Funny funny easter bunny, how does your <3 explode

Change the way you live this year.. 'cause why not?

2011-12-19T09:32:00.001-08:00

Ways I'm going to go green for 2012:

1. Turn off my computer when I'm not using it (no idle!)
2. Use power strips for electronics, turn off and unplug when not being used
3. Reuse all boxes and packing materials I receive from eBay sellers
4. Find a place to recycle batteries, lighters, printer cartridges, and other harmful things to the Earth
5. Only purchase products/food with glass containers or other reusable packaging
6. More farmers markets, and only buying food grown in America, and preferably grown within a few hundred miles (Easier than it sounds!)
7. Taking the bus, buying a bicycle
8. Buying used items, as often as possible
9. Using a towel instead of paper towels, or drying off on my shirt
10. Finishing all the food on my plate

explodes!

Liberals and Conservatives comparrison by pizza.

2010-02-28T10:48:00.000-08:00

When I was younger I would often ask the difference between liberals and conservatives. When I've asked teachers this in the past they had to be politically correct in the way they explained it to me. Its kind of goofy right? They had to be politically correct when talking about politics.

I will now explain.

You're sitting with your group of friends in what you consider to be mixed company. You've got your liberal buddies and your conservative pals just chilling, watching movies. A friend suggests we order a pizza and he even offers to pay for it. We all decline and say we'll all chip in our parts.

The pizza arrives and all of your friends dig in. Want to know how to tell the liberals and conservatives apart? Look around. Who is eating their crusts?

Conservatives will have eaten their slice of pizza as well as the crust, because they understand the value of consuming the whole slice before thinking about the second.

Liberals will throw their crust back in the box and go right on to their second piece, because they expect that more pizza will just be there. Its also probable that they were the ones that turned to another person at the party and said, "Hey bro could I borrow 3 bucks to throw in for this pizza? I'm super hungry and I spent all my money earlier today on a hacky sack and this new zippo lighter. Check it out man, look how high those flames are!"

That is the guy that's eating YOUR pizza, throwing out the crusts, and then grabbing the last slice but declares hes too full to finish the last one! Thanks dude.

Now when someone asks you where your political stance is, think about how you eat your pizza.. The answer you've been searching for.

Let your heart explode.

90's Sitcoms did not prepare me for adult life.

2010-02-23T14:07:00.001-08:00

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but... Family Matters, Full House, Saved by the Bell (the College Years) and Boy Meets World were all wrong.

My life is not composed of 22 minutes of laughs and lessons learned and 8 minutes of commercial interruption. I have no family shots of all of us on a roller coaster, no Topanga, no Kelly Kapowski, no Danny Tanner (actually my dad is better), and no cool machine that turns me into Stefan, my cool alter ego.

Why isn't life as cool as it is on my 60 inch television screen? Where the hell as my Kelly Kapowski been? At this point I almost feel like I'd settle for Jessie. And to be honest, I never cared much for Topanga, I was just making a point. Why isn't life as great as 90's sitcoms made it out to be? I have no idea, but I'll keep searching.

Until then, let your heart explode.

A blog of mine from 2006 about Christian Morals

2010-02-06T13:21:00.000-08:00

To preface this, I find it strange and what not that I am still the same person by the standards of what I wrote. There really isn't a whole lot I would tweak in this writing, except for the being 17 part. I feel in every other aspect of my life I am different. Agree or disagree with what the 17 year old me wrote, I don't care. The 20 year old in me still agrees.

------------------------------------------------------
November 2006.

There really is no specific reason for this blog. I would just like to share my thoughts on what I've been feeling and hearing lately:

One thing God has been teaching me is to stop playing morals, and making sure that everyone knows that the Christian faith has nothing to do with morals. Because of Christians who think it is, people who don't believe in Christ think that to be a Christian they have to be a good person, quit doing their bad habits, whatever.

Its getting to the point where it really ticks me off. At Disciple Now, God taught a multitude of things to us all through these verses.

Mat 22:37-40 Jesus said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Does it need to be more clear? Why even mess with morals? Quit worrying about getting gay marriage banned, marijuana kept from being legalized, and abortion. Do you think by forcing Christian morals it will make people more holy in their actions? You can ban all you want. Especially by holding up signs that says "God hates fags."

