Ah, this time of year again. Four docks to remove, three boatlifts, one of which is a pontoon lift, and also, besides the three, is a jetski lift. It was quite easy this year, not hard work at all. The only problem was the third dock, our uncle's friends dock. We had to disconnect a lot of it or something, I wasn't paying much attention at that point. So, we removed my uncles, his brothers (he has the pontoon and jetski), their neighbor/friends, and ours. Easy work this year, though the other four (my father, uncle, his brother, and their friend/neighbor) had a harder time I think with their age and strength. I think they were all hoping that my cousin (uncle's son) would grow up faster (I think he'll be five in January, or maybe six, five I'm sure though), so yeah. My weekend was spent moving piers and boatlifts. Fun? Somewhat. Freezing like a few years ago? No. Now to wait until we put it all back in in 09...

Welcome to the At-Sign Report. I am going to be posting blog updates on either a weekly basis, or whenever I can remember to post an entry. This week, I posted in the What PM Title Do You Want? topic: I actually got this PM earlier today. I just bought the Universe... with 55555's money. On monday I started college. I'm taking a Graphic Design class, learning how to use Adobe Indesign. I'm in an art class, where we're talking about lines. Fun Stuff. My last class that I'm enrolled in is an online English class. So far its a bit more interesting than a standard class, although there is a bit more work involved. On top of school, I also have work. I've spent a lot of time cleaning up the entrances of the store, picking up trash, moving carts from the parking lot into the store, cleaning fitting rooms, yadda, yadda, yadda.

Do you think I'm boring? BESIDES the things about Amanda and my life. I'm talking about stuff like my movies, art, Bionicle, Transformers, etc. It's just that they don't get a lot of attention. I'm not mad, I'm just wondering. Also, I'm trying to find my new colors and color blend for my posts and entries. I have thought of these - Red and Regular Amphilus Dark Blue Red and Gray Regular Amphilus Dark Blue and Light Grey Regular Amphilus Dark Blue Lighter Blue Dark Red Just Black See ya.

Yes, you can. Now, that would be great to put on a resume (sp)... I wonder, should I do it? Sorry if this counts as religious discussion, in which case, please delete this or notify me so I can delete it admins/mods/anyone with power.

You gotta love Adobe Premier Elements. I would have made them both better, but all I had was 50 minutes to make them. It was pure coincidence that the both had the same number of frames. Argy

And I don't even have to pay for plane tickets! Cuz I live about 2 miles away! So if you look for me, good luck. I'll be the blond kid in the Mariners T-shirt. One of the many blond kids with Mariners T-shirts.

Just finished composing Epic Journey Track 7, and finished editing Epic Journey Track 3. Previews of both songs have been posted on nathan8472.com with the other four completed songs, and I encourage you to check them out. Particularly Track 7, because it gave me quite the adrenaline rush. I am still in need of names for Tracks 2-8, so if you have any suggestions at all, please suggest them. I now officially have 10 days to start and finish Track 8 (already have the whole song in my head, so it should be a bit easier), finish editing Track 4, create an album cover, buy CDs and cases, and then get everything organized. Psshh, and you thought your life was busy. Argy

My dad's been gone all this past week, and as has been tradition since I've been alive, he brought me a little present when he got back. The present? 2000 Wii Shop points. A wonderful present for me, as I'll be getting a Wii next month. Argy

I incredibly swamped right now. Schoolwork isn't letting up at all, and between Epic Journey and extra-curricular activities; I've been really busy. I've been tired all week, even though I've been getting more than enough sleep. BZPower, for the moment has been pushed to secondary priority, and thanks to Kohaku for understanding that. As he said; Real Life > BZPower. Just the same, I look forward to being able to spend all my time on BZP once again. We got a Wii for our Youth Center, and its premier was last night. I work there, occasionally, but I chose to work that night specifically because of the Wii. My youth pastor, who runs the place, basically let me take charge of it, and it was fun to cream little kids at Wii Sports (though a few gave me a good run for my money). Also managed to bowl a perfect game in bowling; something that I could never do in real life. Argy

42 Cower in fear of the great number! The meaning of life! The universe! AND EVERYTHING!!! Look at the number of entries in this blog. Blink. Look again. Have a heart attack as you realize that you are looking at the meaning of life! The universe! AND EVERYTHING!!! It's true. I met and old man on a mountain once. I asked him what the meaning of life was. He said 42. This entry therefore must have some importance. Somehow. Dunno how. Someting to do with toasters though. Y'now what I like on toast? Jam. Mmm. Jam made from blackberries. Except I don't like picking blackberries. Too many thorns. Like cacti. Cacti are spiky. Like Bionicle gears. Gears have gone exctinct though. They're all gone now. Pity. Ah well. Like dinosaurs. Man, those things are ugly. Like lizards...oh, wait. Y'now, lizards are like Pokemon. I've spent over 609 hours on those games. Why are there 60 minutes in an hour, anyways? Why not 50 or 48909876543212345678902345678876554757654745675467 minutes? That's a big number. I bet there's a toaster with that many watts somewhere. Y'now what I like on toast? Jam. Mmm.

