| Considering over the course of these next two weeks, I have four finals and two papers and a project and presentation, now would not be the ideal time for me to resurrect this livejournal. However, I am really in no mood to study or do work. I don't really want to start talking about real things, not that I ever do. Additionally, I have been having some really crazy dreams this semester and I don't want to forget them.
Dream 1
Max, Chris and I are in The Real World tv show. Jennifer Anniston is also in this edition of the Real World. I don't recognize what city we are in. Furthermore, the house we live in doesn't seem to be located in an urban location; it seems pretty countryish. This is a pretty short dream. Not much happens. I think there is a picnic and some conversation is made. However, it seems like the bulk of this dream involves me washing dishes. There were so many dishes and they were coming out of nowhere. I felt like I was doing them for hours. | comments: Leave a comment   |

| this is the first update since school started. i am writing this from work. i have the best job ever, b-school lab consultant. i just sit here and go online and do my homework and help retarded people log into their email.
my life sucks, no seriously, it does. usually, when i say that, i only half mean. however, right now, my life actually sucks. i fell off my bike today. it was a moderately horrific accident, like i could have died, except i sustained no mortal injuries. my second toe on my right toe has no skin on it right now and various parts of my foot will not stop bleeding. my leg is also looking really bad. in any case, i would say that i deserve it, except it really hurts, so i don't. i also still contend that i am a good biker, despite what my current wounds and future scars say.
this bike injury is very bad for several reasons, aside from the intolerable pain. first of all, i probably will not be able to work out for at least a couple of weeks. i will soon be suffering elliptical withdrawl. also, i have to limp and hop one-footed everywhere. basically, i am a spectacle. if i weren't me, i would probably be laughing.
i am not very good at school.
i think my mom is going crazy/becoming an alcoholic. she drunk dialed me three times on saturday afternoon, the first call was a message that said, "eric, i am drunk but your dad says i am not, byyeeee." i then futily tried to talk to her, in which i tried to convey to her that i had completed a problem set earlier that afternoon, but she thought i said that i had problems to do, then that i had problems and then that i had a drinking problem. the last conversation that day involved her telling me the difference between a wine festival and strassenfest (a german festival) is that all the booths at a wine festivals have chandaliers.
today, she left a message on my phone saying that she would give a prize if i correctly answered where my dad was going on business tomorrow in three guesses. the choices were baltimore, philadelphia, and baltimore.
i am pretty sure that i have a sleeping problem, as in, i can't not do it, especially after lunch. today, or everyday that i have macro, i just could not stay awake. i really tried, i just couldn't do it. i think food makes me really tired. like really, really tired. one day last week, i was told to go to sleep after a particularly large dinner, and then i did.
i think i have developed a particularly annoying habit as of late. i just keep correcting people. initially, i just did it to antagonize one of my suitemates, however, i can no longer control it. it has gotten so bad that i have begun to correct sports commentators. it is a disease. if you comment, i will probably correct it.
my foot is still bleeding. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| i really like pineapple.
for the past week and a half i have been working on and off on my backyard fence. it was probably the least fun thing, ever. there are so many things that i realized or reacknowledged my hatred for; that is right, i am a hater. the first thing is the outdoors. i have no idea why they call it the great outdoors. they should really change it to the not great outdoors or shitty outdoors. there are so many bugs and other disgusting things. also, i hate lowe's department store. on tuesday, i had to get about a hundred pickets for the fence so i drove to the closest lowe's. i parked by the lubmer section, suspecting that pickets, being made of wood, would be in the lumber section. unfortunately, they were located in lawn and garden, which i suppose makes sense. the problem is, lawn and garden and lumber are located on opposite sides of the store. by the time i got there and saw the pickets, i realized there were not enough; there was only about fifteen. i then asked an employee to see if they had more somewhere else. he then gave me two other locations, one of them, which was very far, had about nine thousand pickets. they had nine thousand fucking pickets while the store i was at had fifteen. another location had about eighteen hundred. i then went to that location. but the guy gave me directions saying that it was on manchester about a mile east of clarkson and next to a best buy. well, there was a shopping center a mile east of clarkson which had a best buy, but they did not have a lowe's. i then called my mom to call that location for directions. she then called me back saying that store clerk said that it was actually eight miles east of clarkson. so i kept driving. it was not eight miles east of clarkson. luckily, i was only about three, so i actually had to drive less. when i got to the parking lot, i decided to park in front of the lawn and garden section. i went in to look for the pickets. of course, they were nowhere to be found. i asked one of the employees where i could find pickets. she looked at me like i was retarded. obviously, because the pickets were made of wood, they had to be located in lumber, on the other side of the store. so then i got the hundred pickets and then i went back to the other side of the parking lot to bring the car around so i could load all of them in.
