3 year Anniversary...
2005-05-20 11:04:08
Aw man, I missed my 3-year anniversary last night. What anniversary do you ask? Well, the one of being a member here of course!
I wanted to make sure I wrote a Journal entry yesterday, but I only got home around 1:00am, and I guess I fella asleep again. So annoying. I still haven't completed an all-nighter yet since coming back from University. But what's worse is when I get close, fall asleep, wake up early, but then go back to sleep. I hate waking up around 11:00am (like today) and thinking back about how I had woken up around 7:30am, only to be lazy and go back to sleep.
I was actually going to work on my website last night... Oh well, that's another project that will never be fully realized.
Better get back to cleaning, making phone calls, and taking names! (Just a little take on Reggie Fils-Aime) lol

Nintendo's big day...
2005-05-18 00:44:57
I just got back from watching The Others with my girlfriend. That's a pretty good movie. Though I need to watch it a second time to understand most of the stuff from the beginning. lol
So... today was Nintendo's conference day at E3. And there were some pretty impressive things. Not as much as I had hoped, but enough. First, we got to see what Revolution will look like. Now that's one sweet looking machine. I mean, the size of only 3 DVD cases? Awesome. Then seeing the newest Zelda trailer. Amazing. And the new GBA Micro? Whoa, that was out of left field... lol I wish there was some footage from Revolution, or even some technical specs, but I guess you can't win them all.
Right now I'm just watching some trailers from all the conferences, and seeing for anything new. It's quite interesting.
Later, I think I'm going to just watch some television. ~_^

Over a 1000 banners...
2005-05-14 11:55:02
That sure is a lot. I'm glad though that the input has finally slowed down somewhat. We no longer have a dumb queue of about 100 new banners. That was just a bit too much.
I finally wrote another AMV opinion. It had been a real long time since I had last done that. Hopefully I'll start writing them on a regular basis again.
I checked out my website the other day. It's been so long since I had last updated that thing. I think I'm going to post a whole bunch of new stuff though from Unviersity, That would be cool.
I still don't have a job. This is starting to become embarrassing for myself. But I have a backup plan. I hope to learn from my father how to sell stuff off of eBay. It's one of the things my father does to earn money. He buys a whole lot of junk, and sells it on eBay slowly, for a little extra cash. If I did that, it would pay a lot more than some little summer job offering minimum wage, for a less work. Hopefully in time I'll start selling anime merchandise. That would be really cool.
I would some anime DVDs the other day. I couldn't believe it, Rahxephon for $4.99 each. But they only had two. But I also got the Nadia movie for the same price. This is what happens when you search the discount section at Zellers. lol!
Not once this summer have I stayed up all night. Everytime I've fallen asleep at one point. I must be getting old or something. Last night I fell asleep at 4:00am while watchign tv. The other day I slept half sitting on my chair, the other half on my bed. I need to start drinking coffee, or take it easy a few days, so I'm rested up to finally get down to it. -_-

The big lecture...
2005-05-10 21:39:31
My positive and cheerful attitude has just about run out.
Today I got a bit talking to about my attitude as a whole. My parents talked to me about not having a job, and how I've been treating the whole situation. They figure I'm so laid back about it because in theory I know no matter what, I'll be going to school next year. So my dad gave me a whole bunch of examples about people who NEED to work just to survive, and if they don't make any money, they simply can't go to school. Well, now doesn't that explanation make me feel totally dependant on my parents, which I do not believe I am. They basically revolved the whole conversation about how "subconsciously" I'm taking advantage of them. They even started going into the whole "We make lots of sacrifices that you don't even know about". Tell you the truth, I have a lot of trouble respecting people who lay guilt trips on people.
In a way, I understand what they're talking about. But at the same time, they don't seem to understand my personal feelings on the matter. Why not tell them? Because I haven't figured out a way to explain it properly without them jumping down my throat. My parents are very good at arguing a point, but while being blind to the opposition's way of thinking. This makes them difficult to deal with. It's one of the reasons I don't bother saying what I think anymore. They feel compelled to change your mind, because obviously they are right. They're not mean about it or anything, but they expect you to have been persuaded by their argument. And in the end, agree with their point of view. So I nod my head and just go along with what they say. As long they pay for most of my schooling, my shelter and my food, I basically rely on them to survive and to live my everyday life. ...And that's why I don't feel like I even own my own life.

In a burst of anger...
2005-05-08 04:10:38
This afternoon I was so annoyed with everything. I just ended up leaving my house by bike, and chilled out for the next 5 hours.
A bunch of things have been bothering me. I mean, of course one of the things is that I don't have a job yet. But it doesn't help that my parents breathe down my neck about it everyday. I found a cheque from my grandmother from my birthday the other day. So I got a lecture about not managing my money correctly. This morning my brother and I have been told that every Saturday we have to do 4 hours of work around the house, because supposedly we do nothing around here. I don't know about you, but whenever my parents ask for help, I help. I don't exactly remember the last time I told them to $%*# off when they wanted my help. -_- This morning my mother woke me up in the midst of a spat with my father. So her annoyance with him got deflected on to how it was 1:00pm, and I was still not up. I don't know about you, but I just spent the last 8 months eating and sleeping on my own clock. I can't exactly just turn things around now that I'm at home. I work well at night. Too bad for them if it doesn't make sense to do anything past 11:00pm.
Anyways, I left in a bit of a rage, but cooled off pretty fast by myself. I lay in the grass, overseeing the road for awhile. Checked out some of the new releases at the movie store. Played at the arcade too. Then cooled off at Dairy Queen. Picked up a few résumés and finished off by spending a bit of time at Chapters.
Once home (9:00pm), I had dinner, and watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. My girlfriend came over later in the night, and left around 2:00am. Since then I've played darts, had a snack, and am now here... I don't think I'm even going to bother sleeping tonight, especially if I end up sleeping in like yesterday. lol
