Got Into A Fight With Zymic

This Is The Story Of How I Got Into A Fight With Zymic...


Anyways, today I was planning to work on transferring the files from my other DarkCraft site to a new domain, which was hosted under Zymic, but something happened. Apparently, Zymic was in yet ANOTHER downtime. It's like their FTP is down every five days (whether it's "unscheduled" or "scheduled") and it seems like their servers are down most of the time. It's starting to get really annoying and buggy. Anyways, this is what I did. I went to the Zymic IRC chat to complain to the customer service and they started saying things like, "You are allowed to leave whenever you want, you don't have to stay." and things like that, but I stayed until the servers were up again. Anyways, we (a bunch of other unsatisfied customers and I) started complaining and questioning what was behind all the downtime. I mean, Zymic never told us what were behind all the downtime, so rumors have spread that Zymic only had one server (when they claimed to have quite a lot) and that the server couldn't handle that many sites. So we kept on questioning the customer service. Eventually, the admins kicked out a few of the "rioters". I kept my language careful and not to say anything nasty to them, otherwise I would be kicked. One guy did advertise another site that he claimed could provide better hosting and he got kicked. Anyways, there went to a point when I was the only rioter left and I did something that would get me kicked. I said, "Zymic has like a downtime every five days". And then an admin said that Zymic had not had one downtime excluding the one today in the past ten months. I said, "You want to bet?" and I went to their Twitter account. I started copying and pasting the tweets that announced downtime. I entered in loads of tweets with the downtime and around the fifth one, they muted me and then kicked me. If you want to check out all their downtime, then just go here and read all of them. That's my story. It's a conspiracy theory.

The New Series Coming Well


If you haven't heard the latest news, DarkCraft's first series will be coming and airing on YouTube on New Year's Day. It's currently called The Road To The Ender Land, but may change in the period of time that we have left before we start. It's going to be a complete document of DarkCraft's adventures through Minecraft to the end of the game (which was introduced in 1.0.0!). We're currently working on problems we're having. Anyways, we will be expecting six people to play, those people to be Jonathan, Gordon, Gary, Angelo, Vincent and I. Go The Road To The Ender Land!

Getting Less Tired


Over the past few weeks, I have been very tired lately. Ever since then, I have been taking naps, sleeping earlier, sleeping in on weekends and on weekdays when I can and more. It seems to working as now I am paying more attention in school and... Well, I'm just less tired. My left ring finger (the one I hurt while playing a variation of European Handball) is still hurting, but is better (or so it seems...). I consider myself to be in good shape, but I think I need to start doing my workouts again.

School Has Been Good...


I think I'm doing better in school now and I'm catching up and keeping up with my homework. I should really start updating most of my sites (although I only have one major one (which is this one) right now) to keep myself preoccupied. Anyways, it turns out that people just haven't been visiting because I didn't post last week, but today about 30 people had visited in just a span of one day, so I'm happy. Thanks for reading, have a Snoopy day and I'll see you in the next post!

Oh Yah!


Have you noticed the new design?

Nobody's Visiting Anymore

What's Wrong With My Blog?!


I've been stuck at the 1040 viewers range for a while now and I'm starting to wonder if anybody really likes my blog. What is it?! Is it that I'm too boring and I drag on messages like this. Like this. Like this. Like this. Like this. Like this. Like this. Is it?! Or is it just that nobody has any time to visit my blog anymore? I dunno. But I'm going to try some "advertising" (hehehe) and maybe that will attract some permanent viewers. For now though, I'm going to make this blog a lot more exciting.

Maybe I'll Change It, Maybe I Won't


Maybe it's the design of the page... Should I change the background? It's been there for like... Errrr... About 29 days I guess. So I'll probably just change the background and the colors of the blog (maybe even the layout, but I usually spend a long time doing this stuff) and that will be that.

Canucks Today


Today I cannot watch the Canucks game (because my family at the Vancouver house switched to Telus and we didn't keep Sportsnet...). Anyways, I'll be listening to the game (although there's still a while until the game starts) today and hopefully we'll win. I also remembered to select my roster for today's game (although the fantasy draft thing was messed up and said we had a game against the Flames when it was really the Jackets), so that means points!

Well, Gotta Go Do My Math... Haikus... Errr... And My Socials


I just listed my homework for today (I usually like doing my homework around 6:00) and I'm going to get started on that. I'm not sure if I already told you guys or not (probably not because nobody even visited my blog...), but I've decided just to try and apply for Transition and if I do get accepted, I'll just decline and go to Burnaby North (too far away from Tech...). I'll just try Transition for the fun of it, but oh well. I guess I probably wouldn't be good enough to make it. See you next post!

My Finger Hurts

Today My Finger Hurts Like... FUDGE


In P.E today, my class was playing a variation of European Handball, except the goal of the game was to try and knock over one of three pins that were placed in a corner of the gym. So there would be three pins in one corner and at the other side, there would be three pins at the other corner. Anyways, players were only allowed to take three steps (a lot of three's in this paragraph) and then were forced to pass or take a shot. Anyways. Here's how I hurt my finger. Somebody was trying to shoot the ball at one of the pins (the person was like right next to the crease) and I blocked it with my finger. My ring finger (so the one beside the pinky). So now it's affecting how I type and that type of stuff... It still hurts and... Well. Maybe I should get it checked out by a doctor if it still hurts after tomorrow.

