Just about an hour away from Austin, wrapping up the second 1200 mile road trip to RTX. See you there.

My Thoughts at a [3]I think 2012 is going to be an important year in the legalization of recreational cannabis use. Michigan and Missouri are trying to get legalization Iaws passed and several presidential candidates have announced support of everyone's favorite natural herbal medicine.
Finally, the age of past racism and old, fat, white, rich, white men is ending.

Version 4.2.3.x.x.x.x.xHi, guys!
I haven't talked to you in a while. I've been at college for the last 4 months. Semister ends in 3 days and Christmas is in 7, and I feel great.
I've been taking a few courses, two of which are closely related to my major. I've produced a few good pieces in Drawing-I and 2D Design, which are both art classes. I might get around to scanning this semester's projects eventually, but until then, I really miss all of you guys and Rooster Teeth stuff in general.
Also, guess which operating system is running on my MacBook Pro? Hint: if you guessed Macintosh OS, you're wrong.
Also.1, I use Skype and play League of Legends and Starcraft II now. If anyone has the urge to add another player to the "casual" team, shoot me a message.

I feel like none of this means anythingI'm a simple kid. I browse the internet, play games on my very expensive computer, apply at different workplaces for a living, watch My Little Pony, watch movies, hang out witih friends, write music, and go to university on most week days.
I feel like I'm more bored all the time than I should be. What do you two do with your time?

LAN?I know Starcraft II is a sport in some countries... But the 90's are over, and no developers really care about the PC platform as much as they do about consoles anymore, do they? I'm at a LAN in a Starcraft II tournament, and I'm losing every game, but I feel like the players that spend unnecessary ammounts of time getting proficent at the game are spending time getting a skill that isn't going to be relevent in a few years.

One World Trade CenterHey, everybody. I'd like to some time to look back 10 years on today.
I was in the 3rd grade. The teachers were all called down to the office (small school, only about 7 teachers). When the teacher returned to the classroom, she asked us if we knew what terrorism was. She then explained what happened that morning in New York City.
My father, at the time, was a pilot for American Airlines and the principal allowed me to go to the office and call home to see if everything was alright. By the time I called, my dad's flight had been grounded and he was already driving home from somewhere in Ohio, if I remember correctly. He retired in August, 2011.
The World Trade Center in New York was truly a marvelous site, taller than any buildings in the United States.
Construction started in 1966 and was completed in 1970. The Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world from 1971 to 1973.
Ten years ago today, hijackers from the terrorist group al-Qieda seized control of American Airlines flight 11 crashed into the north side of the north tower, which started a fire in the building and cut off all stairwells to floors above the impact zone, trapping over a thousand people.
Less than an hour later, the similarly hijacked United Airlines flight 175 struck the south tower. The cause of the collapsing of the two buildings was not actually the impact of the jets, but actually the fires caused by the impacts. The north tower burned for almost an hour before collapsing and the southern tower burned for approximately 100 minutes before following suit. Almost 3000 people were murdered on that day.
The tower know as One World Trade Center, still under construction, is currently standing on the site of the attack. Earlier this morning, the partial tower was light in the early morning darkness with the colours of the American flag, in tribute to those who lost their lives in the attack. 
Also known as Freedom Tower, it will stand (including the antenna) at 1776 feet tall to represent the year 1776, when The Declaration of Independence was signed by the founding fathers of the United States.
It is scheduled to be completed in 2013, after two pushes from 2011 and Q2 2012. Thank you for taking this time to remember with me.
