I have averted the greatest disaster ever

Well ok, not quite, but I am passing Calculus and fervently working towards a B (and then an A) wow, November 2nd was a long time ago. Since then I have been to the great American desert (Kansas to be specific) to spend time with extended family, I've gotten grounded, been ungrounded, taken to many tests and seen a very good sci fi show (supernatural: a ghost-hunter type tv show from the Sci-Fi channel) and well other than that, I'm getting ready for what could be the new greatest disaster ever: finals. However after that we'll say hello Christmas-time ^.^

Cool Dragon Fable short

This video was made by the producers of Dragon fable and is rather cool and I'm trying to put it in right here. If that fails go to http://video.battleon.com/

3 days left

whee-hee-hee 3 days left to rot my brains out because I'm out of school :) I suppose I need to get my homework done at somepoint though. I've rediscovered a nifty little game and it's offspring on the internet. battleon.com is home to the games Adventure Quest, Dragon Fable, and a few minigames. Christmas is coming :) well eventually, we have to go through that bothersome month of November and Thanksgiving :\ meh, I'll live: I always do. Happy not-really-a-holiday-but-it-should-be :)

life's wierd like that

I was tired this morning, just tired, not really stressed. At about 11 I got really stressed, and then I got really happy at 2:30ish. I wonder if everyone is like that. Now I feel different, not worse, just different. It's kind of a mix of contentment and some other stuff. I feel like writing a lot, not going back to school tomorrow and just writing, like I could write till time ends. All well. Life's wierd like that I guess. I'll probably be my normal self again tomorrow, or the day after. Night to all you folks out there.

Almost a week, almost done

Well, It's been a little more than a week since last post and I'm almost caught up with my homework: just nasty calculus. Yes yes, it's an integral part of higher math but that doesn't keep it from being hard. Although I had a wonderful time avoiding my homework this weekend: I spent friday-saturday at a friends house. We stayed up till indecent hours (well rather we stayed up through indecent hours into the decent ones) playing worms world party, some wierd mod of civilization 2, watching sci-fi (I envy you people with cable/sattelite) channel and watching the first few discs of Smallville season 1. That's kind of a cool show. Well I'm going to go be even more dilligent in avoiding my homework till tomorrow: because I don't have school then :)

Ironic: I've been SWAMPED

I've not been typing for a while. obviously there's a reason for this: i've been swamped by homework. I've never had to do this much work for class so although it's a nice experience as it means i'm being challenged, it means I have much less time for extracurricular activities such as blogging :) The most taxing subjects have been physics and calculus and occaisionally spanish II. I hope to have my workload completely under control next week and will try to type more regularly after that :)
good luck with your own endeavors, all you people out there.

Uh-oh, I don't think the school started excuse will cut it

Hi everyone. I realize there was a very large gap between this post and last. While I can blame some of it on friends and a little on school, in reality the blame lays mostly on me for forgetting to type. So what has happened between then and now: I've played Dnd with my friends, started school again, and procrastinated on many things that should already be done (such as the homework I should be doing right now). I'm doing fine and I hope everyone else is to. I will not be online enough likely, aside from email and this with the occaisional sidetrack to find music but life goes on I suppose.

wow, Canada is wierd

Yeah um, if the U.S. was a program for a computer, Canada would be like that program except: It would be written in some wierd obscure programming language that even geeks haven't heard of, It would have 2 language options (English and French) and instead of asking if you want ketchup for your fries, they ask if you want gravy o.O Yeah, well, I'm back in the U.S.. Well, I'm gonna go vegg out on Guild Wars for a while so ummm, happy summer-vacation-ness to all you peoples :)