Today Was A Huge Day


Movember 28, 2011 Monday was a really big day for me. There were quite a few things packed onto this day. First of all, I had to go to the UBC Transition info session (which bored me out of my mind). I listened to the stories of graduates and current members of the program and now, I don't really want to go to Transition. The speakers made me realize that if I did go to Transition, I would miss a lot of fun stuff in high school. So I probably won't go. But if high school isn't enough of a challenge for me, I might try out for Transition. Anyways, I will apply for the program to see if I can even get in, but for now, seems like I'll be going to high school. I really want to play in a sports team and... Well, go to a prom and that stuff. I dunno. Just be a high school student. I also had to hand in a project on Sesame Street (got it done a while after school) and... Well. Today just seemed like a really filled day.

Still Got A Lot Of Homework To Do


I feel comfortable blogging now and I'm going to start blogging about more things (although I will not blog about everything =P). Today was a... Ehhh... day and... Well. I just have to go. My mom's home and I'm going to go now. Thanks for reading, subscribe to my blog, keep on visiting and I'll see you in the next post!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today Was My Grandma's Birthday


Yes, today was my grandma's birthday. She turned 84 or something today. And the whole family had a nice lunch and it was pretty yummy. Errr... There's nothing else to say about this topic, so I'm just going to go onto the next one.

You Like Survival?


Are you a fan of survival games? Do you like pretending that you're stuck out in the wild with nothing but your wits? Well then here's a game that you should try. It's called Union City: The Last Stand. It's an epic zombie survival (and it's pretty gruesome) game and you should really try it out. You'll spend quite a few hours on the game because it's epic fun and it's pretty scary. It has a brilliant story line and in game quests that you don't have to complete (unless it's directly referring into the story line). You start off the game in some sort of car crash and from there, you immediately start search for your wife, Beth (or something...). Along the way, you find other survivors and they join you. You have to keep track of your weaponry, food and water and your sleep to insure your survival. When you finally find the stadium, where are the survivors and HERC are, you can't find your wife! She's been "relocated". So now you set off to find her in another quarantine. The adventure continues for a little while, but then the game ends extremely lamely.

Go Lions!


This is the first time I've talked about the Lions in my blog, but here I go. Anyways, the Lions are currently playing against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers in the 99th Grey Cup. It's turned Vancouver into a football frenzy and everybody's rooting for the home boys (they're playing in BC Stadium). Anyways, they currently have a 31 - 9 lead against the Bombers and I'm pretty sure they're going to win (there's about 5:00 left in the fourth quarter). Go Lions!

I'm Going To Play Minecraft


My friend Jonathan finally turned on the 1.7.3 server, so I can go play with him. Don't want to keep him waiting. See you next time! Thanks for reading, subscribe and whatever!

I Don't Really Know What To Call Any Of My Posts

I Seriously Don't...


Most of the posts that I put up usually don't really have a title that actually puts a... I dunno how to say this... Let's just say that I'm bad at making up names for my blog posts. So. I dunno. I just don't know how to make up good names for posts.

Anyways, Today I Went Swimming... Again


Every Saturday I'm supposed to go swimming and if you don't know, today is Saturday. So I just finished going swimming about an hour ago and it was pretty fun for once. So next time, I might actually kind of look forward to it...

There's Nothing Else I Really Have To Say To You Guys Now...


It's pretty early in the day and nothing really has happened to me that has been very eventful, so I'm going to "end" the post for now. Thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you guys next time.

Putting Up Some Links Because... Well... Just Read...


My bookmarks bar is getting really cluttered with links that I need, so I'm going to fill up the cool links page with some links that you guys might not really like...

Sorry About The Long Streak Without Posts

I'm On A PROGRAM...


As most of you guys know, I'm kind of on a program where I cannot use the computer on weekdays (excluding today because today I don't have school =P). I decided to do this for my own good and so far it's been working... Well. Or... Swell I guess. I dunno. But that's why I have been unable to post anything since my birthday. Anyways, I was supposed to post around 10:30PM every night, but somehow, I always seemed to have went right to sleep right when I got home. I'll explain why.

I'm Also On A Sleeping PROGRAM...


Lately, I've been feeling tired. It's come to point that I've been yawning in class, not wanting to go to volleyball practices and even wishing that school would end already. So I've decided to take naps (I used to, but quit a while ago) after school and that seems to work pretty well. Except that when I take naps, I don't get my homework done. So. That means that I have to stay up all night to do my homework, which kind of counters my sleeping program. So I'm going to start having timed sleeps instead of just sleeping from around 4:00PM to 7:00PM (I seriously do).

I Found My Watch


Yes, I found it for the like... the hundredth time. I was getting worried that my watch would never be found and was actually ready to move on, but I guess that it was just in the glove department in my mom's car. Luckily for me, I had set an alarm for 11:11PM (I celebrate something called Eleven Eleven) and it just so happened that my mom picked my brother and I up later that night. So it rang it's alarm and I found it. And for those who are wondering what Eleven Eleven is, read on.

Ah. Eleven Eleven


Everyday, there are only two times when the the clock's four digits all read one number. 11:11AM and 11:11PM. The AM one I miss because I am at school, so I usually celebrate at PM. So here's how I celebrate (I also celebrate with my brother). Once the clock reads 11:11, then my brother and I go into a crazy song that has different lyrics almost all the time. But they go usually something like this, "Eleven eleven, Kevin's 11 (which doesn't work anymore, since I turned 12 a while ago), going to Seven Eleven" and basically random stuff and things that rhyme with eleven. So if you want to give it a try, then do so. I would recommend it. Put a little fun into your life.

