Five Subject Binder/Plans For World Peace/Writing Plan

So not very many people read my short story but I did like typeing it up and I remember how cool it felt when I wrote it. I never got my Yellow Legal Pad but I did find this awsome Five Subject Binder that I would like to write my stories on. I have said how much of a hopeless romantic I am or you can atleast guess so you can probably tell how all of my characters are going to be. The short story that I did made it preaty clear that I have no Game at all thats why I did a character that was also extreamly bad with wemon (but somehow better than me?). I was thinking of doing a book now and mabey putting my chapters up on this blog or mabey just writing another short story for now. In the book that im thinking the chacter already got the girl and is more about deciding if mabey he picked wrong. I dont realy have anything planned for a short story but since its a short story it shouldnt be hard to figure somthing out. So if any of the 3 readers can tell me what they think I should do or just have some ideas for stories put it on a comment or catch me if you ever see me and say "hey I have an Idea you are going to love". No dont say that say somthing else that will tell me what you think but you know what to do. Fire Cracker OUT!!!!!!

Old Short Story



William Shakespear said "Be not afraid of greatness, Some ar born great, Some achieve greatness, Some have greatness thrust upon them". Few ever see the the sadness in these words. Achieveing greatness is somthing mearly spoken. Nothing is ever said of those who stride for greatness with every breath they take and movement they make and still never get there. All that leaves is wishing for greatness but greatness is not happiness. Usualy greatness comes at the expense of any chance at true happiness. Just take the great warriors, philosophers, and poets. People rarely get both but the story isnt about those people who have to choose or who luckly get both if any thing its about the people who have neather but want both. Then agin no man would strive for greatness without reason, be it love or pride or some other thing that makes the world move. Those are the things one realy strives to and wishes for. Then in reality I cant say this story is anything like that.
I have never found that thing that ticks in the heart of people that would make me move to its seemingly irregular beat. Mabey love would make me move? But then agin in the seventeen years of my life I hadnt had a girlfriend even once. Dont get me wrong there were plenty of girls that I liked but somehow it just never worked out. Thats just another sad fact to add to my inconceivably long list of sad facts about my life. Thats probably why on my seventeenth birthday I blew out the candels and made a wish. Most wishes never come true but ocasionaly when a person spontaniously wishes for somthing in such an utterly stupid way it has a chance of actualy happening. The one thing to say about love is that it has the fewist and most regrets.
That idea sliped all the way out of my head in a very quick manner almost like an olympic runner sprinting full speed through a shortened finnish line as I stood in a line for hours on my birthday for the opening of a new game. My parents didnt mind becouse they got to through the annual birthday party that only involved them and my three siblings. My two brothers were compleat jocks who had played sports in high school and still looked like they could suit up and play at any momment. Even my older sister is kind of a jock but she is also top of her class so its ok for her. My friends could never make it to my party becouse of one thing or another this year it was work but I cant expect alot when my birthday is in the middle of summer.
It was only natural that I would be standing in line for this game even if it is my birthday. This game is the biggest MMORPG game to come out to date and I was a total game freak. Now as games go I had played alot, a whole lot but I could never finnish the games becouse I would get bored and start a new one. Besides games where a good distraction from my mundane real life that seemed to go nowhere and achieve nothing. Atleast with games I could see my level and notice my improvement.
The only real surprise to the usual group of obsessed gamers in line for the "C9" opening was this supper cute girl standing in front of me in line. I say cute but she was realy amazing, not just amazingly cute for the group of people but the kind of girl who your eyes are drawn to no matter where you are. It seemed odd to me for a girl that good looking to be here with a group of game nerds like us. What was even wierder was the fact that she turned around and started talking about how awsome "C9" was going to be. Im a game freak like the rest but the only real evidence of that would be the T-shirt I was wearing for last years big game. But I was still a compleat game freak at heart so the suddenness of this amazing girl turning and talking in compleatly perfect game speak I just couldnt control myself and started chuckeling. She turned red and then turned around. I regained my composure and started up my end of the conversation with a basic gamer question "So what class are you going to be?". There were many classes to games like "C9" and girls usualy picked clerics for healing or mages for damage so in a way I was kind of curious what a beauty like her would pick. She turned around agin happy to continue the conversation and said somthing I however didnt expect "Im going to be a tall blond warrior!" I just couldnt help it and started to chuckle agin. She was a short girl with long brown hair and she looked more like a princess that a warrior. She turned red agin and in a squeaky voice that was defenatly tented with anger she said "And what are you going to be?"
I didnt realy have to tink about it eather so I said with a smile still on my face "Probably a Mage" She seemed satisfied after hearing that. We continued to talk about the game, other games we had played, movies we liked, favorite foods even. We talked untill both of us had already gotten the game and were about to part ways in the parking lot half a day had passed since we started talking in line. She was walking away when I called after her "My name's Ray" She turned with that same dazzling smile said "My names Apple".
I went home and instaled the game but I still felt wierd about it after all Apple couldnt be her real name. I had installed lots of games before but I was never this impatient to play one. Over the next month of my summer break I played the game much more than I normaly would but mostly I was looking for a tall blond female warrior. I had killed so much time that the new school year had just crept up on me at an astonishing rate. I was sad that I had not seen her on the game even though its a huge game played by millions and millions of people and angry at myself for thinking that a beautiful girl like that who was also cool enough to know about games would like a guy like me. To be honest I was a little mad at her to for giveing me a fake name and a bad one at that.
So I went back to school and waded through the crowd of people forceing there way to front to find there name on a class registry that would tell you your homeroom. I hated crowds and when I say hated I mean I realy hated crowds so I just sat down on a bench that was conviently located 50 yards away from the crowd and waited for them to dissperse. I wasnt realy worried about being tardy since teacher would never consider you tardy on the first day at our school. When the group died down into just a few people who were having trouble finding there name I got up walked over and just as I hoped study hall first period. Study hall is a simple class that is the same no mater what school you go to. The student go in work on things from other classes or just relax and hang with there friends. I personaly wanted the class first period becouse it would let me catch up on the home work from the night before that I didnt do becouse I was playing a game. I scanned the list to see if any of my friends had the class too. I didnt see there names but I did however find one name that seemed both un-real and predictable given the flow of my story book fate. It seems she wasnt lieing about her name being Apple and now that I think about it that makes sense. Who would make up such a wierd name for a lie.

