My Weekly Rant !!

September 6th '98

Oh dear, well it has been almost 2 months since I have written a weekly Rant, and it seems that in the two and a bit years that I have been creating and tinkering with this homepage, I have written about 18 weekly rants, how this quite works I never quite figured out, but I think it has something to do with me spending all my time at school working on algebra and quadratic equations and not spending enough time on my mulpitplication tables. However, here I am, back once again for more meaningless drivel that people just love to read.
So anyway, it is back to school time, I am sorry to remind you all but hey, it comes around so quickly these days doesn't it ? Almost everyone I know in the States is going off to school, taking away most of my internet friends which stinks, but never mind, Brendan is back, although quite why he goes back for two half days then gets a long weekend I haven't figured out yet, maybe you have to be a kid to realise the full joy of that kind of timetabling !!
But all this means that pretty soon, I too am going back to school, and I want to know what to expect. Heck, I was worried enough when I stared my first year, imagine what this will be like, the second year counts towards the final degree, talk about pressure, plus all my housemates have been living in the house without me, so I am sure there will be some jokes that I am not a part of, which is also kinda scary !!
And what about my degree ? I heard that some people didn't make the grade at the end of year exams, some of them my friends !! Will they have re-sat or will they just be missing ?? I hope not, dearly !!
Then there is the parties, I am no longer a freshman, so does that mean that I can't party as much ?? I regret to say that maybe it does, ACK. Oh well, nose to the grindstone eh ??
Along with all of this, though, is the fact that I am getting old, yeah the sings are showing, I sleep more and have trouble getting out of bed, although I have always had that problem, its known as being idle !! But actually, my 21st birthday is coming up quicker than a dog to a mailman, not funny. People have assured me that it is not that bad, but then people said the same thing about all the injections I have had and they were horrible. Oh boy !!
However I have decided to put it all behind me and enjoy it, especially what I have left of my vacation in the states, in just a few days I am heading towards Florida, like a typical British guy on tour, and I'm going to love every minute of it. A friend from the internet, Becki, said she will meet up with me, and this will be the first person I have met personally from the net, wheras she is an experienced pro. However this brings me to another situation. She says she wants a shrine dedicated to her honour, for being the first. What do you think ?? She even offered to write it, oh boy. However she is not the only one after critically acclaimed fame, well her name being on my page. My e-mail friend, all round babe and close friend Devon also thinks she is worthy of a shrine, as she is always talking to me, even though she hasn't met me yet *hint hint*. She has argued that she is a better candidate for a shrine. However it is not that simple, as there is a third contender: The mysterious Mrs X. that you sometimes get a mention of. She says that she has been so nice to me, picking me up and taking me to the airport, letting me use her pool and having the pleasure of her company that SHE should get a shrine. Choices choices eh ?? Well actually myself, I think I am just going to limit it to having there wonderful selves mentioned on homepage, and maybe that will stop them arguing over a shrine dedicated to their greatness !!
Well after thinking that I had nothing to write about, here it is, another full rant, once again about nothing, staring me in the face and proving me wrong. Oopsie.
Well avid reader, I will let you continue to peruse my homepage, which after everything that I have been told, I am beginning to agree isn't at all bad.
Later peoples, take care !!
