My life really isn't interesting. I know no one reads this. I don't even know why I set it up and write in it.

What I did this summer...
When upgraded to Digital Cable in mid-July and ever since I have been watching a lot of movies. I literally have watched about 50 movies since May. That a lot for me. And most of them were really good. (You can read reviews of all the movies on the Flixter application on Facebook). I also became addicted to the show Weeds. I bough the first two seasons at a yard sale for $2 each and I LOVED the show. I watched the first two seasons in like three days. I then had to go buy season three because the cliffhanger at the end of season drove me crazy. Then I had to go buy season four. With each season I liked the show more. When I finished watching season four I started re-watching the DVDs. Then when I finished watching season four I freaked because season five is on TV now and wouldn't go on sale until June of next year, I checked Amazon. I really wish we got Showtime so I could watch the new season, but Showtime is an extra $10 a month and if I wait I can buy all of season five for like $20 next year. Last week I was at my great-aunt's house and she gets Showtime and has On Demand so I was able to watch the first one and a half episodes of season five. I also four books since the beginning of May. That is a lot of books for me. I usually read like maybe 2 books a year. You can see a list of all the movies I watched and books I read by clicking here.

Warped was fun and Johnny was interesting
Then I really didn't do much last week.
Over the weekend my family went to upstate Vermont to visit and old family friend. We were going to see my dad's old friend from college, Johnny, whom we hadn't seen in like ten years. It was kind of interesting listening to him talk about my dad's college days. I learned some interesting stuff, some I might not have wanted to know, haha. He was cool but I he lives literally about 4 miles from the Candaian border in Swanton, VT and there is literally nothing up there.
I have been trying to find a job but no one is hiring I've been selling crap on eBay to try to make money. Since the end of May I've listed 87 items and made about $258 on eBay and I got a crap load more stuff to put on. I got my college bill for the fall in the mail over the weekend and I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more than that.
Well that's about it for now. My cousins baby shower is this Saturday, I might write about that after Saturday.

Blog on Facebook, Going to Breakfast with Bun, I gotta alotta trash, etc....
Bun told me several times last week that we'd all go to breakfast sometime this week. Well the week is almost over and we haven't yet. I called her earlier and asked her if we're going or not. She said sure we're going tomorrow, me, her and Kara. But she asked me where I wanted to go, and I told her Jake's. She said she still isn't ready to go to Jake's so we're going to some little place in Acton.
I spent several hours yesterday and today working on my Chem lab and Chem quiz. My Chem teacher is the only one who gave homework over break, I hate her. Both the quiz and lab are a bitch to do, I didn't finish either. Me and Scott were talking on Facebook chat and he helped me some but he is really confused too. We are both just going to do them both on Monday so we can ask the stupid teacher questions.
I saw this shirt online and I kinda like it, and it's cheap, should I buy it?
Wow my blog posts are random haha.

