I’m going to sleep early … in the morning

Ahh yes, here I am. Miss me? I formally apologize for the delay between the last entry and this one. I’ve been very busy and had many obligations that I couldn’t get out of. Not only was school demanding, work challenging, and my home life very active but… aww forget it I’m tired of making excuses. School? Pfft it hasn’t even staretd yet. I just didn’t post because I got lazy! Ok, now that the stupid introduction is out of the way, I’ll continue with my plans for total world domination! Oh wait, back up. I picked up the wrong notecard. I’m going to continue with my plans for tonight’s blog! That’s right, the ever-boring but continuously existant redundant nonsensical rambelings of a lunatic mind. I use that line too much don’t I? Yeah, I do. Uhoh, now the arguing starts. Hey, you know what? I think Scott shoud talk entirely in the third person… or at least… start to. What do you think? You don’t like it? Forget you, I say that Scott does what I want, and I want him to speak from my mouth. Got that?! Jeez, the nerve of you people. Ok, you know what? forget it. Have it your way. Scott can speak back from himself.

Gawhh! Comments deleted? What happened?! Well, truth be told, it was a little booboo. There was some construction going on in the webserver side and I did make backups, but I make them too early. I lost about thirty six hours’ comments. I almost lost that crazylong blog I spent so long typing the other night, but I was able to pull it out of my web browser’s cache to repost. /phew!/ So, for those of you who are wondering where the 23 comments to last night’s post went, now you know. And, oh yeah, why’d the server go down? Well I’ve been noticing lots of strange little problems and so have the guys that hosy my website, so he physically switched me to a new server and reset all the stuff. I have logs that actually work now =oD

CSS? XHTML? Validation? Wha?! Well you may have heard me throw around the idea in the past. I’m sick and tired of the messyness of my code. I’m almost sick of it enough to actually do something about it. Has thispoint been reached yet? Uhh.. nuh uh. My site works fine at the moment and renders decently in IE, netscape, opera, mozilla-based browsers, and links. Lynx renders it improperly (multiple pages instead of tables) but it all works. The work I’d do would take a while for me to learn and impliment and it wouldn’t make my site look at all different. It’s purely for imperfect.jpgthe sake of knowing that I have cleaner code under the hood. Actually, when I was writing the site layout that I’m currently using today, you can view the source and at the bottom of every page I write a little message. Cute, huh? No one’s caught it on their own yet, and it’s been months! I’m very suprised. CSS stands for cascading stylesheets and I already use CSS for lots of my text and table styles, however when I say CSS in this post, I’m implying that i’d be using CSS to control my layout instead of tables. Tables were never intended for the layout purposes that they’re so oftenly used for today. And, oh yeah, XHTML. What is XHTML? It’s simply HTML that’s properly formatted by the XML coding standards. w3schools.org has more information on both of these languages. You should take a look at that website, it’s very helpful.

School’s coming up. Today is my last schooless Friday night for a long time. My first class starts on Monday (3 days). Christmas break seemed long, but I’m a little bumed that I didn’t do either of the two big projects I was planning on. I never got my LCDs to work well enough to sell them, and I never did make AimPoo opensource. My excuses? LCDs, even if I sold them at 10$ earnings per unit would not sell that often enough to make it worthwhile. And AimPoo? AimPoo my butt =op I’m so sick of the whole project that the very thought of working on it makes me want to vomit. I still struggle with the idea of whether or not I should have ever written it. I can’t think of more than one thing good that it did. What’s the one thing? Well, I got to get to know Rei, and he’s an awesome guy. I feel bad because I act like a jerk around him sometiems… /sigh/ I need to talk to the guy. Anywho, now you know, and I’ll be sure to post about my days at school. When it comes to blogging, I found it a lot easier to blog when I was in school, because not only would I be able to do it over lunch, but the social interaction gave me a more dynamic perception of the world around me that kept on unlocking new doors for topics to talk about. Speaking of which, on to the next.

I have… no life. This is true, but not in a bad way! I love the way that my life has unfolded so far and am very pleased with the directions in which it’s heading right now. I wouldn’t change anything ^_^ However, when compared to [what is usually referred to as] “a normal teenager life”, mine seems so dull! I mean, dang. I don’t go anywhere, I don’t do anything, I don’t have a girlfriend, I don’t even really have friends that I do things with, I do my school, I do my job, I do my computer work, and um, that’s about it. Someone pointed this out to me again a little while ago and I just thought it might be mentioning, it’s very true, strangely odd, but fine with me nonetheless. If nothing else, I might get some good comments about the topic. ^_-

Wow! I am dead! I had so much to talk about, and it’s all written down, and I only got through 3 of the (about) 30 topics I wanted to address tonight. I’m yet again too tired to continue. It’s only 2:17, but I wasn’t able to sleep last night and woke up early and ended up very tired all day. I need to try to reclaim some of the lost sleep. I’d best depart. I haven’t used any images so far, so I think I’ll just reach into my little back of abstract art and slap a few pics on to add color. As for those topics, I’ll be sure to add them tomorrow. Maybe I should go for a 10,000 word blog? That’s a hundredth of a million words! Crazy. Ok, I’m out. goodnight everyone!

But wait, there’s more! Call within the next fifteen minutes and…. oh wait wrong line. Where was I going with this? Oh yeah! See below this entry how there’s a link to comment? Well, right below it is a link to recommend blog topics! HOW COOL!!!! Now you can have the power to influence the things that I write about on this site? How cool is that?!

One Response to “I’m going to sleep early … in the morning”

I was just giving you one possible reason that your life is not bad. There’s a flaw in your logic: the inverse of a statement doesn’t necessarily hold the same truth value as the statement itself. For example, just because Microsoft software is generally bad, it doesn’t make non-Microsoft software generally good. However, I’ll give you a few more statements, which are harder to mistake for insults. You seem like an interesting guy. You don’t seem like you easily get bored. You seem like you always have things to do; somewhat unique things, even. Maybe its your tolerance for seemingly dull things which lets you get into a seemingly dull life. Seemingly dull, but definitely unique: a blessing in disguise.
