Yes, the title of this post easily defines the substance of this website.

As much as I longed for an opportunity to have a voice online, to communicate and exchange ideas with my readers – it just wasn’t happening. Many of you abhor the fact that I’ve been absent, and for that I apologize.

The reality of the situation is that I’ve got better things to tend to. The web is still important to me…but this website – not so much. I contemplated on what I’d do with this site and the best thing for me to do is to let it go. It expires in early July anyway, thus if I put anymore time into this site it would be for nothing because I don’t have the means to re-new the domain, plus the person who purchased the domain has disappeared off of the face of the Earth. How this website is still online, I have no clue. I don’t know where Jenn went and she hasn’t replied to my e-mails.

I’ll be back…somewhere. New name, new place, new ideas. Blogging is inevitable for me, just at this point in time it’s not so “me.” The good bloggers have fled the scene or leaving just as I am. I kind have no point here….

But like I said, I’ll be back. Maybe sooner than you think. You just need to keep an open eye for the name Jay. I miss you all already!

So you may ask what does “Mr. Google Got Into My Noodle” mean. I’ll just tell you it’s self-explanatory. But, I guess I can go a little more in depth for those of you who just don’t feel like using you noodle at this very moment.

Yesterday, I had another meeting, not with CYL but this time with my Elite Scholars Club. We’re just a group of obsessively smart individuals who wear a spiffy uniform like the one I’m wearing in this post (on your right). We have meetings every Thursday at school, and then once a month with all the other Elite Scholars from the other schools, sometimes at a College or just a large place we can all meet.

Yesterday’s topic of the meeting was Leadership Theory. Okay, so if you read my previous blog I was just at a Leadership meeting and I seriously couldn’t bare another 4 or 5 hours listening to something I already knew; though I was proved wrong. At ES, we first watched a video on Obama. That video was quite interesting and I learned a lot about him I didn’t even know. It made me just admire him as a leader more and more. Then, we watched and took notes from a power point about different types of leaders. I won’t go too much into detail on that, but let’s just say I’m a Transitional and Contingent leader. Perhaps I’ll write a article about all that I’ve learned and post it on the site. Though, I don’t know if visitors are interested into matters like that. Are you?

After a little ‘preface’ of information, two speakers came. First was a lady from the AT&T company, and another was a man from GOOGLE! Let’s just say, this guy compared to the AT&T lady was ultra cool and I loved his presentation, partially because well… I’m an internet addict so everything he said was of interest to me. ~Go figure~ Both of them talked about what kind of jobs we can get at their companies and how we would go about getting them. Of course, the more appealing was to work at Google. The main office, located in California is like a fun-plex, you can play volley ball there, they feed you all three mails of the day, get your hair cut and of course do your job. Most of the people that work there say “Working at Google is the next best thing to not working at all.” Gees, after what I saw I agree with them whole heartedly. Here are a few random facts that I learned and thought might be interesting:

• Google is only 5,000 days old. (Let’s say about 10 years)
• Google started in a garage by two individuals who ‘borrowed’ computers from their university.
• Google only only makes their money through advertisements and/or their applications.
• There are roughly 18 million people online in the U.S.
• 61% of the worlds sales occur online.
• There are 2.67 billion searches everyday.
• 183 billion emails sent a day (that’s about every one every 2 seconds).
• 13 hours of video uploaded to YouTube per minute.

There are tons more cool facts like those, but I couldn’t possibly list them all. All I know is that I want to work at Google! Almost all of the workers are each making 100K or more as their annual salary and they have fun on the job. It just can’t get any better than that. It’s too bad they only hire about 2,000 of the 100s of thousands applications they receive. Ah, so bitter sweet.

I ASK: What is your future profession?

I work well under pressure. In fact, I always seem to do better on tests, projects, or anything when I have a hardcore cram session, trying to put in as much information in my small brain, or put forth tons of effort toward something physical. Why is this? I don’t know, it’s just one of the many, yet interesting things about me.

Recently, I was faced with a situation in which my “cram success” was going to be proven inept. If you read the last blog you’ll be informed that I had a lot of work to do that would be due tomorrow and that there was no way I would get it done. I was elated with the whole issue and disappointed in myself since ultimately, the situation at hand was my fault. The project I have to complete is worth to the equivalent of six test grades, meaning if I were to not have it complete my grade would be so horrible I’d go crazy. I mean, just imagine since I have excessive hate toward the letter “B” being on my progress reports. I’d cry if I ever received one of those… what can I say, I’m a perfectionist. Well, at least when it comes to my grades. A ‘B’ is just unacceptable in my book, case closed.

Anyway, along with that project, I had a test today which I could not study for since I didn’t bring my book home over my four day weekend, nor did I even know we were going to have a test. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, the test came.

I’d taken the test and was unsure of how I did. Since I have an IB teacher, she makes her test all short answer, fill in the blank, or true or false. She doesn’t believe in multiple choice so that makes her tests that much harder. My teacher graded the tests before class was over and she told me I had gotten an A on the tests! In fact, I was second (by just one point) in the only three A’s that were made. I was happy, because that was one task completed… there was more news.

Because the class’ over all average was a ‘B’ she extended the project I was worried about one extra week. So now, I have the weekend, plus 5 days after that to do my dreadful project. I’m not going to fail! It’s weird because just last night, I had my best friend wish me all the luck so that I’d get the things done… and that’s just what I have. I was going to cry tomorrow, knowing nothing would have been done and would have then had the worse mark in the history of my school career. Just the thought of it makes me shudder.

So now, I’m wondering.. what saved me? Theres some super natural force, or person that helped me get through this I’m sure. It sounds crazy, and I don’t want to call the postponing of the project and my ‘A’ on the test a mere coincidence. Something saved me, and I thank what ever that “it” is!

Tomorrow Saw 5 comes out. I won’t be able to see it thought because my mom just left for Orlando and I’m home alone for two days. So maybe next weekend? Besides, all my time is going to go into my project so that I don’t procrastinate again. Let’s see how this plays out.

In the mean time.. more stuff will be added soon, but from this moment on; school comes first! You should consider allowing it to come first for you too, if not already. Hope all is well!
