Well for the first time this entire semester, I almost forgot to blog. Much to your delight I am sure I did remember.
You should be reading through chapter 21 this evening. I would truly make sure that I have read through 19 and have completed the correct sheets. (Hmmm what is this man saying?)
For this evening I would like for you to do a free blog. You can write on anything you would like as long as it is coherent and makes sense. You also respond to the ideas of another persons blog as long as it is done appropriately.

I think that for christmas brake teachers should not be allowed to assign any home work. There are teachers that do and it is the dumbest disicion I have ever scene. Like any one will do it any way who the hell wants to do homework over chistmas break. Every year I have a teacher who gives homework over chistmas break and I hate it. If they are going to give any homework it should be to have fun over break. If they dont like that idea then they should give out something easy and give class time to do it. So if there are any teachers thinking that (MR. Kay) seriously dont do it because it is not cool at all.
well to day was a really good day for me. I was in such a good mood and not to tired at all. I dont have a lot of homework whitch is always nice, and prac. wasnt to hard. even though my leg is killing me now. I cant believe that we only have a week till we are off for 16 days. I am goin to be so busy. I hope my mom dont plan a bunch of stuff for me. When she does that its like i have no time to do what i like. But on the bright side i get to see a bunch of family i havent seen in a long time. SO what are you happy about?

Wow, I'm not going say how much i love this free blog.
Lately iv been making huge changes in my life. I have been slowly filtering people out of my life almost completely. Always i have just went with the flow and conformed to other people's expectation. So what iv done is simply do what i want and say what i think. This has caused people to not talk to me. In theory that is a good thing. People who can't handle who i am shouldn't talk to me. But i just simply miss the kinds of friendship's i had before this change. Iv also decided to stop talking to people purposely because they want to judge my life style. I'm looked at as a stupid person because i don't drink/smoke/do drug's. Why is that seen as bad thing? If the world is not going to respect me i wont respect it, that's my life motto. I still respect people's life decisions if they respect mine, even if there completely different than my own. All i ask is for respect and i wont have a problem with you. Butt you people who like to talk shit can talk it to my face, and you will see what will happen. Don't act like you know me. I think that's annoying, I'm not like all the other edge kid's if you really get to know me. That's all i have for now. Have a good day.
honestly lately i have been getting tired of the detroit pistons. But most of all the "allen iverson haters". I am getting very anoyed on people saying how he ruined our team...People are also saying look how good chauncy is doing in denver. Well look at denvers team anthony, nene, k mart...It suits billups attributes what people dont understand. Allen iverson is a playmaker it takes time to go along with his style of play. We need to give time we will be alright and make it to the finals once again and hopefully win it. We have a better shot now that we have someone that can take over a game and fire back with the lebrons and kobes of the league...
I think there's something wrong with me. I know this is kind of random, but I think i have some kind of illness. My stomach has been hurting like hell for the past few days and I don't know why. I've been really irritable and pissed off too. I've basically been living on Tums through this. I'm kind of starting to get scared; it feels like I ate a piece of glass. Any suggestions Dr. Kay? Man this sucks.
I would like to do my free blog on the Detroit Lions. They are so bad its not even funny. Some are saying that this is the worst team in any sport ever.I personally went to a game and they look worse in person than on TV. I wish they were good so I could actually watch my home team on tv. But no, they can't even sell out. I don't blame fans for not buying tickets. Who would want to go and watch an 0-13 team. I certaintly wouldnt. I think Mr. Ford should spend his money on some real talent. I hope they go 0-16 and maybe some of the management will relize that they suck.
Christmas is going to be Awsome! My whole family is giving me money which is cool because I can spend it on exactly what I want. Im getting around 600$ and I dont even know what to do with it. I might spend it or save it, I'm just not sure. Most likely I will save it for a while then spend it all because I get bored. Like Nick said I also would hate to have homework over break. I wonder what my parents got me for Christmas... I want an elephant!
