So, here it is: THE UPDATE
I don't know where to begin... ahh how about where I left off last time...here we go. So it looks as if I just got back from ODS. The latest news on that is horrible. Our state is in a horrible spending crisis. We spend like the most per student than most other places, but for some reason it just does'nt work. I smell a education revolution. We need more money, smarter spending, and a different educating process. Ham-dog has asked me my thoughts on how to make our sytem better and when I get back to him I am hoping to have a ton of great ideas and beetter yet, a pesuasive manner. yes, I do suck at expressing my ideas. But, I am getting better. I never really wanted to share my thoughts, but, now I kinda have too. I am a "leader" after all. Leading by example is not enough, the people will not lead if they march forward blindly, the path ahead must be explained first. I am thinking we should do a "teach-in" because a walk out is incredably hypocritical. We should instead protest by refusing to leave. Hey I've always loved living at school. We could get the teachers to join in Mr. Halpern already said he would do it and I think it would send an extremely powerfull message. Also on the chopping blocks due to the dropping economy is spring sports. DAMN IT!!! Damn it. Damn it, that really sucks. I love track because it is my best sport. This year my relay team could break the state record! That's huge. We've got Micheal, Me, Adam, and hopefully B.K. Yeah, I decided not to do swimming this year. For various reasons, I had the choice between working on math or not doing swim team. Of course I chose to not do the math. Yes, math is fun; yes, i hate my teeacher's teaching method; yes, it is my easiest subject; yes, it very applicable to the real world if your going to be an engineer(which Mrs. Evenhuse mentions everyday); yes, it does also teach me to increase my logic skills(according to Anyways back to the point
No, I don't like watching the teacher just yell at everyone, I am actually starting to feel sorry for her (already); she is losing control of the class, which is inevitable when there is a violent ruler. No, I do not want to be an engineer, designing stuff is fun but the nitty gritty calculations that make your ideas work in reality just seem... to consuming(if I did that, it would become my life and I think I would honestly miss experiencing the world). I would rather just pay someone to do all that work for me while I go out and design more stuff. Logic? Well I love logic, but people already think that I am too logical. I can only think of an example with Yoyo saying this but I now there have been many other times like during group projects for social studies classes. I am afraid to lose my compassion for people and replace it with a "more efficiant" solution. That would be a horrible way to start my political career(why am i already thinking about careers, i am too young, i don't even think about college 1/3 s much) especially since most politicians are corrupted already i hope I don't add to the problem. And finally, no, i guess I don't want to do full IB, that is if I must do math, maybe it would be fun if I just tought myself. Ohh, I got my mom to say that I could drop it if I get a B this semester. It is a little late but, nonetheless accepted full heartedly. Now all I have to do is a flawless job on the remaining tests and maybe I can get my entire grade to based on my final? Hmm that would be quite the gamble. But so worth it. I would be doing math everynight for hours. I also did not do swimming because well i actually got worse at swimming last year(very discoraging when it is the first time that happens to you), Rozie quit and she's been my swimming companion scince before I can remember making it seem almost unimportant to continue, I mean if someone else can quit why can't I? Plus it is my least favorite sport, I did want to be training for track. But, that was cut so it seems kinda useless,even though I know we will have it this year because of the accumulation of random donations. You know what I am kinda tired. It is 3:00 AM. But, as I leave, I would like to say that I finally read what I wrote in my last entry and I can finally see why Becca was so happy after she read it. I am sorry I could not remember what I wrote, keep in mind I always write these things way late night. But, that does not mean they are clouded by sleepiness. They are actually more true than the times when I am awake because when I am sleepy I don't worry about things much (oh no what if someone read this and found out what I really think!!!!), I just let the info flow. Only probalem is the sentences don't always make sense. I will write more after I sleep. But, for Becca... if you are reading this, I miss you and hope to see you soon. Love ya, adios.

Yes, the internet is now working again. Stupid DSL networks just randomy fail so I was unable to work on the site all morning, trying to figure out the problem. But, here I am. Hmmm, actually now that I have this victory I think I will go shower and get some food. I'll be right back.

I will update this in the morning... so watch out world. Here comes Tamu's Blog

I loved this site so much I am I making a movie based off of it.

Hey check out this God of a website: Go you will love it!!

