OMG
Okay, so I was surf'n the web lookin up Slitherand I somehow got from there to lookin up nude pics of Charisma Carpenter. OMG, she was in playboy. Sorry, its just that I watch a lot of Buffy and then got hooked on Angel. Then Charisma Carpenter got a boob job (obviously noticable) and I was 8p. Anyway, I noticed int he corner of the page I was on was a link to Alice the Movie...OMFG. In case you don't know, my avatar is a pic of American McGee's Alice. It is game of Alice in wonderland and takes place a few years later after Alice through the Looking Glass. There is a horrible fire and only Alice survives. She is so traumatized that she goes catatonic and is commited. I think nearly 13 years go by before even a glimer of life is in her. The game is going back to wonderland to figure out what is wrong with Alice. You play Alice. And Wonderland is servelly Frelled up. It is a warped and demented place which mirrors Alice's (the real Alice) state of mind. You have to find the Red Queen and defeat her because she is destroying Wonderland. Well, when I saw that they are making a movie about this...well, basically your caught up. And guess who is starrign as Alice...Sarah Michelle Geller...yeah, I'm a little worried. First Silent Hill is a movie, then American McGee's Alice...sorry, it just that these mind fuck games that I really enjoy are being made into films...it is exciting. Now all they need to do is make a film for Fatal Frame.
Fasting Slither Crew
You know, although my life score is low, I don't think I've ever been more happier in my life. Which can be considered a bad thing if I knew what this score was some years ago. All I really know is, is that I like my life at the moment. Of course, all that will end in a month or so; no school, no job, no money, and moving. I have put out plenty of apps and Korea is not out of the picture, I finally found my passport. It has a picture of me with long hair. When comparing with this picture, I like the short way better (can't believe I looked like that everyday at school). In truth there was only one picture of me with long hair that was perfect. I'll see what I can do about finding and scanning it...what was talking about...oh ya. So ya, the only thing getting to me is my size. I know I don't have as big of a mountain to climb as Comfan, but hearing his progress almost everyday has inspired me some. Doing his plan is out of the question for me since I can't afford regular meals, but my tax return should be coming soon. With that I can do my 2 week fast again. It sounds hard but it really isn't. Basically I drink a juiced fruit and/or veggie, 2 herbal teas, 2 vitamins sup twice a day which entail 2 garlic and 3 spirulina (which I can drop since I found a tea with spirulina in it) and bottled water from Sam's (24 pack for 4 bucks). If I ever get really hungry, just grab some fresh watermelon. First you eat nothing but raw and undipped fresh fruits and veggies for two days while taking some fiber vitamins. Fast for 10 days. Then 2 day of raw fruits and veggies again. Clean ya right out. After this fast I felt unbelieveable. I'm thinking this time I might go a 3 weeks to a month. During this I might actually really get into my yoga. But unfortunally, i will not be starting today.
Slither came out today. Horror genre (not really). It is a remake of an old late 70's early 80's film. A meteor crashes and inside is this slug that jumps into your mouth, eats your brain, makes you the waking undead, makes babies inside your head, and makes your body seek other people to infect. If you shoot them in the head, their head explodes and releases the babies which scatter and go find someone to infect. You can kill them however you want but fire works the best. Anyway, this was a B movie back then with a little heart. One of the kids in the film had those crutches that you fasten to your arms. Anyway, he couldn't walk on his own. Well, during a scene the main character gets a phone message form this guy (best friends) telling him he is infected and can feel it in his brain. Extremely sad scene. But before he completely turns he gets up and is able to walk for the first time...then he kills himself. So yeah, a remake of this forgotten film has just come out today and I am going to see it, which means I'll be sneaking a burger or two in with me.
Also, 1031 was complaining he felt old with being in school with these youngins, well guess what, you ain't old til you have Motley Crew tickets and are exicted to see them, which is what else I'm doing today.
