Sorry it's been so long

Ya, I forgot about this for a little bit, sorry. So, tommorow is Riverfest....what the hell is up with bringing in these bad country music acts. I mean cross CANADIAN ragWEED??? first off...this is Texas, not canada, and come on bring in some better rock music acts. Oh well, thats my whinign about that. If you can't tell, I won't be going to this free crap concert tommorow in the park.

So these past couple of weeks have been fun. I actually hang out with co-workers after work...thats the first time at a job I hang out with ppl from work. Its been fun. Last monday, a couple of us climbed up to the top of that huge white tower at Aquarena Springs. Its about 220 feet to the top, and from the top you could see Austin, San Antonio, and we thought we might have been able to see Houston lights from up there. It was real tiring climbing up to the top, but it was totally awesome. We have also been going out to eat alot, and that has been fun.
Also, I have just been working alot, which is still fun, except when ppl freak out and stress over nothing, and that makes everyone else freak out. That is when its not fun. So, besides that my job is still pretty great.
Last friday, the 15th, was not that great of a day, starts off with trying to do my schedule for next year, having to deal with the stupid ass art department, and all their bull crap, but I finally got a schedule made up, its pretty pointless, there are hardly any classes that i need to take, but need to take some hours, so I gotta take something. Then, after that, I go to JCK to get my payckeck, and the accountant at Aquarena Springs messed up really bad on my paycheck, so instead of getting paid for over 60 hours, which would be about $350 ish, i got paid for about 16 hours or $80. I was counting on all that money, so now I have to wait until May 1st to get teh rest of the money. One of the many bad things about this is that, now I have no money to spend, plus I was gonna send off money that day for my speeding ticket I got over x-mas, and the money was due on the 15th, so now I think I have a warrent out for my arrest, so, I gotta be good and not talk to the police for a couple weeks, until May 1st, when I can send in the rest of the $60 that I owe. Oh well, that is over and done with, hopefully things will cheer up, last night I talked to my longest-bestest friend in the world, Michael May, who goes to the Air Force Academy, and I haven't seen him in a year or so, and we were talking about him coming up here this summer to go tubing and fishing, so Michael.....you have to come up here at some point while you are home this summer. YOu have toooooo........
Well, I am tired of typing, and of being awake, I got 4 hours last night, and had to work all day, I am off to bed soon. Night Night......

Until next time, I am Austin Dykes, you stay classy blog readers...........

i suck at making titles....no wonder I got kicked off headline writing in high school newspaper

So, I am still kinda in that mood, but much better. Today was an awesome day. I spent all morning scuba diving in the San Marcos River, to clean up trash, spent some hours there talkign to ppl, eating some great BBQ, and whatnot. From there, I went out to work, Aquarena Springs/Center, not to work, but get certified to dive in the lake, you have to show that you have special skills to dive there. Most ppl have to go through the class on a weekend, and swim through some hoops and obstacles in the old show area, but Ethan took AJ and me out to the southern part of the lake, since some other ppl were in the show area. So we went and looked at some springs that I have never seen before, since we don't go over those on the boat tours. After that, he took us to Deep Hole, which is the deepest part of the lake, and it was SPECTACULAR, it was soooooo B-E-A-UTIFUL spring, it looked sooo much different down there from up on the boats, and I just couldn't believe it, God is soo amazing to create something soo awsome, along with you and the earth.....
So, then we went and looked at some other things, while a tour boat drove over us, and looking up 15 feet to the bottom of the glass bottom boats, and seeing the guest inside them looking down at you, that was quite a site, it was really cool, I can't wait til I get a little better, adn take my underwater camera out there so I can take pictures of everything. Then we left, and Ethan, the lake manager, not Otha, was like ok, that didn't happen, we stayed outta the boats way, and didn't go to deep hole, because only a few people are allowed to go to Deep Hole, so that was cool that he let us do that. I can;t wait to go look at all the other springs.
So then I went home, and went to Jones with: Mar Mar, Sandy, DJ, Derek, Jessie, Anna, Denise, Josh B, Dan, and Joey, then we went and watched I Heart Huckabees, which is very weird, but its good. Before that, we watched Megan Helmey get a ticket right outside of DJ"s apartment, but we were out there smoking our pipes, and DJ had bought these little cheap chocolate cigarillos, which tasted really bad, but I decided to try smoking alot at once, like on the movies, so I had 7 or 8 of them going at once, and I was tearing up from accidentally inhaling them, so prolly no more of that.
After that I made a quick $25 bucks for some guy I met yesterday while I was setting up for his daughters wedding at work yesterday, so he paid me and DJ each $25 to pick up trash and stuff for about an hour. It was sweet. Easy money, now I can get an oil change, or my inspection done, which expired in March. Well, I am off to bed. Peace