I guess it is time for my seasonal entry. I guess a lot has happened; biggest news being: I am experiencing my first love(I'll get back to that later. You know what's weird I' m here listening to launch.com and I heard jenifer lopez sing a sentence. It then struck me due to here mature voice jLo has gotten old. It was odd that it just came to me from no here. So, where did I leave off?.... One sec while I go check. Ahh! the first week of teaching swim lessons. It was a very contemplative summer indeed. More so than the others even though I had the most human contact. Wow this was the first summer I actually saw my friends. I also made some newfriends from work. I got really close with Mary Ann, hell I almost asked her out,but then I noticed it would have been a huge mistake.She has all the attributes of a perfect friend. Given time she would have turned into another Eleni just the liberal version. I had at least one class with her every session(I think). Teaching kids can be so incredibaly fun, 1/3 of the time. there three types of classes: those who loved me and therefore listened to me, those who loved the water and therefore went crazy everyday, and those who were incredibly afraid, they were the most gratifactory. There was one kid i had for two sessions named blake and the day he trusted himself to do a front glide alone, I almost kissed him for his accomplishment( I was so happy!!!!) And those movie auditions worked out quite nicely. Ty got as a min extra and I got in as a regular extra but I did not take the job because I am too busy. Ty is loving the movie. He gets to hang out witha bunch of guys he thinks are"really cool"and they hit on"hot chicks" and c-walk and hacky sack. which reminds me Ty has been trying to become a party person this year. I think it because its his senior year and his conservative cc friends have gone to college so he's never judged any more. Plus he makes the bling bling, I really glade I got him to come with me to the audition. Man it was crazy, so I told Max I'd meet him there I ended up hanging out there for like 6 hours. It was fun though I met people, Caitlins friend from the Rose festival court, whatever her name was I don't think it ever sunk in. But she apparently only hung around me so long because she wanted me to ask her for her number. I was just proud of myself a couple days later when i found this out from Ava. Hey, Hey, the Rose festival queen, the most popular girl in the district, who's also two years older than I,was really interested in me, the random guy she met on the street. Oh yeah this summer I also became bus groupie. Traveling around walking door to door talking to random people. My best stories:1) the extreme right wing old woman who's blind husband kept walking around 2) the woman who's cat I accidently let out and was not alowed to help capture 3) the woman with carpal tunnel syndrom in extreme pain during an air show for extra pain. Which reminds me: why the hell is Meng so sexually attractive, can't she stop with the inuendoes for five minutes? No. that's why the urge to rip her clothes off and rape her follows her around constantly. She's so ugly and stupid and shallow it makes no sense to me, it drives me crazy. speaking of which I envited my friends over to my house in the late August and Rebecca was obviously one of them. And she did the usuall becca-esque(hug,hold and don't let go) things and i fell back in love with her,this being the 4th,5th, 6th time? Who knows its hard to keep track. I also realized I never talked to her like all of last year, explaining the breaks is as follows: summers I don't see her sophomore year I only saw her at the beginning and end. Any how, it ends up she likes me too. So I am in my first wonderful relationship(no offense previous people) and shes my first real love. Everything is ,as I've noticed myself saying a lot, golden. And this struck me twice A) while editing a movie with sean I said practically every scene was golden so we ended up like not cutting any. B) when I was watching TV and Ty walked by asking "what are you so happy about?"-nothing-"Tamu, you've been too happy lately." Yeah life is even better than it was last year whe I was a total jerk who hppened to be depressed the whole time and only one person noticed all year Connor. Well he was the only one who expressed his concern(Tamu whats wrong?). Yeah last year I now realize I was completaly currupt with power and since I was sad I brought it out on others(I joke with love was my excuse). But still noone noticed. What the hell? Is'nt there someone out there who does'nt think I a god?? yes two people Ty and Gassen both who I like now more than ever because they are the only ones who cn be honest to me about me,they are good to have around. I started to respect Gassen for this late last year when I noticed that he was the only one who'd ever argue with me. I hated it at firts but now I love it, I love having him take it to the man(me). We were on water polo together this year and we therefore hung out a lot. We had an incredible season led by Camron and Fred(coach). But, it was not nearly as fun this year... well... no it was more fun... but in a completly different way. Then Inoticed what it was the entire girls team was not in love with because they all knew I had a girlfriend(lovely becca) and they were all in love with Ty. Especially Kelsey, one day during practice she stopped me: "Tamu can I marry your brother?"-he does'nt really want to be in a relationship right now-"why?"-waste of time during highschool-"Oh well thats Ok, I don't have to go out with him in highschool, I just have too marry him when were older"-hmm-. But, ty 'threw her a bone'(qoute from Max) because she is 'extremelly hot'(quote from Ty). Having the team not in love with me was really wierd at first, all the girls were'nt always trying to impress me, play grab-ass, or flirt with me. I felt left out of some circles completely. oh well, thats life. But, what the heck? Fred like never played me mid season "I get nervous during games". I could not stand being bench warmer it was ripping at my guts. I'm glade I am close to ty again because he's a really cool guy. during his middle school depression stage he never talked to any one except when he was fuming about what he hates. I became such a good listener due to that, and the bus with girls. Anyways, back to current life, I, school, and what not. Classes, man that day when I waled into english class last year for one day and decided I was goin to be in full IB. I was totally right. There are no stupid people all smart all friends I don't even get annoyed by stupid people any more becuse I am like never around them for long periods of time. Life is great. every one of my classes is filled with friends. There are so many in each class I am just now starting to have the ability to comprehend it. Or, mabey I'm just extremly populer this year. I was on homecoming court with BK and Mx Garvy. I was paired up with Lindsey... Acre. But when I would sk people about her i always got the same response "I am truly sorry that shes your partner. I'd kill myself if I was you". Even though i was only supposed to be with her for like a ten minute period. Oh well I never talked to her anyways, Iwent to ODS. You know what drove me crazy? I could not touch Becca the entire week and I could be around her too long because if I was the temptation to hold her/ show my love was way too great. Water sucks at Howard they have no water source except for this huge concrete pool(no fun). But there is a beautiful view at campfire and I got hose people down in the bathrooms for clean up. ohh so much fun. I need to scheme some more for next year.

