I sound like a recording

Listening to: Kritickill
Feeling: amused
So its been 2 weeks since the wreck and I figured I needed to clarify for every one that I'm alright. Still get a few people calling me like I just died so I dont want any one worrying about me every thing came out good. Aaron already has a new vehicle and our doctors visits turned out good. Was just sore for about a week. Well UTD is doing a phone athon for this week and next week and I was asked to participate in it. I agreed to do it because its to try get more students to come to UTD..... hahaha, you got me, its because they are paying me $10/hr to do it. Well today was my first day to do it and I left more messages than I acutally talked to some one. Which surprised me when I acutally talked to a real person to were a couple times I hesitated in talking. The more and more I did it the more I realized I sound like a recording. Well I didn't help it, was getting bored so I helped my sounding like a recording along. You know changing your tone at random times and crap. Have too keep things interesting. I also lost a bet to Ngyen and owe him a meal at babes. Any one want to go with us? I'm sure you can tag along. He bet me he could get more ppl to come to utd than me. He had a grand total of 3 and I had 2. I should mention this was out of like 40 people, lol. Its mainly cause its too early for any one to say where they are going, but still kinda funny to me. I get to find out when my show is this Wednesday. Getting kind of excited about it. I found so many good local bands so every one should listen when it starts. I hope you'll enjoy it. And if you like that show you should listen to Lacy's show too, I'm sure you can find out a time for hers when she finds out on her myspace. She has my favorite show on radio utd. Mainly cause when I listened to it last semester she played alot of music that I played too. So she rocks!!! I think me and Ngyen are going bowling on Sunday and are looking for more people to go so you should give me a call if you want to. Ngyen knows a place thats 50 cents a game after 7 so thats when we are going. And I do mean any one who wants to go, it should be fun. anyways I'll talk to every one later and hope every one has a great day Donald

So I'm Not Dead

I'm not dead but pretty shooken up. Today me and Aaron came back from Edna here to dallas after our break at home for christmas. Well its only a 6 hr drive from Edna to Dallas and we left at 7 am this morning and didn't get to Dallas till 7 pm. What you ask made this trip 6 hrs longer than it should have been. Well when we made it to Waco we were an intersection on a feeder road going towards I 35 if I remember right and a truck plowed into the side of us. Aaron was driving his mustang for those who dont know what he drives and we had the green light and a few cars had past infront of us before we crossed the green light. so it wasn't because he thought he still had the green or was just barely hitting the red or anything. Infact he was going the wrong way up a one way street. He hit just behind the drivers side seating hiting the rear wheel and the back half of the door going about 40mph and did not hit the breaks until after he hit us. It really messed up the car and threw us in over a 360 spin in which we ended up almost hitting a telephone pole. We didn't notice the truck until the grill was about a foot away from the car which was no time to really do any thing to prevent the crash. Luckly Aaron had the right reflex and accelerated when he saw the truck which push us just forward enough so he didn't hit the car straight on. If he had not did this the truck would have hit directly in the drivers side door and with the height of the trucks bumper off the ground it would have missed the roll bar inside the door and would have tore straight through the car. Which would have severly injured Aaron or killed him and it would have push the car side ways instead of spinning us straight towards on coming traffic and the telephone pole we almost hit which would have injured me as well quite significantly. After the hit we both climbed out of the car through the passenger's side, since the drivers side was so smashed in that there is no way you'd ever get it open, we were really shook up and didn't really know what to do first. I found my phone and it took me a bit to call my parents which I should have waited a bit so I didn't scare them like I did and Aaron did the same. The cops showed up emdiately with out us calling so that was nice. As far as getting hurt Aaron said his upper back and neck is sore but not too bad. When I first got out of the car my right knee was hurting pretty bad to were I laid on the grass for about 10 mins till it stoped hurting but its fine now and doesn't look to be bruised. It was just hit pretty hard on the impact. Along with my knee my right arm took most of the hit on the side of the door and its pretty sore right now and was really swollen in one part for the most of the day but most of the swelling has gone down now. I'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning cause I feel that I'm going to be in alot of pain when I wake up. Our minor injuries are not much to talk about but in the process of hitting us the truck spun us in to a motorcycle that was riding along side us a little ways back by the passengers rear side of the car. The rider was thrown of the motorcycle at some point in the about 20 to 30 ft slide that it took away from us and when we made it to him after the intial shock he was laying on the ground not moving much. He could talk but he didn't move really at all and he was cut up in a couple places on his arm. The paramedics came in and rushed him out to the ER I presume and we have not heard back on his condition yet but we are hopeing he is alright and it has been in the back of my mind since it happend worring if this stranger who I do not know his name is alright. I can only hope for the best and I do not think I will find out what happend to him. The driver of the truck imediately appologized and took full responcibility for the accident and I have nothing against him and was glad that he handled it that way. Yes it did suck that he turned the wrong way and hit us and all but it could have turned out a lot worse and he was admiting to his mistakes. Well after that we waited in Waco for 4 hours for Aarons parents to get to there from Edna and they brought Aaron his Mom's car to drive until its all sorted out. Tomorrow morning Aaron and I are going to the hospital and get checked out to make sure there is nothing wrong with us and to also have a record of it for his insurance. So all in all its been a very long day which could have turned out a lot worse so I'm happy to be alive and I'm really happy to have Aaron alive and well cause I don't know what I would have done if I saw him injured or what not. That would have been too much to take. Anyways thats enough for now and now I'm going to include a bunch of pictures of the mustang so you know how bad it was.

