| Last Game |
| 11.14.03 (4:31 pm) [edit] |
|
The last home football game of the year is tomorrow, and i, for one, am glad. Im worn out from all the marching we have had to do lately, and i will be glad to take a break for a while. After tomorrow, the class will be over, so ill have free time late in the day now. It will also give me more time to work on my other subjects too. The finals are drawing nearer, and i need all the extra time i can get at this point to study. Guess thats it for now, thanks for dropping by.

| Pip Attacks! |
| 11.11.03 (3:51 pm) [edit] |
Well, i said that i would kick Pip's tail if he showed up, but now im starting to wonder if perhaps i was a little bit hasty in my responce...and i need to go to the store real quick too. Ah, i know what to do. *Jon starts to rumage around under the couch* Come on, i know its here somewhere...aha! I found it. *He blows on a tiny whistle and several dwarves appear* You guys watch over the blog while i am away okay? *Jon leaves the blog to go to Blog Guardians R Us to buy some decent guards.*

(Dwarf Chief): "Well, make yourselves comfortable boys, looks like we have the run of the joint, Hi Ho. I wonder what he wants us to guard against though?" (Dwarf 1): "Hi Ho,perhaps against his mother-in-law?" (Dwarf 2): "He isnt married dummy, its the vicious dust bunnies he is worried about, Hi Ho!" (Dwarf 3): "Hi Hi Ho, no, it is little pickles that he is afraid of!" (Dwarf 4): "Hi Ho Hi Ho, it must be the killer clowns! That has to be it." (Dwarf 5): "Fools, he is worried about a deranged psychotic monster descending in a machine of destruction to annialate the entire blog, Hi Ho Ho!" *the other dwarves look at number 5 like he is crazy* (Dwarf Chief): "Well, whatever the reason, im sure it is nothing to worry about, Hi Ho." *Suddenly an ominous humming fills the air* (All Dwarves): "What is that noise?!"
[image]Silverbolt_1350577 014.gif[/image]
*Pip descends from the sky in the spaceship* "Woo, time for a little fun!" (Dwarves): "HI HO?!" *The dwarves scatter in every direction as pip hums to himself. "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, its frying dwarves i go!" *Pip makes quick work of the dwarves, then starts on Silverbolt's blog* "Lets see now...fist the couch, then the TV, then the pictures on the wall, then..." *Pip goes about systematically dismantling the blog, piece by piece, zapping holes in the walls and ceiling.*Pip laughs to himself, as he leaves, leaving behind him a total mess of destrction and devistation* "Hahaha, now, on to the next blog!" *Pip continues to laugh as he zooms off into the distance*
*Jon returns to his blog a short time later* "Hiya guys, im back, and boy did i get some cool guards, id like to see Pip come close to this blog now..." *his voice fades away as he stares at the destruction* :shock: "what the...im too late...darn you Pip! Ill get you for this, ill get you if its the last thing i do!" *The scene fades out, Jon still spouting dire threats and curses at Pip, but just be fore he turns to leave, he smiles* "Oh, this isnt over...my new purchases will see to that! Have your laugh now Pip, but your days are numbered! Muwahahaha!"

| Heating... |
| 11.11.03 (9:18 am) [edit] |
|
Have you ever been to a place that keeps the temperature either so cold or so hot that it becomes uncomfortable? Well, our dorm takes that to the extreme! Up until this week, the AC has been on full blast, making me have to constantly use the blanket to keep warm. We cant control the temperature because it is central heating, so we have to live with whatever they set. This week they turned on the heating, and let me tell you, THEY TURNED ON THE HEAT! I sit here writing this blog entry, actually sweating as i type. I cant lean back in the chair or my back starts to sweat terribly. For an idea of just how bad this is, i can jog in 80 degree whether and hardly break a sweat. It must be close to 100 degrees...its so hot i cant even sleep at night. I wish the people running the heating and air actually cared about the comfort of the residents here, but apparently they are satisfied with going from one extreme to the other. I dont know about the others in the building, but i am having trouble working in class because im not getting enough sleep. Perhaps one day they will listen to the people complaining about the discomfort, but i doubt it, lol. I would simply open a window to let the heat out, except that the window is so messed up that it wont open. Meh, oh well, guess thats all for now. See ya later. 8)

