Applied Ethics... or friends...

So, I was told by a certain drunk person tonight that I need some more friends. She's right. If my room mates aren't around and I don't work I don't do much of anything around here. It's sad really actually. I'm just one of those people that can't handle being alone all the time, it bugs me after a while. But ah well, it'll be fine. Gives me more time to focus on my academic goals. So yeah, I'm gonna go back to reading about Utilitarianism in my Applied Ethics book for my Philosophy class. Argh. Have a nice summer!

Whoa!

I'm a frickin' genius!! I am! Don't deny it. Alright, here it is, the idea that will make me rich and famous. I'm going to share it if you promise not to steal it. OK? PROMISE!?! Alright, here goes. It's an idea for a new reality show. I know what you're thinking, how cliche, but it gets better. We take, real-life actors and actresses, and we put them into real-life situations where they have to live like normal people! I know, it's crazy, but it just might work. Let me know what you think, Have a nice summer!

Ethics..

So, I have my Philosophy class today. Philosophy 120: Moral Problems in Contemporary Life. If everyday goes like the first we're just going to "discuss," meaning argue, about controversial subjects. Sounds like fun to me, just what I'll need to break up the monotony. The only question I have, how does one take a test on things that we're going to discuss in this class? He didn't cover that today. Here's my assumption, let me know if you have a better idea. Since he told us we're going to argue a lot in the class, I think our test will be essays. In these essays we'll probably have to argue a side of a topic or something like that. At least, that's what I'm hoping for right now. We'll see. Anyway, Hard to have much of an update from my first class, so I'm gonna go. Have a nice summer!

so true.. so true..

How evil are you ?

Big gulp's eh?

I'm stuck in a world of randomness. I'll try to describe it. It's like being in a world where an intertwined Mitch Hedberg and George Carlin stand-up comedy performance is playing, with all of the randomness that would entail. While this is playing, you're dancing around with Teletubbies and Frank the rabbit from Donnie Darko. Sticking with the DD theme, let's have some subtle Gary Jules' Mad World playing quietly in the background. Three black spirits keep shooting by, you see them, but never get a good look at them, either moving too fast for you to see, or too far away to make out any details. The concept of snow on an overpass surrounded by nothing but air is inexplicably confusing. Apparently omelettes can be square. Unnamed CD's make for good listening, they're like a "insert Forest Gump quote here." When people share their music it is exciting, when all of their music is Christian bands except for the Slipknot CD, it's j

Mr. Booyakasha Spoon! 

ahhhh

At the end of Anchorman with the commentary on, Christina Applegate says, "Booyakasha." I know, I know, I couldn't believe it either, listen to it, it's right before the credits start with the commentary on. Anybody that doesn't understand why I find that so crazy doesn't have me on MSN messenger. Since the Fall of '03 pretty consistently I had Booyakasha as the start of my MSN names, because of a picture of a spoon I have, which I will post. This just boggles my mind. Well, time for bed. You stay classy Saint Diego. Have a nice summer!

who knew...

So, I finally finished cleaning the apartment, after having my crap laying all over, I decided to actually clean. I must admit, it doesn't look half bad, actually, it doesn't even look a quarter bad. It's good to be back and have the internet again, not to mention my very nice connection speed. I saw somebody I knew today, and it wasn't someone that I work with either. I was quite excited. It was Jim, he's friends with my roommates, he lives upstairs. That was while I was taking out the garbage, and boy was that disgusting. First of all, apparently if you leave a head of lettuce in the drawer in the fridge for an undisclosed amount of time, somewhere around 3-4 months, it turns into a small, smelly, squishy, dripping, brown, disgusting mess. So yeah, that was a good find for the day. Beyond that nothing seemed to smelly, the recycling bin reaked of stale beer, but even that wasn't that bad. I managed to get all of my clothes and Christmas pr

Working Wirelessly...

So, I have the router up and running, halo seems to lag a bit, but anyhoo... That was enough to keep my interest for a little while. The decision to stay here in Eau Claire and work for the rest of break, so far, doesn't seem like it was the best one, (for redundancy's sake I'll add another) so far. It's very quiet, even with tv/music on. Apparently some of the room mates were here last weekend, left pizza boxes and things out, that'll give me something to do, for aboot 2 minutes. By the time I have to work tomorrow I'll more than likely have everything put away. I don't know what I'm gonna do with myself, and all this free time. I can't really afford to go out and do things, because things cost money, and I don't have anybody to do things with. Oh well. I'm gonna go try to sleep now. Have a nice summer...

Fun...

Playoff Bound...

I thought we already swept the Vikings!?! Oh well, just have to beat them for a third time. I almost got tickets. If the game was going to be on Saturday afternoon, then I would've been able to go. Instead it's Sunday afternoon and my step-mom is going. Here's why... My Dad and Step-mom were planning on leaving for Florida on Friday, but since the Packers won the division and they have season tickets, including playoffs, they decided to change the dates of their vacation/business trip. So, they're leaving Sunday from the game in Green Bay. Now, if the game had been Saturday, my Step-mom would've let me go because they would still leave Sunday, but it would be from here instead of GB. SO yeah.. a bit confusing but all in all it sucks. Sorry Dave, I tried. Anyway, I have to get up for work early, and it's not early now. Let me know what you think of the new layout, I felt like messing with it. Have a nice summer!

Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year Everybody! Cheers to a new year! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We had an awesome party at Adam and Angela's, it was fantabulous. Mark was puking by 10:30. HAHA, so funny. But that actually worked out good because he took David home later on, and then I didn't have to get up early. Plenty of alcohol, all I remember about my conversation at midnight with Tara is that Angela talked to her. So yeah, I had more than enough to drink. I felt great this morning though, so that was good. Such a boring day. Very very very boring... I watched my full system scan of norton antivirus run, along with adaware and I defraged my hard drive. Just for something to do. Well, I'll have the internet back tomorrow night, instead of this dial-up crap that they try to pawn off as internet here in a-town. Hope everyone's break is going good! Have a nice summer!