This semester is better than the last one
Wow, I haven't updated this in a long time. I stopped because I know that no one reads this, I only started writing in it because I was bored. I knew the only person you read this was Jessie and after we broke up I just didn't see why I should. I'm still not actually sure why I am.
This semester has been ok. It is a lot better than last semester. Last semester was probably the worst semester of my college life so far, and probably will be my worst semester of college period. Last semester Grampy was in the hospital most of the from the end of October to the end of November (which is most of the semester),, he died in the end of November. There was also my problems with Jessie, I wasn't really happy most of the time and I don't think she was either. Most of the time I tried to act like it was Ok because I had enough to deal with with Grampy and and school. For some reason I've hanging out at school a lot this semester. Everyday, except Monday, I'm done with classes pretty early, but yet I don't go home until usually 3 or so. I don't really do anything at school. I usually just watch TV and hang out around the Living Room (the area with the couches in the Student Center at WSC) and surf the internet. Sometimes I do homework, usually I don't though. Sometimes I hang out with some of my new friends. Most of my classes aren't too bad. My Chemistry teacher is annoying though because she obviously doesn't know Chemistry, she makes really really dumb mistake in class and it's annoying because she is the teacher and the students correct her at least 3 times every class. My favorite professor, Jeff Meunier, will not be returning in the fall. He wants to, but they are cutting all temporary staff, and he is sadly temporary. I few of us circulated a petition to try to get him to stay. We collected about 110 signatures, about 80 of those I personally collected thank you very much. We gave the petition to the school president, but we are unsure if it'll work. He said at the end of the semester we will have a party, regardless if he stays or goes. He told us its hard to have a party at school so we should all go to a local bar. How many teachers say his students should go to a bar with him? This guy is awesome, he is always cracking jokes in class and tells us awesome stories and he is the most passionate CS teacher at WSC.
Jessie sent me another message on Facebook today. She sent me one in early January when she found out my cousin Jessica is pregnant. Just like the last time I didn't respond. I'm not being pissy I just really think it is best if she is completely out of my life. I had decided a long time before we broke up that when we broke up, I say when and not if because I knew we wouldn't last, that I would want her completely out of my life. I didn't want to talk to her anymore, I didn't want to see her anymore, nothing. The second we broke up I decided I really wanted to stay to that plan. I just don't want any contact with her. I honestly think I'd be better off. Against my better judgment, I actually read the message. She was actually very civil in the message. She said she wanted to know if I wanted hang out sometime. But Jessie was once again being Jessie. She is not realistic. She needs to realize I don't want to have anything to do with her. Yes I get bored and lonely at times, yes I am on Spring Break and am more bored than usual, yes I want to spend time out with people, but no I do not want to spend time with her. She'll probably read this, which is probably good, I'm not being pissy, I'm just honest. I have been trying to contact Garrett about hanging out this week, but he is never online.

I hate When My 7 AM Class is Canceled
Today at school I had a 7 am class. I got to school at 6:55 am and there was a sign on the door that said class was canceled. I was not happy. I woke up that early and class was canceled. A few of us went to the Student Center and I checked my email, I got a email saying class was canceled. But who checks their email at like 6am??? The time of the email was midnight last night. If you have a 7 am class the next day and you aren't an idiot wouldn't you go to bed before midnight??? It wasn't a total loss though, Scott helped me a lot with my chemistry, a lot. We were trying to find something to watch in the Student Center, but there is nothing on TV at from like 7am 8:30 am except infomercials, children's shows and crappy morning shows. We eventually found Malcolm in the Middle and watched that.
When I got home I went to the post office and the library. I picked up my Cheech & Chong tickets at the post office, sweet. At the library I got three DVDs out. I figure maybe on Friday me & Jessie could watch a couple. Jessie is awesome. I got Rocket Science, Thumbsucker, and Idiocracy.

I GOT A C+ IN CALC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I GOT A C+ IN CALCULUS!!!!!!! I got a 69 on the final. I had done the math out on Tuesday and I figured out if I got at least a 67 on the final I'd get at least a 70 in the class, which is what I needed. With a 69 on the final means I got a 71 in the class, which is awesome. But even better, the teacher emailed me to tell me my grade on the final and he said my overall grade in the class was a C+. One of the kids in my CS classes said he took the online class with the professor and he got a letter grade above what he deserved.

I Got an A in Public Soeaking, Futurama, Calc Sucks
Oh Jeffrey, I guess you earned something like an A plus; BUT we don’t add the “plus” at WSC. I thought grades were public by now. You did an amazing job and were such a positive energizer; thank you so much. Weird is good.
Helena
That was sweet.
The new Futurama DVD came I the mail today. I'm watching it now. It's pretty good.
I studied for my Calc final for several hours today. Calc is a bitch. My final is Wednesday. I have to get a at least 67 on it to get a 70 in the class. I'm going to go into school to get help from the math lab.

