I am such a Tool...

...Or did I just go see Tool? That's right! Tonight was the most epic night ever! Went and saw my favorite band with my best friend. They played virtually all of my favorites songs. The set list in its entirety was:

- Third Eye

- Stinkfist

- Vicarious

- Intolerance

- Forty Six & 2

- The Patient

- Schism

- Lateralus

- Jambi

- Ænema

It was the coolest concert I've ever been to and probably the best I'll ever go to. I hope to get plenty more chances at it. Maybe next time we'll catch Maynard in something weird.

After a perfect show, I topped it off with a perfect last hour with my Hummingbird. She started out in kind of a "poopy" mood, but nothing a little Colton magic and some lyrics from a horrible band can't fix. Can't wait to see her within the course of 8 hours.

There's a rock. Pink sock.

Good night.

Plans for the weekend:

This weekend promises to be very eventful.

Tonight my Hummingbird and I are going to a reunion dinner for the cast of Exit the Body. It's been awhile since I've seen any of them. So before we get there, I plan on doing my video and getting my eyebrow turned into two eyebrows. Can't stand this stupid thing.

And if tonight isn't going to be awesome enough, tomorrow is the long awaited TOOL concert. Robert and I are going to see them at the Toyota Center at 8:00 PM. This is my favorite band and I shelled out $160 for these tickets. Tomorrow is going to be epic.

So now I'm going to finish my non-existent to-do list so that I can spend more time with my Hummingbird before dinner, tonight.

Is breá liom tú mo éan ag portaireacht.

Summer well spent!

I just had one of the most amazing vacations ever. Never thought I'd enjoy camping so much, but I guess it helps when you have wi-fi and satellite TV.

So this year's trip (the first one at least) was at el Rio Frio. About 6 hours away from home and even the drive up here was great. Everything is great so long as I'm with my Hummingbird. We have had the wonderful pleasure of getting to sleep in the same bed... or air-mattress... for 5 days straight, now. It's been a blast hanging out here with her and her family. We've gone down the river twice in kayaks and to the swimming hole. I jumped off the cliff a bunch and used a rope swing, although I didn't enjoy one of the times it was used... yeah, my back still hurts from that.

I am sunburned, sadly, but with the daily use of liquid cacti I'll be fine, I'm sure. We're leaving tomorrow, which disappoints me. I've had so much fun with being here with her and her family. I really hope I get the same privilege next year and that I catch it on a longer stay.

Until next time,

Yes, I am alive...

It has been quite awhile since my last post. Just want to let my loyal readers (all 2 of them) that I am very much alive and I plan on utilizing this more.

Update on everything that's happened since last time:

I have finished my second semester of college with passing grades in all classes. Summer is going great. Working a bit more so that I can get some more money. That way I can spend more time doing out-of-home activities with my Hummingbird. Her birthday was 3 days ago and we spent as much time as we could together. Went to the Border Grill yesterday for a birthday lunch with her family and 2 mutual friends.

Insanity update:

I am currently on month 2 and I am almost done. Just 2 more weeks to go, however I am going to have to redo 2 full weeks to make up for the time I'm going to lose when I go on vacation.

And that's another thing, I am going to the Frio in 3 days. Can't wait either, because I get to spend 5 full days (sun-rise, sun-set) with my Hummingbird. This is going to be good funn. I love the watr and I love being anywhere out in the sun. We'll be staying in a cabin (complete with satellite and wi-fi) on an old pecan farm and it's gonna be a blast, I can tell.

Well that's all for now. Gonna get together with my love, later, to hang out for the night.

Until next time...

The Start of Something New...

And that new something is the beginning of a new week. Got my hair cut today. Feels about right, and to make things better I've got another appointment at the actual salon that Ma goes to, to get my hair colored red. This outta be interesting.

On the downside to a new week; it also means that I'm away from my Hummingbird for quite some time. I can get pretty envious of my friends who are in relationships and see their girlfriends whenever they please. But I guess when you get the best of the best, sacrifices must be made. And I'll be willing to make them without a second's thought.

On another note, my back is giving me issues. We'll see how that turns out, but at the moment it has become a major thorn in my side. It's moved from the left of my spinal cord to my upper glute muscle, which gave me kind of a limp. I suppose if it's not one thing, it's another. Until next time, so long.

I love you, mo ghrá.

