When The Morning Comes.

Well as always in my life when ever something starts to look up its sure to come raining down in a shit storm of depression.

Lets talk about the most prominent subject of my life of the last 3 weeks. Jesus. Yeah I know one of the last topics I would be likely to talk about. But ever since Joe took me to that crazy person rock church, things have been different. Like the day after when I started reading that book I mentioned in the last blog things have started to make sense somewhat. I've even subscribed to the podcast that they have of the sermons. Eric the lead pastor uses different technique to help you understand what exactly hes saying, although I still feel a bit reserved about devoting my life to this belief because I'm not sure I totally believe it yet. It seems odd but I keep thinking if I were to go to a pagan ritual or some other religious mass of some sort that I would have the same feelings about those religions. But I am starting to feel comfortable with Christianity and the Crossing Church, I just need some questions answered about homosexuality and how they see it. When I was younger, when I first started to notice my feelings towards members of my own sex, I tried so hard to believe in god, but it just felt as though god had turned its back on me. (I say it because I don't feel comfortable in addressing the Christian god as a man or a woman). I've even started listening to sermons on my commute to and from school, its kinda weird.

This part is an apology to my friend Nat. I'm sorry that I said what I did. I've had a lot of time to think things over and no I am not in love with you, although at the time I wrote that I fully believed that I was. In all reality you were simply the last guy that I had an extreme affection for. And I think Mel White in his book describes what I'm going through right now the best way. I'm in love with love. I was never actually in love with you I was just in love with the thought of being in love you. I'm sorry if this is still a bit awkward but its the best way I can say it.

Oddly I had met someone shortly after my last blog post. We were introduced through my cousin Emily. His name is Nathan, I know another Nathan! But he seemed genuinely into me and I was into him too, but not like a huge amount. I thought my feelings for him more interesting than anything else, because I didn't have those fantasy's of us in 10 years with a couple of kids and a dog in a house and what not. Nope not even once. And I thought that hey seeing as how the guys I do usually fantasize about like that are never interested in me like that, that maybe it was a good sign that maybe just maybe I could actually have a relationship with someone. So it was going alright we talked just about everyday for a week and then on the next Friday we went to go see Clash of the Titans. I thought it went fairly well for my first date ever. We went out to eat at the local pub type bar, had some burgers, unfortunately my family showed up there too. I am lucky how ever to have such a good big sister to rush my parents out of the bar when she noticed us. But after that we went for a walk in the city park and then to the movie. It was only a half-decent movie, for me anyway. Well we got back to my place hugged good bye, and just as he was going in for a kiss the outside lights flipped on and out comes my sister. I was ticked but hey what can you do? So we agreed to meet up again a Shooters tonight. But then all of the sudden things went wonkey. He hasn't said more than a few sentences to me since then.

Ofcourse this just makes me feel like shit! because I keep wondering what I did wrong. Which sends me into a depressed state and eventually into Auto-pilot. So I've spent the last few days on auto-pilot. just wondering what the hell happened.

It doesn't help ether that I have 2 of my final papers due next week ether. I started writing them both, but I think I need to redo my Ethics one its complete shit, and my drug in the community one needs some work too. So this weekend will be mostly devoted to getting those done.

On thing that has been on the up side is I have gotten addicted to this show from the BBC called Skins its like some kind of weird British Dawson's Creek. But its really good I encourage every one to watch it! I've already cleared 2 seasons of it on Netflix, and the 3rd isn't out yet... soooo I don't know how long I'll have to wait for that one.

Yellowstone in about a month, I'm scared, nervous, elated, i don't know.

I think I should try and take over the Playboy Empire. I think that would be fun.



well thats all folks

Let It Go This Too Shall Pass.

Spring Break Small Town Minnesota Edition.

Well I've had a rather interesting spring break if you can really call it that. Well Spring Break for me began not last Monday but a week ago last Thursday. And the reason for that being that I always have Thursday and Friday off from school anyway. So I really only had 3 days off from school and really wish that it had been longer.

So that Thursday was kinda interesting I suppose, in the afternoon I went to go hang out with Joe and it was a pretty usual day with Joe, his bootlegged copy of Windows 7 had to be reinstalled, it seems like every time I go over there he has some problem going on with his computer. And Joe usually gets pissed at something not working right and it gets kind of uncomfortable to hang out with him when he does. But we went out to Shooters that night for some more Karaoke, and I must say that I love that place and the people that I've met and have come to refer to as a mutual friends. Although I don't think its really a place for Joe he always seems so awkward there, perhaps its better for just Emily and Myself.

Well pretty much nothing happened on Friday and Saturday that I can remember anyway. Although I spent the night over at Joe's again on Saturday because he wanted to show me this crazy ass church that he found in Elk River. The Church is called the Crossing, and it was . . . interesting to say the least. I'm not totally sure as to how I felt about it, but I do know that I felt uncomfortable because the pastor kept staring at me. Its like he automatically knew that I was the nonbeliever in the crowd. But it was a very different church service than any that I have ever been too, they had a Christian rock band playing before the sermon and the whole sermon was about tattoos and how god had your name tattooed on his hands. Of course the catch was that in order to get into heaven, was to get onto gods hand and you could only do that by pledging your life to him. So yeah I was kind of uncomfortable. Joe took the pledge prayer, and I say it like its an occult because thats what it kind of felt like, but I was glad for Joe because I really do respect the morals and what not of Christianity, its just the people that I tend to have a problem with.

