Alright well, I got tired of the Japanese livejournal screen name. And the layout. Might as well make everything the same, so I got me another new livejournal.

One sunny day in 2005, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."

The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here."

The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry"

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here."

The man thanked him and again walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke
to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not
the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"

The old man answered, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow".

Ok, I know this is kind of lame, but it's still at least a little cool to me. I'm updating my livejournal using a text only browser. Which means ... there's no pictures and .. it's basicaly like a cmd prompt. Go UNIX flavored things. The thing's called 'Lynx' by the way for anyone who's interested in trying it out.

Michael's in Advanced Web Design. That's a class for the truely 1337.

His most recent assignment was to re-design TaxDaddy.com.

Michael owns everyone with his Flash skils.
The Re-designed TaxDaddy.com
Kick ass.

I thought I'd give it a shot too.

IT'S ALIVE

Westlake High School Media Center

Thu, 30 Sep 2004 13:10:31 GMT

You're going the wrong way!

I swear, we're never going to get any rain every around here.

In other news, one of the librarians couldn't find the FTP password to change the Media Center Website. Boo. But then the other one found it. Horrah. Then she GAVE ME THE LOGIN INFORMATION FOR THE ENTIRE CVUSD'S FTP SERVER. That's right. I know the password for the CVUSD FTP server. I gave her the paper back, but not before I jotted down the password. The way it's set up is WHS has it's own folder on the www.conejo.k12.ca.us website so when you go to http://www.conejo.k12.ca.us/whs_lib/ it brings up the index.htm page. So .. anyways I can change files for basicaly every school in the CVUSD. But I won't. I just think it's incredibly funny how she just matter-of-factly handed me the most powerful password I have ever held in my hands in my entire life.

I thought about uploading all the files and fixing up the website for the Meida Center from my house, but then I figured it'd probably be a really bad idea. That didn't stop me from running my connection through a proxy to mask my IP address and then loging into the CVUSD FTP server just to see if the login worked, though. It did. YES. The password only has letters. Pathetic. I will crush them. Oh wait .. no I won't. I'm the webmaster. I'm pretty happy where I am for the time being.

For the time being ...

IT NEVER RAINS HERE. The rain litterally stops at the border and ... stops. I mean, look at it. Rain has something against Californians. Oh and it's not because we're in a desert. Oohhh no. Look at Texas. Southwestern Texas! That's a desert! Why do they get rain?!

It needs to rain right now

Guess what I found while I was home sick today:

That, my friends, is the one and only Pradeep Ramesh. I found his picture when I did a goole image search of "Pradeep Ramesh". I like how when you search my name you don't find a picture of me. I also found a 'poem' he wrote in Mrs. Caruso's webdesign class. It was on google, again, while searching for "Pradeep Ramesh". I archived the page here because it was in Google's cache and I wasn't sure how much longer it'd stay there.

Tue, 28 Sep 2004 15:07:12 GMT

well, I'm home sick today and I don't like it one bit. I miss Spanish and English. Missing a day of Spanish is like a day without my pops. Oh wait .. I mean missing a day of Spanish is hard because when we learn more verbes and grammar I miss it and I'm behind. And English we're having an Antigone vocab quiz which really sucks because now I'll have to make it up. Crap.

But, I did get a "Get well soon" card.

I have reason to believe I'm coming down with West Nile Feaver. I've got basicaly all but one of the symptoms. Let's see; fever, headache, tiredness, body aches, swolen lymph glands. Everything except for a skin rash on the 'trunk' of my body. Yeah .. I'm pretty much screwed. Oh wait .. aren't those the same symptoms of the flu? Crap .. oh well. No exotic diseases for me I guess.

I get Chinese cough drops tomorrow though. Awesome-sause.

Mon, 27 Sep 2004 12:53:22 GMT

Well, it looks like I'm coming down with bronchitis. I sound all weird and stuff and I can't breathe and I keep coughing. It sucks, but I'm forcing myself to go to school. It's better to not miss a day or two in my situation. So ... I guess I'll just have to suck it up. Heh. Just avoid me at school and whenever I walk by point at me and say "He's gotsts the PLAUGE!!!"

Oh yes my friends .. I feel like I've died and gone to Linux heaven.

I got Apache 2.0 running on my Windows/Linux box so now my hosted page (this one) is more secure then if it were served on just plain Windows. We all know the dangers of Windows, right?

Tux is awesome.

You know what really drives me crazy? When people make the scroll bars on their xanga/livejournal all one color. The track, the face, the sides, the arrows. How do you know where the thing to grab is then? You don't! You're left fumbling your way around litterally in the dark wondering what's going on.

Sorry .. I don't even know why I'm updating.

I proposed my idea for the school media center webpage today and they loved it so much they paid me fifty thousand doll-- oh wait. I mean they made me school WEB MASTER. How many 10th grade amateurs do you see becoming school webmasters?

The lady almost had a heart attack when I told her that I hard-coded the page in nothing more then notepad in my spare time, and the fact that I've never set foot in a webdesign class. Yeah, they looked at my HTML code and the previous "genius's" HTML code and it proves that I am clearly the superior genius.

OWNED.

How to be EMO in three easy steps

Tue, 14 Sep 2004 03:59:48 GMT

Michael's the_modestmouse most recent post got me to thinking; how hard is it to be emo? I mean, seriously. Surely there's a way to sum it up in three easy steps. Well, for your viewing pleasure, I've compiled that list of how to be emo in three easy steps. Please fell free to follow along with my step-by-step instructions:

Step one:
First of all, it's important to never smile. Smiling isn't cool anymore. It's much more attractive to be frowning and wanting. YEARNING FOR THAT SOMEONE THAT WILL COME SOME DAY. Then, you take several pictures of yourself looking away and make them your user icons because your origional expression shows off your unique atributes. Also throw in some usericons that express your solitude and wish for that 'special someone'.

