I need to drain my brain before I can
write this paper. I need to let go of everything that’s spinning me in
these concentric spirals, now that’s fun mental image now ain’t it?
I hate not being able to handle things, or i hate reaching a point
where no matter how good something may be it’s just too much, because i
can handle alot, but if it’s focused to a point it’ll cut right through.
So lets start this off wrong, naturally that’s how I tend to do things,
eh? No, no i’ll take that back and just be vague. My relationships
compeltely changed, i went through and I looked at who was important to
me and who wasn’t. And who i had a reciprocal frienship with, who i
could talk to and who i couldn’t, and I took my buddy list and
organized it so that the really important people were in one list and
my other good firends were on another list. Think three lists totaling
159 people (that i talk to) that i took down to those two lists with a
combined total 38 as of now. Now that’s one hell of a jump now isn’t
it? Like i said I completely reviewed that whole process of things.
Then you may, and probably should know that I was the president of the
ACM (Association for computing machinery) and now elections were coming
up and I didn’t think that I had anyone running against me, and
naturally I don’t check the website becuase a. I’m president, I
innately know what’s going on and B. i’m not the webperson so I don’t
handle it. Well little did I know that I had Kate running against me
and Andrew was running as VP. So kate ran as pres and had a speech and
did quite well and I had nothing and so yes, I’ve lost my club. my
baby, my pride and fucking joy. Oh well shit happens right? Fucking ay,
oh well now i’m “Secretary/Treasurer” there’s my kind of thing… yeah
right.
Now lets cap off this with the final really big change in my life. I’m
leaving my current job as Technician and Applying for and definately
getting a job as a SAL tech. This sucks in a way because I love my job,
i love the people, i have the coolest bosses anyone could ask for. I’ve
got near complete flexibiity with hours and just a great working
environment in general, but I don’t want to do tech support and
hardware/software troubleshooting for the rest of my life. I want to
write code, I want to write programs that make peoples lives easier, i
want to write code that manages thousands of people or systems and does
so flawlessly. So for as much as i’m going to hate leaving, i have to,
it’s just that time for me to move on. Haha, and on the shallow side
the $10 and hour is certainly going to help my monetary sitiuation even
more.
Hopefully i’ll manage to swing saving up that 15K by the time i’m out
of college, however If i manage 10K by the end of the summer, i’m
dropping 1.2k on a ticket to New Zeland, and then taking another 1K as
spending money and hotel money and whatnot. I figure i’ll take the
opportunity to look at jobs, areas to live, and all sorts of things,
lol and get some Kiwi pictures. But I want out of this Dead end United
States.
We’re going down the tubes so fast it scares the shit out of me, i’ve
been tempted to up and leave now, but the tech industry in where I was
looking (austrailia) was saturated to a frightening degree. It bothers
me that upping and leaving didn’t really bother me all too much. Now
however, There are certain people here who give me a great reason to
stay, haha or bring them with me, but I don’t think they could, i don’t
think they’re the up and leave type. Oh well, looks like when i move
i’ll be going it alone… am I suprised? Not one tiny bit.
I hate how I don’t really feel much better after all that. Oh well
maybe it’ll be enough. And now I leave you with some lyrics. Now Please
DO NOT READ INTO THESE LYRICS.
Girl, you look like you might be an angel
So I won’t lie
I could love you like the devil
if you wanted me to tonight
And we could talk about forever for a day or two
But I still got a lot of leavin’ left to do
Don’t bite off more than you can chew,
There’s things down here the devil himself wouldn’t do,
Just remember when you let it all go,
What happens in Mexico,
Stays in Mexico
But You’d really love to know
You’d really love to climb
Your way into my heart
And see what you could find
Youd’d walk into my skin
Swim through my veins
See it from my eyes
But it’s dangerous to try

| So Sunday was yet another cool day.
We woke up at 10:00 to the sound of Dom's phone ringing in the other
room so we headed over and got it and it was Jackie's parents. They
invited us over for dinner so we scheduled that for around 6:00.
We decided that we needed to go out for breakfast and we chose IHOP,
and Dom provided the directions. She did well too, the last time she
was there was the day that she got slasher, i do miss that cute liddle
thing.