After we got back from the service and I had informed Joe that no I am not a christian and simply went because he asked me to. We went back to his place and he "gave me" a copy of the Sims 3. And let me just tell you that that game is freaking amazing but I got pissed because my Sims lover adopted a kid! And that kid is a little asshole I hate that kid! And I feel fine about hating a kid because its a video game, a very very addicting video game. So spent a lot of time playing it on Monday to from what I remember. But It was so nice out on Monday that I had to go on a bike ride!

Now I have like 4 papers looming in the near future that I need to get done, so when I went for my bike ride on Monday I had an agenda which is always nice instead of just aimless peddling. I went over to the local library, to search for some research material on the paper that I'm writing for my Ethics class (that I just found out I failed the midterm to, and I mean I really failed that shit!). I decided to write on the topic of whether or not it can be found ethical for church organizations and churches to help homosexual people try and change/ suppress their sexual orientation. Of course I take a negative stance on the subject. I've been getting kinda pissed though because I haven't been able to really find anything put out there from churches or other supporting it. Oh well. But I found this one book that I've been reading now thats fairly interesting its called Stranger At The Gate by Mel White. Its about a very Christian man who became a pastor and in the late 80's or early 90's came out of the closet. Its just primarily about his life and trying to deal with Homosexuality and being Christian in America. I have to say that the combination between this book and the crazy church, has been brewing up some mixed feelings and at this moment in time I'm not so sure as to what my religion is as where I almost been so certain.

Tuesday was spent reading this book and well part of Wednesday, but on Wednesday I was more concerned with getting my green on because it was St. Patrick's Day! In the mid afternoon I took my bike into the bank to get some cash to go out that night, well turns out that MCTC its a gigantic Douche. On my previous statement from my bank I had like 40 bucks still in my account and this was just after I had moved more money from my savings into my checking in order to not overdraft. So I went out to see a movie Alice in Wonderland (I'm sure y'all remember my rant on that movie from the last blog) and then I rented some movies. and like 5 bucks to get me into the parking garage at school that put me down to about 2 or 3 dollars in my checking, still above over drafting. Well that was until MCTC charged me for some lunches that I bought back in February. I was so pissed because that sent me into over drafting and I had yet again no idea and my bank has a very shitty reputation of not telling you when you overdraft. So 80 some dollars in overdraft fees later I'm flat broke I now have no money in my checking or my savings.

My Dad was nice enough to give me some money to go out and party that night though, and boy did I party! I went out to the Saloon with Shaka the black guy I told y'all about last time. Well some of my others friends showed up there too! Zeek and Orin came and we all hung out, drank, conversed, and all around had a good time. I was intoxicated but not nearly to the point that I have been before. I had my usual of whiskey and coke, now I asked for Windsor but apparently thats to much of a hick/straight liquor for a gay bar. So they gave me some kinda nasty whiskey instead. But on top of that I also had my first Appletini as well as my first Guinness, I rather like the Guinness. After the bar closed we went out to a Denny's, where we had less than medioce food. And then because I was intoxicated I spent the night at Shaka's house. I got like next to no sleep what so ever. Not that other things where going on because they weren't, but because I was on a rock hard futon and at like 7 in the morning the rest of his family were up and getting ready for school/work. It was nuts. But I did get some sleep after they had left, just to wake up at like 11. So I got no more than 4 hours of sleep that day. Shaka and me talked for a few hours and then he took me to my car and I went to go pick up Max.

Max and I had set up that he was going to come over to my house on Thursday and spend the night. so his house was fairly easy to get to seeing has how I had already been in the cites and he lives in Hopkins. It was a blast hanging out with Max! We played SmashBro's which he beat may ass in, but that very understandable seeing as how he only plays it competitively.  I have to admit that I didn't really know what to do for him because well Cambridge isn't the most exciting town in the world. But after my parents went to be we played the newly bought Wii Fit Plus which was good for a few laughs, then he showed me a very ridiculous web cite called Chatroulette, where we gave shit to many people and saw quite a few penises. We watched some vids on youtube and then I for the second night in a row went to be at 4 in the morning. but this time I got up at like 10 so I got like 6 hours that day. . . which still wasn't enough. But I made pancakes which I usually do for friends who stay the night at my place. After we had eaten we played more Smash and then watched more youtube vids. And before I forget to mention we discovered the amazingness of the fucked up singer Tiny Tim! I'll post a vid of him on here seriously hes amazing! Well after all of this it was time to return Max to Hopkins. I thought it would be easy as pie to get him back home... I was wrong. I thought that if I took 169 from Princeton that it would stay 169 all the way down. NOPE it turns into 101 and then into nothing at all. So we had to do some back tracking to get on to 94 from 101 and then I took the wrong exit on to 494 instead of 694/94 so yep we had to back track again to 94 then onto 169 again... Then I found out on my way back home that it was all unnecessary because 169 turns into 47 in Anoka and 47 will take you right up to 5 which is just a short jog over to 7 which brings you right up over to my house. . . But it was crazy cuz Max was kinda freaking out the whole time going back to his house because he has a slight fear of getting lost.