| Normal |
| 11.10.03 (4:30 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, it was another normal day at school for the most part. We did get out of Zoology class early today though...the teacher apparently came down with a bad cold, and it made talking to the class very difficult. It was already hard to hear her because she speaks very quietly and it is a big room, so after a few minutes she said "just forget it, i cant talk and you dont want to listen anyway...and none of us want to be here, so go ahead and take the time off!" Woo Hoo! Nothing better then getting out of class early, lol. Band was normal for the most part, except that we stayed marching until after dark...so we ended up freezing our tails off, not to mention that i couldnt see where i was marching. I have no idea if the last few moves that i did were right, but since i didnt run into anyone and end up in the hospital i figure i couldnt have done too bad, lol. Well, thats about it for now, thanks for dropping by. :)

Meh, for some reason the last couple entries that i have tried to post did not work, so today i will be giving a brief run through of events that have occured since my last entry. First of all, classes went normally for the most part, so lets not bother with that. On thursday night it was warm enough to make me glad that the AC was on in my room...but when friday morning rolled around it was like stepping into a freezer when i went outside! It made things worse that the AC was still going in our room...can you say ice cubes?! I headed home on friday and went to the high school football game, where i started to work at the consession stand. It was still really cold, and the people seemed to be surviving on our hot chocolate and coffee...I was working on the coffee and my brother was at the chocolate, and let me tell you, we never had a second of rest. After a while i started feeling really sick, and i had to leave...i felt sorry for kenneth having to keep working while i got out of it, but at the time i was feeling so bad that it couldnt be helped. After i got home i took some medicine and jumped on the computer. It was kind of creepy listening to the house creeking upstairs, and at one point it sounded like there was actually someone walking around up there, but i didnt really pay it much attention. There are often times wierd noises that come from the house, and i have become used to it....mostly. Anyway, that pretty much brings us up to date, and hopefully this will post without any problems. Sorry that it has taken this long to post again, and thanks for stopping by.

| 11.04.03 (5:57 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, i have made a couple minor changes to my blog...it probably wont help much, but i guess it doesnt really matter. As you have hopefully heard, i have changed my music. I have also added the disclaimer and rotating header. I havent had much to talk about lately exept for our new marching band show, which is going to be another western show. Please tell me what you think of the changes, thank you.

| Game Day |
| 11.01.03 (4:04 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, the dat is finally over, for the marching band, and i for one am thanking god it is through. We got up at 7:00 and marched and played till 5:30...cymbals were not meant to be used for such a long time period, lol. The leather straps of the handles have blistered my hands pretty bad, and my arms are so tired that i cant even move them...i am typing this blog with my nose! =P I was hoping some friends would be there, and they said they would come, but i guess they didnt feel like it, so they stayed home...ah well, they missed an awesome performance. We marched in a parade today, and if that wasnt bad enough, we had an extra long pregame show because some high school bands joined us. On yop of that, it was homecoming too, so today has been really rough...i think im going to hit the sack early tonight, so ill end it here. Woo Hoo for the band!

| Halloween in college |
| 10.31.03 (5:06 pm) [edit] |
|
Yes, i can feel the constricting bonds of depression tightening around me as the night goes on, thinking of the fun i could be having with friends. But no, im stuck here in the dorm with no company eccept for my brother (and i put up with him enough already, lol) and it is truely wieghing down my spirits. I sit here and listen to the people outside the door, walking past and talking about the things they will be doing tonight, and i cant help but think that they dont really appriciate the freedom they have tonight...ah well, things are what they are i guess, cant change it now. And still my mind wanders through the passages of memory, recalling the past...

| Halloween... |
| 10.31.03 (3:58 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, here it is...halloween...the spooks and spectars are out in force and im stuck here in my dorm. No dressing up, no seeing friends, not even a bag of candy... These are the times i really miss the younger days. To make matters worse, the former cymbal leader is back...apparently she lied about how bad she had been injured to get out of marching, but the doctor said she was fine, so she was forced to come back...im really not enjoying this halloween much...I hope everyone else has a good time. Happy Halloween.