congratulations lowe's you can now join church's chicken and ameren ue on the list. okay, i have typed enough on this subject, perhaps i will resume complaining about fence construction at a later time. on the other hand, you can now add master caprenter to my list of accolades.
calvin and hobbes is the best comic ever.
calvin: i should be doing my homework right now. but the way i look at it, playing in the snow is a lot more important. out here i'm learning skills that i can apply throughout the rest of my life.
hobbes: such as?
calvin: procrastinalizating and rationalizing.
i got a haircut yesterday, it is way too short.
i have laundry to do tomorrow. just a couple loads before i must use those stupid quarter machines.
i really want to read jose canseco's book.
for having over three and a half months of summer off for break, it has gone by pretty fast.
why does the weather always have to be hot or humid or rainy or a combination of them all?
i ordered a tempur pedic mattress pad today. i really cannot wait until it arrives.

| i really hate ameren ue. i had no electricity from 3.30 pm yesterday until 11.00 am today. electricity is one of those things that should never go out. it should be taken for granted, just like running water. not having it probably makes me more frustrated than being in traffic. one of the more annoying parts of this, aside from the obvious lack of electricity, was that the houses that i can see from my backyard had electricity. this makes no sense. how can they possibly have electricity and us not have electricity. even more annoying, this is not an uncommon occurance. ameren ue is definitely made it onto the list of business that i personally hate. this list currently includes chruch's chicken and others which i cannot think of at the moment.
basketball is great.
i went to sleep at nine o'clock last night. i woke up at 9.30 this morning. it was great.
the cardinals suck.
my car smells like lumber. i do not like the smell of lumber.
i was reading one of my dilbert comic books today. this is a strip with dogbert just thinking to himself...
maybe i should write a book.
nah...maybe i should just read a book.
maybe i'll just read the tv guide...
maybe i'll just watch whatever's on and turn into pudding...
my sentiments exactly.
i am very tired. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |
| ahhh, my last day here. and i thought i had nothing to do the last time i was here. aside from writing a few emails, i have not done a thing since i got here today.
the electricity in our house went out yesterday. there was no thunder, lightning or even rain. i guess it was partly cloudy, but that was it. i hate ameren ue. luckily, i was at home for a grand total of about two of those minutes.
blah, the end of my summer isn't going to be quite as i expected; i am just not sure about some things anymore.
i was looking around the house at all my stuff and i realized that aside from my clothes and my computer, i really haven't unpacked from the school year. it is weird to think that in just a couple of weeks i'll be moving it all back to school.
i was just thinking, in many tv shows, when a character has to give a speech or a presentation or something, another character will give them advice on how to ease their anxiety will give them some advice to the effect of 'imagine everybody in the audience is naked/or in their underwear'. this is so stupid. it makes absolutely no sense. where would someone even come up with that? i really cannot understand how lack of clothing could possibly make someone's speech any easier. actually, if there was a room full of naked people, i would imagine that the collective tension and nervousness in the room would actually be higher. whatever, that was a random thought. | | comments: Leave a comment |
| i am currently at the office right now. i am doing a part time internship at coca, a creative arts center. this is my second to last day. my supervisor is out of town and left me no work assigned. however, she did leave a note with other people that i am free to work on other projects. however, no one has come calling. hmmm, should i seek some work to do? well, i do have another two and a half hours to kill. nahhh.
i just finished reading the davinci code yesterday. it was not as good as i thought it would be. i have now read four books this summer. i am pretty sure that is a record.