I passed out at like 7 on Friday night because I was so sleepy, then yesterday I slept for awhile trying to catch up on sleep.

And today I had to do another stupid ass study guide for Ethics class that I had completely forgotten about, I had like 4 things I had to read for it so it took like all day to do, but at least I got it done. It was a bit easier to understand because we are finally out of the dumbass Theory section and finally into the actually application of Ethics.

Blah! this one was kinda long.....

I might be getting together with my friend Nat from Camp Courage. I'm really excited about it because I've come to realize somethings that I didn't at the time about my feelings towards Nat. I knew that I liked him in more than a friend way, but I kinda pushed those feelings away because I thought it was just because every one else was getting into relationships and that I had went into camp expecting to get into a relationship to. But I now realize that I really did fall in love with him. I don't care if he is straight, or repressing his sexuality because of his religion, or what ever it is that he is. I just know that I fell in love with him and I need to come to terms with that and I need some kind of closer or something. And to Nat who I know reads this I'm sorry I this makes you feel uncomfortable I just wanted to get that out there, and I have no intention to pursue anything other than friendship from you, unless otherwise approved by you. Also the things that I wanted to talk about were the mixed up religious feelings that I've been having.


So long y'all

Living In The Sunlight Loving In The Moonlight Having A Wonderful Time!

Do You Know Why A Raven Is Like A Writing Desk?

Well I have some news! If any of you out there are my friends on Facebook you probably already know, but I got the Job at Yellowstone! I'm going to be working at a really nice area its right on Yellowstone lake, its called Grant Village. Its supposed to be very laid back. Which will be nice. I get a vehicle to drive around in because apparently its more spread out than the other resorts there and I get bear mace! For the Bears! 




School has been going alright. Not really a whole lot to report on there. Although things have been getting a bit more interesting of late in my circle of friends. This semester we have been gaining new people like crazy! its unbelievable and most I can't stand! Well there was this one girl Anna who I wasn't fond of she is one of those types that is constantly talking about how she is in love with every guy that she meets. Well it was on a Tuesday and normally i don't care for Tuesdays at school I get there about 3pm and study or something until 5:30 when I have class, well this Anna was there and remarkably we started talking about The Three Musketries. Well since then she has kinda grown on me, and shes even fall into a habit of calling me Aramis my favorite of the Musketries. 


Also we have gotten a new black guy too, his name is Shaka. Hes pretty cool, oh yeah hes gay. But I've noticed that he kinda has a thing for me which is cool. Hes a cool guy and hes got a big ol' bubble but that its nice to look at. I don't know if I really want like a relationship to come out of our current friendship but I'll let what ever happens happen. Although its kinda hard to do that, because I've also started talking to this guy in my Intro to Criminal Justice class who is super cute! Hes from New Jersey and extremely hansom! Right now all we do is chit chat and say hi to each other when we see each other in the hall way or something. So although its a long shot there is always that possibility too. 


I bought a new jacket last week, its so nice i love it to death! Its a Jean Jacket! I am so happy that they are back in style because I really have missed them! 


I had the well the dirty dirty again. It was not good at all, Josh set it up with a neighbor boy of his so Josh was in the back ground. It was really weird, and to have complete emotional detachment like that really fucked me up.   and on top of that I apparently broke the neighbor boy. I can't do that again it just wasn't right. I feel awful about it so I here by swear off sex until I am in a committed relationship! lets hope it sticks.


I went to see the new Tim Burton film Alice in Wonderland. My God was that a peace of shit movie, Burton has really lost his edge. I really like his last movie Sweeney Todd sure I thought Johnny Depp was all wrong for the part but a good movie. But now its just getting to be to much! Does Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter really need to be in everything that he makes??? I just don't think that Burton has the creative edge that he did in his older movies. Like Sleepy Hallow that was an excellent movie! But it just isn't there any more, so this new Alice in Wonderland was more like a sequel to what is usually considered Alice in Wonderland which is a combination of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The characters were completely wrong! Not one of them was portrayed correctly in my opinion. 
All I can say is if Burton even tries to do a remake of the Wizard of Oz I will punch him so hard that he will wish that he never became a director. Because we all already know who would be playing the Scarecrow (Johnny Depp) and the Wicked Witch of the West (Helena Bonham Carter), and he would completely destroy that story too, Judy Garland would be rolling in her grave! You know what version of Alice I did like though was the Hallmark one that was pretty good.


But there is still a glimmer of hope out there in the movie industry and its name is Quentin Tarantino! And it also happens to be the night of the Academy Awards! And Tarantino is up for an Oscar for Inglorious Bastards! As is Christoph Waltz for his roll in the movie! good luck to the both of you!


OH MY GOSH I ALMOST FORGOT!
I have finally discovered the wonders of A Very Potter Musical! its amazing if you haven't seen it check it out on youtube its amazingly funny!

So long for now yea'll!






Rain makes corn, Corn makes whiskey, Whiskey makes my baby feel a little frisky!

Old Yellerstone.

Oh my gosh has it really been like a flippin month since I have blogged last? It has! And guess what nothing has really happened. I've been pretty busy with school it takes up a lot of time. I really hate my criminal justice class it sucks so bad. It really shouldn't be that bad but my teacher the crazy pill lady one is a super crazy liberal, she drives me fucking crazy.

