Woohoo! Today I went to the skating rink for the first time in like 10 years.  During junior high I lived a block away from a skating rink and went all the time and loved it so much, but when I moved to a new town I never went again though I did skate to work on on the city’s bike trail. Anyways, I talked a few friends into going with me in celebration of my birthday week and we had a blast.  I’ve always thought it would be so awesome to own my own rink.  I know they don’t make any money, but it would be such a blast and I can think of a lot of ways to sort of revitalize one.  Until that dream happens guess I’ll just have to try and visit the skating rink a little more often than once a decade.

I have only one more day left of my spring break and I am really sad that school will be starting on Monday.  I love school, but this past week has provided me with a much needed break and I wish I had just a little more time.  I’m been super lazy.  I’ve slept a lot, played a lot of video games, watched a ton of movies, and have even cleaned up around my house ‘just a bit’.  I’ve spent most of today cleaning my bedroom and feel so much better for it.  I wish I had time to clean the rest of my house because ’ something about cleaning and organizing my things and space that helps me to feel renewed, like I’ve sort of cleaned and organized my mind a little bit as well.

I find myself once again really impressed by the layout design of Design Lviv?, I think the theme is called Antique and it definately provokes an image of ancien romance and stability and eloquence to me. I love the colors and the ghostly header image and I really like the rounded bottom right corners of the side boxes with their little flourishes. Normally I always try to design my own layout but I’m new to Wordpress and I do relaly like this theme. It’s a surprise to actually find nice theme designs, usually these sorts of applications come with very horrible generic layout designs.

Anyways, today I’m about to head off to my parents. Tonight is the series finale of my favorite tv show ‘Battlestar Galactica’. Every aspect of this show has been amazing and I am very sad to see it end, but I hope it ends with a lot of closure because so far they haven’t built us up to any. So to the creators of bstar ‘don’t let me down’. Now I’m just gonna cross my fingers till tonight.

Once again I am experimenting with wordpress.  I just updated the version my host installed for me, so hopefully everything went well and I won’t have any problems.  This system seems quite complicated so I imagine it will take me awhile to figure it out.  Awhile meaning I probably won’t get into it too much until this summer gets here with its lighter class load.  However, I’m hoping I can just figure out a lot by playing around.

Anyways… I have been addicted to the web since I first discovered the internet back in 2000ish, when my mom bought our first computer and we got dial-up for the first time.  I started off making anime and family web sites in the msn community scene and then danced my way around the net trying out various host before getting hooked on basic frontpage stuff for a long time.  College has stalled my web growth for a long time, but I’m hoping to finally get myself back out here.
Overall I consider myself a private person.  I’m one of those people that will post a semi-personal blog for about a day or so and then delete it because I decide I don’t want to be that personal with other people.  It’s strange that people say its so easy to open up on the web and I guess in a lot of ways it is, but when I think about it, blogging on the web is like the ultimate form of putting yourself out there.  I mean you have the possibility of millions of people reading your thoughts, feelings, judging you over the smallest details.  Personally, I like to think that other people, especially net readers are more open-minded and tolerant of what they read on the web.  For example, I plan and imagine other people use blogging as a way of not only venting but of rambling and working out thoughts and feelings in a place other than their head.  Sometimes we might say or write things that we say we believe or think but in reality we don’t, we just needed to write it down that way in order to work it out in our own minds.  Well, that’s what I think/feel at this point.  Anyways, in regards to myself and this here blog, thank you for reading but please don’t take anything too seriously.