A Lot Of Homework


There's lately been a lot of stress on me, with the entry of secondary school, programs and homework and I feel that I can't really handle it all by myself. But here are the top things that are totally stressing my mind out right now.
- A Short History Of Sesame Street (a project due next Monday)
- UBC Transition (which I will talk about soon)
- other programs (mini school, that stuff...)

The first thing I can get out of my mind soon, but the UBC Transition info session is probably the biggest. Also the pressure for me to apply for other high schools just in case I won't make UBC Transition (which truthfully, I probably won't).

I Have To Go Now


I have to go, so thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you next post.

November 20, 2011

Happy Birthday Kevin!

I Just Had Cake


I just finished eating the cake (I hope my wish comes true =P) and somehow, the topic of poo got into the conversation going on between me and my parents (along with my grandma). I think first I started talking about how I could do more things as a twelve year old, then I said that I would be able to drive in four years, then I said that I would be able to get my first job and then finally my dad told me his first job. Which he still remembers. He was a person who made fertilizer. In China. And oh no, fertilizer doesn't come from a bunch of organics and what we use in Canada. Oh no. Fertilizer was made out of cow poo. Then he started talking about the steps and all that. And uhhh. God. It was just horrible. And I was eating a chocolate cake.

New Computer =P


My dad's going to get me a new computer (thanks dad =P) later in the year (doesn't want to get it right now) and I'm pretty psyched. I've always needed a new one and that means that my brother and I won't need to always fight everyday for the computer. There are a few things that I need right now:
-a new computer
-a new USB (mine is all bent up, but it still works =P)
-a new watch

I have no idea what happened to my watch. And I don't really need all that stuff, but it would be nice to have. Oh well.

I Want To Watch The Walking Dead


I didn't get a chance to catch today's brand new episode of The Walking Dead (season two episode six!), so I'm going to go now. Thanks for reading, subscribe, Happy Birthday to myself and I'll see you next post!

Kevin Reads An Angry Survey Entry To Iams

I Submitted A Survey To Iams...

And I included some stuff inside there. At the end of the survey, they asked me what I would to improve the site. And this is what I said.

Dear Iams.
STOP.
You are making a ridiculous site that doesn't even work for pets.
There is no need an about us page, because nobody wants a page that doesn't talk about dogs or cats.
Searches? No. Just No.
Dogs and cats only for adoption? NOOOOOOOOOO!
Distracting slideshows on the homepage? FUDGE!

Now, now. Before you get mad at me, I know how hard it is to make sites. I made two all by myself.

And that's basically what I said (well, I didn't actually submit that...). Onto the next topic!

Tomorrow's My Birthday


Tomorrow is my birthday and I'm really excited. I'll go back to school as a 12 year old instead of an 11 year old and I think I'll like the change. This means that I can finally sit in the front seat (although I always did for the past few months). Nothing else really marks this age, besides the front seat thing. Just wait a second while I go look it up. WOAH. There's a whole list of what I can do. I can consent my own adoption, make a will, see a 12A film, rent or buy a 12 certificate film, apply to the Child Support Agency for a maintenance payments from an absent parent, register as an organ donor and be a subject of a Antisocial Behavior Order. But I don't only have pros with the age. I also have cons. I have to now pay full fares on flights, but I will be presumed old enough to express views for future arrangements for my care, instruct a lawyer in a civil matter, access personal records and make a freedom of information request from a public authority.

Sleep. Sleep. Sleep.


Yesterday I didn't get much sleep (just a brief snooze from 4:00 - 7:00AM), but I'm still awake. Anyways, I'm going to go to sleep now, so thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll see you tomorrow!

Sorry About Yesterday

So Yah... You Didn't Get A Post Yesterday


Yesterday I feel asleep at my house in Vancouver and when my parents came to pick me up, I was drowsy. So what do I do when I get home? I go right to sleep. So sorry about no post yesterday, I've noticed that there have been like 30 visits to the blog since two days ago, so I'm really sorry. Anyways, hopefully you'll forgive me and we'll be able to continue on with the rest of the post.

Oh, There Wasn't A Canucks Game Today...


Ever since the lost against Chicago, I've been awaiting another Canucks game to see them own NHL butt. But I guess it hasn't come yet. I thought we were playing a game today (... Against.... Errr.... I dunno), but it looks like the Canucks aren't. The next game for the Canucks are against the Senators (first of the season against them) and it's on my birthday. So they better win. Or else. No, I'm just kidding. Or am I?

Occupy Vancouver


Today I went to Orpheum in the downtown Vancouver to hear the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra play some songs. But that wasn't really the hi light of the day. It was the class visit to the Occupy Vancouver site located just outside the Vancouver Art Gallery (which I just so happen to be going to in a few days). There was a guy named Jude (who I felt was kind of the leader or something) who I once saw on the news and he gave us a speech and let us ask questions about what they did, where they got their resources and supplies and more. The camp seemed dark and wet (because it was) and it made it seem poor. But that's not the truth. The camp was great. People there were friendly (we got to hi five a two people a few times) and the camp was glowing with will to, well, occupy Vancouver. Today's visit to the site inspired me to maybe also go out to the site and camp along with them. But I'm a minor in the city and they won't let me. And my parents probably wouldn't. Maybe I'll be there another year.

