    Hmmm...what to say.  I've been through this time and time again, there just isn't too much going on in my life.  Let's see what's new.  For those of you that don't know, I have a stalker now.  Yes, it's true...someone actually wants to stalk me.  I know you think I would be scared and all but no, I am not.  They know who they are and they know my feelings about the matter!  LoL.  Anyways, moving on.  Only 9 more days until I am home for the summer.  Not many people I think even know I am coming home that soon.  It will be a lot of fun.  Work is going to take up a lot of time just like it did last summer, but I really do need the money.  Any how, this weekend will be my last at Michigan Tech.  Whatever should I do?  Oh I am sure I will find something to make it memorable.    We will just have to wait and see what Travis gets himself in to this time around.  Hopefully nothing that lands me in jail or something with my luck.  Ah well, I will talk to you all later.  I apologize for my neglecting of my journal.  I really do mean to write in it a lot more than I do but I just seem to never have anything to write about.  I mean I could go on and on about every thing in my normal day but I just think I would be boring everyone a bit too much.  Chances are everyone stopped checking my page for updates anyhow, but who knows...there may be a few faithful readers out there somewhere!  (Most likely one of them is my stalker).  *Checks out window just to make sure*  Okay, I am heading to bed because I have German homework to complete in the morning and if I don't get it done I will hate myself come my final grade in that class.  Good night cruel world and hello neverending dreamscape.

    Soooo, it's Friday.  Can you believe that?  This week has flown by for me.  It started out a little on the rocks but it turned upwards near the end.  Let's just hope I can have a great Friday and Saturday night to complete the week!  Well let's see, what is new.

    Hmmm...not a hell of a lot.  Um...if you notice the timestamp it is very early morning Friday and yes it is because I stayed up all night.  Hey, what can I say?  That's not exactly new news or anything but oh well.  I'm about to jump in the shower and then get to doing my German homework that is due in about 3 hours.  I'm not looking forward to that but I know it won't be too bad.  Hopefully I can fly through it because I kind of want to get back into my game before I have to go to class.  Tonight I really just kind of sat around chatting it up a bit with some friends online...and yes I do have friends up at all hours of the night believe it or not.  After most of them left though I've been sitting chilling to some music.  Staind is just totally fitting my mood right now with their song "So Far Away."  14 Shades of Grey is just an astonishing album.  It's a great blend of deep meaning songs with that classic Staind guitar style.  Oh, I love it!

    Today is going to be a great day and I can already feel it...yep even at 6am!  I can tell just by the smile that is already on my face thinking about it.  I will be lively all day too because it's Friday!  That's the best part about the day!  4 weeks left everyone...4 weeks.  I will be going home and that will be a most welcomed reunion.  I can't wait to see my friends again and to be with my family.  It may seem weird and unsecure of me to say that but, hey, I miss them all.  I just want it to be like old summers again, all memories.  It's going to be great...my last summer in Grand Haven.  *Sigh*  Oh well...off to the shower I go and on to the new day ahead!  Bring it on, life...I'm ready for it!

    Staind - So Far Away

    This is my life
    Its not what it was before
    All these feelings I’ve shared
    And these are my dreams
    That I’d never lived before
    Somebody shake me
    Cause I, I must be sleeping

    (chorus)
    Now that we're here,
    It's so far away
    All the struggle we thought was in vain
    All the mistakes,
    One life contained
    They all finally start to go away
    Now that we're here its so far away
    And I feel like I can face the day
    I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today

    These are my words
    That I’ve never said before
    I think I’m doing ok
    And this is the smile
    That I’ve never shown before

    Somebody shake me
    Cause I, I must be sleeping

    (chorus)

    I'm so afraid of waking
    Please don't shake me
    Afraid of waking
    Please don't shake me

    (chorus)

    Hello everyone.  This is a rare middle of the day posting!  Yes you are reading the time stamp correctly.  It isn't 11:43pm it is AM!  I have reversed my sleeping schedule as of last night by going to bed at 7pm and waking up at 3am.  I know that this is cutting into some of my chat time with dear friends of mine from back home.  In this case...I will try my best to adjust my "bed time" so that I can still talk to these select few...and you know who you are.    Otherwise please don't hesitate to call my cell phone whether I am sleeping or not because in this case I love to get phone calls and chat even if I am sleeping at the time of the call.  Seriously, don't hesitate.

    Anyways, moving on with the current day at hand.Today I had a great class of Revisions because I felt that I got some actual communication done.  My teacher, Matthew Bunce, has pushed me in the right direction and I just wanted him to know that.  I will try to voice my opinions a bit more in class.  Call me a late bloomer but I will start to talk more in class and make my presence known a bit more, since my corner of the room desk is a bit secluded.  Other than that little tid bit of information for the day...I feel unusually more alive today.  I stepped outside today and was able to breathe a breath of fresh air unlike I have had in a while.  The air seemed to be purer to me today as it flowed through me.  Not too sure what that was about but it just seemed to be a lot more fulfilling to me.  Strange, I know.

    Hmm...I knew there was something missing from this writing atmosphere...*clicks on some music.*  Ah yes...I have found a great little song called Talisman by the group called Air.  It can be found on the Go Soundtrack (A GREAT movie by the way).  It's just a relaxing mood setting song that puts me in a chilled out yet awake and alive state of mind.  I love the beats of the bass guitar in it with the electronic keyboard accents.  Almost similar to an "elevator theme" in a way but not so monotonous.

    I have shifted my learning of the guitar into overdrive in preparation for my buying of an electric guitar this summer.  I can't wait.  I did some pondering on the future again last night...yes I know I shouldn't wonder about it but still it has to be done.  Washington D.C. will be an eye opener to me to say the least.  Since it will be an environment that I have never before experienced, I feel that it will actually have a good affect on my personal lifestyle.  Living in an environment that is fast paced is what I have always wanted and this move might finally allow me to stretch my legs, so to speak.  Going into law is something that I would never have even imagined for myself a couple years ago but lately it just seems to make more and more sense.  I can finally understand why all those years I argued and why my parents always said that I would make a great attorney if I ever so chose to be one.  Well, I have done enough rambling for now but I may be back a little later in the day to give my synopsis of the day as a whole.  I hope that in someway today will turn out to be the best day of the week for me.

    On a Day Like Today

    On a Day Like Today
    see related
    Okay, let's see what is going on in my head now.  Yesterday which was Monday was not a very...happy...day to say the least for myself.  No particular reason but I just seemed to be extremely irrative all day and I wanted to like punch everyone I saw.  The stupidest things just made me mad up here and I realized how very much I want to be home instead of up here.  I cannot stand this place any longer.  *Sigh*  Only 5 more weeks Travis.  That's what I really have to keep telling myself.  It's not that long.  I was just really stressed out all day I guess.  I managed to get some sleep in though since I stayed up all Sunday night.  I slept from 3-10pm, so not too bad for a day's sleep.  But of course here it is 6:20am on Tuesday morning and yes I am still up from last night.  Hopefully today is a bit better than yesterday.  I know I have a few things to do today for homework but they shouldn't take me too awfully long.  I played a game I hadn't played in a while last night which was relaxing for the end of the day.  It got my mind off a lot of things and I think I will be playing more of it in the near future just to keep myself calm.  Okay well I suppose I had better get to bed though; I have bowling class at 10am and I would love to be able to grab some coffee before hand.  So it looks like I'm looking at around 3 hours of sleep which isn't too shabby at all.  Good night all who read this...until the next nocturnal epiphany of mine.
