So there's this guy named Robert Hamburger and he wrote a book called The Official Ninja Book. It tells you how to become a ninja, the day to day life a ninja, and how to identify ninjas. This book is probably the most hilarious thing I've ever encountered. Enjoy some exerpts:
Did you know? Ninja means "crapping me pantalons" in Canadian.
600 A.D: For some old queen's birthday, sixty thousand ninjas wail on their guitars and kill a country.
Nothing can kill a ninja. So if two ninjas start fighting they'll probably malfunction and start beeping and smoking.
Q. What do ninja's do when they're not cutting off heads or flipping out?
A. Most of their free time is spent flying, but sometimes they stab. (Ask Mark if you don't beleive me)
Ninjas fight all the time. Ninja means "fight" in German and Mexican.
Doctors: Doctors are retarded. They don't do anything. Sometimes they cut people, which is cool, but they don't do it enough. And when they actually do kill somebody, everybody yells at them.
Did you know? In the past, ninjas would dip their hands and feet into pure lava to make them hard. They don't do that anymore, because where do you get lava?
When hanging out with their clan, ninjas generally don't toss around real metal ninja stars. 'Cause if one ninja does it, then everybody's going to do it, and then some lamp gets busted and everybody has to go home and then what?
How to commit Seppuku with a frisbee:
1. Get a frisbee from the store or a friend.
2. Clean the frisbee.
3. Make sure your parents aren't around.
4. Put something slippery on it, like butter or cream.
5. Get really, super pissed.
6. Fold the frisbee, hard (this is crucial).
7. Keep folded and insert frisbee into mouth, hard.
8. Push hard until you can't see it.
9. Wait.
10. Die.

Turkey Day
Thankgiving was sweet. I got to see my cousins and friends who came back from school. I didn't get to hang out with everyone that I wanted to but then again Christmas break is only a couple weeks away. I ran the race downtown on Thanksgiving morning. That course get tougher everytime I do it. Running over bridges sucks because you feel like they're miles long when they are only like a half mile. The race was cool though. There were thousands of people down there and it was freezing.
Went to Jony's last night. I don't drink so I was just kinda standin around watchin other people get trashed but Fikri and the Mercy girls were there who I haven't seen in forever. It was a good time.
How bout' them Bengals? 58-48 was the final score. Awesome game. Absolutely no defense from anybody. It's official Browns fans are jerks. They wouldn't shut up the entire time. Then they started throwing crap and pissing people off.
I'm not lookin forward to going to school this week. Its gonna suck. Finals comin up. I have to teach myself a whole bunch of calculus and I gotta decide if I'm gonna change my major to biology.

Master Chief
Halo 2 is nuts. The story is explained much better that the first. Apparently, the convenant have this huge hierarchy of leadership and its a theocracy. The new vehicles and weapons are sweet especially the rocket launcher warthog. One resounding dissappointment though, the flood make an appearance. I was not at all pleased with this. I thought Halo enthusiasts had made it perfectly clear they didn't want any more rediculously annoying undead guys walkin around in the sequal. But I can get past it.
In case anybody is unaware, Jenny and I are on a break. We haven't called anything off yet but we are spending some time apart to evaluate where we are at with things. This is pretty much the hardest thing I've ever done so there's a pretty crappy slant to this week. Above all, we both want to follow what God has planned for us and if that means we won't be together anymore, then we'll accept that. Right now, I guess we're both trying to figure out what God's will is in this situation.