The Orpheum


Although the Orpheum wasn't the most exciting thing in my life, it was a pretty fun trip. The music was epic and the carvings on the wall and ceiling were also epic. Joshua and I kept on cracking up jokes on how fancy the place was, like saying, "OHHH! Look! There's even red carpet here!" and exclaiming how the bathroom was so big and how it was so clean that you could live inside there (it was pretty sweet). Anyways, the trip was fun and I would like to go there another day (and maybe even play there =P).

That's It For Today


I have to go now, so I'll just make a short ending. Thanks for reading, subscribe and I'll definitely see you tomorrow.




November 16, 2011

Some Stuff...

Just An Overview Of Today

Today, I played volleyball and got a few things done. In volleyball, both Begbie teams lost three games (wow, we're doing poor...) and won one game. I was in team A and we won ours against Nelson. Anyways, today was also a pissing day. Let me explain.

Why It's A Pissing Day

Well, first of all, after volleyball, I was waiting at the school. The school had closed and we were locked out and everybody was leaving. So what was I supposed to do? My aunt wasn't coming to pick me up and it was much too dark to just wait there, let alone walk home by myself along with my brother. So I tagged along with my friends (it's called walk pooling). I ended up waiting at my friend Kito's house for somebody to pick me up. Then around 6:00PM, my grandma called back (to my numerous calls) and she started yelling at me for not waiting for her at the school (although I feel bad for making her walk all the way). So I got pretty pissed. Anyways. What am I supposed to do? I have no phone (makes me regret not asking for one...) and... Well, as I said. What was I supposed to do?

I'm Still Missing My Watch

I really can't find my watch (although I think I'm hot on the trail of it). I really miss it and I need it this weekend to time the DarkCraft team (YouTube only allows a limit of 15 minutes...). Why won't you come back watch?!

Why Canucks?! Really?! 5 - 1?!

Yah, yah, laugh all you want non Canuck fans. We may have lost this game, but we'll win next time. For those who do not what I am referring to, I am referring to today's game against the Chicago Blackhawks. We lost. Epic time. 5 - 1?! Really? I can't believe it... Oh well. Maybe the Canucks will... I dunno, turn a new leaf or whatever that saying is.

My, This Is Getting Long (But Here's The Next Topic)

I hate to admit it, but I have computer problems. I use the computer like all day. And I literally mean all day. So I've been on a "program". I haven't played (or used in fact) the computer for the rest of the day after school for the last two days. Two days. Let's try to make that three (I put aside a few minutes to type out my blog posts around 10:30PM for you guys though). I think next week I'll go back to computers... Or maybe not. I'm purposely "forgetting" my computer at my Burnaby house, but if I need to use the computer one day... Maybe I'll just bring it over just in case. Not for anything like socializing or anything, but just in case.

I Want A Dog =P

I just remembered that my birthday is a few days from now. Tomorrow, it will only be three days away. Isn't that cool? A lot of people (in my family) have asked what I want for my birthday, but I know they can't get the things that I want. Because the things I want are ownage. And I mean it.
- an ownage dog
- an ownage cello
- an ownage computer
- an ownage development team
- an ownage house
- an ownage watch (unless I find my watch...)
And that's basically it. No. I'm just kidding. That's not what I really want for my birthday. I just want world peace. But that makes me sound like some sort of person who is nice and all good (which I'm sure is not true). But I don't want to be completely greedy and say, "I want an ownage parrot, an ownage pony, an ownage barbie girl with awesome retractable sunglasses.". So what do I say? I dunno. I guess I just would like a good computer. Oh well.

You Guys Taunting Me Or What?

Yes. I am currently on the verge of a breakdown. I've got 952 visitors. Please just visit like 48 more times and get me over 1000 views. That would be epic guys. And, this is... Post number 56. Only 44 more posts (so 44 more days) until I hit 100 posts. So that's means I'm averaging more than 10 views per post (I think I've told you this already). Anyways, keep on visiting, but this isn't the end of this post.

So What? Is It Just Me... Or Is It True?

Wha...? What's true? Oh. Sorry. I was getting sleepy. Anyways. People have been saying that my voice has been getting lower (well, I'm exaggerating, but you get the point). Am I going through that stage of life (you realize that this topic is just for your amusement and embarrassing of mine and in no way do I believe that I am going through puberty)? Oh well. Who cares. Your voice gets higher again. Right? No. I'm just kidding. Anyways, I am getting really worried. I can't really sing anymore (not that I really was a good singer) or even hum tunes that I like. That reminds me of something.

... Fine. This Will Be The End

I really can't find anymore topics to talk about (I was purposely stalling you), so I'm just going to go. See you guys next time, thanks for visiting, subscribe, hope I don't mentally break down and... Well. Yah. See you!




November 15, 2011

No! I Can't Find My Watch!

Wow... I Just Lost All My "Saved" Stuff


I just wrote a boatload of text and Blogger said it "SAVED" it, but it didn't. So now I'll just shorten it all up for you. I lost my watch for what seems to be like the... I dunno. 100th time? I told the story of how I became a cello (just ask Phillip or Gordon for that) and... Err... That's it. See you guys next time. Sorry for the skimpy post (I'll make up for it tomorrow), but I'm tired and I don't want to retype all that. Thanks for reading and subscribe!

Breaking The 900 Barrier

I've Totaled Up For 907 Views (Well, At Least For Now)

I currently (as of Movember 13, 2011 Sunday 10:02) have 907 views for my blog and that's really exciting. I'm averaging it up to about 18 views per post and that's pretty good. I just want to thank you guys for visiting my blog and I'll try to make it better for future viewers.

