The attack sent a shockwave through the country and the result Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1079070735890652832004-03-12T00:52:00.000-05:002004-03-12T00:55:21.793-05:00Website Changes

So many people have emailed me or asked me about what color sex bracelet signified what act. I have decided that since I have gotten such a reaction, I will post a list that will tell you their meaning. I do not condone the use of the bracelets for these purposes and frankly find the people that do practice these to be cool immature and in need of something better to Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1078978938958496652004-03-10T23:22:00.000-05:002004-03-10T23:42:56.030-05:00Cartoon

I rarely dream. At least most of the time I can't remember anything but people say everyone dreams so I must dream I guess. In you dreams you can fly, become famous, get chased by a psycho killer, or just go through normal every day events. Speaking from experience, dreams seem to be manifestations of your subconscious mind.

Music has the ability to bring out so many emotions to the surface of an enormous amount of people world wide. Some people will sway to the beat of a good song, some people will get up and dance their heart out until the sun comes up, some people sing along, and some people will sit quietly and listen intently.

I am sure everyone has heard of the big controversy about same sex marriages. Many people are against it, many people are for it, and I think even more people could care less about what the outcome of the argument is. I am in the couldn't care less faction. Most of the people that are against same sex marriage are against it for religious reasons and try to argue for their beliefs and Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1077080885591031502004-02-18T00:08:00.000-05:002004-03-02T10:15:05.293-05:00Busy with Robot

Yes it is true that Saddam has been captured alive outside his home town of Tikkrit. Apparently he has been living in a hole in the ground for a long time. This is a big day for the coalition in the area. Here is a link to a video that announces Saddam's capture.

There is a new fashion fad and is taking the country by storm and many of today's youth are wearing them. They aren't pants. They aren't shoes. They aren't a vest. They are little colored gel bracelets that were popular back in the 80's. I am sure you are asking yourself, "So what is the big deal? They are only bracelets."

About three years ago a guy popped up on the net claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2036 and made several posts on the subject. After reading a collection of his posts, I was very intrigued about this fellow and wanted to find out more about him. I did a web search on him and there were many people talking about him. Many of the people talking about him were on weblogs and Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1070856990374941382003-12-07T23:16:00.000-05:002003-12-07T23:17:31.200-05:00Holiday

Something has come to my attention about education. I was sitting in class yesterday listening to my professor go on and on about Virginia Woolf and came to realize something very important that most student don't seem to grasp when they are in the class room.

I have discovered the beauty of online radio. I can now listen to the radio in my dorm where previously, I was unable to listen because radio waves seem to have a problem coming in due to the mountain. I can get radio stations from all over the world and from many different genres. The best part is that it is completely free!

I really wonder what it is with people and doing things quickly. Apparently it is better to do things quickly then taking your time and doing things right. Many people look up to someone who can get something done quickly but the person who does things right every time goes unnoticed. That makes little sense to me. Shouldn't the person that gets it right every time get more respect?

I have been selected for a important position within the UN. I have been selected to be a judge of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Well, not the real ECHR but close enough. I have ended up joining model UN by accident. It kind of fell in my lap in 2 days but I don't mind at all. I am actually a little excited about what's to come.

I have heard a very interesting argument in and out of class recently. The basis of the argument is that every human starts off with the same abilities and everyone can reach the same potential. Now this all sounds great but I don't really buy it. There are several examples that lead me to believe exactly the opposite is true. Look at autistic and prodigies for example. They definitely doMusehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1067349415907115172003-10-28T08:56:00.000-05:002003-10-28T08:57:19.513-05:00Decisions
Whenever you are faced with a decision you have decide which would be the best decision to make in order to have the best effects. It just depends on the person on what is the criteria for the best decision. Some people choose the one that best suits themselves, some people choose the decision that best suits other people, and some people choose the decision that best fits themselves Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1067281657047649062003-10-27T14:07:00.000-05:002003-10-27T14:07:42.733-05:00Rain
I have always wondered why people consider a bad day to be a rainy day. Why does rain get such a bad rap? I have always associated rain with a clean slate. The sidewalk can be covered in chalk but rain will come and you are left with clean sidewalk. Rain also means growth. Look out at a barren wasteland before a rain. You will see that afterwards that seeds germinate, trees will bud, and Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1067274724622472982003-10-27T12:12:00.000-05:002003-10-27T12:14:29.576-05:00The Axe Effect?
Yesterday evening I was out on a mission with two friends to get some ice cream and I was at the grocery store. I had my payload of Ben and Jerry's and was about to go to the checkout isle when my two friends being the girlie shoppers they are go to look at all the deodorant hat was for sale buy-one-get-one-free.

Everyone knows about global warming. Supposedly we are spewing gasses into the atmosphere and they are acting as a greenhouse and warming up the Earth. OK thats sounds great in theory but I need you to explain something to me. It is October 23 and it has been snowing outside off and on for two days straight. It is also very cold outside!

