Have fun in California, Lester!

Well, the title pretty much says it all.

Umm...

In other news, DOS Box 0.65 and Wine 0.9.something are out. They have been for awhile now, actually. I know you don't care. Don't try to fake like you do. I can see right through you.

And go to digg.com, because it is an informative news-type site for computery and sciency stuff, which I like. Good stuff.

Here's what I prepose

So today is the first day that I woke up to the new Daylight Savings Time changes. Not yesterday, but that's a different story.

I didn't like it. I could barely see or think anything. More than usual, I mean.

So, I say, when the next DST change happens next year, all businesses, events, and schedules should be pushed back 1 hour. Job starts at 8 during the winter? Now it starts at 9.

Personally, I think it's brilliant: It both socks it to the man and creates a state of pointlessness at the same time. I love it.

And for my link of the post, here it is: The Simpsons Movie Trailer. I'd geek out even more about it, but apparently Satan knows no bounds and requires the user to download QuickTime 7. Luckily, you can download QuickTime Alternative if you like socking it to the man. I like it better, because I know I won't have a window open up everytime I want to watch a movie asking if I want to upgrade to the pro version, that's why. I don't even know if they do that anymore, and I don't care. I love it. Oh yeah, the trailer was OK too.

Insert Witty Title Here

Lester, that sucks about your dad. From now on I'm no longer flipping off truck drivers while I'm on my bike.

So anyways...Warm, sunny days; green grass growing; robins eatin worms--Spring has definitely sprung. You know what that means...it's time for some good clean fun: frisbee golf, barbecues, sand volleyball, more barbecues, soccer, even more barbecues, and swimming. Oh, and barbecues, too. There's nothing like eating a piece of pig straight off the grill in 90+ degrees F while being swarmed by insects. I can hardly wait. In honor of the season, I think we need to get all the former Agnewtions back in Hays again. Lester: I know its quite a drive, but this is imporant. Jon and Shayne: who really needs jobs, anyways? In lieu of your return, I suppose I'll just eat all the brats myself for consolation.

So I had one of the shortest job interviews in history. I'm hoping that doesn't indicate a negative outcome....I didn't get chased out of the store by the Dillon's bouncer--I mean grocery boy--so it wasn't too bad. I guess I'll find out. Until then, those that read the blog: Have a nice day. Those that don't: you are not cool, so don't even ask (which is pointless, because if you don't read it, you wouldn't ask anyways...).

California!

So on the 5th, I'll be flying over to California to visit my sister. I'm kind of excited, but at the same time disappointed/sad. The reason why is because my mom and my grandma was supposed to be there as well, but they no longer can. See, my dad was riding his motorcycle when he was trying to pass this truck. But the truck was hogging the road and wouldn't let my dad pass. My dad, being the short tempered person that he is, decided to flip him off, which angered the truck driver, and drove my dad off the road.
Now my dad is in the hospital. He broke both his legs, and one of his arms. Apparently it was pretty bad, but there's no threat of losing his life, so that's good.
Sorry about the depressing stuff, but thought I'd blog it.
On a brighter note, when I get back from Cali, I'll post pics. It's gonna be awesome.

Spring is Here

The grass is truning green in non-quad areas. The trees are buding and the time just changed. It is cool outside and hot in my room, I just do not understand Agnew heat. SGA elections are much less a thing this year. I can hardly tell they are coming.

Over and Out

The Couch

Jon's couch came out so much easier then it went it. It took like 10 seconds and it was out. Must have been because Shayne made it so much more flexable on the way in. :)

Looks like it might stroam (sp) here soon. I hope it does it would be nice.

righteous!

Happy Daylight Savings Time

In honor of this great holiday, I propose everyone set their clocks an hour earlier. That's right, earlier. I know you'll be two hours late for everything, but just say you're running on squirrel time. So I got my first job interview! On Monday, I am hoping to become a proud worker at Dillons. WOO HOO! And if I don't get it then I'll know I REALLY suck at life. Until then...I have a research paper to finish. Enjoy the weekend.

