Roc-A-Fella, Baby!



I'm just going to put it out there right now: I like JET.
Yes, they are devoid of intelligence and originality, but I don't mind a spin of "Get Born" or some tracks off "Shine On". I'm listening to "Shaka Rock" right now...it's okay, but I'll just stick to "She's A Genius" and maybe another track if it stands out.

I'm not liking the current weather. I want summery summer weather even though it's not summer, I just like the view of a sunny day more than rain. I'm not sure what a rainy Spring means, I can only hope it indicates a hawt summer ahead. I just want a lot of pool parties and no cares and relaxation and all that good stuff that I haven't had for the past years. Only a few more weeks, only a few more weeks.

You know that feeling you get in the middle of your chest when you see / meet up / hang out with that person you like? How it feels all pressured and your excited? I have that feeling right now because I'm listening to "The Blueprint" by Jay-Z. Am I smitten? Do I have a man-crush on Jay-Z? Very likely. H to tha izzo, V to tha izzay!

Also, no time to think about life and all that, it's all study all day. I'm motivated to study because these exams are pretty much the most important thing in my schooling life so far. Looks like I want to go well after all. Haven't stressed or anything though, pretty chill about it. Parents aren't, they're more edgy than me, which isn't hard. Being a slacker is the best.

The computer has not arrived yet either. This is shitty and simultaneously good. I just can't wait until post-HSC when I get to nerd it up for hours (days) on end playing WoW.

Con has Big Day Out ticket. I hope announcement 2 is ABAP, otherwise I'll sell it and make money. Or just deal with it. Probably the latter.

And this video is really hilarious:

Sweet.

Social


I wanna go to Copenhagen.

My parents were saying last night that I'm now being social without the computer. It guess it's true, but the only reason I've really been spending time with them is because they are in the same room as where I'm watching TV.

But having no computer is pretty lame. I don't get to surf the internet and find out useless information about pop culture with which I can talk to Steve and attempt to impress women. However, I am actually studying now more than I ever had with the computer to distract me. I still have periodical Facebook updates (thanks, be to the iPhone) and have my music playing "too loud", but some good notes and past papers have been done whilst sitting on my bed (my new study surrounding).

And very surprisingly, sitting in my room and studying has not lead me to playing a million hours of video games, considering I have a 360 and Wii set up on the TV and a GameCube and N64 safely packed in my room...and a Sega Megadrive and NES in the other room. Wow, I play and own a lot of games.

TRIALS UPDATE:

- Advanced English paper 1 was pretty good, except I didn't have enough time to effectively finish the comprehension. The essay on "Belonging" was something to be proud of and my creative story was pretty gnarls for being made up on the spot.

- Information, Processes and Technology was quite good. Unfortunately, there were two questions that were based on things we did not actually know. Thank you, Rodney Wood. Overall, it was a good exam, most questions were answered well and I did a bit of the 'ol information wank

- Mathematics was the longest 3 hours of my life. I dropped marks because there were parts I just did not know how to do. I mean I actually could not recall how to answer them. It was year 11 stuff that I don't remember so I can't ask my tutor to teach me it because I can't ever remember learning it. Otherwise, some questions I pretty much made my bitch. Most I didn't.

I'm also doing some reconnecting with the past. Just this morning I built a fort on/out of my bed and now I'm watching Pokemon.
Except this Pokemon is incredibly shitty.

And lastly:

"Be excellent to each other, and, party on, dudes!"
