It's been a while since I last posted, but honestly, I've been so drained of energy, just typing out some thoughts would be a task. But, I'm writing tonight, so there ya go. Man, I'm really tired.. feel like just snoozing right now.
I've been helping Frank set up his message board tonight. Look out for the link on his site tomorrow, I think. It's a real cozy, friendly place... so you will just fit in right away in the comfy surroundings, and you can enjoy the convivial atmosphere.
My room is a mess. I really should tidy it up, but the stuff there is stuff I need, so maybe not. I'm away to chill out some more now. take care. skeet.

"You know, you're right! There's a whole world of vermin out there." - Caller to Dr Crane
Hehe. I love that. Well, it's been a few days. I'm a bad boy. Okay, so I've been living a bit more actively the last few days and so have had less time. I had a great dream last night, which I'm sure you don't want to hear about, but here it is anyway.
I was going to some thing... I think it may have been a dance. Well, it probably was, because this girl there grabbed my arm and pulled me onto the dance floor. At first I was a little nervous, I mean I've never tried to dance before, but it just came naturaly. And I was hot. I was the Dance Man! Hehe. It was a very fun dream.
Well things couldn't really be much better at the moment. I've sorted my thoughts out, rearranged my priorities and I must say I'm very happy. Add into that AC/DC, which I listen to *a lot*, you have the Old Skeet, back to my jolly self ;) Okay, maybe it's the caffiene as well, but it's all good.
Right now I have AC/DC on in my ear, and oh my goodness they are wyld. Rawkin doesn't begin to describe it. I gotta get me a cd walkman for this trip so I can listen to the music as I go around the US. Without music... argh. Okay, well, I'm talking crap now so I shall end this and say have a great week. Remember - YeeeeeeeeeeeeOW! Lock up your daughters! Lock up your wife! Because the man is back in town! hehehehehhe. I'm getting carried away with the music. SkeeT Love.

Well, I have all my money ready for the trip, just need to wait on my credit card coming, then book the flight arrange insurance and head off (as my town sighs with relief!). Had an awesome day. AC/DC really are something else... pure brilliance. Ahhh. Hey, something else was cool - I found my tape with "Girl You Really Got Me" by the Kinks! It's awesome!
Well, not much to say right now. I've worn myself out today! Need som relaxation! woooo. Pi gwun hae (that's for you, Jennie!). But it's early so I'll have a nice bath then chill out with Frasier. I'm feeling very Spanish today - looked myself in the mirror and said "Hola". Hehe. Well I was on a bit of a caffiene high, so that could explain it. Not long until I set off for the great journey! Yay! A lot of people I know, if reading, I just know they will be throwing a private Yay! party to celebrate the fact ;-) Hehe. I'm still a bit nervous though! Ahhhhhh. Hehe not that much anymore. I have to just jump in with both feet. SkeeT Love! =:¬Þ

I'm feeling good today. No, not just good, but awesome. I think I've gotten over that brief depression period, with a lot of thanks to some and no thanks to some others. And I guess it's those some who have been responsible for changing my mood - you all will know who you are, and I mentioned you in a previous update, so many thanks goes out to you! :) You were there for me which is just too nice of you all. :)
Today I'd like to dedicate a paragraph to a good friend of mine, Ally Wilson. In fact, he's more than a good friend, he is like up there with the best of the people I know. He was in my Chemistry class in 1999-2000. We probably hit it off right away! And after talking for a while I knew this guy was cool. These days, we can talk about absolutely anything. And I mean anything... with a lot of people some things have to be handled well and some feelings kept inside, but with Ally you can let it all flow, even if the statement is so out there, you say it to anyone else and they will call the doctors! Hehe, Ally will know what I mean. And recently I spent the whole night chatting to him, which made the night pass with such fierce pace and we both saw in the morning with the birds chirping at the same time :) Also, whenever we take a trip to Starbucks, we can chat for hours on end, even if we end up freaking out the people on the table next to us with the names of S Club 7. Hehe. Anyway, there you have it - Ally Wilson. Tomorrow, I may turn the spotlight on another awesome friend. :)
I had Twist and Shout on today, and in the afternoon played it again and danced around the house to it. Didn't follow Ferg's recommendation however, to grab a hairbrush! Hehehe. It was fun however, and I realised I can really party when I have to. Lol. Yeah - dancing to the Troggs... what a swell day!!! :) But it has been. And getting better because I think I'm now comfortably satisfied with where my life is going and I've put things that were hurtful to me in the past behind me for now, thanks to excellent advice from Jennie, Ferg, Paul, Ally and also a big boost from an email I got from Frank. You all are too cool. :) And I can't thank everyone who has been so great to me enough. You were there when others wern't and pulled me out of that sucking pit of despair. I'm away to go get more coffee now then put on some AC/DC and just get wyld. Hehe. Yes, I am mad!!! SkeeT Love!!!!!!!!!!! :Þ

