Not much else going on besides I GET TO SEE MY DAUGHTER TOMORROW! :D
She's staying here for a few weeks and I can't wait until she gets to wake me up at 7 in the morning just to watch cartoons!

So I started dieting
It's been too long since I've updated my blog, and I'd like to start doing so again. The new layout finally fixed the problems I've been having (blogs I followed were still showing up after I unfollowed them).
UPDATES
School - School is going pretty well. It's summer break now, and I'm unsure if I still want to attend school. I started to study computer networking (CCNA) in order to get my certification and make some real money with a big kid job. I get all A's and B's in school, but a degree in International Studies will only get me humanitarian work anyway, which doesn't really pull in the cash. With a daughter, this is sort of impossible at the moment. It requires focus, and Squishy is my main focus, so I'm having trouble balancing.
Romance - After getting into so many fights and having my heart stomped on too many times, I've finally decided to open the flood gates again and break out of my shell, and ended up falling in love with the girl that's been with me through everything. Her name is Frankie, and I love her. She's been my spine during my worst moments. We text every day and call each other on work breaks. I have a lot of planning to do for my future, and I can't wait to start them all with her.
Diet - I lost 40lbs within three months, and I'm currently eating healthy and doing small morning exercises to introduce my body to a new routine. I love knowing that I'm losing weight and I never want to go back. Tuna fish straight out of the can tastes great to me. I don't know why I ever stopped eating it. I bake chicken, cut up lettuce and tomatoes and make great tasting sandwiches too. More on that later on; you guys don't like food, right?
Work - I've been in the food industry for a long time now. Pizza Hut is definitely better than Dominos as far as work goes. The environment is great, the people are great, and I don't hate my job like a lot of my friends and family do. I work with a bunch of really nice guys, and we're all friends there. We go to concerts and smoke cigarettes together. One of the guys (name's Chris) has tattoo equipment, and he told me he'd hook me up with a new one for $20. I can't wait for that. I'm flat broke, but with all the hours I've been getting here and there, I can afford at least one :D

School, Socialization, Skyrim.
This week has been quite busy. I finally caught up in every one of my classes despite gaining a social status in the state. I had a total of two English essays, one EAM essay, three math assignments, and three French assignments with a fourth due next week. I managed to knock everything out within a couple of days with the help of this amazing study group I've been getting together with. I'm pretty sure I slipped up witht he English essays, but my professor isn't even worried about anything but the final. A whopping five-page persuasive that determines if we've passed his class or not.
Okay, I'm exaggerating, but he's pretty serious about it.
On another good note: SOCIAL LIFE. Finally, I've been getting out of the house and going places to meet real people instead of joining them on TeamSpeak. As much as I claim to love the solitude, I think my attitude was due to the fact that I had no social life, therefore creating a virtual one. Vicious cycle.
So far I'm liking the college experience and I'm trying to shed some of that influence to my friends. Some have the ambition, but lack the motivation. The others are too busy with other things like their careers and their families. Half of my friends have kids already. I think I started a trend. I'm pretty sure New Jersey is poison, at least it was for me. You can't see it until you get out of the state, which you have to pay to do by the way.
In other news, my buddy Mark has started a blog about the amazing game of Skyrim. It's called "Stories from Skyrim" and it features his character and dragon slaying horse named Golden-Hooves the Dragon Slayer. Pretty unique name, eh? His page can be found in the link below, so if you're into Skyrim, check out his stories.
