where does she get this from?

when i get old and decrepid, like 95. (and she is 71 now)

ill have one foot on the banana peel and one in the grave.

where does she get this stuff from? i love her so much, she is a hoot. what would i do without her. she means the world to me and cracks me up.

oh by the way, this is my grandma.

hopeless romantic

"the chemistry between us i can't explain, i love to hear you call my name."

"how do i say hello? i just wanna talk to you. how do i say your beautiful? when i can't take my eyes off you. i don't wanna say the wrong thing, i wanna use the right words to impress you. my baby"

"mil mien palabras bastaran. yo necesito mucho mas. entregate esta vez y asi sere feliz. mis besos nuncan cansaran. para socearme, ser de amar. dame la enternidad. dame tu amor sin fin."

"pero el tiempo pasó. no preguntes porque, Él ya no regresó a nuestro hogar. la frontera marcó su destino final. y a mis brazos jamás volvió.
hoy es adios, mañana quizás, sé que tu vas a volver. hoy es adios, mañana quizás, no hay fronteras en nuestro querer."

"i know that your hiding things, using gentle words to shelter me. your words were like a dream. but dreams ould never fool me, not that easily.
i acted so distant then. didn't say good-bye before you left. but i was listening. you fight your battles far from me, far too easily.
save your tears cuz ill come back i could hear that you whispered, as you walked through that door. but still i swore to hide the pain as i turned back the pages. shouting might have been the answer. what if i cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?

but now i am not afraid to say what is in my heart.

1000 words have never been spoken, will fly to you pressing over the time. and distance holding you suspended on silver wings. and 1000 words, 1000 confessions, will cradle you. making all of the pain you feel seem far away. they'll hold you forever.

the dream isn't over yet, though i often say i can't forget. i still relive that day.
you've been there with me all the way, i still hear you say.
wait for me i'll write you letters, i could see how you stammered with you eyes to the floor. but still i swore to hide the doubt when i turned back the pages. anger might have been the answer, what if i hung my head and said that i couldn't wait.

but now im strong enough to know it's not too late.

1000 call out through the ages, they'll fly to you even though we can't see. i know they're reaching you, suspended on silver wings. 1000 words, 1000 embraces, will cradle you, making all of your weariness seem far away. they'll hold you forever.

1000 words, have never been spoken, they'll fly to you. they'll carry you home, and back into my arms, suspended on silver wings. 1000 words call out through the ages, they'll cradle you, turning all of the lonely years, to only days. they'll hold you forever."

tummy

my tummy hurts, really badly. i wish someone would come over and take care of me. i love it when that happens. but i am really not feeling well right now.

rain

i love it when it rains. i love going for walks when it is pouring down rain, it is so relaxing. i do not know if it is because i live in washington when i am not at school, or is it because i just like rain. possibly both. but there is nothing better than strolling around when it is pouring just thinking about the day, how pretty everything is and thinking about life in general.

it is peaceful, there is no thunder or lightning so every thing is just still. it is not quiet like snow, sun causes people to come out and play wich is a good thing and then burn, cold is blistering, heat is sweltering, humidity is sticky, and dryness is really, really bad for my skin.

i love the rain, especially warm rain.

you can take a srtoll in it.
you can sing in it.
it makes for great jumping puddles when it is done.
it creates a pleasent sound when hitting your window/house.
i can use my windshield wipers.
it is relaxing.
it is life.
it makes the groud all muddy.
you can smell when it is coming.
it makes old peoples joints ache, and some young ones too.
it calms the mind and the body.
it waters the grass.
it gets your car dirty, or in nikki's case sometimes fills up your car with water (it is ture i have seen it happen).
and according to zoolander, moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty, and that is right, water is moisture.

so like is said rain is awesome and i wish it would rain right now so i can take a walk in it. oh wait do i see a cloud?

hallow-what?

i know this is strange to see men dressed up like women. no none of these guys are gay but it is funny none-the-less. 

i mean honestly, this pic was taken on halloween so what do you expect. i guess the only thing i have to say wow, they do not make attractive women. hahahaha.

i am getting addicted to posting pictures on my blogsite. it is fun and now you get to see just a little of what was going on this year. do not worry, that is about the worst picture that you will ever see. but i was just looking through all of my pics and thought it was really funny.

but anyways i am sad that one of my links has to go away, she is moving on and i do not know when the next site will be up or what it will be, so look for the updated site.

well off to class.

man in the iron mask?

nope, but it sure is funny as hell. see what college kids do in their free time and sometimes it is not free. well what can you do sometimes that is just the way it is.

without anything else to do we resort to entertaining ourselves. and see this is what happens. 

but lets not kid ourselves, we are adults according to society, so all this is is a mature way to express ourselves. what who am i kidding. no but seriously we want to be treated as adults. what? who does that?

well lets see what happens in the future.

did you see that

i did it. my very first picture on my website. it took long enough since all of the previos attempts failed and i was sad.

i cannot express the jubilation that i am feeling righ tnow, just let me tell you it is great none-the-less. i have found something else to keep myself occupied, posting pics. hahaha how great is that.

yes jon i am easily amused

so there is this girl...continued

yea that is the girl that i was talkin about. 

a new craze is sweeping valpo

and it is called the face book.

this little site lets you create a profile, and then with that you can search everyone that has a profile that is attending any one of the schools that this thing is connected to.

there are a whole bunch, you can add these people as frineds, find old ones from high school, make new ones. then you can send them messages, get their screen names and all that other good stuff, just to make the world even smaller.

well i guess it is nice and all but that is all everyone here is talking about. there are plenty of other things going on right now but this is the buzz around the school.

it is a nice little piece of software that lets you keep in touch but honestly i do not see why it is so addicting. almost everyone i have as my friends are either on my buddy list, in my phone, live down the hall, or i see more than three times a week. so why?

the ones that go to other schools, those are nice. but man i do not understand the craze.

well maybe one of these days i will get it, but i am thinking no that is not the case.

10 days later

i write again. i have just finished my spring break and now i am back in the routine. i guess it could be much worse but right now i feel a little bit better than when i left and that is a good thing.

like i wrote before i ran into an old friend who i have not seen in two years. that was very nice.

then when i went down to my fraternity house at UPS i ran into another old friend which i had not seen in three years and the funny thing is that we never thought that we would be in the same fraternity because we are so different. it is funny the way things turn out.

that was a great weekend i met some awesome sigs and some are coming to visit me on their way to grand chapter. how awesome is that? but not gonna lie that party was awesome. i have not had so much fun in a long time and it was nice being anonymous.

then i met up with liz and jenn a long overdue meeting. it was nice to catch up on all of the things that we have been doing, that we did not say on email. and chocolate lasagna is really good.

he just died...

so my friend just died in brazil. well not really cuz i just got done talking to him earlier today.

he was on a mission trip for two years and it sounded like he had a blast. it is funny seeing someone after that long and seeing how much you change, and yet how so much of you has stayed the same.

talking with him and listening to him talk gave me perspective on a lot of things, and it was very nice and refreshing. it is nice that i can always have a deep converstaion with him and also shoot the shit (pardon my french). but when i left i was happier and a little more energized and that is a good thing.

i stopped by to see liz today and she was not there and i was sad. so i left and went home.

i cannot wait to see her and jen. hey maybe i will bring josh along one if these days and they can meet him. i think that they would like him, since we all have about the same taste in friends.

oh and josh this is for you

"how do you kill a purple elephant? with a purple elephant gun. so then how do you kill a pink one? you hold it's trunk until it is purple and then shoot it with the purple elephant gun."

what is wrong with me? i do not know but man is it awesome.