A Travel Update
It wasn’t too long ago I was relatively happy with the city I’m in. Content with my surroundings, the people and generally with life. That was 1999. What happened? Well, I was at high school, had a good number of friends, and was out almost every minute of the day. Then things went wrong somewhere.
And since then, it’s been a pretty mediocre existence. Not much of a social life and limited fun. So I thought to myself that I had to change this somehow. And my upcoming US coast-to-coast trip is the result of boredom and making a joke with Keri about the Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota.
The plans are going quite smoothly so far. Starting in glorious Boston for a few days to get myself prepared. Then travelling by bus (Jennie must think I’m quite the fool!) to New York, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, North and South Carolina, then Georgia to meet up with Winter and others for a bit.
After I’ve gotten as far as the South, it is back North again to Chicago, where I plan to spend 4-6 days in the city I’ve heard so many wonderful tales about. After that, it’s heading to the North West, through various states and ending up in Seattle, Washington, my favorite city of all-time, to stay for a few weeks and soak in the Seattle Culture and scene.
After my time in Seattle, it will be time to get back to Boston, coming back through the North, passing through whatever may be there. Owww. (Sorry, listening to AC/DC and they went “Owww” and I felt like that kind of summed it all up.) The trip will last from one month to three months, depending on my money situation. I want to enjoy America, so I’m not going to be rushing it.
However much fun it will be however, I must admit I’m a little nervous about such a big solo journey. After it’s all over, though, I’ll have so many new tales, memories and experiences under my belt. It’s going to be so worthwhile. I feel like grabbing a banjo and writing a song about the whole thing.
I need to start arranging the music I’ll be taking along. I have to pack lightly, so whatever I do bring with me has to be quality music to both inspire and entertain, but on as few tapes as possible. I’m thinking a mix of Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Less Then Jake, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Aerosmith. It will be the ultimate music collection for being on the road and to enjoy my freedom with. And there you have it. Seeya. SkeeT Love.

Who would have thought you could become such close friends with someone you thought despised you in high school. Yeah, I mean you Paul :Þ But it's the most unlikely thing, and the person I thought hated me, thought I was a freak turns out to be a great guy who is totally on my level and awesome to talk to. Life is so unpredictable.
I've been feeling a little unfilfilled by some friendships lately. In fact, got really hurt by it all. Ah I guess everyone just goes through a stage where they kindof forget other people's feelings. I have to send out huge thanks to the awesome people who have been great to me recently, cheering me up and just making me feel wanted. Jennie, Ferg, Ally, Paul - you have all been there for me and it's much appreciated! And also, I was talking to Frank today, and had a pretty cool short conversation. First AIM convo actually! Which is even cooler.
Had some wonderful e-mails from my great friend Winter today... she's in Georgia and we met in 98, and will meet once more some time in May. I can't wait. A truly special friend, like all of you! :) I hope you are all doing great, so take care, and SkeeT love to ya :)

Would you believe it. Today I feel sick.... not fun. I'm going to crawl into bed soon... I can't eat anything, so I have to drink water all day, that's it. I hope it doesn't last long. One thing, I finally got AIM back on this machine, so if you want to message me click here or add Skeet263 to your buddy list. Seeya.

Oooooh I'm still very tired, so I won't post much. I need to recover. I've changed the blog some more - this is now v3.0b... what do you think? I had to move it from casaba's server though, to make the PHP work... one good thing though, it should be faster. If you notice any problems give me a shout. I'm going to sleep soon, so later. SkeeT Love.

I didn't go to bed last night. Couldn't sleep a wink, so after watching Frasier in my bed for two hours, I decided to stay up the whole night. I spend from 2am to almost 6am chatting away with Awesome Ally... about very peculiar, but nice things, ranging from Miagina Tendencies to love with lions! But a very enjoyable period of insomnia. The time flew by. Then at 8am I decided to take a leisurly jaunt into town, where I got coffee and a Seattle guide book and a USA 2001 book. That's it for now. Bedtime.

Boredom has really got me today. Not sure why, but it's annoying. I suppose after a good nights sleep I'll feel a lot more lively. All the redesign took some energy out of me. I've been planning on doing two long entries for a few days but haven't had the opportunty, or haven't felt like it. I will tomorrow though. Definitely. Good luck to Jennie who goes on her first bus trip! Have fun! :)
On the travel plans front, it's still going well. May 1 looks a good departure date if everything goes well, credit card arranged etc... so I don't lose wads of cash. It's pretty exciting which is keeping me going. I'm an adventuror, and there's nothing better than the opportunity to roam America. I'm making a rule of no excess planning - just going where the wind blows. Having a simple Starting place, midway point and end point. Boston, Chicago, Seattle. From there - who knows. Well, I'm away to get some rest. And most people I know are in relationships! I should be happy but I'm jealous. Even though I like being single... ahhhh well. I'm not looking to meet anyone anyway - too much hassle for now. Seeya. SkeeT Love.