tomorrow is another day

Feeling: cold
Wow its cold. Just thought I'd let you know that. Its been forever and a day since I've wrote something new so I just thought I'd do a bit of an update. I'm staying up in dallas for most of the christmas break, which I both like and dis-like at the same time. I like it cause I'm up here with my friends with out having to go to classes so I can just have fun. Also I get to work 40 hrs a week so I can gain some extra money while I'm at it, so that means I'm at the Student Union alot this break if any one wants to come see me. But I miss my family and getting to spend this time with them. I wont get to put up any christmas lights this year with my dad. We always went way over-board with them. Any one whose seen National Lampoons Christmas Vacation and saw the lights that they had in that movie knows were my dad got his inspiration from. We always covered the house in litteraly about 5000 lights. The yard around our house was always lit up at night didnt need a flash light or anything. I'll have to go see some christmas lights around here or something to see what other people did. Also lately I've been trying to find some new music to listen to. Mainly been looking for non-main stream music that I can play on my radio show next semester. If any one has some sujestions I'll more than apreciate the help. I'm working on making a new video for my website now. Hopefully it wont fall through and I'll let you know when its through and posted. Till Next Time Donald

Something Im Not

Feeling: burned-out
I have come to the realization that that I have been angry and have had hateful thoughts in my mind most of the time over the last two weeks. Although I have good reason, considering what Melissa did to me, I'm really tired of feeling like this. This is not who I am and I'm not going to let some one who did not care about me and treated me the way she did to make me be like this. I'm tired of wasteing my time being mad at her at work and thinking of ways to possibly make her mad. She will have her's coming to her and its between her and god now. I'm not going to be rude or hateful any more. It's not who I am and it makes me un-happy. She can do what ever she wants but her actions are no longer going to affect the way I feel. She is a bad person and I hope for her sake she straightens up some time in her life. I just want to be happy again and I have a lot on my slate along with this to bring me down and I dont want to feel like this any more. From now on I'm going to be happy and do things that make me happy. I filmed Julie's football game and System Overloads concert last week and relized that I miss filming things like that. I havn't really worked on making videos lately and that is one of the things that I enjoy doing a lot. I just want to get back to being me. I'm not a hateful person, I'm not mean, and I generally like every one. As far as relationships goes, every time I look for one I just end up loseing. So I'm not looking any more. If something happens thats great but trying to find some one just ends up disappointing me cause I'm not the kind of guy most girls want. I'm just going to be me and see what happens.

