*Honestly, where ya at?:
(dorm.) back in the dorms!
*Honestly, have you ever had a plastic surgery?:
(no) still no

i'm really bored and it's been a long, long time since i've written anything here. anyway, winter break is going well. i've been staying up late and sleeping in pretty much every day. i went to a flyers game, which was an awesome time. i'm having a party next weekend. i spent new years with katlyn. good times.
i'm excited to go back to school though. i think my last semester as an undergrad will be a lot of fun. yeah. that's about it.
ummm... i dunno what else to write. i hope i get to see some people i havent seen in a while. well, comment if you'd like. hope everything is well with all of you.

i was trying to sleep just now, really just rolling around and banging against the wall, trying to get comfortable. i couldnt. and here i am. i was just thinking about some stuff, nothing important or interesting, you know, just "me" things and what not.
i'm happy. and that's what i wanted.
i'm not elliott smith. i dont need to be famous and sell a million records to be happy. a few loyal fans (friends) will do just nicely.
sometimes, i dont want to wake up in the morning... and then i realize i'm not dead and i smile.
oh, just one more thing... this beat is, this beat is, this beat is DEATHNOTRONIC!!!

a lot of you wont care about this one bit so just skip it if you arent a computer nerd like i am. well, to be more specific, a mac nerd. yesterday, at apple's WWDC (world wide developer confrence) the company i've come to know and love announced that they will be switching to Intel processors. this is a shocking move that no one expected.
in 1984, apple launced the macintosh. this machine is what defined the personal computer. it was the first computer designed with the "average" user in mind. it had the first mouse. it ran the first operating system with a GUI (graphic user interface). it was awesome. 128kb of RAM and 8 mhz of pure bliss. it was little beige box with a built in black and white monitor. wow. just wow.
skip ahead to 1992.
apple announces that they will be moving from the 68k family of microprocessors to the PowerPC (PPC), a chip developed jointly by Apple, IBM and Motorola. this is huge for Apple as it allows them to compete directly with the Pentium, which was introduced around the same time. the PPC architecture is superior to the pentium but later in its life, fails to keep up with Moore's Law and falls behind the Pentium in performance.
skip ahead to 2003.
Apple introduces the G5, the fifth generation of the PPC chip (get it? G5?). this chip is derived from an IBM server chip, the Power4. it's a 64 bit CPU that allows the system to access tons and tons of RAM and promises to close the gap with intel. Steve Jobs introduces the chip at up to 2.0ghz (which is a huge jump from the 1.42ghz G4s). Intel has breeched the 3 ghz mark but their progress is slowed. Jobs promises 3 ghz in 1 year. PROMISES! he promises something in the COMPUTER FIELD! time will tell if this promise can be met...
skip ahead to June 6th, 2005.
Apple announces it is moving to Intel CPUs. few details emerge. the transition is supposed to take place over the next two years, with systems shipping with intel chips in one year. All this just 2 years after the G5 is announced, the chip that was supposed to trump the P4 with all its 64-bit glory. the PPC is gone. long live the PPC.
that's all. i'm shocked. there are so many questions running through my mind right now. will the next version of OS X be cross platform? will this really benefit me in the end? will the software companies support this move? i dont know... i just dont know... either way, i'm buying a new iMac when my credit card gets here. i'll be a proud owner of a G5 iMac for at least a few years. blah. i'm just... blah...

