Ive been pretty sick over the weekend, god it really sucks when you pretty much stay in your room for three days. Well Im feeling quite a bit better now, and not too long till spring break, two weeks... thats gonna be fun.
Its incredible though, even when I was sick I wrote a paper for my english class and when we did peer reviews, I found that people just plain suck at writing compared to me. Maybe its that they girl I reviewed was just authentically didnt understand english very well, but its really depressing when you cant find a single redeeming quality in a fellow students paper.
Anywho I finally got some studying done today, the more I read about American history the more I hate America. How fucking long did it take us to get over the whole "hate black people for no real reason" thing. After World War I white southerners would just randomely lynch former black soldiers in an effort to keep them below the white man. When I read that I couldnt believe it, I was like "nuh uh that is so 1875". And now that we finally got over the racism thing we have reverse racism, its awesome.
Right now Im gonna go to a little discussion group thingie I go to every week. Its gonna be about gay marriage, yeah I bet Ill be the only one actually defending it and Ill be right, thats the first half hour, the second half hour theyll be trying to figure out why Im defending gay rights even though Im not gay because they obviously didnt understand the first half hour. Ive been through this before. Fun though.

10:59 am - Oh Boy
|
Ive got a test tommorow on this book Im only half way done with, looks like all day Im gonna be reading. Its a pretty entertaining book though, so its not too bad.
Ive been playing a game called sea man recently, sorta a really advanced Virtual Pet. The funny thing is the game's narrator is Leonard Nemoy (apparantly hes some actor from star trek or something). Everytime you play the game he sorta tells you the condition of your pet and how good/bad a parent you have been. Apparantly if you play the game more than twice a day he says you dont need to play that much. Yesterday I logged into the game for the fifth time that day and he said "If one didn't know better, Id say you didn't have much else to do". Great, Im being called a loser by Leonard Nemoy. The fucker has to deal with Star Trek fans yet he finds me pathetic. Whats worse, when I log on to Sea Man today my SeaMan just starts saying that Im dumb that I dont feed it enough. The first words the damn thing says and its insulting me. God I love this game.
Oh well, I better get started, I dont read very fast and Ive got to get a good 150 pages done, not to mention review and stuff. I know a guy who knows how to speed read, but hes a jerk and wont teach me.

Im about to take my astronomy test in about 20 minutes. I dont think Ill do too well, but I know they atleast drop one grade from the class. Astronomy is okay until you get to the actual astronomy part, the history part is actually interesting but thats about it. Yesterday when DJ asked me what astronomy is like I responded "its basically physics with shit you cant see." God I wish I wasnt so accurate.
Anywho IM skipping psychology right now in order to write an assignment I forgot to do for English today. Its alright though, going to psychology class is pointless, the main purpose of the class is to go on the psych ai program and memorize crap. A grand way to suck the fun out of what should be a very entertaining class. No matter what anyone tells you dont ever take Kasschau or anyone that uses Psych-Ai.
I talked to Mario yesterday online, an old friend from back where I live. Hes taking like three math courses at the same time, sucks to be him. It also reminded me of how everything back home is fucked. Everyones either moved away or dead or something, its as if I was the only thing that was keeping the damn place together or something. Eh, I guess Ive been feeling pretty nostalgic. I saw an episode of mission hill yesterday that sorta showed how I felt, this guy moves away from home, loses it and runs back home only to find its not really there. Then he pees in the shower and parties with crooked cops. I supposed I should too.

I love getting up at around 12. Yesterday was a whole lot of nothing except for at around midnight when we all (Colin, Brandi, Andrew, and me) decided to go out and drive around. We went to where the two starbucks are right across the street from eachother, very amusing. Then we just drove around aimlessly for a while. I got to see that Colin does not know how to drive at all, really scary to be in the car when hes in control of it. Other than that and a little studying, yesterday was pretty uneventful.
Today Im gonna study more for astronomy and then go with Brandi to the library to study some more. I havent really done anything for that class until this weekend, with any luck Ill be able to do well on the test on monday. This stuff doesnt seem that hard, its just that astronomy never really seemed that interesting to me. The only reason I took it was because Brandi said it would be okay and she would help me. She is a horrible horrible person.

