3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 02,July,2004 | Hey, if you use Microsoft Internet Explorer, don't be a dope, urlLink update it . And install urlLink Spybot Search & Destroy , urlLink Spysweeper , AND urlLink HiJackThis . Then run each of them. If you want to try out other browsers, which I suggest, then I suggest urlLink Firefox or urlLink Opera . Both have their urlLink plusses and minuses but both work well once you get used to them. Currently, I am trying to get used to Firefox and how it ain't so Google friendly (takes an extra click to access some of my favorite features like Blog This!, News, Images, Search This Site, etc. (Well, that's what I call the features. Google prolly has other, longer names.) Opera is fast but too many sites are 'slightly' incompatible with it. And for quasi-neatniks, it can drive them batty. If you don't have anti-virus protection, get urlLink some . And if you get a buttload of spam, it is your own damn fault. You're too liberal. With where you poke your head. Porn and shopping and sites will be the death of your PC and/or your time. If you are looking for a new media player, then I suggest urlLink Media Center . urlLink iTunes (nearing 100M songs sold, BTW) is for kids. At least on Windows. It has too few features to be worth using. RealPlayer is for databases that need rebuilding and people who restart their PC several times a day. No link provided. If you are that stupid, urlLink here . urlLink Windows Media Player is anti-mp3. urlLink WinAmp is for skin dweebs. urlLink MusicMatch is a better RealPlayer. File this under: it's 1:27 AM and I've not posted squat here. Plus, I see Howard has simplified the look and wanted to let him know: Good job! P.S. urlLink Molly got WordPress! , which is where my 'poisonal' blog is going once I crawl out from under CSS and XHTML and urlLink design guru wars . Note to self: if I'd manage my time better, I'd... No, if I focused more, my time would not cover more yet not as much. urlLink If that makes sense . P.P.S. This blog appears different when viewed by MSIE (like the Blogger screenshot) or Firefox (no 'graphics', squared corners, poor type handling). Will be testing Opera soon. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 02,July,2004 | Spare the Rod, Save the Child Missouri's youth prisons focus on small groups, therapy, caring. Officials in California's punishment-oriented system are taking a look. By Jenifer Warren Times Staff Writer July 1, 2004 ST. JOSEPH, Mo. — There are no handcuffs, no razor-wire fences, no uniforms, no cells. Missouri does things differently in its prisons for young people, and it shows — in what you see and what you don't. Inmates, referred to as 'kids,' live in dorms that feature beanbag chairs, potted plants, stuffed animals and bunk beds with smiley-face comforters. Guards — who are called 'youth specialists' and must have college degrees — go by their first names and don't hesitate to offer hugs. At the maximum-security lockup in St. Joseph, two cats, Midnight and Tigger, curl up on laps as the state's toughest teenage offenders explore the roots of their anger, weep over the acts of abusive parents and swap strategies for breaking free of gangs. At another facility in Kansas City, boys who rack up months of good behavior earn the right to attend summer basketball camp. 'The old corrections model was a failure; most kids left us worse off than when they came in,' said Mark Steward, the chief of Missouri's youth penal system. 'So we threw away that culture, and now we focus on treatment, on making connections with these guys and showing them another way…. It works.' urlLink This is a must read, but it requires free registration, sorry. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 02,July,2004 | Very interesting urlLink stuff brewing in the African-American community. Just when you thought it was the politically correct thing to do as a white male, to blame racism for the ongoing struggles of blacks in America, Bill Cosby upsets the apple cart and says there's no excuse. During Thursday's speech, Cosby said his detractors were not facing the facts about poor black communities and were just trying to cover up what he called their 'dirty laundry.' 'Let me tell you something, your dirty laundry gets out of school at 2:30 every day, it's cursing and calling each other n----r as they're walking up and down the street,' he said. Cosby continued railing about the state of black youth in America. 'They think they're hip,' he said. 'They can't read; they can't write. They're laughing and giggling, and they're going nowhere.' To African-American men, Cosby ranted, 'Stop beating up your women because you can't find a job.' He complained about rap music: 'When you put on a record, and that record is yelling 'n----r this' and 'n----r that' and cursing all over the thing and you got your little six-year-old and seven-year-old sitting in the back seat of the car--those children hear that. And I am telling you when you put the CD on and then you get up and dance to it What are you saying to your children?' And he also ripped into sitcoms targeting African-American audiences: 'Comedians coming on TV [saying,] 'I am so ugly, you are ugly, yuck, yuck.' That's all minstrel show stuff. I am tired of it.' 'I can't even talk the way these people talk, 'Why you ain't,' 'Where you is'...and I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk,' Cosby said in May. 'And then I heard the father talk...Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.' On Thursday, Cosby further elaborated his thoughts on the subject, saying once again that white people aren't to blame for teen pregnancy and high-school dropout rates. 'For me there is a time...when we have to turn the mirror around,' he said. 'Because for me it is almost analgesic to talk about what the white man is doing against us. And it keeps a person frozen in their seat, it keeps you frozen in your hole you're sitting in.' Easier said than done coming from a very wealthy man? I don't know. Does he minimize the very real impact of ongoing racism and socioeconomic inequality clearly held in place by a dominant white power structure? Could be. Does what he say have value? No doubt. It is not 'Uncle Tom' to take a hard look at how racism and inequality become internalized by the oppressed, to examine how this internalization often manifests as irrational, sometimes self-destructive behavior and cultural trends. It took guts for Cosby to take this stance and I'm glad Jesse Jackson is supporting him. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 02,July,2004 | It's crap like urlLink this that gives hippies a bad name: Rock musician David Crosby , founding member of the Byrds and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, pleaded guilty Friday to a gun charge, was fined $5,000 and sentenced to a conditional discharge. The singer was arrested March 6 at the DoubleTree Suites Hotel in midtown Manhattan. Police said they found a Colt .45-caliber handgun, three clips of .45-caliber ammunition and two knives in his luggage. Police also said the musician had a plastic bag containing an ounce of marijuana, a wooden container with a marijuana cigarette in it, a package of cigarette rolling papers and two other plastic containers with marijuana residue. What a shame. All the lovely music he's made and the mass movement of love and peace that he was a part of is overshadowed by the ridiculous behavior of an old drug addict. Way to go, Dave. More talking points for chronically uptight fascists in training. There are no perfect humans that I know of. For every David Crosby there's a urlLink Jack Ryan. |