Anywhoo so at IHOP the service sucked, the food was mediocre but all in
all it was just nice to sit and talk in a Dinerish environment, they
really need better diners by TCNJ if you ask me. I miss the hell out of
those places, maybe I'll own one when I get older, could be pretty cool
i guess.
We headed right out to bluestone after breakfast and hung around and
took pictures and played with the horses and the dogs. I really do love
like every animal ever.
Sprocket was there in a, hey lets love everyone sort of mood, haha he
even liked Dom while i was there, he's one of my fav liddle buddies.
After bluestone we went out for a drive then headed back to collect
jackie's stuff, on the way back we got one of the cutest pics of Abner.
I was driving and i just feel him lay his head on my shoulder, it was
definately a Kodak moment.
So we get jackie home and Dom and I schmooze with her parents and found
out that oddly enough we like the same things, namely Travelling. So we
talked a ton about the places that they've been and the places that
we've been. So after Sr. year how bout a cruise eh?
There was so much said and talked about that I could detail it for many
paragraphs however, there's no real need. You'll end up hearing about
all of it eventually when Dom and I go through and do it all. So I
think that we decided on a cruise after Sr. year, perhaps this will be
my motivation to graduate in 4 years.
So we end up heading home after many stories and whatnot, and I was
goign back onto 31 and ended up making a wrong turn so naturally i made
the best of it and we went to starbucks and sat down and chatted for a
while about whatever came to mind.
After that we headed back and procrastinated some more.
<1> (visit http://www.and-a-half.com and put the proper password into the homeward bound insert.)
So then we get back onto campus and I find out that Tammy has now taken
to not speaking with me for some reason that she wouldn't say. Great
best friend eh? Ugh don't even get me started on how much that bothers
me, i mean seriously nothing is worse than when i'm in here and she
completely refuses to admit my existance. We talked about this, we were
all ok with this, we knew it was probably coming, and you were worried
about ME ignoring you... yeah, that's not my style, and I didn't think
it was hers either. She says how she hates when people do that to her
so why go and pull that same thing to someone else, i mean seriously,
Tammy was like my frist real Best Friend that was a girl... and then
this shit? Just goes to show why I try not to get close to girls. Too
catty. Oh well maybe it'll just blow over???
Then we headed over to her room so she could write two papers before 10
and after she finished we ended up laying around and talking and
whatnot. Again, sleep? What's that? | | |
| So saturday rolls around, and Naturally because dom and I got to bed
somewhere around 4:30 am technically saturday though it never feels
like the next day till you wake up.
Ooh oooh, so guess who woke up at 6:30, and ooh guess who got out of
bed first. Yeah that's right me, meee. It was one of those incredible
days when i was capable of waking up. So we get packed up head out and
then get to the car, and drive behind cromwell and drop off Dom, heh
she forgot her camera and we couldn't have that happen.
So she goes off and I take this time to exercise my incredible skillage at giving tours.
"So that's cromwell as you know"
"Mail room"
"Facilities"
"Spiritual Center"
"ABE"
"Tree"
"Sign"
"Tree"
"Lightpost"
"Loser hall"
"Tree"
"Parking lot"
"Sign"
"Tree"
"Lightpost"
Ohh it was fantastic. The ride there wasn't eventful, just a nice ride.
And we made it, exactly on time. Lol they call me "The Master of All
Things Driven" though I'd love to try a dump truck, however I digress.
We watched the horses and they all trained and everything and they were
snapping pictures alot and I got Abner *smile* ohh man i'm soo going to
own dogs when I get older, I love those friendly guys. Oooh big news
jackie
So we hung around and whatnot then naturally went to McDonalds next,
and we hung out and talked, and I came up with the best idea i've ever
had I think. There's so many children in the world we need something
productive for them to do. So get this we got jackie
Seeing eye CHILDREN.
We'll tell them it's a game, they'll love it and think that it's so
much fun. Ahh man, children...maybe i'll have them some day? It all
depends... I'm considering children... odd, in a good way???
Anywhoo when we were in McDonalds it started to rain so Dom decided that she wasn't going to go ride Ozzy at all.
