Monday, December 30 this is the second time in a row that we've planned for this trip and it hasn't happened.. we did manage to go to the snow this time... albeit with far less people then previous plans... and we got to Jo Jo's and had a snowball fight instead.... Tom Taylor was with us.... you know what... I've been around people who've hated him a lot all my life and that started to rub off on me... I dreaded the thought of him knowing where I live all night... He's actually a cool kid though... I've decided I like him now that I've had my first real contact with him... I'm impressed.... that just made my day posted by Joel | 11:39 PM Saturday, December 28 So the Night sledding trip didn't happen today... stupid weather...however we did go see Gangs of New York which was both really good and really bad at the same time... they should make the first part into an internet movie and there were a couple other cool parts as well... however I can't guess what stupid idiot let them pass that off as an R movie... Usually when that much flesh is involved in a movie it's called soft-core porn... this was then multiplied by rampant opium use and flagrant orgies... this my frinds crossed the line for soft-core before the second plot twist... Deffinately not a movie to buy... except if they release aforementioned internet movie... that fight scene was the best I've seen in long time... Lacey swears that she won't be able to sleep one wink tonight... that may have more to do with licking scared nipples then with the fight though... whatever the reason I know I'm gonna need to get that soundtrack.. and go to sleep... not before talking to Krystal of course :) posted by Joel | 11:52 PM I've got comments!!!!! posted by Joel | 12:05 AM Friday, December 27 We finally get home from my uncles house (which for the record actually wasn't as bad as I feared... we got my mom's punch and chocolate cream puffs) and I go straight to the computer... as usual... but I gotta go make a phone call before I do anything.. before I even get to the phone my sister has stolen the computer and already started up her new game thingy... being that I'm always on the computer and I realize that It's kinda selfish of me I don't say anything... my sister stays on till 11 and now finally I get it... life sucks sometimes posted by Joel | 11:52 PM Today totally sucked... Sat arounf forever while my mom and sister played games... that is one of the more boring things a person can do.... then my mom told me that we have to go to my uncles house today... my uncle's a psycho... and his little kids are annoying ... he has 2 older kids that are fairly cool but they come in a very bad package.... oh yeah I forgot... I talked to the head coach from Chapman University this morning (the school that offered me the 11 thousand dollars that I wasn't gonna take)... He was pretty cool... I get to talk to their lineman coach now and apparantly he's a good guy... hey at least I get talk to Rob today... maybe Krystal too... anyway quotage time I hear the voice of thousands all gathered here Are they just a noise soon lost in air Or is there more, is there more You lift your hands up high reaching to the sky Is there a reason can, can you tell me why Or is there more, is there more So let me ask you posted by Joel | 4:29 PM :) I am uber!!! I know html basics and it only took me 2 hours... now I need to put comments back on... I don't know where the stuff goes.... Reber you must help posted by Joel | 2:23 AM I'm pretty sure I've figured it out... now to play with the stuff that really matters to me posted by Joel | 1:46 AM I'm gonna spend my next 4 hours figuring out html... yayyyyy posted by Joel | 12:17 AM Wednesday, December 25 Hey everyone... Merry Christmas... This one almost snuck up on me this year... my parents could've held it a day late and I wouldn't have known... anyway... I'm really devoid of anything in particular to say today so I'm just gonna find a quote and play some age of empires I am born today, the sun burns its promise in my eyes; Mama strikes me and I draw a breath and cry. Above me a cloud softly tumbles through the sky; I am glad to be alive. It is me seventh day, I taste the hunger and I cry; my brother and sister cling to Mama's side. She squeezes her breast, but it has nothing to provide; someone weeps, I fall asleep. It is twenty days today, Mama does not hold me anymore; I open my mouth but I am too weak to cry. Above me a bird slowly crawls across the sky; why is there nothing now to do but die? posted by Joel | 10:00 PM Monday, December 23 I'm 42% internet addict, 18% emo... I couldn't answer most of these questions, 30% geek, and 64% evil.... but the world really would be a better place if I ruled it and there's an obviosreason why people are afraid of me..... anyway that's my quicky.. I'll post more in the morning posted by Joel | 1:00 AM Thursday, December 19 I never get any comments anymore.... you know what the best way to get comments is?...... complain about not getting any comments posted by Joel | 7:25 PM Wednesday, December 18 Oh my friggin gosh... Lord of the Rings is so friggin uber... The battle at Helm's Deep is the best siege I've ever seen on film... I am soooo going to see that movie like 5 times... Anyway sleep awaits me... and three finals as well tomorrow.... I hate school Three rings for Elven kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf lords in their halls of stone, Nine for mortal men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the land of Mordor where shadows lie One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them One ring to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie (I did that all from memory... I knew it in French once too....I may be a little obsessed) posted by Joel | 10:58 PM Tuesday, December 17 David and I tied for first place in the final review game... we thought we were getting extra credit for the final but it turns out... candy cane... We matched wits with all kinds and came out ahead all the way to the end... then tied Brian Turner and... the smart chick... I know I should know her name but that doesn't help me currently...anyway.. I