I don't see anything like this happening in Europe...
I don't remember what newspaper it was but, there was an article about how a lot of colleges are making thier entire campuses non-smoking.
That includes outside in the free air.
FREE air.
The dean of one of these school's was quoted as saying "Smokers will still have rights, just not on our campus."
WOAH!
Let's rewind fifty years and try that again:
"NIGGERS will still have rights, just not on our campus."
Anyone else see the problem here?
Now, some people might accuse me of comparing apples to pygmy winged chartruese hippos.
I do not believe that is the case.
Discrimination on the basis of lifestyle choice is just as wrong as discrimination on the basis of race, sex, or religion (which, by the way, is a lifestyle choice.)
Now I don't deny that the failure of many smokers to be considerate of the breathing rights of nonsmokers has, not wronglfully, led to some loss of freedom.
For example, the recent Ohio law which disallows smoking in public buildings.
A law I voted against, not because I believe the principle was wrong, but because I felt that smoking regulation should be the responsibility of privately, publicly, and government owned buildings and companies as individual enteties who act in thier own interests.
The store at which I now work is no longer legally permitted to have, as they used to, a seperate breakroom, with an automatically closing door, for smoking employees.
The rest of the store was smoke free.
Now, employees who smoke must go outside (much farther away from the timeclock, for most) to do so.
Outside, where if it's raining, freezing cold, or uncomfortably hot and humid, all types of weather which are exceedingly common to Ohio, they'll just have to suck it up, or go sit in thier cars.
So much for social interaction.
Previously, we never had any complaints about our smoking policy.
Anyway, there isn't much any one person can do about this, so all that's left is for me to exhort smokers to please be aware and considerate of the rights and space of those around you when you light up.
And non-smokers, please respect our rights and take them into consideration when you vote. Especially when voting for laws which affect more than just a few types of buisnesses which have been slow to catch up with everyone else.

Gravity Strikes Again
Had lots of fun.
The iPod is officially worth it.
After I'd finished skiing and taken my boots off, ridden home in the car, and started to unload....my knee gave out and I fell on my ass.
I guess I should be glad it waited that long.

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
-Counting Crows: Round Here
I am in an invironment where white ninjas actually live longer...
Snow, (HEAVY) fog, and icy roads. Woohoo.
Anyway, I'm gonna go home now and watch Dark Angel, because it is a good show. An Albasaurus is fine too.
I don't know what station this is, but they're playing Billy Joel.
But my rear left window fell off.
Fortunately I wasn't moving at the time.
I reattached it with physics (mostly friction) and wishful thinking.
It's working so far...
This has been one hell of a week. >_<
This post should've been put up yesterday....^^;

Drag your feet!
Go ahead, I'll wait.
Back?
Okay, well this may be somewhat old news to some, but for those who are having difficulty in music acquisition, I have a simple four step plan:
Step 1: Find a large LAN to leach off of. College dorms are ideal for this.
Step 2: Download and install iTunes and ourTunes.
Step 3: ???????
Step 4: Profit.
Alrighty, so now that that's settled, I have news.
I just purchased an iPod shuffle for 20$ less the retail price.
Woot.
I go now to play with it.

I hear duct tape works....
Late new year's resolution...or something.
I dunno.
Even on the internet I have a tendency to dominate the conversation. >_<>_<
So anway.
I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Not for any specific thing and not to any specific person.
Just, to all my friends, I'm sorry for being an idiot.
Just try to bear with me, okay? I don't wanna lose you guys.

Holding tightly to a thread no longer attached to the cloth...
I like snowy days.
Driving home from work, I'm too busy making sure I don't accidentally rear-end anyone or slide off the road on a turn to think about anything, but then I get inside where it's warm and....
Can't deal with my problems, so I'll just find something shiney to play with.
Saturday, January 20, 2007
It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day...
Which of course means that at nine o'clock in the morning, the sun is still just low enough to blind me on my way to the library.
Ah well.
I liked the the snow and rain.
Anyway.

Agreeableness | 31 |
Conscientiousness | 55 |
| You are neither a subdued loner nor a jovial chatterbox. You enjoy time with others but also time alone. You are generally calm and composed, reacting moderately well to situations that most people would describe as stressful. Novelty, variety, and change spice up your life and make you a curious, imaginative, and creative person. People see you as tough, critical, and uncompromising and you have less concern with others' needs than with your own. You are reasonably reliable, organized, and self-controlled. |

The daystar burns us...
Yeah, I've started answering comments like, "geez it's really coming down out there" with "Yeah, isn't it great?" and a big grin.
I think it confuses people.

