Why I hate Summer and love Winter

I'll try not to make this blog TOO short. I've been doing such a bad job keeping it short, but sour.

Anyways! It's Summer time, and that means no school, going to the beach, beautiful hot days with a chance of rain every single day, and the beautiful nights that it provides. The girls are hotter, the guys can take their shirts off (well most of them) and it's time to hit the pools to go swimming! Not bad for a Summer, right?

Well for me, I hate most of it! Yeah I can stand the hot girls, the pool, and the beautiful nights, but everything else, I absolutely despise! I'm in school for the summer, you know I'm not into guys so shirts off to me is a no no, and you know that I hate random rain most of the time! It just makes things even hotter than what it's supposed to be. Some days are just downright nasty! You could step out for like 10 seconds, then come back in with a gallon of sweat trying to break out! Hell, I gotta bring a gallon of water halfway filled with ice just to survive my "almost" daily 3-mile walk around the circle!

To make matters worse, I hate sweating my fat ass off! It makes me that much more unattractive than I already am. Who'd want to hug a sweaty person? I mean I would if it were a girl, but that's not the point! No girl would ever want to hug someone that's sweaty. Sorry for the hug topic, but I'm a huge hugging person myself. To come home from a walk from somewhere and having to grab a towel puts a toll on me.

To get to know me a little more, I tend to wear darker colors. It's just my character I suppose. When I look at a picture of myself wearing any lighter colored shirt, I feel that I look weird for whatever reason. The bad news about that is that it contributes to making me even hotter than what I already am. At least I don't get sun burnt on these damn walks!

Last but not least, I hate the beach! Last time I went was a couple of years back. Lets see! I put sunscreen on, and the result sucked ass! It was supposed to protect me even when I was in the water, but it didn't. The result: Sunburn on both shoulders, back, and sandals didn't help either! I had a couple of burnt feet thanks to the burning sands. I sure learned my lesson about going to the beach, and that's to not go there ever again! Although there's a good chance that I'll be forced to go back in the future though.

Why I love Winter!

For most winters, it's snow, playing in the snow, wearing jackets and hoods to prevent ourselves from being cold, shorter days, and more complaining about how much snow's on the ground and how cold it is. Oh and did I mention the possibility of ice on the road?

I'll tell you what! In this area, I think Winter is perfect! There's only enough snow to just play in, it's just cold enough for me to handle outside, and we'll get consecutive weeks of nothing but sunshine! At least when it rains, it doesn't storm! This means I can go play in the rain whenever I feel like it.

Because of my wardrobe, it heavily favors me in the winter. I love wearing my hoodie all the time! It makes me really comfortable out in the cold, and I watch as everyone else shivers to death, wishing they were like me! I guess that's how I got the nickname "Chaddy Bear!" ^_^ Because I'm a teddy bear to some people and I love being cold so that I could like, hug someone and be comfortable doing so!

Ok sorry for the very awkward paragraph! Anyways! Last reason why I love Winter is because my brain creates more memories from that time of the year than anywhere else. Plus a lot of Holidays are dated during the cooler days of the year. I know that I'm a 22 year old kid, but I still get some pretty awesome stuff for Christmas! Plus it's awesome to be able to eat some turkey and gain weight without getting bitched at on a regular basis.

And there you go, folks. That's my blog for tonight!
~Stay peaceful! =]

Blast from the Past: FFRz FTW?

Not much I can think of tonight, except to reveal what I guess I can say I was half-talented at. The ability to mash arrows on a keyboard rather than on a dance pad! My profile is currently closed, and I have no plans to return to the website, unless I'm begged like crazy to return! However, I will tell everyone about how good I was on the website. If anyone wishes to play, you can click here! You will be asked to log in. I guess you can click Guest, but if you have an account, you should log in!

I used to be one of the better players on the site. Although I barely ever got any attention from anyone in real life, I would still get random comments on my profile, telling me how good I was and what not. I would even enter forum tournaments! I think I won a couple of Advanced division tournaments (3rd of 5 divisions) and I guess I'll throw stats at everyone.

AAA's: 546
Full Combo's: 791
Skill Tokens: 103
Overall Rank (Peak): 35
Average Rank (Peak): Somewhere in the 90's

Those are stats that can very well be improved due to the fact that more songs have been released since I left in November of 2011. I left the site because I decided that I wasn't really welcomed to the community. Yeah, I had a few friends that I used to talk to back in the day, but I decided to isolate myself from any online friends from that point forward. It was for my own good.

