update:
Well, upon hearing the news...most people do not believe i am back from missoura...but i've been back for a little over a month now.
I bought a new car...with big thanks to my brother, i wouldn't have gotten it without him...thanks Eric!! It's 10 times better than my old one...that one big thing about my stepdad...he can at least take of his car.
The biggest news won't come until thursday, but i'm probably going to be moving away to Peoria. I have an "interview" with my DM...who hired me in the first place, but that's besides the point...and i might be either accepting a Service Manager or a Bar Manager position @ the bennigans in peoria. So i'll find out the rest of the stuff on thursday...but it's almost a definate deal...i'll keep you posted.
Later
P.s...no prospects with girls still...constantly thinking of a past one...but i made the costly mistake a while ago...can't change now, especially with her engagement and all |

The countdown to Missouri is now dwindling down. A day and a half left...i'm getting nervous.
Story:
I applied for a training position for a new store opening in Columbia Missouri. I was selected to train servers. Since then, I have been "promoted" to bartender and that's what i have been mostly doing since then. I got a call a couple of days ago from my manager asking if i would like to take over an abandoned bartender trainer...so i agreed and now i have to leave a couple days earlier. So i leave on Tuesday...and i'm nervous as hell. Wish me luck everyone and i'll be back Sept 5...and if you are in columbia and want a drink, we open August 29th!!
K to the izzle |

| [ | mood |
| | depressed | ] | i feel like total shit now. I guess i should have assumed she had a boyfriend, but once i heard those words, it was like a dagger going through my heart. All life just died right there. I just got so angry. She seriously is the perfect girl...she has the same loves as i do, she can drink guiness and mostly any beer...she is absolutely the girl i want to be with. I can tell her anything and i know she'll get me. I've never really understood why she always broke up with me, but i never cared. I always looked at it like a "boy meets world" thing, minus the whole "knowing each other since we were 4" thing. I have this gut feeling like i should be with her...but i can't get her to be with me.
If she won't love me, how can i get anyone else to love me...i don't know anymore...
I got offered the job in columbia for 3 weeks...don't know if i want to go anymore...i told her that i want to go just to see the town...but it was really to see her...but it'll be when she's here...
I started bartending, i love it, good money, good atmosphere, get to stay busy...
i just wish i was happier... |

1. Take this list and post it into your own LJ, and mark the movies you've seen (in bold). 2. Add five more movies to the end of the list. 3. Count how many you have seen. If you've seen more than 70 movies, you are a Movie Whore. Post the score of how many movies you've seen in the subject line. 4. Use a LJ-cut since you've got at least one LJ-friend who doesn't really want to see an ungodly number of movies snaking its way down the computer monitor (now at 355). 5. (optional) Question your friend's taste in movies (because you can)

so, i finally saw Episode three...about what i expected and maybe more...it was a lot better than the other two and it's even cooler to be able to actually combine all of the episodes into one great story instead of little tiny stories that somewhat linked to each other. It was really good, so screw you all who said it sucked!!
the only bad thing was that i almost had another episode near the end. I don't know what was going on, but it was a close one. I didn't pass out, but it was nearing...i had this thing i have, i'm never going to be able to do certain things without the fear of dying...sometimes i can't wait until i can get a pacemaker... |

