Disk quota exceeded

So I had previously been hosting my blog from the calpoly website. It has, however, gotten too large to continue hosting it there. I'm not sure how much space they give us, but it keeps giving me errors. Until I figure it out, the new address is cmdrkeen13.blogspot.com, but you know that already, because you are here.

Sorority Girls

So my new place is right across the street from a sorority house. This morning I woke up to them singing some lame recruitment song to the tune of the Greese song "summer lovin." Like, oh my god! Gag me with a spoon! I really hope they aren't annoying as hell for the entire year. Not the biggest fan of sorority girls (obviously). There are some that are nice, but the overwhelming majority have some serious issues.

On another note, the freshmen have started to move in on campus. I'm starting to get excited for everyone to come back and the year to begin. About 5 weeks into the quarter, right around midterms time, I don't think I'll be quite as excited.

Moved in and some other stuff

I'm finally moved in to my new place. It's been an interesting last few days to say the least, all starting a few months ago. I think rather than going back and trying to describe it, I'm going to look forward and see the things that it has taught me. Be true to yourself, meaning: be yourself. Stop trying to be someone or something your not because in the end your always back to being yourself, and people are going to have to just deal with it. Trust your intuition, but don't let it make you crazy. The truth shall set you free, plus it also helps prevent the whole craziness thing. Fear can cause paralysis, even if it's all in your head. There's things in life that just happen for a reason and sometimes we can't see the reason until it slaps us right in the face. Good, true friends, are priceless. I have been blessed with my fair share. Life is a series of watershed moments, some only coming after life's most dificult trials.

So there ends my little life lesson rant for tonight. I heard this song on the radio the other day just when I needed to hear it.

"Be Yourself" by Audioslave

Someone falls to pieces, sleeping all alone and someone kills the pain

Spinning in the silence, it finally drifts away
someone gets excited in a chapel yard and catches a bouquet
another lays a dozen white roses on her grave

And to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone, another only pain
someone tries to hide himself, down inside himself he prays
someone swears its true love until the end of time, another runs away
separate or united, healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do

And even when you’ve paid enough, been pulled apart or been held up
Because every single memory of the good or bad faces of luck
don’t lose any sleep tonight
I'm sure everything will end up alright

you may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
to be yourself is all that you can do

Moving sucks!

See above. I'll explain the whole debacle later.... when I have electricity....yeah.... ok

Wow August already...

I can't believe it's already almost the middle of August! This summer is just going way too fast. I blame it on the full time work.

So yeah that's pretty much been my life as of late. Work, eat, exercise, tv, sleep. EXCITING I know... but yeah school will be back soon and with that comes the real work, so I'm trying to just enjoy the summer while I can, even if it is often boring.

These next few weeks are going to start to get pretty hectic however. Next weekend I am heading home again to pick up some furniture and hopefully go to IKEA to get stuff for the new place. Then the week after that I will be moving all of my stuff from my current apartment over to my friends' house where I will be temporarily living for 10 days until Sept. 5th when I can finally move into my new place. All the while I will still be working full time and such. It's gonna be a hoot. Staying at my friends' place should be fun at least though for a few reasons, one being that the home is a beautifully large and new one, the other being.... huh?

Anyways, I get to register for classes next Thursday. I'm pretty sure that all the classes that I am looking at will fill up by then so I'm kind of worried about that. But oh well... nothing I can really do to change that.

Eh, I guess that's it for now.

Ø

Here we go again....

Been working out again the past few days. Hoping to shed a few pounds and build some muscle. I'm in it for the long term so I'm going to try not to overdo it at the beginning. That's what usually kills me. I start off doing too much and strain a muscle or something. So yeah that's the gameplan. Sleep time now though.

Ø

I thought this was funny....

Ø

Hey that was fun...

Tonight was really fun. It made up partially for last night's late night issues.

And I say this with all the love in the world: Superglue.

Ø

It's 3am

Basically all I have to say is: FU*K!

I've posted these lyrics before but they do such a great job of summing it all up....

"The First Eviction Notice"
by The Lawrence Arms

A temple
Corroded.
Eviction
Pending.
Embrace me.
Cold night.
Gray sky.
Streetlight.
Lyrical
Descention.
Attention
Fading.
Breathless, I'm a mess.
Kissless, I'm in distress.

I'm barely breathing.

This crowning anguish.
Locked up nervous reflex.
I've got to build up from the inside.

A relapse.
Reflection.
Distorted.
Repression.
Smiling spitefully,
Longing for you to sew up my seams.

I'm barely breathing.

I've abandoned old identities,
Skin I couldn't fit into,
Songs I couldn't write,
My voice will fade into this starless night.

Can I get much blinder?
Can I kick myself much harder?
Have I accepted this
To torture myself?
You can't see me.
Have I invented you?

I'm barely breathing.
You're so easy to believe in.
And it's so depressing,
That I'm always second guessing,
That I'm always second guessing,
That I'm always second guessing
Myself.

Fastest Post Ever!

I'm about to go to bed, but it has been pointed out to me that I suck at updating. I agree. So here's the flash update in bullet form!

