All in One
11.08.04 (7:38 am)   [edit]
Had a game last saturday. It went quite well. We expected to suck big time and to loose with 15-0. But we only lost with 4-1 :D so I'm actually quite happy.

Didn't really happen much.. (not true!) Actually there happened quite a lot. First Bush won the elections.. which I regret for I don't like his ideas, but I don't like Kerry either. And I'm no American so I can't really say anything about it exept that the world has just signed the beginning of its end.

And Theo van Gogh has been killed here. He was a filmmaker and writer and a whole lot more and he was killed for his ideas by a radical muslim extremist. And the whole country is worried for they now think you can't tell anyone your opinion about something anymore without being killed.

So a lot has been going on. I had a conversation with my tutor as well and he told me I wasn't really doing well. I could end up in serious trouble if I wouldn't start doing my homework a bit more serious.. Ah well, I'm still young. I could do with an extra year (which I don't see happening actually)
 
Testweek
11.02.04 (4:28 am)   [edit]
And the nightmare continues... (after a lot of weeks)

This week at school is testweek. Happy Happy Joy Joy. Must admit I haven't really revised for this week, while I should have. But I think neglecting schoolwork comes with aging. (not that I'm like an elderly or so) In fact, I'll be turning 16 in 3 weeks. Yes, exactly 3 weeks from now. Then I can drink and party legally :twisted:

Anyway, yesterday we first had a Dutch test, which wasn't really important so I didn't really do much to prepare or so... but it went well:D
And then there was this maths test. Kind of important. 10% of the gradution mark we recieve at the end of our school career. I did revise a bit for it, not enough. But when I saw the test I knew there was little I could have done to prevent the mark from being insuffient. Ah well... I can always do it again. (and revise again and stress again... *sight*)

But the hard work is done now. :D The most important tests I have finished so the rest of the week will mostly be relaxing. :D

Coming Saturday we have a hockeymatch against Union B1, cause we promoted to first classe!!! :D But we're not that happy with our opponents now. Last year we lost of Union B2 with 8-0 and now have to play the B1. :(
But the bright side is; we do play first classe, and that's what counts 8)

Well, hope blogging some more soon. (I just always hope that)
 
The nightmare called "School"
09.29.04 (4:14 pm)   [edit]
Stupid, damned, freaking, (plus a whole lot more) Maths!! I hate it! Wish nobody ever invented it! Who did invent Maths actually?

We had this maths test today. Didn't really go as planned. Well, actually yesterday's Chemistry test didn't go as planned but this maths test just didn't go. We had to little time and I thought the questions were far too difficult. (I complain now, but I do think I'll get a sufficient mark) Still I hate maths (sure that feeling will be gone in a few days as well)

About that chem test we had yesterday. It definately didn't go as planned. We were fortunate (we thought) that the other class already had the test on Monday. One of them "borrowed without returning" (stole) a test paper. That evening that test paper went through our whole class. (God bless the internet) Everybody was happy and learned that test. But.. (and you can already guess) when I got the test yesterday a saw a strange test lying in front of me. And I didn't recognise it (certainly no good sign) It appeared to be another test!!!:? Ow am I screwed now! But it gets even better. It turned out that half of my class did get the version we already had at home. So dubble screwed. I thought that the whole classe would get a D or something. But now half will get an A and the other half D!!

NEwayz.. got some physics to make for tomorrow. Can't really focus now, I'm in a really bad mood!!! (when can I ever focus :?) Dunno if I make it to Peking like this. I mean you have to be mental strong as a sporter as well:? Like one can achieve that with school!!
 
We accidentily rule!!!
09.27.04 (6:08 am)   [edit]
Last Saturday we had a hockey match against the 2nd in our poule (we're first 8) but we've only played 3 times so far. And we've won all 3. Didn't know what came over us. We even won from Epe, and we always loose from them) And we didn't really mean to (of course we had hoped to) win. It was like a very big surprise. Something you dream of for years. And suddenly it was in reach and we just did it!!

