I have a paper due tomorrow. That's why I blog.

I tried working on it last hour but that didn't work. I have a couple of unfinished paragraphs, and like the topic sentence of each paragraph. Sadly, no supporting details.

You may say, "it's easy to get supporting details." but no. Not for a topic that i could care less about. The sad part is that i got to pick my topic.

It's a persuasive essay. What makes this hard? Cause I didn't have an opinion on the "topics" that she gave, or I didn't have enough support to write a two page paper, for that's how long it is suppose to be. Oh well.

I better get back to it. I usually write something pretty good after I blog. Maybe it's because I have been typing. Maybe my fingers are like, "Oh. That's what a keyboard feels like... lets type something about this topic."

Alright.

Bye.

So how's it goin'?

Apparently when I don't blog, other people don't blog. Except Airjohn. Which makes me giggle about Mini Mart changing its name to Loaf n' Jug.

So anyways. I haven't been blogging. With reason that video games consumed me. So I was going to update earlier (like a week ago) and I even got to typing and was typing and then something distracted me and I just like, "screw it" and i closed my browser and focussed all my attention to what distracted me.

Sam Goody is closing (at least I don't think it has closed yet) and is have a 40-60% off sale, on everything in the store. So I had to check it out when we walked by it. I went in, and just so happens, in the CDs, I notice a sign that says "FM Static." For those of you who don't know, I like Thousand Foot Krutch. And also for those that don't know, FM Static is a side project of the lead singer and the drummer from TFK. So I bought it. Different sound.

FM Static is more pop rock, while Thousand Foot Krutch is a lot more rocky. Did I explain that well enough. Anways, FMS album is good, but short. It was in my CD player for a long time. Mmmm. Good times.

I've been neglecting my computer, like I've neglected blogging. I probably have viruses all ove rmy compter. My bro wanted me to use a certain software, but I forget what it is called. A software to scan my computer. And I still hate Norton.

Anyways. I think I'm gonna saddle up.

Later.

So I decided to update you on my condition. Well I'm finally not sick. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't hear out of my left ear, so if you talk to me and i ignore you, move to the right side.

I'm also out of my medication that's suppose to make my ear infection go away. That's a bummer. I didn't use the pain pills at all... for i had no pain, and no diarriah. But I can't hear out of my left ear. I think I stated that.

My ear iches, whcih can be a sign of healing. Anyways, enough of infectous ears.

Basically I went and saw the dentist yesterday, and i went to see the eye doctor today. Both went well. I might have to see a doctor on Monday about this ear. It's kinda annoying. You feel as though you aren't in the conversation, when you are having a conversation, when you can't hear out of one ear. So that's kinda weird.

And I'm gonna eat some food.

So today I didn't go to school. My dad called in for me. I also called into Target and told them I was too sick to work. Probably a good thing.

Last night, I went to work, they said the first two people done with their zones could just leave. I was the first one done, that was allowed to leave (managers and my brother in electronics couldn't leave). So I got to leave at 8:30. Good thing.

While I was zoning, I started not being able to hear out of my ear. As I was driving home, my ear started hurting. I got home, and it hurt really bad. There is no possible way to ignore an ear ach that is constant. I tried. I couldn't sleep, until i somehow fell asleep at like 1:30. Than woke up at 4:30, in the morning.

My ear didn't hurt, but I didn't get anymore sleep, until like 7:00... I had to wake up at 7:45 for school. So I just had my dad call the school for me, and than set up a doctors appointment.

Went in at 10:30... which kinda sucked because I didn't get anymore sleep. The nurse took my blood pressure, weight, pulse, etc. I'm healthy apparently. The doctor comes in, asks me whats wrong. Well my ear hurt last night and I couldn't hear out of it, but now I can't hear out of it, but it doesn't hurt... unless i hic-up.

So he pops me up on the table, and points the light thing into my non-infected ear, and than goes over to the infected one and goes something along the lines of "holy cow. Do you(my dad) want to see this." and so my dad looks and the dr explains that my ear should be grey on the inside... apprently my ear was really red on the inside. Which means I have a Middle Ear Infection.