One more note. I was so close to playing this board game I've been dieing to play for like 2 years. Lord of the Rings: Risk. We had the board set up, we were ready to make the first move, we kinda understand the instructions, and Kat calls (i was babysitting by the way) at tells the kids it is time for bed...we look at the clock at it is a quarter to 8. Well, really it is a quarter to 9 because there was a blackout here for about an hour... ... ...It seems that everytime I get a chance to play a game or go through a dungeon that I've ben itching to do for a looong ass time. The moment I get to, it falls to shit. And everytime, I pack it all up, try to distract myself with something else (which usaully works) and swallow the anger and do everything but forget in how much effort it took to arrange this opportunity...everytime...btw I fuckin hate WoW for this reason.

Those Darn Kids and Their Darn New Technology
This is an article from Wired magazine:
How new media keeps corrupting our children.
by Tom Standage
US senator Charles Schumer says some videogames aimed at kids "desensitize them to death and destruction." But dire pronouncements about new forms of entertainment are old hat. It goes like this: Young people embrace an activity, Adults condemn it. The kids grow up, nobetter or worse than their elders, and the moral panic subsides. Then the whole cycle starts over. Here's how the establishment has greeted past scourges.
Novels:
"The free access which many young people have to romances, novels, and plays has poisoned the mind and corrupted the morals of many a promising youth; and prevented others from improving their minds in useful knowledge. Parents take care to feed their children with wholesome diets; and yet how unconcerned about the provision for the mind, whether they are furnished with salutary food, or with trash, chaff, or poison?" - Reverend Enos Hitchcock, Memoirs of the Bloomsgrove Family, 1790
The Waltz:
"The indecent foreign dance called the Waltz was introduced ... at the English Court on Friday last ... It is quite sufficient to cast one's eyes on the voluptuous intertwining of the limbs, and close compressure of the bodies ... to see that it is far indeed removed from the modest reserve which has hitherto been considered distinctive of English females. So long as this obscene display was confined to prostitutes and adulteresses, we did not think it deserving of notice; but now that it is ... forced on the respectable classes of society by the evil example of their superiors, we feel it a duty to warn every parent against exposing his daughter to so fatal a contagion." - The Times of London, 1816
Movies:
"This new form of entertainment has gone far to blast maidenhood ... Depraved adults with candies and pennies beguile children with the inevitable result. The Society has prosecuted many for leading girls astry through these picture shows, but GOD alone knows how many are leading dissolute lives begun at the 'moving picture.' " - The Annual Report of the New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, 1909
The Telephone:
"Does the telephone make men more active or more lazy? Does [it] break up home life and the old practice of visiting friends?" - Survey conducted by the Knights of Columbus Adult Education Committee, San Francisco Bay Area, 1926
Comic Books:
"Many adults think that the crimes described in comic books are so far removed from the child's life that for children they are merely something imaginative or fantastic. But we have found this to be a great error. Comic books and life are connected. A bank robbery is easily translated into the rifling of a candy store. Delinquencies formerly restricted to young people and children ... All child drug addicts, and all children drawn into the narcotics traffic as messengers, with whom we have had contact, were inveterate comicbook readers ... This kind of thing is not good mental nourishment for children!" - Fredric Wertham, Seduction of the Innocent, 1954
Rock and Roll:
"The effect of rock and roll on young people, is to turn them into devil worshippers; to stimulate self-expression through sex; to provoke lawlessness; impair nervous stability and destroy the sanctity of marriage. It is an evil influence on the youth of our country." - Minister Albert Carter, 1956
Videogames:
"The disturbing material in Grand Theft Auto and other games like it is stealing the innocence of our children and it's making the difficult job of being a parent even harder ... I believe that the ability of our children to access pornographic and outrageously violent material on video games rated for adults is spiraling out of control." - US senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, 2005

Update
2 post today be sure to check both out.
Okay, I did see V for Vendetta and thoroughly enjoyed it. I got over that anger issue, just needed to vent. The film was awesome, especially that intro part where V an Natalie character first meet. His long and articulate introduction of himself was dare I say outstanding, awe-inspiring, whimiscal, charming, and a little aluring. I have to admit, no matter what he did during the film, I found it hard to hate him after that...in a manly, sort of admire, kinda way.