ahhh I got my camara and it is awesome. I love it. Also school has started now so we are back with my homies.

By the end of this day I will have a new dcr-trv50.

Well now that it is the summer it is time to have fun! Wait, I am always having fun, well except if someone is mad at me; but lukily that does not happen to often. Anyhow, I am teaching kids how to swim and I am having tons of fun doing it. It is very funny because I have tought a few classes with a girl named Michelle and she is totally anal retentive. She tries to cover it up (really hard), at least the kids don't notice. So when class is going on she is always trying to control how kids do everything, that of course does not work so she is always breaking out into nervous laughter. I have been biking everywhere and I am loving the results. What took me 20 minutes now takes me 15 uphill, 13 downhill. I am looking forward to PTC(portland to coast) but I am unable to practice with the team much. But, it is not all bad, I don't exactly like half of the team. Luckilly they are the bad runners so they are not in my van. As a whole, either my team is immature or very very fake. I am am guessing that they are all putting on their masks for different reasons, because they seem to smart to be immature. I am trying to buy a digital video camera online at ebay.com but it has not worked so far. I am working on my technique. Also I am not quite sure if I want to go "on the bus" this saturday mabey next time. Instead I am thinking I will go to an audition for a movie. Which one? I have no clue. But, I do know when/where auditions are so I am going because it just sounds fun. I think that is all. Hopefully the next time that I write I will be the owner of a brand new sony dcr-trv50. Because I am am in love with it, ahhhhhh.(yes drool is pouring down my face)

If anyone out there wants to contact me think I have a cool site, mad at me, want to chat, need help in any way, feeling happy, want to learn how to get your own free blogger website, THEN CONTACT ME there is a link in the lower left column of this page.

