Just Another Day
That's right, this is pretty much just another day. Not a whole lot out of the ordinary has really happened recently. I've gone to school, I've worked, I've slept. Pretty average. I am getting back on the Twitter wagon, and this time I'm going to try to keep up with my account (I'm not the best at it). I went to play Marble Blast Ultra yesterday on XBLA, but it turns out that it got removed (I'm very sad that is a fun game). So, I'm trying to find another game similar to it in the meantime (leave suggestions in the comments if you so please). I've spent plenty of time with my ladyfriend, and it's been cool. That pretty much sums up my past couple of days. I won't leave off with such a weak post, so I will give you my thoughts on stuff. The current topic: whether or not Skyrim is as amazing as everyone is saying (bring it on trolls). Most of what I have to go off of is my cousin and his friends talking about it on the Xbox chat, and one of my friends that plays it kind of a lot. You fight dragons and stuff which I don't have a problem with, I've read a book or two about that kind of thing, and you fight with swords and magicky stuff, which is also fine. However, when you take what I assume is Fallout (replace the Supermutant Behemoths with dragons and make it midieval) and slap a few new concepts with it, then its appeal goes down a little bit. Next, insert werewolves and vampire funtime, and the game starts to resemble Fallout: Twilight Edition. Don't worry, since some of the people that have gotten this game may have holed themselves up in a pizza box fortress for a few weeks, (more than likely dudes) you don't have to have any interaction with the ladies! You can meet the virtual love of your life and get married in the game! I also hear the game has a less-than-satisfactory crime system...thing. Kill a chicken, the village mob chases you with pitchforks and fireballs. Here's one of the kickers for me. You get to pick your race some examples being a nord (whatever that is), an orc (a pretty short one) or one the many branches of elf (yes there are multiple). Those are all fine and dandy. However, two of your choices are a cat person or a lizard man. Those aren't there literal names obviously, but that sums up quite well what they are. There's probably a lot more I can pick on, but I'll leave my list as that not to bore you. Also, Minecraft update! The world reset again, and this time it's even more massive and awesome, so head over and build your stuff. That wraps up this post except for the (DUN DUN DUN) question! What kind of stuff should I start or stop doing on the blog? Oh, and FYI bring on the Skyrim arguments.

I'm Back
You got it right, I'm back! I bet you missed me. I had a sweet Thanksgiving celebration in the distant land of Manhattan (not the New York one), with lots of turkey and a ridiculous amount of mashed potatoes. I'm guessing you have tons of question about what all I've been up to over the past few days! For starters, I went and danced. Not in the traditional sense either. We were at a mall and I was dancing like Beavis (from Beavis and Butthead of course) in the most random of spots. Surprisingly enough, I didn't attract that much attention. I also figured out that Black Friday is pretty hectic (I'm not much of a shopper so I wouldn't know). There are tons of people everywhere and I couldn't hear myself think. I also felt an earthquake! It was devastating, as it rolled a gourd off of a TV stand (not the first tiny earthquake I've felt). I found out I suck at pool. There's something insanely difficult about trying to poke a ball with a stick to knock other balls into holes. Most of my remaining time was spent laying around the house being lazy and stuff. So, that pretty much covers what I've been up to. I guess I'll leave off with the usual question. If I do wind up making videos (which I'm not sure if I'm going to since almost no one VOTES), would you prefer Vlog things or videos about random stuff?

A Big Break
That's right, I'm getting a huge (biggish) break from school. Thanksgiving is just a couple of days away so pretty much every school is getting time off. Therefore, I'm not sure whether or not I'll be able to post for a few days, you might just have to check to see. I'll try, but no promises. So, I'll go ahead and give an update on today. Honestly, not much. Today was the last school day of the week so teachers weren't giving out much work. I did however partake in a party for one of my two followers, Hannahsrobotpie, so feel free to tell her happy birthday. As I will now. Happy birthday Hannah! Instead of math today we ate cookies and chips and stuff and played with balloons. It was a good change of pace from math problems. Since it has only been one day that is all I have for my personal update, so I'll start with my Minecraft section of the update.
The Minecraft world has progressed quickly, with plenty of people coming to build on it. Right now, the world has reset, because so many people built on it and liked it which gave the world a ton more space for everyone to build on. So, thanks to everyone that contributed to the world! Time for another question. What brought you to the blog?

