Happy New Years!

Wow there's been a lot of blogging since I've been gone!

OK, yes, I'm back (in Sasebo, not Hays)! I have a lot more to say, but right now I'm tired (I just got back) so for now I'll leave it at that. Thanks guys (and gals).

My Real First Blog of 2005

The first thing is WikiMedia is super cool!!!!!!!

Not very well put, but I can't spell big words.

The New Year is here, and let us make it a great year. The Blog looks like it ended 2004 about the best I have ever seen. I looked back to the early days of the blog and it looks like we have come a long ways. But how can one say a blog declared to do nothing has come a long ways? Answer that.

An addition (and loss) to my dorm room family

For those who did not know, I had a dorm room family....me, Frodo and Bilbo (they are/were my fishies). I came back to Hays for the weekend only to discover this morning that my dear Bilbo had passed away. I gave him a proper burial, a trip down the porcelin thrown. At first I felt bad for Frodo, being all alone...but as luck would have it, before Bilbo died, he (or maybe I should say she???) gave Frodo a special present.....a little baby fishy!! (It even looks like the proud parent(s).) At the present moment the little addition to the family has no name, so any suggestions would be most appreciated. The gender is uncertain...so be creative.

New Year? Do they make tires?

Good blogginess, each and every one! Oh yeah, and happy new year, I guess. I've had a great Christmas break up to and including this point, and hopefully clear up to when school starts, which is when the break ends and I'm forced to stop having a great break.

For this new year I resolve to not have long posts, and to stop being hypocritical, unlike everyone else around here. Oh yeah, I also resolve to not resolve for new years day.

I've been hard at work on my pet programming project (well, not really. Let's just say I've been harder at work on the project than usual), and it is coming along quite nicely. Oh, it doesn't do anything, but that will change, once it does do something.

Seizing the opportunity for cheap labor, my dad has enlisted the services of yours truly to help put up siding and shingle the new garage. It's just as well anyway, because otherwise I'd get even more out of shape than I am already, and I get so speed time with my dad, and stay away from the Doritos. I sure wish I could build stuff. I once built a coffee table. It took me the whole semester of woodshoppe class (It was taught by a fancy foreign guy... Okay, not really, I just like adding unnecessary lettres to words. I think it adds a little flavor, or colour, if you will, to the whole blog experience) to do it. It's not like it is anything fancy either, and its made out of poplar. Poplar! What was I thinking?... Oh, yeah, it was cheap. Of course, my other project did much better: taking up smoking in the varnishing room.

That is all the interesting stuff I've done. I know it isn't as grande as Lestre's precious "Nipponfest 2004!" (and 2005, mostly 2004 though), where there is seizure inducing anime everywhere, and everything is all smiles and no worries, thanks to the nation's crack force of giant robotic monkey-stick comedians with magical powers Army, which are powered by rainbows, and the heat generated by the people playing Dance Dance Revolution. Seriously, though, I hope you're having a good time, Lester, and get well soon, or I'll kill you... Heheh, I'm just kidding you again, you know how much I love empty threats... And you'd better, or else you'd better start learning to play guitar without your thumbs. Oh, and Happy Birthday, 7 days from now. I think. I hope it is January 8th, because that is what I've been led to believe. As a cheap early gift, check out this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alchemy. It is good stuff.

Also, could you get me those sticks that are dipped in chocolate? I don't want the kind that transforms into a monkey. And of course, I'll pay you back.

Also, DON'T confuse emperor Tenno Heika for a sumo wrestler. I did that once, and I barely escaped with my life. He sentenced me to 3 months in prison, or to be a game show contestant. I should have picked prison. I was even more embarrassed once I got my eye prescription renewed and I got a look at him again.

