The Onion

They should at least try to make the second picture look realistic.

howdy...

So I had to do this report on spanking...Sweden banned it in 1979..weird...yet 26% of parents in that country still practice it, or at least that was the number that admitted to it. The article we had to read annoyed me because it was trying to argue that because Sweden is "progressive" in matters such as marriage, sex, and taxation...they must be right about spanking too. I mean clearly any belief that is progressive is right. Anything old and non-progressive smacks of the primative and is automatically wrong. duh...idiots...
Well anyways, I really don't get why I can write a 3 or 4 page paper for this class in less than an hour...and yet I still have to spend hours writing english papers of the same length...it makes no sense.

Life-a roadtrip without directions

Alright, it's about time I did a couple of things: let everybody know whats up. Some would say I need to settle down and see a psycologist, but, we'll see... Anyway, here's whats up, right now, today, untill the plan changes, someone gets shot, something gets blown up (literaly or figuritively), or I get arrested (I don't know why it would happen, but hey, this is life). Right now I am in Saline, MI (my home town) at the library. I'm sleeping at my parents and eating real food (those of you who have been kept up-to-date know that this is unusual). Tomorrow I plan on driving back to Kalamazoo in the afternoon/evening and moving in with the notorious Computer Tom so that I may continuae the search for employment come monday. It's beginging to look like the trip to Tenesee with never come to be, at least not right now, although I'm now the proud owner of 56,000 frequent flier miles which may just become the spring board for the greatest spring break trip ever.
My stories are many, long, dramatic, and funny. If you guys want me to (if you wish to listen) I could start a blog and recount them to you. Things such as the motel from hell, the nights in the car, my first kiss, dodging the parking police, trying to learn to skateboard, getting lost in indiana, talking philosophy in Cincinatti, living down by the river, the perils of a camp stove, the drama of being afraid of emotion, or the strugle of objectivity in an all to subjective world.
If you guys want to hear 'em pipe up. I have this hunch you will, but may it be the people's choice!

New Addition to Our World...

As you may have noticed, we have another member of our blogger community now. John Novak has proven himself to be a worthy member of our group over the past few months so he has now been initiated into our exclusive blogging thought exchange....yeah...well I'm not very good at speeches, so anyway, John is now on this blog, and he can be called John because the previous John (my brother) is now dubbed Paco by his affectionate seminarian buddies. And because Paco will not be contributing to this blog for the next few months due to the strict policies of the seminary...or something like that. So I am sure John will post any time now to complete his addition to our ensemble (I think that is supposed to be French). Wow, that makes 11 of us! This must be the best blog...ever! Is there a blog like this with more poeple on it? Well they aren't as cool.
Even though most of you are gone and we don't see you and we get bored and sad, it's good to know you are still out there. (Not to be sappy...but it's true that we feel lonely without everyone. Right, LCC people? That's what I thought.)

Bonnie's Place

Live from J.J.Wohlfert's:

That's right, this is coming during the last 3 minutes of my lunch break at work.
My co-worker (to use a Tomism) Tony told me about a restaurant near LCC campus called Bonnie's place, which sells really good food at very reasonable prices. For instance, he said that last Monday he went and got a 1/4 hamburger, fries, and a drink for $3.50!! I guess it is some Monday special where you get a big discount. So all that food, and really good food he says, and close to campus (about a block from LCC). We should go check it out sometime, my LCC buddies (and anyone else who would like to). I hope everyone is having a good life and is enjoying school. Peace out!

money...

Since the last two posts have come from my lovely fingertips, I figured I would post again.
I talked to a lady from Finlandia last night and she said that she would work on getting the finacial aid stuff sent to me. She said I was getting some $3500 scholarship and maybe another scholarship, but she wasn't sure what I was getting for aid. I think that tuition is 16,000, so I'm at around 12,500 right now. Central would be around 8000 I think...I'd have to look at the thing again. Northern would be around 11,000 plus whatever aid they would give me. I really don't care...I really just want to be on my own again, and at college. I wonder what I should do if the colleges end up all costing around the same amount...I haven't really thought about what I would do then. Sorry for thinking out loud, and I'm really sorry if you actually read to the end of this.

I saw my cousin Rapheal today...didn't even know he went to lcc...then i saw this really annoying guy from my art history class last semester...grrr he is sitting in the computer lab. I talked to Sarah from IL today on gmail chat. And I am not pleased with facebooks new features...they are stalkerish and creepy...too much info. Anyways ya'll are coming to the Italian thing right? Ok this has been another boring day in the life of Sarah. c-ya
