21

So I will attempt to be happy about this and not treat it as a funeral. Today I turned 21. There are no more "barriers" to break thru according to age anymore. The next one is "senior citizen". Seriously. I am no longer a teeny bopper, preteen, teenager, or non drinking age. I am officially, 100% legal in everyway possible. It happens tho. So I should be excited and continure ti live life to its fullest. I have been for the past few months, and I have never been this happy before. Hopefully it continues. I looked back at the times when I posted turning 19 and then again 20, and I remenised aobut what I thought life would be like and how life was. A lot has changed, mostly for the better. And I hope that next year when I post about me turning 22, that I am as happy as I am now. :)

Remembering Michael Jackson

Yesterday Michael Jackson died from cardiac arrest. I was just leaving my house to pick up April at around 5:00 PM when I was flipping thru the radio stations and came across one that was playing a good song. After that song completed the DJ came on and said that Michael Jackson had suffered a heart attack and was rushed to the hospital and that he hoped MJ would make a quick recovery, he then said he would play a 5 minute block of Michael Jackson songs just to "encourage" him along... send his "support" so to speak. At that moment the tone was "news like". Calm and hopeful. After that 5 minute of MJ songs completed the DJ said that Michael's condition had worsened and then started to play all MJ songs... you could tell just from the feeling in the air that the tone had changed. I started to flip thru the stations and every minute that went by, one by one they started to report the story and eventually they started to play all MJ themselves. The feeling in the air was now one of deep concern, as it was reported he was in a coma. One DJ at around 6PM stated said "I have a feeling that we will remember this day for a very long time". At around 6:30PM her words proved true. Sitting at the drive thru ATM at the bank listening to the car radio HOT 99.5 reported that TMZ was officially stating that Michael Jackson had died... then moments later Ryan Seacrest made his way onto every Top 40 radio stations nationwide LIVE, confirming Michael's death. All histeria broke out. DJ's got emotional, radio listeners calling in crying... it was unforgettable. After dropping April off shortly thereafter, I rushed to go over Christie's and I picked her up and we went to K Mart and I got some bars of soap and, well here's what I did...


I left that on all night last night driving around the entire island with Christie blasting MJ music, making sure everyone got the message. I went to work today like that as well. I woke up to every station remembering Michael Jackson. All day today on the radio, every station, all you heard was Michael. And that was fine by me. It seemed like the world was celebrating his life. Yes there was mourning... but it was mostly a celebration. It has definitely been a unique and special experience to be a part of history.

"The King of Pop" will live on forever thru his music.




UPDATE 6/27 5:15 PM: As I said yesterday, Michael will live on thru his music... and BOY was I right. Take a look at these screen shots from the iTunes store...He has seven songs in the Top 10 songs in the USA right now, including the number 1 position. Also 9 out of the Top 10 Albums are his, again claiming the number one spot there as well. On Amazon.com he claims 19 of the top 25 songs on there, as well as being the number one artist on that site and guess who is number 2... The Jackson 5! Billboard claims that Michael Jackson will break history next week, having the NUMBER ONE ALBUM in the country and likely the world. Click here for the full and intriguing story.

MICHAEL JACKSON IS DEAD

Michael Jackson has died from a heart attack at the age of 50 in Los Angeles. I am in shock. Radio is playing NOTHING but him, on every channel.

Missing My Boy, But Having Fun While He's Gone; Back To Work

So Nic has been in Florida since last Wednesday with everyone including Dan and Eric. So of course I have been missing him, but I've TRIED to keep busy while he's been gone. However I have been injured from my hand so I haven't had work... which means I have had a few days of nothing but boredom because it seems all of my friends are out of town. Anyway here are some of the things I have done while the boy is outta town...

Saturday June 20: I went over Amanda and Bethany's to hang with them and Amanda's Oklahoma boyfriend Joshua. There were a lot of people there and it was fun. Also a tornado warning was issued for us, there was a waterspout over the Bay at Love Point. Oh and take a look at Bethany's artistic sunburn!
Isn't that hilarious! Lol. Anyway the next day..