Now since I'm allergic to Penisellen(i can't spell. I think you can figure it out) which would have been the easy way and less exspensive way, I had to go with some pills. Now apparently they are suppose to cause pain, and diahria(my spelling is way off today... I'm sick, I have an excuse) so he also prescribes me some pain killers... that make me sleepy.

Thus far, I've felt no pain (well no new pain) and no diahria. And the pain killers didn't make me sleepy.

So yeah. That's my sick day story. I also finished watching the Roughnecks and i forgot that the series stops at a cliffhanger... which kinda sucks because the series was canceled. Talk about disappointing.

Well I'm probably gonna head off to bed.

So I was debating whether or not to finish my project, or blog. I decided on blogging. But I have a battle project due tomorrow.

It's on the Battle of El Alamein. It's a World War II battle fought in Egypt. It's an interesting battle. I have to do it with a partner. I picked the wrong person as my partner. I thought I might have picked a good partner, because he said he was interested in WWII battles, but really, he hasn't done much, except complain that he is tired. Sometimes you just pick the wrong partners.

Anyways, I'm going to move onto something for interesting. Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles has to be one of the best TV series I have ever seen. That's why I bought it on DVD when I heard that it came out on DVD.

Oh man. It's even better than I remember. Probably the best animated series ever. It's CGI animated. I forget sometimes that it's animated, because the animation and graphics, and voice acting is so good. The plot and dialogue is awsome.

It's not like the Starship Trooper movies. The movies sucked pretty bad, but the series is awsome. The series is based more on the book than the movies were.

On Monday, when I woke up, I felt fine. I went to school and was fine. By 7th period, my throat kinda hurt. I get home, throat still kinda hurt. After supper, throat hurt, and was kinda tired. Around 9:00 I was kinda sivering, and I went to bed.

Fell asleep and woke up an hour and a half later. Kinda was sweating and I had a fever and sivering at the same time. I think I feel asleep. not quite sure. I woke up again (if I fell asleep) at 1:30 and kinda sat in the living room, because it was kinda cool in there, vs. my hot room from my fever.

I went to bed and left door to room open to cool it off., Fell asleep til 4:30. Kinda wresled around a little, and i realized my parents got up, which was at 5:45. It was a downer cause I had to get up in two hours.

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep, and went to check my clock, and it said 9:30... 2nd period started at 9:15. I arrived at school at 10.

So I'm sick again. Last night I had a head ach, and a scratchy throat, and was tired. Today i have just a scratchy throat... and a project to finish for school.

Which I'm gonna do now so bye.

I went and did my blog reading today.

I got a little behind, but that's ok, because the only person that actually updated, was Air John. Pete did, but he was updating about how he should update, and i agree, he should update.

I'm debating if I should get an IPod Video, 30 gb. Mainly just because I'm getting tired of looking at my Mini and going, "Oh... you're almost full. I should've gotten the 6 gb." But now they don't make Mini's anymore. And Nanos only go up to 4 gb.

I really hate my ITrip. It doesn't work very well. I have troubles making it work on my radio in my room. I haven't tried it in my car lately. I assume the worst for it. Oh well.

Then I just ordered a recharger so i can just plug it in at home to charge it, vs. plugging it into my computer, while it is on and charging it. $35 with shipping. Killer. I was gonna do the 2-3 day shipping, but it would have been $43. And that number I did not like. I didn't even like the $35 number for the 3-5 day shipping. Oh well. The base price for it was $25, so shipping is murder. I need to stop buying so much crap. My last pay check didn't even reach 200 bucks.

So I was reading Air John's blog and he mentioned the OK Go, band. So I was like, "I'll check them out." and so i went to their site, clicked on music, and listened to "Invincible" and I must say, it was a really good song.

Then I went and updated my blog, just now. This here post.

Today I cleaned my computer and my computer desk. I deleted a bunch of crap from my computer. Then I got rid of a bunch of crap from my desk. Then I went shopping online for an IPod charger. Then I played some Starcraft... who would have thought that with all the games that I have, I picked an eight year old game. I think it's eight. And now I'm seated before the computer typing a blog.

