Raging Hormonal Dysfunction

2002-08-16T07:09:00.000-07:00

Hello people...I am currently at work, and have nothing to do, so I decided to update this thing. Well, you may ask, which work do you speak of. Well, I speak of my work at an OSU Dentistry laboratory. Yes, I have nothing to do right now. Oh well. On the plus side, I got a kick-ass parking space today. I only had to walk 5 city blocks instead of my usual 8.

I am now 18!!! Of course, it means nothing until I get out of the house and onto campus. I haven't utilized this fact yet either. No lottery tickets, no non-alcoholic beer, no porn, no cigarettes. I will have a good chance to do that stuff later, so I am not complaining. Perhaps I will go buy a lottery ticket as soon as I get off work. I mean, I can if I want to, that is all I am saying.

Does anyone know where my damn yo-yo is. I have been tearing apart my room trying to locate it! Where is it! I must perfect my skills...I must. I also need to find my mini mag lite. It was a great flash light. I lost it though...it would be kinda nice for college, you know.

Only 8 days until Jaguar is released!!! A very short period of time in my book. Other Apple Stores are holding parties that go from 10:30 until the wee hours of the night. It would be next Friday night. unfotunately the Apple Store in Easton has no such plans. The depression is overwhelming, but I am not about to travel to Arlington, VA just to have an Apple OS 10.2 Release party. Okay...so I have priced plane tickets to Arlington, but would you expect any less from me.

Karma may be on my side this week. I just learned that on Thursday, August 22nd, I will nbot have work due to an inservice day at the library. Now, for those who know what may be going on that day, which is pretty much everyone, how's that for good luck! Now I just have to justify the 25 dollars. Shouldn't be too hard to justify though.

I think I may move my b-day party to next weekend. Too much going on this weekend. Maybe a weekday next week. So lets say either Wednesday night, or Friday night. Yes...one of those two. I will email everyone about it. I still have to decide if I really will be grilling out, or if I will just make you all eat before. I dunno.

Ok...well, I must go. I think there may be some work for me to do finally. See you all later.

2002-08-04T21:49:00.000-07:00

Well well well...look who's finally returning to hig blogging roots...of hell. Yes, I am back and more bored than ever before! So I suppose I am going to have to tell people I am updating again considering the mere fact that I haven't for a month and people have likely stopped coming here. So I will therefore write an insanely long, and crazy entry summarizing the month of July.
Well, first of all, I think that July went pretty damn fast. I mean, I never knew that a month was really only about 1/1000 of the average person's life. Lets see...1.44 minutes is 1/1000 of a day...so that's just a little perspective on life. And 1.44 minutes is 1/30,000,000 of the average life. Therefore, if one were to count one number per second, up to 30,000,000, it would take 30,000,000 seconds, or 500,000 minutes, or 8333.333 hours, or 347.222 days, which roughly equals about a year. So don't try it...I mean you would need to eat, and sleep and breathe...and eat. On top of that, try saying seventeen million seven hundred and seventy seven thousand seven hundred and eleven in one second, and I will give you a nice shiny nickel. Therefore, it would take you significantly longer than a year to count to 30 million. Ok...enough of that perspective crap...now onto my July, which I still think went pretty fast.
Okay...first of all, I have started my regimen of a 6-day work week...I began that pretty much at the beginning of July. It has been hectic, but when I get my check I will think it was worth it. The only day I have to rest is Sunday...I do not have to work on Sundays, which is a relief. I will be putting an end to this madness on September 12th, when I am quitting the Library after over 2 years of dedicated service. I am not sure what will happen with my job at the lab...I may continue to work there during the school year. I get to work with cool poisonous stuff (one of which is TriZol, which is bright pink, and highly caustic), and use those cool pipetters that you see on the news when they have science stories.
In other news, I am going to go to Youngstown on Saturday and come back Sunday evening to go visit my Granma. She recently had back sugery, so we are gonna go up there and do some house/yard work to help her out. So that is some news. Lets see, OSU starts on September 25, but I move in on the 22nd. The week before OSU begins, we are taking a family trip, so that means I only have one more night under my parents rule as soon as the trip begins (which is 21-22 night!). Yay indeed. What else...I only have 4 nights left to break the ridiculous curfew that is put upon children under 18. I will have to do it at least once. My Mac collection has acquired and old Centris 650, which is an absolute workhorse from the early 90s. It still works prefectly. It came from my Mom's work. The lab I am working at at OSU has a Centris 650 from the early nineties that is used quite a bit even today.
I have recently bought a game to play around with called Max Payne. It was brought to my attention that Callon really didn't like this game, but I really do like it. Essentially, you kill everything in sight and it progresses through a story about Max who is caught between the mob and the police. The graphics kick ass, the bullet-time mode is ridiculously cool, and Max can fire 2 guns simultaneously!
I got my Septmber MacAddict yesterday. It contained a quiz to tell how much of a MacAddict you are. I got the highest rating, adding yet another level of pity to my life. Oh well, at least my pity works and doesn't crash on me every minute or have 13 fans. Who the hell needs 13 fans. And I really don't think that Callon's computer even works...he hasn't said much about it on his blog lately. He should just give up and get a Mac. I mean, really. Who claims to be building a video-editing machine, and doesn't bother to install a Firewire card which is the absolute standard in video camera to computer information transfer. Sorry, but USB 2.0 is not going to replace Firewire in that area too quickly, and as soon as it may gain some headway, Firewire 2 will come out and bring USB 2.0 (which has about the same transfer speed as Firewire 1 does, but Firewire's been out 4 years longer) to its slow and pathetic knees.
Okay...what else is happening. I really just wish I could skip all of August and go straight to September 14th. I need some Chipotle. Oh yeah...hey Megs...tell your sister that she either needs to tell me when she wants to bet on my eating of Chipotle. I will make a deal...she gets her friends and herself and others to bet me 50 dollars and the price of food...if I can eat 3 chicken burritos (loaded of course), I get the money. If I fail, I will have to do some pre-determined embarrasing thing, and she gets to keep her money. That way, I can keep my precious money. I mean, you don't make empty bets with me. Nope...tell her to call me because I am so up to the challenge.
Well, I am off to bed. Please buy a Mac, and if you have already bought one, please tell others to buy one. The most recent convertee has been Megan. She is now sporting an iMac G4 700...and she gets Jaguar (Mac OS 10.2) for a mere 20 dollars. 10.2 will be AWESOME!!! August 24th is its release date...I am counting the days. It will kick butt. Well, I will update more often...promise!

