New Phone Say "Whaaa..."

This should be fun. First post from my new HTC Evo.

This will be the first time my family has been up with the whole phone thing. Usually we're ages behind, so its really exciting.

So, I've had a lack of posts recently, for which I apologize. It really is true that when life is awesome, and not provoking much thought I tend to forget about this thing.

Tis something I still need to work on, but in the way of things I needed to work on, Austin is starting to feel like home. I'd usually feel sad to leave Amarillo and sad to go to Austin, and happy to leave Austin, happy to go to Amarillo. This last Friday/Saturday it was different because I was sad to leave Austin, but happy to go to Amarillo. It was awesome.

Finding reasons to be excited/happy in my sadness, yeah, that's my life's goal.

Well, this post has taken a good 5-10 minute drive, and now, I plan on driving to go get Camron so we can do happy hour at Sonic.

I'll try to post something else later. Adios, and love you all!

Chemistry For The... Wait...

I'm not even in Chemistry, so why am I hanging out in this class?

I guess, even in college I can't help but go to classes I'm not in because it means I'm around my friends. Silly me. =P

So, I've been meaning to update this blog for a while. In fact, I've been  writing pieces of my blog in between important note taking in my classes. Here goes:

So, I've had a lot of time to think recently, more than "usual" because I no longer have Doctor Who to watch. I should add new, because I still watch old ones. In fact, I got a friend addicted , which makes me really happy. The free time now is crazy hard to fill, and I didn't realize how much time was spent traveling time, and dealing with monsters. Haha.

I meant to make this post way back, and started, but the topic ended up switching I think. I was going to talk about books versus shows, because of this one Saturday I spent watching Doctor Who instead of reading. I honestly do not see a difference between books and shows/movies/games. Let me explain. I mean, everyone always says that a book is more intellectual, and shows/movies/games are supposed to rot your mind, right? They're more creative because you have to create the world in your head, and then you get immersed in this world. I think shows are perfectly capable of that. I feel more creative when I watch Doctor Who and Merlin than most books I've read, and boy do they make me think. I'd much rather watch Doctor Who in an hour, and learn a lot about life in general, than read a book over a lot more time, and come away with the same message.

I'm sure I just made a ton of English teachers... What's the living equivalent of rolling over in their graves? Haha, I made them do that, as well as a bunch of people think I'm crazy for even saying that shows beat books for me. I'm sure that I also have a few people who will counter with shows like Jersey Shore, and movies like The Hangover, and Games like Grand Theft Auto. How are those intellectual huh?

Low blow guys... Haha, it's ok, I can counter with Twilight. So, we're even. Basically, I'm just saying that all forms of entertainment are capable of being just as intellectual as things like books. Haha. I'm out, cause this Chemistry class is now over, sorry for the block of text up there. =P

Adios, and love ya guys!

Blogging Is Cool

Oh-Muh-Goodness Gracious!

There should be pauses in between each of those, and if you didn't read it that way, stop right here, and go back and read it again.







Did you read it with pauses? I really mean it. Read it with pauses. Good dramatic pauses.


If you've ever taken a drama class, or been in a production, pretend your character is finding out the biggest secret ever known to mankind. Sure, that works I think.





I'm going to trust that you read it the way I thought it (I would be saying it myself if I were alone and didn't want to bother my roommate.)

On several occasions I have watched Doctor Who and thought to myself, "William, this show might not be all you're chalking it up to be. I mean, I've seen half an episode and haven't got that warm fuzzy-
-
-
-
OH MY GOSH! THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!"

That last part wasn't meant to have pauses. It was the excited "You just saved the world" sentence. So, go read it right.


Anyway, it happens, almost every time I start doubting the show it comes back to prove that my faith was not misplaced. Sometimes I think my blog gets formed (the idea anyway) after I start writing. This one in fact just got formed, it wasn't supposed to have a message/meaning/moral...

Why the "M" words? Did you know there is a movie titled "M"? Yea, me neither till a few days ago.

Anyway, back to the point. But really, that pattern just seems really weird to me. The three words I thought of to fill that word space all started with an M... I wish I could say there was some strange coincidence with all of that though, but anyway, really back to my point that formed like a minute ago.

