The weekend was too short. If we agree to make each hour during the week one minute shorter, then the weekend can be two hours longer. That's a start.

"Relativity Of Wrong" by Isaac Asimov
www.hermiene.net/essays-trans/relativity_of_wrong.html
Anonsage
Just spent time reading it because it was by Isaac Asimov. And it was worth it. The essay talks about how no theories are "right" but how some are more right than others. He bashes Socrates which is fun.
"Right" and "Wrong" are not absolute.

School Soccer Season Starts Soon
IM soccer starting next week. For me there will be coed Mondays 10pm and mens Wednesday 10pm. I love it. I haven't played a real game of soccer for over a year now because of deployment. I'll see what skills I've retained when I go to practice today.
Other IMs coming up: Sand Volleyball, Softball, Racquetball, 5k Run. And I though I was only going to do soccer this semester. haha.

Week Reflected
I don't usually have the time to sit down and think about how my day or week went, but I'm loving this weekend. I don't have to do any work until Sunday. Last time I had free time was over three weeks ago.
Why I have loved this week:
- I've played a sport a day since last Friday (table tennis, flag football). Last Sat was over four hours of IM flag football that I'm still hurting from. Sunday was IM basketball, Monday was racquetball, Tuesday/Wednesday was volleyball, Thursday was indoor soccer, Friday was free running (I thought about dodgeball, but couldn't go through with it), and today was two long hours of tennis at the hottest part of the day. =D
- Linear Systems (math) test on Friday which I have done maybe eight problems from over fifty assigned from the beginning of the semester. So, I was really worried about it and the possible proofs that I would have to do. Turns out that half the test is proofs and I find out that I'm pretty good at it subconsciously. Because consciously I had no idea what I was doing, but I just kept writing for them and it worked! The grades aren't out yet, but I'm sure I got a 100%. =D
- My first full song on the guitar that isn't just chords... Blackbird by The Beatles! It's a real motivator because the faster I play it, the better it sounds. And it already sounds pretty good at quarter speed lol. And I got Nightmare Before Christmas sheet music. =D
- I've counted thirteen websites/blogs that I'm running/like to keep track of. It's on my to-do list to combine some of them.
- Met up with two good friends that I haven't seen in over a year. =D
- It's great to remember things that make you happy. =]

Chicken Corn Chowder Taste Test
Chicken Corn Chowder has always been one of my favorite foods. And I just had to find out which is best canned brand that I could get because going to the oriental restaurants is not always ideal. Only two brands in this little experiment, Campbell's Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder & Chef's Cupboard's Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder.
Taste test results: Chef's Cupboard is much better than Campbell's. Both of them taste great and have chicken, corn, and potatoes in them. But, Chef's Kitchen's brand has probably twice as much corn and chicken which really enjoy.
Campbell's brand came from Winn-Dixie. Chef's Cupboard brand came from Aldi (and is less than half the price).

back
I just need to write something because I haven't done it in a really long time lol.
It's almost Christmas time again, I know I'm enjoying my shopping and break from school. It's just about the last long break I'm going to be having in a while because I will be going over to Kuwait for a year. I'm skipping a year of school that means. Hopefully I'll just be able to return like nothing has happened..

Squidoo
I'm surprised that I have just found out about this site. You create simple one-page topics that you are interested in and if people view your page, then you get money.
It's the simple version of making your own webpage, and adding adsense to it. But, you know you will get visitors to your page at http://www.squidoo.com/.

The Math Instinct
Why You're A Mathematical Genius (Along with lobsters, birds, cats, and dogs) by Keith Devlin
Interesting math book that I've started reading. It begins with describing how babies younger than a two years after being born recognize numbers and can do simple mathematical calculations. Also apparently many animals and plants do natural mathematics that compare to humans' calculus, trignometry, geometry, et cetera...

Honors Class
My next post will be on the film that my honors class is watching, titled, "What The Bleep Do We Know?"
It's a good movie, especially for those who like to think.

Universal Health Care
In my English class I have been writing a paper and researching lots about healthcare, and more specifically, universal health care in Florida. I also have to take action to try and advocate change of something, in the form of a letter, YouTube video, email, or any other possible way of communication.
So, I have become very knowledgeable about Florida's health care, and somewhat of the USA's health care as a whole. If any reader is doing a project like this, then I can email my links and notes that I used for it.
Want to discuss universal health care in general? Please do so in the comments. Maybe I'll make a forum just to discuss recent news... hmm..

Early Memories
Today when I was talking to my friends we went down memory lane. We tried to say the things that stood out in our lives when we were young, like in elementary school. And now I want to store that list on the internet so that I will never forget it. Please add to the list via comment if you can think of anything else. I'd like to read your stories.
- AR (Accelerated Reader) - A reading program designed to make children read, test knowledge on what they read, and score points to trade in for prizes. This program started at my school when I was in third grade and it definitely gave me an incentive to read. I became the top reader (leading in points) at my school and in the cafeteria it showed that. All along the walls of the cafeteria showed who in the school had the most points and there was no other guy who ever came close to getting the same amount of points that I gained.
- Four Square - The best game ever when you only have four squares on the ground and a kickball in hand. There was also the game in middle school, and not really popular in high school. I tried my best to bring it back, but failed unfortunately.
- Kickball - The best game ever when you only have a little bit of space on the ground and a kickball in hand. And see above.
- Nap Time - Too easy. Got it in Pre-Kindergarten (and Kindergarten?), didn't have it the rest of elementary school, none in middle school, none in high school (well, not supposed to in class at least), and college grants more sleep during the day than at night. ;)
- Number Munchers / Super Munchers - I was always great at mathematics and definitely showed in my first grade class. I would always finish math (and other assignments) way before anybody else and I was allowed to play learning games on the computer (remember 5" floppy disks?). Needless to say that I got the high school on the computers. And I was kinda upset that I never saw or played the game past elementary school. But, I never forgot about it and within the past year have found the game again. I'm happy. :)
- Oregon Trail - The object of this game is to get to Oregon. You must cross rivers, hunt for food, and keep your wagon in tip-top shape because at the end of the game you get to entirely change the game style and ride your wagon down a river. I think I liked it, but was more in to Number Munchers and Super Munchers.
- Pokemon - Which led to Digimon, Yugioh, and other cartoons and card games also. I liked to watch Pokemon a lot when I was small, but never got into the card games because I didn't have lots extra money to spend it on cards. My parents taught me well.
- Power Rangers - So cool with all their jumps and flips and taking a minute for each to change to their shiny uniforms.
I will add more to this post later, I like to be organized.

First Impressions
To get things started for me, I'm just going to post a few things about me.
The reason I have started this blog is to gain some personal insight to blogging and blogging sites and hopefully I can give some blogs that readers will appreciate. I have never done a blog or wrote a diary before. And a great thing about this is that I can keep my notes available anywhere/anytime. It is possible in the far future that I am grateful for making this blog. I don't know why though..
Another thing that I am currently learning and working on is learning web coding. I took a web design class in high school and I'm trying to remember everything now and using my school servers to host my experimental web pages. If you can give my any tips on coding or programming, then I'd greatly appreciate it. Mysite: http://djgoodwi.myweb.usf.edu/