Surrey, I Came And I Was Bored

Today I went to Surrey to "help" my dad. I had nothing to do there (and like any computer nerd, I brought over my laptop) and I worked on a project for a while (and I don't mean school project =P). Anyways, today was... Eh... Sort of fun. There's one thing that I'm really looking forward to today now though. Read on.

The Walking Dead: Chupacaba

I'm really excited as today is the release of episode five, season two of The Walking Dead! I really can't wait to watch it as I have been waiting such a long time (actually just about a week) to watch it. Can't wait.

Life Gives You Lemons, You Take A Shower

Well, I have to go take a shower now. After that I'll be sure to watch it and I'll see you next time! Thanks for reading, my dad's getting mad at me and subscribe!

Glee Mania

Watched A Lot Of Glee Episodes Today


For those who have watched Glee, I have to say that I'm confused. I just finished watching episode 12 of season two and I'm really really confused. I have no idea what the episodes 10, 11 and 12 meant. First of all (for all those who watch Glee, read and for all those that don't watch Glee, just skip), Rachel breaks up with Finn, but then wants him back and then later on Finn wants Rachel back, but finds out that Rachel was making out with somebody. So... What? Are they still together? They are supposed to be the core couple in Glee. I really hope they get back together. It's not fun watching them ignore each other. In the end though, Rachel wants Finn back, but Finn doesn't think he can forgive her. Second of all. Is the Glee club now popular? I mean, I'm really questioning why Glee doesn't become popular anymore and is still kind of the lowest life form in the high school food chain. Glee's done a lot of cool stuff (preformed Toxic by Brittney Spears one time and the half time show at the football championship and that stuff) and yet the club's still being slushied by people. And last, but not least, Quin likes Finn again? Weren't Quin and Sam dating? Makes me really confused since Quin (spoiler alert coming up) kissed Finn at the end of episode 12.

Shutting Down The UnderWorld


I haven't really talked about The UnderWorld lately and it's because I'm shutting it down. It's become a real bother in the behind to manage the whole site by myself. Frankly, just completely a lame and plain flash map is not running a multiplayer browser game (what Benson probably thinks). For these reasons (and because I don't have a team of dedicated web developers), I will be shutting down The UnderWorld. I hate to admit it, but Winston, you were right.

Taking A Break From Websites


I've always like to work on websites, but I now find them sort of like a bother. I haven't really done anything big like TheDailyNews24 (long time I haven't typed that out) or The UnderWorld. I guess I'm just shifting from websites and web development to actual computer programming. The first step into computer programming has been creating a Minecraft server (although static IP addresses and port forwarding are kind of closely linked to websites) and I'm done that project. Maybe one day I'll do something big like invent a browser or a operating system. Who knows?

Well, That's It, I Guess I'll Play Minecraft


I'm getting really bored now (like the picture?) and I think I'l go play some Minecraft. See you later dudes!

Ships In The Night

Remembrance Day


Today is Remembrance Day, a day where we remember, commemorate and respect those that fought for their homelands in the world wars. We show our support for Remembrance Day by wearing the worldwide symbol of remembrance, the poppy. Take a few minutes of your time and remember those that fought for us. It's only just a pittance of time, as our friend Terry Kelly would say.

My Mom's Birthday


My mom has the weird trait of having her birthday on the same date as Remembrance Day and Leonardo Dicaprio (I found out like two months ago). Nevertheless, we still celebrate her birthday yearly, as any good family would do. I just finished having a brilliant hot pot (at home) and I'm really full. Today was a pretty fun day. I got to play on my server with my friends for a little bit and today was overall, a good day. Happy birthday mom!

NOW I Explain The Title


The title of this post is Ships In The Night. Why? It's because of a really cool song that I heard recently. I want to share it with you.


Looking For That Program...


Lately (ever since last week's DarkCraft server fail) I've been looking for a recording program that can record a selected part of my computer screen. Some really close ones I tried out were CamStudio and some other foreign (it wasn't really foreign =P) program. I finally ended up getting FRAPS cracked (the team made me...) and that worked... Alright. Anyways, I've got the whole day planned out for tomorrow. Hopefully it won't be as such as the fail that occurred last week.

Well... I Have To Go...


This post was actually started at 11:50, but the blog will say that it was posted on Movember 12, 2011. Oh well. I have to go, so thanks for reading and I'll see you next time!

Some Boring Days

Nothing Really Fun Has Happened To Me Lately...


Yes, nothing exciting or great has happened to me in the past few days. It seems like it was supposed to be boring for me these last few days, but I'll try to make the best out of what I have for you guys.

I Took My Relationship Up A Step


Today, after I finished watching my "special" friend play some volleyball, I dragged her away to talk with her (I won't disclose any details =P). I had heard some rumors lately and I wasn't sure if they were true or not. So I had a talk with her (which ended up positively) and I was completely faithful to her again (the rumors seemed to really be true...). Today was a kind of important day for our relationship and I hope that it is for her too.

The Walking Dead... Why Won't You Come Out?!


Anyways, as most of you guys know, I love to watch The Walking Dead. I'm currently thrilled about the brand new season (season two) and I'm waiting for episode five of season two right now. Unfortunately, it's coming out on Movember 13 and I have to wait... Oh well. Go The Walking Dead!

My Mom's Birthday Tomorrow!


It's my mom's birthday tomorrow! Wait?! Isn't Remembrance Day tomorrow too? I guess it's kind of weird to celebrate my mom's birthday on a day when soldiers are respected, but I guess it's alright at the same time. Anyways, tomorrow I'm going to hot pot with my mom and I have a feeling it's going to be a great day tomorrow.

