Just talked to dad, he's in Houston for a wedding this weekend. He said we're probably going to get these passes with unlimited skiing at Breckenridge, Arapahoe, and Keystone, and 10 days at Vail or Beaver Creek. I don't like Breck that much except that's the only place I've been in the terrain park at. Keystone is great but I have to explore it a little more. I think Vail is the best park I've ever been to I can't wait to go back. Beaver Creek and Arapahoe I've never been to. BC looks so so by looking at the map, kind of spread out but there looks like there is a nice black hill on the upper middle. Arapahoe looks awesome! It's small but there are no trees because of how high it is, so there are a ton of trails. I bet the trails aren't even that defined its just one huge trail you can do anything on... we'll see. Being so high up might mean its going to get icy.

Last night was Aarons surprise birthday party. I had a great time even though I didn't stay for very long. Happy Birthday Aaron!! I want to apologize to Jen for leaving early please don't be mad. Hope everyone's weekend goes well... cya!

Things I want to do before the end of the year:

Know ASP.NET like the back of my hand, and do a few sites with it

Learn flash

Get all A's & B's for the fall semester

Learn how to salsa dance

Learn a new language

Pick up 2 more strong clients

Things with MJ are going well. Not much to report on that end, I'm happy. The other day my dad bought a car!!! That made my week, congratulations!! It's a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, the 5.9 v8... power! hehe. I've always loved the Dodge trucks, if I was going to get a truck that's what I would get. Nothing much else to report, well there probably is but I don't feel like writing a book tonight. Tomorrow is going to be good... I'll write about that next week though. Sunday I have a soccer game against American United. That's the team that has most of the FIU players and a bunch of other really good players, so I'm going to enjoy it. Anyways I'm off to bed. Maverick you are the man! Hope you did well on your final. By the way, I want my NYC Underground Party vol. 3 CD Aaron!!! We have to find it this weekend... I love that CD and I've been craving to listen to it for a month. Goodnight all.

Oh ya... happy 1 year anniversary to my journal!

[Actually it's Tuesday now, 3am]

Ok lets start with Friday the 9th. I didn't get my car back - I was too late and the place had closed, so I got it out Saturday morning (for an extra $50 of course). Friday night I did however gather enough emotional strength to go to the pre-rush party. It took some convincing but I got MJ to meet me there. The party was good, there was a lot of people, and everyone was having fun. After I spent some time alone with MJ and asked her out... so now it's official.

Last week was Rush. All of our events were AWESOME! Especially the luau on Friday... wow! This weekend was pretty good. I've spent most of my free time with MJ since we've been going out. I haven't had a real girlfriend in 4 years (you can't really count Lisa, and Dana and I weren't "official") so I thought it would feel weird but it feels great. I guess if you wait long enough the right person will fall into your lap. I can't even describe how incredible she is. Yet I feel somewhat bad because I've spent less time with my brothers and haven't been to as many soccer practices. I need to find a happy balance with everything.

Today I did bad on my math test. I got an A on the first one so I'm not in a bad situation. If I get an A on the last test I'll be doing good. Tomorrow night is WTB. I put some pictures of the last one I went to in the gallery. (I think it was 2 weeks ago) Also last week I had a meeting with a potential client and sent him a proposal Friday so hopefully that deal goes through... it would really help. Raincoat was put on pause last week but hopefully I'll get to do a few things to it this week. Oh and I lost my soccer game this week... sucks. At least I got to see Kevin Myers - I played with him in high school and he's teaching (and coaching) at Sunset now. They won the state championship this year.

Oh and my dad got a new job in Denver. I'll be going out there a lot during the winter to snowboard. He moved this weekend and starts work today. He hasn't been online and doesn't have a phone so in case he reads this I hope things are going well and get online so we can chat. I'm going to get up early and do some errands and study tomorrow. Goodnight! And a big kiss to my gf!!! :-*

I got my car towed from the grove last night :( I parked on the side of the road and there was a lot of cars there so I figured it would be ok. However when I got back it was up on the truck and the guy wouldn't take it down because I couldn't pay for it. Today was a depressing day because of that but also because a couple other things. I don't even feel like going to the party tonight, I just want to sleep or work or something. I had to call a potential client about a job today because I need the money now. I really didn't want to do the work but whatever, guess I don't have any other options. Now I will have to delay my raincoat project which I had planned on making a lot of money off - once it was done. I got so much work done on it this week too, it's a shame. There was something else I was going to say but I forgot. On a different note, I think its getting to that point to where I am going to ask MJ out, but I think I'll hold off for a few days :( Hopefully I'll find something to cheer me up tonight. Bye

Party on Friday...
