Spring break is here!!! FINALLY.

The play is over. Seniors were down. You know how it goes. I'd rather not explain.

Easter went pretty well. I went up north, and it was like a blizzard up there. It felt like Christmas.... not Easter. Ah well...

Bill is confused about life.... but nonetheless, he trudges onward.

Goodnight. This was a pretty worthless entry.

TO MY BED!!!!

WHAT?!!!! BILL HAS COMBED HIS HAIR????!!!! OMFG WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM

2007-02-24T22:19:05Z

Sweet Jesus. I took a comb to my hair. Hell must be freezing over. It looks pretty stylin' I say. I'm going to try for the standard:

Bill = Marlon Brando (Streetcar Named Desire mostly) If that equation holds true, it must lead to another equation:

Bill = Sex magnet = Sex Bomb = Sex Pot = Chick Magnet = ...... etc.

Remember the good ol' days? The ones where you posted an entry and within 1 hour you had at least one comment, and at least every hour there was a friend's entry up. Ah, yes. The time when everyone had to have an LJ. Now, I find myself alone with a couple of people who rarely post.

Enough reminicing (however the hell you spell it).

I'm going to a Shindig tonight, it should be fun.

Um... I think that's it for now.

It has been a month and 5 days since my last post...

2006-12-31T17:52:26Z

So I was thinking throughout the whole time I did not post, and here's the last of the decision regarding this journal:

Come my 200th entry, it's gone. Adios, muchachos.

But the way I'm posting these things, it won't be gone til my senior year.

So what happened since I last posted? Hmmmm.....

Well, Christmas Dance happened. That was fun. Um... I haven't gone to a C.A.P.R.A meeting.... Saddam's dead.... Carl's birthday...

And it's New Year's Eve. Of course. Party!! Woot. Happy New Year's, kids.

Cheers.

Opinion of This Entry: The Nintendo Wii is better than PS3. The only thing Playstation has on that thing is graphics (that and it costs $400 more! WTF)

See ya,

Hello!

2006-11-26T21:14:45Z

Bill is back.... back again.... Bill is back, tell a friend. Bill is back, Bill is back, Bill is back, Bill is back....

So I just got home from up north. I really don't want this break to end.

The play is over. Mixed emotions over that. Kinda happy, everyone was reaching a breaking point, but then I probably won't see half of those people until spring (or maybe until Xmas dance, who knows).

So I went on another teepeeing adventure. That was fun. We left at about midnight, and I basically didn't stop driving my car around (except for a pit stop at Meijer's or at people's houses) until 6 in the morning. Yep. 6. We finally realized when we could see the reflection of the sun that we probably should go home... except for the fact that we were in Shelby Township, which my dad said was in Macomb County. Heh. Longest drive of my life. I felt like my head was going to smash into the wheel, but oh well. It was fun.

Fact of This Entry: Petoskey is a growing town. They're building a huge casino and another mall area, along with several other well known stores.

Bill

I'm not going to lie, LiveJournal is kinda dying.

2006-10-20T01:09:38Z

That famous phrase that I thought I would never say....

"I think I might delete my journal."

I don't know, I'm thinking about it. All I see anymore is Brigitte's entries and sometimes Lauren's, that's it. It's had its ups and downs, and this may be the end of the road. Ah well.

Junior year is screwing me over. Not to brag, but I'm in the top 5% of my class ($10 says Lucas is numero uno). If I drop out of that, I have basically a zero shot at getting into U of M, and Rice decided to throw everything my way. They wouldn't let me take a study hall. I signed up for it, and the next day, they basically crossed it out. I signed up for regular French, and somehow I'm in Honors. I tried to take Latin Honors (a blow off class for you people who do not know), and they said the class closed. From what I hear, first hour has about 10 desks open. Those bastards. Grrr. I have 4 B's in 5 of my Honors classes, and I have to get 3 A's. 3. Who says Rice isn't hard? Pft. They don't know shit.

Oh, I forgot to mention I'm going to Game 2 of the World Series.

Fact of This Entry: The Tigers are in the World Series. Yeah. I'm lazy tonight.

Bill

A short update, but quite amazing.