I'm not advocating that you shouldn't fight for what you believe in, but fight for it for other reasons than "I dont think God likes this sin." Because be real, lost people do lost things, and thats the way it will always be. If you don't like gay marriage, dont get married to a gay person, if you don't like weed don't smoke it, if you don't like abortion then dont use contraceptives like birth control or condoms or patches. Or I suppose a more realistic approach would be don't get an abortion, but hey if you're playing morals anyway, you probably shouldn't have sex before your married.

If you're as stubborn as I am, you learn things the hard way. It's not that you enjoy hurting yourself, you just want to learn on your own. And some people are like that with moral issues.

I guess I am rambling, but what it all comes down to, is if you love the Lord your God with all your mind, soul, heart, and strength, it won't be about morals. The things we consider morals, all the things of this world, we won't want to involve ourselves in anyways because we are so in love with God with every part of us all the Christian morals we were preaching about will actually be with us. I don't know if that makes any sense, but I hope you learned something, or maybe decided something.

I am a moderate Christian. I won't ever vote in support of gay marriage, or crazy liberal issues, but I won't ever be upset if the laws that I don't like are passed. Except for taxes. Im 17 and I already hate taxes.

Love,
jack

Christmas Hangover

2009-12-26T22:22:00.000-08:00

The term Christmas Hangover just means the day after Christmas, so no gossip, please.

Here are the top 3 weirdest questions I have received while working for a text message answering service:

1. Does having sex with a sheep count as losing your verginity?

2. I just licked a box of fart and I can't get the taste out of my mouth. What should I do?

3. Can you have an orgasm after you are dead?

The answer to number 3 was surprising: If the sacral nerves in the spinal chord (orgasm headquarters as she calls it) are oxygenated and stimulated, then there isn't any reason why a dead person can't climax.

2009-09-21T14:10:00.000-07:00

I accidently just spelled white wrong 3 times.

1. wight

2. wite

3. wighte

im so embarrassed.

Someone is confused.

2009-09-21T13:52:00.000-07:00

Some recent thoughts:

I'm eyeballing as someone takes pictures of others misfortunes and makes money off of it. Has that become the new American Dream?

Linda Ronstadt just came on my Pandora radio station. Does that make me gay?

Don't put cookie dough in a microwave and expect a cookie.

What is the opposite of streetlight? Grassdark.

What is a Star Trek character that wears a lot of jewelry? Blingon.

Enough for now.

I've always been anti-loans

2009-08-06T12:20:00.001-07:00

The idea of getting a loan to pay for something has always turned me off. I've always thought that if I don't have the money upfront then I had no right to buy. With America going down hill because of people who couldn't pay back their loans, that just solidified my stance on getting one.

It's no secret, the economy has busted the balls of every American. Mine included. I've backed away from my hardcore libertarian belief, and today my loan application was accepted. I am purchasing a 2007 Nissan Sentra, and I couldn't be more excited.

It's always nice when someone tells you you're doing something right. I was told that I had a great credit score, and my interest rate reflects it. Kids: thats what happens when you pay your credit card off every month. I also learned that my credit line has increased by over $1000 since I last checked. Pay your bills on time, NEVER do the minimum payment.

Abortions. Ill constructed thoughts

2009-08-02T21:25:00.001-07:00

The right wing is pro choice. The liberals are anti-babies. The civil liberty seekers are neutral, and believe the federal government should not be able to set a law to decide for the people.

Thoughts:

I've heard a lot of liberals say, "If you make it illegal people are going to just get it done anyway on the black market."

Before you use that logic you must think. Heroin is illegal, but people are going to get a fix anyway and have to go through a grungy dealer to get it. Prostitution makes the same case. And lets think about this for a second. If heroin was legal tomorrow would you go out and try it? Crack? Meth? I'd say the same thing about prostitution but I think the answer is different.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but next time before you assume the role that your parents are in their disrespected parties, think about having your own independent thoughts.

Beauty

2009-04-06T23:25:00.000-07:00

It seems like beauty is getting harder and harder to find. I feel like I constantly have to remind myself that it can't always be found in one source. You've got to look around. It's in the wild. It's in the mountains. It's deep in your memories. It's in the goofyness in your actions. Its in friends you haven't talked to in ages. It's in art. It's not just in the expected, but it's in the unexpected. It's gold.

I have to go through my old pictures to remind myself that it's out there somewhere...
It's out there somewhere

End of recession. End of discussion.

2009-03-24T13:18:00.001-07:00

I've played a lot of music in live settings as well as recorded a lot of music. I imagine that in total I've probably played well over two hundred times. I do recognize that it's taken me a long time to get comfortable with my limited range and ability, but it works. No matter what your ability is, one of the hardest parts about being a musician is staying humble.