I'm boring probably. That's ok. I'm gonna watch a DVD.

Enjoy the rest of the Super Bowl, if you are watching it, or if not, then enjoy the rest of the evening.

As some of you may know, I'm a pretty notorious cheater.

Starcraft, i typed in the magic words, "power overwhelming" and "show me the money". On Diablo II, I used Jamella Editor. In Castlevania, I used the duping items cheat. Twisted Metal, I used the button combinition, hold down all shoulderbuttons, up, down, left, right, right, left, down, up. On Final Fantasy VII, I used the GameShark (kinda sucks now because i lost the little thing that pops into the memory card slot).

So what am I getting at? I'm getting at online cheating. You won't catch me cheating while going against other players. You won't see me using map hack, or morph hacks, or map hacks, or stuff like that, online.

The way that I look at it, I'm cheating myself when i cheat on single player. When I play online, I'm cheating other's of a good time. So to all the hackers out there for Counter Strike, Diablo, Starcraft, World of Warcraft, etc., stop it.

Number one, you're consuming the time of the developers, so that they are working on patches for the game, instead of creating new and more fun games, and second, your cheating others of a good time. and third, when someone actually has skill, they are called hackers, when they actually aren't. That's my basic opinion on cheating.

I actually did play through the storyline of Starcraft without using "power overwhelming"... just a couple of "whats mine is mine" and very very very few "show me the money"s. I think I died a few times. I don't remember. It was last summer.

And my dog is trying to steal my stuffed animals. I really likes my tiger one. He knows that that one is forbidden, completely. He can't even put it in his mouth.

Well my contacts are bugging me, so i'm gonna take them out and go to bed.

I decided on blogging. I really just needed to start doing something else.

Today was spent working on a new website that I'm doing. Sadly I didn't get very much accomplished. I've basically spent about 3 hours trying to make a border for the website, and figure out how the artwork theme should be. So far I haven't gotten much.

I want this site to be as perfect as i can make it. As advance as i can make it, without making it bad. So perfect that the navigation and graphics, and content flow so well.

I realize simplicity can be the best thing for a website. I mean look at my site. It's simple but done well(at least in my opinion).

But the site I'm designing now is to get me out of the rut of just having a banner on top, navigation to the left and main body in center. It seems all the sites i desgn end up like that. Mainly because it's almost the perfect design.

The site I'm designing does use that layout, kinda, but not really. I'm "enhancing" it to the next level. And graphics is the key to it. So far my graphics haven't turned out that well. I have three fairly good borders and they would look good on the site... but the look isn't what I was looking for. Maybe I need to try a new color scheme. I don't know.

I'm gonna post a link to a picture of the three different versions, and you can tell me what you think. Tell me whether I should change the color scheme (it's blue, gray, and black pretty much now) or if the banner or logo needs to change. I don't know. They look alright, but they don't really go well together. I need to think of something.

<Links removed since I don't have the screenshots>

Well here's version1, Version 2, version 3. In version three, I can't think of what to do with the left border, so i just left it for now.

Well I'm gonna probably go play some animal crossing or something. I have to work tomorrow and Saturday, so that's kinda a bummer.

Well have a nice weekend and probably week and maybe even 2 weeks.

Sorry, i forgot something. With my DS, and Mario Cart, My friend code is 025833069253.

I already added you, pete.

So i've been feeling pretty crappy for the last couple of days.

Sunday, during the day, I felt fine, then evening came, and I was shiverring like it was 0 degrees. So I turned on my space heater and slept, and then i was sweating like crazy but still shivering, and whenever I closed my eyes, I dreamed... but i wasn't sleeping, and i was aware that it wasn't real, and i opened by eyes, and i would be laying on my bed in my room, i close my eyes again and back to the "dream" of knowing that i'm awake.

The dream, was just wierd. I don't understand it. Wierd. It included me, but wierd.