Step two:
Make sure you have a 'deep' and 'thought provoking' title to your journal as to express your angst filled existance. Some great examples are;

will bury all this P A I N
and I'd give up forever to hold your hand
this is where I threw myself away

and my favorite:
..and i'll just hide away inside myself

Make sure it has some poetic meaning, it heavily uses metaphores that make no sense whatsoever, and throw logic to the wind.

Step C:
Finally, be Russian. Seriously, Russians are EMO if you think hard enough about it. And they're crazy. I mean .. c'mon. Russians are crazy; really. And EMO. Crazy EMO Communist Russians.

Examples of being Russian:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/selli/
http://www.livejournal.com/users/prosto_defka/
http://www.livejournal.com/users/kazan_love/

Anyways, I'm just kidding about Russians. Russians are cool. To an extent. Wait .. I should have used the Frech instead of Russians. Dang it ..

All that stuff in there I found by going to http://www.livejournal.com/random.bml over and over

I think I've told some of you that I was fat when I was younger and no one believed me. Well .. I found some pictures as proof.

Don't you guys know by now that I like to over exagerate things?

Wed, 08 Sep 2004 04:48:00 GMT

Dude .. girls have way too much sway in this world. They've got this power over guys that guys don't have over girls. Maybe not as much over people like me, but anyways, they do. Seriously. If a girl wants to go to the park with someone, BAM, the nearest guy says "Oh hey I love the park, I'll go". You never see it the other way. If a girl wanted to practice her make-up skills on a guy, the guy would do it. But again, it doesn't work the other way.

And then they're just plain confusing. I have to admit that that whole "men are simple creatures" is pretty much true. I think of myself as being simple. I don't need all kinds of things going on all around me like .. "outfits" or ... decorations. What ever they like. If you saw what my room looks like, you would know. It is, and I'm not even joking, a mattress (without a bed frame) a dresser, and a computer desk. The walls are plain, there's a window and a closet. You know, your basic room business. Oh but if you walk into a girl's room chances are you've just steped into a world of chaos. Dressers here and there, mirrors, makeup, stuffed animals and posters hanging from the wall, the ceiling, taped to the floor even. Elegant bed frames and what not, and closets full of thousands upon thousands of shoes. The icing on the cake would most definately have to be the bright pink walls.

This screams "I'm complex" because that's exactly what girls are. COM-PLEX. So frustrating. With their super powers and well thought-out outfits or what not.

Maybe I'm just saying all this because I'm frustrated with girls. Actually, I probably am, and I'll be frustrated until the ~~day I die~~ day I die single. I'll be the first person on E-harmony to be matched with no one. I'll be a scientific anomoly. Talked about all over the world or writen about in TIME magazine. "Anti-attractive: The story of a really unfortunate guy (who died single)" On my toombstone it will read something like "Here lies Unfortunate Guy" they wouldn't put my real name because of the conotations it would bring.

Here lies Unfortunate Guy
His great grandparents were Satanists
That's probably why he's so unlucky

the main reason we went to Missouri was to see my step-brother Scott's wedding.

it was pretty cool. Well, it was a Catholic wedding. Those can be kind of boring. It was cool all the same. This vat of holy water made up for it all though;

Everyone was happy and in good spirits and what not. It made me think about my future kind of. What will it be like getting married? Who knows but those who have experianced it already. There's always the people walking outside afterwards.

My dad's on the left here

And I promised Christine I would take a picture of my "outfit" so she could see.

So after the wedding we went to some huge flee market type place to kill time

And then we all went to a reception. The theme was kind of Japanese

and there were some candles there blueflaming it

Oh yeah, it was also when we got out of my grandma's car when I saw that it's offically l33t

We drove over the Missouri River when we went to and from the wedding. It was a two hour drive each way. Geez.

We stopped by my great grandparents' grave. I learned they were part of some group that was kind of Satanist. There's a pentagram in the bottom left hand area of their stone.

We stayed at a Motel 6 that night and then drove back to Kansas City, Missouri. It thunderstormed crazy that night. You can see the signs of it coming here

I taped a little of the insanity on this mpg file.

So then we left for the Airport. I thought I'd fire up Knoppix and Kismet for fun.

When we got to the airport I was able to bypass the security on this computer to read my livejournal friends page. It was supposed to be just CNBC aka liberal propoganda. Oh man! I should have gone to Maddox and just left it. How awesome would that have been?

And this guy needed to be arrested for indecent exposure.

I got a little trigger happy at the end of the trip. 9 pictures from the plane.

One of those shows some weird dots on the ground. What was that all about? And the last one shows the back of this plane that looked like it had a sphincter (Definition)

There's two last pictures. First this one of some writing I was just kind of curious to know if anyone could tell me what it ment.

and then me being "pensive". I usually don't post pictures of me so I thought I'd break the mold and post two.

School tomorrow. Errr .. so tired.

Mon, 06 Sep 2004 01:08:49 GMT

My friends, I am in Kansas on the Missouri/Kansas state line. I've got tons of pictures from my trip and what not, but I haven't uploaded them yet and I won't post them until I get back. Which reminds me;

Could all you people who are in my classes please tell me what homework we got on Friday and, in detail if necessary, explain to me what happened during class? Thanks have been given.

Oh yeah, I finished Brave New World. It had no plot, seriously. It's a bunch of liberal propoganda. My grandfather's life story would have less corruption then this single 150 page book does. I guess you wouldn't really be able to connect the dots though because .. none of you know my grandpa. Just assume whatever I guess.
