So, whaddya think, how about a early saturday blog entry? Sure! Why not.. i certainly am randomly feeling up to it.. So, hey.. why not rant a little.. after all..its not like im doing anything at the moment, as you might be able to tell. Heh, i was just telling mike.. how... its been a long time since ive done anything productive on my computer... and, thats some-what disapointing, in all honesty. Heh. There are plenty of things i could be doing, yet.. i never really get around to them. I have all this time, yet.. it seems like i have no time. But, im not going to rant about that, because.. i believe it was just a few entries ago that i ranted about my time usage.. So, hey.. why bore myself with typing something again that i've already typed sometime in the past.

Anyways, what was i saying? Meh, i think i was just stating a fact, in which case i shall move on to something else. Perhaps a review of my just ended week... It started out on a Monday, making it a horrifying 5 day week of school, school, and just more school. Monday and Tuesday were pretty uneventful, and then Wednesday Mike, Chris, Wes, Adam, Raymond, Marwin, Tyson and I all went to Universal CityWalk and saw Matrix Revolutions in the IMAX theatre they have there. Woo! That was awesome. I went into the movie not really expecting a whole lot from the plot and the actuall story, just going to see it for the action on a huge screen and i wasnt disapointed. I liked the movie, so... Yet again, screw all the dumb critics.

Thursday... i had a english test and a physics test both of which i found splendidly delightful and pleasantly easy. I love my class schedule this year.. its... a big joke. More then half of my teachers are complete push-overs, and the ones that are not are pretty generous and nice and its easy to get a good grade... Score. Heh...

Friday, or rather.. just a few hours ago.. i went, after school to go take passport photos.... I returned home.. and took a lovely 2 hour nap.. got up... picked up matt and we drove to Carl's Jr. where we met up with the rest of the group... We ate, chatted and then we all headed to kates house where some of us not including me played monopoly and the rest of us watched a movie who's title i have already forgoten. After that, we watched some general tv.. and.. uhm.. i took Marwin home and then went home myself...

Monday i "get" to go to the Swiss consulate in LA to get my passport renewed... oh the oodles of fun that will be. 4 day weekend and i get to knock off one of those days out with a lovely trip to one of my oh so favourite places (thats sarcasm, by the way.) Yes, thats right.. LA, wooo hooo... Not only that, but my sister insists on driving there, thus.. i probably wont even make it there alive. Oh goodie! Heh... more sarcasm and cynicism...

Heh, i think its funny how its either around 2-4 degrees C hotter in my room then throughout the rest of the house, or 2-4 degrees colder in my room then throughout the rest of my house.. like.. right now.. much colder in my room then anywhere else in this house... how random...

Yes, well then... I have this teacher for my government class 1st period, and well he is a complete and total moron. This tuesday we were supposed to start doing presentations on some project. We have yet to start doing that. Additionally, he proposed, in all seriousness, a field trip to the state capital to go watch Schwarzenegger get sworn in on the 17th.. Now, this teacher.. he claims to be excellent at managing time, but cant keep track of it if his life counter on it, cant organize a bunch of presentations he assigned, yet claims to be excellent and performing in last minute planning... So, in reality im sitting there, listening to his little spiel about how he is going to try to get a fieldtrip organized to sacramento in 2 weeks, laughing my ass off in utmost humour possible as i realise.. Oh yes, this is what my class schedule has come down too.. A teacher who is a moron 1st period.. a teacher who supposedly teaches english for 2nd, but shouldn't even be teaching 1st graders.. A teacher 4th period who talks to himself and works out math problems while talking to the white-board and gives multiple choice tests with problems where im told to solve for X... and has only 15 problems on it. Does one expect me really to work out the problem and solve for X, or just plug in numbers for X untill the equation returns true? ... Lets think about that one now.. geee.... i wonder.. Yes... oh the humour.

In the past few days ive had a desire to be off by my own, somewhere out in the middle of nowhere with just myself (i feel this way from time to time, in fact its pretty typical.) I feel like, taking my dads truck and just driving off, maybe out somewhere into the deserts or possibly mountains towards the east from here... Driving by myself, exploring areas.. and.. well, believing that i am the only person around... Not having any human contact whatsoever for a few days to just enjoy the silence the peacefullness of the calm, open, devoid of human nature thats out there... I'd come back with much more appreciation to those around me, im sure... Heh...

I always have these aspirations to become good in something... I have a desire to become much better at writing then i am. I always feel as though i am not able to fully explain my thoughts or to describe what it is i am thinking, what is ticking in my mind.. I envy my friends who have that abilty and can write comical yet truthful and excellent writings... That is a skill i would enjoy having...

Another of these skills i'd enjoy would be having an ability to paint, or rather.. draw... I wish i could turn my imagination, my fantasy, the little worlds in my head into something beautiful and colourful on paper. It would be awesome if i could draw and create this breath-taking scene with beautiful palm trees towering into the sky over a clear yet soothingly blue lake with light yellow sand along its shores. The atmosphere perfectly clear so that even distant objects are in focus and respectively close up, sharper then after many hot and dry days. In the background, sharply rising mountains reaching up into the sky, through the clouds snow capped peaks up in their own little calm and peaceful world above the fluffy and crisp clouds.. How nice it would be to be able to draw such a scene... I should really get into 3d-animation, or rather.. start learning how to model and work with wire-frames and all that lovely stuff.. I think that would be even more satifying then being able to just draw my fantasy worlds... I could walk around in them too... Then, again.. ive been saying that i'd get into 3d-animation for quite some time now, yet... never get any bit closer then the day before. I dont know why exactly that is... maybe im not home enough, and when i am.. not interested enough... Or rather.. im just all talk and no do... After all, it is much easier to just say something then to actually go and set out to do that something... But, that sure isnt a very deep logic...

I enjoy philosophical ideas.. i like pretending im a philosophical person, that i could formulate something in my mind and pose as a philosopher... Heh, rather repetative sentance.. But, hey... Its not like im getting graded on this... Have i mentioned that i have a 4 day weekend this week.. or rather.. right now? Yes, i am rather stoked. Who wouldnt be?

So, my proposed todo list which i doubt i will complete any of is as follows: Read all the assortment of books i have laying around; Become competent in 3d-animation; Become more adept in writing; Do some programming or something, i havent done much of that lately, either. Heh... Someone should put a gun to my head and force to me to these things... I could be playing around with Maya instead of writing or, rather.. ranting right now... In fact.. i believe i just spent around 45 minutes just sitting here.. thinking to myself peacefully... typing some things occasionaly.. and.. just.. pondering away.. Ah yes.. this is rather delighful... No pressure, no stress, no looming need to get some piece of procrastinated work finished... relaxed... lovely.

I do believe, however.. that my energy, or comitment to this entry has faded, or been consumed and i've been cought by the lure of my bed, so i conclude that this entry is finished and i shall go to bed.