Looks Like I Had SOME Things To Talk About =P


I'm looking back at this post and it seems like I at least had a few things to show you guys and be all excited about. I tried to include some pictures in this post (I haven't really shown any lately) and... Well, yah. That's basically what I have to say. I'm listening to the Canucks game (I can't watch) and we just won 3 - 2 against the LA Kings and... Well... Schneider is in net tomorrow. That reminds me. I'm just going to quickly write about some stuff.

Luongo Or Schneider?


I'm a really great Canucks fan and I love to watch (or listen) to a Canucks game. Lately though, Luongo's kind of lost his grip and I... I just like Schneider a lot more right now. Now. I don't really want to sound like a hockey guy (because I'm not), but I have to say that Schneider's younger, has more potential (Luono's definitely retiring before Schneider) and is currently playing better. Anyways, I have to go, so I'll see you next post. Thanks for reading, like or subscribe and I'll... I'll go home to sleep...

I Don't Know What To Call This...

Volleyball Games Today


Today I played what is the last week of volleyball before the games counted. But we did horribly. We lost all but one game (which we won like 44 - 17 though), yet we learned important skills. We didn't talk and call outs and help out enough (which we dominated at in the last game) in the games, but it was fun. For the next three weeks, games will count, so... Yah... We need to play our best.

BPL (BannaPieLord)


Yesterday, my friend Gordon showed me this really cool guy. His YouTube name is BannaPieLord (people call him BPL sometimes) and he makes wicked music. Not all of his songs have lyrics though (although the songs would rock with lyrics), but he's worth a look.

That's All I've Got Today Dude (Or Dudet)...


I really don't have anything else to talk about now. The only reason I'm not playing on my friend's server is because he has to go eat and then he has to go to a thing for a summit program thing. I dunno. Anyways. Thanks for reading, I hope you've enjoyed, stay tuned and I'll see you next time.

One Of Those Special Posts

This Is A Special Post


Today I have decided to give an overview of my life. I really like doing this every month or two months so I can look back at my life and see what it was like for me without reading numerous posts. Anyways, here I go. You can find these overviews of life in my new label, Overviews Of Life (of course =P). So without further procrastination, I will give you the first overview of my life.

Life Is... Good


Now, I dunno if people have just all of the sudden taken up a habit of asking each other, "How's life?" all the time, but that's what has happened to me. People like to often start up an online conversation (and sometimes the odd life conversation) by asking, "How's life?". It's kind of... cool I guess, but the tittle of this certain sub topic just reminds me of this. Anyways, life is pretty darn close to perfect I guess. There's nothing really wrong with life and there's nothing really exceedingly good about life. It's just... Normal. Schoolwork isn't a problem for me and I really like life now. My life wasn't like this before, but this is much better. Much better.

I'm Going To Miss Everybody


I live in Burnaby and my parents find it impossible to believe that I can get to Vancouver Technical. I would really want to walk there all the way and all that stuff, but my parents won't let me. So I guess I'm stuck going to a school in Burnaby and I really only have two possible choices. Alpha (I don't really want to go there) and Burnaby North. I find it hard to believe that in less than a year I will not be able to see any of my friends anymore. Man... I'm all down now.

Minecraft 1.7.3 Server Is Up


Anyways, today Jonathan ran a 1.7.3 server (thanks to me) and I was extremely happy that we could all play together on the weekdays and weekends now, 1.7.3 or 1.8.1. I played a bit on it, but it was incredibly laggy. I couldn't believe the lag. The messages were sent like 10 seconds after initially typed and... It was just horrible. The server is up and running nevertheless and I'm having fun on it.

Thanks For Reading This Post


I've added a few links to the Cool Links page and I think you should go check them out. Anyways, I will promise to have more entries into my blog giving an overall look at my life and that stuff, but for now, I have to go to Burnaby. I really have to go, so I'm going to end this entry. Thanks for reading and I'll see you next time. Oh yes! Don't forget to subscribe!

DarkCraft Server's Up And Running And More

Yesterday Was An Awesome Day


I finally fixed my Minecraft server yesterday and by about 6:00 PM, it was up and running, getting ready to be played. We were way off schedule (the server was supposed to start at 5:00 PM), but we still had fun. The whole team (Jonathan, Gary, Gordon and I) had to get Skype (Gordon and Gary already had Skype) so we could talk. The recording program I used was a really bad one and all the footage that we got was lost. So what did we do on the server? Well, the first thing we did was play a Minecraft Lost adventure map. The map was based on the television series, Lost and it was really fun. We got sidetracked though and ended up with TNT. You could say that the ending was explosive. Anyways, after that we just looked for maps and we finally ended up with a map called Darkness Survival around 9:00 PM. But pretty soon after Jonathan got on, he had to go and I was left in the dark all by myself. Anyways, it was really fun and I can't wait for next week (because I can only play on the server on weekends). You can check out a really quick site I made for the server here.

Sorry About Yesterday


I'm really sorry that I didn't get to get a post up yesterday, but I'll try and make it up to you. I will post, everyday from now on for the rest of... Errr... Let's just say until I stop this blog. And if I don't... I dunno. I'll just won't miss a day.

Canucks Pull Up A 6 - 2 Win Against The Hawks


Anyways, if you weren't watching the game yesterday (which I was not...), then I'll just tell you that the final score is 6 - 2. The Canucks played a great game and I'm really happy they won. Their next will be against the LA Kings this Thursday. Go Canucks!

