  • Thanksgiving Weekend 2002-10-14 18:23:44 This morning I woke up and was feeling a little bit lousy. I don't know why though. My best guess is that it has something to do with the late nights lately and the cold weather. I'm normally in bed around midnight, but with the Thanksgiving weekend (Canadian, and of course, a 3 day weekend), I've been up to around 2am. Not much difference, but mixing that with colder weather, equals me feeling unhealthy. I should rebound back in 2 days easily. It's just a sore throat and sore muscles. Since I'm almost never sick, I shouldn't have too hard a time getting around. ^_^

    Today, we closed our pool. Yes, the time of the year when all those lucky pool owners have to pack it up and spend their day closing it up for the winter. We were able to complete it pretty quick this year. Normally, with my father leading everyone, we would all get a bunch of headaches and end up feeling lousy. But, I was already feeling lousy. :( Anyways, we've pretty much gotten the hang of it now, and finish in about 3 hours. Didn't help my cold though, working outside.

    ***Watches Samurai Jack for ½ an hour.***

    Anyways, now that my attention's back, how about my site. I'm just not finding the time to work on it. I don't even have too much done on it yet. I want to start working on it, using HTML, but first, I need to learn it. So, I may not work on the site for awhile. :(

    I've been posting a lot in the forum. It's weird, when I first started, I never posted. Now I post about 15 messages a day. My post avearge is so low because I never posted when i first joined. I'm always replying, and seldom make topics of my own. There has also been so many new members too. Seems like more than usual. Probably all those people who stay inside now that it's getting cool outside ^_^. Anyways, I feel like I'm greeting 4 to 5 new people a day. That's a lot! Anyways, I going to have to learn to pull myself away from it more often. It's been taking up a lot of time.

    Time for homework. See ya. ^_^ 
  • It's been 5 days already! 2002-10-08 20:17:03 Here I was thinking it was like yesterday since I made a journal entry, and then I find out it was 5 days ago. I just keep putting it off, until today!

    Damn it! It's bee awhile now, but I'm still getting these stupid e-mails. You see, I receive these regular looking e-mails, they have regular titles, and sometimes even come from people I know. But there is 2 problems with them. One problem is that they're huge. I don't mean what's in them, I mean their file size. They average 150kb. But here's the real catch, there's nothing in them! Completely empty. Not a message, not a picture, and no attachment whatsoever. I even replied once, asking what the hell was going on, and the guy just said he had no idea what I was talking about. But he apologized if he had anything to do with it. Well, I'm still getting them. Who knows when they'll stop...

    I've been spending a lot of time on the Forum at .ORG. Everyone's great there. I feel like they're an extended family. I go on once in the morning, then after school, and go on a little bit after dinner. I don't know how some people manage to keep a high average going. Mines around 3 a day (since when I first joined, I didn't even knew there was a message board). And I'm actually pretty comfortable with that. It's been going up gradually, and that fine with me ^_^.

    I haven't done anything new with the website yet. I just find myself trying to do everything in one day. It's just not possible! And I still haven't even tried to learn HTML. I'll have to work on it during the weekend...

    I don't think I've talked about hockey in any of my journal entries yet. Hockey has been going well. It's harder now, since our age group is 16, 17 and 18. And I'm 16! All the guys are way bigger and you get smashed around pretty easily. But it's fine. Just don't get caught with your head down. You'll wind up on your ass before you know it. And to think, this is a no checking league! That's right, this is houseleague. Rep would be so much tougher. Anyways, it's still too early in the season to know how things will turn out, but I'm hoping for the best.

    I guess I should just put in that school's going fine, and I haven't had too much trouble yet. A lot of homework though.

    Speaking of homework, I guess I should go do that now. 'Till the next time.^_^ 
  • Finally, an update 2002-10-03 19:16:02 Well, it's been a very long time. I would have done more Journal entries but I find I take way too much time to write them. So, I need to do more like what I'm doing today, writing it in the afternoon. I usually write it in the evening, but then I don't get to sleep until quite late.

    Anyways, how about some new stuff?

    I got End of Evangelion on the 26th. I was at the mall buying a new shaver, since my old one decided to not work anymore, literally. So, I went to a few stores and none of them had it. I was getting upset since it had already come out 2 days earlier. But one store that I thought definitely wouldn't have it, did. It was Music World. And it wasn't very expensive either! ^_^ I wasn't able to watch it until night the next day, but it turned out that that was the perfect time anyways. My father had gone to the cottage for the night and the next day, and my brother went to a school dance. Only people home were my mother and I. She was working on her computer upstairs, so, I could watch End of Evangelion all by myself.

    ***I just have to say that in the middle of this I went to go have dinner, and watch the Life & Times of the Royal Canadian Air Farce. I accidently left it on the whole time. ^_^

    Anyways, where was I? Oh ya, I watched EoE and was I surprised. I heard a lot about it, but to what I was expecting I could never really know. It was pretty good. But I was oftenly confused. First of all, the one minute of live footage at the beginning, before the credits, surprised me. I thought I had the wrong movie! Until I saw the title, and the credits started. Then, there was even more live footage near the ending. Here again I thought something was wrong, but Shinji and Rei were talking the whole time, something concerning the reality that we live in. So I understood what was going on. I watched the audio commentary to clear some things up for myself, but after that I was fine. It really is a unique movie!

