A late night blog. Yay!

First of all,



Second of all, Im tired. I wish I didnt have a funeral to go to tomorrow (no, Im not saying who, and dont apologize or anything. I dont need it.) Im really just writing this blog to get some extra credit for some more entries. Yeah. I just finished my alphabetical poem. That was fun. I played "Portal" yesterday; The greatest video game ever made. Seriously, if you guys ever get the chance to play it, do so. I bought new shoes today. The Sales lady was a jerk, I wanted to shove the loafer down her throat. Ok, maybe not, but she didnt have to be so mean. Meany. aaahhh, Im so tired, Im writing this with my eyes closed, Ill spell check it later. Yaaawn. Heh, that funny. I have so much computer experience that I can write with my eyes closed. lalala, look at me type with my eyes clooosed! Jeez, I really need to cut down my computer time. I met Ms. Lombardi, the old chorus teacher, at the mall today. That was nice. GAAAAH! I DONT WANT TO DO THIS TOMORROW! IT WILL BE SO AWKWARD! so I really want to be in a civil war reenactment. That would be so cool. I want to be a confederate cannoneer. "EAT LEAD YOU YANKEE PIG! YEEEEEHAAAAW!" Or a union cannoneer "EAT LEAD YOU REDNECK PIG! WOOOOOOOO!" yeeeppp. I want to research my family history. OH! I got my haircut today. That was nice, Sal always does a good job. Ok, Im falling asleep, and its nearing midnight, so I think Ill end this blog. Good night everyone!

Every Morning, I die a little inside.

The sharp beeping of my alarm clock

starts the downward spiral.

My dry mouth feels like I ate

a jar of cotton balls.

I try to fix it with a nice cup of strong coffee.

The smooth flavor fills my mouth.



I walk out into the freezing air of morning

Ready to begin my day

I stand at the bus stop, shivering,

waiting to get on the dirty smelly

exhaust spewing beast of a vehicle



I shuffle past my friends

mumbling primordial grunts

which are accepted as greetings

I go to my homeroom

and put my face on the cold hard desk.



Another day...

LIVE FROM MEXICOOOO!

Hey there creative writing class, how are things going in WINTER WEATHER!!! hahahaha! Anywhooo, Im having a great time in Mexico. I went jet skiing today, and in the next few days im going fishing, snorkeling, and going on a sunset cruise. Its really warm here, but not humid. Im kinda flustered though, because Im on my last book and its only the third day. I NEED TERRY PRATCHETT! The last book I read was "The Wee Free Men," and it was really good. OH OH OH! last night I watched this movie called apocalypto. It was about these aztecs and it was really violent. I also watched "V for Vendetta," which is a really good flick. I also watched the simpsons in spanish. Anyway, I cant wait to face the mountain of makeup homework when I get back, but Im really loving it here. ZANE SIGNING OFF!

Travel Log: Vermont

Day 1: The Drive

We left at around 9:30 as we embarked on our 6 and a half hour drive. On the way, we picked up Paul, my Dad's friends who would be staying with us at the condo in VT. I read half of Terry Pratchett's "Thief of Time" on the way up. When we got there, we opened christmas gifts. My mother Got bathing suits, my father got new shorts, and I GOT TICKETS TO SEE THE JERSEY BOYS!!! Ok, so after dinner (spaghetti and meatsauce made from venison) we watched "The Dark Knight" and went to sleep.

Day 2: The rough day

We went skiing at around 10 in the morning. It kinda sucked. eh, actually it was alright. I only skied until 1:30 though, too tired. That night, we had a HUGE dinner of beef, salad, grilled asparagus, and lobster. I then took a shower and relaxed some more.

Day 3: The Russians are coming!

