It's barren in here...

From Westfields to Willie "Woo Woo" Wong Playground

"Berkley N****!"

Ha!

Black Friday was surprisingly Asian.

It made me love San Francisco even more than before.

It made me realize how much I miss Chinatown.

It made me remember roaming the Zeum and Metreon as a child.

It also made me hate BART, because I can't forget the lady yelling at me, "in the grey sports jacket". It's all in the name of art, art for arts sake, and life for art.

I also was really happy to be con mis amigos y amigas, y me gusta caminar mientras cogidos manos. I hope that means what Yahoo Answers tells me it means.

It was really nice revisiting the places of gone-by times.

TVLAND was my channel

Shows I used to watch.

• Happy Days (Fonz is so cool)
• Get Smart (Not that terrible abomination of a movie)
• Gilligan's Island (I liked the Professor, obviously)
• I Love Lucy (Ricky sings well)
  

On why I will never wear Mardi Gras beads and Veterans day.

• On why I will never wear Mardi Gras beads.
  
  For my eighth grade graduation dance, our theme was "Mardi Gras". So the entire cafeteria was decorated with Mardi Gras stuff, including many masks, and I distinctly remember the wallpaper having a silhouette of a saxophone player on it, which was mildly cool. But the wallpaper was repeated every 5 feet or so, so there were an army of saxophone silhouette players in the exact same stance all of the cafeteria. Which was kinda tacky. There were balloons, a DJ, and Mardi Gras beads. There were A LOT of Mardi Gras beads. We messed around during the dance, throwing them at each other, and breaking them, and getting them covered with sticky soda. We all took some home, the ones that weren't broken or covered with food and soda. I still have a bunch in a treasure chest.
  
  
  Two days ago, I was channel surfing on the TV before I showered, and I saw a documentary called, "MARDI GRAS: MADE IN CHINA", and it told the story of the people in China who live in dangerous conditions just to make Mardi Gras beads, masks, and various other trinkets and paraphernalia. I only watched for 10 minutes, but it was very shocking. They worked for 14 hours a day, doing the same job. If they didn't pay attention, the machines could cut right through their fingers. If caught talking, they would be fined a whole day's work. They're paid unfair wages too. For every 12 Mardi Gras necklaces you buy, they only get $o.o1. One cent. They don't even know what the necklaces are used for in the United States, and could never dream of living in the extravagance and excess of Mardi Gras. Sorry if I'm beginning to rant.

• On Veterans Day
  
  We marched and played. Smelled burning flag. Reminded me of Kilgore.
  
  I don't know how to embed, so here is the link. :p
  
  "Love the smell of napalm in the morning." All I could think of was "Love the smell of burning flag." I loled inside. xD

"Smells like ... victory... Someday, this war is gonna end."

Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit

In 5th grade, my computers teacher told me that if the first thing you say on the first of a new month is "Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit", you get good luck. :)

Just so you know.

Today is un dia especial. Time falls back. November Jai Ho too. I hope he does something special for her today on their one month. The leaf blower outside is annoying me.

I learned a lot about human nature at the Halloween party, and I'm not sure I wanted to know some of the things I learned. I had rather hoped that the altruistic side of humanity would always prevail over selfish greed and desires, but I believe I am wrong. I lost my respect for a lot of people there, but also gained much more respect for others.

With some friends, there is no social pressure, no need to be accepted, and everyone there is there as is. No disillusionment, just pure pwnage.

But with others, you're concealing your true self to be what everyone else wants you to be. It's a constant game of masquerade, switching masks and costumes.

I guess in the end, that's the way life is. Disillusioning though. Sorry for the rather absurd post.

The weather deteriorates.

It is deserted...

Such a mass exodus.

I feel like I'm in a ghost town. Is anyone here?

Nonetheless, the weather is so psychotic.

It was nice having sunshine yesterday, but I miss the rain. The scent of the world after a downpour is my favorite smell in the world. But the feeling of the mass of electrons smashing into the world was worth it indeed.

Homecoming is this week, and I really want to help out my year with the float, but time simply escapes me. Friday shall be the day of eternal music and art, never to end or cease. Jazz Band, Rally, Homecoming Parade, Music Theory, then GameTIME.

And if time would be so gracious, add Litmag and Forensics to that list.

The whole world is sisyphean right now, as my herculean task shall never be finished, but forced to cycle for eternity, like f(x)=sin x. Just when I think I've finished, I pass π/2 and the onerous task continues.

Notime

Not enough time to do a full post.

Sorry.

School is getting harder.

I can't believe this is the fabled high school years of yore.

"IT JUST DOESN'T DIE!!! D: "

Tiring weekend.

Friday was cool. Spartans decimated the Dons. That'll teach them for (most likely) tagging our school. I think one of the taggers ran into me as they left? 0-0

Went to pizza. There was no room to sit, so I stood. It was fun, hanging out on the sidelines, and watching other people eat, slightly stalker-ish. I learned a lot about people, just by watching them eat and them interacting with others. It was a fun sort of social observation. I learned a LOT, but I can't tell you, Dear Reader, because I might compliment/insult you. Sorry. Then I got bored.

Saturday was Funny. We went to Bayfront Park to do beautification for Forensics. My friends and I encountered this one weed that just WOULD NOT DIE. We dug and cut it for half an hour, but that thing was monstrous. It was growing faster than we could kill it. D: When we finally gave up, some how a cigarette butt got knocked into the hole where the demon plant was, and it looked like it was smoking and mocking us. We buried the plant. Try and grow without sunlight, b****.

Ugh. I still have to play piano tonight. Dang. D:

HEYYY!!!! ITSSS A BIRRTTHDAYYY TOODAYYY!!!!

AND IT'SSSSSSSSSSS!!!!

CHINNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS.

Happy 60 Communist years China.

I'm tired.
Yesterday was A.G.'s birthday, but he had a migraine and went home. D:

Today was tiring on my lips.
Jazz Band, Sectionals, Symphonic Band, Lessons, and Practice. I'm going to end up with bleeding lips.

Blarggg.

I'm currently listening to "Starlight Express" by Andrew Lloyd Weber. I have to say, when the boy says, "THIS IS CONTROL" it freaks me out. I want to see the musical though. But I like the jazz/rock/blues feel of it. Did you know that the sequel to "The Phantom of the Opera" premieres on October 8th? And it's called "Phantom: Love Never Dies". And apparently Erik goes to America and runs a freakshow? I think it's going to fail miserably. I hope not though. I'm excited for it! :D

Self reflection is like looking inside yourself.

The title means exactly what it says.

Yesterday was a pretty good day.

Pinole Clean Up was a blast... of water. My goodness, it was WET.

Stupid rollers.

I'm so thankful for Mr. Cen, Ms. Chong, Mr. Fu, and Mr. Long for helping Jacques So clean all of the [expletive deleted] rollers and bins.

Later, my relatives came over, who are about to go to China for the Midsummer Moon Festival (I think that's it in English?). We had a splendid meal.

Then, halfway through dessert and a group AIM chat, the power died on my block. So, my computer died. D:

So I took pictures of candles. Pretty fun.

I was about to do an exposure picture with my camera and a flashlight when the lights came back on with a loud shrieking noise. I literally SCREAMED for half a second... in front of my parents and relatives. Man, that was embarrassing.

Then while I was sleeping, the power died again. It came back on around 4ish I think. I'm not sure. None of the clocks were working. I still haven't fixed them.

Today, I woke up, and my shoulder hurts.

When my piano teacher came, she talked about how terrible it was in the Philippines, how there was a massive flood, and she was very worried for relatives, and how the government of Philippines wasn't doing enough to help the people.

Then we started our lesson. As I was playing my Bach, a moment of, something, came over me when I realized that while a million miles away, people were in anguish and distress, here I was, about to learn an useless and impractical art.

I then continued my lesson, but not without a slight discomfort from my own lack of peril.

Club Awareness Day!

Today was Club Awareness Day!!!

w00t w00t! :D

It went quite well, far better than I expected! :D

10 new freshman for WE, and Litmag was pretty cool too!

I just really got angry when people began to (for lack of a better word) "diss" other clubs. Yes, I know I'm a hypocrite, but at least I can admit it. It's one thing to promote your club, but it's another to claim your club is superior/more fun than another. You know who I'm talking to. D:<

Especially when people mess with my clubs. Some people from Interact was hecka abusive towards WE. Plus their banner covered the whole table, and they told people who wanted to join WE to essentially, screw WE and just join Interact. And I'm not going to even discuss how rude people are toward Litmag. It's about respect people, and I've learned it. So should you! This really just angers me. Elitism is NOT cool comrades!