sorry for that last one. i dont know what i was thinking. let's go with something a little more meaningful:
florida is one craptasitcal state. do not go there. nothing good can come of it. i mean, really, stay home. i've been to this place a number of times now and i can tell you with the utmost sincerity, i hate it here. i don't understand why people are attracted to this smelly little penis-shaped land. let's go over some of the positives and negatives:
- smells funny.
- rains at least once a day, usually more and usually when you don't want it to.
- old people can't drive.
- there are no hills
- there is no snow. instead, they have hurricanes.
- a Bush is governor.
- it's hot. like, really hot. all the damn time. and humid too. even in the winter.
- none of my friends live here.
- the beach here sucks. medical waste + tar = ruins your time in the ocean.
+ i'll be gone on saturday.
as you can see from this scientific study, 1 out of 1 jordan's thinks florida is a horrible place that frightens children and kills innocent kittens on a daily basis. not convinced? let me present exhibit B:
this was the sixth or seven picture i found when googling "florida sucks". i mean, look at those peoples' names? did you see it? matthiasomethingorother. WTF is up with that?
your honor, the people rest.

so, i was doing random searches on livejournal this morning and i hate people. i mean, what people right. why is everything so dramatic? listen to this excerpt from a journal (![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) easilychanged) i found:
the faucet drips to the beat of every pain-stricken breath you take, mocking your will to exist. oh honey, the mirror is smeared with your loathing and malignancy; with hopes of someone to break the locks of that bathroom door and read it
i mean, right? this semester, i wrote a few pieces of fiction and some poetry. and you know, it sucked. because there was no drama. no tension. no... crap. but you know, life isnt all about drama. think about it. most of our lives consist of stupid, meaningless, nondramatic moments. like sleep. and driving. and me sitting here writing this. shouldnt we write about those? should they be just as important as the weird, crazy, wild, sexy (yes, sexy) moments? shouldnt they? right?
anyway, here's my point: dont focus on the drama just because it's drama and it seems exciting. embrace every moment equally and have the same amount of awe towards the little things, like waking up or picking your nose, as you do the big things. tension is fine, but no more fine than listlessness. or boredom. or contentment. whatever. get it?

i know, i should write more. i know, i should. so, to compensate, i'll write a reeeeeeeeally long entry for you. please press fast forward (or chapter skip for you young dvd generation kids) if you dont want to spend (waste?) some time reading this. there you go: you've been warned. (author's note: expect complicated sentence structure, poor grammar, improperly used words, etc. it's rather late and i'm getting tired.)
h'ok. let's recap this year (that would be YTD or year to date, not this calender year as in 2005. get me?): broke up with sarah in august of '04, went to school somewhat down but definitely not out, felt pretty good about myself and hand high hopes for the future, didnt want to get into a relationship so i postponed things with a wonderful girl i met there, even claiming, nay, flat out lying about not liking her, then i go and do what any sane person would do and tell her how i feel, instantly causing her to cover her eyes and removing all possibility of a response (good or bad. you decided), then kiss her, which turns out to be the catalyst for the wild string of events to come, months (weeks, days, hours, depending on what you're counting in) pass and we "make it official" one night in november, lying in her bed, being human beings and holding each other, she agrees and i smile, kiss her, repeat, then roller coaster goes up one of those big hills, you know, the kind that it needs to be pulled up by the ratchety-chain thing? and my life lulls, things happen, nothing of major note (or can i just not remember? remind me), i make friends upon friends and the times are good, running around the halls naked (not me) and whathaveyou, do fairly well in my classes, all 18 credits of them, and raise my GPA to exactly a 3.0
winterbreak. christmas with katlyn. got wisdom teeth out. teh end (intentional).
spring semester included, but was not limited to, the events i shall now transcribe: got back to school with what looked like an ok schedule (find out later why it sucked), me + katlyn (or as i like to refer to her as "katylina", pronunciation may vary) = teh awesome (again, intentional), things things things happen happen happen (not really but i can't remember right now. remind me), skip ahead and the semester ends with me performing less than stellarly (lessly than stellar?).
i left on a saturday. it was the afternoon and i'd finished packing and putting things where they needed to be put. we didnt get to spend much time together because katlyn's room was still, let's just say, not packed. my room had been crammed into the trunk and back seat of my saturn. it wasnt pretty but it (somehow) fit. i swept the last few specks of dirt into a dust pan, looked towards the ground, flashed a quick smile and shut my door. i handed my keys to ryan, shook (that word looks funny) both his and mark's hand and went outside.
how should a person say goodbye? i dont mean in a never-coming-back-oh-my-god-i'm-dying kind of way. just, you know, goodbye. is a hug appropriate? we did that. a kiss? did that as well. did i miss anything? should we have maybe held each other longer? kissed one more time? run through the streets screaming "mi amor" (or however you say "my love" in a romance language)? doubt it. i think we did well. i know i'm ok. i know i didnt sigh or sulk or trudge (can you even do that in a car) or cry. i hope she didnt. crying ≠ good. the drive was ok. that's it.
here i am now. been home about a week and a few days. havent done anything at all with anyone of any importance (family excluded since i see them daily). oh, i saw weezer a week ago. that was cool. yeah... yeah... could be doing so much more but can't. should be. could be? will be.
ok. i'm yawning. that means it's time for bed. only took me ~25 minutes to write this. where does the time go? i doubt there's a specific place. it just goes...

