It's been a good day back here at CU.
I have to say, it has been a good day here at CU. Eventhough I have only been here since around 7 p.m. I went over to see Victoria and help her and Amanda rearrange their room. Pretty tired from it actually. Victoria told me about her weekend, and we talked about us. We are dating now.
That made my day... made my year actually. She is very special me.
My brother got 2nd at the Regional wrestling match. He is now ranked 4th in the state, but the way he is seeded in the brackets he has a very good chance of being in the finals.
This weekend was pretty interesting to say the least. I got to hang out with my Mom, stay up all night and work on the webpage, and talk to a bunch of people. I got to see my Dad at the wrestling match and talk to him. I apologized to him about the way I acted a few days ago and he and my Mom were in the same place for the first time in a while, due to the divorce situation. The wrestling match.
I have a Geography test tuesday, that sucks. Josh and I are going to start working out everyday, starting tomorrow.
Well, not much else to say, goodnight to everyone!

System Link is back...
Well, we finally got system link set back up between our room downstairs and upstairs. I don't know if that is a good thing or not. I was starting to catch up on most of my homework and stuff when we didn't have an xbox in the room... but now, it will be a lot of Halo playing.
I got into an argument with my Dad tonight on the phone. I feel kind of bad about it now, but I don't really think that I should... I didn't do anything wrong. I am just trying to look out for my own future, and it seems like I am being held back by things going wrong at home. I don't want to blame it on him, because I know it isn't his fault, and I know he is going through a confusing time with the divorce and everything... I will call him tomorrow and clear things up.
I am getting into image editing. Hoping to master that design trait. I created a little banner for my Forum, it was created in The Gimp. Pretty simple, just something I made fooling around.
It was an ok Valentines Day. I got to see Victoria, which is all I really wanted for V-Day. I wasn't able to get her anything because of lack in the monetary department, so I feel like shit about that. I got to talk to her tonight too. I think I said some things right, and some things wrong. I said some things that mean one thing, but it's not the way that I meant it. I am trying to be as honest as I can, with no intention of ever hurting you.
I have a quiz in Geography tomorrow. Will suck for sure. Oh, and a test in PowerPoint. Damn it, I forgot about that until right now. That sucks. I should do alright on it anyway. I mean, come on, it's PowerPoint!? I have a bit of studying and reading to do for AFG tomorrow.
I guess we will see what tomorrow brings. Good night.

Inclement Weather...
Damn it. It is snowing. All that means to me is that we might have an inclement weather schedule, and if we have that, it blows, because then we won't get home very soon. This school never cancels, so we can either expect inclement weather or a full day of school. I would rather be on the regular schedule. If I wanted more sleep, I could just go to bed earlier... I just want to get my C++ test out of the way and go home.
The Regional wrestling match isn't until next weekend. Oops.
I don't know what I will do when I get home. Nothing really much to do. But there sure as hell isn't anything to do here, so I am definately going home. Well, there are some things that would keep me from going home. But, as things stand now, I am going home.
Wow, I am just repeating myself over and over. How lame is that?
Well I am going to bed to dream of a certain someone... she knows who she is.
Good night.

