Hey guys, I'm leaving out of town, probably tomorrow, and I'll be back Sunday. I need to desperately get the hell out of here. LOL I need a break away from home. Anyway, we're taking the RV and heading north. Can't wait! And the weather is supposed to be pretty damn nice here in WA too. It's been awesome here the past week or so. Can't complain!

Anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July! =) Hope all is well with you!

~Snyder~

Hey, just a really quick blog. I'm so excited! Tomorrow, well technically today I'm going to the Seattle Sounders FC (for those of you that don't know, FC = Football Club i.e. Soccer) game tomorrow!

Ahh, I'm so excited! *Jumps up and down* LOL I'm going to have to take hella pics! Can't wait! This is SSFC's first year and they're doing so well! Random fact, Drew Carey (sp?) is part owner of our team. If you watch Price Is Right you may have seen him mention it before.

Anyway, that's what I'll be doing tomorrow! Hope all is well with you guys.

~Snyder~

Ok, so first off, about Twitter. I tried to search myself under my name and I still didn't show up on there. Hmm... *Curses under breath* So new idea! Try this: http://twitter.com/S_Snyder86 If that doesn't work then I give up!

So, new pic really quickly...

And one more...

Yeah, both of these pics are of me! Me, me, me! LOL Like my new Mohawk I got for my helmet? =)

~Snyder~

So, maybe two weeks ago I was looking for The Nanny vids uploaded online. I saw someone mention the site fanpop.com, so I decided to check it out. Lord! I almost, and I said almost wish I didn't. I'm so f*cking addicted to that site it's not even funny. Ugh! There's more to it than just vids. You can create quizzes, picks, etc., for any and I do mean any category. It's actually pretty awesome. You can quiz people on their knowledge, etc. It's funny how many people lack knowledge. I personally love to create quiz questions. You can get points and whatnot and it keeps track of what you create. LOL Even better, it keeps track of the percentage of how many people get each and every question right/wrong, etc. I've mostly created some X-Files questions (very fun) as well as a few questions about the Presidents of the United States, The Nanny, and, my favorite, the random spot. LOL Anyone a member of this website? If you wanna look me up my member name is OuroborosSnyder (how original).

So, the other website I'm sure you've all heard about. Lord knows it's been all over the news! Twitter! Yeah, I Tweet! =) *Tries to sound like a bird* Anyhoo, I heard about Twitter months and months ago but didn't want to bother with it (I'm on too many websites as it is). About 3 days ago now I decided to check it out. Yeah, completely obsessed with that as well. It's actually pretty damn convenient. I like how you can get updates on whatever you want to follow 24/7, and, of course, I have all my updates sent automatically to my phone. Awesome, no? Addicting? Yes! So, does anyone Twitter here? I actually used my real name for searching purposes but my little username do-dad is S_Snyder86. So original. =)

Anyway, hope all is well. Just thought I'd update you on my boring, yet very addictive-personality-like life (does that even makes sense). *Shrugs*

~Snyder~

So, the grades are finally in! So...the verdict:

LAJ 327 Community Corrections = A

LAJ 342 Juvenile Justice Process = A

PSY 476 Psychopharmacology = A

= All A's! 4.0...Yay!

I'm happy. I'm very picky about my grades to begin with, so if I get a B, I gointo a spiraling depression. LOL Kind of sad, huh? So I start school soon. Ahh. Start June 22nd and go until August 17th I believe. 2 more psych c-lasses. Hmm. So I'm leaving out of town tomorrow but I'll be back Wednesday night more than likely. Just a short break to Anderson Island.