2006-10-03T01:23:25Z

So I have Yahoo! as my homepage.

If you haven't seen this already, it's quite amazing. The guy can hit a VERY VERY VERY high note. My God.

http://video.yahoo.com/video/play?vid=08f6908bec22de942b9621ad6bd308c6.722639&cache=1

There's the link. What I can't believe is not that he can go that high, but that he can go that high without breaking his voice, as well as lower and increase the height of the note.

Amazing.

Wow.

2006-09-24T15:00:24Z

Wow.

Instead of updating throughout the past month, I'll just update my birthday and yesterday.

Yeah, my birthday was pretty sweet, I'm not gonna lie. I'm 17, I can drive past midnight (legally)! Yay!!!

The Legend of Zelda comes out for Gamecube December 11. I'll be waiting.

So... yesterday. Pretty crazy. To shorten things up:

Crew 9-12.
Picked up the Marvel Heroes Arcade Machine. Very nice.
Rest for two hours.
Pick up Marlowe.
Tailgate with Vince and Marlowe.
Rice end of 1st quarter, 0-0.
Rice halfway through 2nd quarter, 0-7 (I was kind of afraid at this moment)
Rice end of 2nd quarter, 7-7 (St. Mary's eats babies! LOL)
Rice end of 3rd quarter, 7-7 (I was sensing that this could be a heartbreaker)
Rice halfway through 4th quarter, 14-7 (SHIT YES!!)
Rice end of game, 14-7. (WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO)
Head to Taco Bell with Kaiti and Marlowe.
We count Lucas' mistakes with his car.
We get lost.
Marlowe directs us home (Who would've thought...)
Go to Kat's house.
Watch movie.
Go home.
Watch State game with 10 minutes left leading by 16.
Watch State blow a 16 point lead with 8 minutes to go. (And for once, I was watching a heart break, and not the one having a heart broken in a football game)
Reminisce two years ago when State blew a lead (17) to Michigan with 6 minutes left.
Go to sleep.

Good day, y'all.

THIS IS A NOTE TO ALL FANTASY FOOTBALLERS:

I just figured out that you need the League ID#, not the League name.

The League ID#: 148103

And you all know the password.

D.C./War

2006-07-17T17:50:02Z

D.C. was insane. I absolutely loved it. It was hot, with a 70% humidity (BRUTAL), but it was worth it. I saw all the memorials/monuments, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a cop whipping out his gun, the JFK grave, The Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, Constitution....

Yes, a cop whipped out his gun on some homeless guy. It was SWEET.

Ok, so we're walking down the street. Across it, I hear a bottle break and some homeless guy walks toward this police officer. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but what I saw was probably something I won't see for a while. The cop whipped out his gun, aimed at the guy, and probably warned him if he went any closer, he would shoot. The homeless guy thought better, and threw the bottle away. And then the sirens were heard. I swear, cops jumped out of trees. They fly in like insects. It was crazy.

Yeah. That was the highlight of the day.

So. This question came up on some of the ESPN NFL boards, so I thought I'd put it here.

Here's the matchup:

America, Britain, Israel and Germany vs. the World.

Who wins?

In my opinion, the 4 countries win. The U.S. probably has some crazy ass shitastic weapon that could blow up Europe. China only has manpower, not technology. Their military sucks (no, I'm not speaking out of my ass, there's a website that will follow. They can't take out itty bitty Taiwan). Russia would be hard to defeat, because they are a superpower after all, but the U.S. could take them out. Our navy kicks major ass, and would control the Atlantic/Pacific soon enough.

There's my opinion, what's yours?

Oh, and Brigitte, the draft still can be used, but ONLY in a national emergency, i.e. aliens come and attack the earth.

Fact of This Entry: There is a difference between a monument and a memorial. A monument is when the person knows there will be something built for them, but a memorial is built when a person does not know that it will be built, such as after his or her death.

2006-02-22T17:49:24Z

BREAKING NEWS: The Lions are keeping Joey Harrington. Even better, he has been named the starter.

