So yeah, this is probably the tenth entry in this journal with that name. It's kinda sad, yeah, but oh well. I'm not good with titles.

School's alright, I suppose. Drinking's a lot better. On the weekends, I don't really remember much, which is good. I'm not drunk right now because I'm on duty for another two and a half hours. I could be sleeping, which probably wouldn't be such a bad idea, but I just got done playing cards with my suitemates. It was kinda fun, because I didn't suck today as much as I usually do.

Last night (As in Saturday night), there was a little incident where there was a lotta alcohol, a little puke, and much, much stupidity. I'll update more later for that story, for now you just get to hear me rant about my life.

Which isn't so bad right now. Things are great with Carrie, whom I love very much, but I really wish she wasn't so damned far away. I'd fuck her so hard right now.... But that's not going to change for a little while so I'll have to get over that. In the meantime, I'll just have to wait and be patient.

Tropical Storm Ernesto paid us a visit last Thursday, and I came to the realization that I hadn't been on this base sober at nighttime since then, and only then because I had to be. I'm not an alcoholic; I don't let myself get so inebriated that I can't control my actions, because blackouts scare me. I like my alcohol. <3 Booze.

<3 Boobs too.

But anyway, I'm gonna wrap this up now. Enjoy your evenings and I'm sorry for all the brain cells you lost while you were reading this.

<3 y'all,
~~ Jas

An entry liek whoa

so yeah, I haven't updated in three months. how awesome is that?

I need a new layout soon; this one's getting old. Unfortunately, I don't have photoshop (or a computer) at the moment, so that's going to have to wait. I could theoretically do it without, but it's easier with Photoshop.

But alas, what am I up to? Wanna know what the navy is like? No? Fuck you, I'll tell you anyway.

You want a sixteen-hour work day? No life at all? Lack of mobility? Then the Navy may just be for you! That's right, folks, in the Navy, at least where I am, I go to school. Yeah, hard job, right? Well, in six months, they expect you to be a fully qualified electronics technician. Hard? Sorta. Another six months, and I need to have an understanding of the finer workings of a Nuclear Power Plant, and the theory and science behind it. But wait, there's more! Six more months, and I'll be able to put into practice everything I've learned in the previous year! That's the equivalent of all the technical knowledge and courses of a four-year bachelor's degree... in merely a year and a half! so, as you can probably imagine, they're making my brain bleed with knowledge as they pound it into my head. Once concept is taught one day, and the next day, I'm expected to have a full working understanding of that so I can move on to the next topic without any trouble.

Can I keep up? So far.
Will I be able to keep up? For a while.
Is my brain hurting? Definitely
Do I have time to go out and hang with my friends? On the weekends.
Do I have time (or permission) to go visit my girlfriend? not really
Do I miss her? Definitely.

These next six years will be probably some of the hardest in my life.

now that that's out of the way, let's go onto other matters.

For instance, somehow, my bank account will not grow past 1k. It's kinda pissing me off, but in four months, I'll be making Petty Officer, with a sizeable increase in paygrade. Is it worth the job I'll be doing? Probably not, but it's better than Seaman pay.

Ah, well. I'll stop bitching now.

Jas out.

Pure Nerd
73 % Nerd, 39% Geek, 30% Dork

For The Record:

A Nerd is someone who is passionate about learning/being smart/academia.
A Geek is someone who is passionate about some particular area or subject, often an obscure or difficult one.
A Dork is someone who has difficulty with common social expectations/interactions.
You scored better than half in Nerd, earning you the title of: Pure Nerd.

The times, they are a-changing. It used to be that being exceptionally smart led to being unpopular, which would ultimately lead to picking up all of the traits and tendences associated with the "dork." No-longer. Being smart isn't as socially crippling as it once was, and even more so as you get older: eventually being a Pure Nerd will likely be replaced with the following label: Purely Successful.

Congratulations!

Ho-hum. How was my weekend?

Ever hear of Odyssey of the Mind? If no, it's an academic contest that's widely used throughout the country. I judged for the regional contest this weekend. My cousin went to state, so come April, I'm going to be going to Houston to judge that, I think. :) Whee. Great fun. Mingled, flirted with some of the other judges. Some of 'em were cute, too. O_O. >_>

Anyway.

Yeah.
Just figured I'd post that for those of you who cared.

Random quiz, and a short entry.

