Benign Thoughts

Crap, I just got home from stage band and realized I had homework in that class that I don’t know the name of… You know, the one where you learn about things in the past? They don’t call it History, and they don’t call it Social Studies… Ah, yes. Global History… or was it World History? Anyway, yeah I have homework in that class.

Anyway, more about Stage Band… It’s a band that performs for special school things. This friday we have this safe halloween thing for little kids with overprotective parents, and we have to play there. In case you’re sitting there wondering what we play, it’s jazz. Yeah, if you know me well, you’d know that my LEAST FAVORITE types of music are Jazz and Rap. I can’t stand either of them, but we’re playing September and Night Train, so I guess it’s OK. The only thing I really have problems with is Spooky. We play trombone (’we’ being Caitlin [yeah, my girlfriend Caitlin], Timmy [even though he plays baritone, he has a valve trombone], and myself), and therefore we have the melody. Whoa, that was a ton of parenthesis. Is that the right order? eh, whatever. Anyway, yeah, I have to learn Spooky before this Friday, so yeah.

I’m trying to get back into my schedule of blogging daily, or at least every other day. Even if my day was totally boring, I’ll still write something in here. I don’t know what I’d write, but there’d be something here for you to read. I have a rough draft of a short story due monday, so I’ll probably post that here if I’m satisfied.

Mmmm… Rock Climbing. Just so you know, there won’t be a post Saturday, since I’ll be climbing. I’ll post more on that tomorrow: I don’t want to waste the topic.

And last, but not least, I upgraded to XHTML 1.0 Strict. It would be at 1.1 if IE didn’t screw it up, but it does so I have to use 1.0 Strict. There’s also a blogroll (yes, again) on the sidebar. I know it’s really cluttered now and stuff, but I might decide to get rid of some of the buttons and just have text. I’m not sure yet.

Goodnight!

Hey everyone! I’m really sorry for not blogging recently. I was behind on schoolwork and crap like that. Boy do I hate school. Anyway, I have some interesting stuff to cover today, since a lot happened in the past week. Well, a lot for me. I’ve been having to keep up with Buddy4u, Unrealpages, that AIM profile thingie, and

You know that full page firefox ad that’s coming soon? The one in the New York Times? Well, since I contributed to it by donating $10, I get to be in it! How cool is that? I feel really good because I finally gave something back to the mozilla people. I think I might buy a firefox or mozilla t-shirt soon though. You know, so I can promote firefox at my school? Yeah, I think you sort of get it.

I got into a little IRC fight today. Wanna see it? Ok, I’ll show you anyway:

yeah, we’re disfunctional in #unrealpages.

We got ads on UP… ADS! For those of you who don’t know, UP is the free hosting company that a few of my friends and I made because we were sick of crappy hosts. Well, until now, we had no way of paying for it. Don’t worry, hosted sites will still remain ad-free, but UnrealPages.com now has a banner ad at the bottom of the main pages, and at the top of the forums. It’s not working well right now. I guess Chris has to activate something in the admin panel, but still.

WPX update: WordPress Extended hasn’t been abandoned. We’re just not going to work on it until WordPress 1.3 comes out, since we really don’t feel like working on features that’ll be there anyway.

I got a funny email from Brian today. I think I’ll quote it:

John kerry came out of the plane after supposedly watching/listening to
a red sox game, saying that he was a liflong red sox fan and that they
won 10-9. Someone pointed out that it was 11-9, not 10-9.

After trying the excuse that the score was 10-9 when he stopped
watching, someone mentioned that it was never 10-9, just 9-9 and then a
two-run home run. Heh again!

I’m sorry, I just found that hilarious.

Goodnight! I’ll get back to making pictures soon, but right now I’m too lazy. Bye! (by the way, I upgraded to XHTML 1.0 Strict :-))

Dude, Bobby left me a nice comment in the last entry, and it reminded me about that whole embryonic stem cell research thing and what my dad said about it. Today’s blog entry’s going to be all about it and how messed up the world would be if the ban was ever removed.

THIS ENTRY IS NOT CHILD SAFE!!!! DON’T READ IT UNLESS YOU ARE ABOVE THE AGE OF 13!!!!!!!! ONLY READ THIS IF YOU’RE ALLOWED TO WATCH SHOWS LIKE FRIENDS, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, AND THAT 70′S SHOW.

yes that means you.

ok? are you with me now? good.

Prostitutes will be able to make more money! Yes, if embryonic stem cell research was allowed, a whole new industry would form. Well, Kerry wants new jobs, so there we go! More jobs! Yay. Woo Hoo. Whatever. Prostitutes can charge for the sex, and if they get pregnant from it, guess what? They can sell the fetus to be used to let some guy who screwed himself up walk again when there’s other ways of doing it! Imagine the money they could make! I’m sure that fathers would WANT their little 6-year-old girls to grow up to be prostitutes if this happened. Hell, you know that really sparkly store Libby Lu’s or whatever it’s called? Well, have you ever seen the birthday parties and how the little girls dress in them? IT’S ALREADY STARTED!!!! RUNN!!!!! heh… that was good :-). Another thing is that Abortion, which we all know is wrong and it is KILLING YOUR CHILD will be encouraged! Yeah, if you’re ever low on money and you wanna have some fun, get pregnant, have an abortion, and sell the fetus! Or if you’re already pregnant, you can kill that kid and sell the fetus. Here’s another way to look at it. When somebody commits a murder, they get sent to jail for a long time, or they get the death penalty. Well, instead of getting thrown in jail for at least a month like the people who had an abortion should, they get paid big-time!

