Man it has been a long time. I wonder if anyone i know still sees this?

I'm not entirely sure i want anyone i know to see this, there is a certain comfort in the annominity of internet confession. the only real people who might see this are robert and annan.

robert lives down the hall. it would be good to see annan again.

there are other certain comforts in my own ramblings. refusing to adhere to any specific, or even vauge topic is somewhat liberating.

the other day i seriously contemplated ramming my car into a tree. not because i wanted to die, quite the opposite in fact. I want to live like those i admire. especially those whom are fictional. I don't really have a problem admiring fictional people, really what one admires is the idea that person (real or fictional) embodies. However, if i do admire and covet these traits, would i not seek to emulate them? Perhaps they are to taxing to emulate, so, lazily i ogle them from afar...

an interesting thought, perhaps it is relevent, perhaps it is not.

I have found myself strongly attracted to sites that poffer forth annoymous internet confessions such as postsecret and grouphug.us

i wonder if this is a symptom, or a mechanism for dealing with this. perhaps it is neither.

i wonder if i'll do somthing productive tommorow. i hope it's class.

How many boards would the mongols hoard....

Today is the first day that robert is gone from the apartment on his trip to the land of bad dental care and knickers. It's appropriate that last night i dreamed of being in halo wtih robert, as that is somthing that we both play alot, usually together. So the first thing i thought when i woke up was, "i know, lets play some halo". but alas, robert is gone. and there is no one of equal halo playing skill, especially skill concerning squad based tactics in halo.

so last night was the farewell robert krunkfest 03. lots of us were very krunk. or drunk. whichever you choose. It wasn't the best going away party ever but then again i knew it wouldn't be. it's difficult to try to squeeze in as much fun as you can because you know someone is going to be gone for a while the next day, when you live with them, and have lived with them for so long. it's odd when they aren't there the next day. If amanda wasn't out of town, i'd be at home alone all day long, and that would just be a tragady.

so i have spent the day watching hellsing. i will wish robert good luck with his trip. good luck robert, i hope you have fun, and learn.

don't get sars god damnnit.

so board that i have to post

2003-04-06T05:09:02Z

good lord this weekend sucks. i don't even know why. there's plenty of stuff to do, i just have no drive to go to them. in fact, i don't want to go to them. Even when they're just downstairs.

if i had pain pills i'd totally be popping them.

arg...

this is where the subject goes

2003-02-20T17:58:14Z

whats up LJ folks? not much is up with me. i'm still around doing this and that. decided the other day that my majors are actually the ones that i'm interested now, so i can stop jumping around and get some serious credit hours in.

i'm in the mood to try new things out now. in the spirit of this i think i'm going to go purchase the sim online and i'm thinking about trying out dance dance revolution. i know , i know....DDR is not particularly "cool" or even "hip" but i like to dance so it's only logical.

now, on to the important stuff.

i'm going to visit robert and billy over the summer when they are in england. that will be ok. i'll get to wander around london, similarly ok. i'll get to visit amsterdam, good. I WILL SEE SCOOTER LIVE!!! RAHHHHH! man i can't wait.

So....

2003-01-29T21:30:17Z

There is a rooster who lives in our parking lot. He sleeps in the trees of the area and then he craps all over our cars. It took us awhile to figure out exactly what was happening but now we know. Yesterday we disloged the rooster from a tree with a tennis ball and beer can and subsequently drove him off. He's probably back but i though i'd just update you guys of the situation.

broughaha

2003-01-14T21:43:38Z

isn't that word great. we're having a big "broughaha" tonight, or perhaps shindig or hullabaloo if you perfer. i'm never sure just what to call them. the party is for our homies eric and nikki who sadly are leaving us this weekend.

i'm still in school and this semester i have high hopes, because most of my classes are in my major, so i like going to them. and in addition to my regular classes i also have music appreciation. it rocks. remember when you were a kid, and you'd wake up saturday morning and want to roll over, but saturday morning cartoons were on and you NEEDED to watch them? music app is a little like that. thats how much it rocks. it rocks like saturday morning cartoons.

