Woo hoo I'm getting ready to go watch "The Bourne Supremacy" I'm excited!! I really liked "The Bourne Identity" - I just hope that its not sold out : ( I'll be sure to get back on here tonight to let you know how it was!! It's also getting ready to come a HUGE storm!! 8-o I'm scared...*shivers* j/k but we totally need the rain...Our grass is dying...well pooh my bf just called and I have to drive myself to the theatre cuz the movie starts in 10 minutes...grrr o well...Talk to you all later...

I don't know what I want. And that is a conversation so long and convolluted and full of idiosynchratic twists and turns that I don't even want to begin attempting to post it all here. I'm quite lazy this days, and in addition to that.. I want to just blurt it all out to somebody. Mind you, I've already talked with Javert about much/most of it, but that's not working for me. I'd attempt to discuss this with AF or any of the other peripheral friends I have right now, but there are basically only two whom I'd really be willing to do so. Oy! or BNL. Mostly because they're what I consider to be fresh perspective conjoined with "source variables" (meaning I think of them as having influenced my current mental predicament), and I'm the type of guy that tends to dive headfirst into "problems" or "sources of problems" or "quotation marks".

Now... people dont know this, but I'm a "good student" but I'm also a "bad student"... I mean... I'm not a GOOD learner; Through high school [and college].... I've taken advantage of my memory... I am able to "cram" [memorize] things pretty easily, for tests/quizes etc.. I'd MEMORIZE ["study"] all I could in an hour or two... go into the exam the next day and basically "Drop off" what I've memorized [lol] and do good too, but the "problem" is... if you gave me the SAME test a few weeks later... I'd probably completely bomb it, but no one has ever done that, so I REALLY donno, but I'm sure thats what would happen. I can fairly easily memorize A LOT. So... when I took the test earlier in the day... I got some questions wrong, but I had [without even knowing it] memorized the right answers [lol], and I still hadnt opened that "manual" once... lol. My mind frame was just "Y not... if I mess up... I can just read the book and take it 2morrow anyway"! But I went in there and just prayed that I got there on time and for the test, had I gotten there and they JUST closed [lol]... lets not comments about that ; ) But I gave her my I.D's and stuff and she set me up on a machine... lol... they [Joe and Chris] told me that the test would be different and stuff, but only about 5-8 questions were different... the rest were pretty my the EXACT same, I found my self answering the questions b/4 I got done READING em [lol]... I didnt TRY to memorize it... but it just seemed like I was JUST taking it over again [within seconds]... lol... I was done in about 10 mins and had 90[something]% on it.... I still tripped up on 2 questions though : ( I was sorta mad about that... 4real... but I wasnt trippin' [lol]. So yeah.... they said I should have that in a few weeks.... gave me some piece of paper to hold till then :p

Wow awesome weather this weekend! Julie's brother Scott from Mobile, Alabama was visiting this weekend and stayed over night. He left early this morning to head back home. A very relaxing time yesterday afternoon and evening and then some awesome fireworks in the next town over. Amarie got the cotton candy she wanted and some kind of toy that looks like a yo yo. Ted worked on his Cat SCRAM today. A few pulsating spinklers, an irrigation valve, some wiring, a motion sensor and a relay. Put it together and we have an improved Cat SCRAM with better coverage of the beach. How does it work? If either one of those cats have any idea about doing their thing in the sand on the beach... their motion activates the relay, which turns on the water valve, and viola! the cat gets soaked! Neat hun?! Also did some more sledge hammering on the rocks under the end of the house. Been excavating the storage area for all the beach junk. Poured cement floor for the back half but got these darn big rocks to get out in the front half. Got maybe another cubic foot of rock out today. Maybe 15 cubic foot to go. Geesh, a few swings and Ted's got blisters on his hands.
