Take a CloSer LoOk

An idea I got from s&sgoth often describes her attire painting an interesting picture. So I'll describe my current clothing choice so that you can better visualize me though it may not be as interesting
1. gray and brown plaid shirt unbuttoned
2. blue screen of death T-shirt
3. loose fitting blue jeans
4. comfortable athletic shoes mostly gray with white and black
5. Simpson’s boxer shorts
4. black socks

You are Form 5, Dragon: The Weaver.

"And The Dragon seperated the virtuous from
the sinful. He tore his eyes from his sockets
and used them to peer into the souls of those
on trial to make a judgement. He knew that
with endless knowledge came endless
responsibility."


Some examples of the Dragon Form are Athena
(Greek), St. Peter (Christian), and Surya
(Indian).
The Dragon is associated with the concept of
intelligence, the number 5, and the element of
wood.
His sign is the crescent moon.

As a member of Form 5, you are an intelligent and
wise individual. You weigh options by looking
at how logical they are and you know that while
there may not always be a right or wrong
choice, there is always a logical one. People
may say you are too indecisive, but it's only
because you want to do what's right. Dragons
are the best friends to have because they're
willing to learn.

Back From The Dead

Hey everyone, it has been some time since my last post. I've been busy and have had a lot on my mind. I did make some notes over the past few days and will got back later to fill in what has happened and replace the quick jumble of words that I typed a joke. Today I went to church for the first time in years. It was a special day because there are only five Sundays in February every 28 years. In that time I will be about halfway finished with my life, not so comforting. On the plus side though I'll still be younger than my parents are now. When I'm on my own maybe I'll got to church more, once I'm away from my suffocating mother. She poked and shoved me though out the entire sermon. She said that I was leaning over to far, or chewing my gum too loudly, she was constantly taking my song book and following along with her finger as if she thought I didn't know where we were. On the way home she talked my ear off about El Gibson's new Passion movie. Talked about how no one should care even if the Jews were responsible for Jesus' death because none of the ones responsible for that were alive today and like how a family would gladly have a German exchange student over even if one of their relatives had been a Nazi; like how there are plenty of African-American men and wen with Caucasian wives or husbands even though some are undoubtedly the descendants of slave owners. This did make sense to me. I was always uncomfortable with religion though because I don't understand how some people can be so devoted that they believe their faith, although not the most ancient has little more facts to support it than others, is the only true religion. As humans it is our nature to not accept things without question, I wonder if by acting so-called righteous and condemning practitioners of other faiths if they are not trying to convince themselves that the religion is an elaborate hoax meant only to comfort those who know they can never find the truth. In the sermon it was mentioned that when Jesus was wandering the desert with no food Satan asked Jesus why he didn't just turn a rock into bread. Jesus said that a man can't live on bread alone, but a man can't live on faith alone. Don't believe me? Try it and call me in a few weeks. The pastor also talked about how we shouldn't test God, well all we know comes from testing things. If we don't test God we remain ignorant, but maybe that's the point? How convenient Despite all the controversy and terrible wars it has caused over the centuries religion does show some signs of enlightenment. Like the ads you see on TV collecting money for starving children. As long as we don't become too sure of our beliefs so sure that it is the correct one with no empirical evidence and be so sure the thousands of other faiths are wrong. Religion good in general but the problems begin when people began dissecting religions and deciding that one is better than the other. They need to just ignore the differences and respect the traits shared by al theologies. Religion may be all about faith, but faith can be dangerous some times. Always remember to take you faith with a grain of reason.

Bender: Malachi, every time I interfere I only make things worse. You're best off solving your own problems.
Malachi: But, but Metal Lord.
Bender: What part of "nay" doesn't thou understand?

You snooze, you win. At least this once.