this site is my favorite on the internet. watch closely as i plug it. PLUG

i finally went to a rave

2002-11-06T02:59:50Z

it was a lightswitch rave. pretty cool man.

the other day i was driving home at like 1 in the morning. you can see you strange things at 1 in the morning. i saw, a cow, a dude chasing the cow, three police cars also chasing the cow. the cow running like the ghost of McDonalds past is hot on it's tail. pretty neat

i have a new major. it's actually one of dem der double majors. i'm now in the college of liberal arts. i am a student of philosophy and anthropology. pretty exciting. most of you probably think not, but i decided that if i'm going to be remotly successful in life i need to do what i like. i do not like chemistry.

APT Logic

1. Colin didn't vote.
2. Colin is WAY more handsome and smart than me.

therefore: Colin is a Nazi.

if anyone is unclear on this you can come talk to me or call or even e-mail. it may seem a little confusing at first and for those of you who are new in dealing with APT logic it may even seem like a totally invailid argument. there are several "Understood" premises that are not mentioned.

(1.) APT people who aren't colin are totally lame.
(2.) they are also a tad silly.

it's important for the reader to realize that i often have no idea what i'm talking about.

mmmm....techno

2002-10-22T05:20:00Z

damn i love this stuff. it's great. really.

robert and co. saw THE RING, word on the street is it's pretty excitng. everyone came back raving about it, i find that irritating. whenever anyone really loves somthing i just naturally hate it, you know to even things out. i think i might just give this ring thing a chance though. i do not think my hating habit is bad nor am i renounceing it. i merely think that i will give it a try.

at erins behest i looked at molly's LJ. i was sceptical at first but then i saw the phrase "rocked my face off". that about sold it for me.

lately the urge to go to a rave has been welling up inside me. it's not an entirely unpleasent feeling but i really would like to get some RELEASE, you know what i mean? some RELIEF from all this PRESSURE.....so yeah. anyone willing to help a brother out? you see, though i love techno, i don't know where to look to find out where raves and such are. it's really a little embarassing.

i made somthing. i belive the foolish would call it art. it largely consists of playing cards glued to black poster board. they tell a love story. it's very crappy, but i like it. i think i'm going to post it on deviant art or somthing. it's a site i go too, i would recomend it to anyone who is looking for amature art. www.deviantart.com very exciting.

so yeah. also, i worked two hours the other day at the vet school. i nearly died twice. once by massive steam wave the other by chemicals that dissolve the gloves. the warning for the latter was

boss: careful, it's organic
colin: ok
boss: that means it can go through lipids
colin: roger
boss: your skin is made of lipids
colin: ...
boss: alright here we go (we were pouring it out of a huge metal drum into a beaker)
colin: how about some gloves or something?
boss: naw, it dissolves the gloves
colin: ...
boss: just don't spill any
colin: ...hey, it's just like seatbelts "just don't crash"
boss: thats not funny
colin: ...

so hey! i'm going to die! isn't that SUPER

Well, it was about that time that i noticed that this "girl scout"...

2002-10-15T17:16:07Z

was an eight story tall crustation from the paleozoic era. And i said, "DAMNNIT MONSTER! I AIN'T GOT NO TREE-FIFTY, GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN!"

that is so damn funny, it makes me crap my pants.

I have a nasty habit of overwatering my plants, i tend to make a mess. the water often times spills over. i would like to stop but i like watering them so much, it's like the only active thing i do to keep them alive. i just want to be loved thats all.

i redecorated my little computer grotto, it's pretty cool now. i got all sorts of pictures up and shit. it's dandy even. makes me feel right at home.

i'm desperately clawing for somthing that is of even midling interest to the like 4 of you who might see this. i am drawing a blank at the moment. most unfortunate. i stopped by the dorm briefly last night. largly uneventful, excepting the comic stylings of TC the whole thing would have been sortof a bust.

i was riding home in my car a little while ago, and guess what i heard. the news, by ODIE. it was fantastic. he did such a good job that i called into the wegal and told them so. so perhaps odie will see this. i cleverly disguised my voice to sound like that of a female. so he might have been thrown, though i don't think it was him who picked up the phone. a pity.

i watched escaflowne. to borrow from a favorite writer of mine, the number of huge robot sword fights is directly proportional to the curviture of my smile. i was satisfied.

i have a job now. i clean bloody untensils at the vet school. it's a little nasty but it beats what i did at the vet school last time it employed me, where i bloodied those untensils. i like wash dishes and shit for like 2 hours a day. pretty exciting stuff.

thats all i got, i know i know. it's sad, just remember that i love you very much, and it won't always be this way.

