coulda, woulda, shoulda….

I was tagged by Gotshoo.com, so here it goes.

Here’s how it works. Immediately following there is a list of 22 different occupations. You must select at least 5 of them (feel free to select more). You may add more if you like to your list before you pass it on (after you select 5 of the items as it was passed to you). Each one begins with “If I could be…” Of the 5 you selected, you are to finish each phrase with what you would do as a member of that profession.

Once you’re done you point this meme at three people you think will be cool with putting in a good two cents on it. Don’t forget to add a profession to the end of the list with a link to your meme!

If I could be a chef, I would kick Emeril’s behind. Instead of “BAM!” I would use the tag word “HUZZAH!” because I think that it is funny and it is even funnier when people actually use it in real life. I would come up with a new style of cuisine which incorporates Mexican and Italian and it would be called Ita-Mex.

If I could be an agent, I would be the best at hooking up celebrities that need to be hooked up. But I would help out the celebrities that really need it not the people like Brad Pitt. I also would hobnob with the best of the best. Everyone would want me to represent them and get them parts.

If I could be an athlete, I would be a baseball player for the Chicago Cubs. I would hit every time I am at bat unless they walk me. I would take the Cubs to the World Series and win for my entire tenure there, which would be the longest career ever in the history of baseball and I would be a starting player until I am 57 years old.

If I could be an actor, I would try to be in every movie that Angelina Jolie is in. Because when actors do movies together then end up dating. It is their way of mingling through the hoards of eligible mates. So every movie we do together I start to grow on her and also the chances of having a love scene together increase too.

If I could be a psychologist, I would play mind games on people. I would be able to predict people’s behaviors before they even know that they are going to do it. I would have people eating out of the palm of my hand among other things…

I need to

I need to get better at talking about stupid stuff that I feel doesn't matter. You may ask why would you do such a thing? The reason is this. I have little to talk about with just working and such. No stories, no annecdotes, no realizations. Life is the same, day in and day out. People ask me what is going on and appear to really want a good answer or will even ask it more than once as though I am holding out on them. I am not.

Upcoming

I just realized that April is almost over. Today is the 28th and Saturday is the end of the month. That means that there are some birthdays coming up.

Jenny E May 2
Amanda G May 9
Kirsten A May 10
Philly G May 11

I'm sure they all want tons of gifts. ;)

Birthdays are the best. Celebrating the fact that someone was born and is a part of your life is an awesome time.

Underrated

Breakfast is the best. I am on a big breakfast kick lately. Eggs, bacon, sausage, and biscuits among other things. It could be every meal if that was acceptable. It is a great way to start the day. Good breakfast food. I'm not talking about a bowl of cereal. I'm talking real breakfast foods. I do have to say that McDonald's McGriddles suck. They are borderline nasty. Stick with the biscuits, croissants, and bagels. They are 10 times better than that McGriddle crap.

That's why we don't have nice things

I'm not big on shopping but I do like to have nice things. Can't I have nice things? Does having nice clothing make me girlie? I usually wear clothes until it isn't socially acceptable any longer. Like extremely holey, which sometimes doesn't stop me either.

Maybe I should just get a few moo-moo's and call it a night. You know, like that one Simpson's episode when Homer gets so big to get to work at home, he only wears moo-moo's. That is the life

Deals

Okay, I love Burlington Coat Factory. I just went shopping again. I got 2 pairs of jeans for 9.33 each, among other clothing. 6 things for 70 bucks all together. No more waiting until my birthday and Christmas for clothes. I think I can actually afford shopping for myself now! Ha.

So my battery light came on again today. Apparently getting a new battery was not necessarily what I needed to fix the problem. My car appears to be running fine though. I did need a new battery though. I have to go get light thing checked out soon. I don't want to be without a car for any period of time. I know how much that sucks as I went almost 2 years without a car of my own while up at ISU.

Blah

I was going to write about something but now I don't feel like writing. Just reread previous posts as if they were new and with more enthusiasm this time. What's your motivation?

OK People!