I am doing my best to say what I want to say without name dropping, but it just upsets me that one of my favorite musicians to play with has turned himself into a prima donna type who holds himself higher than his peers. There is no excuse for making your fellow bandmates... scratch that. There is no excuse for making your friends wait for you, then call at the time practice starts and say you can't make it. It's unprofessional, and it's not what you do to friends. As we get older, time is more precious. The time we aren't spent working or going to school can be put to good use in other fields.

Luckily I've been surrounded by great musicians who understand that when you're stuck with an outcome that isn't anticipated, you can always improvise. And thats just all you can do in these situations. The easiest way out is dismissing practice or the recording session and go your seperate ways. The smarter way is to take your God given talents and just work with what you have.

And thats what we did.

Steven Segal: The last great action hero

Recognize,

When you're little...

2009-03-12T23:31:00.001-07:00

When you're young, you try to figure things out without asking. Sometimes this isn't for the best.

Examples:

1. When I was a little boy, I thought that color wasn't invented until the 1950's-60's. Reason being, no movies were in color until those decades. It made logical sense.

2. I thought commercials were live. As in, every time there was a commercial, they would pick up whatever they were doing and sell it to the viewer every time. I honestly don't remember when I learned this wasn't how it was.

3. I thought my parents could hear my thoughts until I was about eleven or twelve. Embarrassing, lets not make conversation of this.

Until next blog,

Blessings

2009-02-12T11:04:00.000-08:00

We're all blessed in so many ways. Need examples? Being born is a good place to start.

I've just been thinking about what makes me, me. How did I get here? How would life be different if I had done something else? It puts in your head a lot of fun what-if's, but ultimately I believe I chose the right path for my life.

Who knows what the future holds, or if the USA will even be a country in the decade. I'm just excited to be alive.

Hope all is going well for you all too.

Spring time

2009-02-03T10:06:00.000-08:00

Spring time. The smell and the feeling in the air is the most grand feeling in the world.. the fresh beginning feel. It's the time that the snow has melted and when it rains it gets on your nerves but you still have a smile on your face. People are starting to take care of their lawns again. The neighborhood Mike's is packed with cars waiting to get their first wash of the new season. Snow scrapers are packed away in the garage. Snow shovels are replaced with claws and dirt shovels. T-Shirts are comfortable. School becomes pleasant knowing that the summer is around the corner.

Spring time in my head is connected with my third grade mindset. What new crushes will come about? What new friends will I make? Where will my bike take me? What is going to change this year? It's the first feeling I get that makes me say to myself, anything is possible this year.

The beauty of Spring is that every single one is different in it's own way.

Spring time.

The Bible History #1

2008-12-03T16:15:00.000-08:00

I'd like to start writing about the history of the Bible

I'm going to skip the canonization of the Bible and go right into faith for now.

I hate to give a three step, but here is what I think:

To attain salvation:
1. The Death of Christ (Jesus the Messiah)
2. The Resurrection of the Christ
3. Fulfillment of Scripture

The crazy thing about #3 is at the time of Paul writing this to Corinth, the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) had not been written. So what Scriptures is Paul talking about?

When Paul talked about fulfilling the scriptures, he was talking about the old testament. He was talking about the Torah and the Prophet writings.

There is a lot of other important beliefs that come with faith, but essentially that is what I believe it takes to be in the presence of God. 1 Corinthians 15 is my source with that one.

I want to write more but comprehending that is blowing my mind right now.

More on the history later

I dont know what it is

2008-11-19T14:50:00.000-08:00

If you haven't noticed a common theme with this blog, I attempt to leave out myself. Today will be the exception.

I haven't had a spiritual dream since October-ish of 2005. Out of nowhere, I had a new dream of spiritual nature.

I don't want to cover all the details, but I was very aware of my sin but I refused to tell anyone about it, which isn't too far from the truth. Then all the sudden, my sin was uncovered and I kept making excuses for it. An old friend's dad didn't care much for my excuses and chewed me out for it.

I needed it in the dream, and I need it now.

What does it all mean?
I already know. And as I was driving to school today I felt really calm and at peace. A peace that I hadn't felt for quite some time. Life wears you down. And to be living without peace occassionally popping into your life, I just don't see how you could live for very long. It's a quick path to death, or worse: unhappiness.

Take it easy for a while.

Still haven't forgotten about the Bunny...

2008-11-18T16:02:00.000-08:00

I haven't forgot about this place. How could I? I've just been busy out the bottom and trying to keep up with school and work and ebay.