2002-07-03T22:33:00.000-07:00

Well, it's about time I update this thing. It will be a quick and dirty update, btu oh well. I mean it is 1:30 in the morning after all. Well, I finally have a cell phone. The number is 214-3341. try to call it more often than my house, for it will be easier. Also, tomorrow must be planned, and I may be gome much of the day.
So I lost that damn boomerang in that tree. Well, I ewnt back the next day, when the lighting was better, and alas, I saw it after about 30 seconds of searching. I then spent 30 minute trying to get it out, but with no prevail. It was pretty high up there in the tree, and seemed well supported. I plan on returning tomorrow morning (before the fireworks crowd) with some tools to retreive it. If you want to join me in my expedition (laugh now), call me on the cell number above (I am trying to get people to use it so I don't waste my money). What else...very long games of Uno are fun. Strategy is the best way to win, I have concluded. It helps when someone is about to win.
Tomorrow is the wonderful DooDah parade. The rain date is on July 3rd, and it is really fun. Is uggest people to come. You know the drill. Think of the National Lampoon in parade form, and out pops the DooDah parade!
My MacAddict is here!!! It's early considering my last one came halfway through the month. As soon as I am done devouring its contents, it is up for temporary usage by anyone. Also, I found the 2 missing issues. They seemed to be hiding under my bed, under some boxes. Sneaky little devils, eh?
Well, I must get some sleep. Apple Rules!
GET A MAC!

2002-06-27T21:30:00.000-07:00

Well well well, look who's finally updating his blog!
Not too much in the life of Claman today. I worked from 1-5 (my job is completely pointless). It really is pointless though. I put books on a shelf, in order, only to have them pulled off the shelf by a dumb, poorly-parented 5-year-old who goes around screaming in a library. Like this one girl who was wandering for no apparent reason. Well, she must have been obsessed with the color pink (nothing woring with that, I know Megs), because after wandering to the "Parenting" section in the children's department, she spots a book with a slight pink stripe at the top of the binding. She pulls it out, and starts running to her oblivious dad while screaming, "pink, it's pink, we gotta get this pink book!" The dad proceeds to say, "okay, I'll just add it to the pile" and puts it in the bag of books he collected. Well, I read the title of this partially-pink book she pulled. It was "About Crack and Coccaine- How to Keep Your Child Safe" Okay, I highly doubt this child is going to read up on how to stay away from these drugs. I am even more certain that this dad won't be reading stories about people who used these drugs, as his child wanders off to sleep. Oy vey.
So anyways, I am getting tired. It was a lame update, I know, but I will do the same tomorrow wiht any luck.

