good. After that show, we went home, ate and drank a little and passed out around 5 or so. Then yesterday, I just attempted to study and write shit, with minimal success. Then we had a hockey game, and then it was bed time. That brings me to here, with the thought that I should write here more often. Have a good one..