Okay, this is when I might start to get annoying. I am participating in the Multiple Sclerosis Walk this coming Sunday, May 1. Not many people have donated yet. Mainly family. You can donate/pledge a flat amount to me. It can be in 3 forms, Cash, Check (make checks payable to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.), or online funding through my personal pledge webpage.

Please hurry, not much time is remaining. It doesn't have to be much. Also, you don't have to donate at all but it is a great cause. I would really appreciate any donation that you are able to give.

I am working the door at the bar (Browns) this coming Friday AND Saturday nights. If you want to give me the money in person and not do the online donation then you can come by and give me the money there. Or get ahold of me some other way. I appreaciate any help you can offer.

Any Questions? Just ask. I will be more than happy to answer them.

New Fav

Okay, I have a new favorite song that is out on the radio currently. It is "Look What You've Done" by Jet. I have been trying to figure out this song for a long time but I could never seem to remember enough of the lyrics when I wanted to in order to find out what it was. I finally figured it out because it was in the movie I saw last night called A Lot Like Love which has a great soundtrack.

It doesn't quite beat this other song called "You Were Right" by a great singer/songwriter called Badly Drawn Boy

Gossip

Man, I am out of the loop. I hear gossip left and right. Some well known and some not well known. I like being there for people and it bugs me when they don't let me into their lives. Sure I give people crap but it is about the trivial things in life that don't really count. I'm serious as a heart attack when it comes to real life in friends lives. You may try to say that the trivial things add up and do count. Maybe but comparatively how often do you actually save your pennies? I know I put mine in the Give-A-Penny/Take-A-Penny cup quite often. It isn't hard to let the small things go. Life is short. There are bigger fish to fry.

Anywho, I like to hear things from friends first hand. Do you know what I mean? Heck, I call people friends for a reason. I don't enjoy hearing things 2 or 3 people down the line. Granted I am happy that I have even been included when it comes to this but come on. You can ask any friend, I am a vault. If you tell me something and say, let's not tell people. I don't tell people. If anything, I will discuss things after it is public knowledge. I think that is how it should always be in everyone's friendships. That is what a friendship is about. 1 on 1 interaction and confidence in each other.

Recharge

Ugh, I had to dish out a little bit of money this morning. I wasn't too happy about it either. After my morning shift I got into my car. Started it up. Then, the battery light wouldn't go off. I would rev my engine and once it revved high enough it would go off but then when the RPMs would go back down it would come back on. So I do what any sound minded individual would do, I called my dad. He gave me the advice of going to Springfield Battery Company which is out on East Cook St. across from WICS. I go out there. I explain what happened and they then started testing my alternator and then my battery. Turns out that my battery was bad. It was about 5 years old which is not good. So I got a new battery. I didn't get one of the long life ones because hopefully I don't have my car a whole lot longer. I dished out 36 bucks for the service and a 2 year battery. Not too bad and they were extremely helpful. My dad says that they are the best place to go for battery concerns because they know their stuff, are very reasonable, and get to the point.

Rewarding

Oh man oh man oh man. What a freaking weekend! Let me just say that volunteering at a walk is pretty darned fun. Granted if you didn't know anyone there besides yourself then it might not be as fun. I just got done helping out with the March Of Dimes Walk in Schaumberg. WE'RE SAVING BABIES! Was my battle cry. We were up at the buttcrack of dawn, no wait, we were up BEFORE the buttcrack of dawn and sat around waiting for dawn to happen. Then the set up happened. Then the walk happened. Then the teardown happened. We were done at the site by about 1:30pm. I couldn't believe that it was only 1pm because it felt like 10pm by that time. Especially since I had been up since 4am. Anyway, it was a great time. I worked a checkpoint along the route and stamped walker's "cards" with a smiley faced stamper. We handed out gum, nail files, and cups of water. We were very popular along the route. Especially because we were actually at our station. Some people started the walk an hour before the walk actually started. Can you believe that? Then they expected people to be at the checkpoints. I was like, um, I hope that they are there soon.

My muscles are spastic now. No really, spastic. Lifting boxes, carrying tables 100s of feet, carrying packs of bottled water to and fro. Hanging signs in 30 mile per hour winds is insanely fun.

