#31/365 One Month Done

This is what I want an entire room in my house to look like when I own a house.

January. The first month of the year and the first month of project 365.

Looking back on my decision to do all of this I kind of regret it but in the end of it all I will be so glad that I have something to look back on.

What was your favorite picture?

#30/365 I'm Getting Really Bad At This.

Wow I have been doing so bad with my blog. I would say that it is because I have had so much homework and stuff like that but I never really have homework. I'm just lazy and don't like carrying my camera to my classes with me, and since I don't go outside unless I am going to class... well then I don't really have anything new to take pictures of.

So this is what happens when I don't want to walk across the hall to throw my garbage away.

Jeez.

#29/365 How Are We Here, Right Now?

Be nice to everyone.

I never like to see someone be mean to someone because you never know when you will see them again, or never again.

I know I am mean to people but I am trying to stop, I love everyone and you should too.

Blue skies, its time for the Ray Bans.

I am very proud of this picture.

#28/365 What's This? - Look Like A Red Wire...

I'm still awake at 4:40 am on this beautiful Wednesday morning. It is currently 12 degrees Fahrenheit in Bloomington, but in my room it is approximately 85. Thank you Ilstu.

I have a plethora of pointless information burned into my brain because of the countless hours i spend watching videos online past 2 AM. Its a little depressing.

Entourage is over and I have no shows to watch, any recommendations?

I wish I could take a picture of my hands typing, maybe I can... check back later in the year after I have time to practice.

What should I do this weekend? I have an empty room because Ort is going home... boooo.

You guys fitna watch Duke v. Wake Forest tomorrow? Cool.

I wish you a happy and prosperous life.

#27/365 The Air Is Like Blankets.

I am sitting in Pol 140 right now, uncomfortable and bored out of my mind. This guy just wont stop talking about 50 different -isms and uh-uh-uh-uh uh he can't finish his words usually. My head is going to explode.

Other than that, I am going to take a couple pictures tonight when I get dinner, so they will be up later today...

I'm parched so I'm going to go drink some water.

#26/365 McLean County Finally Noticed What Was Up And Sent Me A Hundred Bucks.

I didn't get a hundred bucks.

But I am about to go work out and get real buff.

I have two episodes left of Entourage before the fifth season is over, and then I am completely out of Entourage, what do I do then?!

I might want to move to Walla Walla, Washington... just because i thoroughly enjoy the name.

HAHA, now I'm over here.

#25/365 It's That Little Blue Button On The Left.

Halo is still fun after months of not playing it.

I was trying to finish the 5th season of Entourage today, but it is online and you are only allowed to watch 72 minutes on this one website a day... and then you have to wait 54 minutes until you can watch more. Lame.

Tomorrow I have to go to Com with Daniel Almanza... haha oh Daniel. Then I have to go to Business 100 with Barbara J Borders... who reminds me of a really stern and intimidating version of Squid's mom... but without the skill of making bomb ass chili.

Mom. I love your chili more.

I get to see my Dad on Wednesday... booya.

This picture was taken about 3 days before we all left to go to college... it was a really fun day and I'm glad I will have that picture to always remember them.

'Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better.'

#24/365 Sorry I'm Late, U of I Was Calling.

The Squid hurt himself last night, hehe.

U of I was pretty fun and sort of an adventure... as it usually is.

I like hanging out with my sister and her friends.

I slept on a couch pretty much half the size of me... dang.

The picture I put up today is one I took over winter break, it was really scary because i went to the prairie path alone at like 10 pm... good stuff.

I miss my family.

'It's an eyesore, my head was shaved.'

#23/365 Times May Change, But People Don't. Jaroski - You're Crazy.

I haven't taken any pictures in three days, so I'm just going to put up some of my favorite ones that I have done in the past year, oops.

Our first full week of school was absolutely horrible, and I already had to write a paper. 

Its still really cold and depressing outside.

My politics teacher is like 6 foot 9 320.

He is intimidating.

The picture is me, in case some of you don't know the man behind the project.

Love.

#22/365 There Is Some Weird Guy Laying In Your Bed.

It's thirsty thursday around these parts at the Ilstu, but I'm not participating. 

