Third time’s a charm….  (You’ll see what I mean with the pasted entry below)

Ok, so I know I promised to make a post about my Las Vegas trip when I got back and I forgot… I got busy playing catch up at college and dealing with all the other bullshit in my life, but I was talking to Oleg earlier and he reminded me (yet) again that I should make a post.  So I uploaded a bunch of photos to the photo gallery here but my laptop is having network issues so I had problems with the 5MP images timing out a few times but got the ones I want up (for now) and wrote a nice little post and went to submit that…  fucking internet timed out again and I lost what I wrote so here I am, giving the post a second try.

Since I don’t go back to class until April 6th I’m going to reinstall Windows on my laptop which should fix all the problems. Oh and for the people that look at the photo gallery and are either too lazy to click the images to see the fullsize ones that have a description or just didn’t know you could, the picture of me with Teller might make you laugh. The dumb bitch that had my cell phone got the flash stuck on and aimed in my eyes for well over a minute before she figured out how to take the damn picture. I swear I saw spots for like 20 minutes. Oh, and the photo of me with Penn… yeah, he’s that tall, I’m 5’10″…  Anyway, Penn & Teller are both awesome guys that really enjoy their fans.  You can read more about them at their site.

I’ll post more later if I get a chance (and remember).

Below is a post I wrote around 2:30am on Feb. 26th 2009, I didn’t post it right then because it was still a hard topic for me to deal with.

It’s around 2:30am and I have some more personal things to take care of in the morning. I’d like to thank the staff/faculty of IADT for allowing me to have this time off from school to mourn the passing of my paternal Grandmother. It’s hard losing a family member and even though I don’t get along with a lot of my family most of the time, we’ve been spending some time together lately. I think the part that’s getting to me the most is that my maternal Grandfather is the only one left… so this post is in memory to each of them.

Rest In Peace

(Back to present)
The funeral was yesterday and it was hard to look some of my family in the eyes, but everyone seemed to get through it. On a lighter note, one of the Sheltie dogs we have here at the house gave birth to a few puppies a couple hours ago. She ran and hid under Nick’s bed when it happened, so we found three puppies and we’re pretty sure that’s all she had.

I leave on Tuesday for my week long trip to Las Vegas, it’ll give me a chance to try and forget about everything that’s been stressing me out lately (I hope) and you never know, maybe I’ll come back rich as hell. I probably wont post anything again until after I’m back.
