The Candle

As the room runs black the candle flickers to life. Life flailing involuntarily as the wick burns lower and the flame rises higher. Moving closer to the flame, the cold room grows warm. A finger through the flame, flows without a mark but a hand over the flame is fiery enough to burn. A window opens and a cold wind blows. The candle dances, in a struggle to survive. Alas, the breeze was too strong. The light fades night and the warmth is dominated by the freeze.

9/11

If you're any of the following don't read this:

1. You still feel terrible about 9/11

2. You don't like math

3. You don't have a calculator

4. Are emo and don't want to laugh (assuming the first three don't apply)

I can make 9/11 spell hahahahahahaha. First of all, what's nine divided by eleven? .818181818181 right? Now we since "A" is the first letter of the alphabet and "H" is the eighth letter just plug them in. It's .HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA infinitely so 9/11 = .HAHAHAHA.

There you have it my proof. I hope you enjoyed it. 

Fanime

As most people know, there was a convention down town in San Jose called Fanime. It's a convention of anime and cartoons that people like. I didn't go myself, but I heard it was really cool. There were people dressed in costumes and the makers of popular anime were signing autographs it was really fun. I think next year I will go. 

Metal

People usually classify the people who listen to metal as very troubled people. My question is why? I really like metal and I don't have a two foot long mohawk or a zillion rings all over my body, I'm perfectly normal looking. For most of our population rap and hip hop is the popular music, so I can understand why we're stereotyped; we're a minority I get it, but like you don't say think black people or asians look weird don't treat us people who enjoy metal music like that. 

Sleepy

Well, now I'm freaking exhausted. I just got finished cleansing the Black Temple of all the undead and demons that were afflicting it with a terrible epidemic that would kill all of the world of Azeroth. Now since I have the Blade of Armageddon I'm going to sleep so I can use it much better next time I play. Peace out all. 

11:11

Yay! It's almost 11:11 as I'm writing this. The importance of 11:11 is that there's a little myth that you can make a wish and it will come true. It's just a little fun thing you can do twice a day when you have nothing better to do. Well, I'm gonna finish this at about 11:09 so I'm gonna wait till 11:11 to post it.  Have fun wishing!

Audio Surf

There's a game called Audio Surf and it's a puzzle racing music adapter game. Basically, it takes a song you want to listen to, gives you a car, and puts tons of obstacles in your path depending on the beat of the song. The amount, consistency, and difficulty of the drops depends entirely on the song. The best part of this is, it can be ANY song you want. It literally places everything on the fly as the song plays, it's really awesome. 

Racing

Haha, just kidding I have one more idea for this last blog. I'm going to write about racing. Racing is a very fun concept, it usually involves being faster than others trying to do that same thing. In games such a Mario Kart, racing makes a great group activity as well as a fun solo activity. It's always a joy when you beat everyone and get to taunt them with your victory. Ta taa for now. 

Idealess

Right now, I've been struck idealess for my next blog, I'm only writing about being idealess because, it's a topic I can write about. All I have to say is that, when you have to come up with ideas for a grade and you're lacking in many of them, it becomes problematic. 

Frustration

In my playing a lot of video games, there are a lot of things that frustrate me; levels that are unbeatable, monsters that are not killable. And in multiplayer games there are the punks that just come and kill you while you have no life.

Good and Evil

Okay, time for my last blog of the week. It's about the concept of Good Vs. Evil. First of all I'd like to ask you, what is 'Good' and what is 'Evil'? Good is generically thought of as being: nice, heroic, courageous, giving, and honest; where evil is generally the opposite. My question is,"Is it just you?" See, that's us looking at the conflict from the "Good" side, say we were looking at it from an "Evil" side. Wouldn't the "bad" things we do be "good"? This whole concept of good versus evil is really all about your perspective on the way things happen, all about who the protagonist is. 

Tetris

Hello there all! I'm here to talk about my third favorite game in the universe TETRIS!!! Tetris is a very addicting game that once you start, you really can't stop. It's just that amazing. In Tetris, as you may or may not know, you take blocks known as 'Minos' and you attempt to form lines with them, for each line or combination of lines you get a set amount of points. These points allow you to have competitions with your friends and such to see who is the best. 

