Wow, this semester has been one for the books! Haha, no pun intended...but yeah freakin eh am I busy....
guess that's all I have time for right now....laterz

Seems like I always come here to bitch....so here I go!

Is anyone else tired of the "3rd" roommate that is always at your place, but doesn't pay the rent or the bills? I know I am. I've fucking had it. But if I say anything, like, why don't you stay at your place for one night, which happens to be one door down the hallway, then I'M the bad guy. I can understand wanting to stay with you boyfriend or girlfriend from time to time. But every night? Both times that I came home today, the tv was on and guess who was there watching. There's a tv next door thats your's, go use it! And then, when I bring up my actual roommate's cronic, excessively loud and irritating cough that often awakens me at 6:40...I get bitched at for eating my cereal too loudly in the mornings by my 3rd roommate! Cereal? Loud? WHAT THE FUCK!?! But since i'm nice I won't say anything and just deal with it for another year. Grrrrr. I've decided that I should have opted to live by myself...then I wouldn't have anyone else's, or their girlfrinds, shit to deal with.

K, that's all

Nose to the grindstone

Working in Toledo for the summer, then after June 13th i'll be taking Advanced Engineering Mathematics. If you think that sounds like just a shade more fun than a jab in the eye with a sharp stick, you're probably correct. Looks like this will be a fast summer, but i'm hoping to have a little fun....guess we'll find out in a little.

Summer is almost here

Thu, 07 Apr 2005 19:16:29 GMT

Man, I was downright hot yesterday. I guess i'm not complaining, but it seemed a little warm for april...eh, anyways. This semester is rolling along pretty fast. I heard an interesting analogy the other day, about how time seems to go faster as you age. To me, it makes sense. When you are young, say 5 or 6, each year that passes is a pretty large fraction of your lifetime. So after a year passes, at age six, it's 1/6 of your present lifetime. When you are 35 though, another passing year is 1/35 of your lifetime....which, when you look back, one year's not much compared to the 34 already behind you. So, I guess this is fairly logical.

Aside from that nonsense...it's been so busy. Anne turned 21....it was a good time, she recovered well (*L*) and seemed to enjoy herself. I carried her home and helped her through the night, as she did for me. We had a party the next night which was sweet. JP came up...and it was good to see him. Jammed with Josh Schmalz and Tebbs not too long ago. It was a good time....hadn't played together with Josh since high school and the short lived band, SYN. Good deal.

School still sucks....statics is the worst class i've had yet...just so much work...My other classes are going rather well though. I decided to take a summer class...yuck. I didn't even bother looking for a co-op this summer, but I guess it's okay, UT guaranteed me a job working for Res-Life, so I guess that's my answer again. At least it's a job. Hoping for another good summer, just wishing I could work on my D a little more than i'll prolly get to.

I guess that's it for now.

2005

Thu, 27 Jan 2005 20:22:54 GMT

Well 2005 started out with a bang....literally. My car spun out on me the first day back, on my way to work. I hit a curb and fucked up the rear end. It turns out that I had a bad rear bearing to start with. That caused the accident, not my driving, which makes me feel a little better. It also had bent the rear suspension all to shit. So now it's a total squirrel in ice and snow. So, tomorrow I head home to have it fixed up. Hopefully it won't be too bad. The bearing was over $200...i'm afraid of what the rear end components will cost. All and all i'm glad no one was hurt. And since I didn't file a police report and insurance claim...I won't get raped by having points added to my license or insurance rates soaring any higher...but still, the whole experiance left a nasty taste in my mouth.

Books we're less than 300 dollars this semester. I bought all but one online. Haha....see you in hell bookstore. Anne and I just celebrated two years together. That was sweet, we went out twice....and just chatted and enjoyed some alone time. She's so good to me, I couldn't ask for a better friend or lover :) School pretty much still sucks. I have 11 classes after this semester. Not bad by any means...but four of them all have to be taken in order. So because of prerequisites that I wasn't aware of, i'll prolly be in school two extra semesters. I guess it's just prolonging the inevitable....getting a real job and paying more expensive bills. Since there's no jobs anyways, I guess school isn't too bad.
So yeah...that sums up about ten minutes of my day's thoughts.....imagine the other 700 minutes worth of thoughts that go through there....yuck

Wed, 05 Jan 2005 03:03:44 GMT

Back in Toledo...it was a great break..wonderful Christmas...just way too short...I guess i'm kinda busy right now...so i'll actually update later. Ta ta.

