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.

Sweet. Blog. How bout 11 oscars for LOTR. Who likes anti-war rhetoric? I know I'm a fan.