Having won this match means we're very sure (not 100% but almost) to go to first classe :D :D Something we've never achieved before!! Happy Happy Joy Joy. And then to imagine I wanted to go to another team, I'll take back everything I said! (not that you guys know what I said)

Actually this is the first step to world recognition 8) We're here, we're good, and the world knows! Here we come, Olympics!! (well, not exactly, but maybe once...) CU in Peking

BTW: Martijn, Caro and the others, congrats on winning the Dutch round of the European Youth Parliament. Good luck in Norway!
 
How to annoy people

We won!!
09.11.04 (12:13 pm)   [edit]
Yes!!! (*good mood, good mood*) Just had a hockeygame (like 8 hours ago) and we won!!! :D
We play second classe and if we go on like this it'll be first classe!!:D

We had to play against Zwolle, and it's kind of a big club compared to our minuscule, unimportant, just-for-fun hockeyclub. So I'm in heaven right now.
And I didn't have to be goalkeeper. I played in the field, and it was soooo great again!! :D

Next week Epe, we always loose from them. But not next time!! C U when the Saga continues...
 
Cogito Ergo Sum
09.11.04 (1:15 am)   [edit]
Today weekend!! Happy happy, joy joy. Finally time for relaxing. Except for the hockeygame this afternoon and some boring familyreunion tomorrow, I'll have time to relax :D

No school, just free time (although it only last two days :?) No thinking, just doing. "I think, therefore I am." Wasn't that what Descartes said? Well, I don't know about that. I just planned not to think really much this weekend, does that mean I don't exist any more? Why isn't it: "I am, therefore I think"? And why the thinking part? Can't I just be, whithout thinking?

Well, wouldn't want that either. Being able to think makes us just that little bit human we need to seperate us from animals. And actually, I think we are all just animals. Why should we be better. Only because we think we are?

And when we say: I think, therefore I am. What about people who aren't thinking at that moment. Don't they exist? When someone is asleep or in a coma or something. Does he or she vanish from this earth for that time? And reappear when they think?

And a rock is. But does it think? And do plants? :?

Anyway, the one thing I know for sure is that I'm thinking too much now. (Does that mean I am more than other people? :?) And I'm thinking about stupid lame things. I mean, who would start some blog about what some Greek or French or whatever man said thousands years ago? Should get my mind thinking of usefull stuff (school :?)

I'll go now to that hockeygame. In the mean while: think, then you should know you exist according to Descartes.
 
Messhead
09.10.04 (5:02 am)   [edit]
I havent blogged for ages I recently noticed. And when I say ages, I really mean ages! I guess I was just too busy. Holiday, school, taking the dog out for a walk (like that takes months) and hockey.

I just started school again 2 weeks ago and I must admit they make it tougher every year. I have trouble keeping up. I have only 7 subjects left this year, but they're hard ones and some I have for over 5 hours a week. I'm thinking of dropping some, cause I'm really freaking out. And it's like teachers at last found out what homework is (we tried to hide it from them for over year :?) I've already spend ages on it and it doesn't seem like it's going to be less soon.

And I don't even have time to do homework. This hockey season I hockey a bit too much I think. I have keeper practise every monday. Every wednesday and fryday I also have practise. I join my dad with his practise on thursdays and I train a team on teusdays. Plus the game on saterday and sunday I'm on the field as well, makes 7 days a week I'm playing hockey. Not that I mind, but I'm really busy with it. And I don't think it's doing me real good.

And besides hockey I still have friends and social contacts. But I don't have time for it at all. If this goes on, I'll be lonely and friendless by next christmas. I will be rotting behind my schoolbooks or at the hockeyfield, or else in some psychiatric ward cause my head is getting a real mess.