Goodbye for now

I went and saw Emily tonight for her last night in town for a while. She lucked out and got an awesome position in Skagway, Alaska. I know about that town based on playing a computer game called Yukon Trail in which you travel the gold rush trail in hopes of finding a good plot. Better time you make, the more likely you will strike it rich. Anywho, She will be back eventually. I know that I will miss her presence and great sense of humor. Humoring me requires an awesome person to do so.

I don't belong

Have you ever had the feeling that you don't belong anywhere? That is how I have felt lately. I go out. I see people. I socialize, kinda. I have this feeling the entire time that I shouldn't be there. Most of the time I would rather be at home. When I am at home I would rather be somewhere else. It isn't who I am with, rather it is just me. It is a funk. I realize that. I'm not dense.

It is like that song lyric, "I don't belong here, something is wrong here"

I don't know

Sometimes I think things are great. Then I see that things are not great. Everyone seems to be getting on with their life except for me. I feel like I am waiting for life to start. I think it may have passed me by already.

Tonight is Em's going away gathering. I hope I can make it. I have stuff to be doing for class that I need to get going on. I've been procrastinating.

I'm really tired right now. I have to lie down.

Yesterday, Deron Williams of Illinois Men's Basketball is going Pro.

Yesterday, The world has a new Pope. Pope Benedict XVI.

Yesterday, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum was dedicated by President George W. Bush.

Yesterday was the anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Devin - I Want To Kiss You

Devin - I Want To Kiss You

Hey baby come here
I got something to tell you
See I've been thinking a lot about you lately
And well...

We've spent a lot of time together
I think I'm kind of in to you
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm feeling sort of nervous and anxious
To tell you what I'm going through

Well it might be the night
Or it might the bright moonlight
All I see is a wonderful need
And beautiful too
So precious and new
And this is all I wanna do

I wanna kiss you so bad
So bad it's driving me mad
I wanna kiss you real good
Oh and I'm wishing I could
(I, I, I wanna, oh baby let me kiss you)

I have a little tiny confession
I don't know what to do
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh I have a little tiny obsession
With something that's attached to you

Well it might be your eyes
Or it might be your nice big ooh
I don't know if I want my cover blown
I want the truth
Every time I'm with you
This is what I wanna do

I wanna kiss you so bad

Wasting away

I've been laying down. This knot won't go away. I took just one more ibuprofin a few minutes ago since I'm sure the rest is not out of my system I don't want to OD on the stuff. It is driving me insane. I think it is starting to go away then bam, it flares and tightens some more. I am going to lay back down. I hope that it isn't like this during my afternoon shift. I must be really stressed or something. I hope I don't get sick with something. Stress can do that.

'Nuff Said

Knot

I have a painful knot in my shoulders on my back right side. It is HUGE! This knot is so big that is could be used to tie the Titanic down at the dock. This is the second time in a week that this has happened. I just popped a few ibuprofin and hopefully they kick in soon because it is driving me insane. Honestly.

I might do a movie tonight. I haven't been able to get some of the regulars out so then I kind of lose interested if the regulars can't go. It is like, that is the base and then I build from there. If you're not a regular then that is your own fault. Call me and ask me about movies. I'm tired of getting no's from everyone. It is real disheartening when people seem so interested or else say that we need to do something outside of the bars and then say no when I set it up.

I stayed home all of yesterday and last night too. I watched the movie Death To Smoochy before bed. Great movie. I saw it in the movie theater when it was there and just purchased the DVD. It is a dark comedy with Ed Norton, Robin Williams, Danny DeVito, Jon Stewart, and others.

Wasting my time

Are you worth my time? Life is short and I think that everyone is worth a little time. But how much time? I've got my own life to live. When we are together it is our lives that we are living. How much should our life be? A little? A lot? Will you be there until the end or are you just a filler of the gaps in life? Are you filling the void or is there a void because you were not there to fill it? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?

Where are you going?

You come into my life. You cause a ruckas. You leave an impression. Then you leave just like that. How can you do this to me? What have I done to you? I never asked for any of it. I wouldn't ask you to take it back.

Monday Again?

