Well I am keeping very busy so I haven’t had the time to write. School takes up most of my time, just trying to get all of my work done and my programs. The rest of my time I spend drinking with friends or just hanging out with Kate. Everything is pretty fun though.

We had to get rid of our dog, Liam didn’t want us to have it. It’s all cool now though, he is living with Fighty’s parents. He is still close enough to visit which is cool!

Of course I’ve seen some shows. Check that section of the site for info, cause I can’t remember them right now.

It’s basketball season! We have made it to the first two pre-season games and plan to hit up all the others that we possibly can. We are even talking of camping out to get tickets to the Xavier game. That would be a blast and a great thing to do before I graduate.

That’s about it for now, more to come later on…

Alright that was awful. I’m now an official slacker. I guess I have a somewhat good excuse, school has been keeping me busy. Life has been pretty good lately, even though very busy. I feel like I don’t ever have much time to be on my computer like I did before. Now, I get on to do my homework and update the site (usually in the morning now). I guess I just find this to be shocking, since I’m typically all about my computer. Well let’s see, anything big going on? Not really. I saw some kickass OAR shows at the Newport, and saw some other shows. Fate Hates Us has had some lineup changes but are still kicking ass. I can’t wait to see them again. I think my next show is Keller Williams. My rig has been treating me really well, I just dream for the day that I can afford a DAT. My (I mean Kraut’s) stupid MD likes to skip quite often.

That’s about it for music, as I said school is busy. Not too hard, although data encoding is rough. I’ve just been busy with “busy work” as I like to call it.

Oh yeah! We have a dog now! Duelie is his name and picking up chicks is his game. :) He is a spoiled dog, but is still in that crazy puppy stage. We bought him for $15 from some neighbors.

Ummm… that is about it for now. I’m gonna try and get back to my normal routine…

I am a huge ass slacker. Well, we did move into our house, and it is really coming together. It was hard work to clean the damn thing, but it all paid off in the end. My room is small, but I’m learning to deal with it, and it is enjoyable. I just wish I had a window in the damn thing so I could put a air conditioner in. The door to the balcony is very nice however.
I’ve been to a few shows, and have been taping them. My rig is coming together and I plan to just keep adding things to it as I go along.
I guess that is it for now, but I’ll try to get this thing going again like it used to be!

My site got a makeover! Yeah. Kate moved into her house down on campus, so I’ve been busy trying to help with that and drinking down there every night. We get our house on Sunday. I am very pumped. More to come soon….

I awoke to a message from Mr. Aaron Liber telling me to write in here. I got bored at work, and then decided to do so.
So what has been going on? All kinds of things…
I have seen 5 DMB shows in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Indy. Tons of fun, and the shows have all been great. I think the Deer Creek shows were the best time I have had show wise in a long time. I don’t plan to ever miss those again! Only bad thing that happened is when a guy tricked me into letting him use my ticket stub to get a friend into the pavilion. He gave me a stub back, but it wasn’t mine… it was a damn lawn ticket. So once I left to grab another beer, I couldn’t get back in. That pissed me off out of principle, but I still had fun!
Let’s see what else…
Kate had a birthday on the 9th! She is no longer a teenager. :) We ended up going to a Lifehouse concert that day with Steph. Those two love their Lifehouse. I had a pretty good time, and thought about taping it (stealth), but then decided not too. Oh yeah, while we were at Kings Island, the show was there, I finally got to ride Son Of Beast. That is one cool coaster but it is quite rough. It is a wooden coaster that has a loop in it :o
I surprised Kate with a John Mayer show. That was fun, although the crowds there are getting less and less fun. I think she really enjoyed it though, since she loves that CD.
We picked rooms for our new house last night. I got the small room, which is the size of Liam’s now without the large closet he has so it looks bigger. This should be fun trying to fit all my stuff in there. :) I am really excited to be moving in though. Kate and all of them are moving in less than a week…
I guess I should have written before that I ended up buying mics for recording from Adam Elkins, I am just waiting for my first show to tape though!
I found out that tuition for next quarter is going to be a bit over 2300! This is getting ridiculous. I guess I should try and get that scholarship of mine back. They took it away since I didn’t turn in any service hours. This year should be really broke for me…
Hmm…..
I’m not sure there is anything else to add really. Have a good one, and I’ll try to update more…

The last week of class is over! I only have 4 finals and then I am done for the summer, and that would be wrapping up my 4th year. Wow time flies by. Anyway, I’ve been having tons of fun again this week and this weekend thus far. A few drunk nights recently, but Kate puts up with me somehow. :) I went to my first red’s game of the year last night, and of course they sucked. The rain delay for over an hour wasn’t fun either. Oh well after the game was over and I spent all my money on beer, I got to drink for free out of kegs for the rest of the night. Tonight I think I am going with Kate and probably Steph and Liam down to Newport to watch a band. After that I think we will probably just party over at Liam’s house. Kate doesn’t have to work tomorrow morning, yeah!!!! If you are still in school I hope finals go well for you…

Could I seriously have any more fun than I am at this time in my life? I don’t know if it’s possible. I’ll just say that this weekend was another great one, and that Kate is the best! More to come later, it’s late and I have a presentation in the morning…

I shouldn’t skip class anymore. I totally forgot that I had to turn in homework in Operating Systems today and I skipped it. Damn I feel dumb now. The good news is that we only have this week and next week left of class. Always a nice feeling, but I just wish I could figure my damn scheduling out. I’ve been looking at it and trying to figure out what the hell I need to take for my last year of college. Enough about school, I don’t have class tomorrow. :)