The msn-inventor
06.02.04 (10:49 am)   [edit]
Kind of in the mood for nothing. Nothing is going as planned. I can't get myself to do my homework and my grades are drastically lower than at the start of this year, though I am spending wholes days behind the computer trying to get myself to learn. (NOT)

The inventer of msn is a genius but he should take into account that there are some children who just have to make their homework and can't make themselves do it because they're busy with msn. (quite a sentence, huh?)
How did he get the idea of msn? I mean, it is brilliant. He makes the road to world peace broader. It is the beginning of certain possibilities. It is a improvement to world comunication and world domination!!! Once I will rule the world with the msn-inventor at my side!!! :twisted: (Okay.. kind of loosing it)

I recently noticed it is microsoft that provides msn. Kind of immediately pulled the plug out. How did I dare to say the M-word? :twisted:

[b]Edit:[/b]

[b]Two quotes from two so called famouse people:[/b]

Theory is when everything is known and nothing works. Practice is when everything works and nobody knows why. At Microsoft, theory and practice are united: nothing works and nobody knows why

The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners!
 
Lazy me
05.31.04 (2:27 am)   [edit]
Haven't been blogging recently (=understatement, haha)
Okay.. haven't been blogging for quite a while (= still understatement) Okay... I was to lazy to blog for over a month!!! (correct) :P

But I do have excuses, can't come up with one now though. :? S'pose I've been really busy. But that's the youth nowadays... just too busy. And it's our parents who should be blamed! (says the gouvernment.. and we are only happy with that.. as long as the blame isn't ours :D )

Let's see.. I have really been doing stuff... First there were the holidays.. then another week on holiday with school... then I went on camp.. so there wasn't much time to blog. Besides, I am a lazy person, which I think is a real good excuse for not having been blogging.

I do intent to blog more. ( Can predict I forget these good intentions within a week :? ) newayzz.. let's see how long I'll be able to hold on. 8)

C ye laterzzz!!!
Irby

BTW.. I didn't really get a tan.. :(
 
Finally vacation
04.27.04 (1:37 pm)   [edit]
Today the vacation finally started!!
I am in heaven!!!
Don't know what to say no more.. I'm speechless. I'm full of joy... I'm... whatever.

No school no more for over two and a half weeks!! No boring lessons, no weird teachers, no detention, no troubles! No problem!!

Don't know anything else to say. I'm just thrilled.

By the way. I'm going on holiday (to Denmark and Berlin Yeeeeee :D) so if you don't hear from me soon, it's because I'm relaxing in some foreign country :roll: )

newayzz.. see you after that. Then I'll show you my tan :wink:

Bye
 
Family weekend
04.25.04 (1:12 pm)   [edit]
This weekend was what you would call a family weekend. Boring!!! :?

First.. My grandparents from my fathers side celebrated their I-don't-know-how-many aniversary or something. That meant I was stuck with some relatives I don't entirely know on a small touring boat for 4 hours!! There was like nobody of my age and I was bored to death!! And the food was bad!! (that was the worst :wink: )

Secondly.. My grandfather and uncle from my mum's side celebrated there birthday. I thought being sportive and I cycled to them (75 km!!!) took me over 3 hours!!
They celebrated their birthday in a thee house with some kind of garden in which all kinds of attributes were. There was this watchout tower and there was a vat in a small stream at the back of the garden. You guess: at the end we were with 6 people on it and we were acting a bit rough... so it collapsed!! :D We had real fun!! We were totally wet!! But my parents didn't really enjoy it as much as I did. After it happened we went straight home. :?

But it wasn't that bad. We were a bit green and wet.. who cares about that? (My parents appearantly...)
NEwayzz.. must go now. Talk to ye tomorrow.
 
Big loss!!!
04.23.04 (9:49 am)   [edit]
Today was the school hockey tournament. We had a real good team. Except for me. I REALLY SUCKED!!! I stopped almost no ball. The whole team did well.

We became second of our poule (out of 6). We had to play against the number one of the other poule, but we lost...

that last game was like a half final, so we just say we became third. Quite an achievement. But we could have done better if it wasn't for me!! Think I'll give up keeping, for it's no good...

Hope I'll get over my depression by tomorrow...
 
