Je Suis La Frommage Por Tu Le Monde!

Which means “I am the cheese of the world” pretty much.

Last night, my sister Beth broke out a Wisconsin Cheese Hat she and he coworkers have hijacked from her bosses office. It is a bit like Amelie and the yard gnomes, and so the task is to take pictures of the Cheese around KC doing various things.

Today, I have been asked to buy the cheese a cigar and take pictures of him at a restaurant, a bar, and in a hammock. Isn’t corporate america fun!

I’m meeting Beth for lunch and we’re going to brain storm more ideas. If any of you have good ideas of things we can do with the cheese please suggest them!

I wish I knew some girl in KC so I could get her to dress up in a sexy little outfit and we could get pictures of her and the Cheese out for a night on the town. The only problem with traveling is you don’t know anyone whenever you have to take pictures of cheese! Surely everyone can relate to this.

Break Has Gone Too Fast

Once again Break has gone to fast… tomorrow is drive back to Oklahoma day, do laundry, make up studying we put off day (because we all did this), go to sleep, and wake up for school the next day day.

Damn.

A New Name

One of my good friends started calling me “Pope.” It cracked me up, but I really enjoyed it. I like it just as much as Ozzie. The weird thing is I responded to it… for some reason I really like the nickname Pope.

Fall Break in KC

Kansas City is a wonderful place. I’m not sure where the majority of you all have gone for fall break, but hopefully it is as pleasant as KC.

I brought my Spanish book with me, but lets be honest. We all take our books home on break, but none of us plan on actually using them. I might use it to create friction to get myself out of an ice spot while driving, but there is no ice around at the moment.

KEG PARTY!!!

Today I went to a birthday party of my niece Kiera’s friend Gabriele. It was great to watch three eight year old kids run around and dig for pennies in the sand box, bash open the treasure chest pinata, eat cake, and watch Gabriele unwrap his presents. The theme of the party was “A Pirate Birthday.”

I remember my fourth birthday. My mom made a Mickey Mouse cake. She took a picture of me with it, and I put my finger in the icing - she bopped my hand and I cried. We have a picture of me crying about it. That was a long time ago. My birthdays are fun, but I think people would be ashamed of me if I still smeared cake across my entire face when eating it.

Pirates of the… Back Yard

Gabriele the Fierce Pirate chased Kiera and me around for a while and held us at plastic sword point. All the parents gave me compliments about how wonderful I am with little kids. Little kids are great. Kids are likeable for many reasons.

First off, the things they say. For instance, Kiera made a card for Gabriele and told him “You can put it on your mantel piece.” Hearing an adult say that would be boring, but hearing a three year old say that is hysterical.

Second, they don’t really complain about much. What do they have to complain about? They are three. There is no social pressure, peer pressure, parental pressure, very few rules, and people paying attention to their every movement all day long.

Plus they get naps. The world could use more naps. Especially at college.

Girth

I am writing this on a laptop. Laptops are wonderful. Small, Stylish, and Sleek. Points for aliteration! The downfall is if your fingers have any diameter to them you can’t type on the damn things. Every time I hit a button about seven letters appear on the screen. asdfasekjhasdkcjnsa happened when I tried to hit the Z button.

No, I am not exagerating in anyway.

True Translations

When reading menus at restaurants, movie reviews, etc… I’ve started a new habit of dropping all the adjectives and adverbs so I can get an accurate view of what is really being said.

For instance, Beth and Eddie got the following invitation from Kiera’s school…

Forty years of Montessory tradtion commenved this month. Join Highlawn founders, graduates, students and parents as we celebrate this tradition.

High lawn is always at the forefront of Montessory education. The School has grown to five Primary classrooms, the Elementary class is in the third year of operations and we have recently begun Phase II of the Outdoor Learning Environment, which extends the Montessory philosophy to the great outdoors.

Let us take a closer look at what is really being said…
After forty years, we need your money now more than ever.

Highlawn has good teachers who are all threatening to leave if we don’t raise their pay. We are making the playground bigger with leftover funds.