Swimming

I has been a long time since I was swimming, and I think I am going to go today. Or at least hope I can make it. If it is warm out side, and depending on if Jon comes and when he comes. So chances are I will not make it to swimming, but I want to.

I go now ...

Presenting your 2001 football team.

The 2001 Jackrabbits: Feared by many, defeated by few... one, I guess. See if you can spot me! I'm the man in a red shirt. I'm also sitting down while wearing shoes if that helps.

Why did I publish this? Well, I scanned this picture into my computer many years ago (Fall of 2001) and saved it as a '.mix' file, a.k.a. Microsoft PictureIt!'s propriatary image format, not knowing at the time that I would later outgrow the programs usefullness, and even come to despise installing it on any computer, lest PictureIt! taint the Windows Registry with horrible Mumbly-Joe. Eventually, I installed it anyway and converted all the pictures. The End.

Also, Paul, about that blog spot bar on top now: You're Welcome. And if you aren't, then it's your own fault. In any case, I'm happy that the link is back as well. Apparently, the guy that made the template surrounded the tag with tags. How about that? I have no idea what I just said.

Update: I forgot to mention that this isn't the FHSU football team, but instead my high school football team. Seems obvious, but people that are unlucky enough to find this site, without knowing any of us, may not know "What the deal is."

A link

Someone could part a link on the blog to publish a post and I would thank hime (Shayne). I like blogging it keeps me busy, but I do not have to do my homework.

What's the sound of one blog blogging?

It's so great to see this blog reinvigorated with things other than some idiot talking about an expensive Linux handheld gaming device.


Spring is really neat.


That's all I can think of at the moment.

Why did I post this, it's just wasting everybody's time. Oh well, have fun!

I Suck at Life.

I need a job. Since I'll be staying up here this summer taking Spanish classes (yay) and paying rent for the hypothetical apartment Kari and I will be staying in, money is good. If I started taking steroids and gained 50 lbs or so I could work at Orschelin's, since they're only interested in "heavy lifters." If thats not discrimination, I dunno what is. I'm also looking into being a part-time contract killer. I hear the hours suck, but the benefits are good. Staci told me I could take her job at Applebee's--but I'm really only interested in their food. Quite frankly, being forced to serve it instead of eating it would be cruel. I think I'll apply at Home Depot, but the way the roads work out there I don't know if I'd ever be able to find my way to work. Unless I get GPS and a dune buggy (I really wouldn't need a dune buggy, per say, but they are cool). My mom told me I couldn't work at Wal Mart because it is the evil corporation that will bring about the ruin of society (and yet she still shops there). Maybe I'll just forget this whole job foolishness and just fish disc golfs out of Big Creek all summer and sell them. Self employment is good.

Bringing it back to life

Yeah, its starting to finally look like spring here as well. It has stopped snowing, and the sun is actually out. I even went for a jog. Good ol' Blacksburg.

Spring is here

So in any effect to keep going on "Bring the Blog to Life" campain, I am write more today. The weater (A topic you can almost alway count on) is much more spring like as of late here in Hays. The wind could let up some and it would be better and I can not wait for a big thunder strom to roll thought. That is all I got. Wait. Dan S. told me a joke the other day and here it is. It only work if you say it out loud to someone so I am not doing it justice (o but what is Justice?). Anyway. "I don't know how to tell you this, but I am a mute". There it is.

New word of the day to use: righteous

Life, the Universe, and Everything

Is it technically a Fort Hays blog when only roughly two of all the original members are FHSU students? And for that matter...is it technically a blog when no one blogs? Brings to mind the old question "if a tree falls in the forest but no one is around, does it make a sound?" Debating this one seems an absolute waste of time to me, so now I'm sorry I brought it up. But hey, this is one of those rambling, pointless posts that Paul was reminiscing about. Brings back fond memories of the good old days...back when I was young and...wait...

