Sorry I haven't updated since Thursday. My
hosting has been down anyways, so you wouldn't have been able to read my
updates anyways. Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I basically fooled around,
and that's how I ended my week.
Today I moved my dad's old credenza into my
room, and set my computer up on it. So, now I have a new desk for my room.
I'm keeping my old one, for when I get my new computer. When i do get my
new computer, I'm going to also get an ethernet switch and set up a two
computer network. I'm not sure yet what I'll use the network for, especially
seeing as it will only be a 56k or less speed network. I'll find a good
use for the network.
I'm going to church tomorrow for the first
time in about a month and a half. it kind of suck waking up early on a
Sunday morning, but I know I have to go to church anyways. Besides, I love
going to mass.
Monday is my birthday. I'm somewhat excited
to see what my parents are planning to get me. I think it might either
be my own phone line, or, an uninterruptable power supply. I'd like to
be surprised though. That would give me something to look forward to.

I just studied for an hour. I memorized a whole
bunch of stuff about PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol). The question is, how
much of it will I remember tomorrow? I hope I'll remember a lot of it.
I still have about 12 facts to memorize, but some of them involve many
individual pieces of information. So, I will try to be ready for my test
Tuesday afternoon.
I just had a piece of fabulous cherry cheesecake.
It was delicious. My aunt made the desert yesterday. I'm going to get real
fat if I keep eating like this. Not that I'm not fat already. I'll have
to loose some weight, to take some stress off my knees, back and feet.
Maybe I'll go on a V8 diet or something.

Today was pretty eventful. I woke up, went
to school, and did labs. I finished the labs after lunch was over. I had
much of a struggle to complete the labs, because I had many problems doing
the labs. I think the major factor that contributed to these problems was
the fact that I hadn't done any labs for a while. So, my ability to troubleshoot
waned. But, I got back in the loop and did pretty well on my labs. I'm
still waiting for these labs, as well as many others to be graded.
Afterschool, we had to drive sixty miles to
and sixty miles from Haines City, to pick up my aunt from her cruise. We
stopped at a Perkins restaurant and at dinner. I had a cheeseburger and
fries. The food was pretty good, but they hardly gave me any fries. It's
okay though, because I was pretty full by the time I finished my burger
and fries.
Since I got home, I've mostly watched TV and
surfed the net. I have to get offline at about 9 PM to study for a test
I'm taking tomorrow. I just hope that I'm ready for the test by tomorrow.
If nto, I can always study over the weekend and take my test Monday. The
only problem with doing this is that I will be even farther behind. I'm
supposed
to finish this semester early. I honestly don't know if that's going to
happen. We'll see though!

So I woke up this morning, tired as usual.
I slept in the car on the way to school, nd got to class at about 8:05
AM. I slept for about 30 minutes and then had a presentation. The presentation
only lasted about 30 minutes, and then I went outside for a cig and a soda.
After I drank the soda, I was pretty well awake. I went to lunch at 11:00,
as usual.
After lunch, I found out that the computer
I use in class had "malware", or unwanted software, downloaded automatically
when I went to a random site. So, my assistant teacher spent 20 minutes
removing the software, and configuring a program called "DeepFreeze". DeepFreeze
is a program designed to keep a computer's configuration from changing.
It had been enabled on the computer at a previous time, but was disabled
a while back, for some reason I don't even remember.
After that, I spent a little time surfing
the net and playing Mahjongg. Finally, it was time to go home, and I was
more
than
happy to do so. When I got home, I ate dinner, and then had some ice cream
for desert.
After that, I watched TV for a while, and then went
and bought some smokes. My uncle, luckily, was willing to give me money
for the smokes, out of the kindness of his heart. Good thing too, because
2/3 of the money i had was in quarters. He even let me keep the change!
Later on, I tried to salvage my old site (dem0nized.tk),
but I couldn't get a good design going. I gave up on it. I don't really
need
to have another site anyways. Like I said last night, I don't have much
to put on it as of now. Maybe I'll come up with more content, and then
order the free domain again from http://www.dot.tk.
It was a pretty eventful day, I guess. Now
I have to do some studying. I think I'll put it off till about 9 PM. It'll
only take me about an hour anyways. I'll have plenty of time to surf the
net and go on IRC afterwards.

So, today was pretty boring. I was supposed
to go in for a presentation, but my teacher had to go to a meeting. So
I just surfed the net, and drank coffee. Towards the end of the day I got
real nauseous and went outside for some fresh air. Twenty minutes later
it was time to go home.
I've been thinking about buying my domain for
my future company now, so I'll have it saved for when it's time
to start the business. I can get a domain from http://www.godaddy.com
for seven years for about $8.95. Good price, in my opinion.

Not much went on today. We discovered that
the network in my class's building, which we just rewired, has some flaws.
So we worked on fixing them today. I was glad to do it because I didn't
feel like doing any regular work. Tomorrow, though, I'm going to start
studying and working hardcore, so that I can finish this semester early.

