This is just another weblog. This one happens to be for me, Alex Jordan. Oh, and now it's for my friend too, who basically wants to blog without setting up a blog. ...

I have a lot to blog about
Last night Mom and I went down to the beach and looked at the stars. We saw the Big Dipper and we thought we saw Venus. Then Dad came down and he said that this band going across the sky probably wasn't clouds, it was probably the Milky Way. Also he said that what we thought was Venus was probably Mars, which Mom decided was probably right.
But before Dad came down Mom and I saw a shooting star! Mom actually saw two but I only saw the first one.
Today is our last day here in Michigan. Tomorrow Dad, Sushila and I are leaving for Canada, where we'll see a bunch of our cousins, which is pretty cool. But we'll miss Mom and Charlotte.
Sushila down to the beach with the dog and I followed soon after. Then Sushila splashed me (even though I didn't want to be splashed) and all the sunscreen of one arm came off so I had to go back up. Then when I went back down I had lunch (a sandwich) with me, on a paper plate. I got all the way down the hill and onto the sand and I had to go over like one or two more dune(s) but then my sandwich fell. So I went back up again with this pile of sandy sandwich parts and did some stuff and went back down again with another half a sandwich, this time on a PLASTIC plate, only THAT fell, too. (I actually ended up just eating that and not eating the sandy part)
The water was really nice though and I basically spent most of my day in it :)
Then we went up to call the Bhiels (I dunno if I'm spelling that right that's what Mom said), who apparently have a cottage here too, and to go to this soft serve place called the Whippy Dip, only we couldn't reach them so we just had dinner, which was burritos, instead. And then I sat down with my iPod to write this post! :D
I (think I) had a good day today

Harry Potter @ amc Theatres
Only here's the thing: when Voldemort pointed his wand (at Hogwarts I think) and there was a really loud noise (an explosion I think), _the ceiling of the theater caved in_. When the movie was over we all went to see the corner, where there was this rubble stuff that was the ceiling :D
Also while I'm on the topic of weather, we had really WEIRD weather that day. There was almost continuous lightning, and it was absolutely POURING. (Kinda reminds you of Seattle, eh? Wow that sounded weird)
Anyway... Mom's making us get outside, which will probably be good. So I guess I don't have time to blog anymore, at least for now.
Wait, what do I mean, _I guess_? Although I suppose that since I have time to write this, it might be justified... I should probably go and post this now.

KRADDY! 2
I just want to state that the Labyrinth - EP album is basically pure awesome mixed in with some total beastage.
Actually I only have Mono and No Comply... :( (my iPod won't download the other ones, mostly because of the Internet connection)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Pt. 2
-----
OMIGODOMIGODOMIGODOMIGOD! That was seriously (one of) the best movie(s) ever (it was just as good - if not better - as Inception) and now I can't believe it's over. Plus it went way too fast... :(
But I'm looking forward to The Hunger Games too
And also Sherlock Holmes 2
And possibly some other stuff that I can't remember at the moment
Ok I'm going to post this now

Clarifications and explanations
First of all I just want to clarify that the image I posted with the Mozilla logo in the star, and which said 'hack' in a really cool font, does NOT mean hacking in the sense of breaking into computers.
It means hacking in the sense of messing around with your favorite programming language, submitting patches to a program, our downloading source code. This Wikipedia article may help to clarify.
Secondly, I want to comment on the name of this blog. Since I didn't really create it with any specific purpose in mind, I kind of categorized it as 'ramblings'. And because this is a personal blog, I came up with 'ramblings from me'. The final part, '(who knows really)' (plus the ?) came from an idea that this blog post touches upon (although that particular post was not the inspiration for it) - the idea that we, as humans, have no way of knowing if we are really ourselves. Thus, "ramblings from me? (who knows really)".

A word on the internet. And a birthday!
This was written yesterday but not published until today due to Internet issues. Old news, huh?
So for those of you who don't know, we get internet through the cell network here in Michigan. Which means that it's subject to the weather and just luck and it's sometimes über slow.
Also: I finally got around to sending the link to my birthday list to my relatives. I put it on Google Docs this year and I think it will have a lot of advantages. Yay!