I suppose I should talk a little bit about the love life. On the last full update I mentioned that there was this really cute guy named Per that I was into. Well he got weird and shit on me and right when I thought he was getting better and I was... well you know putting myself out there. He told me that he really isn't into me at all. Well I would have liked it if he had just told me that in the first place, but what ever I started to realize hes a big ole' douche bag. So what ever love is as usual stagnant.

Oh last weekend I went up to Red Lake with a huge group of people for fishing, It was Terry, Ross, Emily, My Dad, Kendall (Emily's boyfriend),  a couple of Terry's friends, Nate (my cousin Jodi's bo), My uncle Dave, and his brothers, Hailey, Cole, Hailey's boyfriend Joey, and a few of Dave's friends.  Well the guy running the fishing service up there was a meth-head or something and didn't have his shit together. So Dave and his group were left without a place to sleep or fish and had to drive back to Grand Rapids that night. They just went home the next day. Which is what the rest of should have done too, but no we stuck it out. Even though we really didn't catch a whole lot. In fact I caught no fish at all.

Have you been watching the Olympics? I've been watching as much as I can catch. I just love the Olympics. I can't help but wish I would do that stuff, with the winter Olympics its mostly the Curling and the Figure Skating that I want to do. During the Summer Olympics I'd really like to the cycling. that would be so amazing!

I've been thinking about writing a book, its actually something that I've been thinking about like everyday. It started last month when my friend Eva was able to muster up a SteamPunk miniature tea party. It was pretty fun, and ever since then I've been thinking about doing a SteamPunk themed book. And just a week or 2 ago I decided that it should be a reworking of the Wizard of OZ. We'll see what I can do with it, I haven't started anything yet because I'm not sure how to start it. It can't be the typical OZ story, it has to be different.

Well the last thing I really have to talk about relates to the title of this blog. In a previous blog I mentioned that I had applied to work at Yellowstone national park, well I have an interview on Tuesday to work there in security over the summer! Which if I get (and I do have a good feeling that I will), it means that I will have to contact Camp and inform them that I won't be working there next summer. Its not something that I'm looking forward to, but it dose help that I haven't signed the contract for Camp yet.

So thats pretty much my month in a nut shell.

I'll try and write more!
love you guys!

If you got some sugar for me, Sugar Daddy bring it home.

the randomnis of last night.

Ok so noghting big going on in this blog. Just talking about my boreing but interesting night last night.
My friend from High School Laura put a qoute from Star Wars on her facebook status last night, I made a comment on if had been Nepoleon who had said it, it was a comment from Yoda about how little he is, well Laura and myself pogressivly got more and more into this conversation, it was terrably nerdy.

Laura Swanson Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.Yesterday at 7:10pm · Comment ·LikeUnlikeRebecka Marie Swanson likes this.

Jacob D Swanson didn't Napoleon say that?

Yesterday at 7:31pm · Laura Swanson Yoda. From Star Wars...

Yesterday at 9:12pmJacob D Swanson it must have been from the new movies. I only watch the old ones.

Yesterday at 9:14pm · Laura Swanson It is from the old ones. When Luke is on Dagobah and Yoda is training him, and Luc thinks it's impossible to lift the X-wing 'cause it's too big.

Yesterday at 9:18pmJacob D Swanson damn it :( *hangs head in shame*

Yesterday at 9:19pm · Laura Swanson It's ok, Jake! If anything, that just means I'm a bigger nerd than people think I am, which is saying a lot! ;p hehehe, I just love Star Wars.... a lot. I wish I could be a Jedi... I mean, I'm a Jedi.

Yesterday at 9:26pmJacob D Swanson my lightsaber is rainbow, i'm not sure as to what that means....

Yesterday at 9:27pm · Laura Swanson I have to single-blade yellow lightsabers. It's much cooler than having a double-bladed lightsaber, although my husband disagrees with me on that point. I always used to think I'd have a green one, until the day I tried yellow. Now there's no going back...

Yesterday at 9:29pmLaura Swanson I mean two, not to

Yesterday at 9:30pmJacob D Swanson lol, well I would have to agree with you, there are just to many things that could go wrong with have a 2 bladed saber.

Yesterday at 9:31pm · Laura Swanson yep. Classic example is the duel in Episode 1 between Darth Maul, Qui-Gon, and Obi-wan, when Obi-wan slices Darth Maul's double-bladed lightsaber in half, leaving him more vulnerable, and therefore, easier to fight against.

Yesterday at 9:35pmLaura Swanson Although Maul does look pretty darn awesome flipping over his double-saber...

Yesterday at 9:36pmLaura Swanson but I'd rather have two single blades. Much easier to control.

Yesterday at 9:36pmJacob D Swanson well I was thinking theres more of a chance to slice yourself in half.

Yesterday at 9:37pm · Jacob D Swanson I'd rather just stick with one and use the force to make it fly around killing evil peoples.

Yesterday at 9:39pm · Rebecka Marie Swanson laura your such a nerd! :) I love you!!

Yesterday at 9:40pmLaura Swanson haha, yeah, but if you're skilled with the Force, there's no need to worry. And there's a whole new fighting style that you learn when using a double-blade versus single-blade. I still think I'd prefer single, but it's nice to be versatile.

