12:25 am	New Thing Well, while I've abandoned this for a blog based on my nerdier aspects, I realized I still need a place to vent my frustrations. Therefore, I created another blog. However, since no one follows me, I've decided to post the first few of my "Falsified True Experiences" and see if I can get any creative feed back, lemme know if you like how its writen. Or not, but then I may abandon what has been some of my best writing in the past few months. ( Enjoy )</div></div> (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:19 am	Abandoning. Alright  ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to say, but I think my time on Livejournal may be coming to an end. I've started a new blog. One where I'll be discussing the things that constantly cross my mind in great, possibly annoying, detail. I'll still use this one for some of more personal stories perhaps, but I wouldn't expect much to honestly come from this. Blogspot may be the way of the future, and, hopefully, I'll finally put something meaningful on the internet. Shalom. (Comment on this)

10:01 am	Dang it is early. Hi internet. So, I'm back in Morgantown, enjoying the overwhelming amount of heat which is really just making it hard to get comfortable at night, but I'll live, I'm sure. I took my first test for my soc class the other day, got a B on it, I'm about ready to take my next one, so hopefully I'll get an A on that one. Online courses are neat, but I feel like I'm more likely to put off the important stuff instead of actually doing the work. Not a good combination. I've also been writing a lot lately. I just finished this script for a short film I'd really like to shoot, but only if the guy I envisioned as the lead agress to be part of it. Then, it shall be awesome. Maybe. I've been somewhat social since I've been back in town, but not for the last couple of nights. Probably not tonight either. Ah well. I guess since I don't have a job, I'm just going to be spending more time with my xbox, which I'm totally okay with. My goal is 25000 achievement points before the end of summer, I'm like 5250  away from this currently, but I don't think it'll be a problem. I should do my second chapter of sociology. Later y'all.

9:21 pm	First update of the Summer Hello friends! Since I'm currently stuck at home, I feel like I should do something with my time, so I decided to update my LJ and see if I can get back into the habit. I probably won't, but doesn't hurt to try. So, I turned 21 last friday. I have since purchased alcohol twice, and, while it was neat, I honestly don't feel any older. I never feel older when my birthday rolls around. I only feel older when I look into the mirror and notice a new sag in my face or that the bags under my eyes are getting to be worse. Still, I am only 21 and my birthday party was friggin fantastic. Amanda was lovely enough to host it, and all of my friends in Motown came around at least for a little bit and we all had a good time. Seriously, probably the best way to celebrate my 21st, with my sweet new beer pong table, designed by Miss Amanda, my awesome gift of booze from Mr. Musgrove, my creepy Mark Twain thing from Gwyndaf, and my awesome Transformers stuff and Movies from Carrie. Fantastic way to celebrate. The next day was less good. Well, it started off good. Josh was hosting a party and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves out on the deck. Then the deck collapsed. It wouldn't have been as bad if I wasn't so close to the house. The scratches on my back stung for a few days. Plus, quite a few people fell on me, and I think that may have been the reason my foot got hurt. It is still kinda bruised, and I couldn't walk on it for a few days, but I don't think its broken although my aunt-nurse thinks I should get another x-ray to make sure. Nobody wants to spend any time in the hospital, and that includes me. Still, before the deck collapse, it was a good night. I also made the paper for it. That was neat. I have also been turning in job applications all over the place, but I guess nobody wants to hire me. I've decided if I don't get a job, I'm going to do something productive with my free time, ideally going to the rec since I'll be enrolled for summer school with sweet sweet online classes. If not that, I'll try and do something, maybe get a bike. Plus, I'll keep up the job hunt as long as I can, I definitely want to replace my computer if I can this summer. My grades are going to be fine this semester, there is nothing interesting to talk about here. I am currently in Charleston. Charleston is boring to me. DEAR FRIENDS OF JAMIE, IF YOU'RE IN CHARLESTON FROM NOW UNTIL THE 19th, GIVE JAMIE A CALL AND HE WILL HANG OUT WITH YOU DOING SOMETHING AWESOME, LIKE....A MOVIE....OR MAKING A TRIP TO CORRIDOR G, HE IS NOT PICKY. Oh, and Scrubs ended. Maybe. Regardless, Zach Braff is done with it, but the way they ended it was fantastic. They brought back so many ex-characters for it, it was really well done. I'm going to miss these people that have brought me joy for 8 years. Alas, maybe I'll get lucky and they'll change the shows format but keep some folks around. Either way, it had a good run, and I'll miss it for sometime. Meanwhile How I Met Your Mother and Lost are again taking me over. Next week will have some good TV I guess thats all for this update. I'll try again in a couple days, but no promises. I hope you're all safe and awesome too! (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:56 pm	Legitimate Update God I hate growing up. I remember high school, where I'd always be off hanging out with friends. Always, either at Parker's or Josh's, or having them over. Things have changed so much and it sucks. I never do adventures anymore. I never just go places, if only to just go. Gas has me in its grip, which sucks, because I'd totally be willing to drive if I didn't have to fill up so frequently with the good stuff. Even at lower prices, its not enough. I miss hanging out with my friends. I feel like I don't see Josh enough, or Sharon. Especially Sharon, she was one of my best friends before coming here and now I'm lucky if I see her in a month. Even the new friends I've made I never get to see because I'm either busy with work or class. So much shit to do. Still, I guess things are going okay. Still in that relationship, finally getting published in the DA as a writer and talking about stuff I like. I guess I just wish I had more time to do the good stuff. Maybe I'll be able to do it come spring break... (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:59 am	Rant! The next few things are just going to be me taking my frustration out on various people, odds are if you're one of the three people who still read these, it isn't aimed at you, but my stomach is killing me and I'm filling the urge to btich. If you do not want to read bitching, scroll down to another entry. ( Bitching ) (6 Comments |Comment on this)