I haven't done a meme in a while....
-last place you were: Elsewhere (with a capital "E," Not to be confused with some perfectly mundane elsewhere)
-last soda: Mandarin Jarritos. Jarritos are made of Mexico and Win.
-last beverage: Non soda beverage, I take it? That would be milk. It usually is.
-last kiss: That'd be Kathy....just about exactly a year ago....give or take a few days..... D':
-last movie seen: Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King, Director's Cut. LOTR is HUEG LOL
-last cd played: Americana. (The Offspring)
-last bubble bath: This morning, actually, although I really just dumped liquid soap under the faucet...
-last time you cried: See four questions ago, add a month and fifteen days to get to the part where she called to say that she didn't think we were right for each other, but she's see me when she got back from Mexico, and she hoped we could "still be friends"
8 have you evers.
-have you ever dated someone twice: No, I have a tendency to burn my bridges behind me.

-have you ever fallen in love: Notice how we keep coming back to the same topic? Kathy.
Although, I suppose a strong argument could be made here for Karen. I only got over her when I met Kathy, and now, I really miss them both. Oh, and the bitterness.
-have you ever been depressed: Yeah, it even runs in my family, woohoo. I was depressed my Sophomore year in highschool, and even more so my first semester in college...over Karen, unsurprisingly. And then Kathy....but I've had plenty of time to get past that, and am now happily warm, fed, and uncomplicated.
-have you ever been drunk and thrown up: I've been drunk, but not puking drunk. And I've never had a hangover. Lucky me.
-have you ever hit another person: Hah. Yes. With improvised melee weapons, no less. ^^;

Concerning the nature of lies and the feline and elven languages and attitudes.
(I apologize for any confusion my phrasing may have caused, but the concepts of the truth that is, and especially the various truths that are wished to be, do not translate well and I would have much rather preffered to use the feline words, but as I have mentioned previously, phonetic feline does not lend itself to human letters)

Some insights on the language of cats.
While there are a few words that translate into things like exuberance or playfullness, these are more descriptors of behavior than emotion.
The reason for this lack of concept is probably due to the fact that cats do not view happiness as an abstract absolute condition, but rather as a condition of being comfortable.
They tend to feel that humans could be saved a lot of trouble if they spent less time trying to find happiness, and more time learning to be content with what they have.

Open (Holiday) Season
And I thought finals week was exciting....
Anyway, if anyone feels the urge to get me a Christmas present, heroscape expansion packs run somewhere around 10-12 dollars, I already have all of the Utgar's Rage sets, so anything else would be fine. Let me know if you get me something, and I'll reciprocate. :P

Guitar Hero II
Maybe it's just similar to various other songs I've loved in my life, but one way or another, it seems to fit.
Anyway, I hope to start regular blogging again. I'll make an effort to post whenever I come to the library to get online. So, till next time...

What's the Calibur of your Soul?
![]() |
Both mysterious and attractive, you captivate people with the fact that you seem to be good at everything! Spending quiet moments with a friend and talking about what life means to you is your ideal situation. You don't like to stand out very much and you seem to be more old-fashioned than modern, but when you do take the spotlight -- you command the floor! |
| Which Soul Calibur character are you? |
| this quiz was made by david park |
No matter which quiz I take, nor what variation of answers I give (so long as they're honest) I always wind up classified as Mitsurugi. XP
I guess I'll just have to accept that I'm a samurai! :o
(I did get Taki once, by going for the female version of me)
Mitsurugi does seem a fairly good match for me though, at least for the side of my that is focused and balanced, and not excessively hyperactive and crazy. ^^;
In my quieter moments, I can certainly see the samurai within.... :d
Honestly though, I'm still better with a staff than any other weapon, despite concentrated attempts to master swordsmanship, and gain proficiency with other weapons.
Hmmmm, well it's probably not as good as it would've been last time, but there ya go!
Soul Caliburness...(I've been playing arcade mode on very hard) ;P

I can't remember theTeager quote I was gonna put here. :d
So I spent all day downtown hangin out with the J-man and one of his friends from OSU.
They were in town for some school thingy and so I met them at their hotel and we went to chinatown where I got some chopsticks which I am now using to eat ramen and some Oolong tea which I could definitely get to like. :D
Though I probably won't. >_<
Aaaaaaaaand....
I'm hyper and random right now. :D
But I need to catch up on a bunch of webcomics.
And hey! FD stopped in at my long-dead-but-recently-resurrected blog to drop a comment! :D
Hooray for comments. :D
And now...off to be randomelsewhere!

New Zelda! XDDDDD!
Mood: Quixotic O_o
Music: The Killers (they rock my pants off)
Current Celebrity Fixation: Link!
So I'm out getting school supplies, and one of the things I need is a GameCube memory card. (Yes, "school supplies") >.> <.<
So anyway, I've got my memory card and I'm headed out the door, when I see a preview on the Demo GameCube's tv screen.
Distracted, I begin to watch, and soon realize that it's a preview for the new Zelda which was supposed to come out this fall. (It got pushed back, but if they can make it better, it's worth the wait)
As the ad ends I realize that my mouth is hanging open.
And has been.
For at least a minute. ^^;
After a few more seconds I managed to collect my wits enough to close it.
And proceeded to watch the trailer two more times before I was able to leave the shop.
Needless to say, I can hardly wait.
Please hurry Nintendo people! :D!
Tomorrow morning I leave to go back to school, the car's all packed an everything.
I can't wait. >______<
A Last Hurrah
I can now be found at my deviant art site.

