deathcab4u Keep on living - Subscribe
So for now I am just going to live as well as I can. I am not getting enough hours at work really. It doesn't make a convincing case for me to stay there if i get 15 hours a week. I could work at Walmart or a photo studio for better pay. I love my job, but the truth is that I do have options. I am a trained phototgrapher.

Merp. Oh well. I talked to Brittany for hours last night. It was after 3am before I realized it. We talke about so much from philosphy to motivation and happiness and living life.

It's always good when we chat it up.

I am goin to go to the store now. I am going to buy some food for me to eat. I need to get some bananas and orange juice for the mornings and some sort of snack i can take for lunch or dinner after school or at work.

Something protein I guess.

This mornign at Starbucks I got two big bottles of orange juice and a banana and think i might start a trend. Thats darn good orange juice too. I wont drink 24oz every morning, but today was special.

Peace to all you lovers out there

deathcab4u The other plan Mar 1st, 2006 7:35:41 pm - Subscribe
So heres a greater exploration of the other plan. The other plan goes as follows:

I attend Northern Michigan University and join the ROTC program. I contract with them and after finishing the last three years of my education I will serve in the Army as a second leuitenant. Thats already pay level of E-5.

So if I can get that program to work for me I will have them pay for all of my tuition, roo and board, and books. I will also get what is a stipend, or monthly spending money. For this I have to study a military science approved major and do all the ROTC activities.

But...it means i go to school only a few hours away from my best friends, I will still be off in the summers when they are and I will get to do the almost normal college experience save the physical training, uniforms and all that jazz.

So...I know that is what I would rather do. It keeps me closer to my friends. It allows me to get a good education sooner. It allows me to be an officer in the military, not an enlistee.

I think the pros far outweigh anything good from enlisting right now.

So thats all I wanted to add for now.

p.s. I really want a skateboard! I finally tried one today and it was supa fun. I wish I had taken the time to get on one sooner than today.

deathcab4u HAPPINESS IS ALL THE RAGE Mar 2nd, 2006 7:27:19 pm - Subscribe
"We could do more outdoor things, if we weren't so busy getting busy. Doing laundry finally, the first sign of first light, still nothing to wear between us. Now I am so filled with just one girl my eyes can barely open and I can barely read. So this is the end of the past, the first sign of first light, it's alright between us. I got my body and my mind on the same page and now happiness is all the rage. Still nothing to wear between us. Happiness is all the rage."

The Promise Ring - Happiness is all the Rage

I love that song, and parts of it feel pretty true right now.

"So this is the end of the past, the first sign of first light, it's alright between us. I got my body and my mind on the same page and now happiness is all the rage."

That all feels true so true.

I was fortunate to ahev a chain of events link me to a great thing today. The brief:

Tuesday: Bert granger and I tailed a suspect. In the course of the spy mission I talked to a girl from a class of mine. i told her Bert was a detective and that we were trailing this man. She was just wonderfuly blonde enough to believe all of this and was like, "Oh wow, can I help?!"

So after playing a little and her finding out it was just me weaving tales we went about our business down seperate paths.

Today I talked to her some more and we ended up talking over lunch. She was truely a woman. Not just any girl anymore. We talked and I was more than Casanova Goofball and she was more than a Gorgeous Blonde, a prize to be had.

We had lovely conversation but it was while i was with her I saw that NMU was having a colelge visit at 5pm today. So I may have learned this having not eaten with her, but I'm not complaining about talking about life with a wonderful person.

(Let me add here that i have no interest in dating her. I mean, yeah, it would be awesome because shes beautiful and amazing but I am more focused on getting my own life in order lately, and so was she)

Anyways, later I bumped into Rappin' Chad after Algebra and realized that to kill time between that moment and 5pm to meet the NMU lady that I could chill with him and then go to Campus Crusade.

Well, once again I got to talk to Nicole, the gorgeous girl with depth. Chad rapped for her and I walked her part way to a class so that this one creepy dude wouldn't talk to her.

Campus Crusade was nice. We talked about persecution and perserverence through that. We had a good discussion and prayer.

After that i hit up the NMU table and talked with the lady there and a fellow working another college table but he graduated from NMU so it was cool. We had fun. I am told i will for sure be accepted to NMU, so now I just need to contact the ROTC there and get info about the scholarship from them.

So I am stressed and tired. haven't slept much this week betwen school work and anxiety over what to do with my life.

Tomorrow I don't have work or school, but I doubt I will be up very late, I am whiped out my friends. It's been a good few days and i have thougth a lot about life and where it's headed. i have more personal discoveries I'd love to share but another time...if I am tired of typing this entry I can't imagine reading it...

p.s. Fellow working adjacent talbe that graduated NMU said there are some good skate shops in town ^ ^

A day that didn't mean much. A few things that happened...

Applied to NMU, I still need to send the application fee of $30.

I emailed the Military Science Department for more information.

I went to work.

Donnie told me I am an almost picture perfect employee. He said all I need to do is get my sales up a little.

Other people also notice it. I have heard Megan, Abbey and now Billy say that I am one of the most dedicated persons working there. It's mostly because i take pride in doing a good job and I like to be there so I can make money and pay my bills.

I wish I were only 16 sometimes. Where were all these good looking girls when I was 16? Why wasn't I as good looking and cool then as i am now...the way life laughs in your face.

Speaking of good looking girls Mandy and Brittany came back today. I was going to see one or both of them tomorrow but i covered Seth's shift so he could go to a concert. I wish I had remembered that part of the conversation with Bittany from last night when Seth called me today and asked me to work tomorrow...

I am going to start running tomorrow morning. Maybe do some walking and jogging. From what I have learned and been told it is best not to start of trying to run two miles but maybe one should walk/jog for 20-30 minutes. I know that having not done any physical activity in awhile i could run an 8 or 9 minute mile, but it wouldn't feel good.

My goal by summer is to do a 14 minute 2 mile run, and maybe go more distance from there.

I am going to try and figure out a way to do some muscle training too, to round out the cardiovascular. I could do something as simple as sit-ups and push-ups to finding weights to lift.

And thats a wrap boys and girls.

deathcab4u Loves new pants Mar 4th, 2006 11:48:24 pm - Subscribe
Today I spent money on clothes!

I bought a pair of pants and two shirts for $40. What everyone else would have to pay would be $80. So I feel good about store discounts!

So other than lookin' sexy not much new today.

Worked 3-cl, saw aarong Jenny and Brett.

Apparently i work tomorrow at 7. We are doing a floor move, which means a lot of tedious and physical work.

So tomorrow Aaron, Jenny, Brett and I are going out for breakfast. That should be fun. Then bible study and then work.

So. Yeah. A few things goin' on in my head but they can stew for a few days.

Livin' the dream boys...I'm livin' the dream
