estoy aqui

over a month since i posted. not going to say anything value right now. except that the wings are playing tonight. lets go!

a-w-a-k-e... whats that spell? by the matrix! its awake!

yea. i'm awake. i got up at 7am. i dont usually that early since i dont usually have to work till 3 or 4 in the afternoon and lets be honest. i dont have too much of a life outside the four walls that contain my oh so glorious work place... best buy. better known as the buy more! 

and i'm suprinsingly awake for being up earlier today. of course i've had roughly an hour to get use to the aforementioned fact but still... its awesome. 

so i had a nerd-tastic time last night. by myself lol. got this new phone. started downloaded ringers and such for it. now when i get a text (except from my dear friend yoshi) my phone vibrates... then makes the sound effect that a transformer makes as he well... transforms lol. (when yoshi texts me my phone goes "YOSHI!" in yoshi's voice of course.) i also am using the same ringtone that rusty (from oceans 11, 12, and 13 (played by Brad Pitt)) uses. specifically from oceans 12. its a pretty hip (no i can't believe i used that word in a sentence either)

i am really hungry. i think i'll stop and buy a muffin somewhere. 

i want coffee too...  and in the melodious words of Andrew McMahon... "i need caffiene in my blood stream, i take caffiene in my blood stream" 

seriously if you haven't listened to that mans music. you should. he's an awesome musician. either something corporate (good but not quite as mature as his latest project) or Jack's Mannequin. in my personal opinion, the better of the two projects. but thats up for debate. if you want to debate it that is. seriously. i'm up for discussion... anytime, anywhere (unless i'm working which means you'll have to come up to best buy and pretend to be buying lots of crap from me while we discuss). and yea almost any topic. so lets. 

i'm gonna go shower now. get my day really started. then food. then caffiene. or the other way around. not sure. 

TAKE HEART! (not only a great farewell of sorts. but also a new up and coming band. www.myspace.com/takeheartrock check them out!)

peace.

terrible friend. for the win

emo title? perhaps. call it reflection. call it confession. call it truth

i've come to realize, that there are some times, where i couldn't be a worse friend. to my friends that is. this is not me seeking perfection in my actions. as cliche i could possibly could be. acceptance is the first step. and i found myself just being a lousy excuse for a friend tonight

one of my friends was hurting. it was obvious. and yet i wasn't there for the person the way i should have been. instead i was full of sarcastic remarks, flying objects, poking fun, and straight up lamezors. 

if there existed a giant illuminous "lamezors walking" sign that floated above your head when you reached high levels of lame, my sign would have blinded the sun. (no the sun doesn't really have eyes, but still the sun would have gone blind no joke) 

what the heck? i reward friendship with jerkness in the time of need. not cool. so this is just me putting it out there. hey! i was not being a friend! so hopefully the likelyhood of me repeating such an act will be drastically lowered

am i gonna screw up again? hecks yes! but its all part of the package deal that is humanity. do you want fries with that? WELL TOO BAD ITS COMES IT ANYWAYS! (<--- thats essentialy how this works, hate to break it to you) 

but....

(WARNING CLICHE APPROACHING)

you gotta get back up on the horse...

i have never been on a horse! what do i do with that cliche now???

I DONT KNOW!

*flies into space*

no in all seriousness. i want to be a better friend. if you catch me falling short on this. CALL ME OUT ON IT. 

please. 

bye people.

heeeeyyyyyyoooooo.

feels like its been a while since i wrote on this thing

thats prolly not a good thing, means a way too high potential for this post to be way way way way way way way way way way wya way way way way way way way way way tooooooooooo long. 

wow. there i go already. i rock. well not really. i keith. i am no rock. no sir. 

so the dual boot was a success. took a few tries. and now i only have 30gb (of original 120) hard drive when i'm in windows. thats because the rest is in ubuntu. but yea its a grand old time. its grand old time? or grand ole time? or grand ol' time? i dont know!!!

i'm on twitter now. and stickam. www.twitter.com/keithpjones and www.stickam.com/ktronlives (<--- thats also my aim name if you want that tho i'm not on terribly often anymore. but yea thought i'd put that out there)

i have way too many online accounts i think. oh well. 

lost was on last night i want to watch it. prolly will after this

still no word from moody. gah. columbia sessions tomorrow!!! so yea kinda excited about that. should prolly print out stuff about occ for that. opps!!!

the weather is amazing!!! i love it. quite a bit really. the wings are playing. i'm not watching. shame on me? maybe... prolly not. my dad would disagree. 

yea so... thats all i can think about right now. 

oh wait!

i watched a video about the death of youtube. and i just went to the site. and some of "new" links aren't working. 500 internal server error ha! 

thats it. seriously. really. why so serious? because this is really long post thats why!!!

