Sitting in the new Center for Innovation computer Lab. It's hella nice in here. Last night, was kinda shitty, but I'll blog about that later. I have a lot to blog about actually. I talked to Peter, blech. Nathan turned 21, so we're getting sloshed this afternoon/ evening. Robyn is coming home, I get to see her. Woo Hoo. Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Woooooooooooooo Hoooooooo!
In about 9 minutes, I'm leaving the house to pick up NNN, Sarah and Danielle. They're going to Foothill with me, and at 11:50 we're officially on our way to Fresno! What's in Fresno? Well, our dear friend Kevin, and TOOL! Yep yep, going to see Tool tonight. I cannot wait. They are just so amazing and yeah, I'm excited. I'm looking forward to partying with Kevin too, it's been a few months since I've seen him, should be lots of fun. If I have time, I'm supposed to call one of the guys I work with, since he lives down there. It'd be cool to check out his house.
Well i think that about sums it up. I really miss Lisa, hoping to head over to her place on Sunday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
So yeah, I found out something interesting tonight. I was having dinner and my brother and sister were around and started talking to me, and somehow Humboldt came up.
"Ya, mom doesn't want you to go up there. She thinks you'll flunk out."
"Yeah, she thinks only stoners and hippies live up there."
"Oh really?"
"She doesn't want you living with Nathan either, if you come back with any tattoos or piercings she'll kill you."
That pretty much sums it up. I don't know whether to laugh at this, or feel hurt or what. I mean, yeah, my mom is kind of nuts at times, but who isn't? I think I'm more hurt at this point. The fact that my mom thinks I'll flunk out is horrible, and especially since she told this to my siblings, whose combined GPAs might equal mine. I'm also upset that she'd be so mad about me getting a tatto or piercing. Obviously I have no plans for anything like that, but I think I should be allowed to have them, should I so desire. I'm wondering whether or not I should confront her on this shit. Any opinions?
Sooo much to blog about...

Physics
I have hated Physics all quarter. It has not been fun in any way at all. The teacher is absolutely horrible! The class is boring and I rarely pay attention because of it. So naturally my grade in the class reflected this. Not good. Well today I went into admissions and changed all that. Yep, I dropped the class. It feels so good not having to worry about that class. It's the first time I've dropped a class in college, it's kinda of weird, but yeah, it's for the best.
History
Since Physics (read: shit) has been dropped, there is no way I can continue being a Biology major and still expect to gaduate from Foothill in the spring. Soooo, I'm changing my major to History. I've already taken a fe history classes at Foothill and loved them. I also scored A's in all of them. I only need 5 more history classes to get my Associates Degree, so that's the new plan. I just hope I'm doing what's right. I know I'm doing what's fun, and what feels right, but I'm still kind of unsure of myself. It's like, I've had this grand plan for years, and now it's all changed. I just don't know...
Stagnant
Well, I'm not sure I've updated anyone that reads this thing about the band, but here's the situation. I'm, for the most part, out of the band. We all talked and decided on what was best for everyone. I have been so busy I cannot practice as much as I used to, and there is also the fact that this year is my last year at Footill, meaning eventually I'll be transfering off somewhere. Soo, we decided that I'll continue with the band and if they find someone inerested in playing with them to start trying them out. I figured that it took Adam so long to find me, that it'd probaby take a while for them to find someone new. Nope, two weeks later they found someone. I went to drop my drums off at the studio, on my way to see Lisa and saw a drumset where my drums usually go. I talked to Adam the next day and he told me they had found someone interested and were trying him out. I said that was cool, and asked if I could play one more show, he said that was cool. I have no idea if I'll actually get to play a last show, I really hope so though. We still hang out and party and everyone is cool which is what I really like. So that's what's going on with that.
Humboldt
I think this is going to be my school in the fall. Nathan has been trying to get me up there for over a year and a half, but I think he might have succeeded. We've got plans to get a house and shit, which will be awesome. I am so looking forward to NOT living with the parents. It is unbelievable. I just really need to get out. If I go up there, I can transfer to the Eureka Costco, which will be cool. I'll be making like $10.75/ hour by the time I get up, which is more then enough. Rent is only $1200 a month for a four bedroom house up there. I'd be able to make a month's worth of rent in a week's worth of work. Very nice!