I made a few changes to the blog. I'm debating
whether or not to keep the baby blue/turqiouse fading background. I dunno.
We'll see what happens in the next few days. This blog seems to change
with my mood. I wish I could stick with one kind of "theme", rather than
changing it all the time. But, some may say that change is a good thing.
Hey, I might come across a look that's even better than any of my other
ones and then keep it. So maybe this experimenting with the look is good
after all!
I really love having my own custom blog, which I
made with my own ten fingers. This site is my pride and joy. I was never
happy with my last real site (http://www.dem0nized.tk) and so I kept changing
it over and over. Finally, tonight, I deleted the domain. I got tired of
having a site without anything to really put on it. Oh well, that's life!
I'm really hoping that I can get up the motivation
to finish my semester early. It would be good to be done early, and plus,
that's less nagging from my mom. I also need to get my driver's license.
I lost a bet about getting my driver's license in December of last year.
I just wish I could be more motivated to finish things, rather than dwell
on them so much.
Another thing is that if I don't stay committed to my goal
of earning a degree in business management, and change my mind, it's not
going to be good for me mentally or for my relationship with my
parents (especially my mom). I need to focus and get something done. I
need to at least earn a degree before changing my interests. Then I can
always say that I'm specializing in a certain area of business. Plus that
works out, because then I can start my own business.
But, it's like I said the other night: I'm a very
anxious person, and running a business might be detrimental to my health.
I don't know if I can take up a leadership position, when I'm already so
unsure of myself. But hey, the idea I have for a search engine/internet
advertising company is, in my opinion, a good one. And I bet I could make
lots of money running a business like that.
Well, cheerio!

Okay, so I haven't updated my blog since Thursday.
Sorry, I've had guests. My aunt and uncle, as well as some other relatives
have been down. Everyone except my uncle went on a cruise today, and they'll
be gone for 4 days, so I'll have time to update this blog (hopefully).
Not much going on. I was thinking about giving this blog yet another
new look. However, I decided not to. Fuck it, it's a waste of time.
I have school tomorrow. Blegh. I don't want to go.
I've been putting off studying for a test I should be taking tomorrow.
Fuck, life sucks.
Okay, so life doesn't suck that badly. But hell,
I wish I could just be done with this CISCO crap so that I can move onto
something I'm actually going to want to use in life. I still plan on getting
a degree in business management. That I'll use. I may even go as
far as to get an MBA.
What I'd really like to do is start my own business.
It would be a search engine/internet advertising company. Sort of like
what google.com is. I'd charge big bucks to advertise people's sites on
my site. Plus I'd have news, usenet links, and other useful shit. I may
even offer email. The possibilities are endless.
The only problem is, running a business takes
a lot of work. I don't know if I can do it. But, I want to do it.
Maybe I'll find a business partner to run the business with. That
would take some of the load off of me.
Any who, I'll update again later, if there's
anything worth saying. I've rambled on far too much tonight. Peace.

I'm back! I didn't update this blog yesterday,
but here I am on the next day making up for my lack of motivation. I created
a new look for my main webpage, dem0nized.tk.
Check it out! It'll be finished by tonight.

I'm finished changing my site, for now. It
looks a lot more interesting now, in my opinion. I'm going to add the web
cam as soon as possible. But, I have to get DSL and a static IP first.
Stay tuned!

I just heard on CNN that North Korea is offering
to give up their nuclear program, given that we end sanctions, and continue
to supply support for their people. I know what's going to happen though.
They won't get rid of their weapons, and we'll have another war like with
Iraq. Bush will be re-elected, and we'll go through the same crap again.
You just watch.

Not much going on. I changed the site a bit.
Still making some other changes tonight. Stay tuned!
My date was somewhat eventful. I woke up at 12:00 PM ,
and I was lightheaded and had diarrhea all day. It sucked kind of. Did
some studying this evening and watched wrestling. I'm going to finish my
updates to this site and then watch some CNN.

I was thinking, the US is forcing democracy on Iraq at
gunpoint. This isn't right. You can't impose a new government system on
a country that has never seen such a system and expect them to "get used
to it" in a short period of time. It took the US over 200 years to get
to the point it's at, and it's still having problems. The point is, you
can't force your beliefs on someone, whether political, religious, or otherwise.
It is not your place. You cannot play God. You cannot force rules or lifestyles
on other people. I think it's time that Iraq, as a country, elects a leader,
a constitution, and the US should get out as quick as possible.

Okay, I think I either have a cavity or a loose
molar. All I know is that it hurts to chew things that are especially hard
on the right side of my mouth. It could just be my jaw, but who knows.
I wish I could afford the new corvette that's coming
out in late summer. That car is soooo rad.
I forgot to study today. I'll have to catch
up tomorrow. School starts soon, and I can't be behind. I talked to my
dad today about taking some time off school to work after this semester.
He's okay with it. I just have to see what my mom says....

I have to get new glasses soon, so I think
I'll get "emo" glasses. You know, those thin, black framed glasses. I don't
know why. Maybe it's just to be someone else for a change. I guess it's
a reflection of my dissatisfaction with my own personality. But I
dunno.
I want to try this new soda, Bawls, that I
saw a segment about on CNN. It's supposed to be loaded with caffeine. But,
I'm already addicted enough to caffeine. It wouldn't really be much of
a jump though, seeing as I'm always on a pretty big dose.
I'm going to smoke a cig...

I'm watching Howard Stern, and Pamela Anderson

So, I changed the page a little bit. I deleted
the horizontal line graphic and replaced it with a regular HTML <HR>.
I was going to make the page more than just a blog page, but at the last
minute I decided not to. I was unsatisfied with what I had created. Maybe
some other time.
I have to so some studying for school in half
an hour. I hate having to study during winter break. I don't think this
break was long enough. I go back to school on Tuesday.

So, I did my studying for school. It wasn't

CNN.
I'm actually liking this blog a lot. It's better
than my LiveJournal, because it's more personal. I made the tables and
the graphics, and did all the HTML myself.

Welcome to my blog! I created this page and
all the graphics myself! Like the intro says, this will basically be a
rant page. In my best times and worst times I will post my thoughts here.
I've had a good New Year's Day so far. Last night
I had fuzzy navels, but they were nonalcoholic. Oh well, I don't like drinking
that much anyway. It's not the drinking I don't like. I like being drunk.
It's just the day after that I hate. Hangovers suck ass!. Anyway, that's
all I have to say for now. Tune in next time for more thoughts from the
mind of Ken!
