Song: Radiohead - Paranoid Android
I woke up today after have the dream I already posted and got out of bed. Had breakfast. The life continued as normal til about 6. That's when I started to have a pretty long and deep conversation about religion with Rachel (H), it was fun. Then I went to see Last Samurai again. I had a pass that expires today, and Brian hadn't seen so we asked around and got Paul and Chris to go as well. I noticed a few things I didn't the first time though. I actually got out of the house. Before I did that though, I bought some stuff for my computer, really cheap too. $66 for a 16x DVD-ROM drive and a 52x CD-Burner. I got lucky, they were having a one-day sale. I don't feel like typing anymore, bye.

Song: Syd Barrett - Gigolo Aunt
Dream Time: I'm going so school and for some reason I go the office and two other people are there, Mike and Greg (you probably don't know him, but it's not very important). Greg is acting really really dumb, and looks a lot younger too, as if he grew backwards. Mike comments on this and then we go to class. Now I'm walking out to my after school and I see Greg's girlfriend there [who I've never seen] for some reason she blames me for what happened to Greg. She wants to look through my car for some stuff, and to see if any of it is Greg's. I let her look in my car knowing that none of it is Greg's. I move the front seats up for her to look under them. She thinks she finds something, but I prove it's mine. Looks under the other seat, nothing. She looked all of and nothing, so I get ready to leave and suddenly she is trying to stop me and I say, "You'll never see your blue sky," to her [I have no idea what that means]. Then she tries to kill me and I wake up. The End.

Song: BT - Somnabulist
My life is so boring. I hardly do anything, I barely get out of the house, and when I do get out of the house it's usually only for a while and usually alone. Today I went shopping again for 2 things, which I got, then I went to the bank. The longest time out was spent at the bank waiting in line, at the other stores, I walked in, found what I wanted, bought it, and then walked out. The things I bought are useful though, it makes my stay at my computer more enjoyable... I got an optical mouse with programmable buttons I really like it. I also got another CD, BT - Emotional Technology, I like it but I still need to listen through it again. That's the highlight of my day (boring isn't it?).
I've known I lived a boring for quite some times now, but re-realized it once Shari IMed me. She asked what I was doing, and I was sitting in the dark, in front of my computer, and listening to music. It was rather sad. Then I got to thinking which didn't help any just made it worse. Thinking of things I could do to make life more interesting and get me out of the house, away from a computer, and not totally bored; the best sounding idea I had sucked there isn't much I can think of to do. I've said this before, "I need a hobby." Blah blah blah. Random thought: It seems that I have one of the most boring lives of the people I can think of right now, yet I have the longest and most often blog/journal enties. But that's probably because I have so much free time to let me post this much this often.
The only times I got away from my computer today were to shower, make lunch, go to the bank, go to Staples, go to FYE, watch some of Rush In Rio (a concert DVD), and bathroom breaks. ASDF

Song: Chroma Key - Undertow
I was planning on going to bed a little early tonight, but as you can see I didn't. I'm running Prime 95 right now, which tests the stability of computer systems by putting a lot of stree on the CPU. I've been running it for about 10 or so hours I think (which is better than it did a few months ago).
I went shopping today too. I set out to get 2 certain CDs, and I came home with 2 CDs, but not what I set out to get. I picked up a Fates Warning disc, I just couldn't pass it up. And tomorrow I'm going to go and get the other one at FYE. I'm also going to get an optical mouse from Staples while I'm at the mall, I've been wanting one for a few months now. That's pretty much what my day consisted of, I don't do a whole lot.

Song: Ian Anderson - Postcard Day
Today was spent ripping CDs to mp3s. I ripped so many CDs, and I still have a few left. I got done with my new CDs around 3 in the after noon, then I took a nice long break from ripping. Later in the day Katie had me go to Wal-Mart to buy some stuff for cookies, while waiting for her to make a list of stuff my mom started laughing at me. She didn't think I could go to Wal-Mart and buy flour, sugar, and oats. It's not like it's that hard to do, go to the aisle, find what's on the list, and check out. Bill said I would be there an hour and get lost, it's not like Wal-Mart has labels for what's in each aisle. Then once I get there, I find out that Katie told me stuff incorrectly, good thing I had my cell phone. Tomorrow I'm going to go and buy 2 more CDs, I hope they are as good as I think they'll be. That's my day.
Mike, if I don't tell you, have me tell you about "Jordy."