Fucked up

We'll effective my birthday (today) I am no longer in a relationship. I went to work today, I didn't take off cause I didn't want to really celebrate my 21st birthday on a monday, and today I work with Melissa. She was wearing a ribbon around her neck and gave some bull-shit reason that she felt like wearing it tonight and I believed her at first. But then later in the night while we were working it moved some and I could see the hickey it was hideing underneath it. So yeah she cheated on me last Saturday and thats how I found out. She claimed she was going to tell me after work but thats still pretty fucked up even if she was to tell me on my birthday that she cheated on me. I dont understand how that could happen especially since I really felt like I could trust her more than any of my previous girlfriends. And if she wasn't attracted to me any more, which I can't see how she lost that so quick as strong as it all started out, why couldn't she tell me and at the least if she was attracted to some one else and that was going to happen she could have called me then and broke up with me then so I'd least have some respect for her. She's lost all of my respect and trust now and made this a really shitty birthday. Thats all I feel like saying now. Till next time Donald

Good news

Feeling: happy
Well it’s been a very long time since I updated but I have gone through some very tough times this summer. I can't really talk it about it on here but it has been the toughest time of my life and those who know what it is I went through understand. I still think about it a lot but I have found ways to deal with it all. Which brings me to some good news, first of all I got a job finally like 4 weeks ago, and yeah I know I'm slow about updating you on that. I work at the student union on campus as a Student Manager. It pays $8.50 an hr and sounds important but all it really is, is a shift leader. So that was good news and helped me get my mind off things but just recently some thing even better happened. I've had a crush a girl named Melissa for the past few weeks and I know she knew but I didn't know if she liked me or not. Well last Thursday I found out she did and since then we have been dating, so I'm no longer single. So things are starting to look up and I'm happy again and it has been a long time since I have been. Till next time Donald

I don't know

This has been a very bad week for me. Some one who I've always looked up to is being accused of some very bad things. I don't want to see them apart. I don't know what to believe but I know nothing is ever going to be the same. Why now, why is this all coming out now? I'm trying hard to deal with this all but I don’t know if I can. It helps being around my friends but its hard to make my self do anything. I need more time.

It's been a while

Feeling: eh
Well it has been a long time since I have posted a new entry so here it is. For all that voted to help me pick my new logo for "My Entity" I want to thank you very much it was very helpful. You can go to my website to see which logo and web banner won. Summer has been kind of boring but a nice break from school. Have been looking for a job but it doesn't seem like any one wants to hire me. Applied at several places and have only had one call back. It was for a web design job and I was really hoping to get it. Did two interviews with them then they emailed me to tell me they chose some one else, so needless to say that made me sad. It’s been really sucking when no one wants to even call me in for an interview or anything. I figured my two years work experience I've had before would be good but apparently not. I really need to get a job. On another note two things I have been looking forward too are coming up this month. Batman begins comes out on June 17th and I'm very excited to go see it. It looks like its going to be really good. The next thing is System Overload's cd release on June 25th. I've heard a preview of four of the songs that are going to be on it and they sound bad ass. Can't wait to get my copy, plus I should get a good recording of their band playing that night as well. If I ever find a job so I can afford it, I'm looking into getting a motorcycle. My parents don't approve of it obviously because of the safety issues with it and I can understand that and have been thinking about that heavily as well. Plus I would have to get a license to drive one as well and not sure were I would go to do that. It’s just an idea right now because I could get a very reliable one for around $3000 or less and it would get 50 miles to the gallon or better for gas. My friend Andrew recommended the Honda Shadow because its cheep, reliable, and it looks pretty cool as well. I'm not sure how I would look on a motorcycle but the more I think about it the more I like the idea of getting one. I would drive sane on it, wear a helmet, and be as careful on it as I could. Plus for the main part I would use if for driving to places close by and would still ride with one of my friends for long distances. It's just an idea for now and would be a while before I could get one. Well that’s all I really have for now. Till next time Donald

