Wana be a cowboy baby

My dad got me this hat in Puerto-Rico yesterday when he came back from a buisness trip. It's cool and it fits nice. I'm in the process of weather proofing it wich will darken it up some. Now all I need is a whip and a rugged button-down shirt and a cool song :D.

It's especially great because now I woun't have to wear a bee keeper's hat when I go back down to my Uncle's farm to help out. It has custome watermelon technician written all over it :P.

Madagascar

I just watched the movie "Madagascar". It was soo funny!

I know ya'll have probably already seen it because it came out like last summer, but I didn't. And now I have. The penguins were probably my favorite characters, followed closely by the monkeys. I love it when the monkeys are at the train station in an over coat just as the cops hold them up and the articulkate one says "If you have any poo, sling it now". That cracked me up to no end. It's even funnyer if you know that a monkey will actually sling it's escrements at you if you get to close, or it dosnt like you. Then the commando Penguins, HAHAHA! I love 'em. Oh and you cant leav out that little squirrel thingy with the big eyes. Ok ok, it is cute, stupidly cute :P.

This movie is a must see if you haven't already!

Hey you! Yah you! The guy with the droopy eyes, uncombed hair, the Rudolf nose! Your sick aren't you?

Yep I am. I'm sick, like a dog. Really makes me uncomfortable, since I started coming down with flue like symptoms right after getting out of the hospital. It's enough to rot anyone's socks.

I don't have any bad symptoms yet, just achy and dizzy and nose running like a faucet. Ugh, I hate tissues. You can only use them like twice before they get all soggy and gross. And have you ever noticed how there are no cool boxes? Like they could put cross word puzzles on them or something. You carry one around all the time so it might as well be more useful!

And there probably isn't are more inefficient body part than the nose. I mean if it were at all efficient it would know when to stop running and conserve snot till you really needed it! Like if a gnat gets up my nose it just goes completely dry! I mean COMMON! Flush that sucker out! But when your sitting there, feeling wholly miserable already, what does it do? NIAGRA FALLS! And I am not kidding. I've seen Niagara Falls, trust me I know.

That’s all for now.

Evil Tickets

Ever notice how everybody gripes about social security numbers being the mark of the beast? Well forget that! I've unmasked a greater conspiracy! Even worse we always just brush it off as a temporary labeling, but what if it isn't? I speak my friends of the waiting ticket. (insert sinister organ music here). Every day millions of people are given a number through this heinous system. The vile ticket dispensers are EVERWHERE! Supermarkets, businesses, banks, restaurants. You can get any service unless you "take a ticket and wait your turn". So now that you have taken your ticket, you are one of them. Just a number, no more no less. You are being assimilated into the ranks of EVIL! I can't believe that this practice has gone unchallenged for so long. Friends, we must not let ourselves be just a number! We must fight!


For all of you who haven’t guessed it yet, or who are thinking "Oh my gosh! He's whacked.". This is Satire. This is a paper I'm in the process of doing for English Literature, so it's not to be taken seriously. Hope you have fun reading it. If you like it, link to it from your site or pass it on to your friends.

The Fiish. RESIST THE EVIL TICKETS!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, ok. So it has been a while

It's been a while since my last post because a lot has been going on.

Well first off , I was in thhe hospital on monday getting some tests done. I'd like to say that I think they could make a better hospital gown! I mean the things the called "gowns" were like big paper towels with holes for your arms and a slit all the way down the back that, no matter how you tied the thing up, left your butt exposed to the elements and the stairing of all. (fortunately my butt isnt as disagreeable to look at as others :P). Yah so there I was sitting and waiting, wraped in a napkin, for the doc to come in and call me into the exam room. Finally, after an hour, I got in and layed down on the table. Then the anestesiologist came in, (that's the guy who drugs you up). The guy was so forcefull, it was like he grabbed my hand and held it up in the air, then slamed it down on my stomach. I never knew where he was going to jam it next so I was alwase resisting his pushes. Finally he got it where he wanted it and proceeded to rub the middle of the back of my hand with alchohol. I knew what was coming next, and I think the best thing is not to watch them stick the needle in, but this was no needle. The thing was like a valve with a sharp peice of pipe on one end wich the guy somhow peirced my skin with and weidled about an inch and a half into the vein. OUCH! Man that thing hurt. Then they made me roll over on my side and chloroformed me while they pumped who-knows-what into my punctured vein.