Dúirt mé liom féin ní ba mhaith liom a fháil gar do dhuine ar bith...

...ach mé sásta rinne mé. Tá tú níl aon smaoineamh cé mhéad i gceist agat dom.

We have such a good time over the weekend. What makes this week so special is that it's Spring Break and we have the whole week together. I finally got her to see my favorite movie... but at what price? I agreed to watch New Moon with her. Lord, give me strength.

I cannot wait for her to get off work so that we can spend time together. I hate to leave her, but I wake up with anticipation every day she's home. She really is something else. Normally I would try to back out, out of fear, but this is... real...

Is tú mo ghrá.

You are the light to my soul...

You are my purpose. You're everything.

I am once again amazed at the wonders that God has given me. I find it amazing how I can start my day so bored and so uninterested in life and suddenly be turned around to loving life and ready for more. I just want to thank God and give praise to Him for all of the blessings he has given me. He never ceases to amaze me. Every time anything happens to darken my beliefs, He always responds with a burst of inner light that shines right through the darkness that presides within.

I see it mainly when I go to see her. After being at work today and with my brother, I was still in a weird place; feeling like there was nothing worth doing today. I took a walk around the neighborhood to clear my mind of all the troubles that weren't even there, but that didn't help. But then she came home. My Hummingbird has returned to me. And even though it was only for a few hours, the time spent with her made my night.

It gets better. This weekend I will spend the night with my Hummingbird. I will be able to share a bed with her for the evening and we will fall asleep in each others arms. I cannot wait. I probably will not want it to end. I haven't felt this way before with anyone.

I really do love her.

Tá tú an ceann, mo ghrá.

Strong Will and Strong Love...

I woke up this morning not feeling well. I was going to go to the gym, but decided against it. Did the video today. Tomorrow is the end of Phase 2 and the start of Phase 3.

Had an interesting day. Got to visit my Hummingbird today. Went to IHOP with her and her family then back to her home to shortly be followed by leaving for US Golf and Games. Didn't get to stay for that long due to shortage of cash and lack of ATM in the building. After showing off my gun slinging skills and losing a racing game, we took it to the batting cages. She sure did show her dominance as far as baseball/softball goes with her "Star Hitter" status.

Her home, yet again. We got to watch Whip It and played with her niece. She is a sweet heart. Spending time with her is definately the highlight of my weekend. I feel so at ease when I'm around her. I don't have to act like something I'm not and can have such a great time with her. She is continuing to make me happy. She is seeing the light once again and is starting to believe. I love her so much. We have only been together for a little under two months, but this feels right.

She makes me very happy.

I have finally come to a decision. I'm not going. I am staying here. I love my country, but they can fight without me.

San Jac's Got Talent and More!

High school was a fun time. I could always remember waking up with that feeling of not wanting to go to school at all. However, this doesn't apply to college. When I wake up at 7 AM on those Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I want to climb out of bed and get on to class. Kinda weird how that works. Today was a treat, as well. There was a talent show in the Student Success Center. I went to support my friend, Caleb. He actually did quite well.

Now finally at home, all there is to do is talk to my Hummingbird and wait for the time to go to the theatre for the publicity photos.

Day 1

After a day filled with college classes, bowling game, a visit with the grandma, and an utter end to procrastination, it's time to ressurect the blogging. Considering it as an electric journal, because blog sounds weird. Now to the juicy details:

Today started with the usual routine. Getting up at 7 and commencing with the daily ritual of weighing, clothing, eating, and brushing. After all is said and done, it is time to be at the Central Campus for classes. First is Government, second is General Psychology, and third is Composition II. Mondays are a treat, though. That's bowling day. Highest score of the day: 136. Normal day, as usual. After classes, it's a brief conversation with Don, the head of the Campus Christians organization. We talk over the latest bible study. It's the occult. Too bad. Might have been interesting.

Home again, home again. As an hour passes, it so turns out that this fellow is not the sharpest tool in the shed. After a unneeded trip down to the theatre, an even more unneeded trip to the local Walgreen's is made to collect a bounty of Cadbury cream-filled chocolate eggs. A true weakness. One could get diabetes by looking at them.

And now while talking to the loved one, it is to be determined whether or not work out videos will be done, or if I will keep talking with her until we both slip out of conciousness. Love makes people do interesting things.

Oíche maith.