I read today that Forbes’ list of billionaires has grown by 64 members, if only I were that wealthy. I believe I would be truly happy. People say money doesn’t buy happiness but all the things I love to do and would love to do could be easily taken care of with a few billion dollars in the bank. I could satisfy my desire to travel because no vacation and no hotel would be too expensive, and obviously I wouldn’t have to worry about missed work. Or not having a job at all. The oldest man in the United States died yesterday at 114. Those are the two things I would like to combine in my life, longevity and wealth. Although in the end I’m sure it really doesn’t matter we’re all going to die one day and we’re all going to be forgotten one day even if it takes thousands of years. Then it will almost be as if we never existed. Today was mundane but enjoyable. That often seems to be the case, you have a real shitty day and the next one is great. It started off me crawling out of bed, unrested as always. I need to stop staying up late to watch the X-Files and just buy the DVDs since the show is over. Things picked up form there, I took a test in French 3 today and I think passed with flying colors. In study hall we watched a preview of the play. The plot was interesting, it was one of the few I would have enjoyed performing in myself. I'm sorry to say the acting is not all that great, even by high school standards. But the set design is stellar even good special effects with the gunshots. Physics went well, we were divided into teams and had to design a device capable of protecting an egg from a meter and two meter drop using eight sheets of paper and a limited amount of tape. My group consisted of Dora, a geeky girl I had known briefly in middle school and Carmella, an Italian exchange student who sat across from me. The lab rekindled my engineering interests. Ever since I was a child I loved designing and building things. I used to build Lego sets following the instructions, then after I had played with it rebuild something else from my own imagination. In fourth grade I remember a project where we had to build a tower with straws and tape and the tallest one won. I believe I won that contest. For the longest we just sat there staring at each other until I suggested we each come up with a way to protect the egg then build prototypes and test them before using our actually materials. In the end we combined all of the designs to build the device but most of device was clearly derived from my prototype except for the sturdy legs used in Tobias’. I found the most difficult part of the project was articulating my ideas to others, I also cannot draw well so this made things difficult. However when they id understand what I meant my ideas were accepted. I sometimes feel as if it would be easier to assume all the responsibility for such progress on my own, but I could not have built the device fast enough with out help so I put these feelings aside because it was clearly a group effort. It was the most enjoyable thing I had done in a long time. While the demonstrations were taking place, I noticed a few guys juggling with some of the leftover eggs in the carton. They didn’t want to risk using their eggs because any crack would disqualify them. Give some a kid something round and they’ll juggle it, happens all the time. When it came time to test our device it worked in stopping the egg from breaking but tipped over and the egg rolled out on the floor. We all held our breaths for a moment but when the egg finally rolled to a stop it was fine. At least to everyone else’s knowledge. There was a hairline crack on one side of the egg, and an actual hair on the other which had been picked up from rolling on the floor. When someone did spot the crack and the teacher came to investigate I simply rolled the egg over removed the hair and showed it to them. During the two-meter round everyone else’s egg splattered immediately upon impact. Carmella and I were near the jugglers when it came time for us to test our device for the second round. She smiled and whispered to me that I should switch our egg with one of the unused ones. I think she was joking, but of course I already had. I saw an opportunity with the jugglers taking attention away from the carton and seized it. I dropped our egg from the two-meter height and it landed in the center of our device and came to rest gently on the paper “springs”. The device actually functioned better the second time because our aim for the center was better. I believe the egg would have easily survived even if I had not switched it. We received candy as a prize; Carmella grabbed the Kit Kat, Dora grabbed the Snickers and I got the M&Ms. I received the M&Ms because I was busy putting away supplies as they selected candy. The teacher said if you snooze you loose, but of the three choices I prefer M&Ms so it was a win for me. Carmella and I barely managed to suppress our laughter as we wrote our conclusion and answered the questions. She is one of the few girls who gets my humor, and quite often uses it herself. She reminds me of myself if I were female. Went to lunch with Rob, Red, Joe, Dean, Ty and a quiet friend of his who’s name I can’t recall. I rode with Rob and the girl in Ty’s dilapidated yellow car; Dean and Red in Joe’s. On the way there they jokingly rammed us in the bumper. The force was only enough to make us softly lean forward, I think everyone thought it was funny except for Ty, and his old car. I bought a chicken nugget happy meal, it came with the worst toy ever made. Well, okay so it’s not the worst toy ever made, but it is truly strange. A plastic hyena finger puppet that laughs. Then we left and Dean and angry-Red through pennies at Ty’s car I do not know why. We went back to school and Dean gave everyone a high five except for Ty, he tried to anyway but Duff said not if I can help it, so they didn’t. History was enjoyable, I read a chapter and did a worksheet on the prohibition era and learned about Theodore Roosevelt, my favorite president (second would be Kennedy). Then I drove home and drank a Dr. Pepper, then I turned on the computer and selected Blogger from my favorites list. Then I added a new post and clicked preview, the end.