Here I sit. It is Monday yet again. I tell myself everytime I've got to quit. Mondays are a bad habit. Of all of the Mondays in the world, Monday had to walk into my life. It just keeps showing up like a stray cat. I don't even feed Monday but it likes to come back in regular intervals and it lingers. Oh God, does it linger.

Missing

I miss you. I miss the times we had together. I miss the way that you used to look at me. I miss that you used to know me so well. I miss that you could tell me anything. I miss that I would do anything for you. Where did you go? Will I ever see you again?

Sometimes

Sometimes I feel so lonely. I feel as though there is no one around me. It is like the saying I'm surrounded by friends and I don't know any of them. It goes something like that. I think I just butchered it. That is why I don't tell jokes because I can never remember them properly.

I want to call people. I want to do things. I want to live life. I feel like something is behind me pulling on the back of my shirt saying, No. I just want someone that I can count on. I used to feel like I had that. Now I feel as though I have no one. Everyone is living for themselves which is how life is, so I cannot complain too much. It is all about number 1.

I talk to you. I call on you. I care about you and I don't get anything in return. It is like beating me down with a bat everytime I try to prop myself up and look around.

What is true friendship?

What is true companionship?

I don't ask for much. I am a simple man with simple ideas.

Block Party!

Oh baby, today and tomorrow are going to be great! I'm heading downtown shortly for the "Looking For Lincoln Block Party", which encompasses much of downtown with food tents gallore and tons of activities and they attempt to make most things free. So I'm going to head down there around noonish even though it started 45 minutes ago at 10am but it all goes until 9pm so I'm good on time. Is or did anyone else go? This is a historical event for Springfield and I'm there living it up baby!

I.E.

Okay, my Internet Explorer has been a dick to me lately. I'm typing this on Netscape because I.E. isn't let me get to my post page. Other things too.

So today I had great plans for my midday break. I was going to some straight home and start mowing. I do actually enjoy mowing when I get started. It is really good exercise and I also work on a tan out in the beautiful weather. Well, I come home. I eat. I then get really really tired. I can't stay awake. I think, I will just nap for 20 minutes and then I hit snooze a million times and end up sleeping for about 2 hours. Then I have to go vacuum over at the family next door's apartment and change a light bulb. By the time that I get done with this I have less than an hour before I leave to head back to work. No more time to mow. I'm so pissed at myself. Now I will have to mow in the evening after work when I will actually probably be more tired than I was this morning. Plus I work the door this evening so mowing between jobs and staying up late is always a great combination.

Now I've got about 20 minutes left before I head back to work. What to do? SO much time yet not enough.

Weather

Today is beautiful outside. I've been stuck inside reading for class tonight. I think that I may go sit out on my deck and finish reading while the sounds of nature (ie. birds, squirrels, and dogs) serenade me.

Losing grip

I feel like I haven't been seeing people as much lately. As I say all along times are changing and it is hard to stop it, if at all. People are moving on with their lives. This period of time of living, working, and having fun is coming to an end for some people in certain aspects. I expect to start seeing people even less. Not because I don't want to see them nor the other way around but because they don't have time because of their new habits and life they are molding. I try to fight it. Not that I don't like change but sometimes a drastic change is not needed. To stop calling your friends is a sad thing for a friend to do. To not hang out. Friends hang out because they enjoy each other's company and expect to have a good time. New friends come, old friends go. Life goes on. What was the saying that old friends are gold? I think people forget that after a while. I know I haven't forgotten but if I am there and you are not and it happens time after time you force me to forget rather than deal with the pain of disappointment.

irk

I don't like it when people assume things about me and my personal life. It is who are you to say what and who I like. It is my life and the my is infront of life for a reason.

Summer Work

Not too much else going on in the world of Kyle. I have been accepted into the Summer Scope program so I will still be employed this summer. It will actually be more hours for me. 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. So no crazy long breaks inbetween shifts. Also no getting up at 6am. Well, that is if my predicted shift doesn't change.

