getting a summer job

Image
  So where do I start. This summer, I'm a graduated high school senior with seriously no obligations and stresses. It's been pretty crazy honestly, just this feeling that I've longed for for so long, for this entire school year. There were so many times, especially when I was studying for multivar, where I was just like... MAN!!!! SET ME FREE FROM THIS!!! Like don't get me wrong, second semester chill definitely had tons of elements of like freedom and zero stress because there really is highly minimal stress, but there would always be something on my mind. My economics teacher would do some wild sh*t, or I would have homework from music theory, or a project that I haven't started.  But yeah, apart from that, that basically left me with the premise of getting a job this summer. I wanted a job specifically in like the food/drink service, excluding boba, or a grocery store service. SO like jamba juice, whole foods, trader joes was super ideal for me. You'll see wh...

Heat wave in california

Image
  There's a heat wave in California. There were a lot of others earlier this year in Europe and Middle East and stuff. But we get one too :D Today was the day when I just felt the impact the most, which is what inspired me to write this. I woke up today and I just felt dizzy. It was just so hot and waking up in such a hot environment is so unpleasing it's crazy. It wasn't anything serious but I just felt horrible. Additionally, when I drive to school I have to get my AC up to almost max and stuff which drains the battery of an ELECTRIC CAR WHICH USES A TON OF ENERGY TO CHARGE WHICH IS BAD BECAUSE ENERGY COSTS A LOT. This will all end very soon, like 3-4 days it will go back to normal. But this is like the first heat wave I experienced, where its just 100+ consistently, and 100+ at 7 PM. So yeah, kind of cool.

Timelapse ESAP COMPLETED

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBwB6-uY-xA There it is! The most annoying part of making it was collecting all the footage and speeding it up, as wevideo cant speed something up by 256x directly, so I had to input and reinpnut the output on 4x speed generators for various clips. Either way, I think the vid turned out well, and it shows the work I put in very well. I'm likely going to straight up forget about all this 3d modeling stuff, as it's not something I'll do for fun :( That's why this vid is so essential.  Lyric(s) of the Post:  Got me runnin' 'round town I surrender all of me Oh my god, I'll give you anything you want Maybe I forgot why you left in the first place Way too many friends getting close on your birthday So can we talk for a minute, talk for a minute?

To: my back

Image
 Dear my back,      It was May 1, 2022, and I hurt you. It was  my first time going to the gym in 2 years , and my first time deadlifting in my lifetime, and I went too hard. Two days later, the consequences came in, as I felt more and more immobile. It felt extremely uncomfortable to stand for long, and I just couldn't do so many physical activities in general. I can't describe the pain that I felt that week, not only physically but mentally.      Although bengay lotion helped, I still couldn't run or workout anymore. It was so painful to sleep. So many other aspects of my life were just interrupted and halted. You wouldn't think it would be that way. Dear my back,      I learned a lesson, and this will never happen again. Right now, I'm so glad that you are okay. It's been so long, and it feels AMAZING to feel absolute ZERO presence of you at all. I will still play it safe though and I won't go too crazy. But MAN DOES IT FEEL GREA...

Why android is better than iPhone, windows better than macbook, galaxy pods better than airpods, etc.

  This shoudl NOT be a hot take.  ANDROID:  Google Assistant which can match any song that you play, including HUMMING. You can literally hum a tune to it and it will pop up with a match fairly consistently. Can siri do that? Oh. 400 dollar Google Pixel 3a has better camera quality and is fully capable of doing everything that an iPhone pro can do, which is around 5x the price. Yikes. Headphone jacks. People these days refer to an aux cord as usb-c or their own custom little iPhone chargers. Shows their lack of comprehension of modern society. Google Chrome. The default android uses a realistic browser! What perks does Safarari ever have? Better alarms. Our alarms are exponentially more comforting.  WINDOWS: Widely accepted in gaming culture. " If you want to argue about culture, let's talk about apple integration in culture!!!"  No. XBox game bar. This is such a sensational screen recorder that minimizes lag, easy to use, clip, and upload, along with so many ot...

First real gym workout in 2 years.