went into the physical therapists today... My arm hurts now.. it didn't when I went into the place... They pumped it full of anti inflamation crap... It was kinda cool how they did it though... they made me late for school so that's always a plus... Smith thought It was cause of the weather and didn't give me a chance to explain.. no big.. he's not giving me the tardy either way.. I don't get this deal with the kids around me not having time to blog cause their studying for the finals... there's only so much time you can spend on that... Two hours worth is about all you'll absorb anyway... oh well not my problem... I'm gonna go read my book now.. bye Here, thou incestuous, murderous, damned Dane, Drink off this potion. Is thy union here? Follow my mother. -Hamlet posted by Joel | 12:09 PM Monday, December 16 yeah I kinda did the quick bit last night.. that's cause I needed sleep... anyway I went to the football banquet yesterday for like 4 hours... the first 3 were spent in tedium of recognizing the freshmen and sophmores... the freshmen left as soon as their awards were done.. We have to go last just so we won't do that to them and then they do it to us... Many people got upset at this but I don't see a difference... they got to leave early because the people in charge set it up so that we couldn't do that to them... we woulda done the same thing in their shoes... oh well... like I said I got the offensive lineman of the year award and was highly approving of it... They gave me a ton of papers, a mini helmet, a couple of patches, and a plaque... I keep spelling that plague... oh well.. the best part was when the cheerleaders got up to do their deal it turns out that only 3 of the varsity players had shown up.. it was great.. That's exactly what happened the whole year... we were gonna boo them.. but they didn't even show so that was even better... anyway time to do something else... after quotage of course... "you're interferring with my plans to live forever" posted by Joel | 3:02 PM Sunday, December 15 oh and I'm the offensive lineman of the year :) posted by Joel | 10:17 PM So I went to the party.. had a good time.. got very interested in this game called Werewolf: The Apocalypse.. Very much a role playing game... the epitome of anti-power-gamers... Just great... another pointless, time-consuming game for me to waste my life on... I need sleep now.. night posted by Joel | 10:17 PM Saturday, December 14 It's Truxtn't birthday party today... I'm gonna go.. hang out with all those people I don't like... more then likely have a blast... come back out of the depths of hell just in time to go to the football banquet... This is going to be the most interesting weekend of the year... And I get the added bonus of hating myself for it... I should prollytake some of my own advice on this but I don't really care.. I'm gonna go now so bye The long awaited rains Have fallen hard upon the thirst ground And carved their way to where The wild and rushing river can be found And like the rains I have been carried here to where the river flows My heart is racihng and my knee are weak As I walk to the edge I know there is not turning back Once my feet have left the ledge And in the rush I hear a voice That’s telling me it’s time to take the leap of faith So here I go posted by Joel | 11:27 AM Friday, December 13 You know... sometimes life sucks... there are those moments when you just want something to fall on your head and end it all... then they go away... A guy I've played football for years with just told me today that he was in a comercial yesterday... and he had lines... Apparantly he's gonna be a model now... He is a pretty boy but I'd never expect him to allow someone to tell him that he was... He's shy and quiet... kinda... and now he's gonna walk down runways with no shirt on. I'm thoroughly creeped out... I kinda through no fault of my own ledt my sister out in the rain today... I had to talk to Coach Pelfrey today and couldn't find him at all during school so I had to go afterwards.. He wasn't there again but they told me he'd be right back this time so I waited... they are always wrong... If you can refer to someone as "they" never trust them... anyway by the time I got over to where I meet C'Anne she had already called home and was getting a ride... I hate it when something I need to do doesn't work out and someone else suffers for it. well... ummm.. bye "How's your life?" "How are things?" "Great they're going okay!" Something stale and superficial, not to ruin your day. Something swell, something gay, with the toothiest smile, something sappy, something happy, something smells like bile. I don't want to burst your bubble, not to rain on your parade, underneath my skin I'm tired, limping down this path I've made. The clap of thunder in my veins, breaks on barren manifold, still and small and so mundane, the greatest story ever told. posted by Joel | 4:22 PM Tuesday, December 10 I had a pretty uber day yesterday.. Me and Reber tried to find each other for a while then finally ended up finding each other at the county library... we did our physics and then kinda hung out for a while.. that doesn't really sound that uber and I doubt Reber would really agree but it's been a long time since I've done something like that... I haven't had many friends in school since the first batch dropped out... very refreshing... anyway I'm downloading Vampire Hunter D bloodlust to the school's harddrive off of Kazaa.. It's gonna take each day for the rest of the semester that I'm in here prolly but I can do whatever else I want while it goes... My problem is how I'm gonna get it off the computer and home so I can watch it... it's 717 megabites so a cd might not work... 10 hours to download it says... and it'll drop to like 2 kilos per second every once in a while so it'll be a while.... I'm repeating myself now so I should get to my homework now.. bye posted by Joel | 12:02 PM Sunday, December 8 Switchfoot rules.. if you didn't know they're the ones that played about half of the songs in "a walk to remember"... I'm listening to a song by them called concrete girl that's especially