Now for the Masebergs: I agree with Lester, I'm also happy you liked your penguin. To graph imaginary numbers, you need to use a special polar graph. I have it in my algorithms book, I'll so it to you sometime (This function you wanted to perform has something to do with FFT, doesn't it? DOESN'T IT!!!?) As for Jessie, it was probably better that you forgot your present at Hays, I can't imagine the reaction it would have got with your parents. They're good folks, give them each a hug. AND DON'T BURN ANYMORE TABLES! Also, if you rearrange the letters in "sinus infection", you get "Unfit in cosines," and also "Sonic nite is fun," which means you should probably lay off the math for awhile, especially trig, and start playing more video games. Or does it mean you should do more math? In either case, get well soon. Make sure your brother gets out, and away from the computer every so often. Did you know that you blink less when looking at a computer monitor, which could result in eye fatigue, dry eyes, burning eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision (WebMD)? Prolonged exposure in front of the computer can also result in loss of girlfriend, hygiene, and death of social life (Some guy).

Beibs, enjoy Super Mario 64 DS, its a fun game, but it's multiplayer leaves a little to be desired, and as you may have noticed, it is a little harder to control than it's N64 presentation. I know one other guy in Agnew that has a DS, so we'll have to test these babies out.

Jon and Sam, I know you thought the present was a little weird, but you have no idea of the power you can have with it if used properly, kind of like that one Twilight Zone episode. But be sure to not abuse your power, or else.

Kari, you need to post more often and so does Alex. Remember that one thing you were going to post, the thing about the one time you visited a loved one in California over Christmas time, and you went to the big party in the newly constructed skyscraper, but everyone was held hostage by a group of terrorists with a diabolical plan to get a huge sum of money, but you defeated each and every one of them? It sounds so exciting, it should be a movie.

Well, that's all I've got to say, so I'll talk whenever later. Have a good rest of break!

Happy New Year

Working on the House

Me and Jessie have been working on the house the last few days. We are work on what was once and will be again my bedroom. We painted it yesterday and I have by cutting wood for the closit (sp). Hopefully it will be done in a couple of days.

On one other note. We does the libery check books out with due date on a day that are closed? I have a book due and I can't recheck it becaue they are closed. Makes me mad.

On two other notes. We need to build an army of robots. I came up with the plan last night.

Have a happy new year.

heading back

ill be back in hays later this day cant wait to get back im tired of being stuck here at my parents it not like i have to fly half way across the planet to see my parents i dont even get to leave the state of kansas it just a two and a half hour drive it sux nothing but flat land and fields with the occasional cow here and there ..... i dont even get the leave the state to see any of my relatives ='( my family must have been cursed several times because now i can think of two any way the first one is the child curse it is a know fact in my family that the gender of your first born child will fore tell what the rest of your children will be and also my brother and i ..one of us when we have children must have boys because we are the last men of the family that bare our last name ive only three guy cousins and they dont bare the family name ...all the rest of my cousins are females so the chances of me even having a male child and very slim to none ..... second curse is that im doomed to never live in any other state than kansas all my relative live in kansas and have never moved any futher ....

I was supposed to eat sushi today, but ended up not

I have no luck with sushi. I've yet to eat sushi since I got here. Every time I try, something comes up that prevents me from eating sushi.

The other day my Grandma yelled at me for being taller than her. So I'm not allowed to be taller than my Grandma...she's a weirdo. I guess I get it from her. She's so funny....and short. She's one of those grummpy old ladies you see sometimes, she gets mad about everything. And we just laugh at her, cause its funny. Hahahahaha.

DEATH TO DOCTORS

So i went to see the docotor today, because the antibiotics the student health center gave me apparently didn't work and my sinus infection came back. So there i was, back in another doctors' office, getting another prescription for another set of antiobiotics. And then, I take my first pill. Thirty minutes later, I begin to regret it. Apparently, one of the "slight" side affects is abdominal pain. It says so on the side of the box. What it doesn't say, though, is that if you take these pills, you will soon feel like your stomach is receiving electric shock therapy from little sadistic men that live in your digestive system. Sinus infection, nay, even death, would have been preferable to this. And then, guess what: mom decides i had better take all of the antibiotics. for being my mother, she sure wants to see me die for some reason.