11:25 pm	Who to Toast to Everyone has had this scenario: It is party time, and, even though everyone has had a bit to drink already, a few people have shot glasses in hand, full of whatever thier choice of delicious poision is. Of course, many people blank on what to toast to. Sure, if it is someone's birthday or finals week just ended, toast to those, but what if there is no appropriate occasion or person? Simple, you toast to one man. Wilmer Valderrama. "Who?" You may ask your monitor screen, expecting answer. Well, don't be foolish, you should just keep reading to find out who that is. And that is this man;   That's right. Fez from "That 70's Show." Why him? Simple. He has, literally, nothing going on for him right now. Or at least nothing you care about. Except dating lots of hot chicks. Lucky. But still, a man cannot survive on hotties alone, this man needs a career. So next time you need to toast to someone, do it for Wilmer. The guy needs someone kind of boost, I'm sure. Also, Kurtwood Smith is acceptable. (Comment on this)

2:18 am	Why not? Hello Live journal, long time no see. So...life is going. I've been worrying a lot about some small stuff lately. Mostly, what am I going to do once I'm done with school. Something, probably, but I have no idea as to what. Plus, I need to find one more roommate soon, otherwise I might lose my apartment for next year and have to find a new one, which would, in all honesty, suck. I'm comfy there, and I'd rather stay there. Also, things are changing. A lot. People are growing up and having to do things with their lives, or their lives are doing stuff to them. What job is it where I can just play video games all day and get paid for it? I want that one. A lot. It'd make me happy, anyway. Ugh, I need to get hired by the DA as a writer, do that roommate thing, write a 4-5 page paper plus bibliography on a topic I have yet to choose and finish making part of a website for journalism class, most of that needing to be done before Thursday. I wanna stay young for one more decade. College young. Then I'll decide what to do with my life. (4 Comments |Comment on this)

1:43 am	So......dorm. This is a letter to you posted on LJ because I feel like you might have internet, what with there being routers everywhere and you have no eyes cause you are a building. I am happy to be leaving you in two days. I will not miss your bi-polar temperature changes and your random room searches, nor the jackasses that fill you in such a way that leads me to constantly deal with said jackasses. I will also not miss the awkward bathroom with people all waking up and fighting for the handicap shower because the extra space. In fact, fuck your bathroom entirely friend. Me and Water fountain have indeed gotten close since my near-ban on soda, so he is cool with me, he deserves a high five and I'd like you to pass that on since he lacks both eyes and internet access. I am also not going to miss the broken as shit window I've had to use for the past two years. C'mon man, its your body, treat it better. I also want you to know that your closest that open whenever they feel like it are not even a little appreciated and I hope they die in a fire. However, after using you for so much, and being my first, maybe second, home away from home, I do want to say thank you for the roof over my head and a bed to sleep in. Both were very much appreciated. However, this is the end of our relationship, for tonight I move most of my junk out of you forever, and I will only spend barely 30 hours with you as home. I do not regret our agreement and I am glad it was kept professional, but its time to call it quits. So. Good-bye forever. Sincerely, James "Cobra Commander" Carbone. P.S. Fuck you and die in a fire.

12:25 am	Sweet Music To Me So next week is definitely my birthday. The 20th May 1st to start and end while I am alive. I want to say it won't be a big deal and being twenty will be nothing too hard to deal with, but honestly? I'm freaked the fuck out. Turning old is something I've never wanted to do. At all. I always wanted to be a kid at heart who is always trying to do the best thing and have fun while doing it. I know I've had some mishaps on this road, but I think I'm doing the right thing with it, but being old means I'm not a kid. Damn. In other news, I'm happy with the girlfriend. I was bummed out the yesterday, but not at her, just the situation, because on my birthday I guess I'm not allowed to spend it with the people I really want to spend it with, from family to friends. Going on 8 years with this shit. But still, I'm happy with her. I was lying next to her and just happy to cuddle, smiling wide and lacking a care in the world except for the two of us snuggling. It is a good relationship. I'm also really broke and this couldn't have come at a worse time. I need money for, ahem, Grand Theft Auto IV, FF VII: Crisis Core, Mario Kart Wii, The Anti-Monitor Clix which comes out next week and the whole shit-load of stuff I generally tend to want. However, I am proud to say I put in two job applications, 1) Re-hired at the DA for next semester already, 2) Wal-Mart, for all kinds of positions on the application. One has already panned out for me, now I just need to be hired by Wal-Mart or put in more applications, which seems like the thing to do anyway, what with it being more likely for me to be hired then. I should also apply for writer at DA, what with the need of 500 inches to graduate as a News-Ed major. So...I think I'm out of interestingness, assuming I had any. Ah well. EDIT: Just received this CommunistSalmon: Dude.  If you're him, you've really fallen.  Like, you've really changed from the dude I used to know.  That dude in transcendent realms of light outshone fucking myriads, and myriads are fucking bright. Any ideas who this is? Current Music: Mr B. - No More Kings (8 Comments |Comment on this)