FYI, the only time I think abortion is right is if she’s definately going to die. If she’s going to die, she should have the abortion so that it saves one life. Most people thing getting raped and having abortion is ok. If she got raped, I think it would be better to put the kid up for adoption than have an abortion, but hey, if you wanna kill the kid, go ahead. It’s your kid. If she had sex by choice, there is no reason whatsoever that she should have an abortion (unless she will definately positively absolutely die).

uh… that’s it. Little kids can look now. Goodnight!

extra junk added 10-20-04: just so you know, this was an anti-embryonic stem-cell research post. After reading it, I realised that it could be misinterpreted. What I said about the prostitutes earlier was what would happen if embryonic stem-cell research was allowed, which I think is messed up.

Yeah, I wasn’t kidding when I said I would post later. Anyway, this little entry is going to be all about tonight’s debate, and I have a few points to present to you silly liberals who are so into that John Kerry fellow. Oh, and if some of my teachers read this, I’m not changing any of it for anyone. Not even my parents, who would probably agree with me anyway.

Yeah, Kerry’s a big fat liar and doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Oh, you want an example, eh? Well, first of all I’d like to see where he’s going to get all these new people into the Armed Forces while taking people out of Iraq and putting more people in. Either he’s gonna reinstate the draft, or he simply isn’t going to do it. It’s that simple. Second of all, I liked it when Kerry said that “Love thy neighbor as thyself” (I think he actually said it as “Love your neighbor as yourself” but whatever) was a commandment, Newsflash, Mr Alter-boy catholic guy!! IT’S NOT A FREAKING COMMANDMENT! Jesus said that. Maybe it’s a Kerry Commandment, as my mom calls it, but it’s certainly not one of the ten commandments. Now, I’d like to see where that “integrity” he was talking about towards the end comes in. He’s changed his opinions tons of times. How is that “adhering to a strict moral or ethical code”. If anybody shows integrity right now, I’d have to say it was Bush.

Kerry wants to “roll back” the tax-cuts. He said that they only apply to the top 1% of americans. Well, guess what? We (being my family) get to pay lower taxes because of those cuts, and some people, the really low class people, don’t have to pay any taxes because of those cuts. Kerry wants to raise our taxes. He’s a lying SOB, and the people who are going to vote for him without noticing the things that are actually going on are very, very ignorant.

Oh and yeah, Kerry definately got more Botox. Goodnight!

Well, I was just informed of the MSN Web Messenger beta and decided to try it out. Well, first of all, IT WORKS IN FIREFOX! You know what that means, right? IT MEANS THAT THEY SEE FIREFOX AS A MAJOR BROWSER! Oh, and not only that, but guess what else? It’s actually pretty ironic, but it has little bugs in Internet Explorer that work fin in firefox.

Oh, and if you don’t already have it, get firefox. There’s a link under “others” that says “The browser you can trust”. If you’re using IE, they’ll be a big huge firefox link before all the entries on this page.

I’m gonna blog again later… after the debate.

If you come here and something funky happens please let me know. I don’t care if you email me (LouisC@gmail.com) or if you IM me (U12 on AIM or LouisC@jabber.org for Jabber), just let me know. Uh.. yeah. I’ll post again tomorrow or something.

I was kind of busy and well… yeah. I had a personal narrative (told by a fictional character) due wednesday, I have an english essay I really should be working on, I had a ton more Creative Writing stuff to do, and even though I really don’t mind the work, I didn’t really have enough time to write anything. However, I’m going to start trying to get into the habit of blogging every day. I’ll start slowly (every other day) and then work my way up. Anyway, I’ll just stop beating around the bush and start writing stuff worth reading.

I really don’t have much to say about tonight’s debate except for the stuff that I mentioned last time. I still get a kick out of the whole smart diplomacy crap that Kerry keeps mentioning. SADDAM HAD NO INTENTION OF LETTING PEOPLE IN TO INSPECT ANYTHING! As for the whole ally thing, I’ll just say what bush said: there is no way we could have allies on our side if Kerry doesn’t have confidence in the war. Also, did you notice that Kerry was on the defensive tonight? I think that Bush did a much better job than last time. I know that tuesday when I get back to school Chris’ll be saying that kerry won and blah blah blah, but it’s all just denial. Kerry got pounded tonight. End of story. Oh, by the way, I think Kerry got more Botox pumped into his forehead or something, because his forehead didn’t move at all. I noticed it the second he walked onto the stage thingie.

Look up. Did you see the new header yet? It’s a random image that changes every time you refresh the page. Right now I have it pre-loaded with 5 headers, all of them different, but I’m planning on adding a new one every day to keep it nice and fresh. It’s powered by Matt’s random image script because I was too lazy to write my own. Yeah, I’m lazy. Deal with it.

Hmm.. the Magic the Gathering novels are actually pretty good. At first I thought that they would be pretty lame because they’re novels based on a card game, but they’re very, very well written. You see, I bought a fat pack the other day (a tornament pack, a novel, 3 boosters, 2 premiums, 1 player’s guide, and a life counter thing) and I decided to start reading the first novel of the Kamigawa series and so far I’m hooked. Anybody who likes fantasy should read this series. Even if you don’t play the card game, you should read the books, because they’re awesome. I’ll definately be buying more as they come out, because I’m hooked.

Uh… that’s it. G’night!
