Well today was my first day of school (yesterday if you want to get technical). It was okay, I guess. The high light of the day was my uncanny ablity to find out where I had to go. I was shocked that I was able to get to my math class and find in one shot. My chemistry class was not that big of a deal since I had been there before. I am not sure if I am going to like my math class, because my math teacher is some foreign exchange teacher.... or something like that. He knows english, but he does not know how to speak english or spell for that matter. The Pythagorean Theorem suddenly became the "Pythagorem Therem" on the board as he wrote it. It took a lot of will power to not laugh and hold back sarcastic remarks, but I did it and soon it was erased off the board and off my mind. However when he spoke you had to actually listen and listen well to figure out what he was saying. Sometimes I could not figure it out till he wrote it on the board. Ugh....I hope my biology class on monday will be better. I enjoy biology, but it would also help out a lot if I liked the teacher and understood what he or she was saying.

Well, college is about to start and I wish it would not. I would much rather sit around the apartment and do nothing than go to school. I am sure that there are people that want classes to start, but I am not one of them. I a still worried about the test results that I still have not gotten yet. It will tell me if I get to take calculus or have to dumben down my math. I feel like I did not pass the test, so I am worried that I will have to take a different class. The only class that I looking forward to taking is my biology class, but that is becasue I like biology. Ugh, here comes the stress of school that I absolutly hate. I try not to stress and most of the time I am able to remain calm, but this is of a different magnitude. I am going to have to try since my parents have to pay for school. Oh well, all I can do is try my best.

As I was looking and talking to people today, I began to wonder "how the hell did you get into this college". I mean I worked moderately hard during school and I worked my ass of on the appeal to get into the school and yet there are people here that seemingly have the brains of a peanut. I know I am not the smartest, but these people are really stupid or they dont seem to have that attitude that you should have in college. You know the want to learn. I know college is supposed to be fun, but your parents are not paying for your education so you can come to college and party all of the time. They want to get their monies worth, just as I do with the dorms, which is why I run the AC 24-7 and I dont worry about turning off the lights when I leave the room. But that is off the topic. I guess what I am trying to say is I think that some people in this college as well as many other colleges dont deserve to be where they are at. There are many people out there that should be in here that are not. Oh well, I cant change big things like that, but this is my life and thoughts, so that is what I am giving you.

Well these are the first days of my college life, and so far all of my expectations have been met. All I need to do now is start classes which takes place this friday. I am not sure why they choose to start on friday, could they not just give us one more day and start on monday. Oh well. Last night a few of the girls from down the hall came to my room and watched a movie (dumb and dumber to be exact). My roommate Marcus watched too, he is a perfect roommate, and does not seem like he would piss me off when school gets going. Oh well I gotta get going, it is eating time.

To all the people out there who read my blogs: I know I posted the same message twice, I cant delete it off of my page for some reason, and I am too lazy to try and find out how. Yes I did delete it off of my posts, but yet it still remains on my site. However, if you look closely the two blogs are not exactly alike. If you are wondering why I posted the same basic message....it is because I click the button one to many times. At first I thought I did not click it, so then I clicked it again, but it turns out I did click it. Ahhhh never mind. I dont have to justify my actions to you people, I am James Alexander Krause dammit, future ruler of the world. So all of you that know me you better be nice, unless you want to be shipped off to the prison island of Madagascar. However, if you are nice, you may get the country of your choice. Some are already taken so you will have to talk to me to see which ones are still vaccant. But anyways, I digress. What was I talking about again, oh well it does not matter.

Well today was the day in which I left my brothers, my cousins, my aunts, uncles, and grand parents. I will not be seeing them till Christmas break. I will admit it was not really hard to leave everyone except my brothers. For some reason when we were all standing there saying our good byes I did not really want to leave them. I guess those little brats do grow on yah, even if they do piss me off all the time. But enough of that, I dont want to think about that now. I have less depressing things to think about. Like that fact that I am going to get to take my TV up to Davis, aaaahhhhhh TV I love to bask in its warm loving glow. I am not taking that measly 13 inch TV anymore since my mom and dad got a good deal on a Ford truck from the rental place. Now I get to take the 27 inch to watch movies and TV on and play Nintendo. My dad said you are going to be carrying it up the stairs, and I said in my head "It will be worth the work."

On a separate note go check out the new Darwin Awards page that I made just yesterday. If you are in to humor, then you have to check out this page.

Damn Instant Messenger wont start, I wonder why. I am the only one that is having this problem. Maybe the stupid people at aol got hit by that new virus and their network is all screwed up. Or maybe something is just wrong with my aim. Oh well, I am starting to ramble so I will stop while I am ahead.