We are very much thinking about April being our last month in the apartment (guess we should inform Dawn that we will be moving in). The OPD job fell through, for now, they have no positions open cept for voluenteers (no money in that). I might still go to Korea, let me explain. I finally was able to get the full info from Joe. The next day was St. Pats so I didn't check the web for the position. Saturday, I checked the site (and variation I could think of) and found that the site is down due to construction. Okay, so that happens. I have been checking everyday. The kicker is that when I went to the site to look at the data and found the site was down, it gave me a list of similar links and sponsor sites...each and everyone had something to do with Christanity...now, according to Joe, this site is to go to Korea and teach american culture (not just english)...I have a feeling I may be required to teach something more that just culture...but I will keep trying...if nothing happens, I have been looking into teaching just english in Korea/Japan/China area. It pays a little less and you sign for a year commitment but Rose informed me that she knew someone that did it before and all you are doing is more polishing their english rather than teaching it. If I do that, I would get a place to stay near the school and I would be rooming with 1-3 (I think) other teachers. I would be receiveing the equivant of 2,400 dollars a month and living expenses would be around 800 dollars a month...not bad (after taking into account all my other expenses i.e. credit cards, student loans, and car insurance) of course that is without taxes taken out I think but still not horrible...course with the Christanity site I would be making over 3k a month...if it ever gets up and running.
I have also been invited to go with Auston to Bend, Oregen in September...to live and work. Seeing as how it is difficult to get a job here in the area I want (certain number of years experience required for most postings, like 2-5 years in the field after B.S. degree)...who knows
I have a month and a half of school left then I dun gradjamatated. Their was this school in North Dakota that was exploring in the research that I am doing but I don't know if I'm ready to go to grad school yet...besides, I still ahven't studied for the GRE or the Psych GRE (yeah, I got to take 2 if I want to go to grad school), or applied. More or less worried about the immediate future than further down the road. Then, of course, I am going to try to register for the life coach classes at bellvue regardless of where I go (online classes).
Spoke and saw a lot of Allissa a while ago, most I have spoken to anyone besides Becky in a while. Also my pay check apparently comes 2 weeks late if you work at UNO, just how it works I guess.
Guess that is it for the update, keep forgeting to do my taxes and sift through all the crap mail I get.
BE SURE TO TAKE MY KRULL TEST BELOW THIS ONE!!! :) :) :)

Fuck Corporations
So get this, I, in a sense, won the opportunity to go with 1031 to see V for Vendetta. He calls me about an hour before the film starts to let me know. I have no problem with 1031 or his time of informing me. It is 6:25. By the time I get shoes, pocket stuff, coat, and bathroom it is a little after 6:30 when I head out the door. Like always, I stop at McD's to grab 2 double cheeseburgers (1 for me and 1 for 1031), it is 6:35 by the time I get back in the direction of the theater (got to love exact change). Due to traffic I reach the doors of Village Point theater at 7:10...the line is moving to get in the movie.
Let me back up here a little bit. I read 1031 blog that tickets for V of Vendetta were being given away at Krypton Comics. It was to late for me to get there so I wait for the next day. That evening, I see a commercial of Krypton Comics stating that they are giving away free tickets to V for Vendetta. The next day I call Krypton to find out if they have tickets left (why waste the gas, beside I was sure they still had some), They say "No," a little bummed but who cares right. So then I get an email from 1031 (after I post that they are out of free tickets) that says he asked someone else to go before he read my post about wanting to go, but if she falls through I get to go...cool, but no big deal...I don't expect that she will cancel...she does and now we are caught up.
I spent most of the day today in the car getting errands done (i like to condense chores into one outing, I don't like to waste fuel or my time). I totally forgot about the movie til 1031 calls me.
