Can't sleep for some reason
It is 4 a.m. and I am still awake. Why?!?! I know that there is something on my mind but I can not figure it out. I have solutions to everything that has been bothering me yet there is still something there. I wish I knew what it was. There has got to be something missing. Did I overlook something? Is there some simple little detail that I forgot about? Hell I thought writing this post would help me figure it out, guess I was wrong. Going to try to get some sleep. Maybe it will come to me later, I hope.

What I realized since I have been home...
My mom is a pack rat. Not that I already did not know this.
My friends back home really know me better then I thought. Either that or they are psycho, not sure which.
Emotions suck, big time.
Really, really, really need a beer.
Ohio weather is just fucked up.
Dial up internet should be banned and broadband should be available for all.
I have started posting more about what is on my mind to this blog. Not what I intended.
Even with 200+ channels available there is still nothing on TV worth watching.
Bald head, cold weather...not good combo.
Really, really, really need a beer.
Miss my computer tower.
Emotions suck, big time.
Miss my Mp3s.
The Dukes of Hazzard totally rocks.
My parents house is small.
Really, really, really need a beer.
Emotions suck, big time.
Ok that is about all right now.

"not many posts"
That is what I said. I was not going to post that much stuff while I was at home. Guess I was wrong. I seem to be posting more now then I have in months. When you have a lot of stuff on your mind you start to convey it into words and then put it on the web for all to read.
In the last 5 days I have slept maybe a max of 6 hours total. I know now I am heading into 43 hours awake with only an hour power nap in there to clear the alcohol from my brain.
Why are some people such asses? I am not looking for an answer just throwing shit out there.
Well I am going to try to get to sleep, finished all the Duke's DVDs already, so not much else to do. Sure there is a sat. with over 200 channels, but I can not find anything on that I want to watch. I can finally watch TV and there is nothing on!!! WHY!!! I guess it is all good.
Later.

Heading home
Not this very minute, but tomorrow around 10-11ish. I will be home until Saturday most likely. Not sure how much I will be posting over the next couple of days since I will be back on dial-up at my parents. I will try to post something though.
Kathy, have a safe flight back to Texas. Have a good ThanksGiving and Christmas. I'll miss you. See you New Years.
Kat, have a good ThanksGiving and see you this weekend most likely.
Andrew, have a good ThanksGiving. I am sure I will see you at some point during the break.
To the rest of you OU people, have a great break and Happy Holidays.
To all the other readers, have a good ThanksGiving.
Update:
Right now only one of the people that i have listed above I wish a good ThanksGiving and Happy Holiday.
Update2:
Ok so that last update was a little harsh. I was just upset and not thinking clearly from no sleep and the beer that was still in my system. Just need to do some thinking.

HEHEHE
A man who was born with no arms wished to seek employment. Fearing nobody would want to hire him with his obvious disability, he thought he'd answer a help wanted sign he saw posted at his church. He rang the bell at the rectory and when the pastor opened the door he was moved with pity. He asked, "What can I do for you, my son?" The man said I've come to answer your help wanted ad. The pastor became concerned and said that ad is for a bell ringer. He stammered that he didn't think he'd be able to handle the job. The man pleaded and said won't you give me a chance so I can show you what I'm capable of? The pastor relented and hired him. The time came when the church bell had to be rung. The man made his way under the bell, took a running start and threw his body against the bell which resulted in a booming "BONNGGGG" as soon as the vibrations subsided, he took another running start and threw his body into the other side of the bell with the expected result of "BONNNGG" . . . and so it went. Now our armless friend was at the job for several months to the delight of the pastor. One day the guy was running late and in his haste he ran up to the belfry and got his running leap at the bell without first getting under the bell. As he ran right off the side of the tower he screamed. Everyone from within the church filed out and just stared. Finally somebody said "poor fellow, does anybody knows who he is?" To which came the answer from someone in the back . . . "I don't know his name, but his face sure rings a bell."