Let us remember what happened this day 7 long years ago. :flagusa:

Well, just got it back today. I took it to a music store to get it fixed several days ago. One of the wires to the volume got disconnected and shredded somehow. The repairs only cost $15, but I'm just happy that a year old problem has finally been solved. I plugged it into my dad's Mac today, and started playing it through GarageBand. One thing that you may not know about GarageBand is that it works just like a regular amp for instruments that you plug in. I can choose from, and customize, hundreds of different settings for the guitar sounds, and you can bet that my guitar will be featured (with me playing) on one of my future GarageBand songs. Argy

I've been out of town since Thursday, and I haven't really been able to get to the computer much. As such, unfortunately, there won't be any MOCotW tomorrow. I can either do it Tuesday, or I can just skip this week and continue next Sunday. Comment here with your vote, it doesn't really matter either way to me. Once again, sorry for any inconvenience this causes. Argy

Middle School : Day 1 Well, here I am. Going from kid to... older kid. The first day was fine. It was basically the same thing in every class. Rules. Syllabuses. Etc. I "love" all of my classes, except Social Studies. And Photography is a bit boring (but hopefully it will get better in the future). I don't really miss my friends at all during classes. As long as I have at least person I know in a class. I don't miss recess at all. I have about 45 minutes before classes start and lunch. That's all I need. Its also cool that almost all my friends and other people I know are just around the corner from my locker too ^^. Final class ratings - Photography 2/5 Strings 4/5 Math 4/5 Life Science 4/5 Social Studies 3/5 English 5/5 About Amanda... I rarely saw her... but Its obvious she knows I exist... not in a bad way.

Got a lot of cool school courses, enjoying my time there, and got plenty of things to keep me occupied throughout the day. Also, I proved to a teacher that my note-taking skills rely on the existence of Chaos Theory. It was epic. Life is good. Argy

So I watched the solar eclipse today on my lunch break. It was set up to be a disappointment: the weather was cloudy all day. At one point, not long before we were due for partiality, the clouds burst into a thundering downpour (of which I was blissfully [!] unaware, absorbed in my work trying to convince unseen strangers to insure their own bodies against all manner of mishap and misfortune, a surprisingly challenging task). Soon enough, however, the rain stopped and lunchtime rolled around. I'm going to make note of something here that may seem illogical or even downright silly to some. It just so happens that I do put some stock in numerology, enough to attach significance to (among others) the number 11, especially when paired with another 11. In my work telemarketing, I have to keep a running count of call results in an Excel spreadsheet. The two fastest-growing results are (surprise, surprise) "NO upfront" and just plain "NO." Today, those two figures advanced in lockstep with one another, producing by 12:30 p.m. the combination 11 nos upfront and 11 just plain nos. I hadn't made a sale in quite a while, so I was feeling in need of a break to refresh my winning enthusiasm. On top of that, I was hungry. And, of course, I was itching to catch a glimpse of the aforementioned celestial phenomenon, with its peak occurring at 12:53. So what, you ask, was the significance of the 11/11 combination? Believe it or not, the numerological meaning is Illumination/Illumination. Make of that what you will. For me, it was no irrelevant coincidence. The Sun, our greatest source of illumination, divided into two fullnesses, before and after the eclipse? I don't know if that makes sense to you, but it's a curious thing in any case. Well, after enjoying a lunch of peanut-dried-date-and-apricot trail mix, I headed outdoors in as much a state of non-expectancy as I could muster. I didn't want to get my hopes up, as the cloud cover was still pretty much total. I stood on the rain-soaked sidewalk and peered up at the veiled glow of the Sun. As I watched, the intervening clouds passed thinner, thinner, thinner... until, squinting, I could make out a curiously familiar shape within the radiance -- like the crescent Moon, only amped up a thousand times. My heart thrilled at the spectacle, the awesome rarity of what I was seeing. Truly a significant event; one could hardly pretend otherwise. I basked in the ethereal moment, until the clouds once again passed their veil over the glory of the dance between Sol and Luna. I went inside to the men's room to get some kind of handle on my emotions. Over that moment, I draw my own veil. Such solemn matters of the soul are between a man and his own self. Out of compulsion, I went out to gaze at the phenomenon once more before returning to my work with a renewed will. I was truly a new man, somehow. The rejections came and went, leaving no trace on the clarity of my mind and heart, unmarred by negative emotions of any kind. I went on to shatter my standing record of sales per hour. Yes! Oh, and I also received a reward today, just before leaving work: one day's paid vacation, for exceptional diligence last Saturday. (Saturdays are optional workdays at Midas Touch, so they always have cool incentives and prizes.) Good stuff. I might use it to spend an extended weekend with my mother, who's now here in Finland on her biannual visit to the old country. -BC P.S. Not to belabour the subject of coincidences, but it's worth noting the incredible synchronicity of the ratios between the respective sizes of the Sun and Moon, and their distances from the Earth. 'Tis enough to make one's head go .