Yesterday at 9:42pmJacob D Swanson but a dule bladed lightsaber is big and clunky.

Yesterday at 9:43pm · Laura Swanson yeah, but it can be made to look elegant if you know how to use it. But seriously, how cool would that be to just come at someone with one lightsaber (single-blade) in each hand and go totally Jedi on their... bums? So much cooler than a duel-blade, I agree. And there is so much more room for movement, too! Yep, single-blades are the way to go.

Yesterday at 9:48pmDenise Lutterman I agree with Becky! It's almost scary!

Yesterday at 9:56pmRebecka Marie Swanson wow her and luc really were made for each other.. lol I know!! lol

Yesterday at 9:57pmLaura Swanson Hey, I may be a nerd, but to me that's a compliment! That's what gives me my awesome powers... Hey, mum, remember when I was younger and I asked you if there was such thing as the Force, and you said "In a way, yes! God is like the Force"... I still believe you.

Yesterday at 9:59pmDenise Lutterman It's almost creepy the thought and detail she puts into this stuff! hahah! I know it's REAL in her head! ;)

Yesterday at 9:59pmJacob D Swanson what being nerdy isn't sacry its sad. although it would be scary if there was a nerd running around a school killing stupid people with sharpend pencils that he keeps in his pocket protector!

Yesterday at 9:59pm · Denise Lutterman Laura, God is a FORCE! that was true!

Yesterday at 10:01pmLaura Swanson yep! and remember when Kaleb and I were convinced we were going to build our own R2-D2, and we just wanted to order some robot parts? Too bad that didn't work out...

Yesterday at 10:03pmDenise Lutterman What fun we all had then! I miss it!

Yesterday at 10:04pmLaura Swanson and yes, I know that's true! I'm God's Jedi! ;)

Yesterday at 10:05pmJacob D Swanson you can order robot parts? how long has this been going on?! So I could have been a mad scientist all along!

Yesterday at 10:05pm · Denise Lutterman ....or padawon?

Yesterday at 10:05pmLaura Swanson This was when Kaleb and I were younger, I actually don't know if you can order robot parts or not, but we had big dreams, so we thought we could do it.

Yesterday at 10:06pmJacob D Swanson I feel that this conversation has happend before.... oh yes on That 70's Show.

Yesterday at 10:06pm · Denise Lutterman Hey...Kaleb can find anything on the internet! I'm sure building a R2D2 would be a breeze!

Yesterday at 10:07pmLaura Swanson no, I'm no little padawan learner, I'm a Jedi Knight! I fight for peace and justice in the galaxy! I mean, Earth...

Yesterday at 10:07pmDenise Lutterman Oh! that's the best!

Yesterday at 10:08pmLaura Swanson Luc and I have had serious conversations about what it would be like if the Star Wars universe actually existed, and what our roles would be in said universe...

Yesterday at 10:10pmDenise Lutterman I don't doubt that! (wow)

Yesterday at 10:12pmJacob D Swanson i'd probably end up as some jerk that weres a mask all of the time and has abreathing problem, and no not like a pedophile.

Yesterday at 10:13pm · Laura Swanson I'd start out training to become a Jedi, but I don't know if I'd have much patience for the strict code that was in place during the Old Republic, so I'd probably break from the Jedi order after a while and go rogue. That would be fun.

Yesterday at 10:13pmDenise Lutterman just beware of caves with teeth!

Yesterday at 10:14pmJacob D Swanson I don't really care just as long as I get some epic theme music.

Yesterday at 10:14pm · Laura Swanson yeah, and I think we (Luc and I) would like to have lived sometime between the time of Darth Revan, when Jedi and Sith were both numerous, and Darth Bane, before he came up with the Rule of Two. So that would be long before the time of Episode 1.

Yesterday at 10:17pmJacob D Swanson but if Han and Chewy arn't around then whats the point? Oh and Carry Fisher! You've gotta have some Carry Fisher she all kinds a crazy!

Yesterday at 10:18pm · Laura Swanson yeah, but I don't like the New Republic as much as the Old. And what are the chances of me meeting them in this universe anyway?

Yesterday at 10:20pmJacob D Swanson well it was a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Yesterday at 10:21pm · Laura Swanson more like "a long time ago but somehow in the future"...

Yesterday at 10:22pmJacob D Swanson lol Family Guy?

Yesterday at 10:23pm · Laura Swanson hehe, yeah. :)

Yesterday at 10:24pmLaura Swanson I like when the Emperor discovered the formula for great dialogue... "Something something something Dark Side. Something something something Complete."

Yesterday at 10:25pmJacob D Swanson my favorite part of that eppisode is when the huge battle is going on and in drives the Griswalds from the national Lampoon vacation movies. I laughed so hard I nearly wet myself.

 

Then we started having a seperate conversation over her little sister Anna's facebook. I can't seem to find that conversation but it was pretty much a Awsomness war between Laura and Me. It was sweet. Then Donnie posted this pic that I isntantly thought that he looked like he was about to be raped so I ofcourse commented on this.

 

 

Jacob D Swanson oh look at donnie just laying there ready to be raped at any second.

Yesterday at 10:17pm · Donnie Tompkins lol I dont even wanna know whats running through your head!