3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 12,August,2004 | I have a new favorite website. The British newspaper The Guardian calls their site urlLink Guardian Unlimited , which contains content beyond what they print on paper. Noteable for their news coverage from outside the American corporate media machine, but just as appealing for their British take on all things cultural, it's a great place to browse for information and entertainment. The inspiration for this post came from reading two articles online today. urlLink Barred painter's open air nude show urlLink Naked women, cars and sports help doubles sales of mens mags The irony, when these two pieces are juxtaposed, is so thick and delicious you can cut it with a knife and relish in licking the bowl. Yet, what came to me when I read the second article is a much more serious issue - men being manipulated, mostly by other men. It never ceases to amaze me how transparent it all is. Dare watching commercial television for even a short while and you will be flooded with promises aimed at men that they will have more sex and more fun if they buy certain products or participate in certain activities. Guys, wake up! Don't you see what's going on here? You are not that stupid. You are not Pavlovian dogs! Shouldn't you feel insulted, used, stereotyped? Doesn't it bother you that it's mostly men who are selling these products, trying to exploit for their own personal gain you, their fellow men and the fact that you have been conditioned to reflexively respond to images of scantily clad women, flashy cars, rich sports celebrities, etc.? Do you think they should be raking in the dough, living a life of luxury, while you shell out your hard earned cash on items you might not purchase if you thoroughly thought about the options available. As an example and proof that I am in no way preaching a puritan lifestyle, let's look at beer. Question: Why in the world would anyone mindlessly choose Budweiser, Miller, or Coors when they can be enjoying urlLink Boundary Bay , urlLink Pike , or urlLink Fish Tail ? Answer: Boundary Bay, Pike, and Fish Tail will not use sexual or other manipulative imagery to sell their products. Oh yeah...and they actually taste good too. (While some would argue that another main reason for choosing Bud, Miller, and Coors is that they are cheaper, I would respond that men could easily afford the more expensive brews if they weren't blowing so much money on all the other stuff they've been manipulated into buying.) So, my fellow male Homo sapiens, rise above your caveman roots and join me in a toast, over a pint of Boundary Bay's Imperial Oatmeal Stout: To the liberation of all men from the Sirens-in-drag of modern advertising! Gulp. Ahhhhh! Damn, that's good! |

3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 10,August,2004 | On Sunday, I used the last of the beans in my apartment. On Monday, I made due with a cola. On Tuesday, I usually skip my coffee fix altogether, so I had forgotten to include beans in my day's errands. On Wednesday, today, right now! I am without coffee beans. Oh, the madness. Gives me a good excuse to walk the mile to the store before Seattle does yet another rendition of Miami with its too-hot-for-the-natives weather. Although, yes, I am not a native of Seattle, I do come from a 'colder' place, so I can play the trump card here, okay?! So, get off my back. I haven't had my coffee yet! SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) -- Brazil has announced the creation of a coffee DNA data bank, which will help the country improve the quality and size of its coffee crop. The announcement was made Tuesday by Agriculture Minister Roberto Rodrigues during a ceremony at Embrapa, country's agricultural research agency. Over the past two years and at a cost of 6 million reals ($2 million), Embrapa and the Sao Paulo State Research Foundation worked on the Coffee Genome Project, which mapped 200,000 coffee DNA sequences, the Agriculture Ministry said in a statement posted on its Web site. urlLink CNN Well, thank gawd for that. Amongst the thirty beans or so that I use for my French press, there is always one or two beans that simply do not get with the program. Yay! No more hand sifting. Oh, sure, I'll have to wait a few years and those coffee suppliers will still have to do a better job of keeping the medium roast beans far, far away from my dark roast, but I'll wait. But I need some -- rgxxxkckxsggrrrz -- coffee of the Mr. Hyde or Dr. Jekyll variety, I don't care, right freaking now! |

3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 09,August,2004 | Lombard's race is run By Brendan Mooney CATHAL LOMBARD has admitted to taking the performance enhancing drug Erythropoietin (EPO). The 28-year-old Corkman will not contest the findings. 'I didn't set out to try and win medals or to make money. I just wanted to be as competitive as I could and have an equal chance with everyone else. 'I am not trying to justify what I did in any way; I am just saying this was the case, this is what I did and, hands up, I did it.' Lombard, whose honesty is a historic first, expressed his sorrow and apologised to everyone in advance of the pending statement from the Athletics Association of Ireland. 'I got a letter faxed to me on Friday from the Irish Sports Council informing me of a possible breach of the Irish anti-doping rules,' he said. urlLink Irish Examiner - registration required, so see urlLink New Zealand Herald Ever since the line went beyond blurry to full-on, open use of professionals, the Olympics has been on a downward spiral. Now I do not care much if athletes use drugs or not, but if the rules forbid usage, then admit it. Come clean when caught. Of course, if judgment of rules abuse by the IOC is handled like the NCAA handles its issues, then many athletes are unfairly punished when taking something as simple as aspirin or cough medicine. Still, I gotta admire this Irish lad for his admission of guilt. Granted, he only deserves admiration because many, many athletes have long been denying their use of illegal substances. Cathal, my next Guinness or Harp will be toasted your way. Sláinte! |

