I suppose

Looong time since I've written in this. Since the last post band season is over sadly. Most know about the band and it's achievements so nothing new there. This however did catch my eye:

Whether or not it's true or not doesn't really matter I just think it's interesting.
I don't necessarily believe it being an atheist, but some how I think it would make more sense than the beliefs other people have.
If it's true I think we should be getting on this.
If not it still makes for a good story to read.

Pre-Flagstaff

Next week will be the trip to Flagstaff, Arizona for the BOA Regiona. Excited yet reluctant. Flagstaff is going to be a disappointment, but you know what they say don't assume anything because it makes an ass out of you and me. We'll just have to wait and see. Maybe we can get it together by next week.

The Longest Time

It's been a forever since I've touched this thing.I've been meaning to update it soon, but there was never any time or if there was I was too lazy to.Mostly because I doubt anyone would read this.Other than that Ayala is alright and so is marching band even though I suck.There's really nothing else that happened since whenever the last time I wrote was.Oh yeah, uhhh....Robert Shiau is cool and a true G.There I wrote about you.

300 is gonna be the sht!
Watch the trailer!

Tired

Last time I posted was a long time ago in a far away galaxy.Well since then I've been through 2 band camps, 1 week long camp, and going to start another band camp on Monday.Week long camp was alright down in San Diego with friends.Met cool people and made new friends and got 3 shades darker....then got 1 shade lighter after I took a shower.Well I'm tired...Lates.

Bands, Viruses, Devils, The End

Well it has been quite a long time since the last time I posted on this.Since then I made it into the marching band and Ayala, caught a virus on my computer and now lags like a drunk monkey, June 6, 2006 passed without much incident or the world ending, and the end of Canyon Hills and the beginning of Ayala is closer.I am sad that many of my friends from Canyon Hill will be going to different schools, but I'm more excited to leave Canyon Hills. That still seems quite a ways away though and all I care about right now is fixing my computer.

The Update

Since the last time I posted nothing of importance has happened....except for this:



Yes it is a haircut and no there aren't any highlights Thomas, it's just the light reflecting off it. Most people laugh at it and others think I look like an Asian Fonzie, but I think it makes me look like an old school banchou and if you don't know what that is look it up on google images.The 1st or 2nd image should give you an idea.
That's all for now.Goodluck and goodnight.

Late at night

Tired. 3:19 AM. The whole house is in a silence except my Wynton Marsalis. I want to sleep, but feel a need to be awake, waiting. For what I don't know, but that I waited too long. My song got cut because of a bad download. I need to sleep, want to sleep. Yet something compels me to continue. Willow Weep For Me plays.

In the hail

It started hailing out of no where.I got up from the couch and went outside into the hail.I stood in it with nothing but a shirt, shorts, and sandals.I stood there watching the hail crash into me exploding as it did leaving ice chunks on me.The hail kept on coming harder and faster like the Gods throwing ice at me.I feel nothing and continue to stand there.Next thing I know it turns into rain and I realize that I'm freezing cold.I walk back in shivering then move through my house to the front yard.I looked around and looked as if a very thin sheet of snow had just fallen.Speckles of white on the grass and hail gathered in the grooves of roofs.Beautiful.If I only had a camera.I kept looking on for a bit longer without a thought to disturb the sight.It dawns on me once more that I'm in only a shirt and shorts and walk back in.I walk up to my room grab my jacket and wrap myself in it and started to type this entry.

The Good Things

Too often these days I see people I know, care about fall into pits of depression.Too often we let the good things in our life escape us.In our quest for happiness I see people fall into holes that they've dug themselves.Why focus on the bad things in life?Why don't we do something to fix it?Is it because we're lazy?We work for the things we enjoy, yet more often than not we leave the things that are bad and leave at that.Take whatever it throws and do nothing about it.God forbid we stand up and do something to fix what's wrong.Let our voices be heard.Except we've learned that things will eventually take care of themselves at someone else's expense.Throw trash onto the ground and then the next moment walk right next to a trash can.Leave a table with a mess all over and expect it to be gone the next day ready to be destroyed again.That's not right is it?Of course it's not.I think not having a services like that for an extended amount of time will teach us a good lesson.Then again that could always go the other direction and we do nothing and everything keeps on piling up expecting things to get done automatically. Which leads into what I'm trying to say, which is we do the latter.Just expect it to get done by itself.So why not do something about you situation?Or tell someone, open up to someone and tell them your problems so at least they can try to help you.Though it's not bad to feel in a depressed state once in a while just not all the time.

I hope that the things that I write someone will read and will at least get something out of it.Not just gathering dust and be messages of jibberish of a crazy kid once upon a time.

Apologies if my ranting never makes sense.

1 Year!

Whooo!Celebration for my 1 year old blog!1 year ago today was when I started this blog and from it's humble beginnings became something that probably no one reads or cares about!Yet I still keep blogging for the sake of it.So ceeeeeeelebrate good times come on!