So the line is moving, I'm at the back. I just assume 1031 will be waiting at the theater doors to let me in. The line stops all of a sudden. There approximatly 30-50 people in front of me. This guy comes out and tells everyone outside that the theater is full...full?...how?...why?...god damn it...I drove all the way out here and they are full??!! WHAT THE FUCK!!! I wait outside in hopes that 1031 will come out and grab me cause he saved a seat...7:30...nothing...the guy who said that theater was full says to write the name, number, and address on the tickets and they can go see something else for free...i don't have a fuckin ticket...it is 7:30 I might as well as see what is playing...the only thing playing soon is "Date Movie"...that movie fuckin sucked...Everything else started at 7:00, 7:05, 7:10 sort of thing (not to mention they got shit for films at this theater) and the next showing of anything is after 9pm. Fuck this...I get home, eat my burgers, turn on the TV and what do I see...that fuckin Krypton Comics commercial about free tickets to V for Vendetta...I fuckin hate this town...in my 13+ years of seeing movies/films and seeing my fair share of sneak previews, never, NEVER, have I ever seen them turn people away cause the theater was full...never...Fuck Krypton Comics, Fuck Village Point, and Fuck V for Vendetta...i'll probably see it anyway, but it fuck it, fuck it right in its ear hole.
I check my messages and 1031 called me. He says he asked the ushers if he culd wait at the door and let me in when he sees me...no go...appearently the theater knew they over booked (in my opinoin, why wouldn't they let him do that otherwise). The only joy I got from this whole experience was the laugh I got from what 1031 said when I check my messages...he said that he really needs to get me cell phone number... ... ...I don't have a cell phone...haven't have one for 7 years... ... ... :)
P.S. I'm not mad at 1031. The situation was beyond his control and I don't have cell phone to let him know I was there.

The Libertine
I am currently working on a movie review section for my blog...people that know me, well, it just makes sense right? It won't be up until I understand programming some more so bear with me.
The Libertine: The film follows the second Earl of Rochester's adventures in London, from his passionate romance with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry, to the writing of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch who commissioned it, Charles II, leading to the Earl's banishment and eventual downfall. (this summary was taken from Omaha.com's movie section)
Starring: Johnny Depp - if you don't know who this is you have never seen nor heard about movies/films in your entire life - the second Earl of Rochester John Malet
John Malkovich - starred many films including "Being John Malkovich," "Con Air," "Shadow of the Vampire," and - King Charles II
Samantha Morton - starred in "Minority Report" as Agatha, the psychic girl, and "In America" as Sarah, the wife - Elizabeth Barry
Rosamund Pike - starred in "Pride & Prejudice" as Jane Bennet, "Die Another Day" as Miranda Frost, and "Doom" as Samantha Grimm - Elizabeth Malet (Johnny's wife)
An unbelievable film. The film captures the rawness of the era. The wardrobe and make-up are absolutely superb. As is the lighting and the constant dingy/smoggy weather condition is in full effect throughout the entirety of the film (except at the end). The Earl is a mean man who proclaims himself to be "the cynic of our era." He thinks very little of others, not because he believes himself to be above them but because of his distain for life and quite possibly also for his envy of them in being so naive. He hired to commission a play for the King about his rein. He accepts. The play itself is rather offensive to the king and his monarchy, is chased out of the kingdom where he goes into hiding. This is the main plot of the story. The second plot is about his heart. A line from the film makes a fabulous remark about it (also foreshadowing). "A man has 3 loves in his life. The cock love (the love of lust); the love that he marries; and the love on his deathbed (the love that brings his ultimate demise). While watching the film I have come to surmise that these loves can be found in the embodiment of a woman and/or are symbolic of addictions/passions/desires. In addition, the film is so lacking of sound that the theater is serenely silently throughout. And finally, there is a scene that never have I identified with more than this one. The scene where John has come to teach Elizabeth on how to become a better actress, a beautiful scene where they discuss a speech from a play but at the same time there discussions feel like lines in a play themselves (a little weird but very cool); towards the end of the scene John give a speech about why he just merely here to teach her how to be a better actress and is love for the theater instead of he sole purpose of trying to get into her knickers (which his reputation adheres to the latter rather than the former). Again never have I felt like I was giving a speech through the performer, which held so true for me, than here.