3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 05,August,2004 | The key to moving towards urlLink energy independence is to anticipate the knee-jerk reaction that the very powerful energy industry will have to any proposals that suggest a change to the status quo. Listen, closely, you can almost hear them saying it now, 'This policy will put thousands and thousands of Americans out of work!' No, actually, your pathetic, short-sighted management of your companies, not planning for the inevitable need to develop new energy resources to position your companies for success in the future, will put thousands and thousands out of work. Ever have that argument with a free market capitalist who says that there is nothing wrong with 'big box' chain stores like The Home Depot coming to town and putting 'Mom & Pop' hardware stores out of business? What's their biggest argument? 'If Mom & Pop can't get creative and figure out how to compete, then it's survival of the fittest.' Any chance that this same free market capitalist would apply that same theory to, let's say, oil companies who claim that they will be put out of business by competing energy companies? I didn't think so. The truth is, regardless of how much environmentalists and anti-corporation activists despise the current energy industry, it makes no sense to propose policies that threaten these corporate giants. If there is one thing that these companies are good at it's producing and distributing products to millions of consumers spread all over the globe. Yes, production and distribution has been extremely destructive to the environment, but that is more a function of the toxic nature of the product than their business practices. Kerry's plan, based on the scanty information available thus far, seems to understand the value of making the development of sustainable energy an attractive, money-making proposition for the energy industry. Why reinvent the wheel when we can just make it a better wheel? Will the energy companies still cry foul? Yes, particularly because they are so financially and politically entangled in the Middle East. However, given how badly it is going over there, while a U.S. President from an oil family presided over record-breaking gas prices, they may not have a leg to stand on. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 05,August,2004 | So, I've finally come up for air. I'm taking too many breaths. I've got so much to do. So much to say. See in the last month -- off and on when not becoming a born again digital virgin (that's right, the technological kid has come in from the analog storm (storms are good every now and again)) -- I've been swimming through urlLink content management systems , urlLink blogware (again and sticking with urlLink WordPress ) and urlLink web standards . Before posting a lot about which you may have no interest in reading (then please skim!), know that this is all gonna see the light of day (sorta) at t-floss when its appearance starts to shift. urlLink Brand identity , baby! (If anybody knows the title of the book Tom Peters co-authored about branding, published circa 1980, please let me know. It was a fantastic book that doesn't contain all the awful self-help language he employs these days. The dark side of success. And branding. Everyone copies you and the parody makes the original laughable. Sorta. Anyway...) There is a lot to web standards and urlLink accessibility . No more do web developers have to write six different pages for six different browsers. Mainly, they need to focus on 5% of the web's users who use standards-compliant browsers and then do some minimal hacking to accommodate the other 95%. Cough, Redmond, cough. Please make IE7 urlLink the best browser . :pray: Anyway, thank gawd that the browser wars are (mostly) over. (Now, could we do something about our two-party political process! I'm all about the lack of standards when the two opposing parties are basically the same. Um, where was I?) That's right, back in the halcyon days of early 2001 when I took to the road, I tried to redesign my website from my car while doing 85 mph. Zogging while others thought zagging was cooler than zigging. Well, I quickly learned that my poor HTML 3 skills were not going to cut it out on the open road. That Adobe GoLive could only do so much and too much (bloated code). Too many of my friends were having difficulty browsing my site or even downloading it (not to mention uploading it from a 14k wireless modem). Well, the downloading/uploading problem was easily solved but the browser issues were another matter. I threw my hands in the air and awaited the web world people to get their act together. The saddest bit about all of this is that the tools to obtain web standards, CSS (loosely: design) and XHTML (loosely: structure)*, were finally accepted in prime time when I eschewed my web presence back in late-Spring of 2001. I've lost three years! Had I been patient or not been so taken by, um, well her name is unimportant... *Content can be achieved by a variety of means as can XHTML but it is all circular and above the reach of this post. So, if you are interested in standards, I suggest stopping by the sites urlLink A List Apart and urlLink Asterisk* , the latter seems to be the most focused blog on web design issues regarding standards. Of course, I am only now crawling out from the waters of theory (read: I was reading books) and onto the land of practice (read: plowing through websites for quick tips as I quickly relaunch my personal website), so there is probably urlLink a lot more out there concerned with my standards interests (both arguments for and against) that I've not had enough time to read. Oh, but here's one funny, funny piece, urlLink Gurus v. Bloggers 2 ( urlLink part one ), for those interested in the contradictions of 'practice what you preach'. Both these Design by Fire (DxF) articles have plenty of great websites listed. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 04,August,2004 | You know how it is. It's 2 a.m. on a Saturday night. Last call has come and gone. Yes, there've been many identical nights like this one, out with friends sharing libations and that simple pleasure of camaraderie in our friendly neighborhood tavern. Yet, to call these evenings ordinary was to overlook the priceless value they brought - the hours together, leaning on each other through the trials and tribulations of young adulthood, trying to make sense of all the pressures we felt from a world of parents and professors demanding a commitment to discipline, only sure about a few things - we liked each other, Rock & Roll music, cold beer in a cozy bar, and talking, as long as we could stay awake, about all our dreams. Last call always came as a temporary let down until one of us casually said the inevitable, 'Who's hungry?' There's a new film coming out called urlLink Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle , described as a late night road movie, the adventures of two guys from New Jersey who get the munchies and are compelled to get to a urlLink White Castle restaurant at all cost. Being from New Jersey and having actually spent a few late nights in college making my way to and from White Castle, I couldn't hold off the rush of memories that came to me, though the more I read about the movie it is clear that, the similarities to my experiences notwithstanding, the film really has nothing to do with me and my friends. Beyond the obvious, that the two protagonists are from Indian and Pakistani heritages respectively, while