Yesterday at 10:22pm · Jacob D Swanson boredum thats about it.

The Monsters are buried down deep inside.

Lets Give Them Something To Talk About!

Oh my it has been a crazy ass new year so far! So many things to tell about!

Ok so I already blogged about the new years party I believe, so now everything that happend after that....
Well the Sunday right after New Years I went down to the Gay 90's with Josh, Kathryn, and Jess for Kathryn's birthday party. Well as Josh and I are driving down to the 90's I ended up hitting a gigantic ice chunck that just came out of no where! After that the car was driving kinda funny, I thought maybe I have a flat, but I didn't really think about it. So we go to the 90's, I'm dancing with Jess down in the Techno room having a good time, Josh had dissapeared somewhere, and guess who shows up, my old friend Amy. Now I hadn't talked to Amy in some time mainly because she just pissed me off to the point that I didn't want to hang with her anymore. But I've tryed to put that behind me now. But she wasn't the only suprise guest! But who else showed up you ask?! It was non other than Robbie the creepo how took my virginity. but I avoided him. So after a while Jess and I got tired of the techno room and we went up to the retro room. And thats where things got interesting.

There was this guy who you could tell was pretty hammered, whom was trying really to dance with anyone who ould give him the attention. Well I danced with him a bit the song changed and I went back to dancing with my friends. well like 2 songs later were dancing together again... up on the little stage area... and he must have been very horny. I wasn't looking for anything other than a good time and the guy wasn't really what you would call my "type". But I thought what the hell I'm actually getting action at the 90's this is a first. well the grinding that he called dacing slowly tuned into make out dancing. It was really hot, but I did feel an awful lot like a slut. well any way his friends draged him off cuz they had to go. I went back to my friends, and then not more than like 10 min later Kathryn comes to me saying that Josh had been kicked out of the club, for getting cought drinking underage.

yeah now stay with me the story gets better.

Remeber the gigantic ice chunk? Well turns out that it did give me a flat! so at 1 in the morning in the parking lot of a gay club I had to change a tire. I think I'm probably one of the only people to have done that. it took a while thought because the jack was kind of frozen. Well we got the spare on and were on our way back home. But Josh apparently was very unsatisfyed with the night so out of pity I kissed him, this made him feel much better. Ofcourse it pobably helped that he was buzzed. He also took his pants off at one point on the drive home. Oh yeah did I mention that it was like -32 out when I changed the tire. yeah thats right bitches I'm a real MAN!

So on I think it was Tuesday I took the tire in to see if it could be fixed. Turns out that the tire was just fine, the rim it was on on the other hand was not... and finding a new chrome rim was going to be like 300 some dollers to get. yeah. well luckly my mom found me a new one on ebay. but it didn't come in the mail untill monday. now I had to go to school on monday as well (first day of spring semester). So what the hell was I to do about getting back down to the cities? I could only dirve on the spare for so long before it would start to fuck my car up. So with no other options I went out to Willmar with my Mom to get my Dad's work car... and let me tell you something Willmar is not fun at all! Although we did go Bowling and that was enjoyable except for the still healing sprained ankle that I acuiered frome dancing to flamboiently to Judy Garland..... I know I'm gay, SHUT UP!...

So I took Dad's car back, ofcourse I had to stop at St. Cloud for only the most amazing game of D&D that we have played yet. this game just keeps getting better and better! You see what happend was Jayson's character is a wizard well Jayson the block head tried making a deal with a devil right in front of my Palidin! So naturally I tryed to kill him. but I wasn't rolling very well so no luck. Then Dusty's character trying to calm me down offers up a bunny, that Rob's character ate. Then Bob's character stabbed me in the back nearly killing me. Well they healed me and then Rob's half orc clobberd Bob's drou. It was amazing. but any way we finaly finnished the first part of the story. It was crazy amazing fun!

Ok so now on to Monday! Oh what a day that was! First day of school! I had my Tai Chi class at 10:30am which was interesting its one that I'm looking forward to. then I have a nice 2 hour break then I go to Ethics. I already hate ethics. It probably dosn't help that I think that Philosophy is probably the most bullshit thing one can study, but I have to take the damn class for my degree. My teacher is super monotone, and I think that he thinks that hes Freud because hes got the whole pointy beard and thick rimmed cirular glasses and nice suit coat thing going. Can anybody say Duche BAG! Well at least its a short class. after that I have another 2:35 min break untill Intro to Criminal Justice. Get this my teacher's name is Scully, I thought it was funny, oh and I have a class mate with the last name McClane (gett it Die Hard). So my teacher is very liberal, and I'm pretty sure that she mixes her meds and her alcohol because that bitch is crazy. Crazy like my grandma, but my grandma dosn't hail Obama in everyother sentance.

so that was just a run down of the monday classes. now on my breaks inbetween its pretty fun, I get to hang out with a lot of my friends, you know Max, Eva, Ian, Nathan, and the rest. but on monday when I was talking with Eva about how I finally finished the Twilight seares, some one made a comment about why. He imideatly cought my attention and well in the days since our inital meeting we have already started to become pretty good friends.