My commentary on this move: Matt Millen again has shown his genius on dealing with players. The only real upgrade that we could get a QB was Kurt Warner, and he was resigned by the lowly Cardinals. With an offensive guru like Martz, Harrington could really develop as a QB. His other coaches didn't believe in him at all, and put all the blame on him. He has taken a lot. He still has a lot of talent. Let's see if Martz can bring it out.

In my opinion, this was an excellent move. I'm sensing an 8-8 to 10-6 season with the Lions (and yes, I'm being serious.) Carl, who smacks the Lions every chance he gets, predicts a 9-7 season. Last year, he picked a 5-11 season, the same record we had at the end. I feel a playoff berth.

Let the debating begin in Detroit.

Bill, excited fan of the Lions, who will soon have a winning record.

Hello.

I need everyone's help on this little problem.

Mr. Shaw, my crazy Religion teacher, wants us to get a song on the meaning of death of the meaning of life.

And me, being the guy who has basically no CDs on that subject, is screwed.

So please, ideas? Greatly appreciated.

Snow Update

2005-12-15T03:07:47Z

Bill's chances of having a snow day tomorrow:

50/50

Why? We're supposed to get the small stuff tonight... which is bad. BUT..... we're supposed to get some freezing rain... which means ice. Ice is enough to get us a snow day.

So... Carl has his rosary out and his mini statue of Mary... Carl says, "Sacrifice something!!!"

So yes, there's your update.

Woowee, it's been one hell of a weekend/week.

Friday was a snow day. And Christmas dance. Which makes the roads slippery. Which was hell, but I made it in and out of Lauren's suberb alive with no injuries. A few skids, missed turns, and confused minds, but no injuries.

We got there early.... and the tables had to be switched around and such. Met everyone... etc.

The dance was fun. I saw so many MRP/Rice/Marian friends that I knew of... which was cool.

Saturday was exhausting. Carl and I got together to figure out the impossible thing called Chemistry. But we mastered it, and soon enough, fought each other over supremacy is Star Wars: Battleground. Carl captured all the planets, EXCEPT Yamin IV. He couldn't beat me in that. It was physically impossible. And then I made a run, and my Rebel army came back...

But then we got the announcement to go sledding. WOOHOO. It was crazy. I "accidentally" tackled Carl on a sled. Then we got some Burger King... and headed back to the cave.

Sunday was just a regular day.

I really don't remember anything interesting from Monday or Tuesday. But Shin did draw a SWEET drawing of a snowman and put it in my locker. Artist.

Speechless.

2005-11-30T20:00:32Z

Today was a VERY BAD DAY. Horrible. Probably the worst I've had since.... hm. I'd have to think about that.

So it started out horrible. I woke up late.... rushed out of the house (I'll make a note here to say that it was snowing). Low and behold, I take my sisters car, which has no ABS. I think you know where this is leading to.

On Maple, I was driving along at 45 mph.... and the guy ahead of me SLAMS (and I mean SLAMS) on his brakes. Well, being used to an ABS type car, I slam on my brakes as well. Except that I'm on ice. With no ABS. So I skid out, which I have done before, but this time was different. Last time, I had room to skid out. This time there was a sidestreet with, GASP! Another car pulling out. What luck. So, I'm trying to steer out of the skid, which was impossible, SLAM into the curb, basically spin my car into a stop sign, and land in some grass on another person's lawn, and then I finally stop.

That whole sequence took about the amount of 2 seconds.

Probably one of the top 5 scariest moments in my life. So yeah, going through my head all day was that, replaying the motion over and over and over... (during the crash, I was thinking, "Is this REALLY happening?" I thought it was a dream at first.)

I realized after the crash that either I had some super 1 in a million luck, or either some freaking miracle happened. The area between the car in front of me and the car on my right was so small, only a Hummer could drive STRAIGHT through it. And note that I was weaving. I had no control. God was there... or either I had an extreme amount of luck. It could've turned out a hell of a lot worse. A little kid could've been on that corner waiting for the bus... I could've got hit by the car on the right and been shot into oncoming traffic, and I don't want to even THINK of what would happen if I went into there.

I'm putting this as a Public entry... I want old and new drivers alike to learn from my experience. It seemed for everything to go in super slow motion, but scary as hell. Drive safely, slowly, and CAREFULLY in this weather. It can happen to ANYONE. It scares the hell out of your parents, my mom was stuttering over the phone.