Lisa
Not too much to report here. I'm still with her, and we're still having fun. I can tell a slight difference in me since we've hooked up and it has definately been a good thing. I'm glad I'm with her, and just feel so lucky.
Last Weekend
Last weekend was a lot of fun! On Friday I worked and then went over to Adam's house to party. I got there about 10:00 or so. Adam, Brent and Lisa, however, had been drinking since 7:00, so I had a lot of catching up to do. I walked in and started in on the Sierra Nevada. I had one in me before I got to the table, and half the second one. I double fisted all night. We played Kings, and then played a double deck game of Kings. Absolute madness. I ended up having 9 or 10 Sierra's and then started in on Coors Light. Needless to say, I was ALL kinds of fucked up. It was tons of fun. I passed out ound 4:00 and woke up around 9:30 or so. I ended up making myself throw up after I'd been for a while. Felt much better after that. Eventually I packed up and hit Mc Donalds on my way to work. McDonald's new slogan should be "With enough grease to absorb all the alcohl you drank last night!" There's nothing like a McChicken and fries when you're all hung over. It's the best thing ever.
Work was a challenge on Saturday, but I made it through. I got out around 8:00 and hung out with Anna and her boyfriend Dave, and his buddy Kevin. We all went to dinner at Chili's and then Anna, Dave and I went to Dave's place and played Scrabble. I kicked ass with triple word score on "oxide." I got home around 1:30 and wanted nothing more than to go to sleep.
Sunday I worked from 10:00 to 6:30. I wanted to leave early, but we were busy so I had to stay. After work hit the road. I planned on stopping by Lisa's for a little bit and then continuing on my wayup to Davis to see Robyn. I got to Lisa's by 7:30 or so. We hug for a while and enjoyed each other's presence. =) I took off from there around 8:40 and headed up to Davis. I made it to Davis by 9:30. Robn and Ihad not see each other since August so it was exciting to see her. We've been friends since 6th grade, she is like my sister, but much cooler. We had a lot of fun talking and joking, remembering shit from our past. I got to meet her new roomate Brian. Very cool guy. The three of us split a bottle of Captain Morgan's and then started in on the Crown Royal. We got nice and sloshed. We watched some movies and then went to bed. I got up the next day and loafed a bit, ate some food and then headed home. It was really nice going up to hang with Robyn.
Last Night
Last night I went to
The Fillmore. The Fillmore is one of the most amazing concert venues in the world. It is just FULL of music history. It was the home of Jefferson Airplane, Santana and a little band known as The Grateful Dead. There are posters and pictures everywhere from over the years, it is just amazing to walk around and look at everything. Everyone should attend at least one concert their in the span of their life, it's just awesome! Last night's line up was HammerFall, King's X and Dio. Total butt-rock fest. I had a great time though. Seeing "Rainbow in The Dark" performed live was a thing to remember for sure!
Well I think that's everything for now. Hope everyone is doing well!
Today is the day I change my life. I'm almost kinda scared, and yet at the same time, excited. It's definately a strange feeling. However, it is something that needs to be done.
I'm dropping my physics class today, which means I'm no longer a Biology Major. Let the festivities begin.
So last night I came home from work and watched ER. Having gotten home around 1:30 the night before, I was exhausted last night. I watched my show and decided I'll just wake up an hour before I need to and get my math homework done before school. Well I woke up,showered and took out the book only to find out the next assignment is not due until Monday. So I turned on the tv and MTV is doing a Run DMC marathon. I still can't beleive someone shot Jam Master Jay, a true tragedy in the world of music.
In other news, tonight I'm working then heading up to the city for my friend Mike's surprise party. Tomorow I open and then I'm hoping to head over and hang out with Lisa for a while. Sunday is more of the same, opening up at 7:00 am then heading over to Adam's house. Going to watch the 49ers stomp the Raiders, and have some BBQ while we're at it.
