Alright. I have a few things I need to do over break. Some things are more important than others.
They are in no particular order, but I will number them.
1. Create new Logo for website.
2. Completely revamp my website.
3. Work on radio station website.
4. Play Assassins Creed and Bioshock on my pc.
5. Think about ideas for Seminar.
6. Practice with new camera.
7. Have fun.
8. Create some new videos or animations.
9. Get some freelance jobs.
10. Get my foot in the door for a possible summer job. (and maybe my other foot in the door of a possible after college job)
As you can see, it is important I bring my PC home with me for break. For most breaks it begins with everything constantly happening with friends and family. Soon, it slows down and I find myself sitting in my room doing nothing or playing videogames or something. Well this break It looks like I may have some things to do while in my room.
Also for your enjoyment. My new freddysign.com ad:

psychologically, physically, or emotionally ill?
So thats the question, whats the answer?
I guess I'll give you background so you can interpret what the answer may be.
Today, like every weekday I work at the Middle School from 6am to 2:30 pm outside pulling weeds, etc. The last two days I have went golfing afterwards, walking 9 holes. I have played two horrible rounds of golf, about a 20 stroke difference at least for the 2 days added together compared to what I have been shooting regularly. Now here's the main information:
Today I started out playing mediocre, but not horrible. It started getting quite a bit worse after 4 or 5 holes. About the middle of the 6th hole I hit a bad shot that really made me really really angry, then my breathing kinda got abnormal and I was breathing really hard. Then in a few minutes I felt like my arms were tingly. The last three holes I focused very little, and actually got a 9 on the 7th hole.
Now here's where the question comes into play. I kept thinking that I was just acting like I was exhausted, and acting like my arms were tingly and acting like I was breathing hard because I was just so angry and wanted some kind of excuse to why I was playing bad. I mean I didn't say anything, but I felt like that might have been what I was doing. Or maybe I was possibly just actually exhausted from 10+ hours in the heat today. Or maybe I was so angry that my mind made myself feel that way.
So the question is am I psychologically screwed up because I was just making it up? Am I physically screwed up because I was in the heat too long and it just took over me? Or am I emotionally screwed up because I have the ability to be so angry that it makes me ill?
In other news, towards the end of writing this blog I have started losing my balance a bit and down feels like it is moving.
bye

Golf.
Alright, I'm happy. I'm golfing good. Finally. After always working at it and trying so hard for so long... it has finally come together for a few rounds and I hope it stays this way. In the last month I've only not broke 80 for 18 twice I think. I have shot a 75, which is my best 18 hole score, and on the back nine of that round I shot -1 (34), which was my best 9 hole score. Today I just played 9 holes (front) and shot -2. I had 4 birdies, one of which should have definitely stayed in for eagle (9th hole, my drive went left of the sand trap that goes around the green, so I had to hit a flop shot over the bunker and on the green as close to the bunker as possible because the green sloped dramatically down. I hit a perfect flop way in the air, and it rolled into the center of the cup... but the pin hit it and it stayed out. I made birdie though.)
Other high points of today's round:
a very long drive on one to about 25 yards to the green (but a slightly thin pitch shot occurred when a driving range ball landed near me on my backswing)
A long straight drive on 2, over the creek that I almost always lay up in front of, but didnt get up and down for birdie
Wind with us on short par 3 third hole so I hit a 115 yard sand wedge shot pin high and made birdie
good safe drive on 4 right in the middle of the fairway.
Very long and straight drive on 5 over the creek that I usually lay up in front of, but botched pitch shot to end up with bogey
mis-hit drive on 6 but still decent shape and 210 yard 2nd shot to green (par 5). Hit a nice long draw around the trees and ended up right and short of the green by just a little bit, then chipped it, not as close as I wanted, but made the tough hard right to left putt.... then did my famous hip thrust celebration... then noticed the people watching me, who continued to stare for a while.
hole 8: very good drive into the wind right down the middle to 100 yards out... pulled 2nd shot left and long but hit an excelent lob wedge on a tough green to get up and down for par.
#8, had wind with us so I hit a 9 iron on the 149 yard par 3, and ended up on the left fringe about 6 in from green... was going to putt, but it was a long putt and i felt better chipping... so i chipped it in for birdie.
#9 hit a decent drive down the right, on this short par 4. It usually hits the fairway and kicks left on the hole, but it kicked straight and was just right of the green and bunker, but pin high... I already told the story of the flop shoot though.
so that makes a -2 (33).
Sorry if this bored you, but I'm crazy.

