Adventures of Dan-O-Man

All done!

Sun, 02 May 2004 00:57:49 GMT

The "B-man" and I are doing great. I feel like this guy is the real one for me. I have never met a more giving and generous person in my life. The sacrifices he has made for me have been far beyond what any other human would do. I don't know what I have done to deserve such a wonderful person but I'm going to hang onto him.

Finals are over and now I can concentrate on my job this summer (Lifeguard) and spending more time with Bryan. I'm also so glad that the weather is getting decent. It was a long cold winter.

Hey everyone. I've been away, far away. Just got back from Japan where I was given the chance to do a small student exchange. I had a great time and learned a lot of interesting things about their culture. Pix to be up soon! Got to run now.

Blah

Thu, 04 Mar 2004 20:10:32 GMT

The weather is so blah up here and it can't make up it's mind if it wants to stay winter or move to spring. I'd be surprised if spring in on its way.

Bryan is great. He gave me a rose the other day with a poem attached to it saying that it's beauty is nothing campared to mine. I about cried!

Never thought I would get into any reality TV shows but the new Forever Eden has caught my attention. There are so many twists and secrets that it's imposible to know what they are thinking and what will happen next.

Everything else is great!

And the Oscar goes to....

Lord of the Rings....Lord of the Rings....Lord of the Rings. (as if we didn't expect it)

Been busy woth things: Bryan, school, work, work, work, and the gym. Everything is going well and the weather is getting warmer. I'm already looking forward to summer so I can strut my stuff down at the beach again! HA!

Smiling from ear to ear

Although I am very sore from having a workout at the gym with a personal trainer, I still managed to drive Bryan and I up north to a small town for dinner tonight. It was a little german restaurant that my friends were telling me about and it was in a house. We had our own room and it was candle lit. This place was so perfect, I thought that we we on the set of a movie. After we ate, we took a drive along a small river road stopping to look at the stars.

I feel in order for 2 people to really know if each other is really right for them, they need to spend a LOT of time together before they jump into things. Bryan and I tried about a year ago but that was because it was love at first site. But that wore off very quickly. We took some time apart and tried a friendship approach. Well, that friendship developed into what we are now.

High Heaven

I was returned the favor of a great date last night. Bryan took me Salsa dancing at a club in St. Paul. I had the best time even though I don't think I can dance that good. Bryan said I shake my thang good enough for him. Afterwards we went to a small coffee shop and talked for about 2 hours about life and other things. He is such a great guy. I feel so lucky!

Today I spent the better part of the day at the Mall of America with Katlyn (my twin sister). She drives me up the wall sometimes with her kooky laugh but we always have a good time. Needless to say I have seen enough dress shops to last a lifetime.

Everything's Fine

Fri, 20 Feb 2004 16:47:48 GMT

Dan-O-Man is doin alrighty. Got a rockin new stereo for my car and some new seat covers. I'm da pimp!

Bryan and I are doing great. I took him out last night for dinner and a movie then we went to a hilltop lookout area and madeout for a while. I needed that!

Thank you, for the few of you, who have been at least looking at my journal. It's always nice to meet new people.

Wed, 18 Feb 2004 23:27:48 GMT

Blah blah blah. Everything is blah. Especially the weather. More school and more work makes Johnie a psycho. Monkeys are brutal. Cheese is bitter.

I love random sentences!

My Valentine

Sat, 14 Feb 2004 17:19:45 GMT

It's Valentines Day! I'm being treated to a special dinner tonight and a romantic massage by a fire! Just another step in our relationship to bring us closer. I also have a few surprises up my sleeve for him. I just want today to be special and unobtrusive unlike yesterday, Friday the 13th.

Hope all of you have a great Valentines Day.

Thu, 12 Feb 2004 20:58:57 GMT

So I either I haven't provided you with entertaining news or you guys are dead. Why is no one posting?

Saturday is the day I have been waiting for for a long time. In all my years of Valentines Day, I haven't had a single person to cater to. I'm glad that this weekend will be different!

Weather is getting nicer for now. But this is MN so we don't expect it to last too long. Got a car today. It's nothing special but it will get me where I need to go and stuff. I can also go anywhere now without having to ask my mother to borrow her car. It feels good to be independant a little.