I am sitting here typing a paper for Com 110 and it is boring and dull. I took a two hour nap today right through my chemistry lecture, oops. It was 45 degrees all day today and i wore shorts to class, thank God.

I don't mean to make people sad after reading my blog, this is fun stuff. I have just been a little distracted lately and childlishly taking it out on a public internet site. Shame on me. Sorry.

I played Halo on Xbox live today and got 29 kills my first try, I'm back baby.

The Beatles are so sick.

If I didnt tell you this, you would think that the person lying in my bed is real.

Patty stuffed my pants and sweatshirt with pillows and clothes, hes funny.

#21/365 The Way You Talk.

I have never been able to give advice to anyone, and today I have advice to three people.

I am so thankful.

Two pieces of advice about life with a girlfriend, I'm pretty weathered in that sort of advice, and a third piece of advice about something that doesn't affect me. 

Sophomore year I went to a Lake Geneva leadership weekend and my goal was to be able to give thoughtful advice to someone and have an emotional conversation with someone because no one had ever come to me with questions about stuff.

Today I did that... and I'm so thankful.

God is love.

Jim.

P.S. this is a picture of a book I have to read for Politics 140, seriously?

#20/365 Grace.

This is the quad at ISU, I obviously didn't take this picture today. I haven't been up to taking pictures lately.

#19/365 Speak Truth!

Word. I'll put a picture up tomorrow, sorry I was busy editing a video that we are putting on YouTube, and I was going to put it on here, but I didn't think I should.

Back to school tomorrow, we pretty much had an extra spring break these past 5 days... they were fun but I guess it could have been better.

Edit. This is Squid, he's pretty cool. He goes to U of I and I miss him so.

Jim.

#18/365 Let's Make A YouTube Video.

So, we wanted to make a YouTube video yesterday but all we came up with was trying to put out a candle with your hand. Wow.

Its 20 degrees out right now and I don't think my computer thermometer has gone above 31 in the past 5 days, bummer.

There is football on today, but I don't really like football. 

We have school off tomorrow, again. I'm pretty excited... loves ya MLK

Mr. Chi City AKA Mr. Goodbar Aka Mr 763

Ort found him out youtube... check out MrChiCity3... hilarious

I watched Prince of Egypt last night, good cartoony movie... but if was watching that while I was like 7 or 8 i would be really scared because its kind of an intense, dark movie.

I miss you Mich.

#16/365 Compliments of Brian Maher

Sorry I haven't really been up to date with my pictures for all my followers, if I have any.

But its been very cold at the ilstu and going outside just doesn't come very often for me... so I have just been laying in my bed playing Halo and watching Entourage. Its not a bad life... but I'm a bit bored.

Stealing is bad.

#15/365 Ain't You Eva Heard Of Bookmarks?

I want to lay in my bed all day watching entourage and surfing the web because it is 1 degree out and it hurts my face. 

This weather is depressing.

I love music and chapped lips.

Not the second one.

'Raise the window, its getting hot in here. All of these breathers, and all of these suckers.'

#14/365 Oh, Mandy.

Vince, Eric, Johnny, and Turtle have been my life lately.

They are pretty funny, and have the easiest life ever. dang.

It is the coldest ever here in Blo-No (I heard that in Com today) and I'm hoping class gets cancelled tomorrow... ya know?

I'm fitna go make some oatmeal.

Paz.

'Pray tomorrow, ends up better.'

#13/365 Amentahru Wahlrab.

Yo.

What would you do?

I think i have strep throat, crap.

Classes suck so far and I still need to do some homework.

I'm trying to start a new work out plan for this semester, Kanye's.

Wish me luck, I love you all.

'Always, i know... you'll be at my show, watching, waiting, commiserating.'

#12/365 My Friends, My Habits, My Family. They Mean So Much To Me.

Second night back to school and my fun bucks already came in handy. This picture is from yesterday, but I just never had the chance to put it up. 

I lost my keys. Like legit they're gone. Maybe I left them in the door when I got back last night but i really hope not. So yea, I've got no idea where they are and I'm very distraught about it.