Some Thoughts
Why is it odd for someone to run somewhere? I even feel odd when I decide to run to where ever I'm going. I still do it a lot. I do run when I'm late, but I also run when I have all kinds of time. Sometimes it just feels easier than walking, and it gets you where you are going in half the time.
Why is it that now I have more free time to do what I want, I just end up bored?
Am I weird for not really wanting to be super rich, or at least if I was rich, super fancy? I'd like to eat more and have a few things of my interests, but a really nice car and house don't interest me too much. And don't get me started on jewelry. Too Late.
I have a problem with a lot of jewelry. I mean I know I'm a guy and most guys don't wear a whole lot, so I may be biased. I feel like jewelry among other things (fancy cars) are for the most part status symbols. That big ring says look how rich we are! I'm not against all jewelry really, because you can wear it to not be showing off how rich you are, just like you can get a nice car. I'm not against good cars, I'm just against status cars really.
Why do I keep playing golf... which turns out being the one sport that has probably given me the most trouble. I'm better at other sports, but here I am, obsessed with golf, playing it at college, playing every day almost. For example, the other day I was swinging really good and had maybe the best golf day of my life... then 2 days later the swing was gone, and I was back to struggling. It could make a person go crazy. I still love the game somehow. Maybe I'm a masochist... I did used to love long distance running... THAT eventually hurt too bad, and I can't stand it anymore... I wonder if golf will mentally injure me like long distance running did.
Why are certain things called childish by self-proclaimed adults, when the things they do (and most adults for that matter) are more childish. I do a number of things for fun that people may consider childish. I play video games, lazer tag, ping pong, I make immature jokes, but I feel like those things are the things I do for fun, while someone who may call me childish is probably fighting with a friend and not talking to them, they are planning revenge on someone that said something mean about them 2 months ago, and there's a million other examples.
A few things kind of suck:
its not what you know, its who you know... that kinda sucks.
you have to lie and cheat to get ahead... that kinda sucks.
you can't trust anyone... that kinda sucks
I coulda gone on... but I"m done typing. I think I'm going to go eat some Don Tequilas!
and please dont think I'm some sort of nut!

Sorry
I should be doing some other stuff now...
anyways I was looking at the warped tour lineup for this summer (I know its early)(and don't call me lame for thinking about warped tour)(or if you do, say it in a nice manor)(please)
anyways, these bands will be there:
Bad Religion, Big D and the Kids Table, Bouncing Souls, Flogging Molly, NOFX, Streetlight Manifesto, Westbound Train
I mean there will be others, but those are the ones that matter. I'll probably go this year.

