The name of this feudal system is democracy

The name of this feudal system is democracy…

Well, last Tuesday, Americans went to the polls to decide on who would get to control Castle Congress. On one hand, there was the Republicans, who wish for a nation of wealthy, heavily armed white men, befouling the air and water in a ceaseless quest for profits, beheld in no laws but those in our lord and savior Jesus Christ. On the other was the Democrats, who desire a nambi, pambi, quasi socialist republic with an all homosexual army, flambouantly defending it’s citizens who suck at the breast of government welfare.

But as we all know, the Republicans won control of Congress. And as somebody who believes a steady flow of rage is healthy, I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!

Yet, many Americans got to vote on local referendums. And who doesn’t love a good referendum? Like take for instance Oaklahoma, who got to vote on whether or not to outlaw cockfighting. That’s right COCKFIGHTING And this was Tuesday of THIS YEAR!….2002!………..

But at least they set the stage for next year’s elections, where they will vote to outlaw indentured servitude, molasses smuggling, and the stockades………

Random shit

School…..um….sucks….

Well, upon getting back home and going to two days of classes, I have begun to realize how much shit my teachers are starting to pile up on us since the semester is coming to an end. I also have begun to realize that I am slowly slipping behind in all my classes, so the past few days have been full of me….um….well being lazy as shit. Heh heh heh. But this weekend / upcoming week I’ll be working on most of my schoolwork, which sucks.

I just realized that my harddrive is too small. I only have 20GB and once I start recording movies and Simpsons episodes, that fills up pretty quickly. Oh well. After another year or so I should be able to upgrade it to something bigger and the next time I build my computer, I’ll be sure to get a much bigger drive.

So, does anybody know of a good job that I can do from my computer? I really want to work from my computer, like tech support or something. I have applied to a few places and hopefully I might get something. Even a job close by where I am working on computers would be nice. After years of working with the public and then a summer of working in a factory, I want to just be able to type away on a computer and make my money. If I can’t find something like that, I will probably work as a waiter over the upcoming summer. Or maybe something in sales. I used to work at a used video game store before management switched and I kicked some ass in selling shit. My commissions check was double my basic payroll check every week. Damn that job kicked ass!

Weekend in Charleston

November 5th, 2002 at 12:00 am

Good ol’ Charleston

FINALLY! I’ve been trying to post for like the last 48 hours but I couldn’t remember my password for the life of me. I’ll explain that later on. The past 4 days have had “Kick ass” written all over them and 99% of that is because of Jessica. She drove up to Columbia last Friday afternoon so we could spend some time together since we only get to see each other every other week at best. We basically just hung out and did a whole lot of nothing, which was perfect =) By Saturday night though she had to get back to school since she had so much work to do. Just as she was leaving we had a conversation that follows:

Jessica: “It would be awesome if you could come back to Charleston with me for a few days!”
Me: “Yeah, I know, but I have classes and stuff…”
Jessica: “But you have Tuesday off and Monday you only have your crap classes where they don’t take roll and you have A’s. But I know you have other things to do…like?”
Me: “Um….now that you put it that way….I have….not a fucking thing to do….”
Jess: “…”
Me: “You are a genious!”

So, I packed a bag and we came on down to Charleston! I basically just played with her puppy / slept all day while she went to classes and meetings and then at night we got to spend some time together. We made actual dinners the past few nights, which is such a step up from my normal Chef Boyarde every night. And sleeping beside her every night in that bed, which is easily the most comfortable thing I have ever laid in. That’s what I enjoyed most though. Being able to sleep next to her! The land around here is really flat too, so my running kicked some serious ass. I pulled off a 6 mile run in about 48 minutes, which is running a flat 8 minute mile pace. Now when I was in my top shape, I was running a mile in 5:30, but you have to consider that I’ve only been running for a month AND that was an 8 minute mile pace for over the entire 6 miles. Back a few years ago, I was running 3 miles in just over 20 minutes, giving me a little over a 7 minute mile pace. And now I’m already running as fast as that on flat surface. Needless to say, I was pretty fucking psyched when I figured that all out.