God bless ya. whoever you are. PEACE!

i'm adding another operating system to my laptop. and i'm excited. 

i'll be dual booting vista with ubuntu. should be a party

i should hear back from moody any day now. not sure how i feel about it. on certian days i feel anxious enough to generate 1.21 gigawatts of eletricity. and other days i'm more or less indifferent. 

in case you didn't get that reference. 1.21 gigawatts is the energy level requirement to power the flux capacitor and achieve temporal displacement via your customized delorian. for questions and concerns please contact customer service at ELB@MRFUSION.COM

so yea... thats about it really... oh. i'm drinking coke right now. fan-figgity-tastic

fan-figgity-tastic? sometimes i dont understand myself 

i want ice cream. 

and new shocks/struts for the jeep

oh well can't have it all can we? 

how are you doing today?

if there's someone reading this lol.

BYE!

silly...

so at this current juncture. i feel both silly and accomplished. 

silly because...

i made changing the backgrounds, and bordres way way way way too hard. turns out blogger does the coding for you, just pick your pictures!!! wish i had know that before

acomplished because...

i wiped my hard drive. working on restoring files now. computer runs MUCH better than it did before. all my music has been back up (first and more important task). now i'm waiting for itunes. then tomorrow i can restart this guy for the all disk virus scan

so funny enough. when i reinstalled vista and deleted the previous installation. i got rid of the driver for my grapics card. lol. my bad. no worries. its fixable. 

i want to got sleep! 

NIGHT!!!!

nuevo

so i dug up the more or less miniscule amount of knowledge i have about html formatting and customized my template? thoughts? 

i like space. if the hubble telescope were a person. we'd hang out. a lot. and look at stars. a lot.

twinkle twinkle light star... 

you are so darn cool. (<---- thats my version)

if you go to google images and type in things like space, blue space, cool space, galaxy and such... you can find some pretty awesome space photos. 

i'm trying to figure out why i'm still awake. wait i know. because i thought "hey can you edit the html on blogger?" answer to that turned out to be yes. then i turned to my reflection and asked "keith do you remember anything from your 7th grade basic web design class?" "a bit perhaps, why do you ask" i answered. "well we could customise the backgrounds and such instead of the dumb preset blogger template" i offered. "well now thats a planno if i've ever heard one!" i responded with enthusiasm "couldn't you say something cool there, like brilliant deduction watson!"? jested me to me. thats when i looked at myself and said "you suck, lets just do this" i returned the look and replied "very well. insomia ahoy captian!" 

*take five*

as i re-read that paragraph i seriously started to doubt my sanity.

maybe that's enough for now... I SHOULD REALLY BE SLEEPING! OH SNAP! 

bye.

location, location, love

so guess what! i moved. yep. no more downtown northville for me. no more 4 minutes travel time to work. what a shame. 

no... so far its been good. living with a good friend of mine in the northern reaches of farmington. takes me about five times longer to get to work, but that just means i have to get up earlier no problem with that... why? 

BECAUSE OF COFFEE!!! no seriously... without it i probably... lame word... prolly... wouldn't make it. got have in the morning

there's currently a flower obstructing my view of the tv which is playing reutrn of the jedi (legit!) 

PLEASE HOLD WHILE OUR CURRENT BLOGGER ADJUST THIS SEATING POSITION SO AS TO ACHEIVE OPTIMAL VIEWING CAPACITY. 

BEEP BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP BEEP BEEP BOOOOOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

(sorry for that, our hold music wasn't working, here's some smooth jazz to calm your souls)

*JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING*

oh hey sorry about that. i hope you enjoyed the jazz though. i certaintly did. nothing like jazz music to help you with such a daunting task like moving your chair oh... 4 or 5 inches or so. *thumbs up* i'm a champ!

so yea farmington, f-town, crazy ville, woo hoo! so there's a best buy (which is the company i work for) literally around the corner from where i live now but i still work at the novi store... not a lot of logic there but i like it there.  

i get to shopping tomorrow!!! for food!!! exciting. not the spending money part, but the having cooking supplies part. 

so that was kinda random and well, ridiculous to say the least. so i'm gonna change the mood bit, shift the focus, change the venue, jump to the side, shimmy shimmy, perhaps a quater turn to a slightly more impacting subject. 

i know... kinda weird right? not the usual. but stick with me. that is if anyone's actually reading this. 

so. i got to hear shane claiborne last night in ann arbor. and his stories of love and community was nothing short of inspiring. love really can change the world. i'm seriously thinking about one day just buying a warehouse, converting it to living space and invite some homeless in, get people living together, we share things. just like the early church. seriously, it would be amazing. 

let me know if you're interested in that. 