I nearly skipped to class and oddly enough I wasnt late. It seems everyone was checking out ther lockers so I was the only one in the class well except for the brown haired beauty reading a book at the back of class. I walked up and took the desk right in front of her. I couldnt help but laugh out loud at how seriously she was reading this book. The laugh broke her trance and she droped the book or as it would turn out books. It looked like somthing out of a bad tv show but I reached down to help her with her books. For a second our hands touched as we both reached for the same book. As I picked it up and grabed the other aswell she looked at me, turned red, then said "You!?" I chuckled as I tend to do around this girl and joked in a questioning tone "Me!?" The big book was somting I didnt pay much atention to despite its huge size it might have been "War And Peace" but the second book was the realy interesting one that somehow made my chuckle turn into a full out laugh. I handed her back both books and looked her right in the eye when I handed her back the "C9 Player Tips Book". I had her about the Player Tips Books for major games and how they were writen by groups of experienced gamers who had discoverd secrets and wanted to share them while makeing alittle money. She was still red when she said in her familarly squeaky voice "Im not good at the game so......" I just smiled and said the first thing that poped into my head "Realy I thought it was preaty easy but thats just me." She looked like she was going to get mad agin and even though I did like her cute squeaky angry voice I decided it would be better to stay on her good side. "Then do you want to team up?" She didnt seem aginst the idea but her pride wouldnt let her say otherwise "You just need my help dont you?" Ofcourse I just went with it "You are so right, I need a beautiful brown haired partner who happens to be a blond haired warrior." She blushed and I did to when I realized what I had just said.

