Ok, so christmas is supposed to be all about the birth of Christ, right? Well, if you read between the lines, during the time of Jesus' birth, there were ppl harvesting. If he was born in the middle of winter in Palestine, where the winters are bitter and cold, how could they be harvesting? So why do we celebrate Christmas in winter? bcuz of the old paganistic Roman holiday (oh yeah, i mean "pagan" as in the old definition, meaning old religion). In said holiday, the men would exchange gifts, get hammered, and have a LOT of sex. (what else are they gonna do? it's the middle of winter!)

Well, i don't really care that much.... as long as i'm still getting presents for christmas, i'm happy.... lol........... actually i didn't do that bad this year... i got an iPod shuffle (the 2nd generation one) so that was pritty awesome........... my previous mp3 player was some piece of crap, no name brand thing from china.... i had to ask someone to help me translate the instructions so that I could change the settings to be in english. Plus, that one only had 128 meg. and the iPod i have now has 1 gig. It's a pretty big jump up, and i was running out of music to put on it. I couldn't even use my computer to put the songs on, bcuz, like most normal ppl w/ windows xp, i use windows media player. So all of my music is in WMA format. But when you try and sync stuff to the ipod w/ windows media player, it doesn't play. Apple forces you to use iTunes so that u'll buy their songs for a dollar each. And that is BULL. So, I had to go convert 1 gig of music to AAC format and put it into the iTunes library that I had to download on dial up connection, so it took forever and a half. ok, it was more like 3 hours, but that's still a long time when ur waiting to use ur christmas present. So i downloaded it and started converting my songs. But my computer has been having problems where the power source will cut out and it will die if you try and do too much. It's probably just dusty on the inside and it's overheating, but I can't open up my computer bcuz it's a really weird Sony, where the keyboard is attached to the moniter, which has the computer part connected to the back, and it's really small and compact. It's pretty much a laptop... except it doesn't have a battery, it only plugs in, and it really is a desktop. But anyways... i tried to convert my music, but every time I tried to convert the stuff, my computer would die..... it's so annoying!!! so I had to download iTunes to my mom's laptop and put all of the music onto my jumpdrive and move it over to my mom's laptop..... it took forever, but it ended up working.... but now my iPod takes forever and a half to charge, and it only charges when you plug it into the computer! how lame is that?

So christmas wasn't that bad.................. and new year's is coming soon... then i'll have to go back to school.... and i have like, 6 and a half billion things that I have to get done b4 school starts................... eh whatev. i'll get over it.... lol

Oh yeah, and to anyone who celebrates it, happy Kwanzaa! it started yesterday..... pritty kewl.... i actually just wrote an article about it in my school newspaper.............................

anywho, happy holidays to all u ppl out there.....

Happy Blogging....

Hey, I'm chillin at home. I'm starting a new IM account for AIM. Right now I have yahoo, but none of my friends use yahoo, so I'm making a second account.

Can anyone think of a cool screen name? My ideas haven't been that great. I have:

Beat mastuh

High on life

Tater salad

The parsimoniously gregarious Rastafarian revolutionary

(and yes, I know the definitions to all of those words, look them up if you don't)

or Cyber Pimp (this one I dont' like as much, it was just an idea)

help me out, here!

Ooh! I just thought of a really stupid one! Ass Cabbage!

L8TER,

Z

I'm sittin at the library again. I'm listennig to a mix that I made with beatles, billy joel, green day, and some weird spy music on it. I'm starting to listent to other bands like green day and ac/dc. They are pretty good.

Not  much is happening, I can't even do my homework here. Life is like a beach. We're all on the beach. Eventually we make a sandcastle and we live in it. We swim, we build, and a lot of the time, we just sit around. This analogy sucks. I'm not in a very inspirational mood, i guess. I'll write later tonight if anythign happens.

L8TER

I am in the library, bored. that's weird cause I love the library. I am sort of a book worm. I would have more to do, but my computer's keyboard is busted, it just doesn't work anymore. So, I couldn't print out my stuff here. I have a sony computer w/ a keyboard that folds up onto the screen.So, when it folds up, the screen changes and the computer turns into a music playing clock. Pretty freakin sweet.

