Yesterday's edition of the Honolulu Star Bulletin featured a full page on Wai`anae High School, and I wrote the main story about block scheduling. You can also find it online here.

I added a new page to the site, called "Newspaper Portfolio". There, you can access the articles I have written for my high school's newspaper, Ka Leo O Wai`anae. Right now, only articles from this school year are up. I will periodically be putting up past articles. There are also related links and pictures with each article. Enjoy!

"Searider News" is finished! At this moment, the student news broadcast is being transferred from a Mac computer to a VHS, for delivery to the `Olelo public access station in Mapunapuna. [Sighs] Meanwhile, my group's Island Movie project is still not complete. Fortunately/unfortunately, we have the winter break to finish it. And the only homework I have to do tonight that's due tomorrow? You guessed it...trig.

Above is another link and my results to a fuali.com quiz. Click on it if you wanna know if you have some geek in you!

Right now, I am in Shop 2 as usual...Yay, I have no deadlines! Plus, I finished Schick's essay, so all I have to do tonight is my trig homerwork, which should be okay.

I added two new items to the CLN Vocab List, so check it out!

You wanna know if you're really emo? Even if you don't, I suggest you take the quiz at fuali.com. They also have quizzes to find out how punk, geek, ska, raver, etc. you are. It is freaking hilarious. By the way, I don't really care how "emo" I am; it's just some stupid trend, and just because I like bands like Weezer and Jimmy Eat World doesn't mean I like emo. Besides, they aren't even emo, so I don't know why people say they are...okay I ll shut up.

If you haven't heard, I have a new Xanga site now, under the screen name "weez_on". It's only temporary because I only made it to try the free Xanga Premium trial. So if you wanna see any updates between now and December 13 (when the trial is supposed to end), go to "weez_on" instead of beazereatworld. You can come come back to beazereatworld after the 13th of December. Thank you for your cooperation, my friends. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go home and work on trig homework and sew together a mole doll (mole as in the animal, by the way)...

As you can see, I added a guestbook to my page, so after you read this, please sign it by clicking "Sign My Guestbook." I would really appreciate this.

First off, every time you see a new entry here, it means that I can't get into Xanga. In other words, I'm at school, where Xanga is blocked. In other other words, this web site is now proclaimed my Second Xanga on Tripod. (That sounds like another language, heh heh.) And the Vocab List has its own Xanga site now, at www.xanga.com/clnvocab. If you have new additions to the list (that's you, Chey and Nick), email them at clnvocab@jimmyeatworld.net.

So yeah, I'm here in Shop 2, and I am starting to feel the coldness of the a/c seep into my pores. I should actually be studying for my trig test tomorrow and doing my chem worksheets...I'll do it later.

As I mentioned in my latest Xanga entry, I have a crush on someone. Yeah, yeah.Don't ever mention this in public! [Sighs] It's frustrating because I can't date and I don't have enough guts to tell people in general how I feel. Sheesh. I'm so lame. Now I have an idea of how Rivers Cuomo felt at Harvard. The only thing I'll tell you about my recent crush is that he goes to Wai`anae High School, like me. Whoa, that's a big hint.

Speaking of Rivers, I found this quote from him in Rolling Stone magazine. He said something like (not an exact quote), "If I can negotiate with a naked woman (a prostitute), then I can negotiate with my record company." Something like that. When I find it, I'll type it here.

10/28/02

Some new additions to my site, including three new vocab words, one from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," the other from Nick Smith himself. And in case you didn't notice, I renamed it from "The Liberty-Cheyenne-Nick Table Vocab List" to "The Cheyenne-Liberty-Nick Vocab List" because I like it better when our names are alphabetically in order by first name. (I'm just a freak that way.) And finally, I uploaded a family picture, so check it out at the "Family Album" page.

As for school, I have to finish, like, four chemistry reaction and ion worksheets, a chemistry lab report, a Romanticism essay, a Dashboard Confessional review for "Searider News," a two-minute documentary on the start of a school recycling program, a script for Japanese class, and I have to study for a trig test on Wednesday. but where am I? At the computer in Shop 2, typing up this stuff. Heh heh, good times...(Well, it's not like all this stuff is due at the same time...)

09/26/02

I have no newswriting deadlines, yet I am still here at Shop 2. I am witnessing the editing of "Searider News" as I speak (type, whatever). I have also seen Ka Leo O Wai`anae and I am so happy about both of the productions' new looks. I love newswriting...

