I came to school today with these things and so much more in mind. I walked across a frozen field to my first class, but with a positive attitude and with an obvious swagger.
I have a good schedule with 20th cen. Art, Graphic Design and Drawing all on Mon/Wed. I saw some friendly faces again today and feel comfortable with what I've done and where I'm at.
Once again I leave you with this (but with a little extra hyperbole this time):
"Please choose a piece of artwork from the slide carousel and write a 2-4 page paper, be sure to place the piece in its social and theological contexts..."
"The art is phenomenally gorgeous, I feel, no, I believe the art is wildly fantastic and wonderfully nominal..."

If nothing else, my life has improved steadily over the last couple of years through careful and better planning. Last year, Super Bowl Sunday and the beginning of the school semester were destined to be doomed. I did not start at UMBC in the fall of 2001 like I had wanted to. So I prepared for the Spring 2002 semester the best I could, but I worked more shifts than I should have and that continued until summer. The Super Bowl should have been in January, the day before classes started (like this year), but due to 9/11 the season skipped a week and the bowl got pushed into February.
So I started the school year last year by closing on the sunday night before and coming down with the influenza, only to get up tired and sick for my first day at a University. Then got worse as the week went on, had to work the following Sunday during the game, my store gets robbed, I get sent home hoping to catch the second half, my over-sized girlfriend breaks up with me "Kurt Warner scores the first touch down for the Rams" "I think we should break up." 6 on the board, girl out the door. And basically I think this is where a ref stops the fight...
So I knew there was no way things could end up that bad, and this year things did get better. I didn't have to work, my dad's team was in so he had a party at his place, Craig joined me and my family, it was cool. The game was a rout though. One radio sports personality said it best, "ABC should stand for Another Blow-Out Contest, because they had a lot of 'em." I felt bad for my Dad, it's disappointing when your team loses. I've been there before. At least it was a good time and a better end to my winter break.

Getting knocked out is kinda cool, it's like a forced nap.
Then I faded out. [Darkness fell over the Dude] 'All the Dude ever wanted was his rug back.' Later on it was noodle soup, more rest, and tv. A new Smallville as a nice treat and a lame Raw 10th annivesary show. Everything was real smooth, the numbness wore off, the bleeding stopped early, and there was little swelling. I noticed after dinner that there was a hole in my gums where the tooth was. I thought the stitches fixed that but apparently I was wrong. The stitches are there to sew up the cuts made for the surgery. The hole just stays the way it is until it closes up. Now I have to keep it clean with constant salt water rinses, the taste reminds me of the beach.
If nothing else, scheduling oral surgery during my college/winter break provided me with a reason to take four days off in a row and actually have some time to chill at home and enjoy my vacation.

When talking to my mom, she mentioned that Maurice Gibb of the Bee Gees died on Sunday the 12th. I heard on the news that he had been hospitalized, but was not aware he had died. My first thought was that he died on Craig's birthday. Then I remembered my dad had all four of his wisdom teeth removed when he was twenty, when he woke up the nurses kept saying 'he's dead'. They were refering to Elvis. A creepy little coincidence. If I had scheduled myself to have more than one tooth removed, would more than one Bee Gee have died?
Then I looked up all the other people who died on the 12th at Dead-Or-Alive.org Then I looked up my birthday, the 3rd. It turns out that Alfred Heineken died on my birthday. I cringed as I was drinking a Heineken.
Then I remembered lots of weirdness has occured since Sat. the 4th, when I was nearly electricuted due to a mishap by my mom while doing work on a light switch. I thought about this and a commercial for Final Destination 2 came on TV. I cheated death, but for how long...it's really creepy what's gonig on right now. Also, seven years ago I would have labeled all that 'workshop.'
Anyway, I really felt bad about the death of Maurice. So, as sung by Robin Gibb, this one's for you Maurice:
I started a joke, which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see, that the joke was on me, oh no
I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing
Oh If I'd only seen, that the joke was on me.
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head, from things that I said
'Till I finaly died, which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen, that the joke was on me
I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes
And I fell out of bed, hurting my head, from things that I said
'Till I finaly died, which started the whole world living
Oh If I'd only seen, that the joke was on me
Oh no, that the joke was on me

There's talk on the street, it sounds so familiar
Great expectations, everybody's watching you
People you meet, they all seem to know you
Even your old friends treat you like you're something new
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Everybody loves you, so don't let them down
You look in her eyes, the music begins to play
Hopeless romantics, here we go again
But after awhile, you're lookin' the other way
It's those restless hearts that never mend
Johnny come lately, the new kid in town
Will she still love you when you're not around?
There's so many things you should have told her,
but night after night you're willing to hold her,
Just hold her, tears on your shoulder
There's talk on the street, it's there to remind you,
That it doesn't really matter which side you're on.
You're walking away and they're talking behind you
They will never forget you 'til somebody new comes along
Where you been lately? There's a new kid in town
Everybody loves him, don't they?
Now he's holding her, and you're still around
Oh, my, my There's a new kid in town
Ooh, hoo Everybody's talking 'bout the new kid in town
Ooh, hoo Everybody's walking' like the new kid in town
There's a new kid in town There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town
I don't want to hear it
There's a new kid in town

I enjoyed a great birthday. I woke up and did exactly what I said I would do. I drank some hot cocoa and played Madden Football on my PC. My parents treated me to an awesome seafood dinner and between yesterday and today I have heard many of my favorite songs on the radio, in the restaurant, etc...
I had an enjoyable evening out with Craig and Patrick at the Silver Diner and at Patrick's swank apartment. Like Craig mentioned, we saw some of Hedwig and the Angry Inch. But we thought it was itch, huh? It was weird cause I always assumed this and then I can even remember a customer asking for 'Hedwig and the Angry Itch' around Christmas time. It reminds me of Nov. 1st when I turned in my portfolio. I had collected a variety of stickers from the UMBC campus. I thought one of them said 'Kings Fuck Brand'. For the first time that night I noticed it actually read 'Kings Funk Brand'. What do either of those mis-read items mean anyway. What is an Angry Inch or a Kings Funk? This just reminds me to ask, what does it all mean anyway, man?
Regardless I enjoyed my birthday and look forward to another year of decay.

I don't make New Years Resolutions. I never have, probably never will. I just chip away at things and remind myself to do things over the course of the year. I think of things to accomplish but don't feel the need to write them down. Alas, One is too lazy to write these things down. Plus I don't like society forcing a dated/time sensitive 'TO DO List' on me.
Anyway, I usually plan some things, keep some tasks and goals in mind, etc...
-I plan to get a normal sleeping pattern in place and get into shape physically.
-I plan to keep up my momentum with school and continue to be successful (I received straight A's this past fall :)
-I hope to resolve the black hole that is my love life.
-I want to add a comments feature to my ejournal. I noticed it first on the sites of Alan and Craig, and then on many other pages as well. I debated over this decision during the tenure of Zosie.com, but put it off this past fall. I hesitated mainly because I am lazy and I am usually not interseted or impressed with the comments/opinions of others. Then I thought it would be cool to just do it with the new year and all, and low and behold, Haloscan is not offering it at this time due to overuse.
Oh those tricky folks at Haloscan.com
Sorry, try again...
