Halcyon & On & On

Greetings, dear readers.

I am on the mend! Though I stayed home today, I have come to feel much, much better as the day progressed. I was even feeling well enough to drink three cans of Coke at the youth group. Not much, but it's a start!

Watched Man On Fire today. Holy fuckpiss, is that ever a good movie. But alas, I don't care enough to comment much on it.

Rented Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door again. And by the Gods, I'm going to beat it this weekend! Shouldn't be hard at all. Fuck, I should have time for that, AND hanging out with Rick and playing cool games over at his place. 'cause I'm just that fucking good.

Youth group tonight. Yeah...Andrew forgot his keys. So we were gonna have an 'outdoor' youth group. I would normally be wholeheartedly against this, but he also purchased $75 worth of munchies. Free Coke! So it was pretty good.

Keyboard's fucking up something fierce right now, so entry over.

Until next time,
CURSE YOU, BOB!

Gentle Twilight

Greetings all.

I suddenly feel very hot...I'm sweating, where I wasn't but a moment ago. Interesting.

Anyways, as you may well be aware, I was not at school today. I was home. Sick. Again. Got up around 11, wandered downstairs for a bit of crappy tv. Rented Elektra. I think that's how you spell it...I'm too goddamn lazy to check. It was pretty good. I elected to walk down and get it myself. My mom offered to drive me, or to go down and get it herself, but I wanted fresh air. I. Wanted. Fresh. AIR. I should be fucking quarantined. I am not well. WANTING fresh air? Jesus fuck-my-eye Christ. That last line was a PA reference, btw. Anyways, I wandered down. Got it. Watched it. I quite enjoyed it. Plus she's so fucking hot. Yep. Not enough cool fight-scenes, though. There never are...

When I watch a movie wherein I KNOW there's going to be cool fights, I expect at least THREE good fights. Good ones. As in, not short ones where Blade cuts through everyone in his way without taking a single hit.

But man, the demons they had were so cool. In Elektra. Not Blade: Trinity. Yeah. There were demons after some people. I would be fucking FLATTERED if somebody went through all the trouble of summoning demons to off little old me. That'd be sweet. I wouldn't resist them. Yeah...I decided a while back that I wouldn't resist somebody trying to off me. If they do it right. I think it all started one weekend when I was going to bed at two in the morning. I heard a noise outside as I walked by my door. I wondered briefly if it was a person, and if I should check, but then decided that if it WAS a person, and they were going to go through all the trouble of breaking in here and killing me or whatever, then sure. Why disappoint them if they've gone through all that trouble? Yeah.

Anyways, demons. The coolest demons died early, though...Sigh. There was this one SWEET demon who was fucking huge. And black. He was outside this door, and a guy fired a shotgun through the door, and the big guy was on the other side, and when he looked through the hole, he saw the guy wiping shells of of his front. I mean, even Elektra's blades broke on his skin. Fucking SWEET. And there was this crazy really thin fighting guy. He was cool. There were others, but my mind has stopped caring.

Droooooooooooooooool. Kingdom Hearts 2 screenshots...Fucking BEAUTIFUL.

They have AURON. AURON. Fuck yeah! Man, that game is gonna be all kinds of awesome...I can't wait ^_^

Also, I now have a Gmail account. So if anyone wishes to email me at any time (not that I expect it to happen...), Kataronthemighty@gmail.com. Yeah. Something like that. Kataron was taken, which royally pissed me off. It's MY name. I'll kill anyone that says different. Bitches.

Don't expect me to be at school tomorrow, either. I'm still feeling like shit, and there's a Calculus test that I haven't felt up to studying for, with the migraines and the general illness....So yeah.

I'm done with this entry...And still sweating...

Until next time,
The higher the dice roll, the more erotic it is!

Sweet Surrender

Yo.

Still ill, but I decided to go to school today to catch that play. And that's about all I did...I elected not to go to either my English or programming classes. I told Mr. Kaune beforehand that I wouldn't be there, but I don't like my English teacher enough to put forth the effort of informing her. Yeah.

The play was very good. I quite enjoyed it. But was it worth how I'm feeling now? Not entirely sure. But that's not the play's fault...That's what happened after the play, with the going outside, and the cold, and the God I feel like shit. Yeah.

So, play first. Covered that. During second, I hung out with Ryan and Dave (I finally figured out the name of Ryan's companion! Huzzah!), and had one of the strangest conversations I can recall having. And it only got worse during the common lunch. We added hand gestures suggesting masturbation whilst all the juniors were around. It was fucking hilarious. It would have been funnier if I'd been at all caffeinated, but I'm too sick for Coke. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is when you know I'm really under the weather. I recorded a few of the things we spoke about for later blog rants, but I'm too tired to dig up my notebook. Some of the topics covered include 'Erotic chairs' and 'Dice Fetishes'. We'll go over all that when I'm feeling like my body is not secretly plotting against me.

Common lunch was a fucking whore, too. Dear lord. The only way I'm gonna be seated in the caf ever next year is if I get a second period spare. Mind you, I'd only be in there to spite common lunch and harass juniors. They shall suffer mine wrath! For being...younger than me!

Yeah. After lunch, I wandered over to Tim Horton's with Jared, Beth, Nicky, and Jess. Much fun. We were going to Subway or something, but then Beth decided that we should go to Tim Horton's because it was closer, and I wasn't wearing a coat, and subsequently cold. This and sick don't mix. I'm not entirely sure how to feel about that, actually. On one hand, I don't like having others forced to change their plans because of me. But on the other hand, even the somewhat more limited time in the cold worsened my condition, so I am grateful. But yeah. Then we were back....Well, Zellers first. Then back. I kinda forget what happened next. I recall wandering, Jared, Mitch, and...Dave at some point. Oh, and Kate and Jess. And Beth. Yeah. That's about all I can recall of last period...

My illness seems to get progressively worse as the day goes on. But I'm feeling too shitty to go into much commentary about that right now.

I sleep now.

Until next time,
A swarm of midgets upon thee!

UnderWorld

I am still teh ill.

The run-down of today is horribly uneventful. I was awaken at the appropriate time for me to decide whether or not I would be going to school. I elected to stay in bed. For another four hours. I then went downstairs, watched the end of The Alamo with my brother, who was also sick. We then caught part of Mean Girls while my dad also tried to watch Magnum, but then he went back to work. He kept insisting that I was faking, and made a face at me that always makes me laugh. I hate him for it. Anyways, after Mean Girls, we watched Bad Santa, then I wandered back up to my room to catch Teen Titans. Then we watched Blade: Trinity downstairs.

Yes. A lot of movies today. I am still ill, though. Not particularly pleasant.

I also realized as I crawled out of bed at noon that I was missing the injections today...Oh well.

Anyways, I'm trying to find and download the soundtrack to Hackers, as I heard one of my most favourite songs from it today at the end of Mean Girls. So I must have it. Then I shall sleep.

And as a sort of post-script, but not being after the generic 'Until next time,' message, I SHALL be at school tomorrow. I wanna see that play. So yeah.

And without any further ado...

Until next time,
I once flipped off a midget. It later turned out that he was just a kid.

In Sickness And In Health

Yeah...Not a song name, but it seems appropriate.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am teh ill. I blame my brother coughing on me all weekend, but I not appear to be running a fever. I'm all cold'n shivery, not much of an appetite, and general aches and pains. Plus the coughing, but that's not TOO bad. Yep. So don't expect me to be at school tomorrow. Of course, I should be up 'round a normal time tomorrow, to see if I am recovered enough to attend school, but don't get your hopes up. Wednesday, however, I shall not be missing. I want to see that fucking play. :) So even if I am sick, I shall be there. Yeah.

Also, Mind Hunters. Coming out sometime...Next month? Starring the Dade Dude from Hackers. Me go see it with Jared. Wheeeeeeee. I love him, and I never see him in any movies.

And honourable mention to Dave, newly named 'Dace'. Sweet name.

Anyways, I am the tired. So I sleep. And heal. And dream of sweet revenge. And boobies.

Until next time,
I wish I could explode at will.

Compression Of Time

Excellent.

I now hold four of the seven Crystal Stars. Soon, they will all be mine! And I shall foil some sort of evil plot that I probably should have been paying attention to!

Yeah...Another day of nothing but Paper Mario. Today, I didn't even bother with outside. All in all, during the entirety of Saturday and Sunday, I have been outside once. And that was to acquire Coke and crunchy crunchy cheese-flavoured edibles. Aye.

Shitty weekend, weather-wise. Was unable to jog. Damn rain. And then...Snow...Damn cold.

But it was all good. Because I managed to pretty much match my gameplay yesterday. Which puts my file....I'd GUESS up to about fifteen hours of gameplay. Ah, the times were good. I've uncovered two new characters, as well. One's a Yoshi, which I got to name. I named him Genome. That's also what I name the dog in every Harvest Moon game I play. Then I got a Shadow Siren, a former enemy.

Okay, so I was playing through Chapter 4 on the game, right? And then it was all...'Chapter Complete!' and I was like 'The hell?'. Basically, the chapter was hella-short. I mean, less than half what the last one had been. I was getting rather irritated, and continued on to what I assumed would be the Princess Peach and then Bowser mini-games between chapters. But then it turns out the big bad boss-dude of Chapter 4 had stolen my body. And...my name? So I had to find HIS name to loosen his hold on my body. Easier said than done. I first returned to town, wherein I found the Shadow Sirens. There's three of them. The mean bitch, who is in charge. The fat bitch, who I've only heard speak WORDS once...The rest of the time it's 'Guh!', and the cuter, less evil one. I recruited her to help me find my body. The cuter one. The others had gone off and told her to find something that they lost or she'd be punished. Which was pretty much how it went with them. Mean bitch loses something, blames the other one, punishes the other one for whatever. Yeah. So she didn't know who I was. Mario. The guy they were trying to stop. But I helped her find...a bomb. That the mean bitch had lost. That was going to be used on me. Luckily, it was broken, but she offered to help me find my body, and the other guy's name.

Much adventuring later, I beat up the fake me. And he has my partners helping him. So they got some hurt, too. Yep. Then even after she found out that I was Mario, she joined me. 'cause her sisters were bitches, and I was a super-studly plumber. Well, that's not exactly how she put it, but that's the real reason. Super-studly plumber.

Yep. I have pretty much nothing to say today. I haven't had to use any of my higher brain functions today, as it was entirely video games, and they didn't require much thinking. Well, sometimes, but that was easily remedied with switching characters and trying various tactics. Like...Blowing wind at stuff. That solves a hell of a lot more than you'd think. Yeah.

Oh...

Oh...

OH...

I just stopped caring about this post.

Until next time,
Super-Studly Plumber.

Beginning

*thrust*

That's an adequate post-starter.

Hahahaha. How 'bout a run-down of my day?

I woke up around 11. Played Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door until about 12:30, when I let my bro on. Then I checked webcomics and watched Voyager until about...2? Then I played Paper Mario again. For at least six hours. Straight. With breaks for bathrooming and dinner, but the game was left on during the breaks.

It's a fun game. (Yeah, the run-down is done already).

I only have one real problem with it. Well...Two. They need to make these games more like the old-school Super Mario RPG. Now THAT was a fucking awesome game. In this one, I dislike the fact that there are so few characters, and that you have to switch them around to do certain things. Like, they have special abilities. And it doesn't have real equip-type weapons. You can either jump or hammer in battle. Mind you, you can equip badges, offering you all sorts of different plays on these attacks. Such as...Power attacks, piercing attacks, earth attacks, fire attacks. You get the point. Making it kinda cool, but I still loved the old-school SNES one, where you get the hammer, or the gloves, or the whatever. And then you had all sorts of other stuff for the other characters...Oh, the other characters.

I'll never forget you, Geno. You were my best friend. And I mean, you got Bowser in your party. How sweet is THAT? Pretty fucking sweet! Bowser is a POWER-HOUSE.

Oh, good times. Very good times. Eight hours today I put into that Paper Mario file, and I'm still just getting the second star. Yeah.

Also caught the last 2/3rds or Dark City tonight.

Fuck, that's a good movie.

Watch it.

Anyways, I'm off, because I'm tired and want to watch crappy old movies.

Until Next Time,
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. I get it now.

The World

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Yeah.

Run-down of the day:

Early morning wanderings, generic calculus, generic break, teacher was absent in English, so we had a substitute, and not much work got done, and programming...

Programming today was Mr. Kam's last day. Woe. I shall miss the man. He was a good teacher. A very good teacher. He learned me many things. Of strings and ciphers, of bitwise and binary. Aye, he shall be missed by the entire class.

Yeah. During lunch, I caked. I took Rick, went to Food Basics, and got another cake. Ah, how I love cake. I actually got the idea for cake from the fact that people seem to be doing some sort of cake...WEEK. Blatant rip-off of cake-fest, but meh. I hardly care. It was mentioned today that he whom was supposed to bring the cake did not, and I decided to mock them with a cake of my own. This originally came as just a spiteful and mean idea, but it took shape when James contributed a dollar to it, making my dreams of cake a sweet, sweet reality. Yeah. Had a brief argument (if you can call it that) about Sarah's LJ pic thing. Her pic is the devil. It's a picture of Cid kissing Vincent. FF7 characters. Male characters. Kissing. This is an abomination. It's not that I have a problem with gays. But I have a problem with people drawing shit like that, with straight people being gay. That's just wrong. Vincent was straight, had a wife and everything, that old Lucrecia, and would lose his cool undead appeal if he was gay. I'm sorry to say, but his cool attitude and sleeping-in-coffin-ness would be utterly RUINED if he kissed Cid. That's just how it goes. And it's blatantly ovious that Cid had repressed feeling for Sherry. I mean, duh. He gave up his dream of space-travel to save her life. Fuck yeah he loves the bitch.

But really. I've got nothing against gay people. But to take two people that are very UNgay and make them gay? That's just fucking wrong. That really pisses me off that they'd take two really cool FF7 characters and draw that shit about them. Bastards.

Anyways...

My spare was fun. I was just gonna just sit around and write in the journal all period, but then Kate showed up and wanted to go to Pizza Pizza. This didn't so much interest me, because I had a cake, Coke, and no money for pizza. Then Jared and Nicky walked by, apparently skipping their class. They decided to go with Kate, so went with them. Jared was participating in the thirty-hour famine, with his church, I think, so he gave me money to get pizza, since he couldn't eat any. We hung around and talked, which was a lot of fun. Then we went to a park and hung out more. It was all very fun, Nicky seems to be a pretty cool person, but I don't know her very well. I DO know that if you put her and Kate together, there's a lot of opportunities forme to make very dirty comments. Hell, I didn't even get into 'very' dirty today. I just stuck with dirty. I could have done far worse. Yeah. Quite fun.

When I got home, Rick found himself locked out, so we hung out at my place and watched cartoons. Then we went to rent a game, and on the way back, saw his mom leaving his house, and stopped her long enough to unlock the door for us. Then I played the Sims 2 for a while, and got Public WooHoo, as well as WooHoo in a new hot tub that I bought.

Yeah baby.

Then youth group, which was a lot of fun. Rick and Eric weren't there, for different reasons, so Dave and I hung out all night. Ester was there tonight, which was cool.

But the kids were little fucktards tonight. Being so fucking stupid, and some of them even mooned me at the end of the night. Because Dave and I tried to keep some order in the drop-in. Little bastards. I'll make them all pay.

Yeah. I don't really think there's all that much left to talk about tonight. Justice League is gonna start in a bit, so I'll be doing that...

My plans for the weekend involve sitting around and playing video games. Ah, good plans. If the weather is adequate, I shall jog as well. Yeah. That's my plans.

Anyways, I'm gonna go watch tv, after I talk to Greg about geeky stuff for a while. Maybe another post later. Maybe.

Until next time,
I AM THE KING, DAMMIT! THE KING!

Flames Of Valor

Bah. Stupid valor without the u. I want to change it, but the song has no u. NO U! *cries*

So, the day. I actually had a pretty interesting day today.

It all started in the summer of 1952, with the creation of the world...Yes, folks, the world was created in 1952. You can't disprove it, so shut up. Anyways, A LOT of crazy shit happened, and eventually today rolled around.

It started like any other day. Bus ride. Talking to Eric. When I got to school, I coked and wandered, drinking a bit of syrup. Love that stuff. Although, I was in the middle of a nice long swig, and remebered what it was, and then it didn't taste as good. Sigh.

In Calculus, we were given a new seating plan. I find myself bitter towards the person that is now sitting in my seat. I was moved one back and one left. Well, from the perspective of where I'm sitting. If you're looking from the front of the class, it's one back and one RIGHT. The madness! The only consolation of sitting there is that I have a red chair. One of two NICE red chairs. There's also a less nice one, but it's too dull for me to care about. We learned about...I forget, something else for derivatives. I don't remember the exact name, but it's basically taking the derivative more than once. Pretty cool. Dear Lord. I just said that was cool. That's so utterly pathetic...