What happened?

So few blogs these day. I recall the day the blog was use for all kinds of things. Good things a few bad, and lot nothings. Somewhere live caught us up and we all are busy now, I guess. Well this is my attpemt to bring the blog back to it glory days. I think we should blog once more. Long live the blog!!! Most I should be working on my poster and I am not.

That last post was a waste of time

Handheld Linux

Sure, it doesn't look quite as slick as a PSP, but it does have an air about it that smells like electronic goodness. I'm talking about the GP2X, a handheld gaming device with a Linux kernel.

Look at the screen, man! 3.5 inches, 320x240 resolution TFT LCD. The Nintendo DS screens are each 3 inches and have a resolution of 256 × 192. The PlayStation Portable's is a crazy 4.3 inches, 480x272 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

We could sit here and compare specs all day long, but that isn't why this device is getting blogged. It's the fact that they've opened up nearly all aspects of development on it. That means all sorts of homebrewed entertainment that the folks at Nintendo and Sony have tried so hard to prevent on their machines. Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, and arcade emulators are already developed for the thing! Great stuff. They even give you a dev kit on the site, which would be great for me if I knew how to program stuff (Don't tell my employers. They don't know that I randomly hit keys until the program does what it should).

You can read more about the $200 device (as of the writing of this article) on the wikipedia article and a review of it on Blether.

What? $200? A PSP costs $250! Hmm... Well, I still like it anyway.

One word. Nothing more nothing less. One and done. It is time for my big solo. One is the loneliest number and it is all I need. There can only be one

The Magical Trevor Trilogy (for now, anyways)

Trevor is awesome. This blog goes out to our groups favorite trumpeter! Or should I just say a person who plays the trumpet instead of trumpeter? What's the correct term?
Magical Trevor 1
Magical Trevor 2
Magical Trevor 3
That whole site has some cool stuff, really. Check the rest of it out.

I used to play the trumpet, now that I think about it. I don't think I'd mind either term, if I was still playing it. Now, I'm called "Programmer" by some. And by others, it's "That weird guy." Which is so sad. It seems like just yesterday I was being called, "That weird kid." Man. Time flies by so fast.

And another thing! Why, when somebody is driving, or going real fast in general, people say "Whoa! He's bookin' it!"?.... I tell you, I've never seen anybody read a book and I think to myself "Man, look at his speed of movement relative to me! That's absolute craziness!"

I hope all you folks in Hays are having fun! And if you don't.......

....well, I can't back the statement I come up with next, so whatever.

Shayne's Apartment, part 2

So, this is a picture of the closet of my bedroom. Wow. Why did I take a picture of that and not my bed, which is nice? Oh well.
Here is a picture of the messiest part of the house, which currently holds the computer. Yessir.
Here is picture two of that room, showing my computer. Still looks messy.
And finally, as all grand tours end at the garage, so does this one. Here is the garage. I just thought I'd clarify that, seeing as how you can get it confused with all the houses that have a room with a big sliding door, no carpet, and lack of frivelties, like completed walls and heating. The previous renters decided to leave a water-bed frame in here for some reason (It's in the lower left of the picture, so out of frame that you couldn't tell. That's so like you.)

Shayne's Apartment: part 1 of 2

This is the building that I live in. See the windows at the lower left corner of the place? That is facing north, and is where I live.
This is the living room. In the foreground, you can see the La-Z-Boy that has survived college. Yo can also see the TV and various other electronics that also came from that era of my life. The couch? Brand spankin' used. Many other items were lodged in my room at home as I was learning about stuff and stuff.
Here is a better view of the couch and the new recliner. It's pretty nice too.
The dining room, as seen from the couch. Those are old chairs from a Pizza Hut somewhere. Now they have white house paint on them for some reason.
The kitchen. The microwave and toaster are hidden by the Refridge thingy, and you can't really make out the dishwasher that I've only used once.

eh

The awesome Chuck Norris link Shayne refused to post (something about running children and sheltered mothers?)

