i am a living map

on n. michigan ave right now in chicago at the apple store. ryan is busy updating some football fantasy crap. chicago is something else. not sure if i hate it or love it. getting here was something else entirely. we've already been up to the sears tower. now just heading down to some other shops and hard rock. who knows where' we'll be tonight. this town is nuts. buildings are crazy, driving is horrible, parking outragous, and lots of poor people. they have quite the slums. well, we out.

goodbye

so i’m getting a ton of crappy spam as comments to my blog. guess i’ll be changing a few settings to fix that. at toms, again.

went ridin today with my bro. i whined like a baby, but i guess we ended up racking in around 26 miles. tom won the championships for his hockey league. saw karen last night in boulder. mandy moore is soo freaking hot. tom and i are watching saved! right now. “jesus loves you: everyone else thinks you're an asshole.” someone made me believe that they came up with that phrase on their own. we are seeing if its as good as everyone said it was. mandy is certainly as hot as ever. tomorrow morning i leave. my ass really hurts from riding. this movie i think is kinda like how vicki’s church was. my co-workers got me that $40 gift cert for blockbuster and i bought passion of the christ and eurotrip. maybe not what they had in mind when they gave it to me, but i’m stoked. and t gave me cthd. i have a really bad headache. hard to believe i'm leaving tomorrow. its gonna be a crazy early morning. i'm diggin jena malone. i'm really hungry right now.

some town, colorado

going nutz 

chipotle 

ethan and the full effect

just read that sept 6 is the first day back from recess for congress. which is good and bad i guess. means its gonna be crazy busy with people that day cuz everyone is basically back from their summer vacation. also means that the lady probably planned it this way and i'm sure it won't be that nuts since she knows what she is doing.

sittin in the backyard of tom's masters' house on this fine boulder morning. sleeping sucks these days. i can't wait to get back into a bed again. so far i've slept on a floor, 2 couches, and a futon. tonight will probably be camping. last night i had the pleasure of mingling with tom's rulers. they are your typical rich kids. and alli, queen of the realm, was kind enough to tell me her thoughts on tom's new found love for like an hour straight. strange the last two years have been tom and i surrounded by rich snobs.

not sure long i can sit out here because there are bees all over this place. chilled at danielle's place last night. saw wedding crashers. ate with the kids. its a beautiful day.

damn good 

goodbye colorado 

hopefully

this is so freaking weird right now. i'm in the serf's (tom) living quarters watching seinfeld. we are basically looking like two of the gayest people you've ever met. on our laptops on his futon thing. its really bad. saw carrie and karen and lacey tonight. and his landlords (roommates) are upstairs with a blender on and stomping with their stupid heels on the floors. i feel bad for that kid.

lunch at thunderbird was heaven. karen's place is really nice. tomorrow will be more of the same.

and kim prolly won't read this anytime soon, but i love her and miss her.

who are you talking to? no one . . .

odd i got nothing to say

tom doesn't think that this stuff is. he liked the reverend story, but everyone seemed to enjoy that. things are going good though. spent yesterday with the fam and kri. then the night with tom and ryan doing the usual: bowling, then sitting around asking each other what we were going to do. went over to CU in the morning and as usual, it was pretty beautiful. funny that pretty much everyone i know has gone there and/or graduated as well. and here i am praying i get into the place. so amazing as usual. my eating is actually pretty well under control. of course i've had a little bit more than usual, but it hasn't turned into the pandemic that i thought it would. haven't seen karen yet but hope to today or tomorrow. first few night's sleeps have been weird. really got no plans for the rest of the night or week. just doin whateva. and saw my bro too. argued about music and pretty much every other subject there is. we did agree that this one cyclist chick was hot. that's about it.

that about duz er 

no comparison to vesuvio's

kinda going through a weird phase where i'm sad because in my mind i think that the closer it comes to getting here, the closer it gets to just ending. this four months, i have a feeling, will fly and before i know it i'll be driving away from this huge trip i'm getting ready for. its like whenever christmas comes around i see it as so much freaking hype getting higher and higher. then it comes, then its over just like that. all that to end. i'm sure it won't actually be like this, but i wonder.

our thee year anniversary was tonight* and we ate at such the fancy little itanlian joint. my kimmers surprised me with what apparently is my christmas present since i thought the pen was my real anniversary gift. which is why i'm up right now at 4:30 gettin all my songs transferred. and i know what some think out there; that its just a trendy little overpriced mp3 player where cheaper ones would do just as good, maybe better, and includes a dumb pair of little earbuds. but i do like it and thinks its pretty sweet. and i'm usually the last person to ever upgrade to the latest and greatest in tech. either way, its the best present ever and she's outdone me once again.

=w=eezer at the pepsi center? i hope they can fill it. sadly gonna miss it though.

i work tomorrow from 1700-0100. its gonna suck. i think my people have something up their sleeves that they will try and surprise me with. feel bad though because that means they are gonna have to stick around till 1700 and most leave at like 1500 on fridays. (aren't i badass by using military time?) and i'm gonna have to put on a huge grin like i'm so happy they did what they did or surprised me with a goodbye. its not that i'm not happy about it, just not good at giving the expressions they would want from me.

i've had enough of all this goodbye business. no one likes them, so why do em? oh well.

*not really

my wife is too amazing. now everyone say in their heads, "that boy doesn't deserve her."