It starts with joy, and ends in sorrow,
Waiting not; still there tomorrow.
Clasped in joyous ecstasy,
For a time all problems cease to be.

My first post on this blog was one year ago.

Thanks for all your love and support and of course, your comments. :D
Let us raise our coffee mugs (mine has hot chocolate) in salute to the past year, and in hopes of another fine year to come!
And if anyone would like a trip down memory lane, here's a link to my FIRST POST EVER! here on blogger. n____n
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne!

Chapter six: In which an amusing conversation takes place and a castle is built.
darkestthunder2: MmyesNO!
darkestthunder2: No.
darkestthunder2: XD
yensil314: That's going on my blog.
I love my job(s)
It's not very mind consuming, and therefore leaves me with quite a bit of time to think and ponder the mysteries of the universe...I will find a new way to occupy my brain soon enough...me thinking is a bad thing and could threaten the universe...
So anyway, I'm building another castle out of legos...I rather like the way this one is turning out so far.
Maybe I'll post a pic when I'm done.

I guess working with retards is the perfect precursor to hanging out with me.
To the point that I orgot to sleep.
Here I am happily chatting with people from all around the world, and the next thing I know it's 6 o'clock in the f*cking morning, and I've got to go to work in two hours.
So, I just chatted for another hour, went to breakfast, and bought a red bull which I didn't drink till about ten.
And tried to stay awake at work, then went to study for my anaotomy lab exam, fell asleep, woke up twnety minutes later, studied some more, went back to work, drank the red bull...
Worked till I was hungry, went to lunch, had some coffee, and talked to my friends.
Went to chemistry, and by this time I was so wired, I couldn't sit still, much less fall asleep, and I think it's the most I've ever paid attention in that class...ever.
So anyway, after chem, I hung out with a friend, then made coffee, and went to the library where coffee (and other drinks/food) is prohibited, but I just hid it. >_O
Got online for a while, then I went to see the school's orchestra concert, and I was so jittery I was practically dancing in my seat.
Then me and my friend walked about a mile down to the grocery store, and got there around the same time as the bus did, so I saved myself $1.75 and lost no time.
So, at the store, I got some popcorn, a six pack of root beer, and some frozen pizza.
I shoulda gotten the twelve pack of vanilla coke, instead of the pizza, but oh well, it'll save me money on dinner on nights that I don't feel like cafeteria food.
I got four little ones, and they're in a friends freezer cause I don't have one.
So...we stopped at blockbuster and got Elektra, and I personally thought it was pretty good. (better than Daredevil)
And then we went back to his apartment, dropped off his food, and my freezables, and then went back to my dorm room to watch the movie.
And I went to bed at one o'clock am after 40 hours of conciousness. :D
Yep, I'm crazy,

At first, this had nothing to do with peanutbutter...and NOW there's a POTATO involved?!?!?
Right.
So, I stepped outside yesterday afternoon and my first thought was "My GOD they're like ANTS!"
The green space, and all other available patches of lawn, were alive with swarms of....COLLEGE STUDENTS! Many people were outside enjoying some of the first warm weather of the year. I had a strange urge to pull out a gigantic magnifying glass and roast them all. >_O
But alas it was cloudy...
My next instinct was to retreat to the safety of my room, but I quelled it and bravely ventured forth into the massive throng. On my way to my destination (band practice) I met a friend, we joined forces and set out on a quest to slay the evil dragon and rescue the princess!
...Okay, so maybe we just had a brief conversation before going our separate ways...
I'd've updated sooner...but I was waiting for people to comment. =P

A quick little update!
Thank you mommyyyyyy!!! (and anyone else who was involved) <3

Happy Easter, everyone! And now for some nostalgic reminiscing!
I remember how every morning on Easter sunday I'd wake up and find the afore mentioned Hershey bottle at the foot of my bed, filled with M&Ms.
That was one of the really cool traditions my parents had.
After church, me and my brother and sister would hunt for eggs and our chocolate bunnies (we got one each)
In addition to the hard boiled eggs which we helped to color the week before, we'd also find plastic eggs filled with such goodies as Hershey Kisses, chocolate eggs, and other sorts of candy.
But the best thing about Easter was spending time with my family. I had alot of fun trying to find my dad's cleverly hidden eggs.
It seems really wierd to have Easter in March,
Jens.

Yay! I found it!
Fortunatey I had posted it on a forum I frequent and was able to find it after a bit of digging. >_<
Enjoy!
Poetry
How many lines of rhyme will issue from my breast?
Before at last my earthly form is laid to rest?
How many root beers consumed, and lovers lost?
To fuel the fires of passion and give them voice, what cost?
And when shall poems be written?
Be it early morn or late at night?
Or when the sun is shining bright?
And when shall I be smitten?
With inspiration
For syncopation
And is it worth it in the end?
All the broken hearts which never mend
The moods which rip and tear and rend
And force me to my keyboard to write
Until it finally turns out right.
And then, what joy, what happiness, it's done!
And time to write another one...

