I've been staring at this page for about 20 mins now.

I just don't know where to start.

It has been such an emotional and stressful past couple of weeks.

I also feel like I really need to think about what I want to write about.

There are some things I really shouldn't say just yet.

So big news, I am once again single.

I don't know for how long, but I plan to enjoy it.

It was just best that it happened now rather than waiting it out.

Not one of us... one of us.

Random thought.

The only thing I'm worried about right is trying to get my shit together and get this semester over with.

I can't wait for the summer.

I'm gonna take it nice and chill over the summer.

Not going to worry about anything.

You guys should check out my deviantART if you haven't.

Ummm, what else should I write about.

Oh, PAX is only 179 days away.

Yes, I am counting down.

I have nothing else to look forward to this year.

No, that's a lie.

I know things will get better.

I don't know how or when, but they will.

Wait, I do have something to look forward to.

I can't talk about it yet or anytime soon, at least not until it happens.

Something that may change my life.

Some people may not be happy about it, but I feel like it will make me happy.

I hope it does.

If not, oh well, I still have a long way to go.

Not worrying about it just yet, just gonna go with the flow.

I'm done for now since I'm just rambling.

~Turo

It has been a while for reals this time.

Over two months.

It's the longest I've gone without writing a blog.

Why you ask?

I'm not sure, maybe it's because everything is going great.

I'm at work and felt like writing something, just to let people know how I'm doing.

Where should I start?

School.

It's going alright.

I must admit, I'm pretty burnt out.

I can't myself wanting to work on any assignment right now.

It sucks, my head is full of ideas, but I don't feel like getting them out.

I'm in need of another vacation.

I guess it doesn't help that I'm on campus every single day of the week.

Oh well, I chose it to be this way.

Moving on.

For anyone wondering, yes, Carissa and I are back together.

It's been so wonderful.

I'm madly in love with her.

Just thinking about her makes me smile.

:) <<<<<<<< see?

She got to meet my parents a couple of weekends ago.

The parents approve.

Work.

Work is work I guess.

We had a LAN party last weekend for work and it was awesome.

What else to talk about?

Oh, I'm getting a new phone.

It's a gift from the parents and it should be here tomorrow.

Also, my car is being worked on and should be ready tomorrow.

This means I might be going home for Thanksgiving this year.

Will I visit any of my friends that are back home?

Not sure.

That's actually why I wanted to write tonight.

This is something I've been thinking about for a while now.

I've been told that there's friends of mine that are back home that have been talking shit about me.

Talking about how I'm never gonna make it as a graphic designer.

It's bullshit.

These are people that are suppose to be my friends.

What do they know?

They have no idea how hard I'm busting my ass over here.

But no, I won't complain about that.

I love what I do.

I'm not the one back in Dodge Fucking City.

I'm out in Denver living my life.

I have an amazing life out there and wouldn't trade it for anything.

I have a great apartment.

I go to an amazing school.

I have the greatest parents in the world that are willing to help with everything and anything.

I have the most amazing friends here, these are the friends I will stay in contact with many years from now.

I have the greatest most amazing and wonderful and sweetest girlfriend in the world.

I lucked out with her.

I can almost say my life is perfect here.

The people back home are just jealous.

I don't care how fucked up that sounds but it's true.

Be jealous, keep on hating, that's what feeds me to keep on going.

Our 10 year high school reunion will be here sooner than we think.

We'll see who's who then.

For now, I'll just keep doing what I do.

Enjoying every part of my life with a big fucking smile on my face.

I leave you all with some lyrics from Gym Class Heroes

All press is good press kids So if you wanna see us gone
Then I suggest you keep our name out of your headlines
Unless you wanna mess that is
Your best bet is to set your dirty laundry separate from the clean before your deadline
Admit it you wanted to be an artist
But your parents and that tiny voice inside you said it wasn’t worth the hardships
What better way to compensate then to hate on everything you wish you were
But didn’t have the balls to harness
Pop culture’s my trip, somehow you think your gonna stop us
Cuz you flirted with a chick who’s got my tongue in her esophagus
Bitches post anonymous
We shat on 07, 08 is gonna be great imagine 2011
Give me one good reason I shouldn’t dead this debate
Don’t worry I’ll wait....
That’s the f**k I thought
Cat got your tongue
Next time get your facts right
Google me and act right


