4. When doing household chores, what do you do to make them seem less of a "chore"? Nothing, I just get them done....this fri five is lame

At work, and tired.  I've been pulling a lot of double movie nights back-to-back-to-back lately!  I've seen a lot of new ones....but I miss the theater....however the theater is not free, and all the movies I rent are :)  One movie that surpried me was John Tucker Must Die.  I didn't really think I'd like it at all.  But I was proven wrong.  Hmmm, one movie I really liked was Crank.  That movie was realllllly good.  I also have seen Little Miss Sunshine, Snakes On A Plane, The Last Kiss, The Illusionist (Good movie), Idiocracy, and there are definitely more, but it's hard to think of them all now.  I've also been watching a lot of the Bucks games, and since they lost all of their starters, they've been VERY weak.  1-6 in their last seven.  It's sucks because they were finally starting to win games at a good rate.  Anyways, how has everyone been?

I have been making more friends in Florida and some in part that I switched jobs from Pepsi Bottling Group to Hewitt Associates. I was looking for new employment for awhile and finally found a new opportunity that was a step in a different direction. I have been with Hewitt for a month now and am liking it thus far. Emily and I are coming up on Eight months in on the 8th. We are doing very well and I am vrey happy with her. Only one month until we make our way up to Wisconsin. I might be moved by then. Not sure what's going to really happen there. Just a minor update yo! Shout out to Joey and Matt. Peace!

Goo Goo Dolls - Better Day
Album: Let Love In
Year: 2006 Track: 4

With the new album due out on Tuesday, here is the headlining single off of it. What a great sound the Goo Goo's continue to pound out and into the modern rock market. One of top five songs thus far. If they can keep up good melodic harmonies like this, they'll continue to prosper into another decade with their rocking ways.

SoI'm getting upset with my job and thus have began looking for another job. I think mainly cuz they just tick me off a lot! Emily and I are doing great and will be coming upon our 6 mos anninersary. I have been getting back into the video game swing of things, nothing new, just the classics. I have multiple systems hooked up here, including the NES, Gamecube, XBOX, and, in the main room, the PS2. NBA playoffs start today so I'll be hoping for the Bucks to win a game or two. NHL playoffs also start so root for New Jersey to win it all :) I like them! I miss all my good buds from up north and want everyone to check out my webpage at http://msryry.com/ and my myspace at http://www.myspace.com/greatryry

Just wanted to keep everyone updated. I updated the look of msryry.com and myspace so feel free to go ahead, take a look, add me and/or leave comments and all that jazz! Hope to hear from ya'll soon!

4. Last, i will try to name a single word that best describes you.
5. Put this in your journal

Over the past three to four weeks I have done a lot of thinking. This includes a huge amount of soul-searching. There have been numerous mistakes in my life and I'll admit it with no excuses. My life has reached a new point, however, and the mistakes that I have made in the past no longer concur with the life that I'm living. Thus, I have had to make a lot of changes, decisions, and acceptances. I have never put down my thoughts in words exactly as they are because I am so horrible at it. But right now, I will try to do so in an effort to relieve it off my mind. I have lost many friends in the past year and make no excuses that I have been a bad friend to many. I have made decisions that many would more than frown upon. I have throw away important people and pushed away others. My current situation is a culmination of all the bad decisions that I have made. I have very few true friends. I accept this. I can no longer go on trying to push the issue with people. I cannot force people to be my friend, nor will I attempt to. A friend is someone who will be there no matter what, and care always. They don't need their name mentioned to know that they mean something, but when you do mention them it makes them glow. A friend is someone who doesn't take you for granted. Among the friends that I've lost, Adam, Krystal, Michele, Becky and Liz, Sara, Lesli, and then there are ones that I have pushed away. I've lost great memories; great times; great people and minds. Losing Sara has been one of the hardest things for me to accept and getting through it wasn't and still isn't easy. And I lost friends over it. But she is gone, and I accept it, painfully. I can only regret my mistakes for so long, and then I must let the past go and move forward. Forward is so scary because its the unknown. What comes next? I don't know. That is such a scary thing to realize. I do know that I am happy with my job, and I must thank Joe and Sara for being there and pushing me to get it. Other than work I live life day by day. I get up, and go to work, I come home and wait for soemthing to happen different than the night before, then I go to bed and start over. It's not easy having to realize that some things aren't good for me and others are. Letting things go that are like drugs to me is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do. I don't ask anyone to be here for me, and on the same note, expect no one will. If you want to be, however, I will embrace your friendship and thank you. Thanks for taking to time to read my thoughts.

I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around,
and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,
not even close

not even a little bit
not even at all.