Sunday June 21: I went out with Christie and Will. We went to the movies to see "The Proposal" with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock... I LOVE HER <3. Anyway after that we went to downtown Annapolis and walked around and sat around until around 2 AM. We had a lot of fun and messed around with some drunk people too! Haha.


Monday June 22: Doctors appointment. I got electrocuted in my arm and hand to check the nerves. Then tanned. Then hung out with Nicole. We walked the mall and ran into Phil. So we walked around doing various things in the mall. And then Nicole and I went to the movies and saw "The Hangover"... that was friggin HILARIOUS!



Tuesday June 23: Doctors again. Get the all clear to go back to work on Wednesday, my nerves are bruised as well as my bone, but I can work again. I go over to Amanda and Bethany's again and hang with them and we watch "He's Just Not That Into You". Funny movie... and actually true lol. They go to Europe tomorrow the 25th.

And now we get to today. I went back to work and that went so so I guess. Nic will be home late tomorrow/early Friday... I can't wait to be able to hug and kiss him again and cuddle in bed! I'm so impatient lol. We go to San Diego next Thursday! Seven and a half days until then! AAAHHHHH!

Rainy Days

It has been so rainy! It has rained like every day for 2 months I believe. A lot of storms. A lot of rain. It's been crazy. It's like we live in a rainforest. And the ground is like marshland. And guess what? As I type this... it is raining lol. But hey, I love bad weather, so no complaints!

Tomorrow Is Baltimore Pride 2009!

So tomorrow is Baltimore Pride 2009. I am going with Paula, Eric M and a few other people. I will be Twittering from the event all day so I have added my Twitter feed to the right sidebar so you can keep up with all the happenings!

UPDATE: Now I'm not going. Rainy.

Blahhh

Blah blah blah. I'm having a very uneventful week. Since I can't work, I am not doing much. The most fun I have had was last night/this morning when everyone went to Florida. We stayed up until 3:30AM this morning, and then they left on their trip and I came home and slept in my bed for the first time in over a month lol. Oh well. My hand seems to be doing a better better. Hopefully the surgeon gives me the OK to go back to work starting Tuesday. Oh and... TWO WEEKS TIL CALIFORNIA!

My Hand; Surprise Party!

Ok so first things first... on Friday I injured my hand at work. Had to leave early and go to urgent care. They said that I did nerve damage to my hand but they wouldn't know how bad for a few days. Well it's now late Sunday night/early Monday morning and my hand is KILLING me. It sucks cuz it feels like the pain has spread to my wrist and that's not good. So yeah I'm going back to urgent care tomorrow to see whats up with that.
Now as for the surprise party... today April and Nic threw me a surprise party. I walked in the house annnnd Nic, April, Paula, Bethany, Amanda, Joshua(Amanda's boyfriend), Josh Cummins, Nicole, Courtney, Elle, Luc, Eric, Dan and Christie. If I forgot you I'm sorry, but I really appreciate it and the party was amazing... and the sinful Truth or Dare lol. It was an awesome way to end this weekend :)

A Whole Lotta Fun!

OK OK so I know that I'm not updating a lot, but it's because I'm always busy... as you know already lol. Anyway, here's just a PEEK of what I have been up to since my last post...

Nic, myself and Eric went for a walk and took some pics. Below is one of Eric and I standing by a tree, basically I'm a midget.

And below is Eric mounting...er, dismounting me. Lol. Oh the fun times. Of course we did this as a car was coming :D

Another day Elle and I went galloping thru Terrapin and took some pics.

...Yes I love nature THAT much...

I can TOTALLY pull off a Speedo if I wanted... or rolled up boxer briefs thanks to Elle, thanks to Luc lol.

And probably the best story of all is last Friday night. Nic's Graduation Party. Most of you know what happened lol. Awesome night.