Nothing Else To Talk About


Well, it's getting late, so I think I'm going to turn in for the night. I really appreciate the people that take their time to read my blog and I thank you so for that. Anyways, I hope you'll tune in tomorrow (I haven't forgotten yet =P) for the next post. Bye!

Errr... I Dunno What To Call This

Teaching A Little Girl How To Use Scissors =D


Hey there! Anyways, a few days ago (on Halloween), I was running a special arts and craft station for a load of little kids (basically everybody in grade on at Begbie). My job was to teach little kids how to create some cool pumpkin things out of some orange paper, some black strips of paper, some green crayons, some scissors and some glue sticks. Anyways, about halfway through the station, a little girl comes up to the station and I ask her, "Do you want to make a pumpkin?". And she nods yes. She didn't really talk and I never did find out her name. Anyways, she was pretty little (all kids in grade one are little to me) and she was dressed up as a fairy. Back to the story though. So I told her some instructions and left her to start. About half a minute later, I realized that she wasn't really doing anything. So I asked her, "Do you know what to do?" and she nods no. So I explained that she was supposed to cut out the pre drawn pumpkin shaped thing on the piece of orange paper I handed out to everybody and then blah blah blah. Eventually, I realize that she didn't know how to use scissors and I asked her, "Do you know how to use scissors?". To my amazement, she nods no and then I take up the task of teaching her while my two other friends who were running the station too (Joshua and Brian) took over the station. So I asked her, "Do you know how to hold scissors?". She nods no (I asked so many questions =P). So I take hold of the scissors and teach her the right way to hold them and started cutting part of the pumpkin out for her. Pretty soon she got the hang of it and it was just felt... Really special that I got a chance to teach somebody something they would use for the rest of their life. It made me feel like I was a permanent part of their life. And that's probably why I felt great. Anyways, when she started cutting out the top part of the pumpkin, she held the scissors wrong and I taught her that she could turn the paper upside down in order to maintain the hand position. Anyways, the whole day was great and I had loads of fun running the station.

Errr... I Have To Go


I'm just reading back what I wrote in the last topic and I realized that I just gave you a wall of text to read... So I'm going to stop the post right here and just cram everything that I was about to say into a few sentences. The Minecraft server is going alright and the group has agreed to make the server so that it is a 1.7 server. Errr... That's it. Okay. I'll see you next post, but for now, thanks for reading, subscribe or do whatever.

RLS and ADHD


This topic was posted at like 9:23, but here goes. I've always thought about why I always move my leg. And when I mean move my leg, I mean like just like bouncing it up and down on a point. It's weird and when I ever get the urge to do it, I always do. I've tried to stop it, but it makes my legs feel uncomfortable. So my friend said I have ADHD, but I kind of think that I have ADHD and RLS. You can read about ADHD here and RLS here.

A Really Fun Day At School

Today Was Awesome


Today was a great day. I had a lot of fun in the morning rushing to try and finish my endangered species project and the rest of the day was great. Here's what went down today.

The Project... DUN DUN DUN


Anyways, today my group's endangered species project (our animal was the White Tiger) was due and we hadn't even started getting the stuff onto the poster board. So Angleo and I hurried up and we started getting everything printed out, the construction paper for a background for each paragraph and a lot more. We had finished a lot of work when the bell rang (I had to skip volleyball practice) and got everything printed out and all the supplies. And then we noticed. Our poster board was gone... It was gone! Somebody must have took it when we were in the lab or getting supplies. So then Angleo went downstairs to get another poster board (this was all after class started) and he came back with a huge poster board. Way bigger than the one we were supposed to use. And it had footprints and streaks of colour in random places on both sides. But we had to work with it. So we covered up the footprints and dirty stuff and we ended up with a great final product.

I Think I Lost A Few Brain Cells


So, at recess today, my friend Joshua (and he has a wicked kick) sent a soccer ball flying straight at my head. So I swayed around for a while and then I kept on getting dizzy. It wasn't anything serious, but it still hurt... But luckily I didn't lose a serious amount of brain cells. I still know that 5 + 5 is 100. Right?

Water Painting Time!


Today we had to make a portrait of a friend for art. Except we had to do it without looking at the paper and without taking the pencil off the paper. It was really funny to do and it was great. After a few test runs, I got the hang of it (my partner was Phillip) and pretty soon I was onto my good copy (which looked better). I got my water paint (excuse me, it should be colours) and then I started filling in my picture with brilliant colours. Halfway through the painting, there was a fire drill and outside I learned that Mr. Rowland wanted to redo this whole art thing next week because the water paint was taking out the detail (in my eyes, funniness) of the portrait. Oh well.

Errr... That's It


I don't really have anything about school to talk about anymore, so I'll just head onto the next topic.

Minecraft Server!


Today I was playing some adventure map games (they were all boring) and then I realized something. The maps weren't boring. It was the fact that I was playing by myself. Any map will be fun with a friend (unless it's really lame). So then that inspired me even more to make a Minecraft server. I'm currently working with my friends Gordon, Gary and Jonathan to create a server that works for 1.8, but first of all, they're working on getting me Minecraft 1.8. I'll be back with this later.

That's It For Today


I don't really have anthing else to talk about todya, so I'll just go away and start... Doing... My work... I guess. Thanks for reading, subscribe or whatever. I'll see you next time!

Movember's Here!

Yep, It Is!