FitKyle

Yes folks, last night I finally made it to FitClub. I WORKED OUT! Wahoo! It was pretty good. I feel much better that I have finally gone. The trick is to keep going. What I did was I walked for 40 minutes on the treadmill, then I did about 20 minutes of weights, just enough to refamiliarize myself with the machines. Cardio is what I really need to focus on. I think I may hit up the cycling machine next time in addition to the treadmill. I went by myself too. It would have been nice to have someone there with me but alas I did not.

Good news

Taxes done and mailed.

Bills caught up and there is just a little money left over.

Purchased gym shorts and khaki shorts because I had none. Now I can go work out....

I forsee no more snow until late Fall.

Mels started her Ho-Mann job yesterday. Goodluck to her!

Saw FEVER PITCH with Nat, Nat's friend, and Kirs. last night and it was awesome. I highly highly recommend it. Jimmy Fallon is awesome.

T-T-T-TODAY JUNIOR!

"Oh Veronica Vaughn! So hot! Want to touch the hiney! Arrroooooooo!"

This weekend was a fast one. I had some major life drama on Friday which nearly spun my world out of control. Worked the door at DH on Friday night. I did not work on Saturday as I was a patron at the biggest birthday party of the year. The link to the site revolving around the party is to the right. Mr. Shoo should be posting pictures and videos and all that fun stuff on his site or the bday site. So everybody hound him about it because he likes to be a slacker and sit around and watch the Discovery Channel all day and all night. Nothing but mammals.

I'm the last man standing and I think that I may just have to sit down because of it. Creemy, Crowy, Monchichi, Mr. Shoo, Theed, and Rd all are attached now. That's awesome. Good, great, grand, wonderful. So, what does that mean. No more fun. Think about it.

Sure there is fun to an extent because I know you'll try to name off examples. It isn't the same when you have to consider more than yourself.

Me being bored again

I'm a nerd. I don't care. I know what I like.

Helping out Nonni

This is an email I got from a friend. Please read and if you have time help out. Thanks


PLEASE HELP A SISTA OUT:

Okay... As some of you may know my boyfriend, Josh, has a band that is
really awesome. He is the lead vocalist and the rhythm guitar player (and
'founder' i guess). Anyway, his band entered the new band showcase contest
for Cornerstone Festival and they made it into the Semi-finalist. This is
like a BIG deal, because 16 out of the 24 semifinalist go on and actually
PLAY at cornerstone on one of the big stages. Cornerstone festival has
apprx 25,000 people in attendance, so a good amount of fresh faces would be
able to hear them play.

Here's the dilemma. Since his band has been working hard on making a
quality CD, rather than doing concerts and building a fan base, they don't
have that many fans, because they haven't played any shows (however, their
music is soooo fantastic). And to be a finalist, people/fans have to vote
on the Cornerstone website for their favorite new band.

This is where you lovely friends come in:
I need you to vote for his band. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE And, if you
could, send this to as many people as you can that appreciate and support
good music.
This is how you vote:

1. Go to this website:
http://www.cornerstonefestival.com/newbandshowcase.cfm

2. Register as a voter by clicking on the "registered user" link

3. Put in your info. (trust me, they won't send you junk mail, it's
perfectly safe)

4. Check your e-mail which gives you a link to vote.

5. Vote for The Glass Music Box only. (i suppose you could vote for other
bands, but it gives Josh more votes and others less. )

6. Then pass on the info to all your friends!!

To listen to his band's music (so you know what you are voting for) go to:

http://www.purevolume.com/theglassmusicbox/

and you can either download or just listen to a couple of their songs from
there.

I would REALLY REALLY appreciate if you could do this favor for me. (and
send info to others). And please let me know if you have voted so I can
send you a big e-mail kiss.

I LOVE YOU ALL.

Freaked out

Do you ever get so freaked out that you might lose someone close to you that you are actually calm? I think this will pull through. Life is so fragile though.

You don't knoooooooow ME!

I try not to dwell on relationship type stuff. Granted I think about it. It is only natural. I get my hopes up. I get crushed. It had become a pretty common theme with me. So now, I don't get myself too emotionally involved. Even if I come close to involved it seems easier to brush it off my shoulders. I try not to talk about it as much either. Why? Then people have expectations. Oh, Kyle likes so and so. Do this and do that. If someone wants to give advice, ask if I want to hear it and then don't be petty about it. I don't need pettiness. I am not in junior high. I don't need people slipping notes in lockers and such. The only thing that is sometimes helpful from friends is a small bit of information along the lines of, "That person likes you." Plain and simple. The plain part is the statement the simple part is that there is proof like, someone said it and it is true. I don't want to chase a rainbow and then at the end only find a penny that has been flattened on railroad tracks.

