taking things for grantid..

(never noticed the title box up there...must be new)

Not sure how to start this one...

Well, ever since I came home from work today, things have been upsidedown. My grandma called saying that Andy Hopkins died from his injuries today. It's so unreal. He's the first person close to me that i knew well that has died. It seems just like yesterday we were together with friends at BW3s, at Amber's place for swimming or his house for Halo 2 parties. He was always a blast when I had pool parties at my place. One of the orginal band twinks, and a damn good saxaphone player.

My family are really good friends and are close to his family so this really strikes home. It really makes you look at things in a different light that you take for grantid. Like your life. We go through the hustle and bustle of life assuming we're going to live another day. Unfortunately, things like this are really the only thing that can bring us to our senses. We never know for sure if we're gonna live another day, that's why the Bible says to live it like it's your last.

To make things even more interesting, there was an accident involving a semi-truck catching on fire and a couple other cars getting involved at the Howland-Wilson Rd - 82 east intersection. It just happens to be the intersection that I cross everyday to go to YSU, and I passed by it too on my way home...not a pretty scene. It just so happens that the truck driver died at the scene. Damn...everyone's dying...

I've been thinking lately...if I were to die today, would anyone really miss me? (I'm not saying this to get pity, i'm just saying it because it's been on my mind the past couple of days. Just making that clear for those of you who take things to wrong way) I'm pretty sure my immediate family would be devistated, but what about everyone else? I'm sure no one would really notice the difference of me not being there anymore or would be heartbroken.

I was planning on starting on some of my papers today that I need to do, but I can't stop shaking and I'm not in a very good mood, so I just might need to postpone it for a day or two. The only thing that's really keeping me calm is knowing God has a plan for Andy and that he's in a better place. There's a reason for everything, it's just sometimes we just never know the reason. Have faith in God...rest in peace my friend.

Short entry today...short as in I'm just mentioning the new AMV I'm putting in here...

It's Take Me Away by my very good friend Mark Darby and using the anime, Naruto. Also, it's an AMV tributed towards Temari and Shikamaru...the cutest couple ever!

gawd...could computers get any more troublesome? Somehow last night I was infested by spyware though i didn't do anything extraneous to get it (at least that's what I'm assuming). So my puter is currently down and I'm waiting to see what my dad's gonna do with it. He said he'd try and fix it since obviously my attempts with running a couple different scans didn't work. *sighs* mendouske...

Anyway, on a brighter note...as you can see I added something to my little site here (not like anyone really pays attention to me or this anyway); I have a little music video going. More specifically an AMV. To be even more specific, an AMV which I created myself (my other s/n is TemaShika85). It uses the song In the Shadows by Rasmus and the anime, Naruto. For those who've only seen what's on Cartoon Network for Naruto, this AMV contains material that you won't be seeing for a year at least (assuming they continue introducing one new episode a week). But if you're like me and have seen every episode so far(or have even read all or most of the manga like myself again), enjoy it! It's not like you haven't seen it before. But a little side note to those who do just watch Naruto on Cartoon Network: BREAK THE HABIT! Viz, the company who edits and distributes Naruto, majorly watered down and screwed up Naruto BIG TIME! The Japanese dub is so much better and the voices don't sound retardly gay.

Anyway, sorry for the long post...not like anyone is going to read it anyway. lol

P.S.
Every so often (actually...when and if I remember) I'll change the AMV at the top of this page to another one of mine or even spotlight an AMV that someone else did that I think is great.

damn....uh...haven't updated in a long while^^ hehe...*sighs*

Anyway...don't expect me to update as much as I used to...it's just troublesome to keep up>.<. Nothing much has happened (heh...that's a lie^^;;, i just don't feel like writing about it) in my life except it was like hell for a while (and it still kinda is in a sense, but i could care less right now). Haven't really done much...i bascially have no life now and no one really cares. Not really looking forward to Valentines Day. I have nothing to look forward to that day anyway besides going to class and doing nothing.

*Yawns and sighs* Anyway...as you can see I changed my background to one with Shikamaru *swoons*. Such a cutie.

WOW! I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN AGES!!!

School and life has been crazy so that's why i haven't updated in forever! (and also i've been lazy) To sum it up...Jon and i are now dating, school has been a bitch, and life is just going nuts.

Since i had some free time i decided to update a bit and get more into the christmas spirit by changing my layout. I hope you like! I'll get around to updating the music later. As of right now i don't think i'll be writing again until after my finals are done. I have finals on dec. 12th-14th *yay* (monday - wednesday) and then i'm done!! It feels so good to say that! that following saturday jon and i are going christmas shopping (well...i'm shopping for christmas at least...jon's trying to get everything done on ebay) all day^______^. later taters!