This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny

I was planning on uploading pictures of my house.... and I will eventually. But I wasn't planning on this little jem falling into my lap, scalding me, and making me miss work and causing mental anguish to the tune of six million dollars. Unforetunately I spent it all on bionic implants... but now I can crush aluminum cans using my forehead with little to no drain bramage.

Of course, It would take more than just a regular link to delay my putting pictures of the apartment on the web (other than the fact that I'm lazy and haven't done it yet). No sir.

Just so you know, I was tipped off of this link by my co-workers. It's nice to know that the time they've spent in front of a computation box hasn't crushed their souls and senses of humor. Yep, it's a good thing indeed.

I was really psyched about Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Desiny. I mean, look at the title, man! Too bad it got off to a rough start with Shaq, Shaq Fu, and Aaron Carter within the first 30 seconds. All three are on my devil list, however I hear some people like Shaq and Aaron. Dispite this, its rockin' tune and constant pop-culture references rank it very-high in my book.

Some people might get offended by the gore in this film, especially that last scene. So don't watch it, stupid. Here it is: The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny, and this is the direct link to the flash, so you can download it and watch it full screen, if you'd like.

Would you like the song enough to find the original and download the goodness that is the song? Download it from http://fyad.org/7p2z.

I will get the pictures later. So don't worry!

well its been awhile since ive posted here mainly because ive found myself spending more time on homeworks and my two time demanding jobs and less time surfing the net, however, I've decided that after this spring semester im moving not sure where i just need change. Hays sux (sorry to those who like it), but i need to get out of here i plan on finishing my degree online since i basically have nothing but gen eds left.

I'm look at going east ive got a couple of job applications out and sent my resume out to a few radio staions in the new england area.

also lester i got ahold of gunslinger girl been watching it i like it, but im running out of anime to watch if you have any recommendations id gladly accept them.

Happy Holidays!

What a ride!

Well, the last semester is practically at its end for me. I've finally taken all the classes I need to in order to get that sweet, sweet honey that is a degree. Specifically in Computer Science. It's been quite a ride, and I must say that I have amassed quite a collection of experiences. Oh yeah, I also learned things inside class too, but the neat thing about college is that people who went to college usually remember everything else EXCEPT for the actual classes themselves.

These past 3.5 years were great. It has been an honor to know all the people that I call friends, even if they did do some weird stuff to my MSN IM name. It was quite a ride, and I was lucky enough not to hurl or get stuck next to a screamer. I would call the ride Cobra9000, the twistiest and speediest track this side of the Rio Grande! Watch out, it's gonna getcha! The ride would also be operated by a bunch of hicks, apparently. But it is the people inside the ride that are important, not the operators.

I think I lost track of the point inside that last paragraph somewhere. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world, even if it were possible without the intense brain surgery and a high probability of brain damage that would make it possible to trade the experience for something else, like possibly the super power of seeing 12 seconds into the future. Yeah.

The WAR

A war has started. That is the war of students agaisnt the evil rule of the tyrant Cartwells. The evil tyrant has taken advange of us long enought it is time to rise up and show evil that good will win. The leader has come to us. All we must do is follow. (if you did not get the pun read the part about the leader again and think about it) On a more real side, please write Hammond, the leader, or stop by the res life office and tell them why you do not like the food Cartwells makes. Close your eyes and let the good food roll on.

The Sneeze - Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions.

So I was looking up why the FedEx truck has an arrow in it (Don't ask me why I thought that was a good thing to research), and I found this neat blog, The Sneeze - Half zine. Half blog. Half not good with fractions. Anyways, lots of great comic goodness is dispensed on this website, but my favorite section is the collection of jokes from his five-year-old son. The author prepares you though: These jokes themselves are not funny. At all. Don't apply any logic to them, it just ruins the awesomeness of the joke. Trust me.

