the next president, a little blurry

the speech

back from the cu game where we ate up some goat tonight. a lot of the time while i sat and watched, i couldn't help but think that just three nights ago i was across the field watching obama give the speech of a lifetime. thursday night was so amazing. it was all so powerful and full of energy. after witnessing something like that, i can't imagine anyone voting for mccain. although, this new chica from alaska certainly adds a little more excitement to things. this move was pretty smart on mccain's part. i'm really looking forward to any debates that happen between her and biden. who cares about all of these other people though. everything is about obama now. the past couple of years i supported obama only second to the junior senator from new york. now i'm with him all of the way. being at the convention did it for me. i've never seen anything like that before. anyway, each his own. i'd recommend anyone go to youtube and check out his speech if they missed it on tv. i look forward to watching mccain's as well. there is really no way he can top what obama did though. hopefully the protesting that happens at the rnc will take away any bit of spark the repubs can muster.

i can't wait for gta4 to come out on pc. to bide my time i have been playing torn city. it's kind of lame but kind of fun all at once. and it's free! peace.

the mini vacation

i love spending time with katie. she eats anything and smiles at everything. she is such a sweet girl. i am just not very good at waking up with her. but i'm good at playing with her and teaching her things. we talk about things and today i showed her a caterpillar that she would have eaten it if i had brought it close enough.

life is going to get really settled soon. only six credits left. two more class is nothing compared to everything i've done. i heard that one of the classes requires close to a hundred pages of reading each day. but it is only a month long class and at least i will have time to do the reading. i got so busy and behind this past semester that i had to stop reading in mid-february from my three text books. not that i'm complaining or would expect any less from a program like this. i'm just happy enough to have passed my classes.

we are lucky to have some trails through the neighborhoods and open space about a block away. miles and miles of great summer running.

the lawn mowing was challenging, but went well. i'm currently on a mini-vacation from life. each day is like a new week. the past few days i've been spending many hours in the yard. i didn't expect that it could feel so rewarding bending over and sweating all day. summer school doesn't start up until sometime in june, which is wonderful. i was supposed to have taken all of last week off from work as a way to finally catch my breath from the semester. but because the other intern had to visit her bulimic sister in nashville, my time off had to be pushed back. so last week i worked while my mom and sister were also in town visiting. monday was the first time in ages that i just did what i wanted. drove to boulder and ran errands, got my mop chopped, more yard work, and did some running. i'm really trying to get back into that again because the boulder-boulder is coming up. it's probably not going to happen for me though. 10k is far for my fat a.

the lawnmower

sorry, i would have been here sooner but i've been in school 70 percent of my life. also i'm in the middle of cleaning my cat's puke on the carpet from when he ate grass in our backyard. it's unbelievable, but i think the hard part of the whole school thing is finally behind me. this semester was a freaking nightmare. and hopefully i pulled it off. i'll be happy to answer any and all questions regarding modern telephony, my capstone project, how to lead and manage, and of course, networking for all of your real-time multimedia needs. these are the classes i took and the grades i wait for. two more this summer and then it's off to the races. not races. i mean daily grind. it'll be good though. i'll get to mow my lawn. speaking of, saturday may very well have been the first day of my life when it really hit me that i'm an adult. i got up that morning, drove to sears and bought a lawnmower. it's pretty dang sweet. now if i can just figure out the sprinklers.

i'll put up some pictures of the semester and little katie. oh my, she is a cute one. i don't know if i'll keep writing in this stupid thing. what a waste of my time. one day it will be deleted from digital existence or lost amongst the quadrillions of webpages. good riddance. no one needs this rubbish.

went to casa bonita a few nights ago. they added a few more things to the menu i think. and maybe jacked up the prices. other than that it's still the same old restaurant that i'd classify as a little strange.

man i don't know what to do with myself. i come home from my internship and work on more internship stuff. trying to advance that into a non-internship type of job at the moment. kim called my situation a gamble today, which it is. well, it's been real.
