The Gauntlet
A lot has been happening recently... Both here at the forums, and in the real world. I, too, have gone through quite a number of events in the past few days... Before I explain to you what this blog is all about, why don't we backtrack a bit...
8-5-11
We took a trip to the Ohio State Fair. It was good, and I especially liked the Skyride and their Hypnotism Show! They also had a small amusement-park section with rides I decided to stay at for a while. All-in-all, it was a good day.

Two words: Havoc Construction. I was only able to access online for about 20 minutes, before my bedroom came tumbling down... That's right: A paint job. One heck of a paint job at that! I'm typing this from my basement, as my room is still under construction... First off, let me just say that my room was originally my brother's room... Heck, it looked a bit, um... Immature? Considering the original wall color was yellow... Yeah let's go with immature. I decided to choose a rich sapphire-like blue for the new color. I must say it looks pretty darn good! Next, the wallpaper border... Man, that was the most embarrasing part! Guess what the border was: cars and buildings. Well, it's about time we rid the room of that! Currently, the room is in the process of painting finalization. I won't have my computers set back up until later today, so I can't play MB for while...
Some week... Eh? Now, on to the main event!
August 17, 2011
Just guess. Did you guess? If you guessed school, then you're correct. It's only 4 days away! I'm nervous mostly because this time school will become very different: Homeschool. That's right. I'm taking online courses... My mom says she wants to do this for the next 2 years! I fear that then I won't have much of a social life... Thank God for Facebook. The advantages state as follows:
- Sleeping. Seriously though. I can really get up whenever I want. My mom was talking 8:00, but I think I can talk her into 9:00 .
- Online advantages. Now, while my dad gets real strict about me being addicted to these forums (which I'm not, if you haven't noticed ) and checking them every 5 minutes (Haven't you noticed it's been about 24 hours since my last visit?), I've still got that avantage because I'll be in front of a computer all day. Maybe he'll relax on FB; not sure though...
Can't really think of much more... The worst as well as the best is yet to come, maybe.
September 1, 2011
To this day, things will change. Why? Because September 1st is my birthday! And not only that, but I've got quite a number of surprises for you guys coming. If I told you now, they wouldn't be much of a surprise now would they? But whatever, if you want to know the outline of things, here you go:
First off, my mom is giving the full weekend (September 1-4) to do whatever I want. During this time, a series of events will take place:
Weekend of September 9th
I'm going up to Pennsylvania for a trip to my great-grandmother's house. She lives in Alabama now, so their house in Pennsylvania now belongs to my grandpa. It's been passed down through generations.
Whoo, that was a good 20 minutes of typing. I think this might be my biggest blog yet, but incase it isn't:
I think that should do it. You know what else I've been noticing? My Marble Blasting skills have been impoving! I think that as I was striving for MBE records, it made me a better Marble Blaster! Now I REALLY wish I had access to MB! I remember, just recently, I was going into MBP, and I beat a number of personal records. Same with MBG! Well, I'm getting exhausted - See ya'll!

-
September 1 (Thursday) - Olive Garden! It's my favorite restaurant, and I'm visiting it again!
September 2 (Friday) - The main day! Today I'll be having my pal, TJ, come over for the night. He and I have a lot in common; we both love working in FL Studio! Speaking of FL, perhaps you should know a few things...
- Music: I can't promise you I'll be releasing a track around the September period, because nowadays tracks take me a looong time to finish! However, I will try and get Soviet Dream, the sequel to Soviet Prophecy, finished.
- Tutorials: Expect them! Amun-Ra gave me a good program to work with, however I am still having some issues...Though, since I'm sick of waiting and since you're sick of waiting, tutorials will be coming one way or another!
September 3 (Saturday) - It's a bit embarrasing to tell my plan for today, so I won't. Today some surprises I was telling you about will be coming.
September 4 (Sunday) - I told my mom she could have the day off today, but apparently I was wrong on that one. Honestly, I don't know what I'm planning on for today. Maybe more surprises? Oh yes, because I can't keep them from you!

I love you, but your attitude is like that of a shrew. Your options? Take a pill or be my kill. Might I suggest that you wear a vest. Perish in class or be banished to the land of bluegrass, where dreams don't exist as you'll be eternally pissed.
, but it has made me one of the most popular people in my school, so it kinda levels out.)