OMG GAY!
It deals with sexual insecurity.
One user, a friend of mine, responded with this statement: "Men are raised, and constantly hounded, in our society about any signs of homosexuality. And they vehemently protest when this occurs. Homophobia is a learned trait..."
I felt prompted to respond with the following rant...
"It's a great social injustice, as well.
I spent two seasons in my highschool's color guard.
I was teased by my friends, and abused by strangers.
I was constantly putting up with gay jokes, such as the classic "flaggot" icon_stare.gif
All this because I was on a team of 2o girls and two guys. Let me repeat that: TWENTY girls and TWO guys....that's ten chicks each....sound gay to you? icon_confused.gif
Oddlyenough (or not) the gay jokes decreased when I joined the wrestling team...so did the wimp and nerd cracks. I guess this was because I was doing something "manly."
WTF?
I joined a sport that involves, not only communal showers, but rolling around on a mat with another guy while wearing a tight spandex uniform.
Obviously this isn't gay. Certainly not as gay as standing still for long periods of time or in perfect unison with ten other people, spinning a piece of wood, or metal (drill rifles and sabers), or metal and cloth (flag) and throwing this heavy piece of equipment up into the air and catching, risking certain pain if you miss and hit get hit.
Obviously.
After all, it's not like they do the same kind of thing in military honor gaurds, which are a male dominated group of people.
But...no, highschool color gaurd is female dominated, so it must be girly.
icon_rolleyes.gif
And obviously, if a guy does something "girly" it's gay.
Duh. "
Leave a comment,
Yensilthebrave
Oh, and on a totally unrelated note, if I ever met my long lost identical twin, I would kill him immediately, because one of us is bound to be evil.
Monday, February 14, 2005
Uh oh.
So what do you do? Do you run away? Do you turn around to see what caused the noise? Maybe you automatically reach for a weapon? Or maybe, just maybe, you realize that it's past time you cleaned your room......
Well, that incedent helped to spice up an otherwise boring monday.
Friday, February 11, 2005
Get your own box
You know, I never get any good rants. Probably because I'm too lazy to do it while I'm mad, and so I put it off until I've calmed down...
*sigh*
Well anyway, my plans for this weekend were shattered by an attack of concsience.
I realized that my time would be better spent working on my make up assignments for last semester.
Oh well, there's other fish in the sea.
Monday, February 7, 2005
But there's still some water in the bucket.
I read through comments on all of my old posts.
And I read a few of the posts themselves.
I selected six posts that I feel are worth revisiting.
I'm going to list and discuss them in order from oldest to newest.
I suggest you follow the links and read them, and even post comments on them, since I'll be keeping my eyes open...
So, first...
The Insomniac Kitty
Well, I'm sure all of you oldbies remember this, and I hope you newer readers will take a look.
In fact, this is the reason for my second AIM SN.
Love at first sight?
Some of you may notice that I changed the name of this poem.
I figure that those of you who know her know enough to keep your mouths shut about it.
Anyway, I'm over it. I just wanted to revisit this.
And thanks for that comment Tamara.
I was quite surprised to see it, but I knew right away who it was.
*sigh* I was so depressed when I wrote this.
Well, I was.
Go read it.
Leave a comment...no one did at the time.
Remember...
Where would we be without a little bit of patriotism?
I wrote this shortly after 9/11 this past year.
Have we forgotten the tragedy so soon?
It seemed no different from any other day, this time...
You gotta look to see.
I still can't see them.
Which is too bad because they would have been a good source of inspiration.
Better than my emo music.
Rejected in the Rain
This poem is still hanging on my wall next to the one I wrote about Karen, which I discussed earlier in this post...shame on you if you didn't follow the link to read it.
This one is kinda wierd, isn't it?
Oh yeah, I should post a link to my Deviant Art site so you guys can see some of the stuff I do besides poetry, although that is still my strongest form of expression.
It's here.
And now I'm going to go look for some poetic inspiration some more.
Suggestions are still needed. (see previous post)
The well's run dry.
And I haven't written much poetry lately.
I feel like I'm out of ideas.
Perhaps I should go on a quest for inspiration?
But where and when and how? u_u
This bears pondering.
Andy suggestions?

