So, I went and saw Lemony Snicket’s A Series of U…

So, I went and saw Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events last night. It was great. The movie is based off of the first three books in a series of books obviously called A series of Unfortunate Events. I have read the first three books and the movie doesn’t follow the story line extremely great… but I didn’t mind. The movie has great acting, amazing sets, good CG, nice directing, and the cinematography was quite keen. so overall, I give it an A for style. but maybe a lower grade for not following the story.

Also, the previews before hand were nice. I learned that they are redoing The Pink Panther and Steve Martin is going to play Inspector Jacques Clouseau and from the looks of it, it will be pretty good.

I also learned that Steven Speilberg is directing the new War of the Worlds remake. I have never seen the original movie although I have heard the radio broadcast that caused suicides and such. Tom Cruise is the title actor … I enjoyed minority report, so I’m kinda looking forward to this movie.

Also, I got to see the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory preview on the big screen. Boy oh Boy, I can’t wait to see that movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Homeward Bound!

Hey All!

I’m almost home and since I don’t have access to the World Wide Web at my house, I thought I’d give ya’ll an update. Not alot has happened since we last chatted. I got to see James (my older bro) this weekend. That was nice. Then finals…. yikes. I only had two exams and only one I was worried about. I my last one was yesterday. I had also had two projects. Those would have been easy, had I started right after I found out about them. But you know me… I waited until the night before to begin. Well, This were stressful, but I slept it off. Everything went fine. I’m going to pass all my classes, I don’t know by how much I will pass… but I will pass. yes!!

I’m waiting for my dad to pick me up from school and then I will be in Mayville for 6 weeks. SIX WEEK!!! that’s crazy. I will probably work the last 4 weeks. oh joy. But money doesn’t grow directly from trees. Well, that’s all I can think to say… have a great something!!! kbye

Andi the Co-worker

There once was a co-worker named Andi
Who’s punctuality was amazingly dandy
She was always on time
exactly like I’m
What a goofy girl, that Andi

At work it is sometimes boring
Some days you will find me snoring
but Andi doesn’t tire
high strung like a wire
Her spirits are always high soaring

At work we deliver computers
we push them around on scooters
it isn’t that tough
just deliver the stuff
and then lock the equipment from looters

Once while Andi was in transit
from a corner jumped a dark bandit
He threatened her life
with a huge rubber knife
so she thought she could easily withstand it

The bandit lunged with force
and the knife did nothing of course
but shocked from the bound
Andi fell to the ground
and was promptly trample by a horse

now Andi was dead on the spot
never hearing the horse’s trot
the bandit got sick
and buried her quick
and there she was left rot

Now Andi was simply naive
about the soul when it has to leave
She had heard all of the stories
of gods and their glory’s
but she just didn’t know what to believe

the soul went to an agnostic oasis
where uncertainty was the basis
no one knew up from down
or pink from brown
or even if this was an oasis

she would probably stay there forever
but no one was sure however
some thought that it might
be just a short plight
and could maybe leave whenever

things that were known, were hazy
like the smell of the pink/orange/bluish daisy
or how it rained from the ground
or made a smelly sound
trying to figure stuff out was just crazy

there was never white snow
the wind wouldn’t blow
the trees would to and fro
no bigger than a toe

cats in a dog show
a scare-a-corn crow
darkness would glow
stops would go

chairs made of dough
clouds far below
yellow cups of joe
race cars going slow

an arrow shooting a bow
grass you didn’t have to mow
no need for a garden hoe
a river that didn’t flow

identifiable john doe
an informative news show
a pointy plateau
an honest h.m.o.

Vincent van Gogh
sloppy joe
red bordeaux
quid pro quo

So that’s the story or Andi
who would never share her candy
she was mean to the boys
and horded her toys
I hope this poem comes in handy

Speaker of the Piggies

Well, I finished Speaker of the Dead (number two in the ender’s series). Once again I find myself longing to meet face to face with the characters of the book; shake their hands; give them hugs… and yet I feel like I have done those things already. I feel like I’ve known them for some time. Oh books… how you have taken my soul from me. Soon, I will start the third book, Xenocide. Oh boy.

Today, during work, I went to Abby’s band concert… she had two official solos and she did awesome. She said she was nervous last night, but I’m don’t know why she was. I sat next to Abby’s mom who was quite excited about everything. Oh yeah, did I mention this was during work? yep, I was “at work” or “on the clock” as they say; gett’n payed. I went to work and told Andi “Listen here, I’m going to Abby’s concert and you ain’t gonna stop me!” and she is all like “blah blah ok blah” and then I retort with a “well, hpmf…. gigity smiggles.” and that basically was the end of that. Andi covered for me. When I came back to work, Jeff and Mike were here (at work, that’s where I am) behind the desk and the room smelled of cleaning solution. I was scared… but not really, only kinda.

sigh

only a moment ago
my thoughts cheery
an appetite for life
a gleam in my eye
a smile on my face
funny joke
hearty laugh

but just one thought
an unstoppable mind shift
an indescribable apathy
a terrible glare in my gaze
an expression of great unhappiness
contemptuous remark
single tear

Imprecation!!!