Yard Saleing, Calculus, and Carlin on SNL
When we got home I checked my email and I got a 93 on my 5th and last Calculus quiz. My current average in the class is a 73 I think. I figured it it out mathematically and if I can get at least a 67 on the final I will get a 70 in the class. I have to have at least a 70, so I hope I get that. I really really don't want to take the class for a third time.
To honor George Carlin NBC is replaying the first episode of Saturday Night Live, which he hosted in 1975. Although back then it was only called Saturday Night. It's really interesting. Some of the sketches are weird. Some sketches aren't that funny. But you can definitely tell how revolutionary the show was at the time. It seems so awesome that Carlin hosted the first episode of SNL. He and SNL are so important to modern comedy and modern comedy would never have been the same without either. They both radically changed comedy forever.

I made the Dean's List and CALC SUCKS
Well I get a big certificate in the mail, I made the Dean's list for the Spring Semester. Mom keeps hanging it in the fridge, I keep taking it down. I really don't find it that important.
I was trying to do my Calc earlier and I am very lost, really lost. I am going to go into school tomorrow and get help. I am really hating Calculus!!!! The teacher's notes are so incredibly horrible it baffles me. I really don't like this guy.

Calc Sucks & Stupid Teens love AP
UGH I HATE CALCULUS!!!! The teacher for my online Calc I class I'm taking posted horrible notes online and we are supposed to learn Calculus ourselves from his notes and the book. He keeps saying to use the math computer programs Maple and Converge. However, he never really goes into much detail on how to use these programs. He relies way to much on these programs. If someone takes his online Calc I class and then tries to take Calc II in a real classroom they'd be screwed. I have to take Calc II so I'm hoping I do OK. I sent a message to Jill P. to see if she could help me tomorrow. She didn't respond yet. I'm really really hoping she will help me. I tried calling her house at like 7:30 but she wasn't home.
I had an issue of Alternative Press for sale on eBay. I listed it for $.99. It just ended at $10. These people are crazy. The issue got 18 bids. Why do people pay so much for issues of AP? I've sold issue for $15 and $20. Why? I get a year subscription of AP every year at warped tour. I've sold most of the issues I have. I am making a huge profit on these issues of AP. With the sale of this issue I have enough to buy a new two-year subscription of AP. Most of the high bidders on my AP issues are teenagers, who 9 times out of 10 only buy it because their favorite band is on the cover.

My Public Speaking Teacher is Cool and 30 Days is a Good Show
My Public Speaking class ended on Friday. I sent my teacher an email on Sunday to say how much I liked her class and her. She sent me a reply this morning it said:
Thanks Jeffrey, and you are definitely one of my favorites. Weird is good as we both know.
--Helena
That was nice. The weird comment is in reference to all the times in class I stated I was weird, haha.
The new season of the show 30 days started tonight. I am really starting to like this show a lot. I think it is a very important show. I know that sounds dumb, but it is a fun show that is funny at times but it can also be deep. Last week I watched an episode where a guy who is a computer programmer who lost his job to outsourcing to India. He went to India for thirty days to work there to see why all the jobs are being sent there. It is really interesting seeing how all the people in India think about outsourcing. After that I watched an episode where a Christian guy from the Mid-West who believes that homosexuality is immoral was sent to live with a gay man in the Castro district of San Francisco, which is literally the gayest place on earth. Tonight is the season premiere and show creator Morgan Spurlock is working as a coal miner for 30 days. It is sad how there are so many different ways for these guys to die underground. Their wives freak out if their they are only a couple minutes late. The percentage of coal miner who get black lung is sad, almost all of them get some degree of it. The guy Morgan Spurlock was staying with was tested for Black Lung seven years ago and was negative. He claimed he was still healthy. Morgan Spurlock challenged him to get another test with him at the end of the month. They both got tested. Morgan Spurlock was negative, he had no signs of Black Lung, probably because he was only in the mines for 30 days. The other guy wasn't as lucky. He wasn't as healthy as he claimed. He had small particles of dust in each lung, which means he is in the starting of Black Lung. It was sad.