Lit - Looks Like They Were Right
Album: Lit
Year: 2004 Track: 2

I used to love Lit, in fact I saw them play twice. Then they vanished. Four years later they put out their self-titled album, Lit, and right back in my head they are. Their album got 4.5 stars on All Music Guides 5 star rating system, making it their best rated album yet. Worth listening to.

Going to Green Bay today just to add to my list of places i've been this week, add Reedsville too, can't forget about that. Anyways i'll post about how things went when i get home.

Cars - I'm Not The One
Album: Shake It Up
Year: 1981 Track: 3

Most commonly known as that valentines song in Billy Madison, I'm Not The One is one of the best cars songs ever. I really enjoy the Cars music and since they have their own sound you can't find it anywhere else. Great all-time classic, get this song. DO IT...DO IT...DO IT!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!! Holla! w00 w00!

Train - Ordinary
Album: Spider-Man 2
Year: 2004 Track: 2

THANK GOD i didn't have to see spiderman to get to hear this great song! haha This song definitely is moving up the charts and my chart (which by the way doesn't really exist, but whos keeping track)! Get this song even if you don't recognize the name, you will like it!

I got up this morning at 6 so that i could leave by 7 to meet Krystal by 8 and she wasn't feeling good, :( thats sad, get better Krish! Anyways...i had a great night and was thinking about things, and aside from one jerk that i give up with, i had a wonderful week, 8/10! I met a lot of people traveled alot and was always in a situation where i was having fun! LOVING it! This week one of the best in months. Where did i go this week? I started in Sheboygan, went through Green Bay and Wausau to Marshfield and stayed with Katie. Went through Brillion to go to Kauakauna and Appleton, went to Fond du Lac, and Milwaukee and finished back up here in Shevegas. Exciting to the traveling enthusiast. Now lets move on to out-of-state trips. (Yes i will return, so no smart ass remarks ;)) Great America planned for tuesday, wed-early fri antigo camping, later fri and sat recon going away stuff (in case he does go), and Sunday I'm open. Ha that will last real fast. :) And everyone i talk to wants to see Farenheit 9/11. Maybe i can pick one of them or all of them and go lol. Whats going on tonight you ask, HA, ask again later, as i am doing job stuff here and don't know yet!

The rules are: bold what you've seen all the way through; italicize what you've seen part of; underline what you own; add three of your own.

i decided that i really want to keep up more with what goes on in my life in here, so here goes. Today, i got up at 9:15 in the am to drive ashley back to Kaukauna and i got home at 12:30, and waited for Krystal to call, she didn't call until 4-something and i was kinda wondering why because we had planned on doing something but that went through. after that we decided to do something in the morning like we always do on fridays, and then i talked to justin and he has bad news, he has mono. Its not horrible except for the fact that it could last up to 4 months and hes supposed to leave for the army in 2 weeks. the reason that i could be bad is because when you have mono, you're not really supposed to do a lot of physical work, its bad for certain organs (i forgot which ones he said) and if it doesn't go away by the time it starts he can't go. and then he'll have to be put on a waiting list and start everything ALL over. that sucks ass. anyways, recon and i are hanging out later tonight and as long as i don't kiss him i won't get mono :) *thanks god he doesn't like boys* anyways, nothing going on tomorrow night yet but i'm looking into it, we'll see, maybe i'll find something maybe i won't. Thats my day, how was it compared to yours?

Shinedown - Simple Man

A brand new song hitting the charts, on the re-release of the Shinedown album. Simple Man is an excellent semi-acoustic song and a rarity in its own respect. Get this song, you will not be sidappointed. It did take a few listens to really peak my interest but i am now hooked!

Lately, I've been talking to Cassandra, an amazing girl from New York. Althoug hsomewhat demanding of my attention, shes super fun to talk to and i love her conversations to keep me going. Anyways her favorite color is Orange which is really rare. I've never heard of orange as a favorite color. She babysits everday and calls me when she babysits and we talk the entire time that i stay awake lol! She gets mad cuz i'm always tired and fall asleep! HaHa but she really does get the short end of the stick because by the time we do talk i'm exhausted! Sorry Cassie! Its not because you bore me i promise! She has extraordianry movie tastes and i can really talk to her about movies! Its cool. She is telling me to talk to her now! HaHa i can't talk to her and type to her at the same time. Anyways, her favorite movie is Rocky, which is awesome because shes a huge Sly fan! FUCK YEAH! I love sylvester stallone! He's a god! She also loves Tom Hanks, which is a nother god! AND my favorite actor, Mel, is one of her favorites too! Shes exciting! And i asked her if she liked me last night, and shes like, well i call you every night don't i....i think that means yes but who knows. Anyways, she says i talk about Krystal too much, but i feel i talk about Michelle too much. I don't know. I guess that i talk about both of them to other people too much but its cass i have to tell her things! :)
