Sep. 26th, 2007 @ 09:28 pm Milhouse, you'll sign my cast won't you.
Current Location: Bedroom
Current Mood: angry
Current Music: The Snake, The Cross, The Crown.
So here is a look back through the years of the screen names. Notice (with the exception of the 1st SN) there is usually a nickname/joke... followed by my location... and then my age.

1) SlimshadyP14 - Yes... I thought I was black for a year... and I thought he was black too.
2) SmartGuyGB15 - I think Josh Jones was the inspiration for this one... he called me SmartGuy in spanish all the time.... I think it may be cause he could never remember my name.
3) SilentBobGB16 - I like(d) Kevin Smith movies.
4) DuffManGB17 - Yeah I dont know what I was thinking on that one... but Duff Man was, and still is one of the best characters on the Simpsons "OH YEAH!"
5) MAdamGB18 - Oh Alicia... I love you. Thanks for that nick name.
6) I Hate MCC GB19 - Yah... I hate Mott that much to make a SN about it.
7) CoolKidAtMCCGB20 - It got to the point where Mott became more of a joke than an educational insitution. And because of that... I felt I was the coolest kid at the school.
8) AOneKzoo21 - This was primarily based on my nickname at CBS, A-One. It stems from the first tournament I worked when a kid named Andrew worked with me as well... they kept getting us confused so I was nicknamed A-One and he was A-Two. Well A-Two had a problem with stealing shit and is no longer invited to work golf tournaments. 3 years later... I am still A-One... but at least they remember me.
9) AntiCommunist22 - It stemmed from a favorite movie line of my from All The Presidents Men.

:::drum roll please:::

From now until I am the age of 24 my new screen name will be..........

Milpool23.

Frankly... if you don't know who or what Milpool is... I'm not going to explain. Google it.

Sep. 20th, 2007 @ 04:49 pm Another Jim update.
Current Mood: busy
He's back drinking again.

The reason?

One of his college roommates died.

Funny thing is... he's never mentioned this guy ever... to either us or my mom.

Of course he got sad and drank.

This of course... pissed me off.

So I called him and chewed him out. Explaining to him that its okay to be sad when someone dies. You get sad, you mourn the loss... it's what happens.

Then I asked him what he's going to do when his mother dies? Go on a two week bender and eventually go jimmie hendix and pass out and choke to death on his own vomit?

He needs to grow up and take some god damned responsibility. He only responds to us pushing him... he has no drive to succeed and conquer this on his own.

I suggested that he needs to go to an inpatient rehab facility and get away from all of us until he's sober. But we can't afford that.

I am so sick of calling him and chewing him out.

He doesn't care. He doesn't want to get better.


On a side note:

I now hate the democrats as much as I hate the republicans.

Both parties are ruining the country.

Maybe some WMU volleyball will cheer me up? University Arena tonight @ 7:00

Come on guys.. girls in tiny shorts!

Sep. 19th, 2007 @ 01:51 am Yes, I now this is lame.
Possibly two of the better advertisements I have ever seen in my life. Granted you may have to be a sports fan. The music in each commercial makes them what they are.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gajZnliFwM

- This one gave me chills the first time i saw it months ago... and frankly still does. It essentially uses kids/young adults to recreate the greatest moments in Jordan's career.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55BZ2gSsSmY

- This, nicely animated, Nike commercial uses the background music from one of the more underrated, but great, battle scenes from an older movie. Its from the movie The Last of the Mohicans.

Anyways... I know its lame, but I thought I'd share it with you idiots.

Aug. 29th, 2007 @ 11:18 pm Today was interesting
Current Location: my living room watching a giant HD TV
Current Mood: angry
Current Music: Lord of War (movie)
I bought a car.

My house was broken into and the guy took my PS2, my booklet of DVDs, and my duffle bag.

I hope to see this guy so I can beat him. OR I hope he developes colon cancer. And right when he is near death... things start to turn around for him and the cancer goes away... he cleans himself up and gets a job. The bum turns his life around.

And then he gets AIDs.





Am I pissed? Yes. Today was the first day I ever felt like physically hurting some one.

But in the end all that was taken was replaceable stuff. I still have my lap top... I still have my ipod.

Current Location: My cubicle

Current Music: nothing.... just nothing
I was just informed that WMU will be reopening the assistant SID position that had been frozen for some time.

They didn't have the money to open the position so they sort of gave some of the responsibilities to me.

For what ever reason I thought I had a small outside chance of getting this job if it remained closed until I graduated, but I found out this afternoon that its going to be reopened in the next few weeks.

I want to apply for it anyways... but knowing that I have a year left of school is definitely going to count against me. I wouldn't be able to maintain the office presence that is required while taking 12 credits.

Part of me always knew it was a long shot. But I didn't know it would be opened this soon.

This hurts.

Aug. 2nd, 2007 @ 11:29 pm waiting for a haircut sucks
I'm at some shitty haircut place and it looks like i'll be waiting gfor a while. good god am I bored

I'm posting this using my Treo 700. It is the tits.

Akron is really boring and there isn't much to do here. And my internets in my hotel works when it feels like it.

Its gonna suck to head back to my new house and have to unpack ALL my shit.

I also have to somehow buy a car soon. I have yet to figure out how that is gonna work.

I'm also having doubts about my hockey job at WMU. I have this feeling that I'm not going to get any respect fron the other SIDs in the CCHA because I'm a student and they are all full time employees. Hell the hockey program and my boss don't even include me in some of the information they pass along.

