This is the worst town I have ever lived in. Never in my life have I been to a place so segregated. Its like the 60s never happened in the place. Theres an HBCU college three blocks from mine. I have never experienced racism in my life until i lived here. There are so many black activist in this town. Not a bad thing, but they seem to over play the racism card. The reason for all this is I was driving around campus making my way to the library a few minutes ago since my laptop died the other day, and a bunch of people were waiting for the bus to come. Someone threw something at my car and hit it. Well if you know me, which non of you do, I spend alot of money on my car and keep it looking good. I stopped waiting for an apology or a 'my bad' but was greeted with laughter and "white boy wants to fight." I just drove off shaking my head. I thought we were pasted this. Seems as if the object thrown was intentional and even if it wasnt they played it off as if it was. This is only one example of many. If I had said, "black boy wants to fight" I would have probably been killed, or at least in critical condition at the hospital. Not joking either. It should be noted that I have many friends who attend FAMU, and all of them are awesome. Theres just a few bad apples amongest them.

Otherwise, my laptop stopped working. I have to send it in to get repaired, its under warrenty. So updates will be sparce over the next couple weeks.

I was supposed to go camping this weekend ,but I bailed the last minute. I decided to visit a friend in pensacola. We didnt do too much but talk about the business he is opening. We did play frisbee golf, which is probly my new favorite sport. The first 9 'holes' went well, but the last 9 were brutal. It was in the thickest part of the forest, if you were even a little off you would lose a frisbee.

We also managed to check out the local car meet up. There was some rather nice cars there, an audi r8, heavily modified corvette, and a HP freaks bmw m3. the corvette and m3 each had over 800 whp. We tried to race a couple cars. First up was a mustang, which was a joke, not even close. Then a porsche cayman, we beat it, and then we raced some hondas for laughs. Fun night. We had a few beers, and by we I mean me. My buddy had two sips of his beer and broke out in hives. He said hes allegic to alcohol, but can sometimes drink it. That has to be horrible. Reminds me of a friend I had who got accepted to Westpiont, and the told he couldnt attend because he was allergic to peanuts. If given the choice, I would rather be allergic to alcohol as opposed to peanuts simply because Chick Fil A is so damn good. And they use peanut oil in cooking.

After all that, I drove back to tallahassee. Did some homework, blah blah blah. DOwnloading the new episode of top gear, bc it doesnt air here live. Also, I may win $1000 for a method I thought of for an assignment with the college of engineering. I am supposed to present my idea tomorrow.

Signing off for now

facebook has gotten too big. I remember when it was just college students. It was just as fun then without farmville, fans, and status updates. Everytime I write something I have to make sure its something I would say around my family, because half of them are on there. My grandfather doesnt even know I drink alcohol. I mean, its not like im trying to hide it from him or anything, the subject has just never come up. Yet he has a facebook, and for some stupid reason I accepted his friend request. Every time I get tagged in a picture from the night before, I have to make sure its not too incriminating.

Im am debating on deleting it...................................................

I went to get a haircut this morning. I am very particular about who cuts my hair, i hate a bad haircut just as much as the next person. So I tend to go to these expensive places which give me peace of mind. (Assuming price reflects quality...) As soon as I moved to this town I found this place, called Cabello's. Its super nice and the girl who cuts my hair just happens to be 20 years old and absolutely gorgeous. I always have a nice conversation with her, and lately Ive been trying to come up with a way to ask her to hang out without it being weird or creepy. We were talking today; skipping most of the details, it came up that she has a boyfriend. Her exact words were "dating a guy" which leads me to believe its not super serious. Either way, it doesnt matter because now I dont stand a chance. At least she cuts my hair good.

Then, as im driving back to my apartment, I smelled dog crap. Drove a little further and I smelled it BAD. I was in my parking garage, and I figure it may be on the floor I was on. I got out of my car and walked a little ways; didnt smell it at all. I walked towards my car, there it was, on my tire and slung all the way around my fender liner. I was livid. I then walked around and found the culprit. Some idiot let their animal take a crap on the second floor of the parking garage. Wtf. So I had to go wash my car and I just got back.

