Not lacking excitement...
Today was very interesting to say the least. The most interesting part would have been seeing Tom and his brother James attack each other with a green applesauce substance and then beat each other with wooden spoons. Why did this happen you may ask? Simply put the school needed an opening to check lockers for various contraband substances, so they threw a school spirit assembly to close up spirit week. How eating worms out of a bowl of strange crap, dressing up like clowns, throwing green junk at each other and having a tug-o-war match with 10 people on one side and 50 on the other side supports school spirit is beyond me, I don't understand. I think all that was accomplished today was getting a few kids busted for having different things in their lockers they shouldn't have had and casting the last bit of dignity the school had out the window. But it still wasnt total loss, the Tom and James applesauce whatever episode was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Well thats all for today its after midnight and I am tired.

Paris Hilton's Sidekick hacked
That's right kids some l33t h@x0r(z) h@ck3d h1l70nz $1d3k1ck. For those of you who are not quite as gifted as me that translates to some kid with no social life hacked Paris Hilton's overpriced phone/organizer device. One of the highlights of this invasion was the theft of her address book, thats right the address book of a celebrity who would obviously have other celebrities in her address book. So now if you are very clever you can use Google to find this address book that has a few hundred celebrities personal numbers in it some of note are as follows. Ashlee Simpson, Vin Diesel, Nicky Hilton, Daddy Hilton, Avril Lavinge, Eminem, Bow Wow and many more. Apparently some pictures and perhaps some video were taken as well although I'm not 100% positive about the video I know pictures were stolen aswell. All in all I find this quite funny simply because its Paris Hilton and apparently her password was taken via social engineering, in short she told someone her password. Apparently a man by the name of Nicolas Jacobsen is responsible for this mishap, he is also responsible for hacking T-Mobile's servers as well. But sadly he got busted and will now probably spend several years in jail because hacking is infact a crime and is punishable by jail time and a fine. So remember hacking is bad, you can get caught yada yada yada don't do it stay in school maybe find a girl or something so you arent tempted to start trying shit like this, as funny as it is. That's all I have to say for now. Case closed.

18 Hours...
I have played GuildWars for 18 hours since Friday, and I am quite proud of myself. Everyone should be playing this game, it is just so much fun. Its probably the only MMORPG that is free to play, no monthly fees here. Its got great graphics, great game play and its still in beta so it can only get better. I dont have much else to say because this is all I have been doing for the last little bit. One last thing I would like to add, I will be trying out the google adsense program for my site and probably blog as well. So if you see the google ads on the pages anywhere do not be alarmed they are your friends, dont be afraid to click on them from time to time. It helps me out.
EDIT: I finished the weekend at a whopping 26 hours of total play time :D

Naturally I was right...
The yearbook Valentines Day fundraiser went just as I predicted. It was all in all largely unsuccessful, but I will leave you to judge that.
Firstly the class as a whole had to deal with this poorly organized fundraiser for two weeks plus leading upto the dreaded day. Secondly the advertising was poorly done, I suppose in all fairness not all blame can fall on the people in charge but I'd say 99% of it does. I realize that a large audience needed to be informed in a short amount of time, but better planning would have made this possible. Giving everyone three home rooms and a sheet with what to say will NOT get the job done especially if 3 or 4 groups are sent to the same class. Anyways enough of pre valentines day tomfoolery lets cut to the chase, you are probably dying to know just how much was raked in by this fundraiser. Well we are actually extremely lucky that we even made money. The people in charge of organizing the event decided that we would buy the flowers on Valentines Day, so they would be fresh, it never crossed anyone of their minds that maybe.... just maybe the flowers would be more expensive on Valentines Day. So they ended up paying $1.85 for every flower, instead of 2 for $1.00 2 weeks earlier. So the fundraiser according to Mrs.Gronow made around $50.00 now I have a feeling that number is lower, I seem to recall overhearing closer to $40.00. But that could just be me hearing things, eitherway $50.00 is a pretty dismal figure for 2 weeks of work. With some of the numbers Mrs.Gronow threw at the class on Wednesday I figure about 24 hours of actual work was put into it, which is a lot. Now we shall find out just how much was made per hour. I will break it down for you...
24 hours/$50.00
= $0.48/hour
So there you have it, the "fundraiser" raked in an amazing 48 CENTS AN HOUR. I don't know what more to say, case closed.

