Anyway, I have not updated this "diary" if you will in quite the span of time. However, in the spirit of academic pursuit, I'd like to make public a little wager of $20 I had with my friend T. Ly. Hopefully this post will not make null my status in the wager.
Perhaps, it is best to relate the context of our situation which pertains to the seminal theory that "procrastination" and "internet" do indeed "make you stupid." Our wager is that we would not use any personal computer for recreational purposes in hopes of enhancing our academic experience by promoting achievement and success. By making this public, I hope we will have some third party bear witness our endeavor. With this in mind, we acknowledge that this wager is personally maintained and relies solely on our honesty with each other.
Much of this abstinence from electronically based recreation is based on the web and the list of sites we hope to ban from our surfing habits are listed below (this is not the entire list as some of these sites only one of us visits/some have overlaps/some we barely ever use at all):

(most e-mail/school related sites)
My friend has included some other video sharing sites and there are some complex and intricate rules that I will not discuss for the sake of maintaining a sense of brevity of what's going on. I will no longer update blogger until August 3rd or a later date. This will serve as a reminder.
Tangent: Hopefully this will turn out as well as my venture into vegetarianism. At first I tried it out for 2 weeks and it worked just fine. Broke the record and ate plants only for an entire month. Felt fine. This summer I have broken the 1 month record with an astounding 1.5 months of being a vegetarian. Optimistically, this "temporary" abstinence from internet based recreation will be longer lived than the instituted wager. We shall see. (This will show great mental fortitude.)

Please stop trying to have sex with me in public
Most people I know don't realize this but I'm attractive on the molecular level. That's why the ladies are drawn to me oftentimes subconsciously.

Alternate Endings to an Imaginary Film
So it goes,
That nothing ever happens
the same way twice
Only some beauty,
In that the wide ocean
mirrors the sky
Land of Nod,
Some lead sleeps heavy in
those weary eyes
So it goes,
That nothing ever happens
the same way twice
Some means to meaning...
Our Alternate endings
to Imaginary Films
Sometime scripted
in 1917
in black and white
Sky at war,
Violent reflection of
a turbulent sea
Kingdom Hades,
Here lead buries our
fond farewell
Ghosts
So it goes.
So it goes.
That nothing ever happens
the same way twice
Only some beauty,
In that the wide ocean
mirrors the sky
Land of Nod,
Some lead sleeps heavy in
those weary eyes
So it goes,
That nothing ever happens
the same way twice
Some means to meaning...
Our Alternate endings
to Imaginary Films
Sometime scripted
in 1917
in black and white
Sky at war,
Violent reflection of
a turbulent sea
Kingdom Hades,
Here lead buries our
fond farewell
Ghosts
So it goes.
So it goes.

Double Quarters: My 2 Cents on Women (A Guide to Women)

This is what Double Quarters has been working on for the past 2 months. Unfortunately, he had lost some of the my photographs and he is quote "I am so pissed off." The article is still in the editing process. It will take a while but pay attention boys, this guide will get you the "ladies." In a press conference regarding the delays, Double Quarters, reiterates "If you want pussy, you've come to the right place. Read up cos' brother, knowledge is power"
