    "There is no emotion; there is peace.
    There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
    There is no passion; there is serenity.
    There is no death; there is the Force."
    -The Jedi Code
     
    So the weekend's been good to me, and I found that canvas, though now I don't think I'll actually get around to using it. I have, on the other hand, written an essay for the newspaper editor, and I'll see what he thinks of it today. If he likes it, this may be the beginning of an amateur career. The only thing is that for another essay, I'd have to get ticked off at something, as most of my essays are about things that annoy me.
     
    I suppose I'll kind of miss this blogging thing when it's over, but as 1.) nobody looks at it anyway, and 2.) I skipped a couple of days, I think I'll get over it.

    So it's the weekend and I'm really not that relaxed at all. I was just reminded yesterday that I have something rather important (but not too difficult) due on Monday, as well as some current event stuff. I also need a notebook for one class. As it turns out, I have one, but I don't know how my teacher would take it if I turned in an assignment written on a notebook made from recycled elephant feces...
     
    And yes, I actually have one of those.
     
    So in short, my weekend's probably going to suck. And I have yet to locate that canvas I mentioned in my last entry. Next week doesn't look so bad, though...

    And so, another quote:
     
    "Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.
     
    "The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
     
    "Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."

    So with me everything's going well enough, but I'm sure it won't stay that way for long. Some time soon the work load will probably pick up, I'll be freaking out over classes and life in general, and lots pf people will be on my back for being more behind than usual. And I'll feel extremely jealous of my classmates who decided to slack off this year instead of actually take classes.
     

     
    I also want to note that I'm planning to get more writing done by the end of this month, a painting done for a friend's birthday in October, and maybe I'll get to blow something up for my brother's birthday, which is the Fifth of November.
     

     
    I talked to someone who offered a lot of essay-writing contests today. The only thing was that I didn't really like any of the themes of the contests, because I figured they were too limiting and all asking for a more serious, sincere sounding tone that I'm not really that good at in writing or even speaking.
     
    :wakeup2: Now, a humorous, sincere tone is something I can do. I think the fact is that I actually do think seriously, but I don't like to let it get to me. Whatever. I'm sure I'm not helping myself by trying to give myself a mental diganosis.
     
    I'm wondering how the following year will all play out. Right now, it doesn't look so good.
     
    And so now I've got to find a canvas for that painting I was talking about...

    :wakeup2: Start with a quote:
     
    "I know what you're thinking — "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But, being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk?"
     
    You'd better know where that's from.
     
    Next: FORUMS ARE BACK BABY!
     
    So, since this whole blog thing was enabled to us normal members for this week, I figured I'd go with it. Usually, I wouldn't do this, but I was kind of bored, and as this is only a week-long thing...
     
    So on my life: school started for me this week. It's kind of stressful, all thing considered, as I'll be going to college next year, and I'm afraid I've fallen into the age-old stereotype of the manically depressed artist. Which is scary.
     
    Speaking of art, my writing is now a more public, and the editor of the school newspaper told me that if I wrote him a satire, he'd get me published. Most of my classmates don't really read the paper, but if I make it good enough, it might get some attention.
     
    I'm also annoyed that my English class will focus more on research paper writing than creative writing. And that kind of sucks. 'Cause I like creative writing, even if it's just humorous essays.
     
    I'm kind of considering not working on a novel at any time, but instead making a series of inter-connected short stories, kind of like the original Conan books or something. I've also considered writing essays or the like for a publisher, or just making a book of my opinions (though the problem with that is that maybe nobody wants to read it).
     
    Umm... so yes, I has a blog, if only for a short time. I hope you enjoyed.