I am gonna go find a book of piano sheet music...

later,

Z

I might as well write a little before I pass out. One of the pics I just added is a rubber duck with Michael Jackson's head on  it. Yeah, about that... I wrote this book, inspired by the movie, The Fifth Avacado (I still cry at the end... lol) It's called Ze Uuhgly Dockeling. You wouldn't get it unless I read it outloud, I tried to spell it the way that the words were pronounced. It was weird. If you would like to read it, I can email it to you, just leave a comment w/ yur email address.

I'm surprised that I dont' feel tired, maybe it was the twelve oz can of expresso... mmm... expresso....

I am listening to the beatles:

What would you think if I sang out of tune?

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and i'll sing you a song,

And i'll try not to sing out of key!

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,

Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends,

I get high with a little help from my friends,

From a little help ffrom my friends,

From a little help from my FRIENDS!

Yeah, man! Man, I shouldn't have drank that expresso shit...

I'm gonna go people-killing on runescape. Anyone else here play? It's like instant messanger, except you can kill people while you talk to them. Rock On!

Keep on keepin' on! Peace out.

I'm sittin' around... you know... doing... stuff... we're doing geometry in my math class and it is impeccably ritarded (if that is possible???). Geometry is so easy. Not to brag, but I have been in advanced classes ever since they offered them in school since like, first grade. I've had some kickass teachers and I've had teachers who I would like to kick in the ass. lol

So, I am doing homework and listening to some pretty lame music compared to what I normally listen to. A few good bands:

Rancid,

Dropkick Murphys (whatev)

Flogging Molley

Green Day (used to be underground punk, now = mainstream shit. fucking MTV...)

The Pixies (high bastards...)

Right now I am listening to The Beatles and Billy Joel. This music is like coffee for me. Otherwise, i would have passed out on the couch by now. I had a long day. Holy crap! I just remembered! It;s Valentines Day! I dont' know, Valentines day is kinda gay, it's too... pointless.

So there;s this saint dude, St. valentine. He's nice to people all his life and he gets beheaded. So we celebrate the day he died with a romantic, chocolate filled holiday? Let;s do the math:

Nice Saint + Beheading = Chocolate and Romance? WTF?!?! I don't think so! Somebody's calcamalater (cool word 4 calculater) is busted! Screw that! Anyways, i'm single. The closest person to being my valentine is my mom. lol Really. I was kidding.

So in my school, we had a concert where the higher grades jazz band came to my school and played. I am in band and I was amazed by how good they were compared to my grade. A year's worth of work can do a lot.

Yeah, i'm a band nerd. I;m in strings too so I'm twice the nerd. Plus the fact that I play dungeons and dragons (oh yeah, man. I;m the dungeon master. Kick Ass!) Band + Strings + D&D = SuperNerd! Look! Up in the sky! It's a nerd! Who's Insane! No, it;s Super Nerd! yeah, that;s me. I hang out with weird kids too. I'm pretty much friends with people in all the cliques in school. The D&D nerds, a few jocks, the Hawaian kid (he's one of my good friends), a few stupid kids, the hardcore... dumbasses, actually, I'm friends with everyone except the "popular people" except there are no real "popular" guys, they are all stereotypical rich blonde chicks (no offense to blondes, I know a lot of smart blondes). I'm friends with everyone because (from what people tell me) I'm funny. My nerd friends actually said that I am (direct quote) "too cool to be a nerd." This deeply disturbed me. Am I popular? I really dought that. whatev.

So, I;m here, listening to the beatles. Anyone else listen to any of the bands I mentioned? I was so into the Dropkick Murphys for  a long time,  they were the first rock band that I ever got into. They;re like irish rock shit if anyone is interested, check out some of their stuff, they're not bad. Rancid is really good, they're a good punk band. Pixies... any song that isn't on their "best of" cd is kinda crappy.

Well, I;m getting back to my math homework. L8TER

Sorry I haven't written for a while, I have been realy busy. With chinese new year and homework of all types, I have been constantly busy.

