2005-04-06 @ 1:31 p.m.Okay, if Nny were a large mirror, let's just say that he got chiselled into by three or more separate nails...just watch the cracks appear. As he makes the downward slide from friend to creepy guy in one person's life, the sunny weather does it's own damage. Shiny happy people in their shiny happy clothes showing off their artificially tanned skin. The disease that invaded Nny last week is still here. At this stage it's trying to drown Nny's lungs. It has leapt out and infected Teresa's daughter. It may also have infected Tracey...or she could have caught something from the geriatrics in the depot. Either way Nny should avoid the depot until the disease is gone. Wouldn't want to infect all the customers. "This job would be great if it weren't for the customers." Nny needs to set up his summer schedule before it's too late. Nny also needs to set up his fall schedule in whatever way works best for him. He will be the only one responsible for his education after all. Nny has no idea what is going on with his military situation. He's supposed to be getting out on a medical discharge. However they seem to be delaying the paperwork process. Soon his year contract will be up and he'll have to reenlist for one year just to get medically separated...It makes no sense, but it's not supposed to it's the military. Nny is having a hard time focusing on college. His suggestion for colleges is to start spring semester sooner so that it ends before Spring Break...just like how it ends before Winter Vacation. Spending his spring break going through the same old routines was bad enough for him, but to spend it sick has taken its toll. Texteingabe Achtzehn
2005-04-01 @ 4:46 a.m.Nny's in a rut. What do you want me to tell you? Right now, despite his head cold, he's pondering not sleeping. In high school when he'd stay awake constantly, things were fine (in hindsight anyways). Now if he gets the least bit tired: his eyes get tired, his neck aches horribly, his mind goes into horrible loops of repetition. "Hell is repetition." So says a character in a short story by Stephen King in his Everything's Eventual compilation and Nny agrees. Whether it's the same thoughts circling around in his head or dreams of doing the same things he was doing while he was awake...it really irks him to deal with such repetition. Then the precognitive dreaming kicks in and life seems to be just another rerun. As much effort as the intro psych book made to show that psychic abilities are science fiction, they failed to even mention precognitive dreaming. Nny and Nick both seem to have precognitive dreams. Although Nick has told Nny that he's actually changed what he said in real life versus what took place in the dream. Both of them seem to be in agreement that the precognitive moments have seldom been anything of importance. Usually just a flash of some small talk that should have just gone by without any significance. Yet for some reason it was etched into their brains prior to the event happening. What good is an ability like this if it can't be controlled? [Looking back on the last entry: Nny wonders if Barry the Bull put off giving his speech because of them both having basically the same topic--The sensationalist media. Nny used school shootings as an example of the problem as it pertains to the news media. Barry, when he finally gave his speech a full week after Nny, only claimed that television takes up too much of people's lives. That's why he's quit watching it. Nny may confront Barry about Texteingabe Siebzehn
2005-03-14 @ 12:01 a.m.Nny did not attend the Slipknot concert as he had planned. So he's still in need of a cathartic purge of agression. Instead, he picked up his cousin Shane. They went to Action Billiards for several games of pool. Nny even bought them jalapeno poppers and cheesesticks with large cherry cokes to wash it down. Afterwards they went back to Nny's place to play Army Men: Air Combat on the N64. Next time Nny is at Game Trader he intends to buy a few more N64 games to include Banjo and Kazooie. Nny spent most of his two nights of Reserve drill doing homework for psychology. He filled out more extra credit surveys as well. He's even started on his outline for his persuasive speech. His grade on his informative speech was rather bad, but on his exam he only missed one question. Nny, as well as Barry the Bull (who wears a Neo trench coat), both listed tone and pitch as separate traits in speaking, when apparently they are the same. Nny has to give his speech Thursday, St. Patrick's day. This speech is supposed to be six to eight minutes long. Nny's topic is based off of his research in English Composition. He's doing it about parents blaming violent video games and cartoons for their children's bad behavior. He's just not sure how to phrase it yet. Nny is picking up a few more hours at work this week, but not necessarily on the days he would like. Nny's aunt and cousins will be moving in with Nny's grandma over spring break. That will be interesting. Texteingabe Sechszhen
