My final grade was a 89.4
Damnit, go figure I would be that close to another A.
Oh well, Ive got a 3.75 right now- but ultimately sorta bummed on not having a 4.0

My new hectic life monday through friday is as follows.

Work 10am-4 or 5. School 5:30-11:45pm.

The days fly by, but whenever I feel down I just look around and think about how far I have come. I rarely get to spend time with sky, our schedules dont mesh very well. Life is great though.

My new bike project is an early 70's Mirella italian road racing bike. Super rare brand, Should be alot of fun to build up. The parts are slowly coming together, shaping up to be a yellow/blue scheme and will be my main commuter/bad weather bike,not taking any risks with the Bareknuckle. Between the bikes/work/ school- Im beat. so busy. but busy is great.

Real quick...

got a job doing prep work at a place called The Handlebar.
Specialize in vegan/vegetarian food, and its a bar for cyclist.
Cool little place, nice fusion of things im interested in and a nice
observational position on entrepeneurism. God i spelt that wrong. hahah.

Sold the peugeot for $500 after I converted it. Sold the fetish for $700.

So Now im building skys bike, and my new Bareknuckle is in the process and They were paid for by my last 2 bikes. I like how that works.

2 more days of my 3rd class left. I have a 4.0 right now. Pretty amped.

peugeot conversion

Tue, 06 Mar 2007 23:17:06 GMT

annnnd yea... im busy.

Fri, 23 Feb 2007 08:36:13 GMT

School is starting off great. I got an A on my first Exam which is 1/3 of my grade. Im cramming 14 units into 3 months of school.

Its finally about 30-40 degrees, So ive been able to ride my bike to and from school, and a couple downtown adventures as well. Everyday Ive been here Ive had a smile on my face the entire time. I absolutely love where we live. Its right in the middle of everything. Sure I hear drunk people at 2-4am every morning but Its great seeing people outside no matter what time it is. Im starting a conversion project this week. 1970's peugot road bike , bright green. Strip it all down and do the conversion, and got some black velocity's with black spokes/hubs, and some bullhorns to throw on there as well. See how that goes. Should be interesting. Also have some pics coming up soon of recent updates done to my current track bike.

All in all... Its kind of hard to touch on how well everything is going. I cant feel in depth lately, feel somewhat in shock still i think.

Mon, 05 Feb 2007 07:07:31 GMT

Ive been way too busy. All the goodbyes, hugs, and tears were nice to get away from and get started on my journey. We left Sunday at 3pm and got to Chicago Tuesday morning at 7am. gnarliest drive ever... nothing upon nothing for hours. We had booked a hotel room at the Marriot downtown for two nights, so that was a nice break before all the fun began. Our new apartment is on the thirdfloor of a pretty old building, which translates to Very fucking narrow hallways, steep stairs, and unpredictable suprises around every corner. lol and things only get more interesting... One of the two coldest days of the year was the day we moved in, and to make matter worse- there was a 2 hour unload policy on our moving truck and he couldnt park in front of the building due to a bus stop. So we have two hours to move everything about 60 yards and then up three flights of stairs. wow... Its paid off though, everything is going great and almost done.

Still in progress, but heres part of the living room

This is our street

We have a stairway to a private rooftop, This is the view<3

Heres my little baby again!!!!

Heres the Kitchen Before and After... Ive been the handymanDan

thats all for now... I have to paint cabinets and blah blah. School starts soon and so does job hunting......

el Oh Vee Eee. EL eye Eff Eeee LoveLife.

DANZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG

Fri, 01 Dec 2006 01:40:58 GMT

Last night, Danzig @ the wiltern!!!!!!!!!!
Last two songs- Special guest- FUCKING DOYLE!!! Two misfits songs. WOW.
Amazing night.

Yesterday me n sky left early and went shopping on melrose for a couple hours, then went and checked in at The Standard. I had won a contest a while back for work, whoever got the most new clients, and won some money towards a trip. So i decided to just book a suite for the night we were gonna see danzig. It was amazing, very swinger-ish??? hahahha. weird, but fully amazing. Nice and big, amazing view, room service for dinner, breakfast in bed for sky. It was something we needed, Sort of pay our last respects to CA for a while.

This week is somewhat of a wrap up for us. I Worked my last day as a title rep today. Now i have to go work in a restaurant, dreading getting a new job. Sky graduates Friday from Paul Mitchell. Nick is now coming with us to chicago for sure. Everything is coming together. So now, Ive gotta tie up all the loose ends and get some random things taken care of.

Im not going to lie, november was by far one of the most stressful months of my life. But in one month Ive overcome more than ever.

lol

Mon, 27 Nov 2006 04:39:14 GMT

life is funny.

90% of people will try to discourage every choice you make. ie: Moving out of state, Sobriety, Life commitments, etc.

Its as if noone wants to see you succeed. Especially in something they know that they wont succeed in.

I change my life's plan alot... I always have, But the most comical part is....

Everything I do, I end up succeeding in and surpassing everyones expectations.

If you cant succeed at one thing, Youre wasting the air I need to breathe.

Im on this weird mission in my life to abolish negativity. But only within my life. as if its fucking WW III hahahha. If youre negative to me, Ive noticed that you will get greeted with some bad karma. Its a creepy thing, but I must prewarn you. It always happens. hahahhahaha. try me.

ugh... thanksgiving family feud.

Sat, 25 Nov 2006 22:56:09 GMT

My weekend in havasu for thanksgiving went as follows:

Lots of drunk people
Lots of bars (you can smoke inside in AZ)
Keep in mind i no longer drink nor smoke
I was the DD all weekend
Almost fought my dad
Mom made me leave because she thought i was going to beat the shit out of my drunk father.
Cousins and uncles aunts- allll wasted. obnoxious.