So, when you read them, I suggest you get a friend that actually likes stupid humor (this is KEY!), and read them as the creator of the joke intended: As if it was the most hilarious thing you've ever heard. EVER. My sides were thoroughly split after reading them this way.

Oh yeah, and the website also points to a neat article of a neat, almost Grizwaldish, Christmas lights display. Hey, anything with the Trans-Siberian Orchestra has got to be good. Watch it here.

Have a good Christmas everybody!

DataGalaxy - Legal Torrents Site!

Data Galaxy

Hey Shayne, I thought you might be interested in this. Its a torrent site that only contains legal stuff. Basicly it means you can download whatever you want from this site (demos, games, whatever) and not worry about breaking the law.

Anywho, that's all, hopefully you'll enjoy it (and anyone else that's interested...).

Alex Chiu's Eternal Life Device

So, you want to live forever? I don't want to spoil anything, but here's the answer: Magnets.

...

Yup. Magnets, by jove. But don't go all willy-nilly with them. As it turns out, if you don't make the eternal life rings correctly (he explains how to make them), then you'll get sick within hours. I expect if you wear the mal-magnet rings for even longer periods, you'd probably explode. Just a guess.

But don't stop there! Get the footwear too!

And here I was, eating healthy, exercising right, sleeping proper amounts, treating cuts with anti-diseasing agents, having proper hygene... JUST TO POSSIBLY EXTEND MY LIFE, when all I needed was some magnetic rings to rule them all.

Merry Christmas

 

Happy Thanksgiving

The bird is in the oven, the relatives have converged upon the house, and someone almost died this morning when the M&M float knocked down a streetlight at the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Family, food, and fatalities...It must be the holidays! I'm currently the only person under 50 in the house...if I'm lucky I'll get to sit at the adults table for dinner; I have a stake in that 21 lb turkey. Happy holidays.

MuffinFilms

MuffinFilms, as the name suggests, is a collection of films dedicated to muffins. A dozen films, in fact. Some funny ones too, I must add.

You should really go there and watch all of them yourself (the entire process is about 5 minutes). My favorites are 1. HUNGRY!, 2. psst..., 6. The Muffin Tree (Especially this one!), 8. Feed Me (interactive!), and 12. MufFinale, although you really should reserve that one until you've watched all the episodes.

I will never look at muffins the same way again. Amy Winfrey: Person with an odd sense of humor.

Wired News: Riya Eases Pain of Pile of Pix

Riya software recognizes faces. Interesting read. I'd try it out, but... you know.

Oh yeah, and as a double blog feature, make sure to check out spamgourmet, a method of giving a website that insists on needing your email address an actual address. Once you get the information you need... kill it. It forwards the email to any real account that you have, so it isn't exactly like another email address, but more of a path to your real address that you can shut off once you don't want people emailing you anymore.

!!! BREAD IS DANGEROUS !!!

Research on bread indicates that:

1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users.
2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests.
3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations.

4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread.
5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month!

6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis.
7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days.
8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts.
9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person.

10. Newborn babies can choke on bread.
11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute.
12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling.

---

In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made:

1. No sale of bread to minors.
2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers.
3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread.
4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage.
5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools.

This article was written by B.S. Wheatberry in a desert after consuming mass quantities of yeast bread then realizing his canteen was empty. (seriously :P )

StumbleUpon: The best thing that has ever wasted my time.

StumbleUpon is neat: I click a button, and it randomly finds a page that includes one or more of my favorite topics. The number of my bookmarks has at least doubled since I started using it almost a fortnight ago. A FORTNIGHT!

Setting it up is simple, especially if you have the Firefox browser. Simply go to the StumbleUpon extention page and the download the extention, and then enter a username, city, age, gender, and the email address (at the bottom of the page) to send the password info to. Don't worry, there's no chance of spam or spyware. Don't forget to check the boxes of the things you like.
If you are an Internet Explorer user, you can the the IE StumbleUpon toolbar instead, if you want.