Song: Kill Bill Soundtrack - Twisted Nerve
Yet another exciting day to talk about. Today I woke up and watched TV, a fun-filled time. I was at my dad's then around 2 I came back to my mom's and organized my CDs. That took a good 2 hours out of my day. I have 64 in my main CD case alphabetized, and they are only ones that have been purchased, no burns. Then at the end I put some "must have" CDs, such as Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and other CDs I really like. Then in my other case (a huge one that holds over 100) is almost full of other CDs that are kinda organized. They are in the order that I found them laying on my floor in one of 3 categories: Single Artist (bought or burned), Mix (burned or given), and Video Game/Anime. I had a lot more CDs that I thought I did.
After I got finished with that I started to rip them to mp3s. As of now I'm ripping the 10th one of the day, after this I'm done for the night and I'll continue with the other 8 tomorrow.
At 8 I went to US75 to hear Chad's band, The Argument," it was rather good I thought. If I didn't have to pay $5 to see them again, I gladly would (I'm cheap). I'm tired.
12/25/03 Christmas Day
Song: Gentle Giant - Knots
Merry Christmas. Today was a good day, no question about it. It started out at 5:30 when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep so I went to see what Santa left me to try and calm me down, it worked and I went back to sleep. Then I was waken up to open presents with the rest of the family. I got 5 albums and a total of 6 CDs. I also got some clothes, a blanket, slippers, and various other things. Then I went to go help Mike with his present, and headed over to my dad's to open more presents. There I got 6 more CDs and a DVD of Rush In Rio, as well as a Led Zeppelin poster, and quite a bit of money. I would say I made out pretty good this Christmas. Right now I'm sitting here watching American Werefolf in Paris, a present my step-brother got. I'll be sure to post reviews and a list of my new CDs in a few days after I get a change to listen to them.
12/24/03 Christmas Eve
Song: Steve Vai - For the Love of God
Today has been pretty boring, not much went on. Got up, ate food, watched TV, got online, that's about it. During the day I played a game of StarCraft with Chris and Mike, I got killed in 33 minutes. Mike got me really easily, I didn't stand a chance. Have a Merry Christmas, bye.
12/24/03 Christmas Eve
Song: The Beatles - Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Assuming you open presents at 8 in the morning, it is now 31 hours until you open presents. Today I woke up around 10 after having a weird dream which I remembered to write down before I went back to sleep so I could be sure to tell all of you about it. I didn't write all the details, but the majority of the actions is there.
I was fighting Scott and someone else, may have been Mike or Sean, and it seemed like it was a staged fight. I get pushed to the ground and Scott starts pushing on my two front teeth and somehow breaks them. They pretty much break right off leaving somewhat jagged edges, it was really weried, I kept feeling them with my tongue. Then after that I go home and try to post in here, in my blog. That even seemed real because I was having several difficulties doing so, all the while feeling my teeth. Then I wake up, and feel my teeth to make sure they aren't broken, but they were hurting a little bit, as if pressure had been on them. Then I write it down, in very sloppy handwriting.
I eventually got out of bed to find my Grandma here visiting for Christmas, I knew she was coming. I sat on the couch and she didn't here, so she looked around and got scared when she saw me, it was kinda funny. I stay out there, keep her company for a few hours while watching Soaps, those things can be so boring. Then I go to my room, computer, blah blah blah, my mom comes home and I eat dinner. Katie shows up sometime and then we watch more TV. My Grandma starts talking to me about college and various things that I don't really enjoy talking about, especailly since she had had a few drinks by then. It's werird talking to her, she brings some weird things, and I don't know what to say...
I think I have found my major vice in life. I can't decide on things that have any effect on others. Ever. The other day at Sean's I didn't want to choose what Mario Kart stage we played, so I chose random. I can't decide which college I want to go to (doesn't effect others, but still). I can't decide what to buy people for Christmas. I can't decide if I should do certain things, or not do them. I can't decide on what's best for people. I know that some of these are a problem for a lot of people, but I just think I have an especially hard time on some of them. Even though most of them probably have little significance I can't do anything about them.
12/23/03 Happy Festivus!!!!!
Song: Emerson Lake and Palmer - Tarkus
It is now Christmas Eve Eve. Yesterday was pretty non-eventful, and the day before was even worse. Two days ago I went to Coffeyville with my Mom and Bill for Bill's family Christmas thing, I was so bored. We were there from 11 to 8, sure it was good seeing them again, it'd been a few months, but there was nothing to do. Everyone was talking about different things, 3-5 different conversations at once, it was confusing at times. There were two other people around my age there, but we never have really talked to each other or anything, I'm not very close to them as step-family. I had nothing, no board games, no TV, no nothing, I almost fell asleep. After we got back from there I got online and that's where I stayed until about 2 or so, then I went to bed.
Yesterday I went shopping. I left around 1 and went to the mall for about 2 and a half hours, and I bought a few things as gifts, but I still need a few more. Came home for a while, ate dinner, and went to my dad's. Nothing too exciting over there, watched some TV, then went to Mike's. At Mike's we played games and Risk... kinda. Risk didn't last too long. It seems I get bad countries to start with, right by Australia, then the person that gets most of Australia then takes over, and heads to Asia where my forces are usually, then I die. This time that happened, so I wasn't too into the game, and eventually got killed. Played more video games, and left to come home. Right now I'm burning some discs, and listening to Tarkus.
This blog/journal has lasted a lot longer than I thought it would, it's almost been 3 months since I started it. I did have the previous two months entries saved, and had planned on putting links to them, but the hard drive crash reuined that plan, it sucked. It also seems that since I started this, other people have slacked off on theirs, I'm starting to wonder who all views and reads mine anymore. I mean come on, who would really actually like to sit here and read these long entries I type up about my boring days, nothing interesting happens to me (that reminds me, I was almost in a wreck today). I don't think I would want to read these, well maybe, just to see what song I choose, and then listen to it because I have such good taste in music (I have a big music ego, what can I say).
Now about the wreck. I wsa going to my dad's it was raining, not really hard, but it was still dark and slippery. On the way there is a little bridge thing across a small creek. This thing isn't very wide, nor does it have rails of any kind on it, just a 2-3 foot drop off into a creek; also it's in a valley type area. I was driving along behind a car and a van is coming the opposite way. I figure that the van is going to stop to let us by, and it appeared that it wasn't moving much. The first car gets by just fine but as soon as I get on the bridge the van is right there beside, I was probably about a foot or less from falling off into the creek, and I assume the van was about that close on the other side. I hate that part of the way to my dad's you never know what the other car might do, but both cars made it, and that's what matters.