It is starting to be the summer time and I don't want to leave school. (This is the spring wrap up) I think I might as well update my life's story, this is what has happened to me lately: I went to outdoor school afraid that I would fall back in love with Clair. That is since I went with Nelina, David, Laura, and Clair. But, I was not subdued. Meanwhile my crush on Rozie died away. Outdoor school was great!!!! I loved all of the counslers the most of all. Cobalt was the leader of the pack(posibly the funnest guy I have ever met), the only person I did not like was Anteater. Well that and all the camp songs. By the way, on that note one of the kids wrote me a letter, I can't remember him but I of course I wrote him back. Then I came back and had a track meet up in Washington. I t was the first time that I really felt like part of the team. My reasons: I started out In junior varsity events, I had only gone to one other all varsity meet, I was gone for a week and all the people on the bus had noticed I was gone(they were asking me all these questions about ODS), I never really talked to any of the varsity people because not many of themm are sophamores. That and Ingrid moved up to varsity,Brian was no longer angry at me for taking his spot and I stopped caring about how I acted around Rozie. the track season ended with a bang! I won the prelims and got thrid in the 400 finals( I PR'd both times). Then our relay was killed, 4th place, but I ancored and PR'd. So, hey, I got 2 more years. Accomplishments of the season state record for the 4x200 coed, apot on varsity, and a 51.01/ 3rd place. On the thought of relationships: I realized that whenever I meet I cool girl I start to like her(even if it is really short like 1 weekend). I noticed this because I had a crush on Ingrid for a while. Anyways districs was on my birthday as well as some other events, Ty's friend thinking I'm a Thug(then attacking Ty), and various gifts from friends including cookies from Audra. Audra. My date to prom, ya know I never really noticed how 'cool' (check previous comments regarding 'cool' girls being introduced/reintroduced to me in a new light, I never really taked to her all that much so this time around this was kinda reintroduction) she is not to mention incredibally HOT! Anyways we both had an incredible time at the dance. We went to dinner with Danny B and Megan. The evening concluded with the following sequence of events: kiss on cheek, kiss returned, throw in a little tounge (spelled incorrectly(damn english)), I guess we hooked up. We were together for or three weeks. She is a woderful girl but we are better as friends. But, it was definatly good to be with a girl who shows a little initiative. I really I trying to make things not end up as Clair did, although it is very unlikely, Audra and I were'nt together nearly as long, and well, their mental states are nowhere near the same. Wow, that reminds me... Clair. That is some messed up stuff. She is apparently "Oh my god Tamu Clair is so obsessive about you... it is scary."-(that would be a paraphrasing of the average comment from one of her friends). Yeah, so that tells me I at least learned how to be a good boyfriend while I was going out with her. Even though I know I was not giving it my best shot, I mean all I did the entire time was make fun of her with Andrew(what fun). We never even did anything together but talk on the phone. We were not even that close... seriously when it came to her, Andrew and I she was the third wheel. Oh well, right now I am just hoping that I did not do any mental damage to her. Claire's obsession reminds me. Of a comment Mary Ruff made randomly. I was losing my confidense in my attractability because I had not heard that a new girl liked me in a while(sorry that makes me sound like I have a big head but it is true). But then in ceramics she said as she walked by "ya know Tamu, your a lady's man" reason: "I know like 3-4 girls who like you" result: instant confidence boost(yes I am that shallow, but I am trying to be deeper). Also Laura, in ceramics, told me of a dream where she asked me to marry her answer: "sure why not"... ahh good old typical Tamu-ism(very very easy going). Another example is the convesation that I guess... well just read(between lisandr and I) "hey tamu, do you know who Claire is?" "of course she's on the track team and I do talk to her" "good because she likes you a lot" "really?" "would you ever want to go out with her?" "yeah that would be fun." So, as far as school goes, I am bsically guessing what my grade will be. I am hoping that I pull off an A in chemistry, but I will probably get a B. Math is another but I will probably get an A there but it all depends on how much my teacher likes me, which I feel has not been all that good since I take too much in class(but I also teach a whole lot of people the math) so it is a toss up. I should get an A every where else. Although I have to turn in a spanish report, but Ms. Willard loves me, my final in that class was a seperate class on "La Bamba"(dance) so I should be OK. I started caring a lot ablout my artistic skills lately. By that I mean my animation in computer science, but mainly, all of my ceramics projects this semester. Actually I guess I have cared a ton about singing aswel. We had a spring concert, sang at graduation and I sang 'Verjin Tutu Amore"(I ranked 2+, best being 1+, worst 4-). I made that trivet with a T on it(for tamu), carved a wonderfully coiled Manoin pot(very intricute/time consuming) but I destroyed it by putting glaze on that was too thick and it fell over in the kiln(getting a bowl stuck to it), then I made an oribe style tray(it is in the display case), I also threw a really small bowl with a really big cup, and finally my pride and joy a three faced planter constructed by slab and it's intermingling tree roots. I probably will not get thosse last three things back until say September. Also I am proud to say I love school. I have been 'living' there all year. First I had to stay for water polo(bad times nearly alone), then swimming(hey hey hanging out with max... and sean), then track(all my buddies) and now I don't want to leave. Mabey I come hang out here during summer school, or not. Too bad the school year is ending so soon. My friend Ava(a cleveland senior) has graduated and I will really miss her next summer when she is not around the neighborhood. My favorite music now is: well songs that have actual singing and have instruments rather than synthesiesd beats. Songs: complicated, all you wanted, I am what you say I am. Source of music:launch.yahoo.com you rank the videos/songs you hear and it calculates what types of songs to play. I definately recommend it. I don't know what else to say. Oh I got it, summer plans: I am going to be a swim instructor, take hopefuly judo classes, a french class, and make a ton of videos. I \got in a car accident 1 and1/2 years ago and I am getting $2,333 so I am going to buy a digital video camera. I also want to do a whole lot of community service somewhere(it looks good to colleges and it just feels so good to do). One summer I was a volunteer counsler for over 450 hours(definitally time well spent). I vow right now that this summer for once I will actually spend time with my friends from school that is. Normally I never see a single one then when it comes around to school registration everyone looks completly different. But I have grown to love them so much this year I don't want to lose anything over the next three months. I feel weird right now. I always like someone, but I actually don't for the first time in over a year. I just heard the song "flavor of the week" and I feel like I am that kind of boyfriend. In a lesser, more sober sense, but, none-the-less the same. I am guessing the loveless void will be filled sometime this summer by a fellow pool worker/volunteer.

