Finally, I have the elusive iPod Touch! I recently won the iPod on eBay for a mere $200, considerably less than its $400 price tag. After almost three years of listening to countless people ecstatic about the latest apps, I can finally get into the game. When I initially touched (Ha... it's a play on words...) the iPod, it just felt "right". I mean, touching my music, movies, email, and websites is a magnificent and extraordinary feeling.  That feeling of almighty power.

Anyway, after downloading a few notable apps, some of which I will detail in later posts, I was pleasantly enjoying the interactive, touchiness of the iPod.

Speaking of apps, I have decided to showcase one of my favorite apps every week as well as migrating the "Movie of the Day" to "Movie of the Week". So, that way, I can tell you guys about an awesome app and movie one a week. Be sure to subscribe to this blog to know about the latest movie and app of the week.

In order to get off the subject of my new high-tech gadget, I've been taking a summer course in college: Calculus. It's only two, 3-hour classes a week... not too bad. I've been keeping up with all the tests, quizzes, and homework, in order to ace the class.

I think that's all I need to talk about for this post. See yeah next time!

Looking back at what has happened since I wrote the bomb threat on June 2nd, 2009, I feel like I just want to change time. It has changed the relationships with my parents and friends. It has taken over my memories of high school. Even though I had a pretty good time in high school, all of the events that had happened before the bomb threat are almost obscure to me. During high school, I ran in Cross-Country with an award-winning team, made movies in TV Production, and so much more. But writing the bomb threat had masked everything else.

When someone found the bomb threat in the bathroom on that day, I was instantly one of the suspects, thanks to the security camera near the bathroom. I remember being asked to go to the office by Mr. Becker. Then, worst of all, walking down the hall way with Mr. Kind. He kept telling me that I was the last person anyone suspected, that this was just a precaution. I felt horrible. I couldn’t tell the truth, not when everyone thought I was innocent. Not when my parents would be angry and disappointed. Not when I might go to jail. I tried to suppress my guilt, but it just kept on getting worse. So I eventually confessed a couple days later.

Before and after I confessed to my parents, the police, and the school board to the crime, I felt a sense of shame and regret. It was, without a doubt, the worst feeling in the world. I remember walking to my classes thinking that everyone knew already. I started to hate myself for what I did.

The legal stuff was pretty scary. Going to a courtroom is not a fun experience, especially since I had to stand in front of a room of people and answer questions about what I did. Not to mention that amount of fees that I am still paying now as well as the 25 hours of community service that I did.

One of the worst parts about this whole thing is that I wasn’t allowed to go to the graduation ceremony or any of the senior activities during the last few weeks of school. My parents were devastated, and they still are upset about the whole thing. I still think about this whole ordeal, too. Since it has almost been a year, hopefully, I can forget about the whole thing. But sadly, thanks to what I did, whenever I look back at my life in high school, writing a bomb threat will stand out.

So, if you don’t already know, even if you think writing a bomb threat would be a funny prank or joke, it will ruin your memories of high school. Just don’t do it. I wish I would have thought about the consequences back then, but it’s over, and life moves on.

Wow. I haven't posted something on here for a good long time. Well, I'm about to start my summer class (Calculus) this upcoming Tuesday. I'm still working at Taco Bell, though it's been mostly on weekends. Oh, and I started a weekly video series with my brother. Here's a link. It's pretty good, except of the glaring audio sync issue. I'll fix the problem for next weeks show. Enjoy!

That's all I have to say this time. I'll post some more in depth later. Until next time, see yeah!

All of these intense snow falls is getting very tiring. Why can't it be spring already?! The good news about all of this is the amount of school closings there are. I believe I have missed about SEVEN hours of class due to inclement weather. Damn.

In other more exciting news, thanks to a lot of happy advertisers, I have made approximately $115 from all of these sponsored blog posts. That... is.. awesome! I would like to thank all of the various websites and businesses that trusted this small blog to promote your products. Thanks.

This was just supposed to be a small post today, so see you next time! :-)

Today was VERY tiring at Taco Bell... but hey, I get paid for it. Speaking of Taco Bell, the company is going to start selling... get ready for it... shrimp tacos. Ugh, I know! It sounds utterly disgusting and revolting. Hopefully, the food creation department made a delicious concoction that tastes much better than what it is.

College is going well. I already had the first couple Precalculus and Economics exams, which weren't that bad. In terms of my family, my brother's birthday is tomorrow. That's really cool... especially since he's turning 13! I forget being that age... it seems, like, forever ago. Along with my gift, I'll probably post something here tomorrow for his birthday.

Anyway, that's all I want to divulge right now. Thanks for reading! :-)

Another icy cold blizzard in the suburbs of Philadelphia within two months... amazing! I'm supposed to work @ Taco Bell in the morning, but I'm afraid we might not get a lot of customers. College is starting to get a little hectic, but I think I can handle it. My intro to computer science class is awesome! I think that I will love learning about (and pursuing) this profession. Well, I'm just going to cut this short for now. See yeah later!

Oh, and the picture above is not my town. Bing is such a great decision engine. ;-)