Ahh, graduation...

Thu, 16 Dec 2004 03:52:54 GMT

Well, as this time of year rolls around again; I find myself a mix of emotions. Relieved to be done with finals. Anxious to get home with the family. Happy to be a semester closer to graduation....and for those who are graduating and moving on to their new lives in the real world. At the same time though, I am sad. I worry that I will ultimately lose these friends that helped me find myself. They gave me my nickname, although still somewhat overshadowed by what Tom gave me, which may easily stick with me forever. They got me drunk on my 21st, helped me break down the social barriers and stereotypes that suppressed me before. So many memories.....and now, they join the past....dripping away with time. And I fear that these memories will not be joined with new ones in this same fashion. But rather will fade and weather....So, I think for my New Years resolution this year....I will try something new. I hope to stay in touch with my friends that have moved on, and maybe even catch up with old ones, willing they still accept me. So, I guess that's it....but to close, I love you all. I'm not gonna guy it up and say that it's in a platonic sort of way....or say just as friends, but as a genuine truth....to all who have made me the person who I am today....and who lies just beyond the herizon.

The night cometh earlier

Mon, 25 Oct 2004 23:24:26 GMT

Dang, it's just after seven and it's dark. It's amazing how fast the winter months are coming. I actually kinda look forward to it. I love snow. That's right, I enjoy the cold, white, slippery, frozen, slush, ice, and even the wind. Granted, i'm not homeless...so I guess that could factor in there. Really, the only thing I hate about the winter is the idiot drivers out there whom cannot operate their vehicles once a few flurries fill the air. Like anything we have that is good, it is easily destroyed by stupid people. Now I understand that ice and snow can make roads slippery, but that's not a reason to drive 15 miles an hour on a road that is designed for 45 or 50. That is why they are DESIGNED for 45 or 50, not RECOMMENDED.

Well anyways, enough of that. I'm very excited for Christmas, as I have started thinking much about gifts to purchase for my family and Anne's. I do have a bit of a dilemma however. I have been invited to go on a ski trip with Anne and her engineering fraternity. This would come just after the new year. Should I decide to go, I don't think i'd be able to get everyone (much less anyone) presents for christmas. Now granted, presents are not what Christmas is about, i'm not implying their significance over Christ's birth. However, I would rather show the ones I love that I care, rather than spend the money on myself just so I can have some fun. So, what should I do? Hopefully I can figure out a way to do both. That's all for now, I guess its back to the books

Thu, 07 Oct 2004 02:17:53 GMT

Can't concentrate worth a crap today....heck this week. I've been so distracted lately. It's probably the thought of Fall Break beckoning from afar. I'm hoping to plow up the garden this weekend with Andy. I'm sure a lot of folks find that hilarious...but I freakin' can't wait. I think an ideal home for me would consist of 10 to 15 acres in which I could just kinda go around and plow and disk and pull out stumps for the better part of my life. Over the course of which I would continue to collect/restore old Deere. Of course this is an unlikely scenario of what will really happen. I'll probably be lucky to own an acre or two by the time i'm 40 and with kids and college and all that, i'll be lucky if I ever see a hobby farm or any other Antique John Deere tractors. I guess it all really comes down to having a family or be single and possibly lonely for the rest of my days...but get to do whatever ever I please. Maybe I can somehow hit that happy middlin'. I guess we'll see.

Why the hell do I even worry about this shit? I should really be looking over dum dum chemistry stuff or working on a lab or researching a project, but instead, here I am pondering my existence.

The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill

Sun, 26 Sep 2004 15:07:34 GMT

I had my first party at Hunter's Ridge last night after the big game. I think everything worked out good. A pretty good crowd showed up....I played my first game of strip poker, that was fun. Several of my friends complemented our apartment, and told me I was a good host, so I felt pretty darned good. Well anyways....that's about all for now....looks like another crazy busy week ahead of me, but fall break is on the herizon! Hoorah!
Later peeps!

Fri, 24 Sep 2004 03:46:53 GMT

Hoorah! It's Friday! That means I just have to work. Holy crap, I had a 25.4 oz Molson XXX tonight, and it totally wasted me! That's sweet...but yeah, I gotta get some zzz's...goodnight moon.