Song: Victor Wooten - More Love
As you can see I've been messing with the layout of this some. Let me know what you think. I also added a lot of link to the left side, and a few to the right, I would like more the add the right side, if you want ideas, again, let me know.
Today was a good day. A nice way to start off Christmas break. Woke up early for the ACT, I think I about the same as I did last time, but it seemed harder this time. Then I came home got on my computer and started going through old data discs of mp3s and other random things to try to restore my computer. Ate lunch, and went back to getting mp3s. Cleaned my room up a little and found a few things I can do to get ready for the influx of CDs I'll be getting for Christmas, and also for my computer discs I'm starting to get. I spent most of the day renaming, ID3 tagging, and organizing my 2000 mp3s I managed to salvage from discs, but that still leave 300+ to rip off CDs. I'm going to be busy the next few days doing that, not to mention installing games and that really cool screen saver I had for like 2 days.
There were a few things I should have done today but instead I wasted the day away on my computer. Hopefully I can do them tomorrow, I know one for sure I can, but the other I'm hoping works out.
12/19/03
Song: Steve Vai - For the Love of God
Tomorrow is the ACT and I'm til 11:10 right now, that's pretty normal for me. I didn't study for it, probably should have, but what is there to study other than everything? Which is the reason I didn't study, there is too much, but if I had a book I would have probably looked over it, did a few sample questions, not really a whole lot. I'm not too worried about the stuff, I took it in June after being out of school for a couple weeks without studying for it and made a 27. Sure I hope I raise my points, but I see standardized tests as either you know how to do it, or you don't. And the ones you don't know you narrow down the answers and make an educated guess.
Today was a blow off day, but in calc we had a test that I think I did pretty well on, it seems most everyone else got decent to good grades on it. Then at 7 I went o Mr. Baird's for the calc party, it was fun and entertaining. Around 9:05 I headed to Sean's, had a good time there, but in a different way. Now I'm home needing to take my flu medicine (not meaning I have the flu, just that I have "flu medicine" and it helps).
Tomorrow I need to go Christmas shopping for people. I also have some other things I might do, one of which is redo this page, maybe get a background image, new links, and stuff like that. I also still have a few things to add to my computer, such as 500+ mp3s I lost. I know what some of them are, but maybe 300 I have no idea where I can get them from. I'm just glad I have data discs of most of my crap, and of Pink Floyd and The Beatles ID3 tagged how I like it.