But just being able to spend my days around Jessica is amazing. It just feels right being with her and spending time with her. I’ll be living down here with her for a few weeks over X-mas break and then again for a few months in the summer, which I honestly can’t look any more forward too! And she is working on a site of her own, which I will host for her, so be looking for that in the upcoming weeks =)

I know I said I was going to have all those links set up by this weekend, but everything I said it going to be pushed back a week. I wasn’t planning on coming down here or having my English work sneaking up on me as it did, but honestly, you all can wait! I’m heading back to Columbia tomorrow night and I’ve got some school work to take care of until Thursday, so mostly all the site updating will begin Thursday night.

Testing, 1, 2, CSS?

October 31st, 2002 at 12:01 am

Well, I got the CSS set up to what I want…I think….I know I’ll end up changing it within a week, but oh well. I started working on my Contact and Funny sections. They are still pretty much in the infancy stages, but they are coming along and should have them finished by tonight. Next will be the Bio and Site Information and by the end of this weekend, I should have the Beliefs section up. Fun stuff!

Don’t adjust your screens.

October 31st, 2002 at 12:00 am

Don’t adjust your computer screen

If you see things changing while you are here at the site or if it looks like total shit, it’s probably me sitting here trying to fool around with things and giving them a test =) Hang with me here.

Awesome weekend =)

What a weekend…

I don’t think words can describe the weekend I just had. Really. It was easily one of the best weekends my memory can come up with. Jessica (my girlfriend of the past 2 1/2 years) had been taking a break for a month or so. We thought it would be a good idea to spend some time together this weekend, so she picked me up on her way home and let me tell you it was AMAZING! It felt just so perfect to be with her and do things with her again. It just really feels wonderful to be loved so much by somebody…

The World Series ended last night with a game 7 victory by the Anaheim Angels. Yeah, who the hell picked them to win it all? I saw them being a team that would finish 2nd for the Wild Card this year, but I never thought they would win it all. But needless to say, they damn well earned it. I’ve never seen a team stay as hot as they did for a whole month and that includes the 20 game win streak Athletics from this year. Anaheim beat the “dynasty” of our generation, then a team that was a complete duplicate of themselves, and then a team with the most underrated pitching staffs in the game. Who more could they have beaten to prove themselves? They truely were a fun team to watch. They had some amazing years by their rookies though, so in all honesty, I doubt they will be able to repeat their success again next year if history tells us anything. All you have to do is take a look at my Mariners. The 2001 Mariners had a team full of players having career years and then 2002 they have a damn solid team that wins 93 games, but missed the playoffs. 93 games gets you in the playoffs any other year but 2002. What a funny game baseball is….

Let me give a little word of advice to anybody out there that is thinking of starting their own web-site. The weeks before and of mid-terms are not the best time to open it up. The last 3 weeks have been a major Bitch for me, so as you can see, not a damn thing has changed on this site. But FINALLY, I’ve been able to get through it all and I have plenty of free time on my hand for another few weeks until finals, and then I’m free for a few months! =) I’m gonna be updating this site muchisimo this week, so be sure to check it out. Aight, it’s time for an hour or so of video games and then bed.

Beer Inning

October 24th, 2002 at 12:00 am

Rule #12. Teeth are good for one thing. Chewing food and only food.

A woman was recently arrested for biting her husband over 20 times since he wouldn’t have sex with her, which resulted in his death. Gee, I wonder why he refused! Aside from the fact that he was practically already on life support and only a good scare away from Death himself, it’s pretty clear why he refused. We can only imagine what else she gnawed on during sex. Teeth + sex = no more sex.

Well, today I got not a damn thing done. Ah wait wait, I take that back. I downloaded a CLASSIC episode of The Simpsons. It’s the one where Mr. Burns hires all the Major League Baseball players for his softball team.