Dating Strengths	Dating Weaknesses
1. Intelligence - 71.4% 2. Open-Mindedness - 63.6% 3. Flirtiness - 62.5% 4. Varied Interests - 57.1% 5. Adventurousness - 50%	1. Pessimism - 83.3% 2. Appearance - 66.7% 3. Lack of Essentials - 58.3% 4. Insecurity - 53.8% 5. Humorlessness - 50%

Dating Strengths Explained
Intelligence - Your sharp intellect is a valuable asset. Use your intelligence wisely; avoid condescension. Quiet, confident intelligence is very attractive. Open-Mindedness - You are open to trying new things and entertaining new ideas, and this widens your pool of available girls. Flirtiness - Flirting is a good way to break the ice, and you are a pro at it. Being flirtatious will open up many dating opportunities. Varied Interests - You don't limit yourself, and that's a dating asset. Your varied interests make you available and interesting to a wider range of girls. Adventurousness - You are willing to try new things and be spontaneous. You want to get out there and really live, and you will attract people with a similar love of life.
Dating Weaknesses Explained
Pessimism - Too much cynicism can be a turn-off. Try to see the brighter side of things and people will be attracted to your positive outlook. Appearance - Devoting a greater effort at making good first impressions is a must. Try to be fit and develop a style if you want to catch a girl's attention. Lack of Essentials - Dating is difficult for you because you lack certain key things, which may include private space, a car, money, or a nice wardrobe. Work toward obtaining these essentials! Insecurity - Your insecurity makes you doubt yourself, but you must learn to love and trust yourself if you want to succeed in dating. Humorlessness - You need to learn how to take a joke, or better yet how to tell a good one. A well-developed sense of humor is high on the list of desired traits for daters.

Oh yeah. My parents came by today. I think they were impressed with all the things I've done around my aunt's house. I was sorta proud. And I think I have a job. Yay.

Hrrrrrrm.

Not a long entry for tonight.

I'm going to trim my friends list. If you want to be on it, post here. No fancy banner or anything, either; if you don't read it normally, I don't think you should be in it.

My day was alright. Slept for far too long though. v_v I need to stop doing that. It's pissing off my aunt.

I'm surprisingly tired though. Hrm.

Perhaps I should go offline for a few months. It might help a lotta things out. Decisions, decisions.

Ho-hum.

On the relationship front, it's getting better, distancing myself from everyone to solve the problem. :/ Rawr. Loneliness is a small price to pay for not scaring off the right girl when she comes my way.

I'm out for tonight.

Edit:

After you die...

After death, you will exist in heaven. Everything and everyone you love will constantly surround you for all of eternity. You lucky scoundrel.

I'm going to leave Stacey alone. Not as in no longer talking to her. But I mean... I'm going to back off. Leave her alone. Y'know... just... stop trying to get with her. It'd be great to get with her, but like I said, that's not going to happen soon. Maybe again later, when she's more equipped for a long-distance relationship, but for now, I'm going to stop trying. It just ends up getting both of us emo when that heppens.

Haha.

Likewise with Holly. I still want to be friends with both of them, but I'm going to just... back away. I hope she has a good life with WordsOfIvory.

As for Jess.... I don't think I'll be getting with her. :( She... she's in boot camp right now. I asked her out before she went in. She said no. Obviously. But what got me is that she told me someone else proposed to her before me, and she said no to them too. She indicated she'd have accepted them over me, if she hadn't been going into the military. *Sighs* She's a great girl though.

And now, Jenny... I like her a lot. I'd seriously try to pursue something with her, but she just won't let me get to know her. She says it's because she's shy,a nd that is true, to a degree, but if she wants something to happen, she's going to need to let me get close. :/

Ah, well.

Shows what a little sleep can do to your thought processes.

Peace out.

... That's depressing.

And now for a real entry. >>;

It's been a while since I posted a real entry in my LiveJournal. Thus, I do believe it's time for another. Ho-hum.

On the home-front: Jas is still homeless. He is jobless. He is going to stop talking about himself in the third person.

Anyway, I'm going to join the Navy. I'm currently shedding weight to squeeze through the door. I'm currently about 215, and I need to get to about 200. I'm getting there; I've dropped ten pounds already. w00t for diets.

They really kinda suck, though, because you can't have chocolate or anything with sugar in it, and I have to eat less than 1000 calories a day. Poo.

Still single. Looks like it's going to be that way for a while. Oh, well. I'll get over it.

I'm dreadfully hungry right now. Dinner's not ready yet though. I only eat one meal a day now.

What else is going on...?