I haven’t had the patience to surf around on Xanga a lot in the past few days, but don’t worry. I’ll drop by everyone’s sites and leave comments and stuff. I feel bad when I don’t visit other people’s sites and they have been visting mine. Karma. I’ll visit everyone tomorrow. You should see the number of Xanga sites in my bookmarks….crazy. I even uploaded them to my website so I can visit people while I’m away! Who-hoo!

Kentron: your latest post made my laugh muscles hurt.

I Am My Own Visitor

Arrive to my site to post this new entry, I happen to be my own 4000th visitor. So, I guess all the cool prizes I was offering will go to me. That should make things much easier to work out.

[My Kind of TV]

If I ran a tv station, I would hire the people who do [Adult Swim], a place where the text between shows is the best thing going.
[I love [Adult Swim].]

Who else would bring us pinnacles of animation, such as Futurama and Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Our lives would be lacking great quotes…

“Your things have now become his through the ways of our actions.”
“The villager are angry, I must make a sacrafice to appease them.”
“It looks like my pool is hauling ass around my yard.”
“For a ten-speed, I’d kill someone infront of their own mother.”
“I was hoping we could have a dialog about that.”

Bugs

The best part about bugs is how they make the satisfying cruch sound when you smash them. I think we’ve all experienced the following… you grab a kleenex or magazine to go squash a bug. You see him, you lock on, and wham… but wait, where was the satisfying “I have smited thee small buggest” sound? So what do we do? We poke and prod around the magazine or kleenex until some sort of satisfying sound is achieved. Until that sound has been grasped, we’re all afraid the bug is still alive and waiting to get vengance.

Physicists

After having a discussion about autographs and how crappy our own signatures are, Kenny and I were interested in other famous people’s autographs. For instance, Steven Hawking’s. Turns out, his autograph is a thumb stamp.

The funny thing is, he couldn’t stop you from getting his autograph. You could just walk up, push his thumb into an ink pad, and then into your little autograph book. You know, the little autograph book we all carry for those daily situations when we run into superstars and last week’s one hit wonders.

At first we thought his autograph might be a sound recording, such as “Seth, Keep it real. Steven.” It would come on a big plaque like those singing fish, except there would be a little Astrophysicist of Steven, and when you squeeze his wheel chair he says that and then sings songs, such as “Great Balls of Fire” or “Hurt.”

Johnny Cash and Steven should have teamed up to do a collaborative album covering great songs. Such as Hurt, Imagine, Across the Universe, Beautiful Day, Roll out, and more.

I am a Musical Bard

I used to play trumpet. Before that I played piano. Now I play Guitar.

Some would say I am at the beginner-beginner level. But it is more of a mastery level. My approach to learning guitar is to learn each chord, one at a time, master that chord, and then move on. So far I am at Mastery Level 1. I only know the G-chord, but damn can I play it like a mean mofo.

Twins Aren’t Always Great

In that connotation they are. But when it comes to movies, not every movie needs a sequel. Originally, before I noticed the mistake, it said “not every movie needs a seagull.” Seriously. For instance, Pulp Fiction doesn’t need a sequal because it is a well balanced movie, which has a fully inclosed plot for the most part. A sequal would ruin Pulp Fiction.

Silence of the Lambs… wait it did have a sequal… Red Dragon… and guess what. It sucked! In fact, it sucked so much it ruins the power of the original. Kind of like having too many children. The first one is good, but the second one is such a trouble maker he stains the image of the entire family.

MIIB - This could have been a good sequal, but the writing was horrible. The first MIB was clever without going overboard. MIIB though was ridiculous. Nothing quite fit, they stretched the boundaries of everything set in the first film. It was running away with a bad idea. They went over board. It ruins the charm of the first. Sometimes I refuse to acknowledge the existence of a sequel. This is a case in point.

X-Men - This is a case where things get better. The first X-Men was okay, but was dreary in that the plot was incredibly weak. This happens sometimes, especially when they are having to introduce the charecters for a first time to a large part of the viewing audience. They couldn’t go too in depth or they’d have lost a large chunk of audience interest.

The second X-men was awesome! It had good action, was more adult, had a better plot, and was all around one of the best action movies I’ve seen in a while. One aspect that has made X-Men great is the limitations they put on the mutant powers. For instance, Night Crawler can’t teleport anywhere, he has to be able to see where he is going. Storm can’t use the weather to make her fly, her powers aren’t that accurate. Etc… putting limitations on their powers means that in certain situations they will have to find alternative routes to work around a problem. They can’t always use their mutant powers - and that kicks ass.