I can completely relate to cody's blog in so many ways because I too have been through so many changes not just lately, but in 2008 as a whole. It's such a frustrating like Cody said when people don't agree with me not doing drugs/drinking especially/ being abstinant(yes til marriage :])and smoking. It frustrates me because here I am being so proud of myself for having so much self control and making soley on my own the choice not to do these things and I feel like no one understands, or supports me. While I am staying true for so long to my word, so many around me continue to badgure me and belittle me because I dont want to drink at a party. I'm sorry, but to me that's just pretty insane. I could never honestly imagine myself going up to someone at a party and making fun of them for being sober. Rather, I would pat them on the back and let them know how cool I think that is. Sure, I realize that not everyone may feel the same, but to be being above the influence in high school is a pretty big deal, especially in the crowd of people I hang out with. I often find myself so alone and no one who can relate to me on that level of understanding of actually knowing what it's like, but to hear it coming from someone else who I know makes me feel a little better. It defitonaly has been one of the biggest challenges for me not having even some of my best friends support in making this decision, but I do understand that I am making these particular choices for myself to be the bigger person and grow as an individual. Everyday we as people make thousands of personal choices, and these just happen to be mine. I don't do this to make others approve of me obviously, or else I would have made other choices to meet the standard of my peers. I guess it's just all about growing up and being wise enough to know I don't need those things in my life what-so-ever because in the end I am confident that the positives I do today will benefit me enormously in the end.
oops that was a little bit of venting...haha.
:)
This year is probablly lead me to some of the biggest decisions I have yet to make in my entire life. I feel so confident that to this day I have made the right ones for myself so far. But I have this constant battle that has been going on and a huge decision that I have got to make very soon. For the longest time ever since I oved here from Oregon I have this drive and push from God know's where to be back in Oregon trying it out again. But I am so torn to leave m new life behind here that I am so attached to. But then again.. I have the same exact problem there being attached to so many and so much. I know that in my heart God will lead me to the right thing, but either way is going to have so much good and so much bad coming out of it. I am so excited to see waht the future few years are going to be holding for me, and I guess this decision isn't really a matter of making me or breakig me, but more of one that is going to be such a life changing process. I guess I will just have to see what direction I am pushed towards in the next few months, and hopefully the best possible changes and outcomes are going to result from it!
I had a really god day today. It started out as one of those days that seem like they will last forever. Then once third hour was there it went fast. I think i did really good on my math quiz today so that mad me happy. I think that this next week is going to go by so slow. I just wish we were on break already. I like when we don't have school so i can sleep in. I haven't been able to do that for a while. All of the last break i had to get up early because i had family over. So i really look forward to this break.
Well first off i think we should have a free blog more often. Maybe not every week but everyother would be nice. Today was a pretty simple day. I did not have much homework and had alot of time to just relax. I cant wait for tommarow to come and end so we can be that much closer to break. I think that, like stated above, no teacher should give out homework during break. On the topic of the book i think i kind of liked reading it a bit. At first it seemed boring and dull but then i started reading it a little more and it doesnt seem too bad. The end is not what i expected, until i was told a good three times by other kids. Another random topic i have to talk about is how the A key on my keyboard is missing the cover thing, making it hard to blog.
Well this week has been pretty good iv only missed one blog i dont know about you guys but... To marrow i am going to b-dubs for free and after that i am going to the pistons game with 20 different people. I know a few of the people i am going with. One of the people is my best friend and im excited because this is my first basketball game. On Saturday i am going to alpine all day with another one of my best friends and we are going to board for the entire day. the only bad part is were are going to be with his girl friend. Sunday i have to work and i will be getting off at 2:00 and from there i dont know but this weekend is looking pretty good right now nothing can go wrong :D
I can’t wait for Christmas this year it is my most favorite holiday. I think it is because all of the presents and that we get I break from school. I’m really exited for break because I going to see my brother that moved to a different state. I haven’t seen him in two years so I cant wait. Also today wasn't that good of a day. I have to go to the doctors to get my eyes looked that. I don’t like the doctors or dentist they freak me out for some reason.
