The latest (and greatest)

I think I'm going to be very tired of Shakespeare by the end of today since we're watching "Much Ado About Nothing" in English and my next class is Shakespeare, so that's three hours (with a break for lunch) of the Bard. I have seen the movie so many times, including once earlier this year, but it is still a good movie.

After school I have to write graduation announcements for my whole family, so that may take awhile. I don't have work until Saturday so pretty much the rest of my week is very free, which I am very thankful for. Working four days in a row at work is not fun, even though I do make a considerable sum in tips. Memorial Day weekend was especially busy.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night

This is wonderfully strong poem. I think it would make a great rock song.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on that sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

I wonder...

I wonder if it's worth keeping this blog up at all. Since I haven't been doing a very good job at updating it as often as I have done in the past, I don't know whether it is worth keeping it up. I already contribute to another blog that I know at least some people read. If I find anything interesting to post I will, but other than that you, my devoted audience, will not hear anything else from me unless I know that someone is even looking at my blog.

Just because

I just thought I'd write so all my devoted fans (as if; sometimes I think I'm just talking to myself) aren't too disappointed.

I found the coolest thing today...

I found the most interesting website today. Well not as much as found, but looked over one of my friends' shoulders and noted the site name and URL. The site is http://www.nationstates.net. It is a simulation site where you are in charge of a country and you get to decide the politics and location of your country as well as its flag. It's really cool.

You should see this...

I have recently joined the contributors of a blog about a beautiful French actor. If you want to look it up the title is: Gaspard Ulliel, which is the actor's name just in case you're wondering. Comment on the blog if you care at all.

Gaspard Ulliel

My latest and only actor obsession: Gaspard Ulliel. Gotta love those young French actors. Plus he's only three and a half years older than I am. I hope he becomes one of the defining actors of my generation. Anyway here is a list of websites with his picture on them:

Type in his name where it says "search" or something... on the left side of the page.

You gotta love IMDB


For all the sites in French you can use an online translator to get a rough translation. The one I used and which I thought was quite good (I can only speak a little of another language and that's Japanese, so I could be totally off):

In my next post, which will be posted only a short time after this one I will post my favorite pictures of him.

This guy has it right...

To social liberals in the Seattle-area: If you haven't read this article you should. This man hit the gay marriage nail squarely on the head. His name is Ryan Blethern and this is the link to his editorial on the issue in the Seattle Times: http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=ryan03&date=20060203&query=The+generational+disconnect+on+homosexual+rights. There is much more good stuff than what is in the following excerpt.

Here is an excerpt:

"Leaders of the fight against civil rights need to give up their crusade. Their notions of sin and sexuality belong in another era, to decades past when women could not vote, black people drank from designated fountains and gays and lesbians were beaten into false lives.... One of the reasons used to try to tank any civil rights aimed at gays and lesbians is the claim that those rights will lead to same-sex marriage. On this point, the opposition is correct. Thank goodness. (Before moving on, let's drop the labels. The weddings I attend this summer will not be called "heterosexual" weddings and the people involved will not be in "hetero-marriages." So let's not label marriage as gay. Call it what it is: marriage)."

Time...

I wish that some days had twice the time in them that they do. That every minute was twice as long. But that will not happen anytime in the forseeable future so I guess I'm stuck with the sixty second minute. Oh well. Fortunately after today we get a week plus of vacation and I only have to work two of those days. Yay!

I enjoy the peace and quiet that I get when all I can hear is the sound of the keys I am typing on the keyboard and words when I talk to my friend at the computer next to me. I know soon enough that it will get loud again in here, but I will savor this quietness for as long as I possibly can, but I think I will go and play a game now while I can still think.

Tata for now.

Extra time

I wish. The only extra time I have is when I can't use it. Go figure. Anyway I found the coolest blog yesterday. The people who write it are halfway across the country from me, but they still do have some interesting opinions. The blog is http://theflossingofamerica.blogspot.com. I can't say that it is complete genius, but the people who write it know what they're talking about. They don't just prvide opinion, they provide facts, sometimes to back up the opinion.

I wish I had something interesting to write about, but nothing really fascinating is happening here. People are playing on computers next to me, mostly on game websites.

I guess I'm going to go now.

Some computers are stupid

As I said, so computers are really stupid. They crash about half the times they are started up and the other half of the time are so slow that it's almost like they are crashing. Well, that's what you get with PCs. I have no grudge against them myself, but I think that Macs are so much better that there is no comparison. It is true that more games are designed for PCs than for Macs, but guess what, so are more viruses. Plus the graphics are better on a Mac. Now I have to decide which laptop I like better. The iBook is better for games, I think, but the other one, the new one, I forgot the name, is faster and has duo processors. I liked the iBook before I ever knew about the other one. It's time to go I think, but I will eventually decide. The other computer is still doing its stupid thing, but in time it too will decide what to do.

The First of Hopefully Many Posts

I am not notoriously good at keeping up on things like this, so I don't know how long I'll remember this blog, but it's worth a try.

I'll talk about Sims, movies, and other oddities in my life, including my friends and things they do in their daily lives. Don't expect real names, however. I cannot stand stalkers especially around my friends.

I guess all I have to say now is "Tata for now".
