I have seen an "elderly pedestrian" sign in real life, but my friend the internet let me down. the sign had a lady with a walker and a guy with a cane, it was funny.

Darn

well last night i thought of a great idea for a post. it was going to be a fun one, but i forgot what it was. So i will tell a stoy that i was going to include with that post. So the other day we were driving along 109th and it was sorta rushy [rabbit trail: recently i heard someone say , why is it rush hour if no traffic is moving?]. so there we were in the right lane and it is moving slowly, we are like 'interesting'. So the car infront of us pulls into the left lane and there we see the problem, a person walking in the lane with a walker. now she was not walking in the middle of the lane, it was on the side, but still, she was holding up traffic. the sidewalks were a little snowy but pretty clear so im not really sure what she was thinking. but i guess she was making good time for someone with a walker. ya so for all you people walking out there, please walk on the sidewalk if you can, otherwise its annoying and people get mad at you,

PS new idea, its called bolding certain text so that if you dont want to read the entire post (this post isnt very long but many are) you can just read the bolded text and get the jist of the post. enjoy

Simple but good

Movie stuff

I think im going to take up writing movies. Last night as i was falling or partially fell asleep, i had an idea for a movie. Ok, now remember this was thought of at like 130 amish while I was falling asleep, but i think it could be good. Ok, the major thing about about this movie, is that it is set well into the future. During this time, it is almost like medival times, there are the common people, with the almost useless high school education, and the higher up people with good jobs and all the intelligence. So our story is prob about 3 people. I think it would be better to keep smaller name people, or else i would have every actor i even sort of like in this movie. Ok 2 of the 3 characters, Janeane Garofalo and Diedrich Bader. you are propably thinking who? but JG was in Mystery Men and she was great, and she was also the Medival Times waitress in Cable Guy. DB, he was in The Drew Carey Show and in the new Center of the Universe with John Goodman. But i like both the actors and i think they would be cool in a movie. but i havnt really thouhgt much about the third person. One on my mind is Seth Meyers. But anyway back to the plot. So these two or three are commoners and live a "simple life". But they seek to become higher class. It is there goal. But due to the times, the only way to get higher class is to be given the honor. this can be done by winning a contest, or by doing something of merit, ect. so how do they become higher class? Brain Transplant. Once you impress the brain-granting council (or win a contest or raffle or something), then you are granted the brain and the right to become smarter and higher class. The ending im also not so sure about. I could throw in someone dieing so the other person could get the brain, or someone giving the brain to someone they are in love with. or, one or two of them could get the brains and leave the 3rd person would be left behind, a sad moment. Or another possibility, one or all of them could be granted the brain, and they turn them down because during the movie they realize they like the simple life (no reference to Paris Hilton) and so decide stay with what they have. ya, i might make it one of those movies that ive kinda wanted to make. you know how some movies now have alternate endings? well with the DVD technology now, why not make a movie that has many endings, and it randomly plays them each time you watch the movie. so you accually dont know how it is doing to end. i think it would be cool. I also havnt thoguht about the brain conncil, or weither or not there will be "evil villians" or other simple "rivals". (someone Seth Greenish). but i definitly think Rowan Atkinson will make a cameo, and maybe Colin Mochrie will have a role in it, he is cool. well thats about ill i have on that movie right now, but
No lie, the other day, like withing the week, i was thinking They havnt made a Charlott's Web movie for a while or I wonder if they will make another Charlott's Web movie sometime or something along that line. well while browsing today, i discovered this. thats right a Charlotte's Web coming out in '06. not only that, you know who's in it? Darkota Fanning (she isnt in a creepy movie) Andre 3000 (heeeeeey yaaaaaa) Kathy Bates (You should have bought a squirrel) Steve Buscemi (I wasn't talking to you Deeds. I was talking to that squirrel) Cedric the Entertainer (insert comment here) John Cleese (I fart in your general direction) Julia Roberts (again nothing) Oprah Winfrey (makin more than ever). i think that is some crazy cast. well anyway i think ive written too much, and it isnt even late at night weird. anyway, happy movie watching,
Ian