Ref: “Let’s go over the ground rules. You can’t leave first until you chug a beer. Any man scoring has to chug a beer. You have to chug a beer at the top of every odd numbered innings. Oh and 4th inning is the beer inning.”
Chief Wiggum: “HEY! We know how to play softball!”

HAHAHAHAHAHA Oh….Simpsons…..easily the best show of our generation. Well I am off to bed. It’s only 4 AM, so I’m actually getting to bed a little early tonight. I’m gonna be busy all day tomorrow studying for my last exam and then Friday I’m going home to spend some time with Jess =) But I’ll be sure to post some time over the weekend. And hopefully by next weekend I’ll have those links over there working. I will leave you all with yet another great Simpsons quote.

Bart: “Wow. How many homeruns are you gonna hit?”
Homer: “Let’s see. We play 30 games. 10 at bats a game…..3,000!”

Hell week is almost over

October 22nd, 2002 at 12:00 am

Damn I feel good right now. When I walked out of my class at 4:45 today, I looked around and realized that I only had one damn exam left this week and that one isn’t until Friday, so I won’t start working on that until tomorrow. So tonight, I get to sit back and finally relax and DAMN that felt good. I might even have some time tonight to actually update some of those links over there =) I went food shopping today too, so I finally have some fucking food. I am at the moment eating chips & salsa, a bowl of cereal, and an apple…I always buy food and then eat it real quick. Oh well. I might as well enjoy it while I have it! Well I am off to watch the World Series and do a shit load of nothing…I’ve earned it.

Fall Break is over.

October 17th, 2002 at 12:00 am

Well, Fall Break has come and gone and now Hell Week has officially begun. Starting tomorrow, I have 5 exams, 2 essays, and 2 projects due within the next week. Sounds like fun, eh?! I was in the library for a good 4 hours today just typing up one of the essays due tomorrow. You can always tell when mid terms and exams are because the library i spacked with people trying to study / cram. School sucks =)

My Fall Break was pretty good overall. We played football again on Monday and had about a 7 on 7 game, which was pretty good. I didn’t do nearly enough of my homework, but I got to spend some good ole’ quality time with the younger siblings which is always fun. We go the old SNES working and we found some old sports games from the early 90’s….wow, I can’t believe how far video games have come since then. We’ve gone from football games where there was only 10 plays you could call to games where you can pick the nose hair from your coach if you want to. Oh well, it was a fun few days to relax before all this damn work.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!

October 12th, 2002 at 12:00 am

Haha, an old friend of mine used to scream that every time we played football using his “announcer” voice. Good times. I’m home for Fall Break now and it’s pretty nice to be here. I get to see the whole family and that’s always nice. We had a “huge” football game planned for today but when we got out there, everybody but 6 of us had pussed out and didn’t show. Hell, we didn’t need them. It was easily the best 3 on 3 game I’ve ever played and this was with 2 of the people being my little brothers. Actually, Tommy held his own since he is already 215 pounds and 6 feet, 3 inches tall….did I mention HE IS IN THE 8TH GRADE!!!! Yeah, I call him an orge. I am fucking dreading the day that he can kick my ass because I know it is coming soon. Clay (my other bro) came out with us and while he may be small, he was the perfect weapon =) Nobody saw him coming.

I should be doing my homework now. In the span of 8 days, I have 5 mid-terms, 2 essays, and a group project due and let’s all guess how much I have done….that’s right junior, not a damn thing. I have however mastered the art of stuffing 25 grapes in my mouth…ahh, if only I could get graded on the useless things that I know how to do. I’m still holding strong though. I swear, they will one day save my life. You heard it here first folks.

Well, this Philosophy paper is screaming my name. Actually, it’s screaming at me since the only thing I have ON IT is my name. Say a prayer for me folks, I’m gonna need it…
