Part Two

Ok, so this is "the junk box part two". For some strange reason I failed to mention the junk box phenomenon. Ok, my spelling is horrendous but I figure you get the picture ;) Anywho … the junk box is something EVERYBODY uses wether it’s due to laziness or out of necessity it’s always there. So my move is about 85% complete. I’ve got tons of junk that just needs to be packed, of course my computer for which I’m saving until the very end, which I don’t know why, I can be working on webpages and such. Furthermore the junk box contains exactly that junk. Usually to be thrown away or even garaged saled in a few years. Am I right or am I right? It’s under the bed, in the closet, dresser drawers or trinket junk that gets put into the junk box. Stuff that shouldn’t really be thrown away but in all actuality needs to be!

So here we are again. Another hot day in denver. It was actually pretty nice. Hopefully nobody caught onto the sarcasim … however I’ve said it once before and I’ll say it again. God is mocking me. I clean bestie, clean her spotless and it rains, and yes .. I realise that I’ve already mentioned all of this in previous posts HOWEVER this time it’s diffrent. I actually decieded to go outside after it rained and shammied, again the spelling, my car. BEAUTIFUL she was! That is of course until the water sprinklers came on, after that time it then rained again.

I give up … I really do!

Today at work though was pretty nice. The last two hours were just my regular BLEH hours, not really working just BS’ing with one another. We all talked. It was good. I realised today just how messed up my life was and how awesome it’s shaping up to be. I told stories of previous girlfriends, previous problems with just life. I remember prom night driving so fast that I would hope to blow a tire, and then today. Just on cloud nine. This is the way I’ve been now since me and jo broke up now that I think about it. I’m so incredibly glad that things are over, and of course that things started. I learned so much, my limits, what I want. I realise I have a pad of paper and pencil that I have with all of my musts for my next "signifigant other". Maybe one day I’ll share them. For right now though the list is to long to type, or at least I would like to think it is, or maybe it’s just something I construed out of my head, who knows. I also talked of my days in the hospital. My agonizing day that I didn’t have medication for my stomach lining when it was literally being burned off by radiation. My dad ripping my arm down and pulling out a few stiches .. hehe … my dad ripping off my bandades with my blisterish sunburns. Hehe, I dwell too much on the negative. I forget to mention how many times we would crack up laughin when he’d try to fix my braces, just hoverin over me unable to keep a straight face, or how he used to wine and cry about when he was in the hospital and all he had was his "skibbies". Hehe, good times good times. Then of course there was religion. I think I’m one of the few people that can actually get away with saying I’m agnostic to a Christian person without them going into an uproar. And if they do go into an uproar then I just remind them of where I’ve come in the past 7 years of my life. Things that most humans will hopefully never have to live through.

Wow, religion, what a touchy topic but yet so exciting and worth while with all the opinions that have been made. Here is a line taken from the movie Pitch Black that I can somewhat, not entirely relate to, well … of course I can’t but anywho …

IMAM
Can we pray together? I have already prayed with the others. It is painless.

RIDDICK crouches down to tie a harness to the power cells.

RIDDICK
ItÂ’s pointless.

IMAM
Because you do not believe in God, does not mean God does not-

RIDDICK
You think someone can spend half their life in the slam, with a horse bit in their mouth, and not believe? Think he could start out in some liquor store trash bin with an umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, and not believe? YouÂ’ve got it all wrong, holy man. I absolutely believe in God. And I absolutely hate the f–ker.

Anywho …

What else is new .. not alot. not alot at all. Just writing. Hoping to document yet another day of my life however it is going for midngiht and I have to wake up early in the morning. I need to get to the other apartment and then I can sleep of course. Don’t feel to bad for me, its only about 8 minutes away from here. It’s actually a pleasent drive but then again….

Everything is pleasent when your happy and you have a car like mine.

peace,

Junk Box

So I’m exhuasted. I’m sitting down taking a break from my move of course. I’ve had the last 4 days off from work … but keeping in mind on day one I had to go to mandatory overtime, 2,3,4 days were perfect. I still had school but no big deal. It’s been nice. Extremely nice however I’m glad I have a full time job. I’d be so bored. I’m used of doing everything as quick as possible and well I’d be done with everything I’d love to do in a week or so. After that … sheer bordem. I don’t think I’d be able to do it anymore. Just sitting here. Twiddling my thumbs by myself. Being home alone, really does stink. It’s no fun, and it’s boring but I think I’m repeating what I’ve already said. OH no I’ve gone cross eyed.

