my bucket list

no, i'm not being morbid, nor did i just watch the bucket list. i was merely thinking of things i wanted to do in life while i was driving home tonight.

things i want to do before i kick the bucket (not in order):
  • understand the inner workings of a car engine & transmission
  • understand how the human brain controls our motions & emotions
  • ride a Harley cross-country via Route 66
  • pilot an airplane across the world
  • have a full intelligent conversation in fluent Mandarin
  • unleash a wicked guitar solo worthy of Satriani
  • help build a school, home, well, ect. for someone who needs it
  • skydive
  • teach a child to love reading as much as i do
  • make a real, honest-to-goodness, difference in someones life
  • scuba dive on a coral reef
  • make a scientific breakthrough or discover something truly new
  • be perfectly happy with my job/career
  • 100% "Through Fire & Flames" on expert in guitar hero

fluteboxing... and more excuses

Fluteboxing? for a second, before i clicked the link, i thought it was going to be guys whacking each other with flutes. but this is way cooler. dude's name is Nathan 'Flutebox' Lee in case you wanna google him or something.


so my excuses for not blogging for 12 days include:
  • adding 30 more hours to my Final Fantasty XII total (i got through the whole Ritoran Cataract level yesterday, only took me 2 hours... i think i deserve a medal for not giving in to the temptation to cheat for that esper battle on the 80th floor (not the one with Dr. Cid or Gabronth)!)
  • enjoying Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog enough to have spent 4 hours of my life on it (that's watching the entire thing SIX times people...)(i hate you, Mat, for sending me the link)
  • lots of HogwartsLive, an online text based role-playing game (again, i hate you Mat)
  • actually reading Harry Potter (which probably, if you add up the entire time i spent physically reading the books, took 10.5 hours, being 1.5 hours per book.)(i read really fast and i know the HP books by heart already)
  • stressing out about (but not studying for) 7 exams i've taken this week, 3 of which could shape the face of my entire future by either propelling me straight into the depths of burger-flipping hell or getting me into FSU. im thinking i maybe should have studied...

ozzy is THE MAN



he can make fun of himself. he really doesnt have THAT bad a speech problem, they just kinda edit it so he sounds more retarded than he is. but yeah, he's the man. i like ozzy.

say it with me...

"Awwwwwwwwwwww....."


Shame Faced

i am ashamed. i know that nobody and their brother reads this (ok, maybe like 9 people on a REALLY GOOD day) but it still makes me feel all guilty when i dont actually put something up. particularly for such a long period of time, with no notice whatsoever. unfortunately, it happened and now im completely out of the swing of things. might take me a while to get back into said swing. but i owe and explanation to all 6 of you who don't already know.

i went to the one part of the country that still doesnt have wifi in any restaurants! for a whole week! and then i got back and figured out that i missed an insane amount of homework. and quarter tests are next week, and exams are coming up. im freaking out! i dont have time to parouse the internet for cool things to post. its kinda sad. so commence crappy bio moment *cringes*
  • Hiawassee, GA is incredibly boringly un-connected. I'm sure that's part of its appeal for the older set, but being a teenager, I was practically in a coma.
  • Portal: Still Alive (the video game) is a fricken amazing game!!! the credit song is also hilarious.
  • Rocky Horror is still funny on the 3rd time going! so a tradition has begun!
  • 3 Doors Down put up a good concert last night! they didn't play Going Down in Flames, but thats a really kinda old song so it doesnt matter that much. but it IS one of my favoritest ever songs.
  • I'm flat broke already, even though i got my paycheck/allowance thing yesterday. stupid concert tees, food, and transportation! i debate getting a job at one of the new Publix springing up all over town. i have grocery store experience after all. but i might wait til late January when i turn LEGAL so i can get a job at the Starbucks down the street. i hear they pay well, and you get free stocks and a free pound of coffee every month!!!
  • An old lady rearended the back of my truck yesterday. results: one of my bumper stickers is kinda scratched a little. Her hood was totally crumpled and a headlight is completely cracked. I have a newfound affection for the Gas-Guzzling Beast.
Breaking News: High School sucks! College is slightly more tolerable. If only i could get all the way out of the former and all the way into the latter. High school is getting so tedious and annoying... waking up so early for classes you have no say in taking or not... the busywork assigned to keep kids from socializing... the way gossip and rumors spread like wildfire, because the only thing interesting anymore is a made up scandal... the monotonous and unchanging learning atmosphere...
it could just about drive a poor impressionable teenage mind completely bonkers.
