What a wonderful way to start Monday.

The only thing I can think of to say is… thank goodness prom weekend is over.  It was hellish from start to finish.  I’m not one to make big deals out of any sort of event, but everyone else had one jolly time of doing the work for me.  Prom night itself was pretty nice, but all the work that went into having to get ready for it was just downright exhausting.  It’s Monday morning and I’m still tired.

Enough about prom.

I’m feeling horrible this morning.  Not because it’s Monday and I’m back at school, but because I was driving down the road and a little bird flew out in front of me.  Initially, I thought the airflow from the car had created a pillow that would block it from contact with the car, but I guess the concept didn’t work.  I had to turn around and go back to check if it was alright, which entailed having to turn around about five times to get back to the spot.  I found the little bird on the side of the road with a broken neck (made me feel a little better… fast death), but I still felt like crap.  I picked it up and set it farther back in the grass so it wouldn’t get squashed by someone.

It’s still bothering me.  But I guess there are bigger things to worry about in life… unfortunately.

In completely unrelated news, I was thinking about converting this into some sort of book review blog.  That way I could have an affiliation with Amazon.com and make some money while informing people about books.  For some reason it sounds like quite the exciting idea.  It only works if someone buys the book from Amazon via a link here on the blog… but I think I could pull a guilt trip and make people buy the book to make contributions towards the airplane fund.  I mean, there’s no extra expense for people buying the book… so it’s a plus all the way around!

It might work.  It just might work…. 

Why I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton…

I rarely watch television anymore… if I do, its a movie or the weather. I don’t even bother to watch the news anymore. Care to know the reason why? Because every single time I even think about watching MSNBC or CNN, there’s always something about a dope in Hollywood or a dope who’s running for President. I made a comment to my Mum a few days ago while watching CNN that it’s getting pretty difficult to distinguish between the antics of Hollywood and the drama of politics.

It wasn’t until the 3AM commercials that I hit my limit. I was absolutely perplexed at how Hillary Clinton could manage to get away with something like that. The commercial makes no sense whatsoever. What kind of moron would call the White House at 3AM? Why, someone from the other side of the world, of course! Maybe Sarkozy didn’t remember the extensive time difference between the U.S. and France. Maybe Ahmadinejad just wanted to call and see how the weather is in D.C… who knows?

All I know is it’s quite possibly the lamest commercial I’ve seen this year. She should’ve wasted her money on something that made a bit more sense.

To be perfectly honest, I’m glad I can’t vote in this year’s election. Even if I wasn’t only 17, I wouldn’t bother for the simple fact that I feel none of the candidates have the required credentials to hold the honorary title of President of the United States.

That’s my two cents.

Strange men at GameStop and Keyboredom.

I set this post up quite awhile ago as a draft… apparently I never got around to writing about what I wanted to a few weeks ago, which was my interesting experience in GameStop. I was standing in line waiting to buy the Platinum Edition of Guild Wars and I was behind two semi-old guys (over 40) who happened to be rambling on about online RPG’s. The guy on the left was about 6′5″, heavyset, and he reminded me of the character in the movies who’s sitting at the computer in the dark with a Mountain Dew  and he’s trying to hack into the Federal Government terminal. The guy on the right was a little bit shorter, but he looked like something that came up from the Underworld - sketchy, long green rain jacket, wild grayish hair… and he reeked of cigarettes and a noticeable lack of proper hygienic care. For some reason he kept bragging about his level 35 paladin… and the fat guy said something about kids being “kleptomaniacs” or whatever. I had a blast of a time laughing to myself… it was amazing how much self control was needed to keep from interjecting into the conversation to say something about my level 43 warrior, just to be a smart ass. Hell, I didn’t even know which game they were talking about… but all RPG’s have a warrior class, so it’d be legit.

Anyway, that’s my GameStop story from a few weeks ago. In other funny news, I was extremely bored today and I decided to take all the keys off my keyboard to clean it.

Note the “ROFL” and “UP”. Yep, rofl up!

F and J had to be in the same spot… but I had no idea that X found its way home. No idea if I’ll change it… probably not.

Anyway, g’night.