Song: Dream Theater - The Glass Prison
I got my new hard drive today. Installed Windows and so far everything is coming together. I've got some things installed, but I still need some more, not to mention my 2000+ mp3s. I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow while I'm home. Today was a nice day, weather, school, after school, everything was pretty nice. I'm not too worried about calculus tomorrow, even though I should be. After the test not much else is going on, other than a few things after school, then a very nice long break. Yesterday I didn't make an entry because I got home around 11:45 after watching Lord of the Rings. It was good. Time to get back to "fixing" my computer.
12/16/03
Song: Yes - Hearts
This is such a cool song, one time when I first realized it was so cool I listened to it about 5 times in row, not to mention all the other times I heard it that day. The music is intricate, the lyrics have a neat rhythm, just everything about it is nice. Most of the songs on the CD are good too, if you like Yes, check out 90125, it is worth the money.
Anyway today was pretty good. I actually did my work. I did spanish work in class, I did calc homework at home, and was VERY determined to do it. I got most of the assignment done and I also finished 6.6. Not much else going on, I can't wait until I get my hard drive, and I still haven't thought of a research paper topic.
Ok bye, listen to Yes!!!

Song: Pink Floyd - Time
Yeah, yeah... it's been a few a days since I last updated, but not much happened though. Saturday I didn't do anything except take a nap and finish my calculus project. And Sunday was more or less the same, I didn't leave the house, and took more naps. I woke up feeling a little sick, but it wasn't too bad, I tried to do calculus homework which I did do an hour of, but right after that I took a 4 hour break. I ended up going to bed around 9, but I didn't sleep too well; I kept waking up and coughing.
Today wasn't too exciting either. I woke up, had the hugest, nastiest phelgm in my throat, and went to school. At sectionals I was getting pretty scared, because if Jessica had beat Caleb, I would have been 3rd chair, which I don't really want to be. English yada yada yada, calculus, yada yada yada, gov't, (you get the picture), physics and spanish were also ordinary days. I got home from school and not a whole lot has happened.

11:30 and it is still snowing. Apparently the ACT is cancelled tomorrow, as well as the parade, so I'm happy. So far the snow is looking pretty good, I just hope the roads aren't too bad tomorrow; they will be, but I can hope. I don't really have a reason or anything, I just think that icy roads are a bad thing for every one. Icey roads = bad traction = wrecks = not good, is how I see it. Today has been pretty non-eventful. I got home, didn't do anything, and eventually went to eat at Rib Crib. The food there is good, I got so full, there was no way I could finish my plate. Came back home, watched some Comedy Central, got on the computer, blah blah blah, and got offline. Then I made this really good night-time snack: Vanilla ice cream, cool whip, hersey fudge, and puppy chow (the chex stuff with powdered sugar), it was sooooo good. After eating that I watched more Comedy Central and eventually got back online to order my hard drive, which I did do. $74 for an 80GB, Western Digital drive. THe reviews it had were awesome, and the features it had were what I wanted; 8MB cache and 7200RPM. That should get here before the end of the week, and once it does I will be a happy, happy person. The snow is really piling up now.
12/11/03
Song: Pink Floyd - Time
I was busy today. I was home a total of maybe 5 minutes today before 10 tonight. After school and dropping Moser and Jennifer off, I want to the mall for trombone chior, which was pretty bad; I didn't have any music and lots of people forgot the music so Mrs. Craft was kinda upset. Aftewards I stopped by Staples to get some blank CDs, 50 for $2 after a mail-in rebate. Then I came home to do a few things. Left and went downtown for computer club stuff. That was pretty fun, did some random things, some interesting things, all-in-all a good time. The crock-pot was kinda freaking, but we got the mystery solved. I left there areoun 8:30 and came home again, where I was called to go to Brian's house. It was good, didn't really do a whole lot, but got to see Shari for the first time in about... 5 months. Came home around 10 to watch Futurama; now that's over and I'm updating this.
School today wasn't horrible, lunch was good, and there are only 6 days of school left. Ok, I'm done typing in here, I've had long entries before this one, time for a break.