My one teacher was crowned the "projct queen" last year for a reason. Her projects are always fun, but f**k are they hard. Also, I kind of have problems with OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). For one thing, I am always a perfectionist. When I was a baby, I took all the labels off of the canned food in the cabinet and said "now everything is neat!" or something to that extent. So, we had mystery dinner for a while. Also, I always try to make all of my projects perfect. For a twenty-point project for Ulysses, we were supposed to make a monster, a story, and a gift to give to Ulysses to help him defeat the said monster. This was supposed to be a simple, one day project.  I went all out and found PVC pipe that I had no idea that we had, bought wooden dowels, used up a whole roll of duct tape and half a can of gold spray paint to make this great sword. Since it was hollow (the main part was a length of pvc pipe) I took 3 pieces of chalk and scribbled on sand paper to make powder which I poured into the pipe and said that it was a magical elixer of death. I worked my ass off! For a twenty point project! Needless to say, I got full credit for it. But here's the kicker: there was a kid who was absent the day when the project was assigned. He came in  the next day, watched a few people present, and said, "I'm ready to present now." His "gift" was one of his shoes that somehow shrank a monster and Ulysses uses the shoe to squish the monster or something. He also got an A+. See? So, I am working on my "perfection problem."

My sister is being frequently threatened by my dad, she wants to move back into my house with me and my mom, and my dad is being an all around ass-wipe as usual. The most recent event was: My sister got back from her friend's house drunk. She went home and when my dad started yelling at her for being drunk, she threatened him by saying that she has friends who will try and hurt him if he does anything to him. Now, she didn't mean this as a threat to him, she meant that she has friends who are convicts out of jail, murderers who she has been friends with for years who care very much about her, people who , if they hear what her dad does will find him and torture and/or kill him. Painfully. My dad took it as, "If you hurt me, I will have people kill you." He always takes things the wrong way. She doesn't want people to hurt him, in fact, if they do hurt him, she will be the one in trouble! She is warning him! Well, either way, my dad is a total bung-hole.

Well, for the punishment for coming home drunk, instead of saying that she cannot go to that kid's house, he said that she cannot visit my mom's house (my house) on the weekends! That's not a punishment! You are supposed to see your parents regularly! It's not a punishment or a reward, it's just what you do! It's in your rights as a parent to see your children, and that is a right that my dad just took away from my mom! So we thought, "Screw That!" This morning, we went and visited their house while my dad was gone! We got their and my dad left. As soon as he left, we pulled out a feast from the car. We bought a 5lb bag of tater-tots (my sister's favorite breakfast food), a bunch of Idian desserts from an asian store near our house, three boxes of sushi for lunch, and a Valentine's Day gift for her; 100 Years of Comic Strips. It's a great book and a good gift idea. We thought that it would give her something to read so that she doesn't have to deal with my dad as much. We also brought over a prety goodmove for her to watch. It's called "Together." It's about this kid in china who plays the violin really well and how his peasent dad tries to find him a violin teacher in Beijing. It works out because my sister plays the violin pretty well and we're chinese and stuff. It is in chinese with english subtitles. If you are interested in watching it, it is a pretty good movie, but is is kind of juvenille, a kiddy movie. But, it's good all the same.

I gotta go, more to come later!

Yeah, just finshing up my entry.

Life is pretty hectic, just started another project, I am studying da vinci and stuff. My visual aide = adapted (by me) version of the aerial screw flying-machine. Pretty sweet, no? Whatev, it;s gonna be freakin hard to build though, it'll probably end up as just a drawing, or something like, 10 inches tall made of popsicle sticks... well, I'll try. L8TER

Life has been hard. My mom is now in law school, second year. She is doing well, but is occupied by work all the time.

    My mom and dad are divorced and i live with my mom, so I am supposed to visit my dad on the weekends. But, being in 6th grade, I have a project due every five days. So, I have not seen my dad for 3 months. Not that I care, he is a dumbass, but he is mad because, "I cannot see my son because he is too busy for his dad."

One weekend, we asked if he wanted to come over to our place on sunday morning, but he refused because every sunday for a while, he has gone to have breakfast with his buddies. Pretty much, they sit and talk for hours. One time, they sat and talked so long, they just stayed in the same resturaunt and ordered lunch. Needless to say, I get bored.

Okay, recently I had a problem w/ this kid in my grade, Ardum(his name is Russian, I think). He is a total idiot who likes to pick fights and insult people for no apparent reason. To say the least, he gets in trouble a lot.

A little while back, Arty (his nickname that he gave himself) started picking on one of my friends. This kind of pissed me off because my friend (kind of nerdy) was just sitting and reading on the playground, and Arty just comes over and starts bothering him. I started arguing and cursing at Ardum, and it started a war. It ended up with him getting suspended for a day and me off the hook. I am good at sweet-talking the principal and persuading teachers. Ardum acted indifferently and only said things like, "Whatever..." and "...like I care..." This made the principal very angry. It was hilarious.

