A new NIN album was released today!! I had no idea until I read Gizmodo! I immediately went to the NIN site and downloaded the album!! I have to say, its about as amazing as Year Zero, but the lack of record company makes up for the little that it lacks. Oh? Did I forget to mention that they broke away from the record company and released this for free? Well it is!

Go download NIN!
I'm at school right now, typing on a computer that I'm doing my health project on. I'm a little bored, and the room is like 80 degreez (like that spelling?). It has no windows to open, and no air vents, and I often find myself wondering how sturdy the floor is..... I kinda feel like telling elctrodude about this, about how you can get onto blogger. I think its kinda cool, cuz if the teacher asks you what your doing you just say "I'm typing this down into an email client on the cloud (Internet app) because I have my own email on a server, and the school is on the black list." Basically just sound like you know what your doing, and they wont bother you! Anyways, I do realize that this post is rambling, and that's mostly because I'm doing a bunch of stuff at once. I keep having to check my back for my health teacher. And I'm basally done with all the work I can do in school (Well not really, I have to touch up the stuff I'm going to put in the project, but I can always do that tomorrow). Just want to say again, I am incredibly happy that I can use blogger in school!! (now i just need to put an app on my blog that allows me to check and send my email! *wink*)
Lets ride a horse to the next subject!! *neigh*
Now lets talk about IM (Yes, we are covering all the tech and social bases today!)
Iv found that it is incredibly hard to start a good convorsation online.....
Whoops, time to go allready!?? It is 8:40 though....

I have it on good authority that if you type in google into google, you can break the internet! So dont even try it! not even as a joke ppl!
Hey everyone! I just got my new shoes! I bought them from a site called Zappos. The brand is called PF Flyers. It only took 2 days for the shoes to get here! WOW
I luff them!
So far this week I'v been thinking allot, not about philosophy, but more about social things and how the brain reacts to certain situations. It all started in World Civ (which by the way is a very cool class). We were asked the question " What institution influences you the most?" My answer was the school. I was the first to speak, and because of that, I spoke for about 20 minutes! It was great fun! After that, I went to French and talked about some stupid French stuff...............
That got me thinking though, about how people are influenced by all the people around them (I really do like what I call social engineering!)
These are some excerpts from the conversation I had with one of my friends:
me: when you were younger, did you accept the religious things you were told or did you question them?
me: Through my whole life i have basically despised church. When i was little my dad used to make me and my brother of six years older go. I hated it, I couldnt figure out why we had to go. Even when i was that little, i knew the reason people went to church : to fell good, because they feel like they need to, and mostly because they were made to by their parents. I could tell that none of these things were happening to me, so i really didnt feel the need to go
me: thats the point of religion, and i just feel like i dont need that at this point in my life
I found a site that organizes information about closed and open beta sites. Its called Invite Share. I was looking for a site that needed invites and found many more! So many more, that I forgot what site I was looking for in the first place. Im predicting that most of the sites will fail, but not all. Most of the ones were social, and I see a huge problem in getting all your friends to get on them. A really cool one was avairy, its a graphics web application! It looks sooo cool!

Just call me..... Mr. Mittens
Well im in Science Olympiad right now, at Loyola Academy. Its kinda cool, but a little boring. Oh well! Our airplane is kinda crappy. It keeps breaking! Me and Harish are going to make another airplane to compete with the one we are using now. Yeah, were totally going to win. I had to wake up at 5:30! So I woke up and went to school and got there at 6:15. Took the bus and ate some bagels. So we got here, set up and did some test flights. After that we went back and im currently hanging out in the LF room with some upperclssmen. Theres some (crazy) girl thats in our club, her name is Lil. Somehow she is incredibly hyper all the time, its insane. You might have noticed that my writing is not as good as before, im not sure why, I just dont feel like writing well right now. Bye!