I'm not necessarily looking forward to going to class today... but It shouldn't be too bad.

I'll be back later with another picture and info about my day.

Oh yea, my Bus 100 teacher... she's really got to get rid of that 'dude jacket'

Peace

#11/365 My Electric Razor, Which Wasn't A Bomb, Was Still Three Time Zones Behind Me.

This is Mich, he is really funny.

Boosch Boosch Neat Sounds.

Today was a really good day, even though tears were involved, it was absolutely amazing.

I'm back at the Ilstu, not too fun but I'm going to read Fight Club, watch Entourage and House, so that will be fun.

I have class at 2 tomorrow... should I buy the book? Nah.

'That taste of honey, Tasting much sweeter than wine.'

#10/365 The 2:30 Tapes and Staying Up Late

This break flew by, and I don't think I'm ready to go back to school at all.

I'm surrounded by people I enjoy seeing, but at the same time I'm quite lonely. I'm hoping to enjoy my classes and meet some new people... and find some new places to snap some sweet shots.

Break was a lot of fun and I'm sorry that I didn't see you the night before we left Squid.

Farewell Lombard, see you soon.

Asalam Alaikum.

#9/365 Santa Is Real.

Winter break is coming to a close, only two more nights to spend with friends and family and then back to a world of endless nights of studying, walking, and eating shitty food.

But I'm excited. I decided yesterday that i may want to travel abroad for a semester my junior year, and Germany looks like it might be a choice location. That would be fun right?

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas and I hope that everyone's new year will be fantastic.

Peace and Love.

#8/365 Sic Transit Gloria. Glory Fades. I'm Max Fischer.

I saved Latin, what did you ever do?

I slept in the bed of a random male baseball player last night, it was comfy as hell but I only got 4 hours of sleep. Great pasta Mels...and great... foam party Duke?

Rushmore is a great flick... but i feel like everything I write in these damn blogs is about movies, I'll try to be more creative and I love you all.

#7/365 Your License Is Expired.

Seven pounds. Seriously? They could have done it a little better. 

The bed was comfy though.

I took the picture the day after, it was always sunny in Lombard.

#6/365 Candy

I watched 'Hottie Heath's' movie today... no not The Dark Knight, it was about methadone and heroin. But he was was pretty jazzed up in that bat movie too wasn't he. Don't do drugs, they may ruin your life. Actually... if you do become a junkie, it will ruin your life.

#5/365 I Swore That You Drove A Lexus.

I went to Panera with an old friend Chelsea today, they had baked potato soup, so i got it in a bread bowl... 10 minutes after I felt horrible.

I'm watching the news right now and University of Chicago is probably going to allow male and female students live in the same dorm room soon.

Come on ISU.

#4/365 I'm A Mac

Mac Vs. Pc

I chose Mac and I'm very glad, I laid in my bed all day watching Pulp Fiction on it.

I hope everyone is having a fantastic day, my day is going grand.

#3/365 Hipster, Hipster, Hipster

This is Nick, he's a 'hipster'. Lol.

Anyways, 6 months ago I never thought i would be friends with him... long story. Events happen and things change, and i guess that is how the world works... I think, but now I consider him to be one of my best friends.

He helped me through some of the hardest times I have so far experienced in my short life, and my life is much different now. If one thing wouldn't have lead to another over this long period of time, I would have never talked to Nick the Hipster and my life wouldn't be at the point it is right now. This is just a thank you to Nick, though he's aspiring to be a typical hip kid in the city, I respect him.

Thanks Nick.

#2/365 Go Green? Maybe.

I think its cool that people ride bikes to go green... but I'm not.

I like to ride bikes and I got one for christmas...

Well... heres a part of it.

Cool.

One Love.

#1/365 Pop Art?

Sorry, the world wide web really screws with me sometimes.

Though it is already January 2nd, this picture is from January 1st, i feel as if this might happen everyday because I don't get home until after midnight.

So this is picture number one, and its not that great, I just needed to get one on here to start documenting my year. It's my sister's finger on top of an ipod touch, it wasn't a great shot when i took it but then i jazzed up all the colors and this is what i got, they'll get better.

Check it.