Newton

Newton was the man. That is all I have to say.
Have a happy new year

Yay

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed the penguin we got you. It was quite easy to pick out a gift for you, hahahahaha. For other people, on the other hand, was not as easy, oh well.
I fixed my parent's computer! I found over 1000 viruses. McAfee does nothing to protect the computer, so I got them Symantec Anti-virus. I got it for free from the Virginia Tech website. You have to be a student to get it, and appearantly they think I'm still a student there. Hey, as long as they're not charging me, I'm not complaining, hahahaha.
Enjoy the rest of the break, ya'll.

the new dvd player Santa's gift

ok i think santa has given me the best gift of all ...a new dvd player no only does it play dvds but it also plays mpeg-4 and divx movies so all the anime ive got i can now play in my dvd player without having to convert it to dvd =D ...also by the end of this week im going to have my Nintendo DS playable over the internet for those of you wondering how im going to acomplish go here... Xlink ...this is how =P thanx to my gaming friend in the UK

Feliz Navidad

Despite the lack of the proverbial Jolly Ol' St. Nick, and a serious lack of White Christmas that would drive Bing Crosby to tears...or laryngitis, whichever proceeds first...another Chirstmas passes by. No matter how many grammer rules I broke in that first sentence, no matter how many friends and family are absent at the dinner table, and no matter how bored we get, there is still that warm feeling in your tummy that the holidays always bring. Oh yes, that warm feeling can also come from drinking too much cocoa.

But, anyways, to proceed on with my lengthy monologue...I would like to take a moment and quote the eternal Charlie Brown: "Christmas is too commercialized!" And as I sit beneath my fiber optic tree I wholeheartedly agree.

And that brings me to my final thought as I prepare for the Christmas dinner - what, exactly, are Cornish hens? Some sort of stunted chickens? Some traditional repast of Hobbits? Or do they, in the words of my wise mother, just have asthma?

Another pointless essay, brought to you by a vacation-crazed soul, starved for contact with the outside world.

A ?

I was wandering what the graph of

z(x,y) = [y^(ix)-y^(-ix)]/2

looks like.

I know for z(x,e) the graph is sin(x) and I think z(x,0) is 1 for all x and z(x,1) is 0 for all x. But I don't know how to find it for all y. The problem is the imaginary numbers. If anyone knows how to create this graph just let me know.

Peguins

Three peguins to rule them all. One peguin to crush them all. One peguin to watch them all. One peguin to bring them all and in the snowball bind them.

That is what christmas left me with. The cutest and fatest was from shayne and lester. Thanks!!!!! It was so cool open your persent, I was told it a cool pillow, but it was much cooler! See the factorial on the cooler. Nice A. Well I got other cool gift, but the peguin family was the best. Hope you are all having a good christmas.

And a Happy New Year!!!!!!!

Not bathing for 2 days makes Lester a stinky man....

....but no longer do I smell, for my parents DO love me and came to pick me up at the bus station after I took the first bus to Sasebo. Well, my mom did, my dad had to go work. Turns out he was asleep though the whole ordeal, he didn't know I didn't make it till this morrning, hahahaha. I AM ALIVE! Yes!!!!

hum dee dum dee dum hummy hum

haha, now i'm keeping the blog alive! so what's new paul? i haven't seen you in a while....at least not for about a second now - weird, isn't it? oh look, there you are again. well, i'm going to make a trip to fridge and see if there are any juiceboxes left. nice seeing you. no! you don't get any! put that juicebox down! ok, i have to go defend my territory.