-sighs- So I’m sitting here. My legs, arms, back, neck, fingers, toes, calves, thighs … ok, just about every limb, muscle in my body is sore. We’ve lugged multiple desks down three stories, then back up three stories. Couches, TV’s, Beds, Tables. You name it we did it and boy am I feeling it. My poor betsie girl. I packed her so full I don’t think her two front wheels were touching the ground! Ok, ok .. so that was an exageration but boy that’s alot of stuff.

My fishtank was the funnest. See, I had to use the pre-existing 20 gallons of water because I didn’t have enough time to set up my tank at the other apartment so I had to siphen it all out, put in a big rubbermade storage container, lug it all the way over to the house, put my fish in a little tiny bucket, they were cramped! I had the heater and air bubbles going the entire time. Me and my roomate were lugging essentially a big bucket of water and about half way down I thought to myself. What if somebody asks us what we are carrying down? Lol, my response automatically would be something aside from water. Like holy water! Yes I was carrying down holy water! I wouldn’t be lieing, technically, My roomate jeshua(son of god)was helping me and besides … that water would be holy compared t the chlorine filled water that I would have dumped in had I not lugged it down and up 3 flights of stairs. So everything was going perfect! Water was moved from point A to B. Fishtank still in one piece! Things are going good. It’s about 2 in the morning and the only thing I have to do is dump my fish from the bucket to the tank and move the heater. Fish dumped, good job, heater, a simple process … moving a simple test tube type object and what happens? It breaks! You’ve got to be kidding me! Yes it breaks and now my fish are going to be cold! All of this may have been for nothing. The lugging of the water, the cleaning of the tank … all for nothing! Happy to say that 2 days later they are doing fine, with no heater … it slowly changed to room tempature and I think I may just leave it like that. They seem to be "perky". Wether that’s because they are like, holy cheeseballs it’s cold in here! Good thing they have a 2 second attention span. It’s cold … boy it’s cold in here … wow, it’s cold in here. Wow, it’s chilly in here … hehe .. probably over and over and over, well at least every two seconds …

My mom would be proud of me though. I went shopping. I looked down at my watch and 45 minutes had passed. I look up again and realise that I’ve been looking at bed skirts for over an hour trying to deciede which one was "manly". Which doesn’t make sense because there is nothing manly about buying a bed skirt. lol. It cracked me up. My roomate just came buy and put on in the cart and was like "NEXT!". Funny ….

I’m the only guy I know that irons my clothes or spend an hour looking at bed skirts, wears collard shirts day in and day out, or even like to go shopping. All this while remaining 110% which leads to me to my next story.

My roomate had his cousin and girlfriend over and this was a while ago. The other day we were sitting and talkin and they thought I was gay when they first met me. Just from the first impression. But let me continue as to explain WHY they thought I was gay. They said that I was "well groomed" and "properly dressed" and a real MAN is both of these, only one or the other. Once they talked to me and heard a hint of new yorker accent, and saw my pretty boy/geek image they quickly dismissed this idea of course however it was pretty funny. Me being gay? Far from from it … The ladies I’ve had crushes on/relationships were all females and damn attractive ones at that!

-sighs- So I’m still sitting here. Watching it rain. I apologise if I already mentioned it before earlier in this journal entry, I’m just to lazy to go back up and read what I’ve already wrote, furthermore these are my thoughts and I have thought about this now for the past hour I’ve been online just sitting here. It’s raining. It wouldn’t be so bad but I just spent 3 bucks to wash my car. Keep the laughter down please. I realise 3 bucks is not a lot to wash a car(which is super SHIBBY becase the place I go accepts credit cards!) Anywho … I just washed betsie perfectly today! Perfect I tell you and for what? For this! HMPF! Whatever … this does stink and I’m royally disapointed. The only thing I wanted was a nice car! Ok, I have a nice car, let me rephrase that. All I ever wanted was a nice CLEAN car! -sighs- anywho … life goes on I suppose.

Well, once it stops raining I’m going to haul but outside to dry of my car, then I will continue moving and after that who knows. Who knows. Well, see you for now and I’ll update real soon, wether it be from my old home or new, I’ll update, update with pictures too! -does happy dance-

take care all,
kc

The MOVE

Remember the other day I said I couldn’t sleep? I lied. I need to sleep. I feel as if I havn’t slept in forever! Sooo tired. To make things more intresting this starts off my "vacation". If you can call moving a vacation, more power to you, however I am actually looking foward to it! I know, I suppose things will be started anew at the next residance, my biggest fear beileve it or not is my stuipd fish tank. I think I’m just going to use a silly bucket, pour the water in one of those big plastic storage containers and take it to the new place. I’m pretty stoked all in all though.