So much more has happened before, in between and after these pics. But I only have time for the essentials. Last Saturday one of our friends Will got so drunk, I was up with him all night basically taking care of him until 3:30 AM... that was interesting. Haha.
Anyway, I am still looking forward to California and I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna go see Britney Spears August 30 in Philly. She's coming back to the US and I really wanna go, but don't know if I can afford it. We will see.

I LOVE DAN MCMAHON

I LOVE DAN MCMAHON

Life Is Pretty Good Right Now

So I have been spending all my time, non stop at Nic's house... and am loving every moment of it :) And I get to sleep in until 6:35 AM! Right now he is insisting to fix me breakfast in the morning, but I won't let him lol.
Anyway, today I found out my grandmothers heart acted up and was sent to the hospital. She is going to have to stay there over night. Hopefully everything is OK. My mom is in Florida for the convention/see friends. And I just dropped off the Mustang to get the top fixed... it's coming loose or something. Soooo, Nic gets to take me to work and pick me up! Yay haha. OH! And Nic and I exercised on Saturday and I am SOOOOOOO sore from it... I am walking around like a 90 year old man. Ugh. Lol. Anyway, I am doing my best to update as regularly as possible!

I Have A "New" Home; Going to California

Ok so basically for the past two weeks I have been home twice. All the other times I have been at Nic's. It's been awesome going to bed every night with my man and waking up in the morning with him by my side right before I go to work. I love it :D Right now I am the happiest I have ever been. I can't even explain it. I have been saying that a lot lately, and I mean it. Life is simply AMAZING right now and I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Ok so on that note... in July I am going to California with Nic and Bonnie for 10 days! San Diego baby! July 2-11 will be so awesome! We are going to have a blast :D

April Just Said This About Me On Her Blog <3

"MIC: Oh Boy?! where do I even begin…he is the CRAZIEST person I’ve ever met but in a totally good way! He is spunky, happy, smart, loving, dependable, peppy and energetic to say the least. There is no way you can ever be sad around him…he’s my natural anti-depressant :) )))). I’ve known him for a little over two years. We met for the first time at Bank Of America (boo!!!) and it was this instant friendship that was SOOO effortless, it was like we had been friends for YEARS. I really have no clue where I’d be without him and quite frankly I don’t plan on ever finding out lol. Through him I have met a new group of friends that I honestly love just as much. One of my favorite things about him is the fact he’s multi-faceted, meaning that I get both a “typical” male perspective as well as a female best friends perspective all rolled into one person….which trust me, it saves alot of cell phone minutes!!! I am SOOOO proud of him as well because he has come such a long way in such a short time and I know that some of the decisions he’s made have not been easy. I truly believe that the choices he’s made were the right ones for him and he’s wise beyond his almost 21 years because he knows what he wants, that more than I can say for alot of people his age. I LOVE YOU MICHOLAS my bestie from another testie."

OK Here It Is... FINALLY

Ok so here it is finally. I know I said that it is going to be a big update, but not too too big. I've decided to keep it kinda simple and to the point, so here it goes...

I am dating Nic, the most amazing guy out there, of course lol. I have been doing a lot of things the past few weeks. A lot of fun things! I'm not really going to delve into all of that right now... if ya wanna know just ask. However today I am supposed to be going to the mall with Nic and Olivia, we will see if that happens. And then later Nic, myself, Eric and Dan are going kayaking in the Bay. Yay! I am sick. I have a sore throat, congestion, had body aches and headache... but now just the throat and drainage. Anyway I have nothing else to really say. Oh yeah last weekend I fell playing basketball lol. Scraped my arm really bad and hurt my right ankle and side (thanks Nic). :P OK I'm done now lol. I will end this post with a pic of me and my boyfriend :D

About That...

