What's your favorite music for a Sunday morning?
Submitted by Nick.

    Mostly classical stuff, I think that anything peaceful will do.  Most boys my age probably would listen to some kind of slow-rock thing, something to listen to either on a Sunday morning or when you're really high.  I can't give you anything more specific because my taste in music is so vast I almost like anything at any time.

What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.

This is an introduction to Vox's question of the day.  I think it's an interesting little mechanic: Vox introduces a question and spurs you on to create an entire journal entry, something need work on: writing in general.  Sometimes I'll answer the qotd, sometimes I won't.

This is an interesting question, for I don't really play video games anymore, but I still have favorites.  The list, is, as follows:

1. Lemmings
2. Starcraft
3. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (on the Sega Genesis--pretty much any early Sonic game is good.)
4. Super Smash Bros. (Either one)
5. Advance Wars (take your pick.)

More or less.  I have others, but won't go into detail right now.  Lemmings was a great, innovative game that should have been remade again and again.  The possibilities with Lemmings are endless, so why did it stop?  I demand a pocket-one, I've heard rumors they had it for the PSP.

And I'm going into fanboy-ism.  Gah.  Bad.

I'm also going to be introducing my own qotd: the Quote of the day (I guess I'll have to tag it with quotd.)  It'll be here in the next post.  For now I'm sitting in Math class, and I'm supposed to be doing work. 

So my computer is fixed.  I had to take it to the mac store where I had to wait for an hour after my appointment was scheduled.  The time it took for the guy to fix it was about five minutes.  Jesus.  You guys wanna waste my time, or what?  Although I will say that a trip to the mac store shows me how much potential my mac has, and how much I'm letting all that potential go to waste.

But that's ok.  Now I can fully explore vox and all of its capabilities.  Like this add feature--you can add anything you want into it.  And it'll store it and give me recommendations and stuff.  Like Last.fm (totally cool site, I can use it to track all of the music I play.  I've been using it for a while, sign up now! /plug) anyway, it will relate stuff to other stuff, which I think is cool.

Now for politics: I live in San Francisco and absolutely hate being associated with it.  Yeah, I like it, it's my theme for this blog, but everything it stands for is a bunch of stereotypes.  One time, I was on a cruise ship and hanging out with a bunch of other youth.  The question of where everyone came from came up, and someone was like, "Oh, where are you from, Cliff?"  I responded with, "Oh, San Francisco."  The response?  "Are you gay?"

Now normally I would laugh at it, and now that I think about it, I should have punched the guy in the face and maybe spit on him.  Come on.  "Are you gay?"  That's like saying, "Oh, you live in Europe.  Are you white?"  As long as I live in America, I'm free to go anywhere I want, and if I want to live in San Francisco (THE greatest city in the world) I will live there and be friends with the people living in the town.  I'm not gay.  I have gay friends who happen to live in San Francisco.  And unless you want me to associate you with bumfuck Nebraska or wherever you live, you'll stop associating my town with gay people.  It's like the new Chinatown of the US.  Since you people are so anti-gay, they have no choice but to shepherded into an area of the country where they can try to survive.

Ok, no more ranting.  I'll end with a wonderful book I highly recommend, I'm reading it for English class.  It's called "The Bell Jar," and it's a really interesting focus on the psyche.  Take a look.

Hey all!

Welcome to my new blog.  I figured I should have something a little more online and a little more organized going into college since I needed something to keep my life in order.  I've actually started this blog on a computer that is not my own, and....

...hold on...fixing dinner...

Ok!  Where was I?  Ah yes, first post.  This will be a series of things that I actually care about but at the same time don't care if they get out.  I've had too much experience stumbling in on people's blogs and finding stuff that I don't want to find, so I'm pretty much done with that, and as I turn over a new leaf I will start this small blog in honor.  Look forward to interesting links and such.

Other than that, it's not REALLY a personal journal, it's a little more public than that.  I keep everything else in a moleskine (fascinating little thing, it helps immensely with tasks and such--I'm writing an entire play in it!)  So yeah.  Just some daily stuff that might prove interesting, might not.  I don't think I will choose to track you if you visit the site (I could if I wanted to at any time, so be forewarned from here on out) and keep in mind that I may choose to edit posts, (I know, kind of shoots the whole "live and uncut" thing to oblivion, doesn't it?) but I'll only edit them within five minutes of posting them, ok?
