Benign Thoughts

Ok, I was out a little bit longer than I planned today. I was going to write this sooner, but I was out all day and uh… yeah. So anyway, I’m planning on covering a few topics, and my own review on The Passion Of The Christ (you should all see it if you’re christian, especially catholic). So I guess I should get going, right? Ok, here we go!

The Passion Of The Christ was the BEST movie I’ve seen since The Matrix (it beats The Matrix SOOOOOO much). I think that it was just a movie waiting to happen. Whenever things get unpleasant, just try your best to remember that Jesus went through all of this to let us back into Heaven. Before he died, when WE would die we would go to some crazy place that wasn’t heaven, and wasn’t hell if you were good. Now you go to heaven if you were good, and hell if you were bad. Anyway, I should get back on topic now. The movie is EXTREMLY bloody, so I don’t reccomend bringing small children with you unless they’re REALLY mature. I guess it’s good for people 12 and older, and long as they can handle themselves. Now, I’m a geek so I’m the person who notices how well this movie was made. Everything fits together perfectly, and the flashbacks were placed in the right spots. Another thing is HOW the movie was filmed: like where the camera was placed and the subtle special effects that look so real (like a worm thing that crawls between Satan’s nostrals in the beginning of the movie). BUT you should only see it if you are catholic or at least christan, otherwise it won’t mean much to you. It would be more like “ooo look! the Jews are beating him up! Now the romans… now the jews… and look at him carry that cross!” yeah. It’s not that good of a movie unless you already know the story.

Where I was today! Ok, here’s the part of my daily blog where I tell you what I did today. Well, we were originally just going to go to some crazy museum that’s about 2 people (I did a report on one of the guys this year and that earned me $100). So anyway, we got a little side-tracked, and decided “hey! why don’t we visit ________ (name taken out)! We haven’t seen them in 3 years and we haven’t been to their house in 7!” so now we drive another 30 minutes until we reach their house. But of course we HAD to bring cake, so we stopped at a great bakery on the way there. So, you have to remember that I’m 100% italian (born in america), so we HAD to eat. We played video games and had dinner and cake there and it took us th rest of the day. Now this is what happens when you don’t see someone for 3 years.

OK, I think I’m done for today. I should stop now before my parents start yelling at me like they did last week. I’ll blog again either tomorrow or tuesday. Bye!

I saw another funny video today. It’s a tiny bit innapropriate, but it’s hilarious. Click here to see it! I always knew squirrels were evil :). Today’s post is going to be short (like all of my posts, but maybe shorter) but I may add more to it later, because I’m supposed to see The Passion of the Christ today.

LCnet is DOWN. That’s bad. I think it’s because I ran out of bandwidth or something because of the Space game. So if you want to play the game, you should download it (I posted it below). [update: it's back up as of 6:25 pm, but it may go back down]

Sorry about me not being here lately. My dad took my internet away for being online too late at night. I couldn’t hack the router because he literally unplugged me. Well, I had a good day today, so I think I’ll tell all about it.

I got into the orchestra! Well, I’m just in it to play one song because they need other instruments. A bunch of other people got in too, like my girlfriend. I had to ask my wind ensamble teacher to ask the orchestra teacher for me, because everybody else got picked, but I didn’t and I really wanted to get in. You see, I really like band and playing music (and being with my gf of course!) so I really, really wanted to get in this way I can get experience playing with stringed instruments.

Space 2.5 is released! all you have to do, is click here.

MORE WALLPAPERS! Ok, I made some more over the week, and put them all up today. Tecfreak@deviantart . Just so you know, Benign-Thoughts 8 took me the longest, and it looks the best because it’s colors are a tiny bit different (bluer) and I worked extra hard to make it look sort of 3D.

My math teacher is awesome. He’s that guy who told me to go to Dunkin’ Donuts and order a torus. Anyway, yesterday he was talking to the class. Someone said something (I don’t know what they said because I was half asleep at the time), and in response, he said “You can lead a fish to water, but you can’t teach it to swim”. I was thinking, “What the hell is he talking about? This is DEFINATLY bloggable,” so here I am, blogging about it.

Some kids at my school are selling the most incredible candy. That stuff is amazing!! You put it in your mouth, and then 3 seconds after you chew and swollow it, you get a very strong sugar rush! It’s like you suddenly gained an incredible amount of energy! The only bad thing is that they are addicting, and they cost 25 cents each. Just about everyone in my school tried these things (including my math teacher) and the kids selling them are already sold out, so now they have to make more.

This kid in my school is SOOOOO annoying. His name is Billy, and he always whines. Now, you all already know about my girlfriend. He is ALWAYS bugging her. I try to be fair with him, but sometimes I just want to throw him through the wall! Anyway, I know he likes her, and she knows he likes her, but I don’t feel endangered because he acts like a girl, and he’s a total jerk. His voice is loud and squeaky, so it gives us a headache. I feel sorry for the kid, until I remember how annoying he is.

I went on a Boy Scout trip this weekend!!! I can’t really say where it was, but I’ll say that it was upstate in the mountains. I guess I’ll tell you guys every single detail because I have nothing else to do :).