Sorry I havent updated in a butt load of a long time. There is a reason for that though. A lot of stuff has been happening. Too much to talk about, but basically yeah Im back in college bla bla bla. Ill just talk about my day today.
I planned to do more studying to day (its a feeling a get a lot of lately) but Im happy with what I did. I read some astronomy and I actually enjoyed it. Its very interesting learning about the great progess of what is basically just having a lot of spare time and looking at the stars. Yeah and the Catholic Church was a real prick about the whole "Heliocentric" thing. Bastards.
Anywho, I did take a psychology test today and I felt I did really well in it. I was actually quite nervous about it. Brandi was completely sleepy and half dead in the morning. I worry about her, but then again for someone who is supposed to be half asleep she grasps things pretty well during our classes (save for a nap here and there).
Ive been playing StarFox Assault, I bought the game without playing it beforehand. Its usually a risk I wouldnt be willing to take to buy a game I have never played before, but it turned out okay for this one. Its really fun, though its not too different from the 64 one (except for being able to switch ships and ofcourse incredible graphics and an actual story) but thats not really a problem.
I find Ive actually been pretty proud of my papers in English, Ive gotten perfect grades on all my papers (but thats not saying much since the teacher is obviously soft on grading so far) but I do feel that I actually write quite well. Maybe I will post them on here one day and probably get them criticized and my dreams ruined. Oh well.

8:31 am - Going back soon
|
Im going back to college this saturday and to be honest I cant wait. I miss everyone over there and people here all have jesus fish stickers and "support our troops" yellow banner thingies on their trucks. Not that I dont like our troops mind you, but when someone has a "support our troops" sticker it usually is equivalent to saying "Bush is right, if you disagree Jesus hates you". Why must everyone here have trucks anyway, jeez even my dad has a truck (which I occasionally have to drive around in). Its not like anyone is carrying huge loads, all they are is gas chuggers, too big, ugly, and less passenger space. Seems like a lose lose situation to me.
Anywho today is my day off and I am realizing that I have absolutely nothing to do. Im trying to think of any games I could play. I dont have anything decent to read, and right now all there is on TV is either a soap opera or an informercial. Gee maybe my days off arent that great. Ive been trying to think of a good anime to watch, I think hime would be pretty nice but I can never find it on Ares. I cant wait to go back to AnK and for them to guide me again and show me some decent anime.

Its been a while since I have updated hasnt it? Jeez I sure have let myself go. Truly it represents what I have been up to this vacation. Nothing.
Well to an extent. Ive been talking to all my friends which is great. Really fun, had forgotten how nice it was farting infront of all of them. Watched FMA about a million times with them (showed it to one person... then another... then another... *sigh*). Christmas was with my family, nice, I actually like the holiday despite my beliefs. I got Prince of Persia the warrior within (talk about a butchering of a character, the game is a full tribute on how to ruin a game with a sequel), Paper Mario 2 (also known as paper crack), and Fiddler on the Roof DVD (awesome, my sister especially loved it. TRADITION!). And new years... all that good stuff.
New years was funny. I always enjoy debating with my dad and grandfather about everything (from videogames to movies to religion to politics to everything else). But at one point I realized that when I was trying to explain to them the flawed concept of Pascal's theory, they were completely drunk and nothing was really getting through. Fun to be had by all.
If Josue is reading thing... thanks alot for the ridiculous amount of rides you have given me!
Ill be going back to college at around the 15th, its gonna be bittersweet. I really want to see my college friends again and the whole college shindig is always fun, but I really love my friends here.
Ive already finished Paper Mario 2... youd be surprised how such a silly game can have such an intense final battle. Warrior Within may be broken, I think Angela has it, I dont care quite frankly. Oh and my sister has a new dog named "Vodka". My dad always names the dogs, just look at the pattern "Tequila" "Whisky" "Conac"(sp?). These have all died within the past four years. I give Vodka two months. If I felt pity for dumb animals... I would for this one.
On a less dark and disturbing note, its my day off tommorow. Yei I get to do nothing. Ciao