He's so dreamy

2002-10-04T17:44:59Z

you know who's a badass? George Bernard Shaw. that man is so damn cynical that i admire the hell out of him. he's so damn funny. i was looking at some of his quotes (you see, i'm a quote whore) and they are great. simply fantastic. since your uncle colin loves so VERY much, i'll share a few with you.

You are going to let the fear of poverty govern you life and your reward will be that you will eat, but you will not live.
George Bernard Shaw

i call that one the "melissa quote". if you don't know why, then don't ask. or you can ask, i'll probably ansawer you.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
George Bernard Shaw

The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one.
George Bernard Shaw

I often quote myself. It adds spice to my conversation.
George Bernard Shaw

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.
George Bernard Shaw

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.
George Bernard Shaw

thats wisdom if i ever heard it. sorry for bombarding you with all those quotes. i promise i won't do it anymore. really.

you may or may not know that there is a ton of hunch punch on the floor of my kitchen. everytime i see it i cringe. such a wicked substance should not be allowed in my home, or even to exist. i despise that liquid so very very much. i don't think i can express my hatred of it give the words that the english language has offered me. so i will make up a word for it. disgustnastvomigrosterds. thats close, but still not there. it is however, all that i can put for at this moment.

2002-09-27T02:25:13Z

When i drive to school in the morning i drive down wire road past the vetschool and then past frat row. it is always congested in the morning and often times cars are very very close together. big deal, yeah? but in order to go strait at the next light one can only be in the right lane, the left lane is forced to turn left. one must go straight in order to get to open C-zone parking. and always every morning there are people who fly down the left lane in excess of 20 miles over the speed limit and then cut in line so they can still go straight. i often times try to thwart those who try to cut infront of my by shrinking the space between me and other cars and somtimes it pays off with satisfactory results. but often times it is I who is thwarted.

the other day some FOOL tried to bust up in front of me. i was at the head of the line you see and he was starting very far back. he must have passed 15 cars and was probably feeling very good about himself (or so i'd like to imagine) i however sped up. he could have fit in behind me quite easily, there was a good 45 feet between me and the car behind me. but he didn't (as i'm sure you all guessed). so i matched his speed most of the way to the light. he could not get over because i was being a DICK about it and accelerated with him perfectly. i could almost feel the tension rising in him as he realized exactly what was happening, especially because at 65 miles an hour the light was comming up very quickly indeed. we both started slowing at the same pace, despite his now alarming situation he STILL refused to get behind me. so we are nearing the last 40 feet of our race and i am nearing my victory, my sweet sweet victory over not just all the assholes who do that, but their KING! as i revel in this i slowly realize that I always take a right here because thats the way i go to get to my (sweeter) parking area. so now I am faced with a choice. i am gonig to be late if i stay in the now middle lane, but if i go right like usual then HE gets in. as i'm nearing the last 15 feet of this EPIC battle of good and evil my mind is racing. what do i do? tardy vs. VICTORY. what do i do?

i turned right, i'm a pussy who has a mean teacher. so now i bide my time, for i RUE that choice. and one day, one day i WILL have my vengence. one day.

GO GO CACTUS MAN

2002-09-16T04:08:38Z

Trigger happy TV is the funniest show ever. period. Just thought i'd get that out of the way. it's alot like crack i'd imagine. watch it, thurs. at 9:30c.

i was dicking around on the web, as i often do, and i came across some interesting things. i often do becouse that is my reason for dicking. but this time i'd thought i'd share with you what i found, instead of hoarding it away for my own personal entertainment.

first up is this. http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2002/09/11/forbidden_letters/index.html
this was certainly one of the most interesting things that i've read in a long time. sort of feeds the darker side of everyones personality. no shame in succuming too it, everyones got one. mines just well developed is all.
My personal favorite was the one about the jelous EMT. and the dude talking about his dad that he hates.

next up is this http://sixsixfive.com/
it's like some dudes got together and decided to find 665 things that were interesing. and most of the time they are. either stories or pictures or really just about anything. very entertaining, especially if your feeling artsy or some shit like that.

