The Daily Rant 01-09-01The Daily Rant for January 9th, 2001
Hello peoples. First Rant of the new year. The actual beginning of the millennium. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I did. Wonderful vacation I must say. Four whole weeks without school. Nothing too interesting happened to me over the break though. Let’s review it, how about that:
Funny thing, I forgot that I wrote a Rant on Christmas Eve. Hmmmm. Short-term memory loss. A funny thing happened to me on later that evening though. I went home from work and my two uncles were there. Steve wanted to go to Wal-Mart and my sister and I decided to join him. On our way back, we stopped at Golden Gallon. We all three went in and Steve got what he needed. As we went back, Steve refused to unlock my door and he and Renee drove off down the street leaving me at Golden Gallon. Steve likes to pull these jokes a lot. Well, I was standing there for roughly about 10 minutes wondering where they were. Also I must add, it was very cold. Anyways, I see someone walking up the highway into my view. It is Steve. He told me he got stuck in some mud turning around his car. We had to call my dad to come pick us up and later they had to drag the car out of the mud. Craziness.
The next day was, of course, Christmas Day. The day of giving and receiving. I received some nice stuff. From my parents I received a new optical mouse(It doesn’t have the little rolly ball), a web-cam, brand-new cordless telephone, scanner, 30 blank CDs, and a DVD player with the TOOL DVD/CD. Once again, awesomeness. Later that day, I got $50 from my grandparents, a turtleneck from Glen, and from Steve I got some blank CDs, CD labels, and a CD carrying case. The night consisted of us watching the Tennessee game. Too bad they couldn’t cream the Ravens like they did the Cowboys that night. It’s a shame. Yeesh.
Not too much happened in the following week. New Years came and went. Sheena came over for half the day. My grandmother sang Row-Row-Row Your Boat. Wonderful performance. I drank a whole glass of champagne and ran around my house in the snow at about 12:15. Oh well. Then the week came that we had to go back to school. We were slated to come back on January 3rd, but snow cancelled school for the rest of the week. Yippee. The Friday we were out was one of the better days of that week. I got to hang out with Sheena all day. Great fun. I mean it, great fun. I love you Sheena. Saturday, I worked about 7 hours and on Sunday I worked 5.5 hours. I needed the hours so that was cool. School finally came.
You begin realize how boring vacation can sorta be without school. I dunno, maybe it’s just me. I was in a way glad to go back. Oh well. I was tired all day. Mrs. West(Geometry) changed our seating arrangement and now I seat by the computer. I get to watch the screensaver where all of the fish eat each other. Cool. Driver’s Ed is very boring so far. I got good ole Alty. They call him Coach but he doesn’t coach anything. Hmmmm, odd, yes.
As I mentioned before, the Daily Rant is now 1 year old. Some think that it just started as a webpage, but no. I originally started it as an newsletter by email. One day, I received one of those forwarded surveys. I decided I was gonna mock the whole forward thing and make my own survey. I put some odd questions on there such as “What is your favorite type of cheese?” and “What type of toilet paper do you prefer?”. Then I just decided to send out a bunch of words that I put together that some how made sense. People seemed to like it too. Surprise surprise. Some of you guys have been here from the beginning. Who can forget the classic story about my Uncle Butch? Heck, I might rewrite that. Too bad I have no copies of the old email Rants. Does anyone have any that I sent? It would be so cool if you did. If you do, send them to me at erickeith@hotmail.com. Well, I’m gonna call it quits. I’m going to begin actual work on the page of pictures. It’ll be up sometime this week I do hope. If not, don’t get mad at me. Also, I fixed the guestbook. Actually, I just registered a new one. Sign it please. Please please please. Ok, I’m gone.
Lyric of the Rant
“Where do we go from here and what did you do with the directions? Promise me no dead end streets, and I’ll guarantee we’ll have the road.”
