When someone asks me the thing i hate the most in this world I will tell them that its when i interrupt my sleep intentionally to do something when i dont have to do it, and especially when its early. 7 AM may not be that early to some people but its way too fucking early for me. I went all the way down to the library forgetting it didnt open till 8, theres another half hour of sleep, then come to find that book that i needed was checked out till 9, theres another hour of sleep, and then i realized i didnt even have to present on this particular book, theres another hour of sleep. I was livid and nothing has been bothering me lately but this did. Then i went to another class, russian lit and just had to sit there doing nothing during our discussion because the book we were supposed to read for today just got to the bookstore for me today, in week 7, 7 weeks after i ordered it and they wouldnt give me any money back for the trouble. But somehow im still in a good mood, i guess i did come home, smoke, and listen to some dope music. That always relaxs. Now I just need the weather to get nicer so i can go do outside things. |

Our basketball game resulted in yet another loss. The team always shows signs of ability but we cant seem to put a whole game together. I dont know, i finally started shooting really well in the 2nd half. But anyways, its still fun to play. God all i wanted to do was lay in bed all day and maybe smoke a little bit. That would have been so nice, i needed to relax today, it was quite an active weekend. Oh ya the point of this entry was to let everyone know that were going to this crazy cabin in southern oregon about 30 minutes from the coast sometime soon, perhaps spring break and we can have up to 60 people there. If you are interested let me know because it is going to be amazingly fun. |

Lately i feel like I am constantly high. Stupid little things arent bothering me like they used to and everything just seems a little more exciting and fun. Ive met some very cool new people in the last couple weeks and I hope I get a chance to hang out with all of them more. The weather is cold as hell but the sun is out at least. Im just in a great mood. If anyone wants something from me this is certainly the perfect time to go for it. |

I truly hate the winter. Once January 1st has come and gone the months of january and february are hell. With the exception of the Super Bowl and maybe one or two other events, the months are entirely useless to me. The weather drives me nuts and i know im an oregonian been here for 22 years and should be used to it but it still just completely drags me down. All these straight days of rain and darkness and cloudy cover tempt me to just sit around and think about stupid bad things that i expect to fuck up in my life. Its amazing when theres even just a temporary cloud break and some sun shines through and thers a little bit of blue how much my attitude perks up as if i just got laid and didnt even realize it. I love it when the days start to get longer, last week on ym way to work the clouds broke for just about 15 minutes and i pulled up to the house i worked at and i realized that it wasnt dark yet and it was 530 at night. The last time it wasnt dark when i got to work was way back in october, that got me pumped up and i realized it was already the 11th of january so i was a third through jan. and a sixth through the hell that is jan. and feb. thats how much i hate this time of year. i cant wait to go camping again, go hiking, swimming, playing basketball, baseball, frisbee, having bbqs, outdoor partys, and everything that goes along with the weather getting nicer. even if it rains a lot during spring we at least get more warmth, and more days of sun, usually. i just hope this constant rainfall ends soon, i just need one day without it, cuz its driving me fucking crazy. |

so im already getting pretty excited about the holidays but that should come as no surprise to anyone who knows me pretty well or has even met me since i usually introduce myself as hi im T, or david, and i love christmas. due to my excessive phone bill from when i was in LA and the public consumption ticket im gonna have to have my parents pay on friday ive been told im not getting any presents except some clothes. thats fine with me, getting presents is all well and good but its nothing compared to the rtest of the season or even watching someone else open the present i got for them. not simply because im such a giving and kind person, although i am of course, but rather because i give people the strangest presents i can find that i think they may actually like which usually leads to a good round of laughter from the whole family. but anyways, so i love the holidays, everything about them, its the only time i like winter weather, the second new years day is over i want spring to get here, but i dont mind any of it up through then. since im not aloud, by family law punishable by exile, to listen to christmas music or watch christmas movies until after thanksgiving im making some yams for lunch because at least they remind me of the greatness of things to come. |

