Easy week was easy

Today was decent, I guess. My theater exam was really easy and I'm certain I got an A or B on it. Other than that, nothing special happened academic wise.

What was nice though, was on my way to math class, some guy went up to me, asked if I was in a hurry, which was a good call for him, and I wasn't so I listened to what he had to say. He said he was following the words of Jesus Christ, or that's what I think he said. Something to do with Christianity. Now, I'm not that religious of a person. I'm caught between Greek Orthodox, Agnostic, and Atheist and it's not my thing to be honest. But what he had to say was great, and I'm not being sarcastic. He guessed that I do a lot with music because I was listening to music at the time and asked if I played guitar and wrote music. I said that I did play guitar but never got around to writing music. It was pretty impressive that he guessed that, he also guessed that I had 2 older brothers, which was strange since I only have a younger sister. But he also told me to not live life the way I'm expected to, and I'm way ahead of that statement and told him that, which he agreed on. He was one of the coolest guys I've met on campus, and was very nice and it makes me happy to see that people like him are going around through the day trying to make their days better, which is what he said he was doing when talking to me. This is how a proper Christian should act, not like those fundamentalist scumbags. I really appreciated the kindness and encouragement from him and told him to have a great day as well. That was a neat highlight of my day.

What wasn't a good thing though was that one of my really good friends who I met here at college withdrew from the University. He missed too many days of classes and had to withdraw to avoid getting kicked out. That sucks. I feel bad for him, and he was also one of the coolest people I've met here who also listens to the majority of music I listen to. But the good thing about it is that he's gonna be working a lot at Lou Milnati's back where he lives, so he'll have enough money to go to the Overkill and Cannibal Corpse shows next month, and any other future shows. But that sucks for the most part. At least he has a job back home, so that's really good for him.

And that sums up my day today. It had its ups and downs, but was decent overall. I just have a real short math quiz tomorrow on one subject which I actually understand, so it shouldn't give me too much trouble. What's planned for the rest of the night - Soul Silver! It's really helped the week go by fast, and I'm gonna try to avoid playing it this weekend back, home so it seems to go by slow. All I have planned for the weekend is to work and hopefully get Obituary tickets. I'm hoping tomorrow will be a good day, this week has been great so far.

Blech

Today was good. My COMS class got canceled, so that was neat. I also didn't have English at all, and my math teacher got into a car accident which really sucks. I hope he's fine, he's a good teacher and an awesome guy. We had a substitute today for math who was the teacher for the other side of my math class, and he had no idea what we were doing so I left about 15 minutes in. So really, I only had one class today when I usually have four! The remaining time of the day I played more Soul Silver and that's what I plan on doing tomorrow as well, aside from my Theater exam which I'm going to study for after the new South Park.

And that's about it. Hopefully I can do good on my Theater exam and have a great day overall.

Yay weather

Today was pretty good. I didn't really do anything special, just play Pokémon Soul Silver for a good portion of the day. Again, that game is awesome. I plan on doing that for the rest of the night since I don't have anything important tomorrow.

...And that's really it. Again, nothing special happened today, but here's to hoping that something will tomorrow and it will be a great day.

Soul Silver

Yesterday and today were pretty good. Yesterday I didn't really do anything during the day and worked in the afternoon. I made $50 that night, which was awesome. I'm depositing whatever I can into my bank account next weekend. I'm also working both Friday and Saturday as well, so that's a lot of time taken up, but still good, because I need the money. After I get Obituary tickets, I'm definitely saving up for an Ibanez 7-String guitar. It's going to be one hell of a task, but I think I can do it. There's a Sam Ash about 20 minutes from me apparently, so I'm going to check it out on Saturday and see what they have.

The main highlight of today was me failing my math quiz that I saw coming from a mile away..... Just kidding, I got Pokémon Soul Silver! It's an amazing game and brings back great memories of Gold and Silver. I've made decent progress so far, and since I only have one class tomorrow and no homework, I'm gonna spend whatever free time I have on it. It's better than wasting time on last.fm and playing Solitaire. I've also named my characters and Pokémon after death metal and black metal artists (Dallas, Horgh, Chuck, etc.) so I'm going to have even more fun with this!

