Well, its the last day of summer vacation. As usual, I feel conflicting feelings that seem only to emphasize my oxymoron-like personality. First, ITS SUMMER VACATION! Its something that everyone waits for and wishes would come on swift wings. Freedom. No assignments, or teachers you don't like. Or even students whom you despise. But, this summer has left me feeling empty and at a loss. A dead summer, which I hate. So while summer has its freedoms and benefits, it becomes hell if you fall into a trap as the one I have stumbled into. To hardly see the friends that I know, to not live my life true, to be caught inside this prision of mind and body, it has left me a shell of myself. A pain that I have endured and have not become any wiser to make it worthwhile. I saw on only a few seperate occasions those people that have made my school year a pleasant one. Otherwise, my job has worn away my body, and my house has dulled my mind. I can feel it, and I hate it.
The sound of Jimmy Eat World floods my ears. A Melancholy realm I have stumbled into. I am ready to repair the damage of summer. By being around those who will promise companionship and by sharpening my wisdom and wit I will become once again my true self. So, as I began, school is both a blessing and a curse. I believe it is for everyone, for different reasons. Another example of the conflicting feelings that make up human beings. The oxymoron, a strange but necassary asset of every sentient being.
Also, my birtyday was the 15th. If anyone wants to wish me a belated birthday, I wont be mad that you forgot.

My Dream Job: Check this out folks. A professional hermit. I've always wanted to be a bum. This is almost the same, only you get paid to not talk to people. How much more could you ask for.

-OGS hooking me up with the link to the dream job!

My Dream Job: To be the guy in the blue vest giving people hugs and handing out stickers at Wal-Mart.

ummmm....I got a CD burner so my online time consists of downloading music. I'll update sooner or later. Probably sooner.

It is nice to know that Mark is updating, but rather going overboard with two entries in one day, one of which is rather lengthy. I wish the very best for Mark and his lady friend, whatever the situation may be. Honesty is always a good thing to have.

In lighter news, let the world know that Summer of Spies is printed and ready for readers. There should be a marathon that ends on my front door, the winner getting to read it first. It's that good. I have started another literary endeavor, my inspiration being the catlyst that split the human race. I refer to the shattering of the Moon in The Time Machine. I just rented the movie the other day, and was completely thrown off by it. It was stunning! The dynamic passage of Time as viewed from the inside of the machine was some of the best visual effects I'd ever seen. The movie though, deviates from the plot of the original book in many respects. If you have had time to review both, you would understand my statement. This movie reignited my intrest in the so called "impossibilty" of Time Travel. I don't know if it is possible or not, but there will always be those who say that they can prove conclusively either way. Both schools of thought are wrong.

Anyway, my new book, which will not be nearly as long as Summer of Spies, is entitled Moonfall. It follows the destruction of Earth's satellite from the dawn of the Atomic Age all the way to its final hour.

Sorry for going off on a tangent there, I tend to do that. Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie The Time Machine, go see it! Do not underestimate the power of the Impossible.

Two posts by me in one day. Tell your friends! No seriously...Email your friends and tell them!

Girls make me happy. They usually don't. I mean I'm fairly bitter about them to be completely honest. You always seem to get attached and then you get burned. Not only burned, but your heart is also broken. That's not good! I told myself that their were no need for girlfriends or anything like them. Then of course I decided to give one girl a chance. It worked and I ran with it. Then it ended. What happened you ask? I chickened out! I was still afraid of getting hurt and still bitter about the last time. So what do I do? I decide to still date this girl and just see what works out. Then I almost completely lose her. How? I decided to have some relations with another girl. I was honest and told the truth and almost lost the first girl. It should have been the only girl. Now everything is better. I realized what I had when I had almost lost it. And that made me want it all the more. I'm pretty sure she still doesn't trust me on some stuff. And to be honest I wouldn't either, but right now she makes me happy and sometimes all it takes is to see her face.

So everyone give me tech points cause I'm using my sister laptop......

