  First youtube video....

  Video is based on the free pc game Gunbound. I'm not recording this, my friend is. I'm just uploading it for him.

  Recorded with Fraps. I apologize that there is no sound, since Fraps picks up sound from Ventrilo, so I guess he turned it off. Possibly in the future, I will re-upload this video with music.

  Suspended from school for three days. Woot! (?)

  Just as the title states, I got suspended from my school for a good three days. Before I tell you what happened, I want you to know exams start in two weeks, so this little trip might be advantageous to me, considering now I don't have to study in noisy classrooms as I can study at home. But that means I have to go to school early tommorow and hand in all the assignments which I have already completed.

  Anyway, that's the boring bit. On to the actual story (I'm trying not to sound biased).

  I have 6th period construction tech class. It is my last class of the day. As I enter the door, Mr. D, my construction tech teacher, tells me I have to sand off the paint from the desk that I used to paint my desktop valet. My desktop valet, which is our final project, was not fully painted yet (wanted to add another coat to the sides). So I told him that I would clean the desk off once I am done painting, because it saves me the extra work. I go grab the blue paint, and dab a little on a palet but before I could start my teacher takes my palet and the blue paint away from me. According to him, my project was completed, therefore there was no need for me to paint anymore. But it's my project, not his of course, and it's done when I feel happy with it, and the wide streaks on the side, clearly needed some work imo. Anyway, now that I can't do anything I start manually sanding off the paint from my desk. This was really boring, and pretty tiresome as there was so much paint. When I finished my desk, he asked me to clean the other people's desks. At the same time, he started handing out marks (I think he was marking them the same day) for that desktop valet which was due last Friday. I got mine back and I got a 65, which at first may look ok, but I got 0 on time management, so I felt jipped. I "completed" (excluding the coats) the assignment on Friday like everyone else. I just wanted to add a nicer, thicker coat on Monday. When I asked him if he would reconsider the mark and at least give me a 1(out of 4) in time management which would boost my mark to a 70, and Mr. D replied no. I told him that he was being a jerk and he slammed his hand on the table in an attempt to look intimidating, then demanded for me to go to the office. I refused, but only because I didn't feel like I did anything wrong. He called the office, and too my luck, our nice VP was absent, so Mr. Manderville (bad VP) was filling in for Mr. Mullens (good VP). Mr. Manderville soon arrived on the scene, and asked me why he was bringing me to the office. I told him that I felt Mr. D was treating me bad and I called him a jerk based on numerous factors. Then Mr. Manderville said I was coming with him to the office, in which I replied, "Truth hurts doesn't it". Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut because Mr. Manderville got this incredibly offended look, and he just escorted me to the office. This was the first time I got sent to the office in in two years, so I thought I might just have to do detention after school or something. But no, I got a full 3 day suspension from Mrs. Mouk, our principal, after reviewing it with Mr. Manderville and Mr. D.

  Usually, you'd think you would feel absolutely terrible after getting suspended. But I really didn't, guilt was absent from my mindset. In fact, it's almost like I was getting a nice little break off school before exams. But yea, I had to deal with my parents...and the worst kind in this situation too. The ones that take the schools word for it (100%), and don't believe a single thing you say. Surprisingly though, they were pretty calm about it (which I found pretty scary). They were calm because the VP said I was getting sent home because I called a teacher a jerk. They didn't really think that was a big enough reason to get suspended for 3 days (Say the f word and your suspended for 1 day lol). So we'll see what happens tommorow.

  The biggest regret I have by getting suspended, is that I have to hand in all my assignments due throughout this week tommorow. Great.

  Thanks for reading. I apologize if the story wasn't as good as you expected it to be. In fact, it was pretty lame. And that's why I put it in the Humor category. It feels like some sort of joke.

  PS: I thought E3 was great, might do a blog on it later on.

  As for the pics that you lurk, I'll have to get the camera from my sister who lives quite far.