Stupid Guy

So yeah. I'm out at the college getting ready to meet the guy for the project again. I stopped for some breakfast and then headed here right after that without stopping off at home. I like to be early and hate doing unneccessary running around.Well we were supposed to meet at 10:30 and at about 9:50 or so he calls me and asks if he can push it back to 11:30 instead. I'm like, I guess that is okay.

So now I'm sitting here and I have way too much time on my hands. I need to be at home cleaning the house in preparation for my brother in law's visit this evening. This will be giving me less time to do it in by Dividing up my midday like this. This isn't even a big project that we are working on. We just have to figure up enough to say in front of the class about this essay that we read. We don't even have to turn anything in. The teacher suggests writing it out just for the purpose of helping us get through talking about it in front of the class.

Well, I just decided that I am goign to go home and then come back. Fun stuff. Peace

mmm lunch

SO guess what. I went to vote today. I specifically went to vote on the proposition of merging the city and county health departments. Well, guess what slipped my mind. I don't live in the city. I live in Woods ide Tow nship. Granted I have a Spfld address but not in the city limits. So yeah, I got to vote on a fire department expansion thingy or something. And a whole lot of people, that were uncontested. I'm like, Ha, I should just not punch their hole, that'll show them. But I punched the holes anyway. It would be more intersting if they had some competition, I'm sure.

So after I took my mom to vote with me, I kidnapped her and took her out to lunch. It was my treat for her birthday which is tomorrow. We are all going out for dinner as a family tomorrow night so I figured she didn't need to be eating out 2 times in 1 day, she isn't a big eater. But I took her to O'Charleys for lunch and it was mmm mmm good. We both got salads. Fried chicken salad for me and pecan encrusted chicken salad for her. Both were very good.

I've still got an hour and a half to kill before I go back to work... what to do... what to do?

Runnnnnnnnning

So I've been running around today already. I woke up extremely tired. I seriously did not want to get out of bed. There are days when I'm like, ugh work. But today was a day where I was like, can barely open my eyes. I wasn't up late either. I don't know what's up.

But yeah, did the work thing. Then on my way home I stopped off at McDonalds for breakfast. I haven't been there for breakfast in forever. It was sooooo good.

Then I decide that I want to wash my car. So I do a drive through and the blasted car was left bird poop on my roof. I'm like, what the heck!? Oh well, besides that one spot it looks very nice on the outside...

Then I think, hmmm, tomorrow is my Mother's birthday. I had better get her something. There is something that she has been saying that she wants for a while now so I went out and got it for her.

Then I headed home.

I'm about to go vote in the local elections. Then I am treating my mother to lunch afterwards. She hasn't eaten yet today so she is up for it.

I love keeping busy with fun stuff. It makes me feel as though I have a life, or something like it.

Spring is in the air

So yeah. I was out at LLCC today and I got a whiff of a surprisingly favorite smell today. The smell is that of grass being freshly cut. Does anyone else like the smell of a freshly cut lawn? I think it is a wonderful smell. It is so earthy and naturey and very distinct.

Well, I was out at LLCC this morning after my morning shift to meet with a classmate to work on a project that we have been paired to do. We agreed on meeting at 10am and swapped cell phone numbers. Well, I didn't want to go home and then not feel like making the journey out to the school in the cornfields so I stopped and got a soda and chips and then made my way there. I ended up getting there at about 9:30am. I figure I will sit in the library in the middle area and work on what we need to do until he gets there. When he arrives he will see me right away. Well I work and work and wait and wait. 10:30ish rolls around and I'm like, hmmph. So I call his cell and see what the hold up is. I ask him, hey, what's going on? and he replys with getting ready to go to class. So I chime in, when would be a good time to get together for the project. Then he realizes that he plum forgot about our scheduled meeting. He appoligizes many times and then we reschedule for Wednesday at the same time. Obviously if I am calling him then that means that I am out there. He knows that my only class is the class that we have together so I wouldn't really be out there for another reason. But that is all squared away. I assume he won't forget again since he has done it once and felt bad about it. It should stick in his mind a little better.