I really am enjoying most of my clubs this year though, regardless of what others say.

WE is getting better, and I hope we really have a wonderful year this year. WE're gonna be awesome! :D

Forensics and Marching Band weren't as fun as they were freshman year, but it's ok.

I'm excited for JSA, but I've been neglecting my duties so far. D: Have to finish my letter soon.

Lit Mag is getting better, and I'm moderately excited, as long as I don't have to deal with Mr. Good. Otherwise, Lit Mag is cool.

Horn Lessons, are, strange? We got free lessons this week because she canceled last minute last week. Yeah! :D

Music theory scares the stuffing out of me.


Blahhh!!! I'm bored.

Hello. My Name Is ____

Fuzzy Angel Austin?

HA.

Its a long story, so I won't bore you, whether you Comrade, Jacques, or Patriot.

"Hi silvernumbers Comrade,

You've hit your monthly bandwidth limit of 100 MB, which will reset on the first day of next month. Deleting existing photos and videos in your account doesn't free up space, but if you upgrade your account all limits are removed.

Just $24.95 a year? Holy smokes! That's cheap!"

GOD****IT.

Just kidding. It's ok.

Have you ever read "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"? Wonderful story.

I'm going to do a book list! :D

1. Blink
2. How to Survive a Robot Uprising
3. The Westing Game
4. Animal Farm
5. The Importance of Being Earnest
6. Playing for Pizza

Good books. :D

Whew. That was close. I was almost completely happy. Thank goodness. :D

I like being busy. It gives me less time to think about stuff. :D

These last 5 days or so have been the best so far this year.

Saturday's fun Birthday Party (Happy birthday Mr. Liu).
Sunday's fun Stroll, with friends.
Monday was pretty interesting, especially in AP Lang, where awkward things live again. It ended with terrible skanking.

Today was just Ok, pretty good, but boring and nothing significant. But that's ok too.

I'm afraid that once this run of happiness runs out, things are going to hit bottom real quick.

And that ain't kool comrade.

Are you a Comrade, Patriot or a Jacques?

Advance Directly to Go, Collect More Homework.

Blargh.

School is overkill.

6 hours of sleep a day, 3 hours of band. Staying at school longer than I'm at home.

I don't think that teenagers were built or evolved to degrade into zombies.

But what do I know? I'm just a idealistic bystander in the education game.

And I have to go to the College Faire thing tomorrow, and it's going to be until 11 o'clock?

And the only reason I'm blogging at all right now is because it's more productive than wandering aimlessly on the internet. Who knew it was so darn interesting?

On a brighter note, I now possess the Starcraft, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Crisis Core, Medal of Honor: Airborne, and Arrow of Time original soundtracks. I also have the Phantom of the Opera and Chess. So glad to have headphones to lose myself in the familiar world of Midgar and Tarsonis.

"Is it just me, or are we laggin' out here?"

B.C., while doing the tunnel for the millionth time.

I hope you found that funny, because I sure did. :D

I'm so tired.

But I'm having a pretty good time in school, although some classes are pretty boring.

And there is so much homework. D:

It seems that all I talk about these days is homework.

Remember back in elementary school there was no homework on weekends. Don't you remember how outraged we were when they started weekend homework? And then the uniforms and lanyards? Remember how we all always support our teachers getting more pay but we hate class, so we always wanted a strike? Remember Christmas with our friends, naively thinking that those two weeks were an eternity away from one another, yet none would show the slightest morsel of regret? When we did art projects and played four-square? When dodge-ball was just a sport and not a battleground? When dodge-ball didn't even hurt? When birthdays took entire days and not just the same song and dance? When school lunches were unbearably bad, yet everyone was forced to eat lunch? When we actually played in band? When our teachers would chastise us about our writing? When we learned cursive? When we sang American propagandist songs? When we all wanted to fight in a war and be the hero? When dang was unutterable? When we all wanted to be astronauts, doctors, or bears?

... good times....




Reminiscing hurts that you realize how you took that stuff for granted just as how you are taking your life for granted now. ):

But no time for that now. APUSH requires my dedicated devotion.

The Coalition of Failure

Junior year is tough, but very fun.

I'm not going to lie, but lectures in band are getting out of hand. D:
And I have a feeling it's only going to get worse.

Remember when Mr. R was talking about people who played Rosemunde (which is in cut time) in 4/4? Yeah... He was talking about me... D:

In the private playing test, it was terrible. I played the wrong scales, and when he told me to pick any part of the piece to play for him, I (obviously) picked the part with whole notes. It took me three tries to get whole notes right. D:

Maybe band isn't my thing.

And I have to start working harder in school.

Bye.

H1N1 scares me.

I feel fatigued.

Dang.

School is like monster devouring you.

Nom, nom, nom. No more AP students, just AP zombies.

So much homework, and life gets more complicated by turns.

I was a lonely freshman, taking on high school.

I was a ridiculously happy sophomore, excelling and excellent.

I feel twisted inside sometimes, when I ponder the path I have in my life.

Why should I, be- for lack of a better word- blessed, with the availability of modern live and conveniences?

I realize that even though sometimes teenage angst may get the better of me, that in my life I have it perfect.

So many, don't even get to experience teenage angst because they don't have the chance, to even live that long.

When I see this, I die a little inside.




As taken by Kevin Carter. He spent 20 minutes setting up the shot, waiting for the vulture to spread it's wings. Many criticized him for not helping the child, but he tried to justify that her parents were just minutes away, getting food aid from the U.N. 3 months later, Kevin Carter committed suicide.

As horrifying and introverted as this may seem, it's brought me to revelations.

I am not-for lack of a better word- an emo child, and no matter how much I suffer through school, work, heartache, that I can and will work through it all.

I always try to make the best of whats available to me, and I have done so all through my life.

I always knew that others were worse-off than I was, and I knew that I wanted to help them.

But I just don't know how.

Can you read this?

If you can, please tell me. I'm working out some problems with Blogger.

On the first day of first grade, I'll tell you what he did, he tripped over a pencil box, flew up in the air...

Chris Rice- Billy Joe Mcguffery

We used to sing this all the time in Middle school. Good times.

Unlike now.

I hate my AP Lang class.
I like the teacher, but some of the kids there are really obnoxious.
Especially the one next to me. Doesn't know how to use an inside voice.
And I don't want Physiology. It's killing me...

In unrelated news, a week ago I took a test to see my Big Five traits.

The Big Five factors and their constituent traits can be summarized as follows:

• Openness - appreciation for art, emotion, adventure, unusual ideas, curiosity, and variety of experience.
• Conscientiousness - a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; planned rather than spontaneous behavior.
• Extraversion - energy, positive emotions, surgency, and the tendency to seek stimulation in the company of others.
• Agreeableness - a tendency to be compassionate and cooperative rather than suspicious and antagonistic towards others.
• Neuroticism - a tendency to experience unpleasant emotions easily, such as anger, anxiety, depression, or vulnerability; sometimes called emotional instability.

(Thanks Wikipedia! :D)

You can see my scores here.

And although the graph is broken in the link, it looks like this (for me).


This made me feel bad, but I resolved to correct my shortcomings. 5 minutes later, with the power of will and Photoshop, this is what I got.



Much better! :D

An Observation Part 2.

(Utilizing previous experiences)

Hello Comrades!

It's a beautiful day in the Soviet Union and/or Communist China today, is it not?

Marching band was fun. We all experienced similar feelings of anger for too much marching, love for our love of music, and profound learning of each other's souls and feelings.

Summer is almost over. And we all don't like that.

I have had unique experiences with the doctor today, but our communal interests is much more interesting, is it not, comrade?

The new show is very elaborate and difficult, but I have a feeling that we all will be just fine and get it down great!

I am very busy at the moment, but the discussing of our integral feelings and the sharing of stories is much more exciting, and hopefully will make each one of us more endearing to the next, comrade.

Remember, comrades, marching band would not be marching band without the marching!

Until our great leaders call upon us once again,

[insert nom de plume here]

(End satire)

An Observation.

Observation 1: Many more posts are posted after Marching Band started.
Observation 2: Much fewer posts were posted during summer.
Observation 3: Most of the bloggers were away from each other during the summer.