2002-06-26T19:51:00.000-07:00

I haven't updated this thing for almost 1.25 years....so much has happened....I just can't possibly write everything down, so pretend that I lived a hideously boring life, worthy of no blogger updates. Holy shit, that is a good overview of the last 1.25 years.
Recent News:
I just came back from a one week excursion to New York. I figured out that there is nothing to buy there that is worth it...pretty much anything that is there can be purchased here. I also had a pigeon take a massive shit on me. Well, it actually hit someone else, but it partially bounced off him, and splattered onto me. He only had a nickel-sized plotch to wash off, but I had a crapload of little spots of pigeon shit on me. I would have rather had one big one. I think I had missed some spots, but I survived.
Let's see...I recently downloaded a rap song in Hebrew. Anyone who's heard Hebrew already knows that it kinda sounds funny...well Hebrew rap sounds like someone made a CD of the sound of a freighttrain and made the CD skip. I can't quite explain it in any other fashion...if I see you, I'll let you hear it.
I have found a new hatred: I hate unnecessary use of turn signals, prolonged use of turned signals at unnecessary times, and lack of turn signal use when necessary. I have tried, for the last 2 years, to perfect the art of turn signal usage. I think I have it down to moderate perfection (the occasional slip-up does occur), but some people really need to take a turn-signal useage course. I am offering to teach this course at a cost of 10.03 dollars an hour, with a suggested 4 hours of teaching time. Please sign up by emailing me at meteor202@mac.com
Alas, I am done for the day...sorry about the massive uninterestingness of this blog. I will attempt to spicen it up in the future.
Don't forget a few things though
#1: Buy a Mac
#2: Buy a Mac
#3: Never walk under pigeons
#4: See numbers 1 and 2
#5: See number 4
#6: Always ask the toilet for permission before use
#7: When the fire hydrant jumps to 12 o'clock, eat a tree throwing chocolate through the heap of radioactive sewage

2001-05-03T07:40:00.000-07:00

Well....I believe that I am only going to update this thing when I am at the LC. Why waste my precious time at home with this. Well....maybe not. Who knows. I can't believe it has been a whole week since I updated this thing, but what can you do about it...that's right, absolutely nothing at all. Unless you know my password, of course, and only 2 people know it. So let's see...something pointless to talk about...I haven't a clue.
Celery can kiss my posterior.
Ok....the English language is in serious need of something new, and I say that we add a contraction that would make life altogether easier. Since nobody probably cares, I amn't going to reveal this contraction...haha. And by the way...I used it somewhere in this entry already. Wow...well, I certainly made that one hard to figure out.
There happens to be some confusion about my utter hatred towards celery. I believe that I have already, but I will reiterate my utter disgust. Now when it enters my mouth, my taste buds would rather enter hell than be subject to the taste. The bitter hell of celery. How evil. It is like being put into a bitter piece of hell. It sucks. How can anybody enjoy the taste. I was recently coerced to taste a celery soda. Now, before I say anything else, I want to say that any preconceived notions that pop up into your head about such a disgusting beverage are most probably extremely correct...it was disgusting....more on this later.

2001-04-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

Once again, I come from the LC...yes...the place that is 2 degrees warmer than the west cafeteria, and thus has gained my respect as a better place to go during study hall. Let's see...something to write about...well yesterday was pretty crappy. I had to get up at 7:30, and then I slept from 3:00 to 6:00 in the afternoon. And the sad thing is that it didn't make me any less tired...in fact, I am even more tired now than I was before I got all the sleep. I think that I can attribute this to something that has been bothering me for quite some time, and has caused many restless sleeps similar to the two I experienced yesterday. I will not, however, bother you with such problems. They are much too complicated to explain. It would take a lot of typing, and I do not think that I am up to that at this time.
So let's see...something a bit more cheery. Well, I have successfully gone through half of a monday already. I had my math quiz delayed until tomorrow, so I guess that is a good thing. I have a stupid spanish essay today, which is a bad thing. Oh well...it isn't worth too many points.
I have to get going now, for I only have 2 minutes left in this period. I am assuming that I will update this some time in the near future.

2001-04-19T08:12:00.000-07:00

I only have 3 minutes, so I guess I really can't say much. I will hopefully someday update this for real. I have been told by a couple of my friends to tell you that I am still alive, ok, and the like. So anyway, I'll update this someday within the next few months, years etc.

