and yay for 3 days off, even if i am working everyday from now til sun ('cept thanksgiving)!
and yay for going to a restaurant on thanksgiving so i don't have eat turkey! :P

so yay!

Here's to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play
They tell me this is the place to be
All these beautiful people and nothin' to see

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I don't belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And I've lost what I found, it'll all turn around

...On the other side of a coin
There's a face there's a memory somewhere that I can't erase
And there's a place that I find someday
But sometimes I feel like it's slippin' away

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I don't belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And I've lost what I found, it'll all turn around

uncle kracker in a little while

i win!

fun with horoscopes day :P

Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Cancer, the fourth Sign of the Zodiac, is all about home. Those born under this Sign are 'roots' kinds of people and take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family. Cancers are maternal, domestic and love to nurture others. More than likely, their family will be large, too -- the more, the merrier! Cancers will certainly be merry if their home life is serene and harmonious. Traditions are upheld with great zest in a Cancer's household, since these folks prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag whenever possible. A Cancer's good memory is the basis for stories told around the dinner table, and don't be surprised if these folks get emotional about things. Those born under this Sign wear their heart on their sleeve, which is just fine by them.

The mascot of Cancerians is the Crab, and much like this shelled little critter, Cancerians are quick to retreat into their shells if it suits their mood. No wonder these folks are called crabby! For Cancer, it's not that big of a deal, though, since they consider this 'shell' a second home (and they do love home). The flip side of this hiding is that shell-bound Crabs are often quite moody. Further, in keeping with their difficulty in sharing their innermost feelings, it can become a Herculean task to pry a Crab out of its secret hiding place. What to do? Give the Crab time -- eventually these folks will come out to play again. When they do, they'll be the first to say so, in keeping with the Cardinal Quality attached to this Sign. It's said that Crabs are first to laugh and first to cry, so you can bet they'll fill you in. That shell, by the way, isn't the only tough thing about Crabs. These folks are tenacious and strong-willed and like to get their way. If their well-documented kindness and gentleness doesn't do the trick, however, they're not above using emotional manipulation to make things happen. If that still doesn't work, they'll just go back to their shell and sulk, or find a way to get back at the source of their pain, since Crabs can be rather vindictive. That said, any self-respecting Crab would tell you that they are ultimately motivated by protecting their home and loved ones, a most noble goal.

Your Rising Sign

Aries Rising:

If your Rising Sign is Aries, whether you like it or not, people always look to you to get things started, to lead the charge, and to say the things that no one else dares to say. You seem confident and blunt -- and like an easy puzzle to put together. People think they understand your motivations. On the negative side, you might appear too intense and forward -- even self-absorbed. Don't be surprised if others expect you to respond jealously in love. That is the Aries way, and for all the world, you look like an Aries!

this is just all about good music week :P

Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.
Yeah, you can go there if you want
Though it fades too soon.

So go on, let it be.
If there's a feeling coming over me,
Seems like it's always understood this time of year.

Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.

Well, there's a football in the air,
Across a leaf blown field.
Yeah, and there's your first car on the road,
And the girl you'd steal.

So go on with yourself
If there's a feeling that there's something else.
Seems like it's always understood
This time of year.

Well, I know there's a reason to change.
Well, I know there's a time for us.
You think about the good times
And you live with all the bad.
You can feel it in the air,
Feeling right this time of year.

Well, there's a feeling in the air
Just like a Friday afternoon.

-Better than Ezra, This Time of Year

The words you say I'll never listen to
Cause if I did I'd be just like you
Cause you're my enemy and soon you're gonna see
You gotta be yourself to be happy
Cause you're not, you're not

Fucked up visions in my head
I'm a fucked up kid is what they said
But at least I know all the things that I want
And it's all the things I got

Cause you're so quick to point the finger
You act like your shit don't linger
It feels good when you see someone else in a rut
It gives you confidence it makes you happy but
You're not, you're not

Fucked up visions in my head
I'm a fucked up kid is what they said
But at least I know all the things that I want
And it's all the things I got

Cause you act as if you see my way
But I know that you won't leave today
Cause change is what you fear the most
That the end is getting close
And the end is getting close
And the end is getting close