Gone at 79 (Jan 23rd, 2005)

Its a sad state

Im sure you all dont care, but i need to get it out there and let everyone know. I have a problem with solitaire. I seem to be playing it alot recently. Its bad. and to make it funner i use the vegas scoring system so it is more challengin to win and your score accumulates (or decumulates) but mostly i play it at night, or when im waiting for something. It is good because its not like a big game (WarcraftM, Rebellion, etc.) that takes time to load and save and exit. It is just a good thing. The weird thing is that ive never really been a solitaire person. Sure i would play occationally it but i like Free Cell better (currently 18-9 with best streaks of win: 8 lose: 3). It is more challenging and a thinker but you kind of have to be in the mood. and if you leave it you automatically lose. and minsweeper, once you beat the first level in like 10 seconds there is little point trying any more. and intermediate is long and hard and annoying. and i dont think ive ever beat expert. maybe some day. but you really want to how sad my life is? Often when i close my eyes, I SEE SOLITAIRE. i know i think i need help. It not accually clear, but i can kind of see colours and i sorta think they range form about 4 to 9 usually. sometimes less. and they are mostly on the right side of the 'screen'. wow. i really need help. i think tonight is going to be a free cell night, unless i start talking to people on mess.

Forget the virus, worry about the dust

Well i had a near frightening moment today. SO i was carrying my computer into the living room to print my assignment out so i could work on it, and while carrying it im like man its dusty. so istart blowing where the fans are and some dust comes out so im thinking im doinging good. then i bow on a slot on the side, and then i notice that one of my fans stopped. i look closer and there is a huge ball of dust now stuck in the fan stopping it from moving, not good. [note: my laptop gets hot enough right now will all the fans working so losing one is not good, and i just thought of another funny laptop story] so i turn off my computer (so if i dislodge the dust, the fan wont start with whatever i was using to dislodge still in the fan) and grab a pin. the pin is working ok to get the dust out but its not working really well or fast, so I grab a little screw driver. this sorta works, but then the dust starts running away [note: by runing i mean i was kinda pushing it away rather than pulling it out of the computer]. so after not too long, i can no longer see the dust ball thing so i think to myself self, if you can see the fan, and you cant see the dust ball, then it would make sence that the dust ball is no longer in the way of the fan (we do learn something in engineering). so i fire up the computer, nothing. crap. so i talk to my computer expert aka best friend on messanger and ask him what i should do. his suggestion (i always start that word (suggestion) sudje- and then i cant figure out what comes after that, then i (sometimes) remember the 'correct' of spelling it), a can of air. now, i may have been born in the night, but i wasnt born last night. im not falling for buying a "can of air". i say that and turns out that the air is compressed (you get tons of bonus air, but you use it up faster), but before you all laugh at my stupidity, i did accually know that. but i thouhgt it was funny cuz my computer 'nery' friend suggested (got it quicker that time) a can of air, my thought, air compressor. thats what a farm does to you. why buy air what you can get it free and compress it with a little electricity and noise? so anyway i decide to go so my comp doesnt get too hot. so i do and later i turn it back on, this time it makes noises like the fan is trying to start then no noise, repeat a couple times. than nothing. no moving, no cooling air, crap. so i d ostuff whatever, then i turn it off to do some homework (i accually did) now i turned it on again. this time it made a bit of a noise then the fan started YAY!! so now my comp is working "good" again, but i got to scrub it cuz now im starting to get virus warnings again, crap. well thats my story and the moral?
Moral let a professional dust your computer.
ok now for the funny story, so my old high school (private) was having a visit inspection thing from the BC school thing. this was a bit of a big deal and stuff. so the lady is sitting in one of the classrooms with her laptop on her lap typing stuff or whatever. so this one student, who is known for interesting things such as getting a finger stuck in a hole, ha ha, came up to her and said something like "you should be careful where you put that laptop, if you have it on your lap it can make you sterile" [note: you may not want to know this but
'Could using a laptop make you sterile?