We went skiing again, and it was much more fun. The conditions were much more favorable, and I felt a little less sore and tired, as I got accustomed to the altitude and climate. That night, we ate tacos, and watched blazing saddles as well as Jack*ss number two. (Its a movie Ms. Morrison!) It wasnt all fun and games though. I went to the hot tub that night, and this HUGE family of russians was there. Seriously, there were at least 20 of these guys. Ok, So after my soaking, I go into the sauna and see them throwing snow on the heater, the heater is electric, and produces a dry heat, so any water will cause it to short out. So I say to them, "Dont do that" and this fat one covered in hair (like something out of Borat) says "Who says" in a thick accent. I reply "The sign outside, it says no water on the heater." And this young russian goes "Its snow, its different than water," in an equally horrific accent. The fat one then goes "If you have problem, too bad." I then called the front desk and OWNED THOSE RUSSIANS! YEAH! IRON CURTAIN MY FOOT!

Day 4: The drive home.

We spent all morning loading up the car. The drive home stunk. Im now writing this about an hour after arriving. Time to eat pizza.

Indiana Jones: the musical!

Characters:





Indiana Jones: You know the scoop. Fedora, middle aged, cynical.


Colonel Dietrich: Main antagonist. Aged Nazi officer. Takes his job seriously, and doesnt see what he does as Evil so much as necessary for his country.


Marion Ravenwood: Love interest for Indy. Tough, independant, and intelligent.


Belloq: French. Indys Archaeology rival


Salla: Indy's longtime friend and owner of an archaeology dig team. Egyptian. Bulky, deep voiced, and warm hearted.


Major Toht: Much more sinister and evil than Dietrich, Toht enjoys torture and pain and will use both to get what he wants


Marcus Brody: Small role. Curator of a museum. old and wise.


Satipo: Indy's jungle guide during the beginning of the play. A coward but still trained to survive the wilderness.

Reeeeal men of genius...

Today, we celebrate you Zane

Zaaaane yeeeah

Everyday, you make those around you feel better about themselves... by showing how much of a dork you are...

Oooh, Who watched the history channel last night?

Your social blunders list includes such gems as "the spanish were very rude," "I wish I was a zombie" and "Nazicles"

Dont forget finding nemo

Your useless roster of hobbys includes Warcraft, nerdy movies, and of course, playing a chinese guy in the play

Bo-Doh-dee-oh!

So whether it be memorizing the spelling of "Sphincter" at a crucial time, showing your physical ability by falling down the stairs, or memorizing the lyrics to "Knights of the round table," you bring laughter and joy to those around you... by being a total goon

We dance whenever were able- *falls down stairs*

So today we salute you, Zane Schacht. Keep on accidentally saying something that doesnt sound dirty in your mind but really is, or knocking down loud metal objects during play preformances, or coming up with stuff noone in their right mind would say out loud

Heath ledger isnt dead, just under the witness protection program

So have a cold one, Zane Schacht. No, We dont mean a beer, we mean an ice pack for your foot you crushed under that scenery lumber before.

Reaaaal men of geenius

My nation of Zane-sylvania

I bet many of you are reading this expecting to find a silly, satirical jabbering of nonsense satirizing my personal beliefs and ideas. WELL THINK AGAIN FOOLS! This is SERIOUS. This imaginary country is going to WORK, whether you like it or not!

Step 1: Location, Location, Location.

I will barter with the country of Romania to sell me a small part of its heavily forested land. Its best for a fledgling nation if Its as secluded as possible. Logging will be prohibited, however, and humans shall build around the forests rather than destroy them

Step 2: Don't mess with me: Armed forces.

The militia of Zane-sylvania will be mostly guerrilla warfare. We shall use our forests to our advantage, and the sniper training will be a must for all volunteers in the militia.

Step 3: HEY! MUST BE THE MONEY!; Economy.

The Economy of Zane-sylvania will be all about tourism. In a world like ours, people will pay good money to enjoy a rural area. Zane-sylvania will be all they could want and more. Another major export could be minerals, but only in regulated amounts. Agriculture could play a major role possibly.

Step 4: The Anthem.

The national Anthem of Zane-sylvania will be the "When I'm calling you" song from Dudley Do-right. Don't argue.

Step 5: Allies:

The country should be strongly allied with the central European countries, as well as Russia. The United States can be neutral. England is neutral too.

Step 6: Government:

The country would be run by a council of citizens. This council members are determined by the votes of the public. I will play no part in this government, I just provide the country's name.

Ok, lets open this baby up! LONG LIVE ZANE-SYLVANIA!