we were all white, middle class, mostly Jewish suburbanites, perhaps the clearest difference lies in the real reason for finding a late night eating establishment after closing down the bar. It never was about the food. A film that comes closer to what I remember would be Barry Levinson's urlLink Diner . A urlLink summary of Diner from that website goes like this: Set in 1959, Diner shows how five young men resist their adulthood and seek refuge in their beloved Diner. The mundane, childish, and titillating details of their lives are shared. But the golden moments pass, and the men shoulder their responsibilities, leaving the Diner behind. In preparing this post, I emailed some of my old friends, asking them to share their memories of our precious late night gab sessions over food. They'll hate this, but perhaps the years have caught up with them because their responses, more accurately a pathetic lack of responses, initially made me question my own rose-colored-glasses look backward. One friend who still lives in New Jersey wrote that he remembers waking up in the morning feeling terrible from having eaten at a greasy spoon called urlLink The White Rose System , popular for it's artery-hardening burgers and for being open 24 hours. It's true that we always blamed the burgers for how awful we felt the next day, in total denial that alcohol might have had anything to do with it. Still I hadn't gleaned what I hoped from the old gang, so I had to rely on my own recollections. Fortunately, there are many fond moments and places to choose from - burger joints and pizza parlors after the bars, diners and Denny's after concerts in the city, dives from New Brunswick to Manhattan just shootin' the shit. Perhaps the reason why I didn't get a better response from my friends has something to do with geographical distance. Whereas we used to all live either together or within minutes of each other, we are now spread across the country, in New Jersey, Arizona, California, and Washington State. Yeah, something tells me that if we were all together, sitting around a pizza pie and pitchers of beer, the stories would flood the place. That's what it was always about. |
3,647,746 | male | 39 | Education | Virgo | 02,August,2004 | A month ago I posted some urlLink commentary on Bill Cosby's recent rants. The Cos has been raising hell about how his fellow African-Americans, namely those living in poverty, are increasingly responsible for their lack of upward mobility. As a follow-up, I highly recommend this excellent urlLink column by none other than Henry Louis Gates, Jr. in the New York Times. Gates draws on the Cosby comments as well as the now famous DNC speech of Barack Obama. Here's a teaser: Go into any inner-city neighborhood,' Barack Obama said in his keynote address to the Democratic National Convention, 'and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn. They know that parents have to parent, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white.' In a speech filled with rousing applause lines, it was a line that many black Democratic delegates found especially galvanizing. Not just because they agreed, but because it was a home truth they'd seldom heard a politician say out loud. Why has it been so difficult for black leaders to say such things in public, without being pilloried for 'blaming the victim'? Why the huge flap over Bill Cosby's insistence that black teenagers do their homework, stay in school, master standard English and stop having babies? Any black person who frequents a barbershop or beauty parlor in the inner city knows that Mr. Cosby was only echoing sentiments widely shared in the black community. (p.s. May this post serve as a not-so-subtle plug for the New York Times Online. Yes it requires registration, but if there is any single publication worth going through the hassle of filling out and submitting a free registration form its this one. If you don't like registering because you are worried about getting junk email, get a throwaway free Hotmail or Yahoo email account if you have to, but don't block yourself out of the Times for that reason alone.) |

OMG THAT IS SOOOO SICK. i dont even wanna think about that. so if you could help me it would be fabulous! well everyone this is goodbye for now and i'll probably post tonight to let you know what happened today. trying to make some plans w/ someone. so ya and i have to go shower now. hehe cleaning is good. mucho mucho mucho love xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo |

Why does it take guyz so long to ask you out? idk wat they are waiting for. oh well i need to wait anywayz to work somethings out w/ someone else b4 i can have anything happen honestly. i really wish ppl would see eye to eye w/ me more often but i guess we cant all be that lucky so i honestly pray to God that this someone sees where i'm comin from and if not that i can just move on w/o any guilt. ya so sam just got back from being outta town for like a week and he was gonna come to the movies cuz hes gonna be leaving tomorrow for another week but NOOOO he has been gone from the house for like 3 weeks and wanted to stay home and 'sit around' okay...w/e sam i worked yesterday w/ michael and tyler for like 3 hours so it was purty fun....they talk alot lol bout random stuff too but i've discovered tonight that most guyz do. tyler had me try vanilla mello yellow and michael made me try strawberry coke...they were both purty good but i liked the strawberry coke better. see we have these different syrups that we put in some of our smoothies so when we're not that busy i go up and get a drink and squirt some syrup in it...its purty fun. dont have too much to say right now...besides i cant stay on much longer but i'll try and write more later! luv ya all a bunch! xoxo |
3,518,852 | female | 15 | indUnk | Aries | 18,julio,2004 | school picnic was today...it was alright. i have to say last years was better...mayb b/c of the new crush and the stalkerish attitude lol altho i do have to say i greatly enjoyed the speech excersizes we did. i specially enjoyed ripping up my cool card and playing ride the pony. that was probably my favorite. I had 3 things i could have done tonight...1. go to LOST at church...basically where they drop you off in the middle of no where with a group and you gotta find ur way back to the church but they leave you w/ a little poket money. 2. go to the drive in w/ cody and his d-group and the gurlz d-group that hangs out w/ them or 3. to go over to tjs house....wat does samantha end up doing???? staying home w/ her parents and going to subway wowness..i'm fun i really dont have much to say ...sry most of the juicy stuff goes in my diary so i'm not lettin any of that out. blah |
3,518,852 | female | 15 | indUnk | Aries | 18,julio,2004 | i'm having weird feelings about everything but i'm not gonna talk about them....1. cuz no one probly cares lol 2. i just dont wanna 3. fact is, i really dont know wat to say about them thanx TJ for the comments about my dad...that just totally rox and its awesome and ya you know it was cool lol 'No one can hurt me half as bad as i hurt myself' that quote basically shows my personality for the past month or two and present cept i dont listen to it and i continue hurting myself. i'm so messed up right now. life is so strange or is it me? probly the latter any comments? |