Fucked up visions in my head
I'm a fucked up kid is what they said
But at least I know all the things that I want
It's all the things I got

Fucked up visions in my head
I'm a fucked up kid is what they said
But at least I know all the things that I want
And it's all the things I got
And it's all the things I got
And it's all the things I got

-Mest, Fucked Up Kid

i think i just might be ok...

so basically.. since i did so horribly on my mg2101 midterm, i'm just going to kick some butt on class participation.. do some extra crap on my cases, and just have to show my final who's the boss. so yeah.

ss152x, if i feel off the planet and never showed up again or did another assignment, i might only get a B... that's good to know.. but it's good to know i still care to work my butt off on the work and extra work cause i want to know it (and given it's my major, that's a good sign!) and learn...

ce3021.. well, the professor is nice.. i'm prolly doing B work right now.. i don't know what it would take to get an A though, but maybe, just maybe, i can pull it off. :)

and i still suck at badmiton, but i go, and that's all that matters... :P

today sucks!

"ooh... cosby's unbuttoning his shirt... oooh i see cosby chest. ooh.. everything i touch becomes porn!" -jen(n)..again

"it's ok to watch scrambled porn, cause then you can't tell if their pants are off" -jen(n)

yeeaahh.. um..

is that your dildo in the kitchen cabinets?

yeah, i dunno..

walking home from wpi today...

jen(n) randomly says... "you know what i think is romantic... "
colleen: "whaaaat?"
jen(n): "i mean i dig you, but not in that way. but colleen, i do dig you."
colleen: "what the hell are you talking about?"
jen(n): "you know what i think is romantic... finishing off a bottle.. but not romantic in a 'let's get it on' kinda way..."
colleen: "like romance languages kinda way... like olde english.. like when they used to cut off an arm then drink brandy to make it all better meaning let's thin the blood so we die quicker.."
jen(n): "olde english is not a romantic language! it's dramatic (that's what i heard, apparently she said 'germanic')... i mean romantic like passing the bottle and talking all night.. you know what i mean?"
colleen: "yeah jen(n)"
then colleen proceeds to almost fall on her ass into traffic..
jen(n) continues merrily along across the street
colleen: "damn, i almost fell right on my ass into the cars.."
jen(n): "good thing you didn't, i wouldn't have noticed.."
colleen: "yeah you would just been going on about how romantic it all is and how olde english is so dramatic.. and would have been sitting the road (flailing arms) in my black shirt where no one could see me getting run over..."
jen(n) laughs uncontrollably at the truth. :P

why isn't my blog showing up! grrrrrr...

the b-term good news reel:

- 82 on ce3021 midterm.. and that class sucks
- 20/25 on my mg2101 quiz.. with a "Good Work!" to boot
- all my mg2101 hw has been correct so far, so he always calls on me
- which translates into an A for participation
- SD is fun, i get the hw's in advance, tell him what's wrong and what sucks, then do them in like 10 minutes.
- I have to decent MQP ideas that i'm going to start formulating and taking to prof's about
- slam poetry was fun.. my favorite slam poet did my 3 favoritest of his poems.. and there were some other kick butt poets there too
- christmas will be here soon! :) and then i won't get as wierd looks for listening to jim henson and the muppets christmas album
- i have a new cell phone that has a keylock... which rocks... cause i needed that

i don't know what else.. the work this term sucks.. plus i'm slowly becoming more and more broke so i need to regular work more.. and i need to find another job to work nights during the week... but that's ok.. it'll be cool..

:)

i've also decided that today's blog will be done in many steps, cause it's more better that way..

yeah, so i've decided i need to get more into creative/poetry/artsy mode again.. that was always fun.. i miss it..

i love that people from the military come to my site all the time.... i wonder what they think i am doing?

"You can't interrupt me when my brains in *shiny* mode" -jen(n)

jen(n)'s funny

and i'm a little teapot.

i can't wait for b-term to be over... please..

winamp 3 sucks!