I give it a 1 out 5 raptors
Let me explain the raptor rating. Since raptors were very devastating creatures the more raptors, the worst the rating. The less the raptors the better chance of survival.
I did not give it a perfect score because after the scene that I was so moved by, another scene followed. A scene that I didn't understand and was hard to follow what it meant. The scene is John walking in a park with extremely dense fog all around him. In addition to the density of the fog, there is also a dense amount of people having sex everywhere; on horse back, on benches, up against tress, in trees, and at the end of his walk he comes upon a massive orgy. All the while he is giving a long internal monologue.
Over all a great film on a terrible man.

Physiologically Screwed
So, I go to Shey Salon & Spa for my haircut and highlights...my hairdresser moved to there from Beauty First...Anyway, I got a complimentary 30min massage coupon and went today to cash it in. Now before today, I've had 2 professional massages and well, an ex-girlfriend always asked for massages but everytime I asked for one she would complain and basically give one for maybe 5-10 min then tire out and quit (don't have real good luck in that department...getting reciprocation that it is). The last one said I was as easy to massage as beef jerky. I was a little reluctant to go due to this comment. Well, apparently the massage therapist concurred with this revelation. Now, I'm no dummy. I know all the physiology improvments and benefits from massage...I'm also aware of the finacial consequences it would put me in were I to go as often as the massage therapist suggested. I also know that she does this for an living and would like repeat clients...my chiropractor says the same thing.
To save the long blog I am physically fucked up...due to many problems and some idiotic choices, she said that I'm tight/tense...now the problem is how can I have so much tension/stress in my life when I really do lead a very low-stress life. Okay, that isn't really true...maybe. Well, anyway, until I am finanically stable (in a decade or so) I will probably get healthier...or I could quit school, not go to Korea, get a nine to five job with uniform and all where the only real relaxation I get would be going to my massage therapist and chiropractor...yeah that isn't really me...guess I won't be getting another massage for a few more years...so, yeah, ...I'm physiologocally screwed...myabe I'll start yoga...that's more like me...even though it was free though, I did tip very well...just felt wrong not to.

Cheez-its
In an earlier comment I mention a man who had stolen my cheez-its...(story time)
Upon Becky's graduation, she threw a party. I order to aquire many bodies for this party she posted time, date, and place on a blackboard in the chem room, assured that only chem majors would see such posting. Well, one chem major did...a 40-50 something year old man. This man arrived at our party and proceeded to creep out everyone (tall, big belly, rumbly voice like he was choking on a child he had eaten earlier that day). He told all sort of (fake) war stories...(we happen to have quite a few history and war knowledge buffs at the party). Carrie (bless her heart), an army brat, took it upon herself to bite the bullet an kept him occupied the rest of the evening by listening intently to each of his stories and polical issues.
At the end of the evening all that were left were like one or two CLOSE friends (who were going to crash due to inebriation) and this very crazy old man. Now, I know that it is the proper thing to offer a place to sleep to someone who has had way to much to drink (of other peoples beer) but I REALLY wanted this guy out of my house. I gave up (btw we drop an unbelieveable amount of subtle hints that it was time for him to leave and never did he ask or did we offer a place to crash). As I awoke some 3-4 hours later I walked out of my room to take a gander of the damage (hopeing to unnamed deities that he had gone). He was still there, not only was he still there but as I walked out of my room to see the goings on he looked up at me with one eye and literally growled. Stunned...I went back to bed for an hour when awoken by Auston's alarm. I didn't want to leave with this guy still in my place but I promised to take Auston to work in the morning so I did...
I come home and he hasn't moved...I really wanted him out of my house...so I did the thing I usually do every Saturday morning...Saturday morning cartoons...if Pokemon at high volumes can't force this guy out then I was going to have to kill him...I felt bad about the loud noise since Becky was still asleep but deprate times call for desprate measures...he awoke...
