'Tis the Season

So Christmas is Tuesday.

Wow.

I have some serious shopping to get done. My mom comes home tomorrow. And Christmas is Tuesday.

I wish I were a great blogger in the political realm, in so that I could apply for media credentials to the 2008 GOP Convention. Yeah, that would be pretty cool right?

I'm still sick.

And I only did this out of pure boredom. Not like anyone is reading it anyhow.
That, and I like to play with Firefox's add-ons every now and then.

Death of a Hiatus

Just thought I'd post to the old-school personal blog to test out a new add-on for Firefox called ScribeFire. It's a blogging app that allows me nearly one-click publishing. This may come in handy as I've thought about a new blog for less in depth political thoughts. Anyhow, I suppose I'll have to make a resurgence in writing here.

P.S. I may be moving to WordPress.com.

When will I learn?

I think I should purge this blog of all the old entries. And I need a return to writing on a more frequent basis. I think I use this blog, more than anything else, as an alternate memory.

The past few days have consisted of certain events, hardly extraordinary, that have greater drawn my attention to my current state. It's not to say that my focus has been entirely averted from cardinal thoughts, but to say that it has been given bifocals.

At this point most would shake their heads in discontent at my past efforts (I'm not so sure I should honor my actions as 'efforts') and say that I should have done better. However I can name only a small number who spoke out of benevolence and not of disdain. The latter is turning me into a sort of misanthrope.

Last night I read a short essay by George Orwell entitled "Why I Write" (from a collection of essays of the same title). To this day I have never read a collection of words I found to be more veritable and more consistent with any one of my emotions. It simply epitomizes "I feel the exact same way!"

I HATE moving

So now that we've got most of everything moved, I'm staying at the new location, which is actually the old location...ok that's going to get confusing. We moved back in with my grandma and two cousins. Out here I get no reception on my cell phone, and DSL isn't available, at least not through Verizon. So, I'm stuck with dial-up, and since we don't have everything organized just yet, I'm not even going to bother getting on, because I'd have to get on in the kitchen or somewhere in that general location, and I'd have the chord running through people's way and what not, so it's a lot easier to only get on when I need to do something. That's why I'm writing this is WordPad, and I'll get online and put it on Blogger when I'm done.

Tonight hasn't been the greatest. The beginning of the day was pretty boring, I slept pretty late, then got up and went to my grandparents where I was going to eat dinner with them but my grandma cooked something I didn't like, so I settled for something else. I came home because I had to move stuff, then my mother and I got into an arguement blah blah I'm not going there. Anyways, everything's pretty settled now and I'm sitting on the couch, pretty mellowed out now. By the way, today's my best friend's birthday, so happy birthday to Alex Guzman!

Friday I didn't go to school because I woke up with a sore throat, and it being an odd day I wasn't about to push myself to get up and go to school being the slightest bit sick. Friday night Alex and I went to the Kickers game. It was a semi-final against Rochester Raging Rhinos (what a horrible name). Kickers won 3-1 (Rochester getting the 1 from an own goal off a nasty deflection). The Kickers winning was great by itself, but the atmosphere was awesome! There were more people there than on a regular season game, and they all got into more so than the regular season crowd. Kickers played Rochester earlier tonight in the second leg of the semi-final and tied 1-1. I listened to the last part of the game on an online broadcast I found somewhere, and it seemed like it was quite a game, with there being a few out of control moments. Cephas got a direct red sometime in the game. I really wish I could've watched it because it sounded like a lot of fun to watch. The game ended in a 1-1 draw, but kickers advance to the Final on a 4-2 aggregate. I forgot who won the other semi-final match between Seattle and Montreal. Unfortunately the winner of the Seattle/Montreal game will host. I would have absolutely loved to have the final held here in Richmond.

After the game Friday, Alex dropped me off at the theater and I watched Corpse Bride, which was a pretty good movie. Saturday I was supposed to have a game against Kickers but once again there was conflict between the VSLI schedule and the state cup dates (for Kickers, we've been knocked out already). So the game has been cancelled and is yet to be rescheduled. We went to Castaway's where Scott and Jon played, along with some guy who liked The Cure a lot. That was really fun, until I dropped Scott's guitar because the strap wasn't fully attatched. We sat outside and played the acoustic version of Taking Back Sunday's "Cute Without The E" as well as an improvised acoustic version of Alexisonfire's "Waterwings" (which with a little tweeking could be a really good acousic).

I'm actually in a hurry to get to school tomorrow. It's an even day so that means I have Computer Maintenance class first thing tomorrow, and that's the best class I've ever had, I'm pretty sure. I'm running out of things to type so I'm going to go connect and drop this off on my blog, as well as check my myspace. Not being able to check myspace every 10 seconds is getting to me, but I'll survive...maybe.

