One Week In...

We are one week into Lent. Seven days into my "no swearing" and unfortunately, I've already slipped up. Just once. First day. But it wasn't in a public setting, so I didn't feel as bad. I've managed to go the rest of the week free of it though, and I'm very proud of myself.

Break didn't get any better over the course of the week. It was pretty boring the whole way. Lots of time on the couch. I bought a Wii though. I'm a beast at bowling on it. And sword fighting!

Not much has happened since getting back to school. I went to my first counseling session...not too eventful...that's about it though. Everything's pretty slow in T Town right now.

I hate to say it, but I have a new favorite song. It's "Friday" by Rebecca Black. I know, I'm weird for liking it. I know it's not good, but it's catchy, and funny, so I like it. I can't believe all the negative backlash on it though. And most of it's not even on the song, it's on her. I've read so many video comments and tweets telling her to kill herself. I can't believe a person can actually sit there and say that to someone, especially a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL! It's just sick.

My interview for Cedar Point is just three days away now. Saturday, 11am. I really hope I get it. That'd be the perfect summer job for me, because I wouldn't have to be at home, bored out of my mind, and dealing with drama for three months. So many of my friends have gotten accepted, if I don't, I'm gonna feel like crap! I've already been turned down by Walmart and McDonalds. They pretty much hire anyone who walks through the door! Add Cedar Point to the list, and I'll be the poster boy for FML.

And this year for Lent, I'm giving up...

Well, I've taken the day to cool down from last night. I'm still pretty depressed and stressed out. I've decided that when I get back to school, I'm going to start seeing a counselor about everything that's been going on. I've got a couple months left at UT, and I get free counseling while I'm there, and today I've realized I really do need to be talking to someone.

So, when the US version of Skins first came out, I definitely did not like it, but I have to say, it's grown on me. I'm really mad I couldn't go to the audition back in the fall. I hope they have open calls for season 2 cause I will make sure to make it to that if they do.

And finally, I have come to the decision that this year for Lent, I'm giving up swearing! This is going to be a hard one. I have the mouth of a sailor, and now I'm gonna be going 40 days without saying a single one. Which ones is this applying to? Well, the Seven Dirty Words (look them up), along with damn, Hell, and anything else you wouldn't hear on a kid's show. Starting Wednesday...

This is gonna be hard as fuck.

PS: I lost my phone earlier, and somehow found it on the floor underneath my computer desk?

This blog post is rated R

Ready for a straight up venting/bitching session like in the stereotypical "teen blog"? Then LET'S GO!

Seriously, I love how I was so excited for Spring Break to get here so I could have time off and relax. Too bad I forgot that I'm from Elyria, and that I'd get pulled right back into the stupid, bullshit drama I left two months ago! Seriously? Like, this is bullshit! The last thing I wanted to do on MY vacation was see Derrick, and then not only do I see him TWICE yesterday, but he also gets brought up in conversation today. I hate him! I hate the fact that I ever called him my best friend! And that after giving him a third chance (which I NEVER do for anyone!) he still goes and does stupid shit!

Then, I always have to hear about Jordan, who is someone else I don't want to deal with. Ever! Let alone on vacation! Everything he's done, and my friends can't seem to get that I don't want to talk about him! Especially when it's about him AND Derrick! And yeah, I might laugh and make fun over the porn thing, but that doesn't mean I want him brought up in regular conversation! And why the Hell does this new "Prom" movie has a couple in it named Jordan and Tyler!

Someone else to complain about? I hate seeing my ex Nick with his new boyfriend! I can't stand it because I know I'll always feel something for him. And while talking about guys I actually DO like, Lake hasn't talked to me once in anyway since we had sex! And Lucas, who I've been into for SO long (and i know he feels the same way) will NEVER date me for some unknown reason (though I'm sure Derrick would love to make one up!) God, I hate guys! More, I hate gay guys! Why do I have to be one? I mean really?! Things would be SO much easier if I liked girls!

Well, I mean, I guess I kinda do...just one. Torrie. She's a sophomore at my high school, but she's still so in love with her ex that what's the fucking point anyway?!

Oh, and my debit card is STILL frozen! I have NO idea why, but I'm seriously getting tired of having to bum money off of all my friends, and I'm sure they are too!