 Yesterday afternoon, I went to Fitness 19 for the first time since like 2020. I was kind of scared because back when I used to go, there wouldn't be people of my age. Now, lots of people I know go to 19 which is going to be so awkward.  Anyway, when I first walked in, everything was the same. There were some changes in the layout in some parts but the general sections all are the same. Same colors and floors and everything.  SO first thing I did was walk straight to the weights section because I didn't want to look stupid finding a machine. I ended up doing like 4 supersets of bicep before moving on to leg extension and leg press. THe main perks of a gym are the MACHINES. OMG they are 100x more effective than home exercises. Man it felt good to feel my legs burn effortlessly. Those machines are so chill too cuz ure just sitting down. After that, I did lat pulldown, another perk of gyms, and that made me realize that my shoulder needs a LOT of work. Then I went to the cal...

best wordle strategies

Image
Speed wordle is a pretty addicting game( https://squabble.me ). I hate how the school wifi blocked it after like 3 days. Anyway, pretty much the only way to optimise the game is to use a starting set of 4 words, that way you cover 4*5 = 20 letters with your first 4 guesses.  Here's an example. Sometimes this strategy is hit or miss. The word here is "triad." The starting set on the left covers it better than the starting set on the right STRATEGY #1 (worst) Dumps Whole Tangy Brick It's an ok strategy, but it's generally the worst and doesn't compare to the other two strategies. STRATEGY #2 and #3 Haven Jumpy Fritz Clogs (optional 5th word: dobra) Stead Flung Womby Chirp (optional 5th word: jazzy) I mainly use the "haven" strategy, but after hearing about this new strategy, I'm going to see if the "stead" strategy is better. I'll keep you updated. Here's a bonus strategy that I think coudl be the best out of all of this? STRATEGY...

School Update | 2-18-22

Image
  I'm starting to lose blog post ideas, but anyway, here's a pretty cool school update. Ever since the start of the school year, there was construction near the back of the school for a new building. I thought this would take like 2 years to build and I never really processed the idea that I would be in the new building for some reason. I just saw it as random construction. Anyway, around two weeks before two of my classes moved to the new building, my physics teacher announced it. I was pretty shocked but also pretty hyped.  Ok anyway, my AP Physics class and Cybersecurity class moved to the new building on 2-15 this week after the 3-day weekend and it was pretty exciting. I tried to take photos of stuff but like I was in a classroom and soem of my peers thought I was sus when I was just taking photos of random stuff lol. Old physics classroom:  About the new buildings, here is the school news show that covered it. The narrator's accent is kinda sus but whatever:  h...

Old pages

 There's no archive sections for the pages that I took down. I'll just archive it publicly in this post. PAGE #1: FAQ 128 VIEWS BEFORE BEING TAKEN DOWN.  FAQ=Frequently asked questions. Here are some frequently asked questions. I'll be updating this list once I think of more questions people ask me a lot. You can ask a question in the comments and I might answer it. How do you post so much on your blog? I love posting and the fact that people read my posts and comment. I love expressing my ideas out and it's awesome. How do you know so much basketball trivia? I am a part of the NBA twitter and Google+ communities, and I watch a lot of Mike Korzemba. I watch a lot of interviews and I'm definitely a big time Cavs fan. Although they suck right now, I still follow the news and all. I take a lot of quizzes online. How are you so fast at solving a Rubik's cube? Another "talent" I have is the Rubik's cube, a puzzle I have solved in 14.35 seconds before. I...

history can kinda be interesting

 Here is a pretty scuffed post since its been like 7+ days since a post. So like i hate history. i have a passion of not taking ap [history] classes whether its AP world or APUSH. History is boring, you forget everything you learn, it's boring, and DBQs are on the highest tier of things that i hate. so i was in my regular USH class like last week and there was a sub. We were supposed to watch a documentary about the atomic bomb and we did.  idk what but documentaries always hit different. that documentary i watched is prob like 99% exaggerated, well not exaggerated, but like just, the documentary makes everything so significant. they really evoke the "pathos" and emotional side through all those stories and stuff. thats just how documentaries work and tahts the common trend of how i respond to them. so yea, after i watched the atomic bomb on hiroshima documentary, i was like "dang bruh i always cheered on the US for sending this bruh." i was genuinely kind of sh...

Useful google chrome extensions

Image
  I've had this google keep note for a while. Let's check off this box. Boxel Rebound  - Basically lower quality geometry dash. When clicking the icon it releases a small gameplay window embeded on google chrome meaning you can play the game conveniently on any tab. It's a great extension to have when waiting for something to load or when you don't want to pay attention in class Cloudy Calculator  - As described, this is a very versatile calculator. It has a ton of commands and it has the same convenient popup window embedded in Google Chrome just like boxel rebound. If you want a calculator extension, this is the one. Google Docs Quick Create  - With two buttons, you can create a new google doc instantly rather than going to google drive which sometimes takes a while to load. Alternatively you can type in doc.new as a URL. Stopwatch Tab  - Very simple extension that turns the title of ur tab to a stopwatch. I used to use this all the time for various things lik...