Ah, yes, my cousin had her Quincenera on Saturday. It's like a sweet sixteen party, but you're fifteen when you do it. I helped set up and such, and I got my good shirt dirty. >( Oh well, I love my cousin so it was worth it. ^_^; I danced with her once, and neither one of us knew what we were doing, so we looked kinda stupid. ^^;

Ho-hum. My brother is graduating from Marine Corps Basic Training this Friday. It's in Miramar, in San Diego. My parents are going to see it. I'm happy for him. He gets ten days of leave afterward, in which time I'm going to get to hang out with him. Don't expect me online so much when he's here.

Not much else I can think of to say.

--Jas.

Alas, it has been some time.

2005-10-22T01:54:03Z

I'm looking at how far back my last REAL entry was. I'm so bad at keeping this damned thing current XD Anywho...

At the moment, I'm not doing much. AL is in a bit of a slump and I'm almost out of webcomics to read. Just waiting on Megatokyo to update, plus I've gotta catch up on some back-issues of 8-bit theatre. Yar.

I keep waiting for Sarah to get online, but I haven't seen her on all day. Her journal remains unupdated, which indicates she hasn't been on all day. I wonder what's wrong. I wanna talk to her.

I had an interesting conversation with Mary today XD AMNESIA!

Not much else. Dieting. Nyah. Crappy. I'm trying to slim down, though, for reasons undisclosed. I just hope it doesn't take too long to lose it.

I haven't talked to Nami on the phone in a while. She's called a couple times and I've missed it, but I've always realized at obscene hours when it's not right to call.

Oh! My friend Keri from New Orleans! I finally got a hold of her! It's so awesome. :3 We only talked for a few minutes the other day but that's all gravy. I missed her so much. Carla gave her my number for me so that she'd be able to get in touch. <3 Keri. <3 Carla.

And Corrine. ^^; I haven't talked to her in a while. Woo! She's the only one really online now though.

I'm inspired to write, for some reason. I don't have anywhere to write, though, as I don't wanna crowd my great-aunt's computer with random crap. The crappy response times in the RPs I'm in are not really doing it for me, either.

Meh. I think that's all for now.

Jas out.

Just a silly quiz.

2005-10-14T17:13:43Z

Yar, ph34r m3h!

Another of Jas' kooky escapades

2005-10-12T00:31:50Z

It figures... every time I go to do important stuff, it rains. And rains. And doesn't stop until I'm done. Now, don't get me wrong; I love the rain. I just don't really like to be in it all day long. Especially when it's a bit on the cool side. Anyway, that aside, I get the runaround in a confusing and unfamiliar city, albiet, I lived here for six years. But that was between the ages of 7 and 13. I've been gone for 7 years, and even when I was younger, I only knew a little area.

Anyway...

So the day starts out fine. On-schedule, even. But that's before I'm thrown for a loop. For shits and giggles, I'm going to do it in itenerary format.

8:00	Wake up and go smoke my morning cigarette and drink my morning coke	Feeding two addictions at once... damn I'm good.
8:30	Take a shower. Wash hair. All the naked goodness.
10:00	Leave the house. My great-aunt dropped me off at the first location I needed to visit so that I wouldn't have to take the bus.	It didn't really help though. I ended up taking more of the San Antonio bus system than I ever cared to.
10:30	Arrive at my first stop: H-E-B on O'Connor. Get my first application. It is at this point that my plans fly out the window. It turns out that all applications needed to be turned into one location. At first I thought this would be a blessing, but I was wrong. The place I needed to drop the application off at was clear across town.	On a side note, since I didn't know where the place was, I called back to Mom's cell, to try to get some information on how to proceed. I started off by explaining the situation, and she starts going off on me like, 'Oh, no, you're not going to use that as an excuse not to go job-hunting today.' Now, I had not said that, hadn't even thought it, and I was angry so I hung up before I got her to go online for me. Just as well, I figured it out for myself.
11:00	I'm on the bus going to Fredericksburg Rd, where I need to go. The first bus I had to take was the 641: Nacogdoches. So, I ride that to the end of the line. When I get off, a man tells me he'd overheard me talking to the bus driver trying to figure out where to go, and he tells me he's going that way anyway. So he offers to help me get there. In return I give him a cigarette. Name was Gilbert, but he wanted to be called, "Gibi" (pronounced He-be).	I really appreciated his help. I'd have gotten lost sooner if he hadn't been there to help me along.
*******
So I rode the Nacogdoches to the Perrin Beitel to the Loop. All that goes more-or-less smoothly. However...
12:00	I got off at Crossroads Park-n-Ride. Now, due to a grievous miscalculation on my part, I figured I'd just walk down Fredericksburg Rd to where I needed to get to. It looked a lot closer on the map than I thought. So I walked maybe two miles in the rain before I decided this was bullshit. My shoes were soaked through and my socks were wet. My feet were pruned. I was hungry. I was wet. Another mistake I'd made: I wrote something on the inside of my arm. Now, the water soaked my long-sleeved white shirt and picked up the ink off my arm. Now, I have an ink stain on my new good cotton shirt. Bitch bitch whine whine.	Damn, I'm stupid. When I looked at the map when I got out of the rain, I realized that it had to have been 4-5 miles from the last stop. Teach me to be frugal.
1:15	I stop into McD's to eat. I'm really hungry so I can actually stomach their food. Teach me not to eat breakfast. Get change for bus fare, reassess my situation, and proceed to go to on with it.
1:45	Get to my destination. Turn in my application. And what do I get? "If we want, we'll call in 7-10 days." And then, a swift kick to the butt.	That pissed me off more than anything. I go all the way out there, make that damned hike, get wet to the core, and I just got passed off as nothing. It really fucking discouraged me, too.
*******
And then I go home. It's fairly smooth sailing from there. However, I didn't get home 'till 4:30 just because the busses in this city suck. If New Orleans got anything right, it was how to get a large number of impoverished citizens from point A to point B in a timely manner. San Antonio doesn't quite have the kinks worked out, though. However, it is loads cheaper. Fare in NO was 1.25(1.10 Jeff) and .25(.50 Jeff) for a transfer. In SA, it's .80, with .15 transfers. Nice.</div>