Swine Flu

Greetings my fellow blog slaves! This blog, as it states in the title is about the new epidemic Swine Flu. Now, I'd like to start off with saying that the media sucks. They've taken a simple new mutation of the flu and made it an epidemic. While Swine Flu has reportedly killed people, so has the Flu. The flu is really only lethal if other illnesses are allowed to stack on top of it. Second, I'd like to say, I really wouldn't worry about it too much. It IS a flu, it will go away Swine Flu by itself WILL NOT kill you. 

Ninjas

Well, the topic of the ninja. It was bound to come up eventually. The ultimate warrior of stealth, combat and assassination. I don't care what Deadliest Warrior says, ninjas in real life would have owned the Spartans. What irks me is that that program really didn't add in for the blindness and movement impairing effects the ninja would've put on him. Anyways, ninjas are the bomb and that's all there really is to it. 

Moviebook Haters

The friend I mentioned in my last blog was also arguing with me about how the book is better than the movie. When I asked him why he said,"The movie lacks scenes and events that the book has as well as you can hear the thoughts and feelings of the characters in the book." My response to that is,"Duh!" Of course you can't hear the thoughts of characters unless the director specifically put those thoughts in. The scenes that the movies lacks are usually necessary cuts so the movie can go at a "movie pace" instead of a "book pace" if the movie were to include every piece of dialog, thoughts, and events that the book had it would be a very long movie. Besides the point, if you wanted to know every last detail about the story, go ahead read the book. Movies aren't supposed to be accurate, they're supposed to be exaggerated and appealing to the eyes and ears. Some movies don't accomplish either, I get that, but if you want to read the book read the book, but leave the people that like watching the movies alone. 

Stacking

When you have a stack of something, what comes to mind is usually a long pile of objects placed in a directly vertical fashion, which often resembles some sort of tower. I was having a ridiculous argument with a friend of mine who continued to believe that a stack (of blocks we'll say) can be organized in a horizontal fashion creating a horizontal stack. I don't believe this is true because when things are "stacked" horizontally it's usually just to start another vertical stack. 

Breaktime

Okay, I've decided to take a short break from my blog hating blogs. I wish to talk about my vacation to Magic Mountain and how amazing that was. First of all, Magic Mountain is amazing, period. Next, is Magic Mountain also has many fun roller coasters like the newest one, X-2, and Ninja. One of the coasters that I heard about a lot was Superman Escapes, I heard that was supposed to be an amazing ride, but I didn't like it all that much, you speed out of the room went up, came back, you're done. There weren't any loops or corkscrews it was just a straight ride. Overall I had a really good time at the park, I would really like to go again. 

Blogpires

After doing these blogs of my complaining about doing blogs, I could swear there was a dark shadow running around my house. I have given these shadows the name of Blogpires, is a mixture of bloggers and vampires. I'm worried that if I don't stop complaining that these creatures will attack me and make me, god forbid, enjoy them. Don't worry though, I hate these so much that I've prepared myself with silver stakes and garlic stuff, so I'm good. I will destroy these creatures of the blogs even if it kills me. :)

Blogs

Well, here I am again, writing more blogs for the sake of my grade. That's all that matters really, that my grade, quite literally, depends on these blogs. These ones aren't mandatory, however. "Why am I doing them then," you ask? I'm doing them for the extra credit that will help in my grade going up! Woot! I'm loving it, Ba-da-ba-ba-baa. Just in case you're wondering, I really hate blogging. 

Blogging (still going)

And for my last blog for the week MORE RANTING!!! How exciting! Me still ranting on how much blogging sucks. Over the course of this year I've done about forty blogs (including the two I just wrote). Each blog takes about 5-10 minutes multiply that by forty (or more for you people that actually did ALL of these, I admire those of you that did) and you get about 200-400 minutes (3 1/3- 6 2/3 hours). That's a lot of time in my opinion. All that time wasted for this "art" of blogging. A time where we can express ourselves on topics that we have trouble finding three times a week. :P

Blogging (cont.)