good... yeah... I went to Truxton's house today.. came crawling back again.. I was pissed at myself in the car on the way there and on the way home... I had a lot of fun.... he anounced his soon to come birthday party and invited me as I left... Now.. I've really never been much for petty revenge but I suddenly have the overwhelming urge to promise to come and not show up... The only problem with that plan is... his parents... I like them just as much as I like him and they might not like me doing that... they'd understand and stuff but... well Patty is very vindictive on his behalf sometimes... She's been a good boss and friend to me too so I guess I'll have to go... besides.. the labtop I'm counting on is coming from his uncle... Oh well.. such is life... my life anyway.. I'm gonna go sleep this off before I shoot myself. gnight posted by Joel | 11:06 PM Saturday, December 7 I took the SAT II today... That test sucks... I've never gottten a bigger headache in my life... the worst part was that it came when I was struggling to complete the Chemistry test on time. I doubt anyone will be impressed by those scores. Anyway.. such is life.. After that I pretty much did very little... downloaded some songs.... put in my car cd player (with help).. had homemade chile rellenos.. they weren't that good... and It took my mom forever to make them. I also talked with a few non-blogger friends.. Yes they do exist.. and well.. now I'm tired... I'm gonna find a cool quote then go to bed Staring at a blank wall and all its white washed face Not knowing why I had to choose this way I discern I was wrong in my way Looking for peace in another, another domain posted by Joel | 11:19 PM Thursday, December 5 I just found this and decided that is had to be on my blog A national association has denied accreditation to a liberal arts college that requires six*day creationism to be taught in a biology class. Patrick Henry College, a 150-student school in Purcellville, Virginia, is appealing the decision. "We teach about evolution," Michael Farris, founder of Patrick Henry College, told CHRISTIANITY TODAY. "We just think it's bogus--bogus science, and bogus as a matter of faith." posted by Joel | 1:41 PM Wednesday, December 4 This has been the uberest week of my life... First the deal about the 11 thousand dallars was a college thing... Cool stuff... Then today... today my families dvd player finally came... took like 3 days so I shouldn't say finally... then my mom came home from Modesto right after I had set it up with my new cd player for my car and the new Lord of the rings dvd special edition.. That Is the best movie ever made.. the special edition is better then I had hoped... Anyway I need to go study for my physics test tomorrow.. so bye.. I'll never think anything else lovely unless it be the gift my lady gave me. -Gimli What dd you ask for? -Legolas I asked for one hair from her golden mane... she gave me three posted by Joel | 10:23 PM Tuesday, December 3 I got offered 11 thousand dollars today... I'm prolly not gonna take it... oh well Look! She's singing about God! -Dad Yeah well, I'm not gonna belive her until she buttons up her jacket. -C'Anne posted by Joel | 5:05 PM Yayyyy... We're doing skill tutors in class today... "I hate you Joel. I really do. I want you to die." -David Apparantly me blogging instead of helping him with his homework didn't go over very well. Oh well... I'll do it when I'm done here. these things are too cool... You can connect to the internet and all this stuff just by satellite connection.. Or something like that... To think I'm gonna get something like it pretty soon for $350... I rule the world... Today has been fairly good.. It's nice to go into each class very confident that you've already done the homework in that class... I thk I'll try to keep it this way... Like right now we're supposed to be doing skills tutor but I did this particular one long ago and am quite set. A coach from Willamette called me and Brian Turner last night... I knew it was coming but Brian had no idea... I'm very happy for that kid.. He deserves to go to good college for all the work he's put into this... Anyway time to go.. Bye "Will Eliath ever be too busy for vengence?" "Everyone needs a hobby" posted by Joel | 11:27 AM Monday, December 2 Yayyy... back to school... I hate it.. oh well.. My arm is fricking sore today. I think it's good enough not to call TJ though. Anyway I've got to start getting my grades up a lot so this'll have to be short (gonna do tonights homework soon as I'm done). I finished Hamlet last night.. That's one of the crappyer reads of my life.. It's a pretty good idea and plot and stuff but I simply can't get into a book that I have to go back and reread every sentence 4 or 5 times to figure out what it means... Anyway tie to get to work. bye Never cared never wanted Never sought to see what flaunted So on purpose so in my face Couldn't see beyond my own place And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold But you taught me I could change Whatever came within these shallow days posted by Joel | 12:28 PM Sunday, December 1 I had an interesting dream last night... First one that I've remembered in years... I was getting ready for a football game... then playing it. We were playing against Oakdale. And we were killing them.. I was Awesome.. Defense I had major sacks and offense My guy was on the ground every play.. with a couple linebackers beneath him. Right after we scored I noticed for the first time that I didn't have any shoulderpads or helmet on. I went down to get my stuff during the kickoff and Randy foreman was sent in to play for me... If you don't know who that is he's a little small to take over for me.. he's been expelled on top of that.. anyway by the time I got back to the field It was 13 10 Oakdale favor and I headed back in to pick up the pieces and win this game... then I woke up.... I'm guessing that I miss it already more than you'll love, more than you'll hate, more than you'll hold, more than wanted more than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish, more than you'll have, more than wanted posted by Joel | 12:54 PM |