I am going to comment on bens blog. I agree with the fact that he says the detroit lions suck majorly. I dont agree with the reason why though. I myself am not a detroit lions fan. I have never been. I probably wont ever be. Detroit has a lot of talent. Yes, they are missing some key players that they need but they have enough to have won some games this year. I think the reason however for there lack of winning starts with Ford. He needs to sell the team to an owner that is capable of hiring the people that will possibly get him to the playoffs. I dont beleive it is all on the players for there losing. I think most of it starts with the coaching, and the lack of fan support. Ya ya nobody supports them because they are terrible. It doesnt matter if they are terrible, they might actually have a shot to win 1 game this year if they actually had some support. That is what I think about the detroit lions.
today i would like to tell you a story about karma. Today while i was at work i had to shadow one of my fellow instructers so that i could become certified to teach. There was also another person with me named B (names have been changed for obvious reasons). So the beginning of the lesson started off great and the kids were doing fine. About halfway through the lesson one child named doug had problems paying attention. I was handleing this very well and being curtious and helpful, while B on the other hand was getting annoyed and angry. Soon it got to the point where B was not satisfied sharing the lesson and he asked to take over. I believe that he just wanted to try to show this kid how much better than him he was. But in order to keep the peace i let him take the lead for the rest of the lesson. When the end came the kids i were working with passed and improved greatly while B's kid did not improve at all. All B did was tell him to go down the hill and not pay any attention to him. This i found to be disrespectful and totally unprofessional. So then an idea formed in my head. I challenged B to a simple game of SNOW (same as horse in bball). I have had prior expirence with this kid trying to say he is better than me. And i dont care he can say what he wants but he is all talk while i let my board do the talking. So anyway this was the perfect way to avenge this kid and get him to shut up. I gave him the lead and right away he messed up and fell. so now its my turn to lead and i bust out a fat frontside tail press to fakie. B comes down and totally comes no where close to the trick so he gets an S. When he catches up to me he starts complaining about how i didnt do it but he was wrong there were witnesses and they all agreed. On the next run it was my turn to lead again and this time i did a backside tail press to front side nose press. Now when B comes down he once again comes no where close and now has an SN. At this point i realized that this was way to easy and i wanted to end it and go home because now it was just boring. so we added a new rail to the game and i lead once again because he didnt land it trick. This time i do a switch frontside boardslide to regular hard way out. Now it is B's turn and not only does he eat shit majorly which was hilarious he does the trick regular instead of switch so he definitly got another letter. On the final rail we added i did just a simple plain tail press or manueled the rail in a way. Now i was thinking that B was going to get this one and i was hoping that he would so i could totally kill it in the next round but that was not the case. Instead B goes and he cant even get his nose off the rail higher than a quarter of an inch for more than a second. This got him his last and final letter. B got SNOW and i got nothing in 2 runs and 5 rail hits. Now i am extremely staisfied for two reasons. One that kid has been avenged because what he did was not cool and Two because hopefully he will finally shut his mouth and realize that he blows. And if he wants to come and try to beat me again then he is welcome to but i know he wont be back because he realized how much of a FOOL i made out of him. So the moral to that story is dont pretend like your the best at everything because other people will make you look silly and dont pick on little kids. And for all you people who are going to call me a hippocrite, i am not acting like im the best in the world i know that im not and i knwo alot of people better than me, but i also know that i am wayy better than B. Plus im working hard to become as good as the people better than me where as B goes out and does the same old shit over and over and over again and you think that he would do it good by now, but he really doesnt. So i am NOT a hippocrite. and that is the end of my very long karma rant.