(guess the E for a special prize. no points if you already know it and give it away.)

I grew up in a suburb of Philadelphia. It was like some of the more rural areas in Pennsylvania except everyone was rich and snotty. All the kids at my high school got cars when they turned sixteen and DUIs the following week. Gossiping was like grocery shopping, everyone did it on Sunday after church. All the housewives did drugs, usually antidepressants they wouldn’t need if they actually contributed something to society instead of just bitching about the leaky pipe in the basement of their million-dollar home to me, a Customer Service Representative (read: glorified cashier) at the local Blockbuster. Husbands went to work in the morning smiling and came back at night with white powder around their nostrils and lipstick on their collars. I hated all of it. There was no substance, no culture, no life in any of them. It was kind of pretty though.

again, long time.
i've been busy with school/world of warcraft... that's about it. school isnt too bad. my classes are goind decently and i have good profs. ummmmm... i dont know what else to say. i'm not very interesting.
i havent shaved in over a week. and i swear it looks like it's only been a couple days. i have hardly any facial hair. i left my razor (the shaving kind, not the scooter) at home last time i was there and my mom just mailed it up to me. i think i'm gonna go shave now. and shower. and drown... no... i wont drown... that's what you'd want...
oh well... you got me under your spell...

so, yeah. long time.
anyway, nothing much has happened. back at school. wisdom teeth gone. katlyn is awesome.
ummmm...
let me see... hmmm...
nope. i got nothing... anything fun happen yet at school? nothing out of the ordinary, i guess. lots of partial nudity on my floor. lots of world of warcraft being played on my floor (at least 5 of us). ummm... yeah, we're losers.
the snow has been nice. i love the snow. one time, when i was about 7, we had off from school and i went out playing, you know, the way kids do. well, we started a snowball fight, me and some friends and my brother. well, i was getting frustrated by the older kids hitting me in the face so i walked over to this wooden fence that was covered with ice. i broke a chunk of the crystaline substance off and hurled it at this kid who was hunched over in the street, hiding behind a car for protection. it hit him in the back of the head. he fell over, limp, and started shaking. a dark red spot began forming on his white and green NY jets hat. someone started screaming and i just stood there as the other kids ran over to help him. it was wild. what was i to do? i started running, running away, twards the woods behind my house. i sat on the ground for a while, replaying the event over and over in my head. it seemed like an ok thing to do at the time. they kept pelting me in the face with snow. since i wasnt as strong and couldnt throw as far or as hard as these older kids, i figured i'd throw something that had a little more heft to it. sounds like an ok thing, right? my brother found me there a couple hours later. i was trembling by then. he told me chris died on the way to the hospital. i just sat there. he tried pulling me inside but i wouldnt move. he finally gave up and left me there. i felt horrible. i spent the next 5 months going to different psychologists and doctors trying to tell me it was an accident. whatever. i'm over it.