And my mom's getting super bitchy about my school work when she knows I'm just gonna drop out at the end of the year anyway, so why does it even matter?! She doesn't like that I'm doing it, but I don't care, it's my life, I'm a grown ass man, and I'm gonna do what I need to do to make my dreams come true (damn it)! Even if that means I have to move out to Arizona to do it! I don't want to, but it'd probably be for the best because it would have me closer to California.

That's why I'm most likely going out there for the first week of the summer before I start working (well, hopefully working) at Cedar Point.

And the worst part of all of this is that I could be in Disney World right now avoiding all of this bullshit that's pissing me off, and the cold weather!

I sound like a whiny ass bitch, don't I? Shit.

Waiting...

Listen up two readers I have. I have a little bit of advice for you (and anyone else who might randomly find this...)

If you go to school and have a dorm, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WARN YOUR ROOMMATE BEFORE YOU HAVE SEX!!!

Yup, it's another episode of Tyler Waits For His Roommate To Finish. After math, I went to lunch with some friends, and then returned to my dorm to do my homework. Well, I walk in and Chris and Gina are going at it.

Now, normally, Chris will text me before getting it in, but for some reason, today I did not get a text, a call, a sock on the door. And speaking of the door, if you're gonna have sex, have the brains to lock it!

So now I'm in the computer lab in the basement waiting. Spring break starts in just two days! I'm not going to Disney anymore, but I'm still determined to have a good time! Probably go to the club a couple times, hoping to go to the Science Center (I'm a nerd), and of course lots of shopping!

But anyway, the moral of my post today, folks, is (as The Midnight Beast said) "Use ya head, when you go to bed!".

So...I was about to post a blog about my weekend. But then I changed my mind.

Daddy Issues

Ever since my dad got back from the cruise, things have kinda been rocky.

You see, for their 50th anniversary, my grandparents took the whole family on a cruise in the Carribean. Except, since I'm still in school, I had to pass on the trip. Which, I mean, it wasn't THAT big of a deal, except for the fact that it's cold in Toledo, and the Carribean is...well...the exact opposite. And I do feel bad about having to miss out, because I know how much this trip meant to my grandparents, but I had to do what I had to do...though if I could re-do, I'd totally miss school. I really would not have missed anything.

My dad got back the other day, and I told him I wanted to call him to talk to him, but when I called, he didn't answer. So I left him a message to call me back. This repeated for three days.

Today, I went to the grocery store to buy some food for my dorm. But when I checked out, it said my debit card had been frozen. After returning to my room, and checking my account, it was confirmed that my father had frozen my card. I flipped out. I trashed my room. I was cut off, for absolutely no reason! No...there had to be a reason...but what was it?

My question was answered a few hours later. After I had cooled down, he called me back. We talked, and it turns out, he wasn't ignoring my calls, he was just busy, which I can believe. But he was upset with me because...wait for it...I'm going to Disney for spring break! WHOA! I mean, what does that have to do with anything? Well, I guess it's because I was too busy with school to go on the the trip, but now I'm planning to go to Disney World...even though the cruise was during school, and Disney is during my break...

I don't know, it was all really stupid, but after that, we talked about school, and it made me realize that I'm deffinetly (will I ever learn to spell that word?) not ready for college. So, it's official. I am leaving school at the end of the semester. That's my final decision. I've also decided to spend a little bit of time in Tucson this summer. I need to get away, and maybe I could live there full time. I can't stay in Ohio forever, and it will get me a lot closer to my dream. But for now, I can just say that I am dropping out of school, and then what happens after that...I'll just have to wait and see.

We never did talk about my debit card though. Hopefully he unfreezes that soon though. I REALLY want nachos and queso dip!

PS: 22 Days Until Disney!
PPS: Gina's over again! Night #11! Lake almost saved me from this...damn him for canceling!

Getting Fed Up

I'm getting really tired of this! Oh my God! Honestly, this is getting really old, and getting tired of it!

Ok, maybe I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure that I signed up to have Chris as my roommate, and only Chris as my roommate. I didn't realize I had signed up to have whoever his current girlfriend is as a roommate too.