2005-03-04 @ 2:07 a.m.There was a much longer entry intened for this slot, but technical difficulties erased it forever. Besides, Nny tried to slip a rant into it. The highlights of that entry that should be stated though are: Despite Nny's disappointment with his grades in Professional & Career Issues in Psychology and on his speech, he's not telling you about his Human Evolution exam. He scored a 106 out of 100 (built in extra credit) which brought his grade in that class up to a 103. As bad as he makes out the rest of his week, he did have a wonderful highlight between classes. Nny bumped into Sage accidentally. It's the second time that they've seen each other on campus on accident. All the other meetings have been scheduled in advance. Seeing Sage briefly cheered Nny up. It made up for when he was saddened the day before when he thought she wasn't going to be at their once a week meeting. The rest of the entry in between was a thinly veiled rant. Needless to say though, I do agree with Nny that loud people should hang out anywhere they want as long as it's not the library, especially the third floor "designated quiet study area." Nny is anxiously looking forward to the release of Nine Inch Nail's newest album. Now I must force him to go to bed, otherwise this Nny will have an outburst like Johnny C. P.s. Taib is now in Nny's research group in English Composition II (Honors). Nny also saw Chad from his last semester class. Chad made the mistake of not taking an honors class this semester. Nny recommended Human Evolution with John Reeves for Chad's science credit. Texteingabe F�nfzhen
2005-01-29 @ 2:46 p.m.Nny hadn't been to diaryland in awhile though there were several entries he wanted to make. When he did visit here the site was down. Since the last entry Nny has been back to school. Stacey is in his Honors English Composition II class; she is even in his semester long research group. Their topic is the media's effect on children. More specifically, they are researching cartoons. Taib, from Nny's English Comp I class is also in this class. Nny almost didn't get his class because while in Minnesota or two days later at the rifle range in Chillicothe, his classes were dropped because he didn't have a chance to make a payment. So those first few days of school were a lot of leg work to get readmitted to his classes. One of those classes is Effective Oral Communications. Nny has to give an introductory speech next week. He has it written but still needs to practice it. Some random day at Papa John's, Nny got his Stratus stuck in the mud (it was one of those warmer days when all the snow melted). A father and son in the volunteer fire department pulled it out for him. They have family serving in the Army over in Iraq right now. When Nny stopped at a gas station to clean off his windows from the splattered mud, a guy at the next pump made the comment that it looked like he delivered that pizza to Iraq. It turns out that guy had served in Vietnam. Just yesterday Nny's Stratus was repossessed. Nny isn't very happy about that. Nny is resignedly accepting it. He does not like his mint green 1999 Chevy Cavalier that already has over 93000 miles on it. Most notably he doesn't like the overhead light switch being part of the dimmer switch located on the dashboard behind the steering wheel. He attributes that switch to most Cavalier related accidents. He wanted the white 2000 Dodge Stratus, but it had a standard transmission. While on the test drive (alone) he was doing fine with shifting, until he tried to back up somewhere. When he went to go forward again he stalled it out several times. Again on a highway off ramp he stalled it out two more sets of times. He realized that he needs a lot more practice on a manual transmission. He decided that he shouldn't be making payments on a vehicle he can't drive. Nny's next Reserve drill is on the fifth and sixth of January. So Superbowl weekend he will be playing Army. Not that Nny likes sports, but that might make him unable to work at Papa John's those nights. His hours have already been cut to about 16, most of which are on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The Reserves are also trying to schedule him for job training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, during this semester. Nny can't miss any school, all his classes are very attendance oriented. He has speeches to do, research projects to collaberate on, lectures to attend over material that isn't in the textbooks, and the occassional lab for Human Evolution. So instead of pushing his paperwork through to get him medically separated from the military, they're trying to get him trained up in his supply job. Nny is a tangled mess right now. He doesn't seem too upset on the surface, but in here he's seething and ready to explode at the slightest provocation. Texteingabe Vierzhen