it really sucks not having internet access all the time...when you're limited to nights and possibly weekends, it feels horrible...isn't it sad how it's like this in this day and age...anyways
Graduation was ok...it wasn't really long, it was about what i thought it would be (of course this is the 8th ambrose grad i've been to...i should know how they go). The speakers were, how can i say this...interesting. Adriane was a little boring and i thought it was funny afterwards, i was walking behind her and she was talking about how she needs to go get her speech from the podium and she was freaking out before the ceremony on whether or not she should introduce herself...the faculty advisor told her no because her name is in the program, but she was like i could just simply say my name, i'm the senior class president, which i didn't know, so i tapped her on the shoulder and asked you really were the senior class president?? i thought you were just the lucky one to do the speech...she wasn't too pleased...The actual speaker was depressing, very depressing.
The parties afterward were good. I didn't even ask for a party, but my mom decided on it without really telling me she was thinking about it. Well, it turns out that she was just thinking about it and told tom, so he got on the phone to all of his family and told them about it, which forced my mom into actually having a party. I know this didn't make my brother any happier at me...it just gave him another reason to hate me for something i had nothing to do about...mom cried because she is still happy that she never gave me up...found out yet more information about why my dad didn't want me...turns out he had a plan for my mom and brother...he was going to med school in iowa, but my mom got pregnant, which didn't fall into his plan, so he pushed for an abortion...my mom actually made the appointment, but backed out...told him that she wasn't going to give me up and if he didn't like that, he could just leave...so he left...my mom didn't even think he would do that, but he did...it's funny how little i really know about my life...
Beside the negative aspects of the party, the positives were good beer (even if my brother didn't care to much for it, my roommate and i thought it was good, but we are use to drinking hamms, so everything is good in our eyes), i made $175 in money, $25 gift cert to youngtowns, which is a really neat coffee shop, a cd of some jazz, i haven't listened to it yet, but i'm behind it doing a lot of things...i haven't even watched my jazz concert that ellen's sister made for me :( a tape of my senior recital and a gift box of pens and a pencil, which i feel even more professional now with pens...all i need now is an office and a tie tack, then i'll feel like a true professional...i'm weird, i get excited about getting beautiful looking pens...all in all, not too bad of a grad...however, all my happiness had to be squashed by amber...she had to rub in that her parents threw her a party also about my time, so she couldn't stay as long as she hoped, but then it got worse when her parents gave her an ipod for a gift...so now, out of all my close friends (aka emily, mitch, and amber), i'm the only one without an ipod...damn society and your ever influential ways...now i must get one, but once i do, they'll have something else and i'll be out of the loop again...another reason why i want to move away from this...i can't wait to be on my own, even away from my close friends...
...i gave you the address to my journal, so forewarning you...i will talk about you...i will say that if i did move away, you'd be the one that i'd miss the most, over Everybody...heck, right now you still are on my mind...hope things are going your way and you're staying alive... |

| [ | mood |
| | indifferent | ] | I've just been in the slump it seems like, i can't seem to unravel from it. I've started composing again...i have these sparks of energy to accomplish it, but then it dies like a possum on the street. But hopefully with these new developments within my life, maybe i'll actually start to appreciate music once again.
I miss ellen. She definately was the one that would always make my day feel like it should mean something. I wish i could have that feeling back. I can even see it in her that she misses me also, but i knew that she wasn't happy with me. I hope she finds someone that will though...i wish i'll find someone that will though...It's a constant debate within me...should i be with a musician who can appreciate music with me at that higher level of understanding...who i can compose for and have at my side for all of my accomplishments...or should i be with someone who doesn't understand music like i do, but yet still likes it...it is a must that they like music...but i'm off and on about the actual understanding...i love the connection of being able to go to a symphony or an opera or even a jazz concert and talk about the feelings of the solos or the reason why the composer did it this way instead of that way. Maybe i'll find someone up at UNI...but i'm feeling like that's going to be a dream that might never be come real...
I don't understand why Augie students seem stuck up. I try and talk to some of them, but then they comment back to me with rude/harsh demeaning things that they can't say since they don't know me. I'm starting to feel that no one really knows me...i don't even know me...
I went to the district last night with some friends and i felt so out of place. I want to have fun and drink and be a normal college student, and i can do that here at my townhouse, but whenever i go anywhere else, i crawl into my shell and never leave until everyone is ready to go...
This seems like a pretty down entry, i don't mean it be like that...
The play is going well, we started having costumes a couple days ago, i have green tights, it's rather funny...the capes keep choking me, but i'll deal with it...we had most of the platforms last night...we should have all of the them next week...it's going to be awesome...i hope people will come and see it, it's an awesome play, you'll like it.
Things To Do: 1) Compose more (especially get brenda's music out to her) 2) Apply to UNI 3) Find a girlfriend (any one interested??) |

