Well, this was a whimsical desire. I doubt I have the devotion to do a photography blog. It takes too much "effort." Never the less photos are still cool. One thing I have been contemplating is a screenshot of the day kind of thing for flight simulator. That would be amusing to some degree. So about these pictures...one of my friends said he saw a double rainbow outside. I immediately grabbed my camera and tripod and went outside hoping to see something. But no. All I saw was "boring" sky. Since it is cold outside, I decided to grab a few candles and light them all to warm my hands, and that explains the candle pictures.

an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, especially as shown in creative and original work in science, art, music, etc.: the genius of [Kent].
a person having such capacity.
a person having an extraordinarily high intelligence rating on a psychological test, as an iq above 140.
natural ability or capacity; strong inclination: a special genius for leadership.
distinctive character or spirit, as of a nation, period, or language.
the guardian spirit of a place, institution, etc.
either of two mutually opposed spirits, one good and the other evil, supposed to attend a person throughout life.
I decided to waste space in this list by listing out several definitions of "genius" from dictionary.com. After all, that's what most people call you anyway, so you might as well remind your friends of what you really are.
I ashume we met sometime in elementary school. Of course my memory of those days is rather fuzzy now.
"Don't start being stupid." - Kent. You wrote this in my 8th grade yearbook. Okay I won't.
Remember our trip to Zeum for Headington? That was fun when we went ice skating. You were learning quite well from my tips (which of course I learned from Skido Kido). Here's another tip. No one says "ice skiing" as a sport. That's just a corruption of "ice skating" and "skiing." The only time you'd use "ice skiing" is if you are referring to skiing on ice. In skiing terminology, ice is different from snow. With a pair of skis, and not skates.
I heard there's an Ellango fan club. That means we need a club for you. I nominate Yueming to be the president of the "Kent Club." And Ellango can be VP, just like he's VP in KIWIN'S.
I remember the time I beat you in arm wrestling at homework help. But then again it probably wasn't exactly fair since you already dueled Ellango just before me.
There is no point 14, since that's what I did for Yueming.
"I heard he grew a bit in high school." I think that's an understatement. Kinda like "Hitler was not always a sane man" (Ellango) or "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress." (Captain Moody)
I just realized this. "Tanita" and "Mendoza" are half rhymes. Of course, "Mendoza!" is a expression of anguish. Apparently, "Tanita" means "a person with extremely sexy elbows." Someone needs to make it such that shouting "Tanita!" could be a cry of genius or something.
At the end of the day, do I consider you to be genius? I'll have to think about it. But do I think of you as a hell of a student of high merit? Definitely.
Yeah, a list of 17 dingsbums for your 17 years of age.
Sincerely,

Whoever can avoid using the word "genius" in the comments section will be considered a genius themselves. What other word can you use to convey your sentiments about him? Better still, something along the lines of a poem, photo (and photo essay), comic strip, video or music composition. Try not to undermine your own intelligence while commenting, since different people have their own talents and accomplishments.
I have been far too lazy to finish putting all of my stuff from Camp Royal, Composition Week or EPGY. I needed too much concentration, time, patience - none of which I had over the summer. And I definitely don't have much patience now since I need to bother with college apps. That is the life of an American high school senior.
But today is one of those once in a century occurrences, as the ten ten ten thing is in the air. So in celebration of this, I created the Arke News YouTube channel. And the first video to be uploaded is the Homecoming Rally Teacher Dance:
So yes, this was a right day to "resume" blogging. I'll be sure to document my life properly during the upcoming Winter Break. Christmas break. Whichever.
I can't believe it's already July now. I still have EPGY to look forward to, but it's getting kinda shocking that not too long ago I was having a lot of fun at "Mexico" on a cruise ship with so many other people from school. And yes, I have a couple blog posts there I need to also post here sometime this week.
I have been having trouble remembering to keep everything organized properly on this blog. There's stuff from Mexico I still need to copy and paste into here (from the document on the netbook). Likewise, I still am working on typing up those Camp Royal journal entries. And lastly, I have some stuff from Composition Week that I should also scan and upload to Flickr or something. I don't know. Documenting my life is hard, especially if I want to be so detail-oriented.
However, I do need to pause and reflect quickly. Today was basically a blunt reminder of how it was like to be at Camp Royal. Working at the Bay Area Rescue Mission reminds me way too much that Camp Royal is, in my opinion, designed to inspire love. Of course, working alongside the other Interact people (as kitchen volunteers) who are with me for this project also reminds me of how much love we all had for each other there. And I was so happy I got do to a power woosh to one of the kitchen assistants. That's probably still the main little thing I miss from camp. And that place is not too far from that Richmond RPAL. That means I better start thinking about having KIWIN'S go help out there one day...closer to some holiday time, just for fun. And along with Interact or something. I have no idea, but there are some great people in this world...it's just hard to find them, and even harder to find such people if you see them everyday in mundane school conditions.
Let's see...another thing I need to reflect on is my video I made for the Bombardier CRJ700. I like how I finally realized that turning on high-resolution textures wouldn't slow down the rendering in FSX. The only stuff that really slows it down are the 3D buildings and terrain. So finally being able to see my favorite FSX plane with a virtual cockpit that is very high detailed...that basically inspired me to make this takeoff video:
Anyway, I'll get along with typing up Day 4 of Camp Royal, and call it a night.