Today I worked at the grocery store. People at grocery stores are generally not very happy people. They have to spend that money and it's really not on anything fun. The fatter people may get a kick out of buying more food, but then they are upset because they eat to much food. Mom's are upset because they have kids. They have kids that whine and complain and cry until they get what they want. Since the mom's all seem to be week minded fools the kid gets what he/she wants. Great! Next time they are in the same thing will happen, which means I have to put up with more crying and similar things. Kid's, that aren't super young, are unhappy because they are shopping with their parents. No one really wants to be seen with their parents. So they do their best to look like they are having the worst of times. Teen-agers that can drive are very funny to watch. They are there on their own free will. I mean come on, they and a bunch of their friends drove there. But they aren't cool picking up snacks at a grocery store, so they look down trodden and shify eyed, as if the fashion police or whatever will come and get them. Well anyways....

Today I saw a mom use a very successful method to keep her young boy happy. She let him bring along a GameBoy and play Pokemon or some other useless game. He was walking and playing and not paying much attention. This kid was happy. He wasn't smiling, but he wasn't frowning. He was so engrossed in his game that his mind only focused on the game and on walking. All of his other senses were useless.

Of course this probes my mind. I didn't have a GameBoy when I was younger and shopping in a store and to be honest I didn't whine and complain that much. I was a fairly happy child unless I just wanted to go home. Why do kids no aday think that they need video games to amuse them. Look around! I work there and I find ways to amuse myself at the grocery store. Imagine what they are like at home. The kids don't even have to worry about standing. They can sit in a recliner, relax, and listen to the sounds of fat molecules multiplying. Kids should be more creative in finding things to do. Even if it's (gasp!!) reading, drawing, making web sites, or other activities that involve sitting down. At least they are exercising their minds.

Video games are fun. I played a football video game earlier today. Tamba Bay beat Green Bay 20-3. Now I'm updating a web site that I made. Earlier today I was playing the guitar and I even read some too. Get out and make the people that will one day run our country know less about video games.

Since Mark's computer has bitten the cybertronic bullet, I will have to edit more often for the sake of our dedicated readers, all two or three of them. In happy news, I announce that I have finished writing my book Summer of Spies. It is my first attempt to convey the nasty world of Intelligence. I hope that anyone who has the option of reading my book does so. Fellow peers of my school will most likely get to read it first, as soon as school starts again.

So congratualte me! I have sucessfully written a book that isn't comedy! That is something I'm not sure if I'm proud of yet.

I don't know who this Blink kid is that Mark is talking about, but I am quite sure that this is a very odd coincidence. In fact, I just saw a news story on the situation involving Iraq, as referred to in Mark's post on 7-27. Also noting past posts, Blogger has been acting up lately, and no one has any guess as to why, other than to aggrivate those who do not have to pay to post. In conclusion, this has been a day of coincidences. In the words of Dirk Gently though, coincidences can be strange and dangerous things.

Hey everyone. My computer crashed on Sunday. I may get a new one, I may not. Who really knows? Right now I have my sisters lap top hooked up to our moniter, mouse, and internet. It's slower though, which is sad. If you have any recomendations for computers that are a good deal then please email me.

I went to work tonight for the first time in 3 weeks. I forgot how it feels to constantly stand up for 4 and a half hours. I know you guys probably have just as bad or worse jobs, but that doesn't make my feel less sore. I hope this actually gets posted because Blogger's been stupid lately.

The U.S. has invited Iraqi opposition groups to Washington. They will be trying to get the groups to co-operate, so that Saddam Hussein could possibly be removed from power. There is also growing suspision that the U.S. plans to attack Iraq.

I believe that this is a very bad idea. You will all notice very soon that I don't like involvment in the Middle East. We have such a different culture and way of thinking that it is very difficult for us to get along with them. They have trouble getting along with themselves. Having these anti - Suddam groups and showing some support for them makes us look like the all powerful, all knowing, supreme country. When we are not. The people of the middle east will see this only as America trying harder to push into their lives, but they don't want us there. Attacking Iraq does the same thing, only on a bigger scale.