What Office Space character are you?

slam poetry at coffeehouse tomorrow night!! i loooove slam poetry... it's gonna rock, so you should be there..

tuesday
8pm
riley commons

yay :):):)

so yeah... jen(n)'s "boyfriend" was in a band.. called the hot rod orchids

that's all i have on that topic :P

keep on rockin' in the free world

plan:

take the pedastal she's sitting on
flip it over
and shove it where the sun don't shine
and see if she can figure it out then.

yeah. i'm fucking mad.

Cancer:
"If a delicate balance revolves around you, it means that you're at the center of something. Bravely take responsibility and delight in the consequences. The Universe can be made to serve you."

i.e. the world revolves around me.. who's the cool kid now :P:P

i'll be happy when this week is over.. but it just means more work next week.. but that's ok. cause b-term is that much closer to being over..

so theory is, to keep my A vs. B tally balanced, I need 3 A's this term (cause i got 3 B's last term). It really may be possible, but my first exam in ce3021 will put that class into perspective.. mgmt accounting looks promising, depending on the group work most likely, and given i'd prolly have to not show up or do anything for the rest of the term to not get an A in ss152x, i'm ok in that department (although i did only get a 14.9 out of 15 on my first assignment).

jist: there's a lot of tedious work this term, but it'll be cool, and should be good grade wise

on the FIRST front.. i'm crew chief again, or chief of tactical operations as it is now called... we got a lot of good people on the cabinet this year, so it'll be a good year..

in other news, i shall attempt to keep this blog boring, as jen(n) keeps trying to read it as i write it and i won't let her.. she thinks there's something good to look forward to.. but alas! tis nothing (hahaha.. i sound like bootleg husband!!)

hmm.. whatelse. yes, we have no bananas today. that used to be the name of my website. it may need to return in some way shape or form. i think i need to find my old website on aol, cause i think it's still there.. ohh.. an adventure for some day where i'm not dead tired. yeah, that's not going to be anytime real soon.

i'm off to bed... long day tomorrow.. (or today actually).. check the AIM profile for the details..

for now, i sleep to a sound track...

"all colleen's horses and all colleen's men couldn't put jen(n)'s husband back together again..." - fake nightmare dating catastrophe #23

on that note... an excerpt from the "Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Dating & Sex"

How to carry a date that is passed out

1. Plan to carry your date only for a short distance
Your destination should be a nearby couch, taxi or bed.
2. Prepare to lift
Bend your knees and place your stronger arm under your date's back and the other under his knees. Your arms should go all the way under and across his body.
3. Begin to lift your date
Use the strength of your legs and knees, holding them close to your body and keeping your back straight. Do not lift with your back!!
4. Stand up quickly
In one continuous motion rotate your date's body so that your stronger arm guides him over your opposite shoulder. The motion should be like tossing a sack of potatoes. His upper body should be hanging over your back, his lower body hanging over your front. Steady him with your other hand.
5. Walk to your destination

Useful excuse of tonight: "Not tonight, I have a meeting"

tuesday nov 5 (tomorrow) is election day.. everyone should go vote..

but be an informed voter
http://www.massvoter.org/
http://www.state.ma.us/sec/ele/

see ya at the polls :)

go to timmy's site and look at our team pic from bash.. we're cool.. oh yeah :P

screw that... my horoscope for today kicks ass!! that's all that matters... laying the smack down..

Cancer:
"It's better to act out of character than to be stuck with the wrong script. Someone has you walking on eggshells. Put your foot down and don't be afraid of the noise that you make."

yeah, so i need to somehow get the fan-ship back to my website, I suppose i could start with actually blogging again.. which can certainly happen given the massive spans of time i have during the day between classes and my general tendency to not want to accomplish anything during them and the fact that i have a lot of stuff to say, stories to tell and wonderful monologues that i can digress into while blogging, which always makes for random loads of entertainment. if it wasn't 2:20a i would start now. but alas, i'm frickin' tired so i'm not, so there.

so yeah, the plan for this week
- begin blogging regime
- new-ify the other pages rather than just the blogger page to the new theme
- possibly add some new features cause yeah, i know you come here for the features.
- be less vengeful, no matter how much vengence reigns supreme