Hope all is well with you guys. =)

~Snyder~

Oh lord! I seriously need to get a life...perhaps a hobby...something! Well, I've posted similar blogs like this one before; when will I ever learn? *Sighs* Yes, I'm hooked on yet another show. The only good thing about this one is that it's over so only re-runs for me! Guess what show? On my new fanfic story I gave them a hint, but I'll just tell you guys. =)

The Nanny. Yeah, not kidding either. First off, OMFG! *Fans self* For those of you that have actually seen the show, wow! Maxwell Sheffield (Charles Shaughnessy) is so hot! *Faints* I love his accent, too! So...hmm! As for the show, I started watching it on Nick@Nite. About 2 weeks ago I bought season 1, 2, and 3 (that's all that's currently out). I'm hooked. Yes, I ship Mr. Sheffield and Ms. Fine! (No surprise there). LOL

Anyhoo, lets see. I'm in Finals week now. Tomorrow is my last final and then the quarters over! Of course I decided to take summer c-lasses so I start back up June 22nd. Not a very long break, huh? *Sighs* Oh well! I'll let you know how I did (grades wise) when they're in. Until then, hope all is well!

~Snyder~

Hey guys. So how is everyone? I really don't hear from many of you anymore. That makes me sad. =/

Well, lets see...I got all A's on my mid-terms I just took last week. I was relieved about that. *Sighs contently* LOL. Schools going well and, in fact, I just registered for summer c-lasses. LOL We'll see how that goes. Only two psych c-lasses, so I'm not worried. I'm usually out of town a lot of the summer, so I'll just have to work around it. LOL

What else? Well, I could go on about my two favorite shows, but I'll digress even before I start! LOL I miss House, can't wait for it to start again. As for LOCI, still watching! Tonight's episode was awesome...but, please! I hope to god that's not Bobby's daughter! Ok, now I'll digress! LOL

You know what I find myself doing every night for the past several weeks? Popping in a episode or two of The X-Files. IDK why but I just recently got re-obsessed with it. Is that possible? I was a huge addict when it was on and I have all the seasons on DVD. IDK what it was but something made me start watching them all from the beginning again. *Shrugs* Anyone out there still watch it?

So, lets see. Ahh, a pic of me. This was taken in February. I have a few recent pics from March or so, but I haven't uploaded them yet to photobucket and besides, I'm drunk in them. LOL So that's no fun. So, for now this will have to do. It was taken at my aunts house when I was house-sitting. =) Do I look bored?

Actually, now that I remember correctly, I took this pic because I had just gotten my hair re-done the previous day. LOL

Anyway, just thought I'd update ya with a newer pic of me. =) Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know I did. The weather was amazing here! In the 80s isn't bad for Washington!

Take Care.

~Snyder~

HAZE

My room is a haze,
my eyes deathly foggy,
where am I?
god, I'm still so groggy.

The air is chilled,
the lights so dull,
as I step out of my room,
and into the hall.

The floor creaks,
I instantly gaze down,
bewildered at the silence,
I hesitantly frown.

I then hear a noise,
it came from outside,
a hollow cry
that came from worldwide.

I walk to the window,
and place my hand on the cool glass,
I glance outside
The fear I surpass.

Unknowingly I hear a click,
and find my hand unlocking the door,
as I step outside into the brisk air,
What I once heard is no more.

The world has gone silent,
I realize I am alone,
everything else that mattered,
is now postponed.

I am free from it all,
I realize on my own,
as I gently push away a strand of hair,
and walk back into my home.

~Snyder~

Ok guys, so I know most of you have heard, read, seen promos vids and pics for this episode. So, what do you think? Are they gonna finally do it? By the looks of the promo on the Fox website, it looks like it!

So f*cking happy! My life has been seriously hell the past week, but, sh*t, this may help. Sad, I know, but I need a Distraction and this and LOCI must be it. Ha ha, funny. I wonder if that's why the episode "Distraction" from...sh*t, season 2 I think, is one of my favorite episodes. Its season 1 or 2. *Shrugs*

Whats your guys thoughts about this? Looking forward to it? Huddy fans?!?! I know I am! Anyway, just a quick blog right now...