I am keeping the blog alive

So till lester posted, I have been the only one posting this break. This tells you that I don't have anything to do. Well, I have things to do, I am just not doing them because I don't have to. Well that is all for today.
Live long and proper

Holy crap I`m in Japan

I`m lost and stuck at this one place cause my parents didn`t come to pick me up, and since I arrived late (and since it was sunday) there were no longer any buses going to Sasebo (my home town). I was this close to sleeping outside in the streets, but the police people told me there`s this one place open 24 hours a day, and that I could just go there (and they have internet). So I`m here, though its a bit expensive (I have to pay for every hour I`m here) but cheaper than a motel, and better than sleeping on the streets.
I couldn`t get a hold of my parents either, for some reason the phone number was not working. Don`t know why....so my parents have no idea where I am either. Hahahaha, this is great. I hope I don`t get yelled at for this...

What's This Life For (The Meaning of Life)

Last night Lester and I discovered the meaning of life. Sadly, I can not share the meaning of life with the world because I am still working on getting it copyrighted. I can say it includes ants and seagulls.

On a lighter note, you should wacth this clip for DK2. It was produce by ShayneCo.tk and the starting actors are Dixie & Diddy. Notice, as you wacth how the hot balloons are never used all the way to the halfway barrel. Additionly, the bonus level is still played.

Mystery Bad Fish Smell

One of our rooms has come down with a case of rotten fish smell. These are the facts as we know them so far:

1. This smell has happened once before, a little less than a month ago.
2. It smells like rotten fish.
3. The smell comes in waves; it is not persistent.
4. It has no known source: We've sniffed around the room: Refrigerators, microwaves, food stuffs, trash cans, electrical equipment, the heater, furnature, etc.
5. Other standard means of finding the source also fail, such as sniffing towards the more powerful odor.
6. It is not coming from the window.
6. It is not coming from either Lester or myself.
7. I repeated the number 6 twice.

That's about it. I would appreciate any theories and solutions to the problem.

...short of cleaning the room.

Agnew got Fire Alarmed!

At approx. 10:15, Agnew reported their second fire alarm in this fall semester. Allegedly, the fire alarm in the South third floor girls wing was pulled, which caused the Agnew residents to evacuate and the fire and police departments to dispatch.

Residents of the girls third floor was questioned, but no one was found to have done it.

More on this story as it is revealed.

Again with those third floor girls. Yeesh. So rowdy.

Jessie didn't do it, she was studying. And she's sick.

A tip from postive paul on what it is to be a friend

friend -- a person you know well and regard with affection and trust

Friends forgive and forget each other. Friends help each when needed. Friends postively support each. Friends have fun together. Friends get along.

Well...

Thank you Jon, thank you. I hope you choke on shit and die too.

Edit: I forgive you. I apologize for being mean.

Dir En Grey = Japanese marilyn manson

Its a bit disturbing but I love this song:

"A summer morning in 1983, always at the side of my beloved Mama
please smile at me like you always do, the morning light shining on you, distorting your face.

Mama's strangled neck, she hangs lifelessly from the heavens, I guess it's bye bye Mother.
unable to bear the silent tears and deep pain the flower dies, I am alone.

Without a face gasping voice
Without a face distorted voice

come, rape me, until you get it out of your system I'm yours Papa.
But you know, Mama's looking down on us from up there.

My Sweet Mother smile, cause my heart's about to tear apart laughing.
Deadly Sweet Mother the hate spreads with the nausea,
but i'll be patient and hold it in, while he loves me.

Now it's a winter night in 1992, always at the side of the Papa I despise.
well, today, like always he's making love to me again,
I keep my eyes open to remember the look in Papa's eyes.

I fiercely plunge what I had hidden straight and deep into the back of his neck bye bye Father
Naked. The deep-red flowers blooming in the winter scenery, blossoming as a sea of blood,
I am alone.

My Sweet Mother smile, cause my heart's about to tear apart laughing
Deadly Sweet Mother with the hate the tears running down my cheek dry up, the season dries up
My Sweet Mother smile, cause my heart's about to tear apart laughing
Deadly Sweet Mother The child I'm pregant with is crying, but I'll hold down the vomit."