I got Straight A's!!!!!!!!
So I finally got my grades for the spring semester that just ended. I got four A's and an A-. My mom keeps calling everyone to tell them. It just annoys me because when I was in high school she would complain if I didn't get straight A's. When I started college I told her I would not tell her any of my grades and that she needed to learn to be a hell of a lot lax about my grades because I was doing my best. But it does make me happy I got all A's. I love how I got an A in Digital Computer Organization, because I never really learned petty much anything in that class.

Public Speaking May Not Be That Bad
My first real day of my Public Speaking summer class was today. It was pretty easy. It seems like it will be an easy and fun class. I like the teacher. There is only 9 of us in the class and they are all pretty cool. This could be an interesting class. We have to give 5 speeches and there is fur quizzes. Including today the entire class is only eight days long. My online Calc 1 class starts tomorrow. I'm told that class is really easy as well. I heard that teacher is really easy. And I have all my old notes from my Calc 1 last fall.

No Summer Class = Dr. Tran
My Public Speaking summer class started today. The teacher never showed up though. The secretary came in after 20 minutes and said the teacher had scheduled a meeting with the college president and the same time as class and isn't coming. I have posted theHere Comes Dr. Tran video below. It is funny.

I LOVED this Movie, GO SEE UNTRACEABLE
OH. MY. GOD!!!!! I just finished watching the movie Untraceable. That movie was amazing!!!! Holy crap, it was awesome for me. It involved crazy technology and insane suspense with a crazy psychotic killer. That movie was really good. I don't it get good reviews. In fact I just looked up some reviews, many of the newspaper I read pretty much called it awful. I don't agree it was so so good. I loved it. Clark Collis, from Entertainment Weekly, said "...after a much-too-early reveal of the murderer's identity, the 'low battery' signal starts to flash on this film...". That is the only review I agreed with. The killer's identity was revealed way to early. But I don't think we it really drew that much away from the story. We find out what the killer looks like, but that's it. We don't find out how is until the end. Some online user reviews said the gore and disturbing content were inappropriate for the film and the movie would have been better with less of them. I don't agree. The disturbing stuff is what keeps you on the edge of your seat. I loved the background story of the killer. I loved how all the victims were tied together in the end. It was genius. It really makes you think, of all the crazy disturbing shit online, could someone just snap because of it. Not because they are desensitized, but because they knew someone in one of the disturbing videos online. I really want to elaborate on that more, but if I say more it may ruin the end for anyone who hasn't seen it. I loved Diane Lane as the main character. Anyone else in that role wouldn't have worked as well or made the character what it was. I'm not positive if I loved the actual ending. I loved the ending, its just the last like 10 seconds I'm unsure about. It just ends. I think they should have added at least 2 minutes after what happened in the end, just to wrap it up and show Diane Lane's character back at the FBI. However, the way the movie ends keeps your heart pounding and doesn't let you calm down. Sometimes movies that end like that just adds to the suspense. I don't know. I guess I liked the ending, but I still think they should have added about two minutes. I think everyone reads this should rent this movie though and decide if you like this for yourself. I have included the trailer for the film below. Now I know the only person who reads this is Jessie, so Jessie you should see this.

