Cabin Fever

Well, well....seems this semester is almost at it's close. I'M READY TO GO HOME, DAMN IT. As much as I love you, Susquehanna, I need a temporary change of scenery. Finals start next week, as we all know, and I really only have one final, Spanish. It's an oral exam, which I'm doing with my buddy Andres. I almost shit my pants I was so nervous for last semester's oral exam, but it went really well. Then again, I think my partner and I were fairly prepared for it. We had all our lines memorized, for the most part, which is always good. I'm pretty sure Andres and I will do well.

SO KENICHI. Yes, I've been deeply immersed in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi all week. It's very good, and I love it a lot. I still have so much more to read! YES. I haven't gotten very far in Blood+ because of Kenichi, but I don't mind because Kenichi is very good.

My poetry professor is actually making us do work this week. I say bullshit. Don't get me wrong, she's a wonderful professor, however her class is so boring. On the plus-side, I've gotten all my presentations out of the way. I always get so "shit-your-pants" nervous on those occasions, but when I get up there to present I'm always fine. It just has to get to the point where it's like, "Okay T-Blade, get your ass off that chair and get this shit over with". Who knows how well I did, but I believe I did just fine.

Today's just been one of those lazy-ass days. I've done quite a bit of sitting around doing nothing today, while chilling with friends who are always sitting around doing nothing. Sounds fantastic eh? Yeah.

My mental stamina has almost reached it's capacity for tonight, so I think I'm gonna sign off for the evening. I'll be back with a more substantial post in the near future.

It's About Time

Ah, so yet another week is coming to a close, though I can't say it was a busy one. I'm very excited that I'll be going home to spend some time with Lindsey and the rest of the gang. And by gang I mean Sean and Trey. We'll be playing some music along with just chilling and playing video games and what-not. I'll be catching Trey up on all the Bleach he's missed as well. Maybe him and I can watch the third Bleach movie sometime. That would be sicknasty.

You know, this week has been pretty uneventful. It feels like there's been more chilling than usual, and that's saying something haha. Zach and I went out and threw the frisbee around this afternoon, which was pretty relaxing. Him and Erica have been getting along really well this week surprisingly. I'm glad the two of them have been able to (somewhat) get along. Zach's a real softee deep down, whether he wants to admit it or not. Gotta love the guy. I also find Erica very funny. She's got a unique sense of humor and I do enjoy that.

On a musical note, I can't wait to get behind my drum kit again. I played drums briefly last night with Will, and I actually played on the kit this time, which felt pretty nice. I'm gonna fool around with some tunings on my toms when I get home so maybe I can get a better sound out of them. Not like I don't like the sound now, I just feel I can make it better.

Our group is doing Relay For Life next weekend, and we're all trying to raise some money for the cause. We're about half-way to the goal, but we only have a week left. I suppose we'll see if everyone can help out and raise something. We'll probably be going to see this band called "Cobra Starship" as well next Friday. The only song I know by them is the "Good Girls Gone Bad" tune. I suppose they're pretty good. Maybe I should listen to some of their other songs.

Oh! In anime world, they started releasing REAL Bleach episodes this week! I'm so pumped for what's to come, because by starting the series back up again I've been able to rediscover my love for it, and now I'm constantly looking forward to next week's release on Tuesday. In the meantime I'm finishing up Witch Hunter Robin, starting Blood+ and catching up on FMA: Brotherhood, Naruto Shippuuden, Inuyasha: The Final Act, Dragonball Kai, and I'm already all caught up on One Piece. I'm very excited for what's to come.

Lastly, I've decided to take on a large poetic endeavor. As to what it is exactly, I will not disclose. However, just keep in mind that it will be something to remember haha. I'm not quite sure where the inspiration came from, but it just hit me the other day. We'll see where it takes me.

Reaching A Conclusion

So it seems I only have just over three weeks left in my academic year here at Susquehanna. It seems I haven't really been in school much, to be honest. Hah, I don't think I've really been at SU for more than a month at a time. I could be mistaken but I believe that would be the case. I mean, it'll be great to be finished with Academics, but I will miss all my newfound friends here at Susquehanna (Kody, Zach, Tyler, Stephen, Kevin, Erica, Will, Caitlin, Brooke, Janelle, and all sorts of other people I've befriended here). Fortunately, a lot of us live within a couple hours maximum of each other so we'd be able to meet up over the summer if we chose to do so (which would be awesome). We're trying to get a beach trip together for late May, if we can pull it off. We'll see what happens.

I just watched the Blue Devils drumline documentary last night. Boy, lemme tell ya, it was absolutely ridiculous. They made me feel so inferior, yet so amazed, and even proud to have the same passion as those guys that were on the field. Although I know I won't be as good as those drummers out on the field, nor will I get the chance to march with a corps like that, it's still awesome that I'm able to personally somewhat take part in that kind of drumming. Maybe I'll be able to play some of their stuff one day XD

I'll probably be going to Trey's this coming weekend to play music and just chill for a day. I'm looking forward to that, since we haven't done that in a while. It used to be a little "ritual" of ours, I guess you could say haha. A little jam session followed by dinner and a little late night Halo goes a long way, you know. Plus, I'll be able to show Trey the Bluesmoke feature I got. I'm sure he wants to see that a lot.

You know what, I just stumbled upon a little band called "Fleetwood Mac" again today. I haven't listened to them in a very long time and realized how wonderful of a group they are. I don't know about them now, cause I'm pretty sure they toured last year. I don't even know if they have all the members of the band anymore. Knowing them, they probably don't. My mom used to play one of their CD's in the car sometimes when I was little. Kind of nostalgic.