Once that step is done, you can click on "Stumble!" and start tripping around the 'net. You'll most likely visit some sites you've visited before, but don't worry, keep stumbling. Don't forget to click on the "I like it!" and "Not-for-me" buttons to train StumbleUpon according to your interests and other like-minded people.

Like I've been saying, I'm hooked. And if you find a site that others might like, don't forget to blog it.

Bill's interpretation of Rocket Man is funny all by itself, but it made me appreciate the attention to detail in Stewie's spoof on Family Guy. Great stuff.

Heat Vision and Jack

The Unoffical Heat Vision and Jack Fansite is apparently one of many websites promoting this cult hit TV show.

Some things you need to know
Jack Black plays an astronaut, and is now the world's smartest man.
Owen Wilson plays the voice of his motorcycle: The motorcycle with the mind of his unemployed roommate.
Ben Stiller is the director (He IS the director, he doesn't play one on the show).
... well, that is to say they did: this show was passed up by FOX in 1999, or something.

I checked out the introduction for the show (click on Jack Black's face in the upper left corner), and I must say it showed quite a bit of promise if you get the joke: It is supposed to be cheesy. I know, I know... you probably already knew that. Some people don't. Humor in the form of everything being cheesy is sometimes hard to detect by some, and that's ok, you're probably higher class than me so at least you've got moneys.

More NY Stories.

While I was in New York I didn't get to go sight seeing too much, which kind of sucked, but I did get to see the Museum of Modern Arts. That was really exciting. I got to see a lot of famous art works by Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh (Starry Night was especially quite moving in real life), Seurat, Monet, and many, many more. I really wish I had my camera (and that it wasn't broken), cause they let you take pictures there.
One of the places we ate at was a Brazilian all you can eat B-B-Q place (and don't let the name fool you, it was high quality). It was soooo awesome, if you ever see one I recommend you go! But go for lunch, dinner is really expensive.
At night time, we usually went from bar to bar looking for live bands. One of the "bands" we saw was a one man band pretty much. It was this Irish guy with an electric acoustic guitar, a few effect pedals, and a loop pedal. Basically he'll play a part and the loop pedal records it and loops it so he can play a different part on the guitar at the same time. He would also record himself banging on the guitar to simulate drums (he'd hit it in different parts to get different sounds). And if he needed backing vocals, he'd sing into the guitar and it would record that and he'd sing to that. It was a really awesome show! Plus I really liked a lot of his songs.
We also saw another band called The Sick F*cks. They were totally not what we expected, I mean with a name like that, you'd think it was some hardcore metal band or something. You wouldn't expect a punk band that consisted of a bunch of 50 year old guys (and two female singers). One of the guys had a really short shorts on, stockings, and lipstick. I know it sounds creepy, but if you saw it you would have laughed! It was an unexpectedly good show. You should look them up sometime!
Well, if I think of other stories I forgot to mention that are worth mentioning I'll blog them later, for now, this is it! Hope you enjoyed the stories......

Funnies

Anwar the Great kindly requested me to mention this to people of my acquintance. He has some pretty cool comics in there somewhere.

The Opera Internet browser is now free.

Opera, for those who don't know about it, is a very nice browser, and for years you had to pay to use it, or get the free version without the ad-banner. Well, no longer, sonny! Get the free version!

Opera is awesome. I should use it more often, but I keep forgetting to. Good reasons to use it:

• It's fast. Often able to render things quicker than IE or Firefox.
• It's more secure than IE (definately) or Firefox (I think...).
• Built in support for gmail.
• email and rss client.
  
• Probably other stuff.

What's that? You use linux? Well, the download is available for a suprising amount of distros, as well (mostly the good ones).

Let the good times roll. Advertisement over.

OK, some NY stories

As I have promised, here are some of my stories of New York.