On a quick personal note, i have found a veritalbe, stay with me now, "ass-ton" of techno that i like. alot of it is dance, some is european, but over the last 5 days my collection has swelled by like 70 songs. it brings a tear to my eye. I reccomend that EVERYONE who reads this go download Daddy Dj. he's only got one song, titled Daddy Dj. Get it. listen to it when your sad. or when your happy. it will pick you up out the gutter when your sad and whip you into a dancing frenzy when happy.

then watch Trigger happy TV.

I AM KING

2002-09-10T05:25:50Z

i am over a certain somebody

over, done. period. it feels great, i'm high on.....life. thats weird, an interesting change to be sure. i just went out into the woods and talked to myself and now i'm done. it worked, i'm over her. i am soooooooooooooooo happy! this is great, i haven't felt this way since highschool. i still feel awkward around her, but the DESIRE is gone, she's a different person. over with. in the past, this is great. fantastic.

the best part, i just used words like "great" and "fantastic" SINCERLY. crazy man.

other news. nothing. been going to the gym, it's cool. i'm trying to get anothe fork on my bike so i can take advantage of the fall season out on the trail. i'm also thinking of trying to start tae kwon do again. i have the time certainly, i just have to find the money.

ahh... i am revitalized. i smiled all yesterday.

That's the secret to life... replace one worry with another....

2002-09-07T23:00:18Z

thats a quote by Charles M. Schulz. he was a very wise man. things are going along nicely in my quest to simultaniously learn how to use photoshop and learn how to mix music. i'm really just looking for a hardcore creative outlet. i haven't had my special pick me up "tobacco" in quite some time, it makes me very very sad. i could use some right now.

in other news andrew might have run into a very serious problem, i won't go into detail here but lets just say you all should wish him luck. or at least express well wishes.

also melissa now has a boyfriend. it is that ed fellow. now i realize that i might be slightly biased against him but i do not like him. I DO NOT LIKE HIM. he looks very much to be a bad person. i've heard stories at the theatre of his "playa" conquests and i do belive that melissa is going to get hurt. but there is nothing that we as her friends can do but stand by idlely and do nothing. that irritates me very, very badly. i would dismiss this as another form of my mild "problems" but i am not alone in this prediction, many of my friends are as well, including the highly respectable opinion of eric.

yeah, so i'm pissed.

RAR!

People come and go, to a persons ebb and flow

2002-09-02T20:43:58Z

good lord almighty i was drunk on saturday.

now that thats out of the way, how are you guys, good? thats super. really.
things have been going along here at the apartment, all of our friends from away colleges have left. it is lonely here now. but they all seem to be doing fine in their respective colleges.

earlier today we about had a brawl going on downstairs. andrew and i were discussing it and we belive that an eventual fight is inevitable. i think that we are going to have one good beatdown in here before we all leave. we picked either andru and rob or robert and me as potential fights but i can see all the combinations happening fairly easily. i don't think that andru and i would fight, though i belive that one would be the most interesting.

we haven't seen melissa for over 30 consecutive minutes in like 2 weeks. DESPITE constant efforts to get her attention we have been unable to get ahold of her. perhaps this is becouse i'm doing the calling but still, thats just plain rude. as billy so succinctly put it "can you feel the hate?". so we decide that if we still don't see her in a few more days, she gets downgraded to aquaintence. i don't want too but i might have too.

i've been on this fun little eminem kick lately. i don't know why but it seems like his music is more fun to listen too or somthing like that. regardless, i'm enjoying myself.

i want to get a little MP3 player or somthing so i can stop makeing little mix tapes. they involve me creating a CD out of my MP3s and then recording a tape off that CD. i've taken a liking to walking around with headphones on and the MP3 player would greatly facilitate that. only problem is that they cost like $150. i have like $2.

you know, it's been a long time since i SAW 9:00 a.m.