I HATE HISTORY
Off to fail my history final. Wish me luck in failing my first class ever. I am so going to need a beer or two or case when I get back.
Update:
I am going to post this before I get to...well lets just say 'happy'. That test was ok, I think. It was as hard as I expected it to be. Just have to wait and see how I did.

HaHa funny
A Sunday school teacher of preschoolers asked the students to learned one fact about Jesus by the following Sunday. The following week she asked each child in turn what he or she had learned.
Susie said, 'He was born in a manger.'
Bobby said, 'He threw the money changers out of the temple.'
Little Johnny said, 'He has a red pickup truck but he doesn't know how to
drive it.'
Curious, the teacher asked, 'And where did you learn that, Johnny?'
'From my Daddy,' said Johnny. 'Yesterday we were driving down the highway,
and this red pickup truck pulled out in front of us and Daddy yelled at him,
'Jesus Christ! Why don't you learn how to drive?''

Why the blog
I have been doing a lot of thinking about this blog lately. Why do I still have it? It post only the stuff that people want to hear. I never post the bad stuff or how I am feeling. It is always the happy stuff or I am so vague that it could mean almost anything. I know why I do this, so I do not get emails, IM messages, or phone calls asking what is wrong. I keep stuff to myself a lot. Ok before anyone chimes in and says that you should not do that it is bad for you, I know. I have heard that 1000's of times. That is just who I am.
As I am writing this I realized why I started this blog almost 2 years ago. It is my place on the web. I can post links, photos, stories, and anything else I want. I once had a passion to blog and keep the info fresh and exciting. Now I just do not care.
I know this is not the end of this blog. I will not let it just die. I am just venting a little steam. As you can guess things are a little stressful right now and I was hoping this might help a little. It may or may not. Who knows. I will be doing one more post after this one, a vague one just like all the others that are about what is on my mind.

Network changes at G4
From the blog ofKevin Rose
Television is a crazy business - when you start a new show, you know one day that show will be canceled, and you will be out of work. Some shows last 6 episodes, others last 6 years. That?s just the way it is..
Today many of my friends were let go as the network made changes to revamp for new shows. Unscrewed was canceled, and The Screen Savers is being revamped.
The Screen Savers -
As I?m sure many of you have heard, we lost Alex, Dan, Yoshi, and several behind the scene producers?
I have only seen one show since G4 and Comcast took over. It was not the best. Tech TV is almost completely gone now and I hope someday someone will bring it back in all it's glory.
Update:
Just checked Sarah Lanes blog and here is what she says about this.

Not Wide Awake, but awake
Why am I awake at 4:30 in the f'n morning? Because there is no class tomorrow, I mean today. Yeah today there is no class. But that does not explain why I am still up at this hour. Well its all because of a game called 'Top Shop'. "What is it?" you ask. To make it simple, imagine Monopoly but in a mall. And you play it on the Playstation. It is quite addicting. That and Uno. Uno is fun. Uno is a god. Ok so I think that I should get some sleep because I just called Uno a god.

Sleep?
Don't remember what time I fell asleep last night. I do know I was up around 8 this morning, hence this post at 8:40. I know I was not that wasted last night. But then again. Oh well I really needed a night like that with everything that has been going on.

Don't Drink and Drive
Being 3.5 times over the legal limit...bad
Driving while being 3.5 times over the legal limit...worse
Getting into a wreck while driving being 3.5 times over the legal limit...no comment
Just ask yourself...Why? Why would anyone do this? Why put yourself in that position to begin with? Why am I asking questions that there are no real answers to? Why is the earth round and not square? Why are we here? Why am I so good looking? Why am I just asking random questions now? Why...Because I can?

Vatican sex guide urges Catholics to do 'it' more often
OK
A Vatican-sanctioned sex guide is encouraging churchgoers to make love more often in an effort to offset "impotence and frigidity" and address papal concerns over declining birth-rates among Italian Roman Catholics.
Another chapter likely to raise eyebrows unearths theological justification for post-coital masturbation for women who fail to achieve orgasm during intercourse.
