So I got a ticket going 74 in a 60 last night on the Powhite in Chesterfield. Is there any point in going to court? (Lowering fine? Avoiding insurance raise?) or should I just suck it up and pay it off?
Theres no point in lying, 2006 was definitely an up and down year. I would say that it started and ended great, there was definitely some suck time in the middle.
06 started with Carley and ended with Jessie. The begining of the year was good, and so was the end. The middle was definitely pretty shitty for the most part. Carley and I definitely had something great when we had it. Theres no point in denying it. But I think we both knew that it was falling apart. I think ending it was best for the both of us. She needed to really figure out who she is and what she wanted to do, and she wasn't doing that. I needed something different. There were definitly times when I thought Carley might be "the one" but I think the more I thought about it the more I realized she wasn't. The end of 2006 was spent with Jessie. Now nothing against Carley, but Jessie is almost Carley's opposite. It was defintely a change but its one that I am very glad happened. Jessie is an amazing girl, shes fun, shes super friendly with everyone and shes just never down. Its almost impossible to get this girl in a bad mood and thats what I love about her.
Job - In the begining of 2006 I was doing all of the camera stuff with VCU Insight, and I was getting a lot of recognition while doing it. The teachers' really thought I had the talent to keep in going in a career, but as soon as the class was done I kind of gave up with in and then I was stuck wondering what i was going to do with my life. The the internship at Y101 came and with that I got a part time job doing promotions, and from their I started filling in for people on - air and now I'm the Saturday night guy....I love it, and hope to keep it going and just keep moving up the ladder.
Friends - Ive always had a pretty tough time as far as friends go. Or maybe as far as GOOD friends go. Now I have a lot of people I could probably consider friends, people who's company I enjoy, and who I feel enjoy mine too. But I really don't have anyone besides my girlfriend who I feel really close to. I think its hard for me to hang out with people because I really am very busy, but sometimes I feel like I go out of my way to hang out with people, just to see them, and when I don't get that same treatment back....whats the point?
School. Its all done. I graduated. No more classes, no more anything. Woo Whoo!!
New Car. I got a new car... NEW NEW not just new to me. A 2007 Toyota Yaris. and I love it.
Roomates. ryan moved out, Bryan "Action" Jackson moved in. We got a couple of pets. 2 ferrits. The fucking stink but they are pretty cool. I feel like I need to spend some more time with the Bryans because I pretty much stay at Jessie's all of the time and feel like I barely ever see them.
hmmmmm....what else?
places i went in 06 --
Vegas - amazing....kicked some ass in poker, deinitely one of the top 2 coolest placest ive ever been to. NYC - went there for spring break. Ive been there a few times, but I really do love it there too. Im defintely a city guy.
New Tattoos...I got a nice side piece of the giving tree, and some of my arm filled in with a cool city scape...its nice...i like..
i got a foosbal table, a new dart board....i dont know
i really thought the whole carley break up thing would have been a lot harder on me, but it surprisingly hasn't ...which is good. i really wish things with her didn't have to end the way that they did.
the two of us aren't talking anymore, part because of me, and part becasue of her (even though im sure she wont admit to that)
RECAP in case you haven't heard, carley and i broke up. well i guess you could say carley broke up with me. she called me up while i was in class and told me she needed to talk to me, so i left class imeadiately and had pretty much figured out what it was from that second. i get to her apartment, we go sit on the couch to talk. come to think of it, i dont even remember if she sat down. she then goes to hand me a letter. i read the letter. it was sad. it was a highlight of the things that really bothered her about me and the things also she included the things that she did like about me, wheich was nice to hear fro her. i finished reading the letter and knew that it was pretty much done for good. there was not go to be any chance of getting back togther. i think that she wanted me to take it a lot hareder than i did. but truthfully i was pissed. how could 2 years of our lives be summed up in a little more than a page. anyways...i got my things, called some people on the way home. and then when home and just thought for a couple of hours. it was tough, but i at that moment, while i was sitting at home i really truley realized that this is what i needed. i didn't need someone holding me back, keeping me from the things that i really wanted to acomplish in life. so i decided i was reasy...at that moment to move on.
as far as the 2 of us not talking. My fault: the next morning on the radio show that i worked on, we decided to have a phone topic about the breakup. i talked about how the letter was written to me, and i even highlighted the reason that she mentioned why she was doing it. she didnt hear in on the radio, but a friend of hers told her about it and it made her flip out and i think that is where it pretty much ended. i really wish that she would have heard it herself though. no one made her look bad on the air, her name wasnt mentioned...i dont know...i didnt see any harm in it.