Song: Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven
Yay, today Caclulus made sense. This is definatley a day to mark because of that. Not only that, but I cleaned my room. I've been needing to clean it for about a week now, and just now got around to it. If you ask me it looks pretty good. The floor is pretty much empty, my dresser is a lot cleaner, and my computer "desk" is kinda organized. I also moved my CD cases to be more easily accesible, as well as visible.
Nothing exciting happened at school, unless you count eating some place new as exciting. I ate at O'Brian's, I think that's how you spell it, and it was pretty good. My first time to eat there all year. Again I'm slacking off in spanish, I shouldn't be, I probably have a B in there right now, mostly my fault in not doing most of the assignments and not studing stuff. I should get in the habit of studing, it isn't something I normally do, but would probably be beneficial in most of my classes, and in college.
I went to my dad's tonight, it was fun. When I go out there we have to oddest conversations ever. The type of conversations we have would probably scare most people if they heard their parents talking about it, but it's just normal for me, it's fun that way. Life is so different out there with my dad than with my mom. I wonder what I would be like if I had lived with him my whole life rather than my mom. I would be totally different I think. Mostly in a good way, but around some people I would have to control myself.
Tomorrow is Trombone Chior, come, make fun of me/us at the mall around 4. You won't be the only one there. But it'll be a waste of your time. We don't play anything too outstanding, and all grades of trombones are invited, so be prepared to hear some bad sounds. Ok that's all for now, good bye. Oh yeah, if you didn't know - Led Zeppelin rocks.

Song: Syd Barrett - Golden Hair
Another day, another entry. Today was a lot better than yesterday, not nearly as depressing. School went on as normal, english=movie, calc=assignment, gov't=movie, physics=review, spanish=work no one does. The one bad thing about school today that I can remember was spanish, we got our tests back, I pretty much bombed it. I got a 65%, which didn't surprise me a whole lot, probably because I'm used to low grades from calculus, where a 65% would be good for me.
Right now it is snowing. I like snow, but when the roads get icey I don't like it. Driving on is a bad thing. If we don't have school tomorrow I think I'll be really bored, and doing a lot of calculus that I need to get caught up on. Other than that there isn't a much for me to do; oh, and clean my room, it really needs it.
Other things that happened today included going to McDonald's for Trombone Chior. I showed up a little late, but so did most other people, so it was alright. We started playing; Jared wanted to do Santa Claus, and Kyle wanted to do Frosty, it was pretty funny. When you play trombone, and are around other trombones, everything immature is funny. Finished that up, at some free food, came home. Did physics, which is starting to make a lot of sense. Went to Mike's and didn't do much there, came home again and watched TV.
Just so everyone knows, after Christmas I will have a present I know you all will want to see. But I won't want you to see. It is a scrapbook. My mom is making one for all of us kids. It will embarras me so much, but that's just life. So if you ever want to see it, after Christmas, ask me, and you might get to. You will definatley get a laugh out of it, not to mention seeing other people (from elementary school) that you know. It will be a hoot. I have no idea why that popped into my head, oh well. It's about time for bed now. (Please no school tomorrow, I want to do calculus tomorrow.

Song: Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son
Yep, today has sucked quite a bit. Most of it can be summed up in chat Sean and I had. With a few things taken out because they aren't really needed.
Paladinn42: these past few days have been kinda depressing
Kadrom42: how so
Paladinn42: computer dieing
Paladinn42: overwhelmed with homework
Paladinn42: not know[ing] how to do homework
Paladinn42: today on the physics i got a 69/100
Paladinn42: then i was complaining that i had a bad weekend [to someone], then they even had a worse, which made me feel even worse
Paladinn42: and in physics we were talking a little bit and i realized it isn't just school, just my life in general
Paladinn42: and all this "to be or not to be" doesn't help lighten the mood of my day
Kadrom42: eh
Paladinn42: band is pretty much the only thing in school that isn't too bad right now
Kadrom42: that and comsci for me
Paladinn42: gov't is just plain annoying
...
Kadrom42: 9 more days man
Kadrom42: just keep pushing yourself
Paladinn42: 9 days, a calc and physics test
Kadrom42: yeah
Paladinn42: not to mention any thing else
Editted for your pleasure
That's pretty much it. Today I did about an hour and a half of calculus, and got only 2 problems, and part of another done. Then I did about 2 hours of physics, I rewrote my 7C worsheet assignment which helped to solidify the concepts of stuff, but I need to get #5 correct, everything else matches what others got. Early in the day in band I did pretty good on the chair test thing, it was close between Caleb, Jessica, and I. I have tons of calculus to do, I hope the test isn't until next week so that I can have the weekend to catch up on the assignments.
I hope tomorrow is a better day. Other than normal stuff it shouldn't be too bad, just that I have to play with the Trombone Chior at McDonald's, please no one come, you will only embarass yourself. I can't be embarassed anymore by it, I have already played in the mall, and will be playing again Thursday.

