Nickelback Concert
I just got home from the Nickelback concert and the show was unbelievable. The opening act was Trapt, then it was Cevelle, and Nickelback last. They sounded so good. The pyrotechnics were awesome too. It started with a big bang from the top of the stage, then they had flame strips on top of the speakers that went off a few times, they had 8 spots where the flames were coming right out of the floor of the stage, a shower of sparks type thing on the ceiling and a few other things set up all around the stage. When that concert ended, it was like watching the grand finally on the 4th of July, except it was a lot hotter, brighter, and louder. I was sitting 25 feet from the stage. I was so close. Not a single empty seat in the entire place either. I really didn't want it to end. In all, I'd say it was an awesome show and it really raised the bar, in my book, for what a good concert should be. I will probably never see another one as good as this one in my entire life. Current Mood:  tired | | Saturday, March 25th, 2006 | | 10:02 pm |
Big news
Ok everyone, I have big news. I mean really big news. This news is so big that it makes CNN seem like the morning announcements at Mt Hope. Are you ready? Brace yourself... I GOT A KITTEN!!!!! I won;t lie, I never liked cats, but she is ssssooooooooooooooooooooo cute. Her name is Teri and she's only 5 inches tall. I tried to put the picture on livejournal, but it won't let me.

I GOT TICKETS!!!!!
I can't believe it, I got Nickelback tickets. LOWER LEVEL!!!!! I just went on ebay and bought four tickets to the sold out show. I wanted theese tickets so badly. They also cost me more than all my Christmas gifts combined this year, but I don't care. On March 29, I'm going to be right there watching Nickelback live at Mohegan Sun. Best part is that now I have two extra tickets. If anyone out there wants them, I'm selling two of them, but it's probably going to be too expensive.

Nickelback Tickets
This sucks. Anyone who knows me knows that my favorite band of all time is Nickelback. I have all the cds and have listened to them more times than I can remember. I actually walked from school to the store to pick up their new cd the day it came out in the rain. Tickets went on sale for their upcoming concert at Mohegan Sun yesterday and in less than 12 hours, they're SOLD OUT!!! This sucks, now I have to find another way into that concert. If anyone out there has any tickets they're willing to sell, I'll take them. Current Mood:  pissed off | | Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 | | 10:55 pm |
I'm Updating
wow, haven't updated in a wile. So, here goes: Let me start by saying I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!!!!! I love being home. So much more to do and I have more friends here. Next year, I'm deffinitely commuting. This whole dorm thing really isn't all it's cracked up to be. I don't mind the drive to school either. It's actually kind of fun. Speaking of drive, this is going to be fun, I need a new tire for my car. I think one of my parents hit a curb (although I don't want to accuse them) and took a piece out of the side of the tire. This totally sucks, I have no money and those are about $120 each. That's what I get for choosing the good tires, I guess. I've been working a lot lately... and I LOVE IT!!! Not many people realize how much fun construction really is. Sure, it's hard work and you're always freezing cold, and your hands become totally cracked and messed up, but it's awesome! How many people out there get to go to work wearing whatever they want, get to mess around all day, listen to blaring heavy metal music, play with water guns during winter and get a good workout all at the same time? I usually don't even want to come home at the end of the day anymore. Today I went out to get some coffee during work and one of the guys asked me to stop off and pick up some cigaretts for him. It felt so weird. He asked for my id and everything. I felt like some kind of really guilty criminal. I thnk smoking is the worst habbit and it drives me crazy being the only one in that truck who doesn't smoke, especially when it's raining out and they're all smoking with the windows rolled up. My mom's going away to Texas this weekend on a business trip and my sisters are going away. I have the house to myself. Know what that means? HOUSE PARTY!!!!! Yeah right, they'd kill me when they got back. I'll have to try to do something, though. Ok, I think that's enough updating. I want everyone to comment on this. Even if you just put something totally random down, it's still cool to get comments. Current Mood: tired | | Sunday, January 1st, 2006 | | 12:50 am |
Happy New Year's!!! Do you know what that means? That's right another chance for people to make those New Year's resolutions that usually end in failure within the first two weeks. In keeping with that tradition of making outlandish resolutions, I've decided that my New Year's resolution is going to be to win Power Ball (rather impossible considering I've never tried). I only see one problem, once I win I don't know if I want to get the Saleen S7: ![]() or the Maserati MC12: ![]() probably not going to happen, but just like everyone else out there, I will keep wishing, then give up after about a week.