All I want to hear is your voice

Feeling: anxious
Well it’s been a long week. As you've read in the last entry I made a survey for you to help me decide which of the logos I've created to use. As of last count I have 28 votes which is awesome thank you all very much for voting. Would love to see it hit 50 or more by the end of the survey on Saturday. I will be posting the winner after the survey ends and that will be my new logo. If you haven't voted I'm going to put the link to the survey at the bottom of the entry so you should go vote. The next notable thing I did this week was give blood which I did on Tuesday. This was kind of a bad day to do it cause it was Aaron's birthday and I was a little out of it after giving but it was the only day I could give blood and I make it a point to give any time I can. So I'm sorry Aaron if I was a little out of it at your birthday party. I found out that every time you give blood you help save 3 lives because the split the blood into three things, I think it was plasma, platelets and something else. I'm probably wrong about what they split into but I just thought that is awesome that I am helping to save 3 lives every time I give and I have given blood 5 times now. I encourage every body that can to give blood because it’s not as bad as you think it is and you’re helping to save lives, and trust me it gives you a very good feeling afterward knowing that you did. Well now to the last thing worth talking about that happened this week. I went with Aaron and Tracy to go see Sin City. I really liked the movie even though Aaron and Tracy didn't care to much for it. It is a bit gory that’s why they didn't like it but I found the way it was filmed to be awesome. It also had a great story and actors. If you haven't seen it I'd say go see it. The story is kind of complex I don't know that I could understand it all by just watching it once. Well after we left we saw one of the strangest things I have seen in quite a while. We on the highway going home and we saw what looked to be a possum crossing the road. When we got closer it started to look like a raccoon. Then right as we were passing it we realized what it really was. It was a beaver crossing the road in Dallas. Now I didn't know we even had beavers here and why would they be crossing the road. The only thing I could come up with was he was going to see his baby's momma. All I know was it was weird and funny at the same time. Well I'm done for now. Remember to take the survey if you haven't. Till next time Donald Link to survey: http://atomicinternet.homeip.net/survey/poll.php?SID=308&SEC=20050408201323

Logo Poll

Feeling: hopeful
I'm a little annoyed that I only got two comments on my last entry when I asked for comments because I wanted to know what people thought of my new production name, thank you to those who commented, but oh well here's your chance to redeem your selves. I have made several logos for my production name "My Entity" as well as web banners. Please help me choose the best ones by taking my survey and picking your favorite. Its only up for a week so vote fast. Thanks for the help. Donald link to survey: http://atomicinternet.homeip.net/survey/poll.php?SID=308&SEC=20050408201323

New Production Name

Feeling: content
Well it has come apparent to me that, while I do like the name "Monkey for Parts Productions", I need a new name to sign at the end of my film work to show that it is me making them. I wanted a more professional sounding name since my videos have started to become more serious then strictly humor. Don’t get me wrong I will still make the funny ones when I come up with them I just don’t want to turn people away from my work just because of the name. Well I've been doing some thinking and I first came up with "Entity". I liked it very much but it still seemed like it was missing something. Well with the help from my friend Josh I now have the new name for my productions. From now on my productions will be named "My Entity". The definition for ‘Entity’ is that which is perceived or known or inferred to have its own distinct existence (living or nonliving). I believe this fits because I want my videos/films to have their own distinct existence from other videos and films. I want you to be able to watch my films and automatically realize that I was the maker of that film in turn making it “My Entity”. I will be working on a graphic logo to place at the end of my films which I hope to have soon. Please comment and let me know what you think. I also have a myspace account, don't worry I post the same entries on both so you don't have to go there to read my entries from now on, and its url has also now changed to www.myspace.com/myentity

New Video!!!

Feeling: hip
I have a new video. Finished making the music video to Stay Away for my friends band System Overload. The link to the video is at the bottom of this entry or you could always just go to my website and the link is there since I keep all my videos there. They just asked me to make a dvd of them playing at several of their shows. So I'm excited to start working on that. Have big plans for it hope they work out. If they do you will see more then just them playing music but you will understand why they do it and how much hard work they put into it. Till next time Donald http://www.utdallas.edu/~dlp033000/sysover/stayaway.html

