well, It's that time of year again, when all school is let out, and where children enjoy 3 months of freedom. This means that kids everywhere no longer have to turn in assignments and make up tests. Unfortunately for bloggers, that means that this blog site is going to be retired in a few days time. If you ever checked out this website regularly, than let me tell you that after reading this post that there will no longer be a need to visit this blogsite, for there will be no more updates or new entries.
As for the blogsite itself, itll still be here. If you wish to visit any of the older blogs that have been previously posted, you may do so. This remains true for the links to video's and to other websites, and blog sites. Some of the other blogsites might also be abandoned due to the fact that its not required to use it anymore. However if you want, you may go to the main link (that links to all of the other blogsites) and try them out to see if any of them are still being used. If you are willing to wait out the summer, im sure there will be many kids who will have to do this same assignment, and so you may want to watch for Mr. Ayers blog to see if he links to another kennedy blogs link.

im sofa king we taud it
Well if you were expecting an interesting post, this isn’t it. Really, this is just a random blog with a lot of random thoughts and a random title. Actually I’m just trying to fill up space and amass as many words as possible without really typing anything. If you didn’t notice, that whole last sentence was utterly pointless; as was this one.
Ok so why are you still reading this? Don’t you have anything better to do than read this post? Honestly. STOP READING THIS. Wow you’re just addicted to this blog aren’t you? Either that or you like reading the words without stopping to consider the meaning. Hey dumb ass, I’m talking – typing to you. STOP READING THIS ENTRY. Can’t you tell that its just a compilation of random sentences that I’m obviously trying to BS, which means that it’s probably not worth reading. SO YOU SHOULD STOP READING THIS. Especially since the author doesn’t want you reading it. Ok this is getting ridiculous. I told you to stop reading this entry in the 6th sentence of this entry, and I've told you numerous times since then to stop READING THIS EFFING ENTRY. You piece of shit, you just can’t stop can you. OK well here: Anyone reading this entry needs to got get a life and STOP READING THIS. OK, I guess you still didn’t get the message so here: The person reading this essay is an ass, asshole, asswipe, a queer, a fag, a whore, a douche bag, a cross-dressing bastard, a donkey-raping shit eater (courtesy of south park), a DUMB ASS WHO DOESN’T GET THE MESSAGE, a noob, and a im sofa king we taud it. HAHA got you to read it twice!!! Wow it doesn’t get any better than this… unless you can get someone to read it THREE times - im sofa king we taud it. HAHA 3 times. im sofa king we taud it. OK its not funny anymore. Seriously, if you’ve read this entire thing, you need to go -- im sofa king we taud it. Gotcha. Ok now seriously its done; Go away and STOP READING THIS.

Microsoft office 2007 (OneNote)
There’s no doubt about it, Microsoft has outdone itself with the newest Microsoft office installments. The new Microsoft office includes 9 different programs. Of course, there are the classic programs such as Word, Power Point, and Excel. But there are some new programs that are worth checking out. For example there is one program called OneNote. This program is unique in that it lets you click anywhere on the page and you can immediately start typing there. This makes it very convenient for taking notes. And after you write something, you can click on the text box that it appears in and drag it around to wherever you want. And you can also add pictures wherever you want (and click on it to add text). Another cool feature that it has is letting you organize things into a binder/folder. So if I am taking 3 classes, or if I have 3 clients, I can put 3 different folders in the binder and keep all of my notes for each class in the designated folder, instead of having them all saved like documents. And that’s another thing about OneNote – there is no save feature; everything saves automatically.
Microsoft office 2007 (The Original Programs)
Microsoft Office 2007 is sick. Everything has been redone to make the programs easier (even though it contains a lot of the same stuff, but with a lot of upgrades). The classic programs, Word, Power Point, and Excel, all have the buttons from the drop down menus in button format. What I mean by this is, say you want to center the text. You just find the button with the centered lines. If you are unsure if this is the desired button, you can hover the mouse over the button and it’ll give you a description of what the button does. This is helpful for small things that are hard to find. So lets say you want to set margins or print in Landscape format, all you have to do is find the appropriate section of buttons and click on the setting that you want.
The same is true for Power Point and Excel concerning the button simplicity and description. For Power Point, there are some cool new features that are worth mentioning. For example when making a power point, there is a note box at the bottom of the screen that lets you write in notes, which I don’t think I need to explain how helpful that is. Also there are many new graphics and effects and backgrounds that makes power point almost like making a movie; its all so high-tech and professional. There is also a new feature that I’m sure Mr. Ayers will appreciate. After making a power point, you can do a commentary recording. So let’s say you want to make a photo essay, and you need to make a commentary. Simple; you can do it all on Power Point.
And I haven’t really explored Excel yet, so you’ll have to do that on your own.

