My name is James. James Del actually. I work at a place called Gawker Media, something I find myself explaining to my parents every time I see them. They'll get it one day. I don't believe in Twitter, but I do believe in Facebook and LinkedIn. There's a Myspace page out there too, but never mind that.

a pretty decent first day. i was psyched to get up to dress myself up and put myself in a good mood. i want to start things off the right way. this year kind of counts.

i guess i’ll recap by period…for me, really, because i don’t know who wants to know the minute details of my day.

studyhall was…

You don’t have to read this whole post. In fact, I suggest you don’t, because you won’t know what the fuck is going on. But considering I had a nightmare last night about Mrs. Schneider freaking out on me for not having my trombone (yes, I can play the trombone), reading a back to school post brings back memories. Speaking of memories Beck, here’s my blog post from my first day of junior year:

Im watching tennis. Isnt that crazy?

First day of school was incredible. Never thought id say that…but i truely had a good time in school today. Ive always said that school was great, with the exception of the learning part. Now, with the exception of English and PreCalc, Im actually learning about things i want to learn about. AP Bio, US History, Statistics. Good classes. Good teachers too. Im geniunely psyched for this year. It was nice seeing all you people again, and it was even nicer to see all the new freshmen there were to corrupt.

So do you know who Matthew Pinfield is? He did some commercials for The Wiz awhile back…he had a very distinct voice. Ask either me or matt to do the voice for you. Anyway, Matt had gotten a hold of this guy’s office phone number, and naturally he called, claiming to be Ian Robinson from MTV News. He left a message with his secretary asking if Mr. Pinfiled was still meeting him for dinner. Of course, being the loser that he was, Matt left my cell phone number for Pinfield to call ”Ian” back.

Needless to say i was a bit surprised when i got a voicemail from Matt Pinfield this afternoon asking to call his house, and then leaving his number. Way to go Matt.

So hey this made me really chuckle tonight…maybe it had something to do with my exhaustion, or maybe it was just too late to be reading an AP stat text book…either way check this out, straight from the text:

“…variation is everywhere, so the results are different for different women. Some women who have mammograms every year die of breast cancer, and some who never have mammograms live to 100 and die when they crash their motorcycles.”