Happy Boobie Day

Happy Mardi Gras, a.k.a Boobie Day, a.k.a Fat Tuesday, a.k.a The Day Prior To Lent. Today I went to school. Yeppers I sure dod. Cassie gave me sparkly beads. I put them around my neck and she looped them over again. She said this made them look better, but the made me feel like a sea creature caught in a plastic six pack ring so I loosened them again. Every hour people asked me “Who’d you flash” I said know one, that I had just asked for them and when I tried to flash them I got mostly negative responses. They also didn’t not want to flash me in exchange for the plastic beaded necklace. Flash means to quickly show a part of you body that is covered most of the time. Favorites include breast and penis. Vagina and buttocks are less favored options. Another large topic of discussion was what they were going to relinquish, Mardi Gras is more than just a reason for Girls Gone Wild photographers to make videos. It is based in some Christian religious ritual. If you practice this ritual, you must give up some thing you enjoy for (I believe it is 40 Days) this is done to show commitment and devotion to more important things. Mardi Gras is a celebration when people take advantage of the day prior to this event. I went to lunch at Wendy’s with Dean, Joe, Rob and Ty. We talked about old N64 games like Star Fox or Golden Eye. It is unfair to be Oddjobber for he is short and difficult to shoot. It is also a sin for one to not say “shotgun” and then get in the passenger seat instead of the guy who did say “shotgun” this is a crime punishable by death. Back to school Brendan and I discovered a GIANT paperclip I put it on my necklace because it made me look gangsta. As I was going home after following the Great One because she said she could provide me with GSCs. But it turned out that there will be no GSCs until tomorrow and it will cost me $7.00. She was putting make up on for the performance so I left, and spoke with adorable Amber and Yin and Yang flirted with me incessantly, until I told them I had to leave.

Homoliy Ever After

George W. Bush does not support gay marriages. I understand this, he thinks marriage is an ancient and sacred tradition that should be between a man AND a woman just as it has always been . . . but shouldn't two people in love be allowed to be together regardless of gender? I say yes. The Solution? Leave marriages for heterosexual couples and make something identical for homosexual couples. Just call it something entirely different, like a union or something. There, problem solved. Everyone loves a win-win situation, unless you're gay and for some reason extremely fond of words that start with the letter "w".

SOUPA S-SMASH BRATHATHTAYAAS!!!

Today I went to school, and like everyday there it was full of non-stop excitement and thrills that I shall inform you of. It began in keyboarding, which sucked worse than normal because all my progress info was lost. Which means I had to start over on lesson 1. It was Foreign-Food-Day at The High School this Monday, for those of you who don’t know or have a similar event at your school it is the day on which all students of foreign language courses bring a food of that particular ethnicity to school and share with the classes. For me this meant a quick trip to the grocery store before 8:00 to grab some French bread. When it was my turn to announce the food I brought Mme. Chien said I was cheap for bring the store-bought kind instead of baking it my self like seal-boy. She was right of course, most students had spent a lot of time preparing complicated French dishes, most of which I had never heard of. But that’s okay, freshman year I brought nothing and just ate everyone else’s and sophomore year I said that I had brought French air. Naturally this joke didn’t go over well with her. I had hoped to try some of the Russian food, because I know so little about their culture other than that is wear nukes; commies, cosmonauts and vodka come from. So basically the stuff they show you in movies. I did run into a Russian student though, he informed me that class was not in sessinon today so no soup for me. Then he said it was impossible to speak Russian with out sounding intoxicated or pissed off. Then he left, and I spoke with Dean and Brendan. We talked about the I-pod and Home Movies, it turned out Brendan was not in a foreign language class he just got a bathroom pass from English so he could come to our hall and sample food or something, I thought this was very funny. In 7th people took turns playing t on a calculator some girl had loaned Duff and at the end of the day we listened to Mr. T’s Tales From Turkey. What is your favorite Tetris piece? I like the line. It would be funny if someone just took the leftovers from food day, froze them and used them next year. I love Meg so much, she is one of the few girls that can make me laugh, an actual laugh and not a forced one...even if most of the time they're at her more than with her. I invented something for tapping on the shoulder of the girl two chairs in front of you, it's a pencil connected to two foot lone thin copper wire. When they turn around they ask everyone close to them who is responsible, it's funny. In other news: I got an A- on my physics test, hooray. Also came up with good video concept DT3R-sD+U I had to make that code to remind my self of the game but make sure no one else understands and steals my idea.

The Smoking Man

Remember in school how they always had those corny motivational posters on the wall? Saying stuff like "Math is magical" or "Physics is phun" Or "I heart science" but instead of the v-day hear there is a picture of an actual human heart. I'll never forget this one they had in middle school, it said "It looks just as stupid when you do it" and then had a bunch of animals smoking in what looked like the Hollywood Squares set. Duck gets the square! Well, I always thought the chimp looked cool. If I had tons of cash to blow I might buy a pack just to try it. But I don't so, I won't. Speaking of animals doing stupid human things have you ever wondered what a drunk dog or cat acts like? I have. So what is your favorite school poster? I like the one that says how the Navy can get you money for college. It's posted on the wall in the front foyer a few feet from the WWII memorial plaque. My joke: Why did the chicken cross the road? To get his flu vaccine.