We've all seen movies and know how big New York is supposed to be. Well, let me tell you those movies do not prepare you for the sheer size of the City. The enormous buildings really belittle you, makes you feel very insignificant. I was really amazed as I drove into the City.
Oh yeah, another thing, DON'T EVER DRIVE TO NEW YORK! Well, at least into New York. My God! Worst place EVER to drive. It really sucked. It takes at least 30 min of just driving around in circles just to find a parking space. And just about every street is a one way... Really sucks.
Anywho, back to the stories. I went to go visit my sister and her boyfriend, and they're both officers in the Navy, and haven't had a chance to really spend their money till now...so that means they are loaded. They are spending as much money as possible. I mean, every night we ate at the best restaurants we could find and so on and so on. My favorite was when we got the bill Dora puts a $100 bill in the bill folder thingy, and hands it to the waiter and says "we don't need any change." So I asked her how much the bill was, her reply: "I don't know..."
While we were eating pizza as a late night snack (Its NY, you have to have pizza), two homeless guys come up to us and says "Hi, um, well, basically, we're both homeless, and we were hoping to raise enough money so that we could buy ourselves some beer." My sister's reply: "Wow, I'm really impressed with your guy's honesty, I'll tell you what, tell me what beers you guys want and I'll buy it for you." And so my sister helps the homeless people with their alcoholism. She's a great sister.
While we were walking around, we saw a couple guys sniffing cocaine in a phone booth. I just thought that was something you usually don't see (unless you live in New York, obviously).
I'm sure there's more stories, but I can't think of them right now, and I already wrote more than I usually do, so I'll stop here. Once I remember more interesting stories, I'll blog them. This is it for now, hope you guys found this somewhat interesting............

A thing worth a bloging

So Iraqi has a nice start to their new constitution. What do you think? For the whole thing see Iraqi for the wiki

"We the sons of Mesopotamia, land of the prophets, resting place of the holy imams, the leaders of civilization and the creators of the alphabet, the cradle of arithmetic: on our land, the first law put in place by mankind was written; in our nation, the most noble era of justice in the politics of nations was laid down; on our soil, the followers of the prophet and the saints prayed, the philosophers and the scientists theorized and the writers and poets created"

Buzz Sutherland: One funny man.

So Buzz Sutherland came to Fort Hays State University, and entertained a nice portion of the FHSU student body. He had some hilarious stuff, and for the life of me I can't remember it. The things I do remember, however, are his expressions and actions, which are hard to put down on paper and maintain the comicness of it all. The other things that I do remember, are perhaps a little too off color for this blog. Especially his Donald Duck routine, which is among some of his more popular stuff. Buzz Sutherland is to Donald Duck as Jeff Foxworthy is to Redneck stuff.

I can tell you, however, that I was involved in the show. Because he didn't ask my name, nor particularly care, he simply refered to me as Tator-Tot after I came up on stage (well, not so much a stage as it is a step. This was in Chuck's Place in Wiest Hall), and the other... huge... guy was known as Mountain something or other. The name escapes me for the moment.

Needless to say, he taught us some very slick dance moves. Here's all you need to know:
Get a confused look on your face.
Act like you're riding a horse.
Wiggle your head in a circular fashion.
...And I think there's more. Long story short, though, I managed to make the women swoon. No, wait, it was laugh hysterically.

But he did keep me onstage for the special light-pens-up-the-nose performed to the song, Duelling Banjos. He even let me keep the light pens!

So, in summary, Buzz Sutherland is funny.

melt it off allergy

I was rummaging around my Gmail's spam box, checking to see if it had filtered some important non-spam into the box (it didn't), when an odd subject line caught my eye:

melt it off allergy

This isn't funny in-and-of itself, you need to hear it as my brain was reading it off to me:

Say it commandingly, matter-of-factly, and with energy, like an infomercial salesperson would say it, and as if the message was addressed to a man named Allergy: "Melt it off, Allergy!"