25 (semi)random things
random things about me
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I shouldn't even be doing this right now. It is 1:17am and I should be starting my homework.
2. I sometimes wonder if I'm more of a geek or a jock. I don't really think I'm either, but I love computers and electronics. I wear thick glasses, and I make geeky jokes. I also play about any sport you can shake a stick at, and I'm very competitive in them all.
3. I made two (or actually more) websites for myself when I was younger (7th grade-so. in high school) but haven't got around to making a current one, even though I'm always planning to. I guess I can thank facebook and myspace for the delay.
4. I'm planning on creating a series of shows for the youtube. All in the colormation effect that I've been messing with. The name is picked out in my head by not confirmed yet. Some friends are planning to help a lot. It will be funny. It will also take the world by storm.
5. Sometimes I think I'm funnier than people appreciate.
6. Sometimes I think that maybe I'm a little full of myself.
7. Sometimes I think I don't think enough of myself.
8. Sometimes my sense of humor includes my own inside jokes. I make good jokes that only I get.
9. I also continuously make fun of some things by doing them so much that people think I'm not making fun of something. Like how people answer the phone, "yyeeellloo"
10. For most my life I've always been a really nice person, but I also have the ability to be a really big butt hole.
11. I enjoy food a ton.
12. I'm on a diet right now. 35 pounds by the end of the school year (gain). So far I've gained 6.
13. My girlfriend is great, and knows I'm crazy, but hasn't ran away or institutionalized me.
14. I really like the show, LOST, and I've followed it the whole time. It is really exciting.
15. I would consider myself open minded when it comes to music, but I've also found what I like and I'm not going to waste my time listening to a bunch of country and rap to find music to listen to.
16. btw, I like ska music and punk music mostly. I also branch off in other directions.
17. I don't think I can ever make up my mind when it comes to sports:
Middle School: Baseball, Basketball, Track
Fresh HS: Track, Cross Country
So. HS: Baseball, Cross Country
Jr. Hs: Baseball, Golf
Sr. Hs: Baseball, Golf
Fresh College: Golf
So. College: Golf
Jr. College: (who knows!? haha)
18. I wish I could always find people who can compete with me in: basketball, ping pong, tennis, golf, racquetball, and other sports, but its hard to find.
19. I have a Nintendo Entertainment System in my room.
20. I built my computer (sorta... with help!) and it is NICE. It can play Crysis on full settings! Nice step up from ps2.
21. I truly believe my pc has better graphics than ps3 and xbox 360.
22. I sometimes let my inner geek come out too much.
23. I enjoy embarrassing Alecia in many ways. Usually noises I make and things I do.
24. I'm starting to really think of some good ones, but I'm running out of spaces to put them. Now that I think about it, saying this is very counterproductive.
25. I wish I had an energy drink right now, since its time to start my homework. Its been a long time since I've had an energy drink though.
I'd also like to mention that I'm blind in my left eye.

Golf Team Raffle (HELP!)
Hello, this may be my first blog that actually serves a purpose (other than just to write and entertain, etc).
The golf team is underfunded this year so we need to produce more money for traveling to Hilton Head.
We are doing raffle tickets. The prize is a $100 Wal-Mart gift card. The tickets are $1 each, $5 for 6, or $10 for 13. If you'd like to get more we can work something out.
So, I am asking through this blog if anyone will help. Any help would be appreciated very much. You could also win $100. The odds aren't too bad.
Just get in touch with me somehow (in person, facebook, email [trentfred at gmail.com], phone [6185427088], yelling, myspace, youtube, snailmail, etc). I can take cash, checks (payable to Blackburn Golf Club), Paypal, and probably anything else you can think of that would work.
Thank you

Facebook, videos, and copyrights
Today I get on my facebook account and I had a notice that told me that they deleted my "colormation" because of copyright infringement. It said that if I try to reupload, I could be kicked from facebook. Nice. Especially nice since the video was not copyright infringement in any way. Here's the "infringing" video of me trying out an effect and talking to the camera, or my brother or something:
It is bologna that they did this. I have no idea how this is infringement. Some people say we shouldn't complain because we aren't paying for facebook (or youtube). well I say a few things: If we aren't paying for it how are they getting rich? donations? NO. advertisement. If we weren't paying and there were no ads, then maybe I shouldn't complain, but I am paying through the ads.
I'm mad about this, but the thing that is really annoying is how much farther this can get. Next thing you know it, more things on the internet will be uber-regulated. That kinda kills a huge advantage of the internet, especially with sites like youtube and facebook.
I would maybe understand taking the video down if I was trying to make money off of it, and I actually had some sort of infringement. I would also expect some complaint from whoever I was infringing. I've seen people's videos being taken down because they had some independent band that they were trying to promote's song in the video. That makes a whole lot of sense to take that down.
Anyways, I'll cut this rant short before I bore you.

uh oh, old habit
uh oh... I hope this isn't the beginning of a resurgence of an old habit. Maybe its just a one day thing. Its 1 and I've procrastinated too much. Writing this blog in itself is very counterproductive.
I can sleep some other time. right?