Another Update!
That's right, It's another update! Time for my ever-so-exciting weekend update. So, I will start by saying that I have been working on my wonderul psychology paper (it's so fun!). I'm going to get that finished tonight (hopefully since I have to have it done by tomorrow). Saturday didn't hold much excitement, though I did go out to eat and my cousin was nice enough to tell a story about puking all over a kid at the table where EVERYONE (not just us) could hear it. Also, I watched Tron Legacy. It had potential, but it really didn't work with it. It just kinda jumped into the plot and expected you to know everything. Aside from that that was all the important stuff from my weekend (eventful right?). HOWEVER, there was one rather important aspect of the weekend (to some people). Recently, I took it upon myself to go onto Minecraft classic and make my own world (kind of). So, for all of you people that are curious as to what the hype is all about, you can get onto my world and build around if you feel like it. I'll create a new page with directions on how to get to it, so you can start on there and I'll update that page as well. That's all I have (rather short update), so I'll leave off with two things. One, I would like to give a shout out to all my Russian people. Thanks for visiting it's really cool that you read it. Two, another question! Terraria or Minecraft?

New Record!
That's right, I have just set a record. This is the earliest I have ever posted on here! I think a pat on the back (and maybe some congradulatory money from my viewers) is in order. This is also quite possibly the first morning I have woken up and not felt like I was going to fall right back asleep. I wouldn't say I'm feeling ambitious (I'm kinda supposed to be doing homework right now), but definetly better than most mornings. Since I haven't really done anything noteworthy in the three or so hours I've been awake, I guess I can just talk about some stuff to do if you're bored (I could have a Ph.D. in it if a degree existed). For those of you that haven't heard about it, the Scott Pilgrim series is a good way to remedy your boredom. It's a series of six graphic novels (big comic books) that's really entertaining. I'm not a person who reads, and I even read it. If you really get into the series there's even a movie and a game about it that are worth checking out. I've said it before but the videos by Smosh on youtube are a good time killer. Two of my personal favorite games to play are Terraria and Minecraft (Warning: may cause addiction), and though you have to buy both, they are worth it (and for those of you without money, minecraft has a free version). If all else fails, just take a nap. I take naps all the time, and they are quite worth it. This concludes my ramble on boredom, so I'll leave with another question. So far, what do you think of the blog?

Back at it
T.G.I.M. right? That means it's time for my WEEKEND UPDATE! (woo!) So, on Saturday I started off my patching up a flat tire. I had to leave my car at my uncle's house overnight because I had a nice screw in my back tire. Not thirty minutes after waking up (which really wasn't that early anyway) I went into town, aired up my tire, and went on my way. Most of my day was spent hangin with my ladyfriend. She has me watching the Harry Potter series, so we spent a good few hours watching that (3, 4, and 7pt. 2 I think). Sunday was filled with relative nothingness. I cleaned my room, ate some food, and stayed at my house. NOW for today. Most of the day for me was spent checking out scholarships (they're just so exciting!). I slapped together a sweet 500 word essay about teaching stuff, and completed a whole 1 scholarship. It's just so...fun. That's the word I'm looking for. Then, after looking up actually important scholarships, I decided to look up stupid ones. One of them was a competitive scholarship for playing Minecraft. That was legitimately a scholarship (last year! sad face). Then, after returning home I was watching a Smosh video, and they have a sweet contest. You have to make a video of breaking out of a fort you make, and if you win you get to be in lunchtime with Smosh! I really want to do this, and I'm considering making a video in the near future. And yes, it will be epic if i choose to make one. That concludes my weekend update for now. I shall leave off with another question. If i had the option, would you want me to include videos on my blog, or just keep it as it is?