Observation

The worst comedians are on comedy central. Ever notice this? There are a few good comedians every once in a while, but for the most part, they suck. I think I’ve said this before, but oh well.

Ken-vy

I am suffering from a severe case of jealousy after a visit to Kentron’s room. He showed it to me. The pictures of him hanging out with Coldplay and the autographs they gave him! I asked him if I could have the autograph. “It is made out to me - kenny” was his response.

I want a Coldplay autograph so bad, if he gave me his, I’d have my named legally changed to Kenny. That way my name would match the autograph, which says something like “Kenny, You are awesome.” I think secretly they were saying “Kenny, Why the hell didn’t you bring Seth? We hate you completely. -Coldplay.”

Lunch….sometime…

Having noticed a certain person over the last week or two, I decided to muster up the courage to ask her to lunch after hearing she is single.

Me: “I was wondering if we could eat lunch sometime?”
Her: “Sure, but I have a boyfriend.”

It was really nice of her to say yes, but I’m not going to hold her to it if she isn’t comfortable with it. I’d hate to start something between her and her boyfriend. I need to learn to be interested in people who don’t have boyfriends. It would make things much easier.

Don’t Impede on Me!

I don’t think most people realize how the university works. For instance, Physical Plant, Dining Services, Vending Services. Each is its own separate business, which is associated with but not owned by the University. This is because the government, on state or federal levels, is not allowed to compete with private enterprise.

For those of you who know what the Tennesse Valley Authority was, it impeded upon private enterprise, which is why the whole thing turned into a bloody fiasco.

Fun with Spanish!

Most spanish text books will tell you “Tu es bajo” means “He is small.” Though gramatically correct, if you spouted this off to someone the end result would be a fist in your stomach, because “bajo” actually means “scum bag.” It means little, but as in the person is small, cowardly, scummish, etc… type of little.

“Tu es moreno” most books will tell you means “He has brown hair.” Actually, it means his skin is dark.

“Tu es pardo” though gramatically correct is wrong. Pardo is used by native speakers to describe animals. So once again you have a fist in your stomach.

“Mirar la television” means you are literally looking at the TV. Not watching the shows on tv, but literally looking at it. For instance, if your tv broke you would say “Yo soy mirar la television.” Meaning you are inspecting it. “Yo so mirar television” without the “la” means you are watching television shows.

My source for this information, if you are wondering, is Senora Dora, who is a native speaker from Columbia. So I trust her commentary on such matters.

Now we should all be able to say “the animal-brown scumbag is looking at the television.” If you have any fun spanish phrases, leave them in a comment. Make’em good!

Why We are Wise!

Why do we say clockwise and counterclockwise? Because among other things “wise” means way or direction. Where in the hell did the phrase “the whole nine yards” come from? I’m too lazy to look it up.

Spice up Campus!

I believe they should make campus more exciting by turning the sidewalks into board games. For instance, the sidewalk around the library lawn could be a huge monopoly board. There could be a living chess game in the southern half of the library lawn, past the flower beds by the student union. Chutes and ladders could be by the NRC because it has all the funky curvy sidewalks. And there should be a 24/7 game of chinese freeze tag.

Then they could get preacher Bob to stand in a different place every day and there would be a “Find the Bob” game. Each day’s winner doesn’t go to hell.

Update: After finding out Lanney’s pet peeve is the word “pet peeve,” I changed the last heading.

Seth’s Week in Review

First off, proof of the “Featured Content” available here.

I propose a Xanga contest. We’ll give an award to the first person who recieves two eProps from IdiotFactory.

I see myself as a nice person. I don’t consider myself incredibly witty or the life of the crowd. It is really weird to me when people say they love or admire my Xanga site, or hanging out with me, or anything else. I always enjoy hanging out with other people, so it is a good feeling to know it is mutual.

In a bold move, being sick of American Journalism tactics I am patenting good news.