Social Studies nearly finished!!!
04.22.04 (7:16 am)   [edit]
We've almost finished our essay. God I'm happy with that! Finally some spare time.

newayz... not much happened today. with pe we did javelin throwing. Didn't do really well. Mine came all the time tail first, or miles out of direction :?

With anw (nature science - kind of, don't know what it is in English) we claimed our subject for some poster about the universe. Ours is about How does life on Earth ceases to excist. So if anyone has some info on that subject, please post. :D

Still busy with that stupid essay. Just lay the last hand to it. Hope we'll get a good grade...
 
Social Studies
04.21.04 (7:57 am)   [edit]
I'm starting to become nutts!! That damn social studies. I'm never going to finish that essay in time. Why did we have to pick such a dull subject: Rights on the street. It is really lame. We're not doing well, not keeping to the planning (planning = still not added to my dictionary :?) Well, have to work now. Lame Lame Lame...
 
School Hockey
04.20.04 (12:50 pm)   [edit]
We had our second hockey practise today. The first one for me in my keepers outfit. It was kind of a failure. Stopped almost no balls. In the game we played afterwards against the boys I only stopped one. (I only had two balls :P) I guess everybody now thinks I'm a very bad goalie.

But we do have a good team. Friday is the tournament. I hope we win. For then we'll go through to the national round. And ofcourse we'll become the national school champion!!:roll:

Fingers crossed!!!
 
Smorenburg suckzzz!!!
04.20.04 (5:01 am)   [edit]
Oh! I'm really furious right now!!!

Half of the class got the fifth period of today, which meant they were free (all day!!!). Unfortunately, I belong to the other half of the class and I had to wait more than an hour for a subject (ICV - computer studies) where we never do anything!!! *angry angry*:x

All because of this Smorenburg guy. Our ICV-teacher was willing to cancel his lesson, comes Smorenburg -*** ******* *******- (you don't want to know what I was planning to say on the stars) and he tells us we just have to go to class, with only half of the class!!!!!

First we had to wait, then ICV -we didn't do anything- we were only reminded to how we could have been home now. It's just torture. It's child labour. It's all illegal. That whole Smorenburg guy is illegal!!!! -I'm a bit frustrated right now... didn't know if you got that. Don't take too much notice of what I say, it can be kind of irrelevant. But I'm sooo furious!!!!! - (I need a cooling down period of some hours, then I'll be allright again)

Anyway, I'm still happy. The English test has been postponed. That's why I'm with one leg in heaven. Smorenburg pulls the other leg to hell :twisted: !!

See my last blog, this kind of stuff is exactly why school should be forbidden!!
 
Illegal School
04.19.04 (9:02 am)   [edit]
School should be forbidden! School does more wrong than right. What do you think the reason is that everyone is so stressed recently. How would you feel if you had to finish a huge essay by the end of the week and read two difficult books in two days. (Ofcourse I could have planned better, but the word "plan" doesn't occur in my dictionary :wink: )

School is just to improve the unemployment rate. Some people who haven't "planned" their future end up being teacher. Also school is to keep the children out of the streets. Instead of making cool hangout places, the gouvernment makes prisons they call schools.

Also, the school pretends to be the one and only important thing in a teenage life. I hope you don't mind I don't agree with that. Hockey is the most important thing ofcourse! :) (and shopping, and bein' with friends and... lots more)

I've quite had it with school. Those teachers that want absolute obedience. And all the homework you have to do (like I do it). It just f*ckes me up! Don't expect it to be weird when I end up in some psychiatric ward or something.
 
Introduction
04.18.04 (11:50 am)   [edit]
My name is Irby and I don't know wether you want to know anything about me. Don't think you'll find it interesting.

Anyway, I'm in high school and kind of on the way of becoming a computer nerd, but not totally, while I enjoy playing sports as wel.

Hockey is tha greatest sport in tha world.[b] HOCKEY RULEZZZ!!![/b] and I also like mountainbiking.

Recently I started blogging. Dunno exactly what I should write. It's like an online diary, but's that seems kind of borin' to me. I started blogging to make a world. One of my own, which I'd like to share with others.