We'll tak a cup of kindness yet
Well today is new year's eve. Tonight there is midnight, then tomorrow is the beginning of a new year.
Are you ready diet industry!? Make sure you are well stocked.
Sell it fast, these usually don't last for more than a few weeks.
Mine usually don't. Well unless I make a lame easy one. Usually I just propose to be a happy person or something stupid like that. I kinda want to gain weight. Thats a little opposite of the usual resolution, but I'm serious. I need to hit the golf ball farther and also maybe make layups against bigger people.
So I don't know if thats my resolution or not. It will count as part of it.
Anyways, isn't this type of thing like wishes? If I tell you will it not come true? OR at least I won't have the shame of failing and everyone knowing.
In the end my new years resolution is going to end up just as dumb as usual. I'm thinking, "going a full year without peeing my pants" is a good one.
Have a Merry New Year.

I have had an addiction for awhile, but it is really becoming serious now. I guess I should have seen it coming with Christmas coming around and everyone asking me what I want. I could tell them, but they wouldn't understand. They wouldn't know how to get it, or they would find a way, but it would seem impossible and dumb. So I don't exactly tell what I want. I just generally say what I want. Then I tell how I want it. Anyways, enough of that, back to the addiction
My addiction of late (this year) is a serious addiction. I may be going to my first OSA meeting next week before the problems really compound.
I have what they (by they, I mean me) call OSS (not to be confused with OPP), Online Shopping Syndrome. I truly don't believe its a problem, but most drug addicts don't think they have a problem either. Its just so great. Everything is online. Its usually 10x cheaper than anywhere else. I can research and not do too much impulse buying. Sounds great eh?
Well there's a dark side. I have become a super-researcher when it comes to stuff online. I spend countless hours figuring out how to get the best deals on the best stuff, the stuff that will make my happier. I figure out price to happiness ratios. I become a semi-professional person in whatever field I am thinking about purchasing something from.
Recently it has been computers. For this whole thanksgiving break I have spent a great deal of time looking at computers (because the one I am typing on apparently isn't good enough). For a long time I wanted a ps3 (or a wii, or a 360), but I have had a change of heart and mind. I've decided, no, no console, but I want a PC that is better than the consoles. I really believe this is the most awesome idea I've had in awhile.
Most people would say, "to do that you would need a fortune." Thats when my super-researching comes in to play. I have been comparing and contrasting every part of a computer. What do I need? what can I skimp on? What do I need to pay more on? is the 8600 gt good enough or should I upgrade to 8800gt? or is the 9600gt better than both? will it matter if my mobo (motherboard) isnt good enough? is my mobo good? Will this processor be good enough? I need a newer one. No not quite quad core, dual core will do me fine. but what is the difference between a 4000+ and a 6000+? is it worth paying more for? How much ram? Will vista require me to get 20gb of ram? how about crysis? will this setup be good enough for Crysis? Oooh, Crysis, lets compare games now. Pure looks better on the pc? awesome, crysis requires a great pc? is mine great? I think it will be... unless i stick with the 8600gt. Oh and call of duty. If i buy this game for my computer, will i turn into the rest of my floor? will i start acting and dressing like them? will i hear myself yelling at my monitor like i always hear. and will i be yelling at a different game than contra?
Do you see what I mean? thats the the tip of the iceburg. Those thoughts have been going through my head constantly... plus way way more? oh wait... will those deals go down since it wont be black friday anymore?
Are you beginning to see why I can't tell anyone what I want for christmas... at least detailed... i just say either Money or money towards this computer.
I dont (usually) say I want the AMD Athlon 6000+ Dual Core CPU Asrock ALIVENF6P-VSTA MB (Ethernet, High Def Audio)4GB DDR2 800Mhz RAM 500gb hd, dvd+r dual layer burner geforce 8800gt with vista premium. That would just get strange looks... ask alecia. She's given them to me a few times.
Even if the item i wanted was simple, I don't really know if i could tell them. Since my addiction has started, everything I see at stores (mainly electronics) I say, ha, like I'd by that here! Its surely on the internet for half that price (and it probably is).
So it kinda does sound like the internet is great. Easy to find stuff. Easy to research stuff. Better prices.
That causes problems. Easy to find= would i have ever bought a golf simulator if i couldnt find it online? easy to research, could i have been doing something more productive with my time? better prices= would i have bought that at all if i didnt see the good price?
In concussion, my conclusion to the whole thing is that I do have an addiction, but I don't want any help. I like the internet. Everyone is lucky I have no money right now (spent it all on golf simulators and ping pong paddles, and 100 golf balls), or i'd buy stuff.
My addiction of late (this year) is a serious addiction. I may be going to my first OSA meeting next week before the problems really compound.
I have what they (by they, I mean me) call OSS (not to be confused with OPP), Online Shopping Syndrome. I truly don't believe its a problem, but most drug addicts don't think they have a problem either. Its just so great. Everything is online. Its usually 10x cheaper than anywhere else. I can research and not do too much impulse buying. Sounds great eh?
Well there's a dark side. I have become a super-researcher when it comes to stuff online. I spend countless hours figuring out how to get the best deals on the best stuff, the stuff that will make my happier. I figure out price to happiness ratios. I become a semi-professional person in whatever field I am thinking about purchasing something from.
Recently it has been computers. For this whole thanksgiving break I have spent a great deal of time looking at computers (because the one I am typing on apparently isn't good enough). For a long time I wanted a ps3 (or a wii, or a 360), but I have had a change of heart and mind. I've decided, no, no console, but I want a PC that is better than the consoles.

