I'm Pissed

So, here I am trying to relax after finishing the entire Star Wars saga tonight (it's true, Episode III really enhances the entire series and makes it all the better), anyways, back to what happened. I decided that I would try and make up Katie and my wedding playlist on my mp3 player, and I had it all finished, like 45 awesome songs, when I accidentally put in in the wrong playlist. No big deal, says I, so I drag them to the real playlist, then I try to delete these songs off of this wrong playlist, when all of a sudden, it deletes them completely off of my mp3 player! NOW, I have to go and find which songs I had and then find each and every cd that they came off of and then reload them onto my player and then onto the playlist. The problem? Some of these songs I don't have on cd and are only on my computer back at school, other songs... I have deleted off there too, now I am completely pissed off. I hate stupid technology.
On another note, I'm glad to see that Mr. Wiley reads my blog, it would really be nice to see if others of you read this.... that means I would really like to see some comments, it's hard for me to know if there really is any point to writing these if no one really reads them. Therefore, I think I will take Mr. Wiley's example (in one of your previous posts, Chris) and say that if I do not get a certain number of comments/responses within 10 days, this blog just might end. There's no point in me writing if no one reads, so there you have it, this blog is in your hands, do with it what you will.
Godspeed.

Done and Episode III

Well, it sure has been a while since I updated, but I had to go ahead and finish out my college career. Yes, thanks to Dr. Shirley and my A in Renaissance and Renascences, I was able to graduate Cum Laude! It's great being done, even if I don't quite have a job, I should soon, because if the library doesn't ever get back to me, I'm going to be spending some time up in the Career Center with Diana until I get a good job. Yeah, less than two weeks to the wedding, it's coming up really fast now!
The best thing about the past week was definitely the release of the final Star Wars movie! If you haven't seen it, it is pretty incredible! Finally, there is a prequel that captures the awesomeness of the original trilogy. Plus, there is just so much within that movie that ties everything together, it's so wonderful. Not only that, but it really toys with your emotions! You can't help but feel for Anakin and you just want him to make all the right decisions even though you know that he won't! I really can't talk much about my other favorite parts because it would definitely ruin the movie for those of you who haven't seen it yet. Just trust me and go see it as soon as you can! It really is a great movie, even if it wasn't a Star Wars movie, it stands alone as awesome!
Now that I'm at home, I get to spend some time rocking RE4 on the big screen! I love it! Speaking of, I think I'll get back to it, and maybe start up a farm on Harvest Moon.
Godspeed.
PS Check out the new Underoath cd, its fantastic!

The Wittiest Senior finished his final day of classes!

Yes, not only was I voted the Wittiest Senior by some online vote thing (in which I promptly put my name in every catergory), and I actually won! The best part? I skipped the stupid luncheon thing so that I could eat my quesadillas and watch Empire Strikes Back with Jared and Katie!! Woohoo!
So, today was pretty killer. I had a presentation, the in-class portion of my Intro to Christianity final, and a book review of The 12th Century Renaissance for my history class. Yeah, so now I'm completely done with classes forever!!! All I have to do is three take home finals (I've already completed my one for Christian Worship) and I'm done with my academic work here at LaGrange College. And for those of you who keep asking and don't know, no I am not going to seminary nor do I forsee it in my future (and yes I am Nostradamus). Anyhoo, we've got Star Wars a week from tonight (at midnight that is) and my wedding is coming all the quicker with only 24 days left! Wow. Now if only I could find that elusive first job.
By the way, I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I love Ben Folds. He is just amazing, and I really don't think I've heard a bad song by him yet (I haven't heard it yet, Chris). Yeah, so if I can just push through this weekend of finals and make it out on the otherside alive, I'll be good to go! Okay, I'm gonna try and get a bit of my Intro final out of the way. Peace.
Godspeed.

This is my last week of college!

Yup, as long as I keep on top of all these finals that are coming up on me, I will be done by this time next week! Yea! It's an exciting concept, but it also kind of sucks because now I have to find a stupid job. I just called all the places I applied and still nothing. I hate it.
So, on a positive note, this weekend was great. Chuck and I went and saw Kingdom of Heaven on friday and it was pretty good, much better than I expected. Then while we were down in Columbus, Katie and Noelle met us down there and I got some good shopping in, getting a few ties and a nice purple button-up shirt. Then on saturday, Katie and I went yard sale shopping with Jared, Ben, and Mary, and I got my Quesadilla maker!!! I was excited! It makes very delicious quesadillas too. Then, on saturday night, during the showing of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on ABC, I got to see the teaser trailers for Narnia AND for the new Harry Potter movie!! Woohoo. Cap it all off with Brewsters last night, then a great hang out on Jared's porch with Katie, Margie, Noelle, Chuck, and Jared made the weekend great. All of this combined with the fact that I actually got ahead of myself and finished my worship service and started on my final for that class means I'm doing great in the world of school (now if only I had the same luck in getting a job).
Since all my classes are cancelled today, I have plenty of time to work on my finals and I'm hoping to get at least one done by tonight, so that I might even be done with finals by this friday, which would mean an entire week of relaxing before graduation! Therefore, I must return to the grind so that I can get this stuff done as soon as I can.
Godspeed.

