Where have you been?!

Busy, following up on my goals of course! Well, two weeks have drifted by since my last blog and I'm standing in a boat with a 3.9 GPA. It's delicious. Most of my time is in school, and my face in a book. I haven't really had a break from all the crap going on in my life to make a blog until now. School's been going accordingly with the occasional annoyance floating by daily, but I can't quite get this one bug out of my hair. He's someone I am having strong urges to punch in the face, but I've never fought one time in my life. I have since refused to fight him even as he instigates, and fiddles with my books and belongings. He's one of the few who were "Placed" into the 9th grade, near failures. His little possy continues to harass me and my own friends, but I can sense teachers picking up. He's spent the past three days in In School Suspension for disrespecting / arguing with the teacher, and two days OSS for screwing with a emergency shower in my Biology class. It was quite the spectacle. I'm surprised that same teacher hasn't lost her sanity yet, dealing with such jerks.

Lately though, I've been keeping myself entertained with a new Laptop my parents decided to give me. It was supposed to be an christmas presant from them both, but it wound up on my lap early. It's a rather pretty Inspirion 1545. Running 3 Gig's of Ram and a duel core processor. It's a delightful machine, and I've been longing for a laptop for nearly a year. It provides quite an opportunity to blog, and game where I want to.
Along with the laptop, I picked up Halo: Reach yesterday. I've been playing non-stop for nearly 36 hours (sleep included in increments). Already at the rank of Warrant Officer. Playing it is such fun, and a relief from the stress of school and family. But my next "extended" weekend is in two weeks, and I'll be going into Atlanta to visit family. Should be fun.

But regardless, my life hasn't run smoother. I'm making sure my goals are in mind when I make decisions, and my mind is clear and prepared for anything. Lovin' life, day-by-day.

If you'd like to play Reach with me, my gamertag is: Elitesweets

THANKS FOR READING!

How's it going so far?

Pretty good. My goal to achieve a decent GPA is rolling flat. A few thing's I'm dragging ass on right now but those are to be accomplished soon enough. Two weeks into high school, and I've already completed seven projects for separate classes. I've got Biology, World History, P.E. / Health, and Family and Consumer Sciences. Four classes that really are a kick in the butt! It's been fun so far, made a few friends in the first and second bloc. Who knew pwning life would have been so hard! Right now, I've got myself a minor head cold but it's obnoxious from the lack of speaking. I've also watched a majority of the series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, It's now one of my favorite show's I've ever seen. Great storyline, love the immersion. It's been pushing me through these past two weeks. I also apologize for not posting last week, I was rather full with papers to do. Had no time to get around to blogging.

In other news, I've been picking up on learning German. I'm das heute einiges, it' sprichtin stark.


Translation, It's pretty hard. Regardless, My mind set is in motion now, my lifestyle change has been made, and I've picked up on reading the sutra's of buddhism. It's hard to read the English translated version because it sometimes doesn't make sense. Anyway.. Just an update to how things are going. Soon enough, I'll make a habit of these blog's.

New Years Resolution.. Early?

Well. I will be 100% honest, the internet had me in its dark and very large grip. I was stuck with the dicks at the other end of the line that would love to pester you to death, therefore I became one as it quickly became a trend. I went with a community of role-players who were.. not very polite in the slightest bit. But they did teach me alot of things. I made a good friend or two that I still talk to today, and the latter for my Xboxing. These friends were true to nature and by days end I had a very happy and cheerful feeling. I was happy to talk to them. As the time grew upon till this recent vacation, I had picked up on a very LARGE library of information, data, that I needed to sit down and process, think about, over a few hours or maybe sleep on. I pretty much was "All ears open" for these past few days. I've been in an incredibly good mood and it was great. I sit down here a few nights, stirring the pot that really I had made of intelligence that I needed to knead into my normal thought process. I'm basically restarting from a complete scratch, putting everything behind me that I had in the past. That includes alot of my "Friends" from Middle School. As I slowly grow out of touch, I really notice the impact they've had. Negative. The jokes they made with me were crude and.. Lets say, childish. My humor grew out of this very long three year adaption to the crude humor and I had slowly grown far away from the very goofy and socially awkwardElementarykid I was.Things changed, but I believe for the worse. I had some very bad mindsets for months period of time and quickly grew on them. This turned out horribly of course but it probably wasequivalentto doing some sort of drug. But, no. I have never touched a drug, or gotten knowingly close to one. That is the truth. I mean, how could I? I live in my basement. I'm.. slowly.. growing out of it. Breaking off from alot of bad addictions like my games and my god damn communities. I was looking in the deadspace of the internet as I go deeper and deeper. Hellish of what I had become, I was a 12 year old Nazi. I finally got tired of feeling so pissed at the world after I went on vacation, My mindset had such aninstantaneouschange that really, as soon as I got home, I abandoned all of these damned net groups I was in. I'm riding solo, I play games when I feel I need any entertainment which, around these times, is slowly easing off. I'm letting my roots grow out of this basement and out into sunlight. The world. I'll try and be more open and friendly. I'm tired of being the shy one, which I quickly become the "Dumb Ass that won't shut his mouth about your pen." Or something of some random tangent. I don't know. Sometimes I'd have my serious days, which I'm sure most people have, where I'd wake up and go to school and.. Try to talk to the friends I'd normally hang out with about serious things that impact our lives, I tried to spark conversations on our future, but they insisted to talk about the chick who was sitting in front of them. I am finally fed up with this. I don't want to fit in anymore. I'm tired of not being.. myself. My new years resolution starts early. I'm officially changing. I'm not done with the internet, I'm going to still pursue a career into the same field, I'm just done with putting up with the rudeness and crudeness I have dealt with for the past four years. I'm a freshmen now. I'm going to a brand new school. I'm going to make a name of myself. I'm not "Mexi-Melt". I'm Josh Xavier Can-Dela.



