Well, I moved my site, That's right. I now have my site on Nerdville Paradises site. It figure it's much easier to manage one site then to try two and who knows. Maybe I'll update the blog more that it's here now. This week was hectic. We had our Senoir Boards. This may mean little to most of you but it means about 200 points of my grade. That makes the difference between graduating and not graduating. I did fairly well. I got a 17.66 out of 18 altogether which is hard to do much better. I have another project due for Zimmerman tomorrow involving the court case between Gitlow and New York. I don't know about you, but I really don't give a shit about what beef New York had with Gitlow. So he was a communist Bastard, that's his problem, not mine. Whatever, it should all be over soon. Then I can relax and sleep. And work, can't forget the work. Anyway, the site's lookin good. I'm seeing about moving to another host that supports php. Tata for now.

I had a LAN party last night. it was a very nice break after the week of hell. That's right, week of hell. There were multiple assigments due for every class on friday and a project worth 16% of my grade in my college class due Wed. All of this on top of the fact that my eagle project was yesturday. I am very very very glad that all of that is over and I can go back to being a lazy hobo.

Well, Hello Everyone. This week is star testing so I've been wasting my time on my portfolio for a while. I have gotten some work done on my comic but not quite as much as I had hoped. I actually am almost required to work on it now because I realeased the first one yesturday. I got an ok response. Some people found it funny, some people didn't read it. You know how it goes. A lot of people don't give something a chance because they don't think it will be good. Stupid Judgemental People. Anyway, I did have some people respond with positive comments. One person even compared me to CtrlAltDel which I consider High Praise. I will still be releasing it tomorrow and for those of you won't read it for fear that it will burn out your cornea, You have my greatest sympathy. Toodles.

Wow, 3/21 that's almost a month ago. I really need to post here more often, I bet there isn't even a person out there that still reads this thing. Oh well, It was more for me than for anyone else. Let's see, things have been cool. I went to a LAN party at Erik's house at the end of easter break and I held one at my house last weekend. It was great. There was almost 20 people there and we were all in the garage. We played UT2k4 for most of the LAN and I have to say, that is one of the most entertaining games that I have ever played. I started working on my hall of giants conversion. I still have to add some jumpers to it and then I'll test and make sure that everything works. I also had my very first Bawls. I like the taste, It is a little like ginger ale. I want to revamp my site, If I do, I will probably use the same layout for my portfolio. I unfortunatly have no sense of style whatsoever. If I do make one it will most likely be a model of another site by someone else. Maybe I should use the site that I used for my final project in HTML. Speaking of HTML, that's where I am right now. I love this class, I don't do any work. :-)

Well, This week was an interesting one. My parents were gone all week so I had to house sit and take care of all the animals. I guess I must have failed because Di went to the bathroom in my parents room a couple times. It's funny, I shut the door at the beginning of the week and I haven't been in there since, So I have no Idea how, Di could have gotten in there. I blame Katie. Anyway, Political Studies was Hell, Cisco was Fun, Chemistry was interesting, and leadership was boring. Nothing really new there. I got 6th place in "The Screen Savers" LAN party on thursday, but of course they spelled my name wrong on the website. Honestly, How hard is it to spell JoeShmoe554??

People can just be stupid I guess. I just got back from Payne's creek. I went camping this weekend. It was ok, some of the food was good, some of the food was bad. I was away from home when my progress report came, luckily. I heard my dad was a bit unhappy with my grades. It sucks, I am pretty sure I got a 3.0 and he's angry. I did average in Political Studies, I did awesome in Cisco, Chemistry is fully calculated yet, and Leadership hasn't been upgraded for almost a month. Of course, he hasn't brought it up yet and I don't feel like starting that conversation. I guess that's all for now. This is Joe, Signing Out.

I've had a good week this week. It started on Monday and now it's friday. I did very well on my case study presentation and I ended the semester with the highest grade in cisco. I also got to see big booms made with propane yesturday. Life is good. Yesturday I was going to try and get some donations for my eagle scout project and I ended up behind a car that held a mac lover. How do I know he was a mac lover, because he had the mac symbol taped to his rear window. I was |-| this close to rear ending him. It did make me feel better that he was driving a POS truck. One of the best pieces of news this week was that we are no longer making cities in each of the class rooms for open house. I am now in charge of the open house for cisco but that should be much simpler. On Wednesday I went to Sarah's church to see what it was like. It was different, they sang, then prayed, then sang, then "professed", then sang again. There were some things that they said or did that I thought made a lot of sense but I also felt like there was an element of ignroance to "ouside world" Two of the people couldn't even remember the name of The Passion of Christ, and yet they were full and ready to condemn the film, even though it was made to enforce everything that they were saying that night. It was interesting and there are still a lot of things I don't fully understand, I am trying to figure them out, but I think that it may be impossible for one to understand that religion having been brought up in another.

I finished my senior project today. I got the light installed and I got the power switch mounted. The entire computer works like a charm. The only problem I ran into was that when I was drilling one of the holes for the light switch I hit the circuit board behind it. I ended up having to replace the circuit board for it but that was only about $20. I did tell my dad earlier that we should remove the circuit board but he insisted on leaving it on. Having that be the only serious complication in the whole thing is all in all a rather amazing thing. This computer should shine at the showing at the mount shasta mall. Anyway, I spent the rest of the day working on my scholarship stuff. I really hate scholarships.