Deep Thaw Or Defrost Overnight

The weather is warming back up; most of the snow has melted leaving clear puddles and entire chunks of lawn covered in thick mud. The snowman in front of our house is no more, just one big ball of snow surrounded by mud. It feels great; you can actually wear a t-shirt and feel comfortable outside. In fourth hour Kelly came back, I'm not sure there is an utterance foul enough to describe my dislike for this girl. And the cherry on top? I think she likes me, I think she likes me ALOT. The only thing worse than having atrocious breath and teeth that would make Austin Powers cringe is having atrocious breath and teeth that would make Austin Powers cringe and talking my ear off. If this is what it feels like to be on the receiving end of unwanted affection I offer my sincerest apologies to all the women whom I have ever annoyed. But, at least I have fresh breath and sparkling straight teeth. After she was done bothering the hell out me, spewing BS like "tummy aches are a sign God is trying to tell us we ate too much", she decided to pester my friend CT.

She noticed he was using a five-dollar bill as a bookmark in 1984 and dared him to toss it out an open window. To my surprise, he did. Jobless penny pincher that I am I asked the head custodian to open the doors to the courtyard so that I could retrieve "my homework that someone had thrown out the window as a cruel prank". The courtyard or, pits, are a small grassy area enclosed on all sides by the school walls. In the past students used them for smoking but that has been banned for decades. I retrieved the five and used it to buy a Red Bull from Wal-Greens (heh, did anyone see Red Balls on Chappelle's show last night?).

Speaking of Wal-Greens the developers have found yet another strip of grass not paved over and construction is under way for a new one. I need a job so badly I'm almost tempted to camp out there until it opens like a nerdy Star Wars fan, okay, so like a nerdy me.

OOOhhh uh, my stomach...TELL YOUR FRENDZ

MMM mmm, It's been a few days since St. Valentines Day and the candy is still in stores! I just bought two big bags of those chalky yet delicious conversation hearts. I'm finishing the second bag as I type and it is starting to hurt my stomach. On the plus side I began having all these visions of the future. First of all people will actually use the word wuv instead of love because it's shorter and language always evolves into something easier, even if it is not a big difference. I also forsee the use of computer lingo like LOL or OMG becoming common place outside of chatrooms and e-mails. OMG my stomach really fucking hurts! AHHHHHHHHHH. Okay, take a tum, eat a heart, take a tum, eat a heart, take a tum, eat a heart, blow - chalk. Yeah so that's the entire future of humanity in a nutshell. If you don't like it you can grow a penis (assuming you don't already have one) take yoga, then screw yourself however you choose for the rest of your life. You know how dogs are mans best friend and they say diamonds are a girls best friend? I guess that means girls are materialistic, and guys like to chase tail around.

Me: They should make a little machine that hooks on to your lock and just spins it around and around until it finds the combination.
Jason: Dude, do you have any idea how many possible combos there are? Like 30 to the 30th power. You'd have to like this huge super computer hooked up to it. If you tried to break into someone's safe and they caught you. They’d just tell the police "Look for the guy dragging a bunch of CPUs behind him on a cart." and once you found the safe you'd have to hope there was a socket near by to plug it in or else you'd need a bunch of extension cords.
Me: You could just use batteries.
Jason: That would eat up batteries really fast.
Me: Well then just add another cart on behind that with a gas generator.
Jason: Fine, but don't use it in an enclosed space.
Me: Well it's 15 'till, better start walking back to keyboarding and see if the door is open.
Jason: Is that why you keep walking away then coming back? You're checking the door and then returning to talk?
Me: Yeah, it's getting close this time. 3rd time 's a charm
Jason: Why don't you just wait in one place until it is 5 till?
Me: cuz that ruins the cycle.
Jason: God, you're obsessive compulsive, you're gonna wear a grove in the hallway's marble floor.
Today Meg and I talked about how we spent our breaks and valentine's day. Me, waiting until the day after until candy was cheap then eating tons of it only to realize 100 chocolates don't make you feel any less lonely. That's why I call it the loneliest day of the year. Meg told me she missed having a boyfriend too, and I said it was better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I don't think she bought that, she told me that she and a girlfriend had gone out to cafe and she bumped into a really "cool and nice guy" who bought them drinks. I asked the guys name and she told me it was Dean, yep that's right. Dean the virgin slayer. Generally when Meg meets really cool guys it’s someone I’ve never heard of but I’m quite familiar with this one. Later they went back to Cid's house, a friend of Deans and watched some sci-fi movie. Of course Meg fell asleep, I don't think she likes those movies. As I was leaving the veranda at end of the day I heard Dean describing the difference between male and female orgasms and then he said v-day had been so cool and that some girl he had met for just 4 hours fell asleep in his lap. He and Weirdy laughed, to make things worse they began talking about Ty. Dean called my friend Ty half-retarded, which came as surprise to me because I thought Ty and Dean were friends. The three of us had known each other for over a decade. But I guess after I moved a few years back some things changed. Ty is probably the only truly nice guy that I know. It may be true that he is not the brightest bulb in the box but I guess I never noticed because it just didn't matter. Ironically Dean, the guy who calls people who used to be his friends "half-retarded", gets the nice guy label. Meg isn't the first girl to tell me how great Duff is and the thing that happens next is always the same, the old wham bam thank you ma’am routine. I was jealous and I’m unsure why, I don’t love Meg. I barely like her as a friend the only reason we hang out is because “pathways become used to certain patterns of sensory inputs, and thus I can miss her should she be absent” (If you actually know who said this you’re a bigger geek than me) I guess it was just the idea that someone I knew was getting some and I wasn’t