Its about damn time I update this again isnt it? Well I just completely kicked the crap out of all my tests. Now all I have is my College Algebra test and Im pretty certain I am going to ace that.
I really love college and Ive meet some really great people here, but I look forward to going back home (for more than a week) and getting to talk to all my friends. I am horrible at keeping in touch with them (in fact, I am horrible at keeping in touch with some of my college friends... sorry) so seeing them will be nice. I know Josue is gonna be happy to see me, but hes a homosexual. Ew.
City of Heroes is really having a negative affect on me, I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on that game, it is addicting as hell. My character is the blue destiny. Hes one bad ass mother fucker. Infact... PICTURE TIME!
Here is my first picture, right after I created the character. His name is the Blue Destiny, as of right now he pathetically weak and is greatly challenged by battling skinny purse snatchers.
I learn to fly! Well, not really, more like hovering. Hovering is just like flying, only ridiculously slow. Still.. it is neat.
Here I am part of a super hero group. We are all dancing while waiting for the rest of the party to get there. We were about to go on a dungeon crawl (for all you lame people, that means we go into a place with a lot of enemies). Unfortunately, despite the fact that we're so eager and happy, as soon as the mission started we got our asses handed to us and all died.
Ahh, my first successful team mission. What a great feeling, the enemy was tough, but with teamwork and perserverence we made it through. Here I am doing the monkey.

Studying for finals is a very interesting thing. The past few days thats what Ive been doing, but its fun because Colin and Brandi are here and they have to study (more than me in fact). Its nice really that hard to study, and what I do is take periodic breaks, like study for an hour and then maybe read a manga online or go for a quick round of Super Smash Bros Melee (my friends back at high school played this, and now my friends at college play it).
It was pretty hilarious, Colin was pretty much forced to tutor this one jackass who hadnt studied for his history class once, hadnt read the text or any of the books. He attended only about half the lectures but slept through most of the ones he did attend and hardly took any notes. Not only that but the guy was a general asswipe, being reallyu rude when Colin was trying very hard to summarize an entire course in an hour. When he left Colin said "Jackass" (which was me and probably Brandi's exact sentiments) and the guy opened the door again and Colin covered it up by saying "Im such a jackass". I have to admit that was really clever.
My math practice test I got a 94 on, Im very proud of myself and the test isnt until next tuesday, I know Brandi will help me and I can just go over the practice test among other things before then. My History test is tommorow but I hardly have to worry about that. The main concern is Economics, which I havent even studied for. The test isnt until Saturday, so I think Ill go over it thursday and friday.

Today has been an exciting week. I did really well on the final I took on thursday and yesterdays math test went well. I finally got moved into Colins room. Its pretty nice, I always have someone to talk to and people come over a lot, have to admit having my own room was nice but it got kinda lonely.
Yesterday we went to the village and I got a huge FMA wallscroll and two really awesome figurines. One thing I didnt notice about the wallscrolll until I opened it up and hung it up was that it wasnt just ed and al sitting together as I had originally thought, its them after their encounter with scar where al is torn in half and eds arm is destroyed. Its a very sweet picture though, sorta displays the whole brotherly thing the series has.
I registered for classes next semester and its really neat since every single one of them I have atleast one friend in there. English, Astronomy, and Psychology Im taking with Brandi and its gonna be a mad dash since they are all back to back (10-11, 11-12, 12-1) but Brandi will always be there helping me with my work so thatll be good. I have Colin for the second half of history and I believe Josh will probably be with us. Its nice to have friends in classes with me, if not just for the help it will be nice to have someone to talk to about the subject and how bad/good the professor is.
Speaking of which Ive been filling out teacher evaluation forms lately, hope my economics teacher cant recognize my handwriting, I really bashed the fucker. The only positive thing I wrote about him was "he does seem to have a vague understanding of economics". My other teachers I rated pretty well, my history teacher Moretta is a god among history teachers, its kinda funny cuz he often catches himself starting a rant about current day politics (and how he hates Bush).. He did that last thursday while we were reviewing for the finals and he suddenly stopped and said "better get back on track, none of this stuff is on the final!" Though I do think its a bad thing for teachers to show their political bias in class, but I swear I would pay just to hear this guy rant about Bush.