Assumption 1: There would be more blogging during summer, to share experiences that were solely experienced by one blogger. Assumption Wrong.
Assumption 2: There would be less blogging during Marching Band, as most bloggers experience the same experiences. Assumption Wrong.
Assumption 3: Assumptions 1 & 2 would be most definitely correct. Assumption Wrong.

Conclusion 1: Sharing unique experiences is either a) boring to the blogger or b) boring to the reader.
Conclusion 2: Bloggers were too lazy over the summer to blog or post.
Conclusion 3: Bloggers were too busy over the summer to blog or post.
Conclusion 4: Bloggers want to share shared experiences with each other.
Conclusion 5: Bloggers dislike uniqueness or individuality.
Conclusion 6: Blogspot is full of Communists.
Conclusion 7: Conclusions 5 & 6 were an attempt at humor derived from fallacy.
Conclusion 8: Bloggers tend to post like, and similar posts.

Final Conclusion: For a successful blog, one must post about similar and shared experiences, all the while avoiding procrastination or too much work.

Credit: Me and the blogs which I follow.

Sometimes, running away is the right answer.

Ugh. Marching band is tiring. So is everything else. Forensics tomorrow. Doctor's appointment on Monday to check my heart. School soon. AP Lang summer assignments. Wrong classes. I can't believe I got Physiology, even though that is the last class I want. I want to just ditch everything and relax, but I guess I got enough of that in the last 3 weeks.

On brighter note, I'm back from Las Vegas which was really awesome. We watched Phantom of the opera, which was exhilarating. Too many buffets too. Good thing I'm working it off in Marching band. Also, had a moderately good day with friends.

I can hear the piles of unfinished work calling my name. Later.

Major Updates

Are going to happen. :D

The End.

Peace, Great-Grandma.

Sometimes, you just can't win.

On Saturday night, my great-grandmother had a stroke. Sunday morning, I had appendicitis, and had an appendectomy later that night. I got out of hospital Monday evening. Visited great-grandmother Tuesday evening. She's deteriorating.

I hate hospitals and the fragility of human life.

Princeton Review. Part 1.

It was fun. I met many new people, and made a Facebook. My first name is my real name, my last name is my middle name. If that makes any sense. Anyways, I tried to add everyone who reads this blog anyways, so really no point. :D

Tomorrow is graduation. I want to go home, yet stay here. It's just so different. Being here makes me realize how much I hate regular school. Regular school is just stupid. >:(

I'll miss you, JSA.

Week 3. I think?

The days are flying by, like the fireflies at the campus. Which there are a lot of. They are like streaks of sunshine in the clear darkness. The campus is creepy at night.

I'm currently trying to listen to my whole MP3 without skipping a song. Its been fun so far.
I really love the musical "Chess". It's a must hear.

I have lots of work, so, talk to you later.

See below post.

Ok. Non-rumor version of what happened last night. Some random dude goes into girls dorm. Police comes. No dude is found, possibly because he left. Some loser made up the part about the guy getting keys into guys dorm. Ta-da.

Almost End Week 2.

This week has been tumultuous, at least.
"IT'S A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS!!!!!!"
:D
Ok.
Sigh...
So much to say, too lazy to say it.
Some half-naked guy walked past my window. >.<
I need to start working harder.
Today was rough, but so far so good.
I lost my phone in the morning. D:
Then I couldn't finish my speech at lunch and ended up finishing it right in front of the teacher, then asking him if I could leave class to print it. That was pretty awkward/hectic. Then I gave an awesome speech, without any practice, and only my hastily completed outline to run from. I guess it kind of helped that I was talking about Rickrolling and Fail. It was pretty awesome.

Then when I left, I found my phone again! :D
I'm getting really fat. D:

Rewind: One day.

Yesterday, I had my debate, and lost. 11 aff(me), 1 abstain, 13 neg. BUT!!!
My critic told me I did a good job. Which was awesome. Since grades>winning.

Then we went to see fireworks, which were awesome. Like I said before, July 2nd, Battle of Princeton. It was cool. Then we went to get frozen yogurt! :D
Green Tea rocks. I'm unusually peppy right now.

BUT THEN....

When we got back, we couldn't go back to our dorms because apparently some freshman (psh) let in a stalker/rapist/drunk (we're really not sure what) into the girls dorm. The girls were evacuated, until the stalker/rapist/drunk found some keys and got into the guys dorm. Then the girls went back to their dorms and guys were evacuated. It was funny/scary of sorts. Then apparently he left, and guys went back to their dorms.

Rewind: sometime between a 3-5 days ago.

One of my friends couldn't handle the culture shock and the rudeness of the people here, and quit the program. :'(

Rewind: A week ago.

Or more like , 5 days.

We went to New York, and I went to see the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Metropolitan Art, or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or something like that. I had a really good time, but unfortunately, my roommate Mr. Nguyen didn't. Sorry.

Post pictures later. Too busy. Test tomorrow. D:

P.S. We saw Kite Runner today. That stuff was sick and made me really mad. Amir is a loser. Hassan is so awesome. Amir's father is so awesome. Hassan's son is awesome. Amir makes me sick.

P.P.S. I miss you guys.

Week One

Princeton is... old. My dorm is like a nuclear bunker from the cold war. But it's actually older than that. Princeton was actually the only university still here from the Revolutionary war. Or something like that. It's nice here. There was a thunderstorm last night, very epic. Laundry machines here are terrible. Made a few friends, but always feel very alone. Lots of people here like sports, so I'm obviously very lonely sometimes... I really don't know many people here, and I don't really feel I fit in sometimes.

BUT...


The food is awesome here for the most part. It's a buffet everyday every meal. Classes are easy/hard. If you pay attention, it's pretty easy, but there is a lot of work. I sleep approximately 7 hours a day, which isn't bad. Many people stay up to 3-4 A.M studying. We just finished our first exam, and we have our first dance. I don't really feel like going, because it's probably gonna be inappropriate all around. I actually hang out with an exclusive like, 5, people. I look at a lot of YouTube.

I'm a lot more loner here... I listen to a lot of Chess, and Weezer. Pork And Beans is awesome. So is the Soviet Machine. I miss you guys. I'm happy here, but also sad sometimes.

I'm learning a lot. Can't wait to get home and see my family and friends!

-From a serene place.
My pictures are posted at Photobucket right now, due to size limitations with Flickr. I'll post the best to Flickr later.

Arrived.

Arrived.

The Last Post

This is my last post before leaving. I'm not gonna have internet for a few days. Bye!

They call me Kobe, Kobeashi.

I had a good day yesterday.

It was fun. Basically the entirety of Thursday was composed of eating and fighting, most of the time with Nerf Guns. I got shot in my eye, stabbed with a improvised spear, and was killed. I was the antagonist, Kobeashi. :( On the other hand, I stabbed Mr. Castro with a spear, kicked him, punched him, shot him (a LOT), and shot a few rockets at him. I'll post the pictures later. :D We possibly made the worst movie ever. It wasn't even a movie. It was terrible.

At home, I watched the Chess In Concert from London, starring Josh Groban. It was spectacular. Watch the trailer. It is just a tad too epic, but very close. I especially liked the Soviets.

It's my last full day at home, and I need to finish packing. I'm scared of Princeton.

Filming?

Today is Thursday, and for some reason, my friends want to film. So apparently my friends are filming today, and I am stuck at CCC waiting for someone to pick me up. It beats staying home I guess. I actually am quite excited, as we are doing a parody of sorts. :D
I'm personally starting to be afraid to go to Princeton. We have communal bathrooms!
I'm going to miss everyone here...

I shame to wear a heart so white.

My favorite line from Macbeth. Ok, so the whole line is actually "My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white." But nonetheless, looking to the past, I should have done so many more things, but my heart was too white... Packing for Princeton, I can't believe my parents got me another camera, even though I should not and do not deserve it... After all, I broke my camera and my cell phone... I'm at home while all my friends are at school. As in CCC...
I'm actually gonna use my flickr again now...

Broken Camera, Shattered Hearts, Splintered Bodies

Ugh. Broke the camera definitely.
It's hard to know that you broke the thing you love...
There was so much I wanted to do this year that I failed to do.

Onward through troubling memories to fascinating recollections.

Friday was MANTASTIC! Had a MANTASTIC day with my (guy) friends. :D

Waiting to live, waiting to die, waiting for an absolution that was never to come.

Last day of school!

Things on my mind:

1. Graduation
2. Fixing broken camera
3. Not messing up in life
   

See me soaring in the skies...

