And in This Corner a 340lb Gorilla

Well, I have much to do, much to do. By Friday I must design and implement a 4 bit arithmetic processor that can also preform a shift and and bitwise or operation. Now frankly as crazy as that sounds it shouldn't be that hard and circuit design is something I'm pretty good at usually, but then again I'm not entirely sure what a bitwise or operation is, although I shall learn that last bit today. I also have to write some crazy program for data structures by Sunday, I hate that class because among other things it's the only one in which I do not currently have an A. Then I have to do two circuit labs and various other homeworky type things. Thus it is good that I'm not going to Georgia because if I were I'd have no time to do any of this, plus now I get to hang out and relax a bit, sometimes, ok maybe not that much. Oh well, at least I get a weekend again, finally.

In other news I push jerked the most weight that I have ever pushed jerked in my life, 250lbs today. This is up a whole bunch, not sure the exact amount, from my previous max because I was able to fix up my form with the help of some of my buddies and the coaches.

Umm other than that, nothing too crazy going on, just kinda hanging out, relaxing because I get 5 more days off from practice this week, although I will be lifting on Friday-hope to power clean 275. Well ok I'm off to eat or sleep or maybe smash, possible work on projects, but unlikely till later today.

Right then, we'll call it a draw

Well, if any of you can place the quote that provides the title of this post you deserve a cookie and I urge to go forth and capture one.

Today's post is pretty much about how I hate weekend practices. They screw up my schedule and make all sorts of trouble. Now my room is all messy and we (actually only Connor, but still...) keep losing stuff. I feel like I'm behind in all of my classes, although I'm pretty much fine in all of them expect for Data Structures, which I'm still on target to pass easy, but still I would like it to be better than that. Ah well, sometimes these things happen and simply have to be dealt with. Sadly I strained my back today as well, and I missed my first lab submission, which is completely ok because I have extra credit opportunities to deal with that but again I wish it didn't have to be like that. ahh well, tomorrow I'll be able to get back on track for the most part, but I'm going to be completely honest with every one here, I really hope I do not dress for the Georgia Tech game, just because I'd like to just stay here relax and take care of business. I have a project due on Friday that I haven't been able to put much time into. So this week will be interesting, but when it's over I'll actually get to experience a for real weekend again, which will be awesome. Well, I'm going to go relax and play some video games, that's right video games-I'm a doing just fine at school and I've been destroying people at practice and playing really really well for pretty much a solid month now, so screw work for the rest of the night I'm going to relax and enjoy my evening.

Fine People of the Wilderness

That was strange this here post pretty much just posted it self in a blank state....

Anyhow

I feel as though I must share with you my powers of StumbleUpon, a strange and dangerous science that can bring content like this or maybe this. Anyway I won't be spamming the blog with random links to things like the wikipedia page for postcards-Now I won't mention the name of this particular blogger, because she does very fine work but it seems that the last few posts of her's have slightly gone down in quality in an effort to post more times that another blogger I know that also does very fine work. Frankly I only mention all of this be the first blogger post a single line blog, which while it did mention my dressing for the BC game was disappointing to me, and the fact that now I link all you readers to there pages, granted the vast majority of you readers are the same that upkeep those pages, I like to think of it as preparing for a wave of potential future readers.

Sidenote: Connor has not gone to Philosophy in about 2.5 weeks because his teacher keeps canceling class.

Well, as some of you know I recently got a new computer that is surprising in working condition for free. So to expand my computer literacy and test out a potentially useful technology I am using to learn linux the specific package I'm using is ubuntu. Let me tell you it's fairly complicated and a little hard to get used after being so used to pretty much being able to do whatever I want with windows. But ubuntu is a good package to learn on and I'm definitely in no rush to learn so I figure it's all good. Well, kinda because the rub about getting this free computer deal is that I did not get a monitor to go with it now I need a KVM, which unfortunately seems like it shall cost with the moneys and what not.


Ok well, this week has been odd for me, chiefly because the practice schedule has caused Saturday to be Monday, Sunday to be Tuesday, and so forth for the hours of practice time, so it's been strange. But I only really have to do two things this week, both relate to circuit analysis, so that's not bad. This weekend is going to be crazy because I'm on Friday we are definitely not have a "quiet get together with a tiny group of friends" so we definitely won't hang-out play video games and certainly not partake of any bread (in liquid form) then on Saturday I'm going to two friends certainly not for parties and costumes are definitely not involved. It's going to be interesting because I have practice at 3ish on both Saturday and Sunday...but it'll all work out fine.

I hope you people enjoyed this post now to leave with an unrelated picture, thank Skip for the idea...
That's my next roommate, which reminds me that we need to figure out where we're living....