Flashback and Random Commentary

I was just a kid, maybe 9 or 10. I took turns playing Lemmings, Bolo or Space Invaders on an old Mac computer in the library. Seems like ages ago.
"Oh no!" "Let's go!" "AaHh, they got me!" "The man cannot put a mine there. It would kill the man."

I don't know what the desks at your high school were like, but at mine all the chairs have this little square shaped hole cut out of the back. The only reason I can imagine they would design them this way is for ventellation, or to save material. (White Castle makes burgers with this hole so they cook faster, but that's way off subject) Many guys, myself included, have found another good use for them. The jeans girls wear these days ride very low, so low that they often expose underwear or even butt cheeks. If you get to class early you can choose a seat in the back and enjoy the scenery until the bell rings. Sometimes if they catch on they will sit on the side of the chair only where the plastic is, but most of the time they don't realize they have an audience, or maybe that don't care.

The New Title Test #2

I just watched this documentary by Michael Moore. It is not the best documentary I have seen but it was good and interesting, my favorite part was when he visited Canada. I was surprised about Heston's position on guns, he was in Beneath The Planet of The Apes. If you've seen the classic Sci-Fi movie you know where I'm going with this.

Rants & Raves of a Non-Raver

Today was just as uneventful as every other day of my life. I wanted to get film so I could start taking pictures for this blog, but my mom is crazy and before she will drive me anywhere I always have to negotiate some bullshit with her. When I had my car and wanted something I just got in, left and got it. No fucking around, that's one of the things I appreciate about my Dad. When he promises to do something he generally does it with out "forgetting" or complaining. I watched three movies today; Philadelphia, Life and Space Balls. Philadelphia was good, it was a sad movie but not as sad I thought it was going to be. I never really felt connected with the character so the fact that he was wasting away didn’t bother me. Sound horrible? It is. Philadelphia was a great movie with great actors and a good theme, especially for the time it came out. But I don't think it was very entertaining. As for Space Balls, the movie was funny but you know how when you were younger you and your friends would joke about certain things and they were hilarious but now when you're older you bring up the subject again and everyone is just like "ha ha, that’s kinda funny". Well that’s how I felt about this movie. The only part I really enjoyed was when they watched the movie of the movie they were in to find out what would happen next. I loved that. Life was great, if you haven’t seen it I strongly recommend this movie. It was about two people who were imprisoned for a murder they did not commit. They get life in prison, I enjoy movies that take place over a long period of time and focus on a particular group of people because it shows how their relationships change (or don’t change) over time. The movie was tragic, given that they spent over 40 years of their life imprisoned, but at least at the end they escaped. If you like this movie you might also enjoy The Shawshank Redemption. Well, that’s all folks. I’m going to go watch Next on CNN, I heard they’re going to talk about TSO.