Finally, I have time! Or not really. Anyways, I'm going to do a picture project for the last week of school. I'm not telling what it is though... He he he...

To be a better person, for the last 4 days of school, is my hope.

Have you ever wanted to do something so badly, but you couldn't?

P.S. 100th post

If I don't, will you?

Ugh... I hate yearbooks. So pointless, and annoying. Instead of just hanging out with friends, you have to ask people to sign your yearbook and waste time writing cliche'd memories and unusually peppy messages to people. But enough of that.

The main point of this blog is that I am feeling utterly uninspired and dull with my world. And I know that the world can be more intriguing than it first appears to be. And I think that I should go out and rediscover it. So I'm going to do a week of something to help me discover myself, and the world. Not literal exploration, but figurative, if you will.

Um. Minor sub-topics. For the last week of school I will bring...Finish later....

The longer I fight, the more I forget why I ended up here in the first place.

The more I want to surrender and accept defeat, the more I can't bear to see the cowardice of the white flag.

Moments of Glee and Times of Despair

Ugh...
Filming is so tiring. I'm never using my camcorder again. And I hate Windows. I've defended you to the last, Microsoft, but there can be no apologies today. Or last night. I spent 2-3 (!!!) hours trying to network my dad's computer and my computer so I can transfer my movie. Never happened. Ended up using my dad's iPod as a memory drive, but still couldn't transfer a 4.03 GB file on a drive with 4.90 GB free. So I gave up, and didn't transfer the file.

Ugh... Filming is tiring. But I'm having a lot of fun. Kinda. Bye.

Please mind the gap between the train and the platform.

Sigh! Eventful weekends are taxing on me. I like the title/quote because

• They always say it on the Tube (London Underground)
• It reminds me of the gap between the planning (platform) and execution (train)
• There is a gap, and if you don't mind it, it will kill you.

Did you know that all but 2 of my T-shirts come from either a vacation spot or school? I don't go shopping much...

Saturday was really fun, and I'm going to ignore those who went do Great America. We had to film for my English class a scene for Macbeth, and I was Macbeth! Very fun with my friends, and very funny. Once I finish editing it, I might post it on YouTube. We are doing Act 2 Scene 3, if you want to know. We used a teleprompter (Laptop) so we didn't have to memorize any lines.

Sunday I had relatives coming over. Pretty fun. But they have a baby, and it was cute. I guess. It then picked its nose and then groped My Beige Bear. >.< Last time, it regurgitated on my pink elephant. Next time, I'm going to send them into hiding. "!El Bebe esta en tu casa mortando tus hombres!" I hope my espanol was correct.

Really great songs, Vienna by Billy Joel. It is exquisite. And Happy Together by the Turtles. These two songs describe my life right now. Listen to them!

Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!

I am going to Princeton. But I still have lots of stuff to prepare. I need to...

1. book flight
2. complete medical
3. mail payment
4. mail room request

And all of that was due... Yesterday.

Let there be no Pyrenees!

P.S. Pyrenees - Mountain range in France
P.P.S -Let there be no Pyrenees! - Let there be no barriers!

Um. Ok. Still trying to gather money. I think that I think about that even more than 60 seconds a minute. Thursday was a good day all in all. I LOVE RED ONION! They actually said that they might be able to help me with Princeton! YEAH!

If anything, I've learned that although most people want to help, they can't because of financial or corporatism restraints. There is still good left in the world!

My whole world is like the "Twilight Zone"... It changes so much everyday. Everyday is like a new episode, and I don't remember what happened yesterday. I've got more stuff to do than stuffing in a Thanksgiving turkey. Get it? Ha. Everyday is filled with small complications that don't matter in the long run, but yet it bothers me like a fly on a cow. Not that I'm a cow. Or I might be in the next episode. Ahh... that was back when television was actually good. I wish I lived back then.

For my English Final, we have to FILM/REENACT a part of MACBETH. My camcorder is so old. And I'm Macbeth. Hehehe... Assassination! That's why I'm all dressed up today, in case you were wondering! Plus I got my lamp, tripod and camcorder! No camera for me today!

I'm feeling very good today. Plus, later we have the WE PARTY!! Yay! I'm excited. I bought a lot of food with the money you guys gave me! IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME! But global warming is bad guys.

I need new headphones. Ok. Bye!

Closing the gap. (Not really)

I NEED JSA MONEY SO BAD. I'M PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GO BECAUSE LACK OF MONEY. FUND RAISED :$0 WHY WON'T THEY GIVE ME MONEY!!!!!!

Yesterday was a really busy day.
In band we sightread some music, and it seems next year there will be a lot of horn pieces next year, which really worries me. I'm not really ready for heavy duty horn playing, seeing as my lips get tired just from playing Pomp and Circumstance. I'm afraid to play some of the music, and it seems very... scary.

Then, in 5th period (Advanced Placement Biology), we had to dig through owl pellets. There was a lot of fur in them. And although it was really disgusting and made me want to return my lunch, it was also pretty cool. We found a skull, and lots of bones. I could even see the little teeth. I think that it was from a shrew? Plus there were a lot of fans on, so all the debris from the owl pellets were flying in the breeze. Eeew.

In 6th period (World History), we had a substitute, and although I thought he was pretty boring before, it turns out he's pretty cool. He had a discussion with us about gay marriage, (like a JSA thought talk?) and he moderated.

Then I had my last horn lesson of the year. It makes me sad to see that the end of the year is happening so fast. Already, I've gone through half of my high school. :(

Then I had to rush to Contra Costa College to register for summer classes if I can't go to JSA PRINCETON! D:

Then I had to rush back to school for a College Financial Planning presentation.

Gosh, I'm tired.

1 minute in my mind.

20 seconds - Worrying over JSA fundraising.
15 seconds - Worrying over school.
10 seconds - Worrying over summer.
5 seconds - Trying not to worry.
5 seconds - Worrying over friends.
2 seconds - Worrying over strange feeling in stomach.
1 second - Worrying about myself.
1 second - Hungry
1 second - Thirsty

Monday

Had relatives over, got really fat from BBQ.

Friday, and Saturday. Filled with assassinations, swords, anger, tag, Angels and Demons.

Quick summation of Friday and Saturday in lists of 5.

Friday

1. Ms. Fontajon's (spelling?) birthday
2. Fernandez Park
3. Play structures are fun
   
4. Still very angry at whoever else touched/played my French Horn without my permission, and then LIED to me about it. Furious fire burning in me. That ruined my day.
5. Rip-off dinner for a quesadilla (spellling?)

Saturday

1. Mr. Woo's Birthday
2. Unopenable present/wasted lots of Saran-wrap and aluminum foil.
   
3. Halo 3, got assassinated, beat down. Did likewise to others.
4. Watched Angels and Demons
5. Played tag, football, basketball.
   

Summation- Don't touch my French Horn. Still very angry.

The Skies.

2 Gas Stations, 1 Convenience Store, 1 Music store, 1 Bank, 2 Supermarkets, 1 Cellular Store, and 5 Resturaunts Later...

I have raised...

(Drum roll please...)

$0.

Actually, $-1, because I had to print out the letters.
Sigh*
I can't believe that I need an extra $4000 still...
I need a job...
Probably over the summer.
Or a sponsor to help me get to Princeton.
If you know where I can get either one, please tell me.
Thanks.
Slowly uploading more photos.
Check them out.
I abandoned Photobucket due to its seeming lack of interest and professionalism.
Farewell for now.

Yay! Got into Jazz Band.

But I'm sad because I think that Mr. Castro should have gotten in also.
Not much else.
Needs to buy new scissors for Mrs. Macdonald because someone (cough) broke them.

Is Finally Finished With Photography

Yay! I'm finished with photography. I'm still slowly uploading my pictures to Flickr, so give me time. I tried to burn my compact disc on a Windows, but it wouldn't run on a Macintosh. But my teacher helped me burn another one. Yay. If you like photography, you should take the class. Its kinda useful and it is pretty fun. But anyways, now I have an extra disc of my pictures. If you want it, you can tell me! Distribution! Yay! I should start charging prices later. I need to raise $4000 still... I really hope that the school will help out with this one...

Twinge of regret

After mulling over it the whole weekend, I'm not so sure I want to go to Jazz band.
I don't really think I'm good enough for it.
*Sigh*

Anyways, I finally finished my photography project, which I'm really happy about.
I'll slowly put them on to Flickr, but it's going to take some time, because I don't have time. If that makes and sense at all. I've been listening to a lot of Canon in D now, I don't know why. It so, soothing. I'm tired. I can't tell if my Razr is a original Razr or a Razr V3. I hope I will pass Digital Photography with an A, because my pictures are really, for lack of a better word, bad.
Can't wait yet hate the end of the school year.

