The Wonders of the Internet

Well, I have spent a fair ammount of time trying to get my domain hoster to switch precioustaters.tk over to my new googlepages site, but it won't let me because it says the URL may promote racism. Wow. Did I miss something?

Anyways, things have been going well on this day. History was exciting as usual, and Catechetics was as exciting as ever. I can't describe how happy I am in my history class. It's like every time is story time, always involving some hilarious lines.

I spent as much time outside today as I could, and as a result, I am pretty psyched about life right now. Its so nice to finally get out there and not hurry because I'm worried about freezing to death.

The sequel to one of my favorite PS2 games just came out, Kingdom Hearts II. The concept for these games is a fusion between Disney characters and movies and characters from famous Squaresoft games. Gotta love playing with Donald and Goofy.

Feedback on how the site is progressing would be greatly appreciated, drop me a line at precioustaters@gmail.com or leave a comment here.

God Bless

Glorious Life...

Well, I've still been working on the transition, and hopefully people who have been looking for my page have found it. The old journal won't be getting any more posts, so make sure to update any links or favorites you have to My New Homepage and also, of course, This Blog.

Well, life in Steubenville has been exciting. There has been a change in the temperature, getting into the 70s during the day. Because it's been bitterly cold all winter, the students here at Franciscan all get outside whenever it's nice. Frisbee is popular, and so is the classic hacky sack. Yesterday, I had a Nerf gun fight in the courtyard with my roomie Mike and the viscious Ann. It was truly a fun time, and nice to run around for a bit and get some energy out.

I had been sick for the last weekend and most of the week, but I'm finally better now. I took Laura out last night for some of the best dining- Taco Bell. After I got myself a dang quesadilla, I ate with reckless abandon. I also sucked down 2 large Baja Blast Mountain Dews, a decision that would later turn out to be both good and bad.

First the bad: I really had to go to the bathroom upon leaving. Why does it always happen after leaving somewhere? Well anyways, the good was that the super-caffination helped me to stay up and work on my History prospectus. I'm writing about the Korean War, specifically the Chosin Reservoir campaign. Good times.

My roomate and my friends have become nearly obsessed with a free game called Super Mario War in which you have to take your micro mario and stomp on people. The best features of the game are that it features the original Mario music and none other than the Unreal Tournament Announcer! It's amazing, Mario stomps Luigi and you hear "Double Kill!" or "Killing Spree!" Probably one of the funniest games I have ever played.

My friends are also hooked on Genesis games. My roomate was playing an old topscrolling flying game yesterday, and we gathered quite a crowd to watch in my room.

I'm pretty excited about the fact that Easter is coming and all that jazz.

Well, that should be enough for one post. Until next time, you stay classy... internet.

Me being silly at Mel's Birthday Bash!

Well this is my favorite post... wait, my first post. Things happen quickly in good old Steubenville. I think that I'm going to use this blog to talk about stuff from the news, and tomorrow sounds like a good time to start.

good day to you,
Ken

I suppose I'm a bum...

Well it's been a while since I've put anything on here! You know that means business!

So, since last time I posted on here, I had the pleasure of accompanying my dearest Laura and her parents with my friends to dinner in Pittsburgh. We ate at the Cheesecake Factory, which should be renamed "The Temple of Excellent Food and Even Better Cheesecake." The dining was five star quality, and the company was also nice.

After that, I have been busy doing various studying, video game playing, and Catechism-summarizing. I am still working on my summary of the first half of the Catechism that is due on Thursday. It has been very interesting and enlightening, but it can be pretty boring at times. I think that it will take me a couple more hours, so hopefully I can finish it tonight.

Last Saturday, I woke up bright and early (5:30 ish) to go and pray at the Abortion Clinic in Pittsburgh. We had mass first in the Chapel, and then left for the clinic. When we got there, we started praying the Rosary and singing various songs and prayers. It was a powerful witness to see all of us there, there was probably close to a hundred of us there. We got one turnaround, which is when through sidewalk counseling, one of the women seeking abortion turns around and listens to our message and decides not to have an abortion. It was very exciting for all of us!

In other news, we have been watching all the movies I got for my birthday. We started with Pirates of the Caribbean, then watched Hook, then Labyrinth. Movies are amazing. I forgot to bring my Lord of the Rings movies, which is sad.

So, basically, God is cool and so are you!

Intro to Parent's Weekend

...Welcome to parent's weekend! This is the weekend when everyone's parents come to visit and see how their wonderful children are doing. I myself am doing pretty well, and I think it is the general consensus that everyone is doing pretty well.

I had a very good night class tonight in Foundations of Catholicism. We talked about some very interesting topics in the first hour and a half, and we continued talking about those in great detail for the other hour and ten minutes. We were talking about how people can still be saved if they didn't know Jesus if they were not able to know him properly here, and conversely people who know that what they are doing conflicts with Catholic teaching cannot enter heaven. It's all very interesting to know, especially since my teacher is a lawyer and always gives the perspective of law and government on all of this.

My dear sweet Laura's parents arrived this evening and took her out to a lovely dinner, and hopefully I will eat her leftovers when she returns. I also wanted to mention that my new background is far superior to mountains. Especially cute and intelligent ladies are always welcome to reside on my computer background, and indeed Laura fits both.

School is going better now and I feel better about my writing abilities after getting good grades on the 4 papers I've already written. All I need to work on now is my history paper, and also on my Religious Ed visits and I'll really be doing well.

The radio show went pretty good yesterday, Big Al couldn't make it on, but my good friend Nahan G came and did a lovely job in his stead. Good job Nate. *cough, puma, cough*

I also ran again yesterday, a little bit further than last time, and a little bit faster in my opinion. I stretched better before hand and didn't feel nearly as sore. This whole running thing could really help me out with this whole "not gaining 50 pounds" thing. Also, on the air yesterday, I actually said that next week's topic would be "Sodexho: Evil or Not," but I don't think I can talk about that. Sorry.

All Your Base are Belong to Us

I took my test, and I'm pretty sure that it didn't go that well. Everyone else I talked to thought it didn't go well either. I guess that's just life.

Apparently there's some Halo competition coming up soon. There's a big rivalry between the Francis and Trinity dorms, and so it promises to be fierce competition. I really need to practice up! My friend Tom wanted to recruit me to play for Trinity.

I just wanted to express my sorrow to Scott again for not telling him about my radio station. It airs at 7 o clock eastern time every Wednesday. The Big Al and K-Dawg show (sorry for borrowing the name Mrs. Koenen, but my friend suggested it, not me) is amazing and excellent. Listen to it!

So we're watching Signs in our room right now, which is one of my favorite movies ever, so I'm going to go watch it now.

Crazy times at Steubenville

So I ate some pizza at the Caf about 2 hours ago and it was so disgustingly greasy that I thought my arteries were clogging as I was eating. It was tasty, don't get me wrong, but it seems that the people who make the food here want me to gain the freshman 50 instead of only 15, which is really sad. I went running for the first time with some peoples on Friday, and it was very exciting. I hope that I get to run again tonight becasue the food here is going to destroy me.

In other news, I have decided that tomorrow's psychology test is not going to be as bad as I originally thought. Studying is difficult, especially when there are lots of fun people to distract me. Argh!

My room is actually clean today, a testament to the power of open hours. For all of you who don't know, here at Franciscan University, the Ladies can only be in our rooms from 1 to 5 on Saturdays and Sundays, known as open hours.

More on this and other things tommorow when my test is finished. Also, never tell a girl you prefer pictures of mountains as your background to her, especially if she's cute/violent.
