Nautical

Well, i've been wasting away hours of my life with a new toy. Actually it's a video game but I know how much Cait despises them so I thought I would try and fool her with the toy bit. Anyway, Final Fantasy is the work of the damn devil and it's hooked me like a wide-mouthed bass. I don't really have much to type about since I don't have anything going on in my life right now, and there's only so much you can write about going to the pool before everyone gets bored out of their minds. I'm actually looking at my own writing and I have to admit that it's finally sounding pretty interesting. Cait was right when she told me I has a nice stream-of-consciousness thing going on with my writings. Self praise aside, I've decided that since I won't really be posting much of anything for a while I will simply deliver onto you all a video of the day for however long I have actual videos to show. Though, I get the feeling that it may not be an actual daily occurance. I leave you with this: They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, mine look like this - iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Damn that was close

So, our computer has already gone through a period of weirdness. A few months ago a thick black line appeared on the right side of the screen and hid everything laying beneath it. They were like dead pixels. We took to Geek Squad at best buy and they fixed it. Tonight, while my cousin was on, the black line appeared again. She told me that when they had taken the computer to best buy the first time and the people plugged in the monitor the black line was gone. I never knew that piece of information. A few minutes ago in a moment of worry and fury, I unplugged every plug for the computer and then replaced them. Now, the screen is a-ok. I don't know what happened but I seem to have a knack for finding ways to fix things. Our internet connection box for example was prone to long bouts of disconnection. One day I actually discovered a very tiny hole with the reset button in it. Pressing that alone does not fix anything though. I also discovered that if I unscrew the coaxial cable from the box, press the reset button, and then re-screw the cable the connection will reestablish every single time. I feel happy and VERY relieved now. The fear of having to tell my mother that our old problem was back and that we would maybe have to take it up for repair AGAIN was scaring me witless. I still need something for the registry though...Erg. The computer boy's work is never done.

Note To Self

Do not blizzard my sandwichs with Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning. Even though it goes great on everything, more of it does not make the food taste better-er.

Phys. Ed.

I think that this Summer I really need to get out and exercise my ass off. Im horribly out of shape and it came flopping right into my face a few days ago. I went swimming with my cousin and I was winded after a few minutes in the water. I felt like crap, not just physically, but also mentally for letting myself get into such a horrid condition. My arms are scraggly, my chest is lacking, and my heart is pathetic. I've often used my lungs as an excuse for my lack of physical activity. While it is true that I do have bronchitis and my lungs are weaker than they should be, this should be no excuse for why I'm so out of shape. There are people out there in worse condition than I am who persevere in the face of adversity and go on to perform great physical feats. If they can do, my skinny black ass can do it too. I need to pump up and actually look somewhat hunk-ish before I go off to college looking like Steve Urkel. So, with that said, I shall be spending this Summer doing various activities to push my body to new lengths. I plan on taking this self-improvement talk to more than one medium. I believe a complete overhaul of myself would be the best way for me to prepare for college, and afterwards, enter into functional adult society. Maybe one day I'll be one of those people on the Maury Show who bring their old crushes or tormentors onto the show and have the before picture (usually pretty unsightly) and then they pop out and are super hottie-fide. Yes, I think I'd like that a lot.

First Day Of The Rest Of My Life

Well, tonight was the big night; graduation. I wasn't nervous all day until the hours began growing closer to crunch time. I had so many butterflies when we got to the colloseum. My mom and cousin dropped me off so that they could regroup with the rest of my family so I was going solo for a few hours until I saw them in the stands taking pictures of me. The whole ordeal went very well actually, save for a few over zealous families what went wild over their child. Those people were basically being disresectful though because their hoots and hollers made it difficult to hear the next student's name being called out. My mom said that the lady next to her was screaming and almost made her miss my name. She also said that had she missed my name she would have killed that woman because she's waited 17 years to see me walk across that stage. I believe her too, and I don't blame her one bit. Magnet's graduations are supposed to be dignified and honorable and it is out of respect that every student and their family should be allowed to hear their name being called. There were a few incidents but the police were everywhere so the perps were "escorted" out of the arena. I like to play with the idea that those people were beaten before being tossed out; the likelyhood of that actually happening is slim to none but still. I spent a good deal of time looking for my family after the ceremony was over but they were just waiting for me outside one of the side doors. We went home and I got a few presents: A card with $20 from my uncle's girlfriend Christina, a Mach 3 super shaving kit, A nice leather carry-on bag that's big enough for me to use to help carry my books and stuff to class in college, a small leather bag filled with my essentials for college (toothpaste, anti-perserant, chap stick, a bottle of 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner, etc.), and a small travel size pouch with fingernail clippers, metal nail file, metal old tyme razor, etc. I really loved all of my gifts because they're so practical and its all what I need. My Aunt is going to buy me a silk pajama and robe set in about a week and im really looking forward to feeling that against my skin. After my presents we all ate our fill of Crayfish and then had some of the best chocolate graduation cake i've ever tasted. I had myself a little mimi blueberry pie too because they're so cute and delicious. All in all I really enjoyed tonight. It was great being at home with my family instead of out partying like I know half of the senior class is still doing right now. Nope, just love and warmth at home for me. So guys, as they say, graduation is the first step in the rest of your life. On that note I believe that my blog should follow suit also. I recorded my highschool adventures and they were mixed as you know. My life does not end there which is why I shall continue blogging on my NEW and IMPROVED blog v. 2.0. Okey dokey folks, it's 12:30 and I am pooped so I believe i'll be hitting the sack now. Toodles.