Pricelessware

I don't remember if I've told you about pricelessware.com before, but it a good site, all of the software is mostly for Windows and is free, so go there again if you've been there before... (what?)... Anyway, you should wander over to the Unzipper section and get a (free) program known as IZArc.

"But Shayne, I have the standard decompressor that comes with every Windows installation with Windows 98 SE Plus! and up!" You might say. That's all well and good if all you work with are zips. But life isn't always so simple, and there are many compressed file formats on the Internet that it can't open, like RAR, 7-ZIP, TAR, JAR, A, ACE, ARC, ARJ, B64, BH, BZ2, BZA, CAB, CPIO, DEB, ENC, GCA, GZ, GZA, HA, LHA, LIB, LZH, MBF, MIM, PAK, PK3, RPM, TAZ, TBZ, TGZ, TZ, UUE, WAR, XXE, YZ1, Z, and ZOO, that IZArc is able to extract.

"But I have WinZIP (or WinRAR). It's good enough, and everyone uses it." Here's a lesson for you: The general public is a chump, don't do what everybody else is doing just becuase they're doing it. IZArc is freeware, but WinZip and WinRAR are shareware, meaning you have to pay for it to get rid of the nag screens. And while it might have some compatibility issues with some of the extra Strong Encryption of WinZip, it has so many other advance features that WinZip doesn't have (like the extra format compressions).

Death by Lava Lamp

This is the story of the man who decided to heat up a lava lamp on a stove top. It is a tragic tale full of mystery and flying glass shards. It is a story that will touch your heart and make you ask....What on earth was he thinking?

A man in Kent, Washington, placed a lava lamp on a hot stovetop. It exploded, and resulted in his death when a glass shard lodged in his heart. He was only 24....death by stupidity. This story brought to you courtesy of CNN.

give happy thanks day

did you know that every year, the President of the United States pardons a turkey? apparently, ever since some dude started doing this years ago, its a traditional way to kick off thanksgiving. they pick out two fat turkeys to be the lucky birds to be pardoned and spared the oven, and then have a little pardoning ceremony. this year's lucky bird is named Liberty, his vice is named Freedom. and then they get petted by kids, and then they get sent to a farm to live out the rest of their numbered days...i say numbered, because they are so fat that apparently they usually die before the next thanksgiving. and all that turkey goes to waste....

Nintendo DS

I was finally able to play the Nintendo DS the other day, it was pretty neat. But they lied though. It only has one screen, and you can't touch it. But it was cheaper than what I thought it would be, and still provides hours upon hours of entertainment. Here, take a look.

Crazy stuff

It is scientifically proven you can swim in maple syrup just as fast as you can in water.

I am giving blood in the Chez Republic next time, In the Chez Republic as an incentive to donate blood they are giving 2 free pints to anyone who volunteers.

In Virginia Safe and Sound

Hey people, this is Lester letting everyone know I arrived in VA save and sound. I got here Sunday, 11:00 am (10:00 am your time), so I made good time.
On the way here I got lost twice, ran over a dead deer, drove off the road and into the ditch, and averaged about 20 miles over the speed limit most of the way here, yet I surrvived. Weeee.
Those energy drinks really work, they got me all awake and stuff. Woo Hoo! And then when I got here, Dan's mom made me real italian pasta! Yay! I'm as happy as can be. You guys take care and have a good Thanksgiving.

Lifes Little Games

Lifes Little Games
by Alex Taylor

Twas a midday early
my head did throb
my eyes were said to be pearly
but my mind was quite a job

For the night before this day i sat at a stool
when a woman came in and gave me a rule
she said don't you touch my precious jewel
or i'll show you what is truely cruel

I looked perplexed...
had i touched this womans jewel?
i almost became convexed
to where i almost lost my cool

then my dear friend lest
said to me with much zest
I think if i spew
I could have a few

I looked at him and he at me
I said to him your smashed
now one more round so we may be at three
but to the bathroom he did dash.