| wow...it's been a really long time |
[Feb. 26th, 2005|10:29 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| | distressed | ] | hmm, hi again. How long has it been...since august...september, october, november, december, january, february...around 6 months. Since then, my life has completely changed...here goes, bear with me.
I student taught...had a really great time, i loved my students and they thought i was awesome...however, for the first couple of weeks, i was always late by a minute or two...because of that, i didn't get the grade i needed to graduate...so i am transferring to Northern Iowa next fall...all because the new director is a dick. Yeah, i apologized for my tardiness, but i was never late for class, i was always prepared, and there were times when i bailed my teacher out of a jam because he had conferences to go to, so i took his place for a couple days. There were even times that he was late...i did jazz band, two periods of lessons before he even got there...so explain that to me...i'm the one spending 8 grand to do this...why must i be punished??
So yeah, i'm transferring, i'll get my bach of composition degree up there and then go on to grad school.
Relationship wise...ellen and i started dating again...but after five months, she decides to tell me that she'll never want to marry me and breaks up with me...i never proposed and i guess she's been thinking about this ever since we got back together...then i met this girl jen right after ellen broke up with me. We spent a delightful week together, hanging out and getting to know each other...i stayed up till 5 in the morning with her because she got a flat tire...she made me dinner for my birthday in between her shifts at her 2 jobs...we kissed (but with no tongue...i thought it was a little odd)...and she tells me that she doesn't want to be in a relationship...now, why would you do these things if you didn't want to be in a relationship...why can't they tell me these things when they should...it would be easier on my heart and feelings, eh?
So now that my life has turned to shambles, there really hasn't been anything for me to cling onto to keep me with reality...friends help, but not always. I was reading my last entries and how i bitched at my townhouse...i don't even remember that anymore...i get along with all of them now, it's really cool...i just was so busy and out of place last semester i guess...anyways...who knows when i'll update again, but i'll be around again...hopefully. |

so tired...i just need to start school and get a new job, all will be good then...maybe throw in a girlfriend, but eh, we'll see...
Let me 'splain a few things...I hate the hospital...not like "oh, i've been in the hospital since i was five" kind of hate...but "i've been working at the hospital for over five years now" hate...the entire hospital (mind you this excludes the big wigs) lost an entire 1% off of our annual raise (doesn't sound big, but it does make a difference)...all so we can change, get this, the font style on our Logo...AND have commercials aired during the olympics...hmm, yeah, no shitting.
So kyle is now actively seeking for new employment...applications have been sent out to Bennigan's, Cheddar's, and Best Buy...Two of these places currently employ good friends of mine, which means i have a good chance, one place (bennigan's) doesn't employ anyone i know, so it would be nice to get hired there (and not for the hotel discounts that are available)...we'll see, any place than genesis...any place than genesis...
Been extremely busy, working, hanging with friends, i've over at the girls house quite a bit recently, kind of like a new home for me...(the girls house contains amber, a best friend, and emily, also a best friend, but only until recently did she move back from florida to attend ambrose...both are like sisters to me, except emily's the only one who actually looks like a sister to me, due to the redheadedness)
well, i'm exhausted, so i'm probably going to go play a little PS2 and maybe crash before i go and do my 6:30 am shift once again...i hate the hospital...
p.s. 15 points to whoever can correctly guess what kind of mood i'm in using the little mood indicator...good luck!! |

wow, that was two hours i wish i had back...story begin....now!!
So i work with this guy who is a somewhat big drummer in the area (a big somewhat) and he asked me if i knew any saxophonists looking to get in a band...i said not really, maybe a few, but none that have expressed interested in doing stuff...but i said hey, if they need a reed player, i'll play...so he gave him my number and i've talked to the guy a couple times...met up with him tonight, real nice guy (way 80's rockerish lookalike)...he goes off and lists all of this stuff...some good stuff that actually has horn parts...but stuff that you would have not even thought about adding horns, which is cool...but jeez...he spent i swear two hours listing off bands and tunes that we could play...but i told him i'd do it, because i love to play (i still find it really suprising when people tell me they've heard of me, i'm like wtf, yeah right, but no they have...hmm, interesting)...so now i'm in this progressive rock, funk, blues, jazz, ska band...it shall be interesting, let's just say that...
i really need to go to bed...hmm, nothing like getting up at 5 to go the hospital for work...i really should get a new job, but only if i could get a bouncer job or a bartender without be a barbitch...we'll see...oh yes, we'll see... |