Last but not least, I do have a video on YouTube still lying around that everyone can watch. I was kinda sick when I recorded it, but it wasn't a bad score. Crappy quality, but oh well!

I could take requests for me to play in front of people, but you all will have to let me know! I do suck right now, but you all would probably still be impressed.

And that's about it! Maybe another blog soon? When I think of something! Or you guys can throw some suggestions at me! Which ever one comes first!

Why I chose my major.

Not so hard to believe that back in High School, I thought I wanted to go into the culinary field and cook some of my own high quality dishes. I took a couple of foods classes, and I enjoyed the hands-on learning experience that came with those classes. It really made me want to become a chef! However, that dream was short-lived. After a talk with my parents, they told me that I would be better off into the computer/technology field, and that it'd be more time consuming and time-relaxed than culinary arts.

After going to the list of majors I could go for at Coastal, I chose to go for the Computer Programming route. I was thinking to go into IT (Information Technology) instead, but I knew that I was more experienced with code than I was with operating systems. When I complete my programming degree, I will take the remaining classes for the IT major. It would be a major plus to not only be a programmer, but I can know everything else there is to know about a computer. It's a long and hard route, but it'll be worth it financially.

So what experience do I have for programming? Believe it or not, I used to have StepMania, a DDR program, but you use the keyboard instead. As I was whoring out very difficult songs, I wrote some code into the ".ini" to make my own speed mods. Typically, there's a C400, which means the arrows will scroll as if 1x was 400 beats per minute. I would make my own C mod that would allow me to adjust to my comfort level. I kept making C mods every 25 BPM's until I hit C1000. That way, if I ever adjusted to another C mod, i could just change to it.

I used to remember the Javascript for how to make flash games as big or as small as you wanted it, but I forgot how to do it. I would simply copy/paste the heavily long code over the .swf URL and it would make the game bigger. Also, if you run Firefox, and you wish to view the code for every website, right click anywhere on this page, and view page source. There you will find C++ coding for the website! It's pretty cool!

This summer, I'm going to learn so much more about programming! I will be taking 3 programming classes this summer. I'll be taking RPG, COBOL, and Simulation and Game Development (SGD). I can't wait to get into C++ and Java! Those will be quite difficult, but fun!

Long-Distance Relationships: Do they work?

Time to reveal the true secret to my life. I've always hid this from people, and I guess now I feel like I should tell everyone about it. Well, I've been in multiple long-distance relationships.

Living in Jacksonville and watching Marines take the girls around here make one-of-a-kind people like me kinda lonely. It was kinda that time to pull it off back in the 2008-2010 part of my life. I'll tell you what. The feelings are strong and true, and it gave me someone to talk to all day when I was lonely. Only thing is, I just wished she were there to really cheer me up. In the end, it never happened, and thus, it never worked out.

I'm going to say that I've been in 3 of them. Not going to say anyone's names like last time, I'll just go by experience with that girl.

Girl A: This girl was pretty hot. God she was gorgeous! She lived near LA so I figured she was pretty damn hot. I think she was the only girl I've ever had a picture of as my phone background. She and I were talking on AIM a few times a week, then we started texting. After just a day of texting, she surprised me by asking me out. Of course, being grounded sucked, and I had a phone to mess with (this was back in high school by the way) so I figured why not? She's really cute, even sweeter, and I like texting! This relationship, however, failed after a few weeks because she cheated on me. I just love how a month after I broke up with her, she breaks up with her boyfriend, then she tries to get me back again. It just shows that some girls HAVE to have a boyfriend at all times I suppose.

Girl B: This girl was also gorgeous! I guess I'll say she had a nice rack. She and I had been buddies for like a year. She had a boyfriend when I met her, and didn't even think about her and I even being together in the first place. Well, a month after her being dumped, she and I kinda got closer. Well, I kinda asked her out after a while. After she said yes, I thought that at the time, she was the sweetest thing to ever be in my heart. Even though she lived in Winnipeg, I still snuck the house phone into my room and we talked on the phone for like an hour at a time. Things were just perfect! After four months, I guess the relationship got kinda stale, and we just had to break it off, I felt that if I dumped her, then she'd be happy again, and I was right. She kinda changed before I stopped talking to her completely. She went from being cheerful to being super boring and judgmental. I just couldn't stand it. Oh well. Things happen, right?