Well I woke up and my mom was standing over me saying somthing like "how do you feel". I tryed to say "my final will and testimony are hidden under the tile in the corner of the living room" but all I got out was "will testimony tile in room" or somthing. I was still really druged up and kept coming in and out of conciousness. Somhow I got into a bed and proceeded to sleep like two hours. Then the nurse made me get up, get dressed, and go eat somthing. In the room where they served me a coffee and a ham sandwich, there were about ten other people that had just been rudely awakened from their respective drug induced slumbers. I felt better after I ate and sat around for another hour or so till they brought me my discharge from hospital service or somthing, whatever the paper is called that says you can go. So I left. And sleapt the rest of the afternoon in the la-Z-boy recliner at my house.

I still feel spaced out a little but otherwise I'm fine. I'll be getting the results in about a week or so. But fortunatly the doc said that nothing seemed abnormal and there was probably nothing to worry about.

Unless I get enough comments from people that want to know the specifics of what kind of exam it was, I wount say.

Me

I just figured that I'd let anybody who reads this blog (not many) that I am a Christian.

I don't know why I didnt post that earlier. I guess I thought people would make the connection between miissionary kid and religion, but I realise in an ever decaying world it is somtimes nessisary to state the seeminly obviouse.

I grew up in a Christian home, and am still living in it. I can remember the day, I must have been two or three, when I accepted Christ. I haven't alwase walked straight, and I still stagger a lot. At this point I'm trying to get intouch with God on a deeper level than I am now. I feel that more than ever I need to draw close to him now that I'm an "adult". There are soo many ways to fall; Have you ever noticed that? There's alwase a rut or a ditch. Most of us know where they are but still step in them.

Why is that? Have you ever caught yourself voulentaraly sinning? It makes no sense. We delite in sin, seems everyone has at some point.

I just wish that I could get closer to God's will, whatever it may be, and start being happy with it.

I'm 18

Ok, so my birthday was monday. I'm, duhhh, 18. Big woopty-doo.

The day after my B-day, I hade to go to the central office of foreigners here on the island to try to get my papers in oder for a visa.

Left at 7:30 AM, got there at 9:00 Am, waited ouside untill 12:30 PM when I got in, wrangled with a buraucrat for 20 minutes, headed home and got there at 2:15 PM.

Five hours, repeat: 5 hours, and I didnt get the paper. I'm only alowed to stay here for three more months, then if nothing has happened I'm kicked out. Know why they didnt give me the papers? Because the papers I provided to certify my birth, education, residence, where in English.

HELLO!!!! I'M AN AMERICAN CITIZEN! OF COURSE MY PAPERS ARE IN ENGLISH!!!!

So yah, that day was like getting rusty nails driven into my eyes. It totaly stank.

But, never the less, I'm 18.

Happy birthday to me.

Drawing a blank

Man! These days I am feeling so uncreative. I dont know what it is, I sit down and feel antsy to do somthing but I get that bored feeling in my gut.

I see so maney other people dooing such neat stuff like flash cartoons and writeing alot of interesting stuff and I just feel like I'll never be able to do that. Must be the 18 blues setting in.

By the way, tomorow I'm 18.... GOOD GRIEF!!!!! WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME!?!?! I'M GETTING OOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDD! RUUUUUUNNN!

I cant belive it, I mean I alwase figured it would happen eventually, but it alwase seemed far off. I alwase felt like I still had time, like childhood would never run out. Man this is starting to depress me. I gotta go play some harmonica to express my sadness.

King Kong

So I just saw King Kong.......

Ok, Ok, Yes it has been out for a while. But you have to remember that I dont live in the US.

It was good, very good. Shure the ending wasn't changed (Kong dies), but overall a very good movie. Peter Jackson has made another masterpiece. The graphics are amazing, there is humor, and some comment on human life.

I must warn all thoses who havent seen it and are going to: There are scenes that are a little gut-wrenching. An example is a guy getting eatten alive by large slug-like swamp critters. They were like pipes that had jaws that come out and grip onto his head and arms. Not pretty. And there are giant bugs, HUGE bugs. If you hate bugs and want to sleep after the movie, go with somone who's seen it so that they can tell yu when not to look.

