So I moved in yesterday to my dorm at Buell, and it's going ok so far. I guess the only advantage of being a sophmore is that there is no need to me to go to the morning practice, which presented a sleep in opportunity that I didn't take advantage of. All of my roomates are here, and all of them are pretty cool, and I don't see to many problems arising. I already miss Amanda like hell though.
I dunno, just looking for a way to wake me up, so I decided to update.
I think it's time to take a shower, and then call Amanda.

So I haven't updated in what seems like weeks. Actually, I think it's been a month. Yeah, that's about it.
So I got back from Band Camp on Saturday, and it's much different from being a student, I mean, there is still a lot of work, but I dunno, it's just a different kind of thing. I enjoyed it thought. I have to go to the practice tonight, 6-9. Fun fun.
I start packing for MY Band Camp tomorrow, and I leave on Sunday. This sure was a long summer. I'm half glad I'm going back, but half sad that I am.
Yesterday was our (Amanda and Myself) 3 year anniversary. It's been a long time coming. I've never been happier.
Ok, that's it I guess, I didn't have much to say, just wanted to tell you guys that I'm still alive.

i suppose i have a decent amount to type in an update, so i guess today is the day. sorry if i have seemed out of touch or anti social lately, or if i said i would call but havent or come to something and haven't. my life has felt a little hectic latley, and i'm just trying to keep up. so derek, sorry i haven't called, ill call some time this week.
the last two weeks ive been working 5 days a week, which is a lot for me by the way. but now some guy quit and they have me down to 3 days a week. make sense? i mean, less people, so i get less hours....yeah...or course that makes sense.
i've been seeing amanda quite a lot latley, and quite frankly i couldn't be happier.
the days have felt long the past week or two, and i think it's because of my lack of sleep at night. mostly because i sleep on a sleeper sofa, and i get stabbed nightly by rebellious springs in the mattress. thankfully we have started to look for a new bed, which we will get right before i go back to school probably. yeah, how convenient.
today was EMU precamp, which was fun, and not so fun at the same time. it was nice to see people i haven't seen in 2 months, and talk to my roommates and start discussing the room for next year. it was also very fun because i counted FIVE new people from LCHS there, which by the way, is up from the l last year (ahem, me). there was krissie, brandon, nick arnold, rob abend, and jennifer. yeah, its exciting to me that it went up so much. it was a long day though, and i was falling asleep coming back, which would be the not so fun part.
ok, i have other stuff i have to do unfortunatley. later.

not a lot going on in my life. well, there is, but there isn't.
work was hot today. mostly because it's 94 degrees, and there was no air conditioning in the resturant at all. needless to say, the kitchen went up to 112 degrees.
there is an updated list for my cd trading program. if you're interested, you can find it here

my grandpa was admitted to the hospital. apparently he needs a pacemaker, and to have his gall bladder removed. the family is a little worried.

i finally got a job! my mom was looking in the classifieds today and there was a dishwasher opening at the firehouse on 16 and harper. I applied at about 10:30 this morning and got a call at about 3:00. so i finally will have some money coming in, which is good. i work thursday - sunday, from 5 to 12. so there go my weekends.
im having problems with my firefox. i downloaded the new build today (1.0.4) and i can't click on flash menus now. quite a bummer. hopefully it becomes resolved in the next couple days. hopefully.
i got a haircut today too. this is the first haircut in months that i actually like, which is very uncommon. this is turning out to be a very good day.
ok, that's all, time for some dinner.

but im over it. tomorrow im going to scour over some resturants that i really don't want to work at, but i know i can probably get a job at. oh well, maybe i can get a fun, interesting job next year. also tomorrow i have to powerwash the back sidewalk and thursday and friday, the rest of the house. THAT'LL be a fun time, let me tell you.
i went to go see the band concert tonight. it was weird watching hilton call all of you guys seniors. good luck to the people that i may not see ever again. although chances are if you're actually reading this, that's not even a possibility.
after the concert, i went to rams horn with dave final, simone, angie, and some other people. it was good to actually see these people and talk to them again and hear about how they're doing in college. good times.
interesting side note: today at about 5, i thought to myself what the hell, lets hook up my old 100mb ZIP drive to my laptop, and see what i have on these ZIP disks in my desk. So i find all the cables and the drive, and i plug it into the laptop first, and then into the wall socket. the power light on the drive started to blink. i thought oh well, maybe there is a short in the wire or something. i left to see if i could find another 5V, 1A power cable that would work, and about 5 minutes later, i come back. on the back of the ZIP drive is two parallel ports. one hooks into the computer, and the other can be a pass through for a old parallel port printer. well, only the first one was being used, and when i came back, there was smoke coming from the other parallel port. yeah, that was interesting.
long story short for people that skipped that. i plugged in a ZIP drive, and i set it on fire.
there was no actual fire, but i'm assuming a short in the power cable did something, cause it was smoking out the back, and some out the side. oh well. guess i'll have to wait to see what's on the disks.
on a related note, does anyone have a old ZIP drive i can borrow?
ok, that's it for tonight, time for bed.

