9:32 am	A brief tutorial on clapping There are many times when one may decide to clap. Usually, clapping occurs when one wants to show appreciation for a person or group of people, say at a play, a concert, a speech, or even a sporting event. This is the most common type of clapping. The thunderous applause of hundreds of people is enough to boost the confidence of even the most reputable performers and the most agile athletes. Clapping does not always have to be in front of a person. The best example of clapping not meant for an individual would be “the clapper ™”. No doubt most of you have experienced the ease of turning off a light or turning on a tv with a simple hand motion. genius. Now let us talk about inappropriate times to clap. Say someone dear to you has a heart attack, or just got hit by a car, clapping would undoubtedly be taboo. Clapping in a library would also cause more harm than good, as it would not only break the rules but disturb other hardworking individuals. Perhaps the most inappropriate, unfounded, and despicable form of unacceptable clapping can be found on an all too common place, a movie theatre at midnight during the debut of a popular film. Everyone in the theatre is aware of what is about to happen. Surely nobody expected Dolly Parton to appear onscreen playing the part of Harry Potter. In fact, based on the numerous Harry Potter costumes, the majority of the movie-goers that night were well aware of Harry’s appearance. One might argue that the clapping was to show appreciation when their magical hero walked on screen for the first time, but rest assured, he did NOT in fact hear you, and you accomplished nothing aside from drowning out the next few lines of dialogue with your audible idiocy. I hope you are all now very well educated on the appropriate and inappropriate times to clap. May we spread this knowledge with hopes of together being a more effective clapping society. Should I ever come across anyone clapping in a movie theatre again, I will beat them with the nearest blunt object and rewrite this informative essay in their blood. Also note that any pleased bystanders who may choose to clap after seeing such an incident would be completely justified in doing so. Have a good night. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:30 am	Written up... It's 7:30 in the morning and I'm leaving to build a house at 7:40 so this is going to be short. I'm on my way to habitat for humanity, should be fun. So last night we had a small get together down in m16 vwk. Turns out a couple RAs thought it was a little too big of a get together so they decided to write us all up. Me and about a dozen other people got our ID's taken, but we might be able to get some of the people who weren't drinking out of it. Worse case I get a $135 fine and a slap on the writst, but if I get caught again I'm pretty much screwed. So thats the story, see the pictures at public.fotki.com/chenzo hfh time, I'm out.

8:59 pm	We'll all float on anyway College is waysome. So is everything else, except homework. This is the first weeknight I haven't had to do homework until one in the morning, so I'm definately enjoying it. I'm not complaining, but I've never done this much homework in my life. And what am I doing saturday? Waking up at 7 o' fucking clock in the morning for habitat for humanity. Yeah, building a house hung over. Hate to be the guy that has to live there. Also, might be Co-Oping next semester... Depending on where I find a job, I could be living back in Cleveland or still here at Dayton. Could be good or bad... I would not have class but I would miss all my college friends... I could dance with ian though. If i did, I would be going to Italy durring the summer which would be sweet. so we'll see what happens with that. Short update, but I'm gonna go something besides homework. This isn't even a real journal. It's more like lets tell everyone the boring details of my life. But nobody reads it anyway so thats fine. Everything personal I want to write I always decide against because it would piss off one person or another.. maybe I will anyway, I haven't pissed enough people off lately. So keep reading maybe i'll write something interesting next time. Current Music: Modest mouse- Float on (2 Comments |Comment on this)

