For some reason, I keep forgetting that I have a blog. That, or I get incredibly lazy. That, or I just don't have anything exciting to blog about. I should really find interesting things to blog about, since I do have the time.
Since classes have started, I've skipped 8 of them. It's been 3 weeks. And I still feel up to speed on everything. I've grown completely apathetic toward formal education. Certain classes are able to prepare you for certain experiences, but most classes fail to prepare you for much more than what knowledge you would gain after a night of watching the Discovery Channel and History Channel for hours on end. (I'm mostly criticizing my Geology 103 class right now; my Philosophy classes are actually quite interesting -- especially Philosophy of Religion.)
In other news, I turned 22. First anniversary of being 21 went pretty well.
That's all I got. I need to shower.

As you've probably seen, there is a new video on par with Star Wars Kid -- Halo Kid. If you haven't, here is the video:
All I can say is wow. He takes the cake for time spent on doing nothing. And there is one thing that really makes me wonder about him. There is a perfectly good pool table next to him being used as a shelf for his cardboard guns. Now, lets look at the pros and cons of the pool table and his cardboard artillery:
| Develop a skill. | Develop a personality problem. |
| Play against friends. | Friends? What friends? Even if you had them, they don't have sweet cardboard guns, so they are definitely not good enough for you. |
| Use developed skills later in life. | Be lonely when you go to the bar or hang out with yourself. |
| Perfect hand-eye coordination. | Become a master at building houses and forts out of refrigerator boxes. |
That is a fairly short list, but I personally find it amazing a kid when through that much trouble to recreate things just for fun. Granted, I don't know how hold he is, and my judge of age is rough. (I would guess he is like, what, 14 or something?) If my judgment is right, he should be chasin' girls and trying to befriend people who can drive.
Then again, what do I know?

I really enjoy watching time lapse videos of things. This morning, the enjoyment is coming from videos of people where they took a picture of themselves every day for a period of time. The most impressive one so far has been over the length of 6 years.
That has to be weird for a person to look back on. Other than memory which fades away, it's the only thing connecting them to who they once were.
If I was smart, I would have done something like this when I came to school. But I never claimed to be an Einstein.
