Hammerhead

Cause we might as well be blind

- "If God Smokes Cheap Cigars", Envy on the Coast

Hey there. Haven't posted since last Saturday, been a little busy. I'd just like to point out that I was right about the A's losing Sunday, so I think I deserve a pat on the back. *Pats self on back*. Thanks, self.

STAR testing this week, normally not good. But when the class I'm taking it in is film, and the STAR test is really easy, well, it becomes awesome. Watched three films already, including the Social Network. I had never seen it, so I was surprised to learn that Mark Zuckerberg is a thief. Huh, the more you know.

I've been thinking a lot lately about taking that proficiency exam thing to get out of high school early. High school has always been fairly annoying, but I've gotten to the point where I really don't think there's more to get out of it. Nothing is getting done in terms of development, whether it be mentally or intellectually or whatever. I don't want to say I feel too good for high school, but I'm going to. I'd like to start taking college classes and get a job, and start being productive. Take steps toward where I want to go, you know?

I know and understand the arguments against this. "Oemgy high school is the best time of your life! You just don't know it! It's the memories! You're gonna throw away your senior year of high school! But things that don't matter happen!" I get it. But really, if high school ends up being the best time of my life, then something went seriously wrong in my life. By the time I'm, say, 25 or 30, I expect to have enough "memories" to make up for the supposedly important things I'd be missing.

But then again, I might stay. Who knows? Stay tuned to find out.

I had a whole other thing I was going to write about, but completely forgot what it was. I'll have to think. Let's see. There are some 24 year olds mooching off their parents right now on Dr Phil. That's mildly interesting. But that's not it.

Hm.

Drawing a blank. Oh well. Met a Vietnam War vet earlier, he was a cool guy. Senseless war, though, insane what it did to people. Looking to go see an improv tournament this weekend. That should be awesome. Improv is great, in case you didn't know. I think that lyric up there is really profound. It can apply to several different things. Think about it.

That's about it for now. Maybe if I actually can remember things I'll add some stuff later. Have a good night, people.

The Offspring are cool. I don't know that anybody denies that. So there's not really any explanation needed here. This is Hammerhead. Enjoy.
