An Update on Johnny's Life

I should really be doing a countless number of things right now. Homework/studying in particular. So much to do in two days it is ridiculous. But I feel I needed to blog since my last post was two weeks ago. So yeah lots going on in my life.

Lets start with the school problems to get that out of the way early since it is the same old shit. I have one more midterm to go. It is on Wednesday. Good old health science. To be honest, this class has taken the back seat to my business classes pretty hard the past couple weeks and now I am feeling the repercussions. I need to do some serious reading while trying to do my usual major hw load from business classes. It is near impossible to get everything done before wednesday, and I am really not that focused. It is going to be a fun tuesday night.

So yeah school is bad. Moving on....FA has been pretty good. Not to much work for FA right now. It's the end of the semester pretty much for FA. Just one more elections sessions on Monday and then banquet and it is over. I still have the retreat but that is in late January. If I had not already mentioned this to you guys before, I am the new Executive Vice President of the Finance Association. Not to shabby, huh? It has a nice sound to it. I think I am going to like 2nd in Command. I feel the power growing already! On saturday FA had a volunteer event for the Walk Now for Autism: Autism Speaks event at Angels Stadium. That was really fun. There was a lot of free stuff and a lot of Star Wars characters walking around. We got to walk on the baseball field too. That was cool because I had never gotten to do that before. They filmed me walking on the Jumbo-Tron too. That was a nice bonus.

I'm trying to exploit banks for money right now since I don't have a job. I opened up a bank account at US Bank for a $50 reward. All I have to do is keep it open for 6 months with no minimum balance required. So I'm going to leave like $10 in there and after six months close that sucker out! I already marked my calender the day to close the account out in May. Easy money. My next target is Nuvision Credit Union. Another $50 here I come!

On a different note, I applied to Sears Holding Co. for a seasonal winter job. I had my first interview and it went very well. Hopefully they call me back for the next two parts of the interview process.

My computer's hard drive has officially been announced corrupted/dead. It has been a big disappointment in my life. I didn't do anything to it either. HP Support made it worse. I have really lost a lot of respect for HP. Now I don't know who to trust for my future computing needs.
Tomorrow my computer is being shipped via Fedex to HP for fixing. At least they are doing it for free. It just has been really hard without Left for Dead though. I had the LFD2 demo preloaded on my computer and everything. Then my computer died...it just wasn't meant to be.

I registered for my Spring semester on friday. Yet another registration gone wrong. I guess it could have been a lot worse, but still I got fucked over again. Pretty bad this time too. Tuesday I only have 1 class and it is a 4:00pm. Blah! that's lame. and then thursday I have class from 4pm to 10 pm. Night classes? This is new. Monday is fine and normal, but wednesday is the big mother. I have morning classes till 11:15am then an eight hour break till my night class at 7pm. EIGHT ****** ******* HOURS!!!!! Wow. So pretty much I would come home for 6 hours and then go back again. But that is a pain and more gas. I am wait listing a class to try and move that night class to tuesday night. If that happens then my schedule is very symmetrical and good. Let us hope I can make that happen. If not, I am going to be very angry on wednesdays.

Lets see did I mention everything major in my life right now?

-School? Check
-FA? Check
-Bank Exploitations? Check
-Getting a Job? Check
-Computer fail? Check
-Registration fail? Check

That is pretty much me in a nut shell right now.

Other random things on my mind:
-Foreigner
-Why do my stocks suck right now?
-The future Mrs. John Kisling. Who will she be?
-College. Am I doing it right?
-Why can't I focus on school right now?
-Casper's
-Christmas shopping. I am so going to procrastinate this year I can feel it.
-Damn I keep forgetting to look for internships for the summer.

The mind of Kisling. It never rests!



Ok time for some fun.

I love this.



Jerry Seinfeld you know so much about people.



I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Probably the funniest Simpson's moment for me.




Thank you for reading.

I'm writing so much now, it's crazy. I have to write 60 pages in two classes alone before the semester is over. I'm serious. I'm going insane, but as a result my stories are becoming that much more awesome. I have to write a script for my screenwriting class, and I will be sharing it here when I get it finished. I'm pretty happy with it so far (I haven't started.)

Things I feel bad about: 1.)I like the new weezer album. Well, I like most of it.

2.)I want to play call of duty modern warfare 2. I want to buy modern warfare 2. It's an empty dream; I care not.