Last Final and Cleaned Room
Today was my last final for the Spring semester. However, I don't have too much free time because I'm taking two summer classes, Public Speaking and Calculus I, that both start on next Monday May 19. The Public Speaking class is 9 am to 1 pm Monday through Friday, May 19 through May 30. That class will be fun because it is only for two weeks. I was talking to someone who is taking the Public Speaking class with me and he said their are only six of us in the class. The other class is online and I think ends July 1.
The final I had today was in my Digital Computer Organization and it was so stupidly easy today. We could use our book, notes and computer on the final. First, the first question was straight out of the book and the book gave the answer as well. Next, the answers to questions 2 & 3 could be found easy by plugging the questions into a program on the computer. Next, their were 10 multiple choose questions. The teacher must have photocopied the wrong sheet of questions, he had the answers under each question. After that there was a very easy question about the stack. I probably got a hundred, if not a then 95. The test started at 12:30 and we had until 3:30. We were all done by 1:10. I suggested we all go to lunch. Pedro, Johny, me, and that kid whose name I ever remember all went to Blue Jeans Pizza on Park Ave in Worcester. We got Pizza from them for our annual end-of-semester party last Monday. They make good pizza. While eating today we decided we are going to change our annual end-of-semester party from being the end of every year to be the end of every semester.
Today I cleaned my room. It isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. It is more organized. I also finally hung the Jim Morrison tapestry I got at a yard sale last summer. I hung it on the back of my door. I organized all my eBay stuff. I now have a cabinet of stuff that needs to be put on eBay and cardboard box of stuff that needs to be put on. I also have a box of stuff that is on eBay now. There is now also a box of stuff that I either is for the yard sale/flea market, I have listed already on eBay and it didn't sell or I don't even want to try to list it on eBay. I also organized my packaging stuff. I also finally got rid of the two boxes of diapers in my room. I put the bags of diapers that were in each box in two trash bags and keep the boxes. I also cleaned my desk and floor. My room looks pretty good.
Tomorrow me and mom are going shopping at Bobs and Kohl's. I need some shorts and a new pair of shoes.

Global Warming, Stupid Abiola and BREASTS!!!!!
So of course Abiola told me today she is working tomorrow. She had told me before she wasn't, but she was wrong. So now we aren't going to see the new movie Strange Wilderness tomorrow. I really wanted to see it. This is like the fifth time I have tried to make plans with her in the past like month and a half, and every single time she canceled at the last minute. It's really annoying.
The organization Keep a Breast was at warped tour last year and they were selling the below T-shirt really cheap. They were also handing out free stickers and pins with the same logo as the shirt. I considered getting a shirt, but didn't. I wish I at least got a sticker or pin, but I didn't. I got the new issue of AP (Alternative Press) in the mail today and there is a full page ad for Keep a Breast with a bunch bands at warped tour last year wearing the below shirt and I saw it and wished I'd got it again.

Headache, School and a Dumb Movie
So I did some editing on my website, go check it out at http://ribzy.freehostia.com/. I have a headache, it's probably as mix of Jen and being sleepy. Me and mom had to watch Jen almost all day Saturday and for some reason she was a beast. She just whined and fussed all day. I didn't do any homework yet. I meant to all day Saturday, but just never did. Yesterday at school I found out that they are offer the online Calc I again. I was going take it but it had been canceled, so I took Principles of Political Science instead. Yesterday I contemplated dropping Principles of Political Science and take the online Calc I. My mom said I should take both, but I told her there is no way in hell I'm taking six classes. I think I'm just going to take it in the fall. I think Johnny is going to do the same thing. I have been meaning to put some more stuff on eBay for a week, but I've only listed one thing. There is literally $40 items on the floor next to me waiting to be listed on eBay. Like half of them are already all priced and everything. I'll probably hopefully list a bunch this week. Yesterday at school a big group of us watched the movie Shoot Em Up on one of the TVs in the Student Center. That movie was so stupid and incredibly unbelievable. By the end of the movie the main character has severally injured both his hands, and their all bandaged up. Then he pulls a gun out of pocket and shoots some people trying the rob the restaurant by wedging a carrot in the trigger of the gun and pushing the carrot with his stub of a hand to fire the gun. then he shots on of the robbers in the leg, then the robber falls. He then shots that robber right on his trigger finger of the gun he is holding which fires robber 1's gun and hits robber 2. We all laughed so hard because it was so unbelievably dumb. And they wondered why that movie didn't do that good in the theatres last year.