Ok I have a question

Has anybody every heard of the "Golden Key International Honour Society"? They sent me a letter and they want $70 so I can join because I'm in the top 15% of my class. Benefits apparently include possible scholarships/grants, internships, access to their special library, conferences, and "special offers & discounts from a wide variety of special benefits partners"

What do all think? A group just looking to make money or an honest deal trying to better the lives of peoples?

Programming MADNESS!!!

This is SPARTAAAAA!!!!!!

Any how, this weekend has been really crazy, i guess mostly because of the practices, it doesn't even feel like a weekend. But good news everyone I have gotten my program to work and I'm feeling more and more comfortable with data structures, although I'm still behind in that class things are looking better. I pretty much spent all of today programing so I have the urge to do things like end lines with semicolons and line up brackets and such. But it's ok. I had to spend today programing because this program is due at midnight tonight and I didn't get any work done on it yesterday because Connor's family showed up and kidnapped me and forced me to go eat pizza and watch Across the Universe and then brought me back here, where the hall was engaging in a "massive multi-discipline work study" which I was also press ganged into. I have to say though I really enjoyed Across the Universe and although I've never taken any drugs I'm pretty sure that after seeing that movie I've had the experience of being on way too many of them at once. Although programming also seems to have that effect on the mind as well. I don't really want to go to practice today because it's Sunday and all I've done is program and I just want to finish the exception handling and commenting so I can just chill for a while, but no I have to go, so blah, stupid weekend practices...

Ahh the Weekend Kinda...

Hullo All, well yesterday was a fun day-started off with 4 am fire alarm and ended with slight brain deadism followed by a burst through to cleverness. So that was a little frustrating, but Connor and I did watch Green Street Hooligans and Alpha Dog and i have to say that Green Street Hooligans is a much much better movie. Alpha Dog did seem like it went away and I didn't really like it but both Connor and Trevor seemed to enjoy it so I might of just missed something.
But today so far Connor sleep in until awoken by the knock of Connor's family on the door so now his brothers are hanging out here before they all go to food. I have practice at 3 so that kinda bites on a Saturday but...
ok time to end this one for now

Tired, but Happy

Well, I am in fact both, long day but I feel it went I'm not entirely sure why I feel that way but I figure it's not a bad thing now to response to so comments

I have seen the picture of me from the duke game and it is most excellent. and hey, I really haven't a lot of time to play with fun bloggy bits yet, I will eventually get around to exciting bits for all you readers. well that's all the posts that I can remember the response to for now.

I found out today that I got a 98 on my design project for Intro to CPE and that was most excellent. Um data structures test didn't really go well, but ya win some ya lose some and I still have time to get that class right. I still love circuit analysis... um yeah that's pretty much it for today. I'll remember to post again soon

To My Readers....

No, faith readers i have not died and neglected to inform all of you. Rather, I have endured the week from the pit of blackness and punishment and lived. Plus i got to dress for the duke game so i guess it wasn't all that bad.
On tap for this week is relaxation because i only practice once until Saturday, a little bit of catching up and getting my course request in for next semester. Currently I have returned from talking to my awesome adviser who always provides me with all the info i need and i learned that I'm actually on schedule to graduate with a degree in EE in the summer of 2009. I won't be doing that of course but it's nice to know that that's where i am. I've also gotten all caught in Intro to Computer-an easy class that slides when things get busy sometimes. Now i just have to do some more work in Data Structure-i swear this is one of Satan's inventions-and then get ahead in circuits lab because i'll have to practice this week because of the impending Thursday night game, that i hope i'll get to dress for but i wouldn't be surprised if i didn't. um right now the hall is boring but that only because it's still earlier ( 11:44) which reminds me that I have to email my football adviser types to tell them that I'll be in on Thursday to deal with the likes of them and that they should stop being frantic and know that when it comes to my academics I kinda have it covered. Well, that's all for now I'll update all you all again some time later

Design

I tell you i really like design, i'm designing an odd little county circuit now and i can think of anything that i would rather do-i really like the whole "heres a problem now go come up with an answer" aspect of this project. It doesn't walk me through every step like a lab, it just lets me do it how i want, which is very nice.
In other news today has been fairly relaxed, nothing much has happened yet, but now it is time for me to go forth and meet a couple friends for lunch.

Upon Request

Beep Beep Beep, the microwave calls....

Hullo, I am creating this blog because it's a darn good way to tell my family about how the days go for me, plus my siblings gave me the motivation and the means-i'm stealling their blog website. Well, i must say that i'm losing my mind today, just because it's wednesday though, those are the worst days-stupid wednesday being all stuffed to the brim with things for me to do, oh yeah, well i'll thwart your evil plot and what not. I've already made it through the really tough portion of today, the lifting bit, and now i just have a test and practice to get done then i may partake of tasty tasty sleep and maybe evil a bit of circuit analysis homework. well i must rest for the times to come and i shall post more in the future
