I'm a bad bad student, just horrible. And if you feel the need to mock me after reading this, then you can suck it. Anyways, this was our first full week of class and y'know what I did? Well, I went to my American Gov't lecture and I fell asleep. Can you believe that!? I feel asleep on the second day of class. I seriously thought that I'd make it at least 1 or maybe even 2 weeks before I started dozing off in class. But thats not the worst of it. I had my discussion for that class later that day and I almost fell asleep in there. If the class had gone on for another maybe 30 minutes, I most likely would've dozed off. My english and introduction to film classes were a bit more pleasant. I was actually awake and attentive. But then on Wednesday I skipped my lecture, for American Government to go eat breakfast... and today I skipped it again, knowing full well that if I showed up in class that I'd fall asleep anyways. My friend went, however, and he admitted to falling asleep in there after demanding that I go this morning, HA! Loser.

But I'm still keeping up in classes and what not. I've read my books, done my assignments, so I'm not doing horribly, I'm just missing class a bit.

Lifehouse - Sick Cycle Carousel

Second post from UCR. Classes really start tomorrow. Sadly, I haven't even bought my books yet or even found out where 2 of my 3 classes are. Well, nothing more than a general sense. I really like college because it allows me a lot of freedom, as I'm sure anyone will tell you. My dad asked me today if I wanted to go home, and of course I didn't! Well what I actually said was something to the effect of "Well if I do go home it'll just be to get some stuff and then come back the same day." I don't know why but I'm not homesick at all, at least not at that time. Perhaps I've actually learned to grow up, at least a bit anyways. So in the spirit of being more responsible, I'm going to go to sleep instead of write more. Yes yes, lousy excuse but you know what? Too freakin' bad. More later.

Boyz II Men - Dreams

Hmm... no update for a while, been busy doing stuff actually. But from here on out, my thoughts will be available to all, well the ones I care to share anyways. Now that college is going on and I have things to observe besides CT's beating down T's and Sorceresses using static field, those of you who get that will find that extremely sad, and those of you who don't get it, I guess you're just not 1337 enough to understand what I be talking about. But anyways, UC Riverside here isn't half bad despite the 100 degree weather. I'm pretty much settled in here but I'm still lacking in a few things, like laundry detergent and tissue paper, but that can be dealt with later. I mean who needs to was their clothes and blow their noses?

My roommates are pretty cool. I most likely wouldn't have been friends with them otherwise because we run with different types of folks, but thats all good. What I like about college, so far anyways, is that everyone is so nice to each other because most people are all in the same situation where they don't know anyone, or a few people, and they are very receptive unlike in high school when people automatically make judgements. Not to say that things like pre-judging don't happen here, but just not as much I'd say. Thankfully classes have yet to start so I don't have any experience about how difficult things like that are but from what the deans, the professor and blah blah all administrators are telling us is that its hard as hell but you know what I say? Okay, well nothing interesting, just something like "Bah, we'll see..."

Anyways, as far as what I've been doing yesterday night I watched Undeclared and I'm glad this show came on this year because I can live my college experience through the eyes of the main character, Kevin Harp. I mean he's already screwed a girl he only said like 10 words to. C'mon, I mean I'm no stud but I'm sure that the way in which they did it was a bit more rapid than like 99% of the folks in college... but then again, I wouldn't know. Anyways, its almost time for dinner so I'm going to go, more later fo sho'.

Wu-Tang Clan - Triumph

I've been watching and listening to the news all day and this is still completely unbelieveable. I was almost completely speechless when I woke up in the morning, but now I'm more able to make observations and decisions. Seeing those Palestinians celebrating... I don't know, what I felt from that was horrible. In a situation like this there isn't much that I can say that hasn't been said or thought of. All I can say is please do something, anything to help. Go donate blood, or donate money... something. I wish I could do something besides donate money. At this point, if there were a draft of some kind for war, I would seriously consider signing up.

Shoutcast.com - AP Breaking News Live Coverage

God, nearly a month without a post... well, okay, not nearly a month but a long time. I've been so lazy doing nothing and avoiding thinking of any sort that doing any sort of introspective work would disturb me too much so I didn't write anything here. But I'm here to announce that I love New York City! Someone mentioned that most people like it but wouldn't want to live there, but me? I think I want to live there, but of course, I'll visit there a few more times before it comes to that. I really don't have much to say, I've been keeping myself busy on Battle.Net killing Diablo and Baal, w00t w00t and of course hanging out in Day of Defeat servers. Hopefully with school starting in a few days I'll have more new experiences and ideas to post because at this point in my life, my emotional development is at a horrible halt, all I do is mindlessly click a mouse button and stare at my computer monitor (a nice monitor at that, but a monitor all the same).

Today I got my residence hall information for UC Riverside and my roommate's name is Nikita Frolov. Yeah, I'm about as confused as you are. With a bit of research I found that "Frolov" is generally russian and that some males are named "Nikita" but I still find that a bit weird. I'm sure that whoever he is, he's a very nice guy, but its just an odd name... but we'll see how things go. He didn't leave a phone number on the sheet so I guess I'll have to wait 2 weeks before I find out who this fellow is.

My new favorite place to shop is TJ Maxx. I went there to get some bed spreads and sheets for my dorm and I found tons of deals on clothing. Sure, the clothing isn't very organized or very high in selection... but with a bit of luck and searching I believe you'll find what you're looking for there.

Lately, with my lack of emotional development, I've been thinking about how my parents have affected me, now that I'm moving away from them. I fear... or perhaps more like anticipate that I'll end up like my dad despite my best efforts. Not that theres anything horribly wrong with being like my dad or anything of that nature, but I don't want to have to be like him. Everyone sees those movies where the son realizes how much akin to his father he is and... well I hope I'm not like that. My dad is a great guy, as most dad's are, with few exceptions, but I would like to hope that I can learn from his mistakes and be a better person and perhaps one day a father... although at the rate that I'm going, I don't think anyone deserves to have to bear my child ;) ... Not that I would mind engaging in a bit of the process if you catch my drift :D

Okay, thats enough seeing as how its 4:30am. Oh, thats another thing, my biological clock is so messed up that its amazing that I'm able to function, but enough about me... hows about you email me so I have some real interaction with people.
