drunk and loving it...!

here i am drunk off of a bottle of wine shared only by me and myslef.

i watched a presidential debate on tv and it was awesome. does drinking beer and watching politics on tv make me a redneck? we'll see, i guess.

so, no offense to my republican friends...but, i honestly think that Kerry won that shit tonight. Bush seemed to not know what to say half the time! I've never been this excited over a political debate series before!! I'm having a good time with this election...and right now i'm drunk...so, i'm gonna move on...

jen has great news! call her and find out!

um, tomorrow is my last day of school. I baked my kids cinnamon twists tonight, they are so good, they're like crack. the kids will love them. i'm also taking a zuccini bread loaf to my cooperating teacher and another teacher who was kind to me. goodtimes... this was a great internship, i might even come back for my student teaching.

Alight, now i've posted and i'm no longer a bad person...ALL the rest of you are! NOW POST!

Love you all long time...!

finally facing my Waterloo...(a song or a realization?)

well shit, here we go again...

don't adjust you sets everyone, i've done some re-modeling. what do ya' think?

So, school, reading, drinking, and talking on the phone with jen. that about sums up my life right now. if i'm not in class teaching, learning, doing homework, writing out lesson plans, i'm trying to find a good place to hunker down and read my nirvana book with a good beer, or i'm talking to jen on the phone. i'm getting through though...that's the important part.

things seem to be on the up and up for the most part. my friends all seem to be doing well, getting offered jobs, and getting tickets to up-coming events, and getting good numbers for a great house. needless to say, i'm happy with life at the moment.

i've been all about oly these last few months, you should all be here...everyone...i think we'd all have a lot of fun if we were all here. i just love the history and everything. it's so cool.

anyways, i don't have a whole lot to say. we need to plan a weekend where we can all meet at the karaoke bar that bobanna found called the Rickshaw, i used to drive by that place when i went to work...when i lived up in shoreline...anybody else remember that? ah, the shoreline place...goodtimes...(sigh)

so, yeah there's my post...my update. i hope this entry finds you all in good spirits and full of hope cause it's a waste of time to not have high hopes and be postive about the way things are going...they could ALWAYS get worse...

take care all...

The ram is everywhere (u-district, puallyup, lakewood-i was there today!-, and tacoma!) ...

SO, today i got to go out and drink with my cooperating teacher and about ten other people that are all in the same school as i am, i feel like i really belong there...but. then again, good beer and decent people will do that to a person! NEEDLESS to say i'm having a good time and i WILL keep this positive ball rolling for the old weatherboy...good things keep happening to me and the people that know me (save one, who is dealing with the situation at the moment and my heart goes out to her and i know that anything that happens will be meant to be and i will be there to support her and help in any way that i can! whatever happens i'll help her roll with the punches and this will all work out!) i honestly think that if i keep the positive thoughts flowing that everything will continue on it's merry way...just keep a postive mind and i think that we'll all have a really great life! things are good, and things could ALWAYS get worse! SO, just enjoy what's going on around you!

Yeah, so other than that, i want to remind everyone that digital underground will be in OLY on the 18th and it'd be great to have everyone down to see them! um...if ANY of you get board tomorrow (saturday) morning around 10:00am, i'll be at Ranier High School refing youth football...it should be a good laugh! I'd love company!

let's see, nothing else really important is going on with me...i think the rest of you need to update your shit, but as it's the first part of the academic year, i understand not being aware enough to check on and post what's going on in your lives...but you should all do it soon!

SO, i bid to you all a good night, everyone needs to call my ass...and to those who might not be with us much longer...good luck...it was fun while it lasted, but 'like a moth to a flame that's burned by the fire..."

health, wealth and happiness...

good moods run abundant...

it's been a good last couple of weeks and i can't help but feel good about things at the moment. i don't have any negitive vibes out there at all, i'm just floating in a happy little bubble above all things that could go wrong at the moment...and weatherboy saw that it was good...

things are good right now, i'm more optimistic than i've been in a long time, which is really good. (and i don't think i've used the word good enough) with that said, i think it's time to start organizing another get together... over this last holiday weekend, HEW and i talked about organizing another bar-b-que down here in oly, all i can say is that plan is slightly shot. HOWEVER, i have another plan. does anyone remember Digital Underground? you know, ''the humpty dance"? at any rate, they will be in oly on the 18th, a couple weeks away, so i was thinkin' we should all get together for that maybe. what do you guys think? oh, and schwee, pass the word on to bug would you? she never checks this stuff and it'd be nice to see her again sometime. that's just an idea, so you guys should see how that fits into your schedules.

ok, now i know i've been really bad about writing posts, and there are some weirdo's who post like 15 times a day, i don't really care about that. this is just a friendly reminder to everyone to get out there and let us know what's going on. here's what's going on with me...

i start my second internship at Custer Elem. in the Clover Park school district tomorrow. it's gonna be fun, i have a cool cooperating teacher and i know i'm gonna learn a lot from him, plus i've been told that this school district needs more male teachers so, i'm hoping to make some good contacts.

TODAY, i'm gonna go and do some movie shopping, cause i'm bored with my movies, then i'm gonna probably go to the fishbowl pub for some fishtale amber (which i introduced to HEW this weekend and i think he liked) and do some reading...goodtimes. after that i have a dentist appointment to get a...yes...cavity filled!!!NOOOoooo!!! i thought that time of my life was over. for those of you that know me and have glanced inside of my mouth at all (i know you guys have, who could resist?) you'd notice that i have a bunch of silver and stuff inside...what can i say? I ate a lot of candy in my youth...but, now i have to go and get a shot and get all numb (i used to hate the shot, now i hate the numbness, IT NEVER GOES AWAY FAST ENOUGH!) and to top this all off i have a refs. meeting again tonight, another two hours...gone...

so, for the moment, that's my life. not exciting, but i wanted to put it out there as an example of filling people in on my life. some people use these journals as an actual place to post their feelings and thoughts and stuff, and i'll admit that i've done similar things to that. i just hope that everyone who does this thinks about what they write. i know it's easy to fall beind the protective excuse of "it's my journal, and if i want to post my innermost thoughts and feelings...i'll do it!!!!" just remember that, UNLIKE a real journal, your innermost thoughts and feelings are being broadcasted across cyberspace! and every now and again if you say something cheezy to an obnoxious extent, or offensive to and equally obnixious extent that people most likely will react! i'm not about censoring yourslef, that sucks, but just be aware...everyone! for instance here's my reaction to a post...
i really can't handle dreamy, whistful, utterly sappy, and obviously forced posts on feelings... that's just me...HOWEVER, i go off on my own happy little tangents which might be too much for everyone to take, especially if they're having a bad day, and when i write those kind of posts i write in the hope that whoever reads it will feel a little bit of the hope that i put out there...

i guess that i'm just one of those people who thought these journals were a good way for all of us to keep in touch, and the one person who got me started on this still hasen't posted since may 26th! so, i guess she set the standard for me and i just kept it going! anyways...with ALL of that said, keep posting everyone and let us all know what's going on in your head or otherwise!

till next time...

may the shwarts be with you...