So its shaping up to be a good day. Can only get better from here. I am going camping this weekend with some friends, should be awesome. Ill get to skimboard for the first time since july assuming it isnt too cold.

im probly the boredest person on the planet right now. Nothing to do on a monday night. I just finished watching "what a girl wants." basically a movie about an american girl with an english father who is a Lord. Really a childish movie, but that show bored i am. And I just made some chocolate chip muffins. I have to watch my weight you know, i gotta make up for those vegetables I ate earlier. lol

so, some people around here are freaking out about hurricane Ida. I heard there were long lines at the stores today with people stocking up on essentials for leaving home. Its going to be a tropical depression when it gets here, which just means alot of rain. People are so timid since Katrina. I imagine it will take 2-3 false alarms like this one before people feel complacent again and then blame the government when they dont evacuate after a serious storm hits. Its raining now, no more than it did before there was a hurricane.

.... 45 minutes later. waiting on my iphone to sync my music. taking forever. gonna watch another movie. actually, second thought. history channel. time to go to sleep.

so its about 1 am, i have class at 8 and i cant sleep. I am thinking about the girl who lives next door. Attractive spanish girl, well i think shes spanish. Anyways, she had her window open the other day and I realized we sleep less than feet away from each other. thats weird to think about. some stranger sleeping so close to you yet you dont think twice about it. The guy upstairs is african I have heard. He listens to some questionable music and i have on more than one occasion had to throw things at the ceiling in hopes he would get the message to turn his music down. my roommate suggested I attach some shoes to a broom stick and pretend like im stomping on the ceiling. i swear, this guy has to weigh 300 pounds because i can hear him fee-fi-foe-fumming round all night. and he is like a freaking vampire because he is never up in the day and i will hear his shenanagins when i got to sleep and when i wake up. maybe the best way to deal with this is to light my ceiling on fire. maybe not.

i guess i could talk about my day, because i like reading about other peoples days and would like to share. I started off the day with a hearty bowl of cocoa puffs cereal, and then went to the SAE meeting at the engineering school. SAE is Society for Automotive Engineers. We worked on our chassis design for our baja race coming up in june. I have a good shot at becoming he driver i might add. We also designed some of the front suspension components. I got a free copy of solidworks thanks to the college of engineering, which saved me $2000. Not an exggeration either, that program really costs that much for one license. After all that exciting mess (your probly thinking 'yeah right') we were off to the reservation for a picnic with all the other engineering clubs. The reservation is awesome. Its basically a mile wide lake with kayaking, rock climbing, wakeboarding, diving, sailing, and whatever else you can imagine. I met some cool people, and learned there are in fact attractive girls who are engineering majors. Then I was off to my apartment to nap and cook dinner and watch a movie. well, thats it. maybe i can go to sleep now, but i have a strange suspicion i may have made my insomnia worse.

well, this is my first post. I guess I could start by talking about my day. I woke up, at the crack of noon and noticed the glass from bottle of wine i broke last night had not been cleaned. So I made trip to the store to buy a broom. An average person would own one of these already, but I have never had to sweep my kitchen.

After that little adventure, me and some friends went karting. It was $40 for ten laps, seems expensive. They thought it was worth it, I didn't. We drove out to the middle of nowhere. I never thought I would have seen nascar fans at a track the had right turns, but they were. I could barely understand them as the jibberish spewed out of their mouths. But boy could they drive, one of them could pull off a 360 at 60mph and kept driving as if it was a routine manuever.

Moving back to the wine. Its worth noting how i managed to break the bottle. I saw an awesome video on youtube on how to open a bottle without a corkscrew. I wonder how many explanations start out like that.. "I saw it on youtube and.." Anyways, as beat on the bottom of the bottle it quickly shattered in my hand. awesome right? I thought so. Now, Im sitting in my room contemplating on what I should do tonight. Be social and find a party to crash? or fire up the projector and watch a movie...

Well, i guess that wraps up this post. I hope it met or exceeded your expectations. more to come this week, maybe tomorrow if i have something