ok, here's the deal, Rob has given me permission to wake him up by any means necessary, so I need ideas. Anyone with an idea, please e-mail it to me. Send it to arrudadam@aol.com if you just comment on this, Rob will see it and it won't be as affective or funny. Any and all suggestions are welcome. Current Mood:  amused | | 8:46 pm |
End of Volleyball
And so ends the volleyball season. We made it to the final 4 and got knocked out one game away from the championship. Final score 30-28. I won't lie an say I'm not disapointed, but I will say, I could not be prouder of this team. Who could have ever thought a group of freshmen could stand up and compete against the best URI had to offer? Out of 15 teams, we were in the top four. And on the plus side, as soon as we come back from Christmas break, the team's getting back together and we're doing is again in spring.

I'm updating!!!!!
Oh My God, I'm updating. I totally forgot what this feels like. Well, let's see, college has been a little too much fun lately. I think I'm finally getting the hang of this studying thing. It's kind of a new concept for me. I pulled an all nighter last Thursday an got all my work done for the week, so it was a really laid back and easy week. I'm going home for the weekend and I think I'm going to catch the footbll game. it should be kind of interesting. Now, I know everyone out there in college has a professor that they think i really awesome and cool. Let me tell you about my new idol, Dr Briden. This guy is my Calculus professor. This man is by far the most briliant and quirky teacher I have ever met. For starters he has the worst comb over on th planet and is really spacey. The other day we were in class and he went off on a 5 minute tangent about how the clock in the room is 5 minutes off. So the other day I'm walking around the basement of the union and here he comes casually strolling down with a confused look on his face. I looked and said good morning Dr Briden and said "I think you might be in the wrong building. I'm on my way to your class right now and it's the next builing over." So Shawn and I walked to class with him and he seemed really confused about the whole ordeal. But wait, it gets better. Today, Shawn, Alex, and I were sitting around in the union again before class, and here comes Dr Briden again. So we called him over and he sat down and we discussed football for 10 minutes before going to class. Aparently he is cheering for the Cowboys this year. There is no way to really put his personality into words, you just have to sit through his class once and you'll see what I mean. This guy is truely my hero. In fact, I found a picture of him online, check it out: http://www.math.uri.edu/People/visitors/ He's the guy on the top left. Current Mood: tired | | Tuesday, November 8th, 2005 | | 1:39 am |

Go Dallas!
another win and another step closer for Dallas. They are now 4-2, putting them at the top of the NFC East. This is the happiest day, as far as sports go, that I've had in a wile. Current Mood: happy | | Saturday, October 15th, 2005 | | 12:55 am |
keeping Busy

I'm an ant and God's a little kid with a magnifying glass on a sunny day!
I tried updating twice today and both times I lost connection, so here goes shot number three: yay, I'm home. I don't know whether that was a happy or sarcastic yay. I was looking forward to the homecoming football game tonight, getting to see all my friend again, and some nice Bristol weather. Instead, I come home to a swamp, a canceled game, and a bunch of people who seem so upset because of this damn weather. The irony of it all is that had it not been for this rain, this would have been an awesome week. All my school work and my exams are done. That means I can slack off all weekend and not worry about school. Fate, it seems, would not grant me this satisfaction. Now I have to find a way to entertain myself until Sunday night, when I get to go back "home." It's amazing how incredibly attached I have already become to that place. All my stuff is there, that's where I sleep 5 nights out of the work, and that's the only place I see 5 days out of the week. Not exactly the most loving places to call home, if you ask me, but for me, that is what it's become, whether I want it to or not. I'm starting to miss those late summer nights, lying outside under the stars once everyone else in my house is asleep. Taking those long walks down by the water where no one could ever find me. Riding around town aimlessly with nothing to do. I'm starting to miss those familiar faces looking at me every morning when I walked into that school. I miss walking down those halls and getting a good morning from every teacher I passed. Now, all I get is a, "what's your name, again?" I don't miss that school or that damn administration that went and screwed everything up. What I miss most is the people. All those people who I may never see again.