This mystery guys name is Per, pronounced like pair or pare. He is super tall, if you know my family at all the best assesment i can give for his hight would be about the same size as Patrick. Hes a litte younger than me, but he is super cute and well I fall to fast for guys. On wendsday (the next time I saw him) we only bonded more, turns out he was into theater in high school too, and he plays D&D, so when I cracked a joke about worshipping Helm he was pretty much the only one laughing. (we were talking about religion). Well we had us a Skype chat last night for a good 4+ hours, I learned a lot about him, turns out he just got out of an akward relationship  like 2 weeks ago so if I really want to prasue a relationship with I'll have to wait a little bit. but the part is that I ACTUALLY have a chance with him. (this will be suprising to my camp friends).

Would it be creepy and stalker ish if I posted a Picture of him on here that I got of his profile? probably. lets do it anyway.

yeah it was weird.

Oh another Pic I want to post is that of my friend Max I was having fun playing with his very long hair on wendsday.

Ok so my other classes! Tuesday nights I have Drugs and the Community, which I think is gunna be a pretty cool class even though its like 3 hours long. and on Wendsday I have the same first 2 classes but insted of Intro to Criminal Justice its American Sign Language 1. which its really fun too. I already know how to ask your name, tell you my name, ask you where you live, tell you where I live, say wether I'm a student or teacher, and how to count to 10!

well is this blog over yet? I think so.

Hugs and Kisses

Not a loser anymore like the last time and the time before. Maybe this time I'll win!

Here It Goes Again!

EH! Its the first day of the new year, of the new decade! And I feel like shit! I went out to Ross and Laura's last night to party with them and some of their friends. It was soooooo much fun but I had way to much to drink! I was mixing Vanilla Schnapps with Vanilla Coke, it was delicious, but I aslo drunk a lot of Laura's punch which had a lot of Vodka in it. At least I wasn't as nearly plastered as Ross. I sware that guy is one of the biggest hicks in the world! At one point last night he and some of the other guys chopped a can of green beans open with a hatchet and heated them up in the wood heater. Any way it was a crazy night, and like always I remember every second. I don't know why I can do that but its pretty sweet.

I remember at one point durring the night I was laying on my cot trying to fall asleep, but I could feel all of these bubbles poping in my stumach and I thought my mind was popping them and therefor preventing me from throwing up, the only explanation I could come up with at the time was that that it must have been my Vampire power, like Bella Swan's from the Twilight. But mine was that I could get drunk and not throw up by being able to pop the bubbles in my stumach. IDK I was pretty damn wasted last night.

I got to talking to this one guy at the party, his name is Patrick, now I've seen this guy about before out at shooters and such, but i've never talked to him. Well I'm glad that I did he was a really cool guy. I had to try and focus to keep myself from jumping on him, cuz he is damn good looking. But I was able to contain myself! which is good cuz hes not gay, but when ever is a guy that I like in that way actualy gay? answer: seldom.

I feel fat, I look fat, eh! I think this is what my new years resalution needs to be. Not loose wait and get a great body, but insted just get healthy and start eating right and exercising regularly. I think I can do that.... hopefuly.

In my last post I totaly forgot to talk about the Camp Courage reunion! It was so much fun it was on the 19th. The few of us that went to camp ended up going sledding and what not. but after words we went to go see The Princes and the Frog which was my second time seeing it. Well not all of us went to see it though, Joe, Nicole, and Scott went to go see Avatar. But I wanted to hang out with my friends more than go see Avatar with Joe. But after words we went to Maddagins which is always fun! except they really don't ake strong drinks all I got was a slight headake. But I got to talk to Donnie! whom I love I really do love Donnie and should probably talk to him more often than I do. But I also got to see Brian and his lady friend, and I got to see Jordan and his lady friend, and Sue and her husband were there too. anyways it was a good time!

So I said in the last post I said that Josh and myself were going to see Sherlock Homes now I had no expectations for the movie I thought it looked frankly pretty damn stupid from the previews, but it was actualy a fairly good movie! I really enjoyed Jude Law as Watson.

blah blah blah

ok so yeah i'm gunna go now cuz i still feel like shit.

bye Happy 2010!
JD


Is it me or is this over as I got sober I watched you fade you away.

And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going! a new years blog blow out!

(Note: this blog was ment to be posted on Dec. 31st, but due to problems with the phone company is posted a day late).

Well its the end of the year once again! Which means that.... well it doesn’t really mean anything dose it other than its no longer 2009 and now 2010. That’s weird. You know what else is weird, when people talk about this decade its going to be called the turn of the century. And normally we associate the term "Turn of the Century" to the early 1900's and the types of houses that they built.




Well Not to much has happened since my last post. I finished my first semester at MCTC with crappy grades, Intro to Homeland Security = A, Juvenile Justice = A, Intro to Corrections = B, Police and the Community = C. Its the C that pisses me off. I could and should have done better.

I got all of that Christmas bull over with, and quickly too. which makes me happy. I truly hate Christmas. Sure my parents still get me shit even though every year I tell them not to. This year I got Inglorious Bastards, and a beard trimmer. Well I'm also getting my car fixed, not that anything is wrong with my car just a part of the tail pipe came unwelded. I also got a new winter coat. So I mostly got things that I needed.

