Crocodile Hunter Dead
Thought it was a joke at first - but yep… he’s dead now. It’s on nearly all the news - one on Yahoo here. Kinda hard to believe. Apparently he died from being stung by a stingray. Normally that doesn’t kill anyone but according to a bunch of articles, the barb (coated in toxic and deadly as a bayonet on a rifle) went through his chest. He died from the puncture to his heart though - not the sting.
Very sudden - not sure what to think of it…

Broken Wrist
It's broken... not fractured, not dislocated, broken. Both bones. My right hand... the one I use to write with...April 25 2006: BeforeApril 25 2006: AfterWhat Happened???April 25 2006 This is probably one of the most random things that happened in my life. I was playing basketball at school at around 11:45AM. I was running in one direction and one of my friends was running the other way. Trying to run behind him to other other side, I didn't see his shoe out until I almost tripped over it and it was too close to my feet; by trying not to trip over it, I slipped. There was no way at all I thought it was much of a fall at all, so I just put my right hand out to stop myself but I was going forward a little too fast. My hand was originally palm down and flat toward the ground. It folded backwards until my palm was facing upwards, and I landed on hand and wrist, going forward the whole time. Basically I landed on the back of my hand/wrist while it was palm up from the ground.

Wrist Exercises
Well, I went back to the doctor’s again for another check up. They did a few tests and I found out my right hand had less than a third of the strength of my left. :O Ouch…
He gave me a few items that are supposed to help me get back strength: a 2ft strip of rubber band and a pink sponge thing. Amazingly, it hurts to squeeze the sponge -_-
Meanwhile, I got switched out of PE this year by the doctor’s request. One of the only classes still open was Adobe Photoshop. It filled the Art requirement for graduation; plus I already knew alot of it. Might as well get some credits so I don’t have to take Art later on.

Aninotes!
I just found this site today while browsing some forums. Very funny stuff! 
Basically there’s an web address that you put a name into, and it’ll end up using that name in the animation.
Example : wow.youaremighty.com
There’s a whole set at Aninote.com :P

Canasta
Several of my friends from Zoo Admin introduced me to this interesting card game a few years back. It was the first card game I learned that actually had more to do with skill than luck (aka Poker, 21, Deuces... generally luck). You can actually have real strategies set and many ways to play. It's pretty hard to explain, but many people who learned it from me said it was similar to Rummy. I haven't played Rummy before so I wouldn't know. A good tutorial can be found at Yahoo. It's a pretty neat game, though a bit complicated at first. I suggest trying it out at some point if you ever find yourself without something to do.
This is arguably the game I was most good at growing up (I was 12 when I learned to play). I was largely undefeated when playing 1v1. Tournaments were plenty online at the time, and I won most tournaments I entered (I don't actually remember losing any, but just in case lol). At the time, I didn't realize most people online I was playing against were probably much older, so it's still a bit jarring for me now realizing there is hardly anyone in my own age group who plays.
I don't really play it much anymore, but more because of how few people still play. When I do play, it's usually on Yahoo Games. Feel free to leave a comment or an email with your Yahoo ID, what room to meet in, and the time and day if you want a match against me.

p.f.t.q.
This is a question I get asked from basically every person I meet.
What does pftq stand for? Simple.
The p stands for p
The f stands for f
The t stands for t
The q stands for q
I hope that clears it up everyone.

Back..
Ok back for the last time this summer I think… Gah I hate roadtrips. Spending a total of over 30 hours in the car is no good. -_-
Can’t say there’ll be much going on - last week of break and I still got 3 books, a 4-page essay, and tons of worksheets to study. :O

I'm Off Again...
Starting tomorrow morning - I’m going to be gone for a week or so on yet another road trip. No clue exactly where we’re going, but it’s somewhere at least. Just hope I don’t have to be stuck in the car for too long. Spent way too many hours this year already waiting to get somewhere, instead of actually being somewhere.

New Record: Most Online at One Time!
I just came on at some random time today and saw that there were 22 people on the site. :O I checked the Stats Page (Click on the counter on main page) and the record of 20 people on the site at one time had been broken! The new record is 23, meaning if I had been online a bit sooner, I could have bumped it up to 24 Well that’s still pretty good. 23 people… Haha nice!

Tennis Left-Handed
First time playing tennis since I broke my wrist. I normally play many times a week when the weather is good. Well I was feeling good today and my hand didn't seem as fragile anymore - at least I hope it isn't. It was an interesting experience. Every time the ball came toward my right I had the urge to swing at it with my right hand, although I held my racket with my left now. My left hand however had like no skill whatsoever. I was lucky to make any good shots. I often found myself standing in a position ready to swing with my right hand, when I should be ready to hit with my left. A few times, I tried holding the racket in my right hand. It was very very heavy - is all I can say. I actually felt some sharp pain shoot up my wrist so I didn't try it again.
I did get better later on in the game to the point I was able to return the ball to the otherside,...[More]

Strange Visitor in Gallery
Very strange happening today. I was just going through the site and seeing what everyone was lookin at (cause I can ) and there’s this one guy who’s in the user manager (admin panel) of the Gallery.
Now a few points here.
I’m the ONLY admin on the gallery.

NorseWars.com Forum Hacked
The NorseWars.com Forums got hacked again. They were hacked back in January as well. Well that was a close one - I managed to stop them before they did too much. I was actually in the admin panel right as they deleted all the admins - including me. :O I got kicked out but the guy’s name was 123. Obviously he didn’t put much thought into it so I guessed his password was the same - and what do you know it worked! Pretty funny - I ended up recreating my own account, banning him as him etc. For now I disabled new user registrations - incase those guys come back again. That was pretty darn close and I don’t want to go through it again. :O

Left-Handed for a Whole Year
Well I got another check up today on my wrist that I broke back in April. There wasn't really any bad news - but it was a confirmation of what I didn't want to hear. I was not to do any heavy lifting for the next entire year. Completely restricted to a few pounds at maximum. Gah I was hoping after a few months I could start using it normally but apparently it was for an entire year - no joke. Had to cancel my P.E. class the upcoming year as well - so I'm guessing I'd probably take it during the summer or something. Since I have to take it with nobody I know (just about everyone is taking it this year and not the next), I'd rather keep it short.
Meh I can't wait for this to be over

Anti-Stupidity Pill
Just happened to come across this while I was browsing the web today.. Pretty funny title.
Anti-Stupidity Pill
The pill actually reduces short-term memory and boosts your “attentiveness” - basically makes you more aware. I guess it depends on how you define “stupidity”.