She was about to say somthing but just then the bell rang for class and almost as if on key students started fileing in through the door at an alarming rate. I was self concious about what I had said to her for the rest of the day so we didnt talk much even though we had two more classes together. I sat in my usual desk and watched the guys go to the back of the room to hit on the new girl and the girls go to try to make friends. Somehow in the chaos of it all I found time to slip her my username and when I would be online. When I did she read it, looked at me, and then nodded.

I went home as quickly as possible, threw my bag on the bed, and started up my computer that was covered in old game stickers. The time I told her I would be on was close so I logged in quick and clicked on my character who looked exactly like me thinks to the facial desighn system to the "C9". My character was Impressive covered in high level mage robes and carying a high level mage staff. I played alot of games so I knew alot of the secreats to leveling up and aquiring good gear. Add that fact to the crazy amount of time I had been playing this game while looking for the blond female warrior who I was waiting for now. I went ahead and set up my speak line for forming a party so that I could talk to her when she showed up. We had planned to meet infront of the weapons store at four o'clock and it was a little past four now so I had my charater looking all around for this blond warrior. I chuckled when this short brown haired warrior in large armor walked up and looked like she did in real life. I might have been confused on who she was if it werent for the fact that she showed up as a team member and had her chat line open. It kind of startled me though when her voice came through my headset with a very shy "hey..." I just shyly replied "hey" and then a few moments later to prevent an acaward scilence from setting in I said the one thing that somehow balanced out our wierdness "Do you want to go dragon hunting?" I said in a very dorky almost whiney tone. The odd thing is that it may be the only time when a girl will say "Yes!"

3-D Wonderland Adventure Quest

I know the title is awsome so dont be hurt when I tell you thats totaly not what this is. I was thinking about talking about the book im reading now Monstrumologist, the major black eye on my face, the hot blond doctor I went to see for my black eye, but mabey I should stick to the point and talk about my thoughts but not my feelings becouse thats un-manly. I once said somthing or the other about the book I wrote and the book im writing. Where im going with this is simple realy so just listen up or read closely or what ever you do when you pay atention to a blog you 3 readers.

I dont have a sighn off line so Stay Classy Sandieago.

Between a Rock a Hard Place and That Other Thing

So I have officialy started what I call the Procrastination Faze. You see ever since middle school my classes have just seemed extreamly easy or mabey I just stopped caring. Eather way I start these Procrastination Fazes every time there is somthing I want to get acomplished. Now I have ranted several times about my To Do List and at the top of that list is a Big Whopper called SAT Prep that I absolutely have to do if I want to do well on it and do the Move On When Ready Program. The main problem with my Procrastination Fazes are that they are in there on way preaty productive. I need to study for a Big Science Test and what happens? I end up compleating a book that I was formerly procrastinating on reading. Now reading is on my To Do List so it doesnt realy count as procrastination but the scary thing about these Procrastination Fazes is that I acomplish tasks I normaly hate to do. I will clean my room, Finnish writing a short story, or Finaly start my Language Learning Software for Japanese. Pluse with the Procrastination Faze going on you just feal like you are getting things done even when your not. Thats why im labeling this as the Bermuda Triangle of Ideas becouse when you start this Procrastination Faze your ideas start missing and show up much later way shy of there Arrival Date with starving passengers who have all cut off there left leg and eaten it. So now your ideas are one legged, with baggy eye lids, and Scurvey. Since I have run that metaphor into the ground I will end my rant hear for you my dear 3 reader and Say "While time is a myth and You only live once, dont waste it on a false sense of productivity when you can achieve great things. You know what Einstein said "The reason for time is so everything dosnt happen at once" and If you Ask Me No Questions I Will Tell You No Lies. That last part isnt Einstein but dang if it didnt feel right in the momment So Beam Me Up Scotty!