In Anime-World, I've been re-watching Witch Hunter Robin lately. Robin was the second anime series I had ever downloaded on the internet back in the day. I don't even remember exactly when that was. The first was Trigun, and I vividly remember being all hyped up about having discovered the ability to dowload subbed anime off the internet. Since then, I have always watched subbed anime, because the Japanese voices are so much better most of the time. So, I'm about five episodes away from the end, and then I'll be adding yet another anime series to my anime vault. It's always good to add stuff to my anime vault. I'm so OCD sometimes when it comes to collecting stuff like that.

I've almost finished the first book of the "Demonata" series. It's real easy reading, but it's really interesting. Stephen recommended that series to me. Real graphic story, and as the name implies, it's full of demons XD.

Will said something about playing drums tonight, and I'm interested. So hopefully he'll say we can jam tonight for a bit. That would be awesome. I think I'm gonna go do something before then. Maybe some Witch Hunter Robin would do me some good. Or maybe I should read more Kenichi (martial arts manga which at times is pretty funny). I'm sure I'll find something to do.

All Good Things Come To An End

*sigh*....You know that feeling you get when you just finished a good book/show and you're happy you finished it but you're sad it's over? Yeah, well I just got that feeling after finishing The Get Backers tonight. It's the second time I've watched the anime adaptation in it's entirety and I still got the same feeling after finishing it. It's a nice mixture of feelings. I'm debating just leaving the evening off on that awesome note and going to bed, but I also want to keep watching anime. I think I might actually go to bed though. You see, the downside to an anime like The Get Backers is that it's only an adaptation. They only followed the manga up to a certain point and then went off on their own, like what they did in the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime. I've been on the hunt for a long time now for the manga online, but so far I've had little luck in finding some. The manga that I did find only covers the story up to a certain point. I'll have to keep looking this week and see if I can find anything. It's really an interesting story.

I'm a little on edge about this week. I have an in-class spanish composition tomorrow, a spanish presentation on Friday and a Poetry essay due on Friday. Our group hasn't gotten together yet for the presentation (I'm going to suggest we get together tomorrow night and Thursday night as well to work on it. I also feel that I'm the only one who really knows what he's doing out of the three of us as well. Should be interesting). The poetry paper, which I haven't started yet, shouldn't be too bad. I got a good grade on the last paper, and I'm decent at writing essays, so in actuality I'm not too worried. Just want to get it over with though, if you know what I mean.

I have recently started playing Pokemon Heart Gold, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. My friend Zach got Soul Silver here at Susquehanna, so we've been having some Pokemon sessions here in the dorm. This new Pokewalker gadget is kind of interesting too. Obviously it's an attempt to get video game infested children out and about and walking, but even still it's pretty cool. You can gain EXP for your Pokemon just by walking around with that thing in your pocket. However your Pokemon can only gain one level per visit to the Pokewalker, which I was upset about at first but then I realized that would be pretty cheap if it was able to do so. Hopefully I'll be able to at least semi-commit to this game, cause it's totally worth it.

Andrew still hasn't come back to school. Dunno what to think about that haha. My friend Jake told me he doesn't have class on Tuesdays, so I thought I thought, "Hey, it's cool, no worries". However he still hasn't returned, and it's already very early Wednesday morning. Oh well, guess he knows what he's doing. I had to forge his name on our sign-out sheet for Easter Break. Guess he forgot to do so. I don't think he realized we had a sheet to fill out. He's not around much so I suppose I should have told him about that earlier. All in all though, he's been an awesome roommate. Very nice guy.

Well, I guess it's about time to hit the hay. I might actually read for a bit before bed, since I've decided not to watch anymore anime (I'm leaving it off on a good note XD). Time to rape a Spanish composition in the morning.

Another Break?.....Can't Complain!

Here I am, home again for another weekend. It's actually been pretty good so far. Everyone's been in a fairly decent mood and I'm getting along with everyone really well. Hunter had gotten Final Fantasy XIII, along with a PSP of his own, so we were talking video games for a while upon my return home. It's always good to talk with him about stuff, because the kid never really seems to talk much anyways haha. It seems like he's gotten a bit smarter as well. He sounds more intelligent in general. Hayden's been doing pretty well it seems. He's a little more upbeat than he was during my last visit home, which is nice to see.

I replaced all the heads on my toms today, which I'm very excited about. Unfortunately my brother has his little friends over and I'm prohibited from playing drums until tomorrow. Oh well, guess I'll just have to play a shit-load of drums tomorrow XD. Sean's probably coming over to jam, or something like that. That'll be good.

I also picked up Pokemon Heart Gold today, which I'm also very excited about. I started this evening and it looks pretty good. I think I'll enjoy it a lot (if I'm not as lazy as I am with many of the video games that I play).

I have to decide what exactly I want to do over this weekend. I want to get together with both the Seans and some other people as well. Too bad Trey isn't here to join in on the fun, but I'm sure he's having a good time on his RV trip.

I've been going to the gym on a pretty regular basis lately, and I'm impressed with my lack of laziness in the exercise category. I wasn't able to go today because I had to play Taxi service unfortunately, but I'm gonna go tomorrow or Sunday for sure. Don't wanna lose all this muscle I've been gaining over the past couple months.

I'm actually quite tired this evening. It's too early for me to be tired haha. It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. Coco really wanted to sleep in my bed last night, so I let her, and unfortunately she takes up a lot of room haha, so I felt real scrunched. Kept waking up in the middle of the night. Note to self: do not let doggy sleep in bed. Check. It's probably those damn puppy dog eyes.

Anyways, I'm gonna get going. I'll be back soon I'm sure.
