Phuck

Phuck. Fuck, spelled instead with a PH. That about sums it up.

I'm so tired of my iPod.

What color are Lobsters?

Well, this weekend has been a flurry of activity. It all pretty much started with the Chesapeake Jubilee. It was quite enjoyable! Myself and Emily tried to get ahold of a few friends, but they were all unavailable at that point.
Rain! Rain started pouring down a little bit after Emily and I arrived. Unfortunately, they had to shut down the rides during the rain, but it was a nice little sidetrack. Like Em said, it made the time more memorable, yes? I definitely bonked my head on the underside of the awning we were hiding under. Ouch! I definitely have a big bump right now.
So, we rode the Crazy mouse, the something or other... I don't really remember the name, and we both ran through the MtV fun house. Good times! The Crazy Mouse was pretty fun. We both discovered that we were apparently on the wrong side of the ride. We were on the Sad Side. Bummer... "Don't do it!" "This ride sucks!"

Anywho, after the Jubilee, we both went to our respective houses to get a fresh change of clothes. The rain really put a damper (HAHA) on things, and we both had to clean up. After getting changed, we went to Plaza Azteca with Katie, and had a grand ould dinner. After the dinner, Troy met up with us and we went to the ABC store to get some rum. Daquiri time! Emily made the Daquiris, and I got the cups. I Help-ED. We played kings, got a little scrambled, and established many good inside jokes that will be used in the future. Fun was had by all! Emily got a headache around 930, and went home to get some much-needed sleep. At first I was reluctant to force Troy to be my "chaperone" of sorts, but it worked out great. He and I went to Keagans, and bought about 4 rounds of drinks. After a while, we got a bit tired of the place, and went to Guadelajaras. I guess it really wasn't that great, because we weren't there for more than a few minutes. Back to Keagans! This time around, me and Troy sat down. We kinda sat there for a few minutes, then I walked over to a table with a few ladies and asked them if they would come and sit with us. Stephanie and Joli were their names, and we talked about this and that, really. They were both from the Dominican Republic, and were studying full time at ODU. Joli was studying to become a nurse, and, well Stephanie, I don't know... lol. So, we continued to talk for a little while, until the place closed. Outside, we met up again, and I suppose we are supposed to talk sometime on thursday. I dunno about hanging out though, seeing as I will be super busy ALL week with this CompTIA course. Wish me luck on that!

Back to the topic at hand... After the Club, we went to Dennys to get some food. I met and talked to one of my old highschool (friends?) and found out that he gained like 50 more pounds, and turned gay. Me and Troy drove out to Emily's house to pick up my car (3 AM), and I ended up getting home at 330. Everyone was safe, and sober.

I woke up really late this morning, and was supposed to go to church, but I kinda slept in. It was needed sleep though, so it really did work better that way.
For breakfast, I had eggs, and an english muffin. I feel that english muffins make me more sophisticated, thus warranting consumption that early in the morning.

Lunchtime was interesting. I took a bit of a nap, then ran out to the oriental grocery to grab some more rice, and some squid. This was a bit of an experiment, i suppose. I threw a bunch of Bok Choy, leek, chili powder, basil, and squid in the frying pan. I added a bit of rice vinegar to the concoction, but I suppose I forgot to add Chemical X, because the end result was nothing less than... odd tasting. But it was still good! I just have to say that whole squid is the messiest thing in the world to prepare! A few of those gnarly little guys had their ink sacs broken, so ink was seeping out everywhere. Lovely. Oh, and I had rice too.

Okay, so the end of this blog is nearing. I pretty much plan on going to Ems house tonight to make cookies for her construction worker friends. Apparently they amuse her greatly.
Tomorrow I start my Linux certification course. Should be challenging.
Allright, signing off for now!

Topic Blogs

Okay, so this is going to be the first of a series of "Topic Blogs", as Emily put it so well. I'm assuming that multiple people will be writing these too.

This first Blog will we "Places to Live". I suppose it's a bit of a lame idea, but you have to start somewhere, right? :)

First off, I'd really enjoy living ANYWHERE tropical. I honestly don't give a damn where, just as long as It's warm. I guess that would be a great place to start my business. Ohhhh yeah. Hydroponics, reefkeeping, that sort of thing. It's gonna be sweet. Anyways...

New Zealand.

Hell yeah. I'd love to live here. Experience all four seasons in one day? Yeees.

Hawaii.

I'd want to be a hobo. I'd build my own treehouse, have a trusty dog as my pet and friend, and just grab bananas out of trees. In the mornings, I'd wake up, go diving for lobster, and chill on the beach. Yeah. A hawaiian hobo would be the life for me.

Maine.

Even though it's not tropical or anything like that, I love that state! It's full of all sorts of things to do. A seaside cottage would be awesome.

Bear with me while I work out the kinks of these blogs. Hopefully somebody else writes a better one, that way you have a better template to work from.

Raivotar

I'm eating my soul food again. Tuna. Man, this stuff is so easy to fix, and it tastes sooo good.
I think my next adventure will be Salmon. It's pretty easy too, I hear. Just have to learn how to discern raw-edible from just plain old edible.

If you start that Cafe, I'd totally cook for you. I just need to practice fixing other stuff, because I'm sure all those people would get tired of Tuna, Breakfast, and Tacos all the time. LULZ.
Lulz? Wtf is a lulz?

Peace sells, but who's buying?

Regardless of the question fired back at me, the answer would still be a "Yes". It was an interesting question though. I made the statement in earnest, but then, was asked to rethink it. I suppose if you can think it through, and still arrive at the same conclusion, it just verifies your original statement. But I still would. Regardless of the question.