so yea. kinda running out of typing juice. (that doesn't really exist, i just couldn't think of a good noun but for the sake of this blog. it does exist. yay for typing juice)

take it easy guys. have heart, and most importantly. LOVE!

just a little warning...

hello! 

i just want to let you know. right now, at this very instant, at this single point in time. 

i came into this post with no ideas. 

prepare for the randomness

i really dont like driving at night. maybe my eyes dont work properlly or something but i get headaches from other people's headlights, and they seem overly bright to me. overall its really not a fun experience. 

so i'm moving away from the family temporarily until further notice. thats going to be kinda weird, same routine, same job, more driving, but not being around the family all the time. WEIRD! (seriously i can never spell that word. "Weird" it always looks... well...WEIRD!" not like the word "beautiful" which i can ALWAYS spell thanks Jim Carrey's role in Bruce Almighty. seriously he spells it out "b-ea-uuuuuu-tiful." and because of that. i can always spell it! THANKS JIM CARREY!)

i'm not going to lie. i'm a big fan of long thoughts within the "(    )'s"

i choose to go with the symbols there as opposed to the word because i'll be honest, i usually cant spell it. sure i could use spell check but for some reason we haven't been getting along lately, half the time is says no suggestions when i'm only a letter or two away, or says words that I KNOW are words aren't words. which is really upsetting. so yea... me and spellcheck. not really on speaking terms. (not that i talk to things like spell check....i'm not that lonely... at least i dont think i am)

MOVING ON!!!

i need to start writing music again. i have an awesome friend who happened to be so awesome as to lend me a sweet guitar (much better than the ones i own "pssssttt. dont tell them i said that, i dont want them to get jealous!"). so i feel like i should start writing again. i hope i actually stick to it this time. everytime i start writing music i hit a block and give up. word/poetry/fiction, no worries, i can usually keep that up for as long as i want. but music... its not quite as easy for me. 

wow. i think this is getting to be rather long...

sorry if i'm wasing so much of your time. but seriously... THANKS FOR READING! 

maybe i should invest in a video camera, and do some video blogging instead, not sure how entertaining it would be... but ya never know. 

*makes sound of car running out of gas*

i think i'm out... part of the reason why might be because its 143am, but who know!?!

no seriously...

who knows?

i'm curious.

CYA! 

i need...

A RECORD PLAYER

no seriously. i've finally come to discover the nostalgic beauty of vinyls. the other day i bought the soundtrack to the movie juno, which is an awesome film... whats that? you dont agree? well i dont care what you think. seeing as you're just disembodied imaginary feedback i generally converse with during my blogging. so go away and listen to your crap tunes by yourself. cheese.

wow now i feel lonely. 

i'm out of my mind. 

anyways. i bought the soundtrack to juno on vinyl the other day and i need a record player so i can fully enjoy it. no seriously the record is orange! how legit is that? (forgive me for the lack of response to that question, my disembodied imaginary feedback is pissed at me for calling his music crap)

i'm hoping my mom has one in storage. i think she does. LETS HOPE! 

i'm out. 

what do i have to do?

so the fray is coming back to detroit on junes 27. thats two days short of me turning twenty (which is kinnd scray lol) 

some may call me silly for wanting to see them a third time, not to mention i'd be super far away from the stage this time, which couldn't possibligh beat 2nd row at St. Andrews Hall. well of course it doesn't beat that, but there's still the fact that Jack's Mannequin is playing with them (AWESOME) and it'd just be a cool way to celebrate my bday, chilaxin out on the grass with friends listening to two really really talented groups of musicians. 

so i asked my parents to buy me a ticket as an early birthday present. they might do it. 

want to go? if lawn seasts are purcahsed in packs of 4 the price goes from 17.50 to 12.50. 

let me know if you want to go. peace.

did i ever tell you i have trouble sleeping?

*looks at clock*

its 4:52am. i'm awake. 

i'm also drinking a coke...good idea? probably not. 

i want a video camera. so i can videograph things. dictionary.com says videograph isn't a word. so......PATENT! 

               "videograph"

there. its done. 

wow i'm being extremely random. i'm sure the late (or early? or late? or early? latrly? yea!) of the latrly of the hour has something to do with it

so i had a typo earlier which you didn't see thanks to the backspace key but i typed "house" instead of "hour" and that made me want to watch the show house. i wish i owned the season dvds of that show. probably a good thing i dont tho. otherwise i would waste lots of time. 

hey blogger thanks for that draft autosave! *thumbs up*

................

should i continue being random or just end this now so as not to torture anyone else for much longer?

sounds like a planno, i'll go back to my coke and my movie now. 

oh and just a thought i'm not awake because of the coke, i couldn't sleep, then i decided coke would taste good. so what if i'm addicted. i'm down. 

bye!

awakening

command + mission = commission. 

matthew 28. the great commission. 