2002-08-19T20:14:14Z

much less moved during it

first day of school, delightful. of course i only had one class today and parking was, how you say, "a biatch". indeed i have found my most vile of off campus living advasaries. i think i'm going to go get my bike at home so i can ride it to school instead of dealing with TRAFFICAS, vile demon of road congestion.

lately i've been on this crazy wild rollorcoaster of emotions, hell if i throw some drugs in there i can create a whole fucking new reality to live in. wouldn't that be interesting?

i met the new freshmen that is apparently "hot stuff" over at the dorm. he's friendly, though i am ALWAYS skeptical of people who wear jean shorts. i hope IAN and PHIL are cool and take HIM and make HIM cool as well. or they could abandon him to thomas, and earn a few days in purgatory.

i played back yard football at kiesl park yesterday. towards the end of our game it started pouring rain monsoon style. THAT was a fun football game.

my parents came over to see the apartment today. i had no prior notice in which to remove things that my parents might find unfitting of a healthy young christian like myself. a very interesting afternoon to be sure. the best part was my moms utter suprise

mom: colin, as long as you don't abuse the alchohal it's fine
colin: umm yeah...
mom: good so now....is that gin?
colin:.......yeah..
mom: GIN! you drink gin!
colin:......well one does what one must...

I'm slowly losing my mind

2002-08-03T15:49:51Z

aparently a deep seated problem that i thought i could deal with has finally surfaced and it would appear that can in fact NOT deal with it.

i woke up today gasping a panting from a nightmare. i'll refrain from telling any details of my nightmare sufice to say it involved people from my social circle. people who are in atlanta right now.

it's been in the back of my mind for a long time now but this is fucked up. i woke up a wreck today. i still am a wreck. i was so unwired this morning that i got out of bed and went downstairs and took a shot of vodka. it isn't helping as much as i'd like it too.

How long is a Terrasecond...

2002-08-03T08:39:17Z

Sup folks, how's everyone? good? glad to hear it.

i went to savanna, i went with $45 and came back wit $7 and ian shaefer. a good deal, perhaps. it was cool. savannah is a nice town, lots of old stuff their including an old sign for marijuanna awareness. it called MJ the smoke of hell. i thought that was really funny.

lately i've had this tiny underlying feeling. i can't describe it except its sortof like when you wake up after a particularly involved dream and somthing is nagging you about it that you can't remember. speaking of which i've been having some really messed up dreams lately which i will not go into detail about, becouse lets face it, you don't care. i don't blame you. i wouldnt either were our roles reversed.

i think i'm going to try to make a serious effort to learn how to draw in the next couple of weeks. if i hold myself to a scheduale of some kind i should at least make a little progress. in addition to that thought i've also been poking around with photoshop and a music splicing program. so maybe i'll aquire some skill with one of those things. perhaps.

And a bag of Chips

2002-07-22T02:57:54Z

Today started out not very fun. i couldn't even play my game becouse i beat it, the only setting left is like captain insano hard. it whoops my shit. so anyway, i'm plugging away and then my good buddy the Don calls me up and is like "hey, remember how we talked about going to the park?" and i was like "yeah" then he replied "then lets go". so my afternoon was occupied with oh so entertaining back yard football.

it was me rob and andru vs. mo eric and robert. they lost hard core. and mo cut her toe somthing fierce. it was prett nasty. lots of people out there lacked the forsight to wear tennis shoes and had to play in bare feet. not a cool thing for them. though in the end, mo is ok, and we get to go play football some more.

lately at the ol' apartmento things ahve been getting pretty pathetic. most of the time the folks here don't even participate in the drinking. people just show up, get trashed, trash our place, then leave. the evening is highlighted by several things.

the first is the other day cynthia got rip roaring drunk. some of us got tired of drinking at our place (some of us weren't even drinking) and so we went to a party that elyane was throwing. FORTUNATLY tj thought that it would be a good idea to bring cynthia to this party. she got so trashed there that she was actually asked to leave (her options where "get up and go home, or get up and go to the hosbital). eric was especially pissed becouse she was quite embarrasing and they all asked him what her problem was.

