Watching movies is a very sad affair for me. I have a few different options when it comes to seeing a movie.
1. I can download the movie when it is released in theaters. All action scenes consist of blurry figures moving around in a blurry fashion. When the battle takes place at night with ninjas fighting black bears, it gets even blurrier. If it is a chick flick, there is not much moving so it is an okay experience. But why would I want to watch a chick flick? I also hear a lot of coughing and sneezing and laughing because it is recorded by a camcorder.
2. I can wait several months, and then download the dvd rip of the movie. The quality of both video and sound is excellent, but there is no one to talk to about the movie anymore because everyone has seen it months ago.
3. I can go to the movie theater. But I always get bullied when I go out to the real world so I like to stay in my room.
4. I can rent/borrow the movie when it comes out on DVD. But I don't.
5. I can just not watch the movie. Just like how I've never seen Titanic. And how I haven't seen 300. And how I'm not going to watch Spiderman 3 until it comes out on DVD.

AP Testing
I have a problem with my upcoming AP tests. Mainly, I'm not studying, as evidenced by this post. Since the NBA playoffs are going on right now, I thought I would relate my troubles to an NBA team. For my beautiful analogy, I chose to equate myself with the Miami Heat, and mainly Shaquille O'Neal.
Study? I don't need to study.
Once the test actually started coming up, I still refused to study. I usually start studying a month before the AP test. This year, I started studying with about 10 days before the AP test. I mean, come on, I don't need to study! I'm awesome. I can take AP tests with my eyes closed and ace them. Now, with about 3 days before my first AP test, I sense trouble. In other words, I'm screwed.
The AP test is the guy in white, and I am the guy in red.
So after my past success with AP tests, I have settled into a passive mode for the AP tests this year. It's similar to how the Miami Heat won the NBA championship last year, and got lazy this year. They didn't really try during the regular season.
Haha, you are an AP test, and I will squash you.
That's how I felt at the beginning of the school year. I aced my other weak AP tests, and I'm going to squash the two I'm taking this year too. Physics? No problem. Econ? No problem. I am king!
Study? I don't need to study.
The AP test is the guy in white, and I am the guy in red.That's what's going to happen to me on Monday when I take Physics. And Thursday too. It's gonna hurt.
That's your AP score, PUNK!
I'm going to get owned.

Decision Making
I am proud of certain skills and abilities that I have that set me apart from the rest of you clowns. I have the rare skill of being able to make smart decisions on the fly. I know that a lot of you can make good decisions, but it usually takes time. In my case, calculations in my head are instant. Ka-ching! Here's an example of my brain at work.
Here's the situation. It's after 5th period, and it's 1:40. I have two options. Wait until 2:30 for a ride home, or start walking home. It takes me 18 minutes to walk home. If I walk home, I get to get started in my daily routine of slacking off and procrastination about 30 minutes earlier. However, it is very hot. If I choose to wait, I will have to somehow burn 50 minutes waiting. I also have no friends so waiting for 50 minutes is a very long and boring task. I calculated the opportunity costs and graphed the aggregate demand and supply graphs, and found the multiplier effect and crowding out balances. Then I chose to walk home with my good buddy Alex Fu.
As expected, it took 20 minutes. I walk up my steps, a tired blob. I look forward to getting into my house and sipping on some cool milk. And then my fast moving brain hits a wall. I forgot my keys in the house.
So I end up sitting in my backyard for 30 minutes thinking about how great my decision making skills are. I'm awesome.

School Quad Back Under Repairs
Just recently another fence has been erected around the stage area in the quad. This is much to the surprise of everyone at the school, even the administrators. Someone very close to the principal has said that he overheard the principal mutter "Where the heck did that fence come from...? I wish people would tell me things."
Everyone had thought that the month long construction that was going on in the stage area was already complete. Four very elegant looking poles had been put up, much to the delight of several students. Person A said "Now the quad looks much more elegant with four giant toilet paper rolls sitting there. Oh wait, those are concrete? Never mind then. Our school sucks." At first, speculation was running amok over what the four poles were to be used for. Popular theories included the foundation for an overhang, a big trampoline, and a playground. However, people soon came to the conclusion that they were just going to stay there and hinder people's views during the homecoming skits. "I already have to deal with fat kids. Now I have poles in my way?" complained a midget.
An interview with the construction workers did not lead to any new knowledge. "Uh... I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm actually just from the local prison. They just told me to push these random levers around. It's actually quite fun. [giggle]"
Our school is retarded.

Bored?
Hey! Ever feel like you have too much time on your hands and you don't know what to do with it? It sucks even more when its a school day right? I mean, just sitting there knowing that you should be doing something, but having no homework to do. Well, I have taken it upon me to help you poor souls out with a hit list of things to do. And don't worry, even if you do have homework to do, you can still follow this list. That is how good of a list it is.
1. Go on AIM
Even though it is labeled as instant messenger, it will easily suck up your time like a vacuum sucks up dust bunnies. For some reason, time just flies when on AIM. It probably has something to do with the fact that there are such intelligent conversations going on, such as debates on religion, the ethics of business, and how to effectively not only poverty and world hunger on Earth, but also on Mars. Actually, the conversations are more on topics such as which fast food restaurant to go to, how to cheat on tests, and laughing at "people of lower intelligence" ( also read as Joey).
2. Facebook
Another great pasttime is going onto facebook and doing... uh... whatever. I actually do not understand how some people can spend so much time on facebook, considering there is not much to do. I suppose you could write on people's walls, and since these walls are for the public eye, try to act witty and smart. Or you could join groups and stuff. But for some reason some people are able to spend hours on there. Obviously I must be missing out on a key feature. Perhaps it is a cool game where you walk around and visit care bears to save rainbows.
3. Get a job
When I say get a job, I mean first find a job. When I say find a job, I mean ask other people for openings. When I say ask other people, I mean ask other people and tangent off into talking about how mean your teachers are. And when I say tangent, I mean take the derivative and find dy/dx. When I say dy/dx, you know I'm a nerd.
4. Eat
Eating only when you're hungry is a thing of the past. Eating a lot will give you cheeks of steel. And then when someone shoots you in the cheek the bullet will bounce off. Also, you could pair this action with just about anything else. Eat and facebook. Eat and myspace. Eat and run. The world is in your hands.
5. Sleep
After doing all of that stuff it is a good idea to take a cat nap every now and then. Now being now, and then being now.
6. Talk about the white plague.
Self explanatory.
7. Play Online Games
Go play online games that are composed of stick figures and which are fun for a maximum of 4.9 seconds. Also, watch flash based animations that are supposed to be funny but only make you chuckle. Lastly, listen to music that totally distracts you. For example, since Eminem music is so widely accepted by everyone, it will not be distracting. Play some System of A Down with your volume turned all the way up.
8. Make a stupid blog post.
This post is an example.