Her fault: Carley always has had a problem with getting over things. Once someone hurts her, does something to her, makes her mad...anything, she has a really hard time getting over it. She can't forgive people and thats pretty much that for her.
OK BACK TO PRESENT DAY
I have been having a lot of fun. I've met a lot of new people. I haven't had to hold anything back like I had been doing for 2 years. I am the main decision maker in all of my decision. I have a whole lot more free time. I really needed this. I am more of myself now on the radio. I have become more confident in myself. Everything just feels really good.
As for Carley...if you are reading this: again. i am sorry. i never wanted for you to hate me. i wanted for us to still be friends. i never did anything to intentionally hurt you. if you can forgive me, it would mean a whole lot to me. if you can't, i wish you well in your future. you are a very talented, creative girl. you have so many good qualities, you just need to work on the ones that hold you back at times.
im sorry that this is that way that it has to be for you.

so, i got an internship for Y101 today. for you guys that dont live in richmond its probably the closest thing to a mainstream radio station that i would listen to if i listened to the radio still. and you all should know radio is probably where i am going to end up after school. so yay for that.
if i dont end up in radio i plan on editing/shooting video somewhere for someone...its a new thing for me but i really love doing it. i have to do it for school, and ive been told i am kind of a natural for it.
valentines day is still up in the air. carley doesnt know if she will be able to go to the hgb/P!ATD show...so we aren't 100% sure what we are doing. i hope we do get to go though.
i was planning on filming the richmond lucha show on saturday, but im not now. they haven't been too cooperative on letting me know there practice schedule so i said fuck it to that story. i will still be attending though and i plan on taking some stills just for fun.
bike quiddich is the greatest thing since sliced bread...wait bad analogy, i dont eat bread. how bout the greatest thing since sheetz lo-carb bagels. yeah...much better. its so much fun, but im a little worried i might mess up my good riding bike...aka the exspensive one. so i might try to get a beater bike for less than 100 bucks so i can play all out. if you dont know what im talking about, go watch harry poter and imagine the game played on bikes....its really fun.
hmm...what else?
oh yeah...spring break looks like we might be going to NYC now...well, we are going to NYC. flights back from vegas were all booked so we are going to take the chiatown bus for like 35 bucks and then stay in a hostel. should be good times.
i like 3 musketeers...the candy...not the dudes...no brokeback moutain action going on here.
i rarely play poker anymore
lq is pretty much done...no one really wants to play anymore.
So I thought I would write something...I dont even know what I plan on writing yet, lets just see what comes out.
School is starting back up...it seems like it is going to be an easy smester as far as material goes, but there is going to be a lot of work. I am taking 7 classes...which sucks, but they are all Mass Comm classes. Im am a reporter for the school news television show, which you can actually watch online or o n PBS...should be a lot of work, but fun.
The radio station is getting back in to the swing of things, the new studio rules, and I can't wait to start doing the show again.
I had to tell my grandmother I'm going to be here another smester...she wasn't too happy. I felt so bad telling her, but I had to.
Carley and I are doing great, sure we fight every once in a while, but who doesn't? Most are the time the fights aren't too serious, and they usually get resolved fairly easily. But I love spending time with her, and I really don't see myself ever being with anyone else but her.
Spring Break - VEGAS...I can't wait...it looks like it is actually going to happen. Im probably not going to be able to eat anything or gamble when Im there, but Im happy just to go... maybe ill get a little money to spend while im there, but thats not looking good because I have to fix my car. My car needs to pass inspection and I have to fix my door and get new tires, and possibly fix the oil leak. The oil leak might be really exspensive though, and one guy at work said I shouldnt even fix it.
Im still working at O'Charleys, I dont make great money, but I like the job, and the people. I really fit in there and I actually have a good time when I work. And I get to make my own schedule which is a HUGE plus.
Im going to The Gaskets cd release party on the 28th..should be good times, then im going to see some friends wrestle on the 11th at Alley Katz which which also be fun. On Valentines me and Carley have tix to go see Hellogoodbye and P!ATD at the Norva, I dont know if we are even going to get to go though, because Carley's teacher scheduled a test for that night...which sucks a lot.
HMM lets see...that about it?
Yeah I guess so..maybe ill update more frequently..sounds like a good idea
Had a little time b4 work so i did this to cure boredom