That's about it really. I have a Theater test on Thursday which should be easy because we go over what's going to be on the test the class before. Hopefully tomorrow will be good, especially with the improved weather compared to the weekend.

119 days!

I didn't update last night because I got home from my friend's house at 1 A.M. and went to bed right after. Friday was pretty crappy to start with but got better near the end of work and on. It was good seeing close friends that I haven't seen in a while. Aside from that, nothing really special happened on Friday. I think I bombed my math quiz, but I shall have to see on Monday.

Today was good. I got Iron Maiden tickets! They were listed as $31, but since Ticketmaster is collaborating with LiveNation, thus having those damn service fees, they were $41. I also had to get my friend one too, so I paid $82 total. He gave me $20, which is all he had at the time, so he owes me another $20, but I can wait, it's not that big of a deal. I deposited that along with another $20 from me, so we're both halfway there with paying off our tickets. My sister was generous enough to give me $36 today for driving her everywhere for the past couple of weeks, so I'm gonna deposit $20 of that in the bank to pay off my ticket and wait for my friend to give me his $20. I have to get my money from Friday, and I'm also working tomorrow, so that's more money for me! Hopefully I'll have enough for Pokemon Soul Silver then, which is the next thing I plan on getting. If not, I can wait, it's not my top priority to get it at all. After I do get it, though, the next thing on my list is Obituary tickets. Those are $25 if I remember correctly, which is a sweet deal. I'm sure I'll have enough in a couple of weeks.

Apparently I wasn't working tonight, so I went to my cousin's birthday party. It's always great to see the family gathered together and having fun. I got some dessert for the room back at college, so that's nice.

Because I don't know how late I'm getting off of work tomorrow, I plan on driving back to Northern on Monday morning, so I have to get up at 6 A.M. It's not a big deal, but I have a COMS exam that morning! I'm pretty sure I'm screwed for it, but the speeches and papers I'm doing for that class make up for it, so that's decent.

And aside from all that, the past 2 days were good overall. I'm hoping that tomorrow is going to be good, as well as the upcoming week.

I did good on my speech?!

Today was pretty good. Not only do I not have English classes all next week, but I don't have any Geography classes next week as well! So I only have 3 classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2 classes on Thursday, and 1 class on Tuesday all next week! That's some good time off.

I checked my grade for my informative speech in my COMS class, and I got a B+! I thought it was pretty crappy considering I got it all done at the last second, but I'm very happy with that grade! I have to attend some public speaking event and write a paper on that, and I have no clue what I'm going to do. I'm sure I'll be fine.

And even better news for me, I'm the first to get off tomorrow at work! I managed to work it out with my co workers so I can get off work early and hang out with some of my friends that I haven't seen in quite a while. I'm also working Saturday and Sunday, so I may be able to get Pokémon Soul Silver next week if I get my money. If not, I can still wait.

That's about it for today. I don't have English class tomorrow, so that's pretty nice, but I still have German homework to do and a math quiz to study for. Hopefully those and tomorrow go well.

Happy St. Patricks Day

Today was... eh, I guess good. Nothing special happened really. There was nothing going on in my classes which was good I guess because of no work, but still boring.

I decided that I'm getting lawn tickets for Iron Maiden because they're $31 and I'm sure some of my friends will get their tickets later. Seat tickets are $55 and up, which I REALLY don't have the money for. I'm sure the lawn will be fine. After I buy the tickets on Saturday morning, I'm gonna start to save up for Pokémon Soul Silver. I haven't played Pokémon in years, but I get nostalgic with it still, so I'm gonna get it. It's $40, so it won't be that horrible to save up for. Hopefully I can work as much as possible on the weekends to get that.

Today was St. Patrick's day, and I'm sure a good 3/4, if not more, are celebrating by drinking their asses off. I find drinking at college to be incredibly boring, overrated, and cliché. I only really drink with my family, and that's one beer at the most. The gym was pretty much deserted since everyone was drinking by then, so that was awesome. My floor went out too, so it's quiet for once! Yep, St. Patrick's Day distracts everyone away to the parties I find horrible.

