Blogging? (36/90)

Hey y'all. Here's blog post number 36. I can't believe I've made it this far. I have to admit, there have been times where I've wanted to skip a day in writing in this blog. I don't always have the time to write meaningful stories concerning my thoughts about the little things that interest me (I know, I'm such a dork), or about the stuff that happened during my day. But I must keep doing this everyday until I reach 90. I want to become a better writer and the only way that is going to happen is if I write something everyday.

I've thought about continuing my blog after I've made the 90 posts, but I feel that if I do, I'd want to have a theme to it rather than just writing about whatever everyday. Hmm... what WILL my theme be? It's only post number 36 and I'm already wondering about the changes I'm going to make in 44 days. Maybe I shouldn't wait until the 91st day. Maybe I should pick a theme and stick to it as long as I can while still going for the 90 in 90.

What do you guys think? Would you like me to incorporate a different theme into this blog? Or should I keep it about my daily personal thoughts? (I'm assuming some of you care)

Thanks for reading, I know there's like 5 of you readers out there :)

Coffee and Cokie (35/90)

So I think I may have overdosed on coffee yesterday. I'm not one to drink coffee, but I thought I'd try it every once in a while so that I could get shit done. Turns out, I did get shit done. Much more than I bargained for, but that's fine by me. I got a head start on tomorrow's homework as well as completed something that I've been meaning to work on since Spring Break. W00t!

Nothing really special happened besides getting work done today so you'll get no interesting tales of my day........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Apparently, punk rock legend, Fat Mike has been getting much attention lately. It seems that he played a show while dressed up as a clown that goes by the name of Cokie the clown (from an EP recorded several months ago). During the show, he recounted several graphic and disturbing stories about his life, and played several songs both previously released and unreleased. He also tricked several members of the audience into drinking his urine mixed with tequila, before showing them a video of himself filling the bottle with urine which shocked many people in the audience. Because of his actions that day, Fat Mike is now banned from a venue in Texas.

I'm not particularly a fan of NOFX, but I do listen to some of their music. While I do respect the fact  that they are one of the most profitable independent, stay out of major record labels bands out there, I do think that their music along with their actions are very immature and very offensive, and not in a good way most of the time. 

If for some reason you are interested in seeing the music video for the song called "Cokie the Clown" then here's a link: http://bit.ly/3Fxm5L

I'm gonna stay young until I die! (34/90)

"The only thing more overrated than childbirth is the joy of owning your own business." --MT Cup

I stopped by the MT cup today to grab a vanilla mocha. I felt like I needed something to keep me alive as I planned to get a lot of homework done. Now I have a headache for some reason and don't really feel like doing my homework right now T__T.

Some time ago, I remember that I had this saying, "If you don't use your energy for positively, your energy will turn into negative energy." I think that's what's happening right here. I'm spending way too much time thinking over the situation and thinking ways in which I will mess up or ways in which would be really awesome. But with all of this thinking, I'm not getting anything done. Maybe I have something that's bothering me, something deep inside of me that's afraid to let me go, something that does not want me to progress.

Maybe it's something completely different. My mom once said that I try to do too many things at once. That the stress of trying to get too many things at once is the reason why I get all of these headaches. She says that I'm too ambitious and that I should slow down and live a simpler life. I don't want that, mom. I've spent way too long being locked up and now that I'm free to do whatever I want, I want to make sure that I achieve as much as possible before I die.

So now, I must make this decision. To turn away from all of these horrible thoughts and to keep a positive lifestyle going. I don't care what anyone says about me anymore. I'm not letting anything slow me down. I'm gonna keep fighting for my own goals.

Playing with legos may become some sort of hobby for me (33/90)

Well, I have started another challenge for myself. This challenge calls me to spend at least half an hour of at least 5 days out of the week building something with legos. The purpose for this challenge is to help me get a better sense as to how lego pieces are used. I need this skill to help me make models as examples for my website. In order for me to get people to come to my website and contribute on the site, I have to start showing examples to pave the way for those who don't know what they are doing (which I assume will be 95% of the people who check the site out). 

I also may as well make some more videos to show and tell some creations and to let people know what I'll be looking for when people start submitting their own creations.

I know I'm being kinda vague as to the actual purpose of my site here, but I'd rather not share much information until I "officially" get the site up and running.

And now for something a little different... or so it seems (32/90)

Highlights of my day include the following:

Getting my ass out of bed

Waiting outside the Atrium

Work

Waiting for Shaun 

Hanging out at a meeting

Playing computer games

Coming home at around 2am

Trust me, the highlights of my day are better than they sound.

Ass getting out of bed. I didn't want to get up today, actually. I wanted to stay asleep and continue dreaming that peaceful dream. But I didn't. Somewhere along the way, I said "You know what? Fuck that." And then got up. This may not seem very impressive to you, but I seriously thought I was going to pass out during the day if I did not get at least 6 hours of sleep.