3,518,852 | female | 15 | indUnk | Aries | 18,julio,2004 | isnt it funny how you can love someone to death one day and then the very next loathe them enuf to want to never see them again!?!?! i really dont think it is. but i can tell you it sux. i hear from some i care too much...that i need to go w/ the flow and just let things role off my back...that i let things get to me too easily and i'm one of the few ppl who have such a caring attitude and that its a blessing and a curse at the same time (dont you hate those?) just like being hott....(hehe i love you kid) but.... dun dun dun some also say i dont care enuf...i let ppl slide w/ just a sorry which is just a word coming outta their mouths and its just dripping w/ disrespect and unimportance...the one you thot cared is really just manipulating you into their little slave cuz you've had them on a pedestal for as long as u've known them and its coming back and slapping you in the face...WHOA NOW i totally got way off...thats me venting w/o names i was reading this stupid mythology thing and found myself acting very 'blondish' when it took me a chapter to realize why Echo was named Echo and why she was cursed w/ only the ability to repeat wat others say instead of having speech for herself. but on the smart side of things...going back to my natural brunette color, i found the story about cupid and psyche very interesting how she let her sisters convince her that he was something he wasnt and she almost lost him forever....she went to great lengths to get him back of course but idk its weird how ppl influence you into thinking one thing when its something totally different. ya know those ppl that came up w/ this stuff had a good idea on how to fix how things happened....i really think its all bogus but its kinda interesting some of the stories they think of.... omg i was totally thinking about how frikin scary would it be to suddenly like turn into a tree...wow ANYWAYZ i hate how guyz dont understand the meaning of gurlz time of the month...oh well they will jst never understand and i guess i'll just have to deal w/ that.... thank you for listening to one of sams boring blogs but plez leave a comment and let me know wat u think i should do or who u think i am or if you think i should just shut up...run away to the beach...and figure it out myself or if anyone agrees w/ me when i say i feel like i'm sounding like a certain someone...hmmm much homework for you all! hehe luv you guyz |

3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 28,May,2004 | So the other night there was this huge nasty spider on my kitchen ceiling. Since Pete was here, I asked him to kindly get it and put it outside or kill it. Well being the nicest mr. peacelover that he is, he said that he wasnt going to kill it. ok- i can understand that, but at least get it down, right? well because the damn thing was in a little corner -like most spiders are- he was hard to get down. I could not sleep knowing that this spider was possibly making babies and in the morning i would have to kill 12 not just 1 so I worked up enough nerve to kill the damn thing. Now, I feel bad because Pete is so sensitive when it comes to animals and insects. Animals are one thing, but insects- man i can smash an insect or spider in no time and not think twice about it--- or so i thought till now. So people tell me what you think. To kill the spider or not to kill the spider? One of my friends gave me a good recommendation and said get a glass jar and trap the spider in that and then slide a piece of paper up behind the back of the jar and the spider will fall in that and then you can throw him out. I think next time I will have to try that. |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 26,May,2004 | This week has been very exhausting at school. Its really hard sitting in lecture all day listening to these wonderful designers who are so famous and successful and not being able to do anything about it. I know that it all just takes time and commitment, but I am ready to start working and really learning hands on. This week is mainly business lectures- how to set up your own business, what kinds of accounting software to use, all the specification, licensing, trade information. One of the designers who set up her company after graduating from college went on to be very successful and was contacted by ppl in japan to go over there and design restaurants, watches, clothes, etc. She said that once you are a designer, the Japanese ask you to design many different things, not just interiors.... (sigh***) someday maybe. Well, I am starting on gathering information for my first project. I think it will be so exciting, but at the same time kind of difficult. Its only a 3 star hotel and its main competition are all 5 star hotels. But this beach resort has much better beaches and a better location so I need to start sourcing asap. Tomorrow we will get the client brief and then I can start on my design analysis. We have a long weekend- Friday and Monday off- yeah!! I can catch up on sleep!! On Saturday after work, I am going to Sheffield to visit Pete's family. I'll meet his grandmother, who is going blind. I feel so sorry for her, she wants to meet me and see Pete one more time before she is completely blind. Also, Pete's dad's birthday is coming up. I have no clue what to get men for presents- esp. since I dont know him that well. I dont want to get him anything cheesy ya know? Any suggestions? Oh, I signed up for some online courses (like I have time i know!) but they are free and I think I will be able to learn alot. I can take courses such as HTML, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, etc- it may be useful so that I can set up my own website someday. |

3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 23,May,2004 | So I am finally trying to get together a portfolio to show prospective companies. After looking through all my projects, its really hard to put something in a portfolio when you think its crap... I wish I had more time to redo so many projects. But oh well, lets just hope that somebody out there somewhere wants to hire me---!!!! soon! hee hee Posted by urlLink Hello |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 23,May,2004 | Kill Bill was actually pretty good. I liked it but I can't stand sequels to movies. They are never as good as the first and I hate waiting months for the next one to come out. By the time they come out, I've forgotten half of the plot of the first one. Posted by urlLink Hello |