Sledding is fun, but only when you add some rules. There was over a foot of snow where we went on the campout, so we had some good snowboogieing, but after a while it got boring. We packed down the snow in one area to make a track, where we can play a sled game. We decided to call it “Hardcore Sledding” when there are 2 people per snowboogie, and “Extreme Hardcore Sledding” when there are 3 people per snowboogie. This game is very, file:/home/louisVERY dangerous, exciting, and fun. We had 3 snowboogies, and basicly we raced down the track, but you had to try to keep the other teams from winning. What you could do was (1) jump off your snowboogie and onto the other teams snowboogie, throw them off theirs, and then you get your own snowboogie and one team is down; (2) jump into the middle of the track and block everyone else; (3) pull/push backwards on other peoples snowboogie to slow them down while gaining speed; and basicly anything you can to win. I liked being in the back of the snowboogie and face backwards while the other person steers, this way I can use my feet to push off of other people, or jump off onto other snowboogies. Anyway, I almost always won.

Go to a Dunkin Donuts and order a torus. You will get a kick out of the person’s face. It was my math teacher’s idea, and I got to do it this weekend on the way to the campout. I got a nice clueless look from the lady when I did it, but she did give me my “Marble Frosted Torus” when she figured out what I meant. Well, at least I got a good laugh :).

I got to sleep in a recliner!! That thing was so damn comfy. I slept rather well, but I would have rather slept outside, but we didn’t have enough tents, so I was in the cabin with the nice, warm fire. I also got my ass kicked in Risk (LOTR). My partner tried to annex me because I was doing badly for a little. Anyway, he took most of my property, so I made a deal with the other side in order to get him killed. You see, he owned most of the board, so I just wanted him dead. I didn’t care whether or not I won, I just wanted him to lose all his property. Anyway, the game ended up ending when we had to go to sleep, so yeah.

I just found what might be the coolest movie. It’s called The Passion of the Christ, and it shows what happens in the last 12 hours of Jesus’s life (well, before ressurected 3 days later). It’s rated R, but I still am DYING to see it. It comes out on the 25th, so I can’t wait ^_^

Hello everybody!! I was just taking my monthly look at the stats, and I realized how many visitors I have! It’s amazing!! To give you an idea of how many people I’m talking about, let me tell you my average amount of hits per day. You better sit down for this one. Oh, wait, you’re already sitting. 1253. That’s just in 1 day!!! So far this month, I’ve gotten 25,072 hits. That’s quite good for a site that was made by a 13 year-old!

Why are some people so stupid?? No, I’m not kidding about this. Why don’t they search?? It’s not even funny how many IMs I get daily that say “How do I put pics into my profile?” (I’m a moderator on buddy4u.com, which is a profile site). Now, there are thousands of posts on the Buddy4u.com forums that answer that question, but nobody ever clicks that magic “search” button. There’s also a little something called “google”. It’s a search engine. It’s very, very amazing. You just enter in what you’re looking for, and what you’re looking for magically pops up! How do they do it??? Now if more people used this “Search Engine”, I would be happier, Google would make more money so they will be happier, and all will be well again.

InkLink tricks I’ve played on my sister. Every day, my sister goes on shockwave.com, and plays an online multiplayer game called InkLink. It’s sort of like Pictionary. You take turns drawing pictures, and other people guess what you’re drawing. Anyway, you can also chat. Now anyway, my sister gets pissed when people “whisper” her asking asl, and she always gives them fake info. Then if they ask stupid sex questions, she plays around with them. Well, since I’m on Linux, she knows that I can’t play it, but she doesn’t know that this is a dual boot system. I know I’m so evil. Anyway, today I posed as some guy named “I_Am_Sexy” in inklink, and started flirting with her. She said that she was 13 and she lives in california. So anyway, I decided to frighten her a bit. I told her “no silly, you live in ———- and you’re 10″. She got SO scared, and ran upstairs to me to tell me what happened. When I heard her coming, I shut off my monitor, jumped on my bed and pretended to be taking a nap. Anyway, she STILL doesn’t know that that guy was really me. bwah ha ha ha.

PAAAAR TAAAAAAY!!! I finished making Space 2.5. I haven’t released the fullscreen version yet, but the online version is HERE. I think it’s very cool. For 2.7, I’m planning on adding a few new little things, like for instance: there will be say… 5 different types of ships. The next ship that comes out will be chosen randomly from those 5 ships, so that all of the ships will not be the same. There may also be some more options, and a new interface. I’m also making a (windows) screensaver that consists of the stars, and maybe some spaceships flying around being shot by the crosshair (that you don’t control).

When will the full version come out? Oh, I dunno. Maybe I’ll post it here and on the LCnet forums in a couple of days (after all the moderators get to try it out). I’m still trying to decide whether to give it out, or to keep it private (give it only to people I trust), but then again, it’ll get out anyway. so yeah :). I have a feeling that this game will get very, very popular, especially when 3.0 comes out. I have a few ideas for 3.0, but in case I can’t get it to work right, I’m not telling what they are. I know I’m mean, but sorry!! I’m just going to say this: It probably will be Flash, but there’s a small chance of shockwave. I may even make it a fully fledged 3D game! Here’s another thing: in about 3 weeks or less a new thing may come out. if it doesn’t, that means I’m keeping it private