In physics lab last week we shot ping pong balls out of a weird cannon thingie. It was awesome. If only the lab had included a Jolly Roger flag and a filth talking parrot. It made me want to addition for the next Pirates of the Caribean. I could wear an eye patch and have a cool Piraty name. I’ve been practicing saying “Argghhh” and “Walk the plank, me matey!”

Architecture struck this week, and I averaged 4 hours of sleep a night. I am proud to say I have yet to miss a class due to oversleeping. In the end my project was turned in on time. Everything was hunky doory doory, Children of the World!

This weekend seems pretty laid back. Everyone is doing homework and sleeping, which is not the combination of maximum fun. My parents came up today. We walked campus, checked out a car show, ate at McAllisters, and talked lots. I haven’t been home this semester. It was really nice to know they miss me.

Andrew saved me today. My mom was entering a speech about something serious when he asked if he could hang out for a little bit. Thank you, Andrew! There is nothing worse than a visit with a serious conversation in the middle of it.

High School Memories

The scene was high school band class. Tyrel, a fellow trumpeter, was flirting with a girl named Crystal. While wearing her jacket he reached into the pocket and exclaimed “Wow, a giant tootsie roll!” His face turned red as held up the tampon in front of everyone.

Moral of the Story: what is in a woman’s purse, jacket, or backpack is private for a reason.

On TV!

I’ve been watchin the Conan O’Brien’s Ten Year Anniversary Special over and over on Comedy Central. Finally everyone has seen Pimpbot! The special is good, but the bits they showed of Andy Richter weren’t all his best. A few more memorable ones should have been in there.

Kids In The Hall is back on television. A truely talented group of Canadians doing comedy. What a wonderful concept! How come people from other countries are always witty? For example, “Whose Line is it Anyways” is largely a Canadian cast.

Speaking of which, the new Man Show is lacking one thing. Wit. The new hosts don’t have style. One needs style to be funny.

Bleakness of Russia

This weekend I found out why Russia is such a bitter country. Mesha, a Russian student here, told the following joke: “This little girl went to a pet store. She wanted a rabbit.” From there the joke went down hill. Not to mention the fact it had no punch line.

As though the weather wasn’t shitty enough in Russia they have to listen to crappy jokes. No wonder they invented Russian Roulette.

Things that Annoy the Piss Out of Me

1.) Metal Hangars - for some reason they frustrate me. They tangle to easy and bend out of shape quickly. What an inferior product. Besides, they don’t work as well for bows and arrows as their plastic counter parts do.

2.) Folding Laundry - I am a perfectionist deep down, and I can’t get clothing to fold perfect. This causes me great mental anguish.

3.) Cut and Pasted Conversations from AIM on Xanga - Don’t get me wrong, a few lines is fine, especially if the content is truely funny. People abuse the cut and paste feature too much. Here is a rule to follow: only cut and paste what you would be willing to type out yourself. No one is really that interested in reading the 2 hour long, 500 line conversation you had over AIM with a friend about starving people in Sudan. Get to the funny part and move on.

UberGeekdom Achieved

Yesterday was wonderful. The best part was when I found out I made Featured Content on the Xanga front page! Over 300 people came here yesterday! If only they had all commented!

Now Accepting Tributes

We have a project due at 5:00 tomorrow. I’ve spent at least eight hours a day here this week and have managed a collective 20 hours of sleep (generous estimate?).

Remember, Seth Hardiman Industries accepts all forms of tributes from cookies and juice to money to friendly visits. However, from 5:30 to 8:00 we’re busy, and after that the doors might be locked - so call 4-7501 and ask for Seth if you are feeling generous.

Being in a very creative mood, I came up with lots of content for my next post, but it will have to wait until the project has been turned in and I’ve had a decent nights sleep.

Everyone have a wonderful day! Good luck on any tests!

Updated: I MADE FEATURED SITE ON XANGA! WOOT! WOOT!

Updated: I think I_Could_Be_Wrong has either fallen victim to a ninja assassin or become Godzilla fodder. And last friday I had an amazing 170 visitors! Wow, how in the hell did that happen?

the O’Crappy O’Colly Effect

Today in the news countless things were reported that no one gives a damn about, such as “Sleeping position reveals personality” (cnn.com). The internet news is like a bigger version of the O’Colly, only with more spelling errors and bad articles.