During break, I stood around and said 'fuck' a lot, as I contemplated whether or not I wanted to go to English. I think you all know my decision. If you know ME, anyways. Fuck fucking English. We were celebrating William Shakespeare's birthday today, although google told me that it's Saturday, but we're not at school on Saturday, so whatever. We were supposed to have something about either swords of flowers, neither of which I did. Also, we were supposed to have a present. What do you get for a guy who's dead, and whom you've never met? I was thinking cash, but our currency would be useless to him. So I said fuck it, and hung out all period in the caf with Ryan and his companion, whom I don't remember the name of. Huzzah! It was bloody HILARIOUS. I love those guys. In a COMPLETELY heterosexual way, mind you. There's more on that later, as I took a few notes about things I wanted to mention on here. Yeah.

During third, we FINALLy got the cipher but of the program to work. By we, I mean Mitch and Jared, though they did it through a whole shitload of confusing code. DEciphering? No idea how to do that. It's all so confusing, so hard to reverse. Bah! Mr. Kam did in in SIX lines. He is truly a God. A Java God! Praise be to the Java God! I'm really gonna miss him :( I'd like Mr. Kaune to adopt some of his teaching methods. I learned a lot through him.

During lunch, I basically hung around and did nothing. Talked to the generic group of people that inhabits the area that Mitch and I claimed at the end of last semester. Thank GOD for that last day of class last semester, when we skipped classes, and found the new spot. :) Mitch was gone at lunch, left right near the beginning, and Jared had to write the Calculus test he missed yesterday.

During spare, I...Well, I kinda wandered for a bit. I was looking for Kate, but didn't find her until closer to the end of the period. I ended up picking up Ben, and going to Food Basics for cake and Coke. He then returned to wahtever he was doing, and I wandered around with cake. I hung around with Angus, Fat, Jimmy, and some other guy for a bit. The basically just mocked me. But I was too wired to give a damn. Although, I seem to remember that I have to kill Jimmy. Yep.

I love cake. I wandered around eating cake for most of that period. The comments I get are always quite amusing.

Then bus, then home, then Rick's house. We were GONNA play our coolio file with the three of us living together, but Eric went to the bank and never came back, THE BASTARD.

But it's all good. I made a new character in another town. Same as Eric's type in our house, the romance-aspiration slacker. It's fun-tastic. All they care about is relationships and sex. They should have just called it a sex aspiration. But I guess they gotta sell it to younger kids. So they can't do that. That's why sex in the Sims is 'WooHoo'. My sim had WooHoo with two different females so far. There'd be three, but it turns out you can't have WooHoo with somebody in a lower agegroup...I swear, I didn't know she was just a teenager. She was dressed so slutty and hawt. She came over to my house and insulted me, without saying anything else. I knew I had to have her. But it's not exactly working. After a while, I gave up, called a girl I was at a 50 relationship with, made her fall in love with me, and had sex with her. Good times. The real 'Romance' stuff is in the family aspirations, which are all about having a big family. One of the FEARS for the romance aspiration people is to get engaged. It's funny.

Yeah.

I'ma go grab my notebook, to see what I wrote down to rant about.

*goes and grabs the aforementioned notebook*

Ah, yes. Hitler.

QUESTION! Would YOU wear Hitler's sweater? I mean, if you had the opportunity to wear Hitler's sweater, would you? Please note that you do NOT have the option of just selling it. People said they'd just do that. I wanted to know if they'd WEAR it. Ryan asked me this today. Said it would offend some people. I thought it was absolutely hilarious. And hell yeah, I'd wear Hitler's sweater! That'd be like wearing a piece of evil history.

It was decided today, by the triumvirate of caf table Gods (Ryan, myself, and Ryan's companion), that it was actually Hitler's sweater that made him evil. Whether or not he actually wore one is irrelevant. It's the itchy german fabric that made him hate the Jews. Yep. That's it. The sweater is responsible for the murder of all those people. DAMN YOU, SWEATER!

It was also decided that Bob is, indeed, Hitler. Yep. The guy that fucked my girlfriend is Hitler. For no other reason than because he fucked my girlfriend. I bet he has Hitler's sweater stashed away somewhere. HIS sweater. YOU BASTARD!

Right..What's next on the list? AH! The rainforest!

You know what? Fuck the rainforest. What's the rainforest done for ME? I asked that in class, and somebody, one of them nature-savy environment club peoples, said that the rainforest did a lot of things, but I remember no specific examples. I'd assume oxygen and the like, but feh.

What has the rainforest done for ME, SPECIFICALLY? And lately? Hrm? Why the fuck should I care about it?

Oh...Oh...Stopped caring.

NEXT!

Ah! The Code! Yes! HUZZAH! REMEMBERANCE!

Right...THIS was my code for the user menu:

import java.io.*;
public class UserMenu
{
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
{ BufferedReader keyboard = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader (System.in));
int UserSelection;
System.out.println("******************************************");
System.out.println("* Menu Program *");
System.out.println("******************************************");
System.out.println("* *");
System.out.println("* 1. Create New File *"); // This is a pointless comment. System.out.println("* *");
System.out.println("* 2. Open File *");
System.out.println("* *");
System.out.println("* 3. Exit Program *");
System.out.println("* *");
System.out.println("******************************************");

System.out.println(); System.out.print("Please input selection now: ");
UserSelection = Integer.parseInt(keyboard.readLine()); // Gotta parse that int.

if (UserSelection == 1)
{
String newfile;
String textism;
System.out.println("Please input a name for the new file.");
System.out.println("(Note: .txt will be added to the file name automatically)");
newfile = keyboard.readLine();
System.out.println("\nWhat text would you like this file to contain?");
textism = keyboard.readLine();
FileWriter write = new FileWriter(newfile + ".txt");
PrintWriter printwrite = new PrintWriter(write);
printwrite.print(textism);
printwrite.close();
keyboard.close();
}
else if (UserSelection == 2)
{
String FileName;
String content = new String();
System.out.println("Please enter the name of the file you wish to open.");
System.out.println("Please Note: .txt will automatically be added to whatever you enter.");
FileName = keyboard.readLine();
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(FileName + ".txt"));

while((content = input.readLine()) != null)
{
System.out.println();
System.out.println(content);
System.out.println();
}
}
else if (UserSelection == 3)
{
System.out.println("Thank you come again.");
System.exit(0);
}
else
{
System.out.println("ERROR!!11!");
}
}


YERG. Please excuse the horrible horrible horrible utterly FUGLY formatting there. That's just...bad. Please, if you have any questions about the code, ask, and I'll try to make you feel as dumb as possible with my reply :)

Next on the list...Ah, A Romance Novel. I'm going to write one on here, and it's going to be the cheesiest thing in the history of forever. And it's going to be very dirty. Gonna be fun to write. Yeah. No idea when I'll be doing that.

Also...Ah yes. Pant Cake. We were talking about some sort of party, and a conversation arose about how people should go to a party where they don't know the people, eat a bunch of the cake, stuff some in their pants, and then loudly proclaim "I HAVE CAKE IN MY PANTS! DOES ANYBODY WANT ANY PANT CAKE?!' Ah. Beautiful.

Next on the list...Mime Time. That's what it says. I VAGUELY rmemeber this being mentioned, but yeah. Fucking mimes. Duncan wanted to make a game called Mime Sweeper, where you just shoot mimes. I think that'd be great. Damn mimes.

Next is...Litter. Ah yes. They had that stupid litterless lunch thing today. I made a point to litter more than I normally would have. Things need balance. It was stupid and pointless anyways. One day with SOME people having litterless lunches and getting out of class will not make any effect. Especially with spiteful people like me around littering extra! Take that, stupid pointless thing!

And last, a short rant. About loud music. I mean, I love music. I can understand wanting to listen to it loudly. I listen to my music pretty damn loudly. But there was one guy walking around earlier that had his music on so loud that I could make out the words from a distance away. Get some fucking earbuds or something, man. That's just being an ass. My headphones aren't very powerful, making it harder for me to do shit like that, but if everything's quiet, then you can hear my music. But this guy had his headphones on his head, not on his ears, just blasting shitty shitty rap music. Bastard.

Anyways, I'm fucking tired.

As a final note, I would like to say that I hope my blogger friend Miss Slow has a full recovery from her infected...ankle, is it? I forget. Anyways, if you read this, get well.

Until next time,
As a member of the triumvirate of caf table Gods, I have quite a few godly stories. Involving guns. And drugs. And hookers. The perfect combination.

Tears Of The Moon

Hiya.

Righty-o, let's start the way we always start, shall we? A run-down of my day. My oh-so-entertaining day.

Wandered this morning. Surprise, surprise. Calculus test, TOTALLY bombed it. And I mean, I didn't just do bad. My mind was going every which way on mental tangents. I had a ten to fifteen minute argument with Jared, in my head, about guilt. I played with calculator functions for another twenty minutes. I started at my watch for about five.

Yeah. My mind was completely shot. I couldn't pay attention at all.

During second, I entered the classroom to discover that we were going down to the music room to listen to some medieval music. It was pretty cool. Especially since I despise that class with a fiery passion. Tomorrow we're celebrating William Shakespeare's birthday, although I'm fairly certain it's not his birthday, but we're not in class when it is...Or something. I'm supposed to dress up and bring a present. Fuck that.

During third, well....It was programming. Mitch was absent, so it was decided early on that we would be changing roles. Matt became the new Mitch, Ben became Matt, and I became Ben. Jared stayed where he was. Yeah. As to actual work, we didn't accomplish all that much. Yeah.

Lunch was...feh. Jared was being the evil bastard he is with his stupid Written At Ross. I'm still bitter about my Elf-Song being rejected. It was a good song, god damn it. Bashed those pointy-eared pricks quite well. Good times...Anyways, I ended up spending the first portion of lunch sitting around on my own. While sitting around on my own, I attracted the pity of both Rachel and Emma, who came over and asked me just why I was sitting all on my lonesome. Emma even invited me for some cake, as I believe today is her birthday (happy birthday Emma, though I doubt you read this), but I said no, as it's probably all vegan-friendly and crap. I hate vegan foods. But yep. Being alone attracts pity. I could try to work this into the experiment...Anyways...After a while, Devon, Scott, and the other one showed up, and I ended up talking with them all lunch.

During spare, I was going to sit around and work on the journal, but Kate found me and wanted to go on 'an adventure'. This involved finding Teddy, and then Tommy, and going to Shopper's Drug Mart, and...

Oh, for Fuck's sake! FUCKING COMPUTER. Fucker crashed, and I just lost half this fucking post. So you know what? Fuck it. You people don't give a shit about what happened to me during the day. Let's get into the ranty shit, that's why you're here.

FIRST OFF.

420. Stupid fucking holiday celebrated by shitheads. EVERYBODY that celebrated this holiday in ANY WAY is a complete shitstick. Yeah. if you celebrated this shitty excuse for a holiday, then just fuck off. You're a moron. Go fucking die, you stupid pot-smoking shit-fucker.

It's a horrible excuse for a holiday. Not that those fuckwits need an excuse to go get high. You wanna get high? FINE. Go be a stupid fuckwit, nobody fucking cares about you or your stupid fucking holiday. All this holiday is, is an excuse to smoke pot.

So fuck you, anybody that celebrated it. Just fuck you.

Second, and even MORE irritating.

Many thanks to AwesomeLord for mentioning this and raising it to my attention.

Any nerd that plays MMORPG's is aware of people that will sell things on there for real money. If you look, you can find anything from rare items, to money, even character accounts, for the right price. Yeah. And yeah, people WILL pay for this shit.

Anyways, SOE is quite aware that people are doing this on EverQuest 2, and they've decided to set up something to REGULATE it. And by regulate it, I mean they're setting up a site where this can all be done officially. A site or something like that, but people will be able to buy and sell stuff off there, THROUGH THE HELP of the game company. How fucked up is that?!

Okay, this stuff never belonged to you, why the fuck should you make money off of it? Big fucking deal if you had to hang around an area for a while to get the item. You still did nothing that's worthy of you getting money. Did you design it? Did create this item? Did you program it? FUCK NO. So why the fuck should you earn money off of it? You fucking shouldn't.

I honestly don't know which is worse, the people that sell this shit, or the people that buy it.

Let's review, shall we? These are VIDEO GAMES. What do you do with video games? You fucking play them. They're supposed to be fun, they're supposed to be challenging. Otherwise, what's the fucking point? Yet here we have people that are just skipping a lot of the playing aspect. If you're not going to fucking do this stuff for yourself, then why the fuck are you playing the goddamn game?! You don't deserve to be playing the game. In my opinion, you don't even fucking deserve to live, you pathetic little excuses for gamers.

I can understand how some fuckwits would want to buy items or money. They can be a bitch to come across. But that's party of the fucking game. You're probablythe same fuckwits that look up cheats for games before even trying them. The same fuckwits that should be shot in the face.

What I DON'T understand is buying characters. Why the FUCK would you buy a fucking character? There you go, just throwing away the gameplay. What's the fucking point, if people have just done all the fucking work FOR you?! You've just skipped all of the gameplay for having a high-level character that you don't know how to use. Congrats. You're a fuckwit.

Anybody that gets ripped off from people selling these characters on unregulated means fucking deserves it. They deserve to be ripped off. They're failures. Hell, you're lucky I don't know who you are. I'd probably beat you. With a large object. Maybe a baseball bat, but more likely something sharp.

But Sony's just bending over and fucking taking it. Here you go, if you don't wanna work, then you can buy your characters and items here, without fear of getting ripped off! Fucking stupid. These companies are just too lazy to deal with these problems. So they find cheap solutions.

Yeah. I'm pretty fucking pissed off right now, mostly 'cause I had most of that ranting done when my fucking piece of shit computer crashed. The Recover post feature only saved about half of it. Plus everything I'm talking about really pisses me off. Goddamn fucking druggies, and those stupid asswipes that buy shit for these games.

GRRR.

I want them all to die. Die very painfully.

Ah, here's something downright funny. That makes me less pissed off.


Okay, we all know Intel and AMD right? Rival companies, makin' the processors and all that? Intel is the more famous, though AMD is better if tweaked, or so I'm told.

ANYWAYS, Intel recently hosted an awards thing for computer stuff, and AMD won the best processor award. Well, the 'Best CPU Manufacturer'. Yeah. That's fucking hilarious. There was a lady from Intel there giving out the wards and such, and she announced the AMD one last, and walked off the stage instead of staying and giving them their award in person.

Oh, the irony of it all just just delicious.

I'm going to bed.

Until next time,
I will smite you all. Smite you good.

Trail Of Blood

I set a new title thingy on here. Something about the innerworkings of my mind and pr0n. Oh, pr0n.

THE RUN-DOWN:

Generic beginnings, wandering morning, Calculus, more boring Englishness. Programming was programming. Really, it's all just happening the way it happens every day. Not much noteworthy.

During Spare, I took down more people in the journal, although I left the normal one at home, and had to make due with my Calculus notebook. But there's no way in hell I'm gonna fill that whole book by the end of the semester, so it's all good. I went to the bathroom at some point, and on my way back, encountered Rachel, whom I walked around the school with, because her back was hurting and she couldn't sit on those godawful stools in the science rooms.

I fucking hate those stools.

But I hit 100 entries in the journal today! HUZZAH! Well, 107 in all. Good stuff. It's fun.

Whence I got home, I didn't. I went over to Rick's, and started a character on the Sims 2. Rather interesting game. A lot better than the original one. But it will grow old. Rick and Eric have characters that are living together, and I started mine to get him to move in with them. We're going to take my money, and their money, and move into a bigger house, as we're both in identical houses. Small ones. Yeah.

And I went jogging again. It's becoming a daily thing. Jogging. I was able to jog noticably longer than before, too. Hell, on the way back home, I wanted to jog more, so I did a lap around the field at the Rockwood school. Well, most of a lap, then Paddy stopped me and spoke to me for a bit. I saw him yesterday too, in the cons. I'm trying to get fit. 'cause I'm not right now. But I'm also unwilling to give up my bad habits of junk food and caffeine. But meh, if I can lose a bit of weight and have some stamina, I'll be quite pleased. Once I've accomplished that, I might start working out in other ways. Biking, pushups. Anything that I can do when I just have a bunch of free time. Which I do, a lot. Yeah.

Anyways, there's something that's been bugging me today.

Fate was brought up in my English class, and it made me think. I should have been paying attention to the rest of it, but this seemed more important.

Are our lives all pre-determined? Are we just living through our lives like actors going through scenes, all scripted beforehand, nothing real? I don't like this thought. I would like to have at least a margin of control in my own life. Now, I know that some people would find comfort in believing that they're acting on...I dunno, God's plan or whatever, and whatever happens happens because he wants it to, etc etc, but that still bugs me. I mean, I don't want my life being controlled by some divine being. If it's really controlled like that, then do we have ANY free choice at all? Or are we just going through the motions, pre-planned for us?