I guess that's the end of my day so far. I've just been chillaxing since.

Peace.

Jas cut his hair! :O No camera, so no pics, but it's short now. Like, four inches shorter. >>; Soon as I can, I'll get pictures for all of ya'll.

Anyway, here's where I stand now:

I am moving to San Antonio. I'm looking for jobs today, got a lot of leads to go on. Got a couple good leads on apartments. Now, ideally, I will get a job and apartment on the same side of town; San Antonio's a very big city.

My parents are moving back to New Orleans now. My mom's going to wait on my sister's baby, then she's going. My dad's already there. If, by her appointment next Tuesday, she has not gone into labor, they are going to induce. Therefore, I have about a week to get situated before my parents go back and I get situated. If I'm not at least on-track by the time my mom goes, she's yanking me with her so I don't mooch off my grandparents.

Hrmmmmm..... yeah, I think that's about it. ^^;

Damn you, Koontz

2005-09-23T19:38:08Z

Dammit, working on another Koontz book that has done anything but disappoint me. I must say, his writing has much improved over the years, and his stories captivate me thoroughly. Another of his later works, Life Expectancy, the harrowing tale of a simple baker fatefully at odds with a deranged clown, is another of those page-turners that I can't put down. I fear I'm rapidly becoming a Dean Koontz fan.

Velocity

I'm not much of a Dean Koontz fan. I much rather the style and flow of Stephen King, and his lust and portrayal of dark fantasy.

That being said...

Velocity, a book by the aforementioned Koontz, is a stellar piece of contemporary fiction. His portrayal of the simple bartender, Billy Wiles, pressed into a life-or-death situation, and the way that Billy reacts to darker and darker events, his calculations and conclusions, simply stunned me. The book left me with little choice than to turn the page and continue the tale. I finished the book in two short days, this past night keeping me up until this late, lonely hour. I simply could not wait to express my genuine enjoyment of the novel, and so here I am, the first thing I did since I closed the back cover of the book. So as to give you a feeling for what it is, I shall include the blurb printed on the flap of the book jacket.

VELOCITY
Billy Whiles is an easygoing, hardworking guy who leads a quiet, ordinary life. But that is about to change. One evening, after his usual eight-hour bartending shift, he finds a typewritten note under the windshield wiper of his care.

If you don't take this not to the police and get them involved, I will kill a lovely blond schoolteacher somewhere in Napa County.
If you do take this to the police, I will instead kill an elderly woman active in charity work.
You have six hours to decide.
The choice is yours.

It seems like a sick joke, and Billy's friend on the police force, Lanny Olsen, thinks so too. His advice to Billy is to go home and forget about it. Besides, what could they do even if they took the note seriously? No crime has actually been committed.

But less than twenty-four hours later, a young blond schoolteacher is found murdered, and it's Billy's fault: he didn't convince the police to get involved. Now he's got another note, another deadline, another ultimatum, and two new lives hanging in the balance.