BUSINESSMEN and teenage boys could be risking their fertility by using laptop computers, research suggests.

The combination of heat generated by the computers and the posture needed to balance the equipment on the lap leads to raised temperatures around the scrotum, a study has found. Past research shows that higher scrotal temperatures can damage sperm and affect fertility. And the introduction of new technology such as Bluetooth and infrared connections - which provide wireless links to the internet - has resulted in a growing number of men using the machines on their thighs rather than at a desk.'. that is sorta good to know, but im really not sure it works the same on women, but who knows]. so after this comment the teacher is just horrified. i think it woulda been great to be there and see the awkward silence following. would been great. but apparently the lady didnt freak or anything so it all turned out good. i think its a pretty good story and thanks to my sources for getting me that. that would be all for now, happy computing and parenting,

VIRUSY THING

WARNING to all you MSN Messanger users out there. there is a bad thing going around. It is a file (a .pif file) that if you except and run, will from what i can tell, close all you conversations, and not allow you to open those conversations again. it will also disable your right (or left for you backwards people) mouse button. but the most annoying thing is that it offers to all the people who are online at the time. im not sure if it does anything else, and norton doesnt seem to recognize it so im not exactly sure what it is. but it is a .pif file (like I said) and it is a "shortcut to MS-DOS program" so its got the MS-DOS logo thing (see above). it has at least 2 names, drunk_lol and webcam_004. BAD. DO NOT EXCEPT. and sorry to you if i sent it to you and you accepted and made your computer funny. oops.

Apparently the real one (link)

You are all wrong.

Ok title a little Harsch, oops i mean harsh. anyway, todays lesson? im setting straight a small thing that everyone seems to get wrong (or at least say the easy way). Noah's Ark. now most (or some of you) are thinking, i know the story. he built the Ark, put 2 of each animal on it, floated around for a while, then landed and lived happily ever after. I just thought i would clarify or show you interesting things about it. It dimentions "450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Gen. 6:15" (all passages taken from Bible Gateway) One of the main things i wanted to say about the Ark is that it is not entirely true that there were 2 of each animal. well there were 2 of each animal but some had more than 2. 14 to be exact. "19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you. 20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive. 21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them. (Gen 6)" so you are all thinking, ya see 2 of every animal. but then later it says "2 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. (Gen 7)" So there were accually 14 of every clean animal. this was good thinking on Gods part for later, " 20 Then Noah built an altar to the LORD and, taking some of all the clean animals and clean birds, he sacrificed burnt offerings on it. (Gen 8)" see this would have been a really bad idea to sacrifice animals if there were only 2 of them. Good planning God.
Now the whole timing of the flooding and staying in the Ark and stuff.[note: this is my interpretation, im not 100% sure on all the times and stuff.]
1) "11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month-on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened. 12 And rain fell on the earth forty days and forty nights. (Gen 7)" So forty days of rain.
2) "24 The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days. (Gen 7)" i beleive this includes the forty days of rain. so they are sitting at 150 days and they have just reached the peak of the flood.
3)"3 The water receded steadily from the earth. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the water had gone down, 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. (Gen 8). ok so the 150 days wasnt the peak, it was the accual time earth was flooded. so five months, assuming 30 days, 150 days. ok works out. [note: ive never heard of a thing called editing. i think of it, i type it, its wrong, i just say so, i dont change it]. so half a year in an Ark with 2 (or 14) of each animal. now they have landed, finally they get to get out right? wrong.
4) Gen 8 "6 After forty days Noah opened the window he had made in the ark" (190 days) "10 He waited seven more days and again sent out the dove from the ark." (197 days) "12 He waited seven more days and sent the dove out again, but this time it did not return to him." (204 days) "13 By the first day of the first month of Noah's six hundred and first year, the water had dried up from the earth. Noah then removed the covering from the ark and saw that the surface of the ground was dry. 14 By the twenty-seventh day of the second month the earth was completely dry. 15 Then God said to Noah, 16 "Come out of the ark, you and your wife and your sons and their wives." ok 17th day of 2nd month to 17th of first (assuming 12), 330 days, to 27th day, 340 days (ish). 340 DAYS!!! WOW. thats a long time. what is also amazing, having (and maybe givein) food to all those animals for 340 days. that woulda been crazy. anyway, there is my post to set things straight.

