Frisbees, Chilli Dogs, and Routers...

You ever get one of those days when everything just doesn't seem to work?

Well, for my roommate that was totally the case...well, at least when we went disc golfing. It was quite funny, but I could understand his frustration and wanting to stop playing by the time we all were on the last 9 holes...err, baskets.

It was him and two other friends who decided to come along and play some disc golf. I'm not much of a fan of disc golf, but today was one of those days when the weather is perfect to do anything outside. Since I really didn't feel like staying inside and being on the computer all day, I figure why not give it a go. I mean, I had been sleeping until the afternoon hours, so it was time to get up and go play outside! First of all, I needed a disc. So, my roommate and I left for the mall to pick up a new frisbee for myself and he wanted another one as well.

Boy did he regret picking a new one up...well, at least the one he picked. Hehe.

Here's why:

We all met out a disc golf course just north of the Fredricksen Court, which happens to be the living area of one of the other friends who decided to come along. It was all fun and cheery for the first 3 baskets, which we happen to have started on the back 9 first because we didn't want to wait for the group who were at basket 1. But after basket 13, everything changed for my roommate. Reason being beecause he ended losing the brand new frisbee after his first toss at basket 13. I think it took us about 30 - 45 mins. to search for it, only to find that we all had overlooked the frisbee. Then pretty after all that, it happened again by the time we reached basket 4. Again, it was another case of overlooking, but with his disc missing all the time, about 7 groups had passed us on the course. :P Of course, we had to save the best for last at basket 8 when my roommate tossed his frisbee up into a tree and got it stuck.

Oo.......are you freaking serious!? LMAO, this is unbelievable!

But no worries, as our other friend happens to be an accurate shot with rocks and knocked it down before we resorted to the plan of sending me up the tree to retrieve it or just forgetting about it and having my roommate be out $8. Hehe.

Of course though, all ended well and we decided to head over to Dairy Queen to relax and grab some food to eat. The reason of course for going to Dairy Queen was because it was the only place that any of us could think of who serves chilli dogs. Mmm! For some strange reason I've had a strong craving for chilli dogs for the past week and now I finally get to eat one!

But it wasn't the end of my roommate's bad day. Oooooh no it wasn't! :P

There happened to be a woman working at the Dairy Queen we went to who happened to be the same woman who threatened to inform the police of my roommate's activities around that Dairy Queen when he was working for the ISU Daily student newspaper.

Oo...this is just too much! LOL!!!

Of course, he was beat by the end of the day we all parted ways and my roommate and I returned home. Fun day though, very interesting and I have to say it was a lot of fun...even with all the unfortunate events that occured to my roommate. As frustrating that was for him, I have to say that I think we got a good laugh out of the day.

The way days should end. :)

Afterwards, I ended up leaving for Osceola to visit family and friends. With having high speed internet hook up finally at my home in Osceola, it was more of an incentive to come down and hang out. Before when we just had dial up, I really didn't want to come down, only if I had to. Now, it's like I don't mind coming down at all! Kinda pathetic for someone to have high speed just to come down to visit their hometown. Certainly tells everyone how much time I really spend in front of the computer. Anyways, my sister has been having a hard time with her wireless internet access before of the stupid Netgear router she bought. But, being the genius that I am (yeah, right :P), I happen to figure out that mystery. Of course, my sister was already asleep by the time I figured it out, I was still very happy and now very content as I can now use my PowerBook wirelessly in my own home! Yeah, I was quite relieved to figure that out so that I wouldn't have to be wired to her router in order to gain internet access whenever I come down.

Good stuff I tell ya :)

Like Blood Like Honey

Again, I haven't come back to writing about things that have happened in my life recently. I guess I find it difficult to remember that I can jot down thoughts I've been having all day one here. It's a good outlet and I should utilize it more....

You ever get that feeling when you can sense whether someone likes or dislikes you? I don't just mean in relationship terms, but even as a person. A friend of mine happen to reintroduce me to someone I had briefly met a while back during the school year. She is quite beautiful and is even from a different country, of course, not that different.

I'm talking England. But still, the accent is pretty attractive. hehe.

Well, we all happen to go out to play some tennis. She refused because she thought she lacked the skills to play. Even with all the heckling and begging my friend and I proposed to her to play, she still decided to watch from the sidelines as my friend and I continued to play two sets of tennis. Of course, being the idiot I am, I had shown a little of my aggression when I'm losing, because lets face it, who likes to lose?

I think that was a major turnoff for her.

I'm sorry. I get that way sometimes when I'm frustrated. I was really frustrated that night because nothing was really going in and I was losing pretty badly.

Anyways, when I escorted her back to her apartment, she didn't really look at me or say anything to me, and it seemed like every time I tried to talk to her, she wouldn't really respond. I'm thinking it's because of my reaction to not making a particular shot.

*sigh* If only I had been so stupid and did that, maybe she would continue to speak with me, but I think she's afraid to.

I guess I can just say oh well because I didn't really know her that well, but I just didn't like the way I behaved on the court and leave setting that kind of tone until the next time we meet. I guess I got carried away. Seems like I tend to do that. What can i say, I can be dramatic sometimes even though I say that I don't like drama.

New Release Tuesday!

I love Best Buy Tuesdays <3!

New stuff is always fun and today was a good new release Tuesday. After finishing a substitute shift (I worked for someone who happened to injury themselves during a softball game), I went ahead and picked up the movie "Underworld Evolution" and the super awesome mega CD that is "Holly Brook Like Blood Like Honey (hence the title of this post). I've listened to the CD 3 times now and I just can't get enough of it. I first sampled her CD about a month ago on her MySpace page. I actually discovered her through Fort Minor's MySpace page. Fort Minor of course being Mike Shinoda's (from Linkin Park) little side project with Styles of Beyond, which is also a sweet CD as well. She has a style similar to Rachael Yamagata and maybe even a little Sarah McLachlan (sp?).

Definitely worth a check out.

I haven't watched the "Underworld Evolution" DVD yet, but I'm thinking about it and I think I'll go ahead and do that now.... :0)