2001-02-16T15:33:00.000-08:00

Ok...so it's been a month since I have last updated this log. Now, there are a few good reasons for this, and a bunch of lousy excuses to accompany them. Lets see, I have been doing extensive research for a multi-genre research paper (actually 4 of them), so I have spent most of myp online time, up 'til now, doing that. There have not been any long weekends for me to relax over, like there is right now. I've had extensive amounts of homework from all of my classes. And that is just getting started
So maybe I should update you on my life. Let's see...the big thing right now is my physical well-being. On 2-2-01, I had just been getting out of my car to go into my school, and *wham*. I stood up too early and bashed the top of my head against my car's door frame. So then I was just sitting in orchestra, and I started to get a blurry spot, which turned into a blind spot whcih turned into a blind spot surrounded by colorful lines that took up 1/3 of my vision. So I go to the nurses office, and the visual thing goes away after about 35 minutes, but it is followed by this excrutiating headache. It felt like my brain was being sucked right out of my skull. So ever since then, I have had a headche, and it has been 2 weeks. It's become less severe since wednesday, but it still is pretty bad at most times. I went to a neurologist today. I am getting some medication to treat it, and an MRI on 3-4-01 just to make sure that nothing is too seriously injured. Maybe to make sure I have a brain too, I dunno. Fun life, eh?
I also bit off a part of my tongue later that day, by the way. Just a tiny peice, but it still hurt in great quantities.
I can't beleive Napster is down. I am downloading a mac verison of Gnutella, but I don't know if it is going to be as nice and easy as Napster. Dumb 9th Curcuit Court Judge.
I now remember Spanish...¡¡¡ES BUENO!!!
Mac OSX comes out in 36 days!!! I am going to preorder it. Can't wait to run it. My computer is elated.
Discover Magazine is really nice. I am serious. It has some really cool articles. I have learned a lot of stuff from that magazine. Like that recent NASA landing on that asteroid...I read an article about that in the January (Or February, I forget) edition of that, and knew about all of the stuff long before they announced it on TV, radio, etc. I actually knew more than they said on the news. And I just recently learned that our universe is flat, and expanding at an ever-increading rate, according to scientists as of today, which is totally opposite of what scientists thought 10 or so years back. They thought, back then, that the universe was spherical and expanding at an ever decreasing rate. See, I know lots of stuff. It is an awesome magazine. Buy it, read it, and read it.
Ok, I think I am done for today. I will be updating this thing more often, I promise. Buh bye.

2001-01-17T13:51:00.000-08:00

Well, today was pretty dumb. Study hall is run like a country under a dictator, and I don't remember any spanish. Not to mention that, under thorough investigation, I have noticed a mole on my arm that seemed to have grown. And what do you know...it has all of the ABCD characteristics. Ya know...asymmetry (and I love symmetry...the damn mole goes against me and my morals), raised border, funny color, and diameter of over .5 cm. Yeah...I have to go get it taken off sometime soon, and then get it tested. Sounds like wonderful fun. So yeah...all of my exams seemed to go pretty well. I got almost all of the grades back, and I seriously cannot complain. Ok...totally new subject. If you have been reading these logs, you would have noticed the large quantities of references to my hatred of celery. Perhaps I should explain this...ok. First of all, it tastes like crap. Literally. Its bitter, and icky. Next, is its texture. Kinda mushy, yet firm...its disgusting. And the little strands of cellulose that stick in your teeth. Granted they are good roughage, they are annoying. How about those little leaves that stick out of it..ya know, that just get torn off. Does the plant actually think it will regrow and live again...I don't think so. It was raised from the seed to be picked and eaten. Now yeah, celery has some supposed good nutritional value, but that doesn't really compell me to eat it. No way. Now the cucumber...there's a vegetable that is respected. Very tasty, good, no cellulose in long strands. And as for fruits...clementines take the prize, along with grapes, and bananas...and the occasional apple. Speaking of which...GO APPLE!!! Anyway...where was I.
New subject once again...and this one is about dumb driving. Ok...explain something to me. Why do people stop on train tracks to see if a train is coming while going over them?? The whole point is to get off the train tracks to prevent being run into. I mean, what if you can't get off. WHY STOP?!?!?! If you just go over them without stopping or slowing down, you should have enough speed to get over. Then you wouldn't have to worry about a damn train. Now people justify this stopping with checking for a train because the gates may have malfunctioned. Well, then if they had, you would want to get over and off the train tracks as quickly as possible....AGGHHH!!!
Ok...I'm spent. I will blog sometime later today or tomorrow. See ya!