This is right smack in finals time right now. Ive got my political science test on thursday and I was quite worried about it until I took a gander at my grades in the last exam (which were finally put up). Looks like Im doing quite well. Economics is always easy, truth is Im not even sure when the exam is but it could be tommorow for all I care, theres nothing my teacher could pull that could make me fail. Then theres Math, oh math, my old nemesis. I hate the living daylights out of it, but Ive been doing well in recent tests and really well in quizes (thanks John!) so unless I completely bomb the final (which is the only test I think I need to spend an all nighter studying for) I should be fine.
History I am the grand master of. The last exam I took I got a 94, it was on a book I hadn't finished reading. Shit man, I am a god at history, everything is going so well for me in that class. Despite that though I had recently been thinking of switching majors to History. Right now I am a business major but Im not cut throat enough for that so I was thinking about history, but then I realized the real reason I grew interested in history was because of how fun analyzing the psychology of great historical figures was.
I have grown very interested in psychology, and I definately want to atleast take the damn class to see how deep that interest goes (its a damn basic anywho). I wonder what I could do with a psychology major though? Like my dad says, I cant open up a Psychology store, but hey it would make me happy, and maybe if I could get really good at it I could have enough of an understanding of people to make people I dont like depressed.
Oh well, right now, even though I should be studying, IM so overconfident from these recent events that Im gonna just play Mario DS (DS kicks ass!) and maybe dance a little. Ciao.

But until its my birthday I have a lot of shit to get done. I just finished writing a 3000 word essay about my political views.... and thats a lot more frustrating than it sounds. Ive got to finish this book my tuesday. Plus I got to study for a bunch of tests. Not to mention who knows what the hell my economics teacher is gonna pull. But atleast theres no school thursday and friday, so Im going home and Im getting a DS, thanks to angie. And plus everyone whos reading this has to send me a present too.
This weekend all Ive done is read stuff... and study and such. Oh and I totally owned my last Math test, take that bitch. And I keep getting this weird ass stuff in my mail. The Maxim seems to have stopped but I get this magazine "College Life for christians" telling me what colleges are good for christians to go to. Too bad Im already in college morons. And theres also the small detail that I wouldnt fit in quite well in a christian college.
I hope my parents get me something really awesome this weekend. Like an iPod or something, that would be hella cool. Oh well, Im gonna go shoot myself (as in study for economics). Ciao

God thats a catchy song. Anywho, past few days have pretty much been cram time for me. I realize how much I have to read by thursday, and by tuesday, and by wednesday..... yeah its pretty bad. I can handle it though, I just need to buckle down and concentrate :)
Ive been reading this book about how the values are divided in america, titled.... "the values divide" and it has made me hate Bill Clinton and hate Republicans and dislike democrats. Fun for everyone.
Also in history I had to write two papers (only 3 pages each mind you) and I am tired of slavery. Look at how bad it is:
The History of the United States in the 1800s
Slavery & Cotton
Seriously, thats all there is to it Im tired of it. Its not even interesting, people were all illiterate dumbasses back then and even most abolitionists were against slavery only for economic reasons. There were no heroes, even Abraham Lincoln was a dick.
Besides that this Thursday Im gonna go to my first college party type thing. I wont get drunk and I wont gamble and I wont smoke, because I dont do those things. I begin to question what the point of going is at all. Oh yes, to get laid. Its all clear now.

Havent updated in a while have I? Well not that much new stuff has happened. Been doing alot of reading and alot of same ol same ol' Not that Im complaining but just not a very interesting thing to write about.
Saturday me and John went exploring Houston, we didnt do it on purpose mind you, but he knew what bus to take but he didnt so we got sort of lost for a while. Then when we finally figured out where we were we went and we say The Incredibles (my second time) and that was fun. Apparantly zero point energy is actually a scientific thing and is really cool according to John. The we went to the hobbit cafe. This is a cafe, based on the hobbits from lord of the rings. You dont get much geekier than that. The food was really good and the waitresses were hot, and there was some guy dressed up as gandalf there.
Today I mostly stayed in my room and 'studied', as in played MegaMan 7 and beat it. Dr Wily is a bitch and he should die. I REALLY need to get more reading done and study up on math. I did well in the last test, but I need to keep it up ^^;
One thing thats interesting that I learned this week is that according to Christian mythology (if your a christian and are sensitive about your faith, please stop reading now) if someone accepts Jesus into their lives, then they are saved. Now I usually hang out with a group of Christians on Campus guys, and I once prayed with them (yeah yeah, well there was so much peer pressure, I just wanted to be cool) and now Im considered 'saved'. Now when you are saved, you are saved no matter what, Jesus has died for your sins and no matter when you do you are going to heavan. The only reason you would want to pray and do good christian things is because it is enjoyable (please refrain from laughing too hard). This is a very interesting predicament, basically according to christian mythology, at this point I could die driving a bus full of nuns into an orphanage and still go to heavan. Excellent.

