New Shocking Discovery

It 's that time again. You can't see the floor of your room. You were putting it off because you were so busy this week. But now it is the weekend and your excuses are gone. The desire still isn't there though. Science may have the answer. There has been a new discovery that suggests there might be food that you should eat before you clean your room. It will give you the energy you need to pick up your laundry as well as making the bed. That isn't all it does, it also gives you the desire to clean your room. What is this miracle meal? Sweet and Sour Chicken and maybe some other stuff. Not only a tasty meal, but a productive one. Everyone should try this meal.

So...

Today is an important day...

More so than any other day in October. Jax and I have been dating for eight months today. It has really been a wonderful time. It is crazy to think of all the stuff that has happened between now and the day we started. I feel like I have grown so much as a person because of her. Not just in these past eight months, but the entire time I have known her. Having her as my superest dooperest bestest friend has affected me for the better. I am looking forward to what our relationship holds for us in the future. People always ask me, after I talk about her to them for the first time, or the fiftieth, if I am going to marry her. I could honestly see that happening. I look forward to the days when I am not so far away from her. When I am close enough that I can see her more than every 4 months. Soon. But never soon enough.

Speaking of visits though. Her's is coming up soon. I am so excited to have her down her. Just to have her in the same state as me is going to be great. But to finally be able to introduce her to all of my friends and family is going to be amazing. It is going to be the best.

That is really all for now. I am filled to the brim with happy feelings. GAH. So much love. Have a great day Internet.

Repo - The Genetic Opera

Last night I had a date night with my girlfriend, Jacquelynn, Jax for short.. Our date nights consist of us staying in, getting on skype, and talking to each other while watching a movie and/or tv show, playing some games,  talking, and/or other stuff. It's a good time. I greatly enjoy our date night because they seem special compared to what we do most nights. Even if it still all revolves around skype. Last night, Jax picked the movie, as she generally does. (She is a bit more picky than I am. I pick every once in a random blue moon maybe.) She picked Repo - The Genetic Opera. She had heard many great things about it, plus it was about to go off of netflix instant streaming. (trying to be spoiler free) So, "roll film".

I am greatly disappointed in this movie. I really didn't like it at all. I think the concept of the film was interesting. I heard one person say that they tried to focus on too many things with genetics, drug addiction, and organ trafficking. While 90 minutes is a bit short to try to do all this, that didn't really seem to be the problem with me. I feel the author was showing the destruction of two family with a similar dark past. These are all important elements that play into their demise. The big thing for me was the dialogue. Spoken it was alright. Nothing special. But the songs were terrible. Most of the songs seemed to just be regular conversations that were now sung and maybe repeated a bit more. That bothers me. I'm not an expert on musicals at all, but, when a conversation is turned into a song, it shouldn't feel like a conversation with music laid behind it. You can take some liberties, make it more interesting, have more emotion behind it.

Speaking of emotion, I had none from this movie. I am an emotional guy...I cry a good bit. Things make me sad. I couldn't really connect with anyone in this movie, none of their plights mattered to me. They just seemed to make bad decisions for NO reason at all. I'm not talking about bad horror movie type decisions where you know you would never walk up to the creepy crying child in a back alley. Not that kind of bad. bad where you just don't understand why they just did that. A girl runs away from an offered cure to her sickness to then run back to get the cure...What? The singing didn't help. There were a few powerful notes in the play. Most moments where they could have them just fell flat. It made me sad...Well, actually it made me feel nothing. Which made me sad. The one character that made me feel was a grave robber who was barely in the film.

I am also still not entirely sure what the point of the movie was. Some people died and those people had a shared past of anger and hatred. But...there just didn't seem to really be a real reason for why things happened. The catalyst was uninviting, or at least ill explained. The scenes they were trying to explain things were just random and mostly unhelpful.

All in all, a pretty bad movie. I am glad I watched it though. Which may seem weird. I like movies. And I have seen worse

Miss Glass

What's up internet. One of my favorite online "personalities" uses that a lot. Jack Pattillo from Achievement Hunter/ Roosterteeth. I love them. Click!

Anyway, onto the real reason that I decided to post a blog post today. And just to let everyone know, this is going to be a post about my girlfriend. So it will probably be pretty sappy. So if you don't want that, don't read past....NOW. No, NOW! I am having fun at least.

I have been dating Jacquelynn for seven months. Seven months. That is really nothing at all if you think about it. Especially in the, hopefully, years that I will be spending with her. BUT it is still a pretty decent amount of time to be with someone. It's crazy how much you can experience in seven months. And all that experience has made me love her so much more. She is pretty perfect for me. I can't think of anyone else that I would want to be with. I don't just mean people I know. I am talking about in my imagination as well. I can't think of a single damn thing I would change about her. Don't get me wrong, there are time when some of the traits about her annoy me. BUT they are also some of my most beloved things about her. I couldn't dream of anything better.

Side note, if my words suck or start to suck horribly. I am a little tired. My brain doesn't want to function correctly. Also, I haven't eaten today...But don't tell her. She will be mad at me. I will get food soon though. I only work until one.