3:55 pm	Just be c. So it's been about a month since i've updated. I've been too busy/lazy to do much of anything besides homework lately. For those of you just joining in, I'm back at dayton and life is good, except for tonight. It's friday night and I feel like absolute shit, so it looks like it's gonna be me and Barry the whole night. (Barry is the name of our p.o.s. couch we bought at the thrift store for $20. Ugliest couch you've ever seen. And I love him.) It might end up being a good thing, I have alot of reading/homework/stuff/cleaning to catch up on, but odds are i'll just watch tv or play stepmania for the rest of the night. I even feel too shity to dance! Lame! So homework this semester sucks too. I'm completely swamped with it, hopefully i'll be able to keep up with all the shit i'm doing (or trying to do); ASME, Habitat for humanity, and the like. Not to mention intermural sports which will probably be tennis, soccer, and, the best sport ever, DODGEBALL! Yeah, we have an intermural dodgeball team. Fuggin Waysome (copyright K-ton). Last night was quite eventfull too. I had, as usual, like a million homeworks to do. So i'm three problems from being done, three problems which could, considering the classes, take a couple hours, and I decide that i've had enough so i'm going out. Best idea ever. It wasn't really out, I just went to Jon Brett and Rock's room and had a couple drinkys. I came back after a couple hours, and finished my physics homework, still drunk, and then kinda chilled while jared and will finished thiers. Finally got to bed at 3:30, and, needless to say, I felt like shit this morning, which brings me to now, still feeling like shit, but not a hungover shit, like a stuffy nose and a horrible cough, that feels kinda like a facehugger raped me in my sleep and a alien worm is about to chew it's way out of my esophagus. So... read a book, watch a movie, pass out, or get drunk. Depends how I feel. Oh yeah, and whoever hasn't come to visit yet, come down, because I love dayton. and I love you. So come, now. Especially you kevin, because your coming here next year, like it or not. bye Current Mood: sick Current Music: Paranoia Survivor Max Oni. It won't be long now.... (2 Comments |Comment on this)

4:52 pm	GOD DAMN YOU HALF JAPANESE GIRLS!!! My life sucks for the next two weeks. My car keeps breaking, I think i'm gonna sell it, which means I need to fix all the small things so it appears functional. Then I hafta save money so I can buy a new one next summer. I have so much shit to do before I move out, like clean my room, pack, etc. Worst of all, my grandma is in the hospital. Brain Annheurism (prolly spelled it wrong), she's in a coma, they don't know if she will make it. It really sucks because it was so sudden, she was at our family reunion the day before and she was fine. Three more days of work at nordson, then i can finally sleep. In two weeks, though, I won't hafto worry about anything besides drinking and playing ddr at dayton's new arcade!!! WAYSOME! and maybe class... if there's time. Enough bitching, i hafta go do everything that sucks. Looking back, besides the grandma thing, this entire entry could've been derived from my previous entry, so if this was too boring, go read that one. Meh.

8:13 pm	*FUNKING GREEN COW in the FACE HOLE"!?... pwnd Okay so I can never think of a good subject... but after reading Ian and Jake's journal, I realized that subjects don't ever hafto have any relevance to anything you are writing about, or to anything that makes sense for that matter. In otherwords, incoherent subject lines are cool. Having said that, on to my update. I haven't updated in forever... but that seems to be how I start every entry. I've been really busy with work lately... it's hard enough to keep up with ddr much less livejournal.. so whatever, only 13 days left, I'm counting them down... My car broke and I don't even have time to fix that... so i've been driving the minivan for the past week... girls think it's hot. So... what have I been doing lately... well, iv'e been thinking... Everything I do that is fun is with jake or Ian. So updating lj would just be redundant. Everything not fun I do is at work. So here is my new format for a post. just copy this whenever you want to know about my life, and circle one of the choices. (pointless irrelevant subject line) Wow, so it's been a really (fun/tireing/borring/horrible) (week/day). Aside from working 40 hours a week at nordson, which sucked and was boring, I (made up for the borringness/made it even more borring) by (http://www.livejournal.com/users/k_ton/) (copy and paste link, only read paragraphs that contain the word "vince" or "GA king" or "former GA king"). Then, after all that, I decided to (http://www.livejournal.com/users/say_kiss/) (repeat previous action). We'll its been a (re-word first sentence) so i'm really tired and going to bed. (later/peace/out/blah) Vince Ha! finished every update from now until I die. Note: I don't know what quixotic means, I just thought it sounded cool. Current Mood: quixotic Current Music: all of it.