2001-01-16T16:28:00.000-08:00

Hello all again. I am sorry that I haven't updated this for a while. Of course not too much happened in my semi-pitiful existence as of late. Yeah..so I set up a fishtank in my room yesterday. Its nice...got a few fish now. And they seem pretty happy. Nice and fat. Well fed. I also was hit on in a gameroom by some 11 yearolds. Very strange, to say the least. They were just like...I like you, and I was like...who are you, and they were like....does it matter and I was like..yeah. But yeah, its all good. I will never talk to her again. Lets see...the results of that dental xrays showed a wonderful thing. I am going to have to get a root canal, on a front tooth. (This is due to a 3rd grade accident, and not improper brushing/flossing) Isn't that just wonderful. I can't wait! (All sarcasm, by the way). How about a new subject. My lack of spanish abilities. Yeah, i haven't been in a Spanish class for a year, and I am going to start tomorrow....AHHHHHH!!! And the school has decided to not give me a lunch this semester. It will be ok, though. I hate eating lunch at 11:00 anyway. And I get a study hall. Exciting, eh? Well..time to eat dinner. More to come...since I have no homework tonight. And again, celery is a dumb vegetable. But, see ya.

2001-01-12T10:08:00.000-08:00

Hello all 3 people that read this. Is this not an exciting site?? Well, I guess all my exams are over with!!! Now I can relax a bit more. But I am also bored. It's all good, though. I still have to go to the dumb dentists for xrays, which should be boring as all hell. And I still hate celery. And symmetry is still awesome. And I am talking about bilateral symmetry. You know...like the letter "H" or "T" or "A". I think you get the idea. But radial symmetry is not as cool. It is a bilateral symmetry wanna-be. But yes...I must eat lunch now, for fear of starvation has overcome me. I'll likely update this later, for those who actually read this. And in case you don't already know, my email address is meteor202@mac.com or pickle.1@excite.com Happy...uhhh..readings, or something.

2001-01-11T12:55:00.000-08:00

Wow...nice and fast I can see. Lalalalala. I am bored. Today was a day just like any other day. And I still despise celery and all of its evils. I was up until 1:30 yesterday finishing up some loose ends on some school work for exams. Luckily, after tomorrow, it will all be over!!! Wohoo...and then I get to go to the dentist. Exciting, eh? I guess in the most abstract way possible, it is. And my stock is up 10.57%...GO APPLE!!! Yes, all is kinda well, but I still have many obstacles to overcome in the upcoming days. Tomorrow I have a chemistry exam...pretty easy, but I should still study a little. I also have a history exam. Shouldn't be too bad. Both are mutiple choice, so all will be well. Of course there are the Hayes tests..those were multiple choice tests, and were impossbile...oh well. And guess who I ran into in the hall today...Dr. Grimm (A.K.A. Mr. Monotone) He is cool though. A good teacher. Well, this blog is becoming extensive. I better shut up for now...I will be on later for more Bloggage.

P.S.- Bloggage is a new term I just made up...everyone should start using it.

2001-01-10T13:31:00.000-08:00

Well, today I had great fun in exams. I mean, I love having to overload my brain for 2 hour segments. Oh well, the hard one is done. The rest are pretty easy. Tomorrow should be cake. Nobody reads this. I got to eat lunch with all my friends today!!! And no table bitch!!! (not that I know him anyway). I still have about 1.5 essays to write tongiht, but I am mostly done. Well, I guess that I hate celery still. And I drive a damn wagon. Oh yeah...by the way, I think I will be in a bad mood for a while. Or at least a passive mood. A complaint mood? We will just have to see. All you have to do is make fun of me or something I am adamant about, and see how I react to see if I am in a compliant mood (in other words, see if I put up a fight). Well, see you all tomorrow. And, I am problematic. Wait...I dunno...anyway...whatever...well....see...ya.

2001-01-09T12:57:00.000-08:00

OK...SO I AM NOT IN THE WRITING MOOD....GEEZ

2001-01-09T12:53:00.000-08:00

Ok...I guess that I am forced to update this thing. But this is the last one until Friday. Maybe tomorrow, actually, I dont know yet. But that is it. I need to study for math now.

2001-01-08T13:00:00.000-08:00

Wow...well, I guess this is my very first loggy thing. In light of my recent failiures in almost all areas of life, I think that this will be a nice place to vent. Well, publishings are to come.