3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 05,June,2004 | I am completely stuffed!!! its one of those yum, im so stuffed and I just wanna sit back and watch a movie and not do anything kind of stuffed- not one of those- oh, i think i ate too much and am going to have a tummy ache one so thats good. pete and i went out to this indian restaurant we hadnt been to before and just pigged out. then we walked all the way to blockbuster and we were going to rent The Last Samuri- walked up to the counter and everything and.... i had forgotten my card and I also had Pete's card from the last time we went to BB, so we had to walk all the way back empty handed. How disappointing. So now I think Ill have to actually do some more work. Blah... Can you believe that I cant just give them my name and then rent the videos? They needed a pic id and i didnt bring my wallet out, so no luck there. oh well |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 02,June,2004 | I got my grades back from my last project and I did pretty well. Was quite 'chuffed' as everyone here says. My tutor said that my presentation was so strong and convincing that he thought i had come from a marketing background. NICE. anyway, just spent the last 3 hours working on my portfolio and it wasnt even a real portfolio, its just one done on powerpoint so that i can send it to prospective employers. I am quite happy with it, but i just need to change a few things. Oh and no it didnt take me 3 hours to set up the PP thing- I am fine with that, it was doing things on Adobe photoshop that took me so long. anyway, now back to my last project. I really cant wait for school to be through. to think that my evenings will actually be free- my own time -- sounds like paradise!! oh- another good thing- it looks like ill be going to japan this summer!! yeah! im running out of my cosmetics anyway, and i only trust the japanese kind for my skin. so fun fun. lots of catching up with ppl and relatives. one of my friends is getting married!!!! |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 01,June,2004 | So Pete and I are just sitting here having a lovely dinner when all of a sudden we hear a huge CRACK and look up to see that our bay window in the living room has a gigantic hole in the window!! Some f*&#nut must have thrown a rock through our window. Who the hell would do that to us? We have no friends or enemies in Luton! Everyone we hang out with live in London. Let me just tell you one thing. LUTON SUX!!! it is the worst place! Ha- so at least you guys wont want to come and visit me. Anyway, had a nice weekend in Sheffield. But I somehow managed to pull a muscle in my back and it hurts like shit!! So I dont know what to do and all i want is sympathy. What do you do for a pulled muscle?? Never had one before... |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 06,June,2004 | well i just applied for two jobs today but im not holding my breath. one was for a company in London and another was for a company in Los Angelos. So what i really shouldve been doing was my work for my final project, but im thinking finding a job is a little more important. so pete informs me that our last day in this flat is july 13th! ok, thats only a little more than a month left. what are we going to do? hum... im supposed to have all this shit figured out by now, but of course things never happen like you plan so ive stopped planning. everyone says it will all fall into place, but i have yet to see that happen. i am waiting anxiously for my dream job to jump into my lap. i dont know whether to stay here in london with pete or go back to the states and get a job there. im so torn and have no clue. sometimes i just wish that someone would make up my mind for me--- because i change mine every second. for the time being, i guess just applying for jobs in london and the states will be good. but i just dont know. why give up a good thing when nothings wrong ya know? hmmm... lots to think about, but after doing some thinking over the past 9 months i havent come up with an answer so how will one more month give me the answer? yeah right. well, its midnight. i have to get up tomorrow at 7 and commute 2 hours to school and work on my last project. fun fun. |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 14,June,2004 | I just started checking out airline prices for a flight home and they start around $1200!! That is just insane! I was able to fly from London to Charlotte roundtrip for about $600 around Christmas and thats the busiest time of the year! How could the price jump up to 1200?? OMG... what am i going to do?? hmmm... |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 13,June,2004 | Wow. it is gorgeous outside! Absolutely beautiful!... and i have to be inside drawing all day!! How annoying! I cannot wait for this project to be over. I have never done anything that consumes my life 24 hrs a day. I have already had so many dreams about this project- the presentation, the design. Isnt that crazy? Oh, on the good side of things, I got an email from an interior design company in California who is interested in seeing my portfolio! Yeah! I would love to move to Cali- good weather, good food, and right by the ocean. Perfect! Keep your fingers crossed. I sent her my portfolio yesterday. |
3,413,825 | female | 25 | Student | Taurus | 21,June,2004 | well, i turned in my last project today. yeah!! its all over! tomorrow, i am first up for presentations so at least ill get it over with quickly. but man am i tired!! i got an email back from the interior design company out in LA and she liked my portfolio!! yay! but i think she is looking to hire someone immediately and because i will not be back in the states till mid july, i dont know... but yes, i finally bought my tix home- for july 10th! so i will finally after 3 years be stateside again. im getting all excited just thinking about it! |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 27,July,2004 | Well, for those of you unacquainted with my travels over the past year, I'm current in grad school at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It's not quite LA Tech, but I make do. I've been working on some pretty esoteric problems in power systems, so I'm pretty sure any more details about what I'm doing would be cause for some type of beating. Lately I haven't been able to engage in anything of any real excitement here(unless eating funnel cake while listening to a demolition derby counts) due to a pretty strict regimen of work and little sleep, but I'm certainly up for reading about someone else having the fun I'm missing. There's also an open invitation to come up and watch me study for my qualifying exam in November. Yes, that goes for all of you. |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 24,July,2004 | I can only assume that everyone's elses silence is out of awe at the power of my first post. Please don't let that stop you. People will want to read your posts even if they aren't as amazing as mine -- our readers are realistic. |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 24,July,2004 | I much prefer that opening to Lucas's 'A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away,' but I have to admit that one of my favorite parts of a very funny speech a friend of mine used to give revolves around the fact that, although Star Wars is futuristic, it's supposed to have happened in the past. Remind me and I'll tell you the joke sometime. Or if you have ten minutes, do yourself a favor and urlLink watch