He began to watch with me...OMG I couldn't take it anymore...just when I was about to leap from the couch and bitch him out he got up and put his shoes on...and took his sweet time doing it...he got up and began for the door...I almost want to throw another party for such an abomination vacanting my residence...he then went into the kitchen, now we have a back door (which most people go through at that time due to front door problems). I just wanted to hear that back door open and close and I would be free from this torment...that didn't happen.
I heard what I could make out as to him rummaging through our cabinets...I got up immediatly and just then I heard the door open and close and saw him rush to his car...I was stunned again, did this guy just steal something for us? I took a quick look at everything in the kitchen cabinets and countertops. I saw his car speed away and then I noticed it...a box of Cheez-its was missing and I know he took it because before I took Auston home I grab some for the road...OMG this creepy old guy scared the shit out everyone at the party, stole beer, crashed at my place uninvited, GROWLED AT ME, and stole my fucking Cheez-its...Becky apologized numerous times for this guy and willing agreed that her guest inviting privileges to be revoke for some time.
Coincidently the good part of the story (and the only thing I can salvage from this experience) is that both boxes of Cheez-its I had never tried before...well, I tried both and liked one better...he took the one I didn't like at all, but somehow that doesn't douse my rage...god I hate people

Replies and Details...
Okay, to start thanks for the warm welcome...first Jen...I know :)...second Kris...I like Samwise better anyway :p...1031...Korea is only 6 months, if I decide to stay I will be transfered to another country to teach; OPD would rock the Kasba imo; and the house is on 35th and Hamilton, we don't know if and when we are moving yet...Poni... ... ... ...(waiting for Master Blaster)... ...
These posts will be many til I have shared all that has happened lately...so read often I guess.
Okay, anyway. I went to the Ben Folds concert last night in honor of a M leaving town. I don't dig Ben Folds as much as the people there did but M is cute so no competition. Her cool friend (Angie) came with as well as Aussie. We were also able to drag Dawn along. Okay, the concert rocked but let me give a run down of the people sitting near us: First, four kids (18-21 something) sat behind us playing with there PSP's...yeah really; Second, ADHD kid sat in front left of me and continued to turn around to check to see if people were rockin' and if not proceeded to shake fist in air and rock out to them until they did in turn; Third, front right, six seats, the two seats on the end had two guys on a date with 2 girls in the next 2 seats, the 2 guys proceeded to get trashed on beer while the girls texted each other, the 2 next seat had a couple guys hitting on the girls while their dates got drunk; Fourth, people on our right, now I was on the far left and didn't see this but apparently the guy was old, dirty, scuzzy, and hitting on Angie (i think); Fifth, second row in front of us and to the left...if a bit less muscular and longer hair...Napoleon Dynamite...; and finally the Man (Kyle) to my left...when the night started this guy started to talk to me like we had known each other for years...asked me to save his seats...when Dawn showed up, talked to her the same as he was talking to me and trying to hook me up with my friend...during the concert he punched me in the arm screamming "This Rocks"...he scared me a lot...I now have a new friend in Kyle...help me please.
Afterwards, M cons us into helping her move with pizza...it 10:45pm and nowhere is open. We drive by a Papa John's and see the lights on. We drive up to see the sign "No Carryout After 10pm"...we called and asked if they could deliver to our car out front...they did :)...
The rest of the story involved moving boxes, jumper cables, fuel, and, of course, the all important drunk Korean chic and someone named Crazy Mary...pretty cool "last night in town" celebration with as little beer as possible (I had 1 1/2).
Also, if you have never been, last Thursday and Saturday I went to DJ's Dugout. They have a dueling piano bar there...the piano players played Def Leapord's "Pour Some Sugar On Me"...on piano...it was totally awesome 8)

Me?...Sinful?