~Snyder~

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been on much lately. Been bust with school and whatnot; still trying to recover from surgery too. *Sighs*

Anyway, *rubs hands together* So, who saw last weeks House MD episode? I stopped reading the spoilers a long time ago so I didn't know anything about it. I'm in c-lass Monday and Wednesday nights so I have to record the episodes and didn't watch it until a day or so after. my mom was leaving for work and she told me she heard it on the radio about one of the team-members committing suicide so I had to watch it then. LOL Anyway, wow. What do ya all think? Any thoughts? God, I hope Cameron doesn't come back to the team. *Crosses fingers* Tonight's episode sounds interesting though. The preview look good. =)

And, ah yes! LOCI finally comes back on this weekend. I can;t wait for it! As I've been telling a few of my online buddies, I'm kinda nervous about it all though. For one thing, I'm not a fan of Jeff Goldbloom (sp?) joing the cast. *Shrugs* As much as I didn't really like Logan, I'd rather have him than Jeff. *Bites nails* I just hope I'm not disappointed this season. I'm nervous that, as someone told me, they're going to go "back to basics." They can't possibly ignore all that happened in season 7 though. I mean, come on! The previews for this show look hella good though. Something about Goren getting personal yet again! *Sits and waits for it to come on* So, who's gonna watch it?

Photo taken 2/8/09

And, of course, Eames, Ross and Goren.

~Snyder~

Hey guys! *Waves* So, obviously I'm still trying to recover here. *Sad puppy dog look* I've been in a lot of pain lately so I've hardly been on my lap top. =( Anyway, just thought I'd post a quick blog. This was a joke called: "Divorce Barbie" streaming through peoples' emails at my moms work. LOL Hope all is well with you guys. =)

~Snyder~

One day a father gets out of work and on his way home
he suddenly remembers his daughter's Christmas gift. He stops by a Toy Shop and asks the sales person, 'How much for one of those Barbies in the display window ?

The salesperson answers, 'Which one do you mean Sir?
We have: Work Out Barbie for $19.95,
Shopping Barbie for $19.95,
Beach Barbie for $19.95,
Disco Barbie for $19.95
Ballerina Barbie for $19.95,
Astronaut Barbie for 19.95,
Skater Barbie for $19.95, .

And finally Divorced Barbie for $265.95

The amazed father asks: 'It's what?! Why is
the Divorced Barbie $265.95 and the others only $19.95?'


The annoyed salesperson rolls her eyes, sighs, and
answers, 'Sir, Divorced Barbie comes with: Ken's Car, Ken's House, Ken's Boat, Ken's Furniture, Ken's Computer, one of Ken's Friends and a key chain made with Ken's balls.'

Hey guys! Wow, another blog so soon! So, lets see...this quarter is almost over...thank god! I need a break =) Last night I took my online final and tonight at 8PM is my last final. So yay! *Does happy dance*

What else, ah yes, I have surgery on my ankle this Friday, the 20th. In other words, be patient with me. LOL I'll be "stoned" the first day or so, but I'll be bored the rest, so I'll be on the computer a lot (yeah, probably more than normal). *Snorts* I posted a new LOCI fic last Saturday, so this will give me time to work on that as well.

Anyway, wish me luck! A picture to end this blog; I find it funny. LOL Hopefully this isn't true about my surgery. I would say to myself, "Break a leg" but I'm not so sure since they're working on my ankle to begin with. LMAO.

~Snyder~

This Can't End Well...

s

Hey guys, wow, it's been almost 2 months since I posted. My bad!

So, a lot has been going on since then. *Holds head down in shame* So about a week ago now I went for an MRI on my ankle and a contrast MRI (injected dye into the joint) on my shoulder. I went to see the surgeon today and it turns out I need surgery on both. I thought about doing them at the same time, but I decided against it. So, in two week, I'm having surgery on my ankle. It's during my spring break. Oh joy! And then I'll be on crutches for 2 weeks or so and then possibly a cane after. I swear, if I need a cane, I'm buying the one like on House (The flame one). The sh*tty part is that it's my right foot, so I can't drive to school. Grr! I have a meeting with my teacher tomorrow about it since I have 2 of his c-lasses next quarter. *Sighs* These two problems have been going o all my life and I've had to live through the pain too damn long, so I'm just anxious to get them done now. Oh, did I mention it was my tendons that are f*cked up? LOL They said they can do it via orthoscopic on my shoulder, but since my ankle's so messed up, the have to cut me open for that. So we shall see.