I'm still going to blog about blogging, no matter how annoying it gets I'm still going to blog about how much I don't like blogging. I really don't like it in case I haven't made it clear enough. In my opinion it's a HUGE waste of time and effort trying to think of three ideas a week just to write a paragraph of empty thought about subject matter(s) that are running short in supply. To be honest I have run out of ideas myself which is why I've just about given up on this. 

Blogging

I've just about had it. I really need to express this and as the title dictates this is about this whole blogging thing. The truth is, blogging sucks. I hate it. You log on to this web site and you write about some sort idea that you've experienced and frankly for a time I stopped caring and stopped doing these and my grade suffered, quite a bit. I have just recently come to the recognition that this is blogging, I'm expressing an idea "I Hate Blogging" and it's longer than a few words. So here me world I really hate blogging.

Sickness

Being sick is a very very annoying state. You feel like garbage and your doing the most annoying habits like sniffling and coughing. I've been sick for pretty much all week and it's just a very unpleasant experience because not only do you feel poorly you miss quite a bit of school work. So my advice to you is don't get sick and if that fails drink lots of soup and stay in bed. 

God and the Big Bang

Doing my research project, I found many amazingly good sources of information on the Big Bang and on one of these sources I found an amusing and very simplified way to described the beginning of the universe. 

In the beginning, before the divine and impenetrable 10^-43 (ten the negative forty-third power) seconds, God was stuck in Nirvana in an ocean of qunatic vacuity. He was hihtly bored with so much luminous perfection . From wrath, he exploded with rage and with his superforce created the Universe.

Then, preaching of Grand Unification, he decided to make some noise with a supersonic big bang which he called Inflation. The Universe found itself with a trinity of divine forces governing a virtual ocean of phantom particles.

Next, weary of so much photonic immaturiality, God save the quarks...and the antiquarks! A titanic combat ensued between the divine quarks with their unlucky likenesses, the antiquarks.

Then God rendered the Universe more humble by creating the modest Leptons. He also added a humble and weak force to three others beset with a sin of pride.

To the aid of the four divine forces, the saintly quarks vanquished the satanic antiquarks. They could then unite in stronger hadronic trinities. 

Then the energetic tension of combat slowly dilated in a infinite expansion. The hadronic trinities united as prophets: of the loyal nuclei baptized "Hydrogen" and "Helium".

Finally, nuclei united with the beautiful Electrons (of the lepton family) forming the first atoms. 

I though this was very humorous and I hope you at least didn't think this was a waste of time. :P

Epic

When something is epic it means it's AMAZING! So when you say that flip was epic, you're saying the flip was cool (times forty-seven though). Epic does NOT mean any of the following: Lame, awkward, stupid, or disgusting. Epic, while a slang word, should at least be used properly at all times, because it's epic. 

P.S. You're all epic if you think I'm right.

P.S.S. If you don't think I'm right, just go away....forever.

Boom!

I like this word "boom". It can be used in several different situations: situations like describing an actual explosion, making something seem more exciting (for example: And then BOOM! There was a monster.) and my favorite using for no BOOM reason what-so-ever BOOM! 

Chilled

On Friday there was a swim meet against James Lick (we won). There were a few things I really really hated about it though. First was the overly sunny weather, the sun not only gives you sun-burns, but it drains your energy to swim. Second was that it was windy, when it's windy and you get out of the water, you are over come with extreme cold, when it's actually pretty warm out. Lastly, I lost time on my fastest stroke, that made me really sad. :(

Instant Gratification

You know what the problem about life at this age is? That you (or at least I) need everything to happen instantly. It really sucks to lack the virtue of patience. I of all people would know, here I am doing something important (writing essays) and I'm bored out of my mind; so much that I want to just stop and do something else. With all the possible things I could be doing right now, I have to write essays. While things like video games, TV or walking down to a friends house or something is much more fun some things, like these essays, need to be done. It sucks that this "instant gratification" has me wrapped around it like a robe because a lot of things (my grades for one) would be so much better right now if it didn't have this power over me. I swear, it's like the devil guy on your left shoulder. Take it from me when I say,"Listen to the angel guy on your right shoulder, it's too late for me." 