Driver's License

  LETSGOOOOOOOOO Today at like 10:20 AM, I left campus to take my driving test at 11:00 AM.  I brought all the documents I need to bring and felt very prepared. The day before, I practiced the route with my dad and also looked over where to park. I chose the stoneridge DMV because I heard that it's significantly easier/shorter than the other DMV. The test itself was pretty smooth. I'm really proud of myself for maintaining a good speed under the speed limit and my lane switches were very decisive and controlled. Right off the bat on the right turn where I exit the mall I forgot to stop on the red light -_- The thing is that it's literally a habit for me to stop behind the line and then roll over, but I was just that nervous. After I realized i f***ed up, I just told myself to not think about it. The rest was great, I was just super consistent and honestly just drove really good all-around. I ended up with 5 minor errors, once it reaches 15 then it's considered a fail. T...

Random Thoughts #2

Image
  Remember back when I posted "brain dumps?" Think of this as a rebrand of that lol. https://cavs4tw.blogspot.com/2021/10/simulation-by-vr-album-review.html I'm SO SORRY TO REWRITE!!! IM SO SORRY!!!! After listening to simulation for another like two weeks, I have a deeper appreciation for rewrite. The new top 5 ranking should be: This Could Be Us Exile Back in Time Get Away Rewrite Yes, Back In Time moved up two spots, chroma moved down two spots. Get Away moved down one spot. The second drop in Back in Time is just so well-designed and it's just so creative. The ripples and echo-chops is truly brilliant. I cannot stress this enough. The vocal chop transition from drop -> verse in Rewrite is SO GOOD, the melody is SO CATCHY and just so good, I don't know how one can craft a melody like that. It's simplistic, yes. But the melody is...wow Don't worry is an interesting song. I love the hook, but the dubstep is too much for me to handle. It's an absolu...

Pentapping pt. 2

PT 1:  https://cavs4tw.blogspot.com/2020/05/pentapping.html I've been pentapping for like a year now. Here's an update. As I learned new techniques and drum loops, my rhythm and coordination grew. I started having so much fun with my beats. Pentapping is just so fun/addicting in general. Today, I can now say that I'm like really good at this. I know so many drum loops and I can incorporate triplets into my beats seamlessly. Overall, the beats are just getting fire. As I'm getting more advance, practicing pentapping becomes less and less effective. I have to look at other people(lenstrumental, shane bang) and observe their beats/technique. This can be very hard sometimes if they zoomed out on their hands or if the beat is super fast. I really wonder how lenstrumental reached his level. He had nothing to refer to. He must've been lost at times, just jamming away aimlessly trying to create a new beat. I don't have proud recordings within reach, the closest one is t...

Ranking geometry dash levels

  I started playing geometry dash in like 8th grade. I began by beating Press Start  in the SubZero app, which took 700 tries. I didn't know what the use of practice mode was LOL. I grinded that so much during disneyland lm*o. Anyway, here I am now. I play during school if I have time, and I've comfortably beaten electrodynamyx. Next up are the demons. Here's a tierlist of the levels(in the main game) in increasing difficulty Stereo Madness Back On Track PolarGeist Base After Base Dry Out Can't Let Go Jumper Cycles Time Machine Blast Processing xStep Theory of Everything Geometrical Dominator Electroman Adventures Fingerdash Clutterfunk Hexagon Force Electrodynamix Clubstep Theory of Everything 2 Deadlocked Lyric(s) of the Post:  I believe, I can see light A new dawn is rising I believe, I can see fire In my eyes tonight Believe - Teminite

Letter to open in 2 years REACTION

  Dear 15 or 16 year old Wilson,      How are you doing? As a 13 year old right now, I'm really nervous about the schoolwork that I will soon have to face in high school. I have a lot of questions for you. How good am I at basketball? What's my FT%? Can I hit threes? Am I stronger? Can I finally hit hook shots? What about one handed floaters?      How is school doing? How are my grades? Is math hard? Am I reading enough? How's prince doing? How's marching band? Am I good at mellophone yet? Have I gotten into serious trouble? Am I still really short? Are my braces off? Do I have contacts? Did I lose my phone or anything? Am I fat?      Can I solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded? What's my PB for every event? 13 yr old you had a PB of 14.3. How big is your cube collection? Did you quit? If you did, it's fine but try it again!      Are you doing drugs????? If you are somehow doing drugs, know that the 13 year old you would be ext...