Christmas day was alright though, I love my family and I got smashed. And it seems to be a new tradition that Emily, Ross, Cassie and I play Presidents and Assholes. We keep coming up with crazy hats for it too. Last year the asshole wore this hat that we made out of a paper bag and a plastic bag, and the president had a plastic cup tied to their head, but that was swapped out for a mullet wig. Well this year the Asshole hat was a camo safari hat with some turkey feathers stuck into it. and the Presidents hat was a tiara. It was fun.



I don't have the pictures from this last Christmas on my computer yet, sorry.

Well I have read 17 books this year! I feel very accomplished! I just finished #17 this morning. It was the last book in the Twilight series called Breaking Dawn. I didn't think it was anything fantastic.... at all. The ending really pissed me off at how overly cliché. How about a list? I like lists lets do a year in recap! With the books!

#1. the first book that I finished in the year 2009 was Wizard and Glass by Stephen King.

#2. The second had me thinking that I would never finish the series, that book was none other than what turned out to be one of my favorite movies of 2009 Stehenie Meyer's New Moon.

#3. Number three nearly broke me I didn't know how I finished in 6 days. Its titled as the first gothic novel, so I was nonetheless expecting better. It was The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole.

#4. Number 4 was one that I had been trying to read for years, but had only gotten a few chapters into each time, well I did it! It also happens to be one of my all time favorite movies, its none other than Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton.

#5. The fifth book was one that astounded and baffled me and made me love Judy Garland even more. I will always have her as my hero. The book is soon to be turned into a movie starring Anne Hathaway as Judy, to this I am not happy, I would have preferred Norah Jones better. The book is Get Happy by Gerald Clarke, who also wrote the biography of Capote.

#6. this one was a must read by my cousin, so I finally gave in to make him happy. I must say it was very eye opening, even enlightening, although I am no were near total enlightenment. I gess in a few years I'll have to read A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle again.

#7. the last book I had finished in May, and had tried very unsuccessfully to read a few other books but because of my summer job reading wasn't a high priority, so number 7 came up in august after camp was over. I instantly fell in love with this book and the struggle of the writer as she tried so hard to cook her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking Vol. 1, unfortunately the movie of Julie and Julia by Julie Powell was so off of the real Julie Powell I have no desire to watch it again.

#8. Thank God for Audio Books! As many of you know I commute an hour to get to school and the audio books are the only thing that have kept me sane, the first one that I picked up was X Files: Ruins by Kevin J. Anderson. who I realized had also written a crappy Star Wars book series that I have.

#9. The next Audio book was Salem's Lot by Stephen King, and I had grown utterly attached to it, although by far not my favorite Stephen King book, but I was sucked into the story so much that I didn't want to get out of the car when I would get to school or home.

#10. Tom Clancy's Op-Center was the next Audio book, I wasn’t impressed, although good.

#11. Book 11 was one that I had been working on reading since August, and mainly only read it for class, but I'm glad I did anyway NewJack by Ted Conover was one of the most well written books I have ever read.

#12. This one was another Audio Book and one of the last ones. Its the sequel to Jurassic Park, but unlike the first book the second was nowhere near par. The Lost World by Michael Crichton was shit don't read it.

#13. After going to a party and finding out that the main character in this series gets pregnant in the last book and with the previews for the second movie made me go out and buy it, and I loved it. well not loved it so much as love it from the other books in the series. Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer was in my opinion her master peace.

#14. was the last Audio Book it was a newly released short story by Stephen King. So naturally I loved that one too! But seriously The Gingerbread Girl by Stephen King is fantastic a must read because its so unlike his other "horror".

#15. number 15 was another that I had been trying to read for years but finally got around to finish it. Its by my favorite author its no other than Goldfinger by Ian Fleming.

#16. The furthest I had ever read in this book series was book one of the first book and that was in the ninth grade! But I couldn't truly comprehend what I was reading, my reading level I guess was just to low for the Epic Fantasy The Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. I have continued this series since I just finished number 17 this morning.

#17. of course as we all know from earlier on that the last book of the year was no other than Stephenie Meyer's Breaking Dawn. the very last book of the Twilight series.

Ok so that’s done! I don't really have to much else to say.



I'm going to see the new Sherlock Homes movie with my friend Josh today. We went to go see Avatar last week, that was an alright movie. I don't think it deserved the hype that it was getting, but it was pretty cool. After that Josh and me hung out at the house he was house sitting. (that was a weird sentence). He showed me a couple of movies that good. they were both gay movies too! The first one we watched was called Latter Days it was really good! The other one was called Shelter that one wasn't as great but we had fun going all mystery science theater on it. I have this feeling that Josh is thinking that this friendship is going to lead to a relationship. And although I could see having a relationship with him, I just don't see him in that way. Right now I'm just enjoying the friendship. Oh the struggles of being gay!



Oh and I have sad news! I know you all really don't care, but my beloved Monk Carlisle in D&D died last Sunday night. But I believe that I have created a better character in his sted. As those of us whom play D&D together know that I simply couldn't resist making a contrast to our most simple party member Thog the Halforc Barbarian who thinks that he is a Holy Paladin. No a Halforc is by far the tallest race in the game (that’s known to me). So what did I do I created a Halfling Paladin named Philliep! And he is just a total ass, I love it this is going to be so much fun! I only wished that we met more often and changed up the location from time to time, I know that our DM has to work after but we should try and work something out sometime.



Any who! I think that will be all for today!



Lots o love!

JD