Some might say that we have some control over our own lives, but we're still following a plan. That maybe only the important things are planned, how we get there is up to us. But this still leaves us with no REAL freedom of choice. I mean, what does it matter how we get there, as long as we get there? Sure, some ways might be shorter, longer, more pleasant, but we'd still end up in the same damn place. And even if there were alternate paths we could go down, depending on our actions, then it makes life one big choose-your-own-adventure book. Set endings and main story points, but with the illusion of control.

And another thing about fate, what about people that believe they're 'meant to be' with somebody? Are they really, or are they just saying that to try to feel good about themselves, and their relationship, and make it seem like the relationship is actually important?

Bah.

I want to control me. Otherwise we're all just Sims. I don't want to be a Sim.

Yeah...That's pretty much the rant tonight. Sorry it's not much, but I was out jogging, and then a Jet Li movie was on...Still is. I just watched him totally own some hulking moron. 'twas funny. And when he shoved the guy's gun into his pants earlier, and fired! HILARITY! He shot him in the junk! Har har har!

Until next time,
I hope nobody shoots me in the junk. I'm rather attached to my junk. That is to say, it's quite attached to me.
~Kataron

Double-Post MADNESS!!!

Yeah...This entry got double-posted, but both posts were commented, so if you wish to see how the comment to this post makes sense, read the below 'Trail of Blood' post.

And shut up, Greg. I'll predestinize you in a minute.

I would have noticed that this entry was double-posted earlier, and fixed it, but my computer crashed a couple minutes after I got it posted, and I was informed of my double-postage the next day.

I hate the French.

Until next time,
Seriously. Damn snail-suckers.

Yay for Katamari Damacy 2 screenshots!

Short post.

Until next time,
I was right and you were wrong, I'm gonna sing the I-was-right song! I was right and you were wrong, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah!

Not Alone In The World

awwwwww yeah baby.

That seemed somehow...appropriate. Don't ask me why. Please, oh please, don't ask me why.

Run-down of today.

Ah yes, to begin, Eric sat in my spot on the bus. I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU. I summarily sat with him. MY seat. I've been sitting in that goddamn seat for four fucking years, it's mineminemineminemine. Near the front of the bus, second seat on the right. That's MY seat.

I have also declared Monday mornings to officially be...AN EMERGENCY! Hence the consumption of Artificial Cherry Flavour #1223. Although some people would disagree. During my morning wanderings, I stopped by Erika's locker, talked to her for a little bit, and she asked me not to drink the syrup. So I left and continued to consume my precious elixer of life.

Calculus was Calculus. It usually is.

English was boring. I'm gonna post a poem on here at some point and go over it. It's about dying love. I'm not fond of poetry, but I do enjoy watching love die and people suffer. One might say it's a hobby of mine. Aye.

Programming was fun. I added a bit to my menu program, not that it does anything yet. I have to wait for the encryption program before I can syncronize things with it, so that it works right. I figure I do whatever I can on my own, then force Jared to do it, as Mitch has almost completed the section of the program that Jared was gonna do. So yeah. And Jared's taken the damn course before, after all.

In spare, I got another twenty-four entries into the journal. I'm up to sixty-one. w00t.

When I got home, I Budokia'd for a bit, then brought it back, and went for a jog. It was fun. I like jogging. I walked for about half of it, though. Still, jogged for a while, and DIDN'T vomit this time. w00t. Thank God for my discman, to keep me entertained during all that. I loves it. It's my baby.

Anyways, that's my day. It's a Monday, what the fuck do you expect?

I'm gonna try to jog more now. I'm gettin' fat, I don't like that. Gotta lose some weight. Gotta look good. For the ladies. I likes the ladies.

You know, I tend to jog harder when there's ladies around. I mean, if I'm going to make any impression at all, I'd rather be seen jogging by than staggering and panting. Yep.

Right, so apparently there's some mergers announced today. Adobe is buying Macromedia. You know, Macromedia Fireworks, and the flash one? And Adobe Acrobat reader? Yeah, they don't work on my compy, but meh. Also, GameSpot is buying Electonics Boutique. Sniff. I love EB. I hope it doesn't change too much...But yeah.

Just figured I should let you all know.

Unfortunately, that's about it for nerd news tonight. A pity, as that's my favourite kind of news.

So let's jump to webcomic discussions. So, Tycho's taken over Penny arcade, hopefully just temporarily. I mean, I loved his comic today. It was hilarious. Abso-fucking-larious. I don't care if that didn't make sense. But yeah, the art sucked something fierce. If this goes on, I think PA is going to lose some popularity, and I don't want that to happen. I loves it. I mean, Tycho's stuff is good, but it's not the kind of thing that appeals to everybody. A lot of people just aren't smart enough. I mean, look at what we've got populating the world now. A bunch of fucking morons. Espcially Americans. Dumb shitstains. Yet they have the nukes. If I had a nuke, I bet people would take ME fucking seriously. Yeah.

I caught up with Questionable Content last night, which was quite sad. It's a very good webcomic. Google it if you wanna check it out, my compy's lagging like a bitch, so I don't wanna link to it right now. Good stuff, though.

Squidi's getting interesting, with the story-line they're in the middle of now. Tonight's post was pretty cool. Morris reminds me of Jared when he's not crazy. When Morris isn't crazy, that is to say. Aye. I'm quite liking the author's less comedic approach to the webcomic now. There aren't enough story-based webcomics that I read, that are actually original instead of stealing shit.

Dominic Deegan and Squidi are the best I read in the regard. But man, is Dominic Deegan ever a crazy strip. It started off kinda so-so, with just random seer humour, but then when it hit it's first story line, BAM! It was fucking awesome. Which led to many, many more...I tell you, even if you've read every strip, more than once, you still won't know just what's coming up next. It's fucking crazy, the author sticks so many plot twists and the like in there. And it totally works. Right now, there's about four different battles going on. Dominic vs. Celesto, Helixa vs. Luna, Milov vs. the InfernoMancer, Dominic's father and Jayden vs. Jacob and his unnamed monstrosity. I can't help but wonder where Gregory is in all this. I mean, I know he just recently saved a village from some big bads, but I figure he should at least be on his way to get in the big fight, right? With all his kuh-razy magics, he could pwn Jacob something fierce. Especially since his big bro Jacob is a Nercomancer, with a special vulnerability to the holiness that Gregory so possesses.

Great strip.

Nuklear Power, with 8-bit Theatre, just wrapped up a story-line, and are moving on to the next. I hope they have more King Steve. That guy is the shit.

Ctrl-Alt-Del also appears to be reaching the end of the Lucas's GF vs. Lucas's Best Friend story-line, but I expect to see more confrontations further down the line. Today's strip indicates a new story-line centred around their Linux-lovin' roomie, who hasn't made many appearances recently. Yep. this seems to be a story-line about Scott. Ethan, in today's comic, went to him to get rent, and he wouldn't let him in his room, and Ethan decided to stand outside the door until he tells him what he's working on. The following conversatoin goes like this.

Scott: There's some pudding in the fridge...

Ethan: PUDDING?!

Then Ethan runs off with a big grin, and his arms flailing around. Good stuff. I'm interested in seeing just where this goes to.

MegaTokyo is still firmly entrenced in their current story-line. I won't even bother going into it.

That's the end of my webcomic spotlight for this evening. I'll do another one when I bloody well get around to it.

Now I want to bitch about something. What to bitch about...What to bitch about...

Dammit, Evil Avatar was supposed to give me a rant topic. All I got from it was that I fucking hate sports games. Sports. Games. Suck. The only sports game in the history of video games that was ANY good was MegaMan Soccer for the SNES. And that's because you could get it nowhere else. Where else are you gonna see teams of MegaMan characters playing SOCCER?! 'tis madness! I just don't understand sports in general. Let's list a few in detail.

Baseball.

Sorry Dave, but I hate baseball. I'm just not impressed with people hitting balls with a large bat. I mean, maybe if there was fire somewhere involved in the game. THAT would be sweet. But it's just far too slow for me. Oh, the guy hit the ball. He got to a base. Now he needs some other guys to hit some other balls so he can get home so he can get a point or whatever the fuck they have. That's wonderful...While you're doing that, I'm going to write a novel. A novel about the mighty apricot.

Football.

Now this is just a dumb fucking sport. A bunch of big dumbasses tackling each other to try to get the ball to the other side. And what's up with the big fork-like thing, anyway? Field goal or whatever? The fuck? I don't understand how so many goddamn people put so much fuss about this STUPID game. The Superbowl? Who fucking cares? I'll tell you who. A bunch of drunk fuckwits that are just looking for an excuse to drink with their buddies, and watch a bunch of guys tackle each other, because deep down, they're repressed homosexuals, and like seeings guys touching guys.

Basketball.

That's just great. A bunch of tall guys throwing a ball into a net. They're pretty much all black. Yeah. What else is there to say about the sport? It bores me.

Hockey.

I don't understand how Hockey is our national sport or whathaveyou. I get it, it's cold here, we have ice, but really. Skating around on the ice with sticks, trying to get a small black object into the opposing net? Once again, add fire and I'm intrigued. Fire would melt the ice, THEN the game would get interesting. Let's see how well those fuckstains can swim with all that stuff on. I'm glad the hockey season was cancelled or whatever the fuck happened.

What...Other sports are there? Rugby? Field Hockey? I somewhat enjoyed playing Rugby in gym class, way back in grade nine, but I really didn't are that much for it. Field Hockey is just stupid. 'nuff said.

I also used to hear a lot about underwater hockey. But it got cancelled. Because people just weren't interested. That's because hockey is dumb, and putting it underwater makes it even dumber, if that's at all possible. This sport is just too fucking stupid for me to even make further comment on.

I think I've covered all of the main sports here. So basically, they all suck. And I'm fucking pissed off at all the athletes who are making so much fucking money for being able to get a ball or a puck or whatever the fuck they use into where-ever the fuck it's going. You stupid fucking pricks, that money could be going someplace USEFUL, to some people that DESERVE it. All you can do is a sport. Big fucking deal. So what, you entertain some people. Make WAY too much goddamn money. BAH!

So basically, I fucking hate sports, and I fucking hate professional athletes. They can all rot in Hell for all I care. :)

Ah, that felt good. I hope I offended a lot of you, with your stupid enjoying of sports. They are dumb.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you all of the 'No Insulting Kataron' policy we here, as well as the 'Quote Me At Your Own Risk' policy. That said, I end the post.

Until next time,
I want to frame this code and hang it on my wall. It's just that beautiful.

Anxious Heart

Fuck it.

Thinking of a witty way to start tonight's post was just too much work, so I give up right now.

Anyways, normal-ness today. Got up 'round noon, Budokai for a while, then went over to Rick's for MORE Budokai, then came back here to Budokai and bathe, then some form of food supplement, then more Budokai. Then webcomics and chatting.

Wow. My day has just been summed up into three sentences that covers EVERYTHING that happened to me today. That's just so...pathetic.

Anyways, I'm forcing my HTML bitch, Jared, to code me up something as seen on a friend's blog-type site, wherein there is a text box, and people can type things in and I will get whatever is typed. I want people to be able to suggest rant topics. If something is bugging you, something stupid about society, then you'll be able to pop it in ther, wait a day or two, and hear an amusing curse-filled rant about it. Then maybe I won't have to spend so long each night trying to come up with topics to talk about. It gets quite annoying after a while. Especially on weekends. I mean, I do abso-fucking-nothing all weekend, there's not much to inspire me.

I find it interesting how people can be so very different depending on who is around. I mean, my brother can actually be kinda cool when his dickhead friends aren't around. He and his friends always make fun of me, which is never really pleasant, but --- And I've lost interest in this topic.

So, my dad's going to the pond this weekend. Where we have the cabin that I've never seen. Well, I've seen a video of it. Other than that, it could all just be a hoax. Maybe they don't even go away. Maybe they stay here and watch me. Man, that would be REALLY bad considering the things that used to go on when they left back when I was with...Yeah...

Anyways, this is the first visit of the year. Though it's just him, it will surely lead to more, with the entire family taking parts. And by the entire family, I mean everybody but me. For I shall stay home, have Jared come over, consume pizza and Coke, and stay up 'til the wee hours of the morning talking about random shit. That's the good life. Plus all the video games and movies that go on. I mean, hot damn. I still remember the time that Jared was over here and we rented...Oh, fuckmonkeys, what was it? Sixth gate or something? Occult thingy with Johnny Depp. Fuckin' awesome.

Anyways, it's that time again.

P.S. Thank you Blogger, for your wonderful recover post feature. For without it, this post surely would have been 'Fuck it, I'm not writing this again'.

Until next time,
Why isn't my life a webcomic? Gasp. Maybe it is. But maybe it's a really bad one where nothing interesting ever happens. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
~Kataron

Metamorphosis

And thus, the second post was made! And there was Chinese food!

I've come back to say two main points.

1. I don't know which I dislike more, fight scenes that drag on and on, or fight scenes that are over before you can say 'DAMN that must have hurt'.

2. There is nothing better in life than Chinese Food at two in the morning. NOTHING. Except possibly more Chinese Food in the morning.

Yeah...I just finished off a 1L of Coke that I picked up on Friday, so I'm feeling a wee bit wired. Wired and Tired, a most interesting combination. Speaking of which, I want my parents to go away for a weekend so I can stay up until 5am, listen to the Mario theme, and get freaked out by it. Now THAT is fun. Fuck, I wish I had a car for when they did that. I could drive to places and get Chinese Food all the fucking time. I fucking love Chinese Food. I also love Chinese People. I also love Japanese people. What's the different between them, anyway? Never really understood that.

You know what this blog needs? A direct connection to my mind. Everything I think should just show up here. Everyone with an internet connection could read my every thought. And I think some weird things. So many rants that I wish I could write about on here, but then forget about. If I was on here all the time, BAZAM! Of course, any readers would have to wade through lots and lots of thoughts about females and all that. But that's to be expected from a teenage pervert.

Alas, my beloved Chinese Food is now gone...Too good for this world, it seems! Woe! Woe! Woe that can only be solved by another Combo A! A! Not B! Two B or not two B? Nay, make it A!

I love my mind when I'm tired and wired. And video game music helps. I almost feel like I'm starring in my own little mini-game. I should get better at Java, and make applet games, and stick 'em on here. That'd be cool.

I've always wondered...What exactly is it that the females talk about when devoid of male companionship? Please, if there's any females reading, don't tell me. I do so adore my wild speculations and fantasies.

Well, I'm tired.

And I also fucking hate the French and their stupid fucking language. I don't think I've explicitly mentioned that here in a while.

Oh, and another thing that I haven't mentioned here in at least a couple days was how much I hate Bob.

And oh, Bob, how I despise thee.

In all honesty, you wouldn't believe how many times a day I fantasize about killing him. Usually her, too.

I think my favourite is making her watch me kill him, and having her know that it's all her fault. Of course, it's a painful killing. Sharp objects, fire...Electricity. Sometimes I combine those. Oh, the fun I have...Yep. Then after he's dead, she's next. Pretty much the same way. But at that point, she's usually pretty much lost the will to live. A broken down husk of a bitch she once was.

Good times. Anyways, moral of that story is that I fucking hate Bob. And the letter V.

K, on the other hand, is a good letter. I decided yesterday that K is my favourite letter. It's not used nearly enough. Except when it's replacing C in a word, but then it's just dumb and pisses me off. Yep.

Dammit, my life needs a soundtrack! Why the fuck doesn't my life have a soundtrack?! And I shouldn't have to control it. Theme-appropriate music should just start playing, and keep playing. That would be the most awesome thing in the history of...The Chipmunk.

Aye.

Why the fuck am I still awake? I'm just sitting here in the dark listening to Final Fantasy 3/6 midi's, and reading old webcomics. Is this what my life has been reduced to? Oh right. Yes.

Anyways, I'm off to bed. It's just past two-thirty, and I find it hard enough to get out of bed at noon having gone to bed at midnight, so I should probably sleep. So basically, 'cause I can't think of anything to rant about on here, and my mind is becoming unable to interpret what's going on in the webcomic. Best I can tell somebody got new glasses and then something about art.

Just need to get to an comic number that's a multiple of ten...Here we go, #280. And with that, I bid you...Good...Morning?

Until next time,
God damn it. I need a big evil nemisis with which to do battle, get my ass kicked, get stronger, come back, and whoop. Just because.

Victory Fanfare

Actually, I do feel somewhat victorious right now. Beep beep, huzzah!

I'm pleased with myself because I just unlocked Broly on Budokai 3. Took me three times before I could beat his ass down, but it was well worth it. Next on the agenda, getting Uub. This will be QUITE pissy. Because I have to get a Spirit Bomb on Kid Buu. And for those of you that are oh-so-fucking-perceptive, yes, Uub is Buu reversed. And vice versa. Yep. But hopefully Uub'll be worth it...Of course, it means going through Goku's saga AGAIN. But I should be able to grab a level or two from auto-incidents, wherein I gain levels just by going to. Which is good, as levels are a bitch and a half to get after you've gone through the game once. The experience you gain from the early battles sucks something fierce. Yeah.