slowin' it down a little

Usually you all expect out there and funny (i think so anyway) post, but this is going to be a bit more Justin-esk. thats right, im going with a more serious post. one of my teachers from last year (and was going to be this semester) suffered a minor heart attack during the holidays. I just want to say that i hope he gets well soon. and also thank the teacher who, even thought he retired last year, came back to teach this semester because of the HA.

What's he smiling about?

Hot Lead

Wow ive got hot lead for a post. and to utilize this lead would really make sence so here it is. warning, this post may not be for the weak of stomach. So there is a man in Cleveland that sueing NBC. ok, that happens, but it gets more interesting. he is sueing them for "causing suffering, injury and great pain." still not post worthy, what caused this "suffering, injury and great pain."? It was a tv show on NBC. the show, Fear Factor. now im sure your thinking that Austin Aitken (different last name from clay) was a contestant and they screwed up a stunt or something just as terrible, that would make sence. but no, this "suffering, injury and great pain." was inflicted upon Mr. Aitken while he was sitting in the comfort of his living room, WATCHING a FF episode. which episode? 509, the one containing the second stunt of RAT STEW. that would be blended up rats. no really.
THE FEAR FACTOR FILE
STUNT: RAT STEW
LOCATION: TIMES SQUARE: NEW YORK CITY
DESCRIPTION: Contestants must eat a bowl of blended rats. The one who takes the longest to finish their food is eliminated.
So AA filed his 4 page lawsuit suing NBC for 2.5 million dollars. thats right 2.5 mill. "the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded — and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, 'causing suffering, injury and great pain.' " | Apparently another person in the house threw up as well. " Asked why he didn't shut off his television before the rat-eating segment, Aitken said he couldn't do it quick enough." | so you're probably thinking this guy has like no hope of winning this, well probably. NBC's comment, "We believe that the claim is completely without merit." "Aitken, a 49-year-old part-time paralegal, said he wants to send a message to NBC and other networks with the lawsuit. He said he isn't concerned with winning a cash judgment in court." | AA's words, "I just put any figure. You really think I expect to get $2.5 million?"

Whose up for some clubbin?

OT BABY!!!

