Pretty much wanna crawl in a hole and hide...

Ahhhh guys...I'm so stupid. Ok, so I did something really embarassing. It was unintentional, but still probably in my top 10 list of most embarassing things I've done. You guys are probably thinking of something...no, not that. I'm not telling what it was, but after that, I went to the library to get a book and I kept dropping everything!! I dropped 3 books off the shelf, then my water, which spilled all over the floor. I went back to looking at books, dropped another one, then went to check it out, told the guy at the desk that I'm a klutz and dropped my star card. ("At least you didn't spill your water," he said.) Sarah would say...gaaaa...or something of the sort at this moment. He told me not to feel too bad, that he backed his car into a brick wall today.

Why I shouldn't Shave My Beard

Why I shouldn't shave my beard:

1. Cool people just think it is sweet.

2. It makes me look cute.

3. It is cold outside, so it would be good for the winter season outside while building houses. It would be a blanket for my face. Believe it or not, but after I shaved my goatie, it was a little bit colder.

Why I should shave my beard:

1. Girls know fashion.

2. Sarah said to.

3. I might have a better chance of getting a girlfriend.

180

What a great number, especially when you do one on M-21. Yes, I used the Buck Mobile to do a 180. Yup, I didn't mean to but I tried braking, but for some reason (I think it is because I have good brakes on one side and bad brakes on the other) I spun around by the ditch by my road, and I ended up facing the other way on the side of the road. It is funny because 3 cars drove right by me as I was spinning around. I didn't get stuck thankfully, or hit people. It happened as I was coming home from work at 5:30,

Acronyms now replace English words, people everywhere use them

Here is an article I found in the MSU newspaper (when I was eating supper in the cafeteria). It is writen by a John Gunnells. I found it very entertaining, and since I am not apt to click on links, I thought you mgiht not be either and would like it all here in front of you.

With gasoline prices soaring to all-time highs, serious influential writers might be apt to dissuade consumers from dependency on foreign oil. But, let's be honest, I'm hardly serious, let alone influential — therefore I would like to discuss a topic slightly more important to me.

American computer users are too dependent on the phrase "lol."

Now before you flip to the crossword page, just hear me out.

How many times have you been in a conversation with a friend, family member or death row inmate, only to be fed incoherent responses of "lol," "nvm" or "I've just been stabbed?"

First of all, when did "lol" become a socially acceptable response for 90 percent of all statements?

Second of all, if I say something like, "I'm watching the Miracle Blade infomercial for the umpteenth time," are you really laughing out loud? Because I am beginning to question your sincerity.

Think about all the people using instant messaging systems around the globe. Now think of how many times those people have typed "lol" when in actuality they aren't lol-ing at all.

Madness. Utter madness.

More recently, savvy Internet jargon-nauts have replaced typical "lol" (laughing out loud) acronyms for "rotflmao" (rolling on the floor laughing my arse off). But, frankly, I don't care if someone is rolling in oncoming traffic laughing, I don't want to be patronized by some plebeian, Third World acronym.

Besides, it's universally known that acronyms are only suitable in three situations.

Fraternities, drugs and, of course, sexually transmitted diseases. Technically speaking, since all three go hand in hand, we could count them as one.

Speaking of fraternities, is it legal for me to say that without my collar popped?

Moving on.

Having covered all bases with the overusage of "lol," we can go to the next culprit, otherwise known as "j/k," or just kidding.

The only real beef I have against the whole "j/k" abbreviation is that it just doesn't fly in everyday conversation.

Imagine if one of your buddies said, "Hey just slash kidding" — you would probably be inclined to knee him in his man region.

The next instant-messaging-related beef I have is related to those smiley faces.

Sure they're cute, but so are deer and people shoot them all the time.

The deer, like the smilies, are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The other day I saw something in an away message along the lines of "at a funeral, (frowny face)."

Where does someone get off combining the somber mood of a funeral with a yellow- animated-circle-face thing.

Seriously! If that is not the worst Internet etiquette in the history of ever, I don't know what is.

And to think, that poor person went through all of the trouble of dying only to be remembered by a frown-faced emoticon. Not cool.

Now that we've gone through describing proper Internet protocol, you may be asking yourself who is the typical lol'er.

Well that's simple. In fact, you might be a lol'er yourself and not even know it.

Your typical lol'er is a regular person just like you and me. He's the person who asks all the questions in your IAH recitation, making everyone else look bad. He's the sloppy alcoholic who roams Bogue Street slapping people and declaring that he is Rick James. He's the guy who threw up all over your toothbrush last weekend at your house party and neglected to tell you.

It's not just guys, it's girls too. Your typical female lol'er is that girl who dawdles down the sidewalk with her friend, taking up the whole sidewalk so you're late to your CJ 110 class. She's the girl who gets hammered night in and night out, but still has a better grade-point average than you — by a lot.