All of a sudden, I have an undeniable urge to Hack The Gibson.

Yeah...Hackers is on. I fucking love that movie. It's so stupid, but it's so entertaining. Oh Cereal Killer. I love thee so.

Let's run-down my day.

Got up around noon, and spent the whole day having lots of fun playing games at Rick's.

Oh wait. That didn't happen. Because once I got up, I was told that I had to go to some stupid family thing in Acton for two people that I've never met, and will never meet again after this point. I had NO prior warning of this, and my entire plans for the afternoon were shot. Plus, I fucking hate my crazy family. The entire ordeal was only made bearable because my brother was there, and he hated it just as much as I did, so we spent our time trying to find interesting ways to entertain ourselves. We wandered around Acton for a bit. Had a sweet lunch. We went to the Double Happiness restaurant. God damn, I love their Chinese food. That only came to ten bucks for the both of us, so on the way back, we stopped at KFC and got some chicken and fries. God, I love chicken. Much better than turkey. I'm just fucking sick of turkey. Every important meal, holidays and shit, BAM! Turkey. It doesn't even taste all that good. But yeah, Chinese food and KFC. Great stuff.

My family is fucking weird. Most of the people there were very, very old. I thought about pulling the fire alarm just to see how many would die right on the spot from heart attacks. The others there were very, very young. There was one kid in particular that really creeped me out. Ethan and I joked about him 'cause he was watching some other guy play Gameboy Advance with his head resting on his arm, then watched another guy play it with his read resting against his head. Seemed kinda gay to me. I also talked to the kid later, and he seemed, once again, gay. Reminded me a lot of Teddy. Which is really, really creepy. Yeah.

But that's all I have to say on the subject of that. A few things hit me today, though, that I should rant about. I forget most of them, but I remember one that got me in the car on the way there.

Why the fuck is it a ticketable offense to not wear a seatbelt? I mean, what the fuck are we doing wrong, other than putting ourselves at jeapordy? I mean, I don't get a ticket if I run really fast into a wall. I don't get a ticket if I kill myself. So why do I get a ticket for putting my own life in danger and not wearing a seatbelt? I understand that they're trying to get people to wear their seatbelts, for our own safety, but we shouldn't have to pay $110 for putting our own lives in danger, when we know damn well that we're doing it. If you want somebody to learn to wear their seatbelt, let them learn the hard way. It's far more amusing for me.

You know, I never really noticed this before, but there's one scene in Hackers where you can TOTALLY see through Kate's shirt. I mean, it's right at the whole challenge dealy, for making agent Gil's life miserable, as they're going over the preparations for it, being all dramatic and shit, and bam. There's an overhead shot of Kate Libby, wearing a black shirt, and you can totally see through it. The nipples are clearly visible. I find it odd that I've never noticed this before. But then again, it's not entirely surprising. If you pay attention, you can see her breasts during Dade's dream sequence.

God I love that movie.

And I must say, when they're hacking the Gibson near the end, the shots where they have the phone booths twirling as they're inside doing their thing, it's just perfect. I love that shot, it's probably one of my favourites in the movie.

But I don't understand why the send like...a fucking SWAT team or whathaveyou after the hackers. I mean, they're carrying motherfucking assault rifles. Why are you going after HACKERS with assault rifles? I mean, I could see it if they were terrorists with hostages, dangerous people that will kill others, but they're fucking hackers. What are they going to do, put a virus on your computer? So you have a fucking assault rifles?

In other news, this is hawt.

Just thought you should all know.

I started reading a new webcomic. Questionable Content. It's pretty good, I'm enjoying it so far. Not really as video-game based as some of the others that I read, but change is always good. This comic is an interesting example of what they do. Heheheh. Underwar Ninja.

Woo. I'm gone. Reading Questionable Content. Should inspiration strike, I may post again this evening, but I also might try to kill a small child. Perhaps if I could accomplish both at once...

Until next time,
When you can go SSJ3 when fighting Raditz, you know you've got it made.

Ending Theme

Greetings, folks.

It's about...quarter to two in the am. Another semi-late night for Nate. God, I love the weekend. The only times I can spend on here 'til the wee hours of the morning.

Okay, run-through first, then rants.

I have no memory of what happened before school. I assume it involved a lot of wandering. Calculus was as Calculus is. Not a bad lesson. 'twas photocopied, making it perfect for a Friday. During break, I...Well, wandered with Jared. Skipped English. Fucking English. I hung out with Ryan and his friend in he caf all period. It was a barrel of laughs. Actually, if you want a more accurate count, I probably could have filled a barrel and a half. Yeah. Programming was fun. :) Lunch was somewhat interesting. Jared wanted to hang out with The Females during lunch, so I followed, being the sheep that I am. It was fun. I have the sneaking suspicion that Nicky's not particularly fond of me, though. Oh well. There was some wandering after food, then Jared decided to skip last period, and hung out with me. It meant that the journal didn't get as many entries, but it was a lot of fun nonetheless.

Although, I did conduct what I like to call 'The Yanchus Experiment'. I walked into his last period class, after discussing it with him at lunch, and just walked through the isles of the class, taking notes about people. Their reactions to me being there. It was quite amusing.

After school was complete, I got home and did Krillin's story mode, and Piccolo's. Started on Kid Gohan's. Then youth group. It was fun, Greg was there. He hasn't been there in a while. Then Jake showed up. JAKE! I never ever ever see Jake. Jake's awesome. We did a few random things, had some fun talking, and I eventually ended up back at my house.

Interestingly enough, there were cops at the main intersection on Rockwood, where I have to cross to get back to my house. They were stopping every car that drove through, but paid no heed to people walking by. It was rather interesting. I wonder what they were doing. Oh well.

I are teh tired.

But I probably have a couple things I wanted to talk about. Let's start off with the one that I can remember.

The planet is fucked. People are bastards. Get over it.

I'm tired of bleeding-heart people who are all 'let's-save-the-planet-!' and shit. Lost fucking cause. The Earth is fucked, it's that simple. We're going to run out of everything we need to survive. We're going to die off. And good fucking riddance. It makes no difference to me, because it's not going to happen in my lifetime. So guess what. I don't fucking care. Keep the pollution going, as long as it helps produce things that we don't need, that makes our lives even easier. It's not like it matters.

Money. Money money money. THAT is what's important in life. Love? Love's all fucking bullshit. Love does not exist. You feel that you're in love, and you're vulnerable, you're going to get stabbed in the back. Now, MONEY will not stab you in the back. Unless you do stupid things with it, and then it's your fault. Money is what makes the world go 'round, people. It all that's really important. Money, and getting more money. That's what we need to be concerned about. Fuck the planet, fuck the trees, fuck life. We're all going to die, we might as well go out with a big, expensive bang. And have some fun doing it. Money = fun. I don't give a flying fuck how the saying goes, money can damn well buy you happiness. Sure, the happiness temporary, but big fucking whoop. In case you hadn't noticed, all happiness is only temporary. There is nothing in life that you can do that will just get you happiness all the time. The only people that are happy all the time are stupid, naive people, and they'll learn the hard way. Being naive to the world around you is the only way to be happy all the time, and personally, I'd rather not be stupid and ignorant about the world around me.

Anyways, it's two in the morning, and I'm starting to get tired. I figure I'll head off to bed now. Yeah. That sounds almost like a plan.

Until next time,
I'd trade in love for cold hard cash any day. At least the cash is real, and won't cheat on me.

Far Away Memories

I have a new and exciting way to spend my spare.

And very creepy! Which could very well be the best part...

I call it 'The creepy man's journal of passersby'.

Basically, I record information about as many people that walk by me as I can. I documented about...twenty-three or twenty-four today. 'twas fun. Because they had no idea, and I have no life :) Now, if I was still in 'ologies, I could chalk this up to some sort of sociological experiment, but I finished that class last semester, so this is just 'cause I'm creepy.

Anyways, the daily RUN-DOWN.

Went to Tim Horton's this morning with James, Kate, and Moron...Er...Scott...Wandered a bit, got scolded for not reading a book, then Calculus. I was kinda wired during calculus. 'twas fun. We raised sixty-five dollars for save the future. I put in a ten, and two bucks or so in quarters. It was for the Multiple Sclerosis Society, so I figured I should put some in. My mom DOES have the disease, after all. So yeah. She's got a mild case though, so she's not that bad. It makes me pity those who don't have just a mild case, though...She's always tired, it's hard for her to really do anything. Yeah....

English was a bust. I just sat around and read my book all period. I fucking hate that class, and the teacher is a bitch and a half.

In programming, we had a quiz. It was pretty easy. Man, I'm SO gonna miss Mr. Kam when he's gone. He's going back to teach at Queen's University. Almost makes me want to apply there. But I know I wouldn't get in, so meh. The rest of the class, I perfected my menu program.

My menu program can now create new text files, put text in them, open text files, and exit itself. This may sound easy, but how 'bout you try programming all that in java when your regular teacher hasn't taught you enough about it to do anything, and you're going completely by somebody who doesn't speak very good English? Okay, so it was pretty easy once you get the hang of it all. FileWriters and PrintWriters and all that kuh-razy shit.

It was all...

import.java.io.*;

public class MenuProgram
{

public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException

}

And then a whole bunch of other stuff that I don't feel like typing out. If you're lucky, I'll copy all of my code into a text file or something and post it on here. Then you can see what Java's really like. And how fucking difficult it is to get user input, whereas Delphi was all readln and BAZAM!

Anyways, yeah. There was something I wanted to bitch about the other day but forgot.

I fucking HATE people that dress their pets up in stupid little fucking outfits. God, that irritates me to no end. Dogs should NOT be wearing sweaters. I don't give a fuck how cold it is, they have fur. And if they don't have enough fur to stay okay in the cold, then just don't bring them outside for long stretches. And hell, I've seen dogs with barely any fur be just fine outside in the snow. I saw a woman walking a dog with a sweater as I was getting off the bus yesterday. So stupid. You know, just because they're not human doesn't mean they don't have some form of pride. I mean, if I was a dog, I sure as hell wouldn't want to be dressed in a tiny fucking sweater.

Dammit, there were other things I wanted to mention tonight. WHAT WERE THEY? Bah.

I rented Budokai 3 tonight. VideoPlex in Rockwood just got a bunch of new games, this being among them. It's quite fun so far. I've already gone through three story lines. Goku's, Yamcha's, and Tien's. Of course, Yamcha and Tien do pretty much jack shit throughout the entire thing, so there wasn't much to do with them, but Goku's in like...Everything. So yeah.

I went down to the video place with the intention of just grabbing this game, coming home, and playing it, with possibly a short pause to check out the person working there if they were a cute girl, but I ended up getting into a half-hour discussion on video games and movies with Peter, the guy that runs the place. WHENEVER he or his wife Sheila are working, I always end up in discussions. Because they know what they're talking about. The others are generally just part-time people that don't care. But I love talking about movies and stuff. And video games. I always advise them on what games to get. I LOVE their new games. Got some good ones. Budokai 3, Mercenaries (Giddy with excitement about that one ^_^), and Thousand Year Door for the GameCube. YEAH! I've been wanting to play Thousand Year Door since I heard about it. I missed out on the first Paper Mario title, but this one should be good. There's also some other new ones that don't look as good. I might try Outlaw Golf 2 just for one night for the sole purpose of seeing one of the things on the back of the case, with a dominatrix and a fat slave guy playing gold. That was just hilarious. Of course, games that just do that shit to be funny generally suck something fierce. I pity anybody that actually buys that shit. Now, if they can pull it off well, and tastefully, then we're in business! But games like this don't do that.

So yeah.

Answered my Q6 tonight. Remembered just as I was getting on here to start my blog post. My personal question was about the four horsemen of the apoclypse. It named three, and I had to name the other one. What were they...Death, Pestilence, something...Anyways, the unnamed one was famine. Thank you, Marvel comic website for telling me that. I'm not bothering with the group question, 'cause I got it last week, and I seem to be the only one that's remembered that Q6 is tonight thus far. I told Beth, and she got hers, but nobody else is doing it. Jared isn't 'cause he has work, but there'st still three other team members that haven't gotten around to it yet. Yep.

Reminder to self: Mention Kate's hair tomorrow.

Yeah...Kate went somewhere today to get her hair..cut...or something. I have to remember to mention it, or she'll probably get irritable on me. And that's just damn annoying. James keeps telling her that she and I would make a good couple. Naturally, she's horrified. I'm amused.

Let's turn to gaming news.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

New Evil Dead title looking to hit the PS2 and Xbox. :)

Voiced by THE MAN HIMSELF, Bruce Campbell! I LOVE that guy! He's so cool. I really want to see the second and third Evil Dead movies. I saw the first one. It was damn good, actually scary. Great, considering it was made quite a while ago. Movies from back then that try to be scary usually get a laugh from me, what with the bad acting, and the crappy special effects, and the zombies that look nothing like zombies, but this one was fucking awesome. Yeah.

But man, I absolutely adore Bruce Campbell. He's so fucking cool. I even watched Bubba Hotep, just because he was in it. Not a bad movie, I thought. Funny.

I can't wait for this new title :)

Also in the gaming news, the UN decided to play it's hand in making a game, and made a VERY stupid game about hunger or something. It's just REALLY fucking dumb. I mean, they're trying to reach out to kids, and they're trying with video games, 'cause hey, that's cool! But they don't seem to realize that any game they could possibly come out with that DOESN'T involve shooting people will suck.

Also, some site hs a preview for Dungeon Siege 2, but I'm too lazy to link. Rick's quite excited about this one. He was a huge fan of Dungeon Siege. It wasn't TOO bad...He mostly played it over LAN, by himself, so he could avoid the party system. I was too lazy to do that, so I just played it with the party. God, I hated the party system in that. It was so fucking stupid. It was nigh impossible to tell the people you wanted to tell to do what you wanted them to do. If they don't impove that in this next one, then by the Gods, I'm going to shoot the president! Of something.

Also, voice actors may be going on strike.

But more importantly, I hate ads on website that go too slowly. I mean, I was just looking at one, and it was like...

*fade in*
Rockstar Games.
*fade out*
*fade in*
A Rockstar Games
Sand Diego production.
*fade out*
*face in*
In assocition with Dub...something.
*fade out*

Yeah, as you can probably tell, this is where I stopped caring.

But honestly, people. Just because you're Rockstar Fucking games does NOT mean I'm going to wade through shit to read what you have to say. So fuck you.

Anyways, it's that time again, so I must be off.

Until next time,
I would be proud of my dad if he was a contract killer.

The Silence

Does anybody remember Hudson Soft? Video game company? No? Well, then you don't care that Konami just bought them out and became majority shareholders. From what Evil Avatar said, they did Bomberman. That was a fucking sweet game. I'm happy that it's been bought out, now it won't go under, and maybe we can expect some sweet Bomberman title in the future. That'd be cool.

Let's run-down the day, shall we? Got up, bus-ride to school, and then I stopped at Kate's locker. Teddy was there too, and said that he wanted to go buy cake icing. Kate and I accompanied him, and the cake icing looked so good that I couldn't resist picking up a thing of it. I've consumed a large amount of it through the day. Good stuff. Rainbow bits. Calculus was...Calculus. English was kinda fun, we didn't do much work, we just talked in our little groups for some stupid project that sucks. Programming was fun, as always now :) But if you get Mr. Kam in a conversation, he tends to go on for a while. I noticed that today. But he's still cool. Great teacher, I'm learning a lot from him. Yep.

Jared was at Written At Ross today, which I despise with a fiery passion, so I did not join him. Damn communist. So I hung out and talked with Mitch and company. During spare, I sat alone for a bit, then James came by and took me to Tim Horton's, wherein he bought me a beverage and a cheesed breadstuff. Then I was alone again for a bit under the stairs, and Mitch came back, and then James came back. We talked about generic things for a generic period of time. Then Kate showed up and talking continued, then Devon showed up, and eventually it ended and we had to disperse.

Right, so today was that...Support gays by not talking for a day or whatever name they tried to make it look not-dumb with. Yeah...Didn't work. Stupid day, stupid reasoning, just stupid. I just don't understand it. Oh, Mr. Homosexual, I'm supporting you by not talking for a day! The hell? I'm not even sure if the gayest person I know knew about this whole day. If he did, he didn't care, 'cause he was still talking all morning when I saw him. Try finding a way to support these things that ISN'T stupid. Yeah, 'kay, thanks.

I have nothing against gays. But I feel the need to talk about the use of that word. Gay. Could mean homosexual, could mean happy, could just be a generic insult. I use it as a generic insult. Jared has this whole thing where he uses it as an insult, he's got his reasoning behind that, which I'll try to post in a minute, after he types it up. But I don't like it when people get offended by people using gay as an insult. It's dumb. The word's changed so much, why shouldn't it be an insult? It could change into one, could it not? Well, guess what! It has. I like using it as an insult. And there's nothing anybody can say or do that will make me feel otherwise.