It was long too, three hours long. I dont know about you people, but it's hard for me to sit in a theater for that long. First off, I busted my tail-bone a long time ago so it alwase hurts if I sit too long. Second, I'm a tall guy, 6'5", when I sit in one of those theater rows my knees slam into the chair infront of me. I like to sit in the middle section on the front row so theres an alley there for my legs to streach out. It's really anoying.

That's all I have to say about that. King Kong is a must-see by me. Not for kids under 12, by then they can usually not puke all over everything.

Mac post #2

By the way. I forgot to mention that the new Mac laptops can run Windows because of the chip, but fortunately Mac says that it will not support them. So if you put Windows on your Mac and it dies, it wount be covered by the warenty or Mac safety plan. I think thats good, I'de hate to see Mac switch their OS to Windows, that'ed suck big time.

The new laptop also features a built in webcam in the center top of the screen. An IR port is located on the front so that you can controll it with a remote for watching movies either on the computer or while its hooked to your tv. Cool huh?

I fully outfitted one to see what the top of the line modle would cost. It's 2900 dollars with the educational discount I can get. And that includes the max of everything. And unlike a PC I wount have to upgrade the day after I get it.

Apple rules.

The Fiish

BOOOOOOYAHHHHHHH!!!!

I've been waiting in anticipation of Apple making a laptop with their amazing G5 processor in it. I was woundering for some time when it was going to come out. Welllll....IT JUST CAME OUT!!!!

Not only has it just come out but it is what you would least expect!! It has and Intel processor chip. The reason: The manifactures of chips for Mac couldent produce a chip that would run fast enough for the awsomeness that is Mac without that chip burning out. But as Mac says "This chip is dooing a lot more than it ever did in a windows."

It's awsome, they put in into a 15" laptop! I found my college computer :)

Check it out at the Apple Store, and here is the computer its self with the specs.

Music while online

I dont know how maney of you do this, but more often than not I listen to music while doing anythhing on the computer. Like when I'm surfing or brainstorming for a paper I need to write. And what's funny is that even if I dont conciously hear the words to a song, after about the 8th time of hearing it I can sing the whole thing. Ok maby not sing, everytime I do that it starts raining :P, but I know the lyrics. Same for other stuff. Like about four years ago I had a set of LOTR on audio CD. There was this one CD out of the collection that I listened to over and over right before I when to sleep, and it would continue playing while I slumbered so I rarely heard the end. After a month I had the whole 2 hour CD memorised and could recite passages of it. I can't anymore but it just goes to show that you can still hear in the subconcious level. I think thats pretty cool. Maby they should put text books on audio cd. That's about all I have to say for know.

Btw: At this point my top 5 cds include: Leave a Whisper, Us and Them, Penomenon, Where Do We Go From Here, and Three Days Grace.

I realise that I linked to an audio clip a few posts ago. The quality stank, I didnt notice. I have a high quality version but it's big and I have no way of hosting it.

So, though noogys.

I finally figured out how the hook my digital movie camera up so that I can use it as a webcam. Unfortunatly, my connection sux so bad that no one can view it. >:(

But here's a snapshot I just took any way. Maby if i can figure out how to make a small movie I'll post it or something.

But untill then: KEEP ON ROCKIN' AND DON'T STOP!

I'm sick of the world

I hate this world and all the trash in it. I wish the judgment day would come and people would all get what's four.

It'll never get better, it's depressing how the norms of the godlier ages are spit on now. I don't say we should go all the way back to them. But one thing is for shure:

We need to get back
To the ways of the days of old

One of the worlds most awesome guitar solos

I heard of this band through a freind that I've worked with at my uncle's farm for the last three summers. Guns N' Roses.

I their song November Rain, their guitarist does what I consider one of the coolest guitar solos ever, then at the end of the song he plays this awesome, high pitched, thing a few times. It's great trust me.

Hamlet

Ok so I'm supposed to write an essay on Shakespear's "Hamlet". And since I usually write better in the face of an audience I guess I'll publish it on my blog. Mind you it will be copywrited so dont use it without my permision :P

I'm going to cover three main points:
-Hamlet's world
-Hamlet's good moral values and actions
-And I will develope my opinion on wether Hamlet is "good" or just pretending to be

This is an informal version so I'm going to cut straight to the body and neglect the intro and conclusion.