MY FAVORITE CLIENT GETS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ON FRIDAY!!!! This is good for him and for me who will now return to the world of people who make enough money. This year has been m uch nicer than last year in terms of money since i got that nice big fat grant from the govt for being such an exceptional student. I will never complain about 3 grand in free money that i never have to pay back. So now that this client is back ill be able to afford the really good porno to give my friends and family as a christmas present. For a while i was afraid i waqs going to have to resort to the midgets and the clowns from the bargain bin, gross. this also means i should be able to go to canada for new years eve without any problem, someone really needs to start planning that or we are not going to have a place to stay....hmmm....i sure hope someone does soon. so its now november, turkey month, which also means that by the end of this very month that we today are currently in....it will be christmas time. oh yes thats right the gresatest time of the year known to T's around the world, so pretty much just me. although this year i have some partners in crime, roommates who truly enjoy this festive season almost 2/3's as much as i do which guarantees decorating, a christmas tree, christmas parties, roommate secret santa, and a whole lot of yule log-candle burnin-carol listenin-movie watchin-cookie makin-joy spreadin-nog drinkin good ol fashioned christmas fun. for those of you who dont sympathize with my christmas cheer, just know that it truly, for very personal reasons really makes me happy and please dont comment on the lameness of it cuz i agree, its a little lame, but as i said there are very personal reasons i feel a great attatchment to this time of year and they certasinly dont require you enjoying christmas as much as me. anyways, that was just a disclaimer, ok im out. |

So as much as I love fall in the Northwest, and I do, I sure could use a trip to LA right about now. Both Alhambra and a pretty little senorita there are calling my name. Theres been all sorts of drama around me right now, mostly roomie on roomie arguements. Ive been trying to stay out of it, if anyone brings things up to me which dont explicitly involve me and any thing i say could be used as taking sides im trying to just not say anything, even if i do have a side in the arguement, although occasionally i get not sober in one form or another and go off on a rant asbout sometime, i tend to rant. but anyways, a coiuple things lately have just made me really miss LA, which is something I thought id never say since i still dont think that most of the people there are cool at all, and I hate the fucking Lakers. But now that ive seen the finer side of LA I know that i want to go there this weekend, but alas im a poor college boy and it will be until at least christmas break until LA comes to me. Ok well I hope youre all having a merry fall and a goodf start to school. byebye for now. |

Man oh man what a great time of year. I love the fall and this fall is especially great. my house is really nice and my roommates are a ton of fun. Ive already met more people down here this fall then i did all last year i think. Well i guess i should say ive become real friends with more people already then all last year. Our house is a lot of fun and theres a big partty this weekend after the ducks down the fucking huskies and move to 6-1 unless they drop their regular midseason turd and lose to the worst team in the pac-10. so everyone who reads this and wants to come is welcome, i am pretty sure a fair number of the portland kids will come which always means a good time. |

Well only one week till shahanah gets here, and its going to be a busy week. It started today, sunday, as i began to pack up my life and put it into the tahoe. Im moving, hopefully on wednesday if my landlord will let me in. the ducks first game is on thursday and i will certainly be watching that, and then i will also be working, so the week should go by as quickly as they have been recently. time seems to have sped up in a summer when things were moving slowly, but what a great summer its been, few periods in my life have compared to how simply comfortably happy ive been recently. ive just felt very free, i love it. |

So i watched like 10 episodes of the OC today, it was quality alone time but it made me realize how much im looking forward to getting some soon. I dont know why, it hasnt really been that long at all but jesus, that show just puts me in that mood i guess...i cant really help it. So my nieces baptism is this weekend, shes adorable, if anyone who reads this hasnt seen her I can send you some pictures from camping and stuff. I am glad Im not gonna be her godfather, not that i dotn want to be but im already quinns and i dont really feel like having to hold her head over that bowl while water gets poured onto it, not with the amount babies move around, its a little scary, i swore i was gonna drop quinn. my tummy hurts right now, its been acting up a lot lately, probably because i have to move into the new house soon, and school is starting soon and work has been rough and all that stuff combines to make me a little nervous i suppose. and when i get nervous, my tummy gets unsettled. im out of tums, damnit. i need to find a hobby during the day, somethign to do outside and sicne most of the people i know arent back in town yet i have trouble finding stuff to do during the day so i end up sitting around, not healthy. anyways, its just about bed time for me so ill end this, night night. |