It's kind of hard to blog about politics when you're in such a transitional stage. You can't complain about those leaving power because what's the point? You can't complain about the new administration because you haven't seen them work yet.

Until next time,

Thats it..

Cheers to the campaign that won the election by buying it with TV Specials, Facebook, Cha Cha, and whatever else $750 million+ buys

Spread the Vote Around

2008-10-30T07:17:00.000-07:00

This Election Day...

Think about the 2 obvious choices you've been given for President.

Think about the recession we're in. Think about how when we asked government to step in, we gave Wall Street 700 billion dollars. Think about how one clause in the original bailout plan was that the way that the money is spent is non-reviewable. Think about how if that money hadn't been reviewable we wouldn't have known that AIG spent well over $440,000 grand of YOUR money on a retreat for the big bosses in their company. Think about how pissed off that had you, and how you otherwise wouldn't have known about it.

Think about how the government's solution to a problem is money we don't have. Think about how that money has already been used (See above). Think about how government has made itself the problem with its intervention. Think about in a free market new businesses could have filled the holes that the high risks businesses have created.

This election think about how one candidate tried to buy himself the election with a $1 Million infomercial on the major networks. What else could be done with this money? Think about all the times that candidate went to vote in the senate he voted present on major bills. Think about how he's spent more money on this election than any other campaign in history. Change? Think about how there will hardly be any left! Think about how he says he won't raise taxes yet he has proposed nearly a trillion dollars in new spending.

This election think about the candidate whose own financial advisors told him his economic policies wouldn't work. Think about how this candidate wanted to put a 1 year freeze on government spending. Think about how this candidate has ran one of the dirtiest campaigns ever. Think about how this candidate has had commercials hinting that the other major candidate is a terrorist. Think about how much being the President of USA ages you. Think about the age of this candidate.

This election think about the candidate who has been silenced by the media. Think about how this candidate was the only candidate who registered with the state of Texas to be on the ballot on time, while the other candidates ignored the law. Think about the candidate who has been targeted by republican heads to get this candidate off of the ballot. Think about the candidate who is honestly tired of your civil liberties being taken away. Think about the candidate who doesn't believe in a national ID system. Think about the candidate who believes in an honest tax reform that will result in smaller government and less taxes. Think about the candidate who really will leave Iraq as quickly as possible. Think about how there is a candidate who realizes there is more wrong with this country than its economy.

This election think about the person who will bring real change. Think about the person who will bring a smaller government. Think about voting for your passion and not a "lesser of two evils."

This election, Think Bob Barr.

It is impossible for us to progress scientifically when these obstacles stand in the way:

1. When we let ExxonMobil decide whether we move towards solar technology while they're still making record profits. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." (Here's the scoop)

2. When we pour trillions of dollars into national defense instead of putting it towards education.

3. We create wars

4. We argue about stem cell research. It isn't about cloning, it's about healing disease, burn wounds, and perhaps cancer

5. We aren't in a cold war.

6. George Bush

7. Partisanship in congress and the senate

8. Nancy Pelosi

9. Self indulgence and MTV not actually being music television, but Sex Television

10. Recreational Drugs

An All Time Favorite: Anathema

2008-10-23T23:46:00.000-07:00

If you're reading this blog, you've probably realized by now that I like to post whatever I feel like. This entry is no exception.

I'm not really into reviewing music all that much, so I thought I'd share a story instead.

In 8th grade I remember struggling to find myself. As a Believer, as a person, as an individual. I remember staying home sick from school and popping on Instant Messenger to talk to a friend who shall henceforth be known as Timmeth. Timmeth was to me when I was in eighth grade what I am to people now: A music finder.

Timmeth introduced me to a Doom Metal band from Liverpool, England. It started with a few songs: Pressure, Release, Fragile Dreams, Panic, and Deep.

From there it grew to those few shared songs to picking up 3 great albums: Judgment, Eternity, and in November 2005, A Natural Disaster.

A Natural Disaster pretty much redefined who I was as someone who listens to music. I've never been a person who could just sit and listen to the same album for days on end, I need variety. While this is true 99% of the time, there are a couple albums that sneak by the rule and create the exception. A Natural Disaster is one of them. I encourage you if you are reading this entry right now and have some free time, download this album (preferably legally). It will be the best purchase you've made for this month I guarantee it. Otherwise it will be the best free album you've stumbled upon..

