i wonder,

i hope, but i feel as though my emotional phlogiston levels keep going up, and someday, when someone says something that i'd like to hear, i'll explode.

i might as well become an alchemist while i'm at it.

happy new years!!

do i have a headache? actually,

I've been having some issues with headaches over the past few days.
That's probably a symptom of sitting at the computer for too long, though.

I've also been having this weird throat-congestion thing. it's annoying.

Anyway, none of that is spoiling my Christmas. no way.

yes, and

i've got all sorts of ridiculous computer stories to tell.
actually, it's more like one long contiguous thing, it just feels like multiple ordeals because it took me two days to resolve.

furthermore, i've done something incredibly characteristic of me and the music which i listen to: i've actually gone through my old collection of CDs and started listening to them again.

which leads me to say, i had no idea memories could be so vivid.

fine, here's your sensible title.

i REALLY want to buy a domain. maybe that can be a christmas present. i mean, it's only ten bucks, right? so... we'll see how that goes.

not having homework/studying allows much time for cleaning house.

i MUST get back on track with PHP. must do it.

seriously, how great would that be?

ahhhh.

looks like a nice day out, too.

slaughterhouse

blah.


okay, so, i need to ask a bit of a question;
should i blog here more?
it's a fairly straightforward question.
see, comparing this and the only other page i have that can come close to being called a blog (my xanga), i find it weird because, yeah, i've had this blog for about four fewer months (december 05 - april 06) but this is post number 48 here, whereas the xanga is over 200 posts.

decision?

i've been stiffarming my xanga for some time anyway, so ... yeah.

decemberism

might as well exist, because tons of new stuff has happened to me this month.
it'll continue, too, from what i can tell.

i DO like the music of the Decemberists, for those of you who might be astute like that. i don't really listen to them that often, but they're not bad by any means.

no, i've been listening to Daft Punk. so seriously, what's new?

hmmmmmm...

yeah. i want to graduate school right now. sigh.

foreknowledge

so, yes, aside from this being a typical "i love xkcd" blog entry, this one is probably going to be one that is rife with first-hand applications to my life which illustrate why. if i can find them.

1. (despite the reality that i hate/am terrible at math, i get it, and i know it's true for me.)
2. (minus the "vanilla ice")
3. (might as well.)

siiigh.

there might be more, but I wanted to vent about the coincidences and be done with it.

also, this does not include the dozens of references to Firefly and Serenity, and all the cast members thereof.

electricity

okay, look, since it's now Thanksgiving, I'll write something substantial for once. it's definitely been a good while since I did.

I'm thankful for being with my family when I can be.
I'm thankful for living elsewhere, in a very nice apartment, which I cannot afford.
I'm thankful for friends who help me out and encourage me; they are many.
I'm thankful for the skills God has given me and how I've been using them at school.
I'm thankful for being able to be AT school. (even though I hate it, yes)
I'm thankful for this trusty little laptop I'm writing on.
I'm thankful for just about everything that happens to me, no matter what it is, because the Lord will do whatever he sees fit for my life.

et maintenant...

i wait for my brother to get down here to play Halo with me.
okay, well, here he is.


frankly, i'm ashamed at my lack of reading these days.

hupocrisay

yeah, well

I'm in the radio field. Yes.

I have a rare Moby CD sitting beside me.

I have much to do tomorrow that I KNOW I CAN DO.

But I think I should sleep first.

THINGZ

which i have recently done:
1) last week, "wasted, threw out" my vote for president. i more or less agree, but i still don't like to put it in such negative terms.
2) this past weekend, gone to a party "dressed up" as Sherlock Holmes. I basically wear those clothes a lot of the time anyway, though, sooooo..... yeah. right.
III) last wednesday/this tuesday, passed both my written and on-air tests for being a DJ on my school's radio station. which I am glad about.
4) written another blog entry right here.
e) not written a paper that's due in two days. I shall proceed to try to do that right now.

compare

"Rhinoceros" means "Nose-horn"
"Hippopotamus" means "River-horse"
"Barack Obama" means "Federal-Deficit"
"John McCain" means "Weak-Policy"



this isn't to rag on Rhinos and Hippos and what their names mean, cuz they're pretty awesome.

it never did

so, yeah, business is .... something
i've got stuff to do, man, like, I keep wasting time instead of doing the work that's, i dunno, relevant. or, rather, the work that gets graded.

and now, from the long-lost-heroes-of-childhood-television department:

owwww

i bumped my ANKLE.
which i didn't know could hurt as much as it does. bleh.

and, for the first time in just about seven months:
the Scarf has made another appearance.

