Song: Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways (Phase 1)

I want the AP tests to be over with. And then filas will be just around the corner, then before I know it- GRADUATION. I can't wait for it to be over with. Hopefully the summer will be good, the only way it will be is if I make is so. We'll see if I succeed or not.

Song: Alice Cooper - Spark in the Dark

Hmm, what to do... Oh! today I ordered a FireWire PCI card (with cable) online from NewEgg. It was really cheap compared to other options. At BestBuy it would have cost about $60, at Wal-mart about $45, and I got this for $21 even after shipping. Umm, that's that. Is it bad that I am probably happiest when I am doing stuff with my computer? I guess that could be hobby, but there is only so much that can be done, and it gets to be rather expensive. I guess that or get a life...

Song: The Flower Kings - Devil's Playground

First things first, here is a link to a probably cruel but funny Star Wars Kid (if you haven't heard of the Star Wars Kid, ask me, I'll tell you what I know) remix done Kill Bill StyleRight Click and Save as. It is one of the more funny, as well as better made ones that I've seen. Other than that there isn't much I have to share. I'm going to "fail " the english and calc AP tests, but I'm okay with that. In college they'll be relatively easy A's... or B's... Only a few more weeks of school, I might start adding a countdown on here, depends on how bored I get.

Song: Dire Straits - So Far Away

Mark Knoppler is a good song writer, not quite as good as Neal Morse, but still worthy of mentioning. While it's on my mind, my website is now dead, and I have a feeling it won't be coming back to life... I lost the HTML files. I do still have the MIDIs though. This post isn't going to be about my day, mostly just a few random thoughts, maybe even a rant; rants are fun.

Why do people tend to over react so much. Some of the recent happenings seem to have really really bother people, more than I think they should have. But whatever, I'll let them do what they want. And to make anyone think I'm better than them, I also over reacted the other night. What I realized wasn't that HUGE of a deal, just something that made me think. I'm still not a liberty to talk about it, personally I'm still decided for myself. I do not wish to be influnced by peer pressure-- peer pressure is bad. I might have something for you in the future, don't expect much though, especially anytime soon.

I wish I could talk to people in person like I do to people online. I would be so much more open and less shy. Online I become almost a new person, a better person in my mind. I can talk to people a lot easier. I think it is parcially because in person, it's harder (for me) to interupt someone when they are speaking, and by the time that person might stop the point I was going to make has usually forgotten and/or explained. I've had two decenly size conversations about religion with different people, in person I don't think I could have handled it. I have very odd views on what I think about it, and online I get to express those views more easily. Let's see, what else... my typos. I like to think my typos are just a different form of expression. Though they aren't realy words nor do they usually make sense, they are fun and entertain; and entertainment is something everyone can enjoy. But I don't want to just talk to people online, it's not nearly as fulfilling as in person. In person you get facial expressions, voice tone, and hand movements. Facial expressions are one of my favotire reasons for talking in person, you can see if the person you are talking to is enjoying themselves or just going with what you say. Online it is also hard to tell if someone is being sarcastic or sincere. I tend to use a lot of sarcasm, not a good thing for online chatting, unless you include something to make is obvious you are sarcastic (e.g. orh ort, /sarcasm, the tongue smiley, or this is sarcastic: blah blah). [Wow, I learned some english is physics.]

Enough ranting, if you are anything like me, you looked at that sizeable entry and went, "I don't want to read that, but I'm bored and have nothing better to do, I hope it's interesting." And I hope it was, have a good night.

Song: John Lennon - Happy Zmas (Was Is Over)

It's still on my mind, but not quite as much. Today I went to Tulsa with Chris. We walked around a lot while waiting for his car. Shopped at Best Buy and a few other stores around that area. I only bought some MiniDV cassettes for my camea, so now I can acutally record stuff. Because of walking so much, and for being in Flip-flops, I now have blisters on each foot. Umm... yeah.


4/24/04, 9:10PM
Song: John Arch - Relentless

I just got back from Paintballing. It was pretty fun. I went with Mike, his youth group, and LChris. Because of it I now have several welts all over; one on each leg, two on my back, and one on my right arm. Today was needed, it got my mind off of things and even probably got out some anger I may have had, right now I feel pretty good.

Before I went paintballing I messed with my computer quite a bit. I dusted it and overclocked it a little more to 2.13GHz. I need more days like this afternoon.