Victory
What a night. I was up till about 2 in the morning watching the results come in. I'll tell you right now that I voted for Bush and am extremely happy with the re-election. I am dissappointed with one factor of the nationwide results. Statistics are showing that a record number of evangelicals showed up to vote. Whereas, in years past this population had often refused to participate in national elections. This is a great thing. Christians should have an active say in the goings on of their government. They are part of this country to, its imperative to be responsible members of society in my opinion.
The part I'm dissappointed with is with this trend came an overwellming movement to ban gay marriage. I can't say what other states ballots said or what their new legislation prohibits but in Ohio we already have a piece of legislation in place that protects marriage as that of a man and a woman. Issue 1 blazed new ground. Now, civil unions would not be created or recognized.
So here it is, is it my duty as a follower of Christ to trounce on anything that says homosexual?
I voted for Bush because I believe what he has been doing for the last four years is what we should be doing. Its unfair to blame the economy, which is not as bad as anybody says, on one man and it's getting better. The war in Iraq was and is the right thing to do. I know thats a crazy concept nowadays to do something just because its right.
On that note, I voted down issue 1. I'm not out to persecute gays. I'm out to convey God's love to them. No, I'm not for gay marriage. But I guess I am ok with civil unions because I'm not going to force my beliefs or descriminate against anybody. All I ask is that the official term of "marriage" be granted only to a man and a woman as it always has been.
It's been a real struggle on how to vote "christ-like." One thing I'm sure of though is that God does not condemn my passion for political issues because he put it there and because of that passion I have opinions. I don't expect all Christians to have the same opinion and I refuse to criticize a Christian who votes democratic. I'm sure God likes the fact that I have opinions of my own because I'm acting out who he made me to be.

Forgot I had a blog
So...fantasy football eh.
Dante Culpepper is the man. 5 td's and almost 400 yards. sweet.
The Creepy Campout is gonna be off the hook. I got horgan to go. She's never been camping before. So somebody needs to tell her that she's gonna get eaten by a bear or something, she'd totally buy it. Most sheltered girl ever. But its gonna be awesome. I got my own site so everyone's welcome to show up. Just cmon up whenever. Dress up like a pirate if you feel like it.
Classes suck. I don't have any that I can skip without immidiate consequences except maybe American Politics, the most pointless class ever. Calculus isn't turning out to be that hard. The prof sucks at everything but I've been able to keep up by teaching myself and doing small amounts of homework. I have a test tomorrow so we'll see.

Back to school
First day of school. Wasn't that bad. Calculus might be hard but I'm not that worried about it. My American Politics class is huge. Its gonna be great because I have a feeling that there's gonna plenty of arguing about the presidential race.
CBS...haha. Take that Dan Rather. CBS is re-nigging on its stance to support its stupid memos from the national guard. This is the part of politics that I hate. Everybody starts makin' up stuff and lying about where they got it and who said what. Its rediculous.
Dante Culpepper is the man. My fantasy team is doin pretty good but there's some changes I'd still like to make. I' m gonna need some more depth in my line up.
Giant asteroids on a collision course with earth are cool.

We got any rednecks out there?
The Lynyrd Skynyrd concert at Riverbend was amazing. Hank Williams was pretty good but I'm not a huge country fan. Gary Rossington was awesome. I almost cried when they played Freebird. I was skepticle about the concert at first because there's only two original members of the band but they proved to be much better than anybody gives them credit for.
The best thing about the concert was the people on the lawn. There's nothin better than a thousand 50 year old rednecks getting too drunk to stand up straight. It was hilarious until everybody started breaking out the pot. By the end of the concert there was a haze floating over the lawn. I was seriously buzzed.
My new tires are on the truck. They're pretty sweet. I got them muddy at Spence's last night, fishtailing in front of her house. As soon as I got back on the pavement they threw the mud which is what they are supposed to do. However, when they throw mud they throw it onto the truck which I just washed. So my truck is a mess again but I don't care because it was worth it.

They come to snuff the rooster...
Somebody found a way to kill him. Nathan Scott Phillips, murdered in the strees of Delhi Park. Our rooster from Clearview Tavern was brutally killed by some careless driver entering the park...or so it would seem. I suspect foul play is involved here. It's a well know fact that Nathan Scott Phillips doesn't hang out in front of traffic like the ducks. In fact, he usually leaves the street when a car turns into the driveway. This mean that jerk came tearing through the park on Friday and probably chased the unsuspecting rooster to his death. None of this matters now though. Nathan Scott Phillips is gone.
If I leave here tomorrow, would you still remember me? Because I'm as free as a bird now...and this bird you cannot change! Won't you fly high freebird!
Davie and I went to a bunch of bars on Friday to pick up kegs for the skirt game. In every bar we went to we got a comment on how we wouldn't be able to carry it out....and we always got it out and to my truck. We also got some looks from people who saw two underage kids loading 6 kegs into the back of a pickup truck.
This is awesome. Pff...three purple hearts.

