The Past Few Days

Well, needless to say the past few days have been interesting. For those of you who don’t know what happened, let me do a quick recap.

Thursday night Jamie left my place for her friend’s (Paul) 21 run. They get to the 1st bar, Finn McCool’s, on the Ave and no sooner then walking in the door there was an incident. Glasses had fallen off a table that Jamie was leaning on and she had cut her wrist open and was bleeding quite badly. I was not there when it happened, but from what I understand it was quite ugly.

I then received a phone call waking me and it was Jamie’s friend Cynthia telling me roughly the following in a phone call from Jamie’s phone:

C: Hey, Ryan. Jamie has had an accident and she’s bleeding.
R: What?! Where?
C: Finn McCools.
R: Oh, God. I’m on my way.

That is all I really remember of the phone call that night, the rest was a blur of me leaving my place in what I was sleeping in and heading to the ave. I seemed to hit every red light and time was moving so slow. I knew that things would be OK, but I just wanted to get there to see her and to make sure that everything was alright.

A Bike Ride for the Mind

Today was something different from the norm. Yeah, different. I know you think you can’t get much different than going to work and then going home and doing whatever you please, but I found a way. I managed to watch The Bourne Idendtity, which is a really good movie if you have not already seen it, and then after that I took a little bike ride to vent some steam.

Condo: Shop Till’ You Drop

For the past few days I have been shopping for furniture and other things that are needed to furnish the condo. The days have been long and the shopping requires a lot of decision making, which I hate. But, it is all over now and I am pleased with what we got accomplished.

We are hoping to have the condo fully furnished (stuff delivered and setup) between July 1st and July 10th. But, we’ll see how that comes along. I know that some of you are interested in seeing it, but you will have it wait while we clean it up a bit. You all will get your chance, in due time, to see what my new pad looks like.

However, until you have that chance, you can live vicariously though this blog and my truly verbose definitions on how it looks. /me *snickers* Anywho, I am excited because bought a new bass amplifier. Now I can play my basses again! Horray! (I have a Fender fretted Jazz bass and a Carvin fretless) So, if you are interested in playing along with me sometime, let me know. I am always looking for someone to play with. Also, this means we can begin on the much anticipated release of our CD called ‘Yaptinology’. But, more about that later ;)

Oh man, I am typing this post while laying in one of the Heavenly Beds at the Seattle Westin. So… Hard… To… Stay… Awake… zzz

Listening To: Dave Matthews Band – Everyday
Currently Feeling: Sleepy b/c of sweet bed

Nice Day

Man, was it nice out today or what? Seriously. This is why Spring quarter at UW is impossible. The sun comes out and you have no desire to go to class. But, nevertheless I made my rounds today. It was nice to be able to just hang outside and just enjoy the weather over some Caramel (Care – a – mel) Rumble with Jamie after class. But, in other news, I was hit by a car today on my way to the IMA with Kony for my intramural soccer game. Yeah, it was exciting. For more great stuff click on.

So Busy

This quarter has lived up to its’ pre-quarter hype. The work has been constant all quarter long and is not letting up. This has lead me to spend a lot more time studying this quarter than in previous quarters. Is this a bad thing? No, not really, but I just really did not expect this to happen this quarter. I know that I have said this in the past, but I am just still in shock at how much work I do during the week.

I could only be so lucky

Last night I had the fortunate pleasure to sit down with a friend of mine that I have not had the time to see enough in the past few months. We talked about everything from school to relationships and just about anything in between. But, when talking to him it got me to think about some things that are happening in my own life.

Ok, well, I really don’t like posting very personal things on here because, I just don’t like to spit them out on the internet. I guess there is a good reason for why I do this, but sometimes I just want to push myself and see what I will post without making an ass of myself on line. So, now I begin…