Every Morning I Wake Up

Im not even sure what I mean with that title. It could be a literal meaning given that I do wake up every morning at 6:30 but mabey its figuritive becouse I choose to read Pablo Neruda and ofcourse thats a wake up. Im always talking about the things I read and the things I have to do but im never talking about the stuff that I actualy do so I seem like a realy boring person. That I may be given that I dont try for grand gestures of cool or excitment but I do succeed in providing my life with interesting comentary. Every day I get in an argument with a friend, we get heated up, then cool down and start agin the next period. Now my dear 3 readers let me tell you why im like this. My dad is very out spoken and though he didnt do great in school which my mom mocks him for, he retained all the information and has continued to get smarter. Now my mom was 4th in her class and she wont let me or dad forget it but the main problem is that she didnt retain any of the information and has become dumber everyday since I was born. This sounds bad but you realy dont know what its like, she is a neat freak but also a horder and she is wrong so often that it threatens to bring me to tears. She used to make me watch soap operas with her when I was a kid, now yes that is embaracing but its also one reason for my deep rooted romanticism. Like I said my dad is kind of smart and he is extreamly funny for a 50 somthing year old. Thats probably where my brothers get it from. They both are compleatly halarious especialy my brother Adam who has made my sides hurt from laughter since I was a baby. My dad likes old movies and got me started on watching them so now I love old movies. How am I suposed to relate to modern teens when im a deep rooted romantic who had a love of black and white cinema?

To Late For Valentines Day

This post is not about or going to contain anything to do with Valentines day. I wouldnt touch that subject with a figuritve ten foot pole and the only reason for the name is becouse its no longer Valentines day. I have said that I have a lot of stuff that I have to get done Codeing, Books, ECT.... but I realy cant stress how important it is to get this crap done(terrible use of my usualy very literate vocabulary but Im tired). Im a Junior and I want to do some crapy program that lets you go to college your senior year(agin my bad on the poor word choice) but in order to do it I need a great score on my SAT. Now I believe im of a decent intelect(despite my terrible spelling ofcourse) but with it coming up in less than a month I need to study my A off. The problem is agin there is no time. I get up at 6:30. Then I eat breakfast and get ready for school which I have to be at by 7:30. From there the usual BS with crappy classes till 3:20. Baseball from 3:30 to 6 at earliest. Then work at 6:30 if we get off at the earliest time if not 7:30 sometimes later. I usualy work an hour then go home, eat, and read alittle. Now I have to add study time. Its a little past 10 now and I just got free time to write this. I realy dont have time for this crap but Its important to me. So what should I do stay up later, manage time better, or cut out some reading? If you can think of it let me know cause I Realy Dont Have Time For This Crap.

So All In All

Yesterday I decided to join the Google Code University. I know I have said I was a nerd but im not the cool kind who can write computer code. Im the other kind who just usess it. Being the other kind sucks and I dont understand most of the language necessary to do it. So All in All just add it to the list of things I still have to do "Frig!" Lets see theres there are two books I have to read, I have to start my SAT practice system, Beat a game, Catch up on shows, Stay in shape for baseball, Start writing my new book, Finnish some work at my part-time job, Keep writing these posts, Socialize with friends I think I have, Do a Black History month project, Try to find a girl who is worth hitting on, Practice guitar, Catch up on some sleep(HA), Find some quite time, Study for tests, Put on 10 pounds, Learn to dance better, Organize a camping trip in this still cold weather, Decide on potential colleges, Find a date for prom if I go(I can go with this cool friend of mine but she will probably have a date by then and I dont want to go with a friend), Buy a yellow legal pad, Start cooking for the family, Plan time spending endevor with father that isnt sky diveing, Join the EFF, and To top it off Learn How To Write Computer Code. So All In All not to much to do. What do you think?

