Microsoft, Super Bowl, Pokemon, Free Running

Hello.

TODAY: Got up at 9 and did scholarship work until 11 when I went to lunch with Derrick and Lauren. Looked at funny pics here on Nerdfighters until Derrick had to go to work. Bought stuff for my car. Step-dad Dave did a bunch of that stuff for me while I worked on more scholarship stuff, didn't expect him to. Took my scholarship to the post office in Dillions to have it postmarked. Changed my oil, took way longer than it should have cause Dave's tools are kinda crappy for my… Continue

Late Night Ramblings.

Bus trips are silly. It took me nine hours to get somewhere that should have only taken four. Do you know what I could have done in that five extra hours of sitting on buses and in taxis and in bus terminals? Yeah, neither do I. Actually I probably wouldn't have done much at all. Actually I probably got more done on the buses, because I didn't have the distractions of people I know and, of course, the Interwebnetblag. I finished a necklace; that was pretty cool, I guess. I don't usually make… Continue

Blogging. Its a silly thing when you're not a writer, or very creative.

I have always wanted to be the blogging type. I tried, really I did. I wrote some simple things on myspace, I got a livejournal account.... ok well, thats all I did. I just can't seem to find the creativitiy, or the energy to write about my day, or an important topic, even a not-so-important one.

Call me crazy, but I love writing papers for school, and I'm really really good at it. I am not so good, however, at spontaneous, stream of conciousness, or even random ramblings about my… Continue

My 14 month plan

Starting Feb 9, 2009 I will be beginning a 14 month trek to revitalize myself, through gaining employment, enriching my knowledge, upgrading my skills, and improving my health. I will be chronicling this trek through here and will keep everyone updated on my status. I am ecstatic about this, my very last trek before I hit the big 3 0 on April 9, 2010. Hopefully this experience will gain loads of wealthy knowledge and gives me a grip on the correct path to a healthy living style. All I have to… Continue

Literature

So I've discovered that my mother is literature-ly incompetent. And i say that with the all the love i have for her. I've been giving her books to read lately because she has to travel more for her job. So she has nothing to do but read on the airplanes. Well, the last book i recommended was "This Lullaby" by Sarah Dessen, and she said she really didn't like it, because it was all about sex, drugs and alcohol.

It wasn't! That was a backdrop of reality in that book! The whole story… Continue

Dear YouTube,

Dear YouTube,

I am trying to upload a music video I made for Imogen Heap's song "Hide And Seek." I worked really hard on it and I'm finally satisfied with it, but the first time I tried to upload it, you were all, "REJECTED. You're using copyrighted music."

I have made "copyright music" music videos before and never had this happen, so this must be a new thing. I don't know how you've managed to pull this off. Your reasoning behind the "no copyrighted music" rule is… Continue

2 poems.

#1:

what is modern anarchy?

i don't know, but it seems beautiful to me.

#2

believe it or not, i like you a lot.

i wouldn't lie about something like that.

you could be mine, and in our spare time,

we could hang out with our friends and our enemies,

we could make art and reign supreme over the world.

watching the royal tenanbaums

and drinking a glass of champagne

yes it'll be just you and me

and life will be… Continue

The Life of a Tragic Hero

The life of a tragic hero is that of a wounded beast. When we look at a character like Beatty from Fahrenheit 451, we understand why he hates books so badly. He use to be a fanatic for god's sake. But the day they turned his back on him was the day he went mad. The one things he could trust all of a sudden had no answer for him in his time of need. They were useless and therefore they had to go. Beatty isn't the only tragic hero you can think of. Since the time of Socrates there have been… Continue

Does anyone else love Charlie Brown?

Charlie Brown is awesome. I always watch his holiday special but I like reading the comic strip whenever I have a chance. Charle Schultz was an amazing guy (I saw his life story in a documentary by PBS) and it makes me ask how will our generation make their impact?

Previous generations have been known… Continue

Week 10 and 11 (posted on myspace December 7, 2008)

So its almost time for exams (AHH!) and then winter break. I'm completely swamped with homework that I have to make up (Damn you, weak immune system!) and then I have to study for an exam in Japanese and one in Government (I have the grades to exempt government but I've missed too many classes). I think I can exempt historcal reasearch. AP lit is just a take home exam so I'm not really stressed about that.

I am stressed about my to-do list, however.

1) Finish the… Continue

Link to the collab channel I am part of- www.youtube.com/ddofa

I have been soooo busy that I have barely had time to update my blog.

First of-I turned 18 this week! *confetti!*. It was, shall we say, awesome. I spent the day in downtown Richmond with my dad. We went to Chop Suey Twoey...which I think is just called Chop Suey now because the original closed down. *sadface*. For all you non-Richmonders, Chop Suey is a used bookstore. The original store was in what used… Continue

OBAMA GOT ELECTED YAY!!!

Ehem. So the past month has been pretty jokes. As in, VERY. I met John and Hank Green and they are just as awesome in person as they are on their vlogs, if not more. (btw.....Hank's album=nerdtastic!)

I started working on a novel, so far I have written 250 words and have no idea where the story is going. On top of that, I'm struggling to keep my New Year's resolution of reading 50 books...which is the only one I have any chance of actually doing… Continue

Week 6 and 7 (posted November 4, 2008 on myspace)

So it's been two weeks since my last friday blog, on my honor, or I'll be chopped up and made into soup.

And hey, it's Tuesday. ELECTION DAY! Egad. Holy rusted metal, batman!

So, these past two weeks have gone by really quickly. Last weekend, the 24th and 25th, I participated in Fright Night, in which I got my limbs sawed of by clowns multiple times. Figurativly, of course.

I made a vlog!! OMG OMG! It's my second vlog EVER.

Go see!… Continue

Week 4 on Nerdfighters (blog posted October 10, 2008 on myspace)

Aloha oy.

It's time for my Friday blog. I've been to lazy to actually do my first vlog...but I'll get it done, I promise. Eventually!

So. My week. I saw *Euryidice last Friday at the Firehouse Theatre. It was good, my favorite character was the "Lord of da undaworld!"....well, he was a complete douche waffle but the actor who played him was excellent. I didn't even realize until I read the playbill that the same actor played "the man" (No, not THE… Continue