the speech . |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 09,August,2004 | Trying to get a list together and hopefully get at least some mild timeframes for Matt's last party as a free man (excepting of course the night before his fune..err, wedding). Last conversations put the approximate date of the gathering near March 12th or March 19th. The two major venues I heard mention are Las Vegas and New Orleans. I'm mostly inclined to go with a majority view, but please be aware that not everyone who 'gets a voice' has access to this forum. My personal vote - for both financial and lazy reasons - is New Orleans. With a good crowd, it's hard to beat the French Quarter and Uptown for drinks and tomfoolery. Assuming we could get people to land in New Orleans at close to the same times (or a couple of times), I'm not opposed to providing transportation for the weekend. I know golf courses and paintball facilities within 45 minutes of New Orleans. Live music is everywhere. I'm sure I can speak with a few friends to find the right gentleman's establishments for poor little engaged Matt. Anyway, Vegas is also an option, I just have to do more research for it. Thoughts, suggestions, gibberish... |

Do yourself a favor and check out urlLink Meat! Meat! Meat! Warning: Probably better if you aren't wolfing down a meatloaf sandwich while viewing this. And don't do it at work unless you coworkers are accustomed to unexplained giggling interspersed with the occasional guffaw. |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 27,July,2004 | I've just been reading Toqueville's urlLink Democracy in America (for those of you with portable devices, try urlLink here ), and I must say it's an amazingly relevant book given its age, though maybe I'm just overwhelmed by my first real poli. sci. book. Though I'm not sure if the book even qualifies as poli. sci. I'll publish some quotes later when I have the book in front of me. I can't believe I went through my entire urlLink high school and urlLink undergraduate career without even hearing mention of it. |
4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 25,July,2004 | Check out the latest Department of Energy budget urlLink here . The amusing part comes from the amount spent on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (or 'The FERC', which sounds more appropriately ominous). Any guesses as to how much money the DOE gives to FERC? The answer: 0. That's right. DOE gives roughly $8 billion dollars to weapons research, and zip to the guys who have (arguably) the most influence on how much power costs in your home, and how to prevent things like blackouts. This is why FERC can only hire starting engineers at urlLink $38000 , whereas the national average starting salary for electrical engineers is around urlLink $50000 (it's the 3rd most lucrative degree available). It's pretty sad that such a potentially meaningful job has such poor salaries...and might explain some of the ill-thought-out work ( urlLink SMD , anyone?) they produce. |

4,036,299 | male | 23 | Student | Sagittarius | 16,August,2004 | urlLink Evolutionism Propaganda You heard it here first--the concept of evolution is responsible for the spread of AIDS: 'They argued that AIDS is constantly evolving and if it weren't for Darwin we wouldn't understand why and thus would be helpless in treating the disease (they conveniently neglect to point out that Darwinistic propaganda equating us with animals might have helped to spread the disease in the first place) .

4,118,479 | female | 24 | Banking | Libra | 16,August,2004 | Hello, I’m back again………. Friday was simply great; I did wear a saree after all. Since I live close to work (about a 5 min drive) my friends made me go home and change into a saree. Luckily my mum was at home so she draped the saree for me. The weekend was pretty busy. I met up with a few of my old office friends on Sunday after nearly 2 years. It was a huge effort on Ash’s part to get all of us together, but she did it nevertheless. It was really nice catching up on what has been going on and most surprising was, after we spoke for sometime, we realized most of our colleagues in office are either married or have a baby!!!!! We all met up at Barista and sat there for about 2 hours just catching up on what we had missed. Jerry is now a manager doing Strategic Planning (playing Sin) :o), Dhanya and Ash are trainers, Bryan is a Quality Analyst, Anne is back in college and Sujit and Conrad are doing very well for themselves. Gayathri who apparently didn’t turn up on Sunday, is now in charge of training. Three years back, all of us just out of college, looking for some place to start our careers. We got to know each other better and sooner than we realized we were good friends. All of us were in one team fortunately J and we continued to work together. Being our first job, every one was very enthusiastic, especially Ash, she would come to work even on her days off; our manager had to literally drive her back home. It was these friends who like a dose of caffeine, kept me awake during night shifts (2:30 am – 11:30 am).They were one of the reasons I looked forward to going to work (and the salary also :0) We used to go sometimes to a resort on team outing’s and we used to have a ball. Getting back to work next morning was a problem, but that’s beside the point. Little by little, people started leaving; Sujit was the first one and then Anne, then Connie and Brian and then me. Ash, Gayathri, Dhanya and Jerry still work in the same place. As months and years went by, we lost touch; everyone was so busy doing their own thing but the evening out on Sunday was an ice-breaker. It was like re-living the good times we had, how this first job has molded our future, our personality and not forgetting the precious friends we made. There is nothing better than the pleasant memories you carry with you as you move ahead in life. |
4,118,479 | female | 24 | Banking | Libra | 03,August,2004 | 12th August After a long thought about what to post in my second blog, I am still clueless and my imagination seems to abscond when I need it the most. Well here I go anyway…….just another day at work, that too not too much of it. It’s not very nice when you finish your work at the beginning of that day and then you have about 3-4 hours left with nothing to do. I wish I could go home instead L 13th August I am back again, this is the second day and it’s taken me around 24 hours to write a few lines. Since the Indian Independence Day falls on a Sunday (waste of a good public holiday) we are having Independence Day celebrations in office today. To celebrate the spirit of Independence we decided to dress in Indian Traditional clothes. I conveniently forgot about it and realized this just before I could leave from home this morning and it was too late to decide to wear a saree. The Saree is the Indian Traditional Dress worn by the women. It is usually 5-6 yards longs and is draped around the waist in a very beautiful and elegant way which I don’t think I will ever be able to master. It takes me hours to wear the saree and even after that it looks like I’ve just wrapped a bed sheet around myselfL. A Saree comes in different fabrics, Chiffon, Georgette, Silk and Cotton, to name a few. There is a particular type of saree with a lot of gold thread woven in the fabric, this is called ‘Zari’ and it is the most beautiful Indian Dress I have ever seen. Everything is so colorful here, we’ve got the Indian flags all over the office and everyone looks so bright and beautiful in Indian Clothes. I’m off to celebrate our Independence……..bye |