'cause I'm already standing on the ground
The Village was sweet. Critics are so dumb. I guess if a movie doesn't have tons of special effects and blood everywhere its no good. Whatever.
I was lookin' at the Enquirer today and it was loaded with Kerry articles. They tried not to sound partial but the fact that there were like a dozen articles dedicated to John Kerry's various policies and the campaign trail and not one about Bush unless the article was about how Kerry disagrees with Bush says a lot about where the paper stands. There was also this thing in there about swing voters. They interviewed a handful of people who were not strict conservative or liberal voters. They all voted for Bush in 2000 but they were now all voting for Kerry. One of them said she was gonna vote for Kerry because Bush's stance on terrorism is too weak! Apparently, fighting a war, unseating two terrorist supporting regimes, creating an entire cabinet level department dedicated to fighting terror, crushing the world's largest terrorist network and freeing millions of oppressed people is too weak of stance on terror. I won't even mention the lack of a follow up attack on our soil since 9/11. It almost seems like its working but that can't be because Bush's policies are weak. What we need to do is elect Kerry so he can pull thousands of troops out of Iraq so it can become a terrorist breeding ground. People are dumb.
Do you know how much tires cost? A lot. I have to buy some before winter comes along though and I'd like to get it taken care of before school starts up again. The frustrating thing is that I have three terrible tires and one perfect one that I just shelled out $140 for. Plus I drive a truck, a 4wd druck, with huge tires. I need off-road capable tires because I tend to get in some mud once in awhile. My redneck instincts tell me to get huge mud tires but those are even more expensive. Oh well, im getting huge mud tires.

There are stars in the Southern Sky...Southward as you go.
Horgan is gone. Apparently the family she's staying with is starving her to death and they are constantly pawning their kids off on her. She's also sunburned because her skin lacks pigment that most humans have.
I went to that class I'm taking at the Vineyard last night. Its pretty good. Its done by the same people who do Alpha so I'm thinking about doing that. Jenny has already done it and she liked it a lot.
How bout those reds? I just watched them give up 9 points in a half hour. Nothing like sittin at work watching the Reds blow their season.
The Village comes out next Friday. It should be pretty sweet. M. Night Shymla...Shamala....Shlala...........M. Night S. is a genius. Signs was a great movie and the Village looks like its going to be similar.
Welcome back to big Kenan Fikri (even though he's voting for meltface Kerry).

Wayward Son
Went and saw anchorman last night. Hilarious. Zoolander is better but Will Ferell is pretty great. Jack Black and Ben Stiller made appearances that were freakin hilarious. I also ate at Benihana's with Jenny. I'm not a big fan of foreign food but it wasn't bad. However, it was rediculously expensive and between dinner, movie, flowers, and gas I dropped 90 bucks last night (doh). It was worth it though because yesterday marked our 2 year anniversary. I can't believe its been 2 years. Awesome.
Who wants to burn me a Kansas cd?
So the Senate intel report came out yesterday. It didn't look good. Apparently, the CIA and other intelligence groups were supplying Congress and the Administration with unreliable evidence about wmd and al-qaeda ties.
Stuff the media's not gonna tell you:
1. The report does not say the intel reports were false.
2. The president does not gather the intel himself, he has to act on what's given to him.
3. Saddam Hussein may or may not have been funding terrorists but he was definetely harboring them (undisputed fact).
4. Allegations of insufficient evidence concerning the existence of wmd in Iraq are good only for the time period post 1995. In 1995 the US intelligence community knew for certain that Saddam Hussein had chemical and bio. weapons and a nuclear program.
5. After 1998 it was impossible for inspectors and CIA operatives to infiltrate Iraq's weapons program because Clinton launched operation Desert Fox, a unilateral military offensive which accomplished nothing save kicking UN weapons inspectors out of Iraq. (good call Bill).