4/24/04, 1:10AM
Song: Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer

I just found something out, I'm not sure if it's good or bad, if it's what I expected or didn't expect, if it's good or bad that I even found it out, or even what I should do about it. Now is a perfect example of whan my heading/title has meaning. It'll probably be on my mind all night... and I'm not sure if that's good or bad, I'm so confused- now


4/24/04, 12:30AM
Song: Pink Floyd - Wearing the Inside Out

I came to the realization I hardly ever talk... at all. For an example I'll go through a normal school day and say about how much I feel I talk in that situation.Other situations I can think of:I guess that's enough for now. I think I should talk more than I do, but that's a hard thing to do.


4/23/04, 6:20PM
Song: Dream Theater - Space Dye Vest

On second thought maybe I shouldn't be buying any CDs, my car just got a tune up and crap that I have to pay part of. I don't think I should "waste" $40-$50 on CDs right now. I'm also going to clean-up the links I have posted on the left side, and also add a new game, very addictive; try and find it (actually adding 2).


4/22/04, 9:50PM
Song: Muse - Uno

School was pretty considering. English essay post-poned and the calc test wasn't too bad either. My mind has been wandering a lot today. As I've said several times before, I need a hobby or something to do other than sitting around here all day long; yet I still have done nothing to fix that problem. I want college, I want something to get me away from this monotonous life I've had since school started back in August.

I'm thinking about ordering another set of CDs kinda soon. I have 3 picked out already and I need a 4th to make the shipping be the best deal. So far I have these chosen:
Transatlantic - SMPTe: The Roine Stolt Mixes
The Tangent - The Music That Died Alone
Proto-Kaw - Before Became After

Any suggestions?


4/21/04, 10:40PM
Song: Metallica - Havester of Sorrow

2 hours in the gym was pretty fun. Got to talk to people I don't normally get to, especially for that length of time and in person (always better I think). Other than that playing my guitar some today has been pretty boring. This evening has been not so great too. I don't know what I want to do with my life, nor how to get there, nor anything else. For some reason I got pretty mad at myself for not being at JBS. gsdflkjgfjhjfds, still mad at myself. I sometimes wish I could just say to people what I want to, but nooooo I always have to thinkg of the posible concequences and keep it on my mind, never to leave. Tomorrow will suck.


4/20/04, 10:10PM
Song: Dream Theater - Peruvian Skies

Today was state solo/ensamble, it wasn't that great, I'd rather been at school so I didn't have to catch up in classes. Anyway we got a 2, though after looking at the sheet the judge could have given us a 3. He didn't though. AFter getting back to B'ville my mom told me to get my car, it had just started raining too, ubt it's working better now. The Emergency Brake even works now. Then the AP Phys session thing; nothing too exciting there. Now I'm here, I was going to write about something but it's getting kinda late, I also don't remember what it was.


4/19/04, 10:20PM
Song: Alice Cooper - Poison

Today was pretty good considering it was a Monday. Let's see, first off in band we didn't have to play, in english we didn't do a whole lot, and the same went for the rest of the other classes. But after school I got some bad news about my car. My mom decided to go ahead and fix the brakes, get a tune-up as well as fix other minor things making the total price a lot. Messed around with my camera some more, didn't learn anything new about it though. That's about all I did today, oh, I also played by guitar a little- I still really suck. Umm, I think that's it.


4/18/04, 10:40PM; The Day After Prom
Song: Led Zeppelin - When the Levee Breaks

Where to start... hmm, Friday. Had State Contest for Band, we got straight 1's, and overall it was pretty fun. The bus ride there and back was good, down time was good, there wasn't much else. Then Saturday rolled along.

Prom Day, it was good. Just two drawbacks, but that isn't enough to take away the fun. It started out with me waking up and learning I can get a free car wash. So I went and did that but, this is where the first drawback became apparent. I learned I had just gotten a hole in my radiator hose. Liquid was shooting onto my radiator, hopefully it'll be cheap to fix. After that stuff went on, and got ready for prom. Had pictures taken, at dinner, nothing exciting. Arrived at prom danced with several people, overall much better than last year, but therein lies the other drawback... yeah.

Then to "after prom" where I did something VERY uncharacteristic of me. I did Karaoke. Yes, me, Tyler sung two songs. I did In the Year 2525 and Yellow Submarine, though I did them before the crowd as big, I did it. It was even kinda fun, if I were to be around less people, and more people I was comfortable around I would've done more. Some other people did it too, but I think I did better than some, thought my Yellow Submarine was pretty bad... During the Karaoke stuff I'd get up and leave to find food, drinks, and talk to other people. I got several free things from peoeple, candy, glow braclet, and a beanie baby like thing. Before I knew it was 3:30 and they were announcing the big prizes. My name was called, and it was for one of the better prized too, a Digital Video Camera. It's really cool, I've been messing with it all day long. I had fun.