Now in the bathroom he found a man
who once he new so well
the man was sam
who once he thought doth smelled

Sam was a man who many called Jon
for you see Jon and Sam were really one as seen
One for two and two for a ton
for a ton will get you far but one will not clean your jeans

When lest returned to the man named Al
He noticed him still staring at that rather large gal
She accused him of touching her jewells as the story already told
But when could he have done such a thing oh so cold

Al's head began to shake
He remembered like a quake
After 5 hours of drinking i finally get a brake
the jewells i did touch i really wanted to take

The crowd Rose as Al Preached on
I am drunk and you lead me on
For you see the moral of the story is
when found in an akward position
Always remember his bright incquisition

Jewells no matter what the cost
Will Always equal boobs when being told off!

What a game life did pay on my drunken heart

The previous statements were an exageration of the truth in no way did the names or characters represent actual people...except AL

Massacre of a Machine: Computer Conquest

After one month, the video of the death of a PC is here. It's thirty seconds of joy, but a lifetime of memories. Needless to say, this is an epic movie that will rank up there with the likes of Ben Hur and Star Wars.
Go to http://scatcat.fhsu.edu/~sdriley/ to download and enjoy it.

that was some good chicken.

AWWW

Man Bush won. I didn't like him he looks like an idiot and smells like one to. And his cabinet realizes it also. Even his top cabinet members like Colin Powell are resinging and leaving the country. The term apocolypse has been changed to Bush and we are going to have to leave the planet to get away. I am starting to book my flight with that company that is making civilian spacecraft. D#$% republican squirrels are always trying to take over and destroy the world.

The sky is gray this day

Someone changed my alarm for me so that it was 7:17 p.m. and not a.m. I thought this was very kind of them. Not wanted me to wake up and all. Lucky for me my internal clock got me up on time, and I felt better waking up more naturally. I felt nice and sore from our little game of BB, but other then that life is great. Got some homework and this gray day, and I am writing on the blog because I am bore. Maybe I will make shyane play me in racketball later today. Well everyone live long and proper. :-)

I'm sorry

I'm venting a lot right now. I've said a lot of things I didn't mean. I guess I didn't really have any other way of venting other than blogging (which was a stupid idea). So I'm very sorry for all the things I've said. You all are good friends of mine, I'm just being really really stupid right now.

whatever

don't you hate when you try to help someone and they go and backstab you on a blog. maybe you should just get the hell out. the feelings can be mutal. if you are going to leave what are you waiting for. so either grow up or get out but quit crying on the blog for attention cause i am about sick of you whinning. go get help or something the world will still go on here wether you are here or not.

You make it sound like its a bad thing if I leave

You should be happy to get rid of me. All I do is cause problems anyway.

ok i havnt posted in quite some time really busy lately so here you go

By the way Noah

Thank you so very much for talking with me. You totally saved me man. You're an awesome friend. I'm glad I know you. You know, I think you were my first friend when I moved to Virginia. Doesn't that make you proud!
You did in 2 hours no one here did in 2 weeks. You all are crappy friends man. Wait, I take that back. I'm hungry, angry, feel like crap, and you just kind of look at me weird, what the crap. I'm cranky. Damn it. Blarg! Thanks for talking. Virginia, where my good friends are.....I hope.

Ok, change to Math Major

So, I'm gonna change to just a Math Major, that way I should graduate earlier. Then I won't be just a quitter...I guess.

My life = waste of time and money.

Well, my confidence is totally shot.
Man I hate you guys. Go Da Me!

The Incredibles!

Wow, that movie was great. It had everything I like in movies, and now I wish I had super powers, beyond the "Be oblivient to everything going on around me" super power, and that's not really a power.

The movie really taught me something about myself, and I can feel it. Or it might be gas.

Hmm, I should have written this sooner, because I've forgotten everything about the movie, beyond its goodness. Oh well.