Well I am slowly reaching the end of the line. On Saturday, September 22, 2001 my life will be officially changed; for the better I hope. That is when I get to move into my dorm and begin the life of a college student. To be honest I have been looking forward to this day for a couple years now. Why? you may ask. So I respond. First off I get to sleep in till 7:00 or 7:30, which is sleeping in for those that know me, then I dont have to dress decent and I can wear a hat to class. Then to top it all off, the food is served buffet style. DAMN, is this not the most beautiful thing you have ever heard of. More sleep+buffet+not having to dress nicely+smaller amounts of homework= Great time in college. Then I dont have to drive 70 miles to get home. This is so sweet....*wipes away a tear of happiness* I cant wait. I just hope I did everything correctly so I dont get jerked around when I get up there, which I guess makes me nervous. But my excitement overwhelms the fear and nervousness, so I guess you could say I am neutral.

Miss Cleo sent me an e mail that was only for me, for a free tarrot card reading, boy do I feel special. I bet I am the only person to get an e mail from her....whats that you say?....you got one too?....that lying no good slut Miss Cleo, sending e mails to everyone. I have never been so offended in my life. I will never talk to her again, I bet her damn cards never saw that coming.

Over the past few weeks my mother has helped me out with my loans and housing for UC Davis, without her I would not be going there. I LOVE her very much and I want to THANK her for all she has done. THANKS MOM!

This is a call for all opinions about what took place on September 11th, 2001. I am making a report like thing that will include opinions of the terrorist acts as well as facts and stuff. I will also send you a copy if you want. Remember no opinion is stupid and all will be appreciated. Go here for my e-mail: tragedy opinions (Thanks Steph"for helping me out with the link)


posted by Congofeet at 10:52 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that on the day after the terrible acts my dad and I picked up a buncha the news papers to perserve history. I cant wait till I am old and gray and being able to take them out and show them to my grand children.

I also think I am going to type out the days events, kinda like a story about September 11. Just basic stuff like how I felt, where I was, and stuff like that. I am going to keep it for future reference to these horrible events.

Just yesterday I was watching tv on the bombings and I heard the national anthem played in England and I admit, it did bring a tear to my eye for some reason. I was just so touched. I dont want to sound like a puss or anything, but I know for a fact that I was not the only one that felt a tear come to thier eye, because Peter Jennings eyes were watering too.

I have not been online in a few days, and not much has gone on since then. My rage for the terrorist acts is decreasing, but I am still pisssed off about it. I cant wait till we make some one the prime suspect (most likely Osama Bin Laden) and bomb the shit out of him. Then wage war on the piece of shit country he is in. I was thinking if there was a major war and I got drafted I dont think I would care, I say that now, but I think I would look forward to fighting for the USA. Never have I been so proud to live here in the United States, the only thing I wish is that my Supreme Court case on flag burning was to take place this week. We would see who would win.

Normally I am a very funny and cheery person, but there was nothing humorous whatsoever about the events that took place today. I was highly offended by the events that took place earlier this morning. Never have I felt such extreme hatred towards a person or persons I have never met. I would not piss on who ever did this even if they were on fire. This is display of cowardice and malice will not be stood for by the United States of America. If Bush is half the president I hope he is, he will hunt down the pieces of shit that did this and kill those stupid MotherF**Kers. This just extremly pisses me off and I had to vent. Damn the people who did this! Ever since I witnessed the airplane hit one of the Towers on TV this rage inside has been building. Then they have the gaul to hit the pentagon, our military center. This is a slap in the face of the United States and should not be stood for. I could not wait to get online and vent a little. The US flag in front of my house is at half mast as I wish the best for the victims and thier friends and family. If it is war that these pieces of shit want then that is what the United States should give them. Several countries were quick to say that they had no part in this because they know what is coming, unfortunately there is always shit for brain people that dont understand what the hell they are doing.

I feel a bit better know, sorry for the rambling above, I just hope that everyone agrees with me. Terrorists may try and destroy our buildings and helpless people, but they can never take away what the United States stands for....FREEDOM and POWER.

Today was a great day, I got my credit card and the PIN for my check card. I bought my mario kart for my GBA (with my minor hookups).

On a lesser note I have been talking to my real friends, thier names will be omitted for security reasons. But they have been telling me that one of my other "friends" has been bad mouthing me behind my back. This kinda pisses me off, but I use the word kinda because I find that ignoring the two faced person that is doing it more effective. I am not going to mention the name of the person who is bad mouthing me behind my back, because I am not going go to their level. (I know that phrase sounds cheezy, but in this case it is true.) If this person continues to bad mouth me I am affraid I am going to have to exile this person from my life for a few years until he or she learns to appreciate my friendship. YOU NEVER BAD MOUTH FRIENDS BEHIND THEIR BACK! I HOPE THAT HE OR SHE REALIZES THIS BEFORE HE OR SHE LOOSES YET ANOTHER FRIEND.

