I made a little modification to the background. It's a simple pattern with imprints of maples leaves I made in Photoshop which I tiled as the background. Not a big difference but I like it. At the rate I'm going, the web design of this site will sometime be completly my own.
I have been downloading a lot of music lately as usual and found the K-Os [pronounced chaos] album I wanted. As usual I went through all the files then I went to the root address and found it to be a message board, a nazi message board. It was really odd. I thought it had to be a joke but then I read some of it and found out it wasn't. There was good music on the folders but it felt odd downloading from them. Anyway I found the link on a message board I frequent multiple times a day and replyed about it being a nazi site. I went off then for about 4 hours and drank and played some cards and ate. Afterwards I came back and the message board is all a blazing about my post. It was crazy. People we siding with me and against me and apoligizing and all I wanted to do was mention this small fact, all the while I didn't give an opinion. Crazyness of the internet

I am coming to love Wednesday nights and here is why
Our apartment hero Michael Tolcher is on Carson Daly right now as I type. There is no one around to share this precious moment with. He just broke into a cover of Buffalo Springfield, For What It's Worth. What a lamer. Tolcherheads unite.
Stupid LAN connection is messing up and made tweaking the colors is really frustrating so I kept it as I had it before I got frustrated. It looks alright, I wanted something a little more light blue like I had just yesterday. Maybe tomorrow the internet will get better.
Before the playoff started my prediction was Eagles vs. Steelers in the Superbowl. I'm halfway right as of 1 minute ago as the Eagles won the NFC championship and they are on there way to Jacksonville for the Feburary 6th Superbowl. Now its up to the Steelers vs Patriots[defending champs].
I'm so tired right now I feel like passing out but Mr. Show with Bob & David is on and I have to catch that at 4:30 am since its never on other than Friday nights. I downloaded 13 albums today but have no cd player in my car which sucks but I will survive, its not a necessity....I guess. It definatly sucks though, very much so. I finally get to sleep in tonight which will be good after having 5 hrs of sleep every night..plus day naps. Alright time to lay down and catch Bob and David. People are weird no matter how long you've known them. Wow, this was a pointless post.
Everyday there would be a phone call to the apartment phone from southeast Pennsylvania. Well not everyday, exactly every other day. I pick up and say hello and hear nothing other than the click of hang up. I looked up the area code and it was 215, which was southeast Pennsylvania. This was a hassle but I would pick it up and try new things. First I did the obligatory hello....hello...?......Hello!. Then I moved on to the "I will return your silence with my silence". After that it was the pick up and hang up fast, what I like to call the "I don't have time to deal with this" method. Then today I was in a particularly good mood having downloaded 9 very very hard to find indie rock albums I've been searching for and was giving them a good listen. The Iron & Wine album, which is pure acoustic and slide guitar folk was playing and I heard the ring and looked at the caller ID and saw it was my best phone buddy 215. It was a song with very hushed vocal and finger picking and I just picked up the phone and put it to the speaker, I figured it was a good song and had to be heard without an introduction. About 7 seconds of this went by and all of a sudden the unthinkable happen… I heard a hello! I knew the day was special when I woke up today my friend but I hadn't realized how special, I was graced by a hello, a response. I didn't know how to react for about half a second. Should I hang up? Should I throw the phone against the wall? Should I let the music play? Should I say hello back? Okay those options didn't really go through my head but they were my options if I needed any. I simply said hello and the lady asked for Libby something. I recognized the name from the mail that used to come in and I said she doesn't live here. Then it was "is this a place of business?" Once again "she doesn't live here, there are four guys living in the apartment". She got the point and I mention how she would call every other day and hang up but she didn't respond, only caring about her priorities. We said our byes and parted ways, me hoping she wouldn't call but slightly missing the stupidity of it and she ending it conversation confused. Iron and Wine ameliorated this phone situation as he has the gift of fixing peoples lives with his music. That my friends is how you take a stupid phone call and turn it into a point less 466 word paragraph in hopes of wasting at least one persons time...you.
So tonight we convinced Ryan to bong a beer out of my old trusty beer bong. Here is a picture right before with Ryan holding the beer and wearing his bling.
Finally found two albums I've been looking for for sometime now. Last years Sonic Nurse by Sonic Youth and RJD2's debut, Dead Ringer. Also located some nice Atmosphere albums. Yar.
The craziness of winterbreak is over and now its time to turn my brain on again. So far it looks like I'll be taking 3 Sociology classes, 1 Anthropology [i think I might switch] and one philosopy class. Nice little class load. I'm just worried about my one sociology class, I'll actually have to do work. Its a research methods class, Sociology 4870 - Research methods. I can ace it but will I put forth the effort to do so. Most likely. All I know is that I'll still have the weekends to not give a fuck.
Stupid internet is going down but it seems like I'm back up...for now. Who knows how long that will last. I just came back from my first class and it seems like its going to be very hard and plus involves lots of walking. Now I go to my class about the French Revolution which most likely I'll switch with something interesting. Adieu.
Some people in their life can't say they have been pulled over on their bicycle before I can and after today I can say I have been pulled over in my bike twice. The weird part was that I knew I was going to get pulled over, I saw it happening before it did. Here’s how it goes;
I saw my advisor today and I am very close to graduation. If I do 15 hrs this semester, 7hrs during Summer School, 15 hrs the following semester I can graduate this year. Yowzas. Maybe some more if I want a minor which I do but I think there is a loop hole I can slip into and minor in Social Sciences. I'm not sure if I want that because it's like majoring in Sociology and having a minor in sociolgy. Thats the forecast for this academic year.
!!!...My website was mentioned on a site that I'm a big fan of!, I didn't even do anything but someone appreciated some of my web forums post....Nas and QOTSA. This is some big shit to me, I was just scrolling down and then all of a sudden:
Its good to be back in my apartment with my stuff and my own space. I missed my bathroom with its water pressure and my computer with its fast Internet and stockpile of music. I like my TV with the luxury of remote control, when I was sick with the stomach flu and had little energy to move around and no remote I was forced to watch the reality television of "Big Man On Campus" because I didn't want to get up. I do miss my moms food though.
Here is some pictures I took on New Years Eve night that I made into a little slide show. I didn't get pictures of everyone but what can I do now.