| No Cymbal Leader For You! |
| 10.29.03 (4:35 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, i went to band class as usual today, expecting to have to endure the cold, the boredom of simple music, and the blah blah blah from our no good cymbal leader, but it turned out that i was in for a pleasant surprise this evening. It wasnt as cold as i thought it would be, but what really made me happy was learning that the cymbal leader twisted her ankle during intramural sports, and would not be marching for the rest of the season! Iknow, i know, im supposed to feel bad about her hurting herself, but its hard when i think that i wont have to listen to her griping for the rest of the year. On top of that, there are rumors that we will be needing a new cymbal leader, and i am the prime candidate. I offered to have a drum-off with the other cymbal player for leadership, but he said that if it came to that, he would forfeit to me. So, things are looking up for me now, but id like to get the opinion of some friends...do you think i should pick up the whip and take control, or should i let things slide and just play my part without worrying about anyone else? Just wondering...

| The Orange From Hell! |
| 10.29.03 (12:41 pm) [edit] |
It has come to my attention that several friends are wondering about a certain story that my dad told at our house a little while ago, so i am putting the story here, so that everyone can have a good laugh. Bare in mind that this story was told by my dad, so whether or not all or any of it is true is debateable, but here it is anyway...
It was a long time ago(about the time that dinosaurs came into existence, lol) and i believe he said he was going to high school at the time. My dad said that he had tried pot before, and that it hadnt had any affect on him. So one day a couple of his buddies came up to him and asked if he wanted to experience a real high, and he said okay, so they gave him what he assumed was simple pot. What he didnt know at the time was that his "buddies" had laced it with opium and lord knows what else. So they smoke a little, had a few laughs, and started walking through this orchard...an orange orchard. Well, about this time they started getting the munchies pretty bad, so they started eating the oranges. They ate the hell out of those oranges, and desimated several trees worth of the fruit. After a while, they started playing with the oranges, tearing them open and throwing them at things to watch the splat that it make. They were laughing uncontrollably when, all of a sudden, my dad starts to see these brightly colored goldfish swimming around the trees. He points at em as they start to perform complex jet fighter manuevers, and his buddies look at each other and then to where my dad is pointing, not seeing anything. This is the point when they realize that my dad wasnt used to the stuff that they smoked, but there wasnt much they could do by that point. Well, dad watches the fish for a little while, but then his attention is drawn to this gigantic orange, hovering in the air about 30 feet above him. As he watches, horror struck, the orange slowly turns around, and looks at him...yes, thats right, this orange had eyes, and thats not all...as the orange looked at him, it opened its mouth to expose several rows of razor sharp teeth. Well, it didnt take a rocket scientist to figure out what those teeth could do(had the thing been real) and dad ducked as the orange swooped down to try to eat him. Dad stood up to run after that narrow miss(it almost got him, lol) and proceded to reenact a pacman scene with the orange chasing him all over creation. At some point, several smaller oranges join the chase, making it hard for him to escape the constantly attacking frenzied fruit. To give you a clue as to how big it was, dad estimated its wieght at the time to be about 500 pounds, while the smaller ones were about 200. They chased him for quite some time till he managed to get back home, where he collapsed on the porch, exausted from trying to stay alive. About that time his buddies come up and tell him what they gave him, and he was pretty mad, but too tired to kill them, lol.
And thats the story of the fruit from hell. Take the story however you want, but just remember to ask whats in something before taking it, lol. Any comments on this story would be greatly appriciated, thank you.

| Driving...in fog... |
| 10.26.03 (8:16 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, it looks like we made it back to the dorm without any accidents, which is a minor miracle considering how tired i felt. It didnt help that there was a heavy fog either. Now when i say a heavy fog, i dont mean a fog that makes it a little hard to see, i mean a fog so thick that i could practically feel it slowing us down as i drove. I swear if it was just a little bit worse, i could have gone swimming in it! And it wasnt just a little patch of it either...no, there was fog all the way back to the dorm. Thats the first time i have ever gone through a patch of fog 60 miles wide! As if that wasnt bad enough, about half way to the dorm the windshield wiper on the drivers side comes half way off...oh goody...so here i am, driving on the foggy road with a wiper thats half broken, hoping it doesnt come off the rest of the way, when suddenly a vehicle without lights on comes shooting out of the darkness, half on his side of the road and half on mine. Well, most people would have soiled themselves at this point...first you say it, then you do it...but at this point i have entered my zombified driving state where i am focused on the road, and i dont even bother going off the road to avoid it...after all, the vehicle i was driving was so big that that tiny car would have been just another bump in the road to me anyway. I think the person driving the other vehicle realized that too, and it veered back into its own lane so quick that i thought it was going to fly into the ditch on the other side. At this point Kenneth was sleeping in the front passenger seat, and he didnt even see what happened...and i didnt bother to tell him either, lol. I assume he will read this entry sooner or later and find out that way, but till then...hehe. When we got back to the college, we parked and were heading inside when we notice a group of people dressed up in costumes walking in a line down the road. They stopped in front of one of the fraternity houses, then grouped up and started singing...i watched them for a moment, then continued inside, figuring that compared to some of the things that go on around here, that was completely normal. Thus ends another boring day in the life of a college student, lol.