So we decide to head out and naturally this leads us to USET, which
conviently has a locked gate now  So Dom told us that she'd heard of
a back way in so we go off and look for it, and really had one heck of
an adventure which was fun. However we never find it.
Then I got the worlds brightest idea ever.
"Why don't we just park here and walk in"
*sputter*
"I've been saying that for the past 5 minutes!!!" (dom)
"Heh really??? Whoops..."
So we walked up the road to USET and came up behind the barn from the
back of the dressage arena. It was one heck of a nice view. Damn I need
to pick out my new camera. So we walked around, and they wanted to go
in and check the barn out.
So we walk in and I checked the door for an alarm and didn't find any,
so we stroll in walk around then i see that they have thier security
system set to alert and that it's got motion detectors saying that
there's movement in the main hallway, so i was like, hey guys, lets go.
No cops but we did see 2 other cars whom gave us dirty looks but that's ok they're not cool, i'm sure of it.
We headed off to the breeding farm which is always a nice visit. I just
hung around really and kept Abner out of the mud i mean, really I don't
want the nice black seats in my amazing little baby getting muddied or
anything like that, really knock it if you want to but that's my baby
and i'm going to take care of her, yes my maternal instinct transfers
over to cars too.
So after the breeding farm we head back home to my house before school
in the pouring rain towards my house. By the time we get there it's
slowed down mostly. So i left my window open so that Jackie didn't
suffocate in the car with Abner. Dom and I head in and I give her the
quick tour of the place, it was pretty cool, you kmnow the standard
this is the house, this is all the horse stuff, this is my very very
very green room. This is also the messiest room ever. And then we
headed back out because we didn't want jackie to get too bored. We also
picked up my movies and brought them back so that we'd have them
available to be watched.
So we're on the way home and we end chatting and whatnot and some how
we came to the topic of "bonding." And I mentioned that she never
bonded with me other than that one night after i was on the phone with
manda and she was like, well it's SCARY bonding with you. Hah, i was
only midly offended, but no biggie. So we kept chatting about regular
things as as we're going up Readington Rd we passed the place where
that fucken stumnp used to be that I got in the big accident with and i
told dom and much to my surpise I found out that Dom didn't know a
thing about my Accident, the what happened or the why, or about Uncle
bob or anything (some how that just came up), and she naturally tried
to be like "Ohh you don't tell me anything" and jackie came in with the
biggest and best save ever.
"Well if you ever bonded wtih him you'd know"
Biiig props on that one to Jackie, it was great. Anywhoo after that we
ended up getting behind this horse trailer so naturally we decided that
we should follow it so I did. And we wanted to find out where it was
going so it pulled into a gas station, i followed and I went over and
chatted for a bit and found out that they were from Jackson and that
they came up here for a lesson, haha ohh the interesting parts of life.
We get back to school and I've got to head out to an AXP rush event at
9:00. So we get back and decided that we absolutely needed a nap so we
turned on The saint and laid down, and we all passssed out. I woke up
for rush thing and got out there on time and it was pretty cool.
(More on http://www.and-a-half.com in the insert for this entry. It's the password protected one, ask me for it)
I get back and we all plunk down to watch american beauty and then
after that we turned on the Family guy movie, it was fantastic.
Giggidy 
Dom and I got to bed around 7:00am | | |
| So this entry is for friday. What happened during the day is really
completely unimportant not only because of the fact that I simply don’t
remember it but also because of the very simple fact that, we were
kidnapping Dom’s friend that she’d never met in real life. Ohh boy did
we hope that she wasn’t a 40 year old man with a shotgun in disguise.
So I managed to get out of work an hour early because I’ve got the best
Geology group ever (<3 Meg lab partner) and we just burned through
those rock identification and I got to work a full hour early, thus i
got out an hour early.
So I pop into work and you know, work, then head out get my stuff, and
get ready to head out and Dom and I leave for Jackie’s. We get out to
the elevator then realize that we (I) forgot to get the directions, heh
so we go and get them and head out again. So as we’re going the back
was up to lot 6 and we just begin to cross the road that leads to
packer ciricle we realize that we forgot the mp3 player…. that is a big
no no but dom was all we’re already sort of late and we can’t go back
and we just don’t have time and we’ll just make sure that we have it
next time, so i was like ugh…. ok.