Rants and Raves From a Non-Raver

Happy Valentine's Day. This morning when I woke up I had presents, a Simpson’s chest set from my step-sister, something I've wanted for a long time and a camera (the same kind I used in photography class LOL Pentax) from my Mom and step-dad. It made me feel bad because I didn't get anyone anything. . .I didn't know I was supposed to. I didn't realize anyone celebrated Valentine's Day. Until today, I never had so when I first saw the gifts I didn't know what they were for. I thought just maybe some random act of kindness from my mom. I didn't even know it was Valentine's Day until I checked my Simpson’s calendar. I was going to write about the origins of the holiday and the guy who was actually Saint Valentine. But I'll save that for tomorrow. I watched three movies yesterday: Secondhand Lions, Uptown Girls, and Knockaround Guys. They were all great but I liked Knokcaround Guys the best. Too bad they killed Marbles he was my favorite character. Ever notice how actors sometimes get stuck playing a specific role in each movie? Seth Green will never escape the young-guy role after acting in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He'll probably play a teen even in his 40s. Next here's something you'll really enjoy. Last night I created a multiple choice test one can fill out to help my quest to find the perfect girl for me. Unfortunately I lost the disk, oh well maybe some other time.

Rants and Raves From a Non-Raver

I need job. Wow, I can’t help but feel as if I’ve stated that before. Oh yeah, It’s because I did. My life is and endless circle of bullshit. I need to get a job. I need to call her, I need to do my homework, I need to fill out those test forms, I need to clean out my room, I need to practice guitar, Eleanor Rigby is an easy song . . . I could learn it if I tried. I’m just too damn lazy. I. Just. Need. To. I just need to keep repeating that to myself, stop wasting time. I only have so much time on this earth, I only have so much time in general probably. OW! It hurts to type, trying out those fucking rock chords last night really hurt my wrist and hand…I think I have CTS. Maybe it’s a good thing I can’t afford a new electric right now, I’d have to amputate my fucking arms from the elbow down. It’s a bad thing that I can’t afford to fix my car though. It’s a bad thing that I haven’t taken the practice tests yet, I really need to bring my score up. It’s not bad, but it isn’t really good either. Ow there go my hands again. Damnit! Well I can only procrastinate so much before I’m dead and I’ve spent all my life eating Frechetta brick oven pizzas and watching old episodes of Sliders and Star Trek. Fucking wrist, jeez they hurt. I really need to update this blog, change some things that have been stagnating and annoying me for some time, but this post is all I’m doing today. A bunch of random thoughts that have been plaguing my mind for some time. I can’t believe I let this dog sleep on the floor next to me. I like my room clean, the guy drinks out of the toilet even after someone has peed in it. He has used Kleenexes and panty liners for an afternoon snack. I’d put him outside but I’d be afraid he’d choke to death trying to eat one of those giant icicles or frozen mud chunks he digs up under the snow. I need to call Subway, see if they have looked at my application. I’d like to work at Chuck E Cheese actually, there probably something therapeutic about cavorting around in a costume, and there are few jobs that pay you for that…well few jobs that don’t require you to stick your genitals in a glittery sock and shake them around in front of fat old women. Well, I’m bored now. Wonder if anything is on TV? "Yes, I see. Something involving that many big words could
easily destabilize time itself!" -Professor Hubert Farnsworth, Futurama

You are Jacques Lacan! Arguably the most important
psychoanalyst since Freud, you never wrote
anything down, and the only works of yours are
transcriptions of your lectures. You are

least you didn't talk about the penis as much
as other psychoanalysts. You died in 1981.

MMMmmm. This cherry 7up is delicious! I may have mentoined this before, but when most people choose a pop to drink. They pick one they are familiar with, and they ALWAYS get that and or upset if they have to settle for a second choice. I on the other hand enjoy a variety and would rather drink a different type of soda each time. The only kinds I really dislike are those weird Diet Rite flavors and grape soda. I really don't like grape anything, Vanilla Coke is good but I don't drink it very often. It gives me a stomach ache, I don't know why. I think I'm the only one who really enjoyed Mr. Green. You can tell the world your favorite kind of drink or soft drink, or just drink by clicking on the link that says "WHAT SAY YOU" Wow...I'm really starting to run out of content ideas, lol.

“Familiarity breeds contempt . . . and children.” – Mark Twain Dear Journal today went well, I got my poem that defined poetry turned into creative writing and I’m becoming a speedy typist in keyboarding. I just got several great ideas, one involves playing Monopoly with real money and the other is a movie script about the life of cavemen. I’ll elaborate more later.

I got lots of mail today and it’s all grown up stuff. Like this letter that said I paid taxes in the summer and now if I send this rectangle of paper back to them with some questions answered I can get some of that money I paid back, wonder why they took it in the first place. They didn’t even send me instructions with the paper as if I should just automatically know what to do with the thing. I also received lots of letters from colleges providing me with information. I was going to send their card back to requesting more but I was afraid to because masturbation + Dungeons and Dragons doesn’t look good under Extracurricular and/or Athletic Activities . . . maybe I can put down blogging or acquire some activities in the mean time.