Anyway, just thought I'd update ya! How are you all? I miss talkin' to ya...I've been so busy. I DO make time to watch House still though =)

~Snyder~

Wow, hey guys. It's been a while...what, like a month? I hardly ever come on here. If I do, it's usually to check the LOCI episode guide really quick (and compare them to the usanetwork schedule).

Anyhoo, how are you all? Hope all is well. Me? I've been so damn bust with school. This quarter is killing me and I'm only taking 2 c-lasses! My online c-lass(this is the first time I've ever takin' an online c-lass, is insane! We have so much homework; worksheets, online blog posts we have to do, etc. *Sighs* It consumes most of my time, I must say.

So, lets see...what else is new with me...Oh! So I bought this book (actually 2 books) at Boarders. Wanna know what it is? Well here's a pic of it:

Awesome right? I saw this House book and just HAD to have it!!! Unfortunately, due to homework, I haven't even opened it yet. =( But it makes a nice collectors item by all my other stuff. =)

I also bought and actually started reading a book called "On Death and Dying." I'm sure most of you are familiar with this (or maybe not). Maybe this'll help. It deals with the 5 stages of dying (or loss, grief, etc). Anyway, I started reading it (It's by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross). Unfortunately, I stopped reading that as well due to how much reading I have to do with my c-lasses.

So...another thing i bought (oh yeah, all this is with my Christmas money). Anyway, like I was saying, something else I saw and just HAD to have is:

I LOVE this Ed Hardy pic/poster/whatever you want to call it. I love this saying, "Love Kills Slowly." So true... *Sighs* Anyway, it's a little less than a foot tall maybe. I'm gonna hang it on my wall as soon as I get done painting it. LOL

So what did ya all get for Christmas? Gosh, I just realized I haven't even talked to anyone since Christmas on here. I got a bunch of stuff but I can't show ya until its installed. I guess I could take pics of the boxes, but how boring, right? It's a new stereo system for my car. It's like a TV, a double-den with iPod adapter, navigation, bluetooth, touch screen, plays movies, pics, etc. I'm so excited. I think I'm gonna buy a small Play-station or something to hook up to it so my friends can play games while I'm driving. I also got new component speakers, a Rockford Fosgate amp, and new sub-woofers. It'll be a bit before I get it installed (IDK why, but I'm stalling). I need to make an appointment. I got a few estimates and it'll be around 450 bucks to install. Lame, right? At least I don't have to pay for that sh*t. My dads cool about it. He was like, "I'm tired of your stereo in your car, so here." LMAO. I'm excited. I'll take pics once its done. =)

As for our house, it's still not done...that's why I have posted any new pics of it. I mean it's a lot further than the last pics I posted, but still not there.

Anyway, I better shut up and get to my homework. Hope all is well with you...

~Snyder~

Ok, so sorry about my last blog. It's true, I probably won't blog like I used to on here, I even blocked everyone from seeing my blog, but that is now all un-done. I guess I should explain myself right for any of you out there that care...but first, I think it was Tuck's blog (maybe the first pic with the guys Christmas lights in one giant ball) that did it for me. So:

I do not do well at this time of year. In fact, I HATE this time of year. More closely, I really don't like Christmas like I used to as a kid. Ever since 1995, it's been filled with tears of pain instead of tears of joy. On December 23rd, 1995 my Grandma died. I was very close to her. In some respects, closer than I was to my parents at that time. Christmas was her favorite Holiday. It was mine too, until that year. I always try to make it better, just so she has a reason to smile up there, and last year, I did. Of course, I was in Hawaii on a beach for Christmas, so it helped. This year, all that pain is coming back again. It always does. I won't deny that I didn't think about her last year. In fact, I was in line at one of the ABC stores in Hawaii on December 23rd and a guy standing in line behind me said, "Nice tattoo." Nothing too complex. I knew why he said it (Mind you, I had a swimsuit on, it was warm out, so not shirt), but it was on that day. Anyway, one of the tattoos on my back is a large cross with her birthday and the year she passed away, her name and a few other things on it. I think that got me through it. The man never even knew what he did. It was only a few words, but it helped. Weird, right? My dad didn't realize it until after I explained it to him.