So we head out and I had one of my older mix cd’s from back in the days
of yore when laura and I were together and so it was a reasonably ok
mix, nothing like my really good ones now but still quite good.
So we’re driving down the PA part of 95. We’re just passing a dump
truck that’s in the right lane and there’s a Volvo station wagon off to
the front and right and there’s a chevy trailblazer, and out of no
where, the station wagon just cuts hard left and the trailblazer pulls
a really quick really smooth move to get out of the way and the station
wagon realizes at that last minute “oh shit” and pulls back and the
trailblazer pulls back and somehow everyone ended up being fine. It was
an odd sort of feeling that I got, i didnt’ get scared i just sort of
cursed braced and downshifted so that i could stop quicker or attempt
to pull through an opening, all in all everything ended up being ok so
that’s good.
So we get to take our favorite road in the world the PA Turnpike (276).
“Bryce do you have easy pass?”
“Easy Pass only”
“Bryce, Easy pass only”
“Huh?”
“Bryce do you have easy pass?”
“Oh shit…”
*slams brakes*
*slams reverse*
*Peels backwards*
*burns copious rubber forwarding into a lane with tickets*
“Well that was easy.”
From there it was just a cruise and the allentown exit and a few
turns and we were there. It was great just sitting back, sunroof open
(and to think i used to be so opposed to sunroofs) and just drive. It’s
one of those simply incredible thing to just drive and blast music and
smile, and live, I desperately wish that you all learn not just what
it’s like to live, but to truely be alive.
We were going through and driving and we almost missed the turn on
to kreiball, So we turned around and then made the turn and caught back
on all the directions.
“Hey guys you know what street this is?”
“Ahh, never mind!”
And in less than three minutes we were outside of Jackie’s house. So
the plan was for me to chill out side with Abner, that went for them to
come back out and off we head.
Plans never go how you want them to so I end up spending an
inordinate amount of time chillen with the cute puppy outside and then
her dad comes out and brings him in so i proceed to continue standing
there like a douche, and i decided to make myself alternate between
looking busy on my phone and making phonecalls. All in all it worked
out well. I got called over to talk her Mom and that was nice, I found
out then that her husband worked for a large computer company and
worked on just about all the technical aspects that interest me so I
was excited to get to talk to him more later.
So eventually we head out, with Abner, due to some very slick talking by Dom, lol what a suprise she got what she wanted  " class="wp-smiley">
. So we head home, and it was a nice painless trip. On the way back we
Stopped by bluestone and saw that College Park had a baby which we now
affectionately call College Party. Ohh man that’s one hell of a cute
foal.
Naturally after that we had to take Jackie to the one and only place
where people go for food around TCNJ. Yes, you guessed it, Taco Bell,
it was a great old time, and I realy really love those crunchwrap
supeme things, they’re simply fantastic provided you remind them to
take off the tomato.
So we head back to the dorms and chill and watch movies. It was a good night.
| | |
| So today/yesterday was a simple day. I didn't do much in particular. I
went to bed at 8:00am and woek up at 11:00 did a bunch of work around
here then headed out to the ACM meeting and that went well. Looks like
we're definately going to try and do a "Wing and swing" to generate
interestet and test the waters for "wings and swings" during finals
week. This is going to be interesting to try and get approved and
whatnot.
Anyway, after that I headed off to the studio and worked on my project
till class started then did some really really cool stuff in class with
photoshop. I think i'm definately going to be able to have some awesome
photo's after I get this new camera.I'm really looking at this sweet
kodak because it's better than all the comparitively priced nikons, and
cannons.
Well I'm off to actually go look at that instead of going to bed
because I can't seem to do that too well anymore. Heh Dom's gonna have
a hell of a time waking me up tomorrow... sorry Dom, i have a feeling
you'll read this before you wake me up.
Lol i swear i need to be supervised even to do something simple like go to bed. Haha, anywhoo niight all.