5 years ago i got to know this character they call Jesus. He brought me out of a life of darkness and into a world filled with light. 

5 years later and i've made a royal mess of things, and hardly acted the way i should in response of such an act of generosity and grace. 

5 years from now. i want to be able to say something that is quite the opposite. 

i want to love God. and i want my life to reflect that.

i want to be a light. bright like a lightbulb

Good Films and Funny Times

So currently i'm watching the dark knight. just wanted to say... it is a phenomenal movie, i love it. 

anyways. so i think i've worked out a plan as far as education goes. i plan on attending columbia college chicago in the fall of 2010 going for a bachelors in photography. before that i'm gonna to go to oakland community college and get some general education requirements out of the way. so yea... theres that.

have you ever seen those things, that some people wear, they look like phanny packs at first but they're designed for some sort of hand warming... give me a sec i'm gonna google it... k i found it 

there was a group of guys in best buy today (thats where i work) wearing them today, except they had camos ones. hahaha, i guess if you're gonna have one it might as well be camo. oh wait whats that? gloves? what are those? new invention huh? worth checking out i bet. seriously all over the radio people are asking "what are those guys wearing? i dont get it?" sometimes any and all frustrations i feel from working there are balanced out by the hilarity uttered over the the radios.

morings suck. what you dont think so? wow. i uhhh. gosh. this is kind hard to say. seeing as i dont know who you are. but you migth want to get that checked out. *twitch*

oh and the twitch, not caused by someone liking mornings, i just randomly twitch sometimes, especially if i'm cold, which i am. right now. without a doubt. yep. its cool in here. its getting cold here, so put on your winter jack coat, gloves, hats, scarves, and warm things. wow. i'm strange. 

coffee is good. i'm looking froward to coffee. and sleep. hopefully i'll get that hang out with them in the next few hours. seriously... sleep.. oh man, talk bout cool. i wanna be like him when i grow up. 

did i mention i like personficiaiton? gosh this is getting to be a long post. i'm sorry. oh i guess even though its prolly not super important but personal info nugget #2... here it is...i like my converse shoes a lot, even during the winter yea its cold, but two layers of socks always helps

"let me get this straight. you think that your client one of the wealthiest most powerful men in the world is secretly a vigalante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands... and your plan is to blackmail this person? ......good luck" - lucius fox

love that movie. 

Spaghetti with a side of epiphany

order up! one spaghetti entree with a side of epiphany! 

hold the phone. i didn't order this... well the spaghetti i made myself, with italian seasonings, four cheese tomatoes 

sauce and crushed red pepper, talking yumtastic. 

but an epiphany? didn't see that on the menu. 

but i guess thats the nature of epiphanies. they just kinda show up unexpectedly. sometimes you might feel the coming on or experience a need for such a phenomenon, but i sure as heck wasn't. 

woah. maybe i should have started with some intro info. dang. okay i'll try to make this as quick and painless as possible. 

my name is keith. this is my blog. i'm 19. i dont go to college (go ahead call me lame). i like light bulbs, they're cool, we hang out. photography demands and openly receives a lot of my free time and thought. i blog because i can. perhaps this one will last longer than its predecessors. that enough for now? i'll drop a little nugget or info here and there, and we'll make a little evening of it sound good? (hopefully, unless you're reading this in the day. in which case. yea. not so much... k. onward!)

back to what i started typing about. 

epiphanies. sometimes they suck. sometimes they rock. this time. i think it might rock. i'm not sure. 

so i've reached a point where i'm seriously evaluating my life, my choices, areas of study, what i'm doing, and more importantly what i'm not doing. for a long time now i've wanted to study at some bible college to become a youth pastor one day. but today i got to thinking. why did i pick this route. i wont list the reasons now but i came to realization. they were really crappy reasons. dont get me wrong. i love God. with all that i am, and i am so thankful for His saving grace. but i dont know if my passion is for youth anymore or if its even what i'm supposed to be doing. 

i'm still waiting for an answer from this bible college in chicago. and maybe thats how i'll know what i'm supposed to do. but i am going to consider other options

you see. i love photography. love it. quite a bit. maybe obesssed? its possibligh. i dont ask. 

so i'm looking at columbia college in chicago. and one word comes to mind. legit? yes thats the word. awesome, fantastic, exciting, sweet looking, and cool were also on that list. 

so thats my epihpany. i dont get many of these so i try to value them. but truth be told i have a lot of thinking and even more praying to do before i go anywhere. if you'd like to help with that, i would appreciate it more than i can express. 

thanks for reading.  info nugget #1 -  i have a ridiculous amount of harry potter knowledge.

thats a light bulb i took a picture of. don't worry. he's cool. 

oh the joy of personificaiton