the next day she tried to "impress" us by saying that "oh, she was MUCH more drunken at beer bike". we were like "get the fuck out our house" but we said "oh". she did write some pretty imbicilic phrases all over our living room box so for what thats worth she's all the more gay.

in addition, billy spilled sangria all over the floor and nikki (somers) becomes the most obnoxious and mind numbingly stupid person that i have ever had the misfortune of being in a conversation with when she is drunk.

did i mention that i hate cynthia. if i'm especially lucky tj will bring her over tonight.

i can't wait.

A Dangerous Pastime

2002-07-18T23:14:21Z

Lately i've been thinking. i was thinking back on my highschool years and also my freshmen year in college. i did this becouse i've been feeling bad for the last two days. not sick, but not depressed. it's really quite strange i'm not sure what to do or think about it. my typical methoed for dealing with anyting that i can't over power or ignore is nonchalance. it is currently not working. anyway, i was thinking and rooting through some old pictures and i realized that i can't think of a time off the top of my head when i was nice to melissa for an extended period of time.

this bothers me since, though simplistic and somewhat irritating she is overall a pretty good person. so i think back to the time that i was meanest to her and it comes to me that most of the time it stemmed from my inability to control my irritation with her smaller (almost insignificant) faults.

Now that revelation bothered me. the way things have been around here lately the fewer grivious faults that my social circle displays the better. Boy that opens a whole new basket of snakes...

Regardless, what exactly does one do to make that up to a person? i thought long a hard on it and i disregarded the long apology (i've already apologized once) and i don't think that a gift of either somthing i buy or create is appropriate. As is i'm looking down the long road of redemption of just being around and being nice.

It made me think of the way people go about changing themselves, conciously or otherwise. eric and i actually had a very interesting discussion about our friends last night and it seems that we've come to alot of the same conclusions. though i find that mildly disturbing that we share so many of the same predictions for our friends (they are not good on the whole) it was refreshing to know that i was not the only one to sense this forboding.

i just felt that i had to write out my thoughts, sortof to get them organized and this seems like as good a place as any.

a finer palate

2002-07-17T02:56:34Z

Once upon a time a game called Neverwinter Nights wandered into my home. it subsequently found it's way to my room and then computer. afterwords we spent LOTS of time together. simply great friends, we ran around, killed rioting prisoners and just had a good run of things.

then one day warcraft III came to my home, sat NWN down and had a talk with it. it made NWN understand with crystal clarity that i was in fact IT'S bitch. no two ways about it.

it's sortof interesting how somthing can just come into one's life and suck up so much free time for so long. i mean it's not just games. it can be books or women perhaps some music. whenever i stop to think about it i always get the subtle feeling that i'm somehow defective in that. then i think of the people i live with, or used to live with. then i smile and drink a beer.

my waiter was an asshole

2002-07-15T01:45:11Z

i just got back from the beach, we ate at a fancy restaurant, my waiter was an asshole.

you ever ponder the mysteries of the universe with someone on the beach who you don't know while thoughly inebriated? i haven't either, but if you change "someone you don't know" to "andrew" then yes, yes i have. some weird shit comes up when you are trashed man, like you get a little uncomfortable becouse you think aliens might be watching you or you roll a trashcan into the ocean and don't remember it.

actually on the beach i just sat down with some equally drunk dude and had a conversation. the interesting part is that i didn't know him at all and in fact we never even exchanged names. he was a pretty cool guy.

i have also found that my alchohal tolerance has ascended to an intolerably high level. i am quite displeased with my current state.

on the car ride home, we did some pretty funny stuff. myself robert and andrew and billy were riding in the rav and we were riding in caravan with nikki, obi, rob and eric. at one point in time billy hung out the window and sprayed shaving cream all over their car, it was really funny. we also hit them (their winshield) with a burrito, also qutie humorous.

remember that asshole waiter, yeah we stole a shit ton of silverware for the apartment, and it's nice stuff too.