09/19/02

Today was the day of the vocabulary tests. I had a 50 word test for English, a katakana writing test for Japanese, and another vocab test for SAT prep. Otherwise, it has been an "okay" sort of day.

Last night, there was a power outage, so my sister and I played the piano for an hour until the power came back. It was weird because the power went off the day before at around 3 pm, and again the day before that. It started when four telephone poles collapsed at a nearby town because they were infested with termites. Sheesh.

In music news, my friend Malia called me yesterday to tell me that Dashboard Confessional is coming to town on Electon Day (that's Nov. 5, FYI). I'm not sure if I want to go, since Dashboard isn't really an extremely favorite band of mine. I guess I'll think about it...

09/18/02

Right now, I am sitting in front of a computer in newswriting class, after school, looking for pictures for my column. (Or, at least, that's what I was doing.) I am cracking up with two friends, Yvonne and Tina, about people in the mainland who are ignorant about Hawai`i. When I went to Washington, D.C., ignorant white people were asking me if I "lived in a grass shack and walk around naked." In response, Tina sang the song for the cotton commercials. "The touch...the feel...of cotton...the fabric of our lives." I'll be sure to post my column about Hawai`i stereotypes and Adam Carolla's comments about Hawai`i soon...

09/17/02

I finally added an entry to the "Trips & Special Events" page, renamed from "Vacation Photo Album." It's about my trip to Phoenix, Arizona. Check it out!

Today was an easy day. I put together two awesome layouts for the newspaper (the front and entertainment pages). My team finished our PSA for mass media. And I finally came up with a topic for my persuasive speech for English class: why dress code waivers at my school are pointless. See, the administration set this policy that we have to wear uniforms, which are only t-shirts that say our school's name on them, and it's a public high school. What's strange is that they allow for exceptions, where students can bring their parents to sign a waiver, since it's a "constitutional" right that students can wear whatever they want (an interpretation of "freedom of expression"). So then why the dress code policy in the first place? Get it straight, people...

08/22/02

Whoa, I haven't updated for quite some time, but hey, I'm baaaaaack!!! Well, I have yet another web site at http://www.xanga.com/beazereatworld, if you wanna check it out. While you're at it, give me some E-props and/or comments will ya? I'd really appreciate it!

Next week, Searider Productions (Wai`anae High School's cool news broadcast, check out http://www.waianae.k12.hi.us/) will begin, um, production (that's both the student newspaper and broadcast, by the way). I'm bracing myself, as I am co-editor in chief of the paper this year...

07/03/02

I'm baaack! I'm midway complete with my summer school course. Since it's the "second semester," we're moving from MHH on to geography. So far, it's not too bad...

My https://beazereatworld.tripod.com/jimmyeatworld site now has a cool newsring, so I don't have to update JEW news; it'll do it for me! But if there are additional things I want to tell you guys about, I'll do so (other JEW news, my life, etc.)

Oh, yeah, TOMORROW'S MY 16TH BIRTHDAY!! Although I will not be getting a car, that's okay, because I can't even drive yet. Instead, I'll be getting a Zip Disk drive! Yay! I can save all the multimedia I want from the 'Net!

In other news, No Doubt and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are coming to town, a week apart! I'm not planning on going to either, but some of my friends are. No Doubt tickets are sold out...hope they know that they can only get them through radio contests...

06/25/02

Hey everyone, I finally published a web site that's about me! It's not quite fully developed yet, as you can kind of tell, so I apologize. Hmm...well, I'm currently in summer school to earn a social studies credit. This is so I can take newswriting next year. The course is a semester-semester course: Modern Hawaiian History/Geography. Right now, we're learning about the Protestant missionaries' arrival to Hawai`i. I don't see why we have to earn a credit for something we already learned in intermediate school [that's middle school minus the sixth grade, fyi]...

...In other news, I went to a free screening of Lilo and Stitch on Saturday, June 22. It was the best and most accurate film about Hawai`i I've seen! Yeah, yeah, it's a Disney movie, but nonetheless I thought it was awesome. I also saw The Debut, an indie movie about a Filipino-American teenage boy who comes to grips with such issues as accepting who he is and going to college. I recommend seeing both movies, especially The Debut because it is not supported by Hollywood and relies only on the community for funds, etc. [hence the term "indie"]...
