yeah its been awhile hasn't it?

Yeah its been awhile hasn't it? Well I've finally got some free time to myself now that my finals are all over and my pledging process is over. I should be cleaning out my car right now because it kinda smells (strangely it smells like butter), and also the trunk of my car is filled with various things that shouldn't be there, like pancakes, a dress, a victorias secret bag, a parking meter cover, and other random stuff. Just an update on this, its like a few days after I started writing this blog and I kinda did clean out the trunk of my car already. It no longer smells like butter, and I found out that it smelled like butter because of those previously mentioned pancakes. The only thing left in the trunk of my car is the victorias secret bag because yeahhh I don't know what to do with it.

I also mentioned that my pledging process is over and yeah I'm pretty happy about that because I crossed over. Everything has been almost perfect these past few months and deciding to pledge for AphiO has been one of the best decisions that ive made my entire life. Ive made many friends and many new memories through this whole process and crossing over has been one of the best moments of my life. Usually I'm not really an emotional guy but when we were crossing over as a pledge class, tears came to my eyes and I just started crying because I was happy for everyone. Also the banquet we had after our activation was pretty fun. The skit we did went along alot better than I thought it would and also I think everyone was happy with their gifts. I really was happy with the stuff my big sib got me and I can't thank her enough for it. The sweater was exactly what I wanted lol and the paddle is really cool cause its kinda unique cause of the colors. So yeah my whole AphiO experience has been one of the best things ive done in my life and theres way too many people to thank for all sorts of reasons. I want to mention names but theres just way to many people haha. You guys know who you are and what you did so thanks for everything.

So other than AphiO stuff, Ive been busy with other things. A few nights ago i went to the Not So Silent Night concert and it was alright. It really did not live up to my expectations because I didn't get to go down into the floor area. The floor tickets and the seat tickets were the same price so I thought you'd be able to go back and forth but you wern't able to so yeah, not being able to stand up and hop around as I pleased was kinda disappointing. Also the bands didn't put on too good of shows. I really did not like Jacks Mannequin because it wasn't an energetic performance at all, and to be honest the guys voice is even more annoying in real life. Franz Ferdinand did pretty good; they played a few really cool songs but some of their other songs were kinda boring, and their final song was really bad cause of its tempo. Usually as a band, you'd want to go out with a fast paced song because at the end you want people to feel energetic and crazy, because if the whole concert is shitty but your last song is really fun and hyper, then people will think the concert is good, but if your last song is slow and uninspirational, then people will think your concert sucked, andbecause of that I think Franz Ferdinand didn't do so well. Bloc Party was pretty good but not many of their songs were fun. Death Cab for Cutie really killed the whole concert to be honest. They're one of my favorite bands but geez they played a horrible set at the concert. They're a slower paced band so I expected more slower songs like I Will Follow You Into The Dark (which was one of their only good songs that night) but instead they opened up with a bunch of songs that sounded like shitty punk rock with emo vocals. The Killers were the headlining act and they actually did live up to their name. They played a really good set and all of their songs were pretty energetic and entertaining. One of the things about the concert as a whole that really bothered me was the crowd. They really didn't seem into it until the Killers performed and even then the crowd was barely awake. At rock concerts I want to see people jumping and having a good time. I want to see people crashing into each other and the crowd swaying on top of each other all while having a look of pure joy on their faces, and at Not So Silent Night, I didn't see that and it wasn't too fun.

Also this weekend was pretty fun also. I drove down to Satna Cruz to go hang out with Andy and Monica and the rest of them. I got there really really late night at like midnight and we just played Wii till hella late night. Then the next day we went to the mall and hung out there. I got a new pair of shoes so mission accomplished for my feet lol. After that we went and drove around the Santa Cruz campus for a bit. We changed cars from Andy's car to my car because I wanted to drive fast around the campus. The ride was pretty fun and we dove through the campus for hella long. After that we went downtown and we walked around the area. Got some Jamba Juice (White Gummy is hella good) and went to Borders where we learned some new foreign words. After that, we drove down to the Boardwalk and went to the Arcade there. I played soem Air Hockey and some Soul Caliber 2 and then after that we went bowling and Andy beat me lol. We went and got some food after that, and since we were kinda out of money we went to Taco Bell and McDonalds and had some food there. After that we went back to Andy's place and ate there and played a few card games like 13 and Spoons till like 12 midnight. Spoons is hella fun because it just proves how much you don't notice things lol. Then we played Monopoly till like 3am and I actually won which was surprising since I usually get my ass handed to me in that game. Poor Johnny in that game didn't have any property at all lol. Well after that we watched the Dark Knight and we kinda ended up sleeping but then I woke up as Andy was leaving the room so I went upstairs with him and ended up convincing Andy and Monica to sleep downstairs with us. But yeah I wasn't that sleepy and neither was Monica so me and her ended up staying up till 7am playing Tetris. I still only got like 5 hours of sleep cause I woke up around 1 and then we just screwed around at Andy's place till I left and got home around 7.

Well yeah I'm back at home right now and I'm kinda excited for the upcoming few days because I'll finally get to see some high school people I haven't seen in forever. So yeah hopefully now that I have some more time I'll be able to update this blog more often. I really want to keep this blog up because I want to look back on it in a few years and hopefully use it as a window into my previous life but yeah I haven't been able to update as much as I've wanted to. Well this is a pretty long post so I guess it makes up for the past few days lol. So yeah till next time.