So I had another client die recently which is a weird feeling. Two of my clients have died since i went to work there but i wasnt really "friends" with either of them. They were the two that saw me mostly as just help.I find it very sad but at the same time not nearly as sad as ill be if either of my two favorite clients were to have soemthing happen to them. Ive become very close to them and if not for them I may have even quit and found a new job by this point. I havent been around a lot of death in my life then this year all the sudden three people i know died, my two clients and a good friend of mine who was my godfathers son. he was one of my best friends in my early life and up through most of middle school so that was the most difficult one to take yet. But on a happier note shahanah is coming to eugene for a week. I havent seen her since Jacob and I left LA and shes gonna fly up here on the 4th, im gonna show her around portland some and then bring her down to eugene for the rest of the week. On a related note bob is gonna be in town tonight, i cant wait hes the coolest, truly one of my best friends, and of course i have many of those but Bob is something different, hes one of the funnest people i know. Too bad hes not gonna eb in town when shahanah is here because i know she misses her gonzaga friends and bob is the only reason we know each other. but oh well. so my new house is on 19th and pearl, if that sounds familiar is because its three doors down and across 19th from my house right now. its a little more expensive but a lot nicer than the house im living in now, although i will miss this old shanty, specially the shower. its funny looking on the outside and i wasnt expecting the inside to be anthing like it it, it was a pleasant surprise. my new roommates are george, jessica, and monica who ive never met but ive met her bf supposedly, from what i hear shes a cool chick. anyways, i think ive rambled on long enough, theres an update on me for anyone whos interested. |

This has been one of the first summers where i havent been constantly looking forward to the next BIG thing going on. Not only has it made this summer seem to last but it certainly has been one of the best summers ever so far. The summer started out with a bang, first we had one hell of a birthday party for me which was by far the biggest party ever held in this house while any of us have lived here, it was insane. then jacob and mike and i went off to LA and DISNEYLAND!! and even though we got in a car crash jacob and i got to stay down there for an extra week and stay for free with a very kind, welcoming, and totally cool girl and her family. So we basically got to stay in LA for free and go down to the pier and the beaches, and just all over, it was amazing. More than anytime before this summer things just seem to come together. We will be sitting around on our couches in our backyard (we moved our living room to the back yard) and decide to call a couple people and before you know it theres actually a lot of people over at our house drinking and having a great time. Camping was awesome this year, was down there with just my family from tuesday-friday and then ben jacob and jack came up. I went swimming a lot, hiking a lot, theres something to be said for hiking alone, i can go wherever i want pretend im doing whatever i want, i feel like im a little kid again running up the side of some big dirty hill with no trail just getting covered in dust and pretending im a soldier taking some hill or something. it doesnt matter, its just nice to have that sense of solidarity and freedom without any around you to see how silly youre acting. so after camping i came back and had one bad week at work, but the rest has been fine, trying to save a little bit of money up before school although i havent been TOO successful but thats cool. I may be going up to spokane labor day weekend to see the gonzaga kids, shahanah may come up and we may carpool up there since she is an alum up there. I miss bob, even when im having a great summer i miss all the guys who arent around here, i mis johnny and andy and benny too but ive seen them more recently than the boju. So i cant wait to see him in the old spokompton. so that is one of the things im looking forward to, that and the start of football season but im still enjoying everyday more than i think i have in the past. so hopefully the second half of summer will be just as great. |

How do i get myself into these situations. My hand occasionally wanders too far from my mind and it takes too long for the messages to get back. By the time they have my hand has already explored too much and found something it refuses to let go of. At this point my mind is drawn into the situation and despite the flood of logic into the conversation the debate has already been won. My hand is the victor. My brain is not opposed to the situation it is just afraid of it. It knows how the hand has overreached before. |