Speaking of which, a friend working at the O’Colly is going to interview me about “Sex, Drugs, and Partying at OSU.” She picked me for obvious reasons? Um, no. She picked me because, well… I know her and she is too lazy to interview someone who is into the one-night stand, sex, drugs, and videos scene.

“Lawmaker Calls For Return of French Fries to House” (yahoo.com)
Really people, who in the hell is lame enough to actually call them Freedom Fries? The boycott on France was a normal American activity lasting the time span of a commercial. Besides, how many French products do we import anyways? NONE! ZERO! ZIP!

“Microsoft giving away $250 Million” (cnn.com)
Sounds sucspicious? Well, it is. They are giving away $250 million to help establish Windows-powered computer labs in schools around the globe. Obviously they are hoping to establish a greater windows consumer market. Wouldn’t you be suspicious if I walked up to you and said “I’ll give you $25 of free cookies, if you will convince someone to pay me $500 next year for the same amoutn of cookies.”

“Airlines ease reservation policies as hurricane nears” (cnn.com) They are allowing all passengers on flights bound to North Carolina’s Outer Banks to carry hand guns, weapons, and luggage given to them by unknown persons. “We figure if the passengers don’t get each other, Mother Nature will” stated an Airline President earlier this morning in anonymity.

Dinner Fiasco of Danger

On the way to the Market to eat tonight, Jason, Alan, and I witnessed a car wreck. A woman in a pickup re-ended a guy in a sedean of some sort. Neither were injured and the only visible damage to either car was her license plate was bent.

They pull into the nearest parking lot. As we are walking close by we can hear her say “Oh, what are we going to do? We don’t have to do anything, right?” The guy responds “No, we’re going to call 911.” She proceeded to get pissed off at him as though the entire ordeal was his fault. It was hysterical.

Note: If you are going to tailgate people, you’d better have God personally running the brakes for your car or you are going to eat more ass than the entire cast of Queer Eye for a Straight Guy in a Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison.

After seeing this, we witnessed two close calls. Another re-end incident. And a head on collision. Both were narrowly avoided. All three of these took place within a minute and a half or so.

El Sidekick es de Preacher Bob!

Preacher Bob was out today in force! He has a sidekick, who is much less psycho. In other words, the sidekick is less fun. If I were to make a Preacher Bob Action Figure, it would include the following…

Preacher Bob Doll
1.) “Bible Throwing Action” activated by a button on his back.
2.) “Whistle Blowing Action” when you squeeze his legs.
3.) You could place it on the Library Lawn Action Set and he would sing different songs (Sorority Song, Cheerleader Song, etc…)
4.) “Damnation Button” with digital sound effect that says “You are going to hell.”
5.) Bongo Drums, because once upon a time Bob played Bongos. Ask him about it.

Preacher Bob’s Wife Doll
1.) A free “Bob’s Ass” video tape recording.

Preacher Bob’s Side Kick
1.) Digital sound recording that says “Teach me more, Bob!”

Head of the Class

Today in Studio, Megan (it doesn’t really matter who she is) recieved a phone call from a guy who is “hot.” She practically had an orgasm when the man called. She was about one ring from showing everyone her O-face. Ever see anyone react this way? I don’t believe she even knows the guys first name.

I like to think somewhere out there is a young woman who responds that way when I call. But then I remember “I’m a scrony, middle class, white male” and the illusions end.

Another Person Lost

In studio another person dropped. The only problem is everyone I like tends to drop, while most of the people I don’t like as much stay around.

At least most of the people dropping lately have been high grade students, meaning with each drop I’m not losing an architecture friend, but rather advancing to a higher grade percentile in the class.

Attention: If you are visitor #3,000 please leave a comment! (you can tell by scrolling to the very bottom of the page)

Festival!

I made a an 89.5 on my Spanish Test! If I’d wanted to harass Senora Dora, I could have gotten another three points added to the score. But I was happy. Besides, I have a bunch of bonus points in there. Apparently stupid people didn’t do as well.

Hopefully the physics test today goes as well.

Alan had a multiple choice algebra test. You could use your notes too.