After that Jayme and I headed to Karl's to hang out. He had DDR so I had to show my skillz. That was fun too, after DDR we watched the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, it was funny. By that time it was 7 in the morning and I was dead tired. And that is prom.

As of today, it's been good. Telling people I won a digital video camera and that I karaoke has been fun. Time to sleep, or atleast soon sleep.


4/15/04, 10:40PM
Song: Porcupine Tree - Collapse of Light into Earth

Today turned out pretty good after all. Around lunch time I was starting to get really annoyed, not an uncommom occurance. But then while walking out to my car after school I found a $5 bill, just blowing in the wind *yoink*. Hmm, what else... DDR again, I did a little better today, but I still need a lot of work. I still need to decide.

Today I was reading through some of my posts from a few days ago, I realized TONs of typos and words that I left out, I really should learn to proofread this thing, or at least learn to type better.


4/14/04, 10:30PM
Song: Transatlantic - My New World

Some 'ol same 'ol (I'm not sure if I did the 'ol things correct, oh well). Not went on today, but I went out to my dad's on the way there I did something I'd only done once before; pass someone. It was weird, but they were going 55 in a 65 I had to do it. Also once at my dad's my step-sister showed me her new tent, it's really cool. Not only that but it's easy to set up and take down. That's that.


4/13/04, 10:35PM
Song: Yes - South Side of the Sky

Today has been pretty good, except for band which is a givin. The only homework that I had was Frankenstein questions which I had already done most of. Today I also updated the GMIA (link on the right side) with a new symptom. Hmm... oh! at lunch today I won the Power Lunch free lunch thing. I finally won near the end of the year... oh well. I also burned several CDs today. Time to start watching more TV and less typing, bye.


4/12/04, 10:20PM
Song: Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

Again, another successful day of homework doing. I'm all caught up in calculus, and the Frankenstein questions are almost done, only about 3 more to do. I also went to Wendy's today, got to talk with Mike for a while which hasn't happened in some time. Jessica was working and we talked some too when she wasn't busy working, all in all it was fun. I also made LChris a CD. I didn't do one thing I should have done.


4/12/04, 5:00PM
Song: Trigun - Scattered Rain

Here is a copy and paste thing that acutally is kinda cool and seemed to me worth copying and pasting

Answer each prompt using only the title of songs all by the same group/band. (One song per prompt, only)

Name of the band/group you're using for this: Fates Warning
gender: Soldier Boy
describe yourself: A Pleasent Shade of Gray
how some people feel about you: Disconnected
describe your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend: *cough* Leave the Past Behind
describe your current boyfriend/girlfriend: *cough* The Apparition
describe your friends: The Road Goes On Forever
describe what you want to be: The Ivory Gate of Dreams (umm, sure)
describe how you live: Circles
describe how you love: At Fates Fingers (why not?)
share a few words of wisdom: Eye to Eye
one thing you want to say to someone: Still Remains

That was harder than I thought, it also didn't help I can't really say much about a few of them. Oh well, such is my life.


4/11/04, 10:15PM
Song: Yes - Don't Kill the Whale; Easter

By degrees I got finished reading Frankenstein. I don't know why, but I kinda like the phrase "by degrees" I don't know what it is, though I wish I had never heard it. I read so much today, my eyes just want to die. I didn't do much other than read today, not even calculus. I had two Easter brunches, not a good idea, I got really full. Let's see, what else can I write about... I guess I could finally write about the origin of my screen name, like I said I would over a month ago, but then there is also the rest of the road trip I had over spring break. I think I'll go with the screen name, it'll be more entertaining I think.

First of all, it has nothing to do with the Mid-High school paper. I have had this screen name since I went to Madison. Now that that is out of the way, time for Final Fantasy. Remember that this was made when I was 12, several years ago; the main character in FF2 (FF4j) is really cool. He starts out in the game as a Dark Night and later changes into a Paladin. He's cool, almost as cool as Kain is/was. Then to the part about it not many people know. The movie Wing Commander. When this movie came out in theaters my step-brother and I went to go see it. One of the people in it was part of a group of humans called "pilgrims" that had special powers for some reason or another. In order to save everyone he had to tell people that and risk his life in saying so. He had to give them his secret code-name type thing, it was "Paladin." Now for the extra "n" that I had to add. When I first needed this name, I needed it for a geocities account, in fact, this exact one I'm using. The name "Paladin" was taken, so I added in the other "n" and it made everyone happy!!! ok, not really, but I like it.


