Destiny Strikes again!

Hello readers!

So, finally, after 2 weeks of telling myself every night, "Ok, I'm going running in the morning" I actually did. So, instead of my normal, wake up at 8:30, look at the clock, think for a second and go, "ah, screw it, I'll go running tommorow." I made a bet with a friend of mine that whoever didn't go running, unless there was a good excuse, that person would owe the other person a dolor. So, not wanting to loose a dolor, I woke up, got on my running pants, and darted out the door. I started out good, but after a half of a mile I had to stop, and I walked the rest of the way.

On the way back I ran into a wise old man and he gave me some good advice. Advice like, "stay in school, but don't just stay in there, take what you learn to practical use." "Be prepared for Change because Life will throw you curve-balls." He told me of this three sons, his youngest is 43, which should give you some indication of his age. I sensed a bit of sadness, but also hope. I very much wish to see him again, hopefully it will be not in this lifetime though. I want to one day tell him of my life, and how his advice has helped me. He was a very wise old man, and I pray God will bless the rest of his days here on Earth.

Great article on America

I was browsing Digg, and I came across this Article...

When did America Become a Nation of Frightened Wimps?

Really really good Article, shows what the terrorists really are doing, we've become afraid of the dark pretty much. Afraid of what's not there, and we just let the government take care of it. Really sad for the Country who 200 years ago made a stand against injustice, faught and died for freedom, and then we get to throw it all away because someone flew a plane into a building. After that it's, "OH NO! THERE'S A PAPER CLIP ON A PLANE, HE'S GUNNA TURN IT INTO AN ATOMIC BOMB LIKE MCGYVER!!! LIEK THER U R A TERRORIST D00D!" I mean of all things to take away. You can't even have a nail file with you. what is a little nail file gunna do to you? scrape you up? give you a paper cut? People these days are so worried about feeling the slightest bit uncomfortable and they get all worked up over it. Worst part is, they expect the government to deal with there problems. It's a sad day when the government has to deal with the petty affairs of people.

*cough*

that's my rant for the day. :P

Don't you just hate it when you can think of nothing to blog about?

Yeah, that's me, I have no idea what to blog about. I've thought about writing a review on some games, or SG1/Atlantis, or Battlestar Galactica, or anything. But nothing comes to mind. So I figured, what the hay, I'll just talk about music.

There's two bands I'm really into right now, one is Within Tempation (All credit goes to Marissa on that one, she introduced them to me), the other is Nightwish (I got her into that one, her and her sister). Both have a similar sound, and is pretty much metal opera. :P Unlike the usual metal you'd think coming from Scandinavia, there's no screaming (or not much anyway, The male vocals in Nightwish are quite harsh sounding), and both band's main vocalists are Sopranos.

Both bands are very heavy on the synth and has a very medieval/fantasyish sound to them, and in one of Nightwish's songs (Creek Mary's Blood), a friend of the band, an American Indian, sings and plays some kind of wind instrument.

I haven't heard much of either band's old stuff, just their two recent CDs, Nightwish's Once, and Within Tempation's The Silent Force. Both great CDs, I recomend them to anybody who likes metal and soundtracks. Cause that's pretty much what it is, a soundtrack with a metal twist to it, good good stuff.

That was the quickest I've ever been sick

ok, so I just broke my fever.

Yeah, I was only sick for a few hours. Just sick enough to miss my class!

Wewt! :-P

I promise, next update is going to be good.

Sick... AGAIN!

Yeah, I'm sick, again!

I mean for crying out loud. I duno what's up with me. I usually get sick, once a year. Maybe twice, but never 3 months from each other.

I think I need to start taking vitamins again, I think my immunity is finally wearing off. (Mom made me take vitamins when I was in grade school, one year I didn't get stick at all... Actually I think my record is 3 years without getting sick.)

I also think I need to start getting more exorcise. That would be a good thing.

Anyway, it's not as bad as last time, thankfully. But it still sucks. Hopefully I'll be better by tomorrow.