even though this is a free blog, i am almost thinking this os gong to be difficult, so here goes. i think, much lke most others, i will use this oppurtunity to vent. recently, i have been trying to make drastic changes in my life, and i am very satisfied with myself. i have gone to counseling, and have been diagnosed with a whole host of problems. i have mostly overcame them, and am improving myself daily. but there is one person whom i can never seem to please, no matter how hard i try. i dont think my mom can accept the fact that i am a 17 year old and almost an adult. she cant accept the fact that now, i can formulate my own opinions, think things through, make my own decisions, and achieve what i want on my own. even with my improved grades, she fails to see my triumph. nothing i ever seem to do is good enough. now that thats out of the way.
there is one thing above all else that i absolutely cant stand; arrogance. these people who think they know everything, cant sit down and listen to another side of the story, and feel that they are the greatest, honestly are the worst. the pure thought of such a thing makes me fume. i cant understand why people can be this way, it is the worst thing ever. especially with this whole auto loan idea; the magnitude of this problem is easily the largest issue in america today and possibly the world. the fact that almost everyone in america or even the world are affected by the big 3 in some way must take an affect on people. yeah, sure, global warming, war, famine, drought, poaching, drugs, neglect, human rights and politics are huge, but this is drastic. if someone in congress, or the government, or hell, the world can realize this importance of this issue, i cant stand it. if they fail, we all fail.
everythig is relative.
This year has been really busy for me. I want a break so badly. I am so exhausted latey with everything going on. I am so longing for christmas!!! I dance and feel so tired lately from coming home real late from dance and trying to start my homework for school. I dance 6 days a week and love it but sometimes it can be overwhelming. We are getting ready for competitions and workshops which are taking place next week. Then trying to organize more dance organizations like dedication. On top of all that I even have to find time in the day for school homework. It has just been non stop lately and i am emotionally and physicaly drained. I am starting to stress about school now because i haven't had much time to study for test or do homework. Dance is such a huge part of my life that i always put it first before school work because it is something i plan to do in life. Christmas break is well needed for time for me to catch up on everything in my life. So much but not enough time in the day. Man o man..
Scott's right, I NEED GUIDANCE! I have no idea what to talk about, there's waaay to much in there world that I could go on for hours about. For one, did you know that tuition for a school K-8 is limited to 25% operation costs? I also hate my passat lately. MY HEATED SEATS DON'T WORK AND MY BUTT GETS COLD!
Something that really irks me is when n00bs but into servers. I'm trying to play Jedi Knight Academy with my friends and it makes me so mad when people join server and start shooting indiscriminantly. It's the most annoying, immature, rude stupid thing to do. Not that I'm any more mature playing a Star Wars game, but hey, I'm not in the mood for Armed Assault tonight.
Have any of you ever noticed that the MacPros have this odd problem where the screen dies after an hour or so? Then it flickers back on after you leave it for a bit. That's bugging me. I'm trying to finish some artwork currently, (EMAIL me if you want my portfolio or to request something!!!). I have half the diagram done, and the screen cuts out and I have to leave it for 10 minutes. That's 10 minutes that my ideas aren't being put forth through the Wacom. It's too long I tell you. Man, I really am a nerd. I'm making a diagram of a star trek ship for one of my friends, (dont do anything for free, you'll regret it). While I think it's good, it's taking too long and it's a stupid thing to spend so much time on. I normally don't try to do things in this detail. It takes both my monitors just to detail one of the consoles. I'm planing to get it printed, so if any of you by the off-chance want a copy (10 11"x17" sheets) i'll be more than happy to give you the number of my printer. They need the business. For that matter so do I.
I'm proud of myself for what I've gotten done so-far. I'm doing the deckplans for a 5-deck ship, and detailing it to the point where, when you zoom into 6400% (Mac zoom in Illustrator CS3) you can read writing on the consoles. That's the beuty of Vector graphics, you can zoom in and in and in and you don't loose quality or get pixelation. At least, until you export it. I think I'll export it as a .png as .jpeg would make each sheet about 50mb and that's ridiculously large for something that could be 6.3mb and better quality. Only problem that I've faced so far is that I run out of RAM. That really makes me angry. I can't believe that 4GB isn't enough, and I really don't want to take all the files to my friend's and use him Pro which has 8GB. (Pros can get up to 32GB, but that gets to be too much and waaay too expensive). I'm going to have to figure this out over the weekend.