flash is so much fun I love my prgram that I am making.

there is so much to do on flash. I am making a movie for my spanish class about a world traveller.

today i got to install flash.

so lately I made a movie or two. and then I moved to a new computer and installed flash there. by the way I am going to outdoor school nextweek so I won't be here.

hey, this is Eric, and in my great quest to avoid doing homework forever, I have screwed around with this site. I havent really done anything, but I wasted a lot of time, so BOOYAH!

We can now make as many ninjas as we want in less time than ever. And in all different types of positions/expressions.

Now we are making a ton of body parts and saving them as symbols.

We made a movie named NUBBY McNUB. It is very simple but that is just because it's our first.

Sean decided to follow me... and now we are doing it together.

I decided to make a game. right now All I know that I want is: I want to have ninjas and lasers.

I got bored of liberty basic and atarted a flash project.

Here's fools for you. I knew because i'm smart http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=573&u=/nm/20020401/od_nm/bite_dc_2 He would not throw himself in jIL http://www.google.com/technology/pigeonrank.html google said so http://www.2meta.com/april-fools/1994/Microsoft-buys-Vatican.html IT SAID SO

I am livilng it up in spring vacation. This is great. The ocean is cold. I am going crazy(damn girls). But at least I am getting some work done. I am finishing "Tuff", "The Comlete Idiot's Guide to Becoming an euntrepreneour" ( hoever you spell that). Did I tell you that I am starting my own business(to-be-named soon); set up by my own club(the Capitalist's Club). Our plan is to compete with the Quick'E Mart on the corner(West Side), were selling the same type of product(food) to the the costomers(LHS students), where's my differenciation? The price. You just watch... I am going to make a fortune. We don't know what it is that we are going to spend all the dough on but I, the CEO, am leaning towards going on a trip after grduation senior year. And yes I have suporters: Matt,my right hand man in the operation and head of marketing; then there is Eric Lovett, the genius, who I have named treasurer. We re going to expand into different areas of the school and watch our loyal client base explode. I am so stoked and I can't wait to put in all the needed work, make all the money and go on that trip(mabey somewhere warm and sunny).

ahh, max had the best speech I've ever heard in my life. hopefully he will win VP and run again next year.

the blog war with quinn is on

I finished my craps game and now I have all new colors.

woeking on my blog is what I love to do. Chrck oout the new colors

I now have a new program to draw stuff. Quinn and I are mainly working on our blogs though.

hey hey I'm am making one good blog.

javascript:document.write('') ; alert ('Welcome To The Labrinth of Tamu.') ; location.href='http://tamu.blogspot.com'

Hey McP, I just spent 20 min deleting all the excess files/programs. Now there is twice as much free space on the C drive.

Ahh another day of C.S. now I will complete the craps game.

twice bottom of #=top

I have been working on the random function. So I may make that craps game.

I had no idea that we were supposed to check your web site. Insetead yesterday quinn and I worked on a program to find all the factors for a number.

I think that it is a bad idea that you want us to update our blog every day. You should leave Quinn and I to work on our "super program".

To sign in with liberty basic: just use "?,J;U0" under "Richard McPartland". That is a zero. that's a capital "u"

Also remember McP I put all if my other sites over on on the left side of the web site. They are listed under my dogs. I helped make most of them, well at least the ones that i have posted something on.

hey McPartland I have been learning a ton about 3d graphics just letting you know because you asked us to.

one more thing... i am just crazy about Rozie. Max... Thump Thump Andrew...Ribba and Digger... ?

hey Mr. McPartland you told us you wanted us to tell you of our progress... well, i have done it all