Call us geniuses, but only if you must

So, Chris Wiley and I are complete dorks. Not only did we have an argument about Ninja Turtles, but we invented a fifth turtle. Just as he placed it into his blog for posterity, I thought that ya'll might like to see it, it is quite hilarious. (My words are in blue, chris' are in red).
NateDawg403: so, what colour slap bracelet did you get?
wileycoyote1313: green, duh...only the greatest color in the world
NateDawg403: whateva, i got purple
wileycoyote1313: well...that is the color of donatello...so i cannot fault you
NateDawg403: eff donatello, Leonardo was the greatest
wileycoyote1313: ah, HELL NO! Bo Staff has the better reach and focuses on both non-lethal and lethal attacks making Donatello not only smarter but more humanitarian. Leo had to be extra careful with his freakin' swords because he couldn't just tap someone on the head...he'd split their skull. Brains over Barbarianism anyday!
NateDawg403: did you just say brains over barbarianism??????? the sword is the most delicate of all weapons available, only the most skilled can use one as effectively as a ninja, and because Leo was against killing people anyways (he was a hippie vegetarian) he was amazingly apt with his blades and never killed a single enemy
wileycoyote1313: yeah, that's what they want you to believe. But behind the scenes there was Titian the fifth turtle. Unfortunately during a training bout (infused by a little envy as Titian was the original leader), Leo cut straight through Titian's half-shell slaying his brother-in-arms on the spot. Splinter immediately commanded that Leo's swords be blunted, and fearing another bout of envy Splinter put Leo in charge to appease his ego. Damn you Leo! Titian did not deserve to die!!!
NateDawg403: that Titian story is overrated, everyone knows that he taunted Leo constantly and poisoned Leo's blades without his knowing and then pressed the blade into his own soft part of his shell and with his dying words blamed it on the poor innocent Leo
wileycoyote1313: THAT'S A LIE! TITIAN WAS A SAINT!!! Leo spread those lies to cover his ass. Unfortunately, Leo became too popular before the truth came out and now everyone believes his damn cover story. One day the truth will be revealed and Titian shall be avenged. Mark my words, Leonardo will die.
NateDawg403: TITIAN was an Adulterous bastard!!!!!!! he claimed to be in a loving relationship with donatello (the ethics of that will not be discussed here), but he consistently cheated on him with April, and therefore his word is impossible to trust, I just dont believe a word of what that traitorous turtle ever said! Leo was the one and only saint of the turtles, Donatello had his intellectualis and ego, everyone knows the habits of mikey and his "partying" and raph had the anger.... we wont even get into splinters problems
wileycoyote1313: HOW DARE YOU! It was Leonardo's constant biting remarks toward Titian and Donatello's relationship that lead Titian to feel the need to prove himself as a man...er...turtle. And it was Leo who suggested April to cheat on. Leo caused the rift between Titian and Donatello and constantly uses their "improper" relationship to exert control over poor Donnie. I have nothing more to say to you...I am too upset. Good day, my friend...if I can even call you that anymore!!!
For those of you still reading, I hope you got a chuckle out of this because it made me laugh all day long. I thank you, Chris for a great conversation! I'll put up another post this weekend discussing the amazing-ness of the new Star Wars soundtrack!
Godspeed

Hitchhiker's is out, and its dang good

As you can see, its been a great weekend. Friday afternoon, I went with Katie and Beth Randall to see Hitchhiker's and I was just delirious with joy afterwards. It does not follow the book, so those of you who have read it (i.e. all two of you) be warned, but also know that it was not meant to be the same, Douglas Adams believed that each incarnation of the story should be changed and therefore it is.
Anywho, the movie is terrific, its incredibly witty and it definitely has the feel of the books. The only thing I did not like was the audience I was with, because they didn't laugh when it was really hilarious, and it wound up being just Katie, Beth, and I laughing at some of the best parts. The Guide itself is just perfect and was probably my favorite character in the whole movie. Other than that the (spoilers, highlight to read) the romance between Arthur and Trillian seemed a little forced, and the recreation of the world was kind of cheap, although I did like the fact that Arthur chose to leave anyway. Aside from those small qualms, I loved the movie and I can't wait to see how they do the Restaurant at the End of the Universe!
Yesterday, I went to ATL with Chris, Katie, Andrew, and Debbie and saw Jump, Little Children which was an awesome show. Wow, I just cant think of too much to say, my mind is so Hitchhiker's central that I can't really get off of it. We've only got a week and a half left of classes then a week of finals and I'm done with my college career! Woohoo! Now, I just have to finish up on my job searching so thats I'm ready for the summer.
Okay, I have to do a little more homework for this week (notice I said this week, all I really ahve to do is prepare for my worship service and do some preliminary stuff for my finals!)
Godspeed!