So what do I have planned for the rest of today? Not much. I'm thinking about maybe seeing if someone wants to do lunch. Maybe not. Although it is almost noon at this time and I actually am not really hungry. Eh, I think I just talked myself out of it. HA. Maybe I could go to the park and go for a walk?

I still need to get to the Club. Yeah yeah, I am a huge slacker. Go ahead and yell at me now...






Done yelling? Okay. I'll wait...





There, I hope that is out of your system. My biggest thing is that I don't really have any shorts. All my khaki shorts are non-existant due to holes that had been worn into them and made them unwearable. I don't have sweatshorts. I have a really old ratty pair of shorts that I only use to sleep in anymore. So, what I really need to do is get some clothes before I feel comfortable to work out. I'm even down to 1 pair of jeans due to holes in other pairs too. I'm not big on buying clothes because clothes cost money. A lot of money. Granted clothing is usually a good investment, a lot better than food or alcohol because it is actually material and you have something to show for your purchase when you get it. It is just that is costs so much! I'm a big guy and big guy clothing is usually pretty expensive. Although I have recently found reasonably priced big guy clothing at Burlington Coat Factory.

Sounds like...

Does a guy and a girl going to a movie together alone constitute a date? I guess it can. In my eyes it is not a date unless both parties willingly see it as/say it is a date. I go to movies often with just a female companion and I do not view it as a date. Sure, sometimes I kick around the idea that it would be cool if it were a date but alas it is not a date. I have a tough time with girls that are friends liking me for more than friends because they already see me as a friend and then don't want to lose me as a friend so I always stay a friend. Does that make sense?

I know that there are millions of guys in the same boat. I befriend someone first then it is all over after that. I would have better luck with a random girl who I have no idea what she is like personality wise. I am not into that though. I like to get to know someone before deciding whether or not I would be willing to date them. I can figure out if I like them physically rather quickly. I am a guy. It is just figuring out if our personalities click or not that does me in. Because while I figure out if we click, I get placed in the "friend zone" and that is like being blacklisted from dating a particular girl.

It helps if girls tell me things. Like, hey K, this is a date. That would help a clueless man out.

This is generalizing. Please do not point fingers. Thank you and have a blessed day.

More for... YOU!

Here I sit at my computer. It is a beautiful day outside and I haven't left the house yet. I want to call people but I don't know who to call or if they are busy. It would be so much easier if people just called me.

I did a little more tweaking with the links section of my site over to the right. I made more individual sections. Now there is a Sports section and a Movie section (which includes JLHB's awesome movie reviews) in addition to the Band section and Noteworthy sites sections that I already had. I debated whether or not to put the cardinals webpage up but I thought about it and cardinal fans can get to their site through the Cubs site. I might change my mind later. It depends. Anywho, check out the links. I post them there for your convenience so that you can enjoy what I enjoy. Friends, Movies, Sports, Music, and Randomness.

Blog posts have been sparse lately. Don't think that I don't realize this. It is my blog. You cannot complain too much because there are the extremes like Ed's blog and Jessie's blog, they don't post too often anymore. This past week was spring break at work so that meant 8 hour days every day. It had its highs and it had its lows. It was exhausting. I just didn't have much to write since I did not do much else besides work.

This weekend has been alright. Relaxing. I worked the door last night. And Oh yeah,

THE ILLINI ADVANCE TO THE NCAA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP on MONDAY, APRIL 4th, 2005!!!

The Illini continued their "fairytale" season right into the championships. Just like I said from day 1, this team is going all the way. No doubts about it. I had faith. Just one more team to beat and the history making season will go into the record books. The Illini have never made it to the NCAA National Championships before. Previously in the past 100 years, the Final Four was as far as they made it and then lost. The 100th year of Illinois Mens Basketball is truely a spectacular year.


ILL!