11:24 pm - What a fun filled weekend!

This weekend was fun, got to see Raymond, Josue, and Angie. We went to see "The Incredibles" which is the best superhero movie Ive seen. So action packed... so generally neat :) So sad in certain parts and it shows why I love superheros. A lot less comedy and alot more action than most pixar movies, and it was a little darker than you would expect in a Pixar movie. Sort of an interesting direction.
I also went to a family reunion and my lesbian cousin brought her live in girlfriend. That went over REALLY well. Later on me an my family (grandpa uncles aunts) had a really nice talk. I had never had such a nice conversation with my family, it made me really close to them, its strange since now that Im in college and far away Im suddenly very close to them. It went really well.
Today I went swimming with Brandi and Colin, and then Bosco (I have a feeling I butchered his name) and Johnny came by and joined us in basketball wrestling. Johnny was on my side, he sucks at it ;). We lost pretty miserably. And then I saw the first half of fiddler on the roof with Peggy, great movie.
Bla bla bla screwing random girls bla bla bla....

This is my last post for a while, Im going home for the weekend, its my dads birthday. Right after I post this Im gonna go to take my third math test. I didnt do too hot in the first two, but this time John "tutored" me and I should do atleast better, Ive got 95s on the quizes so it shouldnt be too tough.
Anywho the past few days Ive spent a lot of time just studying and reading, its getting close to crunch time. Its all good though, history and political science is fun and economics is ridiculously easy. Math I dont have to study much at all but studying for math is really hard since I hate it so much.
Today I pretty much just spent in the UC underground talking to Maggie and studying there, and the rest of today will pretty much be spent on a bus going home, oh well. Ciao

Everyone around me is still in denial over the whole Bush winning thing. Even my parents called and teased me about that. Eh, horrible, the republicans are in control of everything now, looking at it in a positive light you could say that now everything that goes wrong can in no way be blamed on the democrats or anyone else but the republicans. I just really hope that Bush doesnt fuck up and we dont end up with another 9/11.
Anywho, on a less global tragedy scale, my day has been pretty good. I woke up damn late, and I only got to talk with Maggie a little. John and I did homework together, it was nice to confirm that the stuff I think I know, I do infact actually know. Brandi was really sad today, dont know what it could be. Oh well. Nothing else going on today. Ciao.

I cant believe Bush won. Right now it seems Bush took florida and every other thing. Unless Kerry takes Ohio (which is leaning to Bush) hes gonna have to take every state left just to get a tie. Then it goes the house of representatives in which case were fucked. Bah bah bah. Kerry is such an idiot, Im glad hes not our president but I wouldve taken a sandwich over Bush. Whats worse is that now the Bush doesnt have to worry about getting reelected who knows what the hell hes gonna pull. Oh well, atleast people wont be talking about this all the time anymore.
Anywho, today has been interesting, I did ridiculously well on my History exam, that was good I guess. Hung out with John alot and Dina, Johnny, and Brandi a bit. Dont see those guys enough, especially Brandi. Its like they are all hiding. Oh well, nothing else to talk about really, just sad. Oh well.

Wow can you believe the election is tommorow? Remember everyone, whatever you do dont vote for Bush. I dont care if you vote for me, Kerry, a ham sandwich, or the fucking cookie monster just anyone but Bush.
Anywho, today was pretty fun, I didn't get any sleep last night but I was suprisingly awake this morning (I love showers). Economics took care of that though. Then I went to the UC underground and Maggie was there, huzzah. I gave her perverted anime and then we talked, fun fun. Later when we came back she was "studying" (as in reading some manga about gay cowboys or something) and I feel asleep. It was pretty cool hanging out with her, I think Im stealing Johnny's idea of ruining peoples study time.
Later I got a free t-shirt for signing up for credit card junk mail. Its one of those gray shirts that just says "College". I dont get it, but hey everyone else is wearing it so I'll wear it. Thats what college is all about right, copying what other people do? I also got a free phone card, so maybe Ill call my mom or something.
It looks like the rest of the day for me is gonna be pretty dead, oh well, maybe I can actually study :)

This is the incredibly retarded one John likes
This is the skecthy one...
This is the charcoal one, I think its my fav