Bryan and I are doing good. We have taken another step in our relationship. We have decided to only see each other right now to see if there is a chance of us going foward. Without other guys in the way, this should focus my attention on what I am hoping will be a great relationship. I'm very content with seeing only him. I hust hope he holds up his end of the bargain.

Sat, 07 Feb 2004 16:02:24 GMT

Been a busy weekend so far with everything but things are going fine now. I was able to talk to the guy at the gym finaly and we are meeting for coffee on Monday night. Other than that, I haven't much more to add right now.

Busy Day

Thu, 05 Feb 2004 19:07:34 GMT

Kind of a busy day today but I thought I would try to get in a small update.

Things have been going great for now, no problems. School is getting more difficult but I expected that. I'm getting a job soon with a company my friend works for. They are looking for students to work in their IT dept for the spring! That's perfect for me!

Anyways, more later.

Very confused.

Wed, 04 Feb 2004 06:23:05 GMT

I seem to have offended a couple of people here on my journal and they took me off of their friends list. I can no longer converse with them.

I am sorry for not knowing my Minnesota counties off the back of my hand and for having similar interests as wysock84 and chugnrunumd. I have enjoyed reading your journals and still want you to post in mine. My name is Dan. I don't know why you called me someone else. I am sorry for whatever I did wrong. Is not knowing my counties grounds for being dropped as a friend?

I thought I was doing fine for my new journal. These people were among the ones who posted to me the most. I only am trying to make new friends. Please come back.

Be Grateful

Tue, 03 Feb 2004 23:41:45 GMT

I'd like take this moment to thank someone important in my life that I have seemed to overlook.

A good friend of mine who has always been there for me whenever I needed him has been trying to contact me. This is the type of person who will do anything for anyone and they just want to be a friend. I'm not sure why I tend to push him away at times and I feel awful about it now. He gave me so many things for school and took care of things for me when I asked him. He always made time for me and put my priorities first before his. He gave money to me when he had nothing. Sometimes I felt embarrassed by him because I didn't want people to think we were a couple. But now I feel horrible because I don't care what people think, he is a great friend. I guess I took advantage of him but I didn't see it. I was using him but I didn't know it. I tend to believe he was just a normal friend to me but when I really think about it, he really did a lot for me. I feel so bad now that I used him then just disappeared.

I am sorry Jay. You really have been a good friend to me even though I never told you. Thank you for your generous time, money and countless rides you have given me while I was back home and needed it. You fed me like I was your own family, you went out of your way to make sure I was emotionally fine, and you were always a phone call away when I needed you. I know you can't read this but I will be calling you. It just makes me feel better to write out my feelings here. You truly are a great friend and I apologize for not keeping you informed of things and not calling.

As for you, friends who read my pages, if you have someone in your life who has went out of their way to do anything for you such as I have, anyone who's spent time and money on you that didn't have to, anyone who you scolded because they couldn't give more than you wanted them to give, anyone who thinks the world of you that you tend to push under the rug at time, I beg you to thank that person and give a little back what they have given you. These are the type of people that there are too few of in the world. They keep giving even when there is nothing to give. They take the extra step that other friends don't. We tend to use them and push them aside. Call them, email them, talk to them. They only want to know how you are doing. It's difficult because we know they are there when things go wrong or when we need them. But when we don't need them, we tend to forget about them and don't talk to them. Take some time to think about those people in your life and make an effort to give part of yourself back to them. After all, we don't know when they might be taken away from us.

Jay, I'm calling you now.

Crunchy

Tue, 03 Feb 2004 05:16:14 GMT

Kind of a crunchy day today. Weather was not any better and my whole situation with Bryan just seems to be stuck. I want to get a point across to him that I need to take things a little further. Not sex or anything, I just mean I don't know what to really call our relationship right now. He's a friend but not really a boyfriend but he kinda is? Do you know that weird relationship too?

I hope that those of you here who read my journal can maybe help me with this one. I'm stuck and can really use some advice on how to approach him about this. He's a great guy and all but he's just not getting the picture.

Um...yeah.