• Someone stole the faceplate of my car radio. Not the whole radio, just the faceplate, rendering it completely useless. They stole none of my cd's, none of the change, nothing else in the car. I suspect a drunken asshole...
• Work is going ok. Work makes me tired.
• Got some new computer stuff. My new monitor is amazing!
• Still need to find a place to live from August 27th to September 5th.
  
• Started excercising again. Soreness.
• Holy crap July is almost over!

Well that's all for now. Sorry again for the lack of updates :P
Time to sleep.

Is this thing on?

See title above. I just remembered I had this thing called a blog and that updates are good things. Oh well, I'll just have to remember that tomorrow afternoon. I gotta sleep now though. Lovely work at 9:30am.

Friday

Just got done with the first week of my SLO summer. Having the apartment all to myself has been pretty cool so far. Everything stays clean, and if it doesn't, I have no one to blame but myself. Neat.

My new job on campus is working out nicely and my old job on campus is still good. It's going to be a pretty cool summer workwise i.e. I don't have to work on weekends!

Last night was pretty cool. Went to a bbq that my appt complex was hosting (think free food). Then went to farmer's market and coldstone. After that, the night really began. I went to a party with some friends and also met some pretty cool new people that live in the same complex. So maybe I won't be bored and all alone this summer after all.

So now I'm just listening to some music and relaxing. Gonna make some dinner in a bit and then we'll see from there. The stress level I have right now is in stark contrast to where it was during the school year. So nice :)

P.S. Karl Rove is the antichrist and an evil genius

Wisdom teeth = pain

Ok... so it's been a while since my last post (there were some technical issues behind this and I was too lazy/busy to fix it). School got out last week. Got my grades. Did ok... I've done better... but it wasn't too bad.

Anyways, I got my wisdom teeth out on monday. It was terrible. The actual procedure was quite easy, but the after effects suck hardcore. I looked like Quagmire from family guy, or at least my cheeks did. I was just able to start eating food that requires some sort of chewing. This was not because my teeth were sore and such, but because my inner cheeks were swollen such that I would bite them if I tried to chew. Way lame. I had been surviving solely on Ensure, Jello, Applesauce, and chicken broth. I still have to be careful about biting my cheek, but I can at least now chew slowly.

I head back to SLO tomorrow. I am registered for two classes, but I've decided that I am probably going to go ahead and drop them and just work more. I really think I need a little break from academics and I probably won't be able to graduate in 4 years even if I did take the classes. So that's that I guess.

I'm pretty much going to have the appartment to myself this summer as my roommates will be home for most of it. That should be nice, though I'm sure I'll get bored very quickly. Oh well... people will just have to come visit me!

That's all for now...

Getting Closer

So almost done with this quarter finally! It should be OK gradewise I'm hoping. I'm not too worried about it. It's finals and then back home for a week. During this week, I'll be getting my wisdom teeth out. Fun fun fun... right. Then it's back to SLO to start summer school and work. Yay me! Well nothin more for now I guess.

"The Man Hug!"

I thought this was a pretty interesting article about the phenomenon known as the Man Hug. I definitely find myself pulling the "shake to one hand hug with patting action." I gotta man up and work on my bear hug :P

Summer Plans

The quarter is slowly winding down. It's this week, next week, and then finals. This is definitely a good thing. I'm pretty ready for it to be summer. Even though my summer isn't going to be the most relaxing of summers, it should still be easier than the normal year.

I'm planning on staying down in SLO and taking two classes: Modern Physics and some Jazz class (I'll be listening to it, not dancing...don't worry) that fulfills a GE. I don't really mind taking classes in the summer, but what really sucks is that the physics class is MWF 8-9:20am. Yuck. Yuck. Oh well, I'll somehow survive. Probably with lots of afternoon naps. Ah and I need to find a job that will give me lots of hours. So yeah, that's the plan. Should be interesting.

In other news, my new roommates and I signed our 45 page lease to move into Kris Kar townhomes next year. Yup... 45 freakin pages. All of them having to be signed with full signature. Fun stuff. I'm excited about living there though, so it's cool.

But for now, it's back to homework. Just gotta keep on putting effort in. It gets harder and harder as the quarter comes to an end.

Yeah....

I'm still alive.... These next few weeks will be keeping me quite busy though...

Fizzle

This weekend was not the worst one ever, but what made it bad was that it had really great potential. This potential then proceeded to fizzle and become nothing. Oh well c'est la vie and all that crap. Oh, did I mention that my roommate went home this weekend? And that this gave me the room all to myself? What a waste!

The rockstar party on friday was fun though and I'll make sure to put up a few pics of my costume. Let's see. Oh, I watched I Heart Huckabees on Saturday night. I thought it was pretty cool. All the existential banter and stuff felt a bit forced, but it was interesting all the same. I really liked all the unique characters and great acting. I'll have to watch it again and I'll probably enjoy it much more the second time around.

Today my appartment-mate Sean and I hiked up Bishop's Peak. It was really beautiful and amazing to see things from so high up. It was also interesting to realize how easily death could come to you from a mis-step when climbing up towards the top. I'll put a few of those pics up also.

I guess it's time for bed now. Even though what's going to happen is that I toss and turn for at least an hour. Ugh. Stupid mind never shuts down...
