hi.

Today I feel sickly. However, since I'm such a cool dude I'm still going to work. Watch out though, because if I know anyone who comes in today I fully intend to cough all over their food. whoohoohoo!

Updates... I've started reading a book called Lost Cosmonaut. It's relatively entertaining, covering the history of Kazan, a Russian province/sovereign nation. Apparently, they have a pickled baby museum you can look at if you go there, which seems pretty exciting to me. And who can really say what's left to discover? I'll keep you posted.

I'm working a lot more and have no life. I suppose in retrospect I never really did, but now it's saddening. On the bright side I'm pretty good at pool every once in a while. the other most of the time in a while I'm not too good at all. I've also found time to go bowling once or twice, and much to my chagrin I'm also terrible at that. Go figure...

Mmmmm, nothing else I really want to say at the moment. I guess I really don't have a life. I'll just live vicariously through you guys.

For those who do truly love me

I'm antsy. Not really a huge update. I'm sitting around on my duff here. didn't go to work for the first time this week. I wish that I had some kind of instrument that i played now, because I might then be investing my free time in learning to play it instead of looking at internet forums about Dangermouse. Though, speaking of Dangermouse, check out Dangerdoom and their work. It's pretty darn sweet. Mostly I just enjoy the baselines in the music. And thusly I am inspired to become the greatest beatboxer in the known universe. Perhaps even the unknown, except I'd never really be able to tell.

As a sidenote remind me to return that damn phone. I don't want to get stuck in a 2-year contract with cingular. Turns out that they = teh mad sucksta. I'd kill em if I could. Unfortunately I left my cell phone provider spray in my other pair of jeans.

Perhaps I shall one day write a story about my life. It will be titled, "All the Stupid Things I've Noticed Over the Years." A lot of it I presume will revolve around people I hate. Because they're stupid. Like emos. and people who use too many periods... ... That is all.

Also, I downloaded a Madonna Album and made Jacob listen to it. I got him pretty good. Then I remembered I downloaded a Madonna album, and I hated myself.

Love,
Chris

P.S. I just realized that the title has nothing to do with the body of my post. Take that!

Some pictures of the new and improved restaurant.

Lame Update

So my phone's been broken lately. Like, the buttons kind of dial randomly when I'm using it with an open lid. So I went in and thought I'd have to pay top dollar to get a replacement. However, to my amazement when I'd finally decided just to shill out the bills the guy at the counter said my old phone was still covered under warranty and that they'd replace it for free! Basically they're mailing me a phone so I didn't have to pay a dime. I was so happy that I made out with everyone in the store right then and there. The all gave me a big tip though, so it's cool.

In other news my restaurant is opening up this week. I'm still a bit lost as to what I'm going to be doing as it sounds like working directly in the shop is something left to be contested. I will probably end up with a part time job there doing some odd jobs like creating flyers, cuopons, and running the website. Though I have been told that I could work at starting my own business. So that's pretty tight.

School is finally starting tomorrow. I'm happy to see something come along. I've been pretty bored as of late, so it should be a nice change of scenery. Books are still in order to be had though. I suppose I should have given that some thought sooner...

Ah! I need to move out. The End.

Snakes on a Plane

Just a quick update; I saw Snakes on a Plane! The movie was fantastic, and I'm really dissapointed I hadn't seen it sooner. Samuel L. Jackson played a truly believable snake exterminator. And the plane... well, the plane will probably win a Golden Globe, or perhaps a Nebula for it's role. That is all.

Neat

So I was messing around with the template on here and realized some cool new things you can do with blogger now adays. Check out the sweet sweet pic at the bottom of the sidebar, for instance. Now that's classy. I think I'll change it weekly so you'll have something pretty to look at now and then.

Thoughts

Man, I woke up at like 4:30 this morning, which is pretty early for me I figure. I don't really know why either. The sunrise is nice to watch though. Today I intend to get motivated to do something. It seems like the last week or so has been relatively uneventful and I haven't shown any desire to liberate myself from my surroundings. I've taken on the task of learning how to build a web page. Seeing as how my experience is next to none I figure it should be a smashing success. If and when I do finally get things running though it should provide me with a second source of revenue, which is fun.

I still haven't seen snakes on a plane. Dissapointment doesn't do justice to the feelings I have over this. Has anyone seen this fantastic movie yet? Little Miss Sunshine is also up there on the lst of movies to watch. It's got rave reviews and everyone who's mentioned having seen it also gave the movie a "thumbs up."

