Long time, no See

it has been far too long, i know. whenever i think i'm going to sit down and write a blog, something comes up... a rockets game, a call of duty from call of duty: world at war on my xbox, a new office episode, school... where's all my time going? anyways, enough excuses, i'm back so let's do this, shall we?

starting with the most recent stuff, spring break 2009 (whoo-hoo!) is now dead and gone (aww...). and what a productive week it was, playing video games... and umm, yeaaahh. playing video games. oh, and the madness, march madness that is, has begun, and i'm keeping up to date with that stuff. unc taking the title would be great. other than that, not much of an exciting spring break.

in other news, my laptop is finally dead. the toshiba i got summer entering freshman year has now gone the way of HD DVD's. being the most prepared person in the world, i, of course, had not backed up any of my stuff onto an external hard drive. therefore, i had to go through this painful process of trying to turn on my comp and keep it on long enough for me to transfer my files onto a hard drive... that sounded kinda dirty. anyways, good ol' tosh gave me four solid years of performance and it kills me to see it go the way of old yeller... yes, i am going to shoot it. just kidding.

what else, what else... OH! so, naturally being the 22-year old individual i am, i went to a 1-year old's birthday party. ok ok, i was forced to keep my mom company since it was a family friend or whatever. anyways, the party was at this school classroom and there was a magician, and balloon animals, face painting, CAPRI SUNS, and a cotton candy machine!!! oh man, when life was simple. crazy to think that at a point in time, that stuff made me happy, although the three exclamation marks after "cotton candy machine" kinda make me rethink that. anyways, i had a good time and cracked up when i saw this picture in the classroom:

isn't that hilarious? poor Lamiah... you know what? if i sat next to the goody two-shoes in class, in this case, Sitara, i wouldn't want to get any good behavior stickers either. i'd probably be making fun of them as much as possible which is why you probably don't have any stickers, pal. oh, those days where stickers were our number one motivation and not a career or family or anything like that...

anyways, there's other stuff i want to talk about... quick interjection: i say "anyways" a lot... but it escapes me right now. probably because i've procrastinated all my school work until tonight like the 99.999% of my fellow college peers. back to the grind... just a few more weeks left!

thanks for reading! feels good to be back.