So, stop with the overuse of Internet abbreviations and inappropriate use of smiley faces. Because before it's too late, you may turn into that guy or that girl — and we don't want that.

And, while you're at it, cut up those plastic rings that hold pop cans together, too. Because someone told me fish get caught in them, and we don't want that either. That's about as unnecessary as this editorial.

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Ok, it is only snowing, but will be gone tomorrow, but whatever. The raining and snowing had me stay indoors while working, by putting up ceiling tile on the Baptist Church. Ok, since I am now talking about religion, my coworker gave me his Bible, the King James version. That's it folks.

Today, as I was leaving the OC after philosophy, there was a wiry man, probably about 65 years old, getting cappuchino from the machine. As a dwadled down the hall, I watched him try to decide what kind to get, then he pushed the buttom with a slight grin. Eagerly, he bent over and captured his precious cup of cappuchino from the machine. He looked so content, it just made my day. Sorry...random. Anybody else ever experience random blurts of happiness at common, everyday occurances? Tell me about them...

Des Moines Register

LCC stinks!! I got my letter today about the appeal and they said that I can't audit judo. That's rediculous. I'm going to have 4.0's in all my classes and then judo is going to bring it down. Ugh, idiots.

Hey Everybody,

It's been a while since I've seen you guys and it's about time that I posted again. Sorry it was not sooner, but I've been very busy.

First I'll start with school. After the hurricane most of my teachers decided not to reduce our reading, but just to reorder it. So basicly I have to catch up on all of the reading that I did not do when I was at home. So, I have a ton of reading to do. I also did not do as well as I was hoping on my midterms. On my history midterm I got a C+, Ouch! I still don't know how I did on my Latin midterm, but I'm sure I did not do too well. But, I did get a 98 on my math midterm, so I guess that it's not all bad.

Secondly, I'm the chief of set construction for the drama department's play this semester, The Mousetrap. On Saturday we built the frames for about half of the set. And, yesterday we covered the frames with cloth and put on a coat of primer. We still have a lot of work to do on the sets though and so I'll be quite busy with that in the comming week and a half.

Now I have to get to class, so I'll post more later today if I get time.

'Till Later,

John

I am bored...

and was late, as Rachael, Marnee, and Sarah saw. Where was Kenny?

I am sorry to say this but I wasn't late. My teacher arrived like 20 seconds before I got in the classroom, so she didn't mark me as absent on Angel in time. This is by far the closest I ever had to being late.

Now, I am in the computer lab, because I decided to not go to the second part of World Civs. I want to schedule for classes but I hear it actually takes a looooong time to actually get into it. So I missed class for no reason.

Central

Well since Jennifer is being a jerk and not talking to me online and because I had to listen to the most awful music at church today....we are not going to the awful church at central.
And another thing, I find it interesting that we made this blog so that all the people who live far away could keep in contact with the rest of us. Yeah I know you are busy...I guess...as you can tell I am bored right now...

Paris @ Night

Sarah, lets go to Paris!

Anyone else who wants to come can too I guess haha. Sarah probably hates the French too much to come as it is.

Classes

Well, when are we are going to talk about schedules for next semester? What days are we going to be going to LCC? I say Tuesday/Thursdays again. And let's try to have classes from 8 until 4, or not too much later than that.

It isn't cold out.

I guess I could live in Alaska since you guys think I am insane because I wear shorts when it is cold out. And the picture looks cool (pun not intended).

Beacon Hill

Ok, even though its in a city, i really wouldn't mind living in this neighborhood. This is where my brother lives so i've been there before. Its not too far from downtown, and food stores. Also, its within a few blocks of a Catholic church. Its a pretty quiet neighborhood. Being on beacon hill, my brother has an awesome view of downtown seattle at night.

WRIT121

I just decided that I'm skipping writing today. I haven't missed a class yet and the class stinks. It's always really boring and pointless and I have other things to do. I have to type up that stupid appeal to go before a committee, sociology extra credit that I didn't feel like doing yesterday and there was something else that I don't remember. Anyway, I think college has made me more lazy. I never feel like going to class. Ooo maybe I'll go to the car to get my camera so I can upload my picts and it won't take as long as at home. Sweet!

Toulouse, in the South of France

Any place that has a record store in a building like that is the place for me. I want to live in a place that is old and modern at the same time. It should have culture and still seem primitive. A beautiful city with beautiful land as a back drop. Toulouse. (like the midget)

Yeah, I could pretty much live here with the Grand Tetons outside my window. When my family went here, we camped in the church parking lot right next to the lake because there wasn't anywhere to camp inside the national park and it was nighttime. In the morning, we went down to the lake to get water to boil and use. Ahhh...I can almost feel the peacefulness.

The View from My Future Windows

Here are some pictures of places I want to live.
If you don't think misty lakes and waterfalls are your ideal backyard, post some pictures of what are. And be honest; it will be interesting to see what you are thinking of.

someone should post something new.....