I'm fat

The title was a joke. I surprise myself by actually being slightly humorous tonight. I haven't been in the greatest of moods lately. I won't elaborate for the sake of thinking about it more.

Oh, B. B. King is performing on Jay Leno, I must go watch this...you have to love that guy. Funny man, great musician...

I missed almost the entire day of school today (yesterday to be technical). I decided I really didn't need to miss Geometry again so I went in at about 1:30. I really hate my odd days and it takes so much pushing myself to get up out of the bed and go. I can't express in words my hate for my odd days. I'm kicking myself now for failing those classes and putting myself with a bunch of sophomores.

Saturday I spent the day with my half-sister Moriah. We went to Commonwealth 20 and watched The Brothers Grimm, which was actually a pretty good movie. After the movie she was scheduled to go home but plans changed and she had to be home at 11, so we went to Blockbuster and got Van Helsing, which was another good movie. She ended up staying at my uncles, and of course I stayed too. We got up early sunday and ate breakfast, she went home, and so did I. I got my stuff ready for the game and off I went to Courthouse Park, to take on Richmond Kickers Central. Before the game coach told us that he had watched this team play Chesterfield the day before, and they were losing 5-1 at about halftime. Well, I'm not entirely sure where he got that because I talked to Cordell today and he told me they lost. Well, we lost too. I'm not sure of the score, I think it was 5-0, which would be the same score they put up against Chesterfield. Hopefully I'll be switched by this weekend, but I'm not sure because I'm having the hardest time getting in touch with the right people at Chesterfield United.

My mom is almost completely moved out. I, on the other hand, have yet to move any of my stuff. That's why my mom is staying at my grandma's and I'm still here. I didn't want to sleep there, on the couch, with none of my things, and have to get up like that in the morning. Hopefully I'll get to stay here a few more days, but my mom wants me to stay there tomorrow. I'm hating moving almost as much as I hate my odd day classes (I really, really can't stand those classes). There are several things that I hate about it, one of the biggest things being that I won't be able to get DSL out there. It wouldn't be so bad if I weren't used to it, but going back to dial-up after getting used to something this fast is not going to be easy at all. I don't even think the phone lines out there are going to allow me to get the best out of 56k. My cell phone can't pick up a signal out there either. The list of bad things about moving goes on and on forever. That's not going to make the school year any better at all. Getting my license will help some, but then I'll have to take stupid to school every day. I guess that won't bother me too bad if I can come home and go places and hang out with people.

Well, it's almost 1 so I really need to get some sleep. I havn't found a new background for this blog yet, but hopefully soon.

Good Mourning

I just finished up some custimizations to both blogs. I made this one a little more interesting, with the Coheed and Cambria background. I just hate how it doesn't fit, because it's a desktop background and it's too big, the 800x600 was too small. I also put in a binary background for my Computer Maintenance blog. I thought it fit appropriately.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Today wasn't so great at all, hence I went home early. I missed Geometry for the second time in a row, having only been in the class once. I left early last time we had odd classes too. I absolutely hate my odd days, but there's only one more this week, then three next week.

As much as I'd like this to be an interesting entry, it's past 1am. So I'm going to grab something to drink or whatnot then hit the bed.

Alone again

I love wireless. I'm sitting downstairs, very very tired, but I'm hungry, and I need to clean my room and wash clothes. I think I'll skip the cleaning and washing, and stick with eating then going to bed.

I really, really need a girl. I sit around by myself all the time. Being alone absolutely blows. But that's something I'm not going to go hunting for, because that's not how it works.

Speaking of being alone all the time, my mom just called and said she's staying at Scott's. Whatever, I'm used to being my only company.

I got bored today and took some more pictures. I kept only one.

Goodbye State Cup

Well, this morning we lost to Williamsburg Wizards by a score that I don't remember, but it was bad. They weren't nearly as good as I thought they were going to be. These VCCL teams are disappointing me. So, that does it for us for the state cup. I may be playing with Chesterfield by next weekend, I just have to make a few calls.

School sucks, but that's nothing new. At least Monday will be a good day because, once again, my even days are my good days. Computer Maintenance (oh how I love that class), English, WHII, and ACIS.

My computer is already a massive musical library, but I can't decide if I want to put all of my CD's onto my computer. Anyone want to help me decide?

I'm joining a band with a couple of my friends who love music and are awesome people. This could be amazing.

Unearth is an amazing band and Zombie Autopilot is one of the greatest songs with the coolest guitar workings.

I need a girl...

I just felt like posting a quick update since I probably won't be home much today. I may post another later. I'm kind of getting attatched to blogger since we have to do it for class. It's second to myspace now.
