Classes Starts Tomorrow




Well this is it. Tomorrow I start classes again. I am very ready. I already have my books ready and my alarm clock set. I have science first thing in the morning. I am going to sleep in until 7:20 AM and then I am going to go to breakfast and then to my class. I am really excited about getting back into the grove again. I am really excited about getting to go back to class.

My allergies have been really bothering me this weekend and I have found myself having trouble breathing at some points. I think that my Zertech will start working pretty soon. If I don’t feel better by this weekend I will be sure to go to the doctor and get a shot.

More Allergies




My allergies are still bothering me and I have had a busy day. I will write when I feel better.

The Weekend Begins




Well I survived another day of RA preparation. This weekend is a really long and tuff weekend for NEO RA’s. I feel so very tired and I really can’t hold my head up for too much longer. I am pretty tired. As soon as the year gets under way I will have more time to write blog reports. I will have more stuff tomorrow.
August 20, 2003 10:38 PM CST

Back At School




Well I am officially back at school. I have been so busy with RA meetings these last couple of days I really haven’t had time to update my web site. It wont be too much longer before the year starts to slow down and I have more time to update this web site.

The pic above is from when I went to the OU scrimmage. I had a lot of fun and it was very interesting. That is about all for tonight. I will blog more later.
August 18, 2003 10:29 PM CST

Final Night




Well here it is this is the official final night of my summer. I have had a great summer. I spent a lot of time with my family and I have had a blast. I got to see an OU scrimmage, I went to an IRL race, I got to hang out with my friend Cliff, and I really had a blast. I even saved money for college and for my computer upgrades. I have never saved up money for both for as long as I can remember. It has always been either one or the other. I am really proud of myself.

I am not to far from having enough money for my external hard drive but it is going to be quite along time before I get enough money to save up enough. It will be four weeks before I receive my first paycheck from NEO. With how I have my funds set up this year I will have to get my college fund filled up first and then start all the redirects to the other accounts. That way I will get more and more money flowing to my computer fund as quick as possible.

I have had a great summer. Tomorrow I will load up my car and I will be leaving by noon to go to NEO. What is really funny is the fact that at the beginning of the summer my dad said that I would probably be going to NEO by myself. Then as the summer went on my dad said that either him or my mom would go with me. And know it has come to my mom, my dad, my grandpa, and I will be going to NEO. That just proves that my parents love me. I just really think that that is really funny how that worked out like it did.

Well that is really about all that I can think to write for now. I am going to go ahead and go to bed. I am going to have to wake up very early to get this online tomorrow.
August 17, 2003 10:57 Pm CST

Packing Away




Well I pretty much just did the 4-week process and packed all day today. I am getting really excited about getting to go to NEO. I am really looking forward to it. I want to get my associates degree.

My room is starting to look more and more bare. I have almost everything in the boxes right now. I just have my icebox, chair, TV stand, desk, and computer. That is about it for me. I am going to get the rest of my stuff packed away by tomorrow night. That way I just have to get up and go on Tuesday. I want to get to NEO and get everything paid for and get it all ready for my next semester.

I really don’t have much to write about today. I am going to miss home. I really love my family and I don’t want to leave them behind but I know that another school year is approaching. Well I am pretty tired and I had better get to sleep. I will write more tomorrow.
August 15, 2003 10:56 PM CST

4 Week Process Approaching




Well my final workday at the store came to and end without error. I had a pretty good day today. I am currently trying to fix a computer for a teacher that I had in second grade. She has a virus on it and I am trying to remove it for her.

I have found a really cool freeware application. This program turns a web based email account into a client biased one. I have my Angelfire and my Yahoo accounts on it but I am having some trouble getting my yahoo account to send emails. I wrote a letter to the company and they are looking into it and trying to find me and answer. The program is called ePrompter and it can be found at ePrompter.com. It is really cool and I suggest that everyone give it a try.

Also tomorrow I have to start my dreaded 4-week process again. That means that it could be two or maybe even three days before I get to update this web page. Just as soon as the process is completed I will get back to updates for this web page. You can find a copy of my 4-week process in an earlier blog report. Well that is really about all that I have for today. I will blog more later on in the future.

101 Wild West Rodeo




I spent the second part of my day at the 101 Wild West Rodeo at Ponca City. Today was actually the second day of the four daylong events. I had a good time. I sent with my grandparents and we got to sit in the shoot heaven section. My favorite part was the bull riding.

As you can see it has been some time since I have had the energy to properly update my blog section. I have been pretty busy here lately and I find myself pretty tired at the end of the day.

