Incarnate

Good Evening my fellow Americans. I, your president, have decided to address the country. It is a matter of "Nat'l security." People feel like they don't know who I am. Well, to those who don't know who I am. I am not Richard Nixon. I am a new Richard Nixon. I hold family values, and not the modern family values; but your grandparents values. But I think I need to clear the air on a few matters.

1. Some Hibbing drivers don't know what blinkers are for. Turning "blindly" into traffic . . . annoys me. <----------------------------------------------------------
2. I've grown rather repulsed by the sight of ice. I prefer the snow and sand/salt mix. Much safer to drive on when # 1 is out. -----------------------------------------------------------
3. The city of Hibbing still stinks at snow/ice removal.

There I've said it. Now onto another matter. I'm beginning to understand why those books were written the way they were. It's like understanding the concept of division before you learn to count. It makes no sense the other way. Another analogy I compare it to is: it's like knowing the fortune in the cookie before you open it. It takes away from the "mystique" of it.

That was what I, your president, needed to say to you, my fellow Americans. I can only hope that you all understand what I'm saying. Good night and God bless America.

Richard Nixon.

Update

Well here's an update on my "lively" days.

1. I've gotten more hours at work.
2. I've finished my "research" paper on The Temptations.
3. I've drank about 1/2 a gallon of my favorite holiday drink . . . You know . . . the nog.
4. I've died about 100,000 times on Battlefront II. I've also figured out what was already known: Vader- cool. Anakin-NOT! (Kind of sad being they're the same person.)
5. I've seen the predictable future: The Vikings won a fourth game. Brad Johnson is being praised as the savior of the season while Culpepper is being "run out of town" by the fans. I remain faithful!

Journal

Today, I thought I'd write my post from the perspective of a Stormtrooper (off Battlefront II) writing in his journal. Bear with me in the stupidity of the post.

May 19

Today was a great day. We found the rebel scum on Hoth. They set up some base there. (If you can call it that. It, really, was just a hole under the snow with a shuttlebay door.) We brought a few AT-AT's with along with some AT-ST's. We crushed them; leaving them no hope of escape. I, personally, think we ended the rebellion. We don't have the Princess yet, but we found a Wookie and a protocol droid. Lord Vader will be displeased that young Skywalker wasn't here. But we did find his friends and ended the rebellion. Surely he won't be all that mad . . .

I nearly died today. We were making a charge at the shield generator when PN-382 threw a grenade right at my feet. I was able to roll away in time. Unfortunately, YL-945 was not as lucky. Eventually PN-382 went to his own death. He threw a grenade and ran right through it as it went off. I, sometimes, swear we were all born of different parts. I was a brain cell and PN-382 came from the appendix. Ah well. There's a bounty hunter hanging around. I feel as though I've known him my whole life. I think I need to get going now. I need to go outside and take a walk towards the eastern caves with my rifle and armor.

The Video

So the other day in IPC (Interpersonal Communication) we had to watch a video on something from the mid-90's. It was a new concept called "Radical Honesty". Well the point of this is to sit down face-to-face with someone and tell them what you "resent" about them and what you "appreciate" about them. So we watched about 3.78 minutes of the video and were introduced to Maria.

Now, this lady could only be described as . . . vindictive. This lady resented the guy who we'll just call "Felix". (Why Felix? Because it's my story and I said so.) So Maria is ranting on about her resentment for him "loving her but not being in love with her", "dating other women without her knowing", and "never wanting to get married". I should mention she was screaming at the top of her lungs at Mr. Felix and that she did admire him for making her "feel loved" (???????)

All Felix can say to this is "I resent you for your nose." The guy may have the greatest comeback ever to all those personal attacks. And I should also mention these facts as well: They had broken up 2-3 months before the video was filmed and that she refused to believe it was over with Mr. Wonderful. Finally, that the video was filmed at a seminar costing $2,000 a person.

What a world. Perhaps I will make a list of the things I resent about people . . . it would be healthy according to the video.

Golden Post

Well kiddies, this is my golden post. Number 83. . . You see I was born in 83. I should try and make it my best, right? Well how to do it? I could do a review of some of my favorite posts or ramble on about a semi-political issue (such as how Congress is doing the right thing by their approach to baseball and regulating the steroid issue). But I think a stupid story of some "great" thing I've done is what I'll write about.

So I recently undertook the historied hobby of reading. When I was a young child, I used to read a lot. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but then I just strayed from it. Even when I had classes in junior/high school, I hardly read the assigned books. But I recently read a great book. . . without planning to read the sequels. I checked out a sequel without the intent of reading it (I'm being honest here). But when I finished the first book, I needed more. So I read the second of the stories and about half-way through I was bored out of my mind. I trudged on. To me it was kind of like reading "that one book" (you know which one I'm talking about). Got almost to the end and said, "Ok it improved." I eagerly waited for the next day when I could finish the book and get the third in the series. . . WOW! Fast paced this book is. I hope this isn't a one-time thing. Well that's the great thing I did. Was I vague enough? Or is it not that great?

My Foes

I have done it. I have finally defeated my foe from years ago. (he's the seventh one down on this list.) Now I get to move on to my next one(s) . . . Should I defeat them, (like I already have . . . LONG story) number 3 is next . . . One guy or the other. Why these two? They were in this (please click each dot) . . . And out of curiousity when did THIS happen? And my list will be complete when I get this fellow . I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE SOMEWHERE!!!