Cool Beans!
This post is going to be short (Yay?) Im a little peeved that my favorite music site is not letting me log in! I have reset my password to 1 and yet, it still wont let me! This has led me to think that A) Im logged on in another computer (How would that effect me?) or B) They deleted my account (Why?). The strange thing is that they have my email, its the only way I can get my pass, but it wont let me log on!! Im pissed! I want my music!
While I was crawling the "Series of Tubes" (Courtesy of Sen. Ted Stevens) I found a really cool article on Lifehacker about profiling people. I thought it was interesting so I followed the link to this site. It turns out its allot more than just profiling, it includes the hierarchy of actions and desire.
Eg: "David is a guy, who enjoys being heavily sarcastic to the point that makes people feel bad. He enjoys destabilising people using stupid arguments. He does that because by making them feel less powerful, he tricks his Ego to think that he is on his way to achieve some form of social power and thus security. He compares himself with his ‘victims’ and says: “Hey, I am more powerful than him”. He has adopted that strategy through the years without knowing why: He just does it." (From Happy Brain Storming)

There, you (according to the article) know almost everything about my personality!
Almost forgot! I saw the move Cloverfield today.
I have to say that the monster does not look like this. It has a smaller tail and more human-esque limbs. I would like to add that it had very Sin-Spawn (FF10) like things that drop from it and make you explode. Onto the review! Over all the movie was crappy, yes I said it, I am aware of the measures that paramount went to market this movies, but it wasnt worth it. Dont believe the hype! The effects were amazing, but thats about it. The plot could make you say "Whad you think of the plot?" "Wait what plot?". The story progression made sense, but the plot had no meaning. I would also like to add that no movie will ever be good by using the "Blair Witch" effect.
Was it long enough?

CheeseBurgerNinja Out!
So, I have finals this week and I get out of school at 12:50. Im going to lunch with my friends in town. This week, its all new. First off, I made a new wallet because my other one was falling apart and was of inferior quality.
^Thats my new one! I didnt intend for the orange to look like a person.
I also got something else! A new chair! For the same reason as my wallet, inferior quality.
^Sweet, right?(It may look like my room is messy.......and your right to assume that!)
So, onto the new music!
Two of these artists I found through TheSixtyOne
One called Saul Williams
Other called Jonathan Coulton
And then Lupe Fiasco I found through Contapper
And oh yeah, my new chair broke while I was writing this! Im going to take it back :(
As some of you know, I make maps for my favorite game.
TF2!
I made my first one, but I havent been able to play it due to game crashes :(
Im hoping to make another one tho, the map layout is not done yet, so bear with me!
This is the last week until the break was over. I'm sad! :( Oh well, I suppose I have to! I saw three movies this week. The first was AVPR and the second and third were I Am Legend and Blade Runner. I saw AVPR on Thursday.
It was horrible. The opening scene was a boy and his father hunting. The Aliens and a Predator land where they are hunting. The dad gets eaten by an Alien spawn. About five seconds after I said "This is going to be bad if that kid gets eaten" Of course the kid gets eaten. "Oh man that was sick" And that's pretty much how the rest of the movie went, a bunch of "Wow that's horrible if that person gets eaten" and "I cant believe he got eaten". AVPR was an unholy Satan spawn of two great movies.
The second movie I saw was on Saturday. It was awesome to say the least. The funny thing is that it left me feeling empty. Its strange, it was a great movie and I would see it again, but something wasn't there. Plot possibly? Or maybe too little time had passed between movie events? I remember one scene where the zombie-vampire-mutant-things set a trap for him, and they even had a leader. I thought they would go somewhere with it, like evolution, but they never did. I would see it again though! Great action, suspense, and a bit scary. Great fun!
The last movie I saw was on Sunday as well. I saw it in a theater called The Music Box that only shows old movies. I was told that Blade Runner was a good movie, but I felt misinformed. The movie seemed to fly by. None of the scenes seemed to stay in my mind. Maybe Iv been spoiled by all these new fangled special effects, I didn't like it. Oh well. Jumper seems cool. :)
It seems like all my stuff is breaking! First my mouse, now my keyboard. My keyboard is slow to respond, and sometimes the keys stick without the buttons being pushed down. It angers me! I'm reluctant to get a new one though. I'm worried that it wont feel right, but I know I'll get used to it.
G'Night peeps on the series of tubes!

That's Boss!