Song: The Flower Kings - Genie in a Bottle
No the song is nothing like the Christina Aguliara, however you spell her name, song. It is a very proggy and sorta optimistic song. It's pretty cool.
Anyway I think my computer is dead for good. Payam was supposed to fix it, but his idea didn't work, now Sean has an idea that is worth trying, I hope it works so I don't have to buy a new hard drive. Using money is a bad thing.
Homework today has come along very slowly. I tried physics for about and hour and a half, got a few done, did a few wrong, so I'll go at them again tomorrow. Calculus has been kinda the same way. I made to model yesterday, and today I was going to catch up on assignments and do the rest of the model stuff. Well I started with the model, afterall it is due tomorrow and he assignments aren't due till test day, but I cannot find the area of the thing. I've tried probably 5 different things, usually coming up with zero as the area. I know that is wrong, but I don't know how to fix the problem. I think I'll try to go in a little early tomorrow after sectionals; sectionals that I haven't practiced for. I also didn't do any spanish which I should have done. I have become such a slacker when it come to homework. And this weekend has been especially bad since I just wander around the house instead of sit in my room in front of my computer.
I still can't get over the fact I have to format my hard drive. I won't lose anything toooo important, just the fact that I lose EVERYTHING I had saved really sucks. 2500+ mp3s, all my videos, pictures, my Secret of Mana game file, my program files, various text documents, my website back up, all my past blog entries that I had saved, my Trillian log files, everything. It really sucks. And to top it off if I have to buy a new hard drive, I pretty much wasted the money I had spent on this one, about $50, if I remember correctly. So then I'll be out over $100. RJIVCXLKJGFJKLGJLKVHJGJKLGFHJVNMRTIOU, that about sums up my feelings on that.
In someones profile a while back, or an e-mail or something I saw a quote that went something like, "Don't settle for the one you can live with, settle for the one you can live without." And today I was reminded of that for a very good reason, the highlight of my weekend of horrible things. That wasn't the quote I was reminded of though, I remembered something my dad said when talking about getting a Corvette on e-bay. He was looking for the exact right one, it had to be one of three chioces. Something like a 2000, white, red interior, automatic; 2001 hard top, white, red interior automatic; or a 2001 with something else, I'm not exactly sure, but when I was talking to him about it something came up and he said, "It's not about what you can live with, instead it's what you want." I was reminded of that today when he came by 5 minutes after I woke up, driving a 2000 Corvette, white, and with red interior. It was soooooooo cool. My dad now has a Corvette, how awesome is that?!?! And in about 5-6 years it'll be mine, once my insurance goes down and I can afford it. I can't wait to go riding in it again. That's that, I don't really have much else to say other than this weekend has really sucked, and so did Friday. I hope that this week is better. I have a feeling it won't be any better though.