I am (was, the original post i was drafting got erased)on such a high! no its not from lack of sleep or any other drug, its football fever. Today i watched 2 increadibly exciting ending games. Its playoff time in the NFL and today was day one of the 2 day wildcard matchups. But wouldnt you think that like the last place team should play for the wildcard? i mean the 5th or whatever team really isnt a wildcard, they are pretty good. a wildcard would be a team near the bottom of the pile. but anyway,
Game 1: St Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks. I only say the first little bit and then the end of the game, but wow the end was entertaining. seattle was down by some amount (while i was gone) and had come back to tie it at 20. then the rams had a drive and scored, 27-20 rams. seattle gets it down to just about the rams 10, 1st and 10 (about a foot short of 1st and goal). I cant remember exactly what happened, but they end up at about the same spot on 4th down, and they need a major and the point after to send it to OT. theres the snap, hasselbeck has it, scrambles a bit, looks like he might run, THROWS A LOW ONE TO A RECEIVER, THE RECEIVER LOOKS LIKE HE HAS IT, but then THE BALL COMES LOOSE, INCOMPLETE PASS!!! RAMS WIN!!! ( i personally was kinda cheering for the rams (sorry sis) but i woulda been happy with the seahawks as well. really i wanted them to score cuz OT is sweet, well actually CFL OT is sweet, im not sure about the NFL one. CFL OT the teams take turns taking the ball on like the 40 and if the first team scores (or doesnt) the other team gets a chance to meet or beat the other team. if they dont, game over team on wins. if they meet, they do it again. if they beat team 2 wins. Its good because then you are always trying for the TD rather than settling for a FG. The NFL is like restarting the game (without the challange flag, the coolest thing ever) and the first team to score wins. this means that a FG will win it, the other team doenst have a chance to match it.)
Game 2: New York Jets at San Diego Chargers. My pick: chargers (i think they have one of the worst logos in the NFL though. It looks really cool on their helmots and jerseys, but on like hats or coats it looks kinda funny.) Chargers strike first with a really nice catch. jets take the lead and it ends up going into the 4th quarter with NY up by 10. chargers start with a great drive and get down the field but have to settle for a field goal. 7 point lead for jets. both teams have some chances, nothing really close and the chargers are running out of time. then SD gets a good drive going. they end up with 3rd and goal from the 1. they run and lose a yard or so. 4th and goal from the 2 or 3 with 30 seconds left. they need a touchdown (and the point after) to end it to OT. the snap, Brees backs up, hes gonna pass, Dodges a tackle, ANOTHER GUY IS COMING, GETS THE PASS OFF JUST AS HE IS BEING TACKELED, ITS A LOB INTO THE ENDZONE, ITS UP FOR GRAPS, KNOCKED DOWN BY THE DEFENCE, ITS KNOCKED DOWN!! GAME OVER, JETS W...but wait, A FLAG A FLAG IS DOWN, CHARGERS HAVE A CHANCE the ref walks over to, ah, the talking area, a hush falls over the crowd, the ref turns his mic on, "Personal foul, rushing the passer (crowd goes wild), defence number 50, personal foul, blow to the head, defence number fifty, automatic first down" (mic off) It is now 1st and goal from the 1 with 30 seconds. first play, TD pass to Gates. Kaeding comes out and kicks the extra point, its OVERTIME BABY!!!
First comes the coin toss, visitor calls it, call heads. coin is flipped, tails (crowd goes wild), chargers choose to receive (duh), and overtime is underway. Chargers get a good drive going but get stuck on 2nd and 3rd and 1. 4th down around midfield and out comes the punting squad. jets get it and have a decent drive but are stopped by chrager defence. punt goes into the endzone, chargers start on the 20. they get a great drive going and get into field goal range, then get another first down. then the plays that make me not like NFL OT as much, 3 running plays in which the runner gets a total of like 3 yards overall. 4th down and a 40 yard FG attempt. Jets call a timeout to psyc out the kicker. ball is snapped, kick is up, looks bad, bad, bad, WIDE RIGHT!!! the game continues. jets get a drive going themselves. get into field goal range and then some. they end up on about the 10 yard line. out comes the kicker (on the 3rd down, a good thing according to madden). ball is snapped, kick is up, looks good, looks . . . A WHISTLE, theres a whistle, the ball goes throught the uprights but a whistle first. chargers coach called a time out at the last second. they try it all again, snap, kick, looks good, good, good, ITS GOOD!!! THE KICK WAS PERFECT!!! JETS WIN!!! (and the crowd goes silent). what an ending. the terrible penalty at the end of regulation does not come back to bite Barton in the butt. and the great day of football comes to a close.
WOW, I LOVE PLAYOFF SPORTS. those were 2 intense crazy games coming down to the wire. I cant wait til tomorrow and 2 more games :).

What doesn't say breakfast like Coke and Hearty Vegetable soup?

