Cold Weather

Lately things have been kind of slow for me. Not a whole lot has been going on other than school being tiring. It seems that for work I was able to rely on the sports guys to help me out and give me work. While I am not shooting a whole lot of games they are giving me little assignments that help keep my paychecks a flowing. Yesterday I had to shoot a football player that one of the guys was interviewing. Cody (the guy I was taking the picture for) wanted a normal shot of the guy just tossing the ball around to himself or something. So as I was getting this guy ready I told this guy to look off a bit as if he was in the interview already and talking to Cody and to look as if he was laughing. He thought I was the craziest person around. And I seem to have offended him by asking him to do anything other than a very angry tough face. Dude... Youre on the football team. We dont need reassurance that youre tough. Oh well. That is what I got.

School has been a bitch. Ok well let me rephrase that. Cost Accounting has been a bitch. My teacher failed EVERYONE on the first test. The class average is a 52 on the first exam. And normally when something like that happens the teacher will usually do something about it. But he just thinks its all of our faults and isnt going to help us. So we really have to bust our asses to make sure that we do good. Just kind of sucks.

Ive been working on the Rubik's cube again. I'm going to start speed cubing and learn to solve it even faster. My current record is 1min 25seconds. Hopefully I will be able to get down into the 40 second ranges. I know people get down t 20 but I really dont need that. I just want to be able to do it real fast. Nothing competition worthy. Ive even ordered a speed cube. Though the place I ordered it from was in Australia and PayPal is taking their sweet ass time converting the currency. It should actually go through today.

Oh well. One thing I find is kinda funny is that even though you buy the same brand of cube, where you get it can make a difference in quality. I know this from experience. A Rubik's cube from Wal-Mart ($10) has good stickers on it that last but its not very loose at all making it harder to spin and get fast times. The SAME cube from Walgreens ($10) just less packaging has worse stickers, but it WAAAY looser and smoother. I can deal with stickers. I dont like an unsmooth cube. God I feel like such a sexy genius loser when I talk about stuff like this.

The weather has been getting cold!! I freaking love it. I cant wait to start wearing my jackets! Especially this awesome new jacket I got from the school bookstore thats really nice. It was on clearance so I got it for a really good price too. I love the cold weather. So much nicer to deal with and its also nice to hold someone in.... but thats getting too gay lovey dovey right? Ok. Well just know that I love cold weather!

One thing that I am really looking forward to is having Brian coming over this weekend. This bastard has never come here to Huntsville to hang out and Ive only been here like 2 1/2 years or something like that. Oh well. Hes finally coming. His girlfriend Marianne might be coming as well. I think we are all going to go out to eat and then go see MAX PAYNE!! I am so freaking excited to see that movie! I loved the games very much so I hope they did an awesome job on the movie.

Anyways I have to go to hell school, so I must be going. Tootles

Beaded Curtain

You know... sometimes there are these little things... little moments... that you share with others. They just really make you smile and enjoy your life. Whether it be a really really horrible movie that you enjoy because you get to laugh at it and make fun of it, looking at things in someones room that describe who they are, or enjoying a night out embarrassing myself ice skating with someone you care about. A lot of these things stay in your mind and eventually resurface later make you think how lucky you are. To have friends... loved ones. One thing that really got to me and I know will often resurface itself is holding hands through a beaded curtain. I don't know why... It was small, quick, and probably unnoticed... but it was just nice. Goodnight.
