another episode? i didnt think so either...

im listening to the he score, he shoot podcast. the second one. apparently i have to step up my game on this web-log. (ill just say that i love hearing all of the stories that ive heard a million times, but this time, they are online.)

but i must take a break to talk about something a little more interesting... so, im reading this book called 100 ways america is screwing up the world and ill say, not one have i really disagreed with yet (but im not gonna lie and say i completely understand all of the jargon associated with some of it). in the top 10 is wal-mart, global warming, oil, agribusiness,tv, vietnam, to name a few. i knew stuff like this could make me mad, but wow, im impressed at what a good job john tirman is doing here.

another thing, you know when you put in the time and energy and you really work hard and you feel like you deserve that promotion, or open position at work, but they give it to that girl you dont like who wasnt even qualified for the last job they gave her... like i said to one of my good friends today, i feel like loyalty and time spent means nothing anymore. i was so mad earlier, the only thing i could compare to how i felt was being stabbed in the back. but, the good thing, i suppose, is that im being "recommended" for an assistant position. and not the cool well paid executive assistant part either.

i just want to move home and send my resumes to all of those lame jobs that i know i could do better than and just sit behind a big desk beyond big, fancy, glass doors and play receptionist. at least ill get a pay check that i might be able to pay some of my bills with. who knows, as long as its not for wal-mart, perhaps even some benefits.

thanks greener for linking me to he score, he shoot. maybe someone will read me now.

and ps. no, she wont listen to your podcast until i send it to her...

and i almost forgot, there were some dumb people at a school board in tennessee who openly broke sunshine laws... on the news! try to get out of that one.

you call that entertaining?

my boyfriend (some of you out there may know him as his alter ego: moose) and his friends have a hockey blog. so, he and one of the guys (greener) decided they wanted to start podcasting. haha. the f-word flowed from greener's mouth like water from a well. any other day, id say clean it up, but hey, like they said, its what they do all the time, and that just wouldnt be them...

so far, work is ok. the pool opened last monday, but its supposed to rain for the next week, and the new pool at the apartment wont be done until the end of june... then why even plan for it to exist this summer? ugh.

life around here is pretty plain. a baseball game here, and a trip to the market there.

im tired of everyone saying big brown this and big brown that. some of my friends and i are hoping he wins in 3 weeks so the next few years are free of coulda, woulda, shouldas. either way, congratulations to the connections.

i hope the weather will clear up more this week so i can enjoy the pool...

a long, tumultuous journey

this last month has been pretty suck.

i realized im dead broke. and that i have to spend the summer not at home.

finals week kicked my ass, but in hindsight, maybe if i had done any of my work during the semester... yeah. ill get on that for next year. ha!

my little brother got married and i couldnt go.

i forgot to do the important things like meet deadlines. there goes that procrastinating again...

a few good things: one of my very good friends came in from New York to visit. the semester is finally over! and, well, they are finally digging the pool at my apartments (and the one on campus is open next week). i got to see some other good friends this weekend. and a ton of my bitches graduated friday.

im attempting a new venture in the morning, no details will be released until a decision is made... aka: ill let you know more later...

oh, and im getting a new roommate in the fall! i love her and she is the best. i just hope i dont corrupt her in my evil ways. haha!!

i reached the first milestone on the beer tour: i got a deck of cards. needless to say, it was well worth it!

the summer is upon us, i guess it officially started wednesday night for me though.

i hope to be more regular in my posting as i wont have school to "distract" me. ha! school... distract me... haha!

and to eight belles and all of the wonderful, beautiful animals who we lose after a big win, may you rest in peace and come back to us in another life.

shady-pi

friends come and go, but sisters are forever... i am really feeling that one right now...

oh, and boys worry me. especially one in particular. (thanks for being so understanding... you can still send me flowers though...)

i went out the other night to world beer tour and i had lots of fun. one of my neighbors ended up leaving with two italian guys' numbers. then she has to pay 25 cents to send and 15 to receive their texts... haha..

and, i havent watched any baseball all season so far. depressing. maybe that would help my quality of life. too bad i work every night or have class or another obligation... but at least half of the games start at like 9 my time...

oh, the invitations git rave reviews. yeah!

ps. im over you.

i love my job!

can i just say that im so glad i have the ability to do design and stuff? it is so much fun to be able to show my skills even though im not working for the paper this semester.

it just makes me happy, and i get to have my ideas at the forefront because im the one who is making them! i love it because no one is submitting and sending ugly and crappy invitations and fliers and stuff.

i got a reply about that magazine article. even though i was a day late sending the pictures, the editor was glad that i worked with my situation even though my situation (the weather) wasnt working for me.

anyway. im just excited.

ugh! im over it...

my brain is gone! i had to do about 60 pages of paperwork for my organization that was due yesterday. it took me about 4 straight days, but i finally got it finished. i got to the point where i started having dreams about it! then, yesterday i started losing my mind! haha.

i left my purse at work...

my e-mail wouldnt send... then i was up all night trying to get it to work...

my phone woke me up this morning, but it was more welcome than the alarm that went off about 2 minutes later...

the smoke alarms in my apartment are going out, so they are starting to beep randomly. ugh, its annoying.

i was in a bad mood and mean to my boyfriend last night...

but i will say, i was laughing, then i took a drink, and started laughing again... newcastle almost came out my nose! ooh, it burned...

the good thing is that my university inaugurated its new president so classes were canceled this morning. so, i did get to sleep in a little... until the phone rang...

i did get to climb the other day. it was a really good time. my friends took some pictures to send to a magazine im going to be in this summer. yeah!

tonight my intramural softball team has a double header! we are 2-0 right now, undefeated! unlike my favorite MLB team... 1-1...

its been a pretty hectic last week or so. i hope i can get some real relaxing time pretty soon...

Jess is a Mess

im jess. everyone, coincidently, calls me a mess. i guess im just that goofy that everyone thinks of me the same way. and its convenient that its a lot like my name, jess...

im not that much of a mess though. im a pretty neat person, i like to keep a clean house and all. but i guess my life could be a little less messy. i mean, im not into illicit activities or anything, i just like to procrastinate and, well, put forth as little effort as i can get away with a lot of the time. well, that is when i dont really want to.

like school. im over school. im pretty sure that mindset has been in place since the fourth grade when i didnt want to do my spelling homework on days i had my gifted class. if i ever had to go back to my regular class and the teacher asked where it was, i always said it was in the other class. she knew i was full of shit.

and work. i love my job. but i also love sitting on my ass. i work at a rock climbing wall. my boss says we are really there to supervise, not necessarily do anything, and im gonna go ahead and go with that one. i love to just sit there and watch people climb and be fools. dont get me wrong, i like climbing too, im just not always in the mood.

as for my extracurriculars. well, i do most of what im supposed to on that front. i have a huge stack of paperwork due tuesday, and its pretty much done. i just have to finish it... like i said, pretty much...

oh well. im sure there are plenty of other constructive things i could be doing other than creating a new blog, but ive been planning on doing this for a little while now. see, always procrastinating...