This place sucks. I just want my effing haircut.

Current Mood: paranoid
I have developed this infatuation with the Central Intelligence Agency.

I have been constantly reading up on them and watching movies and shit.

Here are the following things that would keep me from being a CIA operative. (based on requirements and recommendations)

1) Intelligence - I am not sure if I am "smart enough" for them. I think of myself as very smart, but I don't have the technical marks to back it up.

2) Foreign experience - I have been to Canada.... three times. Thats it. The only foreign country I have been to is Canada.
                   - The CIA holds those who have studied or lived overseas to be in higher regard

3) Foreign Language - I think this could be lumped in with the above, but I have 2 years of high school Spanish under my belt. Thats it. Not saying I wouldn't be willing to learn though.

4) Pressure - I don't know how well i would do under that much stress.



Things that I have trouble with now, but could do.

1) Killing someone - if it has to be done... it has to be done.

2) Lying to people and manipulating them - I think i could do this



Although I'm not sure if I could ever torture someone.


I don't know... I'm just being retarded.

My dad's psychologist told him he was bipolar and gave him anti-depressents.


My dad is not bipolar, he doesn't show any signs of bipolar. He is an alcoholic.

Of course, my dad accepts his new problem, deflecting the fact that he is an alcoholic and blaming it on some other reason.

I fucking hate this. It's just a new excuse.

Thank god I'm about to go work out. I'm pissed and I need to work out some aggression.

Has anyone else had a problem with Cartoon Network lately?

It just doesnt work for me. It's either a black screen... or a frozen still with sound.

Good God I need my adult swim.

Current Location: bathroom
Current Mood: still freaking sick
So for the past few nights I have stayed up coughing till about 5 a.m.

I have had 5 nose-bleeds in the past few days. But I guess those can be explained because when your sick and your snot is gross and thick.... your nose dries out pretty easily.

I am feeling someone better, this cough is just kicking my ass.

Apr. 30th, 2007 @ 03:58 pm and Scott Baio gave me pink eye. Again.
Current Location: my contageous room
Current Mood: bitchy
Current Music: Some crappy movie on TNT
So since February I have......

Had an eye infection in my left eye.

Had another eye infection in my left eye, which I found out was really the Herpes Simplex Cold Sore virus in that eye.

Now I am sick with a bacterial invection...... which caused pink eye in my right eye.

So now I have some giant Amoxicillin horse pills. And of course some eye drops.

"Stop being sick!" - Wass.

Indeed.

Sidenote: Now that Kyle has moved out for the summer our house will quickly become dirty. In fact, taking out the trash has all ready reached Simpsom's level. And I think I'm about to top it off with my Big John's Breakfast Log.

Jim hasn't been progressing since his last visit to the hospital.

I got in his face about it today on the phone.

If he doesn't shape up, he's gonna end up right back in there and for probably longer this time.

Today was the first time i had spoken to him in about 2 months where our conversation lasted longer than 1 minute.

I've decided to take a vested interest in soccer.

Although the season is almost up.  I have decided to start cheering for the Fulham Football Club of the English Premiere League.

I chose them because they have my favorite US player Clint Dempsey, who scored the only goal for the United States in the 2006 World Cup.

I have yet to decide on a MLS team to cheer for, although I am leaning towards the Chicago Fire or the Columbus Crew due to proximity.

Mar. 29th, 2007 @ 12:09 am Hey hey.... good news?
I was named co-assistant sports information director for Mens/Womens Soccer and Hockey today. Hopefully that will come with a pay raise?

Talked to Bruce today. I'm getting 5 tournaments including the PGA Championship and a trip to NYC for The Barclays tournament.

5 tournaments is about $6,000 take home.

Mar. 27th, 2007 @ 10:53 am Opthamologist
Current Location: My room.
Current Mood: blank
Current Music: MSNBC
So  I saw my opthamologist today.

He said it may be bacterial or viral. And that it also may be Herpes Simplex Virus.

NOT THE STD KIND!

"You know cold sores right? Well every once and a while some unlucky person will get HSV and instead of them getting a cold sore on or around their mouthes,they get one on their eye."

So what does this all mean?

Well for 1, I may not have it.

If I do, it can reappear as an infection like a normal cold sore would. However, when it reoccurs, every time it goes away it leaves a little bit of scarring behind. Over years the scarring would build up and the quality of my vision would go down in that eye. (something that could not be corrected by glasses)

Reoccurances: Could happen in a couple of months. Could happen in a year. Could happen in a couple of years. Could never happen again.

This is truly the most significant medical problem I have had to deal with other than mono.

So lets hope I don't have HSV and that its just a crappy infection that never truly went away the first time.

Mar. 23rd, 2007 @ 09:56 am Ughhhh
I have another eye infection. Same eye as the one back in February.

Or do i?

Yeah... the doctor didn't really know

I had some of the anti-bacterial eye drops I was prescribed, so I took those last night... Woke up and my eye was still really red and painful.

Went to the clinic this morning.

Dr. Brown said it may be bacterial or it may be viral.

Viral is untreatable... and apparently very painful.

So if the new antibiotic eye drops dont improve anything, then its viral and I have to go back so he can "check for herpetic lesions"

So thats cool, knowing that I may have somehow developed eye herpes.

I have a finance exam at 11. I'm going to take a nap and show up late. I already called him and told him i may be late and will have a dr's note.

Then I get to go to GR for the weekend to work the NCAA Hockey Tournament.

Yay.

I feel like shit.