Question, is there even a point? Why didn’t the teacher even waste his time to write such a horrid thing? He should have given everyone 100’s. Unless his plan is to have anyone who misses a problem ejected from the university, in which case he is infinitely clever.

Arnold’s Dreams Dashed

Arnold’s dreams have been dashed as the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the October 7th recall election. When asked for his thoughts on the subject, Arnold replied “Hasta la vista, baby.” They will be talking more about it in their new book, scheduled for publication tomorrow, called “Oprah’s #1 Choice.”

1.) They didn’t rule against the idea of the recall, but rather against the antiquated voting machines still being used in many of the poorer voting areas. IE - they replaced the punch-tab voting machines, the kind that caused such an uproar in Flordia, for the white folks but not for anyone else.

2.) The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals makes many decisions which are later over turned. That courts rulings seem to be overturned about as often as we check our own xanga sites for eProps and comments in a given day.

When JAVA Dave Girls Go Wild!

Nothing much exciting is going on. Except Kylie kissed a girl and hasn’t given us the low down. I speak for everyone on Xanga when I say “Give us details. How long? What kind? With who? Was it a dare?” I’m not asking of my own accord, but rather for those who are to shy to ask. It doesn’t interest me….

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKlahoma

Lots of work this week, but tonight a little Xanga time has been scheduled. Oh yes, this coming weekend catch me live at THE GREAT STATE FAIR OF OK-LAHOMA! Question, does that qualify as a song? I’m not performing as much as I am just going.

God did well

Yesterday Church was great. And seeing as the weather was beautiful, I walked to Church.

After Church people always congregate, as congregations do, and talk about the sermon. I wonder if after the Sermon on the Mount, if there were discussions like… “Well, the sermon was okay. But I think He could have been better prepared.”

Quote:
Nick: “I don’t know english that good.”
Me: “Me to.”

Updated: I can always tell when IdiotFactory hasn’t commented because my eProps will be even until that point. Once it becomes an odd number I know she has visited. She cracks me up… Crazy girl.

I Hate Dick

I’m not sure about most of you, but I for one hate dick. A few of you may be thinking “hate is perhaps too strong a word.” Not in this case.

Sure, he may look good with a hat on, but he sends me these damn spam mails. Not the kind about increasing the size of dick, but rather about electing Dick to office.

Yes, I hate Dick Gephardt because I am on his e-mail list. Dick gets around apparently, because a lot of people are on his e-mail list, such as Kylie.

Does anyone else feel the same?

Rodney Carrington at the Zoo Ampitheater

Friday night, Jason, Jenny, Andrew, Alan, and I headed to OKC to see Rodney Carrington at the Zoo Ampitheater! Jenny works at the zoo, so we met her there. We got to park inside the employee parking, and then we got a private golf cart trip around the zoo. There were a lot of animals, seeing as it is a zoo, such as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, ostriches, and zebras

The evening was perfect for an outdoor concert. Cool, but not cold. Anyways, the opening band was good, and the comedian before Rodney was very funny. Rodney of course stole the show. Talk about a funny man. See him if you get the chance.

You could tell the show wasn’t very expensive to put on, seeing as before the show they had a power point presentation showing the dates for the rest of the tour.

Common Sense News

National Inquirer’s current issue on the stand is about Arnold Schwarzeneger and his wife. On the front it says, in big bold letters: “They say `I Love You’ Everyday” and “They never miss Church on Sundays.”

Why is this sensational? Everyone should tell their spouse “I Love You.” EVERYDAY. Same for parents and children. Good people do this. This is common sense.

Same goes for not missing Church on Sundays. If you are Christian, YOU SHOULD GO! Hello! This shouldn’t be a new concept either. This too is common sense.

I’ve attended Church religiously all of my life. My parents never let me skip because “I wanted to sleep in” or such. It was a good thing to do, because it means I don’t fabricate excuses to skip. The most I have ever missed Church is at college because I’ve not put in the effort to find a Church to attend here. Though today I am starting. I genuinely feel bad when I miss Church.

Foreign Policy

Arnold should work on his speeches and run for a different position, such as President. I can picture him at a press conference. A reporter asks “What is your foreign policy?” And Arnold would RIP his shirt off, flex his biceps and say “This is my foreign policy.”