the other day i was just browsing mtv and came across the dumbest show ever. has anyone ever seen the andy milonakas show? first of all, that guy looks like he is eleven years old. second of all, if he can have a show, why can’t i have a show? it is not like his life is particularly interesting. lastly, as i am watching the show, it just feels like my brain is dying.
another thing i have noticed from watching mtv is that i am pretty sure anyone can direct a rap video. every rap video is exactly the same. i am pretty sure if 50 cent came to me to direct his next rap video i could do it. all i would have to do is to procure some women with unrealistic measurements, a bartender, a few hundred thousand dollar cars, a few diamond studded crucifixes, and some random people to give the impression that they are dancing.
as you can tell, my recent life has been the peak of excitement, now that i have started seeing what is on mtv and reading books.
this hangnail is really quite annoying.
my practicum group met for five and a half hours yesterday. five and a half hours. i am not even on campus that much during the school year. i am pretty sure that I will have to be there around that long today also.
i have now not been to the y for three days and counting. i should go today.
it doesn’t even look like I am doing work right now. i am just sitting, not doing anything.
i am also really tired. i wonder what would happen if I just left.
i am hungry. i really want some junk food.
a lot of my sentences start with ‘i'.
time to go read (sports) news. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| i am not even going to talk about the weather.
i went to the dentist last week. he told me that i might have to get my bottom wisdom teeth removed. that would be uncool.
being a dentist is also a really easy job. they really don't do anything. all they do is just look at your teeth. my old did such little work. i just remember how he said that he would play golf three to four times a week. another equally easy job is orthodontist.
i really cannot think of anything more annoying than the hiccups. you just cannot stop them. you cannot prevent yourself from getting them. i am pretty sure there is nothing that you can do to make them go away. and as soon as they go away, they come right back. i will give somebody a dollar if they eradicate hicccups.
my car gets really really really bad gas mileage. i have to fill up twice a week. if i had to pay for gasoline, i would be broke.
i have yet to begin harry potter.
i still have my intermediate license. i need to get my really license within the next month because this one will expire. the only thing is, i am pretty sure that my eyesight has greatly deteriorated so i probably have to get new glasses before i can even go get my license. ugh.
i really want to go golfing. maybe if i didn't start to melt the moment i step outside...
we finally got an invsible fence for our dog. it is about time.
on another note, i really like feeding the dog skittles.
this laptop is making my leg very hot. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| today was a pretty good day.
i really didn't do anything.
i woke up a quarter 'til eleven.
i went to the y and lifted.
i watched the movie 'spellbound' about the spelling bee. it was actually pretty good.
i had sushi for dinner. i really like sushi.
i went back to the y and played two entire games of racquetball over the span of two hours.
recently, i have been looking at this one brochure they have had at the y called the 'babler beast' triathalon. it is a mini triathalon. at first it didn't seem so bad. 2.8 miles of running (not bad), 12.5 miles of biking (also not bad), 500 yards of swimming (i hate swimming). i don't think have really any swam laps since sixth or seventh grade. well, i tried swimming the 500 yards, and then i realized why i haven't swam laps for such a long time, because it sucks. i did wind up finishing the 500 yards. it will not say how long it took because that ranges somewhere between extremely embarassing and i should kill myself embarassing. i hate swimming.
i realized my dream by getting my seersucker pants.
random thought- last night my dad went shopping with my mom. he bought a striped pink polo shirt. i only bring this up because i remember when i came home from chinese new year wearing a pink polo shirt he told me to go to a gay bar. what a hypocrite.
i really like ice cream.
i really want a new racquet stinger. is anyone interested in purchasing a slightly used racquet stringer? | | comments: Leave a comment |

| seriously, how much does the weather suck?
i should really start reading harry potter.
on the subject of books, aryan and i should write one, just about stuff that we say. this book would include answers to the tough questions. for example, why are those weights called barbells? well, it is because in olden times people who were strong and lifted weights wanted everybody else to know just how strong they were. so the way they would let everybody else know how strong they were was by lifting bells. the bells were the weights which they attached to the bars, hence, bar-bells. this is just one of the insightful and profound gems that would be included in our book.