Opera
Normally, I'm not a big fan of opera. If i was forced to endure an hour of yodel-like opera, i would probably have to kill myself. As for classical music, i can sit through it and occasionally enjoy it, but i don't listen to it on my own. What i mean by this is that my dad listens to classical music and a lot of times i hear it.
Well, for Mr. Ayers' class we've been working on a video essay. Part of the requirement is to put music in the essay as well as words to relay emotion. We did our essay about ping pong. I think ultimately it is an informal essay, even though it does include other genres such as action and comedy among other things. Anyways, at the end we (me and my co-producer) have an epic last match where we wanted some very climatic music. I had an idea of a song called Lux aeterna. The thing is the song is part opera part, part classical music. This is probably the only exception to my dislike of Opera, and it's only part opera.
All in all, this is in my opinion the most epic music around. This can send shivers down your spine, especially when its paired up with the appropriate scenes.

Sumer
I am in desperate need of sumer. It's been too long; as a matter of fact i think that its been so long that I'm not even sure if i spelled sumer right. Oh well that doesn't matter. All that matters is that school finishes and i get a nice long 3 month break from everything. What I'm going to do with the 3 month I'm not sure yet, but as long as I'm not required to do anything, then I'll be happy.
I do have some vague plans for sumer though. I plan on getting a job to make some money. I also have a lot of football practice and weight lifting that will keep me busy and in shape during the sumer. Aside from lifting and practice, I', looking forward to a lot of pick up games (football, basketball, and probably some soccer too).
As far as an actual vacation i don't think my family has one planned, but who knows, maybe they'll surprise me. I remember hearing bits here and there about New York, and to be honest, i wouldn't be surprised if we went somewhere out of the blue. Just over memorial day weekend, we left to Minnesota. We left Saturday, but i didn't find out about it until Friday; it's great being so prepared.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. As long as i have 3 months of nothing to look forward to, i don't care how many surprises show up, as long as i don't have school.

I need a topic
Don't you hate it when you desperately need a topic and it just wont come to you. Ive had that happen to me a couple of time this year, and it sucks. You find yourself just staring at the screen and thinking forever just to come up with a topic. More often than not, it means that when you do think up of a topic, it'll probably just be about something in the room like a printer or how comfortable the chair you are sitting on is. Sometimes you're not that lucky. If you cant think of a topic, you Will probably have to just work on something else until you can think of something or else make a blog post about something REALLY boring.
Even if you are really good at making up topics, you'll find that you start running out of them after about a years worth of entries. This was at one point the case with me. I found that i was quickly running out of topics, even though i was good at coming up with them. So i decided to use a method that would make this task more manageable in the regard of thinking up of topics. The method is writing about topics that are recent; in other words you just write about a topic that has happened to you recently. This makes it easy because 1) it just happened, so its easy to remember and 2) its easy to write about because its recent and it's dealing with you so you'll obviously know something about it.
I guess if you wanted to, you could look at this blog site as an electronic diary. No, actually it's a MANDATORY diary, which is why i'm able to sleep at night. But i dont like to look at it that way. I like to think of it more as an easy assignment that will boost my grade. Either way, only a couple more entries and it wont be a problem anymore.
