First of all. I don't have a topic title. I don't want to think of a topic title. This is just another rant, SO WHY MUST I HAVE A TITLE!!? Maybe by the end of this I'll think up a boring title that doesn't grab too much attention. Something discreet, boring, unneccessary, unmoral, useless and a jerk.

This is brutal. I just had my internet suddenly shut down, so I rewrote the blog. Then, suddenly, the internet popped back up again after I finished the remade blog. So I have two different blogs here, both of them differing, and I'm not sure which one to post. Well, I'll do both. Mesh 'em together. Here goes the first part:

Well, I'm not quite sure what got me to posting a blog. For some reason I just tapped onto GS, clicked my name, and here I am. I guess I'll write a general overview of the past while for me since I haven't been in touch for you guys in a while. This time, I'm not going to talk about how much I've missed GS, because I have done so for the past few blogs - and (oh, piss) there I went and became a hypocrite.

Sorry, my mind is in the hay right now. And with it general typing abilities.

Anywho. I have currently finished reading the following books, just let me know if you want my opinion on any of them. Don't PS me, because I have had a nasty habit of just deleting all the messages from there (sorry if someone was trying to contact me - though I don't know what it could be about). Well, here's the list:

Mass Effect: Revelation

Under a Velvet Cloak

Cube's Quest

House of the Scorpion

Flowers for Algernon

Lord of the Flies (again)

And I think I read some others, though they aren't coming to mind right now. And I'm currently reading Foundation, The World Without Us, The Time Traveler's Wife, Currant Events, and Robot Adept. And that's the reasont that I haven't read many books lately; I'm busy reading them all! I was also reading a book called 'American Gods,' but it was so odd and confusing that I had to put it down. Anyways, I've also resubscribed from my next year of Scientific American, but I haven't resubscribed for PC Gamer.

Programming-wise, I am/have making/made an awesome java game. The reason for the slashes (/), is because it is a step-by-step process. I currently have it avaible as a single-player-shoot-the-turret-glitchy-game. But, I plan to hook it up over the school servers and see where it goes from there. Ah! Forgot to talk about it! It's a wickedly-amateur game, same view as the Synergistic Studios 'Dodgeball' game, except a shooter. You move around with WASD, and the guy faces wherever the mouse is. Click to shoot, run away from bullets, and it's non-stop action until the game stops. (I know that doesn't make sense - but it will eventually be non-stop action, because it'll be hell to try to make it stop). Anywho, I have great (somewhat great) expectations for it. That computer programming award at the school is mine! ...Next year at least...

As for Writing, I have continued in my incredible quest to write a novel. The first chapter and most of the second chapter are done, and if any of you like sci-fi; read it, weep, and criticize! Go all out with the latter, but weep only in limited quantities. If your keyboards short out from water damage (or tear damage) it'll be hard to criticize the work. It's known as; the Aperture. Epic name. And the first bit of the first chapter is available at: www.booksie.com/MadeinFinland. If you don't like booksie.com, here's a pdf from booksie.com: http://www.booksie.com/science_fiction/novel/madeinfinland/aperture-short-chapters/nohead/pdf/ver/8.

Mind that though there's a bunch of short chapters, all the ones with the same name are in fact the same chapter. I found that no one liked to comment or read stories with A LOT of visible writing, so I cut it short for criticism's sake.

As for what I'm most thrilled about coming up. PROTOTYPE! I have been the proudest fan since they announced it. From the first time I saw it, I knew it could be epic. I had my doubts along the way; they could have easily destroyed the game. And they still could easily do so. But from what I see, they've made one hell of a game, and I can't wait until it's released.

As for recent, BIOSHOCK 2!! You get to be a big daddy! Awesome. Apparently they're making the big daddy faster and stuff, saying that they were old and slow in the first game. It's a bit of a messy reason, but understandable. Also, you'll still be able to use plasmids, though they're changing the levels for them around a bit. Good improvement. Can't wait for the game, the story looks amazing, and I wonder if you'll meet other big daddies? Will you have big daddy versus big daddy fights? That would be wicked. The idea of the Big Sister freaks me out though, she's going to be the scariest person in the game. But they better, and they will, make the sequel rock.

As for me, I really have to go to the washroom, so I've decided this is a viable point to end this blog. If you've got Steam, I'm chickengod98, or MadeinFinland depending. Still playing Team Fortress 2, though I've recently been replaying Far Cry 2. To those about to rock, I salute you. For the horde! Carna mi Fin-nor. Whatever else chants and departure-type things I could say. Salut, goodbye and ciao! Until the next time I blog.

PS. Be sure to check out the Aperture!

Well, it so far hasn't been the brightest month of the year, but I'll try to keep a few positive things in this blog Last week, it was announced that the lumber mill in my town is being shut down. Sadly, that's the place where my dad works, so my family is feeling a bit stressed now. This means that when I graduate, I won't have much parental financial support, and since the economy is crashing/crashed, the accounts set aside for my graduation are low. All of this pretty much narrows down that I will most likely be going to the Royal Military College, in Kingston, Ontario next year after my graduation, unless I come by alot of money via scholarships or becoming filthy rich fast.