At any rate, Christmas has never been the same without her. She was my Grandma on my dads side of the family and I can see the tears of sorrow every year, especially in my cousins eyes. It's hard, I won't lie. One of the hardest things I've had to go through. I hate it. But mostly, I miss her. I miss the joy on her face, because truth is, it brought all of us joy. See, I'm even crying while writing this. I knew, I just knew I couldn't get through a damn blog, this blog, without crying.

Anyway, I decided I better make the best of it. I need to move on, or at least try. I know I'll never forget her, but I also know that she wouldn't want me to be upset like I am; especially during these times.

Today (well, a few days ago), I went out and took pics of our Christmas lights on our house. It started snowing the 12th, on Friday, but since yesterday, we've got a lot more.

Well, here are some pictures to share with you. I took so many I'm just not sure which ones to share...

My driveway and house.

A little different view of some of the top lights. Notice a difference in the upper windows? *Snorts* Damn contractor still didn't get all of our new windows in! Only the very right one.

My dog, Polo, hiding under the tree. The black Pug is Bindi. =)

Bindi in her Christmas sweater =)

Little brat again in the snow out on the deck.

Pic of the lake frozen over. This was before all the snow we got yesterday and...well, now. LOL

Still before the snow storm =) But a cool pic of the lake and houses across the lake.

And last but not least, some fresh powder. And it's even snowing!

Well, I better stop posting pics. I don't even know if all these will fit in this blog. If you like, I can post more of these kinds of pics later...

Anyway, take care.

Hope you all have a Happy Holidays.

~Snyder~

Ok, so not really sure if you guys care or not, but I'm done blogging on this site. I don't really talk to anyone on here anyway, so what's the point? Does anyone actually read the crap I write? Probably not.

Yeah, I know a lot of people say to do it for yourself, not other people. Well, on here I don't blog for myself. Actually, I don't blog for myself on any site. If I want to write my feelings or something down, I do it on paper, journal/diary, type it up, etc.

At any rate, I don't talk to the amount of people I used to on here *Sad look*, so what's the point really? *Shrugs shoulders* The only thing I'll really do on here now is go on a few of my favorite forums to review episodes and maybe post about an episode, but that's about it. PM me if you feel the need, but some of you already know that myspace is the best way to talk to me.

Anyway, until next time.

~Snyder~

Hey guys! Wow, I haven't been on here in weeks. I'm sorry. =( I shall try to get on more, but lately I've been...busy I guess.

So, a couple quick updates:

I think I'll begin with Fanfiction. So, I just finished, yesterday, my first LOCI fanfic I started (I posted 2 more during the process of finishing this one). It's titled "Downfall and Release" and is, of course, a BA fic. It ended up being a little over 80,000 words and 35 chapters. I was keeping an update on here every time I posted a chapter, but obviously quit doing that. =/ Anyways, here is the link if you're interested in reading it one night (or morning depending on the person). LOL Warning: 4 chapters, 30, 31, 32 and 33 are rated M.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4122784/1/Downfall_and_Release

and I'll also give you the link to my other stories if you're curious about them as well. Actually, my profile link is: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1218564/OuroborosSnyder and if you scroll down to the bottom, as I'm sure most of you already know, the authored fics are posted at the bottom.

Ok, so enough about fanfic. =) How was everyones Thanksgiving? Mine went pretty well actually. It was relaxing and yet, very fun. Filled with drinking wine (though I'm not a fan of wine) and story telling. LOL My cousin (she's 26) brought her new boyfriend over (we had it at my aunts house, he moms house) and boy, was that fun! Poor fella. I'm surprised he's not running for the hills yet. =)