Nothin' on Top but a Bucket and a Mop and an Illustrated Book About Birds
First post in awhile. Vacation was sweet. My birthday was the 25th so I was still down there but my extended family felt pressured to at least give me some money so that they weren't the only people who didn't get me anything when it came time to open gifts. So I got a bunch of money, Nirvana Unplugged, A CD binder, Best Buy gift card, and some fog lights for my truck.
Spiderman 2 was sweet. Way better than the first. It also had some hilarious comic relief. Plus I got to go see it with Jenny which makes the experience that much better (points). They had some insane special effects. The story line was kinda far fetched but it is coming from a comic book so I'll buy it.
I really want to see both Farenheit 9/11 and Saved. I refuse to pay for Farenheit 9/11 because I won't fuel Micheal Moore's propaganda machine. Dave was saying the we could pay for a different movie and then sneak into Farenheit. I have to see it so I can tear it to pieces and spit on the remains. Its really hard for me to understand how anyone can decide how they are going to vote based upon the opinion of an obvioulsy one-sided movie the came out of Hollywood. Talk about ignorance.
I want to see Saved because it presents an issue that I'm pretty passionate about, Religion. Cory Lester put it best at Young Life camp when he said that Religion and following Jesus almost seem like opposites. According to Justin, this movie satires the religious side of Christianity which is all the world sees. The only thing that I probably won't like about the movie is the non-distinction between those following Jesus and religious characters.
Even if the contrasting sects of Christianity are both given attention in the movie I highly doubt anyone (who is not a Christian) is going to be able to see a diffence between the two or be able to apply Biblical principles on which side is more righteous.
Furthermore, its dangerous to agree with the movie's satire of the church sub-culture because it stereotypes many Christians who agree with a highely traditional church doctrine. Having attented a strict traditinal church for many years I know both the dangers of church rooted in tradition. However, there were leaders from this church that loved the lord and honored the church's rules. It is possible to do both. My family left this church because it had become a hotel for saints rather than a hospital for sinners. The point is, religion is the work of Satan, there's no denying that, but so is condeming those who live out their faith in a traditional manner. Jesus hated the laws and rules of the pharisees but he knew that there were men among them that only desired to serve the lord.

Flip Flop Kerry Strikes Again
John Kerry: never tells the same story twice.
Went to work today for nine hours. I don't really care though because today we dug a hole and then called it a day. We took a 1.5 hour break (a half hour of which is paid) for lunch and quit working all together at about two. Then we went up to the lodge and drank water and sat around till 4.
I ordered my tire. Its gonna cost me a nice $139. I had a close call today when I found a drill bit in another tire. Luckily, it had only dug into the tread and did not puncture the tire. The good thing is that the tire with the nail in it is out of my bed.
Along with replacing my tire, I'm also gonna have to change my oil this weekend which means I'm gonna have to fork out some more money for oil and a filter. Its a good thing that I do it myself and don't hire somebody to do something so easy...Jenny Horgan. It also need to be washed since I haven't touched it since I used it to push the work truck out of the mud.
Last exam tomorrow. No more school. Vacation in 11 days.

Pres. Ronald Reagan has died at the age of 93. This country has indeed lost a great man today. Reagan was one of the best leaders that this country has ever known. He was part of a dying breed that enters politics not for money or social gain but to make a difference. He took on the job of president, stuck to his principles and did the best he could. Most of us cannot even come close to appreciating what he did for this country.

