| Hey everybody. Life has been busy as of late. Lots of schoolwork and working a ton of hours so haven't had much free time. Went to the bison game on 9/16. That was fun got a great chance to hang out with Mark and Amber. On Saturday, I went to Jamie Kringle's (My Best Buy Computer's Supervisor) wedding reception. That was a fun time. We got him really good, during the reception. During the dollar dance me, Kevin Knight, Jimmy Gross and Justin Jordan(keep in mind that Justin was one of Jamie's groomsmen), decided we needed to play a joke on Jamie. We met outside and strategized, and came to a decision, that the four of us must do a reenactment of "Night at the Roxbury." So the 4 of us got in line together and paid our dollar's to dance with Jamie, to Jamie's best man. His best man asked which of us four was going to dance first. We then proceeded to tell him he had to let us go as a group. Confused and curious the Best Man asked us what we were planning to do. Justin told the Best Man to trust us and the Best Man said alright. So Justin went first to start dancing with Jamie and do a very covert distraction so that Jamie would turn his back, which sure enough he did. In came me, Jimmy and Kevin finished surrounding Jamie and proceeded to do the Night at the Roxbury Dance with Justin to Jamie. Jamie and us were laughing hysterically because honestly it was the funniest thing of things ever. Later on we asked Jamie what he thought of it, and he said that had to be worth more than the dollar each of the four of us paid. The four of us agreed and we each paid him a quarter to make him happy so he got another buck. Which made it even more priceless. But the reception was a blast, hanging with good friends and seeing many comedic moments. But all and all nothing too much new. Talk to you all later. Oh by the way if you ship anything to anybody, do not use FEDEX, they suck. | | |
| It is official. I have been accepted to Idaho State University. I will be leaving Fargo in mid-december. It is a happy yet bittersweet moment, I've made so many friends here, but this is the right decision. I want to thank everyone for their support and friendship. I will miss you all. | | |
| Hey guys so sorry for the lack of updates. Anyways here are some of the cool things going on in the life of Daumination. Well first off I am bald. I finally shaved my head and I like it. It gets to be a little bit of a pain shaving it every morning but I don't mind doing it. For photos go to Facebook, it I can figure how out how to add photos to Xanga, I may put it on. Working a crap lot of hours at Best Buy at the moment because of Back to School and the rushes that go on there. Kind of getting a little bit frustrated at some of the customers. Because they decided to wait till the last minute to buy a laptop instead of what my father would say planning ahead. And now they we are out of some products and they can take as little as a week or as long as six weeks depending on the availability, and they want those ones and not look at something comparible in a different brand, they get mad at me and start to yell, like yelling at me is going to do a damn thing. In addition, common sense would dictate that if they wait till Wednesday to buy the el cheapo laptop, we won't have anything, if you don't wait in line on sunday morning you a'int going to get one. Anyways on to other matters. Went golfing with my buddy Brian Engelman on Friday. That was a blast although it turned out to be a blow out that I won, it didn't matter, we had fun laughing at things from the past and at some of the bad shots he and I made. As far as the title for the title of this update, I watched the first batman movie with Adam West and Burt Ward and that inspired. What else has gone on, in the last month and a half. Oh yeah. I volunteered my time for the Relay for Life with a bunch of my coworkers at best buy. That was an awesome experience for me. It was a great way for me to pay tribute to my deceased grandmother who survived pancreatic cancer so it was an emotional yet joyful time. I raised $50 bucks by asking people for donations when I had some time. I also raised another $25 during the Mister Relay Contest. This is a funny story. A buddy of mine Darin Loven said that he was going to participate in the competition and that I should join. Thinking about how it would benefit the charity I gladly accepted. Not knowing what I was going to get myself into. I found out that I would have to dress as a woman for the evening wear contest. I thought about backing out but I thought how this could help the American Cancer Society. So I went along with it. I donned a dress, wig, makeup and hat, along with my buddy who also donned similar attire, made two of the ugliest yet sexiest women in history. After the evening wear contest, it was a talent competion. Darin rocked the crowd, singing the Darkness' "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." Prior to my act which followed. I started to lose my voice which sucked. So I attempted and stress attempted to sing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and needless to say I bombed. But another friend Jimmy Gross said it was histarrical and he has photos and videos to prove it. At one point he dropped to the ground laughing and started to cry. If I can get some photos or video, I will add some. All in all good stuff. But I got to go for now, see you all later. | | |
| Yeah, I now have updated my Xanga profile. Things are going good. Still working my tail off but I don't mind it. I went to Detroit Lakes for 4th of July for Temi Akingboye's 4th of July / Birthday Party. It was good fun. It gave me a chance to get some sun and get caught up with Temi, Siji and everybody. I love facebook. It is amazing how many friends that I have lost contact over the years that have re-added me. For instance an old girlfriend of mine added me and we quickly got reaquainted. No she is not my girlfriend as of now but maybe later. But I have to go peace out y'all.

| I have returned from my long vacation in Idaho. It was a blast except for the the fact that I had 2nd degree sunburn for the bulk of the vaction but I still had a blast. It was hard going home today but I knew that I had to. I loved going to Salt Lake City and spending some time with my family. I missed them a lot but it was great seeing them. I guess the only low point of my time at home would be getting a letter from my dad's dad, my grandfather. He indicated that it is too much of a strain on him and my grandmother to come visit my family on labor day, but it is not to much of a strain for them to visit NYC, 2 months later. He indicated that I have lost my way and that I need to lose weight and my parents need to give me lots of tough love so that I get refocused and back on the path. In my opinion and my parents agreed with me on this, my grandfather has no right to say anything about my future. He knows nothing about me, my sister or my father because he has refused to take an active role in our lives in well over 10 years. See when my mom's mom was alive, she may have not been an active role in our lives but she was there for us in spirit and backed any decision we made for better or for worse. See my grandmother couldn't be with us physically because of health issues she was proud of all our accomplishments and for me and my sister's attempts to find ourselves and our path in life. But my grandfather could care less in his eyes I am a disappointment but my sister has done everything he would have wanted with her journalism. Me on the otherhand he could care less that I was an RA, I volunteer frequently, I am a 4 time employee of the month. In his eyes that would never compare to my sister and my accomplishments because I have lost my way and I am overweight. I know I am overweight, but my mom even said this, morbid obesity runs in my family and most of this has to do with my genetics and some of it has to do with the decisions I have made, but I am better for the short comings that I have had and maybe being overweight is something I never wanted but it has made me stronger and how to taught me how to overcome adversity. I hate to say this but as far as I am concerned my last grandparent passed away two years ago. It makes me sad to say this but considering he has not been apart of my life in over ten years, and that in his eyes I will never compare to my sister and her accomplishments, a huge part of me feels this way. But he is still my grandfather and I still will love him but I hope at somepoint my grandfather will love me too and become more of an active part in my life. Anyways I have to go. Talk to you all later. | | |
