Machienzo's NeoDomain

So I was just carrying on about with my day in school today. It was a pretty average day today with a little disappointment at the end, which I'll discuss later. So during my religion class, as I had a little nap and doodled on a scrap of paper, I started to think of NeoBlogs. From there, I started to think of my old blog at Blogger.com. Then, I remembered back to the time I used to post there constantly, and thought why not here more often? So there, I've decided from now to really up my blog posting here. It seems like an okay thing to do. Besides, I need to keep a sort of journal entry for my day-to-day happenings. What good about it also is that you people, the great members of Neoseeker, can actually easily access these posts, unlike the blogger blog which I had to always advertise. So before I continue my rambling, I'll say again, I'm committing myself to posting a blog at least every day or two. Within these posts will be information containing my day-to-day life, thoughts, feelings and whatnot.

I just want to start off by saying that I've been feeling slightly strange today and over the past week. Life just hasn't seemed to be up-to-par with my sort off expectations. It all seems like some sort of prison to me. The best way to describe it is that I feel like I'm in some kind of Matrix. Yes, the very same like the movie. Things just haven't seemed real to me. I feel I'm missing that excitement, that spice for life. It sort of makes me wonder about what lies beyond life. Are we really living in a 'dream world'? I'll talk about this more in later posts.

So what did happen for me today? I had school. What classes? Economics, Life & Faith (Religion/Studies), Maths and English.

Economics
Economics was alright. We spent the class typing up stuff about Income inequality. Oooo, speaking of which, I just reminded myself that I have homework to do about it. Oooooo again, just typing that I just remembered that I already finished that work. Wow, I just created and solved a problem. So anyway, during that lesson I spent most of the time looking through an interesting article about Fallout 3 weapons and whichs ones are best used for which types of characters you prefer to play as, whether that be someone who likes fighting hand-to-hand or maybe a minigun perhaps? Hands up if you like Miniguns.

Life & Faith
So this lesson was, like 4/5 lessons, a study lesson. What is a study lesson to the class? A lesson of nothing. Out teacher is really lax about everything. Sure he may not care about school rules and let us do our own stuff, but he is a very mindful person. He usually brings up very interesting social topics within the class that everyone finds very interesting to join in to. However, in today's lesson he was absent on an excursion. So we had a substitute teacher, whom everyone calls Mr.Vin Diesel, since he's well, bald and looks like Vin Diesel. My good friend was sick today too as I found out. So, during that lesson I simply did my Economics homework and wrote doen things to talk about for this blog entry.

Maths
Maths was very easy. I dropped to an easier Maths class due to difficulties with the other Maths class. This class is however way too easy for my liking. I'm overly enthusiastic for it though, and people say that that will definitely change over time. My friend from last class, being sick, was also meant to be in this class. I took his seat in the corner of the class. He is extremely territorial about that spot. I felt the urge to 'mark my territory' there, but not in the animal way you're probably thinking of (you sick freak).

English
English today, we had to hand in our assignments we had been working on for 3 weeks. I was gutted to find out that this was the due date for the final assessment, as I somehow thought of it as a teacher conferencing lesson. So, I was forced to hand in a draft version of my assignment. We learnt of out next upcoming speech assessment, which was to make a persuasive speech on any topic of our liking. From there, we discussed different persuasive speakers, such as Barrack Obama, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and Adolf Hitler (you thought you were seeing a pattern there eh?). We then proceeded to watch some Obama speech videos for the rest of the lesson. Luckily enough, I talked to my English Teacher about my situation regarding the draft assignment, and was allowed to email a final copy by tonight. I've already done so and am extremely relieved. My English teach is such a nice guy. He's really enthusiastic about life and one of the very few teachers who actually say "Hi!" to you and actually are happy to see you.

Well, that's my day for today. I'm not sure what else to add to that, but I thought maybe I might finish it off with something I found in the archives of my old blog. It was a link to a philosophical site, in particular an article about God. I know what you are probably thinking, that I'm going to preach some hunky-dory load of exorcism on your sinful souls. Well, that's not the case. It's an article titled "Talking to God". It doesn't really condemn any religions belief, nor does it really enforce any of them. Just give it a read, and you might find it interestingly insightful. It did raise a few thoughts by myself at the time I first saw it. It does make you wonder, "What it?".