Samsonite...we were way off
Horgan and I went swimming yesterday at her pool. It was freezing but her pool and hot tub are sweet.
I got a nail in my tire so I'm gonna have to replace it for the small price of $130. I can't just get it patched because the nail is in the side wall and its against regulations to patch the side wall of a tire. So I'm gonna have to wait till I have the funds to purchase one. It doesn't help that my tires are Goodyear Wrangler all-terrain tires. Apparently huge tires with aggressive tread cost more to make or something.
Speaking of off road tires. My dad was talking about some place in Indiana where you can pay 7 bucks to do whatever you want on this guy's land. Apparenty, there's offroad trail all over the place that are pretty challenging. So I might try to get out there some weekend and try to trash my truck.
We have a soccer game on Sunday at 3. Which is good cuz I have to work until 10. That'll give me time to sleep.
School's almost done. I have two more regular classes to go to and then two exams next week. After that I'll be workin like crazy to be able to afford my truck that I'm determined to break and school next year. Plus if I find a place to live, other than where I'm at now, I'll need money for that. I have to start full time work soon because I'm leaving for South Carolina on the 19th and I'm gonna need money for my insurance this month. I'm screwed. Maybe my tax refund will come because it is my money and the government just seems to be holding on to it for awhile. So if they could go ahead and give me my money back...that'd be great.

Cicadas are everywhere. We killed a whole bunch more of them yesterday after guy's group at Robby's house. They seriously have to be the stupidest creatures on the planet. It's no wonder there has to be a couple billion of them. If there wasn't there's no way the species would survive.
The UC guy still hasn't responded to my e-mail. If he thinks hes just gonna ignore me into submission, he's in for a surprise. I think I pay enough money to deserve his attention.
This week kinda sucks. I guess its cuz I'm struggling with some stuff. I've tried praying about it but there hasn't been too much of a response. There's some things that I need to figure out and I keep asking for God's guidance on but I can't seem to get any response. It just seems like I'm having a lot of trouble experiencing God lately and I'm not feeling a connection.

Summer is almost here. This weekend was great. I had barely any homework except for a stupid speech thing that involves defending Pres. Bush so I don't really mind doing it.
I didn't play soccer today because I was too tired and Horgan wanted to go to church and I've been missing a lot lately so I thought I'd better go.
Tomorrow is official cicada bashing day. We're gonna go to Davie's and raise some hell. I was thinking about the whole cicada bashing thing. We're probably gonna kill a couple hundred of them, plus the ones that you run over, get eatin, run into stuff and die, get stepped on, and get plowed over by development. I think this is the american buffalo all over again. We're all assuming that there's a million of these things and that the species won't even feel our onslaught. However, thats the same thing that pioneers said about the buffalo and look what happened. Pretty soon the only place ur gonna be able to see cicadas is on a ranch in the Red River Gorge. Yeah what then? I'm still gonna kill a whole freakin bunch of em tomorrow.

Missed my first class today cuz I was up all night doing homework and I had to print it all out this morning. I also have a quiz in speech that I haven't studied for yet. I'm so tired that I don't think I'm gonna make it through the rest of my classes.
Props to Happy Time Horgan on her scholarship. I wish I got money for my terrible grades.
So the liberals are really pissing me off now. The flyers on the the information kiosk in front of Langsam are pretty much just hate propaganda. I was thinking about those and I realized that they are slamming all conservatives with their "this is a compassionate conservative" slogan. What if I put a sign that says "this is a compassionate Jew"? How would those be different. I'm half tempted to email UC and complain and threaten to sue. But I know that most people are smart enough not to believe their crap.

Oh yeah. bow bow. chic. chic. chic ahhh.
So hear's the new blog. I'm still trying to put up links but the comments are in order. I think we're going to see Troy tonight. It should be pretty sweet. It looks good. Horgan's all lookin forward to it because of Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. So I might as well not go.
Soccer tomorrow except I don't know if I'm gonna play because work screwed me out of hours this morning. I like this job but I might starve to death if summer doesn't get here soon. They don't have a lot of hours available in the evening and on weekends. It's pretty much a 7-4 job. They never work at night and only a couple of hours on the weekends to pick up the park and line a couple of fields.
You know what's an awesome song? Nemesis by Shriekback. It was really big in the '80s. Me and Lubbs downloaded it last night. The lyrics are hilarious.

