 Random thought of the day:

"I want a girl that makes me smile everytime I think of her"

Surviving on only a handful of words per day can be a bit threatening, especially in life and death situations. I mean, when you're held up, most likely you're either too busy shouting in fear of the person with the gun, or speechless at whatever's happening around you. But that isn't exactly the entire point.

The majority of the human population can survive on as little as 100 words per day, just by answering yes or no to everything asked from them. But the only reason why we talk so much is bent on the fact that we are indeed: BORED.

Like I am today... The creativity has been sucked out from my like a vaccum. I'm just wondering right now... when's ball going to hit me in the head again? Hmm...

 Lately, people have been trying to read me more than usual. I mean, it's really weird, since I don't really take things into much thought anymore, but my old friends seem to think that I'm still the person that can't defend himself from attacks coming from all directions. I mean, I'm alright with people thinking of me in that way, but they should probably know that the stuff that I say are based off of my perspective, and I don't care if you have the "general perspective" and you think you're right because your professor says you're right, it's just uncomfortable to know that you need to smash me right in the face to make yourself feel better.

I don't imply anything, I don't make preassumptions, I don't really do anything anymore. I don't get why people get mad when I ask if such a contest is for exploiting people's talents (which most are) but it's just so common, you just have to ask yourself.

So anyways: Today was pretty fun, did a lot of laps in swimming (32 or so?) and I had to do an essay, but carpool was horrible today. It was probably the only carpool I haven't really talked in. I felt as if my presence was "the annoying little kid that needed to shut up" and well, it ruined my mood for the day.

Oh, and I got called an idiot for giving the idea to add a character map to improve the understanding of relations in a book report. Seriously, it'd give us a D because it's not traditional? Oh god, I can sense the idiocy in that. I need a Red Bull right now. I need something to calm me down so that I don't get mad or anything tomorrow.

Don't worry, I hold grudges, but if it's for something like calling me an idiot, I'll be sure to get back at you for something.

Karl: It's time to step your game up, stop being lazy and start working.

 A small household project I'm conducting. I'm going to be packing up all of the old stuff that I don't need (probably games, clothes, cards, and more) I've got nothing to do, and I need something to innovate. So I'll start with my life style.

Today has been a day of... F.U.C.K.E. In other words: Fun, Understanding, Curiousity, Karl, and Entertainment. It's been a short day, and I've missed alot of things that I shouldn't of. But, the positivity pretty much outweighed the negativity.

The day started off with an interesting conversation about the paranormal. Then math started. We proceeded onto English, but the block wasn't exactly in a "groupy" mood. Our English class got grouped into groups of 6, for our features article. I climbed trees during our half cut, and stared at the sky for a while with my friends, then Lit came, and I just fell asleep. It turns out that Sir Remoto is going to retire and go help the poor... Which means we get a new Lit teacher. It all finished, Kara and Jessie probably have an embarrassing photo of my climbing a tree, but it was all for the report!

Later on, I made a lot of new friends during carpool (Mike, Migs, Leah, and Cat) while we were just messing around during the ride. Most of us were new to each other, and my talkativeness seemed to unite everyone! We talked about a lot of stuff... really... I'm pretty much lost on this topic, so moving on!

I stayed at ATC and read through a 150 page book in two hours... and yeah. I saw an amazing Uke at Lazer for 3.3k including the tuner and case. Need $$$ now. And that's pretty much it...

Oh yeah, the awkward moment was in the bathroom... I actually farted (for the first time) while peeing in the urinal. The person washing his hands looked back at me, and the person to the right of me laughed... actually he giggled, but you get the point.

 I mean, it's been up for quite  while, and I've only heard about it around the early 2000's. It wasn't until recently that I found out about it again (and luckily I'm a blogger this time around as well) but it's weird how trends always manage to die out after a while.

I remember that my last blogging site was Tumblr, I mean, I didn't have a lot of followers because I didn't have a stable base to stand up on. I didn't reblog or repost much of what everyone read, I liked making my own posts from my own experience. And from what I know, people usually use livejournal as a journal, why? Not a lot of people read it supposedly.

Pretty much everyone I know has a Facebook, and nobody blogs there. Sure, you see the occasional rant, but it steams off pretty fast. Then Tumblr. You don't really notice the gems underneath all of the reblogged pictures of "pretty stuff" I mean, I seldomly see texts posts, I only see pictures with love quotes (and ugh, they make me want to throw up) Then there's blogger. Sure, there are those people who use it, but it isn't exactly a stable community.

From what I've seen, this site is an awesome way to keep in touch with your friends, or just have a class blog about anything going on. I reckon all of the good bloggers have moved onto columns (or higher paying jobs) but they still maintain a blog. My favorite blog (Nury Vittachi) is on TypePad, and well, it's worth the read.

I'm not sure if the blogging era is dying out, but personal bloggers have moved onto pictures. Most of the good ones have moved to newspapers, or big sites like Yahoo. There are still a lot of untapped resources, but it's either I can't read them, or they just aren't famous... yet.