2005-01-04 @ 8:55 p.m.Nny has returned from his Army Reserve trip to Minnesota. He will probably be ranting about it for a while. So I'm here to let you know about the upside of his trip: He never got his physical examination done before separating from active duty army status. He had it done yesterday. They deemed him non-deployable because of his whiplash injury which is further aggravated each time he wears his kevlar helmet. They did not, however, give him a medical profile against wearing one due to the colonel's assumption that the paperwork for the injury would be processed expediently. It would have been until the sergeants got it in their hands. Nny loathes "zebras". Nny has mixed feelings on this issue. A somewhat better situation happened while waiting in the dental processing line: A zebra was chatting up a squared away (and cute) sergeant who was in charge of the dental line. Through their conversation Nny heard that she was attending The University of Akron. When she came down to his end of the line he mentioned it. SHE asked HIM what his schedule was. It turned out that they share their English class. She then introduced herself as Stacey, saying she doesn't go by rank when she's not in uniform. She seemed to look forward to seeing Nny in a couple of weeks when classes resume. Nny probably won't admit to it, but he fears that when she sees how he normally dresses that she'll be weirded out by it. He has no plans of changing his attire; he is preparing to be let down when he sees her in class. She's a dental assistant (or something along those lines, both military and as a civilian job) and is furthering herself along that career path. Nny is worried that she's got her life too well planned out to ever waste any of that precious commodity known as time on him as a friend or otherwise. *Another coincidence: Stacey is in the Honors English Composition class that Nny had to reluctantly take because the one he wanted was full. If Nny had gotten into the class he'd wanted he'd wouldn't have had much common ground with her besides being at the same campus.* Texteingabe Dreizhen
2005-01-01 @ 3:16 a.m.Nny was sent on two deliveries that seemed to be close together; however the second delivery had the wrong address. Nny arrived at the address on the box only to discover a vacant half of a duplex with a for rent sign out front. He called the phone number on the box three times before getting an answer. It turned out that the guy's address was on South Main in an apartment. Nny was at an address a few miles away on Frank. Within moments, due to the fairly abandoned streets thanks to New Year's, Nny arrived at the apartments. He was greeted by a middle aged woman who paid for the pizza. She then asked if he worked at the store across from the Duke and Duchess gas station. She asked him for a ride back there since she lived in the trailer park right behind Nny's Papa John's store. The guy had stiffed him out of a tip for the pizza, but the woman gave Nny two dollars for the ride. She'd even invited him to come hang out for New Year's after he got off work. She explained that the situation with the guy was that she worked with him at a car wash, she'd bought him some Coronas, and at some point he turned into a giant asshole. So Nny felt good about "rescuing" her from a bad situation. A little while later she called the store to say thanks to that driver that gave her the ride home. So Nny got teased with "Nny's got a girlfriend." Oh well, Nny has done his good deed for the year. Another 365 days or more until he has to do another one. *Yes, this was one of Nny's "coincidences." If the box had the correct address on it, Nny probably would not have been taking that delivery with the other one. If he did then that delivery would have been first before heading out to the other one, and Nny would have been hesistant about giving a woman with a case of Coronas a ride with him on a delivery and then back to the vicinity of the store.* Texteingabe Zwolf
2004-12-31 @ 5:11 a.m.On a brighter note: Nny felt all warm and fuzzy inside on two deliveries tonight. One of the deliveries had a little blonde haired boy waving at him through the door while his daddy found his wallet. The boy wanted Nny to come in and play with his train set. Nny said he couldn't because the people on Lover's Lane might get mad. When Nny got to Lover's Lane, the delivery was to a house set way off the road down a long driveway through the woods. It's the kind of seclusion Nny would like in a house. The customer was an old lady. She had wrote a check which included a four dollar tip, but the slight catch was Nny had to drive back to her mailbox to pick up the paper and her mail for her. He even moved a fallen pine branch out of her driveway. In the process of moving the branch he got pine sap on both his hands. Such a wonderful smell to counteract the pizza scent that has taken over his car. It was after those two good deliveries that he got delayed trying to find an address on Applegrove. Since the road runs through so many different townships and towns, the numbering on it changes constantly. In addition to that, a set of apparments that is way off of the road uses Applegrove as its street address. By the time Nny solved this geographical mystery and was still making good time to the second delivery on his run, the third customer got impatient. She called up the store and received five dollars off of her pizza. "I know you. You're sensitive, and you hide it because you fear getting stepped on one more time. It seems that when you show a part of yourself that is the least bit vulnerable, someone takes advantage of you. One of them steps on you. They mistake kindness for weakness."--Henry Rollins, "I know you" Texteingabe Elf
2004-12-27 @ 9:38 p.m.Nny is currently cavorting around the house naked doing laundry, putting away laundry, catching up on email, and eating. His absence has been due to working just about daily.