Battlefield Vietnam is the bane of my existence. I can't get it to work. I think it might be a little too demanding for my pc. So I'm gonna go argue with Target to take it back.
We played soccer on Sunday and got pwned. We played down two people because nobody showed up on account of the short notice. We're actually pretty good. We kept up even though we were down some players. We still got destroyed though cuz the half backs couldn't get back in time to help out on defense. There better be more people there this Sunday. We better get rid of the cotton, black shirts too.
Work is sweet. I just ride around in machinery thats not mine all day. I get a good tan and I don't deal with customers. In fact, my boss said to avoid people at all costs because they'll just ask you to clean up something or do something to a field. So I was fine with that.
I'm gonna get a paintball game together for sometime really soon. I don't know which day yet but there will be a game. Maybe the weekend after next.
Troy came out today!

New job. Man, why did I work in retail for all these years. I could of made way more money doing way less work. Government jobs are the answer. Seriously, in two days and about 11 hours of paid time I've probably done a total of 2 hours of actual work. The other time was spent riding around on the tractor, taking hour long paid breaks, making sure the middle school kids didn't pry up fence posts, and just sitting around. This is the best job ever.
We walked past a big scientology tent today outside of McMicken. I wanted to go and talk to them but I needed to go to class. I wanted to ask them if any of them actually knew what they believed or if they were just mindless drones who will believe anything anybody tells them. What a cult. Where's jigga when you need him?
I think I might pick up battlefield Vietman or UT 2004. I don't know which one but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get one of them. Time to up my rating on Yahoo Euchre.

I have to think of a word for effective public speaking that I can write an entire speech on. Rob already called "Christianity" so I can't do that. I was thinking of maybe doing "conservatism" or "socialism" or "liberalism". I could say a lot about those but the instructor wants this speech to be serious and not a joke like we made the last one. Even though the class is a joke. So if anyone comes up with a good word, go ahead and leave it in the comment box.
I got my truck stuck yesterday by the Great Miami River. I was seriously getting worried about not getting it out. My dad and I were fishing and we went down to a spot that apparently had just recently been under water. We decided not to fish there but I couldn't stop myself from trying to destroy my truck. I dropped it into a small "lake" that was probably about 3 feet deep. The four wheel was in so it wasn't a problem but then it dropped again suddenly and both of the front tires were covered and one of the rear tires was caught in a rut. I panicked, put it into first, and floored it. Needless to say I threw mud all over my truck and didn't move at all. I stopped to think for a second, then I put it into reverse and luckily one of the back tires was still on decent ground and the posi-track was able to pull me out. My truck looks awesome now.
Kenan emailed me back and told me how much Europe loves Kerry. Apparently, there is no such thing as "conservatives" over there and he is enjoying not having to argue with anyone like us. He also said that he can vote on an absentee ballot.
If you see Horgan tell her to quit her job.

So I'm at school and Davie and I are not not skipping class. I've decided to go ahead and update my blog. Me and Dave were just discussing the most overated movies of all time. This is subject to change because I'm just pulling these out off top of my head. Feel free to comment and suggest replacements, additions, or movement within the ranks.
1. Titanic- There's no reason this made as much money as it did.
2. Pearl Harbor- Tons of potential, zero quality
3. It's A Wonderful Life- Makes me wanna gouge my eyes out with a blunt object
4. Apocalypse Now- Another movie with enough budget to be awesome but screwed up with a terrible storyline
5. Full Metal Jacket- What was this?
6. Grease- I hate Jon Travolta
7. The Harry Potter series- ok movie, but way overrated
8. The Adam Sandler Movies except Happy Gilmore- talk about a an actor playing the same part over and over again
9. All of the Austin Powers movies- dumb
10. Jurassic Park II and III- the first one was sweet, shoulda stopped there/ they're about to make another one about how the government uses the dinosaurs as secret weapons
11. Gone With the Wind- Wow. How this movie got so huge I'll never know.

