Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve. All my imaginary friends are here, which is strange because I don’t think any of them are christian. Naos was brought up Jewish and Hanukkah is starting tomorrow, but other then that it’s just my family and me.
Anyway, today I got up at about nine and spent most of the day just fiddling around. I went to church today. I just got back in a few minutes in fact. We are going to open our presents from each other, and I understand that my parents are giving us clothing. The Santa Claus presents are going to be tomorrow. Let’s hope he supplies the Dungeons and Dragons Books.
On another note, my little sister Sprite brought up the fraise "Zero is Hero. First is Worst,". I don’t like this frace because it makes me feel uncomfortable. It sounds like she is trying to be confrontational and I don’t like that. It is very mean.
Well, anyway she you tomorrow. Naos says Evenin’ Govnah

the 200th Post

Okay, There have been a lot of important events in the last few days. For one thing, my educational assistant who will be called Nanny Ogg after the Discworld character came to visit me awhile back. She is sick and is being replaced by two other women, one for communications technology and another one for math. I really miss Nanny Ogg, because she brings a sort of order to my life at school. These new lady’s are nice, but they aren’t as tough as Nanny Ogg and don’t have her experience at dealing with me, which is really hard. They don’t pair her nearly enough. She should be getting like sixty-thousand dollars or something. I miss her.
Technically the last day of school is tomorrow, but they are just throwing some big hockey and assembly thing and I don’t really care for that. So I stayed home. For the first bit I went to the Library, got some movies (Seven Samurai, seasons three and four of Blackadder and a thing on the Lost Tribes of Israel), I also got some interesting books to read over my vacation. For the most part I’ve just screwed around on the Internet all afternoon and complained to no one in particular about a cold hand.
This is the 200th post I have made on my blog and in a few days I will be reaching my first full year of blogging. It will be a joyous occasion indeed. I have also failed three other independent blogs, including the RPG one that is still up because Ruric (under the identity of Korzio) commented once and I havn’t heard from him since. I may use it to catelog campaigns, such as the one that my group is going to do in January, if things are alright with everyone.

What you missed

Okay, I’ve been feeling pretty bad over the last few days. Emotionally, that is. I blame my stupid Samurai Essay, which is finally done...
(Villagers come out and dance around a maypole, "Safety Dance," by Men Without Hats starts playing and the Heavens open up to reveal a choir of angels opening up to "You Can’t Always Get What You Want," by the Rolling Stones)
...Yeah, that’s how I feel.

Anyway, before I felt all nice I was in a great deal of stress with this essay. I talked it over with my parents and it eventually lead to how I don’t like the position my life is in right know. My dad said that I shouldn’t worry about it and that I don’t need to know what my life will actually be until a few more years. Naturally, I told him I was going to be a writer. Dad replied to this by saying that I should do something else because writing is something that doesn’t pay well or something. Then he said that I should do it because I enjoy writing.
See, I’m not sure that I enjoy writing. I guess on some level I do, maily the bit were I get it done and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. I really need to think about this more.

Anyway, yesterday I went to my Dad’s family Christmas Dinner. I got Napoleon Dynamite and Gattaca on DVD. That’s all.

Celebreties and Religion

Yesterday, because there was nothing else interesting on, I watched a thing about celebrities and the religions they follow. It was really one of those things that you watch and think, oh my God I can’t believe I am watching this. Anyway, seeing this program I saw a lot of things that I felt were wrong in the spiritual sense.
First, I learnt about something called Kabbalah water. It’s basically water that has been blessed by Kabbalic Rabbi’s. Which is okay, but what really unnerves me is that it is two-thousand dollars. I really don’t think that’s a good idea for the Jewish religion to be attached to something like that. I mean it’s the jews for God’s sake. They have a stereotype for this kind of thing. They should be steering away from this kind of stuff.
Second, I learned that Christina Agulera went on a "pilgrimage" to India. I’m okay with pilgrimages to India, I plan on doing it myself some day, I just don’t think what Ms. Agulera did counts as a pilgrimage counted because she stayed at a five star hotel with a personal valet and visited the various temples during the day. The chances of Christina Agulera reading my blog are slim to nil, but by some amazing chance that she is reading this THAT IS NOT A PILGRIMAGE, THAT IS TOURISM. A REAL PILGRIMAGE INVOLVES STAYING IN MONASTERIES OVERNIGHT WITHOUT ANY SERVANTS OR ANYTHING. If you know Christina Agulera, please pass my message on.

Thirdly, Jesus head medallions. See, I don’t think Jesus would be into medallions in the shape of his head made out of solid gold, diamonds and rubies and shit like that. He wasn’t that in the riches and stuff and I just don’t think it’s right to have Jesus head medallions. Can’t rappers settle with a normal crucifix like everyone else? I don’t even think these guys are Christian as much as they wear crosses incrusted with diamonds. I don’t wear a cross, but if I did it wouldn’t be that prominent. Sure I’d wear it outside, but you wouldn’t be able to see it from across the street. If I wanted that I would wear a Jesus is my homey T-shirt.

Okay, that’s it. I also learned what Scientology is. It’s basically gnostism in space.

Live from CommTech, it's frustrated ranting

I HATE PEOPLE TODAY!!!!!!!
Except for Steph, I found out she commented on a post and I like it when she makes comments. But people in general are stressing me out. I’m not having a praticularly good day. I couldn’t concentrate in Latin class, I kept looking out the window and there isn’t really anything interesting out there.
Anyways, I am writing this in my communications technology class, and I am very angry indeed. Nor for any particular reason as much as I am having an emotionally turbulent day. I just feel grumpy and ornery. Latter I’ll probably get some pictures for a website I’m working on for Communications Technology. It’s nothing important as much as a way of putting together all the stuff we’ve done.
I’m going to go know and see if I can get the stupid webpage done.