My interest piqued, I open the message:

want skinny? lymphoma

...What?! I pondered this for a moment.
Let me get this straight: Instead of selling me pills, their mode of weight loss is disease? They never even told me anything was for sale, so I thought it was just friendly advice.

Nope. It turns out the hyperlink that (was) contained in these next lines points me to the store:

A
whats new with you boyfriend

Of course! It was so obvious! What really hurts, though, is that the store wasn't peddling lymphoma, as the email led me to believe, but rather Meta Gen, a pill that has nothing to do with disease. Probably.

Finally, the email concludes with a rather deep philosophical message:

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be

Mmm... how true. It's as true today as when it was written.

By the way, I did look up lymphoma. I looked at a certain, non-cancerous* version known as Hodgkin's Disease, which can, in fact, have the symptom of weight loss, and can also include low-grade fever, night sweats, itchy skin, or fatigue. From what I'm reading, it's among the better of diseases to have, if one is in the need for shedding those extra pounds, without worring about proper diet or exercise. Hey, it even gives the user an excuse to not exercise; he's fatigued!

Update!
* Correction: I misread the line. It turns out that Hodgkin's Disease IS cancerous. Whoops. Totally wrong on my part. Taking this new fact into account, I've decided to retract my statement that you should get Hodgkin's Disease, for weight loss at least.

You guys are awesome

Hey, just wanted to say thanks to Shayne and Paul for letting me stay in your guys' room, and to everyone else for hanging out with me and having fun and stuff.

Oh, and Jessie, seems you have a fan in Newport News, VA.

Recovering from Vacation

We're back! And for those of you who didn't realize it, my family was on vacation last week. Vacation meaning: lots of driving through empty, desolate lands (Nebraska), talking to lots of old people I didn't know (Mom's relatives), eating LOTS of food (Grandma's cooking), a trip to the mountains, seeing even more relatives, and other random stuff I can't seem to remember right now. I think shopping was involved at one time as I seem to have procured two pairs of shoes and sundry other items. Ooops.
Well that's all, except for this one last thing: Dad was just looking in the phone book and discovered someone with the last name of Batman. How cool is that? Of course, in reality it would kind of suck. Ms. Jessie Batman. It just doesn't go (sigh).
Oh and I'm moving up on Thursday morning. I think.

My Tire Died

First my starter stops working in my truck (somewhat ironic), and now my tire broke, so now I have to get it replaced. Though I'm lucky none of this happened on my trip to Va. And we're moving to a new apartment friday and all too. Well, good thing it happened now I guess. I'm going to be so poor.

Do YOU believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

to reverse global warming, we need to recruit more pirates.

Greetings from Virginia

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for being there for me when I needed you guys. I'm doing great and enjoying Virginia. Hope you all are doing good as well.

By the way, just in case no ones heard, they found a new planet in our solar system, its bigger than Pluto, and has about the same surface. Its about 97 times farther than earth is from the sun.

Jessie is returning to campus. Eventually.

2 weeks until the dorms open! I bet you guys are counting down the days until I get back.... ;)

training and a zoo

well im leaving again for a few days ...im going to omaha nebraska for the next three dayz im also goign to get to go to the zoo while im there i plan on taking alot of photos .....

The group shot: From left to right: Shayne, Paul, Lester, Jon, Logan, and guitar.

It has been good

Today was one of those days we don't like to have often. It has been along time in the waiting for our good friend Lester to have moved on. I personally never thought this day would actually come to pass but in the back of my mind I knew it would. I know there were other doubters that thought he might not actually leave and in the end we were all surprized in the end. I knew Lester since he came here to Kansas pretty much from the beginning and went through a lot of good times with him and his crazy antics. There were times where he had pissed everyone off and times where he could bring everyone one together with his passion for anime. In short, I am going to miss him. We all know that eventually we will all have to move on and Lester has taken the first steps to doing so...
Best of Luck and Happy Travels,
Jon