Anyway, it happens, almost every time I start doubting the show it comes back to prove that my faith was not misplaced. (Granted I just copied this line, the 3 "Anyways" is kind of cool too.) (In fact, there are several sets of 3 in this blog... Which IS really creepy cool because it fits what I'm saying, and I promise you I didn't plan this thing. I don't modify things after I write them. I reread it to scan for sets of 3, and fix sentences as I'm writing them, but if I finish a sentence I rarely go back and fix it. I don't even really reread my posts, just scan them, which may explain several mistakes that got past me. =P

I didn't finish that parentheses pair did I?  )

There, that fixes it, I think. ANYWAY really back to my point.

My faith is never misplaced when it comes to Doctor Who, right? I watch an episode, start to question it briefly, and then remember the reason for all of it. The reason I keep watching. It's more than that though, it's more than I can explain.

You see, my life works the same way. It always has, and I have a feeling it always will. I have periods where I think to myself life is way too hard, and nothing is there to help me.

Here's where the 3s come in, which I realize I ruined by the addition of that last "Anyway" and this one, but at the time it was a valid thing to notice. Sue me.

As basically as I can say it, God. I mean, anything I've ever written, has come from him, as well as any time I've been happy, and every time I've achieved something, and every time I've woken up and gone to sleep. He's always there. Every waking moment, of every single day (as well as the sleeping ones).

Not to go... Crazy Religious (By crazy, I mean street corner religious) in this post, but I believe it's high time I went religious. After all, it's because of that that I am who I am. Every single particle of me screams it out, and yet I think sometimes I forget it, and get caught up in being the person who never over steps boundaries, who avoids any conflict at any cost because everything is easier that way, isn't it?

Well yea, easier, but there is never any fun in easy. =D

I don't think I'd have been able to make it this far without God. (By the way, my thinking the 3s were awesome is because of the whole Father/Son/Holy Ghost thing, in case you didn't know/hadn't put it together yet.)

He's absolutely the reason for my being optimistic, and determined, and... I really hate sounding vain... Sorry guys. He's basically the reason I am the person you know, or read about, today.

I don't think my loving video games, and taking character traits from them, can be attributed to anything/one but God. Perfectly placed in my life at the right moments to mold my awesome human brain into what it is now. I mean, that's just crazy to think about. If I had gotten hooked on different games, I might be completely different. Crazy huh?

I think so. I mean, life is so very perfect, while being so very broken. Every single event that has ever happened to anyone has had to do with their creation, the birth of their character. Speculating is fun, isn't it? Trying to imagine how different life would be if you had gone Left instead of Right...

Yea, it sure is, and I really believe little things become very huge things one day. I only talked about Video Games right?

Crap, there's more than that, so don't think I'm just some Nerd, because I am, but that isn't all. It's every interaction I've ever had. Every smile met, door held, "thank you" said, all of it. If I've ever had any interaction with you you have affected me, and it is so awesome.

You see, it's one thing to life live each day to survive. Just getting by, but it is so much more to live life to live.

That sounds a bit, self explanatory, right? Not self explanatory, just... Like it isn't saying anything... Redundant! That's it. Haha.

It's not, at least not how I'm thinking it. Think it like I am, haha.

So, what do I mean exactly by that? Well, that's where I tell you the one thing you don't want to hear.


Figure it out. =D

My Head, Is Killing me.

No really, I have a massive headache that is threatening to rip a hole in my mind if it doesn't stop soon.

It's weird though because it was hurting a lot at around 5:40ish-6:00ish, before my programming test, but during my test it didn't hurt at all. It felt well enough to breeze through the test *fingers crossed*. Then, as soon as I walked out of the room, my headache flared up again, and I'm pretty sure it's worse than it was before the test, although by sitting down and blogging it's feeling a lot better. I don't want to get up and see though.

I haven't blogged in a while, and it's mainly because every time I tell myself to sit down and blog I decide I have better ways to spend my time, but we all know that isn't true, and I also just get caught up in everything school related that I forget to do anything except classes and homework.

So, here's some recent news. My phone is dying. I wish it would go Time Lord and just rejuvenate and be a totally awesome new phone, sort of maybe. Depending on who it becomes. Haha.

Really though, rejuvenating isn't fun for whoever is rejuvenating. It's hard, and a very sad thing.

I might leave, to go hang out with friends while they eat pizza, and I just hang out. Haha.

Back to my phone though, I think 2 buttons are constantly being pressed, so it doesn't ever let the phone turn the back light off. The battery lasts like... 5 hours, and I can't make phone calls for some reason, and sometimes it messes up the alarms, and it's killing me slowly. Haha.

I'll get back on later to fill you guys in more, but I'm not exactly sure how soon later is. =P

Adios! Love ya guys!