My mom, looking for the truth about my sister, went onto her blog in Myspace.com The results were disasturous.

One time, my sister went to a Misfits concert. She came home that night and told us all about it and how it was sooo much fun. In her blog, she told that, actually, they got kicked out for smoking weed in the building! I mean, wtf is up with that? She told how she is still smoking, she still does drugs with her friends, she still gets in trouble all the time. My mom was so surprised about all that she found, she went to her friend's blogs. Her one friend told how, on thanksgiving, she asked for a piece of pie and her dad called her... well, I will just give you the dialogue:

Dad:You are a worthless piece of s**t.

Friend:Suck my dick (this friend is a girl.)

Dad:Yeah, you'd like that, wouldn't you, you little slut.

It goes on... It was so rude and obnoxious, it seemed fictional. Most of my sister's friends are like that.

 More to come L8TER, I was sick and am making up homework... this may take a while...

k. I have a sister who causes all of the main events and occurences in my life. She is like 15ish and loves punk rock metal. She even got me into punk music.

My mom came from China 20 yrs ago when she met my dad as a Chinese-English interpreter. She came with him back to Troy OH ,where I used to live, to live on this shitty little farm house. No toilet, only a kitchen sink, i mean, shit, they used a fricken 5 gallon paint bucket as a toilet! They didn't have a stove and my dad, although he was, and still is, rich, refused to buy one, so my mom cooked on the wood burner in the basement, where they lived in the 2 floor house because the rest of the house was not finished yet. if you have ever seen or used a wood burner before, you will know that it is as hot on the top (where she cooked) as it is on the front and sides (where she burned herself frequently). After years of burns while cooking, she insists on having a stove and my dad just pulls one out of the attic. He had one there the whole time, but didn't want to take it out because it was his mother's. His stupid, mean, selfish, gossiping mother.

So, pretty much my dad is a fricken ass hole.

My mom (of course) divorced him when i was in kindergarten and we moved into an apartment out in more of a city. We were surrounded by rich snobs and we were poor. My mom was a student in college (her degrees in China don't count in the US). She transferred from Kent state to John Carrol University. She was an English major because she was foreign and couldn't speak very well and when she went into John Carrol, she started aspiring to go to law school, so she also took constitutional law.

She has graduated, finishing her degree, and was accepted into law school. She made it through the hardest year (first year) and is now in her second year.

Now back to my sister...

During the time when my parents got divorced, she was supposed to be in 4th grade. But, because Troy had a lower level education system and the fact that her birthday is right at the end of the school year, she was able to take 3rd grade "again". That left her top of the class for a while. now don't get me wrong, she is really a smart person, but she just slacks off and doesn't do her work, gets A+'s on tests and fails her home work, ending up with shitty grades.

In the 5th grade, she had a horrible teacher who put my sis into depression. This teacher was bad. There was a really nice boy in my sister's class. but, he had a metabolism problem, so if he ate a little, he gained a lot. To say the least, he is over weight. Once in class, they needed a story problem and the teacher said (X is the kid) "If X eats 50 pizzas and then eats 70 more..." or something like that. It had to do with pizza. That was just one of the mean things that she did. that woman was a total bitch.

From the 5th grade on, my sister started smoking, drinking, doing drugs (under pressure from her ex who was stalking her and putting coke in her kool aid), drawing sad, negative, and satanistic pictures, and most of all, she started listening to loud rock music. I got used to it and actually started to like some of it, like the band Rancid ;P but some of it was just too much for me. Now, she is in to Screamo-metal shit, or just anything that makes my dad angry.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... after the depression, like years later, she decided that she liked Troy more than where I live now because all of her friends are in Troy, so she went to live with my dad. Fine with me! Now we don't have to share rooms in this cramped apartment.

Well, as you can see if you have read this far, my life's history kinda sucks ass. Don't worry. It gets worse. Wait until you hear about my present life...

Hey, I'm kinda new here... I started this blog to document the strange fiction-like events of my life that make it suck so much... readers beware... emotional feelings will be let out into this blog any chance I get... Don't say I didn't warn you...