Eighteen Years.
One is a lonely number, so it's said
Two fit together, and thus they are wed
Three form a chord and sing harmony
Four are the points of a compass at sea
Five are a nickel, and five more, a dime
Six are the lines I've just written in rhyme
Seven is lucky, good fortune befall
Eight isn't anything special at all
Nine is uneven, and by one is short
Ten is a base, of the numeral sort.
Eleven repeats itself, again and again
Twelve is a dozen, and hours for Big Ben
Thirteen is a number that doesn't bode well
Fourteen is another with nothing to tell
Fifteen is merely three times five
Sixteen is when you learn to drive
Seventeen makes no demands
Eighteen is when a boy becomes man
Well, I'm eighteen, nineteen in a month and a half.
This poem has eighteen lines, mainly because I felt it was dragging and was out of ideas, though.
Personally I don't think it's one of my best, but it desrves to be seen.
I've been hiding this away in hopes of improving it, but I think this is as good as it's gonna get.
I has a nice little rhyme and cadence to it, but no deeper meaning. :|
Lemme know your thoughts.
Changed my signoff name.
The flying monkey may return, but right now, this is how I feel.

The world needs more courage.
Courage to hope.
Courage to hurt.
Courage to cope.
Courage to laugh.
Courage to cry.
Courage to live.
Courage to die.
Courage to love.
Courage to hate.
Courage to leave.
Courage to wait.
Courage to jump.
Courage to fall.
Courage to run.
Courage to crawl.
Courage to go.
Courage to stay.
Courage to work.
Courage to play.
Courage to fail.
Courage to try.
Courage to wish.
Courage to fly.
Courage to fight.
Courage to talk.
Courage to stand.
Courage to walk.
Courage to win.
Courage to lose.
Courage to dream.
Courage to use.
The popular thing right now seems to be to hate those who hate.
But it's my opinion that hate is a viable, and unfortunately necessary emotion.
To be human is to be imperfect.
But hate has this in common with love: to hate something enough to fight against it takes just as much courage as it does to love something enough to defend it.
Every single thing you do takes courage.
Every time you take a breath you risk inhaling poison.
Everytime you go outside, you risk exposure.
There's so much in this worl to be afraid of.
Maybe...maybe if we all just had a little more courage, the world wouldn't be such a scary place?
We'd still have problems, sure.
But maybe we'd have a better chance of dealing with them.
Hate is often a result of fear.
Fear of things that are different.
But no matter how much you hate something, it takes courage to fight against it.
It even takes courage to be afraid.
Fear is frightening and therefore we avoid it.
But you have to face fear, and accept it in all of it's horrible power before you can overcome it.
Have courage,

Yeah, I have no idea what's happening.
And, yeah, I had a kinda wierd morning.
I need to move the phone closer to my bed....
So anyway, what to talk about?
Well, we got about 15 inches of snow, which is more than I've ever seen in my life (excluding the ski trip to colorado).
And I've made some new friends, although it's more of multiplayer video game kinda relationship.
Yep, lots and lots of Halo 2.
So anyway, that's just about it for now.
There's more I want to talk about, but I should probably wait until my brain turns on.
Wednesday, January 12, 2005
Give it another go.
And yet, it happened.
So, yeah, life is unpredictable like that.
So far my second semster has been going well.
I think I'm gonna enjoy my classes. ^-^
And of course, I'm gonna work hard.
My goal is to get straight A's this semester.
I figure, if I aim high, I can't hit the ground, even if I do miss the target.
Erm...yeah, I guess that's all for now.
Can't keep me down,
I'm on the rebound.
Not gonna fail.
Now I'm gonna sail.
Gonna sail into the clear blue sky.

Back in action once again!
I've been meaning to post it for a while, now.
Ironies
You always need a sheet of paper
Right after one is torn,
And your socks are always stinky
The day after they are worn.
Your stars are only lucky
When they're falling from the sky,
And if you ever say hello,
Then you have to say goodbye.
And an essay can't be written,
If you haven't read the books,
And a fish cannot be caught,
If you didn't bait the hooks.
And you cannot know a person,
Until you know eachother's names.
And a sword is only tempered,
When it passes through the flames.
And if something isn't broken,
Then it cannot be repaired.
And if you were once hated,
Then at least, somebody cared.
And if nothing has gone wrong,
Then it cannot be set right.
And sometimes you can lose,
Just by choosing not to fight.
Well, as some of you know, I had some difficulty last semester.
Over break I did some counseling to help me deal with my problems.
We worked out various ways I can try to get myself to work.
...I'd better go get started. ^-^