Dave Matthews Band - Where Are You Going? |

ive been playing my guitar a lot lately, which has made me happy. i dunno, i miss this much intimate time with my electric.
i'm heading up to flint tomorrow night to practice with reaching omega for a show we have on thursday. unfortunatley i misplaced my footswitch. i think i may have left it at jims, so i need to call his stepdad tomorrow and check to see. if not i need to borrow jims from his fender amp and hope that it works with my crate amp. oh well, i guess we'll see.
some other random news, for everyone that didn't know, i have a fish. i dunno, just thought i'd share that. he/she/it doesn't have a name though. i found that when i name pets, they die faster (not any animal, just mine, so that's why my dog is still alive, i didn't name him). so i decided to leave my fish nameless, and just as expected, he is still alive and well.
so, does anyone know about a job i can have? i really need a job soon, just to ease my monetary worries. what am i worried about? not having money i guess. i dunno, i don't have any PRESSING financial needs, but it's good to have some money in the bank.
I NEED A JOB!
ok, i'm glad that's out. time for some shut eye.

The White Stripes - I'm Finding It Harder To Be A Gentleman |

wow, i'm finally home, i finally don't feel overwhelmed (mostly), and i feel relaxed.
well, to everyone that reads my journal, i'm home from Eastern for the summer, starting about a week ago. in the past week, i've been unpacking and cleaning. a LOT of cleaning. here's some advice to people that are going to go away to college. DON'T BRING USELESS CRAP. I used about 1/3 of the stuff i brought up. save yourself the trouble.
yeah, anywho, so i'm home. other then unpacking and cleaning, the rest of my week has mostly consisted of catching up with my life. i'm trying to find a job right now with little to no success. i think tomorrow im going to go drop off an application at metro beach.
i've been bugging hilton about a job next year on staff, at least to some extent. i'm going to come bug him personally in a week or two. i don't know, maybe it will help get the point across? i'm not sure, but i really want a staff job.
for all those still interested, i still have my cd business, and my collection has grown in leaps and bounds over the school year, and is still expanding on a weekly basis. here is a updated list for anyone that wants to trade cds. ive widened my outlook, so i'll take almost anything in a trade, just tell me what you have, and i'll tell you what i want.
http://www.wowway.com/~efhibbert/CD%20List.doc
that's the list. It's a word document, fyi. I'll update the list once every couple weeks.
i've been seeing Amanda a lot latley too. lets just say i'm glad to be home.
that's all i really have for right now, but now that i'm home, i can update a lot more. also, dont be surprised if people get random calls when i get bored.

Cars - Just What I Needed |

there is a bunch of crap going on in my life right now that is both small and unknown to a lot of people, so when i put it in here, many people will have no idea what im talking about because of my lack of updates, but here it goes anyway.
last week i was in cleveland, ohio wednesday and friday to play in the pep band for basketball. that was pretty fun except for the 4 hour bus ride there and back. still, fun stuff.
coming up this friday im supposed to play with dave and jim at a party that their parents are having. then on saturday im leaving at 7am (from emu) to go to canada to watch the Bach "Brandenburg Concertos". thatll be interesting.
this week will be unhectic compared to other weeks, especially last week. this biggest thing that i have going on is i need to host a halo 2 tournament on wednesday for hall government, which will be a pain in the ass, but it should turn out ok.
i miss people. its weird, i still read journals constantly, and i read about all of my friends, and i miss people, a lot. its weird not seeing people as often as i used to, and it's weird having a new life down here (sort of).
oh well, thats my semi real update. i need to start lookin for a job for the summer, because i have a total of 5 weeks left of school now. any suggestions? just wondering.
ok, time to go to work. im out.

every time i try to update, one of two things happen. either i dont really know what to put, or i have so much to put im too lazy to put it down. right now is neither.
i just got done with break, and it was mucho fun. all i really did for most of the break was hang out with amanda, but i did get some other things done as well.
see? that was really short, and i have no idea what else to put. that's my problem.
oh well.
i have to go to work, so ill try to sit down and actually update this later.