| 10.26.03 (5:12 pm) [edit] |

Well, i thought i was going to make up for the briefness of my last entry with this one, but i guess ill have to put that idea on hold again, seeing as how i took another day of rest...well, at least i TRIED to get some rest. Some friends stayed over last night, and let me tell you, they werent planning on sleeping any time soon! I stayed up till around 1:00 am talking and faving fun, but then i got tired and thought i would go to sleep, seeing as i had to drive back to the dorm the next day, and i didnt want to fall asleep at the wheel. Well, i figured that since they were down stairs and my room was up stairs that i wouldnt be able to hear them, but let me tell you, i swear my room was built to channel the noise right to where i sleep, cause i could hear them all like they were standing right there talking in front of me. I put up with it for a while, thinking that they would calm down soon and stop yelling, but unfortunately for me, i was wrong. An hour later i got up and went back downstairs and asked them to be quiet, and for a while they were, but it was only a matter of time till they were laughing again like they were on some kind of gas, and i could literally feel the noise through the floor. It was around 4:00 when i finally fell asleep, but for some reason i woke up at around 7:00, and couldnt get back to sleep again. When i came down the stairs the next morning, i imagine that i looked remarkably like a zombie, stalking around with a glazed look in my eyes. Then i had to help take some stuff down to the consession stand at the high school. An hour later, im feeling pretty lousy and tired, and now i have to drive back up to the dorm...oh goody. If the person reading this knows my brother kenneth, pray for him to survive my driving tonight, lol. Well, guess i had better get going...lots of stuff to do... -.-zzzz..z....Z......Z

| Relaxation at Last |
| 10.25.03 (11:01 pm) [edit] |
|
Well, i finally got to relax today, and let me tell you, it felt good! For some reason though, i still feel tired...maybe im coming down with a cold. I dont have much to write about this time, seeing as i was resting all day, but i plan to make up for it in my next entry.

| Weekend Madness |
| 10.25.03 (10:53 am) [edit] |
|
Well, i missed my post yesterday, so let me re-cap yesterdays events. Everything was basically normal during class, and i was looking forward to getting home and relaxing for the weekend. I was under the impression that i would be heading home at around 12:00, but then i remembered that i had a percussion practice at 2:00. I waited till 1:45 and then headed to practice. When i got there i found everyone already there, exept for one person...the cymbal section leader. For those of you that dont know, let me explain how i feel about her. She was made the cymbal leader simply because she is a girl...she has a serious attitude problem and thinks she knows everything, and she cant play well, and doesnt bother even trying. She is only a freshman, like me, but she acts like she has been in the band forever....she doesnt even play the percussion normally, shes an oboe player, but you cant march an oboe, so we got stuck with her. There are very few people that i dislike, but somehow she has managed to cross the line not only for dislike, but she is on the boarder of hate. Anyway, we had practice and when it was over we put up our instruments and left. I hope she loses her leadership status because of her lazyness. So my brother and I head home, and im looking forward to relaxing when i get there...yeah right! When i get home i find that my friend Casey is over, which is cool, cause im used to having friends around, but i didnt see any reason why that would keep me from getting some peace and quiet. I was just starting to feel comfortable when Bobby and Cara showed up. I didnt mind because i like talking to friends when i get the chance, so we talked for a while, then i hear another knock on the door. This is the point that i realize im not going to be getting any rest, and i decide that i can do that later. My brother went to open the door, and in comes Kim and Jesse. Now things are begining to get crazy...when you get that many fun loving people together, things are bound to get crazy! No, there wernt any drugs or alcohol... we dont need those things to have a good time. We laughed and joked around and had fun...its just a good thing mom wasnt there at the time, having gone to a high school reunion, cause she would have gone crazy with so many people in the house. Well. sometime during the night Jared and Tyler showed up, so we were dealing with a full house. Well, needless to say, there was no relaxing yesterday, but i figure that since im only home on the weekends, having fun with friends is more important. Not surprisingly, my dad was one of the craziest ones there, and i have a feeling that yesterday I was the only mature person in the house. Lord only knows what will happen today, but its bound to be interesting. Well, guess thats enough boring the readers for now...until next time, see ya.