Whatever Entry
Let's see, not much has happened since my last update, but I'm just really bored. I got my tickets today for the My Chemical Romance concert next Tuesday. Staton and I are going. should be a lot of fun. I went home this weekend, but I decided not to tell anyoneso I could have a quiet weekend. Sunday night I get a call from Rob and he's at the dorm and he didn't know where I was. Kinda funny, actually. All in all, not too bad. I even found the time to get my whol Calculus project done on the computer. This school is great and Rob thinks I'm a looser just cuz I went out and got the sweat-shirt. I'm just trying to conform to the majority here. There's nothing wrong with that, right? I'm a little sick right now and I think I caught it from my mom when I went home this weekend. Oh well, I should be fine. Time to get ready for work. Current Mood:  sick | | Sunday, October 9th, 2005 | | 8:43 pm |
Go Cowboys!
And so the Cowboys kick ass again. This has made my weekend all worth wile. 33-10 over the Eagles. I'm telling you guys, th Cowboys are going to get 6th Super Bowl title this year. I met two Patriots cheerleaders the other day. It was kinda cool. i felt kinda bad though, I didn't want to tell them I was a Cowboys fan. Plus, they looked like they could kick my ass, Other than that, being stuck at college for Columbus day wekend isn't too bad, it's actually kinda fun. The place is just about empty and the remaining people have all banded together and 'm having a blast. URI lost the game yesterday. that's three losses in a row. Damn, this feels like High School again. Current Mood: happy | | Thursday, October 6th, 2005 | | 4:03 pm |
I've been killed
Day three of my mission: My mission ended in tragic failure today. I was finally apprehended and quickly executed in an unceremonious fashion. My hunter was my neighbor and she discovered my identity due to the careless recklessness of my suit-mate. He introduced her to me only a few days ago, and had it not been for this meeting, I might still be alive. I guess I kind of deserved it though. I walked past her today and started laughing when I noticed she had a green post-it note stuck to her for-head. At that moment she drew her weapon (a spoon) from no where and thrusted it into my stomach. I winced in pain and reluctantly conceited to the fact that I had been defeated.

Someone is trying to kill me!
So here it is, there is someone in this building right now who knows my name and room number and he's looking for me. At the same time, I have a target of my own. I think the scarist part of this whole ordeal is the fact that I have no dea who this person s who is after me. Earlier today, I was sitting at breakfast and someone walked by me with something white in their hand. I nearly had a heart attack thinking it was the person after me. I promised myslef I would remember this is just a game and not let it get to my head, but it's getting too intense. I even went to meet my target today. I introduced myself an started talking a little about soccer, but I thnk she expected something. I couln't get in close enough to make the kill. I thought I was going to feel bad killing her, but she seems really into this game. Now, I think I might actually enjoy killing her. What's more, I fund out who is hunting Erica Pacheco and I don't know whether to warn her or betray her. It is one of my friends who s hunting her and it is a game, so I might jus be better off getting rid of her. I already offered to introuce him to Erica. This is harder than I thought it would be. I got my target's screen name and I'v been using it to tell when she is in her room or not. She's in class right now, so I think I'm going to wait for her at the door and go late to Physics. I mean, how hard can it really be to take out one girl when you already know her name, room number, and you have a picture of her. I am going to find out.

Oh My God, I just ordered a pizza
I just ordered a pizza pocket online and it will be at my room in 45 minutes. I think this is the coolest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm like feeking out about it and Rob thinks I'm crazy. Hell, I probably am. Enough said. I gotta go stare at my door until it gets here. The internet is so awesome. Current Mood:  high | | 11:43 am |
College is going great. Love all my classes. I had some computer trouble on Thursday. My computer blanked out and I had to go get a new one yesterday. Other than that, no complaints. I've got the coolest room mate ever. I've been kinda addicted to this game called Ace Combat V recently. It is the coolest game ever. I came home for the weekend and I got to go see the football game on Friday. It was a well played game and Mt Hope won, making it all worth wile. It was fun screaming obscenities at the opposing team's fans and getting to see all my old friends again. I even played two songs with the band(I'm that much of a looser). Now I've got to go back to school tonight. I'm kinda looking forward to it. It's almost like a vacation: You get there and after a week you're ready to come home, but once you get home, you're ready to go back again. Current Mood: calm |
