| So yesterday I watched a video at post-secret and the song that they played was really good. So I decided to download it off at I-Tunes and put it on my iPod and listen to it again while I was on the way to Kurt's house right after I downloaded it. So I turn it on and start driving and I got into this zone. It was like a very reflective/surreal kind of mindset where I was very deep in thought but also noticed a lot of things outside. It ended up being a sort of summary of my life kind of thing that was really kind of weird. It was like my life was flashing before my eyes and I def thought to myself, "Am I gonna die today?"
So I was driving along and all the sudden I saw this family outside with a little baby boy who had unbelievably blonde hair. It reminded me of myself when I look at old pics, and the house that they were at looked a little like the old house where I lived for the first four years of my life. So I keep going and then I go past the football field where my brother was at football practice. The funny thing is that I too practiced football there when I was a kid, and I didn't enjoy it all that much my first year when I had to play with the older kids because I was too heavy (over the 110 weight limit by 2 pounds). So I kept driving still and turned down a different street and it was one where my bus drove when I was a student at St. Clement. All these memories of riding the bus flooded into my mind, especially one when my bus driver hit a stop sign... Anyway, I keep going and get on to the major road I was going to and got stopped at a light. I look to my left and see a sign that says "Leaving Toledo" because I was going into a suburb. That was the surreal moment when I realized all of this happening and when I also thought to myself, "What if I never come back?" But more than anything it was just weird because I leave a week from Thursday and this very reflective song was playing and I saw this sign.
Anyway, that is my weirdo/overthinking my life moment for you all. Hope you enjoyed.
Oh, and the CD and song are listed below...

| Another show...I forgot to mention another show that I really like. It's called Psych and it is on USA. I've been DVRing it a lot and it is really a fun show.

| New showsSo I have a few new shows that I am obsessed with and I thought that since I haven't updated in a while I would start with those.
First of all, Big Brother 8 has begun. My mom has been obsessed with Big Brother since it's first season, and I have usually joined her in that obsession, at least for the first few weeks. It is pretty good this year and I am enjoying the drama and fun. There is a lot of drama because they paired a lot of people up with their worst enemies. One example is that they have ex-boyfriends on that broke up because one guy accuses the other guy of giving him gonorrhea. Sick, I know. The other one is a girl and her father. But the catch is that they haven't spoken to each other in two years. Interesting indeed. They have this online thing where you can get on and watch them 24 hours a day. I got it of course, but I am currently on the two week free trial and I think I am going to cancel it.
The other show I am obsessed with is Jericho. It is a show on CBS that started last fall. I saw the commercials for it and thought it looked real good, but I never got a chance to watch it. The basic story line is that nuclear bombs went off in most of the major US cities and because of that there is chaos in most of the nation. The federal government has split into 6 different groups claiming they are the real government. So the show is about the small town of Jericho, Kansas and how they deal with the aftermath. I have almost watched every episode (available on CBS Innertube, which is a web site that lets you watch old episodes of their shows) and it is pretty good. Right now they are running out of food and it is the middle of winter. There is a lot of good drama in it, but it is also kind of freaky. I mean, can you imagine what it would be like? I don't know what I would do.
Anyway... As far as my life goes, things are getting a little stressful. YES project is less than one week away. People are worried we won't have enough money. There is also a lot of complaining because the host parish is the richest parish in the diocese and yet they have given us nothing. They won't even let us speak at mass to see if we can get donations from the parishioners. We were all so excited to be having it at CK because we thought we would get more donations and help than we knew what to do with. I guess this teaches us not to expect anything.
NET fund raising is going pretty well. I have about $2400 so that means I only need to raise about $1000 more. I have a little more than a month to do that. I'm not really worried. There is still a possible pancake breakfast to come as well as several people that might give large amounts. I can probably throw a random car wash in there too somewhere.
It's crazy to think that YES is next week and then 3.5 weeks later I leave for NET. It came quick.

| Today = good timesSo I am being more than quite honest when I say today was one of the most interesting days I have ever had. It started off low-key, with finding a new web page and checking it out. Then I went to check out some YES sites and they were interesting and looked to be pretty good.
However, between the two sites we had about an hour to kill so we decided to go to a bar and have a cold one. We go to this bar that I had heard of before, called Michael's. It is nice enough, nothing fancy and pretty small but cozy. We were sitting there talking with the bar tender about the news and then this guy walks in. He knows one of the guys I am there with. So he is talking to us and he gets a phone call. He answers it with "Bail Bonds, what do you need?" It takes everything I have not to start cracking up. He precedes to talk to a guy and he asks, "How much do you need?" Then he goes, "$18,500? You must have been a bad boy!" We started cracking up, and the guy was egging us on by saying all kinds of crazy stuff. We proceeded to sit there and talk to the guy for a few more minutes. Honestly probably one of the funniest guys I have ever met in my life. Just so random and always having witty and hilarious things to say. And he got a few more phone calls while we were there. Awesome to say the least.
Well, later I go to the Irish Pub and have a few Strongbow's and some onion rings. Kurt gets there and finds out there is a midnight showing of Live Free or Die Hard and so we decide to go. I was pretty excited because it looked like it was going to be a damn good action movie. Well, it was. Pretty much non-stop action with a pretty good plot. Maybe some unrealistic stuff, but it's Hollywood, so you'll have that.
Lately I have been seeing people that I had crushes on back in my high school years. There was one last night at the movie. There was another a few weeks ago at a bar we were at. It is just funny to me to think about these things. And that they are still in Toledo. I don't know why. Probably because I moved on and forgot and then there they are, still around and still with the same people they were always with. I mean granted, I have been hanging out with the same home people for a long time. Most of them since the summer after freshman year of college. Then the select few since high school and youth group. And then the even more select group that have been around since grade school. But anyway, yeah... It is always sort of funny to run into old crushes.
Go see Live Free or Die Hard!
