It All Started When… Monday, February 24th, 2003

…David’s suitemate apparently told David he was aging pretty fast. David is apparently mentally, physically, and even emotionally drained. He is so drained that at this point in his life he has never been this drained before. And it all started with his Math32 class. He walked in, as thousands of faces stared at him uninpendingly. That’s right, David’s thoughts make up words. Anyway, he sat down beside a guy whose face never seemed to be shown. The light somehow darkened around his face. As David brought out his 5-Star notebook, the guy grabbed a hold of David’s shoulder and spoke into his ear: “You think it starts here….just wait two fortnights, you will be drained……..” and then David looked over to the guy and he was never there.

David left Math32, running in desperation back to his dorm to play Xbox, his favorite gaming console. David loves Microsoft and can’t get enough of Xbox. Hoping that it would get his mind of the shady figure, David put in some Dead or Alive Volleyball and played a couple of rounds. Then he went to bed. Waking up, David went to Math32 the next day. He has Math32 everyday of the week including Sunday. He loves math so much he just had to have it. Anyway, David went months without seeing the figure. Then, out of nowhere, David’s suitemate said he started to look older. David hadn’t noticed because after all, he sees himself everyday. Sort of like you don’t notice if you have gained weight or lost it. David went back to his dorm after the comment and looked in the mirror. His skin was hanging off his bones. He couldn’t believe it. David tried to pick up his bookbag to go to Math32 again, but his arms wouldn’t let him. The lactic acid built up in his body like heat builds up in his Taurus. He couldn’t help it. He passed out. Waking up the next day, David learned that Duke, his favorite college basketball team, lost their game. Everything was going wrong. He lost his job at Kentucky Fried Chicken, his best job yet. He loved scooping potato salad out with ice cream scoops. Gone. All gone. David looked into the sky in desperation. Something had to be going right. Then he remembered…StarCraft was being released for console! He rejoiced, as he hates StarCraft games on PC and enjoyed the Nintendo 64 version greatly. After all, one thing was going right. RAISE HELL David thought. I’m going to go get some whores and get shitfaced. He went out, torched some Myst books, his own personal worst book series, and threw down four bottles of Bacardi 151. He had his laptop and played some Unreal Tournament on his GeForce 4 Go. Then, after being seriously shitfaced, David went back to his dorm. The shady faced man was wating. He pushed david down and said “I know why you are tired david. I am draining your energy.” And with that, he raised his hands and started to zap David’s energy. LIFE FORCE……..DRAINING David cried out. No one was there to help. Then, after a lengthy session of life force drainage, the man erased David’s memory, and today David still doesn’t know why he is so tired.

you’re never really asleep, you’re never really awake Monday, February 24th, 2003

I feel like Jack in the first part of fight club right now, especially the part where he arrives at the airport only to find out the flight doesn’t leave for another two hours. I just tried to go to class an hour early, after rushing through lunch and all but running to get there on time, and I walk in and some other dude is teaching some other class. Yep, I thought it was 1:00 instead of noon. Damn. I woke up at 4:30 this morning to help out someone with making food for the homeless at the shelter. Most of them were nice but of course there were a couple whowould still cop an attitude for no reason after you’ve just woken up that early to go down there and make food for them to eat for free. Then I finally came back and slept through one class, and proceeded to go early to another one.

Also today, while waiting for the buss, was talking to my suitemate about different stuff. THe only significance of that conversation was him telling me that when he saw me the other day, it looked like I had aged 10 years in 2 months. Fun stuff, though he’s probably right. I really don’t feel like getting into details, but its easy to say that I am probably more physically, mentally, and emotionally drained right now than I ever have been before, for a variety of reasons.

But yeah, depressing sounding post probably but I’ve still been having fun, its just I usually don’t think to post about that.

Avril Lavigne didn’t get one grammy. MWUAHAHAHAHA!!! On the other hand, Norah Jones, who I have listened to before my second HD crash, didn’t deserve all of them (albeit she is still a good artist)

Man In the Box Saturday, February 22nd, 2003

So far my classes aren’t too bad. I made an 87 on my Old Testament Literature test, and a nice 85 on my very first Logic I test. Not too bad. It is raining for once up here in Boone. This is like the first time it has rained instead of snowed for a VERY long time. Me, Brandon and Melanie hit up Wal-Mart yesterday and I picked up some AA batteries for my mouse and got some paper plates and Sudafed imitation. Then we went to Harris Teeter and I bought a cubic asslode of food for the dorm. Last night, I stayed up late and played loud music (i.e. Metallica, Super Mario Brothers rap remixes, etc.). We used some hair spray and a lighter to make a flame thrower sort of thing. Then I screwed around on The Sims House Party and put around 50 refridgerators in my front yard, and put up bull horns and plants all over my house and on the inside as well. My people couldn’t even stand up. I don’t see what the big deal is about The Sims. Not that fun. Right now I am plasting Led Zeppelin - Kashmir really loud. Hell yeah! They finally painted our wall in our lobby of my floor white. It used to be a girly mural of a living room painted on the wall. Now it’s just white, and boy, I am pissed! Now we look like the rest of the floors. SUCK.

Unfortunately, I have been caught up in the “I like cars too much” mood again that is undoubtedly the result of my family bloodline, and now I have been downloading videos of illegal street racing and stuff. Man I want a McLaren F1. Those things are so damn fast! Realistically, I want something more along the lines of a Cavalier LS like Michael’s or something. Something with some push, but not too expensive. I also want to get back into sound systems when I get out of college. That would be nice. I like to drive and I like music. Makes sense! Anyway, the videos I downloaded consist of illegal marathon “Cannonball Runs” so to speak. I found some videos of the Gumball 3000, where they race across entire countries and stuff. It was funny to see cops chasing Ferarri F50s and V12 Vanquishes and Porsches through Texas. They pulled off some awesome shit though, the exotic cars. They were passing on the emergency lane and cutting through traffic with inches left over. It was awesome.

On to movies. After viewing trailers for a plethora of movies, I have inferred the following:
Fast and Furious 2 is going to suck.
I find this movie strangly fascinating. I think it’s Crispin Glover’s fault. And the fact that BULLET WITH BUTTERFLY WINGS IS IN THE TRAILER
This looks very good.
I honeslty have no fucking clue what the fuck this is EVER supposed to be. EVER. WHAT IS IT?? I DON’T UNDERSTAND!!!
This is pathetic and retarded. The tank part at the end where he slings it is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.
David I found that trailer me and you were in awe of.
This new Russel Crowe movie looks alright. Pirates, argh!
Ebert had a coniption over this shit. It looks pretty good. Looks like Cage has nailed being a twin.
