Welcome back into the wild

Well, I just got back home from a great party with some of my home-boy friends. They had a good throw down up in Boone, NC with a bunch of people I hadn’t met before.

I randomly ran into Brandon and Scuff at Ingles in Boone! How weird is that!? I mean, Brandon’s always in Boone, but the fact that I just randomly went to Boone and saw him there..that’s funny!

Adam stayed at the party since it was pretty much for him, but Will went with me to grab some more party “materials”. ;) You know…cup-cakes, sodas, candles, balloons…lol, just kidding. The “other” party items. :P

It was really interesting to hangout with them again! It brought back some memories from childhood..which is always cool.

I mean, once you go off to college, you lose touch with your best friends from home and make new friends. I can’t say that I like either group of my friends more than the other, because that would be a lie..but wow..isn’t it great to catch-up with old friends again!

We just played some pong, a little sequence (the board game..only modified for the party mood), talked on a balcony, walked up a deserted road and downed a few bottles and basically just had an all around great time!

It’s sad that when you move off to college you have to leave them behind and start all over, but at least I know now that good friends are friends for life. We just connected again almost like we hadn’t been a day apart!

Sometimes you hangout with friends again and have nothing to do or talk about, but wow…that was probably the best time I’ve had with them yet.

It was great to catch-up with Will and talk to him about what’s going on in his world and what’s going on in my world. You know, just the basic definition of catching up.

When I first called up Will last night, he was like “Kyle??….Kyle Baker??? Holy crap man! I can’t believe it’s you! What the heck are you getting into tonight!?” Straight from long time no see to what’s taking you so long to join us and party?!

It was like a re-bonding experience. Fantastic!

Then later, Adam and I sat up until like 5:30 am playing Halo 3 on his xBox 360. I pretty much got pwn’d every round, but it was cool.

We sat up talking about all kinds of cool stuff. He told me about how a long time ago when we were kids he came over to my house and we sat down at my families piano and I showed him how to play this piano part while I played to other half of it.

It was just cool to listen to him tell me about a memory like that. Honestly, I didn’t recall any of it..but it made me feel awesome to know that I made a cool memory with one of my friends so very long ago..even if I didn’t remember it.

I feel like I remember so many little things that I did with my friends that they probably don’t remember and those little things were the best times of my childhood.

Anyhoo, I’ve got to get some sleep now. More partying and socializing is in the works for later this evening!

While I sleep, I hope Jasmine is regaining her “health” (feeling a little sick while in Peru) so she can go on the Inca trail!

I hope everyone is having a blast as well. You only get one summer per year. ;) Use it wisely. :P

Well, it’s been a typical Friday

Except for the fact that I got my stitches removed today! All ~40 of them. :P They just put tape on the scar for now, as extra support to make sure it doesn’t open up (boy that’d be bad).

I’d upload a photo or two, but Jasmine has my digital camera while she’s in Peru. She’s got to get up at 5 am in the morning (Saturday) to go on the Inca trail. They’re one hour behind us there, so that means it will be 6 am here. ;)

She seems to be enjoying her stay there…when she’s not feeling sick from some of the food.

In other news, Google changed their favicon today (or was it yesterday evening?). Well, I personally don’t care much for the new favicon. It’s a lowercase “g” instead of being uppercase.

Jasmine’s in Peru

Well, Jasmine has gone on a trip to Peru! She left yesterday around lunch time, but I’m not sure what time they arrived. I haven’t heard back from her just yet.

I told her she should keep a pretty complete journal of her trip, cause I went to Bolivia once a long time ago and only wish I had kept a better journal. :( Ah well, I still remember a lot of my trip. I was just so young when I went that I’m sure it would be fun to see what I wrote about. :D

I setup an account here so Jasmine can blog here about her trip while she’s there if she wants, so you might see some posts rolling in from here. That should be fun to read. I also setup a blog for here at http://jasminebaker.wordpress.com/ thinking she might rather blog there, so I’m just waiting for a reply email to see which she chooses.

Anyway, Jasmine..I love you and hope you have a wonderful trip!

College Years - Ending another semester

So I’ll be here at NC State until Monday, just finishing up some things. This semester has flown by so fast! I hope I can relax this weekend and get some time to myself, but everyday’s been busy for me lately with planned things and unplanned things.

I guess the one word that I chose to describe myself in my “Self-Imaging” post really is true, haha. Story of my life..being unscheduled.

Well, I added a forum to the blog so if you just want to chat with me you can. You can continually find the link in the column to the right. It is labeled “bbPress Forum“, which is also made by the same team that works on WordPress. They tied in nicely together, but it did take a bit of hacking and customization to get the appearances to match. I didn’t want it to seem like a completely different site, so I had to work on the style sheet and header a bit.

For now, you should check out the bbPress Forum and bookmark it! I’m planning to using it like a general chat, off-topic, whatever kind of board just for friends and visitors to talk in general with me. Hope you enjoy it!

I’m working on fitting a Photo Gallery in, but that will be just a little bit before it goes live. ;)

Hope everyone’s exams are going well! Good luck! I’m off to grab Jasmine a Red Bull before her exam..

Happy 21st Birthday Jasmine!

kyle and jasmineJasmine!

Happy 21st birthday baby! I love you. I hope this birthday is everything that you expected it to be, because it’s a very important one!

I hope I can get plenty of pictures when we take you out. ;) JB, lol. This makes the fifth birthday of yours that we’ve spent together. Doesn’t that just thrill you!?!? Anywho…I want you to live this special time up.

I’ll post a couple good pictures on here after I’ve taken some and get them uploaded.
