| Well, I am in Illinois right now till Monday, the first day of 2007. Needless to say, the new year is coming, and I could care less. Nothing changes with a new year, hell, years aren't real anyways. They are just an imaginary unit of time based on the orbit of Earth around the Sun. At least it's an excuse to party though.
Not much is going on right now, well, sorta. Long story though. Frankly, I'm still trying to sort through it myself. Other than that I'm doin alright, just living life one day at a time. Trying to forget about everything and focus on what needs to be done. It's really the only thing to do. A lot seems to be going on lately, not only in my life, but in the lives of others around me, leaving me just to hope that things work out well for everyone.
The night before I left, I was at Zach's house with Ashley, Sam, and Pierce, which was fun. It was a great time, what with Zach's "orgasmo-chair" (actually it was a massage chair, but you'd have to have been there to understand), chocolate chocolate chip cookies (yes, chocolate chocolate chip), and mini-popcorn (that Ashley didn't finish). It was nice to get to hang out with everyone in an environment other than a school setting. I like us all getting together, because I can get away and forget everything during that time, not to forget sleep better that night as well. It seems to be much easier to shut my eyes after we've all been together and what not.
Well, I'd try to find more to say, but I am extremely worn out, so I think I'm going to head for the sack. Good luck to everyone, and may tommorrow's life be as bright as the morning sun.

| Well, It's about 11:47 hours right now, and I can't go to sleep. My mom got home around 6:30 to 7:00, and left around 8:00 to 8:30 to go to work. Greg is still at work, and won't get back till around midnight. This leaves me here at the computer, trying to waste time. My brother just went to bed (even though he was supposed to be asleep an hour ago), and my mom put my sister to bed before she left. All I have to do is stay awake and make sure nothing happens. The staying awake part is the biggest pain in the ass though, not because of being tired, but because of having nothing to do. I'm trying to keep myself busy so as to keep my thoughts trained on one set thing, because if I don't, my mind wanders, and lately that has been something I would prefer to avoid. It really does annoy me, but fortunately being around friends helps it a ton. This may be because I'm most comfortable with my friends - because God knows I'm not very comfortable around my own family. To tell the truth, my friends feel a lot more like family to me than my own family does, the only exception being my dads side of the family. They are all nice and well raised, and I get along with them perfectly, unfortunately they all live in Illinios and Missouri. This post is shorter than most of my previous posts for the main reason that there isn't much goingon. Just the same old regimen of waking up, going to school, and returning at home. On weekends I'm either with friends, or sitting on my ass at home trying to find something to do. My main form of entertainment is going out into the woods around the bike trail and walking around there. There's really nothing special about it, it's just something to do. Something to focus my mind onto. I suppose the main reason I like going out into the woods is because I can get away from home. So now that this post is starting to get to a decent length, I'm going to go. I have no clue what I'm going to do, but I'm going to go anyways. Maybe I'll ponder why I even still write in this thing, seing how it's such a mystery to me, as you all have learned many times over from previous posts. Anyways, goodnight, and goodluck. | | |
| Well, I finally found time to write in this God forsaken thing - or maybe I just stopped being lazy. Either way, Ashley now has something to read, seeing how that is what she was bugging me about today in Spanish, a class which annoys me to no end . It's not because it's hard, or because it's boring (in fact it is actually quite amusing), but because I am good at it. Because I understand it too well - which could be helped by the fact that I took it in Eighth Grade. Never-the-less, it is an amusing language to use because of the fact that it sounds quite silly and childish. What sucks though is that right now, I have to print off some stuff for a project in Spanish, and my printer has gone down the shitter. I will end up trying it later on tonight, so if it still doesn't work, I'll put my USB Drive into action. Hopefully the documents will be compatible with the Macs the school uses, because I have seen people run into such problems before. One of these days, hopefully, the school will realize that it needs to use Windows software. When you reach the real world, you'll most likely be using Windows in your job (considering you use a computer at all). Most companies use it, and most homes have it, so why not put it in schools? I do like what Mac is doing now, with their new computers they're making that are Macs, but will also run Windows, which really gives you the best of both worlds. All of this talk about one being better is pretty pointless, because they both have qualities over the other. Windows is good for general use tasks, while Macs are good for work related tasks. Other than all of that, my life is fairly uneventful. What is going on I either don't care to share at this particular moment, or I find it too insignificant to others lives to bother with (although that would include almost everything I've ever written). | | |
| Well, it's 0342 right now, and I haven't slept yet tonight. I'm going
to continue to stay up till I'm in the car. We shove off at 0730, and
so I want to be able to sleep at that time. Right now I'm transferring
all my files and stuff from my dads computer to my crappy little
laptop. The only good thing about it is it's portable, and I can use it
as a big storage device.