One of the many things that I have discovered over the last few days is a magazine called "Windows". It is released by a company called "PC How-To". I have been very amazed with this thing, I find myself unable to put it down. I really love reading about how to make my computer run faster. Just the other day I was reading something on how to refresh windows. It just replaces every OS file on your system and leaves the other ones (your personal files) safe. I am going to do that just as soon as I get my external hard drive. My mouth has been watering for that external drive. I really want to get it and fast. I know that it is quite along ways away but I am saving my money every chance that I get. It could be the fourth week of school before I get enough money to afford something like the 200 GB, 7200 RPM drive that I want. It is a lot but I really want to get it.

My day has gone pretty good. I also just found out a couple of days ago that I am going to get to go to an Oklahoma University scrimmage. It will be this coming Saturday. I am really excited about getting to go to that. You can find the University of Oklahoma Football schedule at this page. You can find my other football schedules at this page. I have my high school, Shidler High, and Northeastern Oklahoma A&M’s Football schedules also.

Well that is really about all that I can think of to do for right now. I have a few updates for my web page for tomorrow and then I have to go into work at 2:00 PM for my final day of summer work. I am so excited; I want to get back to NEO and back to work. Associates Degree, here I come.
August 13, 2003 11:44 PM CST

Too Tired




Sorry but I am very very tired tonight. I will try and write a better blog report tomorrow.
August 12, 2003 10:31 PM CST

More To Come




I had a pretty normal day today. I discovered a lot of new things from my windows magazine. I really need to get some sleep because I have to wake up early tomorrow morning. I have good things from the Windows magazine to write about.
August 11, 2003 10:31 PM CST

Trip To Great Grandma Dolly’s




I decided to take a trip with my mom to Wichita, Kansas to see my great grandma. I left early this morning and that is why it took me so long to update my site. We left Shidler at 7:00 Am and we got back to Shidler around 4:00 PM. The trip to Wichita is only about an hour and a half but we spent a lot of time there. My great grandma needed to go to the doctor on a checkup. Nothing serious.

Well the days of summer are numbered. I am getting more and more excited everyday about going back to NEO. One more semester, one more trip, one more 4.0 (I hope), one more time. I am really excited about going back for my fifth semester at NEO and my sixth semester as a college student. I am really excited about moving on. I know that my next school will be a huge growing accomplishment for me.

By the way the pic for today’s blog report is a pic of my great grandma. We call her Grandma Dolly. Also during my trip to Ponca when I watched Tomb Raider 2 I picked up a magazine called "Windows". It is a very interesting magazine that is filled with insider tips, tricks and solutions. I really like it and I will share more once I have read it.
August 10, 2003 10:34 PM CST

Tomb Raider 2




I just got back for watching "Tomb Raider 2: The Cradle of Life". It was a pretty good movie. It has a lot better story line than the previous Tomb Raider movie. Angelina Jolie is a very hot woman. She is perfect to play the part of Laura Croft. She fits the role very well. While the quality of the movie has gone up, the quality of the video game has gone down. "Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness" video game has dropped through the floor. The game lacks the tradition a feel of it previous games and has a very corny love story in it. The graphics are very exceptional but the characters have huge square hands. I like the movie far more than the games.

The pic that I have for today’s blog report is a pic of my dad’s garden. He has spent all summer working on it and he is very proud of it. I help him from time to time to pic some of the vegetables from it.

Although I did not go to work today, I did have a pretty productive day. I had a lot of fun. Tomorrow I am going to go to Wichita with my mom to see my grandma. She has a doctor’s appointment and I decided to go with my mom. That means that I probably won’t be updating my site tomorrow morning but I will try tomorrow afternoon or the next day. Well until next time.

The End Is Near




I gave Cliff a call today. He sounded like he is also ready to get back to NEO for another semester. I know that I sure am. I want to get back to the studying and the making steps toward my dream. I can’t believe that my Associate of Applied Science Degree in Electronics Engineering Technology is only about 4 or 5 classes away from being in my hands. I am really excited about that. I say bring it on and let’s have some fun while we are moving ahead.

Today has been another really boring day. I didn’t work today so I really just sat around and dreamed about eh stuff that I want to buy for my computer. I think that the next thing will be my external 200 GB hard drive. Then after that I will work on my VSM project (I will explain more about the VSM project later). And then I will work on my Ghost project. All I need for my ghost project is one external 20 GB hard drive that I can build myself. I am just a few measly bucks away from finishing my ghost project and I know it. I am really ready to get back into the game on that. Backing up your computer with CD-R’s really sucks.