Bleh, I'm bored.

Plans

How does that saying go... "Release whatever it is that you truly love and if it was ever yours to begin with it will return back to you." That's probably entirely wrong. Each and every day I'm coming to find out more about myself. I feel like I've been missing out on so much the last few years of my life because I refused to listen to my own soul. Part of the human experience, as far as I know it to be, involves the admittance and understanding of one's own emotional concerns. I woul, however go so far as to say that it shouldn't stop there though. How can you truly know you've lived if you have nothing to compare yourelf to? What good are your thoughts on life if you have no companion that you trust enough to share them with? Up until this point I believe I've only shown 1 facet of my soul to people in the hopes that they'd be fooled into thinking I was more perfect than I really was. How unfortunate that what I didn't realize before was that these traits and qualities in human beings is what makes them so perfect to begin with. These thoughts are vague and indirect, but the general feeling I've been getting from them is phenominal! Each and every day I think and learn more about the inner workingsof the mind. How interesting it is to me that we can go from anger to sadness, from happiness to discontent. How empowering to know that we have this power over other indivduals. That we can directly manipulate their emotions as well as our own. How connected to humanity I feel when I realize that A good majority of people have had entirely similar emotions over the entire spectrum of my experiences. I'm once again happy to be who I am. If I were to measure my success in concern to this revelation I'd already be able to die a content man.

On a side note I've begun reading a book called Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keyes. Apperantly it was one that I should have read back in highschool acording to both Cassie and the lady whom I purchased it from at the checkout counter. I find it refreshing. Almost as much as say... beingfreshed for the second time. Which brings me to another question; Why don't they have fruit refreshers? I hate it when fruit becomes overly ripe. I think this would be a marvelous solution to that problem.

I'd also like to move to the beach for a couple months next sumer. I'm not sure who is planning on coming back to the OR after they finish up with school though. It's bittersweet to think that a lot of friends from highschool I have lost or will lose between graduation and a year from this point. I wish the best for everyone. And at the same time I truly miss what used to be. Growth. It's so unusual. But I'm getting too far away from the topic at hand. I'd like to know if anyone else would be interested in splitting the rent with me. I don't know how dificult it would be to find a cheap place orto find jobs in the area to keep busy and pay the rent. But I'm not entirely interested in spending another summer in Dullsboro. So get back to me.

Through hardship comes revelation. The world is filled with multiple choice questions, and none of the answers are ever entirely right. And to all of you, I apologize for not giving the appropriate considerations to your feelings and concerns. Things will change, I promise it.

Coldplay

Tennis is a tremendous game. I really believe more people should find the time to get outside and enjoy some sort of physical activity. Not necessarily tennis, mind you, but moreover something that they an find entirely enjoyable. However, if it is tennis, you should hit me up because sometimes I get bored having to play with the same sucky person (whose name shall remain anonymous) all the time.

Also, that guy from Coldplay has an amazing voice. I would much rather listen to him than my neighbors, 12 year old children having a birthday party of some sort. Who the hell buys a blow up play structure for their birthday brats? It's no wonder kids turn out as shitty as they do these days. Kind of makes me hate the world. Then I have to stop and remember that I'm also part of it, and basically things even out.

Go team!

Night Walks

Since I'm sure that not a single soul visits my lonely page anymore I thought it might be fun to give writing a try again. LIFE! Man, what a rush. Lately I've seemed to have ups and downs. I'm just not sure what to do anymore. I feel insecure all the time. Like my security blanket has been ripped from my hands and now I'm left to fend the dark by myself.

It's amazing how much a person can think about on a 3 hour walk to nowhere. I've been repeating this process on a whim the last few nights to blow off steam, collect myself, and practice my singing. Hahaha. As it turns out I'm absolutely marvelous so long as noone's around to overhear.

One person in particular has sparked a few thoughts far extending her own doing, and I couldn't be more greatful. I want to take hold of life right now. I want to dedicate myself to school and work. I want to endear my name in the hearts of many. I want to train myself to be a fitter and happier person. I want to care for other people. I want to apologize for hurting some. I want to rekindle old friendships and forge paths to new and exciting ones. I want to surround myself with people that make me glad to be alive. I want to be able to confidently surrender control to those I'm closest to. I want to love.

Where is the rain gone?