I had a bad day. So what?

Friday was a bad day.
Got yelled at by band teacher.
I can't sight read at all...
Broke my cellphone...
But it's all okay.
I'll get over it all.
I now have a original first-generation Razr.
:D

It's so... primitive.
Just kidding.
I'm going to upload my Macro pictures to Flickr now.
Bye!

Culinary Friday!

Yay! When I was young, there were three careers I wanted to pursue-

1. Aircraft Pilot
2. Doctor
3. Chef

This last week, I discovered two great tasting combinations.

Rock Candy + Microwave = Liquid sugar

I put it on a toothpick and it was fun to mess with it before it hardened.

Yogurt + Banana = Yogurt-covered Banana

Tasty as well.

That's it for the Culinary part.
I'm discovering a lot more music now.
I'm almost finished with the 2nd and halfway through the 3rd photography projects.
I'm never going to finish on time...

Are You Real?

For Trumpet Jazz Band Tryouts, I am playing Mike Metheny's Cornet Solo on "Are You Real".
Except I play it 4x as slow as he does.
For Piano, I am playing "The Dream of Olwen". It's one of my favorite pieces. But I'm going to foul it up because I haven't played for a long time
Having not practiced in a long time, I forgot how fun piano was.
Photography project is impending doom.
I only have 1 and 9/10's of projects done.
Anyways, that's about it. More later I guess.

Piano is not my forte.

Fail on the piano today. D:
It's Okay though, because I'm trying out for Jazz Band on the Trumpet as well.
I don't even think I want to play piano for Jazz Band now... Looks REALLY hard to sight read.
My style of learning is basically play the same piece for ages until I get it right. Sight reading is nonexistent in my world.
Hope I do better on trumpet.
Going to talk to people, ask for money for PRINCETON!
$4000 more to go...
Maybe I just won't go...
I'm almost finished with my second set of eight photos. But I forgot my camera...
Now I'm a full day behind on pictures...
But I must say, the Body Parts pictures look awesome. Thanks to everyone who let me steal parts of their body from them.
Photobucket versus Flickr. Flickr is winning for sheer completeness and neatness.
Photobucket looks a mess, and lower quality. But it's got no limits that I know of.
AIM versus Meebo. Meebo winning for no advertisements. But AIM looks more exciting.
Today is Wednesday. I want to make a plog. Its a Paper LOG. Because Blogs are weB LOGS. Get it? Nevermind.
Did you notice there are no gaping holes today?
P.S. Fixed Photobucket Link.

No song title today. I've got revelations!

Hello All. I really hate the current format of the blog. You probably do too. It's annoying right? So, I believe that I'll make a few changes later. But for now, I'll going to try to do this paragraph style. Trying out for Jazz Band. Insert [fear] here. I'm really scared about it. But I'm more scared about my photography project. So if I take pictures of you, don't get freaked out. This blog is too focused on me. I think I should start a new blog, this one doesn't accomplish what I want it to. I need to widen my horizons, and use a wide-angle lens instead of a telephoto lens, if you know what I mean. I'll post more later. I've gotten a Photobucket and a Flickr, and I'm comparing them. I like flickr because of the layout is more calming and it was made by Yahoo! (Best Company Ever!), but it has upload limits. I like Photobucket because it has no limits, (or that I know of yet). I've uploaded the first of 8 of my photography projects. You can check it out at Photobucket or Flickr. Hopefully I hyperlinked the right thing. Later!

If you're gonna lose, you might as well lose big.

Lose Big- Eef Barzley

Or at least i think it is spelled like that.

Um.

ACCAL we won twice and lost twice.

The concert wast terrible for me...

Ugh...

I messed up a lot.

Oh well...

I'm going to really miss my section leaders...

Um...

I have to work now...

AP Bio doesn't study itself!

Evolving,

I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier.

All the Things I've Done- The Killers

I'll never defeat the Rising Sun...

Um...

What else...

Scared to death of the AP Biology test...

I got a 72, but that's not good enough!

Grr...

Going to ACCAL and then Symphonic band...

I hope I don't get all sweaty.

Um.

Political Commentary.

In my world history class, we're learning about the modern world.

I am very interested in the United Nations.

I think that it truly is a force of good.

When I grow up, I might want to work there.

Yay!

End Political Commentary.

I hope I can survive Chorale and Alleluia...

That stuff kills me...

Um...

I guess adieu until next time.

Fearfully,

You can all just kiss off into the air, behind my back I can see them stare, they'll hurt me bad, but I won't mind.

They'll hurt me bad, they do it all the time. (Yeah, Yeah!)

Kiss Off- Violent Femmes

Um.

Not much...

Another list!

Favorite web comics-

xkcd
Multiplex
Toothpaste for Dinner
Questionable Content
A Softer World

Um...

Sigh*

I still don't know if I should go to ACCAL.

I might want to stay back at school, so I can study...

Sigh*

WE is getting more difficult.

I don't want to write about my dreams suddenly. I'm just going to bore the world.

Um.

It's more fun to relive them in your head than to transcribe it to words.

Sorry.

Um.

...

I can't help but push enter after every line...

Bye.

In the cold gray light of dawn an eagle flies, And the men are happy wearing matching ties

Flickr-Jonathan Coulton

Yes, it's a song.

After I saw my friend's flickr, I wanted one for three reasons.

1. Looks uber-cool.
2. Photobucket is blocked at school
3. Flickr isn't.

Um.

By the way, I have to do a project for my photography class.

Would anyone be willing to pose ridiculously with an egg for me?

Thanks.

Um...

I've been thinking, and next post I'll probably do a two-part epic about my dreams.

To-do list for the rest of the year.

1. Destroy the Rising Sun
2. Survive
3. Do SAT for Biology, Math, and World History
4. Do AP Biology
5. Fundraise to go to Princeton
6. Do 96 photos for Photography
7. Survive again
8. Sleep
9. Grow to at least 5'10"
10. Do WE visitations
11. Finish selling Literary Magazines
12. Get better at Badminton

Yeah...

I like my dad's Sansa music player. It's very convenient.

Tired...

Um.

Check out my story for a children's book.

Don't tell me it sucks, I know it does.

Chapter 1

A long time ago in a foreign land there was a wonderful kingdom full of happiness and adventure. There lived many happy citizens of the country, but there were three outstanding people. There was a great Archer, who was rumored to be able to hit a bird soaring in the sky without killing it. There was a powerful Swordsman, who could overpower a bear with one hand. Lastly, there lived a Magician who could cure any disease that existed. But there was a problem. In that kingdom, there lived a plague. And it couldn’t be killed, cured, or taken away. It was burdening the people of the land, and everyone suffered from it. Even the three Heroes were affected. Everyone became lethargic and tired. No one wanted to work or even do anything. They all just wanted to do nothing.

One gloomy morning, a mysterious cloaked man came to the nation, and proclaimed that a cure existed. However, it was a far distance from the kingdom, and it was guarded by many monsters that were fierce, fearsome, frightful, and worst of all, evil. So the Archer, Swordsman, and the Magician took off to find the cure, braving misery, unhappiness, and even death.

Chapter 2

Along the way, the Archer, the Magician, and the Swordsman faced a large evil dragon. It had blood red eyes and large black teeth. Its wings blocked out the sun, and its tail was thicker than a trunk of a tree. First the Swordsman tried to cut off its tail, but the scales on its body protected it.

Next, the Magician attempted to conjure a pillar of fire to obliterate it, but unfortunately the dragon just flew away and dodged it. Lastly, the Archer shot a single arrow into the dragon’s eye. It punctured the dragon’s eye, and the whole dragon popped and exploded like a balloon.

Next, they encountered a giant snake. It had 100 heads on one body, and it was as quick as lightning. First, the Magician tried to create a sandstorm to confuse it, but the snake wasn’t vulnerable. Then the Archer shot an arrow and killed one head, but there were still 99 more to go. Finally the Swordsman grabbed the whole snake, held the 99 heads together, and tied the whole thing into a massive knot. The snake, confused and tangled up, was helpless but to watch the three heroes continue on.

