Well, still no job for me. I’m really pushing everything here, but it still isn’t helping. It may be time to start looking at temp agencies.

Liam and Bobbi came to visit this weekend. We went to an OAR show, and had a blast as always. One thing I know after this weekend, I’m not a big fan of Steak and Shake.

Pig-Fest is this weekend!! I’m really excited for that. The drive might suck, but it will be worth it when we get home! Everyone better show up!

Saw Finding Nemo tonight. Good little movie and quite funny.

We found a bar that has REAL darts here. It’s called the Flea Market, and it actually has a small flea market inside of it. Pretty interesting place, but it was good to play darts!

Things are still going well, and the apartment is looking really nice. My pets are all fine, and I even picked up some guppies. Hopefully I can have some babies sometime, and if I get too many, I guess they will become turtle food. :)

I found a place to play hockey, but that won’t start until September, so I may need to find something else to do. Which reminds me, I have gone running with Kim twice now. The last time we ran 2 1/4 miles. It was too much for me.

I also have a severe ear infection, but I went to an urgent care place and it is getting better.

Well this week I’m really gonna start trying to find a job. Once I run out of things to do around here, I’ll be getting very bored…

Blogger has been messed up so my entries were not showing up. Kansas City is going great. It’s hot, but has cooled down this week. I really enjoy being around Kim all the time. I still have not found anything but cover bands here, but maybe sometime soon. Looks like my cousin Lauren is coming out here for softball next week and my mom might come along. Then Kim’s sister Bobbi and her friend Molly and Liam are coming out the next weekend. Then it will be time to go back to cincy for Pig-Fest. I have a job interview setup for tomorrow, and it is looking really good. I met one of the VP’s of the company at a bar that one of the ladies Kim works with goes to all the time. I’ll have to let you know how that goes.

The apartment is great and in a perfect location. We have been cleaning it up and organizing for awhile, and of course buying lots of things for it.

More to come later, it’s dinner time!

So I am completely done with school forever! I finished up yesterday, when I turned in my last homework assignment. It still hasn’t really set in, but I enjoy not having the work to do. I guess maybe it would seem more real if I had a job lined up. Oh well, I’ll have to keep on trying.

Tickets for Mraz sold out, so that really sucks. I shouldn’t have put it off for so long, but hopefully I can find a way to get everyone in to the show. The guys who are going to Bonnaroo are coming in. I haven’t seen Weeba in a long long time, so that should be a great time. Not to mention everyone else that is coming in. Party at 223 Bosley!

This weekend is going to be nuts. Hopefully Mraz tomorrow along with getting ready for Kim’s party. Then graduation and Kim’s party on Friday. Engineering graduation on Saturday, maybe some boat trip with Kim, maybe a party thrown by my advisor, etc. Sunday is my graduation party at home. It should be a fun one!

Things with Kim are excellent. Next week she will be in Kansas City looking for a place to live. This will give us a little taste of what it is going to feel like. I think it will be fine.

That’s it for now, back to work…

School is almost over. This is getting pretty scary. I guess I really have 3 more days left. Tomorrow we have senior project demo day, where we get judged on our projects. I have a Psych test Thursday, should be easy enough. Friday, I have a database quiz. I like the term quiz and not final, so hopefully that will be easy. I think our Prof for that class is trying to take it easy, she is also our senior year advisor. Then I have like 3 or 4 programs due next week. That will be the worst part of all. It is for my pass/fail class, so I just hope I can pass the damn class.

I guess I’ll be working at ITI until mid June and then from there, I don’t have a clue. I keep sending my resume out, and sending out replies to people, but I rarely hear back on anything. I got one job that I might be able to get, but it pays in the mid 20’s. That is awful. So not much has changed in the job search.

We are trying to finalize a day for this years Pig-Fest, which is the 10th annual. Either August 9th or 16th. On the 9th OAR is playing riverbend with 311, but I will be seeing the same show a week or two before. I’m thinking I could skip this one if need be. On the 16th Fate Hates Us already has a show, so playing at the party wouldn’t work out. That is the one problem, and it all comes down to me. :)

That is really about all that has been happening. Lots of partying for the end of the year, which I’m sure will only increase once we really do graduate. Too much fun!

Interviews are so much fun. Haha. It actually went fine, but what is up with the fact that I only get calls back from consulting type places. Weird. I guess I’ll have to wait until mid next week to see if anything is available for me.

I have an early copy of OAR’s new CD, and it is sweet. Everyone needs to make sure you go out and buy it next Tuesday. You will not be disappointed. They are gonna be on Conan, Letterman, and MTV. Good things are gonna start happening…

I’m hungry, time to find food!