3.) I've been using online fortune cookie generators to come up with ideas for stories even though it isn't working.

4.) I went running today. Not that far, but too far. I am the most out of shape I have ever been in my entire life. I saw a picture of my on my 16th birthday and I was so buff because I had been doing Kung Fu and because I was still in P.E.

I need a healthier life style.



NOVEMBER IS SO TIGHT THOUGH.

So much stuff is coming out. I want to buy it all up. Video games, music, movies. MOVIES. THE ROAD. Fantastic Mr. Fox!

But then I think about Christmas and I realize I have not that much money to be frivolous with it.

And I don't know what to do. I'm torn.



Torn like a piece of paper.



This audio class I'm in is the most amazing thing ever. But I'm really bad at it, so I don't know how my grade in the class is going to add up. That's something about college that's been really hard for me. In K-12, I got used to at least the general subject matter. Math, History, English, Science. Okay. Cool, I can do that. But you through in some new thing like boom-op or Pro Tools and it messes everything up. My groove, it is thrown off. I'm out of my element. And that acting class I'm in-W.T.F. I feel bad doing any work for that class because I know it's such a huge waste of my time and yet I still really suck at it. There are two people in that class that are 30. THIRTY! The closest person to me is 22. 22! Worst choice of my entire life to take that class. That's not true. But it was pretty stupid. NO. Not even stupid, just unlucky. I didn't want to take it. I wanted to take f-ing microeconomics because I WAS SUPPOSED TO MY FRESHMAN YEAR AND I FINALLY HAD A CHANCE OF GETTING IN BUT I GOT BUMPED BY SOME DWEEP TARDHOLE THAT SHOWED UP 20 MINUTES LATE.

But I motherfucking digress.





I think I'm going to write every line of my script in haiku. It would be really hard, but so awesome beyond reproach. It would be like an instant A for all current and future screenwriting classes.






hahaha poor kid. You can't blame him though. They probably paid him pretty well and just told him "Hey brush your teeth enthusiastically." And he was probably like "this is dumb," but then his heinous asshole mother, ignoring his pleas, started scolding him and telling him to use more tongue on the inside of his cheek so he could be a big famous actor one day.

I am so excited about what I just figured/found out.

Ok. Twilight is not my kind of movie. Or book.
BUT this new movie has a pretty good soundtrack. Really good.
And my favorite song from it is this:

No Sound but the Wind by the Editors.


Now at first I just thought the fact that it had strong similarities to The Road was just a coincidence.
But after a while I started to think, This guy must have been influenced by the Road. It had to be!
So just now I researched. And I found this.

A fan posted this in a comments section of a lyrics website:
"This is the version of the song, played in the summer of 2008 at Paredes de Coura (Portugal) This song was inspired directly by the book "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Is a post-apocalyptic novel in which a father and his son travel along a road surviving after what looks a nuclear disaster. The ashes surround everything and the dust is so dense the sunlight can't pass through it. The few human survivors succumb to primary instincts such as cannibalism. But it's also a touching and deeply emotional book because of the relationship between father and son. Like a tiny ray of light in the middle of hell. Tom Smith said that he read the book around the time he found out he was going to be a father himself, so the book affected him in a special way."


AHHHH-HAA!

it so perfect.
except for the fact that its in the twilight soundtrack.
but at least it exists.

So to re-cap
I love The Road
I love this song.

Actually the whole twilight thing makes me a little more mad then I am letting on or realizing.
But it doesnt matter.


The Road.


that matters.

November, We Meet Again

This weekend went by so fast. Even with the extra hour of time. Last week was very stressful for me with a combination of massive FA responsibilities and midterms. So this weekend was very good stress relief fun for me. On Friday night I went to the Queen Mary "Shipwreck" and the Long Beach Yard House with the FA Board for a night of fun. It was enjoyable and a great way to start the weekend. The Queen Mary was not too scary so that was good. I've never really liked to whole "I love to be scared" fad. The Yard House dinner in downtown Long Beach was the best part. Lots of talking, laughing, and eating.

Then saturday was Halloween. Halloween 2009 ranked pretty well in the spectrum of all my halloweens. It was really fun, especially the Murder in the Dark game.

So yeah i've been writing this blog for a while now. My computer has been having problems lately, so it has been a struggle to get this post posted. Either I get an internet connectivity problem or my computer just crashes. Thanks Vista. Windows 7, you better be good!