U Conn has beaten Duke and Dougie is victorious. Unfortunately, I owe Austin 50 dollars from spring break so I'll never get to hold the money in my hands.
School is way better this quarter. It's so easy that I'm feeling guilty for the classes I'm taking. So I dropped one of the moron classes I'm in for a more difficult political science class. So I'll have it tomorrow for the first time. Hopefully the professor hasn't gotten far into the class yet. If he's a jerk I'll just pick up the class I was in before.
I got the job with Delhi Township. It pays $8.55 an hour and I was garunteed 40 hours a week. Plus its 7am to 4 pm everyday Mon-Fri. So I won't have to worry about my schedule changing. Also, its an outdoor job and everyone knows that maitenance people stand around do nothing most of the time so I should fit in pretty good. I can't wait to tell the people at Dick's that I'm not working this summer. To bad I can't screw them over or anything because I'll probably come back during the school year if I'm still at UC.
10 years since the world was robbed of Kurt Cobain's music. I had the pleasure of watching Unplugged today. Cobain was truly a genius. The world will never again know a musician of his calibur. (Especially with the direction music is headed today).
I'm not like them
But I can pretend
The sun is gone
But I have a light
The day is done
But I'm having fun
I think I'm dumb
Or maybe just happy

Time for spring break. Jon has backed out on us at the last minute but we we're only using him for his mustang so its no big deal. We'll just burn down his house later as retribution. Anyway, my pole officially offed itself today. UC, Stanford, UK...all gone. But the memory remains......
So I'm goin down to Kentucky for a few days to do some camping and eating. Horgan's in Georgia so I won't get to see her for like a month until I get back. That sucks.
UC's decal purchase thing is closed so I'm gonna have to go up there to buy one. I hate Clifton. I especially hate Clifton when I don't have to be there.
I just Tivo'd an episode of Aque Teen so im bought to go watch that up.
Later world, I'll see you Thursday.

So, I have a chemistry final on Monday that will decide if I fail chemistry this quarter. How bout UC? beatin DePaul today and selection Sunday tomorrow. I played soccer today for like three hours and now my knees hurt.
I wonder what would happen if I just didn't write this English paper. I probably won't fail the class cuz I've done pretty well on everything else up to this point.
Shotguns only in Sidewinder sucks. You watch people walk across the level on the ground but you can't do anything about it cuz you don't have a freakin sniper rifle or pistol to shoot them with. So you take a half hour walk across the level cuz all the vehicles have been deposited in the middle and get killed by a camper, hiding on the other side of the tank.
I'm hangin out with horgan tonight. We might go up to Bass Pro Shops to get some fishing stuff.
No more flaming liberal env. science teachers!
Hey backwoods retard............not now, not ever.

So, I saw the Passion on Wednesday. It was pretty awesome. I've heard the story before so I knew what to expect but it was crazy to see people in the theatre, who I knew probably had never heard anything about what Jesus went through so that we would not have to pay for our own sins, react to the movie. Then I thought about all those writers out there who immidiately went about trashing the movie. I thought that this makes sense. The world will do anything to make Jesus's life seem inconsequential.
So thanks to Austin Lubbers who left me and Dave out in the cold to die Friday night.
I just voted for Goldeneye, which is winning, to get the extra life. It got screwed in the first round by going up against halo.
I need to go buy Nirvana Unplugged and I'm not doing homework tonight.

So I changed my format so Dave wouldn't bitch at me anymore. In doing so I found out that you have to re-enter your links and comment coding. Done and done. I haven't seen my schedule yet for next quarter but it'll probably suck. At least I don't have chemistry anymore. Speaking of chemistry its starting right............now. Guess where I'm not. I'm gonna leave here shortly though to make enviro. science and learn how the Bush administration is suppressing scientific research and killing the environment. Who puts the anti-war rhetoric at the bottom of my comment page?
The best game ever is Super Mario Bros. 3 for Nintendo. Halo, Goldeneye, Fusion Frenzy, Mario Kart, TMNT: Manhattan Project are my finalists but they can't beat the level of SMB 3 where Mario can obtain the frog suit. This level, I forget its numerical value, made my decision. The problem is that you can't get to it via whistle.
Did you guys know that in the last level when you have to beat one of the floating ships, water not air, you can sink just far enough to swim under the entire ship and jump out just in time to climb onto the back of the ship.
Welp time for school.
