  1. damnit, i had so much more written. fuck this five minute edit shit. lemme type out the rest.
  2. like everyone else im gonna go ahead and talk about getting into college. i feel like college is just like any other position you would be applying for, you have to sell yourself. read a book or two on writing college entrance essays, it helps. one of my favorite essays i have ever written was an entrance essay to northwestern. i didnt get in, but thats cus i liked having a full spectrum of grades in highschool. pay attention to how the general feel of college entrances are going. read a lot of us news reviews on schools and do research into what schools you feel are possible for you. once you have an idea of where you would like to go, you can then figure out exactly what you need to do to make yourself available and presentable to those schools. if a school is focused on engeneering, talk a lot about any science experiences youve had. if your required to submit a previous work from a class, present one which is relevant to the reason your applying to said school. a little patience and calm rationale will get you into a college in this country. there are so many. dont ever think you don't have options as far as continued education. as far as grades are concerned, they matter. to an extent. you can compensate for not having great grades, but you better be good at it. i had horrible grades in highschool, tests saved my ass. along with teachers willing to let me do work on my own timetables, but i did a lot of other shit to compare. i was on the school's academic decathlon team (nerdlifeferreal), competing against other C students. there is no comparison, however, to being able to say to a college that you are a smart kid and that they can tell through looking at your grades. i wasn't able to do that, so i tried to make it work other ways.
  3. i like how no one has discussed the harlequin fetus up there...that shits real. and creepy.
  4. fuck an emu. i was drinking next to a keg, all day. for jesus.
  5. iron the shirt indeed. and when your done with that, get to the fuckin dishes. and those are clean. (theshoes)
  6. thats a nice picture ya got there. i believe we can be friends. grilling=best food ever. i got up a couple days ago round one in the afternoon. realized i had nothing to do but grill up some breakfast. stood in the beautiful outdoors, drank my forty and had a couple hot dogs. good day.
  7. that shit is rediculous. i dont even know how to feel about that. murika
  8. judge mathis is the shit. and fuck you for not watching mash. hawkeye is pissed.
  9. one time i got to thinkin about vending machines. and if there was a vending machine that dispensed other vending machines. that would be one big fucking vending machine. cheers to easter and all those that participated to make jesus rise. through our drinking. and kegs.
  10. yeahhhhh. get the titties in this thread. jesus liked em, I love em... poop.
  11. i watched the wall mart southpark earlier, preempted by a little ultimate warrior vs hbk.
  12. i would like to thank all that made this day possible. namely jesus. he died for us...and our beer. which is awesome. for some reason when i read dog chapmans post I heard it in the voice of butthead
  13. I would just like to talk about my school for a second, and the burilliant idea that it has for easter. A long time ago someone decided that hiding kegs in the forest is a great way to celebrate the rising of the lord, and they were right. There is nothing like a keg of double bag, and then a long trail ale at nine in the morning. What an awesome holiday. easter keg hunt. anywho, Praise the lord. rip big baby jesus. i leave you with this: + + = ps. still drunk
  14. Re: Great Pictures~ cadbury like a motherfucker
  15. Re: the nature of the creator of the heavens and earth Mod X- its shape, lost my name as well. but i mean fuck it lets just take some soma and go to the smellies. Brave new world is one of my favorite books. I did a semester long meditation on futurism of the early to mid 20th century a while ago, and I had some pretty cool revelations during it. It forced me to look at a lot of people's perceptions of the future through the minutia of day to day life and how it would be impacted on the smaller scales by technological and societal advancement. The crazy shit that I was finding, however, was that most forms of continuing themes within the works that I was using as a base for the project have already in some form or another come to pass within our reality. Take for instance, the concept of "instentaneous information" that a lot of sci-fi stories talk about. It is already here. A couple weeks ago, I was on my friends computer and they had Trillian running. Now trillian acts as a third party host program for all communicative programs such as AIM, MSN Messenger, etc. But what I found most particularly fascinating about it was the script within the program that analyzes text, finds an appropriate entry within Wikipedia, about said phrase or text, and then displays it as a bubble when you run your cursor over the word. Now, at first glance, that may not seem like much, but if you really think about it, its fucking amazing. We can know any and everything one may like to at any point in time, given a connection to the net. I was having a pretty long conversation with some friends last night about a sort of techno/informational induced neurosis that seems to be becoming more frequent if not actually emerging as a sort of social sickness. There is a kid that we know that just yesterday went to the hospital for going off the deep end a little. Before he left he had a very long conversation with my friend Mike. Mike and I began to discuss where the kid's head was at and how it came to be that he was in his current mental state. We figured that it was a combination of things, but that one of the more readily focused ideas that made this possible was the level of connection to the world, and its instantaneous nature, that he had through his computer. He got a bit lost in a lot of the philosophy he had been reading, but there was much more that had obviously been affecting him. He was so ready to adhere to the thoughts of someone else, and to acknowledge the positions of so many different people other than himself. His knowledge of actions happening on a global scale caused him to dissociate from the locality of himself. Every moment became encapsulated in this constant global view. I mean shit, I read google news probably at least four times a day. That shit is scary when you read it outright. Let the headlines sink in, and take them at face value. One of the more disheartening things we came to last night when discussing this kid was that it was a familiar feeling, and that it is a lot more accesable to anyone than just a regular psychosis might. Hail to the new flesh right? The fact that this seeming pyschosis of his is predicated upon an awareness of the world and its happenings is a little fucked up. What happens when this shit starts popping up regularly with some random teenager who happens to stay up reading too much online... Ill get some more stuff out in a couple days for you Mod X. Good conversation so far.

    Tom Delay?

    I lived in Tom Delay's district for quite a while. It is amazing to finally see him get screwed. I'll even admit, Kabar, that people like Delay are merely playing politics, but it doesn't change the moral impetus of the situation. I'm not saying that both sides don't play illegally, but it is still wrong. People act like Delay is the devil incarnate because, of recent history, he has continually fucked over our political system and his voting constiuents for his and others personal gain. I am just glad to see that he is finally being seen and shown as the douchebag he is. Also, in regards to the gerrymandering issue. It was not just that he was gerrymandering the lines for another repub congressional seat, but the way he did it. He tried to have most of the democratic representitives within the state arrested. He also did it by subverting funds and security resources from the Department of Homeland Security. What the fuck does the DOH have to do with redrawing disctrict lines? It is the level and amount of illegal activity that he conducted in front of the public eye that is so reprehensible. You talk about people bitching and moaning when conservatives do this or that, but that is whats needed to give us even some semblance of political efficacy within our society. I usually don't have a problem with people playing the game, but I hate that motherfucker.