The First Draft and Dracula

Because I don’t feel I blog enough, I shall blog today.
I handed in the first draft of the Samurai essay in history class today. I still need to add some stuff to it, notably filler for a few more pages, notably on The history of the Samurai and their effect on the modern world. It’s due pretty soon, but I think if I really buckle down I can finish it.
In other news, I am reading Bram Stocker’s Dracula. I got it at the public library and it is a very interesting read so far, even though I have barely read one chapter.

That’s it. I have to do the dishes now. I’ll come up with something important later.

Things that are going on

It has been a long day. I have spent most of it writing the first draft for my Samurai essay in history class. It was very exhausting, but I plan on working on a new short story sometime later today. It’s all a matter of coming up with a new idea. A really good one comes to mind and I plan on getting to work on it soon.
A major event in the outside world is the Chronicles of Narnia movie coming out. As a child I was very found of the Narnia series and it was one of the original blue prints of Mythania, my fantasy world, but thru several revisions it has adapted a less traditional fantasy universe and the only remaining Narnia-like creatures are the tawaze, which are basically giant mice.
So, Christmas is coming. I like presents, I’m pretty excited. Considering that Christmas is supposed to be a religious holiday I should probably look on it with a more religious outlook. But I’m not all that religious. I also like the fact that I don’t have to go to school, because it is getting rather annoying recently.

It's been awhile since I (da da da da da) found time to blog again

Well, the biggest thing to happen was my friend Loncrow came over for the weekend. He brought the new Soulcaliber 3 game. We got to make our own characters and I used characters I made up such as Ar’ado Mahmoud and Callager. You probably don’t know them, but they will be in my works somewhere. Probably a series of comic books (whoops, graphic novels) that I plan on working on. You can expect Jesus, Emperor Norton the 1st and a parody of Cerebus the Aardvark and his creator Dan Sims. That is if he’s okay with it, and if I actually talk to him about it. Considering he lives on his own in isolation I doubt it.
Anyway, I have a new book that I used the last of my birthday money on. It is the first volume of the Bone series by Jeff Smith. It is a graphic novel about these three guys named Fone Bone(the every man hero), Phoney Bone (an ex-millionaire who schemes his way thru most of the series) and Smily Bone (a less-intelligent version of Groucho Marx). They are all chased out of their home in Boneville because of an unsuccessful campaign by Phoney and find themselves outside of charted territory and in a mysterious valley. They are quickly brought into an epic battle between good and evil. It is one of the best books I have ever read. I rank the series with Hyperion, Otherland and the Dark Elf Trilogy as books that I really loved.

Okay, can’t think of anything else. End blog post.
Thought: Is there any official name for blog posts?

STREAM OF THOUGHT!!!!! THOUGHT OF STREAM!!!!! STREAM OF THOUGHT!!!!! THOUGHT OF STREAM!!!!!

Well, the most recent event that comes to mind is today in math class. Some kid who will go by the name Shaka for reasons that will soon become clear to you said he was a Zulu. For those of you that don’t know, Zulu’s are a tribe in South Africa known for there warrior culture. I don’t believe he is a Zulu, mainly because he is white, and he doesn’t have a South African accent. I didn’t bother him about it, because you don’t disagree with someone who is delusional. I should know, I am delusional.

On the subject of putting people in the categories of black and white and Chinese and all that, I think we should get rid of it. I also think we should stop calling people African-American and Japanese-American and native-American. African-Americans can keep that if they like, but they aren’t really African since they weren’t born there, but they can still call themselves that if they want to. I think we should just call everybody humans or people.
On the subject of the word Native-American, I think we should just call them by their respective tribes, since America is not really an idea created by the Aztecs, Navaho (sorry if I’m not spelling that right), Sioux or Cree, as much as a European concept. I’ve never actually met a member of the various tribes of the original inhabitants of North America, at least not to my knowledge, so I’m probably not an expert on this, but this is just what I think.

I don’t remember if I told you about this in the last post, but I’m going to do it anyway. Last weekend, I got two new books at the Chapters in a near-bye major city. I got Anansi Boys, by Neil Gaiman. Anansi Boys is a good book, and is not as dark as some of Neil Gaiman’s other works. I’m starting to wonder if I’m not just reading his book because I just here he’s really good. I really liked Neverwhere though, that’s a good sign. The other book was about the Chronicles of Narnia. I have another book that is basically the same format as this one about Lord of the Rings. It had a back article that talked about some of the controversy of the Chronicles of Narnia. Apparently C.S. Lewis had racist tendencies. In one of his books he used a racial slur (one of the Narnia books, don’t know which one) and he agreed with his brother that he didn’t agree that the Chinese were actually human. This is just crazy and somewhat disillusioning. First H.G. Wells, now C.S. Lewis. Anyway, it’s a good thing he’s dead know, because if we met we would probably end up being pried apart by the other writers over my portrayal of Jesus in one of my comic books, or Naos or something. Probably be pretty funny though, after we all had sometime to cool off. I don’t think C.S. Lewis was a violent man, but we would probably end up yelling at each other at the most.
Anyway, this has been my thought process. On another note, I would like to know how Steph underlined her post. I don’t seem to have that command.