Well it is only about 10 more days and I will be back at NEO doing what I do best, and that is going for another 4.0 GPA. I want to finish NEO with a perfect record. Six 4.0 GPA’s in a row is a very good goal. Wouldn’t that be nice and sweet? I hope that I can do it. But however if for some reason I don’t get another 4.0 then that will be ok. I would gladly accept a 3.5 or a 3.8 or something like that. I just want to be the best at what I do. I want to go all the way and turn some heads in the process.

By the way the pic that I took for today’s blog report is a pic of my dog Rocky while he is in his cage. He sleeps every night in that thing. He thinks that it is his personal sanctuary. I am feeling pretty tired so I think that I am going to go on to bed. Goodnight everyone. By the way, a college update is coming tomorrow as well.
August 09, 2003 12:41 AM CST

S.W.A.T.




I have just gotten back from watching S.W.A.T. the movie. It is pretty cool. I originally wanted to see Tomb Raider 2 but my brother talked me into seeing S.W.A.T. instead. I have to say that was a pretty good movie. The action sequences were very nice and the story kept me guessing until the end. I recommend anyone to go and see it.

I had a pretty tuff day at the store today. I had to do all the clean up stuff. It seemed to just drag on and on and on. I was ready to get out of there about two hours before my shift was up.

I really didn’t do much more of anything today other than that. I wish that I had more to write about. Don’t worry though; I will have more once I get back to college.
August 07, 2003 10:36 PM CST

One Great Day




I had quite a busy day at the store today. We had a steady flow of customers all day long. I have had a good day. I really didn’t have too much to do and I just really enjoyed my day today. No crazy or stupid stuff happened at all today. You know that feeling when you wake up in the morning that something strange or unpleasant is going to happen to you sometime during the day? Well I got that feeling this morning, but nothing happened.

By the way the pic that I have chosen for today’s blog report is a pic of my brother playing video games. He is a big fan of sports games, especially football. I am pretty tired right now so I think that I am going to go ahead and start closing this.

I have just 12 days until I move back into NEO. I also just have three and a half days left to work at the store. I am really excited to get back. I want to get back to the homework and the studying. I really enjoy bettering myself a lot. Until next time, goodbye.
August 06, 2003 11:00 PM CST

My Day And Other Stuff




What a day. This morning I had to mow the yard. It really didn’t take quite as long as normal. I only had to mow the circle and that was it. My brother did most of the trimming with the push mower. Then after I was finished mowing I had to go to Ponca City for my Dental Appointment. I just had to go for a check up and also a cleaning. I had a perfect check up, which is good considering the last time that I went to the dentist I had four cavities. By the way the Dental Hygienist that cleaned my teeth today was very hot. Her name was Amy and she had very pretty brown eyes. I really liked her. Then I came home and I basically just lounged around all day. I have to work tomorrow from 2:00 PM until 10:00 PM. It is not my most favorite shift but it is ok.

By the way the pic that I have for today’s blog report is a pic of my dog rocky. My camera was set on auto flash and that means that it takes a flash once to set everything and then another to take the picture. Rocky squinted on the first flash and the second flash caught his reaction. It is kind of a funny pic as you can see. I have just four and a half days of work left and I will be done working at the store for this summer. I am really excited about getting back to NEO. I am anxious as to what my Associates Degree will look like. I love college, and I love it even more now that I am single. I have discovered that I am not the "going-steady" kind of guy. I really just love to meat as many girls as possible and get to know them all. College fu*king rules man. Well that is about all that I have for today. I will write another blog report tomorrow.
August 05, 2003 11:50 PM CST

Short And Sweet




I am really tired right now so this blog report will be extremely short. I have been up late watching the movie "The Rock" with my brother. I am very tired right now. I have to wake up early tomorrow and mow the lawn and then I have a dentist appointment. I will have a better blog in the future.

By the way I downloaded Real One Player and I have to say that it is very impressive. I really enjoy playing the games that I grew up with. Everyone out there have a good day.
August 04, 2003 11:02 PM CST

Real One Player




What a strange day. I just got off work from my dad’s store. I wasn’t scheduled to work today but one of his employees called in sick so I jumped at the chance to make some extra money. When I woke up this morning I updated my web page. I had to update the photo blog and also I had a new blog report. Then I went to Ponca City. I had to get a toner cartridge for my dad’s fax machine, some contact solution for my contacts and also some dog biscuits for the dogs. I was in and out just as quick as possible.

Then I came home and I helped my brother with his video that he is going to send to the ROTC offices at various colleges. He has been interested in ROTC and Civil Engineering for quite along time. Then after that I just hung out until 6:00 PM when I had to go to work. That is really about all that I did for today.