4/10/04, 9:50PM
Song: Pink Floyd - Bike

I like this song a lot for reason, maybe because it brings back memories of summer, when life was much better than it is now. Today has been another lazy day. I read quite a bit of Frankenstein and fell asleep for about 40 minutes. I'm really ready for the school year to be over. Eeeh, I'm not happy with myself, I do several things I shouldn't do. And it's too late to change them now. I go through times like this every now and then; when I think I mean nothing, I just have to live with it. There are many things that I need to get sorted out, but I don't think I ever will. I also have been realizing that I dislike how I write. Other than the fact I hate writing, when I do write I hate how I do it. I don't want to do anything.


4/9/04, 7:40PM
Song: Transatlantic - We All Need Some Light

So I'm here sitting at my dad's house and I just now saw the first person here, my step-sister. I've been here for about 20 minutes, and she just now came out of my dad's and Connie's room - she was tanning in there. Today has been pretty good so far. Started kinda bad though, I woke up earlier than I wanted to, the rain woke me up. After a while I got out of bed, watched some TV, then finally got on my computer. From there I didn't do much, messed the registery a little, it was really fun; I like messing with things that most people don't even know about. Soon after that I started reading Frankenstein, though I didn't get very far I did get something done. My Grandma is visiting, talked to her for a while, then I went to Subway to eat with people. Ate and talked there for about an hour and a half, which was a nice change of pace from eating lunch in 20 minutes during school days. Right now not much is going on, I'll probably be out here most of the day, unless something is going on that no one has told me about. Oh well...

I just did a few songs on ddr, wow, I still suck, and still need to work on endurance stuff. I just changed the "heading" of this blog, just so you know. Right now I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing, I should decided soon, but I can't...


4/7/04, 10:00PM
Song: The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

So yeah, I'm going to have to get lucky on the english AP test to get a decent grade. Today at the study session thing I got 5 out of the first 13 correct. That's just the multiple choice section, the essays are going to be worse probably. I hardly know any books well enough to write about them. I don't read unless I have to, even then I forget it shortly after, I don't want to go into any type of english job, why should I have to take so many classes in it... oh well, it's life.

I feel kinda stupid right about now, in my away message for me being gone to english I had a bad typo, i forgot nealy half a word. Then I come here and realize that I don't know my alphabet. I did have 'R' coming after 'S' in my Blog section on the right.

I just got disconnected, and I'm waiting for it to come back, there it goes.

Today was pretty good, I don't have anything interesting to say [I just got disconnected again]. I can't wait for summer to be here, I can't wait to not have to go to school for 6 hours a day, I can't wait till I don't have to play my trombone anymore, I can't wait til I have a job, I can't wait til college, and I bet you can't wait til I stop doing this. Alright I'm just about done. Now I am.


4/6/04, 10:30PM; My older sister's birthday.
Song: Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine

Today was pretty good day. I did my calc which was a big surprise for me. I also found out that I'm going to fail the English AP test. I started working on the practice on, one the first 13 I didn't know several of the words in the answers, then I kept getting lost in the poem it was about, it was pretty bad. And that was just 13 of the questions. I looked at one of the essay promts as well, I had no idea how to answer it, let alone a book that I could use on it. I'm going to fail... There is so much english stuff I still have to do this week. By tomorrow I have to finish the practice test and by next week I need to have Frankenstein read. Well, there isn't much else to write about, comment or they will be removed; have a nice day.

Aaaahhhhhh, today is finally over. And I'm glad too. I actually remembered to burn Daniel his CD, only a month or so late. I also got another $1000 scholarship from OSU, olé. Did some DDR, I'm really out of shape, maybe I should do something about that. Im done here now, bye. No time to make a comments link thing, it won't be used anyway...

Song: Pink Floyd - Pigs (Three Different Ones)

Today was a pretty good day. I would say good but there was a calculus test. Mornings have been kinda hard on me the past few days, but that might change tomorrow. I had to present to day in english, I hadn't rehearsed it aloud, just gone over it in my head. I cut it really close, I hope I did well. Right after that was a calc test I wasn't prepared for either, it was hard. Though I did get a several, not enough to raise my C by any means. I had to clean out my closet today so that I could store a bookcase thingy in there, it actually gives me more space. As I cleaned it I threw away several things and since it has shelves I was able to get stuff of the ground, I have spare room on the floor now. My arms are starting to hurt for some reason, so I'm done here, bye.

This is last day for comments unless a comment gets posted. There have been 0 comments in the past week or so, surely at least someone has something to say to my posts.