Then, they came upon an enormous bee hive. There were millions of bees inside, and each was as deadly as poison. The Swordsman tried to crush each one, but there were too many for him to use his skills. The Archer too, was bested by the sheer number of bees. However, the Magician cast a spell and the entire bee hive was covered with smoke. The bees couldn’t see the three heroes, and so they continued on to the final beast.

Chapter 3

The Final Beast was a terribly frightening. It was a beast shrouded in darkness and evil. In fact, the whole beast was a fog of darkness. It loomed over the landscape, and was so dark, it even dimmed their torches. The Swordsman tried to cut the mist, but to no effect. The Archer too, tried to shoot the fog, but to no effect as well. The magician was blinded by the darkness. The fog loomed and was impervious to all of the attacks by the heroes. The darkness made it impossible for the three heroes to find the cure.

Defeated, the heroes returned home. On the way back, they had an epiphany. They realized that they had already found the true cure. It was the adventure, the bravery and the friendship they found on the adventure. At home, they spread the word about their findings. Everyone lost their lethargy and became happy once again. The three heroes were revered by everyone, and everyone lived happily ever after.

Farewell, my fiends.

You're so ahead of yourself, you forgot what you need.

Dream on, but don't believe that they'll all come true.

Vienna-Billy Joel.

So happy in Disneyland.

It sucks to be wretched from the happiest place on earth and moved to... here.

Sigh*

I miss it already.

Um.

Don't want to bore you with a bunch of stories from Disneyland, so I'll just post a top 10 list.

1. Splash Mountain 4 times in a row
2. Space Mountain with Nez
3. California Screamin' 2 times in a row
4. Missing Friday's School
5. Music Workshop
6. Moving Bus + Food = Mess
7. Taking advantage of the Buffet at Captain Kidd's
8. Hanging out with Mr. Woo and Mr. Guevara
9. Resisting temptation to buy a $3 churro
10. Disneyland in general

Yay.

I might post some pictures, but I might also procrastinate.

I probably won't blog for about a week, because of fund raising for JSA and the Advanced Placement Biology Test.

Wish me luck!

Really tired,

Love of mine, someday you will die, but I'll be close behind, and follow you, into the dark.

Death Cab For Cutie.

Um. Yeah. I lost my plant at JSA...

I hope she's having fun without me at the Marriott. Dang. Forgot to water it the last day...

It's probably dead.

:'(

I'm scared of swine flu...

Um...

I really need to study for AP Bio. It scares me more...


Ugh...

Allergies suck...

I need money for JSA...

Arrghhhh...

Um...

Yeah...

I love Reese, but not as much as Kit Kats...

Um.

The Dashboard Melted But We Still Had The Radio

Well, it shoulda been, coulda been worse than you could ever know-ow.

Modest Mouse Yay!

Um.

No new developments.

Stay tuned?

WE ASSIGNMENTS- FIND A PROJECT

Also, I propose a joint-blogging project for Disneyland, where (if people help me) we can each blog about a separate part of Disneyland.

Thinking about it...

Um.

Yeah...

This post was from yesterday, forgot to actually post...

Afterwards, the cold settles in.

Um. So. Yeah...

So I've been at Junior States of America.

Awesome. I had a lot of fun.

Like, killer. It was cool.

I really had a great time.

Yeah...

Um...

I would add more, but you can probably see it in other people's blogs.

Um.

The first day and a half was better than the end.

:P

The ending was sad, because although it seems lame, I really felt at home there...

Looking forward to summer school.

Need money.

Homesick,

Stuck in Life Science STAR/CST

Hello.

Stuck in Life Science STAR/CST...

Um...

Earth Day!

Yay.

Monday was a good day (I think...)

Tuesday was a terrible day...

Sigh...

I've become a lot angrier at stuff now...

By the way, in my blog, Lo Se Ho is now Well.

Get it?

Hahaha...

<- Well -> Giraffe



It'll probably change by Monday because of Litmag Visitations...

I can't believe it...

Seriously, why?

It's stupid...

Ooh Got to go.

Bye,

I want to gel my hair.

The title says it all.

Um. Wore all black today. Not a good idea.

Must research for gubernatorial stuff.

Blue Sunny Day is an awesome song by Jonathan Coulton. (Vampires?)

Um.

So close to an A on my math test...

I thought I spotted an extra 5 points, but my teacher was telling me to turn it in an I freaked...

So I turned it in without asking him to regrade.

I'm stupid.

To tell the truth, I'm scared of all of my teachers...

Yeah.

I get nervous around them...
All teachers actually...

Um...
Not much else...

Grammar for the win!

P.S. Does anyone know how to change your profile on AIM?

Mine has been on the same stupid thing forever...

P.P.S. When I looked at the poll thingy, it says that 11 people voted...

But I only have 10 followers...

Random Viewer?

And some people made me feel bad because they want to wipe their arse with my web log...

:'(

Tearfully,

Zombies and Monkeys and Love, Oh My!

A word (or words) of explanation.

Jonathan Coulton is awesome.
Best musician I like.
He has the best songs.
You should really listen to him.
Um. You can listen to all his songs there.

But you probably won't.

Anyways.
Onward!

Um.
I get to do a Junior Statesmen of America Debate! Yay.

RESOLVED: That a constitutional amendment banning gubernatorial appointments to Senate vacancies in favor of special elections be introduced.

I'm Affirmative.
Yay.

Gubernatorial=governor

Help me out guys!

Um.

Got Ketchup on my pants while trying to dip my cheeseburger in my honey mustard.

Before that, went to Cal Day 2009!

Learned a lot.

I might want to major in Public Policy.

Sounds really interesting.

Engineering sounds hard...

Friday, went over the river and through the woods to grandmothers house we go/went.

I feel bad I don't visit her more often...

Sigh*

I was thinking about doing a video documentary on my grandparents...

I hate how she lives in a retirement home, everyone there is just waiting to die...

Today, got new pants/clothes/socks.

I look spiffy now...

Must stop procrastinating Advanced Placement Biology.

My essay for Advanced Placement Language sucks.

Bye.

Adieu,

Hi.

Bye.

Lets try this again.

I hope this works.

I shouldn't have saved it as jpeg before converting it to gif...

Darn...

Noooooooooo!!!!

It doesn't work!

Let's try this again.
I just noticed that the title needs a apostrophe.

What evers.



Yessssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy now!

From Happyland,

Um. Not much.

Worried to death about the Princeton thing.

Got to do a pointless essay now.

Um.

Yay?

Tidbit of information time.

For years I have told people that it is illegal to shoot camels in Arizona.
Lame, because I'm a nerd and have nothing better to do than to pester people.
When I found out it was legal my heart broke.

But at least Kansas is still flatter than an Ihop Pancake.

Yay.

Present,

Lets try this

Darn. Its opposite the original.

Sigh...

Try making one yourself!

Ignore the um... what's that word?

It begins in a C and means like, unrefined.

...

...

...

...

Ahah! Crudely!

Ignore the crudely drawnness of it.

If drawnness is even a word...

Um. Quickly, or we might get caught!

Working on my application for Junior Statesmen Of America Summer Program.

So, quickly, on vacation I won 5 things.

Tootsie Roll. (The long one, not the short ones)

Fuzzy Dice. (Only one)

Teddy Bear sown into a pillow. (Cruelty)

Elephant. (Resembles a weapon according to my brother)

Large, yellow, um... pumpkin/lemon thing with legs and stripped socks, with a suction cup to put it somewhere... (Bizarre)

I was gonna share the Tootsie Roll with you guys, but I ate it.

Sorry.

It wasn't that yummy anyways. Don't worry.

Aside from that, buffets for three days in a row equals fat.

Later,

Just got back.

Just got back, as the title implies. I guess all my friends are at Mr. Byrne's birthday party. Wish I could go.

I can tell from my America Online Instant Messenger Buddy List being extremely barren.

I'll tell you about my vacation later, since no one cares anyways.

:D

Not to be emotistical in any way, by the way.

Later,

Last post before vacation.

See you all later.

I'ma going.

Soon.

From,

I am called superfantastic!

Darts of pleasure. Yeah. Franz Ferdinand again.

Um.

Well.

I've noticed my blog is very aerated with enters.

Not much new.

Tired.

Waiting for RENO!

Yay.

Um.

I miss you.

(Talking to no one)

I'm crazy.

Ta-ta,

Um. Hello.

Not much really.

Thinking about starting a new blog because this one fails.

I've noticed I enter after every sentence.

My fingers are too smooth, so it's hard to type.

Enemies on the horizon. Don't worry about it.

