So for some reason i just saw that a good friend commented on a blog of mine a while back. Nick Dower. What a great guy. I think he is the most successful person i know.
I will try to keep the updates regular. Now i have to catch up on your blog.

the idle mind
i know i have talked about this before, or if not i have been meaning to.
that phrase, the idle mind is the devil's playground. It seems kind of deceptive, i think the mind might just be the devil's playground.
it is hard to put a frame on what exactly made me feel so conflicted tonight but it sucks. There are these times where i can find a reason for any path life will take me in, good or bad. It is almost like i sit at home and play out every situation in my head, some are horrible and disturbing and lonely and sad. Some of these thoughts are decent ones, i do have those. But sometimes there is a middle ground and i don't know where things fall. I am still unsure where things are going or how i feel about some things, or how i should feel. blurg.
it is those doubt thoughts that are the worst i think. They prove to be the most ambiguous. Since i can not see the eventual positive or negative it is hard to categorize them. I think these are the feelings that make me feel lost. Doubting everything that i have done/ am doing/ about to do. DAMN.
oh look, i got new shoes.

valentines day
Oh yeah. This past week was Valentines day right? Notice that? I capitalized "Valentines" day, i don't even capitalize my own name but this day [weekend] should be [and definitely will be] remembered forever.
Where to start?
Well on Valentines day, i had sent flowers to arrive at Amanda's work in the morning. Luckily she was there and it was completely a surprise, not only to her, but also to the driver whom she mauled. We talked throughout the day, all things cheedy. The thing that completely did suck is that i had to spend Valentines day in Champaign while my love was in Saint Louis. We lamented about the two of us soon being in the same city. I came into town the next day and we hugged and kissed like we had not seen each other in weeks. We went to see a play with one of my oldest friends, Dave. The most important part of the night was that i got to sit next to her all night long, hold her hand and just be close to her . . .
Saturday was the day that i had been waiting so long for. A lazy day to wake up and lounge around with Amanda and Max. Granted, we both had to get up and get things done in the morning, but by 1 we were napping on the couch. It was great.
We went to dinner after we exchanged presents [most of which i can not mention]. We went to dinner and had drinks afterward. It was so great.
I feel like my story kind of petered out near the end, but i realized that a lot of the stuff that made Valentines so great is stuff that i can't really put into words.
Valentines day was great, for everything i could tell you about and everything that i could not tell you about. I am so excited to be moving soon, the cold that i feel in central illinois can only be warmed by one person.

a new place to work
So, you want to hear something funny? It is 12 degrees here in Champaign, Illinois [where i go to school] and my building lost it's heat 5 days ago. DAMN.
Last night people were sitting in studio working with coats on, that is crazy. So this today i got up and my thesis advisor mailed me to say he was not going to be at school to meet this morning, score! I have errands i needed to run anyway, number one; change my freakin oil. I am about 2,000 miles over, yikes!!
Anyway, so i got here and they told me it would be about two hours. So i pulled out my laptop and started working, this place is pretty nice! Last time i was here they mentioned that i should bring work to-do while i waited, this time i did. I might come back here later tonight to work, who knows! Who knew.
This was lame. It is ok.
