Newfound Powers

I feel different. In the last few months, I've gradually found more and more ambition. Gradually drawn upon an increasing amount of responsibility and organization I never new existed. My 2 classes at school are going very good. Everything around me just seems less chaotic and more structured. I recall hearing some kind of study recently where scientists found the frontal portion of the brain (responsible for things such as organization) develops much later, at around 25 years old. I'm almost 23, so maybe I'm just thinking more clearly about such things.

I find myself organizing projects around the house. Things that need to be taken care of. I set aside time for reading (school related), and limit the time I spend playing video games and watching TV. I've even imposed some of my new-found philosophical idealogy on those around me, limiting TV for the kids, and demanding help with the projects I manage.

Don't get me wrong though. I still like video games!

Ranting and Raving

So apparently I'm not allowed to get an 'A' on a paper in English unless I'm the next literary phenom. Seriously, she was explaining her grading policy, and after informing us on the criteria for getting a 'C', and a 'B', she went out of her way to drag a whiteboard 15 feet across the class, so that she could write an 'A' up there, circle it, put stars around it, and go on and on about how she rarely ever gives them out, and how if you're anything short of perfect, you won't get one.

I dunno how many of you have heard that story of the traitor, Ward Chuchill in Colorado. Erm, I mean professor. I'm not the biggest fan of President Bush, especially his Immigration policies, but this professor should be arrested and executed for sedition. I rarely post political viewpoints, and will rarely if ever post one again.

I know those who defend him are up in arms about freedom of speech. I personally think that when you're on the taxpayers payroll, and you preach seditious, traitorous, anti-American propaganda during war-time, you should be tried and executed.

In other news, life is pretty good. I'd post more often if I had time. What am I talking about, I have plenty of time. I'd post more often if I new people read it! Yeah, that sounds better.

Farewell!

Dream on!

Well, I've started classes this semester (woohoo!), and maybe even met some people to play warhammer/D&D with. So life is pretty good. I think my strike is over now, even though it still bothers me that It can kill my posts while I'm typing it out. Nothing sucks more than a nice, original piece of literary ingenuity wiped out by their choice to maintain/update their site at 6 in the afternoon on a Friday. Maybe notepad can ease my pain.

So last night I had a dream I was in some war in an oriental country. My whole unit was killed and somehow I lived uncaptured. I escaped and hid out in this family's house, and when I was found, they didn't rat me out. And one of the occupants was a soldier at the original fight where all my buddies died. Eventually they gave me what I needed to make it to a place where I could get back to the US (and told me to watch out for 100's of thousands of land mines, LOL). I'm not sure why I had this dream. I was watching a show on the History Channel about the battleship Missouri.

This years superbowl is the antithesis of a good football matchup. I was listening to the sports announcer on the radio broadcasting the eagles/falcons game, and some of the quotes were like "McNabb has taken this team to the next level", "McNabb has to go into the huddle and tell everyone not to make a mistake and to settle down", "McNabb is really in a zone right now", "McNabb is telling everyone in the huddle not to make any mistakes and to just finish the game".

I mean, wtf. They're grown men playing in a championship game and they need McNabb to teach them how to play football again? I'm sorry but Philadelphia's Defense DISMANTLING Atlanta and Minnesota is why they made it to the superbowl. McNabb is a good Quarterback, and when its all said and done, he may be a great quarterback. But to give 120% of credit and praise to McNabb just makes you look foolish. Radio Broadcasters need to quit giving him everything short of a handjob.

The guy doing the Patriots/Colts game wasn't much better!

On Strike

About 2 weeks ago, I made a huge post complaining about snow, and praising my attending college this semester. Blogger decided I was unworthy of posting that day, and proceeded to shut down its website, destroying my post I spent about 25 minutes on. That is all~

Words of Wisdom

Just a few bits of wisdom I picked up recently that I thought I'd share:

Don't walk barefoot in the snow.
Tip the delivery driver nicely. Yes, you know you want too.
Never expect the radio sportscasters to be even remotely unbiased when analyzing their team.
Never pick a Dome team on the road in the playoffs!

In other news, I've been playing Final Fantasy 4(Japanese version translated), and its quite fun going through it again. If you you're into those games, I recommend trying to find this.

Yesterday

Was probably one of the most structured days I've had in awhile. It turns out that if you go to sleep at night, and wake up at a reasonable time, you're more inclined to accomplish things (at least in my case). I cleaned the interior of my car, which hasn't been done in at least three months (It needed it!). I got some more steps out of the way so that I can hopefully take 2 classes this spring semester (only 2 because I'm paying out of state tuition until after April). I scrubbed the cabinets and counters in the kitchen. I finally got around to posted on my site again! I even squeezed in a short bit to read a chapter in my book (its on the right. See it?!). I finished several other menial chores around the house, and I even managed to squeeze in an hour of Sim City 4, and got my city up to 174,000 people. I just look back on yesterday, and can honestly say that it wasn't wasted one bit.

Today, I'm going to try and make a similar list (hello! I'm up at the crack of dawn again!), and just keep myself occupied. It goes along way towards keeping true to my New Years Resolution, and helps me harness maximum enjoyment out of life!

Nothing is perfect, but its what we strive for. Therefore, everything has to be perfect. It has little to do with the content within, though you might actually find it has everything to do with it.