Sweet deal, I got gmail.

Mon, 13 Sep 2004 01:58:17 GMT

Well, I guess you're not cool if you don't use gmail....so yeah, my new email address is mkarney@gmail.com

I feel like i've been stressed out way too much already...i'm just now into the fourth week of school. Oh well...I guess that's what a full load of this crap will do. Chemistry is such a bitch class. I absolutely hate it. We've covered what I learned in Beursken's class all year, in just one class.

The 34th Annual LaGrange Engine Club Show is this weekend, and provided the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan doesn't sweep our area at said time, I should be there for the better part of the weekend. Maybe I'll see some of you guys and gals there, but probably not. Either way, i'm really hoping for nice weather and am very excited.

alright for now....

Holy crap

Man, it's been a while.....

Stayed in Toledo this summer....worked, had fun, and got a new and better apartment, with a good roomate to boot. I can't say that my old roomates were bad people, but I just couldn't live with them.

Tomorrow starts a new era in my tractor collection. I am taking my '46 B to Lima, OH and meeting a guy from Shirley, IN who has a '38 D. We are basically trading even up, his tractor is unrestored and a little rough, but he's throwing in new fenders...so I think it will be worth it. I'm a little sad to see my first restoration leave the comfort of our barn here....but very excited to gain a new project. Plus this new model is bigger, older, and more powerful. It's also a differant model, so i'll learn more about the "D" series!

I'm also taking 19 credit hours this semester. It's a shitload, but hopefully, one day before i'm too old to know what the fark is going on, it'll pay off!

That's just a shade of what's going one....i'm at 419-382-9348 now, give me a ring!

Erik left Toledo this morning. He drove to Florida where he will go to graduate school and then probably start his career. I got to hang out with him last night...one last time. He is a good friend of mine. I always admired and respected him so much. Sometimes I even tried to be him. He was smart, atheletic, had a sweet car, nice stuff, and smoked some damn good cigars. He had a great sense of humor and bought me beer when I was underage. We rocked out, talked about politics (yuck), played poker, watched movies...so many good times together....and now I realize that I probably won't ever get to do any of those things with him again. I guess it just goes to show, you never realize what you had until it's gone. I'll miss you buddy, and it was my pleasure and privilege to have known you.

Best wishes ~Awol

Why does eveything have to cause conflict? I've discovered that family belongings can stir alot of unknown interests, tension, and frustration. My grandpa had an old guitar amp that my dad ended up buying from him. My cousin was very interested in it and when he found out, he became a little bit perturbed that we ended up with it. Obvisouly there is a lot of sentimental value with it...not to mention that it's a vintage 60's amp...But whether Dad, Uncle Dan or John, or any of my dad's sisters families had gotten it, someone else would've been miffed. So what do you do about something like this...? I just hope that dumb shit like this doesn't lead to family problems...especially since I really love my whole family...even though we're so huge and we all have our differences and whatnot....oh well, gotta get some sleep, I got a bunch of finals to take tomorrow, wednesday, and thursday

Three more months of hell

Thu, 15 Apr 2004 14:52:56 GMT

So, how do you, after six months of living with them, get your room mates to clean up after themselves? I just don't get it. It really isn't that hard to either put food away when you done eating it, or throw it out. NOT FUCKING HARD! Good Lord, I just can't understand it! Instead they'll leave it out, on the stove, rotting and molding until it smells so bad, that entering our apartment will induce vomiting. I've really had it here folks, this might turn into violence. I absolutely cannot wait for next year to start...only 3 more months of shit-heads to deal with, then I can live an apartment with a civil room mate who acts like a human, instead of a neanderthal.

Well kids, as some of you know I turned 21 friday...and wow, what a night. I was so sloshed I couldn't even walk...let alone sit upright...Hell of a time at Mutz....man, good friends! Last night I had a party, i'm guessing at least sixty or more guests were in attendence...it made me feel good to have so many friends wishing me happy b-day and getting down with us. I missed my peeps from back home, ...but was very happy that J.P. and Saccardi could make up here...what a time...thanks to all who made this the best weekend ever! And thanks Anne for carrying me home friday night and for DD-ing...
