| - NarcolepsyWell hello everybody... been a long time since I updated my xanga... things are generally good on this end...
Work
Still working at Carinos, but as a full time bartender. I
work about 45-50 hours a week. The money I make is pretty
good. I am enjoying not being broke and NOT owing money all over the
place... I like the people I work with (exception: my general
manager who is a crazy biatch) and meeting and getting to know total
strangers at the bar has been very fulfilling actually.
Girls
Just Karen. She is amazing and were doing really great
right now. She's at SFA and I'm in Longview, but I'm getting
better at the distance thing (thanks Lacey) and so its not too
bad. If you want to get to know her, you should check out her
facebook sometime... or just ask me about her.
School
As it happens, the classes I've taken are closer to Human
Resource Management than Marketing.... so thats what I'm
doing. I really just want to get out of school and concentrate on
making a living the way the rest of the world is. Shit, even if
I'm bartending I'll be living comfortably and NOT having to go to
class. (i hate class) (so do you)
Anyhow its about that time for Ben to go out and get his fun on... so I'll talk to you guys later...

| Well I am now "dating" someone. We are taking it slow and "going
with the flow." I couldn't be happier. I have a smile on my
face when noone else is around. I find myself waking up in the
morning ready to start my day... its a very strange and new
feeling for me.
Oh... her name is Karen... she goes to SFA and is a
interior design major. She's an incredible girl. I hope all
of you guys get to meet her at some point and get to see what an
absolutely amazing person she is.
Still working at Carinos... working a lot in the bar and on the
floor waiting tables. I've decided that I'm going to change my
work ethic up there... I decided that the "social life" aspect at
work is not only slowing me down but is the only
source of drama in my life right now. Which means its got to
go. So... no more hanging out with anyone from work and no
more talking about people from work with other people from work etc etc
blah blah blah.. I'm just going to do my job and do it
well... and quietly.
Anyhow I'm on a break from work and watching the new Stewie Griffin
family guy DVD. It's absolutely hilarious. You guys should
come over and watch it.
Hrrm... something new and exciting thats happening in my
life.. (besides Karen)... oh.. I have a new
"favorite" song. Which is a big thing.. I've had the same
"favorite" song for a long time and now its been replaced.
Optimistic, which is the 6th song off Kid A by Radiohead is now the
frontrunner. All of you should hear it and love it. That is
an order.
Anyhow I'm going to go back to doing something other than updating my xanga. Peace.

| Hrrrm... so now there is this facebook thing. I'm not
excited about having a xanga and a facebook. I need to choose one
or the other. The facebook thing has more options and their
system of coding is better suited for what I want to do with an
internet journal/page/site/yada/yada/yada... so maybe I'll just
dump the xanga and go with this facebook stuff.. Still seems like
a popularity contest to me... but I'll rebel against that like i
rebel against most everything else.
I guess you should go check it out....
Oh... I got promoted at work... and am thinking about doing
something slightly drastic concerning school. (its not dropping
out) My mind is racing at the speed of light and for the first
time in ages I feel like I am capable of expressing how I feel with no
fear, no remorse, and with a surprising amount of clarity.
On a side note, this book I'm reading is incredible... the man
the book is based off of just hits home with me. It reminds me of
myself if I actually acted on all my impulses, ideas, and
fantasies.. It's a good thing I don't or I might be dead in the
Alaskan wilderness as well. It still makes me want to go do
something for myself...

| I had it all under control. Was organized, motivated, and doing
it well. I can no longer blame myself for the failures the last
couple months. I now blame LeTourneau as well. No
flexibility from any of the professors that I had in class. 35+
hours at Carinos most weeks, and balancing class just isnt
possible.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I could stay at Carinos in
hope of finding a lucky break and getting into a management or catering
position....I do command a certain amount of respect for the way I work
up there... and the managers respect me as well...
OR I could transfer out of LU to another school and get a
fresh start away from Fairweather, Erickstad, and the rest of the
people... that cause my blood pressure to rise and my IQ to fall.
Ahhh welll... I am loving being around my friends. Losing
my "boys" / "crew" / or "posse" would definetely kill my chilled
out vibe I think. So many options... but then again I'm not
even sure any of you read my blog anymore... so its hard to ask
for an opinion from a listening audience of 6 people. Where are
the comments people? Wheres the love?
Maybe this dancing man will cause some comments... lets try.../

| How did this happen? I've become completely reliant on
music. Specifically, listening to Radiohead. Every time I'm
home, in the car, or on my computer I have Radiohead playing. I
can't really seem to relax until I do. I'm scared to get an iPod
because it might never get turned off.
Work and school and work and school. 16 hours at LeTourneau and
30+ hours a week at Johnny Carinos. Balancing it is already
becoming near exhausting.
Well, for those guys out there that love them some Halo 2... I
think were going to have a guys night over here in the near
future... 4 TV's... 4 Xbox's... and 16 dudes playing
Halo and.... "chillin." That and barbecue.
If you are interested in coming and have an xBox and TV greater than 25
inches gimme a ring and let me know. Should be a good time
without any "hoes" being involved.
Bros before hoes, don't give me no jibba jabba!