I did however remember to get that link for you on the "Real One Player". The link to it is this. Real One Player. It is a really tuff link to remember. I have not yet downloaded this piece of freeware onto my computer yet but I probably will tomorrow. It is really cool though. I played Blackjack for close to an hour the other day.

I have really had a pretty boring day today. By the way the pic that I have included with this blog report is a pic out my window while I am driving over Kaw Bridge. I thought that it was a pretty cool shot so I decided to take a quick pic. Well that is about all that I have for today.
August 03, 2003 11:07 PM CST

Video Games




What a lazy day I have had today. All that I have done all day is play video games. I finally beat a game that I have been playing since two Christmases ago. It is called "The Simpsons: Road Rage". I really like this game because it relieves stress. You get to drive around and pick up people and bring them to the places that they want to go. It is a really awesome game. I have had fun playing it for along time. I have to say that the ending movie sucked. It was a really bad movie. It had very little to do with the whole entire game itself. I was very disappointed.

I didn’t have to work today so I really just lounged around and did nothing all day. I was extremely lazy. By the way the pic that I have for today is of my room and another game that I am obsessed about. It is called "Myst". I have been a fan of Myst since 1997. You can find my tribute to Myst here. I have had my tribute up for some time and Jim Stenson, the web master of Unofficial Riven Page. He has helped me out a lot with my Myst adventured and also the creation of my Myst page.

Tomorrow I am going to go to Ponca City. I have to get my dad some toner for his fax machine and I need some more contact solution. I am going to leave right after I get through updating my web page.

Speaking about updating my web page I really haven’t had any major updates in quite along time. I have very few people in my stupid list. It seems that the creation of my stupid list has scared a lot of stupid people away from me. You can read my views on stupidity here if you would like.

I believe that stupid people are bringing our society down. The stupidity they possess is beyond my ability to comprehend it. I believe that all stupid people need to be killed; in execution style would be nice. But I am not going to get drawn into that mental complex right now. I will stay off of my soap box.

Well it is quickly approaching 11:30 PM and I am pretty tired. I am going to go ahead and turn it. Oh and before I go I did run across a couple of nice things on the Internet. One is called Liquid Generation. LG, as they call themselves, is a very funny site about all of today’s hot topics. I would check it out if I were you, just make sure that you turn you pop-up blocker OFF when you visit them.

The second web site I found is called "Real One Player". It is a freeware program that you download and you get to play tons and tons of video game for free. I don’t have info on it right now but I will tomorrow.
August 02, 2003 11:46 PM CST

Very Tired




I have had one tuff day. I had to work in the store but that is ok because I need the money. I thought that my shift was not going to end. Then when I got home I decided to change some things about my budgeting strategy at NEO. I have decided to start a College Fund to go into the funds that I already have. That way I will be able to save up some money to buy books at my next college. Books are getting expensive in today’s world. I have to say that I am really tired right now and I really want to go to bed. I will have a better blog report tomorrow.
August 01, 2003 10:50 PM CST

College Preparation




Hello again. I am very tired tonight. I had to work from 2:00 PM until 10:00 PM today. It is not one of my most liked shifts but I need the money. I had a very productive day. I got my weekly budgeting for NEO figured out. I set it up so when I get paid I have different places that my money goes and how I spend it. Just as long as I don’t spend more money than what I set myself to spend then I will never run out.

I did a check today on how much money I have and how much I need for my external hard drive. It is exactly $226.00 until I get enough for my hard drive. I know that it is a lot but it really isn’t that much considering how much I have already saved. I even made up a shopping list of all the things I will need to get for NEO. The shopping list looks like this:

Living Supplies

1. Laundry Soap
2. Bounce
3. Extra Hangers
4. Water
5. Shampoo
6. Body Wash
7. Loofa (spelling?) On A Stick
8. Toothpaste
9. Toothbrush
10. Dixie Cups
11. Toilet Paper
12. Clorox Cleanup
13. Ink Cartridges
14. Printer Paper
15. Toilet Brush
16. Rags
17. Umbrella
18. Tylenol
19. Black Shower Curtain
20. Dorm Cook able Food Items
21. Trash Bags

and my schools supply list looks like this:

School Supplies

1. Folders
2. Spiral Notebooks
3. College Rule Paper
4. Mechanical Pencils
5. Pens
6. Ruler
7. Little Mouse

I think that that will about do it for me. I have noticed that every year that I take in college I discover that I really need less and less. Well that is really about all that I have for today. Nothing much else really happened. All I did was work all day.

By the way, those of you who tried the links to the freeware yesterday you might be wondering why those links weren’t working. Well it is because Tech TV’s servers were down for most of the day. Feel free to try the links now. They probably work.