| College Knowledge |
| 10.23.03 (9:36 pm) [edit] |
Well, seeing as how SO many people survived my first post and commented on it (cough cough) i think ill keep this one short. It has nothing to do with the fact that nothing has happened today...honestly. <.>. Anyway, perhaps i should enlighten anyone who reads this on a couple of things about college.
-First of all, no matter how many movies show that you can have wild parties every night at college, it doesnt work that way. The college police can be pretty smart about finding where a party will be. There's also the fact that if you are going to college to actually learn, you arent going to have a lot of time for partying anyway.
-Secondly, there is never enough food!!! :shock: I swear ive lost 15 pounds since i started college. Maybe i should start doing adds for wieght loss...[I lost 15 pounds while attending college, just think of what it could do for you!] lol.
-Next in our list, be prepared to get used to working without a lot of sleep. I know a lot of people stay up late and stuff, but wait till you are staying up till 1:00 every night working on homework, then when you finally get into bed, the guy in the room next door turns on his high powered sound system that shakes the windows, not to mention the people running up and down the halls yelling and laughing (most of them are drunk) and using air horns(yes, thats right, air horns) till the break of day.
-Last on our list of college knowledge, learn how to protect yourself from pranksters. Yes, thats right, despite the fact that they work all day, there are still those who find themselves bored, and seek to relieve there boredom on unsuspecting innocents, usually waiting till they are asleep to do their dirty work. Now, you might ask, what could one person do to another person when he is locked in his room? Well, there was one case of a person taping a bunch of paper to another persons door and setting it on fire. Then there is the water trick, where you fill up a garbage bag with water and lean it on someones door(all the doors open inward), and when the person opens the door the next morning, WOOSH! they get a wet surprise. Then there is the ever popular lotion trick, in which you take a large lotion bottle and tape a straw to the opening, then slip the straw under the door and stomp on the bottle. Yes, college is full of twists and surprises, but i better not take up any more time with more boring details.
Hmm...it appears that this post isnt so short after all...oh well, i suppose there will be another time when i wont be able to think of anything to write, so ill be short then. Till next time, Kerfuffle!

| My First Blog! |
| 10.22.03 (5:35 pm) [edit] |
Everyone, run for your lives! I have a Blog! AAAAHHH!!... your still here... you are supposed to be running...oh well, as long as you are here I might as well tell you a little bit about myself. My name is Jon, i am 18yrs old and i am currently going to college. I am majoring in Marine Biology, and i am currently living at the college dorm. I have a twin brother who also has a blog, so if you dont like mine, go see his, its a lot better, lol. His is Sythe.
Lets see...not much happened today, just the normal class routines: English, Zoology, Chemestry, and Band today.(yes, i am in the marching band, and its a lot of fun, so if you dont like it, I will say Ni unto you!) We recieved yet another project in english, but at least i have till monday to turn it in. I was basically saorried through zoology be cause my high school teacher taught me too well and i knew all the stuff we're being taught since my sophmore year.(for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term saorried, it means to be entirely and completely unfocused, even though you know you should be listening to what is being said because it is important. my english class invented the word as a project, and im trying to get people to use it, so feel free to use the word in front of friends, family, teachers, enemies, or anyone that you want to confuse. :twisted:) Chemestry was pathetic as usual...ive never seen a teacher that could make things like burning magnesium and creating giant clouds of steam sound boring, but i swear my teacher can put the entire class of 200 people to sleep just by entering the room! On the upside today, my band T-shirt came today and its pretty cool (i play the Cymbals). Our next game that we play at is the day after Halloween, and our marching instructor thought it would be cool to dress up in some costumes instead of the normal band uniforms. the head director thought it would look unprofessional though, and said no... If you wouldnt mind, leave me a comment giving your opinion as to whether you think costumes would be a good idea or not.
Well, thats my first blog. If you read the entire thing and didnt end up killing yourself to spare yourself from the torture, you should be given a pat on the back(or a cookie if you prefer) for performing above the normal standard of readers. :D
