This morning my computer died. I unfortunately will not be online much at all in the next few weeks. I was on the phone with tech-support for nearly 2 hours, and pinpointed the failure to the motherboard. No memory is lost. That's a huge relief. I'm going to be without a computer for awhile, while they send a repair guy out to Cincinnati. By that ( Read more... )

Tony didn't show up for practice again. We have a show in a little over a month. I am beginning to get really uneasy whenever I think about the band. They've kept me as a bass player, and I've really added a lot... but in the scope of things, have I set the band way back? Is my distance from the band such a motivation killer for the group? We've ( Read more... )

So here you have it... my break has gone about the same as it was before. It goes swimmingly. I'm having a damn good time. I have, however, stressed myself out over a bad decision I made regarding my bass. The Spirit of Autumn is not pleased with me - I adjusted her string action and neck improperly, and now she has bad fret-buzz. I think I ( Read more... )

Happy Chanukkah everyone. It's the 5th day so far, and it's been a nice holiday. I've been very relaxed, spending the holiday with my closest friends and direct family. Occasionally I've worked, and it was never too bad. A lot has happened in the last 5 days, and it's hard to believe... it feels like so much more time has passed. This is probably ( Read more... )

Year in review (just an observation -- all of my female-induced venting seemed to happen in the middle or end of each month... I had a lot of girl trouble this year ( Read more... )

... I look at the last couple of days in retrospect. Panera doesn't need me anymore, and I am unable to get a seasonal job. I cannot please my father, either. I've decided to stop trying, even if it means losing his financial support. I'll take out college loans if necessary. I'll bum rides from people all summer ( Read more... )

Well, I'm back in Cincinnati. It's about time. I was screwed out of an earlier ride home (long, dramatic story... I'll spare you all) so I essentially had 3 days to do nothing at Kent. School was getting unbearable. I hadn't played bass or guitar in a week. I failed my Algebra class. Also, EVERYBODY wanted to hang out with me all the time... my ( Read more... )

... it only took a little over a month for me to bounce back from my depressive state. I did it properly though; I went through the process of coping. I didn't mess around. I don't need a relationship. Shit, it's COLLEGE! Drama interferes with the way I operate, so I have no room for it. I'm just going to have fun. I'm back in my "game," so to ( Read more... )

It's been a LONG time since I last had an update. More or less, it's been a month. So much has happened... Where shall I begin? Well, I talked to a pshychologist through Kent Psychological services. I'm doing okay. I changed my major. I am now an English major with a writing minor. This has been the BIGGEST relief in my college career; I am now on ( Read more... )