 To those of you who think that being creative comes naturally, don't. It takes a lot of work to be creative. You can't just be creative by pooping out ideas that just all come and rush towards you at the speed of light. You have to have a sufficient amount of evidence that can support each of of your ideas. So, if you're planning on making a project about a cell, and you're using a chocolate bar as a model, then you'd better have a good explanation, or else I'm just gonna take that bar from you, and eat it.

As much as I love chocolate, that isn't necessarily what I want to talk about. Earlier today, in my Botany class, we were spread out for group discussions over what project we're planning to accomplish for our final project of the semester. Obviously, we went for an easy topic, "Ecosystems" while our other classmates were just satisfied to go for cells, then cell cycle, the cell theory and that stuff. They had straight forward projects (from what I've heard from) compared to ours, our entire group was bent on doing our own projects. We each had at least one project proposal, however we couldn't decide on which idea was good.

My group mates complained about my ideas being "too creative to be attained", while I called theirs, "too simple for a good grade" which just spurred the entire group into a frenzy wherein me and Wilbur were fighting over the project proposals, while Julianne and Leonard were just sitting there twiddling their thumbs and just laughing at the free entertainment.

Wilbur's project proposal was an aquarium, it was pretty straight forward, since an ecosystem could be easily controlled within the aquarium, all we needed to buy were: fish, plants, turtles, bugs, fish food, an aquarium, and water with a balanced pH level. It would get us a good grade, but in my own opinion, it's a generic idea.

My ideas on the other hand were composed of: Pokemon, Sims, Spore, and studying the ecosystem of the classroom.

In Pokemon, we could hold a battle royale at school (just for the fun of it) but on a serious note, we could display natural selection and artificial selection, and how different habitats affect a Pokemon's strengths and weaknesses. We could also add traits that could be passed down from parent to offspring. We would have 2 players playing Pokemon Diamond//Pearl, while one person played Pokemon Red. One player would be in charge of artificially training their Pokemon through EV's, while the other person would be naturally training his Pokemon casually. The player in Pokemon Red would be the "control group" because IV's and EV's were not present in Pokemon Red Version, but rather, all Pokemon had the same stats no matter what.

My Sims and Spore idea was basically a comparison between these "simulation" games and real life. It's pretty straight forward, but it's more of an observational project (but it'll guarantee people at our booth BECAUSE WE WILL LET PEOPLE PLAY SPORE AND SIMS!)

My study on the ecosystem of the classroom is more of a "creative" way to make an aquarium. In short: The teacher would be a producer, as he feeds information to the students (consumer) and the non living materials being the desks, fans, windows, and stuff like that. We could record the differences in each classroom, like the social levels, reactions to different circumstances, and stuff like that. But this would require an in-depth observation.

Julianne's idea was basically a board game (I'm not sure how it'll work though, but I assume it'll be dungeons and dragons based) and it was basically our fall back plan.

Leonard just laughed at all of the jokes I made during the discussion. And he supports my Pokemon idea!

And it all boiled down to our class discussion: What kind of bender were we? (Avatar the Last Airbender kind of Bender) I was an Air bender... because I'm free spirited, Nico was a Fire bender because he looked like one, and Nino was THE AVATAR because he wanted to be one.

So yeah... I got nothing to do, that's basically why I'm making this blog. It makes my life seem interesting.

For some odd reason, I have a tendency to get myself into extremely awkward situations. Whether it be conversations, project proposals, or just plain walking, I always manage to turn a normal situation into something that people get a chuckle out of. It's not weird or anything to me (anymore) but it's just kind of... how do I put this... awkward.

Just earlier today, I tripped on my own foot while walking towards Xavier after Filipino class (note: I do not have the ability to speak Filipino, but I have the ability to trip on my own foot) I mean, there weren't a lot of people around, but it was really weird nonetheless. Another awkward moment was during my carpool trip, I just kept on yapping to a guy the entire trip, I warned him that I'd probably forget his name in the first hour or so, and I did. I was trying to reassure myself that his name was indeed Warner mid-trip, as we tried to sustain a conversation, but even my reassurance was wrong. When I arrived at my carpool drop off point, I confidently saluted, "See ya Warner!" And he replied, "My name is Wayne!", then obviously I was like "..." and the carpool just left me in the cold wake of time and space to relish in my epic fail that I committed that day.

So yeah, on LiveJournal: I just made this like... today? Because of a class in my school that has a blog wherein they submit their assignments. The idea of having a livejournal of my own immediately sprung into my mind, and now here I am, not on Tumblr anymore, but on a site called,  "LiveJournal"

Also: Tomorrow, I expect to do something really awkward. I'm just a magnet for these kinds of things.

(Yesterday, I was talking to two guys visiting the school about weird stuff... Then I think I asked the guy from Kansas if he's ever been to Philadelphia for a Philly cheese steak... then the awkward silence arose out of the conversation. Luckily I saved myself, because I mentioned that a friend of mine brought one for me from Philadelphia...  except it was soggy from the plane ride...)