One thing that gets me pissed off is that it's supposed to be in the fucking 30s next week! It's 60 all of a sudden this week, and it just fucking drops 30 degrees the next week?! Ugh, I was planning on bringing up my guitar to play outside next week too! Fucking bullshit.

And that's about it. I'm hoping tomorrow will be good. I don't have anything planned out, so we'll see what the day has in store for me.

I need money!

Today was good as well. It was also the best day outside this year so far. It was high 50s low 60s, and holy crap was it awesome! I didn't even need to wear a hoodie! I'm hoping it stays like this! It's supposed to be even better the rest of the week, which is awesome!

Nothing really happened in my classes today, which is no surprise. I dread going to these damn auditorium classes, they bore me to death. I don't think I have anything going on tomorrow in my classes, which is good.

One sort of bad thing is that I was rescheduled to work on Friday instead of Saturday this weekend, and my friends from other colleges are gonna be back on Friday and I was planning on hanging out with them. Even worse is that I have to close on Friday. Right now I'm working it out so that I can work on Saturday. I haven't seen some of my friends in a long time, and it would be nice to see them again this weekend. I'm sure it will work out good. Also, I'm only working every other Saturday instead of every Saturday, which is horrible timing, because I need money! I want to get Iron Maiden tickets first before anything because I'm certain it will sell out, so I need those tickets! I'm sure I can fill in for some people so I can get money.

So overall, today was good. I'm sure that the work stuff will get better and I can make more money. Hopefully tomorrow will be good like today and yesterday.

Good start to the week!

Today was awesome! I had to give my speech about the history of metal music today, which I should have given on Friday the 5th, but due to scheduling conflicts I got pushed back. But aside from that, the speech went great! I think I did decent and got a good grade. I had to make some last minute changes last night with it too. I got rid of the black metal part altogether and put in a part about how metal music impacted society, which I thought was a big improvement.

I had a German quiz today which I know I bombed, but I don't care really, I'm sure I'll do good in the class because I ace the homework and tests which make up most of the grade. And I got an 84% on my math exam from before break! I'm extremely happy about that because I'm retaking my discrete math course now and it's good to see that I've improved a lot with it.

I also worked out for the first time in over a week, and holy crap I was sweating like crazy. This is what happens when I don't do anything for a week and a half and come back to working out. I took it easy on the weights because I didn't want to risk tearing anything, but I'm sure I'll be back to my usual routine soon enough. I'm tired as hell right now from working out, and I'm lucky because I don't have anything due for tomorrow, so I can relax.

Overall, today was great. I'm hoping tomorrow will be the same and that the week goes by fast.

Weekend Recap - Awesome!

I got back home this morning from Chicago, and it was one hell of a weekend! It was great spending time with friends and checking out new places for me. There was also some great food downtown as well! I had a great time overall, and while I probably won't go back for the rest of the school year because of everyone's schedule, I do hope to go back next year!

That sounds like a basic summary of what happened at UIC, but I wanna get into talking about the Kreator concert!


The picture gets cut off in the blog. For anyone who actually reads this, click on the picture to see the whole thing!


















































This show was at The Bottom Lounge, which as I was told, was in "the ghetto." Bullshit, it was a sketchy area at most because it was night time and foggy as well. Nothing bad about it really. I've never been there before, but I can say now that it's a nice venue! They're lenient about rules; as long as you're not a dumbass you're fine. I don't think they allowed crowdsurfing at all, but no one did it to begin with, probably because the stage was very small. The place didn't really seem full, which was strange. I'd think that there would be a lot more people there. The show clearly didn't sell out. Onto the bands now...

Lazarus A.D. - I've been listening to them for a while now and liked what I heard, so I was looking forward to them live. They did put on a good show, but the crowd wasn't really into them. A few pits broke out but that's about it, which was pretty weak. Other than that, I look forward to seeing them with Overkill in April again!

Evile - Like Lazarus A.D., I have been listening to Evile for a while too, and just like Lazarus yet again, the crowd sucked. I was surprised, Evile makes some damn good music but no one really got into it. I thought they were awesome and I can't wait to see them again with Overkill next month as well!

Nachtmystium - I didn't really like them. They weren't terrible, but not good to me as well. What was more surprising was that more people liked them better than Lazarus and Evile. There were bigger pits for Nachtmystium and a better response from the crowd even though they didn't interact with them whatsoever. It was weird.