After all my experience, you think I'd be able to develop a cure for 'not thinking before acting.'
uuuuugh. or at least, you'd think that i'd somehow manage to not get other people involved in my mistakes, but noooo, none of this is the case.
bah.

toaster strudels manage to solve some short-term problems though.

well, hand me a potato

can you believe it's already been three days since that last post?
i certainly have a hard time believing it.
anyway...

i'm doing homework, internet, now stop tormenting me.

WHOA WHOA WHOA. something substantial.

yes. a week ago today, something crazy was happening. at EXACTLY this time last week, I was in class, but when my mom picked me up, things just barrelled downhill.

first, we stopped to get some coffee. but, she was injured and so we went to see how bad her ankle REALLY was. turns out, she needed a temporary cast. so, I drove for the first time in a few weeks. they also gave her drugs for a nebulizer treatment because she had bronchitis and something that felt like pneumonia.

the next day, my dad, who'd not been feeling great for weeks, decides to let me drive HIM to the SAME place half an hour away to get looked at. he definitely had pneumonia. so, he got some nebulizer drugs too.

during that time, this happened.














I hope they got THAT cleared up.

anyway, that was the highlight of last weekend, I think.

it is.

well, now, we're realizing who the REAL culprits are in this scenario.

I think, that later on in my school career, if I get a car and end up having it on campus, or commute, whichever happens first, I think that, for my spending cash, I'd work at a coffee shop. but NOT a Starbucks. no, there's actually one chain called Saxby's that has locations around here, and frankly, they sound cooler than Starbuck's. They probably also don't charge as much for their products as Starbucks does.

anyway.
I hate some things.

toast.

in a few years, some of this will not matter.
i'm guessing, actually, that a lot of it won't, but, oh well.
hopefully, TV won't suffer the chopping-block to be replaced by radio. that'd be sad.

Really, though,

for some reason, my complexion's been mostly clear for the past few weeks. it's quite odd.
(I've got a bad history with acne.)

I want a Tesla Roadster. it's my impossible dream. everyone has an impossible dream, mine is just to have a Tesla Roadster. or, there are a couple of other ideals that I could call impossible, but, this one's cool and people can relate to it.

Calbalacrab

I did not invent the word you see as the title.

It's going to be night today. I can feel it.
This means that I can dress in long pants and a hoodie and not feel overzealous.

Being the designated driver hasn't been going so well for me so far. haha.
That sounds way worse than it could be, but, trust me, I was thaaat close to messing up all sorts of things.

i had seven faces

my com 224 teacher expects us to just find our assignments by reading the syllabus.
great.

i REALLY love carrying pocket change on my person, it's great.

when will things make sense?

panzer

my blogger profile's full of garbage. I've been on blogger for way more than four months.
I know why it says I was, but it's still a load of garbage.

a Pleasant Massacre

yeah, so, last night, I used up the entirety of a Walmart gift card to get stuff I needed for my apartment. and it only covered half of the stuff, plus a few dollars of stuff my mom wanted. I mean, it was fine, my mom put the other half on credit, so it's not TOO bad, but ... I dunno, I wish I didn't feel so avaricious. or something

Decaturrrrrr

i found out I'll be getting yet another computer, for free.
it's a really slow computer. hence the freeness.
but, it's a desktop, and so getting the hard drive (with XP!!) and the tower for free is a great step. unfortunately, that leaves replacing the motherboard, which can be pricey, but ehh. and at least I already have a screen to work with. but, I hate it, so eventually I'd replace THAT, too.

hey, wow, I'm writing here.

TO SATURDAY:

why do you elude me?
why do I plan to utilise you, and yet you slip through my fingers without even asking?
why?

pretend I'm not ill

in a classically banal move, I've decided to, once again, import this blog to the infamous Facebook, probably just so that I'll have a higher number of notes. bleeeeeeeaaaahhhhh...



so, listening to the end of 'Evil' by Interpol through a set of Sony MDR-V150 Studio Monitor headphones, at full blast, is quite quite intense. although you have to take a break right afterward.
any headphones work, so long as they've got great bass, because there's more bass in that song than any other instrument, not even kidding.

Demerit is always the first light of my day

slackjaw nothing

so, I've recently realized that I love eggs.
fried eggs.
and I also have toast with them, either I dip the toast in the egg yolks as they run out onto my plate, or I put jelly on two pieces of toast and I put fried eggs between them for a sandwich.
my my, I'm such a breakfasty person...

okay well

I'm gonna keep writing on this thing on a more frequent basis.
blalaaaa
so, my dad got a camera for me, and now, I need to pay HIM for it.
so, a job would be really really really nice to have.

Sluuuug

Yeah.
I never stinking WRITE HERE.
basically because it isn't easy to do so.
