Another song title

I apologize for not having updated in awhile. I've been really busy with school and the like, and that's an understatement. I've yet to recall a more hectic week. It seems as though I was doing non-stop work, through any potential breaks or free time, I found myself at the computer typing up some homework related thing. I'm, by no means, complaining about this. I'm used to being lackadaisical about school related things and, admittedly, this constant work is somehow refershing to me, or a nice change rather.

In other news, random news at that, my internet router, quite literally "fried" by means completely unknown to me. What does this mean? I have no idea actually, besides the obvious cut on my online time, and I don't know if thats necessarily a bad thing, but an inconvenience make no mistake. Enough complaining about that though, the issue should be resolved hopefully sometime in the very near future.

"Ballad of a Comeback Kid"

I recently found out that I was accepted on my school's newspaper staff as a writer, woo! More to help with my writing...

I've been trying to cut down on the computer usage, but I'm finding it hard for some reason. I (as bad as this sounds) can't seem to keep myself occupied doing other things. I try drawing and writing as much as I can, but that only lasts for 30+ minutes each. So I try to get away from the computer, and I eventually find myself merely sitting somewhere else in my room, which accomplishes nothing, maybe even less than being at the computer. Hmm...

I have this creative writing class, that I was really looking forward to, and I was greatly dismayed with the turn out of it. It could be because I set very high expectations for the class, but it seems as though the class consists mainly of people who couldn't care less about it, and are only taking the class because it is an "easy A," as they say. I try hard to focus and absorb what the teacher is saying, but it's so hard with these kids providing constent distractions for other students as well as the teacher. Whenever we are asked to discuss our writings, most kids either offer their writitngs that are contructed in a way meant to most please the teacher, or they give some non-sensical mumbo-jumbo. Now, by no means am I trying to sound pretentious or elitist in any way. Perhaps my writings sound to them, as theirs do to me. But I personally know mine are genuine, regardless of what they think...so I guess that's all that really matters. I'm trying to ignore them for the most part anyway.

Oh, the title of this entry is a song name from a band called The New Pornographers.

First

Well this is my first post on this site.

Why?

Why did i create this blog? Well, I made it because I enjoy writing, and I thought this would be a good way to write some extra things in my free time. In the past, I tend to get the general reaction that my entries (on other "blog" sites) are "boring." Therefore, I hope to start fresh with this site and write interesting posts for viewing pleasure.
