ok... so i'm not getting any feedback, or visits or anything.... so i'm getting tired of updating... theres just no point when no one reads....

and i'm also getting fed up with a whole lot of things....

this friggin fraternity for example..... whats with all the damn good intentions??  i havent seen one foot moving forward this whole damn semester.... and i thought we were trying to change?  oh no... i see nothing..... i also get no calls from anyone other than currie when he's not at the house, and keefer when he's trying to locate said currie.... and thats about it.... my phone hasnt rang in two days, other than my grandmother calling to remind me to pay my phone bill..... i mean, WTF??  and thats going for everyone, not just the pi kapps.... hell, i get more attention from the people at work than i do my own brothers...... i havent seen one push event, one campus service project, one good anything!!  but i HAVE heard of the kappa sigs (or was it the SAE's....) going down to louisiana to help with the clean up down there...... what is that??  i feel that they're getting lost in the bureauocracy or however you spell it rather than doing something good.... let me know when you guys are gonna start doing something.... good God we've lost our balls, and there's noone trying to figure out how to get them back!!  at least we had some decent parties last semester.... now there's absolutely nothing!  and its not like i can do anything to help, because #1, i'm inactive, #2, no one calls me or keeps me up to date on anything, #3, no one (other than currie and joel and keefer sometimes) treats me like a brother, and #4, no one asks me...... i have some good ideas.... i would love to be the fraternity that does tons of shit on campus, but can throw down a party with the rest of them.... because contrary to popular belief, a fraternity is supposed to be social too.....

but yeah..... if a brother is inactive, dont include him in anything, really....... cut him off... cuz thats EXACTLY what will bring him back.....

damn, sigma is looking mighty fine right about now.....

blinded by rainbows....

ever think about that phrase?  i guess it really cant be understood until you experience it.... you keep telling yourself something over and over.... putting your faith and hope into something that isnt real..... all to have it fade away and crash down.  and finally when you break down, the few saftey nets you had left up either fall apart or have huge gaps in them, tailored specifically to where you're falling.... somethings that you once thought you could rely on arent so strong after all..... fear sweeps over you like a nice cold blanket that has no end.  yeah.... that kind of thing....

then you reach the point where you look back at recent events..... think about how things could have been different.... had i only said this... or had i only done that instead of this...... and its not even an issue that you had been struggling with..... it was something you had a strong conviction about -- an event that you just knew was for the better......

then just when you thought that life was going to get better.... things were finally on the way up..... yet another item hits you like a sack of potatoes being swung by helga the butch russian lady across the street..... i guess another question i have is this -- why is the saying "good things come to people who wait" never true?  why does everyone around me seem to be fiding a happily ever after (or at least temporary happiness) while i'm stuck ranting in front of a computer screen wondering why the hell its so damn cold in my apartment...... am i just that fucking repulsive of an individual?  i mean honestly..... if i try, then i try too hard supposedly.... if i look, it doesnt work.... if i dont try, then it slips by me...  and if i dont look, then how do i find??  i guess its just a combination of stupidity, luck, and not being a hobbit....... because honestly..... how much fun did the hobbits have until the very very end??  none whatsoever!!  i feel that i'm just on a neverending quest to just get bruised and battered by everything and everyone....

blah.....

Live from Apartment 204 in Spartanburg... its Weekend Update with Frodo Baggins....

just a little SNL humor for a sec.....

anyways.... this weekend was absolutely fantastical....

friday i wake up, deal with some school stuff, then go get mary ann from columbia and bring her back up here.... needless to say, getting me and currie to her dorm was quite the adventure.... with there being 2 bull streets, and me thinking that the blossom street garage was a good place to park.... yeah...... currie and i hiked up frickin mount everest to get up to her dorm.....

but yeah... so we hung out all weekend... went rock climbing on saturday, made spaghetti on friday night... and just did what she and i do best.... make ordinary situations better..... lol.... anyways.... she went back on saturday night and currie and i went back to our boring selves.....

sunday was interesting.... i got up early and played some paintball with currie and keefer.... which was quite fun.... i got shot in the top right corner of my forehead both times i was killed.... so i dont have any pretty marks to show for it..... but oh well... i'm sure there will be more to come....

today was very unproductive..... i didnt finish my list of things to do.... and not because i didnt have time.... it was because i just didnt have the motivation...... oh well.... there's always tomorrow!!

and i'm tired of writing now.....

hobbit out

this is what i dont understand..... why is it that when i'm not updating my xanga, people come to the site all the time... but when i am updating, they dont come at all!!!

it almost makes me not want to update.....

but yeah....

so anyways today went like most any other..... got up, ran to kinko's with currie... came back, ate lunch, took a nap, woke up, got dressed, went to the store, came back, talked to the fantastical mary ann for a bit, attempted to go to erin's but lost my keys for an hour and a half.... finally made it over there, talked to her for a bit, came back home, went to dinner with currie, went to a pi kapp meeting, came home, talked to mary ann again..... and here i am......

theres your run down.... nothing too fancy tonight.... because without comments and visits to the site, i just really dont feel like updating with class anymore.... i need some enthusiasm to keep soldiering on.... if i feel appreciated, then i will actually use more than 2% of my energy to do this thing............