Song: Transatlantic - Duel With the Devil
I think I killed my computer. I'll be depressed if I did, I really hope it isn't dead. I'm not going to try to fix it anymore tonight, I've been trying for the past 30 mins or so, with no success of any kind. The computer will start-up, sometimes it will find the hard drives, other times it won't. Then it will post after that it will ask how I want to start-up the computer, in Safe Mode (with different variations), from the last working configuration, and then finally just start normally. I try all of them and it will show the XP loading screen and then restart itself. I tried deleting the CMOS, but that didn't do anyhing, I'll try again "tomorrow" leaving the jumper off for a longer period of time. It is making me very frustrated.
In case you are wondering, it is 1:35 AM, which might help explain the date of this entry, if you were even wondering
Transatlantic is the shiznit. I could listen them all day long, I could listen to the 2 CDs that I own of them all day. Their music is just so... cool, innovative, different, awesome, and inspired. There aren't a whole lot of music groups that I could listen to all day, and to top that off, the two Transatlantic CDs I have a total of only 9 tracks. And each one of those tracks is so musically beautiful. You HAVE to listen to them.
Another "if you were wondering" right now I'm on the family computer, not my own, which explains why my computer isn't starting up yet I'm typing this up.
Tonight (last night) I went to Chris' and was there for most of the day. I set my computer on a LAN and we traded some mp3s until my computer started dieing. We played games, then we went to see The Last Samurai. After seeing that I want to be a Samurai and have a sword. That won't happen and will probably just pass by me, I have no determination do anything. But being able to do that with a sword would be so cool. The armor is also really cool looking. About the movie: I liked it. There were a few parts I made funny that weren't supposed to be, but that's ok. How can a movie be too bad when it is about people fighting with swords; swords make battle scenes all the more exciting. Time to go to bed, bye.

Song: OSI - Head
Blah, blah, blah, that is today. It has been a pretty normal day with several surprises. The first surprise was a pop essay in english. The prompt was horribly bad, just plain bad. After that we got a calculus project to do, and I have no idea how to set mine up. I have to model a sin curve with isoceles right triangles, I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. The surprise after that was getting a big physics assignment, thought it isn't due till next week, I wasn't expecting it. Later in the day (6:40) I had to go to the mall and perform for Trombone Chior. Which wasn't really much fun, but at least I got out of the house. My life is pretty boring, I should have done more calculus as well, but I didn't, I guess the quiz tomorrow could be prety hard, but we'll see. Tomorrow I'm also going to Chris' which should be pretty fun. Not much else going on this weekend except for homework. If you want to get something going just tell me, I'll probably be up for it. Ok, goodnight.

Song: Styx - Suite Madame Blue
Today one of the nicest things ever said to me was said. It was really cool, it just made me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I hope that other people think the same way, if so I'm really happy then. That comment pretty much made my day so much better, only one thing could have made it better, but that doesn't matter. Anyway today has been kind of a downer. I had to read in english, not only read short little statements, but I had a monologue type thing. It went on, and on, and on, and on. And of course I stuttered on words which always gets annoying is one of the main reasons I hate reading aloud, oh well, ob-la-di ob-la-da. After that not a whole lot happened until I got home.
I got online and started my spanish essay, which I think turned out pretty good. Then got started talking to people, but I didn't get anywhere in calculus tonight. But dinner was good, we had nachos. Not much else going on, but I think I'll be going to bed a little early now.

Yeah, it's pretty late again. I should really do something about staying up late like this. I can either start homework ealier or watch less TV. I probably should do part of both of these though. Start earlier so I will get more done, and I should watch less TV so I will go to bed earlier rather than 11:30 or later. Today as a whole was pretty good. Nothing particularly bad happened, just a few annoying things, like calculus homework. That and needing to write a spanish essay and do a government assignment. I always get so little done, I really should do something about that. Tomorrow is going to be a slow, boring, bad day. I have to do the spanish essay, I'll probably have 3 calculus assignments, and Meador will probably have us do a few of the physics questions from that worksheet. I still have a few things to say, but I can't really go into them now, they are mostly just random thoughts anyway. Time for bed, goodnight.

Hola, como estas? Yo tamien. Actually I have no idea how you may have responded, but that was fun none the less. I should have been doing something the past hour, but I haven't. Spanish essay, calculus assignment, physics, the list could go on. Today was pretty good being a Monday after a long break. Didn't really do a whole lot at school, and I didn't fail the calc test on Tuesday, I got a 60%, 1 point from failing, but not. The rest of the day went on, learned some stuff, some more important than others. Then there was a band concert at 6:30, but I, being a trombone player, had to go early to play in the Trombone Chior. That was an experience I don't particularly want to remember. The music wasn't the great, it sounded bad, and I messed a lot of partials, oh well- ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on. The concert wasn't too bad I guess, just a big hassle especially with all the homework. By the way I didn't do hardly any homework, and I've been sitting here since at least 9.
It's late, so this is kinda short, good night.