But, school is going great! I just a great test in Calculus, and I'm proud to be one of the only students passing. In Chemistry, we recently had a distillation lab, which was wicked fun, and we are starting the Wave Model. In InfoTech, I'm still continuing with Java, and I've recently made an application where the user has to change morse code into english. I made a program that finds the derivative of a polynomial (took me two hours), and next week I hope to have another project in mind. In English, we have written a few short stories, and there's one of them that I loved. I loved it so much in fact, that I decided to continue it, and i'm on the second chapter, I'll give you guys a general overview about what's going to happen:

It's about my opinion of time travel paradox; if you change the past, will it change the present? My opinion is no, that Mother Nature will end up balancing herself out. The story revolves around a character named Marty Barlefour, who views the world as if it were an amusing game. Eventually, he will become more serious, and then he will learn that his past isn't how he thinks it is. Alot of the ideas in the book are based on Naked Singularities. What's a naked singularity? Well, a black hole has two main components, the singularity (the point in the center that all matter and light is drawn to) and the event horizon (the sphere that surrounds the singularity that shows at what point light is pulled in). The idea of a naked singularity is a black hole without an event horizon, or a singularity that emits energy as well as takes in.

This idea works with the story because according to Stephen Hawking's book 'A Brief History of Time,' if the star that forms the singularity is large enough, it may be possible for man to explore around the singularity, and time travel could be possible in this area. In story, the 'Aperture' is in fact a naked singularity of this type, except it is deformed in a way that only a section of it releases energy (still working on the 'how', probably going to have something to do with the gas density of the star). It's called the 'Aperture,' because it is at first emitting light from the Universes' past (and future) that a station can observe. Later, it is used as a time machine.. but I don't want to reveal too much.

I already have the first chapter uploaded on booksie.com, and part of the second chapter. I'm updating it as soon as I can, although the story is susceptible to slight changements when I get new ideas.

Here's a link for you guys; http://www.booksie.com/science_fiction/novel/madeinfinland/aperture

Let me know if you like the idea or not - I have a bit more to the story and characters, but I don't want to ruin it... if I end up actually going through and writing it!

And let me know whether you like it or not, along with any constructive critisicm! Feel free to either post on Booksie, or GS. But please do!

I'll blog again soon, but I have to prepare for a practice-interview I have tonight for getting my Private Power License for single-engined aircraft this summer. Wish me luck! And check out the story!!

I hope everyones enjoying their Valentines Day as much as I am. Odd how yesterday was Friday the 13th also.. Anyways, I stayed awake all night re-reading the Lord of the Flies, then sleeping in until everyone had left for work. Once I woke, I sat down at my computer and finished my 'morse code' java project for InfoTech. Naturally, due to my hesitancy of creating any kind of relations, I find myself once again inside during a sunny day, but I suppose that my getting outside yesterday should remedy that.

In further detail, my friend and I rented a Cessna 172 from an aviation company in town, and we took a flight around the local ski resort for an hour, snapping a few low-quality pictures through dusty canopy windows. It was an amazing flight, the weather was perfect and the turbulence was off on vacation. I didn't catch any glimpse of skiers from our elevation, but we saw a long line of miniature cars en route. I guess we had beaten everyone up there.

Yesterday, I bought some 'Crest White Strips' to counteract the effects of coffee. These things are a living hell. They are so sticky! The only think they won't stick to are your teeth, so after about an hour last night, I had them somewhat in place, with a few parts dangling out. I had shut my mouth tight, and my hands were dripping in my own saliva. After another half an hour of keeping them in, I finally could remove them, so again I had to get up and wash my hands afterwards. Again this morning, I put them in, with another half an hour of drudgery... these things better be worth it!!!!

At school, calculus is proving to be VERY challenging. Most fun I've ever had in a class. Who'd have thought that derivatives would be so much fun? My mark is probably lower than any other math mark I've ever had, but I'm actually learning things in the course, so I'm lovin' it.

I also have Chemistry this semester, which I'm loving too. It's interesting how slow some people can be in a lab; we were doing a simple lab to figure out the density of water. We filled up a micropipette with water, and weighed it. We emptied the micropipette into a graduated cylinder, measured the volume, then we measured the weight of the empty micropipette. After 6 successful and consistant trials, I showed the teacher, and he agreed that it was perfect. By the time I had done this, the person beside me was still on the first trial! I was slightly astounded, since we were three quarters of the way through the allowed time period.

Anyways, I leave for work in just under two hours, so I might as well go throw something to eat together. I hope everyone enjoys their Valentines Day, but don't overdo yourselves on chocolate Have a good one!

-Carna mi Fin-nor!

(Can't wait for Prototype!!!)