You know something I really think is stupid? How they're putting Bogojvich on a plinth and shining a light on his ass. They [the media] needs to stop talking about him like there's no such thing as a corrupt politician. I hate how they all think, "not in this country," and then are totally suprised when it turns out there is corruption. GET OVER IT CNN! My God!
I also hate how fast the day goes. I want to have more time in each day, not for school, but for the things I like. I think that we all feel days go by faster because, the longer we live, the more used to 24 hours we become.
I hate AT&T and Comcast too. They find ways to rape you of your money left, right, forwards, backwards and upside down. This stupid "G3 super-fast connection" has a 5GB download cap, which means I can only use 5GB of their service before they start charging overages. I hope congress passses a bill banning that, that would be something useful they could do.
Well, I've wasted a perfectly good ten minutes of your life having you read this. I'm sorry Mr. Kay and anyone else, but this is the curse of a free blog. G'night all.
I cannot wait till christmas. This year im getting an ipod touch for christmas. I cant wait to get it because the ipod i have now is a piece of crap. Im also getting a lot of money from my family for christmas. Im hoping to use that money to get stuff for my car like my window tint. :) i also cant wait to be on break. Im going to sleep in everyday. Im probably going to go snowbaording for the first time this year since ill have free time for once! im excited.
Fun is very important in life. It is what keeps you happy. Lately, I have been not having any fun. I have been having too much homework to have any fun. I have been very stressed. I am STILL trying to catch up on what I missed last week when I was absent. I am trying very hard to get these worksheets done, but there is only so many that you can do in a night before your brain explodes! Please do not assign more than three worksheets for this weekend! Please don't assign ANY homework over Winter break. Pretty pretty please?
My guitar has seemingly taken over my life. At this time one year ago, I hadn't been the person that I am now at all. In March, I picked up the guitar and taught myself to play and now the instrument is an integral part of my life. I play for hours and hours each day, and open mic night at Kozy Koffee every Thursday is a real treat for me, especially when I play live and hear others cheer after I play a song that I've written. Both my father and my brother are guitarists, and both have the skills to become professional - they opt not to due to their lack of interest in fame. Contrary, I wish to become a professional musician; not for the fame, but so that I can share my love of music to the world. Writing music has got to be the most rewarding gift that I've ever received, and it comes naturally to me. Ever since I picked up the instrument I've learned to appreciate music of any kind much more. I also listen to music much different than did I before I'd played guitar. I am also very proud of the fact that I have never taken a lesson once; I taught myself everything that I know and in the end, I may not play as technically well as the next person, but I get much more of a reward out of nigh anything that I play.
Well to start off i really appriciate this free blog...and there for i am going to talk about this year for myself....Well 2008 for me has been quite a year of alot of hell...it started off at the begining of this year with my mom finding out that she was going thru foreclosure and funds got really tight in the family...after that school was coming to an end and we only had two months left in our house...in june i got my licence and my first job which made june a really good month then in july i spent alot of time with friends and with my dad while my mom went on a vacation out of state...that led to a pretty good july...after that into August is when my life started back on the downward spiral and my mom was now into full forelclosure and we had to start to find a new place to live and with a small budget the best we could find was an apartament...in the begining of the school year we moved and that brought some stress and then my dad took my mom to court over a custety battle for me...with me hoping he would win he didnt and my mom won but i love her and now i am realizing why she won...after that things were okay and i was saving up my money...another bump came to the road in november with school issues and currently in life i just baught my first car and i am happy to say i have a girlfriend which i love and my favorite time of year is right ahead of us and christmas is coming :) . So life right now is going good.
