HOLY CRAP, IM ALIVE!

I have lied to any views in the past two months. I have not posted everyday. I am straight lazy. I jsut have no motivation to do any posts. I can think of perfectly acceptable posts, but I cant get the “umph” to type it out. It bugs me. But, I feel as though my text sits here and doesnt do anything except pollute the internet. I feel like there is no reason for this to even exist. I know no one reads this. So why do I post it? I dont. But, I want to try again. Renew the site. Give a new design to it. Ill be back.

Lets do get some things straight.

There is going to be some changes around here. I havent really been up on blogging recently. Mostly, its been laziness. There is going to be a flood of posts here tonight. Mostly, just catching up.

I will start blogging on a daily basis, or atleast try to. Just, a lot of stress frim school recently. A lot of work from school too. And, I need to make the time to get my thoughts out.

Another quick post.

Not much really happening.

Been cramming like crazy to achieve a 3.5 in school right now. Except for tonight. I kind of blew off some of my homework. I just could not concentrate. I got most of my Bio done. None of my English. And, 80% of my Math.

Ill probably work on some English tonight. Bio, i just could not get a simple summary from Wikipedia. And, math… Well, I thought the questions where not specific enough to the criteria.

I need to put it into gear, and stop postponing, and waiting till last minute.

I even have a “last minute” class. Its basically a working period. I will do the mojority of English in there tomorrow. I wish I can try to change my work ethic. I am trying to. My grades and school are both extremely important to me.

I need to start avoiding the computer more, and focus on the more important work at hand. Not to say, I will not be on as much. But, put it to last.
I would go crazy if I could not use the computer.

Feeling monochromatic.

I will probably mix up the colors frequently

Oh geeze. My grades dropped a lot in the past week. I still have no C’s but, very close. I have no idea how it happened either.

IM seem like a butt head, in this post…

I seem to be a very BIG BUTT HEAD. Now that I look back, I should of chilled out. But, I guess a personal blog is to vent sometimes. And, I had a lot of spelling mistakes. I should of been nicer to my parents. I didnt say anything to them at the time. I think I am very nice to my parents now, compared to a typicl teenager. And, also compared to most teens, I like to spend time with my family.

And, ironically, about them complaining about me spending too much time on the computer, they are getting me a new one soon…

Its a Wonderful Saturday Gnite.

I am happy. Got some wonderful bottled water*. And, it is chilly! I love the cold.

The Winter is only suitable season for me Until, I find a place with mountains, that has snow all year long. Snowboarding every weekend would be a dream.

To briefly mention snowboarding, I have been snowboarding for around 3ish years now. Wonderful sport, if you call it that. I own a board, but no boots. So, I usually just rent everything. I go with friends, and we get a discount on the tickets and gear. I am not extremely good yet, but I can ride nicely. I still am trying to master the swaying motion, where you see a person lean backwards, then forwards, and back again, and so on. I am not worried to learn how to do many tricks yet. Just to ride smoothly, and without much falling. I snowboard up in Tahoe, the Nevada part. I hope for my feet to stop growing, so I can get some permanent gear. And, I am trying to get my parents into skiing, so I can go snowboarding more often </done>

I am probably going to surf net for a while longer. Then, off to game on some Counter Strike. That brings a topic for another day, or later, which will do with a new computer.

I got some new music today. I cannot remember what band it is right now, but it will come to me later.

*- I started to drink bottled water, because one day I noticed stuff floating in my tap water. Yes, it is filtered.

I got to get back to Blogging.

Why?

Because. I think it helps me. Emotionally. Even though no one reads it that much, might glance by it, it just feels good to get some stuff out.

I did better in school when I blogged. I felt better. Its just magic.

I may go to a forum and post a lot, but I cant just open a topic to how I feel.

Newest thing? Lets go with something school related that really makes me mad.

Inenglish, we have vocabulary words each week, and we get a packet of questions to go with them. I bring it home, and do the first thing we have to do. Write out the word, part of speech, and definition. Well, did that, and for some reason I go myself to think that was all there was to do. I forgt to do the rest of the requirements!

I remembered that I had to do the rest, 1 minute before it was due.

So, I jsut handed my teacher, my words. I figure the mean the most. But, she wouldnt take them. And, I cant turn in anything late… So, the work is just wasted

I am not feeling it…

I really dont have much to blog on at this pont in time. Days are just rolling by. Noting eventful.

School has been bland. Nothing at all exciting.

I am thinking of a different music player than the iPod Touch. I am thinking… iPod Classic. Has more of what I want in an iPod. Time will tell. Ill most likely get the Classic.

No more C’s.. for now.

And I plan to keep it that way.

I got my grade up from a 71=C to  83=B in my Spanish 1 class. I am proud of myself. Now, I got to work hard, and keep all good grades. My other grade that I have to be careful is English. But, I have a B in there too.

School is going smoothly, going by fast.  Ah geeze, life goes by quick

English is a killer. So much work. I actually got to work on some later tonight.

iPod touch Mini review~

Ok, I got to spend 30 minutes with an iPod Touch. When entering the Apple store, I breezed right on by the Classics. And, all I needed was the 30 minutes to convince me that the Touch was the ‘pod. Everything about it was wonderful. And, Apple fixed the screen deficiencies. So, I give it an A- in my book. Ill give a fuller review when I can actually spend atleast a week with it. But, here is a mini review.
Great stuff about it; The large screen is awesome. It doesnt matter if it is a touchscreen, it just looks marvelous. Viewing in landscape is nicely done. But, you cannot have the iPod laying down. It must be held, or the accelerometer will not function correctly. It is nice and bright, and crystal clear in the menus. I did not get to play with any videos, but I expect them to look nice on the new Touch screens.
The built in Safari was quick and fast. Rendered pages nicely. But, it will probably depend on how fast your network is too. With several online apps appearing with use of the iPhone, you can use them with the Touch too. I found several IM apps browsing the net today. But, the bad thing about running through the web, is, you have to be connected. A more logical way is to just hack your Touch, and use different apps when you want to, and not be restricted by wireless signals.
Music is fun to navigate I am starting to become a fan of coverflow now, and it looks fresh on the screen. Very easy to use, and I thought Steve could not make it easier to find your music I hve read other reviews about the Sound quality to not be on par. But, compared t my slightly older iPod Photo, it sounded better. I may have to use better headphones, but it sounds great. Album art is displayed in the background of your “Now Playing” screen. Overall, the music is nicely executed.
The physical appearance of it is amazing. It is abnormally thin! It feels nice in your hand. And, with only two physical buttons, nothing sticks out on the facade too much. The antenna on the back of it (the little black part) sat flush with the rest of the back.

Not so positive parts; Lack of memory. Given that it is only 8gb or 16gb, you can almost tell that Apple is not trying to publicize that the Touch is for carrying around your music and video collection. It s meant to have the good half of your library in your pocket. The Touch is displayed as a device to enjoy your music and videos and photos on a large touch screen.
The lack of Apps from Apple kind of stinks too. Steve stated that the Touch uses the same OS as the iPhone, so why not throw on the Mail Client and Google Maps?
Battery life is not as great as Apple likes to say. While stating that it will play for 22 ours of audio only, you have to ead the fine print on how they got it to do so. They optimized playback time by playing the songs continuously with the screen off, and not messing with it at all. Most people like to skip songs, and pause. Oh well.

That is all I really messed with before my parents rushed me out of Heaven on Earth.
