Is there anything Full Throttle can't do??

Full Throttle, yes, the energy drink. At times, it's the nearly instant pick-me-up that I crave for. Other times, it gives me the energy and motor skills of a two-year-old.

So I wrote this letter to the editor of our school paper on Monday. Well, apparently my not so dear Democrat friend that I wrote about thought I was making a personal attack on his character. Apparently saying "I'm not personally attacking you Jacob..." means that I am personally attacking him. I just don't understand the language some of the Democrats around here speak.

In other news...
United Council = The Devil. This is something we need to get rid of, BADLY. Our University alone gives them around $40,000 per year, have you even heard of them? They're supposed to lobby for us, as students, at the state level. The only thing they seem to do is whatever the Board of Regents tells them to. Which is a message they're relaying from our wonderful Governor Jim Doyle.

Another thing in the UW system that needs to change is the way the Board of Regents works. If it's going to be a partisan political position, it should be an elected position, not appointed. Having an appointed board that essentially controls the UW System is like having only one branch of Government without a system of checks and balances.

Anyone from UWEC reading this, I ask you to vote NO to the referendum on May 10th. Don't just take my word for it. There are many people on campus with differing political views from mine that will tell you the same thing.

Have a nice summer!

EC in the summertime..

In theory it's a good idea. No parents, lot's of money from work. Take some extra credits. WRONG! The reality of it all is that until the two of my room mates that are staying for the summer return, I'm going to be bored out of my mind! I've looked in the fridge like 50 times in the last 10 minutes. I watched a movie that was a good way to kill a couple hours, but I just keep thinking, until I start class monday, what can I do in my spare time?? So, any ideas, let me know. Let's see what you guys can come up with, just post them as comments, it'll be a game. We'll see who can come up with the best idea for what Ryan should do when he's bored. Have a nice summer!

RIP Mitch

Image
Mitch Hedberg was found dead in his hotel room yesterday morning. What a sad day. December 27th 2003 David, Mark, and I went to the Rosemont theater in Rosemont, IL. Very near to Chicago. We had tickets to see Lewis Black, Dave Attell, and "Special Guest." I don't think any of us knew who the special guest was, until he was announced. That was probably the coolest part of the trip, not only did we get to see Lewis and Dave, but Mitch Hedberg as special guest. I'm so glad we got to see him. If I remember correctly David and I were going to see him again, but it didn't work out. Now I really wish that would've worked. Anyway, I would like to commemorate this as Mitch Hedberg weekend. I'll put a random Mitch Hedberg joke up as often as I feel like doing. At least one per day. What a terrible loss to the comedy community, you'll be missed.

So, I just woke up at 11:19 or so. Which is only 49 min. late for class. and only 40 min. left in class. So i figured, by the time I found some clothes and put them on, and ran down there, walked up the three flights of stairs, there would probably only be 10 or 15 min. left. So i just went on my computer. And Adam was logged on in the lab that our class is held in, so he let me know what was going on. Well andyway, I gotta work tonight 4-12, and I'd just like to congratulate Tara on single handedly defeating the giant cricket type thing that even shadow (her cat) was afraid of. I didn't like it much either, but it ran away from me, so I couldn't kill it. In other news... I need to put up a new Fun Fact so here goes... Fun Fact #2: Americans, on the average, eat 18 acres of pizza a day. Have a nice summer!