I forgot someone.
Okay, now go back and read the post before this. =P
Saturday, January 1, 2005
It's been a long road...but I've got faith of the heart.
Just to warn you.
|
I Miss You by Blink 182 |
"The unsuspecting victim Of darkness in the valley We can live like Jack and Sally if we want Where you can always find me" You grew up a lot in 2004. And it was mostly a very good thing. |
That's very true.
I've grown up a lot.
I'd have to say that my senior year of high school was one of the most infuential and most fun times in my life.
I've been meaning to do this for a while, but I want to thank all the people who made that senior year the best I've ever had.
Therefore, I shall make a list.
Very sorry if I forget anyone.
Thank you all.
Thank you Karen, for dancing with me at homecoming, and for putting up with my childhood crush.
Thank you Anza for talking to me at lunch, even when I was being antisocial.
Thank you Seth for being my friend ever since I moved to Middletown.
Thank you Patrick, Derron, and Armond for inspiring me to excel in music.
Thank you to all my teachers for giving me the gift of knowledge.
Thank you Adam for helping me to rediscover my inner nerd.
Thank you Mike for showing me that nerds can be cool.
Thank you Justin for being someone who I could know, and yet never understand.
Thank you Tom for being the straight man for my zany humor.
Thank you Andy for making me feel like more than just a skinny runt.
Thank you Kristen for being the best little sister anyone could ever have.
Thank you Niels for being stronger than me and fueling my competitive nature.
Thank you Dave and Brian for being my first friends in college.
Thank you Katelyn for always understanding.
Thank you Valerie for....whatever it is you do.
Thank you Billy for teaching me that life is funny.
Thank you Clarky for being a Joker.
Thank you Rob for being there since the beggining.
Thank you John for Redwall.
Thank you mom and dad for raising me and making me into what I am today.
Thank you Bea for motivating me and forcing me to do my school work.
Thank you Julesy for feeding me, and being someone I can always talk to.
Thank you Megan for showing me that people who are worse off than me can still be happy.
Thank you Ralina (since you hate your real name) for keeping me from getting bored.
Thank you Emma for being someone I can be a role model for.
Thank you Chris for getting me back into D&D.
Thank you everyone from GBP for accepting me and putting up with me.
And lastly...well, shucks, I'm out of people to thank.
So, thank you to anyone I missed, I still love ya, even if I don't always remember.
Well, that's enough sappiness to last the whole year, I think.
I'm going to watch the sunrise.
I think that the new year begins with the new day, and I want to be awake to see it arrive.
My New Year's Resolution: To prove to myself that I am cabable of motivating myself to do what I have to do.
And of course, to totally kick ass in general!
WAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOO!
I'm sitting on top of the world.
And feel like nothing can drag me down.
From here, my flag is unfurled.
And up here I can wear a crown.
No one can touch me, no one can see me.
It's just me alone, with the the sky as my throne.
And the clouds rolling by, as I sit here, with I.
Happy New Year,
Yensilthebrave

Settle in folks. I've got a lot to say.
(If you don't know what Agnostica is, look HERE)
After much delay and problems, Tommu (You're unmocking spoof) offered to host.
(This was a problem because Dr. Shin, whose idea it was, ended up not being able to host due for reasons which I am not at liberty to discuss)
Aaaaanyway, I managed to get a Tamagotchi out of the Schrodinger box (you did look at the website, right?)
So now I'm stuck taking care of the little pixel fella....all he does is eat and poop. T_T
It's actually quite funny.
I had lots of fun, although, in my antisocial way, I played Halo 2 while everyone else was playign Star Wars Trivial Pursuit.....I know I shouldna...but, ah well.
And I got a chocolate santa out of the random bag of fun.
And after all, since tuesday was the solstice, the days all get longer from here on out! ^-^
And now, on to wednesday.
Wednesday, I had to go to court.
Last thrusday, on the way to an orchestra concert at my old HS, I turned left in front of someone and got into a wreck.
Fortunately no one was hurt, although my airbag did go off.
I ended up having to pay a $30 fine plus $60 in court fees.
$90.
Yay.
And now on to happier things.
It snowed ALL day wednesday.
Thursday morning, we had a level 3 snow emergency.
IE: Emergency vehicles were the only ones allowed on the roads.
The main roads were cleared by noon, though.
I started shoveling at about 3:00.
At 5:00, it was to dark to shovel, and I was only 2/3 doen with the driveway.
That snow was deep!
Ah well, I made mucho dinero in the process.
So, today, I dug my car out (took an hour) and me and my dad went to the mall where I did some last minute shopping and he did whatever it is he does when I'm not around.
My mom, brother, and sister all went skiing.
Thsi evening, we went to the Christmas Eve church service.
However, it was canceled at our church, due to the parking lot not being cleared of snow.
So, we went to the service at the Methodist church where we used to go for X-mas eve when I was younger. (I was thrilled. It made this Christmas more special)
I also got some new snow boots at the mall.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention something.
Our network router is out.
It went down abotu 1:30 on thursday.
I worked on it some today, but couldn't get it fixed. (yet)
This means that I cannot access the internet on my laptop.
I did, however, manage to bypass the router so that the family computer does have a connection.
Cuz I wanted to rant about my life.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that last wednesday I had dinner and hung out with an old friend of mine. (female, possible romantic inerest, we're sorta eachother's backups =D )
It was a blast. I'd missed her.
So anyway, that's all.
TTFN,
Jens, AKA Yensil, AKA MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE! (It'll be Christmas here in eastern time in 5 minutes!