Speaking of that gorgeous girlfriend of mine, who is currently texting me during her break, she is coming to North Carolina soon. I can't tell you how excited I am. I have only spent a week in person whith her so far. And it neeeeeds to be more. Novermber 17th can't get here fast enough. We don't really have that many plans, seeing as our last trip was so action packed, we are trying to make this one more relaxed. And not as expensive. Lots of laying around, lots of netflix and video games, and nothing too crazy. We do have a few things that we need to do, however. First of all, she needs to meet some Boone people. My roommates, Josh and David, are musts. She also has to meet Jay. The rest are really just bonuses. JC, Zach, Jeremy, Broyhill people. They would be cool, but they aren't necessary.  Then there are the very important Kernersville people. Of my family she needs to meet My brother, father, mother, and grandmother. She was at one time going to meet almost my entire family at Thanksgiving, but plans have changed. So now just those 4. Also in Kernersville, Matt & Lulu, Sam, Ryan & Kayleigh. Those are the important people. There are some extras that would be nice. Walter & Lucky, any other member of my family. They would be nice. But it is not needed.

Speaking of people in K-Vegas. Jessica lives there. Being Thanksgiving and all, she is likely to be home. What if we run into her? How crazy would that be. I haven't seen her any of the times I have been home, but it is possible. I would to know how she would react though. Hmm.

The last thing that we HAVE to do while she is home, is Thanksgiving dinner. For the first time ever, my family is doing it's own Thanksgiving. My extended family usually has it as a whole, and still are I believe. This year, it is just going to be five people. Jacquelynn is very happy about this change. She was very nervous about the dinner. NOW everything is going to be much better. We are going to have about 9 pies I think. It is going to be tasty.

Honestly I don't really know what else to write. So, in closing, I love my girlfriend, Jacquelynn Glass, with all my heart. I am so happy to be dating her. I can't wait for the many more blissful moths, years, decades, that I will have with her. November is close. Yay!

I am not really feeling inspired to write at the moment. I don't really have anything to say. And I am kinda just annoyed at the world. Eh...maybe tomorrow...

Spring Awakening

A few weeks ago I went to watch my friend Sam in a musical. I didn't blog about it then because, well, for one, I am a terrible blogger. I almost never blog when I should. I also was quite busy that night. So I forgot. I should have. It was amazing. Thankfully, I was reminded of how awesome it was thanks to "The Song of Purple Summer" coming on my iPod while I was doing a set up. Sam's show was amazing. It was much darker than the first one that I saw. It brought me to tears. I wasn't ready for it. I don't know if will ever have as much reaction to that play as I did tho this particular showing. Everyone there did a great job. I think I should have more. But my brain is tired. That happens a lot. It makes me feel like a busy man though. More post later probably.

Trim Tuesday

It's Tuesday! I am currently having a really hard time...with time. I didn't realize what day it was in august, It's Matt's birthday ! I really need to talk to him...He still doesn't know what happened when I went to Michigan. And he is privileged to more details than most! I am kinda dying wanting to tell someone allll of it! Hopefully soon. I also hope he has an awesome birthday. I am sure he will. His girlfriend is pretty awesome. 

Tuesday is also the day that I trim my beard. Set into place by the beautiful Jacquelynn. I wanted to trim it when i jumped in the shower earlier, but decided I would wait for Tuesday. While in the shower I realized it was Tuesday. AND that all my towels were in the washer and dryer. Except for a tiny hand towel. it did an admirable job, but it is off to the washer for it again. 

Speaking of washing. I have been doing laundry for the past two days. I have been in serious clean mode. I don't think my room has been this clean in many months. There is nothing out of place...or there wasn't last night. Now there is because I am washing my sheets, so a few things are still on the ground because of that. BUT once I get done with all my laundry, I will have it right as rain again. Having my room this clean reminds me of what little I own. My room echos. I am okay with this though. It makes it easier to move. Not that i move around often. But I plan on making a few moves in the coming year. Two really. To Chicago and back. 

My whole internship plan makes me really nervous. There is almost NO room for error. I want to live in Chicago. Which already limits my chances since some of the firms that recruit at my school are local. And if I don't make it, I would still really like an internship. But I would then be promised to them for 2 years. I don't know if I would mind that too much, But Jacquelynn might. My future, at the moment and hopefully for all moments in the future, is very connected to hers. Or at least I want it to be. We both have dreams of living near Chicago. I wouldn't want to make her abandon her dream. But I wouldn't want to lose her as well. When I think about it a lot. It scares me quite a bit. I pray that everything works out well. I am going to do my best to make all the firms like me. Then, hopefully, I will make it to Chicago. And grad school. It's a happy dream when it all works out.

TOPIC SHIFT! I am really looking forward to the new Madded game. I am not a huge football fan. I don't really watch any sports. Ever. I don't really have to free time to do all the stuff I want to do anyway. So sports watching never makes it up there. That being said, I do love playing Madden with my brother and company. It is one of the most fun experiences I have had on xbox live since the days where I played Gears of War every night. It stopped halfway through the year with Madden 12, thanks to TJ no longer having xbox live. BUT now 13 is coming out. I am very excited. I sold 5 games I was never going to play back to GameStop yesterday. I put it all towards the new madden, now I need less than 30 dollars to finish the purchase. That will be no problem at all! Especially since my next check is going to be pretty awesome. As will, hopefully, the check after that. the one for the next upcoming weeks will be amazing. I am excited about money. And with money comes easy plane tickets. And with that Comes Jacquelynn. The Best plan.

Tonight is going to be a fun night. After talking to Jacquelynn, If we do. She is sick and needs her sleepies. I am going to try to put her to bed earlier than usual. Anyway, after that I am going to play some Gears of War with my brother and Ryan. We are going to get our asses kicked. But it will be a lot of fun. I love that game. I don't really know what else I want to say today. I think I should try to blog more often. Remind me tomorrow Jacquelynn.