Sorry, had to get that out, cuz this is the second offense for this certain two faced person.

Today was a great day in the life of James. Not only did I find out that my roommate likes Metallica and that type of music, I found out that the kitchen in my apartment/dorm comes with a fridge, so I dont have to bother renting one. This is turning out really great, I am totally blown away, and cant wait to get up to Davis.

I also burned this cd yesterday, I call it The Fast and the Furious. Here is the list of songs:

Fear Factory: Shock, One Step Closer, Replica
Metallica: Dyers Eve, Damage Inc, So What
Slipknot: Surfacing, People=Shit, Get This, End Everything
System of a Down: Suite Pee, Needles, X
Static X: Push It, Get to the Gone
Rammstein: Weibes Fleisch
Disturbed: Voices
Non-Point: Victim (demo version)
Wrecked: Take That Shit Elsewhere (demo version)
Puya: Oaisis

Mind you these are in no particular order here. The cd is 21 tracks and 75 minutes long, the most perfect cd of its time. (**tear comes to eye**)

Today was a crappy day. The stupid yards that normally take me an hour and a half to mow today took me three hours. The first thing that was wrong was that the yard was too wet (to my dad- yes I did turn off the sprinklers). Because of this the intake (where the grass goes into the bag) kept getting clogged. So every time the lawn mower stopped picking up grass I had to turn it off, stick my arm down the grass intake and pull out all this wet grass. The backyard of my house was no better. I had to mow it twice (three times technically, since I could not make a full cut). Once on the highest level, then the next time on the normal level, then even the backyard was wet. Piss me off. It took me two hours to mow my front and back yard when it would normally take 45 min. Then after this ordeal I still had to mow my neighbors front and back. Luckily by then the intense heat had already burned off the condensation on the grass, unluckily the freaken sun was out and it was getting hot. It only took me 45 min. to do my neighbors yard, and I was done for the day. The one thing that really gets to me though, is that my brother, Andy, is supposed to be mowing the yard now since I am leaving soon. This was decided like at least 2 months ago and he has only mowed it twice since the rest of the time it was me. Oh well, he is not going to be my problem when I leave.

I was just looking though the Davis website to see what my dorm looks like, and I have made a startling discovery. My dorm is actually an apartment! Thats right, an apartment, but I am still getting charged normal double occupancy rates. This is a great find, I hope that I am not mistaking, because if this is true I am looking forward to Davis even more now.

Nothing has happened today, I finally got the System of a Down cd that just came out. It is a very sweet cd, look for the review in a couple of weeks. (Shameless plug)

I finally got my dorm info today. It appears as if my roommate is Marcus Nicosia from Union City which is up in northern California some where. My dorm is in West Laurel, Segundo Residence Area, but yet my address is Primero Grove, it appears as if I am in some sort of void in between the two areas (Primero and Segundo). Oh well at least I have A/C and carpet. I will probably call my roommate tommorrow (which is later today) and see what the hell he is like. I hope that he is not one of those people I find annoying just by looking at him, kinda like some people at school. I dont mean to hate them by thier looks and speech, but I cant help it.

Today is officially the end of summer for my brothers, hahahahaha. I still got a while till I start college. While I am looking forward to it part of me wishes it will not come. You know that voice in the back of your head that yells S**T, your going off to college, and you are going to be on you own, you dumb ass. Oh well, this summer was a fairly average summer, with the exception of the fun concert, and the weeks of shopping for my college crap (boy was that a pain). Hopefully I will get my dorm info very soon so I can see where the hell I am going to be and who the hell I am going to be rooming with. Steph has already gotten hers, so I am hopeful.

I finally have a checking account now. It is a student one that is free since my parents bank at Wells Fargo. I cant wait till I get my check card so I can use it up at Davis. The first thing will probably be my Gamecube which comes out in November, yet another reason why I want time to hurry the hell up.

I bought a scanner for my new comp. It was the display so I got it for 70 bucks. It is a great scanner with 1200 dpi. I had to go out and buy a USB hub for my damn comp. Cost 20 bucks, I have so much USB crap going into my comp that I had no choice in the matter. Oh well, I have to finish work on my site, I will now terminate transmission in 5...4....3....2....1.....

Well today was my brothers next to last day of summer vacation, suckers. I still got almost a month to go. We went to the beach today, this is the first time I went all summer. We first went down to Carlsbad for a couple hours, then we went up to San Elijo (if that is how you spell it) to meet up with my aunt and cousins. I had lots of fun, it will probably be the last time I see them before I leave.

My room is packed full of crap for college now, but all the shopping is now complete. Thanks to my mom and dad for all the money they invested in my college education, I do appreciate it. Dont worry, it will all be put to good use.