Essays

Writing that last blog gave me ideas about this one and the one to come, so listen up!!! Essays when you're writing for school are supposed to be very methodical: Topic sentence, point, explanation, point, explanation, point, explanation, conclusion; that's all it is. Writing essays for say a collage application is much much different. A collage application essay is more like talking about your life to them: who you are, what you do, why you do it. It's not just sentences you write to make a point, it's like you're writing a blog like this, you're trying to actually appeal to a reader as apposed to appealing a type of reader. 

Boredom

Well, here I am, home on a saturday afternoon writing essays to get into a program that I'm more than likely not getting into. The only thing that comes to my mind right now is,"Wow, I'm really REALLY bored right now." I can barely focus my thoughts enough to write a single sentence for my essay. Something really needs to be done about my short attention span. 

Talking

When you're talking about someone there are mainly two ways to talk about them, nicely and not-so-nicely. When you're talking about someone nicely, it's usually complimenting them on something they did well or interestingly. Not-so-nice speak on the other hand is insulting them on things the didn't do well or just didn't do it at all. What I want to make clear is that, trash talk sucks, it really does, so when you're talking about someone, talk about them nicely or at least not talk about them at all. 

Hacking

Well, today my cousins accounts on EVERYTHING got hacked today. This is a result to having the same password, same username, same everything for well, everything. The hackers apparently just locked her out by changing all of her information and she's now unable to get it back. I'm very thankful that I have such an amazingly smart father who tells me how to avoid this kind of crap and teaches me ways that make this kind of stuff easier to mitigate. So, for all of you out there reading this, make sure you're able to cycle your user names/screen names, have about three different passwords you can use (or be able to use three variations of the same one), and have a good virus protections software. 

*First Love

It was dark, we were outside, she stood in front of me looking at the playground floor. I took hold of her hand and she looks up at me, a smile spreads across her face. We lean in and our lips touch, she wraps her arms around me and I do the same. Then my head hits the wooden desk because I had fallen asleep listening to Ms. Conners drone about covalent bonding between atoms. I put my head down and i ran the dream through my head, I was over thinking like I always do. I had only been talking to her for a few weeks, through programs and websites like AOL Instant Messenger and Mibba. We commented back and forth on each others' literary works over Mibba and chatted about everyday life over AIM, but one thing was clear to me; I really liked her. I knew her in middle school through Beth, whom I knew through Zach, but I had not really talked to her, hadn't really seen what's on the inside and now that I have I have discovered that we are extremely compatible. We liked many of the same things, we agreed on ideas, and we often shared the same point of view on many topics. With all of this internet speak I really longed to see her in person and that weekend was my chance, it was her and Christine's Youth Group's Halloween Party. Christine had invited me to this event, telling me I could show off my nerd-like skills at games like Guitar Hero, but that was not the reason I agreed to go. After a long twenty-seven hour period of boredom, it was time for the party. Since it was a costume party and I had no real costume, I grabbed the mask my Uncle gave me from BlizzCon and jumped into the car. The whole car ride there was me daydreaming about possible scenarios that could have happened. After a seven minute drive, I had finally arrived at the party. Christine was there to greet me and so were my friends Patrick and Keegan. We went inside to play some games and after a few minutes I heard Christine yell,"Chanelle!" My heart stopped, we all got up to greet her and she replied in kind and with an added hug. Then we redirected our group to the nearby preschool playground, I immediately thought of my dream in Chemistry and followed. I noticed there were swings in the playground so I started running for one, Patrick closely behind, I managed to get one and Patrick the other, but Chanelle who was following us, playfully pouted because she didn't get a swing. I offered for her to sit on my lap and to my surprise she agreed. After she sat down I began swinging, the scent of her hair entranced me. It entranced me so much that I didn't even realize that Patrick had gotten behind me and he then kicked me as I came back. While it wasn't a hard kick I still grabbed Chanelle by the waist so my imbalence didn't knock her off, then I called Patrick a moron for kicking me while I was swinging. Later that night, due to a lack of self control I took Chanelle privately back to the playground like in my dream. I told her I wanted to ask her something, so she followed. I led her to the swings and grabbed her by the hands, my knees were trembling, but I forced them to stand strong. I opened my mouth and let the words of matrimony slip through and I stood there for the longest three seconds of my life, imagining every possible answer and I got the best one, yes.