Oh, and I'm starting a new policy on here. Should anybody want to quote me on anything, to put in their own thing, to bitch about how wrong and stupid and possibly ugly I am, I'd like to be asked first. Yeah. If not, I'll...Well, I'll try to think of some sort of unpleasant consequence. Yeah. Oh, and part of asking is waiting for some sort of confirmation before going ahead and quoting it, so not just commenting, asking for permission there, and quoting. Yeah. This includes posts and comments.

As you can probably tell, I'm not particularly fond of being quoted.

Man...At some point, I'm going to be moving this blog to a new server. That is going to be a BITCH. I mean, I'm going to have to copy all of my archives. That's A LOT of archives. Groan. Plus, copying them means I'm going to have to skim over them and such, and there's a lot of stuff I've written about that I would just love to forget.

Muaha! Jared's done typing his dealy. And thus I shall paste it.

This is what the Jared has to say on such topics:

So sometimes a person might here something they don't like, or see something that is kind of dumb, and say "That's so gay." There are some other people who would hear that and retort with "I would rather if you didn't talk like that," or "I did not know such things could have a sexual orientation." No offense to either of these latter people, but I would like to tell you why you are terribly wrong.

I used to, in my dark days of elementary school, use the word 'gay' in such a fashion as would be undesirable. Then I grew to my senses and as I omitted numerous other words from my vocabulary, I also stopped using that particular one in such a way. I did not want to offend those that seemed to become offended. Recently, however, I have returned to the use of the word simply so that I will find these people (as they comment on my choice of words) and rebut their logic. Because there isn't much in that.

You see, the word 'gay' does not mean homosexual. I understand that it's definition has changed over the years to be used in replacement of 'homosexual' but it's original meaning was quite different. I am absolutely certain that you all know that it originally meant 'happy' or something along those lines. Because of this, I feel that if I am insulting any sort of person by saying "that's really gay," I am only insulting people who are happy.

You may still be stuck on the belief that the original definition of the word doesn't matter. You may try to tell me that the definition has changed over the years (as I admitted to above) and now does in fact also mean 'homosexual'. This makes no difference to me whatsoever. For if the definition of gay (when it meant happy) can so easily change to gay (when it means homosexual), then there is no difference for the word to later on change to gay (meaning dumb, or stupid, or whatever word you wish to substitute). We have seen with the word gay that words can evolve and change definitions... What is stopping this one from changing twice?

/endJaredrant

Please note: I MAY have edited it slightly to change a certain spelling mistake, and to add my bias on everything he said.

I love being eccentric. I can do whatever the fuck I want to do. And who's going to stop me?! I'm eccentric! YOU CAN'T STOP US!

Wow. I'm tired and I can no longer think of things to rant about tonight. Oh well, I guess I'll just throw a fish at a wall for a while now. Plus my computer's being GAY and lagging, so I can't see what I'm typing unless I stop and wait for it to catch up, and it adds all sorts of errors.

Until next time,
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

Save Your Game

Save YOUR game.

Now.

DO IT.

Fine.

Yo. It's been quite the funtastic day for me today. Both beginning and ending with me getting wired off my ass. And by the Gods, is there any other way to do it?! I should think not! Right, let's start from the beginning, shall we? Well...We'll skip ahead to where I'm at school. Yeah. I wandered a wee bit, and ended up talking nerd-talk with Aaron and Berang(sp?) until Calculus started. Calculus was fun, as always. After that, I...Well, I kind of wandered around a bit, hit my locker, walked off, then realized I didn't get my book, looped back, and hit it again. Not literally hit, mind you. Well, with my head, but yeah. There was a test on Fifth Business today, but that's a WHOLE DIFFERENT rant that'll be going on later. Read on and see. Anyways, after that, programming. Great as always. Mr. Kam is quite awesome. We even talked about him for a bit in Calculus today. Yep. Then lunch hit, and things got...Interesting. Jared gave me the twenty bucks he promised me, and I bought a Cookies and Cream cake. And some Vanilla ice cream. Then went back to school and ate it in the caf. There were a bunch of people there that wanted cake, too. Cake made me popular. I'm not usually popular, so it was awesome. People paid attention to me, including cute girls. And those are one of the best kinds of girls. Yep. After lunch, everybody was going to their classes, and Kate and I started wandering, and we ran into Logan and his companion, whose first name I do not remember the spelling of. One Mr. Schmultz(sp?). Anyways, they needed to take pictures of food, and we had a cake, so we went to their Comm. Tech class and allowed them to take pictures of the cake. People there kept bugging me for some, and I eventually broke down and let one guy have some, just 'cause he was so cool. And also because he complimented me on how I spoke. :) He liked how I said 'If you could locate something with which to eat the cake...', he liked the locate and with which, he said. Yep. I was quite pleased with that. I take great pride in my vocabulary. Anyways, after that, I hit Food Basics, and bought a 12-pack of Coke, bag of chips, and a large bouncy-ball. Wheeeeee!

When I got home, it was basically Wind Waker until...Now. I decided to keep it for another night, and wandered around on the high sea...I guess there's only one of them in there, but I mapped out half the map, before even going to my next destination. Then I saved my sister, tried to fight Ganon, went back to Hyrule, then came back and grabbed a new Earth Sage. Damn sword's losing it's power. *shakes fist*

Anyways...Back to the rant I mentioned in the other paragraph. Yeah. I'm pissed off majorly at my English class. It's fucking stupid. We had a content test on the whole of Fifth Business today, which I hadn't started. Fucking stupid, as the oter class is having a test on the second third of it on Wednesday. My class has done SO much more work than them. It's really pissing me off. We've done the in-class essay, we're supposed to have the book read, we had a ton of reading logs to do, the creative project, all sorts of shit. I don't know how much they've done, but I know they haven't done the essay, and they're not done Fifth Business. I think it's stupid for one class to be so very different from the other. I mean, we're both 4U English classes, are we not? Shouldn't the workload be the same? I mean, I can understand teacher with different teaching methods, they can teach however the fuck they want, but the workload at least should be the same. Same amount of projects, same dates for some major projects, such as the in-class essay. I wish I was in the other class, I really do. Then I might be passing. Now I very well might fail English, because my class is doing things so stupid and differently from the other. Bah.

Yeah. Let's move on.

So, there's that...Day of Silence or whatever tomorrow. Rachel did an announcement on it today, and mentioned it on her LJ. It sounds stupid to me. Doesn't seem to be accomplishing anything. So people are...protesting discrimination by not talking? Okay...There's a bunch of shit about it on their website, but I think it's stupid, so that's the end of this topic. If you wanna shut up for a day, then that's fine by me, but you're not changing or accomplishing anything.

What's next on the agenda? Is there an agenda? I'm confused. Feh, let's check the old Evil Avatar for gaming news...

ooOOooOOoo

BloodRayne PSP game announced. Hot vampire chicks in the palm of your hand, BOOYAH! I played the first BloodRayne, and rather enjoyed it, too.

juggydancesquad ---- The cheat to enter in that game to make her boobs bigger.

I found it hilarious that they would add a cheat like that. But then it's just downright sad that I still remember it, and haven't played the game in about a year. But I might add, they seem to get bigger on their own by the second game. I seem to recall seeing previews where her breasts were about the same size as they were in the first one with the cheat activated. I guess that's what happens when you're marketing at us horny teenage males.

Also in the news...Eck, something about the Matrix on-line. That game sucked something fierce. For me, the Matrix died after the first one. The second was one meh, with some stupid shit in it, and I didn't even watch the third one. The game was pretty good, but the MMORPG sucks ass. Rick had it on his compy for a while, as he tries all of these games to try to find a good one, but the Matrix one just sucked. There were a lot of glitches too far along in the production, and the whole idea just sucks in comparison to things like WoW and CoH. Eric had an interesting idea. How many people would play a Zelda-based MMORPG? I think that'd be freakin' sweet. It'd require a lot of tweaking with ideas and shit, but fuck yeah, if they could do it right, I'd play it.

And lastly, the Xbox 2 is apparently going to be unveiled on MTV. Urg. That's lame.

I can't wait for the next generation of systems...They're gonna be freaking SWEET. Although, I haven't heard much about any new Nintendo systems...Not that Nintendo is going to throw in the towel. They've been going since the beginning. Back when things were 8-bit. Fuck yeah. Fuck yeah. But I'm interested in what they'll be doing for their NEXT console. I mean, they change a lot. Nintendo to Super Nintendo. Super Nintendo to N64. N64 to GameCube. All MAJOR improvements in graphic quality, although they lacked one thing that helped push Sony ahead. You can't go back and play SNES games on an N64. I mean, with Sony you've got less, Playstation, PS2, and now the PSP (although that's handheld, which Nintendo does a damn fine job of keep old games playable through). That's one of the things that bugged me about Nintendo. If you want to play the classics, you buy them when they're revamped and repackaged, and put out for a new handheld system. I'd rather be able to pop in an old cartridge and play. But they've changed mediums far too much for that to be able to happen...I mean, it's not like it's a horrible thing, but it's slightly annoying. I mean, if they weren't also given VASTLY superior graphics to the formers, I'd probably be pissed off about it.

I remember when I despised the GameCube. It seems like a rather childish system now, doesn't it? I mean, the default colour was purple. Who the fuck wants a purple system? That's fucking gay. You don't want a purple system. Might as well make it hot pink, with a pretty little bow. *shudder* My brother got a black one. I'd be fine with either a black or a white system, as both look pretty cool, and anything's better than that god-awful purple. The first few games were FAR too marketed towards younger children. I mean, the graphics were very...kiddy, and some of the stuff was kind of lame. I mean, Luigi's Haunted Mansion? What the fuck is that? But then you've got titles that came around and saved it, like Metroid Prime. Now that fucker was SWEET. And Wind Waker, though you have to ignore the fact that the graphics are mostly ass-like in nature. I can't fucking wait for the new game. Dear Lord, it looks amazing. I'd find screenshots, but quite frankly, I'm too lazy.

Ah, something else to rant about. Yeah, so apparently one of the two bus-bitches that I frequently mention on here decided to call the bus driver obnoxious this morning. The bus driver is crazy, but she doesn't like being insulted. I think it was near the end of the bus ride, as she didn't do anything about it this morning. But on the ride home, she made the high-pitched one sit at the back of the bus. Her man-voiced friend went to join her, but then the bus driver made her sit near the front. Man-voice was complaining, and wouldn't come up to the front right away, then when she DID, she just sulked in her seat and was talking about how she wasn't going to come on the bus anymore. Of course, she's just being a man-voiced drama queen, but if she does stop taking the bus, THEN FUCK YEAH! I fucking hate her. I fucking hate her friend. And while we're at it, I fucking hate the other drama queen on the bus. If we can get rid of the first two bitches, the high-pitched one and the man-voiced one, then there's only one left. But by God, the bus ride home was downright enjoyable! I only had to hear the bitch's high-pitched screetching at the start of the bus ride! ^_^ I hope we really can get rid of them. I'm fucking sick of them. Always insulting us and talking loudly and stupidly. Fucking Heights kids.

Yeah, I hate pretty much everybody that goes to Heights. Most of the people I've met from there are complete morons. If you're outside of the school at the end of the day, you can tell which bus belongs to them. It's the one that's shaking and having people throw things out of the windows. I decided today that my melting ice cream had a higher I.Q. than the two Heights bitches we were waiting for. In case you hadn't quite picked up yet, high-pitched and man-voice are the two Heights bitches. Yeah. But Dear Lord, could they GET any dumber?

Yargh.

Man...I wish I could go to conventions. I would love to go to anime conventions. I mean, it's not JUST anime there, they've almost always got webcomic authors. One of my personal favourites, for instance, the great Absath, will be attending Anime Boston. With the last of the Ctrl-Alt-Del Year One books, and limited edition prints. mmmm....God, I wish I could go. But then again, I don't think I could handle meeting one of these guys. I was reading Absath's blog-type dealy about a week or so ago, and I read about his birthday party...Absolutely amazing. So many webcomic authors...Mookie was there! I love Mookie. GREAT webcomic of his, that Dominic Deegan. I mean, the plot twists are just WOW. But anyways, I decided that, had I been at that party, I would have just been rolling around on the floor, unable to do anything else. Just completely geeking out. Just to meet Absath would be absolutely incredible...I don't think I could handle that.

*geeks out at the thought*

Man...That'd be incredible.

The list of webcomics I read just keeps growing and growing and growing...I love it. I was recently reading the Gods of Arr-Kelaan, but pretty much the first volume is only on book. If I could somehow obtain a means of ordering the book, I would, as it's pretty good thus far, but I can't. So blast. I'll have to put that one off for a while.

I would say that my five favourite webcomics would have to be...

1. Squidi
2. Dominic Deegan
3. Ctrl-Alt-Del
4. Penny Arcade
5. Bob and George

But I can't talk about webcomics without giving honourable mention to PVP and Nuklear Power.

God I love webcomics.

I'm absolutely dreading the release of HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm going to start reading the books soon, I just need to finish the White Plague before I start. Yes, I'm STILL reading the White Plague. If you're a diligent reader, you'd know what I was talking about, but I haven't quite finished it. It's pretty good, but I'm coming into the home stretch, almost done, and everything's getting more exciting. But as soon as that's done, I'll be moving on to HitchHiker's, and then I MIGHT see the movie at some point. I haven't read the reviews yet simply because of spoilers, but here's what Brian of Nuklear Power had to say:

'If you want a really short version, here it is: they took out the jokes to make room for more plot they then gutted to make room for some special effects.'

Yeah. That seems pretty shitty to me. He also said that he's going to hold a one-man protest of the movie in his living room by reading the books. That sounds like a damn good idea to me. I mean, how many kids are gonna see this movie, think it's awesome, and think that's exactly how the books went? I mean, I watched the first LotR movie before reading the book. Hell, I still haven't read the damn book. Nor do I have any intent to read the book anytime in the near or not-near future. But I had no idea about Tom Bombadil, I didn't know they'd cut out such a cool character. Now I'm more aware that they can and will butcher these books just to fit lots of stupid special effects and shitty stuff for kids in there. Bah.

Anyways, it's that time again, so I'll be heading off to bed.

Until next time,
No matter how pleasant the day is, it's always the same in the end. Sitting in a dark room alone, thinking about things that will never be, and things that will never cease to be. This is how it's always been, and there's no hint of change on the horizon.

Ice Crystal

Beeeeeeeeef. Such a great word. SAY IT WITH ME!

BEEF!

Has anyone ever noticed that vegans have a distinct scent? A rather unpleasant scent, I might add. Cafe Aquarius REEKS of it, and thus I refuse to go to that horrid establishment. Plus the food is all that vegetarian/vegan shit. Eck, fuck that. Kill me an animal, cut out it's insides, deep-fry it until it's impossible to tell what it is and serve it to me in some sort of bun! Fuck yeah! You heard me. Smelly vegans.

So, Wind Waker's getting pretty fucking fun. I'm getting the hang of it. It's a bitch to start out. They don't explain much in the beginning area. You learn things as you go, and if you're distracted, as I pretty much always am, it can be hard to figure stuff out. It took me half a dozen deaths to realize that you can hold onto a ledge and move from side to side. I thought I had to jump at it JUST right. And I only found out tonight that when you're on a rope, you can STOP and aim yourself. That would have been helpful to know BEFORE I GOT HALF-WAY INTO THE GAME. The puzzles and challenges are quite fun. But the bosses are fucking pussies. Once you've got their tricks, BAM. I died once to one of them because I went into the battle with half-health and didn't know what I was doing. The second time I killed him easily. The second boss I got on my first try, even easier. And the third boss was just a rip-off from an old boss from Ocarina of Time. The hands guy. I think it's the dungeon where you get...The bow? Then you gotta shoot his hands. I'm not entirely sure, it's been a VERY long time, but I remember shooting his hands. Wait...I think it was the dungeon where you get the...Eye of Truth or whatever the fuck it's called. Yeah, that's it! :) And the boss is all invisible and shit, and you gotta use that, and then shoot it's hands 'til the boss' head comes down. It was like that, minus the invisibility, but you had to use bombs on the head instead of killing it. Beat it very easily. But I'm still quite enjoying the game. It's a shame that it has to go back tomorrow. But I'll rent it again sometime and beat it. I quite literally played it from when I got home until about..9:30, with a minor break for dinner. Such a good game. Admittedly, the graphics are ass-like in nature, but they made the first boss look HELLA-COOL. I mean, SHIT! That thing was fucking sweet. All lava-y and evil. Booyah. So all in all, it's a good game. Got some interesting new features, but it brings back the classic Zelda that we all know and love. But...On the ocean. But that's okay. The next Zelda game, coming out for the GameCube, will kick so much ass it should be made illegal :) And with that one, the graphics are most certainly NOT ass-like in nature! Fucking BEAUTIFUL graphics.