Jet Audio
Good news everyone!
I finally got sick of Windows Media Player (it would not recognize that I had ANY music on my pc for some reason now)
I downloaded Jet Audio, thats much better, BUT it wouldnt work with www.last.fm (site that keeps track of what you listen to... check mine out! :MY LAST.FM Page
But i looked up some stuff and figured out how to get it to work. It took a little more work than it should have, but now it works.
I should have been studying for my math quiz that I have in 13 minutes.
I also shouldn't have been writing this blog. Its taking my time and YOUR time. sorry.

Now I'm going bite my tongue
now i'm going to look like an idiot, because here comes a vague depressing blog... you know, the kind that I was JUST making fun of.
this will be shorter than the last one i now decide.
here it is:
Now that every single constant I had in the last 3.5 years is gone. Now what?
Am i going to be stronger from what didn't destroy me, or am I destroyed.
I could name the constants, but I won't for now.

Tonite, Tomorrow, and the Present
few things to say real briefly.
1. I'm glad my tv finally got the hd channels and the movie channels... No comedies on reg. cable can compare to this.
2. I'm playing ping pong in the ping pong tournament in springfield tomorrow morning. I will lose.
3.I didn't win bingo.
4.My pc keeps crashing.
Bigaboom bigabang.

Dumb Blog #476
Here it is again. I'm writing and you once again are not reading (by "you" I mean "most people" [I'm not stupid, I know YOU are reading this]).
I think I should start video blogging, or Vlogging as they call it I think. People are reading less and less and watching more and more, but on the downside, YOU would have to see my face everytime (or maybe I could think of something else) and I would have to not look horrible everytime. For example right now I'm blogging (not vlogging) and I look like crap, but it doesn't matter. It also doesn't matter that I'm going to have to go to the bathroom half way through this since time is not a factor when you I'm typing, but it is if I'm being recorded.
(bathroom break)
(15 minutes later)
anywho, where was I?
oh yeah I was talking about a bunch of nonsense. Now I'll continue.
So here's an idea. to get lots of people (over 3!) people to read this blog, I will mention a bunch of names so people will see them (I know how interested you are in yourself).
Here we go. Trent: you suck
Alecia: You have been sick (as have I [oh yeah world, forgot to mention, I've been really sick so if you've seen me lately and thought i looked like crap... I also felt like it.) I love you.
Chuck: thanks for getting me subway and medicine, or taking me there, no thanks for taking my pc from me for so long (3 days) and making me pc binge tonite. I guess the joke is on you though, because you've probably suffered through this whole blog now. HA!
Travis: you won't read this, so i won't bother
Tiger Woods: thanks for being on the cover of my latest obsession (tiger woods 08 for pc)
Timesplitters 2: thanks for being such a great videogame.
Golf Channel: thanks for giving me stuff to watch.
Trent: you've lost focus on the reason you are putting names on here
Alecia: 2nd mention
I quit.
I should have said this earlier. Everyone go to this link: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/showdown/PreviewArtworks/174925 and look at my picture, and give me a 10 or whatever you think! Voting doesn't start til later though.
