The Bathroom of Weather

I have finally moved into UF. I have been in my dorm for a couple of days now. Everything is great except one thing...that's my bathroom. Well not exactly the bathroom, more of just the shower. When I turn on my shower, the entire bathroom becomes a weather system.
The first time I turned on the shower, ****! I felt wind inside the bathroom! So pretty much I could have a forecast within my dorm's bathroom. With a hailstorm in the shower, along with strong winds, and by some miracle sunshine on the other side of the bathroom.
I have one crazy bathroom.

Weight Loss

Why does everyone think that you can lose weight and continue to eat the same? I've been through that hell of trying to drop pounds, and it's difficult. The only magic food that'll help you shed pounds are laxatives, and then you're shitting out your entire body.
Bottom line: weight = calories put in - exercise put out + natural body mass (this varies between person and depends on family history...) Overall there's no miracle cure to losing weight within a week, just lifestyle changes to be healthy. I love all the magazine covers saying otherwise though, they make me laugh.

My Summer

My summer has been filled with ups and downs. Starting from graduation of high school, I was hoping to get paid as a camp counselor. Of course, because of the events to my shoulder, I was withheld pay. Sure a counselor only gets paid 59 cents/hour (as it was found out), that's $250 per week more than what I have in my pocket to show. But I went as a Counselor's Assistant anyways, because my mother persuaded me so, and it kept me out of some stupid trouble.
So my summer was spent almost exclusively at camp, watching children of middle school age and younger. During this time, I also had to go through therapy, which was my workout during my off period for most days, up to the first month I was out there. This was fun, and I got used to the schedule. Then I get stuck out with horses. I don't know a damn thing bout horses. SO what do I do? I became a squire (that's what we called ourselves) and started shoveling shit. That week sucked, as well as every trip I had to make out there, because I despise such creatures.
Anyways, besides those 2 setbacks, I was having lots of fun. I wasn't watching the kids as much as relaxing with them and becoming their friend, not only their counselor. My Color Wars team did well (for the first 2 sessions), but I blame SHANaNOgaNs for that - there's no way the same team can win 3 sessions in a row. Out at skatepark then challenge course wasn't bad. Then changing from challenge course to marksmanship was fine too. I found out that riding a skateboard is actually a bit fun, and I love shooting things, so BB guns and archery was my fix.
Mid-way through the third session I went out to the UF orientation. First thoughts, "**** this is a big campus!" I still think it is now. Along the way I ended up changing my major from Computer Science to Computer Engineering - Software, and kept Mathematics. I also registered for classes, met some really cool people, and continue to realize how big the UF campus is.
Then I came back to camp to watch the kids some more. At least there were some CITs (Counselor In Training) who I absolutely loved, and they pulled me through to the next and final session. The last session I pretty much rode out. During this time I found out I got one of the best dorms on the UF campus, even better it was near my classes too. I also realized that I never want to return to camp again, well this particular camp. As much as I love the campers it just wasn't (and still isn't) worth coming back. The last day finally comes, and I figure it'll be the easiest day...hell no. First, one of the counselors decides to be a bitch bout a small prank and wants to tell me I'm not doing my job, got me excited to the point where I wanted to fight. Instead I ran and cooled off, and rode for the rest of the day. Till I get told that my Twitter pisses parents off cause it's content isn't up to their standards for a camp counselor, and I'm told I have to edit it. HAHAHAHA.
They can shove it.
I feel that's my censorship, and they can get over themselves, along with my bosses, for a number of reasons. They get over it. And I try to end on a good note. This is achieved by having a firing squad armed with corn throwing their ammo at the counselor who pissed me off earlier. Without speaking we made amends of the situation, it's better to end on a good note. And the Twitter situation doesn't matter, cause it was never my fault that parents are snoopy and that Google works magically well. Closing campfire ended off well. Long, but well.
And finally to today. I am home. With a dead battery in my car this morning, and a new one currently. With plans that fell through, but I'm gonna hit the town up for sure within the week. With college only a week away. These next few weeks should be fun :)

Quite Possibly the Last Pair of Sandals I May Ever Wear Again...

The Nike Air Max Sandals

These are truly comfort. And normally I couldn't care less about looking up shoes, or even sandals for that matter. But since I now own these bad boys, I love wearing them around the house. Perfect feeling after throwing the socks and shoes around the floor to slip these puppies on. Just another slice of modern heaven :)

Facebook & MySpace

For Facebook users, you already know it. Starting June 13th, +all the other timing crap that I have no need for, Facebook will have usernames!!! Which is a disaster. The line between Facebook and MySpace has only begun to blur more. I am saddened by this fact, because it only drops Facebook's greatness another two points, like when Channel 7 created a Facebook. Towards Twitter I urge closer and closer to...revolutions, sometimes they just really suck.