I've been very attracted to my same sex lately. Maybe because I fail with the opposite sex.

Yeah.

Do you ever wonder, back when you were a little kid and if you saw yourself now, would you be proud?

I'm not sure.

I think so, because I'm a winner in academics, but a social loser.

I would probably be happy about my school, but saddened by my lack of a life. Wow. I accidently typed fire instead of life first.

Would you be proud?

Wonderingly,

If I have a dagger in my eye, how can I see you?

Dang. I always forget what I want to web log about.

Yesterday, I thought I would leave my jacket in the Band Room.

"It's gonna be warm" I thought.

Then it rained.

Today, I decided that I was to lazy to find my belt.

Now, it's raining like no tomorrow.

And, my trip to Vegas got canceled. :(

Now, I'm going to Reno!

And, Princeton better accept me.

But I haven't even finished applying.

Err. Yeah.

Written by hand from,

We'll All Float On Alright

Um. Not much.

Wearing black.

I think that I want to go back to last year.

Bye.

Signed and sealed,

Swallow, Smile

It's a good song by Franz Ferdinand. Yay.

I got a haircut.

Got a 3 on my practice Advanced Placement Biology Test. Yay. 1 point away from a 4. If I only do that good on the actual thing.

Not much else.

I think that people are being too stressed out. Watch out for Spontaneous Human Combustion.

Until we don't meet again,

Words of poison darts of pleasure

So...

Not much...

Friday's WE meeting kinda failed...

Um...

Excessive use of dots...

It's a Terran Marine from Starcraft II! I can't wait!

On an unrelated note, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is way better than Pokemon Platinum. Sorry, but it's true...

The title of this post if from Franz Ferdinand's song, "Darts Of Pleasure"

I got to go. I'm going to take a practice Advanced Placement Biology test.

I don't like acronyms.

I also got 1905 on my practice SAT. Darn... :(

That makes me sad...

Until next time,

My heart tears apart it's plumage in it's attempts to escape.

Um.

Worse day yesterday.
4/1 and 4/2 were the worst days by far so far.

Sigh...

Giraffe is catching up to Lo Se Ho. Rapidly.

Where do I begin?

Yesterday, at the badminton game, after we won our game, I sat down to rest.
Then like, 5 minutes later, my heart suddenly beat REALLY FAST
Like, explosively fast.
I was afraid I was having a stroke/heart attack/spontaneous human combustion because I was scared. Yeah...

So I went outside to get some air, went inside to lie down, and then decided to tell the coach. But just as I got there, my heart suddenly slowed down to normal. Like, my heart was bipolar. So I'm afraid. The future forecast is frighteningly fearful.
I kept my hand on my pulse for 1 hour to make sure my heart didn't suddenly stop...

But whateves...

Maybe I should relax and stop stressing...

Aside from that, Lo Se Ho is scary.

Um.
Yeah.
Later I guess...

Sincerely,

I got a knife in my back, my face is in the earth, my mind is shattered into stars, and my heart is frozen over

Not very happy.

Terrible day yesterday.

I'm tired, sad, angry...

I wonder if this will work.

Sigh...

I've developed to become more angry and frustrated. Stupid hormones.
I'm feeling down. I hate yesterday.

I love CADIE though.
(Google's April Fool's Joke)

Other than that...

Yeah...

^{This is you}This is them _{This is me}

Lol.

I love playing with HTML...

Bye for now. Maybe later we could get away from this place.

Laugh Out Loud

I promise you, no April Fools for me today. I hate it. I always get messed up, because I'm so gullible.

I HATE HATE...I don't want to put his name, but in Chinese, it is Lo See Ho. Good luck with that. I printed out like, freaking, 20 pages of stuff for him. Then when I was cutting stuff, I messed up half of it.

Let me start over. I have to print out 200!!!!!! reciepts. And 18 order forms.

So I cheated. I made the reciepts tiny. And only printed 140. Minus 13 that I messed up cutting.

Then I had to print out 18 order forms. Once again, I skimped and printed out only 9.

Now all the printers in my house are OUT OF INK!!

Sigh...

Check out CADIE. It's Google's April Fool's Prank this year.

Um.

Darwin would cry if he saw me.

I am the embodiment of failed evolution.

Yech.

Did you know that I lost my first tooth in the 3rd grade?

I'm really slow...

Arrggg...

So angry/tired...

WE MEETINGS ON FRIDAYS AFTERSCHOOL. LITMAG (!!!!) ON MONDAYS AT LUNCH.

Grrr...

SIgh...

I'm gonna go now...

You don't need to hear my anguish.

Hello.

Um. So from now on WE meetings are on Friday after school. (again)

Photography class is fun. I printed out a big picture. Yay.

Um.

Not much else.

I always have large posts in my mind before I sleep, but then when I get to 1st period, I forget them all.

Darn.

Whoops.

The Hightower picture is from a picture I took from Photobucket.

Yeah.

Give me a while to get used to it.

(Edit) If I wasn't clear, I took the picture myself.

Hightower

The night is brightest before the moon.

Wow. Sorry. Missed blogging for a few days.
I usually blog in the morning, so I've been a little busy.

Um.
Recap time.

FRIDAY

Um.

Excessive amounts of ums.

Typical day. Then headed to see The Wiz with Mr. Liu, Mr. Wong, Ms. So and Mr. Long.

Pretty fun. I like how the spellcheck feature in FireFox automatically thinks that Mr. Liu should be spelled Mr. Lu. Hahah. Sorry.

SATURDAY

Went to San Francisco. Went to see a SAT school, to try a practice test. Eager to get my results.
Ate dinner with relatives.

SUNDAY

Absolutely nothing.



Anyways...

I fixed my headphones.

Awesome.

Um.

In my mind, my post was going to be a lot more substantial.

There was something else, but I forgot it again.

Darn!

Yeah.

I realize that in my post, I switch from personal to impersonal a lot. Like switching from strawberry to chocolate every minute.

Hmmm....

I want ice creme.

Until we meet again,

Strangely addicted to your stories.

Sigh...

Um...

Got perfect on CAHSEE...

Not much else...

Life isn't very significant, but it is very important right now.

Um...

Uh...

Yeah...

Not much else, once again...

I hate my washing machine. It leaves stains on everything.

Um...

I think that during my brief period web logging, I have realized that my life is very mundane.

Hasta for now.

Your life rocks.

First of all, you have room and board. You have food. You have life. You don't know how good you have it. So stop being emotional, sad, and maniac depressive. You owe it to those who don't have your life to life your life for them. Be as happy as possible, and help as much as possible, maximize your life, for those others who can't.

So. It all breaks down in the end.

I've realized that I've become kind of a conglomerate of my friends. I'm like, just conforming. Which I hate.

Yeah...

So my new mission in life is to rediscover myself. In a totally non-cheesy or cliched sort of way.

P.S. I hate my washing machine...

P.P.S There was something else, but I forgot it again...

Sorry about it.

Sorry about the highlighting thing. My bad. It was meant as a joke, but as usual, I forgot to change it.

Um. I don't even remember what my last web log was about so...

Yeah.

Um.

State Forensics Debate Qualifiers was bad.

I hate a certain school very much. They need to stop being a horde of mindless zombies and get their own lives. I really thought we did better than we did. I thought we should have broke. But yeah...

Enough about me.

Talk to you later.

Love,

Break it up.

Um.

Yeah.

Not many new developments.

Life is at a standstill.

My blog pales in comparison with a few of my friend's blogs.

Makes me sad.

Rework

My life is far not what I wanted.

But don't get me wrong, I love my life.
The point is, I made too many mistakes too quickly.

You got to head them off at the pass sometimes.

But um...

I need to work harder in life.

Franz Ferdinand is one of the best bands, definitively.


"Walk Away" is so good. I love it.

Walk Away Lyrics by Franz Ferdinand

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
I love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
And I am cold
Yes I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Why don't you walk away?
No quake will split the ground
Why don't you walk away?
The sun won't swallow the sky
Why don't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye
I'm not cold
I am old
At least as old as you are
As you walk away

And as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood wind's a howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio 4 is static
As you walk away

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles
Hitler laughs
Churchill claps
Mao Tse-Tung
On the back

Sighted.

I did much better at the speech tournament than I thought.

I ranked 4 out of 5 three times, out of like, nine. Awesome.

Get that?

Um.
Sigh.
I have the feeling that this is deteriorating rapidly.

But I swear!
That I shall not have as much teenage angst as the normal teenager.