Moving on to day two. Monday. Well after about 2-3 hours of sleep, I was still kinda cold, and now i had a sore throat, and my chest would hurt whenever i coughed. Raspy voice, also. I had to work that day, which i felt fine, except i had a raspy voice so it was kinda wierd helping people, and talking over the walkie.

Day three, Tuesday. Nose was runnin' a little bit. Still hurt when cough. Raspy voice. Sore throat. Other symptums. Day four, Wed. Same old same old. Not cold. Wasn't cold on tues, either. Tired though.

Moving on today. Well it's nice, because my throught doesn't hurt, although chest still hurts when i cough. My nose isn't stuffy or running. Tired though. I slept for about 12 hours last night, and i'm still tired. I don't want to work tonight.

I hope I feel all better tomorrow, because we leave for At Any Cost tomorrow. Fun week end.

well I'm gonna let you go back to your life.

Bye.

Yay! One of the first ones to blog on this new year.

Anyways, I'm running on low, because I got three hours of sleep last night. Why, you ask? It's not like i wanted to get only three hours. I went to bed at 10:45... I feel asleep at about 3:45. What happened? Well couldn't sleep at all.

I was laying there for a long time, then about 12:30 I'm like, I'm going to read. So I read two chapters in my book and felt I should go to bed. Still couldn't sleep.

My mind still racing about. I was laying threr for a while, and then I'm like, still not tired, gonna watch some TV. Watched some family guy and futurama, then nothing.

Then I'm laying there again, and I just started talking to God. After that I fell right asleep. Sadly I had to wake up at 6:45. Had to go to work. :P

I had plenty of energy, until about 3:00 in the afternoon, when sleepiness hit me, and well, I wasn't aware of what I was doing anymore.

I went home at 4:30, when I got off work... actually I stopped at Rock 30 and bought an XBox for a friend, but then I went home and slept. for about two hours, and then I had to eat, and then after I ate, friends showed up, because I was hosting a New Years Party.

So now it's 1:25 and I have to run powerpoint for churchypoo tomorrow. Apparently we are only having one service tomorrow, at 9:30. Running Powerpoint has it's perks for a day like when we have only one service. I can show up at 9:25 and still get third row, center. And now for what's on Roy's mind.

Lots of things are on Roy's mind. So much that I think I could write a novel. It mainly involves how idiotic American's can be. But I'm not gonna rant about that. I will tell you a story about how my brother was working in electronics, and a person hung up on him while talking to him on the phone.

He wanted a raincheck. For those of you who don't know, rainchecks are slips of paper, that have a barcode, that gives you the sale price of an item that we ran out of, while it was on sale, at a later date when we have the item again.

The person wanted a raincheck... over the phone. Sorry, but technology is advance, but not so advance that we can send slips of paper through the phone, without a fax machine.

Another Guest (customer) called on of my coworders retarded, and wanted to see the manager. I have lots of stupid stories from work, but I will save those for another time.

I've really like the Castlevania games. I've really stumbled into them, recently. After I bought Curse of Darkness, I had to play all of the Castlevania games... in chronological order. So I'm starting with Lament of Innocence, which I am almost finished with, and ending with Dawn of Sorrow, which I will buy for my DS soon.

Yes I bought a DS. I have no games for it right now, but I have one.

I also bought a PSP. Why do you ask? I ask myself the same question, now.

I actually bought the PSP awhile back, and I bought Twisted Metal and Burnout. I beat Twisted Metal, which was a fun game. I love the series. Don't really like TM Black... too gruesome for me.

Burnout is fun, except the have too many Crash events. 100 Crash events, and only 75 of the other events... that are way more fun. I mean, for Crash, I have to wait about 60 seconds for the loading to finish, and then I crash... which takes about 30 seconds. And then I have to wait 60 more seconds after the event, and then the process repeats. So it gets annoying. And Crash gets way to repetitious (beyound me if that is spelt correctly... maybe it's not a word).

Oh well. Maybe I'll turn around and sell my PSP. We'll see what will happen. Maybe they'll come out with a game that I will want for the PSP. Whatevs.

There's a lot of games that I want for the DS. I just need to buy them.

Anyways, I better wonder off to bed.

Happy New Year, peeps.