Freaky Friday
I'll be honest, this wasn't really a freaky friday. I just remembered that a movie had that title, and since it's Friday (yay!) I wanted to use it. So, let's have a rundown of recent events. Wednesday, I did a whole lot of nothing. As much as I say that, people might think I'm a really boring person. But, it's the truth, I didn't really do much. Then yesterday, I got to show my class this blog and they got an update on what I've been doing this year (kudos to any classmates who actually read this after saying they would). I also had a thought, a while back I told you that I would have a commercial up on the youtube channel BEcooperative. I didn't put it up though becasue the commercial pretty much shot craps. I think we all had this amazing idea for a hilarious commercial that would require WAY more than we were capable of. Needless to say, we didn't wind up putting it up (partly because we didn't even make it one video, it's just a bunch of clips). However, at some point, we will be using the channel for "Let's Play" videos, with the first videos being Terraria. It should be some good stuff so I'll keep an update on that. Today, was 11-11-11, and I'm going to make the most epic wish ever at 11:11. I suggest you do the same because there's like a 87% chance that it will come true. Also, it's veteran's day for us United Statesians (side note: while we call ourselves Americans, is it not true that Canadians, Brazillian, etc. are also from America?), so be nice to your past and present soldiers. Reader question of the day! What is your opinion on dubstep? I'll tell mine in my next post. Until then, stay cool, readers.

An Excellent Weekend
Hello! Well, it's Tuesday and I had a sweet three day weekend. I didn't really do much, it was just sweet because I didn't have to go to school (hurray!). So, I will go ahead and give you an update of what all went on. On Saturday I searched all over the place for a place that sold the materials I need to make my computer case. My quest for stuff however ended in failure. During the whole three or so hours I spent going to different stores, not a one had what I wanted. So, my Saturday was pretty much shot. On Sunday I went and had dinner with my family. The food was good, but I swear my cousin is the touchiest person on the face of the Earth. He always tries to hang onto me and wrestle me or something. I know what you're thinking, "Oh he's probably just a kid cousin who's playful." That is not the case at all. He's only two years younger than me. Let me tell you it is both annoying and awkward. Then yesterday, I went to Walmart with my ladyfriend to pick up some stuff like batteries, milk, and just some other random household stuff. I'm not sure what it is about soap and candles and stuff, but it kinda gives you the impulse to sniff it. Don't you tell me that I'm weird, because I KNOW that everyone has done it at least once. So, I set off to sniffing random soaps and candles and judging how they smell (oh, and Axe makes a body wash made with metal...kinda weird). Little to my knowledge I started doing that with everything. When I got back to my car, I took a whiff of it, and I did the same when we were getting our pizza. It finally struck me that it could go horribly wrong when I began to walk into a public restroom. right before I attempted to pick apart the smells around me I thought, " You know, this could be absolutely an absolutely terrible habit." So, right before I destroyed my nostrils I stopped from smelling the room around me. I then proceeded to go home and watch Captain America. I'm not really a comic book reader, but I will admit that movies based off of them are pretty sweet. This movie followed suit, though I never understood what the little blue cube thing was (feel free to explain it to me in the comments). So, that pretty much wraps up my weekend update. I'll leave off with the question, what do you think I should make my comics about? More real life situations, personal thoughts, or something completely different? Leave your suggestions in the comments, and I will get back to you tomorrow.

Christmas in November
Greetings, blog. I haven't posted in awhile, so I would like to say sorry. I would like to, but for some reason I don't feel like it's necessary. Many of you (or none) may be wondering what's up with the weird post title. Well, over the weekend, I finally ordered all of my computer parts. THEN yesterday, it all came to my house and I was just plain giddy. Pretty much everyone in my house probably thought I was a little bit crazy to get so excited over computer hardware, but it might as well have been Christmas for me. So, just a quick overview of what I got: AMD FX-4100 processor, MSI motherboard, G-Skill Sniper 8gb RAM, Raedon HD 6750 graphics card, Samsung Spinpoint 1tb hard drive, and a partridge in a pear tree. I'm happy with all of it, but if you have another view feel free to leave it in the comments (except for Intel fanboys). For the less tech savy, my computer will be fast, awesome, and you should give me a high five. That is all that has really occured in the past couple of days, but in the near future, me and a couple of my friends will be making a video for one of our classes, and we will put it on youtube. the channel is BEcooperative. So, you'll want to go check that out. I've made a comic in the recent past, so I will put that up for you to look at. Well, that concludes today's post. I'll be back (sometime) for your reading amusement.