Nobody likes me. AIM really hates me. I'm gonna play some Metroid!
Tuesday, December 14, 2004
So, Dr. Shin, what's halfway between fire and air?
Brave, strong willed, loyal and passionate
You are a sprite of Fire. Full of passion, bravery
and spice you are the living embodiment of
fire. You are quite arrogant and think yourself
above most but that is made up for by; your
passionate ability to pursue your dreams, your
strong will and your powerful well skilled
ability for fighting. You are a natural leader,
people are somewhat drawn to you and see you as
someone to look up to but you only pay
attention to them if they are useful, your
equal or your superior. You are a very exciting
person to be near for you have a vast love of
adventure and battle. Fire is a symbol of
Passion if and when you choose to love you are
capable of beautiful, long lasting, devoted
love. You are quite wondrous!

And then, we went caroling in Chernobyl.
So, I bought Metroid Prime 2.
Between that and other video games, I've been a bit distracted from my online activities, such as blogging.
I played in my church's Christmas musical this weekend, which was fun.
Yeah, I don't really have anything interesting to say.
Later,

I'll be home for Christmas (If only in my dreams)
After being stressed out and overloaded by exams and final papers/projects, it's finally time to go home.
I'll be seein all my buddies soon.
I'm booked for saturday and sunday, got work and my church musical.
But after that, we can party.
I suggest you also read the post before this if you haven't yet.
It's pretty short and, in my opinion, kinda important.
Here's to a safe trip,

Brand SPANKIN New!
And he looks like this:

Okay, so technically it's an old picture.
Circa fall my senior year of high school. (November 2003)
But, I haven't changed much.
Well, not since I started shaving again, anyway.
I go home this friday, hopefully I'll be able to update more often then.
We'll see,
Jens
Saturday, December 4, 2004
THE WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
Take a good long look.
Because that man is no more!
That's right, I shaved.
In other news: GO MEXICANS!
In other, other news: I really want a hamburger right now, but dinner's not for another half hour. :(
In other, other, other news: My comment whoring tactics are paying off! Finally I get the attention I think I (although I probably don't) deserve!
In other, other, other, other news:
That is all,

Friday, December 3, 2004
So....where do I go from here?
Fun....
Hence my need for a short blogging break.
Plus the fact that I haven't updated in a while.
I have about four poems in the works.
But they don't seem to want to go anywhere just now.
Ah well.
Maybe I should write another short story.
If I get any ideas that is.
Right now, it's time to hit the caffeine.
>_<
Right.
College kills.
But not as badly as speed.
Don't drive fast, guys.
Speed kills.
Aaaaaaaanyway.
Back to work for the poor tired yensilmonkeykittywhatever.

Been wanderin around the LiveJournal community.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your own bulletin...along with these instructions.
5. Don't search around and look for the "coolest" book you can find. Do what's actually next to you.
"My wife and my sister will never recover from their horror."
From Mary Shelly's classic work of horror: Frankenstien.
It was the first thing I saw when I looked up at my bookshelf.
Go read my poem, and my shakespear spoof if you haven't seen them already.

An experiment, we'll see how it goes.
That doesn't mean it's without structure though.
Something About Being Alone
There's something about being alone in an elevator.
A small room, enclosed by four walls, a floor, and a ceiling.
When it's busy, the press of people can be stifling.
But when it's not, this small space seems almost roomy.
In an elevator you know when you are alone.
There are no people with you in the room.
You are isolated by walls joined together.
There's something about being alone in a stairwell.
A small rectangular area, but it goes up and down for a distance.
When it's busy you are forced to move in one direction or the other.
But when it's not, you can stand at any point and look up or down.
In a stairwell you know when you are alone.
There's no sound of feet above or below.
You are isolated by doors on each floor.
There's something about being alone in a field.
A large grassy expanse, that stretches till it hits something.
When it's busy, you can hear and see people at play.
But when it's not it is huge and empty and bare.
In a field you know when you are alone.
There's no one to see in any direction.
You are isolated by space stretching outward.
There's something about being alone in a forest.
A region of limits, each tree is a boundary.
When it's busy the birdsong and noises are pleasant.
But when it's not, the silence can seem rather frightening.
In a forest you know when you are alone.
There's no indication of creatures nearby.
You are isolated by senses that detect nothing.
There's something about being alone in a crowd.
A large enough space to hold many people.
When it's busy, you can hear dozens talking around you.
But when it's not, there's a hush that seems out of place.
In a crowd you know when you are alone.
There's no one with whom you will interact.
You are isolated by your lack of communication.
There's something about being alone.
An area that changes with your surroundings.
When it's busy, you are not alone and must interact.
But when it's not, you can do as you please.
When you are alone, you know that you are alone.
There's no one there but yourself.
You are isolated by your own isolation.
Let me know what you think,

Buh bye,

Salt Shakespeare.
That is the question.
For whether tis nobler in the gut
To suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous famine
Or to take forks against a sea of brussels
And by opposing, eat them?
To dine, to feed, no more
And by that feast to say we end
The gut-ache and the thousand natural pangs that flesh is heir to.
Tis a consumation devoutly to be wished.
To dine, to feed, to feed perhaps on greens!
Aye, there's the rub.
For in that feast of meat what greens may come.
When we have shuffled off these too tight belts.
Must give us pause.
*bows*
Thank you, thank you all,
Jens