I hate Bueno.
Catch my drift?

Evil.
Evil.
Evil.

He is like, the f***ing Anti-Christ. It's like, (Stalin ^Hitler) + [(Mussolini- Carebear)/Franz Ferdinand]

Yesterday.

National Forensics League State Speech Qualifiers was horrible.

3 previously known facts were confirmed.

1. I suck at impromptu speech.
2. I suck at basketball.
3. I suck at life.

But aside from that. I had a greeeaaaat! time. It was more than good. It was great.

Thank you Mr. Kong. We owe you big time.

Mr. Kong took us out to dinner, and it was great and expensive.
Yeah.

So we owe him.

I fixed my Nintendo Dual Screen with a clarinet reed.

Um.

Yeah.

Sigh.

I need.

My earlier days.

My first web page/ blog thing.
Never got around to actually working with it.

http://www.geocities.com/silvernumbers/index.html

Ah. Made that things with Wordpad and my own two hands.

Enjoy.

That was when I still learned Hyper Text Markup Language.

I advise you learn it two.

Really emotistical.

Ok. I've become really emotistical.

I lost my pants.

Yeah.

Enough said.

Franz Ferdinand is actually really good.

MY INDIE MUSIC PICKS
(In no particular order)

Franz Ferdinand
Modest Mouse
Death Cab for Cutie
Clem Snide

More when things smooth over.

Sigh...

Today was the worst day so far in like this year. Gosh.

Laugh out loud.

Laugh at yourself, and the world looks on strangely.
-Me

Lets all take a step back and talk it out.

Ok...

For the record, I am not emo.

I have not expressed dissent with life. Or, not recently. I am emotistical about 1 hour a day, and that is usually when I blog. Also, I like the color black. :D

Um. Some facts about me.

My favorite emoticon is colon dee.

My favorite type of ice cream is the one that we didn't buy.

My favorite Hyper Text Markup Language is < blink>

Runner up is < marquee>

After that is < b>

I forgot how to make tables.

My least favorite emoticon is -.- . What is that supposed to mean?

My cussing is out of control and needs to stop.

My least favorite flavor of chords is diminished.

My favorite is a tie between minor and dominant.

Um...

Endlessly Searching

Sigh... I want to put down a lot of things...

But I really cannot...

Receding from the shores of society...



Um.
I am B, You are the main land, and C, A, E, are fragments of things.

Um. Stole that from Cliffnotes. Sorry. Please don't sue me.

What are you?

I'll post a poll for it.

(Edit: I found D. It looks like an island. Its got camouflage cousin. That cool dude.)

Um. Yeah.

Maybe full post later. Feeling tired/down. Time to use a phoenix down!

(Sparkles)

Alright.

Um.
I don't really want to waste your time.

So...

A riddle.

What has a long tail, a wheel, a light, two things to push, and is shaped like a egg?

























(Large blank so super scrolling won't ruin the riddle)





A mouse!

Um.
Well....
I was about to put a video of a real live mouse, but unfortunately, YouTube is blocked at school.

I was about to then put a picture of a real live mouse, and make a joke about live mouses and electronic mouses, which was the answer to the riddle, which was stupid, which failed, but I ended up rambling about mouses that fail and forgot to mention how I was about to put in a picture, but for some reason the computers at school are f***ed up and won't let me do that.
But it's all good.

Because touchdown will bring me around again to find, I'm not the man they think I am at home, Oh NO! I'm a ROCKET MAN!

And Eagerly anticipating the sweet sorrows of life.

Glory, Glory, Hallelujah.

His Truth is Marching On.

I'm gonna learn some day.

AHhhhhh. BALE OUT!!!!
NO! NO! F*** NO!

Laph owt lowd.

Um.
National Forensics qualifiers was terrible.

We fail...

Not much else.

Tired.

Atrocious misspellings for the win.

Later for now.

I challenge you again.

Can you describe your life in music? After all, music is more that just wind, notes on a page, or sound. Music is the story of lives, people who lived and died in glory, vanity, and love. Music is the sum of the total parts of every small bit of life you have experienced, whether it has been good or bad. It is the culmination of past, present, and future.

So I want you to show me your past, present, and future in music.

Mine would be-

PAST
Stroller Town- Jonathan Coulton
I Feel Fantastic- Jonathan Coulton
Jupiter- Gustav Holst
I'm Having a Party- Jonathan Coulton
All Star- Smash Mouth

Present

Lemon Tree- Peter, Paul, and Mary
Lemon Tree- Fool's Garden
Big Bad World One- Jonathan Coulton
Live and Let Die- Paul McCartney
Does Anyone Really Know What Time It Is?- Chicago
Still Alive- Jonathan Coulton

Future

I Will Possess Your Heart- Death Cab for Cutie
I'll Follow You Into The Dark- Death Cab for Cutie
Rocket Man- Elton John
Skullcrusher Mountain- Jonathan Coulton
The Future Soon- Jonathan Coulton
Re: Your Brains- Jonathan Coulton
When I'm 64- Beatles
As- Stevie Wonder

You guys probably don't know most of these songs. But yeah.
The lyrics or title don't necessarily have to fit your life. If you just feel that it fits, then it fits.
Yeah.

I challenge you.

I challenge all of you to ask yourselves the question, "Why?".

You'll be surprised at the results.

My newspaper

MY NEWS

HEADLINES

-Economy

Recession hits my mood.

Consumers shocking surprised and unprepared.

"I didn't know that after a quick upmarket, we would be hit so badly." says one.

"This isn't as bad as before, but it definitely hurts. We need a stimulus." says an unknown official.

Government promises change, but others think that this time is the last recession, as there is evidence that recovery will not be possible.

-Weather

Cloudy forever. Hail too.

-The War

The Spartans win unexpectedly, but with hidden casualties. Dignity survived intact, but the opposing enemy loses respect for violating a treaty.

-Education

Still high, but in a downward spiral.

"Needs improvement"

-Poll

Not encouraging.

-Diplomacy

Good.

-Fashion

When has there been any?

-Comics

Alrighty

I've been feeling good for the last few days, so I'm bracing for the impact of the recession.
It's like surviving the artic winter with a match.
But I've been on sunshine the last few days.
Yeah.

I'll add a picture or two of stuff later

Also, STARCRAFT II!!!!!!
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so psyched....when it comes out....in a long time.
I made a Terran theme for my phone, and a Zerg theme too.

Don't mess with my Starcraft.

I will Zergling rush you before you get your Barracks up.

Alright.

Or Marine or Zealot rush.

What ever.

It's gonna be AWESOME.

WE

WE is meeting Tuesday At Lunch.
WE are working on banners.
Regular updates later.
Come Join in on the Fun!
Save your children from burning to death!

Needs to work on debate

Friday was an awesome day.
Yeah.
Little homework.
Moderately good AP Bio grade.
Had fun with friends.
Our school won in basket ball.

Bad things.
My adapter for my headphones for my cell phone broke and it only works on one side.
And my headphones only work on one side.
The bad thing is, they are on the same side.
So 1-.5-.5=o

Sad.

...

Scene 1
(English class, clock on wall moving at a glacial pace)
(Test, I'm finished)
(Looking at watch)
(Thinking to myself)
Hey. That test was easy. Spelled E-Z. Hahaha. Oh dear. Ooo. Lets play with my watch.
Hmmm. Power conservation. Watch automatically turns off after 12, 6,2,1, hours or never. Hmm.
I should probably put it on one.
But wait.
What if someone kidnaps me and straps me to the ground?
(Worried look on face)
Hmm. Troublesome. Well, I do want to conserve battery. Lets put it on twelve, but hmmm.
Seems like a lot of wasted battery.
Well, even if someone straps me to a hard, dirty concrete floor, I would need the time.
(Here, I should mention if you push any button, it turns on again)
I should check if I can push a button without my other hand.
(Looks like a idiot)
(Looks like a retard)
(Softly swears and grunts in desperation)
Darn. I can't.
Hmmm....
What if I push it against the ground?
(Tries to push a button with the combination of my hand and my desk)
(Banging sound)
(Teacher and students look at me awkwardly)
(Silence)
Oops.
>.<
Um.
Hmm.
Well...
What if I put it on six or twelve.
Well, that's pointless.
Hmm.
Very pressing issue.

This goes on and on, but eventually, I settled for saving power over the risk of being kidnapped.

Yeah.

Next time, I'll put up some socially deviant things.

He, he, he.

Farwell and adieu!