I’ve realized that this is a wonderful place for new girlfriends to get all the dirt on me. I guess I should have realized that before. Oh well, it really doesn’t bother me. Kim said she isn’t going to read this anymore, cause I guess she didn’t like to read some of the older stuff. I told her to just read the new stuff and that should make her happy. Things have been going so good for the both of us, or at least I think so. She found out that she is starting work on July 7th, which is a little earlier than I originally thought, but if we make it up to the point that she leaves, I think we’ll be fine if we both want to continue on with it. I’m not too worried about it, and I guess that is my new feelings about so many things. I’m not worried about a job, I’m not worried about school, etc. School is almost over, I guess we have like 3 more weeks. All I know is our senior project is due next week, and we still need a bunch of stuff to get done. Once again, I’m not worried. :)

Speaking of jobs, I have an interview tomorrow at Cardinal Solutions. Here is a description from their website: We are a full eBusiness service firm specializing in systems integration, web graphic design, application development, and systems and network infrastructure. Our headquarters are located in Cincinnati, Ohio. Doesn’t sound like too bad of a place. Hopefully things go okay tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Well the work day is about over. Time to finish up a few things and go to my parent’s for dinner…

Hey!
Well this weekend was awesome. I got to see Fate Hates Us, July For Kings and Red Wanting Blue on Friday night. I’m very excited for the FHU CD to come out after hearing them play some of the stuff all polished up. The weather cooperated, so that really helped the night to be enjoyable. We attempted to watch Vertical Horizon, but soon got tired of them and left. Went back to Peccer’s place and drank all of his beer. :)

The next day we came back home and started drinking soon after. Sarnovsky, Kraut, Peccer, and Tracey all came down for Jammin’ On Main. After hours of drinking (2 cases between all of us) we headed downtown. Mraz was sweet, although the PA was not cooperating. We did some hippie dancing to moe. and enjoyed that for awhile. We then decided to leave, but before we could make it out we heard Mr. Roboto coming from the main stage. We all ran over to watch the Styx frontman play this song. It was awesome, complete with robot dances and everything. We left and went back to Clifton. Everyone definitely had a great time. Some other random things happened as well, and I would post a link to the message board that discussed it all, but I guess Sarnovsky deleted it. :\

Sunday, we went to the Red’s game. I should have caught a ball, but the guy next to me screwed it all up. Oh well, maybe next time. We had front row seats on the 3rd baseline. Great time down there.

I think we need to have a permaparty down here at 223 Bosley. It is always such a good time. I’ll just have to convince people to come down this weekend to see The Roots.

O.A.R. in 2 days!! This is going to be a great time. I’m gonna be able to stay down there at Amy’s parents house. Oh yeah, Amy is Kim’s roommate, I’m not sure if I mentioned that before. There will be a ton of people down for the show, and it will be my 50th show. I’ll have to try and get Tonight played. :)

The job search still hasn’t gone anywhere, but I’ve gotten the resume out to some places once again. Maybe I’ll actually hear back from someone this time, even if it is just to say that they got my resume. There is always McDonald’s…

It got cold out today, and that sucks. I actually considered putting all my long sleeve shirts away, but I had to bust one out for today. Damn Cincinnati weather.

Finding a job, or even looking for one really sucks. I haven’t got more than one callback, and the one that I did get is from a guy I don’t remember sending anything to. Oh well, I’m going for a group interview type of thing today, to learn about this place and what the job entails to see if I’m interested. Maybe I should get a hair cut. Hmm…

School is starting to get busier, but I still don’t want to do anything, just the minimal work to pass my computer graphics class. The others I would like to do well in, and have been getting good grades thus far. I would love to bring my GPA up to a true 3.5, but that seems like too much work.

Things with Kim are still going great, I’m looking forward to what can happen with this. I don’t want to jinx anything, but it truly is probably the best start to a relationship I’ve ever had. We’ll just have to see what happens.

I have some sweet shows coming up. It all kicks of with Big Free this Friday. Up in Columbus of course, and there are all kind of great bands playing. Then there is Jammin’ On Main with Jason Mraz and others. The next weekend is Springfest, which has the Roots and all kinds of other great bands. Wow, I’m going to be busy…

Guess I should try and do some work here. Have a good one everyone…

Well, school has not really been keeping me busy. I’ve been finding any excuse to not do work, although I’m still getting everything done. Senioritis has set in majorly. My job search, well it sucks. There is nothing out there that sounds good to me. I still have over a month, but I need to find something. :) Anyway, I haven’t been to that many shows recently, but there are a ton of them that are coming up. We have mostly been sitting on the porch or going to Murphy’s Pub a bunch. Darts and cornhole have been going non-stop. It is definitely a fun time right now.

Kate and I broke up. It was a very difficult thing to do because I’m not good with relationship type things, especially ending one. But it needed to happen, so I finally did it. I’m sure we will remain friends, it is just a weird time right now. Why is it weird?

Well I met someone new. Well I guess I have known her since we have lived her on Bosley, since she lives next door. Her name is Kim and she is a west sider, dammit! :) She is super nice and very cool, and I have been having a blast with her for the week and half we have been dating or whatever. I guess it all started on my brother’s b-day, which by the way was a very good time. I still think I got more drunk than he did, maybe that was because I was pretty buzzed when Tim and my dad showed up. We hit some bars and had some late night action outside our house and Kim’s. I guess my dad talked to her a bunch about marathons and west side crap. I ended up passing out on a chair in her apartment for the night, but the next day/night we hung out quite a bit. So far so good. The one bad thing is that she is leaving sometime after graduation to go to Kansas City for some job training. I guess she will be there for 9 months to a year. I wish I had more time to get to know her and such, but there is no point holding anything back, because it just seems so right. Oh well, I try not to worry about it, as everyone always says if it is meant to happen it will. She is in San Francisco for work shit, and I’m ready for her to come home, so we can have more and more fun!

I can’t think of anything else that has been happing. Graduation is quickly approaching. Feel free to send me whatever. :)