Ive only seen your face yet I cant help but love you. If you ever come to me I will do anything for you, be anything you need, and help you with any problem. I cant explain this feeling, it is so alien to me, to never have met you but to care for you so much. Tomorrow I will see you finally and hold you but for now I just know that you are a part of me forever. You are my niece and I love you.
My first niece was born on June 2nd around 1 in the afternoon. Her birthday will always be three days before mine but that is the smallest example of how close I hope to be to her. I want to be the perfect uncle. |

830 thursday pick up ben kevin norah, see topless girl riding bike, consider it a good omen for the weekend, drop the three off at kevs place they headed to idaho, went home, slept, woke up 7 on friday started to drive to spokane, got there at 1, bob approved of this time, yet worked till 4, i slept, bob came home from work, one step out of his car and he tosses me a beer, a clearer sign of thigns to come, head up into the hills, bob pays his two month late rent, head to his bosses, drink beers, i am asked if I like niggers.....i was not pleased by the question, left there, went to bobs at 9, he fell asleep, we gave him an hour, he was passed out, steve put the hottest hot sauce ever in his pits and on his lips, he went nuts, almost cried, we all left, some dude strangled me and everyone got all upset, i didnt realize he was serious, i laughed, bobs roommates took me out, two pitchers, a shot of jaeger, a round of car bombs and a vodka tonic later...wasted we stumbled out, hardly a shell of our usually crisp demeanors, arrived home slapped bob, fell asleep. Saturday morning, great idea, bobs at work, ill steal his bed, he had just gotten home, he was wide awake and made me go to breakfast with him, bad idea. after breakfast return to house, bobs goes over the curb and drives through his neighbors lawn, plenty of head shaking from all those around who know bob, we decide to hit the driving range, big old bucket of balls, hot as hell, hungover, bad combination, 1/4 bucket down went into clubhouse, nice cool gatorade, finished hitting, bob is still a nuts golfer, nearly killed a woman on the course from the range, back at house, time to leave for idaho, rafting trip, country music, country roads, fast driving, fritos for lunch lots of excitement....until the expected 2.5 hour trip became a 5 hour trip, a little further than the locals estimatewd. arrived at the camp just in time for the keg to be tapped but no rafting for the night. keg from mcmennamins, excellent, 26 cases of free pabst, excellent, lots of drinking, playing flip cup, benny was wasted, cooked dinner and headed down to bigger party below. lots of drinking and hitting people not in our group with footballs and then apologizing, return to campsite, sleep in back of bobs car with bob, 6 in the morning he claims he ordered a pizza and it should be here soon, he then went back to sleep, up at 9, people trying to get me to go rafting, sounded fun, but i was having a bad morning, back and forth to the outhouse every 20 minutes, serious tummy-itis. couldnt go, sat around camp for a while, smoked and went for a hike with ben marten and kevin, awesome trail. hiked into a waterfall, back in a cove, dark except one ray of light peaking through, made it glow, further up found a cliff with an incredible view, gorgeous day, no clouds, could see very far, snow capped hill in the distance, went down the wrong trail, eventually realized, turned around, good hike. back to camp, bob and i had to leave, back to spokane, 4 hour drive this time, better route, first time ive been to pullman, great campus, dinner at teriyaki joes, first real food for some time. back to bobs, drinking game, not into it at first, ended up being really fun, interesting people, gonzaga alumn, older, one was flamboyant, very fun. bob passed out first again, this time at about 1145. I went to bed around 2, up at 615 to drive back in time to write a paper due tomorrow and go to work. great weekend. |

I was looking at Kevins new tattoo yesterday. Its a drawing of portland and a big rose. I simply cant help it. I love the rose city. I may live somewhere outside of Oregon for a couple years or something, who knows. But if I live in Oregon...I wanna be in Portland. It's my city. I know the streets. I love thwe atmosphere, I am comfortable driving there, I love the blazers(future season ticket holder hopefully), there are plenty of things to do there, its close to a lot of cool places, and the weather really doesnt bother me. I love it, and that is all there really is too to it. It is my home. |