Inferior

I think about my future and where I'm going to end up from things I am doing right now.I have straight A's and people say that I have a natural ability for everything I do.I don't mean to brag and many of you may be envious, but I don't think that it's that great.I mean most people have things they're better at than everything else, right?Even if it isn't academic such as skateboarding, but what about me?Right now for me it seems that everything I do I'll probably do pretty well at leaving me with many job opportunities, which should be great.But I feel like I have no definite future not even a slight glimpse into it.I know what I like such as movies, music, books, food, etc. But I've never made any sort of movie, I'm not that good at playing music, I'm not a good writer(Just look at my blogs.I'm sure I have plenty of spelling and grammatical errors.Look I don't even use paragraphs!), and I'm not the greatest cook in the world.I may be good at everything I do, but I'm only that, good. I'm not excellent or superb at anything I do.I mean sure I have those times when I'm just on a roll with what I'm doing, but those never last long.Even with things that I think I know pretty well if I look into them more I'm only scratching the surface and that I know nothing at all. I feel inferior to everyone else around me. An IQ test will show you that.114?Or somewhere near that number.Maybe it's just too early to tell.Maybe I just need something that I can express all of my ideas through, but until that I'm still going to feel inferior.No one special. Except maybe my hair.

Oh and of course it's raining!Gotta love rain.

The Pain

Over my 3 day weekend I went to Mammoth, which was great.Lots of snowing and fresh powder though I almost froze my fingers off and ate it a couple of times it was fun.It left me with a sore neck so whenever I lay down I have a hard time getting up.Other than that life goes on as normal.

Worthwhile

I have updated this in a long time just because there's been nothing worthwhile to write about.Thoughts come and go, but nothing has held my interest. Maybe it's time to take a risk and do something instead of playing it safe.Maybe speak my mind and not just on this blog.Maybe I'll do something tomorrow.

"If you don't risk anything you risk even more."-Erica Jong

The Grey

Well another week has rolled by and between being stranded at a bowling alley and my tv debut tomorrow there hasn't been anything that exciting.

I have found a cool free album by Danger Mouse that's called The Grey Album.Combines the "White album" by The Beatles and The Black Album by Jay Z.Before you even think that it'll sound bad listen to it first.It's like mixing mayonnaise, soy sauce, and dried bonita mixed together with rice that may sound sick, but you've never tried it have you?It tastes good because I have tried it before.Or like genetically altered fermented soy beans.That's all for now.Until next time

Rant

It's been a over week since I last updated my blog so I feel that I should now.Well a recap on my weekend, which was...nothing really except a piano test that I took on Saturday.I choked on Fur Elise and some other pieces, but I think I did pretty good.

Well back to what I was going to really post.Over the weekend I started to really think about my future and what kind of career I should pursue.My brother's friends came to the house and took the downstairs livingroom, so I decided to come up to my room and soon got bored.So I started looking through everyone's Xangas, Myspaces, etc.One had a post of someone who had came from Troy testing and found that people who went to Troy could go to MIT.I mean I knew Troy was a good school, but never that good.So then I started to think, "If I could get into MIT...If I had a chance to go to MIT by going to Troy then maybe I should at least try."Though if I did go to Troy then I wouldn't be going to Ayala where I could join the marching band and I want to since I wouldn't just want to leave my saxophone behind and as far as I know Troy doesn't have a that great of a band.Then again how much would band really help if I wanted to pursue some other career?Or could I be missing out on meeting lots of new people from not joining the marching band?Or should I go to a completely different school?

I'm still in 8th grade and I don't want to set a career path this early for myself.I'm still thinking about other things I want to do.Possibly a film school?I looked into that and found a great website about people who've gone to film school or something like that and have experienced the process.It sounds hard, but as I was reading people said some things and I thought, "Hey, sounds kind of like me."I have plenty of ideas that I would want to turn into some kind of project such as Flash, but if i got the chance to then I would make into a movie. Some other ones are working in the Video Game industry, which also sounds very similar to the movie industry.Or author?Personally I just want a way to get my ideas out that have been in my head for a while.

Like I said I'm still in 8th grade, but in a few months I'll be in highschool then college and now it seems that time is running out to make a decision.Many of my teachers who are happy with teaching say that they never thought that they'd end up where they are now and that I should just let destiny lead my life, but then again I don't want to end up at the other end where they are now and that they hate their jobs.I don't want to make a decision too early or too late.Now my time is even smaller to make a decision because to get into to Troy I need to take the test to get in and I need to do that in 2 weeks or so I think.So I'm having a hard decision if I should or not, but at the very least I think I should try to see if I can even get in.

Sorry if there are many grammatical errors or if I split the paragraphs wrong or something, I just kind of did what I thought was good because I wasn't thinking about it too much.

And the winds the past few days have been insane.

School Start

1/9/06 was the begining of school and the rest of the year without any other breaks other than springbreak.Last year was alright and this year isn't starting out too badly.Though winter wasn't really as cold as it usually is and hasn't rained as much as it usually does, which is a dissappointment.Other than that I hope that the rest of the year goes as smoothly.I have had my eye on the Creative Muvo or another MP3 player that has at least a gig of memory.So other than that stay don't touch that dial until my next post and if you still have a dial on your TV it's time to get a new TV.

Up

Happy New Year's everybody!It is a little late, but better than not saying it right?Well break is going to be over in a couple more days and I haven't started any homework that I should have done.For New Year's though my computer got moved upstairs into my brother's room since he moved out.Now I'm closer to my bed, but other than that there's no real difference.My brother and I did smack a whole bunch of posters on the wall where the bed is and that looks pretty cool.Until next time.