Oh, and I figure I should comment on the whole 'Not-Link' thing. Well, it actually goes about that quite interestingly, turning the hero into a guy that I really like. You see, it's not Link. There's a legend about an ancient kingdom that was threatened by evil, then the HERO OF TIME came and totally whooped it's ass. pwned, bitch! Anyways, then peace came, hero left, but the villian came back later. Sneaky Ganon. They all waited for the HERO OF TIME to come back, BUT HE DIDN'T! The kingdom got totally ass-raped, assuming that the kingdom HAS an ass, but then all evidence of the kingdom was lost, except for legends. So we'll never really know if the kingdom had this fabled ass. So the HERO OF TIME is all one big legend, and on this one kuh-razy island, when boys become of age, they're dressed like Link, and go out on their own little adventures. I'm amused because at first, this character, didn't even like it. He didn't like the outfit, he thought the whole thing was stupid. He's a character to my own heart, never really happy, always kind of...Well, moody. He's not some legendary hero that's trying to save the world, he's a teenage boy trying to save his sister! And he's damn cool.

So, run-down of the old day. Got up, checked the webcomics, bus, school, wandered in morning, got nice and wired before Calculus, WENT to Calculus, where math was learned, and then *pauses to catch breath* in-class essay in English. HOLY FUCK-PISS. That essay was a fucking whore. I mean, essays are my bitches. I'll say that right here and now. I enjoy writing essays. I'm weird like that. But I BARELY finished this one when the bell rang, and most of the class was still writing. I wrote my essay about deception, as one of the topics was discussing appearance vs. reality in Hamlet. Deception basically, right? So I did that. Yeah. It was pretty easy, but it was also hard to fit everything in there in the time. What the fuck are they trying to prepare us for? When in the real world are we going to need to sit down and write an essay on a topic that we're not aware of, and only have seventy-five minutes to do it? When the fuck does THAT come up after school, hm? Are bosses in offices going around making people write essays on literature, or they're FIRED? I don't fucking think so! So therefore, the in-class essay is absolutely fucking pointless. Like some tests. When in the real world are we not going to have access to anything that can help us get the answers? Dumbness.

Anyways, after that was programming, where I finally got a program done that gets input from a reader. w00t. That sounds easy, but it's an absolute fucking bitch to do on java. I hate it I hate it I hate it I hate it. I need to have like...buffered readers, you need to import java.io.*, you need to throw IOException. It's all just such a fucking hassle. Whatever happened to readln? I LIKED readln. JUST readln. It was so easy! Sigh. But the program also created a text-file and saved data to the text-file, so I'm quite pleased with myself. It's one of the few programs in the damn course that I've actually done. With the help of Matt and Will, but still!

Then during spare, I went to the store with Kate and pondered for half an hour about what I wanted to buy, not just then, but when Jared gives me twenty bucks. I think I settled on cake and ice cream. Among other things, but I just loooooove cake and ice cream. So yeah. That was pretty much my spare. Well, then we came back and she went to talk to Teddy while I wandered around, then sat at a stairwell and picked at my hand for fifteen minutes. Yep. My right hand is NOT in good shape. I'm getting blisters from snapping my fingers, and the blister that was on my thumb and popped, a while back, still hasn't completely healed over because I'm always snapping, I have calluses(sp?) from opening tightly closed Coke bottles, and there was the whole 'Sharpie' incident wherein I cut myself along my ring finger, and also on the palm. And I seem to find loose bits of skin where things are starting to form, and rip them off. No sir, not doing well at all. Yep.

In case you hadn't been able to tell from the rest of the post, I'm VERY wired right now. Yep. Wired is always good.

On another note, I fucking hate the two annoying bitches on my bus. They just won't fucking shut up for the entire bus ride. Even when the bus driver tells them to shut the fuck up, they don't listen. They swear, they insult us, they but into our conversations, and they're just generically stupid. One has a high-pitched screetchy voice, and the other has a lower man-voice. They're stupid fucking whores and they should be shot in the face. Or at least taught some sort of lesson.

Yep. Geez, what else is there to talk about? Well, probably a lot of stuff. But I don't care. I'm done for the night, I'm going to read the Gods of Arr Kelaan for ten minutes, then TRY to sleep.

Until next time,
Oh, for the love of...Put some fucking pants on, man. You're making an ass out of yourself. No pun intended.

Waltz Of Pain

Hey.

This will not be a long post, as my head is fucking killing me.

I said I'd review Wind Waker. I will not be, as my head is fucking killing me.

But I will give a brief run-down of my day. Woke up at noon. Played Wind Waker. Went jogging. Threw up. Slushie. More Wind Waker.

Yeah...It was a 'nice' day today, so I decided to play my hand at jogging. All around the lake I went. There seemed to be some kind of...I dunno, tour group or something. A large amount of people standing outside a cave with one guy talking. I have no idea what he was talking about, though, as I jogged by rather quickly with my headphones blasting Five Iron Frenzy. Yep. So yeah, all the way around the lake, although part of that was walking, because I'm out of shape and haven't jogged in months...And on my way OUT of the Conservation Area, I feel the need to sit down, so I sit on a rock by the trail. Then I feel the need to vomit, so I go away from the trail and vomit up my lunch of ravioli. It looked much better the first time I saw it. Yep.

But damn, my head really fucking hurts. I think I'm just gonna go to bed.

Until next time,
It feels like there are thousands of tiny people having some sort of...stomping competition in my head. Thousands of tiny, yet obese people. I mean, tiny like...They're small. But still obese. See where I'm going with this? Yeah.

4F73R M3

And thus the apple fell.

You heard me.

Generic Saturday for me. Woke up. Went over to Rick's, played a bit of WoW before he got picked up by his dad. Came home. Rented Zelda: Wind Waker for the Cube. Watched tv. Played Wind Waker. More tv. And here we are.

My, what a fulfilling life I lead.

In case you hadn't picked up on it yet, tonight I am tired, depressed, and bitter. Not in that order.

Aaaaand I no longer care about writing a post. Expect a full review of Wind Waker tomorrow.

I'm just far too distracted by a crappy horror movie and MSN conversations right now, so yeah.

Until next time,
Kataron awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Above The Rising Falls

Evenin', folks.

Just posted last night's update. Damned blogger with it's messing up right at the end of the night. I kept trying to reload the main page, but I was getting nothing. Oh well. It's still better than LiveJournal. I just fucking hate LiveJournal. Too forum-y. My blog is a blog, not a goddamn forum. But this is just my opinion, I know there's a bunch of you stupids that read this that like and have LiveJournal things. Yep.

So...Let's RUN-DOWN MY GODDAMN DAY.

Woooooooo. Yeah, not sure why the caps and 'goddamn' are there. Just for effect, methinks.

It started out just like any other day. Hell, it was just any other day. Which is probably why it started out like one. But I digress. Morning Wandering. Went over to Tim Horton's. Good shit. Yep. Then Calculus, which was a good Friday lesson, and pretty easy.

Second period, you ask? I skipped English. I just couldn't handle another goddamn period to prepare for the stupid in-class essay. I DON'T NEED IT. So I hung out with Ryan and his friend in the caf all of lunch. It was fucking awesome. Much hilarity was had. The fire alarm went off again. At this point I was worried about being forced to go through the main doors, where my English teacher might see me, as that's where the class would be going. I think she already saw me at the beginning of the period, though. I was on my way to the caf to find Ryan, and she was leaving the drama room. So I started moving faster. But anyways, while we were waiting to go back in, I hung out with nerds and talked about RuneScape. RUNESCAPE. How nerdily awesome is that?! And there was a girl there that apparently plays. Girls that play video games are hawt. And I'm talking REAL video games. Not...Tony Hawk whatever or the Sims. Those are pussy-ass games. And sports games don't count either, because the entire premise of sports games is flawed. Except in the case of MegaMan Soccer for the SNES. That was fucking sweet. At the end of the period, I went up to my next class, which is right across the hall from my English class, which I skipped. So I waited there during the class, so as soon as the bell rang, I could get inside, and not get caught. Mr. Kam came along, and we talked for a little bit. I said that I wasn't going in because there was another class in there, and the lights were off, and I didn't want to disturb anything. I could have SWORN that I heard him say something along the lines of that they might say 'FUCK OFF!'. To hear the student-teacher swear, or at least I THINK that's what he said, was absolutely hilarious. Jared wasn't in that class though. Dumb kid. It was fun. Mr. Kam is awesome :)

During lunch....Oh, now this is QUITE the story. Ms. Tremblay has students in her period 3 class with Dance Dance Revolution, so they brought a Playstation 2 in, two dance pads, and a copy of the game, because she wanted to try it. We spent all of lunch in there playing DDR. It was AWESOME. Who was there...Let's see...Peter Dewey was there for a bit, as was Brianne. I have no idea if her name is spelled right, nor do I know her last name. I saw something interesting near the start of the period, but I will go into no details whatsoever. Peter, Brianne, and another teacher each had one go, and the rest of the time, it was two friends of Ryan (I just CAN'T remember their names :( ), Ms. Tremblay and I. The one friend of his, that owns and brought it was good. Very good. I could not keep up with him, as much as I tried. Ms. Tremblay and I were on the beginner difficulty setting, and he was on the...I think it was the middle one, which is two up from where we were. The other guy was only one up, so I could ALMOST keep along with his side of the screen. It was so much fun. I think I played one match against Peter Dewey, one against another teacher, and then like...four of five against Ms. Tremblay. Because the other two guys there were just too good, we wouldn't stand a chance against them. I swear to God, one of the guys got a 200 combo. 200 hits IN A ROW. That's fucking incredible, at the speed that they were going by. Mine were going way slower, and I never got past a 12 combo. Bah! And now this might become a club! A DDR club! FUCK YEAH! Now that's a club that needs a lot of female members. And a video camera set up. I mean...uhh...I'm not creepy...

There were some good songs on there, too. A lot that I didn't know. Ms. Tremblay picked a couple of the songs, one being a Duran Duran song, and another being 'Like a Virgin'. I picked 'Move Your Feet' by Junior Senior. Or is it Senior Junior? Nah, must be the first one. DAMN fine song. I also picked another one that got faster and faster as we went through. It was fucking HARD by the end. It was all JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP JUMP by the end, and I was like...jumping. And stuff. Yeah. Fun, though. Lots of fun. :) It's too bad Jared will never do it. He despises the game with a fiery passion. Oh well.

During my spare, I met up with Jared, who decided to skip and sleep, as he didn't sleep at all last night, the stupid. I left him under some stairs to nap while I hit Food Basics, then I came up with the ingenius idea that he go home and sleep at his mom's before he had to go to work. He liked it, and I saw him to the door, meeting up with Kate on the way. So Jared left, and Kate and I hung out for the rest of the period, which seems to be how my spare is going lately. 'cept usually Jared doesn't so much leave as...be in class. Yeah. Kate and I wandered a bit, then went over to Tim Horton's and talked about random things, and I saw JAKE! I hadn't seen Jake since the drama! And that was ages ago! I had to give him a hug. He seemed to have a pretty bad cold, his voice was really bad, and he was just going to a doctor's appointment. But it was still great seeing him. He's so cool. You hear that, Jake Rivers?! That's right.

Moving on...I don't think much else happened between then and me going home. I stopped off at my house after getting off the bus, dropped off my backpack, told my dad to expect a call from the school, and wandered down to Rick's. Rick played a little WoW while Eric and I beat a boss in Kingdom Hearts, then he had to go, and I took over after he left to find a save point. We have a shared file that we don't play without each other, and we alternate players. It's pretty good. Some weekend, when my parents are gone or something, or maybe over the summer, we're just going to sit down and beat Kingdom Hearts. It's SUCH a good game. And I haven't beaten it yet, I'd like to before Kingdom Hearts 2 comes out in September. They've got some 'big shoes to fill', as Eric said. Clever.

Anyways, after Eric left, I got on Rick's compy and played WoW for a bit, and got my druid up a level. w00t. Also, I got an email from the tech guys at Q6, and they're changing my answer to be right for the team question. And they were so damn polite about it in the email, too. I love that. People are NOT polite enough. Don't you just hate when people are calling to ask for people, and are impolite? Especially people that are trying to get money or sell something. They do it so often that they don't even say goodbye, most of the time. I'm far more likely to pass on a message about somebody calling if the person is polite about it. Bastards.

Anyways, then youth group. I figured it was gonna suck, with the absence of Eric and Dave, but it was still pretty good. Andrew brought a new volunteer, by the name of Ester. She was really cool. I now own her. MUAHAHAHAHA! Interesting story. Well, not so much interesting as stupid. But we were playing Texas Hold'em or whatever the fuck the game is called, and I decided that I would bet HER. Even though I didn't own her or anything. But we won the hand, and I therefore won her. Of course, late on, Andrew won ME. Then bet me, and won me again...But I still own her. Well, myself and Paddi. Paddy, Patti, Patty. I have NO idea how his name is spelled. Actually, everybody at NateCo. Industries owns her. That's myself, Paddi/Paddy/Patti/whatever, Rick, Eric, and Jared. We decided that we also own Kate. Yep. I hope Ester comes back again, she was cool. The other person that Andrew had to volunteer for a couple weeks was cool, too. She was programming-savy. That's always a plus.

That PRETTY MUCH leads us to now. I don't have any real plans for the weekend. I'm guessing that I'm going to spend a large portion of it doing nothing. It will be fun. Maybe I'll find another game to play, and keep myself entertained THAT way this weekend. Well, whatever I do, I'm sure it will involve a lot of lazing about, and virtually no effort on my part. I'd LIKE to quote FIF on this and say 'It was Beautiful', but it hasn't happened yet. But it WILL be beautiful.

I also need to get to work on that essay about how I'm always right. And I should make Jared put up chapter one on the sidebar thing, so people can get to it easier. I want some FUCKING feedback on that. All I got was Seth's, after ordering him to post. I need more feedback before I write chapter two. MORE, DAMMIT!

I am really fucking wired right now. So let's rant about something. But what, oh what is there to rant about?

Yeah...Let's continue last night's discussion on the youth of today. Those snot-nosed little pricks at our schools. All the kids at the younger schools. While skimming Vero's LJ, I believe she mentioned something about a newspaper article about lowering the voting age or something. What, are you fucking stupid? That's a HORRIBLE idea. Kids are dumb. We need this time in order to mature and all that shit. Even just lowering it one year is dumb. I know a few complete dumbasses that now have or are soon going to be able to have the right to vote. THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING. This is a very bad thing. This is having our country's leaders influenced by people that still giggle uncontrollably at the mention of the word 'penis'. *waits for giggling to subside* Yes. I know, there are SOME mature people that are too young to vote, but suck it up. Just waits a little longer.

Anyways, let's go younger now. Fucking kids today. Goddamn motherfucking disrespectful little shitstains of kids. They're dumb as posts, too. I mean, some of them are dumb enough to try to attack people up to three times their size with a stick. Why the fuck do you do that? STUPIDITY. And they're WHINY little bitches. I mean, Rick's nephew, Tyson, is the perfect example of this. Lazy little shit. Always whining and complaining to get his way. I don't think I've ever been over there when he's there, and not hear him crying and whining at least ONCE. You know, the kind of crying and whining that goes away as soon as he gets his way, and people aren't arguing with him. Fucking maggot. And he's spoiled, too. Because he pisses and moans and whines. He gets everything he wants, and never gets punished for anything. The little fucker threw a rock at me before. So Rick and I, or least Rick with me present, gonna tell him that Santa doesn't exist. Because it'd be hilarious. Yeah.

Anyways, Justice League is starting soon, so that's my cue to find food and grab my blanket from upstairs.

Until next time,
Fight the power. Stick a fork in an electrical outlet. That'll show 'em who's boss!

Rave In The Mirror Maze

Sorry 'bout the lack of update last night...

Yeah, this is what I typed up LAST night, but then blogger decided to fuck up right near the end. Luckily I copied it, and saved it to my compy, so I have whatever I ranted about here for you now.

w00t.

~Last Night's Post~


I'd like to begin this post by saying that it's NOT MY FAULT. But I started out with saying that I'd like to begin this post...And, I'm confused.

By the by, there MAY be spelling and grammar errors in this post, simply because my keyboard is being a bitch tonight. And...My computer is lagging, so I can only see about half the message I'm typing without waiting for it to catch up. wooooooooooooooooo. Heh.

Anyways, run-down of the day.

