ive realized that i must be..

ive realized that i must be the only guy doing this... now that i th ink about it i can't think of any other guys that i know that write a diary. phhh well w.e.

just a couple weeks until college starts up again for me, i guess im pretty pumped, plus im gonna meet up with my old friend next week whom i haven't seen in about a year, so yeah, i have my reasons to be happy, anything that can keep me busy i like.

So uh.. this "person" actually sent me a message about how to be less of a loser, it (probably a she) mentioned I should be more passionate in what i like... hmm wow, thats like right on the nail right, i feel like im not passionate enough about what i like; even if it's nerdy stuff i guess i feel too scared to talk about it with "normal" friends... well that's something ill attempt to do more of this next semester.

Passions:
Sports
Adventure
Science
Debate
Christianity

Who wants to be friends with someone who doesn't have any passions... or doesn't express those passions? No one.

Anyway, since im only taking like 13 credits this semester i hope to get super involved with some of the sports clubs; rock climbing, soccer, cross country running, they even have a dodgeball team with looks really fun. Hopefully i can get to know more people, the trip i took down to Memphis there was this one church youth group, probably around 20 people, that played dodgeball every evening, i always joined and it was so much fun. But it's not just more social stuff its also i get to be more physically fit which alwyas feels better.

responsibilities... I have none right now, it's a relief but i feel like i've already taken too much time off, i successfully watched the whole "Jericho" and "Terminator" TV series' in just like 3 weeks, yeah, i have way too much time on my hands. I should complete my rail gun im building, i'd be so cool to show off to my friends, or even make a video of it and post it on youtube or something. Probably my biggest problem is power, i can't get enough amperage to the rails to create a large enough magnetic field to shoot; the capacitors i have aren't large enough, i need serious power... like... 5 car batteries in series or something, i wonder if that would work in place of capacitors, i know the physics but ill still have to do my research.
well... first i need to actually build the rails, ill have to stop by the hardware store and do that sometime.

I read an interesting article that really struck me: the reason most revolutionary scientists are young is because they haven't been corrupted by too much education, they've just learned the material and still question it, people who've been in the field really long trust it with their life, being young allows yourself to truly think outside the box. Speaking of thinking outside the box, im trying to get through Dr. Feduccia's riddle of feathered dino's book, quite interesting and quite radical...

thinking of passions again... i love unicycling, im pretty good w/ it too, maybe i should spend more time practicing that? i donno

i think for now ill stay away from woman, i feel like with the situation im in not only will i disappoint them but also i doubt ill be willing to spend the time