9:45 pm	Quite the eventfull week So it's been a LONG time since I updated. I think last time was before Anchorman... two weekends ago. Definately the funniest movie since Old School. Then was Mallory's party, which was also much fun but too long ago for me to remember details... all I know is fun. Then Me and Stacey's year aniversary... also fun and also a really long time ago. Then monday, the Incubus concert... freakin sweet. They played alot of cool stuff like a remake of drive, and durring summer romance they suddenly decided to break into the milkshake song, completely unexpected and awesome. Jake and I got up front and I randomly saw two people from dayton, which was cool. Then, friday, we left for the land of opportunity... where any college trash 19 year old can order a beer while playing ddr or eating a restaurant. And thats just what we did. Drinking legally was the best part. We actually ordered beer at a place that had DDR! BEER AND DDR! It's kinda like what I had imagined heaven to be like in my dreams, except we had to pay for the beer. We did other stuff to, like i think we maybe went to see the falls once, i'm not sure... we went up the skylon tower, a couple clubs, etc. Buying beer was really cool too. We walked into the liquor store and saw rows and rows of alcohol... that we could legally buy.. It was like being a five year old in a toy store. Too tired to write anymore, you'll hafta imagine how much fun I had cuz i'm not gonna tell you. or you could look at the pictures (many more to come) at public.fotki.com/chenzo Current Mood: jubilant Current Music: Lostprophts, last trian home (Comment on this)

10:50 pm	EVERYTHING SUCKS As you could probably tell by my last post, I'm kinda stressed out today. 40 hours a week is definately too many. sucks i gotta do it for the rest of my life. I have way too much stuff to do and not enough time to do it, but that my have something to do with the fact that i spend all my time bs-ing on the internet doing stupid stuff like livejournal and fotki and going to beachouses and drinking untill 1 in the morning when i have work the next day. Not that I'm complaining, it was definately worth it, it'd just be nice to have more time. About Bre's beach house, it was sweet. I have lots of picutures, but untill i get my fotki up and running you can't see them. I was planning on just going up there to visit after work, but when i got there it was so nice i decided to stay. I had my mom meet me at work with my stuff and i went to work straight from Bre's house. I haven't DDRed in a couple days, which is probably the worst part of everything. It's pretty much the only exersize I get and I get cranky when I dont get my step on. The rest of this week isn't going to be any better, and the weekend will be worse. I have two graduation parties, one more day at subway, walk for life(?), and an aniversary. next week, four days of work then canada. everything really doesn't suck, i just bitch alot.

4:06 pm	Ok so I haven't updated in awhile. Just got off of work at Nordson, and I didn't get much sleep last night because my cousin from Italy stopped over. I decided to make another attempt at starting a livejournal and also a Fotki account so check it out but I will probably give up on it in a week again. Work kinda sucks, I haven't had much time to dance or do anything else fun lately, but at least I'm making quite a bit. This weekend should make up for it, not only is it three days, but it's the fourth of july. Should be lots of parties and not many clear memories of those parties. I saw spidermand at the drive in the other day, pretty much the same as the first with different characters. Most people liked it, I thought it was ok. The premise was pretty much this- genious scientist invents an unlimited power source that is of course, very unstable/dangerous and would destroy half a city if it gets out of control. This, obviously, does not stop him from conducting the experiment in the middle of New York City. For reasons unexplained, he needs huge, unbreakable robot arms attached to his back and tapped into his spinal cord to operate said energy source. These arms have a very powerful AI built in and a special chip that stops the AI from taking control of his body. Although the scientist has the ability to make arms that can't be destroyed by any means known to man and AI that is powerfull enough to take over his personality, he decides to put the chip in an easily accessible place with a easily broken glass cover because, come on, what could go wrong? Evertying went wrong. Then spiderman saves the day. I'm off to step the good step, have a good day. Current Mood: relaxed Current Music: Bob Marley (11 Comments |Comment on this)

3:16 am	stuff So I'm trying one of these journal deals, cuz my good friend Ian says its way cool. Unfortunately im way unmotivated and can't stick to anything besides ddr and tennis for more than a week so don't expect much out of me. pretty much, today I played DDR and a game called "empty the fridge before break." We lost. but at least i'll have something to look forward to when i come back or maybe even bring home. I also played alot of ddr, preparing for the tourney this sat, which is gonna be sweet. I get to go home tomarrow for break, which is cool cuz i can dance with the four and sleep alot, but i'll definately miss college. So this being my first entry, me being tired/inebriated, and the whole waking up for class thing, i'm gonna end this one short, so goodnight, i'll try to be more interesting next time. Current Mood: relaxed Current Music: marley, redemption song (only cuz i couldn't find buffet) (2 Comments |Comment on this)
