My Future

Before I get into a very long, detailed, and emotional post, let me point out something. I have changed the permalink structure for the blog once and for all. Just click the post title to check it out.

So yes… my future. What do I plan on doing over the next few months? Next year? My life? Well… I plan on answering that very soon, and some of it right here, right now. Over the next few weeks I will make a number of very important decisions, such as my educational future (foreign language is one of them), business future (darkTech and Masked Media), as well as some other items, which I won’t reveal now. Maybe you will see an article posted, hm…, maybe 2 weeks from now stating what I mean. Anyway, my educational future. This has taken me some time to think, but I really do want to get into the web, tech, and media fields, even though it may not be as big as it is now. Maybe it will be bigger, maybe not. Its like video games: ‘Oh, I want to make games for a living!’. Sure, go ahead, except what you learn 4 years from now won’t last you another 10. You see… a career isn’t about making money, being in control, and all that other stuff. It is about revolutionizing the world. Microsoft and Apple did it with the graphical OS, Revision3 did it with web media. Facebook and MySpace did it with social networks. Ford did it with cars. The world needs people who can change it for the better, whether it means upgrading current technologies and making them better, making new ones, or just pushing that little bit extra to change something. So, what do I want to do? Well, something within the three categories I stated above, but as for what, I don’t know.

I did my short-term interests, but what about into next year? 2007 went fast. Incredibly fast. I really can’t believe how fast it went. I can remember New Years night as if it was last week. Maybe thats what happens as you get older. My New Years resolution was to make something everyone can use. I have been as close to that as I have ever been. The upcoming release of WebPak, as well as the first darkTech labeled product, have been milestones for me, because its a difrent course then what I have ever taken before. My old goal was aiming for money (hell, I can remember February when I was drafting up price lists for an old database application), but now I am practically releasing things open source. What do you think is better? I have also become a tad-bit nicer over the past couple of months, compared to earlier this year. Why? I don’t know, but maybe something (or somebody) made me change. My future is obscure… but hey, I try. I won’t be doing a winter sport this year, but will be training for spring track. XC ends at the end of the month, so I will be back working harder than ever. Maybe. I like resting a bit after school, having a snack, so on. But hey, its October already. Three more months left.

Next year will be different, I can feel it. 2008 will be my year. How? Why? I don’t know. I just can feel it. Maybe its something coming, who knows. We will see though. See ya later.

Do I REALLY Need that 3 1/2″ by 2 1/2″ Piece of Plastic?

Apparently, in order to get into the school, I do need that. And thats a ton of bull shit. So today is the first day I forgot my ID for school so far this year (almost a month, pretty good for me :P). So, new and not knowing, I ask the guy if I could go to Student Services and get a temporary ID, aka a piece of paper with my name and the date. So this guy, a dipshit asshole plain-cloths cop with no hair says no, and that I have to stand outside until the late bell rings, then I can. So right now I am about to punch this fag in the nuts, but I hold my cool. I waited, then went inside and signed in late, got my ID, and went to my locker. So yea, once the announcements start, thats the start of first period. I don’t get my ID until the announcements already started. I said fuck it, why rush? I took my time at my locker… yada yada, went to Global. Technically, Mrs. Lease (one of the coolest teachers ever) should have given me a detention slip for after school detention (ruining my day off from practice), but, being so awesome, she didn’t. So I do some stupid project in there, go to English, got a 100 on my quiz. Go to Math, got a 97 on my test. Oh yea, I also got a 103 on my Global test :P. So I go to French, and bull shit crazy ass Ms. Springer gives us a quiz… which wasn’t the issue. She gives us an ‘Evil Extra Credit’. Know what that is? I was like, damn, probably a hard extra credit question, right? No. Hell no. Fuck no. So yea, get it right, get five points. Get it wrong, and by wrong I mean either wrong or if you wrote nothing at all, lose ten points. Thats fucking bullshit. Why say extra credit if we LOSE points? Whatever… she can suck a cock. Went to Biology, double period. Not bad, Mr. Regan is cool. All we did was watch a movie and answer some questions. I also got a 90 on my quiz from yesterday. He then apologized to me about being in a class with dipshits and assholes, I said whatever, I’m smart, there not. End of story. Go to Lunch, by some Skittles from Ian, then I remembered I was supposed to do the same fund raiser as he was. Oh well… ate like 3 bags of Skittles (the bag seemed to never end!), and chilled. Band was cool, finally got moved from 3rd to 1st clarinet parts, awesome. Had to make copies of the new music, so I was late to gym. Lost my gym lock somehow… Oh well. Ran a mile and a half for gym. Stupid. Anyway, that was my day pretty much. Sucked, right? Tell me about it. I’m going to dinner, I think. If my dad ever wakes up. Later.

The Constitution of Connor

So I ran a XC meet today, and ya know what, I decided to write a constitution. About what, you may ask? Well… I have always been a bit odd when it came to both me controlling things, and people controlling me. This document will state exactly what I have the right to do to you, and what you have the right to do to me. I have decided NOT to make this a blog post, yet link to it, once I upload it :P. Check the footer for the link to the Constitution of Connor.

Some of you may have also noticed the change of my motto from ‘I Hope You Have Hobo Stab Insurance.’ to ‘Wallkill Cross Country Death Toll: 1′. No one really died… except somehow someone stepped on a rabbit in the trail. A few people where standing around it, so I was like ‘teh fukc?’, and I saw a stick and I assumed ‘Oh, a snake.’. Then I saw girls :P. So I walked over to it, and it looked as if it had a few ribs broken, since it was on its side, arms twitching slightly. Me and a few people told the girls to leave, and Petey took care of it. Cruel, you say? Would you rather die a slow, miserable death, or die quick, without pain? I thought so. Anyway, once I finish the constitution, I will upload it. Later.