Brown can be pretty

owww... I sat down to write this but then I thought something was wrong so I went down stairs to check from a different computer. (The font I'm using looks different in Ubuntu than it looks in Windows) I am apparently not licensed to use stairs because I managed to fall down them stubbing two toes. Anyways: After the Fourth I no longer had to crawl into the dusty trailer so since I haven't said it yet: HALELUJAH IT'S OVER! Now why I didn't write this on the 4th I don't know and why I didn't write it the next day will become apparent. Sadly I did not get to light fireworks this year :( the county banned them. But on the fifth we left for that place full of smoke and lacking internet connectivity: My Dad's parent's house. Thankfully I was allowed to hole up in their trailer and avoid both having to be social and the smoke. Anyways I'm back. Now I'm not sure I can call all of this a digression because I never got on topic in the first place but away with the off-topic-ness: Brown can be pretty! Especially if it's the brown on the Ubuntu desktop :) A very pretty picture indeed. Today I have started an attempt to leave the darkside. (for the nongeeks reading: I'm considering using an operating system called ubuntu which is a type of linux instead of windows) Even as I blog the pretty brownness is behind this very window. I can only hope that Ubuntu can hold up to my not so rigorous standards of gaming.

Good hunting to all those whose
escapism has lead them to Guild Wars

Fireworks:good Setup:groan

The sight of flashes, the sound of the bangs, but the smell of the dust? Fireworks are one of man's greatest inventions but setting up to sell them is... well I'll just say I'm nonplussed. 3rd or 4th year I've done it but I've never been the one who has to go crawling for those 5 boxes that are missing: they're not really missing they're just on the (insert prefered expletive here) bottom of the trailer. Oh yeah dust, which is everywhere in there, isn't condusive to breathing if you have allergies. All well I guess I'll just have to light something on fire to take out my frustration :)

good luck to geeks, especially the ones who are pyros :)

Do you people know the meaning of planning?

I'm sorry but having been notified less than 24 hours ahead of time that I was expected to come to a party, being told less than 5 hours before that I need to bring food. When my next 3 hours are planned out and my parents still own my hide meaning the other 2 might as well be planned. Can anyone sympathize with my frustration that when I call and say "hey I might be a little late" I find out it's been canceled? All well, I'll just have to go back to turning into mush in front of my compuker playing worms. Oh and a wise word of wisdom to everyone out there:

Wow, Life is wierd

I'm sure I came on here to write about something but now that I've actually gotten around to writing I've no idea what I originally came to write about. George Orwell was a very odd author or at least his book, 1984, was a very strange book. It is apparently a classic example of "negative utopia." For those of you who've no idea what that is it's the perfect world gone bad. A few recent examples in the movies were Minority Report, I Robot, Island (at least i think that's what it was called, the one with Ewan Macgregor), and AeonFlux. 1984 however has a particularly unique perspective I've never seen in this kind of story. I recomend it if you have the time to simply set everything else aside and read it because it will challenge your brain to some heavy thinking (or at least it did mine).

Bike wrecks stink

I'm sure everyone who has ever ridden a bike knows this, but for those of you who haven't: bike wrecks stink. Sadly they seem to be a requisite part of biking. My earliest memory of riding a bike (still had training wheels) was going down the sidewalk and turning straight into a rosebush. My most recent one was of trying to go up a curb on to the sidewalk. I made it onto the sidewalk but no thanks to my bike: it decided it would rather stay on the street. I managed to scrape up my knee and ankle (right side) pretty bad. Not all is lost though, for biking is not something I need to do for a while. (Even my parents agree with this but they say what I need to be doing is mowing the lawn instead of typing this up)

Well, good luck to all the bike riders out there and good afternoon to all

Hello World (and any aliens who may be reading)

Hey all and welcome to the swamp. Yes there is a lack of trees, water, fog, and well swamp in general but this is my first post so I haven't had time to mess with the visual stuff yet. I'm a geek like many of the people out there online and I'm doing an independent study on web design and this is part of my first assignment although I expect to keep this blog around long after I'm done studying. If a post isn't about my homework or how my dog just dove into my lap and has really sharp claws then the post will probably be about a game or book I'm working on.

Hope it's enjoyable
