Well what can I say? I have 1 year left at college for my current degree and soon I get to start looking for a full on "career." I honestly can't say I am looking forward to that, but I can say I am looking forward to getting out of school!

My life has been pretty uneventful since the last journal update... although I did blow up my '91 Buick Regal with the 3800 V6. :(  Oh how I miss that car, but I did get a newish 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix so not all is lost. But I will be paying it off for the next 4 years so that kinda sucks. I have been pretty much working, eating, and sleeping for the last couple years. I can't find the time to work out like I used to and it is beginning to show.

But I do have big-ish things planned for the end of this summer though! I have a family vacation to Colorado coming up! I bought a Helmet cam just for the occasion because we are going to go Kayaking at some time on the trip. I also hope to do a little 4-wheelin' if at all possible. I also hope to get some video of me screwin around on my ATV. :D I also have something that I have decided to call Zombiethon going on at my house just before the trip. It is a zombie movie marathon that me and a bunch of my friends will be watching on a 90" screen with surround sound and everything. You know the works! ;)

I can't wait to move out of my parents house though... I am hoping that once I have a full blown job I might actually be able to afford a small house and a big garage. Don't need much of a house really, just more of a home base. My dream has always been to get out and DO SOMETHING!!! I can't do that in Peoria, IL! I've always wanted to climb a mountain, or Race a car or 4 wheeler. But I can't do any of that where I live without getting yelled at or arrested... or both. All I can do is lay around the house playing games and waiting for tomorrow to come so I can go to work and do all over again. I can't say that I am complaining because I am happy, just oh so very bored. I know that I will eventually get to live out my dream, but till then I just have to work towards it.

Well, it has been a long while and much has happened. Where to begin...

I guess I'll start off by saying... I AM FINALLY OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL!!!! Screw you educational system, I'm going home... because I can't afford to move out yet. :sob:

Before I graduated though, I made sure I left my mark behind. As I have said in early journals, I have working out for some time and it payed off. I am now officially ranked second in school by push press and bench and the only guy that beat me in both accounts is juiced out of his mind so he doesn't even count!

Of course, I may be out of high school, but now I get to go to college, and I hate to say it, but I am not looking forward to it at all.

Well, that is all that I am willing to say at this moment. (Ok so I am just to lazy to go on)

(Whichever you prefer)

Well, I guess I am keeping with the theme of writing a journal every few months, but oh well.

Lets see where to begin, so far the month of December has been pretty eventful.  But the months before then... not really, just school and work.

    Well, I guess I can start from the beginning. I crashed my truck last Tuesday. But it wasn't all that bad, in fact it would have been completely fine if the darn truck didn't have a plastic bumper. But I guess I should explain what happened. It was snowing and of course a little slick, but it wasn't an "accident" per-say. I was being an idiot and slippin' around and doin' donuts and everything. So I was going sideways and one point and my tires stopped spinning so in turn my truck stopped sliding and shot off in the direction it was pointed... which just happened to be a a large cement sea wall. Like I said, it wasn't that bad, the plastic bumper basically just shattered and that was about it. All in all, about $300 worth of damage.

   But the funny thing about that little crash (besides the fact that I along with one of my friends started cracking up) is as soon as I hit the wall, everything that was broken in the truck started working again. The heat for example started working, Hooray HEAT!

    Oh yeah, I have another cousin!  No longer am I the only boy on the Emhoff side! His name is baby Will and he was born on the 17th of December, and if he ends up looking anything like his mother or father, he will be a very good looking young man.

    Oh, I finally got my Bench Press up to 290 pounds, I almost got 315, but I was sick and only got it about halfway up. (took three people to get it off, heh heh)  I am also the proud owner of the record push press of the school which is 250 pounds.  Push press in case you don't know is where you lift the weights up and over your head while your standing.  But the guy that ended up in 2nd place behind me only lifted 185 pounds.  Then last but not least... ok, probably least, I can shoulder raise what most people can curl.  All in all, I am real close to my goal in weight training.

    I think I might actually know what I am going to be doing after high school to!  The guy who lives behind me is apparently a a union representative and can get me into almost any apprenticeship I want. (instead of paying to go to school, they pay me :) ) But the program I am hoping to go through is going to be pretty awesome.  I'll start off making about 15-17 bucks and hour but at the end of 4 years I will end up making 129 BUCKS AN HOUR!! I could definitely get used to that!

Peace out and enjoy life!

Wow, I didn't realize how long its been.

Well anyway, so far my summer has been pretty darn fun and eventful. Just last weekend I had a wedding followed by an airsoft game.(like paintball, but doesn't hurt as much and a $hi!load cheaper) So far I have really gotten into airsoft, it's just a lot of fun shooting people and hearing them scream ouch and "I'm hit I'm Hit!" But other then weddings (I have gone to three of them so far) and the occasional air soft game, I have been working at the movie theater and going to the movies because I get in free.

Ps, Hellboy II was great!! Can't wait to see batman. (never thought I'd say that again)

Ok so apparently I have become accident prone. It all started when we came into the new year of 2008. First i was sent to the hospital because I was hit in the head with a crowbar. After that... as much as I really don't want to say it, I can't stop running into to things. I have actually walked into walls and not realize it until either my parents point it out or the wall actually knocks me down or something. I am beginning to think that that crowbar may have messed me up a little more then I thought.

  Now more recently I smashed my hand with a sledgehammer (it was a full swing by the way) Hmmmm... lets see, did I forget anything? Oh yeah apparently my joints can't keep up with my weight training anymore because while I was benching 245Lbs on tuesday, I kind of dislocated my left shoulder and damn near ended up with the bar on my neck. Then just 20 minutes after that I dislocated it again put a 100Lbs bar back on the rack. The best thing about all this is now my body aches beyond anything imaginable and my dad is to cheap to send me to a doctor even though I can hardly get out of bed anymore.

But if anything I have good news as well... and no, I actually lost a shit load of money by paying for my car insurance. But seriously, I finally got my four wheeler put back together and running real well. I put new jets in the carb just a little while ago and tuned it up real nice like and now when you slam that throttle you pop a wheelie no matter how far forward you lean. I also put on a couple a of big ass flood lights. Now I can turn night to light. Wooo hoooo..... ouch, I dislocated my shoulder again...