I hate laptops though. They feel too cramped, and don't have as much
memory. Those little touch pads instead of mouses are also a pain in
the ass. Sometimes if you accidentally tap it when going to move your
cursor, it will count it as a click. I prefer desktop computers with
their higher memory, more capabilities, and less cramped feeling. the
only draw back is that you can't stuff the thing into a back pack and
take it somewhere else to use it unless you have a really big back pack
and are going to another house.
Hopefully I can get enough money to build myself a good PC. I'm going
to need quite a bit of money to do that though, seeing how I'm going to
need a lot of space on it. I ussually play games, edit videos and
images, and am going to see if I can't learn how to make a flash game.
For those of you who just got a sick picture in your head, shut the
hell up, thats not what I mean.
I am going to look for a job when I get back to Wisconsin. I need money
so I can do stuff. At the moment I only have ten bucks to my name, but
hopefully I can change that and find a job. Right now my only source of
income is doing stuff around the house (which even then I'm lucky if I
even get a sincere thank you, key word being sincere), and my
neighbors, who pay me 10 to 15 bucks to mow their lawn and shovel their
driveway. Now I know thats a lot for them to pay me, but hey, I'm not
going to argue with money.
I'm definately going to need to get a job seeing how I'm going to be
able to drive soon, and therefore will be able to drive. Most certainly
my parents aren't going to help out with any of that, just because they
don't have to and really don't want to. Who can blame them though?
Hell, if I don't have to spend money I ussually won't, depending on the
situation.
I need to find a time today to ask Greg some stuff. One of the quetions
is whether or not I'll have any time in the last two days before
school. If I do then maybe I can hang out with Sam, Ashley, Zach,
Pierce, and Brandon. Also I need to ask if I can go to a movie with my
girl friend the second weekend of the school year. I'm not sure what
movies are playing, but, first I need to know if I should go through
the bother of finding them out. The last thing I really need to know is
whether I can go help advertise the Vietnam Reenacting Group I'm
helping to form.
It's really cool, because what we do is dress up as though we are
grunts in Vietnam, with all the correct gear in the correct manner, and
help to show what the Vietnam Veterans had to go through. We educate
them on what their life was like, and what role they played in the war.
We have the full support of many of the Vietnam Veterans, who are
volunteering to be advisors to our group, and tell us how we need to
look, act, behave, and very other little detail. We also may be able to
borrow some reisen M16A1 models from a guy who makes and sells them.
Normally we'd have to purchase the models from him for a a couple
hundred dollars, but even he supports our cause, and so is lending them
to us for the weekend.
We are just starting off though, so we don't have all the gear we need,
but we're getting it fast. We already have ODs (Olive Drabs. Referring
to the color of the uniform, which is OG-107, aka Olive Drab), and near
all the webbing gear. For now my friend Mike, who is helping to start
this, is going to have the webbing gear, and I am just going to have a
flak jacket, due to a lack of webbing. Hopefully it isn't hot out there
that day, because those flak jackets are like a fucking oven. Add on
top of that boots, an M1 steel pot helmet, long pants and long shirt
(even though I will probably roll up the sleeves), and having to carry
around a real weight replica M16A1 (even though they aren't too
terribly heavy, it gets tiring if it's really hot outside). Damn it'd
get hot, but oh well, it's for a good cause (wow I sounded like such a
tree-hugging, joint smoking, peace fucking hippie right there).