Nerd Princess

I just finished the book Little Brother and this book like most epic storys lets the guy get the girl. Now you know im a nerd and I have said that the main character is a nerd. The main character gets the girl and ofcourse the girl is totaly cool and what I call a Nerd Princess. The problem is that there are so many nerdy guys with blogs that have 3 viewers but not that many Nerd Pricesses. Im not very smooth and I dont even try the crappy lines that somepeople somehow find charming but I realy didnt think I was that bad. Ofcourse the fact that I live in a small southern town could explain the absence of a Nerd Princess to my story. Pluse we all know that storys without a love intrest are boreing. So tell me WTF. Am I ugly? Am I dumb? or to much of a Smart A? Am I to mean? Am I as boring as I think my auto-biography would be? Where the heck is my Nerd Princess?

Little Hackers

On my first blog I mentioned this book im reading called Little Brother. The name is misleading its actualy a joke about how disfunctional the government is. The main character in the book is a young computer savy kid who writes code, built his on computer from scraps, and named it Salmagundi. Salmagundi is Indian for anything made of spare parts. He gets boned by the DOD(Depertment of Defense) after a terrorist atack in San Francisco. Now I have said that you shouldnt be influenced by what you watch even though I am but you should be influenced by what you read. I know hypocritical but usualy ok. Now Im not talking about messing with the government dont get the wrong idea, I have a father who was in the Navy, a brother who was in the Marines, and another brother still in Afganastan for the army. I am saying that I have no personal issue aginst the government but the book does raise a point when it talks about how the things implamented to protect us just cause more fear and panic. But this blog is not me refering books to you 3 readers. Its about the dumb/smart things that make me think "Thats Dumb/Smart!"

Being Sex Minded

So I said I was sex minded in the last blog. Let me clarify on that. I watch a lot of tv and I watch a lot of shows. Now I know we shouldnt let what we watch afect how we act but I do. This show that im currently stuck on is about a poor family in a poor section of New York and like other great shows its about living with what you got. Examples may suck but I would say The Sopranos, The Simpsons, and Scrubs. The irony is this show also starts with an S. If you havent guessed becouse more than likely there are only three people reading this and none of them would watch this show, Its called Shameless. Now like real life everybody is motivated by sex and money. The only real diffrence is that real life is just sad while this show is frigin halarious. So now all I can think about is wich one of the characters im most like. Even though im probably not like any of them and they have way more fun than I do. Also there not compleat nerds who would mention that on a blog read by three people.

Yellow Legal Pad

As I have said Im a super nerd and one of the super nerdy things that I like to do is write. Coincidently that would explain why im writing blogs. Well I tried writing a book before long story. So today im listening to music while at my job and this awsome idea for a book pops into my head. The only problem is that I dont have a yellow legal pad to write on. I know I know I dont need a yellow legal pad to write on. Call it superstition then. I didnt write my first one on yellow legal pad but I think this is a chance to start fresh and im going to take it. Though with my recent style of writing I wonder if I can write it well enough. See what I want to write is more heart and soul but my writing right now is more serious and sex minded.

Learning new things

Im not exactly one to learn new things or brake from my usual routine but today seems as good a day as any to start somthing new. I have a few ideas that I think are important but they are mostly the ramblings of the over active imagination of a 17 year old with both to much and not enough time on there hands. For instance one of my ideas that I feal strongly about it the existance of time. I mean the thing about time is that it wouldnt exist if we didnt except it as a possibility. Thats just rambaling though. Ok how about some information thats not so personal or important? It was today in class im sitting reading a book called Little Brother when somthing came up about LARPing. Now im not realy into that kind of thing but I still want to try it. So I look at my friend who is on my left and I ask him how he felt about doing a documentary on it. Yes im very nerdy. Me and another one of my friends are the only people at our school who know what the word manga means and we are crazy about the Japanese Otaku(Super Nerd) culture. Im such a nerd that I like MMORPGs and ARGs but being that I live in a small southern town that while quaint has a lack of well versed nerds. My whole point is that I come up with some dumb crap and I have a lot of not so cool but cool friends who just go with that crap or come up with a worse crap to match it.