Before class, wandered. Quiz first period. Jared missed it again. He slept in or something, but at the time, I was convinced that he was kidnapped by pirates. Well...Not at the time, but during break I was, after I spoke with the mighty Rion. After that, I went on a crusade to try to find pirates, and beat the whereabouts of Jared out of them. I got distracted and didn't find any, though. But then he showed up in third, so yeah. Second was generic second, quite boring and such. Third, Jared showed up, and Mr. Kam was teaching again. It was pretty fun, actually. I went to the Alias Club or whatever they call themselves during lunch, because Jared wanted to go to have his fingernails painted black. The show was somewhat interesting, but I didn't really care. I was only there 'cause Jared was. I'm a sheep. Then last period, I went to Foodland, and got food. Came back to microwave it, and the fucking microwaves turned off partway through again. They must cut the power to them sometime during last period, 'cause they always seem to turn off, but they never do it at the same time, because sometimes I have plenty of time to get back and do it, and sometimes I have none. It's damn annoying. Yeah. Anyways, that was pretty much the school day. Boring, really. Oh well.

When I got home, it got more interesting. Because I didn't go home. I went over to Rick's house and played WoW. I hadn't played my Paladin or my Druid in ages and ages, so I figured I'd give them a whirl. I did a few quests as Kataron, my Paladin, mostly involving going from place to place and not killing much, although there WAS one wherein I had to defend a Defias Traitor as he took me to the oh-so-secret location of...Some entrance to some mines or something, I dunno. Anyways, I did that, then I had to go. Dinner and the like. After dinner, I went over again, and watched Rick play his rogue, and pick-pocket a bunch of guys. It was pretty cool. Then I took a turn again, and this time, played Lasaria, my Night-Elf Druid. She's hawt. I got mad at that character before and stopped playing her, because the quest to get the Sea Lion form is just annoying. I spent a long time trying to work up my alchemy to be able to produce potions to breathe underwater, but that was annoying. Luckily, right now, I don't give a flying fuck about my Sea Lion form, so it's all good. I'm just doing the quests, I'll get it when I get it. And I've already improved my alchemy enough to get the underwater breathing potion, although I haven't gone back to the Night Elf island yet to learn it, and there aren't any alchemist trainers in DarkShore. Yeah. Haven't bothered yet, but it probably requires some new herb that I haven't come across yet. Though, I did find some Silverleaf, Peacebloom, Briar Thorn, and Earth Root today. Pretty generic, but I enjoy my herbalism skill. Yep.

It's kind of interesting, both of my characters are healers as well as fighters. The Paladin, he's got a ton of healing moves, defensive moves, as well as the ability to restore life to dead players. That's pretty sweet. And the Druid has three healing moves (at my level), one instant heal, and two heal-over-time moves. All in all, pretty good. I think one of the over-time moves is instant-cast, so that's pretty good...No waiting time. But yeah, the Paladin also is proficient in weapons like maces and stuff, so they can do some pretty good combat. The Druid has spells and stuff to back her (in my character's case) up, but can also transform into a bear and fight like that.
Yeah. I think that's enough video game ranting for tonight?

But what else is there for me to talk about?! Well, there is one thing...

There's a girl at school that reminds me of her. Like...visually. Hair, face, and clothes (in a way). She's younger, grade 9 or 10, I think. It's really creepy to see her in the halls, because then I can't help but think about her. She also seems to be dating a guy that I used to be fairly good friends with. Maybe one day I'll start seeing her wherever I look, get a sniper rifle, and shoot a bunch of people from some sort of tower. Now that would be cool.

I've also decided that I'm going to write an essay to prove that I am always right. I will relate it to all sorts of occasions where I have been right, and to occasions where I assume the reader has been wrong. I will also make reference to the creation of the world, in 1952. Yep.

Also, Eric and I have decided to write an essy about how pretty much all music sucks these days. We had a brief argument about music on the bus today, with two bitches that go to Heights. We commented on how everything on the radio was sucking ass, and they said that we were wrong. So we commented on a few of them, and how they suck. Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Jojo. That Jojo one pisses me off. She's got a song about breaking up and shit. How the fuck old is she? Like...thirteen, fourteen? What the fuck does SHE know about breaking up? If she's going to get into a relationship at that age, and expect it not to end in something stupid and then breakup, then she's just dumb. Kids are dating too damn young these days. They're not mature enough to be doing this like that. They should wait to be AT LEAST in high school before trying to have actual relationships. Sure, dances and shit, whatever, but anything more than that is just plain dumb at such a young age. Dumb and meaningless.

You know what? I just fucking hate the youth of today. Kids these days are so goddamn disrespectful. Our society is just raising them all wrong. I blame rap music. Rap music and bad parenting, there you go, that's why kids are fucked up these days. These kids have no fucking respect for anything or anybody. And am I the only one that sees something wrong with somebody that stands only to about your knees swearing at you and telling you to go fuck yourself? 'cause I sure as hell do. I didn't even really start swearing until I got to high school. And now you've got ilttle pint-sized fuckstains that are insulting people twice their size? The hell? And kids are constantly challenging any form of authority. In some cases, where you have a reason, I think that's cool, but if you just do it WHEVER THE FUCK you go, then you're stupid. Good job, you're a rebel. Fan-fucking-tastic. My mom was testing some little bitch in grade seven today, and she kept eating candy throughout the entire thing, and then dropped a bunch of wrappers at the end of the test. My mom suggested that she pick them up, so she picked up a few of them and put them in the garbage, leaving a bunch there. Yeah, good job, you're a fucking garbage rebel. I'd like to see a kid try that with Mr. Yanchus. now THAT would be interesting.

Anyways, it's time for Nate sleep.

Until next time,
The square root of...uhh...YOUR MOTHER!

CrossFire

Hiya, folkses.

Yeah...I've left the posting kinda late tonight, so I only have half an hour to rant about random shit. Yep.

Let's start with a run-down of the oh-so-shortened day.

Wandered before class. Nothing new about that. That's every day.

First, we learned...Oh, what was it...Yeah, I forget. Quotient Rule or something. Quiz tomorrow that I'm most likely going to fail. And I despise my English teacher. This is the first time EVER that I've disliked an English class. It's very disheartening. She was trying to make us do practice essays for the in-class essay we were going to do tomorrow. But it's been moved to Monday. Oh well. Three days of preperation is FAR too much for one stupid essay. We know the fucking structure of an essay. We've been writing them for years. We know about all that shit, you don't need to tell us again and again. BLARGH.

The student teacher took over today in class. Mr. Kam. He was pretty cool. I think I'm gonna enjoy the next couple weeks with him teaching. He was writing stuff on the board and such, instead of just teaching through examples. EXCITING! Although, his accent can be a little hard to understand at times. But other than that, he seems great so far.

Then spare, I just wandered. Generic wandering, always good. Yep. Then I met Jared, lockered, and my bus came uber-early. Steve yelled 'PENIS' really loudly out the bus window. Laughing ensued.

When we got back, Steve, Eric and I went to Rick's house, where an afternoon of gaming ensued. I'd like to add that Rick was also there, but was not included in the list because it should be assumed that if we're at his house, he's there. Yep. Anyways, we started out with some Half-Life 2 on the compy, and some Kingdom Hearts on the PS2. It went on like this for a while, until they started playing WoW instead, and we played two rounds of Galactic Conquest on Star Wars Battlefront. The first Match, Eric and I were the rebels, and owned the Empire, and in the second, I was the Empire and he was the Rebels, and I owned his sorry ass. I think he won...one match? By the end he just wanted to go back to Kingdom Hearts, and the last two matches, we were both killing his team to make it end faster. Yep.

And in Kingdom Hearts, we got to level eight (or was it nine?) before even leaving the first island. We are truly Gods. It took over an hour of repeated training, but we got it. Oh yeah, baby. Fun stuff.

Then home, and...well, boring-ness.

That was MY day.

I could rant more about how dumb common lunch is, and how Mr. Coffey's a complete fuckwit, but it would all be going over the same things again.

Not that I have anything new to say...

But I can at least bitch about old things that you haven't heard about in AT LEAST two days. I have no idea when the last time I mentioned her was. But with the ranting about common lunch, I know I haven't for the past two days. So yeah.

It's been...Geez, somewhere around six months now since it ended. But she still haunts me, my thoughts, my dreams...To be perfectly honest, I still cry myself to sleep on a semi-regular basis. I'm too tired to care about anybody knowing that right now. I can't forget her. I just...can't. God, how I want to. To forget all the pain...To be able to sit and think WITHOUT having her name, her face pop into my mind...Conversations we had...Emails that she wrote me...I still remember them. If I wanted to, I could quote things from old emails. But I don't want to. I want to forget. But that's not going to happen. No, that would be too easy.

Bah.

I'm going to bed.

Until next time,
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all.

Sad Melody

Yes, the name of the song IS Sad Melody. A bit odd, but yeah.

I don't think there's really much to report tonight...Other than bitching about common lunch, of course. But other stuff first.

'kay...So, new thing for the PSP. You can now play them...UNDERWATER!!!! A bit odd, but also kinda cool. For us nerds that don't like bathing. But yeah, you can buy a cover or something that makes it waterproof. Those CRAZY things they come out with over in Japan.

Also, they're making the another expansion pack for the Sims 2. The second, I believe, after the University Expansion pack. This one'll be the 'Nightlife' expansion, with swanky clubs and all sorts of stuff for Sim dating. I remember the Sims...Back before it started sucking ass. When it was new, simple, interesting. Before the eighty-bazillion stupid fucking expansion packs. The first two I liked, then...Yeah, stopped caring. I haven't checked out the Sims 2 yet, but I've heard good things. Yep. To quote some people on a webcomic once...I forget which...Paraphrasing, mind you, I don't remember the exact lines.

Person A: Has anybody ever told you that you need to get a life?

Person B: Didn't they make a Sim game about that? It sucked. 'nuff said.

Booyah.

Man...I REALLY want to see Sin City. I've heard such crazy things. It seems that everybody that makes webcomics has seen it, I've been seeing reviews everywhere. Squidi, Ctrl-Alt-Del, NuklearPower...Who HASN'T seen it? ME! But God, how I want to! The commercials look fucking incredible. And apparently there's a lot of blood and gore and stuff, but none of the blood is red. It seems to be pretty freakin' sweet. Nate want.

That's pretty much it for nerd news, which is the only type I really care about. Quick run-down of my day before the bitching starts.

Wandered before class. Learned the Product Rule in Calculus. Did abso-fucking-nothing in English. We've got the in-class essay on Thursday, the three days before it just HAVE to be preparation. Yeah...I don't even think I'm going to class tomorrow. Well, I might go and get kicked out, as I don't plan on doing the homework. I just spend the past hour and a half finishing a short story about World War 1 for that class, I don't really feel like doing any more English right now. So I'm just gonna wander around and shit after I hand in the short story. We had a quiz in programming today. Also, a new...Student teacher? Mr. Kam, I believe his name is. He seems likable enough, though I know literally nothing about him, I only heard him speak once or twice. He's in the 'watching' stage. I'm hoping this student teacher goes better than some have in the past...*couch*ologies*cough*. But hey, he could be another Mr. C :) Oh, Mr. Ceccato. I don't know if that's spelled right. He was an awesome student teacher. I miss him. Great sense of humour. Anyways, yeah.

Then at lunch...Let's see...Well, it was a generic lunch. During my spare, I began by going over to Zellers and getting cheap chocolate, chips, and coke. Then I came back and Kate found me, and wanted to go for a walk somewhere. It was either going outside of English, so I sucked it up and wandered over to Pizza Pizza with her. 'twas fun, I got a slice of pizza. Gotta pay her back, but yeah. I could tell a very interesting story about it...Something I found hilarious that happened there. But Kate would get pissed off at me. So I figure I just won't mention it. I'm amused because she over-reacted so much. I thought it was much smaller an event than she did, she was really freaking out. Which, of course, I find very amusing. Yep. Anyways, after that, we went to Tim Horton's, then back to school, and then the day was over.

But there was just one thing missing today...Jared wasn't there. Having woken up late and not feeling very well, he apparently stayed home. I managed to enjoy myself without him, though, although programming would have been FAR more entertaining with him. And Ben. Ben's been gone at some skill thing. Beth was in there yesterday, too. I think she tried to come in today, but Mr. Kaune wouldn't let her or something. It would have been much more entertaining with Jared, Ben, and Beth, but Mitch was quite funny. He's hilarious without his medication. But yeah.

Right, so I guess we'll move on to the bitchy ranting about the stupidity of common lunch.

Yeah. So, Mitch also informed me of something that I find quite interesting. Yeah, there's a maximum occupancy for the caf. 440 people. Mr. Coffey was talking about the possibility of putting rectangular tables in the caf to fit more people. Yeah, that'd be a fuckin' fire hazard. A lot of the 1800 students that go to Ross would want to eat in the caf. I'd guess at least half of th em. And that right there is twice the limit. So fuck you, that's not going to work.

Yeah, now there's also a petition going around, so if there's any readers that haven't signed it, I recommend that you do so. I doubt it will make a difference, but it should at least make them think twice before they fuck us over without discussing anything with us. Also, according to the LJ community which Vero gave the url to in a common on the last post, Sarah asked Ms. Burns if the petition would have any effect on anything, and she said that Sarah was being SELFISH.

What the fuck? How the fuck can you say that somebody who is taking an interest in the things that are affecting their school is selfish? Somebody who sees that you're doing something so very wrong, and is standing up against it? And the hundred students that signed the petition today alone? Are WE selfish? Because we care? Because we don't want to be fucked over by stupid power-tripping fuckshits that are making changes that affect us so fucking dramatically, without fucking asking us?

Apparently, they asked for input in the October school newsletter with the HUGE five sentence paragraph saying that they were considering it. Yeah, I remember that one. I remember talking to my friends about what a fucking stupid idea it was. See, that's not asking for input. Using a question, actually fucking ASKING for input, THAT is asking for input. And there's a lot of students that don't even read that. It's mostly for parents to have an idea of what's going on with their children's education. Sarah told her this, and was told that some decisions are best left to the authorities.

Fuck you. Just fuck you, you stupid fucks. Best left up to you? HOW THE FUCK IS THAT BEST LEFT UP TO YOU?! It's not fucking affecting you. It's not. You fucks just sit there in the office. You don't go to classes, you don't wait in line for lunch, you don't have to push through the halls to find your way to wherever you want to go during break. This doesn't fucking affect you. How the fuck can you say that it should be left in your stupid hands? It affects the teachers to some extent, I agree. But not as much as it affects the students. I don't give a flying fuck if you're the authority around the school. You could be the fucking Prime Minister, it's still not 'best left up to you'. So fuck you. You're just asking for trouble with this shit, and by the Gods, you're going to get it.

A hundred signatures in one day. Pretty much entirely during senior lunch. We've only just scratched the surface here. We're not done with this, not by a long shot. You're going to see that it was a bad idea to change this behind our backs without talking to us.

I don't know a single person who's in favour of this. Not a single one. Yet you seem to have found a whole bunch. We'll just see how that works out when there's a lot more names on that petition. We'll just see how many people are in favour of being fucked over like that. Yeah.

If they try to do shit that will increase the amount of people in the caf to over 440, then they're fucked. And people aren't going to want to eat in the halls.

Mr. Coffey just seems to be a dumbass. He's under the belief that he knows a thing or two about us, and about our school, because he used to teach here. Yeah, that's fan-fucking-tastic. I've been here for the last four years, and I'm going to be here for another one. It just keeps changing. No year has been the same as the last. You don't know jack shit about us or the school. You used to, sure. That means nothing now.

And the backpack thing. I heard from Duncan that it was just a rumour, but I also heard from Mitch that Mr. Rhyno said that they were considering it. And you know what? I want them to do it. I want them to implement this. Because I know nobody will do it. If they implement this, I will buy twenty backpacks. And if they ever try to take one away, I will wear another one. I will strap them all over my body and walk right into the office and ask to check the lost and found to see if I can find my backpack. I will do everything in my power to have a backpack on me at all times of the day. They will RUE the day they tried to implement that horrible plan.

I mean, I'm already going to completely fuck around with their stupid common lunches. I'm going to do everything I can to fuck that up. So hell, let them implement all the stupid policies they want. We will fight them on in the sea! We will fight them on the beaches! We will fight them in the air! THEY WILL RUE THE DAY THEY CROSSED ME. Hell, I'll be in my extra year. What the fuck can they do, stop me from graduating? HA. If they try to implement that shit, Jared and I will come up with plots and schemes and all sorts of diabolical masterpieces to fight them. They will hate us. It will be beautiful.

So fuck you, Mr. Coffey.
Fuck you, Ms. Burns.
This is taking too long...SHORT VERSION!
Fuck you EVERYBODY who isn't against this stupid fucking idea.

And thank God for people like Ms. Tremblay and Mr. Slater that prevented this shit from happening this semester. We wouldn't have had enough time to plan a rebellion that way. :)

Now we do.

Until next time,
Yeah baby.

Something Like Laughter

w3lc0m3 t0 t3h bl0g.

Yeah...Now don't nobody go translating that to full l33t, with all them damn dashes and stuff. Because I don't care. I LIKE the numbers, I DON'T like the stupid dashes. YOU HEARD ME.

All right...Oh, boy, is there ever a rant comin' on! It's been building up ALL fucking day! :)

But first!

