Hiya! I'll make this short
Here I am now, scoping through Google as I have just finished my last class for today. I've been surfing through the Google archives for four days now, and I have been finding interesting stuff. Well, at least there are certain material that doesn't contain certain themes that I normally wouldn't agree w/, but that's another story. There is definitely a ton of items in the video archive (esp. online video clips or features). I'm having a ball right now.

School is okay now, although I am a bit behind on one assignment which I am submitting to the instructor as soon as it is completed. The programming course is a mental pain in the... you all know the rest. When you actually believe you accoplished one area, there is another area of coding you have to overcome; it's a bit brutal. Other than that, I am doing just fine.

That is all for now. Bye bye!

   Check THIS Out!!
I'm still plotting my new theme though I am still quite busy w/ school at this point. I should have enough time in the weekend to completely finalize my layout during this month. I'll keep you guys posted along the way.

In the meantime, I would like to take the time to view two Flash animations which, in my view, will knock the sock right out of your boots. Believe me, it is quite a treat.

The REAL Alpha Tournament


The REAL Alpha Tournament 2

Enjoy, and I'll see you later!

   Update!
I wish to stick w/ the FLCL theme for the time being, but I do intend to have a new layout in the future. Although I am exactly not sure of which theme it will be, it would be my original layout; I would consider this as doing something a bit different to set my account apart fron the rest. So, does it sound like a grandeous idea? I believe it is.

Later.

Here I am, net surfing as always. Of course, you have a certain someone telling me that pro wrestling is nothing but a show, that mixed martial arts fighting is the real deal. Give me a break! Does he think I don't know the difference between the two mediums? Seriously, I know, in this country inparticularly, that certain wrestling promotions seem to advertise it as two things: sports AND entertainment; case in point, the WWE. The promotion has been promoting the idea of pro wrestling as just entertainment sports for two or three decades. Even the most idiotic of wrestling fanatics can understand the difference between fantasy and reality. What is it going to take to convince people that I am open to experience different mediums and ideas, MMA included?

Okay, I'm a bit amprehensive about this post, so I'll let you guys pretend that I was talking to myself; I needed to get that out of my chest. My actual reason for updating today was to show you another feature directly from Newgrounds. It's a scream, baby!

Play More!

Enjoy, and have a nice weekend!

   Look Alive
This morning, I had an oral presentation of my Apollonian and Dionysian project in Humanities. Ironically, I was the last of three students who was actually prepared for the damn presentation. The rest of the students there either didn't attend the course this morning or didn't bring the posterboard recommended for the project. Inside, I found it a bit odd because I had thought the opposite; my original thought was that everyone in the course would at least have their posterboard ready for their presentation. Prehaps I was expecting too much from my fellow classmates. Yet again, I am very proud to present my project today than tomorrow. Now I can move on w/ other things.

What else? I started playing basketball this past weekend, during Friday and Saturday. It was actually just a shootaround section, but it was rewarding. Whenever you have interal feelings that you just cannot let go, you might as well do something constructive. I'll have to say, though, that I'm probably not the best shooter in the world, no matter how many times I try to make a basket.

So far, that is all. Signing off!

   Bright Eyes
Don't mind the title of this post; I based it on a Flash movie I had seen w/ a similar title. Anyway, I just returned from Humanities and now plotting out a presentation due next week. It is basicially based on two forms of responsive thinking: Apollonian - basically a rational, analytical form of responsive thinking - and Dinonysian - the more creative and conceptual approach. It is quite interesting when you really think about it. Considering everything that I had experienced in life, I want to use those experiences to allow me to ensure a certain balance. In other words, I feel as if I have to get my entire life in order if I am to improve my well-being. If that, in some way, doesn't work out the first time, there are other methods to consider. This assignment is well suited for me.

I had submitted more wallpaper yesterday if you guys wish to check it out. As of right now, I'll be gone. See you soon!

   Swamped
My mother visited to help me gather several things from the grocery store yesterday; I was running out of decent food this week. She told me to call her if I needed anything. She even offered to help w/ my photography course, which I am taking now to replace the previous grade that I had during my summer semester. I need the help, esp. when I have to get off this suspension.

When my mother told me about the financial aid suspension, we both felt upset about it, but I felt it came as no surprise. It really bothered me because I thought I was doing good at something when apparently the GPA for the term showed I wasn't. I want to do my best at everything that I do, esp. in courses of my technology, yet it seems something within me is holding me back and causing my confidence within myself to wain altogether. Yet again, I am far from giving up despite of my methods and beliefs coming against me as fatal flaws of my personality. I wish never to allow myself to become somebody who doesn't have any purpose in life because that is exactly the last thing that I want to do.

I didn't mean to go out like this, but I feel that I have an obligation to fulfill my goals in life, otherwise I may never make anyone in my family or circle of friends feel inspired or proud of my work. I'm always praying to God for encouragement to move forward and to never give up. Now I ask if you guys could do the same.

Signing off now.

The wallpapers are in!
It appears that the two of three wallpapers that I submitted yesterday (the second not meeting the requirements of the approval queue) are receiving a good reception. The first wallpaper received about 14 downloads and the second received 18, giving a total of 32 downloads from just those two. I don't want to gloat or anything, but I am really surprised how many people are really intrigued by my creations. It feels good, actually.

I'm visiting the counseling office later on before my next class this afternoon, which is one of the requirements to get me off financial aid suspension. I should've just called in for an appointment earlier this week; I was so busy w/ other things, I suppose. Other than that, I'm continuing drawing throughout the weekend and prehaps read for some time.

Signing off now! I'll chat later.

   Hiya!
I'm taking a break from reading and studying for a brief moment to chat. So far, things have been going smoothly, but I'll have to take every subject one at a time. After all, I don't want to exhaust myself into worry as I did the previous semester. On a lighter note, I am working on new wallpaper and fanart at this point and may submit them later this week. As of right now, I may have two wallpaper pieces finished already, but it has been a long time since I've done a decent piece of wallpaper, so please forgive me if the work turns out a bit rusty, okay.

I'll be moving along now! Signing off.

EDIT: The wallpapers have been submitted and should appear sometime tomorrow. Please feel free to check them out.

   Miss me, didn't ya'll?
Yeah, stupid question, unless a question isn't asked at all. Anyways, it is good to talk with you guys again, as cheesy as it may sound. It appears that my post is LONG overdue, so I appreciate the considerations I had gotten from a few people, and I'm staying anonymous about the names because those people know who they are. Many thanks!

Well, school was extremely torturous last semester, so much to the point where I couldn't manage my time entirely on my work. Because of this, I had received probation on financial aid, which means that a portion of the money spent for my education is taken from the school so that I won't receive full credit throughout the current semester. It is a bit bothersome, but imagine if I was in a huge university; they'd kicked a student out of the campus grounds if the actual requirements were met! So now, I'll have to retake one course from the fall semester and an alternate course to get off probation. The world works in mysterious ways, does it not?

The holidays went fine for me, yet my feelings were still a bit awkward considering that I did not have the best semester of my college career so far. So to be straightforward, I am looking to having a better year in 2006 (by the way, happy new year to all!) because I hoped to alter my direction in life for the better. If not, I may feel as if I was not up to my potential, or even worse, bitter and miserable than I am now. I definitely need the turnaround.

Well, the kid is pretty much out of gas for the moment, but that doesn't mean I'm gone forever. I am drawing more often than I would've in '05. No, I am not leaving myO or anything like that, it is just that I need time to reconsider my decisions in life. In this way, I can allow myself to be more open and sociable to the people around me, inculding the entire myO community.

Tis' well! Talk to you again.