All the secrets and stupid codes,
I sift through them till my head explodes,
Why cant you just extend your hand to me,
Call me back into your society,
Lets relive the days when I kissed your neck,
when wed lie in bed after breaking a sweat,
simply enthralled by your beautiful touch,
nothing ever could have been too much,
breathe this memory once more for me,
set it beside me where you used to be,
where we rolled along the rows of sheets,
the missioners prayer to aphrodite,
scream into my ears that you love me,
at once feel the power of my serenity,
taking control of my very life,
she falls and lies breathless tonight,
only to stand and walk to the door,
perhaps to enter this room no more,
a tear once fell with such ease,
now unable to release,
inside of me it will stay a while,
but that is just my current style. |

5 stitches in my eye. Wow, what a night. In the ER till nearly 1:30 AM, the guy in the bed next to me was coughing, gagging, weezing, and tellinh himself to "just die" the entire time as Cathy and I sat there; me bleeding and her being tired and bored but sticking with me like the sweetheart she is. We are 0-2 now, not the best game any of us has ever played, were not clicking, we need practice, we need order. Too many forced shots by everyone, not enough ball movement for open looks. Sometimes someone will have a perfect lane to the basketb and I want them to run there so I can hit them with a pass, but they havent playd enough and they run the opposite direction and then the ball has to be kicked out to start again. But it will come together. The stitches arent actually on my eye, theyre right next to my eyebrow and they are not as bad looking as they could be, it seems to be healing well. I guess only a small piece of it is expected to stay there, and it will become a less than clearly obvious scar with time, however, i dont really look that different. Well I guess right now i do but thats because the stitches look like a caterpiller on my head. On a lighter side of the news my cousin is still in the heart of bagdad and im still freaked out about it. He was already injured once, got some very small shrapnel in his leg, it wasnt the million dollar wound that brings someone home for good though. He was back there quite quickly actually. Fuck the iraqi elections. They are worthless. The sunnis are boycotting them suppoedly so theres a 1/4 of the population not participating. There are gonna be so many fucking attacks. Our forces are spread thin and its proved that the Iraqi "police" is corrupted at the highest levels by insurgents or insurgent sympathizers. These elections are being rushed at the expense of any real form of democracy and safety. They are being rushed so that we can pretend we have done something meaningful, THE GREAT GEORGE W. BUSH HAS BROUGHT REAL LIFE ELECTIONS TO IRAQ. IMAGINE THAT IRAN, REAL ELECTIONS IN IRAQ, SOUNDS NICE DOESNT IT...fuck that man. No one with any intelligence can look at these elections and think that they arent so utterly flawed and forced that they are the right idea right now. Bush just wants what he can say is a "legitimate" government in place so that he can begin making real oil deals with them. Why was Iraq first on our list? There are plenty of fucked up countries in this world, there are plenty of places with evil leaders where the people arent free, and a lot of those places are much bigger threats to our country than Iraq who was having trouble doing anything with the sanctions we had on them, let alone build a terrible destructive army. Nope, but out of all these fucked up countries, where so much is wrong, we invade the country with the largest oil deposits in the world. And we do it under the leadership of a president who first made his money in the oil industry. BUT WERE THERE FOR FREEDOM, dont let any tree hugging, conspiracy theorist, homosexual sympathetic, bleeding heart liberals tell you different because they hate America. George Bush loves america, he loves you, and he loves me. And he proves it by saying yall and wearing cowboy boots. His "plain talk" as he calls it, spreads across the great divide and touches all parts of this country. He above all else, seeks freedom for every man and woman in Iraq unless they want to be a gay married couple. Thats just gross of course. Even though it doesnt affect him at all, but I understand cuz it could affect his children. What if his daughters caught gay? Theyd be munchin carpets all over this great land. Then what? Communism. Thats right, pure and simple....oh wait....no its 2005 now, i meant terrorism, sorry. ah fuck it. Youre all bitch hos. fucking liberals. |