quick update, because i have class all day.
went home for the weekend, not for very long though. i saw amanda on friday, and on saturday i had enough time to get my haircut, go to the eye doctor and discover i need reading glasses, get those said reading glasses, and then come back to school for a basketball band game.
last night was second degree for the sorority, then we went to dennys for dinner afterwards, it was fun, but i didnt get back till like 11:30, so i was too tired to do homework.
today, and for the rest of the week, i have something to do every night, and this is going to be the longest week of the semester. if it's not sorority stuff i need to do, it hall government stuff.
oh well.
that was my quick update on my life.
p.s. - i love amanda

John Mayer - Daughters |
] |
I'm trying to be a real nice guy with my suitemates and their "habits". From now on the constant smoking of weed in the bathroom is called their "habit". Well this "habit" is making me sick. Im serious. I had the worst migrane of my life last night and it started with the smell of weed. I got back in my room tonight, called Amanda, and started on some homework. Chris comes back, opens the bathroom, and then my homework comes back again. This is when I start thinking "Fuck, this is rediculous."
Im giving it a week. Then I'm going to the RAs about it. I would just go to my suitemates, but theyre the ones smoking this weed, so I don't even care about them, because I just think weed is stupid. Will the RAs do anything? I don't know, considering my roommate drinks with them in the RAs room on a regular basis. So my next step would have to be the Area Complex Director.
This has been going on for like 3 months, and I haven't done anything about it because I don't want it to be like 5th grade and go on tattle on them. But this is getting fucking out of hand, and when I go to bed, with a migrane, and feel like I want to die, or something of that nature, then I start to get pissed off. So yeah. That's my current situation at College.
Anyway.
I miss Amanda.
I miss my Friends.
I hate my suitemates.
My roommate is tolerable.
I can't wait till next year when I get to room with a friend, in a dorm I want, and I can get away from this stupidness that is my freshmen year in college.
Oh yeah, breaking news. My roomate got a bid from Phi Sigma Phi. What does that mean? He gets to go through Hell week. So what? That means I get to go through Hell week with him.
This is going to suck.

I always intend to update this more, but I never do. I don't know why. Oh well, here is an update.
I have two other academic classes in my schedule (that means not music related) and thats americna government and lit 101. Government seems fine, even though the teacher is a little radical. The lit 101 is going to be interesting because of the fact the guy never looks on my side of the lecture hall, and he talked for about 40 minutes on male dominance, which somehow had to do with the first paragraph of his syllabus. But whatever.
Honors band is this weekend. That means I get to see all the LCHS people. Fun fact, I made the nametags you guys are going to wear (ok, so it's not really that fun, but it is a fact).
Yesterday was an awesome snow here in Ypsi. It was perfect. Packable, soft, and warm (yes warm). I just love it when I walk through the streets, and its snowing, and I don't feel cold. It just looks awesome outside.
Im never in my room anymore, last night Chris told me he felt lonely. After that I proceeded to not care. Im usually over in the Alex music building, just because (like high school) the band place is the hangout place. The more it changes, the more it stays the same.
I miss Amanda.
I need to clean my dorm. It's been a week today and it looks like a disaster in here. But then again that goes with the whole "never in my room thing". My room is more of the get done with class, sleep, then go back to work room....place.
"You know what's better than going home? HOT DOGS!"
That's all really. I just got off work and I have American Government at 10:00 so I need to go. Later.
Oh one more thing. To all the people that I intend to talk to but never really do anymore (people like Derek Paul, Dave Crooker, LCHS people), I dunno, I just thought I would put your names in here cause I really don't talk to you guys as much as I want to. That's all really.
Later.

Hey, look, I'm still alive.
I know I really don't update this anymore on a frequent basis, but I still do read my friends page.
So, not a lot actually going on in my life right now. Amanda has finals this week so I'm trying to give her a little distance so that she can study and not get distracted. My christmas shopping is pretty much done. I go to Florida (!) from the 26th till I belive the 30th to see my brother, and Amanda gets to come along. Got all my finals done, no major problems. Um...that's pretty much it.
Tonight I go out to dinner with my grandparents and my parents for my Mom's birthday, which was the 13th. It may be late, but it's better than last year, where we waited until about June.
Well, since I have no Amanda for a couple days I guess I'll be updating this a little more.

Not a lot has been happening in my life the past few weeks. I mean, there has been tons of stuff, but nothing that's overly exciting. I guess the most important aspect of it is...
I'm having Amanda withdrawals. I miss her like woah.
Other then that, the biggest thing in my life is my music and the music classes. My last football game (marching event) was Saturday, the Band Banquet was Sunday, and I leave for home on Tuesday. Last weekend was Band-O-Rama, which was cool to see all the LC friends again. I've been playing Halo 2, and when I'm not playing that, I play Metroid Prime. The food here is getting gross, and today (Monday) I feel swamped...busy day ahead.
That's all really, I have to go to class now.
