pictures


so i've started to take pictures again and hopefully i'll stick to it. i owe it all to the "great eye" who we will call penner. without her video camera, that has a fancy picture mode, none of my pictures would have been possible. thanks penner.
i find taking pictures relaxing, so in my spare time, when i'm not working on school stuff, i'll be taking pictures. i'm up to about fifty pictures now and i've posted the ones I like thus far on flickr. com, which you can link to by pressing the "photographs" link at the bottom right hand corner of this page.
anywho, i've been busy, that is why my post are far in-between. i'm hoping to keep a tour journal once we leave on tour. have i mentioned i play in a band, well i also play in a band and we are planning a u.s. tour for september. i'll be able to keep a journal while touring, one of the guys is taking a laptop, so it shouldn't be too hard.
i've also been riding my bike to school everyday this week, the weather has been hell that i'm starting to look like a piece of burnt leather. i'm hoping to get back into riding my bike, my love handles have turned into love tires, got to get them back into shape. maybe if the weather keeps going the way it is, it will melt the fat off my body, i'll keep my fingers crossed.

i can't hear you...

man those roofers work long hours, they didn't leave until 8:00 pm last night and they still didn't finish. i wonder if they would give us a discount since they said they would get done in a day, since last i heard they might not finish until saturday...oh well.
first summer session is over i have a whole two days to party, yeah bring on the strippers. no not really, i have to keep chipping away at my papers. plus i have to write two more papers to get credit for pervious history classes, bummer.

i'll write more later when i get home, i have to go work on my paper now, got to take advantage of the library. this p.s.u. library is so intoxicating, rich with information, i could seriously get addicted...

Summer In Abaddon

yesterday was heckacrazy. when i arrived home yesterday i had to make a cake for a small gathering we were going to in the evening. but when i got home i got a message from the roofers saying they would be a day earlier to replace our roof... i'm listening and thinking how the hell am i going to prep the house, because you have to have all crap moved away from the house and we had plenty of crap to move, cut the grass(weeds), tear or more appropriately destroy the back patio cover, because it needs to be moved so the roofers can work on the house and get a cake ready by 7pm for the small party. let me tell you...it was not easy, but i got it done. that's right baby, this guy got shit done and let me tell you how i did it.
i got the cake ready to bake around 5:30, which took about thirty minutes to cook and in that time i cut the grass which took 24 mintues and in the remaining six minutes i made the ooze that is tres leches to soak the cake and in the time it took to let the cake cool down i started to prep the house and the patio. 6:05 I started the patio break down and by 6:45 i was done. I never realized that if i put my mind to it, i can finish three tasks at once with the proper time managment, but will i manage my time in the future...hell no...that was a one time thing...we'll see.
today...holy smoke, the roofers are scaring me. they arrived at seven in the morning, which was totally cool, but man they are loud. it seems like at any moment one of them is going to come crashing through the roof and land right in our bed, which is ok with me...wink-wink. i have pinback blaring in my headphones and i still hear the pounding, it's crazy.
pinback kicks ass and i'm really getting into this whole computer mp3 shuffle thing. why didn't anyone tell me how much fun listening to shuffle mixes of music would be. now i need to improve my collection of music, start from scratch, take it back to pavement and keep an ear out for the next music spectravaganza. i'm gonna have to hit the music shops and reconnect myself to the hipster main vain. because i've slowly gone through a hipsterectomy, thus losing any kind of "cool" i might have had at one time.
my friends it will be an adventure.
on other news...i've decided to start this blog from scratch and welcome anyone that would like to partake in stimulating reading and i don't mean my writing, if you read my writing you'll be asking yourself why you spent the whole two or so minutes of your time reading my crap, because ultimately blogs are kind of like a mental or thought diarrhea and some of them really stink and take a long time to really flush out, thus causing a reader to experience a writers (my) agonizing poop.
but, hey i invite any readers to read my friends blogs and mine if they want. by the way, did i mention the crazy roofers tearing the crap off our roof. reene is going to be so happy. it's the summer of change because i feel "the winds of change" a-comin'...no really. it's building time in casa de castichell, four more weeks of school and then i'm free to destroy the weeds in the yard. it's go time bitches, that's right you weeds are going down.
let me tell you something...these weeds have such a fortitude to regenerate themselves that it requires more mental capacity than i have to understand... no, to comprehend, how they keep coming back to haunt and mock my waking existence.
as i sit here, i can see them growing. they look at me with no fear. four weeks i say, four weeks and you will die.die.die. sons of bitches.
i've decided the only way to get rid of these things is build right over them. that's right it's building time just like i said early, it's the summer of change. paint the house, build the patio cover, maybe a small deck i'm not sure, a walk-way to the trees in the backyard and lastly a kiln. if i manage the kiln, then perhaps i can help my friend k build one.
i've got my plate full people. can i get it done...we'll see won't we...

p.s. excuss the typos i'm working on it.