Suddenly Billy's average, seemingly innocuous life takes on the dimensions and speed of an acceerating nightmare. Because the notes are coming faster, the deadlines growing tighter, and the killer becoming bolder and crueler with every communication--until Billy is isolated with the terrifying knowledge that he alone has the power of life and death over a psychopath's innocent victims. Until the stuggle between good and evil is intensely personal. Until the most chilling words of all are: The choice is yours.

Go and read the book, damn you! >_<

*Plots to somehow work Billy's character into some RP or other*

Quiz and a pseudo-entry.

Today has been an interesting day; I got up at noon, had lunch, piddled on the computer a bit, read a bit, didn't talk to Amber on the phone for very long, as has become customary, and talked to someone that left a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Details are unnecessary and will be unsupplied. I'm tired. G'night.

Lemons and Lemonade.

Well, a lot of things have been happening recently... I'll try to remember them all and recount them as such...:

1) I'm most certainly falling for her again, and I don't know what to do. Should I just stop talking to her and let it blow over? Should I keep it up and try to win her back? Or should I go the friend route, and live with my feelings bottled inside? It makes me sad, sometimes, though, and I just want to hurt something too. I don't wanna feel this way. Piss or get off the pot, my mom says. I have to do something.

2) I'm seriously considering moving to Colorado. Armisael, aka Alan, seems to genuinely want me to come. However, at the same time, someone wants me to move to Georgia. :/ I'm afraid I don't know what to do here. I want to go both places >_< Of the two, though.... Gah! ;_; Me and all my friends need to move and found a new city, and then we'd all be happy :)

3) I've started running again. I've been getting rather lazy lately, and have started packing on the weight. It's gotten so bad, my shins are starting to get fat. Burn the fat, burn it to hell! Only problem is the blazing ache of my calves. Damned hills X_x

4) I need a job. I'm poor. I need to start banking up some money. I need to start my life over again, whether it's in Texas, Colorado, Georgia, or, God forbid, Louisiana again. And that takes a big-assed down payment. Ladidadidadi...

These are some of life's lemons, time to try and make lemonade....

Just a couple quizzes.

Yar. Blue is the new black ^_~

Anyway, new info: I applied for and got FEMA money. I got the check on monday, and I deposited it into a local account yesterday. I've got a little start-up money now; all I need now is to get a job so I can know what kind of apartment I can afford. Once that's done, I can settle into a new life. However, I've tried getting a job in Seguin, but the job market there, frankly, doesn't exist. So, I think I'm going to have to go to San Antonio, or worse yet, Austin, to find a job.

However, once I get on my feet and get a little vacation saved up, there are certain people in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that I plan on visiting. ^_^ You know who you are. Anyway, I also need to go to Georgia at some point, and California, as well. If I hadn't been out of it for so long I might have tried to make it to AWA, but I have no hope of doing that now. :( Oh well. Such is life.

I think I'm starting to fall for someone again, and it's not a good idea. Long-distance relationships don't work. :/ She wouldn't take me back anyhow.

Lala, I think that's all for this one.

Peace and love, folks, Peace and love. ^_^

Yes, folks, here's my first real post since last August. O.O

Anyway, here's my current situation:

Hurricane Katrina, bugger that she is, has wiped out New Orleans, LA, where I just so happened to reside. Yeah, I managed to get out, but I only took with me what I can carry. The rest of my stuff is still in Louisiana, and I have no clue when I'll be allowed to go back and get it.

I fled from Katrina to south-central Texas, near San Antonio, and am currently staying with my grandmother and grandfather. I'm jobless, moneyless, and homeless. I'm working about getting a job, but no one seems to want to hire me. Until I get a job, though, I'll still be moneyless and homeless. I don't wanna bum off my grandparents for too long.

I'm 20 now, I'm not sure how many of you knew that, but I turned 20 a few months ago. Yeah. Stoked. Less than a year before I can flaunt my drinking publicly ^_~ Hrm...

Oh yes, with the exception of one, I am certain that all of my friends got out alright, and the ones that stayed seem to be alright. However, one person, Damion, my former boss, I haven't managed to hear from. I fear the worst.

Yep, single again. And looking. Unfortunately, noone's looking back. :P There really isn't much of a nightlife in a place like Seguin, TX, so it's kinda hard to go out and meet them. Meh. Oh well.

Ahh, it's good to be back.

I'm gone for now. Peace.

it's jas!

Yar, I'm back! It turns out I can make posts from my cell phone. n.n I'm just checking right now to check how it works. more later.
