This time it took 13 weeks or just over 90 days for me to get 10k more, did waste about 2 weeks on premium membership when I only got like ten hits a day, but I'm back on track again.

The holidays were nice as I got almost 3 weeks of vacations and went on a little week long trip before christmas. I saw some good movies, went to the Rooney show in Austin, and bought some stuff for myself... didn't do anything out of the ordinary like last year, but the free time was relaxing.

After not getting accepted for the art program likely due to my low business major's GPA(which I don't regret), now I have my goal clearly set on getting myself a house with the tax break and move into it, which means I will have to start working full time for the first time in my life. We also just been moved to a new department at work and finished training, I tried working a couple of eight hours days last week and it was such a major beating. Though that is necessary if I want to get a home loan, so I better suck it up and keep doing it. What's worst is that there are suppose to be tougher rules at the new department, I just hope I can still draw at work, and get time off to go to the Muse & Silversun Pickups show among other things. By the next time I'm posting a journal, I hope that I'm about to move into my own house and my job haven't bored me to death, otherwise I'll be pretty unpleased with myself.

So it took me just over 2 years to get to 10k, but I'm happy to have finally got there. I wanted to make sure I got it today 6/26 instead of last night because it was the same day 2 years ago when I submitted the first thing: the prince painting.

I really had to totally manipulate things the last couple of month to get about 3k worth of hits, so I was able to get to 10k way before I would have at a normal pace, since I'd otherwise be below 8k at this point.

Anyways, thanks to all the nice people that are watching me here and everyone who's been to my page or looked at whatever I posted these last 2 years.

I have never posted a journal here and I don't think I'll make a habit of it, but I thought I'd make a note of what was just one of the most depressing days I can remember in forever.

The Pats were suppose to destroy the Chiefs today to open the season, and I was finally suppose to feel good about my team for the first time since that sad day in early February... but now Tom Brady(my favorite/most admired human being) is out for the year, along with all the positivity, excitement & the dream of winning this season completely gone, all before I even woke up to check the score of the first game...

I always believed that the team losing the Super Bowl will not do well the following year, but for once I can't seem to find a good reason to say that or doubt my own team, then this happened... I went about my day like normal but just felt sick and bitter the entire time, as what would have been my biggest source of joy for the next 5 month is pretty much gone.

I am still totally mad and feel like taking it out on somebody, so dirty hit, clean hit, doing his job... or whatever, I think someone had it right when commenting on the Chiefs' guy who made the hit: Thanks a lot for ruining the football season for millions of people, you no name A-Hole...

I will always cheer on my Pats and hope for the best, but this seems to be way too much for the team to overcome this year to reach positive results. Either way, Go Pats, I know Bill Belichick (my 2nd most admired person, dispite his faults) will lead the team well, hope Matt Cassel will be okay, and the whole team will rally around each other just like all the other times when the Pats were disrespected or screwed over. Again, Go Pats!
