I’ve finally stuck with a design that I like, and I’ve been coding it successfully for the last couple of hours.

Since you guys are going to be looking at it, I wanted to get some feedback. And based on the feedback, I am going to edit the theme, until it fits everyone’s liking. Benj3.com | V4

Some change ideas that I have had:

1. The main color is obviously beige, but the secondary color is what I want to think about. I had pink at first, but I don’t know how it looks with the logo, it’s kind of distracting from my viewpoint.

2. The style of the navigation on hover.

Edit: Wow, I just noticed how I have the same background color as Dzine-Studios. Don’t accuse me of ripping, I hadn’t even looked on his site before, the original background of the design was blue. Besides, how can anybody accuse someone of copying their color?

Term 3

Alright, enough with all these posts about football, and movie reviews. This one’s going to be a laid back personal post.

This term actually is not that bad. I do have some weird teachers, but that’s just fine, it gives me something to laugh at during the day.

Hour 1. Intro to Computer Programming I didn’t get a real taste of this class just yet. The teacher was missing today (on the first day of the term), so we had a substitute. She went through attendance, until I realized, there is not one girl in this class. Not one. It’s a bunch of nerds who were picking their nose, and scratching their faces. There is this cool asian kid in their though, who I always have in computer classes.

Hour 2. AP World History This class seems really interesting. It’s a college level course, so I’m in for a good challenge. The teacher keeps it pretty entertaining, and it was a lot more entertaining today than I thought it would be. That’s sure to change though, I’ve heard that the teachers hate teaching this class, because it’s so boring.

Hour 3. English 10 This is when things get weird. I walk into this small classroom, with about 15 desks cramped into it. Eventually over 30 students pile themselves into these desks, and this small wimpy little guy walks into the room, and introduces himself as the teacher. This guy is really weird, I can’t tell if he’s gay or not, but I sure think he is. He also talks like he’s a Sunday school instructor.

Hour 4. Algebra II Yeah, this class sucks. The teacher is insane, she talks about math, and then somehow rambles onto how she spent $10 at the video store last weekend.

I’m fine with my new schedule, it’s something different, but eventually it will get boring, and I’ll an hero.

Luck and the Minnesota Vikings

- - 2 Replies

I am a die hard Minnesota Vikings fan. Today, after the loss, I walked outside in the snow, in my bare feet, and lit my Adrian Peterson jersey on fire. I then walked back inside, and screamed profanity at the top of my lungs. Only to get a serious lecture from my parents within a few moments.

I have come to realize, that the Minnesota Vikings have the worst luck in the NFL, most of these flaws, were released in tonight’s game.

1. Brett Favre This man is a beast, but today, he just wasn’t showing what he has been showing this whole season. In the last minute of the game, he snaps the ball, rolls out right, and decides to take a chance. The ball gets picked. That could have been the game for us. We would be heading to Miami, and the Saints wouldn’t.

2. Fumbles It seems like the Vikings weren’t practicing what the Saints were. Getting the ball out of the opponents hands. It happened over and over, Adrian Peterson would fumble the ball, again, and again. Only to go right into the arms of a New Orleans Saint.

3. Referees This game seemed rigged to me. Especially the pass interference call early in overtime that ruined our chances of getting the ball back. The ball was uncatchable, being 15 feet about the receivers head. And the defender barely even touched him. Flags were thrown again and again for us, but it seemed the refs didn’t even notice any of the penalties the Saints were committing.

Those were just a few of the unlucky factors that plaqued the Minnesota Vikings tonight. Here’s a couple more, in the Vikings franchise history.

1. Gary Anderson missing a 38-yard attempt that would’ve put us into the Superbowl in ’98, just after completing the first perfect regular season in NFL history. He didn’t miss a field goal the whole season.
2. 4 Superbowl losses.
3. 5 NFC Championship losses.
4. Korey Stringer dying in training camp.
5. And the infamous Hail Mary pass Drew Pearson caught against the Vikes in ’75 Championship against Dallas to give them the win in the last minute. (Which by the way invented the hail mary.)
6. Oh and even though the Vikings were favored, the 41-0 loss in the NFC Championship in 2000.

I hope by now I’ve convinced you that the Minnesota Vikings deserved this win, but there’s always next year. Unless the Vikes get sold, in which they will become the Los Angeles Vikings (What the fuck?). Oh, and if you think Brett Favre will retire, think again, I’m almost certain he does not want to end his career with his last pass being an interception to lose the NFC Championship.

Halfway

Today marks the halfway mark for the school year. It’s the last day of the semester, which means it’s the last day of biology, and spanish for me. I’m glad biology is over, I was never interested in science, and the teacher hates me. I’m gonna miss spanish though, my teacher was awesome.

I took my biology final today, and it was a lot easier than I thought. It was only 100 multiple choice questions. Usually my teacher has half the test constructed responses.

I also took my spanish final on Thursday, that was 162 questions. It was pretty long, but it was really easy.
For quarter 3, I have some hard classes.

  1. Intro to Computer Programming
  2. Algebra II
  3. English 10
  4. AP World History

Pretty much all the hardest classes of the sophomore year, thrown into one quarter. I’m not very excited. Intro to Computer Programming should be fun, but I’m just dreading AP World History and English.

You might have noticed a couple of changed to the sidebar. I removed ‘WPThemes’, it’s not very organized, and the themes I had in there, sucked. I also replaced ‘Art’ with ‘Photos’, it’s just a link to the directory that I keep all my photos in. Eventually I’ll add some style to it.