Yeah it's still coming, just been very busy and now I'm sick :(

Website Crash and Big Update Coming Soon

Sorry about the site being down. I was notified last week it wasn't working. It was down all weekend but as you can see it's up again! :D

OK there is something very big and important I will detail later. I'm excited to tell everyone :)

Man... My Life Friggin ROCKS! :D

Ok so my last update was Saturday. Plans kinda changed since then lol. On Saturday I hung out with Nic, and then he and I went to Courtney's house where she and Nicole were there. Then we went to the park in Bay City and played lol. Here are two pics of Mr. Thibodeau, er, playing lol.


Then after this we went to Rita's where I proceeded to drop chocolate ice all over my yellow and white polo. Ugh. Lol. Then we went back to Courtney's and watched a scary movie. And then we had pizza. And then we went to Nic's where Eric, Dan, Christie, Elle, and Luc joined us. We played Twister and just goofed off in general. Everyone left except me... I stayed behind until like 1230 AM playing video games and talking to Nic.

SUNDAY- Well on Sunday, I was expecting a total chill day. That didn't happen... and BOY am I glad :D I was talking to Nic and we decided to hang. So I went to his house and we went to the mall. And long story short... I added a member to my family. I got a Sugar Bear or "Sugar Glider". For more info on these amazing little loving creatures go to www.sugarbears.com. She is about 9 weeks old and is so cute. I decided to name her Sydney. Here is a picture of her...

... Then after getting her and having my mom come and get her and take her home, I went to dinner with Nic and his family :)

MONDAY- Well let's see. Monday I went to work, I came home and was texting who else?... NIC! Lol. Well basically we decided to go to Rita's, then he played a prank on his mom by putting a dead bird in her room lol. And a long story short, from 6-1030PM we just did random stuff around the house, then from 1030PM to Midnight we went for a walk in the rain and talked a lot. I have to say that that was one of the most enjoyable nights I have had in a long time :) Then I came home and went to bed.

TUESDAY- Again long story short, worked, went to a choir thing at KIHS where EVERYONE was there, went to Rita's with Olivia, Bethany and Nic. Dropped Bethany and Olivia off at their houses and then Nic and I talked for two hours in the K Mart parking lot. That too was very enjoyable :).

WEDNESDAY (today)- I worked and now I am "bonding" with Sydney in a pouch around my neck :)

Wednesday-Now

Ok here's to catch you up on whats been happening in my life... as usual lol. On Monday, I believe I did nothing and stayed home... I THINK. On Tuesday it was Cinco de Mayo! Arribaaa!








On Wednesday I went over Olivia's house and later Nic and John and Elle came over as well. We played some video games and then John and Elle left to go watch a dance rehearsal and Olivia, myself and Nic stayed back and continued to play video games. Then a sudden downpour came... like a friggin monsoon, and Olivia looked outside and saw that there was bird just sitting in the parking lot getting poured on. Long story short, we all ran out and got SOAKED in the rain (which didn't end for an hour, therefore everything flooded) and tried rescuing the bird. Finally Olivia picked it up with two towels and we brought it up on the porch. Then we watched it for a little bit and then we all stripped down and put our clothes in the drier and Nic and I ran around the house in other peoples clothes while ours dried and continued to play video games lol. Here are some pictures of the bird situation.






On Thursday I think I just came home... yeah I did cuz all week I've been waking up at 3AM and not getting sleep, so I came home and went to bed at like 8:30!
And then on Friday I went to "Town" a club in DC with April... and OMG... it was AMAZING!




And today Saturday I'm gonna shower and stuff and later hang with Nic and then Olivia is gonna join us and we are gonna have a good night together. :) Sunday I have no plans yet.

Britney Scared To Death On Stage

A crazy fan ran and jumped on stage and scared the living daylights out of poor Britney. Her face is priceless. Here is the event from every angle imaginable lol.

Today Has Been Blah

So today has been very blah. Like extremely. I have done nothing. I was considering going to see Nic at work (Dunkin Donuts), but considering its 8PM and I work tomorrow... I might not be going to see him after all :/ Anyway, the weather has sucked today. Wet, gray, dark and gloomy. And chilly. I'm ready for the hot and humid stuff baby! Woohoo! Lol.