(Chorus)
How can I be
Be without your hate
It gives me peace of mind
So please don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Its your hate that keeps me believing
That we’re the greatest of all time
So please don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Because I can’t bare to see you go
See you go
Don’t tell me its over
Because I can’t bare to see you go
See you go

(Travis)
Hey Mr. Internet
To whom it may piss off, yea you and you
Here’s a list of shit you didn’t know but now you do
Exploit my bad habits
Tell them I do drugs
Tell them Travi smokes more crack than Tyrone Biggums does
Tell them I can’t rap
Tell them I dumb it down
Tell them not to buy tickets whenever my band's in town
Tell them I sold out, say I did it for the fame
And how I buy magazines for the sake of seeing my name
Tell them I how frequent parties trying to get that page 6
Tell them so and so said so and so saw pictures of my dick
Make me out to be an asshole that don’t deserve his fans
Make me more insecure than I already am
Kick dirt on my accomplishments if you're ever bored
Just document it well and don’t forget to hit record
One hit wonder my ass, what are you talking about
Let them keep blogging trash im gonna take the garbage out

(Chorus) w/ Lil Wayne ad-libs
How can I be
Be without your hate
It gives me peace of mind
So please don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Its your hate that keeps me believing
That we’re the greatest of all time
So please don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Don’t tell me its over
Because I can’t bare to see you go
See you go
Don’t tell me its over
Because I cant bare to see you go
See you go

Day Two!

It started out a whole lot better. I got some sleep, the last time I got sleep all weekend I might add. They guys and I decided to go somewhere nice for breakfast since we had a long day ahead of us. We walked around for a bit downtown looking for a place and we founds this really nice place by the bay.


We had an amazing breakfast there and we were all ready for the rest of the day. We started by going back to the expo hall and just walked around. During the day, we went over to a panel about Harmonics and how they started out. It was ok, the main guy took my sharpie and never gave it back. After that, I went back into the expo hall and went to the 360 booth. There, I was standing there trying to figure out what was going on. I look my right side and there's a guy standing there from Microsoft and he looked really familiar. I went up to him and asked him if he was Chris Paladino. I was right, it was him. Chris started out doing a podcast many years ago (dreamstation.cc) which I'm a big fan of. They moved to a different site called videogameshow.org and started a new podcast. Anyway, here's a pic with him:

Any of you that have a 360 might see him on the insider Xbox every once in a while. I asked him where the rest of the guys were since I knew they were gonna be there. He called them all up and I got to meet them all! I was so excited, I've been a fan for so many years and it was great to finally put a face to the voices I hear week after week. These guys are so amazing. Oh, before I get really into talking about them, I did take a photo with a gamerchix.

So, I starting talking to the guys from the podcast and Keith asked me if I had any plans for the rest of the day. I told him I had one thing to go to but other than that, I was free. he asked for my number and said he would call me whenever they would go play games or something. I gave it to him thinking that he was just being nice. I said my goodbyes and started walking around again. It wasn't more than ten mins when he called and asked me if I wanted to go play Magic with them. I told him I was down and I met up with them. We walked over to the other building and found a table.

We hung out and it was so awesome just sitting there and laughing with them. Then a bunch of other people from the gamecast network showed up and it was picture time.

We took this photo about 20 times, everyone had cameras and they all wanted photos.

After this, they were heading over to dinner and asked me if I wanted to join them. I really wanted to, but I didn't. I already planned on going to the Code Monkeys talk and I'm so glad I did. That was so amazing as well. The creators were there and talked about how the show got started. Then they surprised us by showing us the un-aired never before seen pilot episode of Code Monkeys. Being a big fan of the show, this was the greatest thing ever. There was only about 50 people that got to see it and I'm glad to say that I was one of them.

I got ahold of the roommates and went back to the hotel room and hung out with them for a while. They wanted to go drinking so we all went.

We went to a nice bar downtown and hung out for a couple of hours. Keith ended up calling me again after dinner to see if I wanted to hang out with them. I really wanted to, but we ended up staying at the bar for a long time. We walked around downtown the rest of the night and played some games at the expo and with that, I end this blog. Day three is soon to come!