I watched his speech today. He talked about lowering taxes. “A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, and stupid; and you know it” to quote Tommy Lee Jones from MIB.

No one likes paying taxes. But we all have to. So everyone shut the fuck up about them. I’d love to not pay taxes, but I do appreciate the things taxes provide, such as… hmmm… POLICE, FIREMEN, HOSPITALS, STATE UNIVERSITIES, ETC… (especially the etc…) Last time I checked we all enjoyed a stable government, and well… it takes MONEY TO RUN ONE! How come people manage to miss this point constantly? Those who can’t grasp this should have it beaten into them with a wiffle bat (points for those of you who caught the wiffle bat refrence from “the Farside”).

Ever been to Europe? Pretty awesome place. Ever been to the Louvre or the Eiffel Tower? Those are run on… TAX MONEY! Such wonderful places will never happen here because the populace is too damn anal with money! Anything historic and monumental in Europe, basically the entire continent, is funded by TAXES. Sure, they pay heavy taxes, but over all it does benefit the entire population.

Decent Movies

Watched “Spirited Away” tonight. I love Anime. The plot was coherent but seems to have been organized by a group of first graders. Beautiful animation though.

Watched “Moulin Rogue” also. Amazing coreography and the way the songs were implemented was superb. The settings were vibrant with detail. But something about the movie didn’t win me over. It was okay.

Quote:

“I should be able to run over as many children as I please!” - Mr. Burns

A Public Apology

I’d like to take a minute to apologize, publicly, for treating Diane like shit. I don’t feel happy about it - we all do mean things on occassion even when we know they are wrong.

She is probably completely pissed, which is every bit her right. Anyways, I e-mailed her too. Hopefully, I can patch this crappy situation up somehow.

Pictures I Promised

To see the photos follow this Link
1.) The Stout Hall Ampibench
2.) My dad photographing me
3.) OSU Aerial Assault on Balloons
4.) Kylie and Company
5.) Stephanie and Company
6.) Sara and Company

New Profile

As you all see, the Ebola converted me into the Edmon Low Library. Actually, that is an unedited night photo of the library. We’re talking pitch dark outside with a delay of about 5 seconds - hand held. Cool, huh?

Expect one every few posts. Some might even be good pictures.

Risk - Solution To Our Problems

Today Russia and South Africa, also known as the “Global Powers,” backed in the USA in givin Iran until October 31st to prove they don’t have a secret weapons program. Why not invade and then ask questions… why stray from the republican policy that has gotten us this far! Why didn’t Mexico back us too? Then the world would cower.

Don’t change horse midstream. Unless your horse breaks its leg in the race and you have to shoot him. Note: this is in no way a refrence to harming the President. I might not like the man, but I don’t wish death on anyone.

Where is a good sex trial when you need one?
Be sure to elect someone who has a taste for ugly broads in the next election.

There is a lot wrong with our country. Maybe Bush isn’t in a conspiracy to make his oil tycoon friends rich, but the fact that it is possible and that our politicians are corrupt enough to make it believeable is a horrible sign of the times. Our president is more of a threat to global peace than any terrorist. There is a reason we don’t give stupid people guns and positions in high political offices.

All global problems should be solved by a gigantic <b>Risk Tournament</b>. Different types of play would be used in different situations. For example, if you want to invade - you play Mission Risk. If you want to nuke someone - you play Global Domination (best out of 3 of course).

I can’t wait to escape to europe for a summer.

Spain!

Speaking of which, I am loving spanish. And it has improved my french by tons! The two are so similar! It is wonderful!

Mothers!

I saw a bumper sticker that said “Do you follow Jesus this close?” I told my mom, and before I’d finished the line, mom chimed in “It should be closely.” That would be the language teacher in my mom.

Bike Wreck!

My friend Kirk, while riding on his bike today in front of Jones, was ran over by a KILLER CAR OF DOOM. He is okay, and maybe the car wasn’t red, but rather a black jetta. Anyways, he is fine - the driver, a woman (did i need to say that? jk - women can drive too), felt really bad. Luckily she was going slow because she was pulling away from a stop sign.