Tracks

Tracks...they're something you follow. From the ones in your mother's head, to the ones animals make in the ground, even to train tracks, something follows them.

Animals make tracks in the ground, not purposely, but of course **** happens. Not the best thing when a hungry man-bear-pig, or any part of it is 'tracking' you down. You can follow animal tracks, most likely they'll lead you to an animal, or away depending on which way you follow them.

Train tracks lead trains to their destinations. Which leads to damsels in distress because the villan has strapped them to the predictable train tracks.

Tracks on a CD or Vinel (spell check please...because I'm too lazy to do it myself). The song would play by the needle 'following' the indent in the disc, producing mucis. Now CD's don't work the same way, but we call a song a track because of old habits. And besides the songs follow one another in a similar way.

My favorite : Hair tracks. These are my favorite because of how they get into someone's head, and how they can come out. Don't know why females put them into their head, but whatever floats their boat. And these tracks, you don't need to follow, when you pull them out, they follow the direction your hand is pulling; unless they're in extra tight, but you'll hear shreiks x100 by that point.

Seatbelts

Seatbelts...they don't always keep you safe. Today, I demonstrated this by handing out birthday punches to my friend as he was trapped down by his seatbelt. So, remember, seatbelts don't always keep you safe.

New Word!

This isn't really a new word, especially for ebonics users, but I think it deserves a post for the shear variety of ways to spell the **** word.

(my spelling) iight (adv or adj) : look up alright

Basically 'iight' is the short-hand of 'alright', which is short-hand of 'all right,' lazy aren't we? But through text messages and IM chats 'iight' has been spelled many ways, such as 'aight', 'ight', 'eyeght' (this one is just weird though). What I've found in common is that each ends in 'ght' so people understand the word.

New Friend Request

Yes, this is another rant upon current social networking sites.

Lately, as within the last 3 months, every week I get 7-10 friend requests for Facebook. I'm not that popular. And frankly I don't care for everyone at Dillard, or went there. The same goes for those going out to UF. If you start contacting me and you speak then it's another story, but if you're making Facebook into MySpace and counting the number of friends you have...get a ******* life. I don't care.

I want to use a social networking group for it's use, to have contact with people. Sure I won't talk everyday, but hell at least use the damn thing (no pun intented). I've been getting requests from people I didn't even know existed until they asked for a friend request. At least it's a quick deny. Anyways I wish stupid people would quit it. Though I doubt it.

What I find to be truthful of some of the social networking sites I do use:

• MySpace: Desires to become Facebook. Tom has a secret profile on Facebook, watches the updates made, copies the code and applies it to MySpace. Part of why MySpace has declined so rapidly recently.
• Facebook: Is becoming much more popular. More so by straight n00bs who know absolutely nothing about web design and navigating pages. Yes, this includes everyone's mother. Only thing that kills me is that people are begining to abuse some of the things I loved about Facebook, and it's pushing me more towards Twitter.
• Twitter: Pure and simple status updates. I love it because you can follow whom ever you'd like (parody of "Whatever You Like" anyone?) without them having to follow you back, or accepting them to follow you. In addition you can still block stalkers. The open access of commenting towards anyone without the need of following or being followed is key I believe, it's gonna take Twitter else where that previous social networks have yet to explore.
• YouTube: It makes rockstars.
• G Talk: No it's not just for gangsters..."I got a G-mail"("So Fly" feat. Yung Joc). Nice chat room curtailed to associates and friends if you'd rather not E-mail them, but still provided through the G-mail services. Plus new things everyday from the 'Labs ' tab to check out and to use.
• Blogger: Another way to rant about social networks.

Purgatory

That's how I feel right now, in the middle of everything.  Though I'm 18, graduated from high school, and even taken some college classes, I still feel young.  There are many things that I am still, and I still have growing up to do.  Thus, I feel in a state of pugatory.  Seated in the middle, I'm an adult when people choose me to be.  I do something wrong, I'm an adult.  I want to stay out all night, I'm young.

I'm ready for college at some parts, but others I'd rather do without.  Similarly I look forward to the privileges, but shun the reprecussions.  Maybe I should just sit back and chill.  And truly sit within purgatory.  Let life pass by.  Then clense myself for college.  In the direction of acting right, and commiting to obligations, not so much prayer...as that is another subject and would screw up the analogy.