"Hey mom. I... got into a skid."

"Are you ok?! Just take a deep breath... and go along."

"Mom... I hit a stop sign and am in some guy's lot right now. I hit a curb."

Silence.

Me: "Should I call the police?"

"No... you don't have to unless you hit another car... did you hit another car?"

"No."

"Ok, then you can just leave."

Needless to say, I got to school late. I lost my elephant tie like RIGHT after Lauren gave it to me.

Ugh. So if I'm not my usual self, that's probably why. I'm scared and shocked out of my freaking mind. I'm not physically injured, just mentally mauled.

HELLO!

2005-11-22T22:41:33Z

I'm about to have dinner right now. So when the microwave dings...

Oops. I forgot that I should put the veggies in last... its about 1/10 of the size of my super, extra-large serving of pasta with chicken, and now the veggies are about sizzling compared to my luke warm serving of pasta.

Now, I need ALL OF YOUR HELP.

I have figured out iTunes, downloaded it, and with the $10 Gift Certificate I received long ago from my parents, I have bought 3 songs.

I have cash for 7 more.

And with limited money, I want to choose them carefully. I have Stayin' Alive on another CD...

And I bought the following so far:

Dancing Queen (Yes, I know)
Another One Bites the Dust
And, of course: Listen to Your Heart

With that in mind, hopefully you musical people out there can find a few (maybe a tad more than that) songs to suggest. That classical, upbeat stuff is what I like. Please, I need suggestions. I can't remember all the oldy songs I used to like, hopefully it will jog my memory...

And with that, I leave you to your thinking. This is a once in a rare chance that you can get your family and friends to participate, this is a PUBLIC entry. Gasp.

Ok kids. I'm making this friends only now, for reasons not to be named, or maybe I'll name them later, when no prying eyes are looking (hint hint). For you who read and don't have a livejournal, GET ONE (hint... Shin, Kaiti, Kat... etc.) I deleted EVERYONE off my friend's list... comment to be added.

Heh. I like the picture.

So. This was one crazy weekend.

First. the Rice game. Amazing. Carl and I painted our faces orange and black, which was a sight to see. It's on Brigitte's camera. Hahaha.

So I did my Drama 1 pantomime today. There were only two people that went: Kristin and me. We both had the same idea, fishing. From my perspective, I destroyed her (Yes, there is competition in pantomimes), but that's up to Mrs. Smela.

OH! There's a huge Chemistry test which I need to do well on, I have a very low B. Of course, some of the kids in the class are failing, and I'm doing better than Carl, so that's what counts, right?

My fantasy football team is sweet. I beat Lauren, and the next person on my schedule is Lucas. Whoever wins that game is the only one that can challenge Carl, so really, I need to wheel some deals quick so Carl doesn't run away with an undefeated record.

Crew was great today. It seemed though that it took forever to just end. I remember asking young Hess what time it was, and he said 4, when I thought it was 5.

Oh, if you're wondering why I took my crew icon off, I'm just using it for special occasions.

Random Quote of This Entry: "It took me 5 minutes to rub, and then it finally came out!!!!" ---Lucas, lunch time. He was talking about his orange hair... but we all thought something different.

Good movie. Excellent. Winner of the, "Bill's 5 star award." I suggest you are see it once. Or twice. Or how many times you see it. Although it does seem more like a guy's movie then a girl's movie, but there is some romance...

Anyway. Yesterday was fun. I, and many others, saw the Exorcism of Emily Rose. Scared shitless like the many others. We filled up the whole row!!! That's how many of us there were. Amazing. I'm tempted to call Lucas later tonight and scare the hell out of him, but I've decided against it. You lucky dog Lucas.

So tomorrow is the Rice game. Carl bought orange and black facepaint, along with orange hair dying stuff. Should look neat on us. Maybe we'll recruit Lucas and Shin to paint the letters 'R, I, C, and E' on our chests to look stylish. I guess we'll see.

Lonesome Dove is a very... dirty book. "All I want to do is get a poke in Lorena." Yeah... take that in the worst way possible. They talk about whores almost every paragraph. It's insane.