By no means have I even started to get tired of A Natural Disaster. After browsing iTunes today I found that Anathema had finally released a new album, and to my delight it was essentially an acoustic greatest hits-esque album.

Found on their new album "Hindsight" are the most glorious, well blended melodies known to the human ear. This is a required listening if:
1. You are a fan of Anathema
2. You are a fan of acoustic music
3. You are a fan of music
4. You have ears

There really is no way you could be let down with this album. If you are unsure about this whole suggestion and don't want to spend 9.99 on an album on iTunes, then at the very least listen to "Fragile Dreams" or "Are You There?"

I will make you this promise. If you don't like those 2 songs after downloading, I will refund your .99 cents back.

Thought of the Day #3

2008-10-17T23:13:00.000-07:00

I've got a couple quotes for you for this entry.

"If I'm going to fail, I'm going to fail by trying. Not fail by surrendering." - Bernard Hopkins, 43 year old legendary boxer

I heard this one a couple days ago, but I can't remember where I heard it:

"Its nice being important, but its more important to be nice"

Have truer words been spoken? I don't know, if you can think of any feel free to comment.

Until next thought,

Because I'm Going Green...

2008-10-13T08:16:00.000-07:00

That's right, folks. In order to better preserve the environment and be more energy efficient I have come up with a few ways that I am going green. I encourage all of you to join in on the fun.

-I eat my cigarettes when I'm done with them because I'm going green.
-I give my expired pills to homeless people because I'm going green.
-I make my kids eat the compost from the garbage disposal because I'm going green.
-When I play Pokemon I play as Bulbasaur because I'm going green.
-I haven't had sex, I'm already green.
-I cut off circulation in my arms and legs because I'm going gangrene.
-I gave you grade F Mexican tacos and it made you go green.
-I watch Dawson's Creek and One Tree Hill and store my tears in jars then I use them to take baths because I'm going green.
-I use the fur from roadkill to create my family's presents for Christmas because I'm going green.
-When I get a migraine I cut my head off instead of taking pills because I'm going green.
-I shave my body hair monthly and donate it to locks of love because I'm going green.

Just a little update that I haven't forgotten of the Funny<3BunnyI've had one of the busiest weekends in recent memory. Before that, basically the entire week my blog was taken down by blogger and I couldn't post anything because it claimed this was a "spam blog."

While I can assure you this isn't a spam blog, I can assure you that this is a blog that will touch on some touchy subjects.

I've got a few things I want to write about over the next couple weeks:
1. Going Green (Pretty much all jokes)
2. Christianity and Bill Maher, with ignorance on both sides
3. More Random Thoughts
4. More free writing!

And that's about it for now. Off to bed.

Dammit

I for one, am tired of my civil liberties being compromised without my consent.

I don't want to be apart of a Patriot Act.
I don't want to be apart of a war on a word as vague as "terror."
I don't want to spend billions and trillions of dollars on new wars.
I don't want interest rates being controlled by a central bank (AKA the Federal Reserve)
I don't want to think about how the ideals that this country were founded on are being erased by bankers who want more and more power and more and more money.
I don't want to give 700 billion dollars to anyone, nor do I want the federal reserve to collect the interest
I don't want to be apart of any Real ID act, nor any micro chip so that I can be monitored and erased when I disobey the government
I don't want old money running my country
I don't want all the countries of North America to be blended together
I don't want a single North American Currency.
I don't want a one world government

DAMN IT

A Bailout of the Billionaires

2008-10-03T23:54:00.000-07:00

Government is expanding itself yet again by bailing out wall street. This frustrates me so much. Why are we bailing out the people who don't need bailing out? All we are doing is rewarding those who take outrageous risks, we are not teaching a lesson, we are teaching that if your mistake is big enough the government will make it right.

Some can try to justify it by saying we will receive a return profit with the tax dollars we invest. I take issue with that. There was no real nationwide poll as for what to do, and I really don't believe that the average American was begging congress to bail out Wall Street. I think Wall Street was begging congress to bail out Wall Street.

What is really going on here? When I think of the bail out I think fast food. If McDonalds goes under, there are thousands hoping and waiting to take it's place. This same, basic principle can be applied to Wall Street. If big banks and investment companies fail, big deal. There will be many many many hoping to fill the risky shoes of the predecessor. If we let the big banks fail, no big deal right? FDIC will be there to pick up the tabs of the lost cash up to 100 grand.