Homework like a ma fyacka...
I have been too busy to do anything because of homework. Studying, doing assignments, reading, etc. Sucked.
The Region 3 wrestling match is this weekend at Independence. I am hoping to go to that, because me brother is ranked in the state, and I haven't been to any of his wrestling matches all season.
Victoria and I had a little bit of a disagreement last night.
She doesn't yet know that I am not the kind of person that gets mad over one little thing and drops everything he has to do with a person because they did one thing that he doesn't agree with. When something is as important to me as YOU are Victoria, you can't get rid of me that easily, and you shouldn't worry about me doing something like that... ever. I worry about you sometimes, but I don't want to act overprotective. Because that sucks. I just want to be here for you when you need me. And I will be.
It is tax season. That, believe it or not, is good news. I love getting a tax return. Especially when I get it when I am broke, such as now. Hopefully I get my checks soon. Money is good to have.
Josh's Jeep messed up today. Won't start. I don't know what is wrong with it. Seems like it's not getting fire. The starter turns over, but there isn't any fire to the plugs. We are going to troubleshoot a little tomorrow and see if we can't figure it out.
I have been listening to my Billy Talent CD a lot lately. I've had it for a while, but didn't get into it. It's badass.
I bought a shitload of more DVD-R's. I already had a bunch of DVD+R's. I use them for backing up purposes only, of course.
When I get my tax money I am going to buy an extra 80 gig hard drive to put in my computer, and buy a new video card. And, thinking about buying an LCD monitor. If I did that I would be broke. The only thing I use is the computer though. So to me it'd be worth it. Programming and Website. Music and Video. WWW and E-mail. Messengers and Graphics. Those are the only things I use my computer for. Oh yeah, and of course the creation of documents such as presentations, papers, spreadsheets, etc.
Viruses are bad, mmmkay. But, if you live on this campus and have any version of Microsoft's inferior operating system, aka. Windows, then you are bound to get a virus. But, if you are careful, you won't. If you are searching the web, never answer yes to any pop up windows. Never. Do not install Weatherbug, or any other 'free' software that isn't Open Source. It will give you spyware which slows your computer down, and leads to security holes. I have never had a virus on this computer, because I take the necessary precautions. Oh yeah, update Windows and your Virus protection definitions regularly.
Or, instead of doing all of that, you could come to the bottom of the Science building any thursday of the month at 6 o'clock and get Linux installed on your computer for free. If you do not know what Linux is, or not sure if it will do something in particular that you do all the time, come to a meeting and learn about it. Or go to the club's website Concord LUG on the sidebar, and ask a question on the Forum.
Get Mozilla Firefox for God's sake. There are too many security flaws in Internet Explorer, and it's slow as shit. Firefox is small, fast, dependable, and will do anything the inferior IE will, and more. Why do you settle for less and pay for it, when you can have something better for free?
Benefits>Cost. That's how Americans feel about everything. Do the benefits outweigh the costs? When it comes to software, Microsoft charges for their software, and there is a software out there developed by an unpaid programmer somewhere and it will do everything it will and more, and releases it for free. If you ask me, it seems that every American should be using Linux and Open Source software. It baffles me.
If this blog doesn't seem like it has been updated very frequently, it is because I do a lot of posting in the Forum instead of in here. This is just a journal to keep everyone up-to-date with my life. I just posted a massive rant about computer software. I guess I am just that kind of geek. I am just trying to inform the public of something that should be paid more attention to.
I am doing really well in a few of my classes, and not so good in like 2 of them. I am trying though. Time is a valuable thing.
I am going to go to bed, I have class at 9:30. One of the classes I am doing not-so-good in, and I have a quiz in it that I half-ass studied for. If I don't like the class, I just don't have any motivation to learn the material.
Good night.

Die Troopers Die...
A lot of things in this life are not certain. You can't be certain about, well, certain things. But, when the evidence is there, certainty is no longer important. The only thing important is revenge.
When someone fucks with my friends, with my future, with our future, it becomes personal. So, the only good Democratic thing to do is return the favor.
We are a country founded on christianity. Christianity states to "forgive and forget". If that is the case then why, when we are attacked, we attack back? Because there is no fucking such thing as christianity. Everyone in this world are hypocrits in some way or another. So, since I am an American, I am going to follow the great American tradition of "fighting back".
The Story:
I went to Beckley today, got my hair cut and shit, then came back. I went up to ReCap to hang out. They were getting beer and I didn't feel like drinking, and I was tired as shit anyway, so I came downstairs and took a nap. 2 hours later, Relay calls and says "come up and drink a beer" and "we just beat the shit out of the troopers at Halo 2 on xbox live". I said that I was going to come up, but wasn't going to drink.
Well, we were just hanging out, like we always do, then on the door we hear "knock, knock, knock". That isn't domination code. Three R.A.'s were at the door. We got busted.
The thing is, we weren't being very loud. Last night we were loud as shit and didn't get written up. So we know that it wasn't the neighbors, and the only people that knew were those fucking rich, republican, piece of shit troopers.
After they got their ass beat at Halo, they wouldn't respond to any of our messages, and they haven't answered their phone all night. Pretty fucking obvious if you ask me. They snitched.
They will get what they asked for, in some way or another.
I am on 2 weeks social probation. I can't be in a girl's room, and I can't have a girl in my room. Shit like that. That fucking sucks, true, but when you got heartless fuckers without any dignity turn you in over losing at a fucking video game, it sucks worse.
They better watch their steps, because they are now treading on our territory... and it's a long walk back from hell...

Slacked...
It has been a pretty crazy week. I don't really know what more to say about it. Let's see...
Last thursday I had plans to go home and shite, to get my webpage up to where I could post on it. Friday those plans changed, and I stayed here at Concord for the weekend.
I went over to Victoria's to hang out with her and Andrea, maybe drink a couple. Victoria was mad at me about something and it was kind of an awkward night. While we were over there in her room Relay sent her and instant message saying that they had some beer and we should come over. So, we did. I got kinda slouched.
Friday night = Got fucked up.
Saturday night? = Same as Friday.
Sunday? = 2 or 3.
Monday night? Nope.
Tuesday night? = I got slack toothed.
We at the "Cowboys from Hell" have names for our drinks. They are based off of Dimebag Darrell's 'Black Tooth Grin'.
Crown Royal and Coke = Black Tooth Grin
Jagermeister = Slack Tooth
Jack Daniels = Jack Tooth
Tonight we plan on getting Jack toothed...
Getting drunk while on a hangover... I've did it before, probably will again. I have a lot of shit to do though. Guess I'll try to get it done first... maybe not.