Blah blah blah blah blah blah.
I've had a fair bit on my plate recently, and it doesn't look like the load will slack off soon.
I dunno when the next poem will come.
I may not even post all that regularly.
I'm finally getting my act together for real and settling in to college life.
...with four weeks left in the semester.
Actually it's not as bad as it might sound, this is just the end of the settling in process, or maybe not?
Whatever, i'm feeling confident about the past week.
And now I'm off to bed because it's 2 am and I want to be up by noon tomorrow.

Not so often anymore
I guess I haven't had that much to say recently, since I haven't been updating frequently.
Here's some quizzes for ya.
You Are A Razorblade.
Sharp, clever, but lost in a world of misunderstandng, you are the razorblade. You like blood and pointy objects... actually, you're like me! yay for you! i always find this group has the bestest people, too!
Which Inanimate Object Are You? (With Pictures)
I keep tellin you Adam, it's NOT fire.
Air!
The element of air is ... nice. One thinks of clouds and suns and butterflies..
the reality of air is in the "not so nice" things. storms, lightning, tornados, and blizzards are all included.
Air means basically that you are bipolar. There are goods and bads.
Air is essential to life, but also a cause of the loss of life.
it's very interesting and breathtaking at times. you are a beauty to the world, but make sure you don't show your bad side ALL the time. :)
What element best decribes you?

You are the Red-Eyes Black Dragon! ATK/2400
DEF/2000
What Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
Yeah, 'sall fer now,

Curious George, The Curious Little Monkey
I had difficulty sleeping thanks to the election. It's very stressful when your home state holds the key to victory for either party.
I finally forced myself to go to bed at 4 am, but it was after 5 before I finally fell asleep.
And so my day started at seven, less than two hours later.
On my way back from the shower, at 7:20, I looked out the window at the end of the hall. A red tailed hawk was perched in a tree just outside eating what I think was a mouse, although it could have been a small bird.
When I left at 7:30, it was preening itself. (I think it was female, but I'm not sure, need to check my bird book)
As I walked down to thegas station for some Red Bull, I turned to get a better look at the hawk. That was when it swooped down in front of me and flew across the street and away.
It seemed portentious at the time, not sure what of though.
Later, as I sat down for breakfast, I saw a male and a female duck (species unknown to me, again, I need to check the bird book) feeding in the North Branch (of the Chicago River) just outside the window.
Nature at it's best, eh? (Pardon my Canadian. XP)
So...All eyes are on Ohio. Still counting absentee ballots. Hey! One of those is mine Y'know!
So, yesterday I spilled some assorted chemicals on my self in lab. How graceful of me. Including (but not limited to): 6M HCl (fairly concentrated), NaOH ( a base), and some stinky NH3 (ammonia). So, I got some baking soda thrown on me, then went back to my room to change and wash clothes.
I still managed to finish the the lab 30 minutes early, but I stayed to help a friend clean up. Afterwards I went to the library with her and some of her friends wo 'work' on an extra credit assignment for biology. This invovled more talking and less working. *rolls eyes* Girls. *shrug*
XD :P
So anyway, we all went to Subway afterwards which was fun.
It was especially nice because I actually talked to her (hencforth known as 'C') the whole time. As opposed to previous experiences with other people where they have talked and I have cowered silently over my food with nothing to say. She had to go home after that (Commuter student) but...Yeah, I had a great day.<(
(>^^)> <(^-^)> <(^^<)
It's gonna take a while for Ohio to count my ballot, but Curious George, you haven't won yet.

Update: Kerry has conceded. George Bush Gets another four years. T_T Y_Y :'(
At least we get to hear four more years of Bushisms. Great comedy there. :') (smiles through the tears)
Update: I couldn't Identify the ducks, but I'm pretty sure the Redtail hawk was indeed female. That's just judging from size though, so it's a tough call.
For further updates see comments.

VOTE!
Still, I hope everyone who is of age did.
And I hope that Bush doesn't win. So far it doesn't look to good though.
For election results go here
Well, that's all I have to say. And I wanted to share that comic.
I'm ready for the whole election thing to be over with though.

Happy Halloween
It's funny how our interests shift and flow.
A friend from Jazz band invited me to go ice skating with him and some friends.
So that's what I did friday.
It turns out that I have some common interests with his room mate.
I borrowed some movies and comics from him.
Yeah, so, ice skating. I ended up falling several times. Hit my head once, and managed to hurt my shoulder.
In otherwords, I had fun.
Of course I only fell because I was pushing myself to do things I couldn't quite do.
Being used to roller skates.
Less friction on ice, it changes things.
Well, I just thought I should stop in and leave a post since it's been a while.
That's all for now.
Jens