Back in e-ville. A day later than originally planed but im back. Back with high speed non-dial up internet and very little responsibility so i can be on the internet alot posting to my, and hopefully your, hearts content. So todays topic, good question, i beleive i am going to tell a story from a couple months ago that i found ironic, i may have accually posted this story (i was going to but i think i never got around to it but then again i might have), but i figure that if doug can just copy and paste a psot then why cant I at least tell a story more than once. and im going to elaborate on the story as well.
The story starts out at a neighbourhood Tim Hortons, there, along with my team, I enjoy a soup and sandwich combo for a meal. the soup im eating, hearty vegetable. I know i know, it sounds gross (not large, discusting) and healthy but i enjoyed it and would get it whenever i went to TH. so after a while whenever i went to TH they would never have it. This went of for a good year before i finally saw it. (rabbit trail 1: also a while ago TH went from the fountain pop to the bottled and canned pop. this has advantages and disadvantages but overall i thought it was a bad thing at the time). So im at this TH and there i see the soup, im like finnally, but the annoying part, i had just had a bunch of cake and stuff and did not feel at all like eating soup. so im like arrrrg. but i was really craving a can of coke, yes a can, cans and fountain pop are very different. so i go and order the can of coke and to my suprise and dismay, they only have fountain pop. So when i want soup, they dont have my flavour, when i dont, they do. When i want fountain pop, they have cans and bottles, when i want a can or a bottle, they have fountain pop. AAAARRRRRRGGGG!
So what does this dismal story have to do with now? well on the way back from DC, the drive stoped at TH for coffee. So i go in wanting a bottle of coke (it was like 830 in the morning and i had got up at 6 after going to bed at like 130. So i go in and low and behold, hearty vegetable soup. i think to myself, self, you didnt really finish breakfast and you might get hungary so y not get some of the holy grail-esk soup. So that is what i did, and i checked to see and they had bottles of coke so i was really happy. The only downside is that the hearty vegetable soup wasnt near as good as i remember, so now i have to find it again and see if its any better.
So that is my story of the day, and id like to point out that there are few things in life as exciting and pleasing as the first sip of strong coke (or pepsi for you pepsi people, i dont discriminate, they both have a time and a place) in the morning. mmmmmmmmm.

PS I also wanted to say that yesterday, the 6th, was Rowan Atkinson's 50th birthday. also today is Nicolas Cage's 41st. happy birthday.

Stuff about stuff

Ashlee Simpson. so she was performing at the Orange Bowl, and the crowd booed her. ha ha. but she is really wishing she didnt go on/lip sync on SNL. And also when the crowd started booing, the cameras cut away from her face. im thinking celebrities and football games and tv really arnt getting along very well.
"Reality" tv (in a previous post, the new years eve one, i forgot the " " on "reality" tv, I appologise now). Thought of another good idea for a show, "ride to the end". A show in which people remain on a greyhound bus for an extremely long time jsut drivng around everywhere. Im not sure how people should be eliminated, voting off by someone makes sence but it could be better if they stay on until they get sick of it and voluntarily get off. and also a new show i heard about, rockstar. I believe the band In Essence or something like that is looking for a new lead singer, so they are basically doing an american idol thing. Mark Burnett is behind this new show i beleive as well.
I feel like i should say something about commercials or advertising because i talked about "reality" tv, but i dont really have the time. so post for ya soon,

Sleeping pills or no sleep is a pill?