I'm not very good at programming...I went to comfan's site and did his Seven Deadly Sins Test and these are the results:
Greed: Medium
Gluttony: Low
Wrath: Low
Sloth: High
Envy: Low
Lust: Low
Pride: Medium
You know I equate this to my low stress life-style...not because I'm lazy...(insert stuff I need to say to get up in the morning...)
Low Ranking Nerd!!!???
I got a 61 on that nerd score thing on Argo and Itheil's sites. I'm apparently a nerd but low on the totem...I don't want to be on a totem in the first place...especially low...get off my ass high rank nerds...
Up and runnin'
Okay, check this out. My first Blog site. Yay me :).
Okay, down to brass tactics and what have you...
I may be moving with Becky and Jason to Dawn's place...she just bought this house and has a roommate already. I have been friends with Dawn for about 4-5 years now (probably less, but it feels that way). With five people; total rent at $420 (not including utilities); and 3 and half bedrooms...maybe, probably, most likely.
I'm graduating this semester of next (summer)...depending on when my info goes through...
I have a few possiblities after school:
1. Go to Korea - I have an opportunity to possibly to teach American Culture in Korea for about 6 months...I'm in the workings of getting all the information but it hasn't been very forth coming...
2. Attempt to sell myself to the Airforce and work in the motorpool...I would prefer to fly but my eyesight isn't good enough.
3. Get a job at the OPD as a civilian...according to my Forensic Professor, I can go and get a job today since I am in his class now...this a likely step if Korea falls through or after Korea
The rest of these are more or less ways to make money but take a little more school or time:
4. Become a certified Life Coach with Kat - just 2 classes apparently...still need to check on this...
5. Finish my At Home Course and become a medical billing specialist - I look into this a while back due to my anxiety for not having plans after college...it is good money, but I end up being the mediator between a hospital/doctor's office, the insurance company, and the person who needs to pay their medical bill. Not something I really want to do but a steady fall back in my opinion.
6. and last, Graduate school - I haven't applied yet...I found a school in North Dakota where a Professor and his students are exploring introducing video games as an educational medium in schools to improve adolecent development. (btw, this is my research)
Well, that is the update with me lately.
A few more things for a first post...I have a cush job sitting in a computer room and doing my homework all day...I'll lose it as soon as I graduate...since the hours suck though I'm gonna apply for another job (exact same job but different building) that was just posted.
My car was in an accident involving Joe's new girlfriend...she backed into it...I felt bad about getting her insurance info cause she is sweet and all but it needed to be done...
And now the juicy question...those that know who I am, probably wnat to know if there is anyone "special" in my life...no...never really has been (never a commited realtionship)...probably never really will be the way things go for me...I have grown a great comfort in my solitude (which may be a reason...don't what to give that up). If you have concern about this; Thank You, but if I don't get a girl by being me (i.e. not changing me for the benefit of a little pussy), then it isn't worth it imo. Becky and I have a long conversation about this just recently...I don't recall if it was alcohol induced...probably...anyway...
Here I am, I am on the board...
Okay, down to brass tactics and what have you...
I may be moving with Becky and Jason to Dawn's place...she just bought this house and has a roommate already. I have been friends with Dawn for about 4-5 years now (probably less, but it feels that way). With five people; total rent at $420 (not including utilities); and 3 and half bedrooms...maybe, probably, most likely.
I'm graduating this semester of next (summer)...depending on when my info goes through...
I have a few possiblities after school:
1. Go to Korea - I have an opportunity to possibly to teach American Culture in Korea for about 6 months...I'm in the workings of getting all the information but it hasn't been very forth coming...
2. Attempt to sell myself to the Airforce and work in the motorpool...I would prefer to fly but my eyesight isn't good enough.
3. Get a job at the OPD as a civilian...according to my Forensic Professor, I can go and get a job today since I am in his class now...this a likely step if Korea falls through or after Korea
The rest of these are more or less ways to make money but take a little more school or time:
4. Become a certified Life Coach with Kat - just 2 classes apparently...still need to check on this...
5.