This was generally on my mind, and I publish it here.

2 - Goals

Well.

Goals...

A few categorized ideas of my future are quite hard to put out on this text pad. But.. I've been talking with my parents, friends, and friends of the family that are also my friends on this topic for a long while. Well, to be short, I live in Georgia of the United States. I am an "Information Tech Apprentice" so say, to my Uncle. I have picked up on Computers and all that jazz around age 8, after my dad decided to give me an old laptop that was pretty much handed down from him. A big brick Toshiba that ran off of Windows 98 and had 64 MB's of RAM. I cherished it for a long while and I quickly grew accustom to going through the program files and reading all this crap I didn't understand. It took over my daily routine as I treaded down the path of code. Now, to quell any question, I am fourteen. And to this day, I don't know how to properly code. But anyway, on my.. tenth birthday I want to say.. the family got a new home computer. I believe the year was 2004. We picked up a new Dell Dimension 6200.. 258 MB's of RAM, 1.4 Ghz processor, and.. Windows XP. I had a friggin' field trip with that thing the first week we owned it. I learned the basics of diagnosing problems and how to take care of them around that time. A few months later, and I new XP like the back of my hand. I stuck by with that computer until I turned 12, two years later. We had an internet modem. Cable, ran about 748 mb/s. To this day, I use that very same internet. I had my first exposure to the web. I surfed on and on until, I was handed down an old Gateway Desktop PC and an 17 CRT monitor. My parents ran internet into my room from where, I was locked in day-to-night. Surfing and surfing as I read and learned more about the world outside. If I'm correct, this is when I first picked up Miltownkid and began watching his videos. I learned about his fascination and kept a steady eye on his rants. After a few months, I received an old dell model dimension desktop that had a few.. flaws. Keep in mind, this was a major upgrade to the Gateway I had been running. I soon had it running. It had 1 GB of RAM, and an 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4 Processor. This was my main machine up and running till I received the parts for this current machine I've had for nearly two years. 2GB's of RAM, 3.2 Ghz Duel Core Extreme Processor, 1 Tera byte hard disk-drive, two DVD burners and a 500 Watt Supply to boot. I have been upgrading it over the years, nearly putting over $500 into it as of today. But yes, and I've hit a stage in life where, I need to begin setting goals, and heading towards them as Casey has clearly stated through his videos. I now have a job fixing computers for locals in my town.

I apologize, I have strayed from the main topic. History. It wasn't very short but kind of an insight on my life so far. Regardless, I have the mindset to become an Security Specialist. Preferably, development of security software. I have the means, and for the first year's starting salary is $80,000 dollars with a Bachlors Degree.

Thats my dream job.

Goals are as follow, in no particular order.

• Get a new Desktop / Laptop Build.
• Learn how to play an Instrument
• Achieving AT LEAST an 3.4 GPA as a freshman.
• Learn the German language.
• Get my mother to playing WoW xP
• Join the Chess Club

For how basic that list is, those are by far my highest priority Goals for my current day and age. Colleges are being considered but nothing is set in stone of course. Other goals are being thought of, and I will update the list as I brainstorm. Thanks for reading my wall of text, and leave some comments!

Blog Launch

Well. I've had thought in making a blog, and through this process, I've kept the question in mind. "Will I want to keep blogging after this one?" No clue. But, I've got a new mindset after my visit to family in the lower panhandle of Florida.

After watching a few of Miltownkids videos on pwning life, I went to the blog and began reading. He seemed to have it all figured out. Although, he does have alot of people following him. Me? Nah, just a few online friends and RP'ers I used to hang out with. But regardless, School is starting in two weeks. I'm gonna be a freshmen, and I've got a new school. Brand new. Hopefully, I'll have alot of new experiences to share on this blog. That is, if I keep up with it.

Of course, I play games. Hard.

• World of Warcraft
• Halo Series
• Call of Duty Series
• Half-Life and her Mods
• Etc...

If your curious about my details and such, ask me!

And MTK. Thanks for being that extra push. You've been an big inspiration to my life.