::sigh::
Fuck.

but:

I got to be a bro and ride my dirtbike before I sell it.
Went on the lake and drove the boat around while every1 got hammered.
Read alot of my Henry rollins book. its pretty weird

I really dont know what to say. Dreyer family tradition eh?

Id like to end this positvely though-
I never thought I had this strength inside of me, Im excited.
I will never again have a sip of alcohol or a single ciggerette. Theres no going back on that, i will only look forward. And I finally did it for myself. <3 I love you dan dreyer. Im glad Im you. HAHHAHAHAHAH

Wed, 22 Nov 2006 07:56:45 GMT

I started reading a collection of Henry Rollins' writing today, and enjoyed a nice latte. He's definately a bit out there, but I relate to him alot. I got sky a book all about boston terriers, Our little monster is comming the first week of December!!!!! I cant wait.

I feel wonderful. I feel accomplished.
the fact that I could finally do it.... Im never going to look back.
I feel free, the way Ive wanted to feel for a long time. Free of any sort of addiction in my life.
Ready to face this world, with a mind so clear like never before.

Reborn.

Tue, 21 Nov 2006 05:43:09 GMT

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 19:45:32 GMT

I've never updated via sidekick. Kinda weird, but I think I like it. I'm out working in Redlands and Yucaipa right now, its hot as hell. Soon ill be in chicago wishing it were warm hahaha.

I've realized I've grown a lot away from my bad habits I had struggled with for so long. It feels nice to be proud of yourself. Conquering demons and growing from it is powerful. I feel like I don't fit in sometimes. I don't like drugs and I like to be in reality a lot more now. I don't have anything to escape. Life in itself is an adventure enough for me. But for those who sit in an existence of repetition and have no real plan of progression-have fun putting holes in your brain, i understand your coping mechanism. I just don't agree with it.

Meh... right now eating healthy and being active is my drug. Adrenaline and love will conquer any substance.

Fit body = fit mind

biggest fear

Wed, 15 Nov 2006 04:52:40 GMT

13 minutes after I posted my last entry, I was on the phone with skylin. I was trying to give her directions through irvine- aka worst city to be lost in ever. All of a sudden I heard a huge bang and lots of bending metal and screams and then the phone hung up. I immediately was in tears and was pacing back and forth in my livingroom trying to call her back over and over again. I repeated the word NO about 43 times in horrified tears. The phone rang and she was crying frantically and screaming. All i could imagine was she was trapped in a place where she needed help in 3 minutes or she would die. stuck in some ravine. Paralyzed. Something was happening that would change everyday and every second of the rest of my entire life. I honestly felt as if these were her last words to me. The only comforting voice on the face of this earth and the last time id hear it. I was feeling things I had only imagined but worse and it had always been my biggest fear that I would lose skylin.

She totalled her car in an accident on that rainy night. She came out unscathed and safe. I keep replaying the thoughts that crowded and rushed my head for those couple of minutes. the scariest moment of my entire life. I have never felt such an attack of emotion in a split second, like the last 3 years of my life flashing in front of me. Every smile coming at 500mph just to worsen my panic, to kick me while i was down.

Its hard to describe the intensity of this feeling on that rainy, lonely, and uncomfortable night.

_______________________________________________________________________

That little silver jetta... It was one of the first signs that I had achieved something I dreamt of. The look on skylins face, she thought it was too expensive-Like the perfect one she really wanted but knew it was way more than what we had decided on, yet I could buy it for her and make it happen. I felt I could give her the hugest deserving gift I had dreamt of one day giving her. The gift that everyday she'd remember me when she drove it. The fact that I could finally rest assured she'd be safer in this car than the deathtrap she was driving. It was a milestone in my life. I put blood and sweat into that little silver jetta. It was a long time coming, the hardwork and the complete payoff and satisfaction it was...

But now were starting a new journey, ina new direction. Im glad she was in that car and not her old car. I think she would have been seriously hurt and flipped the explorer. Im grateful for the payoff of the hardwork that kept her safe...

New beginnings.... heres to our new life. One step at a time.

Devil's Love Song

Sun, 12 Nov 2006 04:28:09 GMT

Baby girl tell me what do you see?
Is it the- evil in me?
Tell me girl is it a big suprise-
That Im the Devil in Disguise?
Could you tell by my devil walk?
Or was it just my sinsister talk?
Ive been searching for someone dead like me
and you fit that description to a T.

-Come on baby girl sign right here.
- Youll never again have a single fear

Tell me baby why youre dead like me,
This answer is truly key.
We can rule this whole damn world
JustWatch these opportunities unfold.
Because Im the master of wrong and sin
I tear people down from within
Theres nothing here that I cant do
But I need it to be done with you.

- tell me baby if youre coming soon
-To my palace where its always june

Everywhere I go they all know my name
But noone can break down my game
Im the dark that everyone holds inside
With all those lies and secrets they hide.
This can be yours when you sign the line
But just know now Your Soul is Mine.

- tell me girl if your coming soon
- to my kingdom where its always june.

_____________________________________________________________________

I wrote this song for Skylin. Kind of humorous but in a weird way that noone else but us can understand, its perfect. we compliment eachother perfectly. A match in almost everyway. Together we stop at nothing to get what we want. We continuously have broke down barriers and made a life for ourselves, and I love skylin renee more than anything. My fucking soulmate.

Love you monster<3

As Im walking, i pause to look back every so often.

Each time, everything is the same. Everyone is standing in their circle talking and waiting for someone to take charge... Yet I keep walking and walking.

The further I have walked- the farther away from everyone I am.

however, I travel consistently. And theres no shortcuts...

you people are just buying time... Maybe I will See you one of these days at the end of wherver this journey takes us... All that is certain in my mind is that- I will make it.