3,573,986 | female | 14 | indUnk | Leo | 26,June,2004 | I'm 13 years old now, and one person said, 'You are a teenager right now, and it is going to be a hard moment in ur life.' First time I don't really expecting that moment coz I know it's going to hard, but, right now, I feel it.. I'm going to be a teenager, and I'm starting to feel the difference from childhood into teenagerhood. Like she said, it's going to hard. I know, it's just the beggining, and it's hard enough for me. My mum is a great woman, she passed a very terrible childhood with her mother, and she is a very great mother for me right now. That's why I adore her so much. I have 3 sisters, mm, 3 older sister actually, and I'm the last. I'm the fourth. Every one says that teenager is hard for everyone and for the child's mother coz she must help and face her child's bad behave. My mom, ... 3 times already.. And it's going to four. Me, the last one, I don't wanna be the worse of course.. It's hard for me, and it's going to a very long long hard way for me to pass. I try to behave as nice as possible, and again, it's hard. Well, there's none easy live, right? Like all of teenager stuff, I'm thinking about boys and girls connection.. I know for sure that it's not my time to have a boyfriend, ofcourse!But,sometimes I wonder, why some of my friends making 'love' each other so sooN. What is it for? It's no use, I think. But sometimes I think the opposite, why do parents forbid their children to attach each other? it's for their experience, right? As long it doesn't disturb their school.. Why why and why?? Oh God, I'm a teenager, and it's hard. And, sorry if my English is weird enough to make u lil bit confused. |

3,573,986 | female | 14 | indUnk | Leo | 08,June,2004 | Hi everyone! I'm new in here... Just wanna say Helloo!!! |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Much funny. 2 points. As mentioned in the email, no game this week; I have to research a 13th century poem for a final paper. I enjoy the work, but I'd much rather have swashbuckling adventure in wintery Hillsfar. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | Harpers, Harpers, everywhere. Harpers, Harpers, they really care. Harpers, Harpers, stay in motion. Harpers, Harpers, healing potions. Harpers, Harpers, pins of green. Harpers, Harpers, enter the scene. Harpers, Harpers, formed by a bard. Harpers, Harpers, .... What? A Bard?!?! You got to be fucking kidding me, right?!?! A Bard?! Jesus Christ, we're screwed!! |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | In an earlier post, Johnathan said: 'And then: What of Gregory? Does he feel a pull to move beyond his comfort zone, or is it a natural evolution for him to remain in the Central Heartlands of Faerun, patrolling the darkness that lurks therein? ........ There is room for everyone, and for every player in the saga, Glory Awaits. But what Glory will that be? The Local Hero? The Regional Hero? The Hero of the Land? The Hero of a World? Or the Hero of the Multiverse?' To respond to this in a way, I would say that Gregory is really having to make a sort of leap of faith to swallow all of this extraplanar stuff. He gets it and doesn't get it at the same time. He can understand the world as being a large and changing place, but seeing Father Castillion in the Ethereal plane...well, freaked him out. To Gregory, it was basically like talking to a ghost, and that is just creepy. He understands gods, but for there to be something bigger than gods that can take a whole planet and put it in the middle of a nothingness place, it's just a bit much. Even though he is actually experiencing it, he is still kind of thinking in the back of his mind, 'Yeah....right....whatever you say man.' And what glory will he find? Local Hero? Multiverse? He would most likely never expect to rise above something between Hero of the Land and Hero of the World. Frankly, because he doesn't really see/understand the whole multiverse thing, and even being 'Hero of the World' is kind of pretentious in his eyes. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | I'd post this on the RTG Blog, but I can't post there. Could someone either post or e-mail me the resolution to the Catillian situation? As the original hook of our adventure, I'm kind of curious. Thanks. # posted by IDIC : 10/23/2003 12:53:31 PM Castillion was rescued during the collapse by unnamed friends, and is now alive and well in the Ethereal. The party talked with him in the office of Din Dal Kut, who resides on a splinter plane. It seems that when Thulos took Terranel, the 'local group' of the multiverse was torn away with it, and all exist as a miniature multiverse in the in-between-place. A side result of this occurence is that, according to Castillion, the dead have nowhere to go, and have been gathering at an unknown city for millenia. Castillion is now dedicated to renewing contact with the gods, if possible. He has recommened that the party join forces with the Harpers, a secret society formed by the last Elven bard at the very end of the Great Retreat. Upon seeing Calleum and the banner of Heironeous in a magical viewing painting/frame on Din Dal Kut's office wall, Burne leapt to join his mentor, and was last seen in a battle in Rashemen, one of the lands that borders the Far East. The act broke the portal, and the party was unable to follow. Also, Castillon is Ian's father. Having reached the end of the original journey, Ian and Gregory are beginning to question if they should continue, or return to Tilverton to tell of Castillion's demise -- which was Castillion's request, as the truth would be too difficult to understand. Players have the option of sending their character off to do something long-term, and create and play a new character. The world stage has expanded wide enough to accomodate such. Once the false murder rap is resolved, the party may see the Breaking of the original Fellowship -- but the beginning of a much larger, world-spanning epic. # posted by Harmony : 10/23/2003 02:00:31 PM |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | The answer to the first question lies with Master Po; the answer to the second is Sister Jayna, the priestess who took over after Castillion departed. |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | it seems odd to think of brother ian as having a father. he seems like the type that just sprouted out of the ground. and if fc really is his father, then why didn't he claim him earlier? who is his mother? |
589,736 | male | 35 | Technology | Aries | 05,August,2004 | since our next game is the weekend of halloween, why don't we all dress up like our characters next session? |