Cassie asked me to buy a Love-o-gram for her for Valentine’s Day. I was embarrassed because I felt I showed my true colors. I was extremely stingy because it was only 50 cents and I didn’t want to part with it. Later when I agreed I couldn’t think of anything to write that was 30 words or more so I folded it up and took it home with me thinking I could turn it in later. Wrong, today was the last day. I already told her it would be in the newspaper, she’d be disappointed. I hope she meant it as a friend thing and isn’t really interested in me, I think she deserves better. I couldn’t handle the idea that I had broken someone’s heart, though I’ve done it to several people in the past, I just didn’t think someone should be in a relationship if they aren’t ready or willing. I could easily be in one with Cassie though, she’s cute and cool but I don’t think that really matters. If female minds are as fickle as I fear they may be she may have just decided I wasn’t worth her time. That’d be easier for me I guess.

I love blogging, just think of all the famous TV people who have typed computer journals in the past; Dougie Houser, Carrie Bradshaw and all the great Star Trek Captains. Ok, so they spoke to their logs, but I don't own the Point and Speak application.

Rants and Raves of a Non-Raver: "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln Happy Thursday everyone, today started off pretty shitty, yes it rhymes, because I found out that I had a French homework assignment due that I for some reason forgot about. It was one of those easy ones that you know all the answers to but get zero points anyway because you are forgetful. I would have preferred to have tried and failed! Physics was phun though, we had a ton of problems to do but momentum is perhaps the easiest chapter.

It got better though when I found a "bomb" in a stall in the men's restroom. It was actually just a bunch of paintball CO2 cartridges with wires stuck together with electrical tape. There was a note taped to the toilet that read "This is a bomb. It will explode at noon." Funny stuff, Rudy found it and later reported to security. Meaning that the school-cops and a crowd of curious boys (myself included) paraded down the hall into the bathroom to check it out.

Later that day we had The ROC assembly where STUGO members dressed in their fancy dresses and tuxedos paraded candidates down the aisle of the auditorium and introduced them. I always mused how funny it would be if as one of the chosen female nominees was sitting down the guy would yank the chair out from under her. Or if just a random guy in the audience just walked on stage and took a seat. The expectations of over 2,000 people concentrated on one event can have a powerful mind altering affect on even the most independent of us. I tried to but I could feel their eyes and thoughts boring into me as I approached the stairs to the stage and eventually returned to my seat defeated. When it came time to vote, I honestly didn't know any of them well enough to choose so I just colored in the rectangle that said "DO NOT MARK IN THIS AREA" my teacher seemed annoyed by this.

After the assembly the snow returned with a vengeance, I believe this is what they call a whiteout. The snow fell continuously for hours adding inches to those all ready piled on the ground. When I got home my dad guilt tripped me into shoveling the driveway, I know he doesn't think I do enough around the house. In the process my snow shovel broke in half and I came up with the ingenious (sarcasm can be difficult without tone of voice) idea to just flatten the snow with my car and make a ramp up the drive. I had never driven with snow or ice on the ground before so I had no freakin' idea how hard it would be to get up the hill. I tried everything to free the stuck wheels. In the end a guy pulled up next to me in a rusted truck with a snow plow on the front and offered me help for a price. I recognized the man. He ran the lawn care service for our neighborhood during the not-so-cold months but he probably didn't live in the area himself. He told me that none of my other ideas would work and eventually I would have to just shovel the drive and stop being lazy. I had a replacement shovel in the garage but I really didn't want to spend the next two hours moving snow so I decided to try and take the easy way out. He was right, of course. My old car certainly did not need the stress of trying to get it up the hill. Everytime I depressed the accelerator I could smell something burning. After a while I finally shoveled a narrow path just wide enough for the tires and drove in. To think I used to enjoy snow. . . what's fun about freezing your nuts off (literally the things felt numb) and getting frostbitten hands?

"007, Loger Moore! Lat Pack. Lip your stocking?"
Today seemed to go by very slowly. I enjoyed the movie Lost in Translation though, Bill Murray is one of my favorite actors. Okay the first time I posted this I was way too tired to comment further but now I was. I thought this was a great movie, ever since reading an article in some science magazine about the confusion with the letters "L" and "R" I thought about how funny such situations would be. Toys L Us, lol. At first I couldn't remeber where I had seen Scarlett Johansson, then I remembered it was in Ghost World. I wouldn't say that Bill and she had chemistry but they were cute together, plus she had a really nice butt. I was hooked on the movie by the first scene lol. Their relationship reminded me somewhat of mine with Meg. Lost in Translation was very funny, but differently funny than Ghostbusters or Groundhog Day. It was no where close to Ghost World. I give it 7.5/10, way to go Sofia.