I guess that's just how life goes...probably should stop staying up late for starters...naw it's still Summer, gotta keep my internal party alive. LOL

New Word!!

This is a new word that my friend made up.

Treahumor

(or it could be spelled) Tre-a-humor

(adj, n)- to describe ideology that is pothetically stupid, ideology pothetically stupid

Use it in return of a dumb joke or a question that has previously been answered but isn't rhetorical.  Such as : "You have that tre-a-humor, don't you?"  Attempt to not overuse the word or use it to add insult to injury, cause that's just cruel. 

True Blood

I love the fact I have Comcast a DVR cause I have watched so many first seasons during this begining of summer break.  One of which was True Blood, right before the new seaon starts.  I have a couple of annoyances with the characters though, but that denotes a good show.

Sookie: WTF kind of name is that for a chaste southern belle?  Well at least until she becomes a "fang banger."  Really though, when Bill calls her name out multiple times in quick secession, I feel like I'm watching a Japanese porn.  My other issue is that she is a tease.  "But she gave it up to the vampire!"  She gave that much up, but still strings along Sam as well, so she's not that great.

 

Jason: A kind-hearted horny bastard.  A hypocrite on a large scale, but not the worst in the bunch.

Sam: The lover boy.  Stuck on Sookie, even though he's smashing her best friend, Tara.  I find it ironic that he likes to turns into a dog.  He lives in a trailer, but has stacks of money just wasting away, getting lonely in a safe.  He could get the one he wants, just needs to pay a certain waitress a bit

 more, like a certain bar tender.

Tara: My favorite character cause she doesn't take **** from anyone.  Other than the loud mouth and her being extremely gullible, she's fine.  I still don't understand how a fake witch doctor can get you to cough up over $8000, but what a price tag on being healthy?  Then following what's-her-face to a mansion, and living with her...I'm still waiting for the catch.

Lafayette: He's gay, proud of the fact, deals drugs, is a camera whore, a regular whore, and the list continues.  I'm amazed he was walking around for as long as he was.

Bill: He's just being strung along by Sookie.  Really, him and Sam need to go out and get some together and both get over Sookie.  The other thing he needs to stop doing is calling her name out 20 in a row, "Sookie sookie sookie" ends up sounding like "SukiSukiSukiSuki," which sounds like a porn, granted Jason makes the show a soft core porn anyways.

Those are the main characters of True Blood, trust me the Sheriff and his detective are obnoxious as well.  This post reminded me why I hate using multiple pictures within my posts...it just doesn't work well with blogger.

Summer

For students at any level, Summer is the break of all breaks.  Three months pf not having to do a thing...school wise.  Usually it is my time to not care about my normal life back at home, as I am usually not there.

Summer can mean time at the beach, time to get service hours completed, time to catch up with old pals, time to get a job and spend your own cash, time to party.  How ever you spend it, everyone loves it (except for the Chinese, the only culture I know of that has year-round schooling for all students - probably why they kick our ass in SATs).

First thoughts about Summer is vacation, of course.  The second, it's hot as the devil's underwear, in South Florida it gets extra sticky from the humidity, whereas in California it stays dry and uncomfortable.  The climate change from being tilted a few more degrees closer to the sun can be dreadful, that's why Spring and Fall rule as far as climate goes.  But Summer has it's break through it's break, and it gives kids something to look forward to at the end of the school year.

Graduation

All 13 years pf the schooling I have been through are closing.  The basic skills learned over these years has been a whole lot.  Should I be excited?  Yea, probably.  Am I?  Not really.

I love it when people ask me if I'm excited to finally be done with high school, cause come on, who doesn't want to be done with a structured schedule, and being herded between classes by the bell system?  For me graduation from high school is only a stepping stone.  For others it seems as if they have made it.  As if they accomplished a grand scheme against the system.  I feel stuck in the system still, but it's loosening up it's reigns a bit.  Once I'm out of college though, I have a feeling things will only go down hill unless I make something out of myself.  Or manipulate the system.

"Knowledge is Freedom"...first time I heard this was from Papoose of all people.  13 years of school, pretty ******* liberating.  Yet after all these years, in order to have any type of well off life, more than just flipping patties, you must have a degree., meaning more school.  UGH.

So as I see it, graduating doesn't mean any big accomplishment, but another holiday to celebrate and a reason to change schools.