12:54 am	I wonder what I'd transform into if I was a giant robot... Alright, so I'm trying to update this thing once a month, and since my last update was March 1, I feel I should go and get my April update out of the way. I have nothing really interesting to report. My pledge class is coming along pretty fine although theres a few kids who need some sense kicked into 'em, but who doesn't? I'm trying to finish "Everything is Illuminated." It took awhile to get into, but once I did I really got into it, I just always forget I have it to read and instead spend too much time (five or six hours) on TEH INTAHWEBZ and am honestly wasting my time there. Sorry internet, you're a cheap whore and you know it. I need to use my creative juices lately, cause if I'm walking somewhere or not doing anything, there is ideas jumping around my head. They might be generic, but I've convinced myself they have potential. Maybe I'll hammer something out and put it on the internet to be torn apart by total strangers for their own joy. Bastards. Oh, dude, Smash came out since I've last posted. I've played the shit out of it, but I've yet to find a favorite. Needless to say, I've lost my attachment to Link, the fella just seems too toned down. OH! I'm totally staying up in Morgantown for the summer, probably taking a class, but at least working. I've still got the DA Job as Campus Calendar editor, so thats good, and this week (hopefully) I'll have turned in my applications for Editorial and A&E Writer, so hopefully that'll happen too. Sadly, it seems like I'll have to pull a third job or donate plasma and do a shit ton of drug studies. More on that as it develops. Back on the DA writer thing; for both jobs you have to turn in some kind of example of your work. For my editorial thing, I wanna write an editorial on the fact that we have no super heroes. Comic books, movies and cartoons based on them and even toys all sell pretty damn well, so how come no one has come out doing it. That "Kick-Ass" comic focuses on it a bit, but thats still a comic and there still isn't anyone doing it. If I was in better shape, I tell myself I'd do it, but I don't know. Essentially, if people are inherently good as so many things seem to claim, how come we don't have more citizen heroes outside of the occasional public interest story? If it were true, wouldn't more people be stopping muggings or assaults and the like? Hell, I myself am guilty of something like this. Last semester, I saw a woman and a man fighting, both visibly intoxicated, and the man was essentially dragging the girl somewhere against her will, although she was standing. A man from a nearby bar was yelling at the two, but instead of trying to help, I just walked on. I eventually told a cop about it and he said he'd "Check up on it if he got a call." It still haunts me that I might have let this girl get hurt, and if there were modern day vigilantes running around, they might have stopped it. Even if its nerdy, I think I'll be able to write an article on it, no problem. I think I may have shot my wad with that last bit, so I leave you all with this: Man Factory (2 Comments |Comment on this)

11:53 am	Quick I think this is going to be a good weekend. I've pretty much already defeated the space plague I've been dealing with, I've got a bit of a sore throat and slight congestion, but I should be good by tomorrow at the latest. Yesterday I reserved Smash Bros. Brawl in full, and I'll be getting it next weekend which is uber exciting for me because this is the game I've been waiting for and next weekend I totally get it, awesome. Last night they had Rock Band set up on giant projection screens in the Mountain Lair, and I enjoyed myself by beating Foreplay/Long Time on expert with a 93%, not too shabby I thought. After that I headed to Swisher's house to find Josh and Tristan who had descended there earlier. It was an interesting little party, met a few cool kids as well as seeing my buddy Boston Mike. They had this game called filp pong, a combo of beer pong and flip cup. Me and Fernandez lost our first game against the reigning champions, which I thought was no big deal... Then I found out they were freshman. In the second game we killed them. Killed them. I left after being there maybe 45 minutes because Josh was drunk and I only wanted to check things out, so I killed two birds with one stone and walked the boy home. It was most certainly entertaining to walk with the boy who had an ongoing fight with gravity. Today is Paden and Omar's. Should be good, or else *shakes fist* (Comment on this)

4:39 pm	Kawaii! So I've gotten my learners for the...fifth time? Normally I'd just get it to have an ID, but its become dreadfully apparent I'm going to need a car at school if I stay there over the summer, and it seems more and more often that I am, although I'm not complaining. Still, I'm doing driving class to lower my eventual insurance, and from what the guy side I'm pretty good, which is nice to hear. Lego Star Wars still owns my soul. Since Monday, I've been trying to watch at least one new movie every day I'm home, so three Bond movies and Hairspray later, I'm still doing good so far. Probably time for another one in a bit though. I think I need to cut a few folks out of my life because weve both become rather different over the past few years. I guess I'll just wait and see if the changes were permanent and if I can handle them. Im not a fan of change. Current Music: Blues Drive Monster ~ The Pillows (Comment on this)
