Check out Tahuri's blog. He has an awesome music player as well. Unfortunately, BZPower caps the Flash image size at 200 x 100 pixels, otherwise we could make these types of things so much cooler. Ah, well they are still awesome.

I'm going to some museum today for extra credit in history. They have terra cotta warriors there... I have to write up a report on them afterwords. School stinks...

I decided to make a wallpaper for my computer that matched my avatar and banner. Here is the image. I think I will make more for each character for Fantastic Five. Tah and I really should start working on that.

Okay, so today in English, our teacher decided (since, accordion to her, we are a class of failures) how to write a proper one-chunk MLA, Jane Schaffer patented, super stupid, paragraph for a MLA, Jane Schaffer patented, super stupid essay. She gives us a paragraph that she wrote herself. It was utterly horrendous. Terrible... Unrealistic vocabulary and bad syntax. Lame quotations, and contradictory ideas. The whole period we went on telling her what was wrong with her essay, as

In case I haven't mentioned it before, A website called Woot Shirt has a weekly shirt designing contest and they always sell the winning designs. This week's theme was pets. Here is my entry:

Let me warn you... It's ugly. I finally found this on my computer thanks to Google's Picasa. What an amazing program.
Sorry, it is a bitmap, I was not very smart then...
In other news, I am now the tied for being the fastest person on my cross country team with my friend Stephen. He dominates hills, flat courses are my specialty. Flat course tomorrow, thank goodness. I also may have someone to go to homecoming with. Our football team is doing terrible, and my Cross Count

Sorry, I was to tired after my meet Saturday to post this, I played Brawl all day with friends Sunday, and yesterday I was extremely busy with schoolwork... I came in 6th in my race, thats the sophomore race. I got a stitch in my side on the first hill, so I was pretty upset. Oh well, maybe next race I'll run a little better.
Anyway, here are some highlights of the past days:
-Line Rider is out for the iPhone/iPod Touch
-Fringe is awesome
-House is back

To get to the point, I had a beaker with a cuprous nitrate solution in one hand, and a beaker of a pretty basic base in the other, I walked past my teacher and as I did so, he bump my hand with his while pointing another student to the paper towels. I spilt the nitrate all over my hand, but he thought I spilled the base. He pulled me over to the sink while murmuring "I'm sorry!" a thousand times again. I thought he was having a heart-attack with the look he had on his face. Anyway

Well, it has been a few days since I have blogged... School is so boring this year, I cannot wait for all the extra activities to start, such as the football games. I don't care much for watching it, as our team is terrible, but its just a fun time to get together with friends. Yesterday I got my first taste of what AP World History will be like, I worked from 4:00 to 11:00 almost continuously on some lame assignment.
But, the main thing I would like to talk about is last Saturd

I went to bed yesterday at 9:30... I was wiped, that is the earliest I have gone to bed in a long time. After I woke up and ate breakfast this morning, I fell asleep on my bedroom floor. BOOM BOOM, my sister's knock on the door awoke me, "I said we're leaving early today!" she exclaims.
Shoot... I scramble to get ready and in five minutes I am gurgling mouth wash as I walk down the driveway toward her car. I spit it in the rosebush (our secret), and toss my running gear in bac

I awoke- sweaty, startled, and yet, it was cold, freezing. A cruel metaphoric reminder of the day ahead...
Okay, so today may not have been that dramatic, however it sure was exhausting. Once I arrived at school, I went over to the gym to see what my first class was, from there we would receive our full schedules. Score! English, first period, and Tahuri's in my class. Next I headed to my locker, placed my heavy Chemistry book inside and locked it up for the first time, then,

...is a right, right? Tomorrow I and my peers lose our freedom. School starts, and my life as I knew it dwindles away. I become a hopeless, useless shell of a man, a zombie to the corruption and greed of the school district. On the plus side, I don't have to make my own lunch!

This past weekend was the last one of the summer. Shame. Because of this, my friend invited my to spend the night, the last time for a long while. When I got to his house, we started off just watching television and stuff, then we started watching Wargames. We went to his grandmother's house along with his extended family for dinner, and we got to watch the Men's Marathon for the Olympics. 2:06:something... Incredible. When we got home, we finished Wargames then watch the seque

Today was a long day... First, I had cross country practice as usual, we ran a six mile run, but it felt a lot shorter. We started at school and turned right from the football field parking lot, made three lefts in a loop and continued straight for about a mile. Right on the next street, then left just past In N Out, straight for another mile, then right, right, and straight till we hit the golf course. Once there, we go up the parking lot and loop around the country club, back out

I forgot to mention yesterday that my iPod broke. A software issue, luckily. I believe the problem was that I tried to update to 2.01 (bug fixes) from my computer, a PC. The curnels don't match exactly between my computer and the unit, so it flashed it's own memory then would not restore itself. I restored it on my friend's Mac and now it is fine.
Anyway, I had to use my Zune to listen to music yesterday, and my PSP to go on the web while my sister was on the computer. It made

We finally got a new monitor. Nineteen inch widescreen. I'm so happy because now I have a big enough monitor to have two programs open at once and still be usable side by side. For example, Photoshop and Flash.
Plus, check out my awesome new wallpaper:
Link.
Warning, the pictures are horrible. Never save as a .jpeg from paint. The compression is horrible.

Well, title kinda states what I'm feeling, so I'll just tell you why. School is about a week and a half away, I've been running miles each week, and I think I'm in sleep debt. I slept till 12:35 today, which is the latest I have ever slept in, not good. Homework is occupying almost all my time right now, the rest is running and watching the olympics. Usually while doing homework. This year is going to be hectic, but I hope I can prioritize better and still have time to post and b