It was decided at lunch today, by Jared and Devon, that there is CLEARLY some guy in Alaska that reads my blog religiously. I mean, not just figuratively religiously. I AM his God. He worships me. I call him Alaskaman. w00t. Not that any of YOU would know what it's like to be a GOD!

Yeah. So on to the big stuff. Right...So, Mr. Coffey decided that he'd come into my Calculus class this morning to tell us ALL ABOUT common fucking lunch next year. Yeah. He went on for a bit about...how good it is...blah blah blah...etc. Yeah. That's basically it. Then he asked for comments or questions. I said (in a strangely quivering voice that I get whenever challenging figures of authority...) something along the lines of:

"Yeah...Did you try asking any students about this? I mean, I don't recall being asked. Was anyone else in the class asked about this?"

Of course, nobody else had been. And my pointed was proved, and the debate got underway. Muahahaha. Mr. Coffey said that oh, he'd talked to the Student's Council members about it, and how they were our representatives. Beth pointed out that we hadn't voted for them, so they shouldn't really be our representatives. So yeah...Plus, I talked to somebody on student's council about it. They were forced to have a debate about it, in which they had to have both sides, and that's where he got some of the points for his little list. And apparently, most of them were against it anyway. So yeah...

That pisses me off. So very fucking much. How the FUCK can they institute some stupid fucking new shit, without even CONSULTING the student body? Yeah...So most of the teachers were all for it. Yeah, that's fucking great. What about the 1800 STUDENTS that go to Ross? What, we're not IMPORTANT enough to be consulted about something that affects us so? Fuck you, you stupid motherfuckers. Only the teachers matter, apparently. That and the infallible words of Mr. Coffey. Note that the previous statement was quite literally dripping with sarcasm. NOTE IT.

Yeah. Common Lunch won't work. It's a stupid fucking idea. Do you REALLY think that you can take away our break, shove that fifteen minutes into common lunch, and think it makes up for that fact that you're forcing all 1800 students to eat during the same hour? The caf is always completely filled anyway. Do you really think that you can fit more students in there? He was talking today about how he was going to open up a few more halls to us to eat. The main floor, he said. What, are you fucking daft, man? What the fuck are you opening up? That ONE hall at the back? Because people are already in all of the other halls...Well, except the drama hall, I guess. Yeah, people are always in E.L. Fox. They're always in the Tech hall. I eat lunch down that middle hall. So what, you think that people are just going to be content with another hall? Fucking stupid. Yeah, and even if you do open up more halls, there are a lot of people that won't eat in them. The people that want to eat at TABLES. That won't eat on the floors. Yeah. What about them?

How fucking stupid are you, to think that it's going to work with double the number of students with just an extra fifteen minutes? Have you ever TRIED to get anywhere during break? Oh, you know break. That fifteen minute period between first and second that you're stealing to put into lunch? Yeah. That's the one. If you've ever tried to go anywhere during that time, to get from point A to point B, or perhaps point C, although NOBODY wants to go to point D...Anyways, if you've actually done that before, you'd know how completely filled the halls get. Now you're saying that's how it's going to be at lunch? Thank God that I'm going to be in my extra year, one of the oldest students there, top of the fucking food chain, so I don't need to worry about any foolish grade nine's that get in my path. If you're religious, pray for them.

That's another thing. There's going to be a lot more students around, and there's going to be a lot more bullying. I know a lot of people in my grade that don't think that grade nine's count as people, and by the Gods, I'm one of them! When we have common lunch, I WILL be bullying grade nine's. There's no question about that. They will suffer.

But yeah....Pisses me right off. I don't understand how they can do that. I've also heard of petitions that were passed around to STOP it before it got to this stage. I never saw any of them, though...Not that our opinion matters. We're just the students that have to live with it.

You know, we'd actually be having common lunches THIS semester if it hadn't been for Ms. Tremblay and Mr. Slater. The department heads voted, and the two of them, as well as one other person I don't know the name of, were the only reason that it's not happening now. And everybody else was for it. Stupid bastards.

It affects US. It affects US more than it affects the teachers, I think. Oh, great, now a few more students can come in for extra help, and a lot more can NOT. Fucking fabulous.

I swear to God, if they make one more stupid policy that changes the way we do things around the school without telling us...OH WAIT. That brings us to our next point, DOESN'T IT?!

Yeah. Duncan, in programming, said something about how we weren't going to be allowed to have...backpacks next year or something? He said it was just a rumour, but there was something about how we weren't going to be allowed to have them. Which is completely fucking stupid. How the fuck do you expect us students to get by without BACKPACKS? Seriously, you must be mentally fucking retarded if you think that. Duncan, being the cool guy that he is, dumped out the contents of his backpack and tried to carry them around. Didn't work so well.

And that could be what the expect us to do. First they make a common lunch, then they might be doing THAT.

You know what? Fuck them. What are they gonna do, take my backpack away? If they try to inforce that bullshit, there will be Hell to pay. Of this, I assure you. :)

I think that pretty much covers the bases for tonight. There were some very good debates today. Very good. In both Calculus and programming.

Oh wait...There's another thing that I kinda wanted to rant about.

Apparently, there might not be a grad sleepover next year. I find this somewhat amusing.

Yeah....So there were some things messed up. The sports wall thing was kinda cut up, the pictures and stuff, and I think some people scratched swastikas into the doors or something.

But something else I heard was just hilarious.

I also heard that there was drinking, drugs, and SEX.

For the drinking, you checked. Maybe you should get a system of checking that works or something. Yeah. I don't doubt that it happened, but you people checked, so don't bitch at us about the fact that you missed stuff. You and your flawed systems.

The drugs...Yeah, I don't really think so. I know some guys went outside to smoke twice. But they were smoking cigarettes. So they were't smoking pot or doing drugs and stuff. Hell, I probably consumed the most drug stuff there with all of my caffeine!

And the sex? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. If somebody pulled that off, that's fucking HILARIOUS! But how would they do it? I mean, the other halls were not just closed off, but CHAINED off. Impossible to access. There was no privacy anywhere. The only way that people could have done it would be in the washrooms, and that could happen at any time, not just grad sleepovers. Or two people fucked in a sleeping bad...Without anybody else noticing. That'd be interesting. But do you actually believe that people fucked there? Get real.

So to sum everything up...Mr. Coffey, you are a communist. :)

You can't fuck with us without there being some reprocussions. And by the Gods, there will be.

Until next time,
Fuck shit whore motherfucking asshole cocksucking god damn bitchass shitfucking communist pepsi-drinking pedophile SONS OF BITCHES.

On Distant Shores

Hiya.

Yeah...Haven't posted a real post in three days, so I figured I'd give you one tonight.

Grad sleepover was great, but before I get into that, I have to bitch about something. Skip ahead if you don't care.

I fucking hate my computer. It just pisses me off in general. And it pisses me off even more that my dad is unwilling to get a new computer unless my marks get better. I'm going to have to talk him out of this, because it's fucking stupid. My computer is nothing more than a web-enabled paperweight right now. That's ALL it is. It's a piece of shit. Pentium 2, 7.8 gig hard drive. Never been upgraded. The keyboard is fucked up, and as been for months and months and months. I've been TRYING to get my parents to buy a new one, but it still hasn't happened. The connection is fucked in the back, so it just stops working every now and then. Then I have to find a position for the keyboard where the cable is JUST right. That can take up to five minutes or more. It's actually getting progressively worse. Soon it will be completely useless. And when it goes, the mouse goes too. Whenever the mouse is moved with the keyboard messed up, nothing happens except for a loud angry noise from the computer. And as if that weren't bad enough...I cannot open the disc drive. It won't open. It's busted. It's fucked. Which then renders the hundreds of dollars worth of computer games that I own completely useless to me...Nothing more than shiny frisbees. Yep. That's my game collection! Shiny fucking frisbees. I've been trying to convince my parents to get a new computer for ages. Right now, ALL it can do is internet. And it does this pretty badly. In all honesty, I could push the computer off of this table right now, and watch it smash, and all I would be losing is internet access on it. And for THAT, I could technically use my mom's laptop, as long as I'm not playing games. So yeah.

My dad's been talking about getting a new computer lately, but he's got all this bullshit about marks and how I have to be getting good before he'll get a new one. Which is dumb, because it's not only affecting me here. So yeah. I can't do jack shit on it until it, or at least parts of it, are replaced. And even if parts of it ARE replaced, it's still a six-year old piece of shit.

And you wanna know what's worst? After all the talk my dad has been doing about getting a new computer, we may not be getting one. Because my mom was just cut off of disability by her stupid fucking insurance company, and now we're short on money. Yeah. So I'm pissed off about the whole thing.

Anyways, that's enough bitching about that. Let's move on to other stuff. News stuff first, then other stuff.

So yeah...The pope died. Interestingly enough, I heard this while Rick was playing World of Warcraft. Somebody mentioned it, then a bunch of people were jackasses about it. I understand that you may not care, you might not be religious, you might , but you could at least show some fucking respect for the guy that just died. I'm not sure if people can get in trouble for being jackasses like that in WoW, but if not, they should. Yeah. I mean, I don't particularly care. I've even talked about killing the Pope and assuming his power. Rick and I have joked about 'The Pope Stand' in WoW, and probably some other things. But I'm not going to be an ass about it just an hour after the man died. I don't give a damn about it, but I at least have enough respect not to do shit like that.

Yeah.

Also, Terri Schaivo died. Not gonna go more into that because...I dunno, I'm just not.

Uhh...Not sure about other news stuff, so let's talk about the sleepover. After school on Thursday, I went to Jared's house with him, and had a pretty good time talking to him and stuff. We don't get enough chances to talk about stuff, as we live in different locations, and all that. And when we DO get to talk, there are generally other people around, so we can't talk about all of our secret plots and schemes and all sorts of other things. But yeah, that was a lot of fun. We tried to answer our Q6 questions before we left, but the site was messing up with so much traffic, and we couldn't get on. We also talked to Ben, and found out that he couldn't make it to the sleepover 'cause he didn't buy a ticket...He hadn't had enough money on Wednesday, and was gone all day at a rugby thing. And this REALLY pisses me off, because he tried to get in. He tried to get in, with his fairly good excuse, and he couldn't. He couldn't, and I was told that some other guy, who just...FORGOT...managed to get in. How the FUCK does that work? Fucking stupid is what it is. Yeah. But anyways, Jared and I stocked up on the essentials before we went in. You know, four 2L bottles of coke, two bottles of Bawls, two bags of chips. The usual. Yeah. We also brought Jared's computer, which was totally fucking awesome. Not his computer. Just the fact that we had it. His computer is somewhat worse than mine, I think...But hey, it works. More than you can say for Felix...Anyways, yeah.

We set up the computer in the caf, and then Mitch arrived with his baby. Totally blew Jared's out of the water. 'twas funny to see how much it hurt Jared to have somebody bring a computer so much better than his own, and seem even nerdier. Yeah. Once that was set up, Jared and Mitch played Biker Mice From Mars, an old SNES racing game, on Mitch's compy. It was cool to watch, and funny to see Jared lose. I'm not entirely sure what came next, but I think there was a lot of wandering and music, and eventually I sat around the foyer and watched the latter third or so of Napoleon Dynamite. Great movie. I was basically just there for the dancing scene. Fuckin' great scene. Then a few of us started watching Spiderman 2. A few of us being myself, Jared, Erika, Nicky, and...I think his name is...Ian...Yeah. He's in my English class. He watched it with us, as well as his girlfriend. He was cool about us commenting throughout the ENTIRE movie, so it was pretty cool :p Yeah. It was a lot of fun. After that, I think people started wandering off, and it was about...umm...A bit later than midnight. Yeah. Oh, also...Before I started watching the first movie, Kate decided that she wanted to paint my fingernails bright pink. Well, she'd decided that earlier, but she got there with her nail polish, so...yeah. Just thought I'd get that in there.

After Spiderman 2, things get a wee bit hazy...Drank the Bawls, and ended up playing Majesty for a while...I remember yelling at my units. A lot. Bastards kept dying. When you lose 90% of your health, you should NOT keep fighting! Bastards. Yeah...Played that for a while. Quite a while. Then I wandered off and found Jared talking to people, so I joined in. 'twas fun. I think we were talking to...Kate and Martha. And possibly the girl that was sitting near Kate, but I have no idea what her name is. Yeah. They finished watching The Mummy 2, and eventually Ferris Bueller's(sp?) Day Off was put in. Great movie...So funny...But I was getting pretty tired by then, so I laughed less than I would have otherwise. That went on for quite a while...Five in the morning came and went, and Mr. Kaune arrived. He was taking pictures of people for the yearbook, which I found rather amusing. 'cause they were sleeping and stuff. Yeah. Anyways, after that...I think I ended up in the foyer, and was talking with people for a while. After a time, people started waking up and packing up, and I helped Mitch take his compy to his mom's car, and he went home. I should have gone with him...I could have gotten a ride home and slept all day, but I wanted to try school. Not the best idea. But we're not QUITE there yet.

After all this, I ended up in the caf where Jared was talking with people for a while. I don't really...fit in...with the group that he was talking to, so I just sort of...sat at another table and rested up a bit. I slept for about five minutes, then woke up and told Jared that we had to get Cornelius (his compy) to the computer room for safetyness. It was moved, and I started wandering around with my music, while he...I'm not entirely sure. I think he wandered too, but he might have gone back to the group. I mean, I would have gone back to the group. It was mostly female. That's a good group to be with, in my opinion. But yeah, I was talking to people for a bit, and ended up in Calculus.

At this point, I was almost falling asleep. A lot. I came so very close to dozing off many times in that class, but always stayed awake. Then when I tried to sleep near the end of class, after the lesson, I couldn't. DAMMIT ALL! Then break occurred, and...well, quite frankly, I have NO idea what happened there. I assume I wandered with music. Yeah. In English, I pretty much slept. It was cool, though getting to sleep is always rather difficult for me. In programming...Well, I tried to read stuff from the site, but it was all...tired. Yes. IT was tired. I also answered my Q6 question. Got it right REALLY easily. Thank you, Google! Then lunch came and I tried to sleep under the stairs, but a bunch of people showed up and it didn't happen...Then last period, I moved over a bit under the stairs, where I was kinda in view of people walking by, and tried to sleep. Sarah came by, apparently having an ISP (INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER! Sorry...), and asked if she could play music there. I said sure, and continued to try to sleep. I think the music might have helped some, 'cause I fell asleep pretty easily. Good old guitar. Yeah. I woke up with a large puddle of drool on my backpack, and a party consisting of Jared and Kerry Toonen had wandered in, and they were talking to Sarah. I straightened up and joined in, but was still damn tired. And slightly drooly. Yeah. Then we wandered off yet again...And I'm not entirely sure what followed. I remember comments about my fingernails on the bus ride home, and I remember sleeping for three hours as soon as I got home. Good times. Then youth group, and Risk. It was fun. But I was damn tired...

Oh, that reminds me.

Honourable blog mention goes to DAVE! He mentioned how he's never spoken of on here, so I figured I'd do that. Yep.

And as SOON as I got home, I collapsed in bed and slept for over twelve hours. Ah, good times. Good times.

The rest of the weekend consisted of video games. And only video games. Apparently, I woke up during the last few minutes of a power outage. But it ended right then. Just after I noticed it, and resigned myself to the fact that I couldn't play video games, my clock started flashing 12:00. Then I went down to VideoPlex and rented The Incredibles for GameCube.

Holy fuckpiss. That game was REALLY fucking hard. I mean, wow. You'd think it would be easy...It wasn't. Some of the puzzles took a very long time to get through. On one level, I spent over half an hour trying to swing across moving things, trying to get to a door. Yeah...Freakin' hard. Although, the boss of the game was a piece of cake. It was very anti-climactic. /sigh. But it was fairly entertaining...There were a bunch of things that could have been improved, but I've seen far worse. Yeah.

I spent a long time playing and beating that this weekend, and I spent a while at Rick's, playing Half-Life 2 and such. Yep. Fun fun fun. I think I'm gonna get back into World of Warcraft over there, too. I'd like to have my druid get all them crazy transformations...Yeah.

Anyways, it seems that I must be off.

And as a sidenote...DAMN YOU, BETH, FOR GETTING YOUR Q6 WRONG!

Until next time,
I am the Free Man. Give me your guns and ammunition!

The Untimely Death Of Brad

Yeah.

I'm still alive. For now.

I just didn't post in the last two days because of grad sleepover, and then sleep. Yeah...No sleep at the grad sleepover, though. Only during classes and then at home.

I'm still kinda tired, though.

And frustrated at a certain game. You'd think a game based on a Pixar movie would be easy....BUT IT'S NOT. Fucking hard.

Anyways...Yeah. If I'm still awake later, I'll post again. But no promises.

Until next time,
Quite frankly, I prefer the company of head-crabs to you. And they have that horrible screech that they do. You know....SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETCH. But really high-pitched. Yeah.