Waiting outside the Atrium for a shuttle bus turned out to be a good idea for me. Even though I'm playing Humans versus Zombies and you shouldn't give your location away to zombies if you're human, I didn't care. You may almost call it awesome, but I didn't see a single zombie while I happened to be waiting. What I did see (for the first time in months), is my old roommate, Bob. I actually meant to visit him the other day because someone had advised me to, along with other visits I should make :/  Although we only said like 1 sentence to each other, I'm going to count that as a visit seeing as I'll probably never truly hang out with him again. I know it's weird saying that, but I just see way too many barriers between us.

Work. How can I describe how awesome it was? I really can't. Let's just say martial arts, random dancing, a pogo stick, and a FFFFFFFFF moment was involved. Pretty strange considering that I worked a place that makes italian food, huh?

Waiting for Shaun. T___T Waiting for Shaun. This is a highlight only because this delay got me out of being embarrassed because I missed a meeting where someone was going to expose her fanfiction which apparently involved me being gay with a friend of mine. Yuck. What the hell do girls think of me? Seriously, I just don't get it sometimes.

Hanging out and playing computer games go in the same boat. At least for today they did. Today was the first day the Student Center's Gaming lab was open. The Gaming lab is basically like a computer lab, but the computers there are meant for people to play PC games on them. The lab is open every Friday and Saturday from 5pm to 2am. Two words come to mind when describing the gaming lab: LAN party!

And that's just what we did....

Dude. Good shit is happening. (31/90)

I read two awesome articles today. Fortunately for me, one of them mostly centered around a video which was easy on the eyes. I've been reading and staying up too late this whole week so my eyes have been really exhausted making it really hard for me to focus during the day. But whatever. Let's get cracking!

First up, we have the Wizard's trailer from the upcoming game by Blizzard called Diablo 3. Oh my goddess! A couple of friends and I have been looking forward to this game for a while now. I remember those real "nerdy" Tuesdays we used to have last year where everyone would gather around with their laptops. I also remember how we used to annoy Eric's roommate because we'd start shouting random stuff like "Pin him down while I cast my spells!" or "Healer! Where the hell are you!" at like around midnight. Ah, good times. Well anyways, back to the trailer. May I say that the wizard in that game looks insanely ridiculously awesome!? The trailer showed her casting spells left and right and blowing away all sorts of surrounding enemies. She looks like a power house.... just like in Diablo 2. Hmm. I guess nothing much has changed after all. Oh well, I know who'll be getting all of the mana potions now. [insert smiley face]

And lastly, we have the preview I read to the upcoming sequel of one of the greatest Sonic games to have ever been created: Sonic 3 & Knuckles (fuck yeah, expansion). Sonic 4 is what they are called the upcoming game and it's supposed to feature the old gameplay style of Sonic the Hedgehog. So now new Sonic fans will get to see the true glory that is 2D sidescrolling, fast paced, sega genesis gameplay, or at least I hope so. I guess they are also returning to old cliche of using (something tropical) hill zone as the first zone in the game, but eh, I'm not complaining. I sometimes shout "Green Hill Zone Act1!" when starting a new Sonic game anyways just to get that nostalgic feeling. It's a habit I'm not willing to break. Ever.

Oh. I almost forgot to mention....
The Zombie Apocalypse has started! Happy hunting, [insert word that will offend Sam]

Health health health me! (30/90)

I was reading through Obama's new health care plan because there's so much controversy over it (Well, I read over a summary, the actual thing is over 2,000 pages). It's supposed to lay it down plain and simple. Like "You're all getting health insurance." Yeah, that simple. Nice isn't it?

Well, apparently, the republicans didn't like the plan because they started threatening some democrats including some death threats towards some democratic families. Sheesh! Why don't you just talk about it? I mean, you guys ARE politicians, right? Some republicans did, however, speak out against the law which seemed really idiotic at first, but then when I looked over the bill, I had some second thoughts...

First of all, the plan calls out for everyone in the U.S. to have health insurance. I know, I know, it's what everyone wants, but what about the families who can't afford health insurance? This health care isn't free and what's worse is that people are being forced to get it! How do you live in a nation where the government forces you to pay more than what you can earn in a given amount of time?

Also, the bill lets all non-US citizens get free healthcare, whether they're illegal or not. You know what would also be nice? If that also applied to those who can't get a job or to those who are in need due to disabilities. But it doesn't. I guess the government is more concerned about having a good image than actually helping its own citizens who are in need.

One more thing. This bill calls out for all private healthcare plans to conform to government rules. I don't know why I have a problem with this considering I don't know anyone with a private healthcare plan. But this kind of concerns me because with the government making all of the rules considering healthcare in this country, I can only imagine that something can go horribly wrong.

I do have to say, though, the bill does seem like it has a lot of potential to do good in this country. One of the good things it does is organize the healthcare system better. I expect that transactions will be much easier in hospitals and other similar areas. I can only hope that we can learn quickly from our mistakes, if something does go horribly wrong....