This week has been a flurry of activity. I figured having 15 minute workdays would give me a chance to relax. I was right, for the most part. I've been able to get a full night's sleep, as well as hang out with the people I love the most. Next week is my school! I've got my practice exam loaded up on the computer, but all that remains is for me to open it up and take it. Boring. I just have to push myself to get it done.

Meanwhile, yesterday was freakin' awesome. I can't thank all my friends enough for coming out to Coastal. I know it was sloppily thrown together, but those are the best of times, right? Tony, One Step Closer will never be the same again. You freakin' rock, dude. I have to give you props, because screaming a song in front of a crowd of 30+ people takes some peaches. [Yes, I said Peaches]. I just don't want to weave traffic again with a 5 car entourage... yeah, that's not my bag. Also, a thanks for you guys showing my buddy Troy some love. He's completely new to the Va Beach scene, and just needs some civilian friends, if you know what I mean.

Super Mario World 3 should have a handicap setting. That level was hard! And then, when you actually want to die, you can't even do that! Yeah, talk about frustrating.

"Jesus, get your Holy @ss over here." <----- Most blasphemous statement ever.

I Ate a Nameless Fish

For dinner. It stared at me. I wonder if it thought it was tasty.

The tone of which his birth ascend

The beat that of a heart descend

Repeating in the infinite

An insight made it clear

Order stormed the surface

Where chaos set the norm

Had there always been balance?

...surely not

Therein lies the beauty

It was solid

Yet everchanging

It was different

Yet the same

So I starve myself for energy

I wonder if that fish thought very highly of himself.

What do you call a fish with no eyes?

A fsh.

The Longest Day

Just when I thought it was over!

Sorry I ditched on you guys for lunch today. I definitely had the choice to leave, and I chose to stay. It's not that I didn't want to go! Seriously! If you've seen this guys kids before, they really are the most adorable little things in the world. They're about 2 and 2 1/2 years old.

I was sitting there, with all the intentions in the world of leaving, then bam! Nathan looks over and says, "Man, Green, it would really be nice to see my kids before I leave." At first I was like, "Woah, woah, sorry man, I can't do it." But then he started to talk about how happy and surprised they would be. I'm a sucker... I know it. Seriously. But anyways, what can I lose? I'm staying behind for 21 days, and they are going out to sea for just as long. I can sacrifice 7 hours.

Go home and have fun.

Star Trek tonight! I can gladly say that I'm not too excited, but it did look like a good movie. I think I'm going to dress up as an Arab. That way, when I get the question, "Uh, 'scuse me. Who are you?" I will simply reply, "What?! You've never seen episode [insert obscure episode number here]?!?" And walk away.

Shipwrecked Frontier Pioneer

This will be a short update. The last few days have been pretty awesome, actually. I've kinda gone off in my own direction (not to forget the important people in my life), but it's been a great thing for me. I've gone running nearly every day this week, and I've experimented some more with cooking weird things. I think cooking is one of the easiest ways to express yourself.


Anywho. I just finished reading another blog. Well, actually, a series of blogs. I wish it were easy to explain. Very succinct. I'm not sure if the words that were typed were meant to be so, but they were.

Oh, and I was told again today that I look like Tom Cruise. I don't get it...

Would anybody like to move to England with me?
I'll be hitting the books quite hard over the next few weeks. Forgive me if I start to fall of the board. This certification is quite important, and hard to come across.

Later!

Jotun

Writing this as I'm on watch. Hope nobody minds! :-O
I got a little bit of shut-eye before watch today. I had a pretty crazy dream! I dreamt that I was at my church, but at the same time, on a Ship. My parents were there, as well as my friends from church. The odd part was, there was a break in a water line, next to my bed. Of course, I was the one to find it, and of course, I was more worried about my bed getting wet than saving the ship. They say your dreams have meaning, right? I thought about it for a while, and I think I've gleaned a truth or two from this one. Are we [Am I], more concerned for the safety of our possessions/ourselves than those of others? Human nature blatantly screams in our face, "Yes, it's all for you! Get yo shit together!" I guess my point is that we should take care of the things that effect us and others, not to save ourselves, but to save all who matter to us the most. I guess I try to reflect this as much as possible, but sometimes it's hard to think of others when you have your own goals in mind. Case in point, we should serve others, before serving ourselves. I think this is a fundamental truth.
Well, the dream continued for a while. My next visage was a dark room. I was all alone, and indeed, it was a bit of a frightening place. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Will Smith was standing there. WTF? He's standing there with 6 cardboard boxes. He tosses three to me and says, "We don't have much time." Of course, I'm like, "WTF mate?!" I follow him. I am led to a river. It's not treacherous or anything like that, but there are dude-guys standing on the opposite bank with machine guns, possibly socialist fiends, intent on killing us. We jump into the water. Willie tells me to grab one of the boxes and jump in it (I know, after we are in the water) like a potato sack. I'm not really sure how, but we were easily propelled through the water in our... cardboard boxes. How odd. At this point, the phone rang, and one of the big wigs on the ship wanted his computer fixed. Nice wake-up.

Anywho, I hope all of you are enjoying your saturday! Tomorrow should be a great day!

The next D.C. trip will be more epic than before, I guarantee it! Can we start planning for sometime next month, or what?


I often dream of huge numb buildings
jet-black sinister architecture being installed when nobody sees
Their appearance so sudden
that few would take notice
And when I wake up, I imagine being crushed by one
imagining it's weight, it's silence
and the absence of excuses for a havoced life...
and the priviledge of a 22-kilometer tombstone.