Shleep

I was trying to think of a cooler title but 'Is sleep overrated' or 'is sleep a delicacy?' really didnt work. and due to lack of sleep that was all i could come up with. then i changed the plain 'sleep' title to 'shleep'. making my 's's 'sh's is something ive started doing. I think it is cuz Sean Connery is so cool. who doeshnt like a voishe like that? I think my dream self from a voice perspective would be the speaking voice of Sean Connery, and the singing voice of Everlast. "I'm broken like a record, im shattered like a dream, . . ." that would be cool. My sister thinks it would be better if i had George Clooney's voice. that wouldnt be too bad.
but back to my topic of sleep. sleep. the one thing we (im generalizing about what i do) avoid at night and crave in the morning and early to late afternoon. So why is it that we dont want to go to bed? The clock is set around the cycle of light and dark we call days, and are bodies also follow the same pattern (who hasnt been tired at night and sometimes cant sleep in past like 9?). So agian, why do we not go to sleep? It is almost like we want to get as little as possible. We will spend hours at night building bridges, washing dishes, playing addicting internet games. So why do we do it? here is one suggestion, lack of sleep is almost like a drug. im sure you are all going, 'whoa, you are way off brother' (or at least pretend) but i think im kind of close. Lack of sleep puts you in a different state of mind. who have scene the movies Kung Pow:Enter the Fist or Mystery Science theater 3000: The Movie or Monty Python and the Holy Grail? now when would these movies be funnier, 8 in the moringin, noon or 1ish, or at like 11 oclock + at night? thats right, they would be funniest late at night/early in the morning(before like 7 and after no sleep). Also picture this, taking photos of people and erasing their facial details (like the mouth closing thing in the matrix) then coloring over their face with yellow and giving them facial expressions in black of the msn messenger emoticons. sound fun? not really. but try it at like 1 or 2 in the morning and it is HIlARIOUS. But like any drug, if you take to much of it, you get really messed up. like stumpling around, falling asleep, or the semi-sleep state in which your brain tries to tie real and unreal (eg. computer games) things together and it seems logical to you until to fully wake up. oh, is that just me? oops. and also like a drug, in the morning (or afternoon or early evening) when you wake up, you dont feel so good. kinda tired and dont want to do anything, like go to work or math class (darn you calc 3 /me shakes fist). so that one explination. im not sure if it is addicting like a drug but it can be, the other day i was going to bed at like 10 pm. im like its only 10, i wanted to stay up later. so there is my theory, take it or leave it. ignor it or comment about it. let it change your life or forget it. and while ive been writing this ive made myself stay up later and i still need to pack some stuff so i can leave tomorrow, if i am (darn you chance of freezing rain /me shakes fist). But i will leave you with a great story of my late night escapades. This is the funniest one that I know for a fact happened and also that i wish to share with anyone who stumbles accross this site. So i wake up early early morning (like 3 or 4 or 5) and im like (in my semi-conscious state, not to be confused with semi-sleep state) Where's my pillow. I search (i just spelt 'search' 'surch', i think its a side effect) high and low (as high and as low as people do when its like 3 or 4 or 5 and the person is semi-conscious) and suprisingly enough i dont find it. So in the morning i think about it and look for the pillow. Im not sure if i found it right away or weither i stumbled accross it later, but i found it, hangin from a hanger on my cloths rack. that is right, i hung up my pillow on a hanger. And once i found it i do kinda remember doing it during the night but only kinda. So funny. That is my favorite sleep walking/talking/yelling story.

But where are those good ol'-fashion values
On which we use to rely"

New Year, New Sidebar things

In case you hant noticed, i added a celebrity of the week into my side bar. this week, Janeane Garofalo. Why her? well once she was awesome in Mystery Men and in her small role in The Cable Guy. but there is another thing that is interesting and makes a good topic for a post. [I would also like to add that i hope this post doesnt push my rating over G or PG or whatever]. So turns out, In 1984, she had breast reduction surgery. The surgery reduced her measurement from a 36D cup to a B cup (imdb.com). why she did this, "I was a 36C or D, and at 5' 1", I knew that being a small person with big boobs standing in front of an audience was not going to be easy. It would be really hard to get people to pay attention to me without mocking me. Getting a breast reduction to prepare for my career was no different from people who work to get good grades to get into a good college to get into a good graduate school to get a good job. I went down to a B cup, and it was the best thing in the whole world." I respect her for this. In a world dominated by sex on tv and in movies and everywhere else, JG had breast reduction surgery because she wanted people to take her seriously. I think that is a great stand. well thats about all for now.