These past few days I have been spending as much time as possible with Kate, and I’m still not tired of her yet. :) I have just been having so much fun with her. Monday night we watched a movie over at Jessica’s house for the second week in a row. Then Liam and I both stayed over in her and Steph’s room. Tuesday I went out with all the high school boys for a bit. It was good to see some of them that I hadn’t seen in a long time. We always have a good time. Then I went over to Kate’s again and crashed with her again. Always a great time!!! I really can’t get enough of her…

Tonight we are going to grab a bite to eat and then possibly head to a show with Liam and Steph. I’m sure it will be fun whatever we end up doing. It’s a good thing when time flies by when you are with someone, isn’t it? We are officially the masters of killing time with good times…

Yeah so as of Friday I am taken. Sorry ladies. :) Seriously though, I couldn’t be happier right now!!! Kate is an amazing person and such a sweetheart…

Let’s see, the past few days…

Thursday night, we did not get a quarter barrel like originally planned, I just bought $60 in alcohol instead. I did get paid back though. We just did some partying over at Liam’s. It was a good time!

Friday I went to all my classes but one. What a surprise huh? Later on that night we just partied it up at Liam’s house again. Wait I think it was this night that I bought a ton of alcohol. Oh well, not really important. Fighty and I had some practicing to do so we played, and played, and played. 3 hours and 54 songs or partial songs later we decided to quit. :) Peter and Mark were jamming with us, and our version of Delicate Few was SIC! Eventually it was time for some sleep, so Kate, Liam, Steph and I went up to their dorm room. Always fun times there…

Saturday we were off to Columbus for the OAR show. What a drunk time that was. I don’t remember much past 2 AM, and apparently I was still drinking then. All I know is that it was fun, and I would do it again. I’m not gonna say much more about it right now, maybe later. But it is always good to see everyone again, especially Weeba who I haven’t seen in quite some time. We are guaranteed some drunk times together.

Tonight I went out to dinner and a movie with Kate. I finally ate at that Dewey’s pizza place. It is very good. Then we went and saw STAR WARS! I was really impressed with this one. I recommend everyone should see it, and do it soon. I guess it was really me and Kate’s first date. That is pretty funny if you think about it, but we are often in a group of people. It was a very good time, the best ‘first date’ I have had. :) She seriously makes me so happy, and I really hope it stays that way.

Alright it’s late and I’m worn out. Off to bed, take care…

Wow, I have been busy. Let’s see Sunday I just played a hockey game and rested up the rest of the night for the new week.

Monday I had another hockey game, then I headed to Clifton for what I thought would be an early night. It definitely was not, and it was the start of a very awesome week. Liam and I met up with Kate and Steph and headed over to Jessica’s house to watch a movie with her and Nick. We started with Cool Runnings, which I hadn’t seen in quite some time but always love to see. Kate was trying to study the whole time, but we were really distracting her. The test looked easy enough anyways, and I think she did good on it. After that movie was done, we put in Almost Famous. I really like this movie and was glad everyone decided on this one. I made it pretty far into the movie but eventually feel asleep for parts of it We walked the girls back home and by this time it was like 4 AM. I decided to just stay at Liam’s house and go to his early class with him since I would actually get more sleep then if I drove home.

So I went to his history of jazz and pop music class and learned about Rastafarians and Reggae. Pretty cool class. I went to a few of my classes, and then went with Kate to her Human Sexuality class. Here I got learn all about signals that girls give to guys and I realized how bad I am at picking them up, especially when Kate was telling me about the signals she had used the first night we met. I must have just been too busy playing Moose to realize. About signals though, is a lap dance one of them? :) It was a very interesting class, and the prof. is always very funny. I think I have been to that class 4 or 5 times and I have never been registered for it. After class, I decided to run some errands with Kate. We went out to her Dad’s house in West Chester where I got to meet him and Kate’s younger sister as well, oh yeah all the pets too! We ran around to do some errands, I got some tickets for this weekends OAR concert in Columbus for Fighty, Lenny and myself. It should be a hell of a time, especially since Weeba is coming up for this one. I have some of my drunkest moments with that kid. :) We also had to take her car into the shop to get fixed, and after all that was done we headed to Max & Erma’s for some dinner. I have really only been there a few times, but it is really good. She works there so we got a very cheap bill, and she even paid for it. What a girl! From there I had to some studying so we went back down to campus and I went up with her to her dorm room. I tried to study for many many hours but it just wasn’t working very well. I left there about 1 and headed home, the whole time thinking how great of a day it was.

The next day, my test sucked badly, but I tried my best. After all that Liam and I tried to find a house again. Yes, we are still looking for a place to live next year, but I have a feelings we’ll figure it all out soon. I had yet another hockey game, but this one was the best one yet. Kate came and saw our first victory. My mom also came, and my brother officially joined our team for the summer. We headed to the bar at the rink for a few drinks and the older guys were all buying pitchers to celebrate the victory. It was cool, but we had to head to the Saloon because it was a Wed. night! I even got my mom and brother to come out for a bit. It was a great time, and I did a little singing for my mommy and for Kate of course.

These last couple days have been amazing, it’s hard when they end. There is just something about this girl, but I am so happy when I’m around her, and I know you are reading this now Kate. I have to watch what I say, just kidding. :)

Tonight we are having a huge group dinner at Don Pablo’s followed up with some drinking and practicing for this weekends show over at Liam’s. It should be another fantastic day…