Although my blog date doesn't say it, it's actually Movember 3, 2011 Thursday. Movember is basically November, but with a M instead of a N. The M stands for mustache and Movember is a month when men all over the world stop shaving and let their mustaches grow in order to raise awareness of pancreas cancer, which kills a lot of men. Breast cancer month is October, so it's just fitting to have pancreas cancer month right after October. I don't think any of the grade sevens are old enough to have actual mustaches, so I think I'll just leave all the mustache growing to Mr. Rowland. But I guess I'll try.

In Honor Of Movember


I have changed the blog theme in honor of Movember. If you take a good look at it, you'll see it reads something like Movember, foundation of something (I didn't get a good glimpse of it either...). Or you can just check out the full image here. I still need to change the link colours, navigational menu colours and a whole lot of other stuff to fit the Movember theme (and it's just for a month =P), but it's in honor of Movember.

Today Was Really Fun


I volunteered to be one of three scorekeepers for today's Senior Girls Volleyball Team games and it was really fun. I got hit in the head like two times by a ball (what did I ever do to AR Lord and Franklin?!) and then broke my chalk (I was using a chalkboard slate to keep score) several times. The first chalk I had was a white one, which I would really soon into the first game break into two. I would then ask my friend Phillip for another piece of chalk. He handed me a yellow piece of chalk, which I managed to break into two pieces. I managed to use one of the halves for about two games, but then I broke the half of yellow chalk into two pieces and ended up with a quarter piece of chalk. I write too hard with chalk. Anyways, I used the side of my hand as a brush instead of the chalk brush that was sitting beside me the whole time and by the end of the games, my hand looked as yellow as... Well... A yellow hand! Anyways, it was a great day and I had loads of fun. Can't wait for next week (I'm score keeping for the girl's whole season).

Big Project Due Tomorrow


Anyways, tomorrow I have a big project due with my group and I think we're going to make it. Kind of. We still need to print out the paragraphs, but that's basically it. I hope we finish it by tomorrow.

I Have To Go


Yah, I do have to go. My brother wants me to play Sailor's Song with him on the cello (he's a violin) and I guess I have to. But only one time (I don't really want to)! After that it's going to be episode four (season two) of The Walking Dead. Here I go. Raymond, you better be good at this. Anyways, bye for now. Thanks for reading, subscribe, do a bunch of random things, jump off a 20 meter building and have a nice night.

I Put A Lot Of Work And Thought Into This Blog

I Just Finished Updating This Page

The new page is really taking some time to update. I've just added about 15 links to it and it took a really long time to do so. I have to look at the link, write a description and then link it. It takes about 30 seconds for each link and so... That would mean... 450 seconds, which means about seven and a half minutes, which may not seem like a lot to you, but it is to me. But the linking is just seven and a half minutes. I still have to look at the link and look for them, which is about half an hour. Anyways, I do take a lot of time and thought into this blog and I hope that you enjoy it. Keep on reading!

I Can't Find My Watch


I realized at the start of the weekend that I didn't know where my watch was. I probably left it at school and I'm pretty sure that I didn't misplace it, because I remember that I had to take off my watch at volleyball practice (last Friday) and then I put it on the ground near my bag (which was out in the hall beside the gym). I must have forgotten it. I hope it's still there though.

iPad 2 VS PlayBook


A few days ago I posted up a new post on my technology blog about the war between Apple's iPad 2 and Blackberry's PlayBook. You can check it out here. I think I'm going to write up a post about Windows operating system after this post just because I don't have much else to do.

I Have Continued This Post


Hey there! Sorry I haven't really posted. But I have written a bit. The last part of this post is kind of outdated (just the watch thing though), so I'll give you a update. I found my watch (a friend of mine found it) and well... Errr... That's really it. I'll just go on with the topics I "planned out" to talk about in my blog. Have fun!

Halloween "Party" Yesterday


Anyways, yesterday I went to Calvin's Halloween "Party". Why is party in quotes? Because it wasn't really much of a party... Most of the party was just watching a few guys play a game called League Of Legends (which isn't very fun to me). Also Calvin's older brother's friends also had a party, so we were just stuck inside a small cramped room. But the rest of the day was great. Around 7:00 (PM), we went trick or treating until 8:00. Then we headed back to Calvin's house, but they were going trick or treating too, so we weren't allowed inside the house (nobody who didn't live there couldn't go inside). So Angelo, Phillip, Brian and I headed over to Brian's house and we played some NHL 2012 on the PS3. We got quite a bit of candy (we still haven't split it up) and we had a great time.

Canucks Are Currently Up 3 - 0 At The End Of Period One


The Canucks are currently playing the Flames in Calgary and it's the end of Period One... But we're still up in the game 3 - 0! I remembered to play the Canucks Fantasy Hockey this time and one of my picks have scored (some of my picks also got assists). I'm currently listening to the Canucks game radio station because I can't watch. You can listen too by clicking here (I'm not sure if it expires after the game and has a different address every). Go Canucks!

Nothing Much Else To Talk About


Well, there's nothing really much that I really want to talk about. So I'm just going to go play some Minecraft (I found some awesome seeds). Thanks for reading, subscribe, like on Facebook or whatever! See you later!


Forgot Something!


Tomorrow is the first game for the Senior Boys Volleyball Team. Let's hope that we can win it (it doesn't count towards the zone though... At least for now...). Wish us luck and please watch us after school as we play... Errr... I dunno who we're playing, but it's a home game, so you can watch. Go Begbie!