Voivod - I heard bad things about them live, but really, they put on one hell of a show! Everyone was into them and the pits really started to go when they came on. I never really listened to Voivod before, but I am now and I really like what I hear! It makes me glad when a band I have never heard of or listened to impresses me live and gets me into their music. Their stage presence was amazing and they performed well. If they ever come back to Chicago, I'm definitely going to see them again!

Kreator - The headlining act, and what do you know? They were awesome! The pits were at their full potential, and I think I lost 10 pounds altogether that night from it! They had an amazing set and performed flawlessly, which was basically what I expected from them. Before they came on, the guy doing sound check for their instruments got into a fight with a kid throwing stuff at him and both got kicked out of the venue, which was pretty damn funny. But anyway, Kreator is definitely in the top 5 greatest live bands that I've seen for me.

So overall, it was an amazing show. The crowd could be better, especially for the opening acts, but I still met some cool people who were into the show, one of which whom I mistook for the frontman of Evile. That was pretty dumb and embarrassing on my part, but I didn't really care. Hopefully Kreator comes back to Chicago and I see them again!



And that sums up that show. I did see Titus Andronicus the next day at Reckless Records in Wicker Park. It was a free show and two of my friends love them, so we went. I couldn't really see them because so many people were in front of us in the store, but the sound was great and they still put on a great show nonetheless. It was nice seeing them for free, and I'd love to see them again, but they're coming to Chicago next month on a Wednesday, and I don't really have the time or money for it, but whatever, maybe some other time.



That was basically my weekend. It was one hell of a weekend, and a great spring break as well! I'm covered with new music to listen to for a while now and I hope this week goes by fast. I have to present a speech tomorrow which I should have done on the 5th, but scheduling conflicts with my class ruined it for me. I gotta run through it a couple times tonight and tomorrow morning to get it right. Hopefully that and the rest of the day goes well for me.

Hurr durr I forgot about this...

UIC/Kreator tomorrow!

Today, like the past 2 days, was boring as hell. It was pretty much raining all day which made it very gloomy outside, so I had nothing to do really. I did make big progress on The Great Plains, the song I'm learning on guitar, so that's good. I just can't wait for tomorrow though, I'm going to UIC! I'm planning on leaving tomorrow morning around 10:30, the train is at 10:45. I don't know what I'm doing when I get there with my friend, since my friend that we're visiting more than likely has class, but at 5 P.M. we're gonna start walking towards The Bottom Lounge venue, which is where I'm seeing Kreator! It's supposed to rain all weekend, but that won't stop me from having fun! On Saturday I'm seeing Titus Andronicus for free at a record store and then we're going to Kuma's Corner after. I originally planned on leaving Sunday morning, but my friend is gonna go home Saturday night after Kuma's, so I'm going with him. It's a better idea now that I think about it.

I won't be on at all from when I leave tomorrow to when I get back Saturday night. When I do get back though, I'll write about my weekend and the two concerts I went to. It's gonna be a fun weekend!

Blah

I forgot to post a blog last night, but there really wasn't any need to, yesterday was boring as hell and I literally did nothing. Today was decent at least, but still rather boring. I went to Woodfield Mall and got a new shirt from Spencer Gifts that says "Emo is just an excuse for boys to act like bitches" and has a guy pinching a heart above it. I'd post the picture here but I can't find one. It was $14, so it was totally worth it for that awesome of a shirt. Aside from that I did nothing today.

I'm actually leaving for UIC Friday morning due to schedule conflicts with some friends, but it's fine with me, and now that I think about it, it makes more sense to leave Friday morning. In the meantime, I'm hoping tomorrow will be productive and fun, today and yesterday were pretty damn boring.

Summer tours galore!

Today was pretty good. I deposited $114 in my debit card and then went to Fox Valley mall and got a new wallet that came with a chain which I plan on using for concerts only. I really have no need to have it on me at all times, but only for concerts so I won't lose it. I also ordered a Necrophagist shirt, which looks incredibly sick.



