The entry into my brief investigation into the unknown will deal with crop circles. Crop circles have captured the imagination on a smaller scale over the course century, but has grown rapidly with Hollywood's dramatization in movies such as Signs. Some people believe they are hoaxes, some believe they are acts of god, some believe they are created by extraterrestrial beings, and Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1066664036189357142003-10-20T11:33:00.000-04:002003-10-20T11:33:56.036-04:00Politics
I don't know if it because I have grown older and I have just taken more notice about the politics flying around or if there is an influx of people becomming more interested in politics. Today everyone is a politician and they will definately let known what their stances are. Something that I have noticed is that young people's views aren't as weighted as someone who has a little age Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1065194866617639912003-10-03T11:27:00.000-04:002003-10-03T11:27:46.520-04:00Off I go!

Been studying for my Calculus exam on and off all day. I find it hard to believe that Isaac Newton came up with Calculus in a week. Right now I am wishing I could learn Calculus in a week... Anyway, I better get back to studying. I'm not looking forward to this exam at all and this is the first time in my life that I actually can say I do not understand.

I stumbled across a new record label with a revolutionary idea. Play it before you buy it. Their setup is made so that listeners can listen to whole albums before they pay for them. For only $5 the listener can buy the album they just listened to. It is a very nice price compared to the current price of an album established by the RIAA. Another thing that gives them much praise in my Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1064800883615052082003-09-28T22:01:00.000-04:002003-09-28T22:01:23.786-04:00Added A New Feature
Was surfing different blogs and found a neat thing to put up on my site. Its called tag-board and you can use it to leave me a messge when you stop by. It is just another way to leave a general gomment or just say hello.

I find it interesting how so much ephasis is put into education, work, and becomming a functional member of society, yet there is little emphasis put into living a happy life.

I can't help but wonder about things that are considered paranormal activities. Are they just colorful stories from the imagination or is there some scientific explination that can explain them. I aslo have to wonder if the true explination for such things are actually things that wouldn't be so scientific. Will someone ever prove that spirits or other mystical forces that Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1064235020845338752003-09-22T08:50:00.000-04:002003-09-22T08:50:20.306-04:00Are relationships worth it?
Before getting into a relationship it would be for the best if you stopped and asked youself if it is worth it. You need to look at the potential gains from having a relationship with that person, but you need to look at the loss. You also need to ask yourself about how far you are willing to go to try and make it work. There is alot to think about and most people Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-1063774840234667752003-09-17T01:00:00.000-04:002003-09-17T01:00:40.400-04:00Communism
I have been reading some of Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto and I can help but wonder about such a system of government that I know so little about. When growing up, children are taught that communism is bad, yet that’s as far as it goes in most cases. Most people don't know exactly what communism is besides the negative appeal being thrown out by the US educational system.

Yes I know I have been gone for a long time, but I am back and ready to do some serious blogging. I had an awesome summer vacation that was quite eventfull, but now I am back at school and cracking the books.

What if someone only talked in questions? What would people think? Would people get annoying with you? Would people get mad at you? Is it possible to convey properly what you are thinking about only in question? Why would anyone want to only talk in question? Can someone handle questions all day long? Why not try it for one day? Wouldn't you like to see some people look at you funny?Musehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-940314572003-05-08T23:55:00.000-04:002003-05-08T23:55:28.910-04:00Expectations
If you pick up your pen and drop it, what do you expect to happen? You expect it to fall down of course. What if one day it fell up? Would you then question the very nature of gravity? Would you then start to question everything that you used to believe before this marvalous event happened? That makes me wonder. Why does it take a marvalous event to start people questioning the veryMusehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06542648926229552845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5057283.post-940311062003-05-08T23:47:00.000-04:002003-05-08T23:48:06.000-04:00Left or Right
Ok here is an interesting observation:
You are walking down the sidewalk and you notice you are walking right at them. You continue walking straight and you notice you are on a collision course, but yet you press on. You hope that they will turn off and walk somewhere else, but they don't and now you are about ten feet from them. You essentially have three choices.

If I said I caught a 27 pond cow this week, would you be able to guess what it is? No it isn't a whale, shark, or wooly mamoth (I knew I read you mind). When I refer to a pond cow, I am refering to the common snapping turtle. It was a tough capture and very dangerous. I snuck around the edge of the pond with my urban camo and used my night vision goggles patiently seeking my target.

What is it about superstition that attracts the attention to a lot of people? Do they really believe that if you walk under a latter, you will get bad luck? Do they really believe that if a black cat crosses your path, you will also get bad luck? You can't forget about the mirrors. Break a mirror and get seven years bad luck.

We have all felt it. It doesn't come while we are on vacation or even before vacation. We feel the blues on the last day of vacation before we get back to our normal routine. For some people it isn't even a dread of going back to what they normally do. They just crave the joy they feel when they sit back and relax while their cares float away on the breeze.
