blogging to ben folds: the luckiest

I went to the store yesterday to get some eye drops, I tried to pay with my debit card but they wouldnt accept it for some reason.. anyway, I had to use the atm machine. I dont usually use the atm because I can only get out cash in intervals of $20, but this time it gave me a excuse to buy the new ben folds cd. its a great cd. a wonderful cd actually. I have been either listening to it, or thinking about it since I bought it.

I love internet cafe's. Dave Mathews playing in the background, I look out the window only to see a blanket of clouds, rain trying desperately to ruin my day. Well, damn it, its not going to happen today. My day has been going quite good actually, Im not really sure why because nothing out of the ordinary has happened.

I just called my financial planner at the Art Institute, I will be sending off my loan paperwork on monday. You wouldn't believe how much it is going to cost me to go there. I'm basically signing my life over.

oh, and I spelled witch like which in my last post and nobody told me, thanks guys. (i fixed it)

Am I the last person to know about this! Its Melissa Joan Hart, most people know her from Sabrina the teenage witch. But I remember her best from Clarissa Explains It All. You know, that old show that used to be on nickelodeon? Those were the days.

blogging to portished: mysterons

I finally got my acceptance letter from the Art Institute of Portland, I had been told that It looked like I was accepted.. but wasn't for sure.. here is how it goes;

Dear Josh,
Congratulations! The admissions committee is very pleased to offer you admission to the Art Institute of Portland.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Art Institue of Portland. Again, congratulations

Sincerely,

chairperson
admissions committee

This is great news!

hey you. I knew that shae was your friend, I think I read it in one of her bit and pieces posts before or something..

oh, and I'll tell "the person" to hurry the hell up. heheh.

photography page added. I don't claim to be a photographer, but I do like to take pictures and I hope that someone will appreciate them. It will be updated regularly with pictures that I have taken that interest me.

It's raining, its windy, I had to work late. Everything pretty much sucks.

oh, one good thing though. Mudge is back up. Its nice to have you back.

Lately it seems I have been on a creative downhill slide. I am not sure why, maybe it is because of the current situation in the U.S. waying down my mind. I sit down and make an attempt at working on some new website designs (which I usually do quite often, just for fun) and I give up after a couple of minutes, the drive has vanished. It seems as though everything is lagging right now, it has all fell by the wayside. Another thing that has been waying on my mind quite a bit lately is the fact that I am moving thousands of miles away in january. A venture that once seemed simple enough, but as it approaches it doesn't seem to be as easy as it once did. On one hand, I am excited to attend an art college, meeting people that have similar interests and open minds will be a great thing for me, something that I need. On the other hand, moving thousands of miles away from the name I have built for myself will be very strange, and difficult. I think that it is all for the best though, and I have a feeling that my worries will be set to rest once I actually get there and begin anew.

I have been waiting for the perfect moment, at work, to ask for a raise. So, yesterday I noticed that my boss was in a good mood (a rare occasion) so I decided to make my move. I expected to get shut down pretty quick. I walked up to his office and simple asked if there is any way I could get a raise. This is what he said:
"How much are you making now?"
I told him.
"Well, it looks like we have been taken advantage of you, I'll put you in for a dollar raise."

I couldn't believe it, I was nearly speechless. I said thank you and walked out. It all took less than two minutes. I have been procrastinating for months over this and it turns out that he thought I deserved a raise the whole time. damn it.

bloggin to remy zero: im not afraid

Today I celebrated my birthday, a week early. My mom is going out of town so we decided to do it today. I got some stuff for my apartment in Portland, a microwave and a vacuum cleaner. A nice gesture.

I had a nice trip yesterday, meandering around the city with no specific destination in mind. I picked up an 80 mb compact flash card for my camera, so now I can click away to my hearts content without worrying about filling up my 8 mb card.. I also went to borders and picked up a couple cd's I have wanted for quite a while. The Dandy Warhols - dandys rule ok and Red House Painters - songs for a blue guitar. Both cd's are great.

Went to anchorage again today.. (considering the current time, it would actually be yesterday). Im incredibly tired so I'll post about it later. In the meantime check out some pictures I took.
