Number 8

Well, Brokeback Mount opened at number 8 this weekend. Which is pretty good. I’m glad that it did so well.

Since I’ve been sick for like 5 days, I spent a lot of time planning invetstments for the next year. I’m really torn between what I should do with my money for next year. If all works out right, I’ll have about $20k to invest places. That is assuming I don’t buy a new car. But even if I do buy a new car, I’ve been thinking tha tmaybe I should still invest like $10k and use $10k for the down. That way I can build some credit since I’ve never had a car loan.

Anyways, I’m torn between what to invest in. I’d really like to get some physical real estate under my belt. But since I can’t afford a house here, that would mean buying a house somewhere else and renting it out, or buying land up and just holding it for a while. I’m not really sure I’m ready for the whole landlord shit. I know what my dad went through with that. It can be hellish. Unless you hire a management company, but then your profits take a hit from that. And if I’m only going to have one or two places, then it’s a big thing. Land would be good, but where, and what. I’d have to find land that would go up enough to compenstate for the interest rates and tax charges, etc. Land values nationwide are expected to climb 6% next year, which wouldn’t cover the interest or tax rates.

I did however find a nice 700 acre spot in western Montana at about $500 an acre, and if you know anything about me, you should know that I want to retire to a nice big ranch in Montana. Though, I’m guessing that it’s not the most pristine area. I just think it’d be fun to say that I own 700 acres! haha.

The other option is of course the stock market. But then to choose betwen actual stocks, and mutual/bond funds, etc. Blah, so much to do, and so little money to do it with!

Last night’s family guy and simpsons were very entertaining.

I have only 100 pages left to “The Confusion” Yay!

Tonight’s the Company party. Umm, Yep. I was thinking last night and on the whole 7th floor, I’m the ONLY single boy here now! MH just went to Pakistan and married his wife. So I’m the only single person left. 🙁 And I can only think of one or two people on the 15th that are single. Blah! Blake, why can’t you come?! Get your ass down here. lol

And that’s about it, adios!

Stay away from the mall!

OMG, so I made the mistake of being bored and wanting to go to the mall…

It fucking took 30 minutes just to get into the damn parking lot…. And then another 20 of driving around looking for a parking spot, before i just gave up and went home.

I really wanted to get new glasses today before going home for the holidays too. 🙁 Oh well.

I’ve decided that crown royal and hot chocolate is really yummy. 😀

I love fires. 😀

Adios!

Sick sick sick!

Well, for those who don’t know, I’ve been sick for the last couple days. Horrible annoying sick. Not really even sick, but just sick. Any idea of what I mean? My throat is killing me.. It feels like someone put a ballon with a bunch of needles sticking out of it and blew it up. It’s very painful to swallow anything. 🙁

And the worse part is that I think/pretty sure I gave it to blake too. 🙁 Just the thing I was trying to avoid was to get him sick. Everyone at work has been sick and I hadn’t got sick yet, and now here I am sick and he’s sick, and that just makes me sad. 🙁

And I wish I had someone to take care of me when I’m sick. I hate having to get up and get my own food and shit. Blah, so annoying!

So in other news i haven’t been to work the last two days. I’ve been sleeping a lot and waking up at 1am and not being able to sleep again. Blah.

Today I ventured out, I had to go see Brokeback Mount… OMG! Amazing movie! I cried, of course. Infact you could just hear everyone crying. Such a moving movie! Awwww. I want to go see it again!

You must all go see it when it comes to your city!!!

I was a little annoyed about how slowly it moved, but it was WELL worth it.

Monday is the company party at Club33.. I’m kinda nervous about that. Blah. I did get all my shirts dry cleaned though so I have a fresh supply to choose from.

Anyways, i’m out yall.

PS:

Go to sleep, may your sweet dreams come true

Just lay back in my arms for one more night

I’ve this crazy old notion that calls me sometimes

Saying this one’s the love of our lives.

Cause I know a love that will never grow old

And I know a love that will never grow old.

When you wake up the world may have changed

But trust in me, I’ll never falter or fail

Just the smile in your eyes, it can light up the night,

And your laughter’s like wind in my sails.

Cause I know a love that will never grow old

And I know a love that will never grow old.

Lean on me, let our hearts beat in time,

Feel strength from the hands that have held you so long.

Who cares where we go on this rutted old road

In a world that may say that we’re wrong.

Powerbook boo-boo

I dropped my powerbook yesterday. It was in it’s case and everything, and I didn’t think I had hurt it, but last night I was closing it down and realized that it’s all bent to hell on the front by the CD-drive. I’m very annoyed by this!

I’m also a bit depressed today. :'( But I had a great night.

Adios.

Edit:// Yay! They must like something about me here cause I just got some great news! Yay for me. 😀 Sadly I’m not allowed to talk about it till it’s official, so Shhhh. 😉

Blake’s Visit

Wow, so last night was great, and yet now I’m so depressed.

I’ve been so excited for Blake to come for the last week! I had it all planned out, have dinner about ready, have a nice fire going and candles lit. I had presents for him.

He told me he’d be there between 6 and 6:30, yet at 5:30 there was a knock on my door. So I go and answer it and there he is! I was so happy. 🙂

He came in and we talked for a while, then I cooked dinner and we ate. Then we watched “But I’m a Cheerleader”… Well, we didn’t really watch it too much. We spent most of it cuddling and kissing. It was so amazing to hold him and kiss him again! He’s so beautiful!

After the movie he complained about the couch being too small, so we moved into the bedroom and spent the rest of the night in there kissing and cuddling and talking. It was just so great to have someone I care about around again.

I really wish I could see him every weekend, or every day! Or something more then just the once a month we’ve been getting for the alst two months!

I also got him to tell me about this big secret he has… Which honestly, I was expecting more! He just said that he wished he could see me more. Him and Jimmy both made it up to be so much bigger.. I had a feeling he was holding back what it really was. lol.. But At least he did admit that he did miss me… I really miss him a lot.

He had to leave at 9:00 which was sad… I walked him out to his car and I was a little annoyed by the fact that he was so scared to even hug infront of anyone! I’ll change that! lol.

Anyways, we hugged one last time, and I wanted to give him a kiss but since he was so scared about hugging I didn’t think it was right… I also wanted to tell him how much I care about him, but I chickened out at the last minute.

And then I got back to my apartment and instantly remembered that I had presents for him and forgot to give them to him!

I already really miss him and am looking forward to the next time we can hang out… whenever that may be. 🙁

One last thing though is that I wish he’d be more open with me about how he’s feeling, what he’s doing and all that stuff…