"Today is a good day to die." - Little Big Man and Star Trek: First Contact
Today went well, it started off with us making crepes in French 3. I didn't know if they were pronounced crepes (like steps) or crepes (like drapes) in the end I gave up and said "Who gives a crepe" Next I had fun chatting with Meg about the Super Bowl, how she wanted the panthers to win because their mascot was cooler, and how I watched The Matrix and did homework instead of watching at all. She showed me her latest artistic creation a pink bracelet. In 6th hour we got the result on our physics tests back. I got a B, very good for me. In 8th hour we watched Dances With Wolves, good movie. As I was leaving the school I saw a girl struggling to get stuck chex mix out of the vending machine. I used my patented-(okay so it's not really patented) simultaeneous-dual-knock to free it. As she was leaving I took the chance to admire her freshman figure. Jon called me "the Wolf from those old cartoons." The U.S. Army just called me mid sentence, but hung up before I got to the phone. . . wonder what they wanted?

Groundhog Day

Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed.
He turned over slowly and then he said,
"I wonder if spring is on the way,
I'll go and check the weather today.
If I see my shadow between eleven and noon,
I then will know that I'm out too soon.
I'll crawl back in bed for six weeks more,
Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore.
But if no shadow gives me a scare,
I know that spring is in the air,
I'll wake my friends and wish them cheer,
With glorious news that spring is here."

Wow, thanks canteach.ca that was the most splendiferus song ever. Remember the movie Groundhog Day? (one of my favorites of all time!) Well I guess I'll have plenty of time to watch it seeing as how all the public schools here were canceled due to the snow that cane in last night. Wow it is everywhere it even covered the old tracks we had made in it yesterday. I haven't seen this much snow since I was a little kid. On a much sadder not, Screech from saved by the bell will die. We all die, I'm just sorry to say that one day I'll read in the newspaper that the only loveable character from that god awful TV show died in his sleep or from a heart attack, look forward to this in 2050. Well I must stop typing now as my capal tunnel is worsening.

Chicken or steak Quesadilla
Yum yum I speak japanese so you like it (this is kind of an inside joke, you may or may not understand)
Today cold winds from Canada made snow fall in north east Kansas. the big white flakes have been falling steadily since this morning. My mom and step-dad made a snow man complete with K-State hat, carrot nose, and Charcoal eyes. (I guess no one, besides me. Plans to bar-b-que in the winter) I wonder what my real father is doing today, probably watching the super bowl My little-step sister helped as long as she could until she got cold and hungry and came in for lunch. I helped her make a sandwich while she picked out what she wanted from the refrigerator. Ham, American cheese, on white bread with a ton of mayonnaise. I thought it was gross, I would have used smoked turkey, Swiss and a little Dijon mustard on whole wheat or French bread; but to eachs own. I don't have much experience with little kids, for 17 years I was always the youngest now it is different. Maybe that is why it surprised me when every time she tried to do something on her own she almost made a mess or injured herself. I was independent at that age, and never had many problems. Most days I could be trusted to left at home with out a babysitter and sometimes I would clean when I was there. When she couldn't get the plastic top off the mayonnaise she tried everything from scissors to the electric turkey carver. YIKES! then when she did, instead of using a regular knife to spread the Mayo on she used a serrated edge steak knife. I asked her about this choice of utensils and she just shrugged. Some how food managed to get everywhere and when she tried to help clean afterwards she just made things worse by spreading the mess everywhere. Sigh, if I have kids I'm not sure how I'll survive the experience. watching her eat made me flash back to when I was her age. How at lunch we used to trade stuff like Capri-sun flavors. How when it snowed outside we would build forts and have snow ball fights and how sometimes TY, Rob and I would play with the Star Wars toys and say they were on the planet Hoth at echo base. later today I'm going to tie Rocky to the red plastic sled and use him as dog sled. After work, I'm studying for a U.S. History test about Industrialization, railroads, and the uses of oil. Think about all the stuff we have in our homes today. I could probably make a lot of it with the right tools and components, but it's difficult to imagine having to wait weeks or months for me to finish my refrigerator or TV. It's great to be able to buy the stuff right from the store or over the internet. Already made by an assembly line of people or some completely automated process. Many cars are made with the assistance of robots now. This was one of my more unusual posts...