Those are the seven deadly sins on the back. I find it amazing and wondered why I didn't pick this up at Summer Slaughter when I had the chance. Probably because I didn't start listening to them (and 3/4 of the lineup) until after the show. Oh well. I'm trying to sell all the shirts I don't wear and getting new shirts from Zumiez or any other good band shirts.

Another thing I spent my money on was Pestilence tickets! Pestilence are doing a tour of the U.S. over the summer for the first time in 16 years! What's better is that Warbringer and Vital Remains are supporting acts! They're coming to Chicago on June 14th, and I already got my tickets! They were $18, so that's a great price. It's at Reggie's Rock Club, which I've never been to, so that should be a fun experience.

I didn't really do anything else for the rest of the day. I got a Nintendo 64 emulator for my computer and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for it, so that will keep me occupied when I'm bored at college. I also played my guitar for the first time in a few weeks, which was pretty fun. I've been busy so I had no time for it really. I'm trying to learn The Great Plains by Scale the Summit, which is going well so far, but I only started about an hour ago. I'll probably pick up where I left off with it tomorrow when I can actually use my amp.

That's about it. I'm hoping tomorrow will be good and productive for me.

This beats yesterday

Today was really good, especially compared to yesterday. I got new jeans and a hoodie which both fit awesome! I also got a small hair trim, which I thought was unnecessary but was actually helpful. Hopefully my hair grows out better now, which I'm sure it will. I also saw The Crazies, which wasn't really good in my opinion. Some of the deaths were interesting, but the plot overall just sucked. I would not recommend seeing it to anyone who actually reads this. But I did see it with some of my friends, so that made it better. I also saw the trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and that comes out on April 30th, the day after I see Cannibal Corpse. If I survive Cannibal Corpse, I'm planning on seeing it on opening night with a friend.

I'm home alone for the next 3-4 days because I have spring break while my sister has school and my parents have work, so I'm home alone for a while. I plan on going to Fox Valley Mall tomorrow during the day to just look around and be somewhat productive, but I'll more than likely end up getting a new wallet with a chain, because I actually need that.

That's about it for today. I'm hoping tomorrow goes great as well, maybe I'll hang out with people tomorrow night too.

From Saturday Night

I got home last night at 12:30 and went to bed right after, so I didn't have time to update this last night. Yesterday pretty much sucked. Work was brutal, I kept fucking up all over the place and I was there til 11:30 when I actually needed to be somewhere. I didn't do anything before besides drive people around places, so that didn't help my day. The one good thing about my day was that the weather was amazing, so I could actually have my windows down when I drive.

That's about it really. I don't plan on working for a while, maybe Monday, but my co worker has to get back to me. I hope today isn't as crappy as yesterday.

Spring Break!!!!

Today had its ups and downs, one of the downs being me staying up til 2 A.M. working on my informative speech and not being able to present today. There were too many people presenting today and there wasn't enough time for me to present. Good going on the teacher's part. Now I get to present on the 15th, after break!

Other than that, nothing special happened in my classes other than half of the class not showing up to German and English. I didn't go to math because I wanted to get home as soon as possible, and we were literally doing nothing today as far as I know. But that doesn't matter now, I have a week off of school! I plan on working for the first half of break and going to University of Illinois in Chicago on the night of the 11th til the morning of the 14th.

Work was okay, I had to close again which kinda sucks but it gets me more money which I need for concert tickets. I plan on getting Iron Maiden tickets the day they come out and Obituary tickets at some point.

I also noticed that I can only take 2 days off of work this summer for my summer job as opposed to 3 the past 2 years. That kinda helps, since the 2 I initially had planned to take off were Thursday and Sunday, so I'm done there! I'm gonna have to drop that work schedule sheet off on Monday or something.

That pretty much sums up my day. Tomorrow should be decent, I don't plan on doing anything really other than going to the White Chocolate Factory restaurant with my dad, so that's gonna be fun, that place is awesome! I'm also gonna ask my dad if I can borrow his L.A. Fitness pass for the week because I want to keep on working out over break, or at least Sunday through Thursday. Friday could count as a work out because I'm seeing Kreator that day, and I plan on going in the pit for them and whoever plays. Yep, this next week is gonna be great!

Now I can't wait for the summer even more!