Anyways, House remodel (and not the show, House). LOL It's coming along...still! LOL Hopefully our contractor will be here tomorrow to work on it some more. *Sighs* Christmas is at our house (for my moms side of the family) so we need to get this sh*t done! LOL =) I was going to post some pics, but the house is a mess now, so too bad! LOL You can wait a little longer. I just can't wait for it to be done. My room looks awesome. not sure if I told you or not but I persuaded my parents to let me tear up the carpet in my room and run the hardwood floor into my room. Yay! I love it and surprisingly enough, it's not cold either. Of course, when I sleep, I like the room to be cold so it wouldn't bother me either way. =) So yeah, the carpet in the loft went in...I did tell you we put a loft in, right? LOL I can't remember. It's been a while since I've updated on it. Anyways, carpets in and I took out part of the desk in the office (its a huge desk for my moms drafting blue print do-dads) and brought it up here *Moves hands in no particular order). So yeah, then a few weeks ago we went out and bought a new home computer...which I am on right now. I actually like being on a lap top better. For one thing, I type like a retard when I'm on a normal comp. I'm afraid to see how many errors are going to be in this little paragraph alone, but I'm sure if there are, Tuck will find them! LOL Anyways, that and I like to sit in the privacy of my own room, on my bed and browse or write by myself. Get it? Sort of? LOL

So yeah...there was a few other things I wanted to say, but I'm kind of spacing now. So, I guess this is as good of a time as any to wrap it up. LOL I think I shall post a few pics, I think of my animals, to end. Tuck, I'm still working on getting pics of all my cats. The one just won't hold still! LOL

Change of plans. LOL So, this is a pic of Michelle (on the left) and me on the right. LOL Drinking an AMF (Adios Mother F*cker). This was a little over a month ago. =) Sorry about the size of it, I hate resizing them on this site. LOL

Breanne, Me and Michelle. LOL We were just starting off here, so not even close to being drunk yet. LOL This is a horrible pic of me, but you get the point. LOL

Ah ha! Well, Tuck. I've got on pic on photobucket I found. This is Neeners. LOL The other two cats I'll get pics of soon. This was taken like March 08.

~Snyder~

Prayers

Am I dreaming,
Or am I really alone,
In this enlarging world,
That is truly unknown.

I fight to survive,
And continue on my own,
But then I am reminded,
By everything that is shown.

The sick truth is,
The world mocks me,
|As hate courses through my body,
I scream to be free.

I lay it out there,
And pray that a miracle will occur,
But then I realize,
That everyone is a blur.

I should be afraid,
I act strong from the outside,
But the truth is,
All I do is hide.

I bow down to the powerful,
And rage against the weak,
But what I do know,
Is the truth that I seek.

I need to be saved,
By someone who cares,
But the only thing I feel,
Are the tremors of my own fears.

I am no longer here,
My prayers cruelly answered,
As they bury my body,
My calls backfired.

If I were alive,
My salty tears would fall,
Instead all I can do,
Is lay here so small.

Darkness overtakes me,
No longer surrounded by mankind,
And then I soon realize,
I am going to be just fine.

-Snyder-

Ok, so I wrote this a few hours ago, and decided to post it here (I also posted it on myspace which I normally do NOT do).

Anyways, as Tuck would say, *Clears throat* "Who wrote this, angst-Lee?" LOL Probably true...in more ways than one.

Anyways, just thought I'd share. My life has been kind of...hell lately. So yeah, hope all is well.

~Snyder~

Wow. What an ending! It was so...not sudden but...I can't even think of a word for it. It just kind of happened...and then I was surprised when he pulled away and was like, "goodnight." And for those of you that have no idea what the hell I'm talking about...well, the kiss of course!!!I was wondering if the preview for the episode was just trying to tease us, but they actually kissed! Yay! You guys know how much of a Huddy fan I am!

So...for the preview for the episode in 2 weeks. Oh no! Is Wilson seriously going to tell Cuddy he has a thing for her? I always assumed that he liked her, but hell no. It's just a rule that a best friend (in this case 2 males), doesn't take the others "girl." Yeah, I know, Cuddy isn't really House's girl, but still. I mean, OMG, I'm going to be pissed if it all goes down like that. And what do ya all think about Cuddy approaching House and trying to talk to him about it? LOL Should be interesting!

~Snyder~