Complete and utter bullshit...
Right now I am not in a good mood, not even slightly. My blood is boiling, what I witnessed today was a blatant display of "We need to be politically correct" bullshit. I am sick and tired of having to constantly give in the to slightest bit of opposition, what happened to democracy. Just because a small few find it their job to whine, bitch and generally complain about every little thing because it would seem they have NOTHING better to do. Today in applied designs Ashley informed me that a bunch of captions from the Cooking & Sewing pages had been changed after being deemed inappropriate. So immediately we both consulted with Mrs.Gronow as to why they had been changed, hoping that there was a pretty damn good reason behind it. Sadly most lacked a good reason, which is why I am in such a good mood right now. I will list the captions, then what they were changed to and then the reason behind the change. Brace yourself, because here comes a non-stop onslaught of T O T A L B U L L S H I T...
Exhibit A:
Original: The 3 Mustketeers get rid of those wrinkles.
Replacement: The boys get rid of those wrinkles
Reason: No good reason was given as to why this was changed, the only good reason I can think of is if we had used the whole "3 Musketeers" concept on too many other pages. But I dont think that was the case.
Exhibit B:
Original: Sierra Hamblin deep in creative thought.
Replacement: "Cinderelly, Cinderelly..."
Reason: This one defies logic, the thought that someone decided this was a better caption for a MIDDLE SCHOOL yearbook is really disturbing. Personally I can see Sierra Hamblin being slightly irratated by a quote like this, I know I would be.
Exhibit C:
Original: All my sewers don't dance they just stitch up their pants and thread away. Stich it up, stitch it up, stitch it up!
Replacement: "Is this for the rest of the year?"
Reason: Apparently someone mentioned that the lyrics from the song are not very "appropriate" so Mrs.Gronow or the teacher in charge of making sure the yearbook appeals to the left and the right decided that because the clever caption was based on an "innapropriate" song the caption should be taken out of the yearbook. I do not understand the logic behind this.
Exhibit D:
Original: I got 99 problems, but sewing ain't one!
Replacement: We are "SEW" going to make some cool stuff.
Reason: This one is also because of "innapropriate" lyrics in the actual song. That really doesn't qualify as a reason, I cant think of a good reason as to why this can be considered a problem, heaven forbid someone complained on that ground. Its people that complain about things like that, they ruin everything. They seem to complain simply for the sake of complaining. It really P I S S E S M E O F F.
Exhibit E:
Original: All the chefs in the kitchen "Turn it up hot, turn it up hot."
Replacement: All the chefs in the kitchen say "Spatula, Spatula"
Reason: Same as the previous two, inappropriate lyrics. On a side note the replacement quite frankly sucks, its not even kind of creative. The whole theme of this yearbook, so now instead of using an idea from a song we used "say Spatula Spatula". I am left saying W T F!
Exhibit F:
Original: Stir it up! Little darlings, stir it up!
Replacement: Puttin' on the icing.
Reason: I really dont know, my guess is the lyric crap again. Either the replacement sucks. The kid is stirring a bowl of icing. The caption was fine, shit needs to be pulled together. Case closed.
Exhibit G:
Original: Darcy Sherrington carries his mission to the over.
Replacement: sandwiches are beautiful, sandwiches are fine...
Reason: Not a clue, this just defies rational thinking. Sure the caption wasnt super great in the beginning but the replacement is just straight out bad, end of story.
Exhibit H:
Original: The dynamic duo prepare a feast.
Replacement: A spoonful of suger...
Replacement: For starters they spelt sugar wrong (this was done by a teacher). Secondly the picture doesn't even involve sugar. God only knows...
Exhibit I:
Orginal: Craig LeQuesne having a good time dishing it up!
Replacement: none they just crossed it out
Reason: Mrs.Gronow decided that people would immediately associate "good time" with having sex. I immediately responded with "Is your mind really that far in the gutter" she came back with a long winded story of how if a parent saw something like that, they might complain and then she wears it from Mrs.Churchhill. This is single handedly the saddest thing I have ever heard, if someone complained about that caption I really cant begin to describe the how I would feel. Suffice to say I would be gravely dissapointed. I wish I could go into detail as to how much this frustrates me, but alas I cannot because there are no words to describe the feeling.
That concludes this rant, remember folks do NOT give into society's constant desire to keep things politically correct. Fight the power, be a "rebel" do whatever you have to do. Just do not wind up preaching this garbage. Thank You, Good night.