Today was pretty good. I bombed the hell out of the Theater quiz I took, but I just looked now and saw that I got a 96% on my Theater test I took a week ago! I'm happy about that! The math exam went decent. I'm hoping for a C at most, and I'm sure I did that, but if I did better that would be great as well. Tomorrow I just have my speech about the history of metal music to give at 9 A.M., 3 more classes to go to and I'm done! I'm sure that no one is gonna be in any of my classes tomorrow. They all probably want to start spring break early, to be honest, I don't blame them. But I want to do good with my grades and college career so I'm going to my classes.

After I'm done with my classes I have to go straight to work, which is good, I really need the money now because (this is what made my day so much better)......

IRON MAIDEN AND DREAM THEATER ARE TOURING OVER THE SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!

They're coming to Tinley Park on Sunday, July 18th! I'm so happy I decided to take off Sundays from my work schedule! I plan on getting really good seat tickets, which will probably cost me at least $60, but it's totally worth it to see two awesome bands in one show. Maiden kicked ass two years ago when I saw them, and they're gonna do it again this summer! I can't wait!

That's about it for today. Hopefully tomorrow will be good, and I'm sure it will be.

Coincidentally enough, there are a shit ton of parties going on tonight because of spring break, but I'm not going because they are crap. I might rant about them in another blog when I feel more up to it, but right now I just wanna relax and then practice my speech.

Math exam tomorrow... Oh boy

Today was... meh. Pretty boring actually, probably because English got canceled and that's a fun class because of all the discussions we have. Aside from that, I aced my German test, so that's cool. However, I'm not looking forward to the Math exam I have tomorrow. It's gonna be a pain in the ass and I gotta start studying once I'm done with this post. I also have a theater quiz tomorrow, but that's easy stuff, so I'm not worried.

In other good news, the weather is significantly improving, meaning that it's getting warmer out and there's no more snow to be expected! Speaking of which, I'm no longer sick! I guess that "meh" was more of a good when describing my day overall.

So tomorrow is going to be fairly busy. I gotta print out the remaining slides for Geography, go to Geography, study for theater a bit, practice my speech for Friday, go to theater, practice my speech for Friday, take my math exam, and more than likely practice my speech more. Yeah, what a fun day I have in store for me! Hopefully everything goes well, especially with my math exam.

Spring break come on!

Today was like a reverse bell I guess... It started off great (I got a Shamrock shake!) and then went to shit in the middle, but during and after my work out it got better, and I'm feeling good now. I didn't really do shit in the two classes I had today. I did have to record my speech which I had finished 10 minutes prior to going to record. For whatever reason, the people in the video lab said I did really good, but I thought it was shit because really, that was my second time going through that speech, and the first time wasn't so spectacular. But whatever, it's 25 points regardless of how shitty I did, so I don't care. By Friday, the day I have to present, I'll have my speech performed better.

And really, that's about it. I'm gonna be studying like a motherfucker tomorrow for my math exam on Thursday. Aside from that, I hope tomorrow is gonna be good.

Spring is approaching!

Today started off like shit but got better throughout the day. It started off like shit because I was sick as hell today with a sore throat and a stuffy nose. However, I did take good care of myself today. I ate a lot of soup (including my Grandma's!) and drank a lot of fluids. The sore throat went away and hopefully the stuffy nose will tomorrow as well. I usually get this way if the weather has a dramatic change, like from winter to spring in this case. The weather is supposed to warm up throughout the weeks and not go back down from what I hear, so that's awesome! The winter got old now, bring on the warm weather so I can finally blast music out of my car and not have to wear a hoodie all over the place!

I have to finish my outline and powerpoint for my informative speech tonight because I have to record it tomorrow in the COMS lab in the afternoon. I don't have to do good at all, but at least I can get something started. Other than that, I don't really have anything important to do tomorrow other than some skit that my friend came up with in like 5 minutes for Theater. It's 5 points for attempting it, so it's worth the bullshitting.

The Shamrock Shakes are back at McDonalds! I'm gonna go get one tomorrow morning if I have time, they're so good! McDonald's finally produces something that's awesome, but of course it's only for half a month.

That's about it for today. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow morning and it'll be a good day.