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 18:34:08 GMT

Um...yeah. Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson's performance "peak" at the superbowl was something to behold. Although Justing said it was a wardrobe mishap, the evidence shows that he was clearly hipping off her costume.

Look here and tell me what you think.

Now why didn't Janet tear off Justin's pants instead?

An interesting observation

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 05:14:26 GMT

Aoccdrnig to rscheearch peulshbid by an Elingsh uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat leretts are in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit any porbemls. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe.

Kinda scary but true!

So what IS in the bag anyway?

So so

Mon, 02 Feb 2004 04:20:31 GMT

Ok. Did anyone else think the halftime show for the superbowl sucked?

Boring night, no parties or anything wild like that. this weather is depressing and cold. But groundhog day is tomorrow! Now there's a holiday we rarely celebrate. Maybe I'll make it fun somehow. Any suggestions? No drinking either.

13 days until Valentines Day and I keep thinking about it more and more. I need to keep my mind off of it though. I don't want to be depressed that day.

Oh well. Off to bed I guess I'll go.

Weird feelings

Sun, 01 Feb 2004 18:27:34 GMT

So let me tell you (if anyone at all reads this) that the reason for this journal is so that I can express my thoughts very openly. My regular friends do not have access to my journal so I don't have to worry about what I say on here. I just want to be able to post things I normally wouldn't tell any one of my friends. That's why the people who read this (you) are going to mean a lot to me. I don't know you but I'd like to hear your comments on my posts. Sort of an online shrink! He He.

So this guy at the gym yesterday was eying me. It wasn't the same guy as before but this one was very cute. I just always seem to clam up around people that sort of flirt with me. It's not that I'm uncomfortable with them doing it, it just makes me giddy or something and I don't know what to do. Maybe that's why I am single. But I can't help to think about Bryan in situations like that. Like I said, i like him but sometimes he smothers me. I guess I can't expect him to be the way I want him to be. I mean, he is his own unique person like we all are and no one can change that. So maybe I just need to see that and not expect him other ways.

It's been 2 years since I was in a decent relationship and I still have deep scars from that. Jake was a great guy and I loved him with all of my heart. But when the time came to choose between me or his ex-girlfriend, he chose her. That really hurt me bad because I knew he wanted to be with me but he was pressured to lead a "normal" life. I know it really didn't have anything to do with me but nonetheless, I was very hurt and sad for months.

I have gotten over Jake now and am looking forward to meeting the right guy for me. I don't know where I will find him but I know that one day he will be there before me.

Sore

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 22:09:23 GMT

Being sore also makes you feel tired. Something I don't need right now because the weather is gloomy enough as it is already. I hate winter. But I guess living in MN you kinda adapt to it... or are at least supposed to.

Bryan called me again today. I'm not sure what to think about him yet. He's a great guy and is very sweet, but it seems he's trying too hard for me. I want to feel like I need him too but he's always right there with something else for me or to say. Geez, I like him and all but let me chase him for once instead of the other way around. he's got the cutest eyes though.

At work, I was given the employee of the month parking spot. Not that I earned it, it's just that the guy who won it is on vacation and he wanted me to have it. Oh boy! Another guy out for my bod. That's all I need.

I want to say thank you for the friends I have already made here on this journal site. You seem to be really cool people and I love reading your journals and love it more when you comment on mine. This site gives me an outing for my mind, and I really need that right now in my life. A boyfriend would be nice too though!

What's your IQ?

Busy day.

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 07:47:31 GMT

Went to the gym today and saw a really hot guy that kept staring at me. I don't have the nerve to talk to him but I have a feeling I will be seeing him there more and more.

Work sucks, but then I'm sure everyone says that. I just hate my job and want to move into something else. Any suggestions for me?

Dana called again tonight with more news of her current boyfriend. Those two should just drop it. It's never going to work. but who am I to talk, i don't have anyone right now either. Maybe I'm better off, but I really would like someone.

New Journal

Fri, 30 Jan 2004 07:42:53 GMT

Hi everyone who is reading this for the first time. I thought I would start a journal and put my life out there for everyone to read and comment on. Read my profile before you comment though to understand me and my entries. Here's to a good journal!