Long time coming

Feeling: happy
So this should be long cause I have not written one in a long time. I'll start with two Fridays ago. It was the start of my spring break and I went to go see my friend Andrew's band, System Overload, play at club Indigo. They were bad ass as usual. I recorded the whole show and I'm working on a dvd for them. Also making a music video to Stay Away with the film i got of it. Hopefully I can have it all done by the end of the week. I want to finish it so I can see it and I want to send it to them, I know Andrew and Dustin are anxious to see it and I'm sure the rest of the band is too. Then last Tuesday I went back to Eisenhower park with Aaron and Josh. I have a few pics from there in my pictures part of myspace. Its a lot of fun going there. There is a bunch of rocks to climb on and being out in the wild kind of (its a state park so not completely wild but close enough) its really peaceful and a nice break from things. Then on Thursday I went to Houston and saw Rascal Flats play at the Houston Live Stock Show and Rodeo. They were awesome. They sound almost exactly like they do on their cd's, and they weren't lip singing. The sang all my favorite songs from them and also sang two rock songs at the end of the show, Def Leopard - pour some sugar on love and Bon Jovi - You Give Love A Bad Name. They were really good at the rock songs, which surprises some but I've always found that country singers generally sound good with rock music as long as they don’t try to change their voice for it *cough*Garth Brooks*cough*Cris Gains*cough*. Then after the concert I went home to Edna to spend the rest of the weekend with my family. My dad woke me up at 7am on the morning to take me fishing. I hadn't been fishing in a long time so I was all for it. Well we got to the place we were going fishing which was awesome cause its on private property so don’t have to worry about any one getting in our way while were there and started fishing. It didn't take long to start catching fish. Well at least for my dad. He caught about 3 catfish before I caught my first but that’s how it usually goes. Bout an hour after I got there I caught my first which was too small to keep so I threw it back. Then caught a keeper right after it and then after that the fish just kept biting all the way till 12 pretty much. It was awesome cause me and my dad got to sit there catching fish and talk which I haven’t had much time to do with him in a long time. Well after 12 the biting pretty much died down. My dad caught about 2 fish between 12 and 2pm and I just had some bites but wasn't able to hook the fish. I think they were little catfish just picking at the bait, but any ways right at about 2 I was sitting there talking to my dad not really expecting to catch much more cause we were planning on leaving at three and he yells Donald your pole. I look up at it in the pole holder and it was bent in half sticking straight out at the water. I jump up and grab it and yank hard. The constant pulling continues and I decide to yank again to make sure I have it hooked cause I didn't want to lose it cause I could tell it was big. It probably hooked its self but I didn't care I yanked hard again. Then I started reeling it in and let me tell you it gave me a fun fight. It pulled out a lot of drag and when I got it up near the shore it jumped completely out of the water and did a flip and went back in the water. It looked pretty big when it did that. Then I got it in and saw it close and I had caught a 2ft long 7lbs blue catfish. It’s the biggest keepable fish I have ever caught. Here is a picture of it. On top of that me and my dad caught 17 catfish all together. All and all I had a great spring break. Hope you did too and if you’re just getting to yours hope you have a great one. Till next time Donald

Because of you

I did a lot of stuff yesterday and had a lot of fun doing it. This morning I went with Tracy and Aaron to Eisenhower Park the Texoma Lake. It was awesome. We arrived there around 11:30am and found the picnic place and set up my bar-b-q bit in which I made hot dogs, hamburgers and ribs. The all came out great and I was stuffed after eating it all. We had a great view of the lake while we were eating and it was a very peaceful setting. After we finished eating, we went down to the beach section of the lake; yeah I know a beach on a lake? Anyways it was an awesome view and a great beach. I would have rather ate down there if it weren’t for my bar-b-q pit weighs a ton and it would have been a long walk to carry it that distance. Along the left side of the beach were many rocks, many of them really big, that you could climb on and if you followed them they went around the whole park. We climbed along them quite a ways and at times it felt like I was going to fall, which would have sucked cause I was quite a ways up, but I didn’t. We took pictures of it and I’m going to post them on my website so you can see them. After we left the park we drove to Oklahoma cause we were right on the Texas Oklahoma border and never have been in Oklahoma. Once we were there we decided we might as well go to Arkansas too cause we never been there either. We took pictures of us in front of the Welcome to Arkansas and Oklahoma signs but like the dorks we are, we didn’t turn off the flash so all you can see is the sign since their really reflective and picked up the flash so well. Then we stopped by a good friend of mines apartment, Andrew. I was getting tickets to his next show. March 4th System Overload is playing at Club Indigo and I recommend every one goes to see it cause they are going to rock like no other. I can’t wait to see to see the show, and I am going to film the whole thing. The only thing I was worried about was my Grandma is coming to see me today and I hadn’t finished cleaning and I was worried I was going to be up late cleaning since we got back at midnight. This is were I want to thank Aaron so much cause he came over and helped me clean up so it wouldn’t take me so long. Not only that but he did the part of the cleaning I was dreading, washing the dishes. Matt has left them there a long time and well they where putting off some rank smells. He cleaned them all while I tidied up the living room some more and vacuumed the carpet and swept up. Then me and him wiped off all the counters in the kitchen and finito it was done. So I don’t think I can thank Aaron enough for helping me. So now my apartment is clean and I want every one to come see it, even if I don’t really know you, drop by anyways. I want to show it off while it’s still clean. Anyways, sorry bout the long entry. Till next time Donald

