I'm tired.

Time to kill something slowly and painfully.

Alright as you may have noticed, I have not updated in a while. Here is a brief overview of the time between the last update and now:

School (A.K.A. Hell) Started
The same day, my enemy wrecked his Tempo ;)
I have found the address of Ms. Liz
I have started my midnight romps in the general vicinity of her house
My "friend" has had my playstation for two months
Said "friend" had the crap beaten out of him
It got COLD!!!!!

Explosion Time! Yay!

Past Semtex, Pop Rocks are the most explosive conventional explosives.

Alright, what's the deal here? I read an interesting fact today that just had to be shared: Many stores in the US are selling high explosives. Not only that, they are sold online. Anyone with a buck rattling around in their pocket. This is... Pop Rocks!

Pop Rocks [ Official Website ] have their full history available at their website, but basically, they were invented in 1956, Marketed in 1975, Pulled from shelves in 1983, and re-marketed in 2000. Blah blah blah. (I'm bored, OK?)

Pop rocks are boring now. Personal life time. I have to find a (child-appropriate) website to feature in ALD's e-newsletter for teens. Also, I am trying to learn Elvish. I think that would be just awesome to know how to speak and write Elvish, if only to confuse teachers (muhahahaha). Yeah. Fan-tastic.

Go away now. I'm bored. *muttering* I'm sorry, but my lawyer personality (one of the more annoying ones) tells me that I shouldn't tell you to go away. So, do not go away. Repeat: DON'T GO AWAY!!!!!!!!!

It's Evil. Do not read unless you want a severe case of Hoyven-Mayven!

DISCLAIMER: I do not really wish to do the things mentioned here. Never. I want to make that clear to all authorities.

Well, OK, maybe I do. That doesn't mean I will.

NOTE: If you already read my other blog ( Random Geek Thoughts ), you will be disappointed. This post is also there, since I'm too damn lazy to write two blog enties tonight.

Now that I have the fine print out of the way, here it comes: the gist of today's update.

Fuck School.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of school. I will finally be a Junior, which gives me the honour of being able to beat up on the Freshmen, Sophomores, and the Juniors that are smaller than me. In addition, I have many cool classes, more off hours than anyone else in the school, and access to a high-speed internet connection that is (nearly) unfiltered. So it's not bad.

And yet... And yet... And yet... there's those classes that make you want to scream, they are so uncool. English, History, and Math... Ugggg.... they just make you want to start hurling Molotov Cocktails from the back of the room and watch the teacher and the students scream in horror as the flames start burning the desks, etc. Ahh, how fun that would be.

Our school, knowing them, will have the heaters running full blast when we get there. In 90 degree weather. So hot, teachers will start taking classes outside to get a breath of cool air. Ahh, good old Arapahoe High. Also, I loathe some of the administrators. Not all, just most. But I have plenty of free time, enough that I get out of the school and go visit my girlfriend, rip off that 7-11 across the street, or just carose with some friends. It'll be a blast. Especially tomorrow, when we all get to relearn the joy of filling out forms... all day long! In all classes! Then, we all get to hear the same bullshit rules all day long! How fun and exciting! In fact, I recently had a discussion with a friend via IM about this. A transcript follows:
[ I tend to be ArpKoelbel in this situation ]

[22:43.08] Ken Stanton: sup
[22:43.13] ArpKoelbel: yo
[22:51.27] Ken Stanton: shit man, school
[22:51.41] ArpKoelbel: yeah. I can hardly wait.
[22:51.55] Ken Stanton: stfu
[22:51.59] Ken Stanton: lol
[22:52.20] Ken Stanton: i mean ya, me too, it will be great
[22:53.01] ArpKoelbel: yeah. It will be exciting! Put on your happy face! We are just going to go and learn everything there is to know about filling out forms... again! It will be a blast!
[22:53.20] Ken Stanton: oh hell ya
[22:54.21] Ken Stanton: and then we get to listen to the bs rules
[22:54.56] ArpKoelbel: Oh hell yeah! I can hardly wait for the bullshit! I live for the bullshit!

Time to go. I want to be fully rested up for the bullshit rules, forms, and homework. And maybe a few rounds of bullshit at lunch.

A "short" rant about Yahoo, Microsoft, and AOL

We will start the rant about Microsoft first, since their WindowsUpdate server is currently gone. From the official Windows 98 Web Site, located at http://www.microsoft.com/windows98 and last updated October 31, 2002:

Get Internet Explorer. The latest version has plenty of new features, including Print Preview. Download it for free today!

Alright, pretty straightforward, they're just hawking products. But wait, I'm confused. the Internet Explorer that comes with Windows 98, IE4, has a Print Preview function. So does IE3. So why are suddenly saying to get the new version that is overbloated just because it has "print preview"? I just don't get it. However, Microsoft gets a little stupider in the Privacy Policy page at http://www.microsoft.com/info/privacy.htm", last updated November 1, 2002:

Microcrap can e-mail you ads about their software and claim it an "essential part of the service you have chosen", and "you will not be able to choose to unsubscribe to these mailings"

In this case, I just added my editorials straight to the line. After all, if Microsoft wants to e-mail me ads about Windows XP, I can't unsubscribe or turn off the mailings in any other way except by using my own filter program. Thank you, Bill Gates; now I can hear about how great Windows XP is, now that it passes the worm along that bombed your server for updates (which my computer is incompatible with, because I still run Windows 98). It is such a blessing to hear about how I can buy Windows 2000 for "only" 300 bucks. Mr. Gates, may I please buy the right to slobber on your shoes? I only want to do it all day. Oh, only 100,000 bucks? Gee, that was being put aside for a vacation, but I can slobber on your shoes! Thank you!

I'm tired. More rants coming soon.

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Well, that's it. Summer is over. Time to go waste my time at school for a while, and then try to enjoy my last summer vacation of my life. That sucks. Although, I am doing some stuff in PC Servicing that requires me to actually learn stuff, so that will be fun. Plus, I have many off times, plus get credit for going around to collect the attendence slips 3 times a week. Life is sweet.

This should be a very fun year. I am off on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays between 9:25 and 12:09, Tuesdays between 10:31 and 12:09, plus I get out at 1:06 (rather than 2:13), and on Thursdays between 10:31 and 12:09. Life is the SHIT on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, when I will have a chance to go see my girlfriend (yay!).

I think I will kill something, first thing when I get back to school. Probably the server, if Fisch or the W32.BLASTER worm doesn't get it.

A couple day's confusion

It's been a reallll confusing couple of days for me.

New York (NE US/SE CANADA): What the hell is up with the power? I thought this was the USA, not no namby-pamby frilly power system like the French have. I mean, there should be more power plants than needed, not just enough.
Watering: OK, Colorado is in a fucking drought, but that doesn't stop some little fucker from watering his lawn at 3 PM anyway. Fuckers like that deserve to die. I am paid to water someone's lawn, and I have to wait until way after dark or some officer will come and fine me. Little fuckers.
Personally: My parents are such little fucking pricks. They get pissed off when my room isn't exactly spotless, and they get even more pissed off when I disappear to my girlfriend's house for hours on end. Fucking fuck fuckers.

More crap will be added to the info areas today.

Welcome.

Welcome to my new blog. This may include very strange things, and should not be taken seriously where possible.