God she just hit him in the head with a bible....
I was meaning to post this yesterday but I forgot to. My dad was driving home yesterday morning and The Q played this clip on the morning show, its one of the funniest things I have heard in awhile. All of you should listen to it, I just about died last night listening to it. Darren describe it is "fucking hilarious" so it must be good.
Second on the agenda is a very kick ass game I discovered two days back "Sid Meier's Pirates!" this game is just tons of fun. I have been playing all the time, definately something to check out. Lastly I would like to touch on one of the coolest words ever....redundancy. This is a very cool word, it deserves special recognition so there you have it. Special recognition for the word reduncancy"

Not much to say...
I dont have a lot to say today, mainly because I didnt really do anything noteworthy nor did I witness anything noteworthy. Either way I did get a few new games today, I havent been able to play any aside from Morrowing. I got Deus Ex:Invisible War, Morrowind and all the expansions (Bloodmoon and Tribunal) and lastly Neverwinter Nights. These all look like really kickass games and I will play them tommorow or today seeing as how the clock just struck midnight. Tonight has been semi productive, I did Reviews 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 and 6.7. Its still inconclusive as to if the last one will get done. Im falling asleep at the wheel here so im not really sure. Before I doze off in my chair I would like to close with a song of the day.

The Mystery of the Wanted Ninja Revealed
I showed the classified ad looking for a ninja to do ninja related work to Mr.Ross who found it quite humourous. Mr.Ross decided to photocopy and blow up the ad to hang around his classroom. He informed me today that one of his grade eight math students called the number and found out what the ad was all about. It apparently was looking for someone with a ninja suit and "ninja skills" to be in a movie or similar. So there you have it boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen the mystery has been solved. Still all in all that was easily the highlight of the week and probably one of the funniest things I have ever seen in the paper so kudos to M. Davies (that is the name I found when I ran a reverse look up of the number in the article) Hopefully he found many suitable ninjas for the job.
In other news Tom got two days detention for skipping two blocks yesterday and I think Colby got the same but I am not 100% sure. All in all it was still pretty funny, me and Darren will get a laugh out of that for awhile. Nothing exciting to report aside from finding out Guild Wars isnt coming out until March.17 not really exciting news, more or less depressing/saddening news.

"That looks like Colby's bright red sweatshirt"
Thomas and Colby engineered a brilliant plan to escape the confines of the last two blocks of the day. There plan was semi-well planned, their story was they went to the doctor. A relatively shitty alibi, what are the odds they both have to go the doctor on the same day at the same time. Anyways they brought Janine into this little escape plan of theres. The plan was doomer as soon as they decided to escape via the back field. Our French class (the class they skipped first off) is in room 214 over looking the field. This my friends was the beginning of the end. Darren and I saw this we just about died laughing even Kyle had to go WTF are they doing. Needless to say Mme.Coleman spotted them no problem and had a good laugh with Kyle, Darren and I. All in all it was quite fun from our perspective. Thats about all for the day. I shall close with a song of the day.