It started with Lexi. Always over, practically every night. I understoodthat she and Chris had been together for a while, so I accepted it. Then Chris and Lexi broke up, and Chris (almost immediately) started dating Manda. I thought this was pretty crazy, cause really, after having such a long relationship, you really need time to be single. But I realized that Manda was AWESOME, and was fine with her always being over as well. I mean she had been having roommate troubles, so I was perfectly ok with this.

And I REALLY liked this one, I mean she was so cool and good to Chris, and I even invited her to my birthday party in Elyria (she went there all the way from Toledo for one night!) and all our Elyria friends LOVED her just from that one meeting!

But back to this ranting.

End of Christmas Break, Chris broke up with Manda, and like two weeks later, this begins. My friend Gina, love her to death, and Chris have started talking. I don't have a problem with this, except that when this started, I told her flat out I did not want her over all the time, and she understood. Or maybe she didn't since she's been over for a straight WEEK! And I really am more annoyed about this than the other two because:

1: This is the THIRD girl I've had as an unoffical second roommate.
2: I TOLD HER I DIDN'T WANT HER STAYING OVER ALL THE TIME!
3: Since we're already such good friends, I already hang out with her during the day.
4: We're both in WBSS, so I see her all the time there as well.
5: SHE HAS A BOYFRIEND! In the military at that! And Chris KNOWS this!

If she's unhappy in her relationship, she should just break up with the guy, rather than cheat on him. And the worst part is, is that I'm way to nice to say a word of this to either of them. I sometimes wish I wasn't such a nice guy, so I could say something. Talk about wishful thinking though. Also, she just can be really annoying sometimes, and after hanging out with her too long, I just get really aggrivated.

I'm making any excuse to be out of my room these days. Hanging out with Feliza, Keri, and Gage like five times more than usual, going over to Lake's whenever possible (I'll talk about him another time), I even went clear across campus to hang out with people in my film class just to get away for a little bit, getting slapped in the face with ice on the way there didn't even bother me.

Chris is like a brother to me, and I love him, but one thing I will NOT miss next year when I've dropped out is having him as a roommate...awful as that sounds...it's true.

*sigh* I feel like a bad person now...

Umm...huh?

This is a really short update. My roommate's parents are coming up tomorrow, so I have to get to bed soon, but I just saw something kinda creepy in my room.

So I'm sitting on my bed (like I am now), when I look out the window. The lights are on in the room, so the window does act somewhat like a mirror, and you can see a reflection. Anyway, I'm looking out, and I see...like...a shadow or something standing behind me in my reflection. I turn around, there's nothing there that could have caused it. There's nothing dark behind me. It was so bizzare! Could it have been a ghost, or something paranormal? My building certainly is old enough! I'll have to do some investigating to find out for sure.

In other news, I'm recording "Fire Burning" in the studio on Monday, and then I NEVER have to sing it again!

Anyway, like I said, I need to be getting to bed soon, so I'll end this here. Haven't posted in a while, but there's really nothing happening right now, besides freezing my ass off all the time! Gotta love Ohio!

First Week Back

My first week back at school has finally drawn to a close. It has been an absolutely CRAZY one, and has proven to be a great one for me.

Well, Mondays are a great day because my only class that day is at 2:oopm, giving me plenty of sleeping time. But the rest of the week is full of early starts with 8:00am French. I haven't been up that early since my junior year of high school! I was late on the first day of the class, but the other three days, I've made it.

My professor for Intro To Business, I found out worked for like six years at Lionsgate Entertainment! Holy shit! This is why I'm at college: for connections. I have got to do anything it takes to get on his good side so I can use this to my advantage. Let the ass kissing begin!

Today, we had an extremely long rehearsal for West Bancroft Side Story. It honestly lasted twelve hours! I kid you not, and most of it was dancing. My body is screaming at me right now! But it was all worth it; I've seen videos, and it looks really good! I'm about to just crawl into bed and completely pass out! I can't wait to film it all on Sunday, it'll look freaking sweet!

Finally (saving the best for last), I found out today that...wait...actually, I have one more thing to say before this! So, I tagged Simon Curtis in a tweet yesterday, and he so responded! I was so excited! I honestly print screened it and have the picture of the tweet on my computer and ipod...cause I'm that big of a creep! But he's like my favorite male pop artist so, I think it's lightweight justified...or maybe I'm just a creepy stalker?