Girl C: Lots to say about her. She was really popular when she was in chat rooms. I joined a forum website with some chat built in, and we met there. I kinda knew who she was before, but never talked, until then. We talked a lot for an entire week, then I felt something for her. I didn't think she'd even like me! After she literally asked me out, I'll be brutally honest with everyone. I fell in love with her! She and I were so compatible, that I had many dreams to marry her, but she lived in Toronto, and I lived all the way down here, so it was kinda hopeless. Things just got better and better, but she had her own personal problems. After just over five months together, she broke up with me for pretty much no reason. Let me say that I was so heartbroken. I had such love for her, and we just kept talking to each other. We were best friends since, and we promised that if we ever met, that we'd go on a date as if we were a couple. Of course, that never happened, and then life moved on for the both of us. It was so difficult to say goodbye to her despite being her best friend. Thing is, if I could just pick any soulmate right now, it'd be her, but all good things must come to an end.

Each relationship had a few things in common, but one thing that stuck out like a green thumb. The fact that they never worked out for me. Now I'll say this, though. It could work out. You just need a crap ton of money, which I never had. Plane tickets to see your partner now and again, a phone with unlimited everything, and access to good internet. However, I don't believe that long-distance relationships solve any problems. They'll only temporarily fix solution for a certain period of time. I guess if you want the experience on how to love someone, you can try it. However, a soulmate exists for you in every area in the world. Remember! Climates change, and when they do, so does your soulmate!

MYB and Internet Dating: Worth it?

With a week off school (until summer semester begins) I get some free time every night to write blogs like this. Gotta love non-school nights! =D

And for those who think this blog is lame, shut up, and don't read it at all. I'm not embarrassed to post anything I post here! I just don't mention anyone's name on here.

Anyways! I'm gonna talk about something that I've done in the past. I guess I'll give my opinions and experiences about it, and maybe you'll determine whether it's worth it or not.

I've met a few girls in real live via the internet. Anyone familiar with the website, MyYearBook? Yeah my ex got me to go on that website and try and find some dates. The results were quite surprising.

The object of MYB was to answer questions about yourself, and you get matched with local singles around the area. You add them, hope they approve your request, then you say hello. Of course, you'll find that some fake whores will add you, then you wind up getting some....yeah. Lets not go into further detail. I always decline the fakes anyways. It's always fun to get a few texting buddies! =D

After a few adds and attempts to IM a few girls, I finally get an invite to meet someone! Now I won't say anyone's names, but I'll pretty much tell you how it went with these specific girls.

Girl A: Hmm. She was pretty cute. We walked around the mall and talked about random stuff. Looks good here. After a while, she started talking about her hormones and what not. I thought I got a little too crazy around her. I guess that's what happens when that's your first girl you've hung out with in a couple of years. In the end, we never met again, and we don't talk anymore.

Girl B: Awesome! Just what I need! A cheerful girl! She laughed at almost anything that I tried to make funny. Makes me feel good! Only thing is, after that meetup, I never heard from her again. After a year and a half of wondering about her, I finally get hold of her! Surprising enough, she remembered everything about me! I still talk to her. She's pretty awesome!

Girl C: Started off well. Lots of mutual interests. We hang out again, then I find out the catch. She kinda took advantage of me. I wound up going to prom with her, even though I kinda didn't feel happy about it. Her step dad passes away a year later, then she moves to another state. She and I don't talk anymore since she moved. I thought it was for the best.

Girl D: She was only a texting buddy. After a few phone calls, and the fact that she went from guy to guy, then finding out she had a kid, I didn't think it was worth continuing to pursue anything.

I did talk to many others. Some of them, I texted, but in the end, I met like 3 and a half girls. Yes. The last girl counts as half a meet.

Now for this: Was the experience of attempting a free internet dating site worth it? I thought it wasn't after a while. I think the website is only for immature kids who don't know what it takes to get a real girl. I'm not saying that's every guy, but when I read everyone's status updates on there, I kinda puked at how they typed and how bad they wanted sex. That's pretty much why I deleted my account, and moved on to what's now called school.

I guess if you wish to try the free online dating website, be my guest. I'm just gonna tell you. It's kinda dumb, but if you really want to meet someone in the area, it's kinda worth the new texting buddies.

Click here and have fun! =D