No more school for me

My parents are very disapointed. Well, at least my mom was, I talked to her. I'm sure my dad will be pissed.

The PC... the movie... the art.

...
...
...
I had no idea I was going to get this involved. Honestly. What I thought was a simple, done in one weekend thing now spans almost two weeks. Make a movie and move on, that was the plan.

At least, in the beginning.

Now I'm obsessing about it constantly. I've set aside my programming. I've let my hairstyle go. Video games, I play not so much. I used to be able to shoot beams of electric Velveeta from my iron eyelash. I've begun to lose touch with what is reality and what is fantasy. I used to be able to shoot beams of electric Velveeta from my iron eyelash. I've lost my short-term memory and I forget what I talked about only seconds eariler. I'm not shooting beams of electric Velveeta, I forget stuff, and I'm lost on reality, not to mention not shooting beams of electric Velveeta.

Every spare moment I have I research on the minutest of details that one can when it comes to something like this. It's no longer just something I can toss aside. It's consumed me. It IS me. It's a

Now that I've said that: No, Beibs, I still don't have the destruction of the PC done. I'm sorry. Softens the blow, doesn't it?

Honestly, though, I'm learning so much from it. The movie is so short and simple, but doggoneit, it's something I like.

I'm sorry

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'M SORRY! Please don't hate me...

I don't mean to avoid you

its just that me = insane.

I don't know what I'm doing! Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!
I think I stepped on a pile of shi.........



weeee

I have problems

I'm thinking of quitting school. When I go to Japan this Winter, maybe I won't come back (though I'm sure my parents will kill me).
I wish I could change for the better. I want to be a better person, I wish I could care about my grades and work hard in my classes. I wish I wasn't so lazy. I wish I wasn't so depressed, wish that I didn't have these thoughts of suicide. I wish I were better at talking with people. I wish I didn't act so stupid around girls. I wish I weren't so emotional over the dumbest things. I wish I didn't act so weird...or say things that hurt or offend people. I wish I got along with my father. I wish I knew how to write better.

Man I have problems....
Kelly Center here I come!

.....Maybe I shouldn't have posted this in a public blog...

I'm so lazy...

I'm giving you props for that one Jared, as I feel that it is great words to live by. In fact, I'm going to make it my creedo... or is it motto? Anyways, I probably won't and I'll forget all about it tomorrow. Don't blame me, I wasn't the one bashing my head into various walls and doors through out my teenage years... oh yeah... nevermind.

I'm sorry

I apologize for my last post. It was quite crude and indecent. I'm sure no one other than my good friends found it funny (it was kind of an inside joke). Anywho, I'm sorry for what I did.

On that note, I would also like to apologize to Shayne for Tom and my actions after the wine and cheese party. We shouldn't have stripped naked in front of you, and probably shouldn't have done it in front of Jared and Jana as well. Though it was funny when Alex came out of the shower naked, hahahahahaha.

Oh wait.....

Racketball Rocks!

I never knew how fun racketball is. I want more of it. It's involves everything that's fun: Hitting things off walls, running into people, and possible head trauma. Gotta love it! If you haven't played it, then I highly recommend that you figure out your way towards playing it. The only problem is the fluorescent lights. Watching a ball in 60Hz is weird, but you get used to it. Incandescent is the way to go there, baby.

Corky and the Juice Pigs

Corky and the Juice Pigs
Check that band out, they are really funny (at least the 2 songs I've heard were really funny) and they sound really good. They sang that I'm the only Gay Eskimo song. And the Dolphin Boy song. Good stuff, I'm telling you, if I can I'll see if I can download some more songs and spread the goodness around

A new game for your amuzement

hey, this is a fun game, try it!!!

Have someone tell you who to vote for

www.presidentialguidester.com If you can't decide who you want to vote for, let this baby be your guide. Answer simple questions, and you'll find out who would be your ideal president. Luckily for me, I got mine right (hint: It's not Nader). It was somewhat fun, anyways.