my canvas is incomplete

Feeling: confuzzled
Hey every one, it’s been a while since i wrote so doing so now. I'm not really confuzzled it just sounded like a word I would say. I think its meaning is a cross between confused and puzzled. I do that a lot were I mix two words to make one. Yesterday I watched Batman. I love that movie. I'm going to watch Batman Returns today and I'm eagerly waiting for the premier of Batman Begins. I watched The Birds for my film class and decided that I want to make a video to make fun of it for my web site. Keep checking my website to see if I ever do and just cause it's cool. Had my first three test and they went well so I'm happy. Have another one on Tuesday so we will see how that one goes. Monday my Grandma is coming to see me so I have a hard task ahead of me of cleaning my apartment. I wouldn't mind doing it if I had messed it up but my room mate really messed it up and hasn't done his dishes for like a month and expects me to clean up after him. Well I'm always at my friends Aaron’s apartment so I don’t have to see it all and cause I don’t like cleaning up after him. I mean come on he's in college now he can clean up after him self I'm not his mother. Well he gets his wish this time because I'm not going to have my Grandma think I live like a slob. It should be better next year cause I'm either going to live alone in a one bedroom or live with Aaron off campus. Aaron's a neat freak so I wouldn't have to worry about him making a mess (sorry Aaron) and if I live alone I will clean up after my self and can keep my place presentable. Oh well have to wait till then other wise the only way this place is going to stay clean is if I clean it. Till next time Donald

It holds my eyes

Feeling: zonked
Well hello every one. Hope you all had a happy Valentines Day. Mine was nothing special since I am single and had no significant other to spend it with. But that’s alright I'm sure some day I will and I'm not going to call it a bad day just cause I had no date. I watch a movie with my friends and nothing bad happened to me so all is good. Last Saturday I went to go see Dierks Bentley with Aaron and Tracy. He's a good live singer, but I think all country singers are good live as long as their not drunk. When we were there I was surprised because a girl came up to me and asked me to dance. She was kind of cute and very nice and I enjoyed my only dance of the evening. Didn't expect to dance at all because the only way I thought I would is if I asked some one to dance and I wasn't feeling brave enough to go out and find some one. No girl has ever came up to me and asked me to dance. So it was a nice surprise. Any ways off to bed have a long day ahead of me. Till next time Donald

Here I Go

Feeling: old
Nothing bad happened so my feelings were thankfully wrong. Plus I don't have that empty felling in me any more. I think it was I just needed to do some thing. I have not made a video in a while and after making those last two right after each other it kind of disappoints me that I have not made another one. I think that what was missing. Well Julie invited me to film her last basket ball game for her building cause she wants some videos of them to remember them by. Well filming that and making a DVD of it kind of reminded me that it is what I like to do and want to do. I guess when I get to far away from it I start missing it or something. Any way I'm happy now and Julie wants me to come film her game tonight so I'll probably be there tonight filming the game. Go 65!!!! I think another thing that makes me feel good is I cleaned my room and did my laundry. Have no idea how much I needed to do that. But every thing in my room is clean. The rest of the apartment has something to be desired, but I can't clean up after Matt all the time he should learn how to him self. In about 2 weeks my grandma said she might come up and see me so I'll clean it all then but until then Matt's on his own. Which means its probably going to be like that for two weeks. Oh well. Till next time Donald
