One step closer to victory

ANOTHER New Years Resolution has been vanquished!

What a glorious day indeed. I finally got my black belt completely, with certificates, papers, the belt, and everything.

I finished testing last summer, but never got around to completing all the extra red tape stuff. But last Saturday, I finally did it!

YAY!

July 21, 2007

So, at Peer9 I decided to check out some library books for the first time in a while. I got Artemis Fowl 5, and most of the Great Brain series. Read them all already, but they're the sex so they need another go. Edward and I split them up so I got one great brain book and artemis fowl

I read The Return of the Great Brain during dinner.

Then I studied APUSH for like, an hour before I decided screw this, I need to read Artemis Fowl 5. So I picked it up, and finished it at 2.

Ahhhh good times. I haven't stayed up like that to finish a book since... well. July 21, 2007. What an epic moment. I can't believe I forgot these things I loved.

Not this political bullcrap again!

I'm not very well-versed in economic issues, so I'll keep my hands off it. I know that I'm ignorant and dumb, and I probably don't know any better. I know that I'm too young and stupid to know what works and what doesn't, so... I'll just stick to social issues =)

Where your Personal score meets your Economic score on the grid below is your political philosophy. Based on the above score, you are a Moderate Liberal

Take that Edward!

Night Owl

I seriously need to stop sleeping late.

SIGHHH Pennsylvania

Catalyst

You insist to bring me down.

You contradict that fact that you, still want me around.

Best Years?

Some day I just feel like I'm gonna look back at my high school years, and then sigh disappointedly.

Too late now I guess.

But wait, it's never too late. Better late than not at all.

But still, I've dug myself into too deep a hole. Plus, I doubt I can really do anything. The walls are far too slippery.

But still, the fact that I already know how I'm gonna feel when I'm older, and the fact that I can't even do anything about it. In combination, that's pretty depressing.

Moderate

In politics, a moderate is an individual who holds the middle position between those generally classified as being left-wing or liberal and those seen as right-wing or conservative. An alternate definition, and one widely held among swing voters, is that a moderate is one who has firm convictions on all issues, yet some convictions fall just to the left of the spectrum and some fall just to the right.

Remember kids...

If no child can get ahead....

Then no child can be left behind!

Bamboozle Left

Was AWESOME!


Best one was Paramore, followed by Story of the Year for an extremely close second.

I was so pumped up.

My ears are ringing (not this crap again), and my face is 10x darker.


ONE New Years Resolution has bit the dust!

The Best Money You'll Ever Spend