And now! I will talk about what I was saving for last... Today, I found out that an ex of mine is now doing porn. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned him in previous entries, but basically, he cheated on me while I was in France, played with my emotions all summer, told me he was in love with someone else the whole time we were together, and then slept with my (now former) best friend. Needless to say: I hate his guts! And the fact that he is doing porn now, makes me laugh so hard! I looked it up, and like it's not even classy playboy/girl style porn. It's the trashy and tasteless kind. And his "stats" aren't even true! It's funny cause he moved to L.A. to become a movie star...well...I guess his dream came true. He did star in a movie ;).

~Tyler~

PS: My roommate just came in drunk as Hell!

Back To School...Back To School...

Well, today I am back at school for what is planned to be my final semester. I'm having second thoughts about this whole dropping out thing, but I have this whole semester to make my final decision. If I do well, I might consider staying; I mean, I do enjoy the campus, and the people. But if I do bad again, then it's done. Technically, they will kick me out because I'm already on probation this semester.



Which is the reason I won't be getting a job this semester. I can't work if I'm on probation. Which sucks because I NEED MONEY FOR SPRING BREAK! I mean, I can pay the enterence and hotel and flight with money from my bank account, but I'd like to be able to use as little of that as possible, plus there's spending money I'll need. It's Disney World for crying out loud!



But other than school, I've FINALLY (and this saddens me to say) gotten to the begining of Goblet of Fire. I don't know why it's taking me so long to read the books. I mean, it's just such a struggle to sit there and read them. Maybe it's because I've read them so many times already, or maybe I've just been so terribly bored that I can't focus. It also seems that I've reached speaking terms with one of my exes, which is fortunate, but I would really give almost anything to be more than that...though that will never happen.

And then there's my roommate, who has also back on speaking terms with one of his exes. I will be completely honest when I say I do NOT like that girl! She was absolutely terrible to him, and then she went mega-bitch when they broke up. She started talking crap about him, about his new girlfriend, about me, about our friends who hadn't even done anything! Why he is even giving her the time of day is beyond me! And worst of all, rumor is (and I haven't talked to him yet about it to see if it's true) they're supposedly "talking" again! It's beyond me why he'd give her the time of day, and it's just absolutely mindblowing that he's considering going back out with her! She (still based on rumor here) has "changed so much" due to her new therepy sessions. If those two do end up getting back together, I'll raise Hell and flip a shit! I mean, I truly HATE this girl for everything she has done to us.

At least being back at school I'm around people all the time. I had my first movie night last night, it was such a blast! And today I get to see even more people!

Anyway, I'd better get going. Chris got this new cherry-scented air freshener. It's SO FREAKING STRONG! When I first walked in, I thought someone had spilled cough syrup!

~Tyler~

PS: Thankfully, Chris just got rid of it cause he thought it was too strong too!

New Year...

A new year means a lot of new things.

First, I have to say it: I'm dropping out of college. My final GPA was a .333. I can't keep wasting my time, money, and energy. I don't feel exactly wild about it, and I'm sure I'll be letting people down, but it's what I have to do. So I am finishing out this second semester so I can do West Bancroft Side Story (it's the only thing that's stopping me from dropping now) and then I'm entering the work force full time. That's right, I'm not dropping to go to community college, I'm legit dropping, and saving my money. I don't know if I'll be doing this part here in Ohio, or maybe I'll move to Arizona with my dad. It's no secret that I hate Ohio with a burning passion, so getting out of here as soon as I can sounds like a good idea to me.

So like I said, I'm gonna start working and saving my money, because I'm not gonna stay in Ohio or Arizona for long. I'm finally taking charge and going forth with my dream...no: plan. So when I feel like I have enough money saved up, I'm going straight to L.A. You may say I'm stupid, but I don't care. I'm tired of talking about it, it's time to actually start getting shit done. Life is way to short for me to be wasting it. I truly never wanted to go to college in the first place if I must be honest. So now, with 2011 here, it's time to get moving.

I know: it won't be easy. I am more than willing to work crap jobs and live in a shit hole for as long as it takes. I've wanted this way to long, and maybe I will fail, but I'd rather fail than never go for it at all.

And so I start saving, start planning, and stop listening to those telling me "no".
