Most of yesterday, March 12, 2006, was spent at the high school for the family day of our youngest sibling (my sister … duh!). What was so nostalgic about it was that it brought back the memories of my own time in high school. And as far as I know, we did NOT have a single family day during that time. Family day celebration is self-explanatory but for the sake of lengthening this post, it is basically getting all the family members of the students crammed inside a small classroom to watch the family members’ member perform with the other students of the class he/she is a member of. See how simple it is logically?

So there I was anyway with pretentious enthusiasm watching my dear sister perform their much practiced acts. Some were quite funny while others were outright dull. Bottom line is it sucked; a total waste of time (well except for the Holy mass celebrated). Out of boredom, I recalled how a Jesuit run all-boys HS was way back in my time. It was much better than the co-ed one of which is now the case.

One thing comes to mind and that is the existence of fags has not been eliminated. As a matter of fact it has blossomed. I remember then that one of the most used excuse for turning the HS co-ed was to minimize, or even eliminate, the existence of homosexuality. Instead, I see the latter. In my sister’s class alone, you can count the number of real men with your two hands. In my opinion, the change from all-boys to co-ed has had more cons than pros.

This is by far the best looking template I have made for this blog. It’s really cool how this customization turned out because I wanted to go with a simple theme and what better way to do it than use shades of gray. What surprised me was how the header image turned out to be great and it blends perfectly with the concept I had in mind (see the footer of this blog for the credits of the image). I must admit though that the overall design for this template is an integration of the many blogs I have visited and therefore is not entirely original. The coding of the CSS and (X)HTML was made entirely by me though.

Aside from the template design changes, I have also changed the title of the blog to Wantonness. According to WordNet, it means:

the trait of lacking restraint or control; reckless freedom from inhibition or worry; licentiousness: the quality of being lewd and lascivious

Okay, I don’t understand exactly what it means but I like the way it sounds. Lacking the restraint or control … hmmm … yeah I agree with that. Since this is a personal blog, I will not let anyone dictate what I can and cannot post. This is starting to sound like a re-introduction of my blog which really is not neccessary anymore since it has been around for some time now. I just hope that my handful of loyal readers, which is saying too much, find it easier to read and navigate my blog.

Of course, nothing is perfect but we could make it damn near-perfect. So I will be more than happy to receive any feedback regarding the site design down to my lousy writing and everything in betweenn. Till then, enjoy!