I'm not sure how often I'm going to be able update this thing when I
get back home. I'm not able to get on the computer very often, and when
I can, I usually am on there for the sole purpose of school work, after
which I have to get off so it can remain unattended for countless
hours, or even days. I guess I'll get back to it when I do, which may
be for a damn long time, but we'll see what the coming suns bring I
spose.

| It's about 1210 hours right now, and I am bored as hell. I find it sad that I am actually posting on this damn thing, due to Sam and Ashley forcing me to do this. Oh well, this has avoided me a black eye at basic, because Sam can't punch me before I go, not to mention lock me in their dormroom closet, haha.
If any of you don't get the point of my title, then where the hell have you been? There is so much corn in Illinois, every fucking exit is corn. Any town is just an island on a sea of corn. That's okay though, I love corn. Corn is the most excellent vegetable ever devised. I'll eat as much of it as is given to me, even if I'm doubled over from being so full.
I'm not sure what I should do after this, maybe go onto EBay. EBay is so damn addicting. I'm broke and I'm still looking at stuff on there. We needed a new power supply for my laptop, because the cord in the other one got chewed up by our cat thanks to my ignorant brother not realizing that the cat likes to chew on cords.Well, the computer is Dell, and those fuckers make it so that to get anythign for that computer, it has to come from dell, because they are the only ones who make a power supply for that computer. Well, it would normally be over $100, but when my dad went to this one computer guy in town, he told us that you can find them on ebay for around $25 with shipping. Needless to say, we're going to him next time we have computer troubles, so long as I'm in Illinois at the time. I've also gotten a great deal on military items off of EBay. A good example is helmets. A PASGT helmet (kevlar helmet) normally costs around $200 to $300. On Ebay, I got one for $25.
Well, there's two days left until I go back to Wisconsin. I can't wait to get out of here. Unfortunately, when I get back to Wisconsin, I have to deal with Greg, who has been pissing me off lately. Too bad for him though, because I'm sick of everyone's shit. If he doesn't comply with my request for him to knock off the bullshit, he's going to have a rough time. At that point he won't be able to wait till I join the Corps.
For some reason, even though Greg was in the Marines, and my mom is in the Naval Reserves after being National Guard and Navy, they really despise my decision to enlist in the military in general, and despise it even more so that I'm going Marine Corps. They say they don't want me killed, and that if I join I should be a fucking officer in the Navy or Airforce. Fuck that, I'm going to go to basic right after high school, and be in the shit with everyone else before I sit back and tell them to go fight and die while I stay in and aircondition room all fucking day. I'm going to go up through the ranks, till I'm like Staff Sergeant, Gunnery Sergeant, or maybe even Master Sergeant, then I'll consider being an officer, but not before. I want to know what its like to have your ass in the grass during combat before I tell a bunch of kids to go in there and add to the casualty rate.
I wonder where my generations war is going to take place. Some say Korea, other say Iran. I hate both the fuckers, so either one works. Right now, Kim Jung Il is at the very pinnacle of my shit list. I hate his very existance. I hope his oppression of the North Korean people will soon end. All they need is one person to stand up for the cause to overthrow him, and the lemming effect will take it's course. Any of you who don't get that, in other words, the rest will follow suit. Once people are starving enough, and sick of his shit, that fucker will have to answer for all his mistakes, including his funny shoes. whats funny though, is that he can't even build a fucking rocket when they sell little model rockets at Wal-Mart for dirt cheap. Hell, I can build a fucking rocket if I felt like conquering the world, or at least the block I live on.
Heh heh, maybe I can make my own country. I can call it the Independent State of Private Real Estate. Maybe I can get others to join and we can call it the The Independent Union of Private Real Estate. Our rockets can be model rockets with sparkler bombs on the ends, haha.
I don't have much else on my mind, so if your life is that exciting, that you have to read this, then I'm sorry, but I'm going to go. Instead of EBay, I'll probably go and take advantage of the nice weather. Sunny, 76.7 degrees fahrenheit, slight breeze. Damn it's great. | | |