I. Hamlet lives in a world that seems driven solely by ambition. People seem to only do things that will further their own objectives. Hamlet observes this and asks himself if life is worth living when surrounded by this corruption. Examples of people driven by their ambition include the King (Hamlet's uncle), and Polonius. Hamlet's uncle kills Hamlet's father it seems only to free up Hamlet's mother so he can marry her. Little is ever said that he really wanted to be king but it was one of the perks that came with the wife. Polonius is a dark old man who contents himself by sticking his nose in everyone's business especially Hamlet's. Though he denies it, he seems to want to get involved in Hamlet's madness, and his cure, so that he can advance his popularity with the King and Queen. As a funny twist, even Hamlet falls prey to his own ambition. He seeks revenge and it consumes almost all of his brainpower, and in the end his revenge costs much.

As a point not listed: Everyone that is driven by their own ambition in the play seems also to die by it.

II. Hamlet's good moral values and actions are mainly centered around one theme: Purge Denmark of its rottenness and corruption. Hamlet, through his reasoning and soliloquies, seems to become more and more “moral in the world he lives in. He considers how much wrong there is in his surroundings and decides, by his own accord to not give into it instead he decides to fight back. At the end of the play Hamlet isn’t perfect, but he did, in a way, attain perfection in his mind. He knows that the world is bad and he knows how to be good in it.


III. I believe, like most people, that Hamlet is really trying to be good in an evil world. Through his speeches, where he speaks his mind truthfully, it is obvious that he despises the bad around him and wishes that it didn’t exist. He finds through his reasoning that he too is not a truly good person and that seems to sadden him greatly, even to the point where he toys with thoughts of suicide. So from what I understand he is really trying to be as good as he can manage and rid Denmark of the rottenness in it.


Ok well that's all I have to say for now. if you'de be interested in reading Hamlet and dicussing it I'd love to help.

StarCraft

For those of you who don't know, StarCraft is a real time strategy game much like WarCraft wich is made by the same game maker.

It's currently my favorite game because it runs flawlessly on practically any computer and it's the only game that I can play online without getting cussed at (usually) for my pathetic internet connection. It's also cheep, I got my copy for 9.99 at K-mart. It's fun to play even if you dont play online but does get really hard twoards the end. Overall its a decent game, there is some swearing and gore but they can be avoided if you know when to toggle the volume and the mouse button.

I don't know if anybody reading this has played StarCraft or if they play it online, but if you do get me up on email or chat and maby we could play a few rounds.

School

Well I might as well tell all of you that I'd much rather be learning than not.

Digging your heals in while in school will never get you anywhere, or rather, it'll get you flipin' pancakes at the waffle house.

I mean, I see kids that are just going to school because its the law and they never try to achieve anything. Those kids probably wount get far these days. A lot of them think that they'll become video game testers or movie critics, but there just isnt that big of a demand for people like that, once a producer has two or three they dont need any more.

My piece of advice to you people that still have a bit of school left is: Give it the best and all that you got. After high-school go to college. If you dont know what you want to be, go to a community college and just keep studying until you find something you want to specialize in. And above all: If you dont give a rats hind parts about your education, dont put any money into it and get out your apron and spatula.

Anymore its easer to get a job if you at least have a high-school diploma, and much easer if your enrolled I a college or have college diploma of some kind. It shows the person that you have taken the time and put in, or are putting in, the effort to make something out of yourself. That counts a great deal to an employer.

And a word to those who are at present looking for what they want to become or study: Get out some paper and list as many of the fun things that you have enjoyed doing in the last year or so. In practically any of those things is something that could be developed, maybe not into a career but something that you could do while expanding into a career or figuring out what you want to do.

When I think of the things I could do out of high school and live off if I didnt go directly to college, I think off all the people that are always saying that they dont have any skills what so ever. They DO! They just dont realize it. I had never really thought that I could make enough money off of building lawn chairs to make anything out of it other than a hobby. But I see a demand in the community for them, and if I wanted to tap into that demand I could make at least a partial living.

Other things that people overlook are things like child care, pool maintenece, law care. You can make a living off that, but what I'm trying to drive at is that its worth while to get a good education. If you have one and your other jobs or whatever fall through, it will be easer to get by then if you had less education.
