Dammit

Because Reuben attends class and works full time I can never catch him at home. I get back after a long day wanting to talk to him and he's still working. I just want things to go back to the way they were.

Nightmares Part 3 and a couple of other things

Okay, don't go looking for parts one and two, there's no way I could have known if I would be doing this in installments.

Guess who's having recurring nightmares again. Picture a world where all the air has been replaced by a clear jell-o. It can be torn and broken apart like jell-o can, in the same texture, but it doesn't jiggle and it's not actually the air. You can still breathe and move normally and all that jazz. Now imagine you're in the middle of some desert- nothing in sight but vast amounts of sand. Suddenly you see this dark outline of a figure walking toward you. He's very lanky and has a sort of a sway when he walks, ripping through the jell-o leaving this cracky texture behind him. Behind him, something rises out of the sand. It's sort of spherical, and looks like it may have rings around it, as if it was made of some sort of impossible architecture. The "rings" begin to spin, ripping through the jell-o so much that it begins to pull everything else in. You can feel the jell-o around you stretch and rip and you're moved closer toward the figure. Suddenly, the sand moves out from below you and you fall into an epic, massive, dark pit. You don't know if you were just saved or swallowed.

That may seem kind of stupid but I've had this the past couple of nights and wouldn't be surprised. I don't know if this was part of the dream or just me, but I also always wake up with "Joy Division - Atmosphere" (just looked it up) stuck in my head. I've heard this song once maybe a year ago.


One more thing, I'd like to thank you guys in the urban exploration forum, you really helped out and I may go back there soon. I'm surprised at how many people actually seem to check my blog on a regular basis, so I would also like to thank my readers. I've also noticed that I have gotten a few views from some paranormal website and that has given me a (much needed) good chuckle. I'm just a dude going through a rough patch. There's nothing super weird about it, but I appreciate your concern.

White Days

You've Got To Be Fucking Kidding Me

Laugh it off? Yeah, I saw Reub's post. I don't mind getting personal on the blog but that is really taking it TOO far. It was bad enough that he kept filming anyway.

euphigonhgf

I come home to find this in my bathroom. Looks like Reuben ripped out most of the pages with writing on it and hid them from me. You know, a lot of shit has happened in my life lately but the last thing I need is the guy I live with to pull this shit on me. NOT TO MENTION THIS IS LIKE MY FIFTH TIME TRYING TO POST THIS DAMN BLOG.

Just let me sleep.

The Catastrophic Hymns From Yesterday

Friend of mine took me to a bar tonight to try and take my mind off of things. Alcohol is a depressant and I'm an idiot for taking him up on that offer.

FML

What did I fucking do? How do I always screw up everything?

Heart and Brain

Completely Forgot I Had This

Remember that little book Reuben and I found at the bridge? Well, until today, I didn't. I flipped through it earlier and it is FULL of names, dates, scribbles, etc. I'm taking a break from editing last night's events to post this, but maybe after I get all my school shit straightened out tomorrow I can scan these pages and see what you guys think. Back to the lab for now.

Nightmares

Still No Word

It's kind of hard to live your life when a good friend of yours may be in trouble. Went Geocaching with Travis and Reub last night to help take my mind off of things, but I feel a little guilty about it. I don't know. I figure it's probably the healthiest thing I can do.

Let's Get Serious

I was editing videos from yesterday last night for the daily challenges or whatever when I finally get an answer back-- from my friend's roommate. It took me a while to hunt down his number but he told me that my friend has not come back since the night I left. He thought that my friend came home with me because his car is still there. Well it's been another day and still no word from him so, needless to say, I'm beginning to worry. I don't really feel like finishing these videos right now.

I Wish He'd Answer His Phone

My friend - who wishes to remain nameless - will not give me a progress update on those tapes. I have been asking since the night I got home. So friend, if you are reading this, ANSWER YOUR PHONE. My curiosity is ever-burning.

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 19 (WARNING: May Contain Geocache Spoilers)

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 18

30 Day Video Challenge: Days 14-17

It was a fun trip.

Posting From Mobile; Quick Update

Having a great time on this mini-vacation. I'll be able to return and upload on Tuesday. As for the tapes, it pretty much seems impossible to restore them but he's still trying. I'm cool with it, though, I haven't seen this guy in about four years so it's nice to be able to hang with him again. Good to see he hasn't changed a lot. Party tonight!

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 13

Road Trip

Finals are tomorrow (Sam, I'm going to miss seeing you during the day) but afterward I'll be going to an old friend's place for a few days. He may be able to help me out with these tapes.

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 12

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 11

I know I took it literally, but I still think this question was kind of stupid.

30 Day Video Challenge: Days 8, 9, & 10

I'm really wanting to get a haircut but I'm also trying to grow it out.  What to do, what to do...

Post-Excavation Randomness (Catching up on Days 6 & 7)

Excavation

We returned the bridge to scavenge for cool things and ended up pretty satisfied.  Words cannot describe how nervous I am around Sam in this video.  I really wanted to record more of the stuff we found but I was just happy bringing her along.

Excuses, Excuses

I finished editing the videos for this weekend at about 10:30 last night.  I've been uploading them ever since and they're still not done, but hopefully they will be by later this afternoon.  I'm also still a little behind on the daily challenges because I didn't have the list with me when I left, but I'm going to try and knock them all out tonight.  It's finals week, so I'm afraid I'm going to be busy as hell.

Back to the Bridge

I've been itching to go back and it's on my way to where I'm headed (to a friend's house) so my friends and I are going to stop by and salvage some junk there.  I'll be back tomorrow where, hopefully, I can have time to upload the rest of my videos.

So I Missed Them Again...

Looks like I'm going to end up having to do four to five videos all at once.  This may be the busiest weekend I've had in a long, long time - and not just because of the video challenges.

New Background & Pending Videos

I found this picture out of a sea of backgrounds that were pretty meh.  It represents my love for exploration and uh.. it's red like me.

I wasn't able to complete the video "challenge" yesterday because I was too busy with other things.  Now on today, my birthday, I plan to knock out this 10-page paper and hope to put up two more videos by the end of the day.  Ain't life grand?

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: What's the earliest childhood memory you can think of?

Every time I watch myself on video I cringe.

I Found The Lyrics

Here's the actual music video:  http://youtu.be/an0VNmQrO0k

This is the song I must have been thinking about this morning.  Funny, I haven't heard this song in about six years.

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 4

What was the first thing on your mind this morning? [BESIDES "I have to pee"] Why?

The more I listen to these words, the more familiar they become.

30 Day Video Challenge: Day 3

Day 3:  Learn something new today.  Go into detail!

I found it quite difficult to conceal my good mood.