I’m in love
WHY
Why do I hate inside
Why can’t you let me go
Why can’t you let me love
I just want to give my heart to the fullest
But I’m still so cynical
But the world is just death and destruction

But NO!!!
That is not me!!!
I do love
I LOVE
I CAN LOVE
I WILL LOVE

Loving is not the problem
Receiving …
Oh accepting
I am loved?
Someone loves me?
HOW
WHY
Look at me!!
Listen to me!!
Hate me please!!
That’s what I deserve
Hate…
Death…

I’m sorry

Subject:

This weekend was great… on Friday I went to an all you can eat fish fry. We had a discussion about whether or not other countries had all-you-can-eat places or meals. We determined only Americans could be so pig headed. After the fish fry, Abby and I went to a UW-O production of Romeo and Juliet. I love the play and they didn’t do a terrible job of it, but it could have been better. Afterward, Abby and I hung out in my room and watched movies, specifically The Muppet’s Christmas Carol. I love the Muppets so much.

I woke up at 11ish on Saturday and ordered some CDs. I got seven from BMG; about two from myTunes; and probably 15 from the Mayville Public Library. My musical collection is flourishing. I also started going through my collection to weed out the stuff I don’t listen to. There seems to be a lot. I know it is cool to be able to brag about how big my collection of music is, but what is the point if I don’t listen to it or even like the music. I know people who are in the habit of collecting music just to collect it. But I guess if you’ve got the hard drive space… why not?

Saturday evening Travis, Shelly, Abby, and Myself went to the Pettit Ice Center in Milwaukee. We ice skated for about an hour. I seemed a lot longer. But it was a lot of fun. After skating we went to the cheesecake factory (which is a fancy restaurant). But the wait was going to be an hour. So, we decided to go to Panera Bread at the Mayfair Mall. Abby paid for the meal (thanks Abby). We walked around the mall for a while and then took a sleepy, 1.5 hour car ride back to Oshkosh.

That’s about it. I’ve got 2 projects, 2 exams and 1 concert coming up. I’m not really too worried. I hope to pull out of the semester with anything higher than a 2.5. Otherwise, I’m in trouble and would have to change my major. Well, I will talk to ya’ll later folks.

Give me a break

Well, It’s tuesday and school is still school. I can feel the anticipation for christmas in everything i do. Last wednesday I finished reading “Perks of being a wallflower” and I meant to write to you everyday since, but when I’m in mayville I have no internet access. The book was really good and really got to me. I didn’t cry or anything, just made me somber and think about things. (I hate it when I do that.)

During my break, I kept thinking about things I’d like to tell ya’ll and by thursday I had a piece of paper and pen with me at all times. Geez, that’s sad. I just want to make my blog entertaining and interesting to read… so that anyone can read it and enjoy it. But, we can’t all be famous.

Tuesday after I got home from school, I chilled with Luke Magalsky and Travis P. We decided to get tatooes. but about ten minutes away fromt he parlor… we decided against it. It is just so permanent. We are going to do some research first. I still can’t really decide if I want to get one. I always said I wouldn’t ever get one… but I’m seriously considering it. Abby would prolly flip out, but then she would get over it… I hope.

Thanksgiving was nice. Nothing special. I didn’t really eat alot. I did a quite a bit of people watching/analyzing of my family. My Dad’s family is alot of fun. I love being around them. They are all very friendly and outgoing. I wonder why I’m not. I couldn’t really seem to hold a conversation with anybody. But I was better than my two siblings. They never even looked anybody in the eyes when they were talking to them. I don’t know what it is about my family.

Thursday night I hung out with Abby. That was nice. When I left I went over to Turdipoo’s house to spend the night. We (Turdipoo, Travis, and I) went shopping in the morning. We left at 9ish and after taking a detour to Dundee we were in Appleton by 11. We went to best buy for 10 minutes and decided shopping was a bad idea. We spent the rest of the day convincing travis he should get a cell phone…. which he did.

Friday night I continued to hang out with Turdi and Travis and then we added jeff, butch, and luke to our numbers. It was a rather uneventful night. Saturday… on the other hand… I slept in. Then Abby and I went to the Milwaukee Art Museum. It was fun. We then came home and played board games with Travis and Shelly. After they left, Abby and I went to Jenny P.’s house. I got home around 1 or 2 I wasn’t really keeping track of time.

and that’s about it… I’m here back at school and I have to wear my skăntz tommorow with my seatbelt belt… neato… peace