    I'm making a website! I'm so proud of myself. Unfortunetely, I don't have much time to complete it, so all I have is the front page (not finished) and some other ones off the main oage. My friend's been learning HTML, so I was thinking that I would too. I'm sure it would definitely come in handy. But for now, I'm making it the easy PageBuilder way. Also, my site's on Geocities. I understood from everyone on the Forum that it was the best place to make a free, easy and quick website, and they were right. What even better, is that Geocities doesn't have pop up ads. They just have one advertisement that comes up in the corner, and can be easily exited. I'm going to try and work on it this weekend. ^_^

    Yesterday, I got a new mouse and keyboard for my computer. ^_^ Well, it's not really new, but it's newer than my previous ones. They were part of my dad's computer, but he didn't need them anymore. You see, he has 2 computers now. And having 2 sets of monitors, mouses and keyboards would be quite a pain. So he got one of those switch thingys that connect one set of everything to the 2 computers and all you do is press a button when you want to use the other computer. So, in other, you can't use both at the same time, one or the other (but they're both always on). And I'm pretty thankful for it. I just love the mouse. It has that scrolling button on it, and it's pretty addictive. And the keyboard has a handy Standby button for when I leave, but don't want to turn off my computer.

    That's all for now. Unfortunetely, I lost some good ideas to write about when I breaked for dinner. Losing your train of thought can be quite time consuming. Well, time to go. I've still got some homewrok to do. And hopefully, I'll find time to write my next Journal much sooner than I did with this one. ^_^  
  • Need to learn some self discipline 2002-09-23 22:18:17 Lately I've been getting distracted way too easily. This is an example right now. I should actually be finishing my homework. No such luck. I need to concentrate harder and clear from my mind all distractions. But in my room and house, that's quite hard. Now with .ORG back up, it might as well be impossible. Not that the site being up is a bad thing or anything ^_^. I always focus my thoughts on one thing, then change halfway through. I guess this is all because I try to make myself accomplish too much in such a small space of time, like a regular day. I try to watch some of my favourite shows, but find myself watching even more after that! Then when I need to do homework, I end up either chatting on the internet, watching music videos or browsing the net. It only sinks in that I've expended my time in an inappropriate fashion concerning my present goals. That struggle still lives on inside of me, and to this date, I am still trying to fight it. As many others are trying to do as well I'm sure.

    Not much has happened recently. I normally go camping on the weekends though. We have own some land a couple of hours North and am keeping our trailer on it until we start building a new house. However, going up has been postponed several times lately. Eachtime the weekend pops up, rain is announced. And getting there involves many dirt roads, so I couldn't imagine us getting up very easily. That means we don't go up. I normally prefer to stay home (I'm not much of a camping guy), but as they say: absence makes the heart grow fonder (I think that's it). So, I would enjoy going up once more before the snow hits for the winter.

    End of Evangelion comes out tomorrow! And I would gladly go out and buy it, but I just can't seem to be able to take the time to do that. You know, with my meaningless but busy schedule. I'll probably go buy it on the weekend. Anyways, when I asked all the store owners at the mall if they would have it on time, they couldn't really answer. They weren't sure because they weren't familiar with the title, but said they should have it. But I think they were only taking my word for it, since they knew less than me. 
  • A serious decision 2002-09-16 21:16:43 I think I'm going to start putting some serious thought into these journals. So far, I've just written some experiences and some random thoughts. But I've been reading sone of ErMaC's journals lately, and was extremely impressed. I couldn't beleive how much thought that guy puts into his journals. So I guess you can say that to do this, I was inspired by ErMaC.

    Yesterday, I bought SMS (Super Mario Sunshine). I went to Toys 'r' Us to get. I was just browsing for a present for my brother's birthday, but felt compelled to buy it for myself. I would feel bad about it, but I ended up chosing out NBA 2K2 for him (dad bought it). So I played it today and thought it was pretty good. Using Fludd is a little difficult though, but I'll get the hang of it soon. ^_^

    Today was the usual school day. I got up at 6:30am. I felt so tired, and that continued all day. I get up that early so I don't have to rush in the morning, while getting ready, eating breakfast and watching Sailor Moon. We (my brother and I) carpool with my friends down the street, so everyday our parents rotate driving driving. Nope, you guessed it, can't drive yet. Anyways, this semester isn't that bad. I have computer programming first, then lunch (at 9:41am!). After that, I have French, Math - Functions & Relations, and English. The work load isn't hard yet, but I'm afraid of what the exams will be like.

    At 3:10pm, I normally get home. Luckily, I get to take a bus. Sure it only takes me part of the way home, but it's better than nothing. Once home, my brother and I rotate days on walking our dog, Kiley. She's got to be the sweetest doberman ever. She may not like other dogs, but with people she's a suck. All she want is for someone to pet her. Like 24/7 though! Anyways, I had my snack (mmm... ice cream), and hit the basement. Unfortunetely, since the tv in the basement is in another room than my room, I end up running from my computer to the tv all afternoon. Then it's dinner, homework, and computer again.

    Writing this all down makes me realize how little I accomplish in a regular day of my life. :(
    Oh well, I'll have to try harder. ^_^