Even worse, graduation is another event for a large crowd to gather and support a class.  It's worse because the valedictorian and saluditorian both speak in front of this crowd, so when they are bad speakers...it's a bad graduation.  Or it's bad when only the student speakers make an impression on the audience, and the rest of the speakers are like Homer Simpson..."Uhhhhh..." and "DOH!"  So that makes me not a fan of such events.

So toss your hats up for them apples.

The Night the V-cards are Given Away

Prom is supposed to be that magical party night where it is very easy to have a female's dress get lifted up. There are a sequence of events to lead to the next morning, but those vary between schools. The results are similar across the board, from true stories to the movies, getting lucky (in terms of the teenage virgin mindset). Most people view prom as a guaranteed night of having sex.

No one really cares for the origin of prom - simply because it reminds people of the British ******** that pressured our American colonies - but those looking to get laid always look forward to it.  For most, if you have a date, you and them will end up together at the end of the night.  Hopefully, not stuck together at the end of the year for another reason, ie. preggers.

As traditions go through high school, there is now "Grad Bash" then prom.  Where Grad Bash is the prequel of prom for everyone to see how loose people will get during prom.  If you are lucky, prom gets even worse...depending on the side of the glass you peer from.  But for the chaperones, prom can turn ugly, though that usually happens the next day, when you wake up next to "Coyote Ugly."

But for the night of, everyone looks nice, and hopefully it is a good time for all.  Except the nerds who decide to play WoW or go to Japanese festivals.

Prom has many ideas, other than sex, entailed within it, such as after parties.  Though each brings about the end result anyways.

New Word!

Put-put (n.) pronounced putt twice: any motor vehicle that is smaller than a tiny Sedan and is potentially a piece of crap within two years

Some examples:

• Golf Carts
• Segway
• Vespas

New Word!

I have certain words that will just come to mind during situations that aren't so clear within understanding, or just plain out aren't real.  So why not make some blog posts about them?

Ignotz (adj, n): one who acts foolish and stupid; to act foolish, stupid

Usually ignotz would be used as a noun, such as: Quit being an ignotz, that's your friend's mother.

Gangstas and Trekkies

Yes, I did go watch the movie "Star Trek." And there were Trekkies attending, as bad as that was, I found a few connections between Trekkies and the average gangsta.
The most outstanding thing between the two is that they enjoy throwing up their gang signs. The Vulcan sign (which I feel very geeky for even knowing at this point) is the Trekkie gang sign, go to a "Star Trek" convention and put it up, guaranteed the true Trekkies will have their hands up too. Similarly, gangs always throw some sign for their gang or hood they're representing; especially pictures, they might not smile, but a sign will be present.
Both gangs and Trekkies have uniforms. As Bloods claim the color red, and Crips claim blue, Trekkies claim the strange colors that can only match with black tight pants. When a gang member walks in the streets, you can tell he or she is in a gang. When a Trekkie walks in the streets, you can tell he or she is a Trekkie.
There are initiations to join gangs, not too sure about Trekkies, but I think to have watched all of the "Star Trek" episodes and thoroughly know the Trek universe inside and out.  Sure it's most likely less dangerous than joining a gang, but I'm sure it's just as time consuming if not more so.

I'm sure those with more intimate knowledge of either side can find more comparisons, but this is what I leave between Trekkies and gangstas.

Old People

Old people are a funny grouping of people.  Not only all the experience you could learn from them, but just some of the actions they perform.  Some examples of funny old people would be:

• Tricked-Out Golf Carts: Towards the central and northern parts of Florida you can find towns where old people pimp their golf carts like ghetto people trick out their cars.  So it's funny to see an old white guy driving a candy paint golf cart with chrome rims - what does a golf cart need rims for, let alone chrome (I had to ask the guy) - and a pair of fuzzy dice hanging from a rear-view mirror - a rear view mirror!? there's no point!  
• Extra Slow Old Drivers: As long as they aren't driving in front of you, slow old drivers is funny to watch them crawl on I-95 to the 595 ramp.  Which makes me wonder if they should be allowed to still drive cause the only reason for any person to go that slow is that you can't see - which could be caused by many thing: drugs, alcohol, blindness, etc.
• Extra Fast Old Drivers: I'm nosy when people speed passed me, I look straight into the car.  This makes it funnier when a  really old wrinkly person is flying passed me like they have a death wish, breaking the stigma as well.  It's worse when an old driver cuts you off by a slim margin.

Old people are funny, very funny.  Makes me hope that's how I'll be when I get old and wrinkly.

I'm the Epitome of Lazy

Today was the showed this to me.  Got home and slept all day.  Nice Friday though.