i am pretty sure that web gems on 'baseball tonight' is the best three minutes on televison.
recently, aryan and i have acquired a racquet stringer. having done four racquets in the past two weeks, i would say that i should quit school and everything and become a master racquet technician. but seriously, i am actually pretty good. so, if anybody needs a racquet strung, i can give you a good deal.
four-a-days are excellent.
i cannot believe there is only six weeks left until school starts.
i really want some seersucker pants and/or shorts. | | comments: Leave a comment |

| i do not plan on updating this daily. i am not going to flatter myself, my life is not nearly intersting enough to do that. however, due to overwhelming response to my last post, in the form of three comments, i suppose that i can squeeze out another post.
today was a relatively good but uneventful day. my definite highlight of the day had to be when i was on the way back from dropping my sister off at summer school at parkway north, which i have to do everyday, and i was on 141 right in front of central and there was a red light right in front the high school, meaning traffic could come out of the high school, and no one was coming out so i decided to make a right into the high school and instead of actually going in, i just came out the exit because i had the green light, and then i proceeded to leave all those suckers would had obeyed traffic laws in my (metaphorical) dust.
using periods for punctuation is so overrated.
after that, i watched sportscenter twice.
after that, i went to the y and lifted. i am so (not) ripped and buff. however, on occasions i do have a visible vein on my bicep. i was thinking, lifting is definitely probably one of those things that never gets easier because as soon as it starts to get easy, you have to increase the weight, or else you aren't getting any stronger. that must be what that one guy lifting the rock, sisyphus, felt like because i know that is what i feel like.
after that, i ate lunch and took a nap.
i ate an entire bag of bagel chips today. this was actually a close second to the traffic light thing.
my meeting for my practicum was cancelled tonight. when i received that email, i actually (with only myself in the room) made a fist pump and yelled out 'hell yes'. actually, it really wasn't a yell, but it makes it sound more dramatic. because my meeting was cancelled, i was able to go running earlier than usual. it was definitely warmer and more humid than i had anticipated. again, i hate the weather. i should have so started lifting, running and swimming when i was in high school, i would be in such amazing shape now. well, no not really because i don't feel like i am in any better shape than before i started. addtionally, all those things suck. okay, i rescind that statement, i am glad i did not do those things when i was in high school.
i started reading a book today. this is my second book of the summer. i think that will also read harry potter when it comes out on saturday. i am kind of ambivalent about reading. sometimes it's like, 'books??? i never read' but other times it's like 'books??? pssshhhh, who even reads anymore?' (me).
time to go watch the evening edition of sportscenter. | | comments: 1 comment or Leave a comment |

| i am not exactly sure why i am starting this up again, though i am pretty sure that no one will even notice it being started up again.
i don't feel like my life is anymore exciting that it has been anytime in the past seven months or so, actually, quite the opposite. i really do not do much anymore except work and work out. unfortunately, i really don't see results from either one of those either monetarily or in the form of getting in better shape.
i have pretty much given up on ever getting a six pack. it is pretty much impossible to get one. i really don't see how anyone can get one. you must have to sell your soul to get one.
real life sucks. i mean, i assume that along the job goodness scale, that my parents have relatively good jobs, but what they do really is not fun. not only is it just not fun,it sucks, and they have jobs which don't really suck. professional atheletes basically have the best job ever. they play a game for a living and are paid handsomely for it. not only that, the work they do when they are not playing is just working out, which is what other people do in their remaining free time.
i think my summer has somewhat hit a rut or has just finished with the good parts. june and the beginning of july was/will be the best part of summer. getting out of town is always good. and if getting out of town once is good, then three times is great.
i really haven't seen nearly enough of people this summer, but it is just so hard to coordinate stuff.
i really hate the weather in st. louis. i mean, aside from the allergies, i have nothing against st. louis, in fact, i kind of like it, but the weather... it is just so bad here. when i grow up i am definitely moving to a place that has either mild summers/winters/both.
traffic sucks. i really don't think there is anything more frustrating than going zero miles per hour on the highway.
on september 20th of last year, i posted that i beat four suit spider solitaire, since then i have beaten it 13+ times. basically, i could quite life now and still have succeeded.
