I can drive 55.

 
word!

Yeah, I've had a nice drink tonight, and am working on another. But, it's my friday. No work OR school tomorow! ROCK! White Russian with Chocolate syrup (Mudslide?) HELLA GOOD! Yeah...

Not too much to blog about. Should probably be reading, but that is what all day tomorow is for.

So, I think anyone that reads this thing knows about what happened with me, Gorge 2002 and the camera crew. If you've forgot it went something like this:

Camera: Hey guys, how's it going? So who's your favorite member of the band? Is it Dave?
Me: Fuck Dave Matthews, I want to have Carter Beauford's baby!

Well, my girlfriend and her house-mates found this endlessly entertaining and are waiting to see if I'm on the DVD set. I hope not. Anyways, I went over to their house last night and they have a poster up of Dave and a caption pasted onto it that reads "James, what about my baby?"

I almost died laughing, it's absolutely hallarious!

Not too much else to report. Nathan, Sarah and Kelly are going to the Gorge on the 27th to see James Taylor. I am SOOOOOOOOO jealous! I could have gone. However, certain financial responsibilities are not allowing it. I mean, honestly, I could not pay off my credit card balance this month and go, but it would not be smart. So I'm staying home. =/ Damn responsibilities.

 
So I'm sitting here listening to Ben Harper. It's 3:06am. Yeah.

I keep drifting in and out of moods of sleepiness and complete awakeness. Right now, I'm completely awake. I wish there was something cool to do right now. I have no school or work tomorow, so it really doesn't matter too much how late I stay up, which is really nice. At the same time, I have to be considerate of the others in the house and keep myself quiet.

I've lately discovered a new love for Ben Harper, it's some seriously great stuff. I've never not liked it, but I was never really into it. Howerever, as of late, it's been in HEAVY rotation. Another band popping into my collection, The Flaming Lips. These guys are just cool. I really like their song "Race For The Prize" check it out if you can, it's good stuff.

The other day I was reading Tiff's blog which I hadn't done in months(sorry Tiff), and stumbled upon an old post about "home." It got me thinking about where I am right now, where my parents are and how I really don't have a "home" to go home to. They bought a place in San Luis Obispo that I've never even seen. The house I pretty much grew up in, back in Redwood City is now inhabited by some weird family. There's some kid sleeping in my room, the room that I have 17 years worth of memories in (moved into that house when I was four.) Somebody is sitting in the same backyeard that I had a 7 day BBQ & Beer bonanza last August. Someone is taking a shower in the bathroom with the extra tall shower head that the plumber installed specially for me when we remodled. Someone else is sitting in the family room where I watched Mr. Wizard, Pee Wee's Playhouse, He-Man and a slew of other great TV shows. When we first moved into that house, I was four. I had no real attachment to the old house, I mean, I can still remember it, but not much. The house in Redwood City was "home," and now, it's someone elses' home. My new home is here in Eureka. I like it. It's nice, it's cozy and it doesn't have parents. At the same time, I know it's completely temporary and that in less than two years, I'll be packing everything up again and moving on to greener pastures. I guess it's the lack of security that bothers me so much. When I moved up here, I had to pack up everything I had, because I couldn't be sure anything I left behind would be there in the future. So right now, my room is cluttered with all kinds of crap. Stuff under the bed, stuff in the closet, stuff on the shelves, stuff on the floor. It looks like a rumage sale gone awry.

Not sure where any of this is going, but somehow, it feels good to get it off my chest. Tomorow the goal is to get some of this crap cleaned up. Organization will prevail. I have a filing cabinet and plan to get all the loose papers into it, or into the recycling bin, the latter would be prefered, but when it comes down to it, I'm a big ol' pack rat. I just recently got rid of most of my highschool stuff. Still have my Biology binder though. That thing is a full 5 inches thick and was the reason I was a biology major for a year. It's here. on the shelf in my closet, along with my 8 million baseball cards.

OK, time for something else. If you read all this, sorry. I'll get something more interesting up here soon. Now go download that Flaming Lips song, it really does kick ass.

I think there should have been a "You're Captain KFC, fuckass!" or maybe there is and I just didn't get it....

 
Well, as anyone can see, it's been weeks since my last update. I've been having a blast though. Life on my own is AWESOME! I love not living with my parents. The roomate situation is going well for the most part. Between work, school and my girlfriend, I get out of the house just enough to not be annoyed with anyone I live with, which is essential!

Speaking of the girlfriend, things are going really well with Kelly and I. It's been 2 months, which sounds like not very long, but it feels like we've been together forever, and I like it. We're totally comfortable with each other and things are just working out nicely.

School is going pretty well for the most part. I got into History of Modern Ireland. That class is simply fabulous! The professor is really cool and funny. I'm also taking African storytelling, which is cool, but the class lacks structure a lot of the time. I have another class entitled "Africa in the Global Perspective" and so far we've just been learening very basic things, the class meets once a week for 3 hours, so it's been kind f tedious, but I'm sure it will get better. Lastly I'm taking the most useless class I've ever taken. It's called "Intro to History Major." When I transfered to HSU, I talked to an advisor about it and was all "Umm, I have a History degree, do I really need to take this class?" The answer was Yes. =( The class would be usefull if I was a freshman and had never written a college paper before, however, I find the class boring and useless.

Not too much excitement has been floating around in my neck of the woods. Just been working, schooling and hanging out. Tonight Kelly is coming over to hang out with everyone. We're going to watch "Queer Eye For The Straight Guy" on Bravo. The show is absolutely hallarious! It's 5 gay guys that go around and help one straight guy every week get cleaned up, so he can impress his girlfriend/ wife/ whatever. It's really really funny. Check it out, Bravo, Tuesdays @ 10:00.

Not too much else going on. Found myself a nice cheap plane ticket out to Texas, just need to actually purchase it. I plan to do that in a week and a half, after I get the credit card paid off. So excited for the wedding! Can't wait to see everyone, it's gonna kick so much ass!

Well, have a good day everyone. I'm going to try and post again on Thursday. Hopefully....