Conclusion? I do not approve of this. The speed that congress is trying to pass this 700 billion dollar bailout plan at makes me believe that they are trying to pull a fast one on everyone. We took all the time in the world to get into this mess, we should take our time getting out of it to make sure it doesn't happen again. We can't have clauses in this financial contract that says it is "non reviewable." In addition, if we are going to make this "investment," it is only fair that if the American people are paying for it then they should atleast know what their money is going to. I for one, don't have a clue what my money is going to.

700 billion dollars is a lot, plus the 10 billion in Iraq, plus if Obama is elected another 700-800 billion dollars in new plans with lower taxes for 95% of America. Those are the kind of plans and expenses that will bankrupt a country.

Unexpected Grant Money

2008-10-01T10:49:00.001-07:00

I was going over my banking statements online and noticed I had a deposit of an unrecognized $400.00. After checking out my account at school, I found that it was more grant money.

I have to say I am truly blessed. Because of my mom's disabilities and not being able to work, I haven't had to pay a dime for college. In fact, in addition to college being completely paid off, I've received nearly $3000.00 in grants.

As much as I want government to make it self scarce in my life, I can't turn this down. And to clarify, when I say I am a great sponsor of a smaller government, I mean it. However the government can't turn their back on the education of it's people. And paying taxes so people who can't afford college is a necessity. The only way poverty can come to an end is by allowing people in financial hardship to get an education.

I will happily pay my taxes if I know it is going to education so people can experience what I experience. And on a state level, that is why I am voting for Mitch Daniels for Indiana Governor. He is passionate about all Hoosiers receiving free education at Ivy Tech or credits for other colleges in the state.

And for all of you Hoosiers who paid taxes recently, I won't let you down.

For education,

What the Hell? #1

2008-09-30T20:04:00.000-07:00

Sorry if hell offends anyone, but if ever there was a time to say it out of context, it has to be in this context.

As I left my Algebra class at school, and walked across the hall for my intro to Guitar class at IUPUI, I sat outside for a bit and waited for it to start. Skip forward a few minutes, and you'll find me walking into class and the oddest thing ever happened to me:

Someone followed me into class.

Before I had really noticed this, I decided to change up scenary and sit in the back on stage right, even though for the whole semester I sat in the front stage left. I tuned my guitar to an open C chord as the night before I was trying to learn "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake.

As I was nearly done tuning, a Chinese student who did NOT belong to our class (that followed me in) sat down next to me, as close as possible. I started improving in my tuning, and aparently he was astonished at something. He said this:

"Are you the master?"

I figured his English was a little off (it was) and politely I said "Im sorry, what did you say?" And he repeated it.

"Are you the master?"

I laughed and said I guess. Then he said something along the lines of

"You command respect!"

He talked to me some more and said his English name is Thomas, but his Chinese name was Junger or something like that. Instead of calling me Jack after I told him my name, he still called kept calling me master. And of course he had rough English and said it all with a stereotypical Chinese accent which made it all the better. "Master!"

He was in amazement that I had an "electronic" on my guitar, which was actually my tuner..haha. He also asked how come I was taking the class if I was so good at guitar. He also mentioned how the guitar is "America's pride." He compared it to a Chinese ______, similar to a guitar in China. I could not tell you what he said..

He kept on talking, and I kept on not understanding about 60% of whatever it was he was talking about. He did ask how come I didn't play with a guitar pick and I told him it was because I didn't have one, then he said "Oh you play with.. uh.. JagTag!" (Student ID)

Easily 5 more minutes had past and I decided I wasn't very fond of my new seat, that and I was starting to feel uncomfortable so I moved back to my old seat. He saw a fellow Chinese student walk into class who actually belong, and asked if he spoke Chinese. They engaged in a conversation, who knows what they were talking about.

Another 20 minutes after class started, we were going through our warming up exercises, and our teacher yelled at the foreign (to the class, and probably America) student and said he can't talk while we're doing exercises. 20 seconds pass, and this student gets up and tries to leave but doesn't know he's pushing the door that doesn't open. He basically rammed himself into it, which I thought was pretty humorous.

And that's my story. When you tuck your children in at night, tell them one very important thing about college:

Always sit in the same seat. When you're feeling like you need a change, don't. A chinese student will embrace you as Master.

Do this in remembrance of the student,

Thought of the Day #2

Tonight after a few minutes of letting my mind wander this is what it came up with:

love is not a method that will work every time.

Thought of the day

2008-09-28T21:23:00.000-07:00

I was thinking today. I have an issue that I'm not sure who to take it up with, but I'll lay it on ya:

The more regulations that the government creates, the less intelligent the people of the land have to be.
