Hell on Wheels

Normally I am not a car fanatic, sure I know the cls and the cls 500, several different classes of Lexus and other nice cars, but I have beheld something so massive, so incredible, so blooming fast I just had to show you: It is called the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and is quite possibly the fastest car out there. I first saw it in an article that was titled: 1000 Horsepower. Any Questions? The rest would probably bore any one but a car fanatic, but here are some pix, to give you an idea of what the crazy thing looks like. I said I wouldn't go into details but I can't help myself. The blooming car goes over 400 kph at top speed and can last for 12 minutes on a full tank of fuel. At top speed, it can come to a complete stop in 10 seconds, but it takes it a kilometer to do so. This beast is the engine, which delivers 1001 metric horse powers, and should be made illegal except to me.
This is probably not at 400 k's, but you get something of an idea on the incredible velocity attainable by this beast. I'll quote from the magazine one last time before I conclude: To go beyond 375 kph (233 mph), the driver must stop the car, insert a special key, and go through a checklist ("Seatbelts, check; oil, check; last will and testament, check"). There are only 300 of these purdy things out, and that's it. They also run at 1.7 million us bucks, just in case anyone really wanted one, but where you would go to get one I don't know.

Dragon Slayers

Last night we had our first youth group of the year (my last year in youth group... sad. Very sad) I led (that didn't go as smoothly as could be desired) and Mr. Saeli spoke, calling us to be Dragon Slayers for Christ. He called us to fight the 'Dragon, that serpent, who is Satan, the Devil' at school, home, in our minds. I

I have just discovered something wonderful: internet radio. http://eternaltrance.temp.fm is great, provided you like euro trance, dance, house, that kind of thing.

Today Abe and I went out to school despite the fact that its a weekend here and worked on the scorpion project from last year. That is the coolest class I have ever had. I mean, how many of you people out there know even the theory behind welding without having to look it up, and how many of you have actually used a welder for hours on end making something out of metal? And fiberglass? How about bondo? all awesome. I now have fiberglass all through my left forarm, and it itches, but that's fine, a price paid for a cool class.

The End of the Beginning, and the Beginning of the End

Well folks, that was the last day of our first week of school. Guess what? I'm dying. By the end of the school year (just another 172 days away) I am going to have lost it completely and will be terminally insane. Despite all that, I am learning how to play classical guitar. While practice is boring, the results are quite exciting. I may actually become something of a proficient musician by the time I die, or loose it, whichever comes first. Looking at the year, chances are leaning strongly to the latter.

Murder

There is a difference between your senior year and all the rest of highschool. Your teachers are all trying to kill you. Research, Econ/Gov, British lit, Physics, AP Lit, AP Calc, and Music are all these huge classes that I really want to do well in, yet they rain down busy work on me. In addition to that I have Year book, and that looks like it will just consume time without really doing anything of profit. I have had more homework in this first week than I had in a month last year. This does not bode well, in fact, I should be doing it now. Drool later dhogs.