We signed the lease today, well 99% of it. We gave our money to my roomate, we cashed it all and then we recieved a bankers check. The first month rent had to be in a bankers note or something silly like that. Hehe, anywho .. today was good. I drove for hours … and hours after washing it. A friend of mine showed me a place that takes credit cards. LOL, I know, a car wash that takes credit cards? Yes … such an awesome invention!

Anywho .. I should be going though. I’m yawning, which definetly means I’m tired! Have a good night all and of course wish me the best of luck during the move!

Oh boy

It’s 2:30 in the am. I’ve got a class in about 5 hours and I’m here. Stuck again. Not even tired … I’m not even bobbing for apples, well not yet anyways. I probably can’t sleep becuase it’s raining so hard out right now. My roomate just got his 4Runner and we washed our cars together, we vowed that was the last time we ever do that again! I had told him previously that normally when I washed my car that it would rain, but he didn’t listen … It’s been raining for 4 days straight now! I figure the Big O of this whole situation has to be 2n. N being the number of cars and the outcome the days. Big O? Go read up on it .. it’s a study on algorithims. I know a ton about this becuase that’s the class I have in about 5 hours! So anywho …

I’m getting so stoked on moving! Two days left! Oh I don’t know though how consitant I will be. I wanted to -POOF- work nonstop until I finish however I want to go see that new movie dodgeball. That looks halarious! I can’t wait.

Shouldn’t have bought these cookies either. Another form of caffine I seriously don’t need right now. Geesh, I need to go to bed, I really need to. -sighs-

On to more news. I have my forums up and running however I’ve yet to link to it. I figure all the work I’m doing is like one big puzzle and each piece I finish will bring everything all together. But that is coming … soon dear fans. Very soon .. until then I think I’m going to take an incredibly hot shower to try and go to sleep.

Goodnight all,
kc

Beautiful!

Things are coming together quite nicely, far better then I had anticipated. Ok, maybe not better, but quicker nonethe less. I have a few things I will be working deeply on. An open source forum(a good one), a dynamic photo gallery, an extensive links page and of course I need to get my projects up and running. I have a ton of DirectX9 stuff, along with a few video games me and some teamates have made. Simple 2&3d games that we’ve made. Intresting stuff! Anywho ..

Today was well … AWESOME! Officially 5 days until I start to move, and another 7 days until I get an additional 2 days off of work! I’m going to use these days to finish my move, clean and get settled in and the such. Also because Dishnetwork reached 10Million customers we were all given yet an extra paid day off. How sweet is that? I am working for a good company and I know that now. We had a huge barbaque, VP’s, Managers, GM’s everybody put on a huge party at work and a day or so ago it was a complete waste of a day due to the activities. When I say waste, I mean in regards to working and being productive of course. So anyways, that was a few days ago.

Today me and my roomates when downtown Denver for quite a while today until we got kicked out of places for our age. Only one of my roomates is 21 years old. He laughed at us .. we were so sad though. Wanda Sikes was at the comedy club we were in but had to leave because we were "Under Age". Also on top of that on June 26 the guy that plays special ed off of Crank Yankers is going to be here.

I often wonder what I’ll be doing when I’m 21. I wanted so badly to go to this comedy club. I think it hit me that I’m really living in DENVER, a big city. We were walking and the next thing we hear see is Coors Stadium! The Rockies were playing a game! We are going to get nose bleed sections on our next days off .. we need to see a professional sporting event while we are here. We had a good time. It was even better because we spent quite some time just walking and talking. The only thing we bought was food and of course parking and yet it was an eventful day.

So I need to get going now. I have to go to bed now. Just because I’m anxious to see what I got on my math test tommorow morning. Speaking of the morning … For some reason I’ve been seeing Jo on my way to school. My heart still flutters. Why is that? -sighs- Anywho … I don’t know why I even mentioned that. Perhaps there is a small part of me that hopes she thinks of me still … I doubt it but who knows.

Well all in all things are going super. Hopefully this feeling doesn’t end anytime soon.

Take Care,
theMayor
