STALL ART: The KKK, God &Jews...that sounds like a bad mix

I'm going to start posting pictures of crazy drawings or saying I find on the walls of bathrooms.  I call it Stall Art.  Today's pictures were all taken inside the same stall in a bathroom at WSC. 


These are all new stall arts within the last couple weeks.  They are all pretty offensive so I'm wondering how long they'll last on the wall before someone paints it.  



Dorothy visits Worcester


I took this picture with cell phone. 2 weeks ago  Pictured is someone dressed as Dorothy from The Wiggles in the rotary that connects Highland and June St in Worcester near WSC.

The Eight “I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts” [from FSM]

    The following is an excerpt from the book The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson, the religious text of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (Pastafarianism), and very interesting new religion who believe the creator is a Flying Spaghetti Monster.  I am a new member of this religion and just finished reading the book today.  The following is our version of the Ten Commandments.  I know there are only eight, but that's because two were dropped on the way down the mountain.

The Eight “I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts”
  1. I'd really rather you didn't act like a sanctimonious holier-than-thou ass when describing my noodly goodness. If some people don't believe in me, that's okay. Really,     I'm not that vain. Besides, this isn't about them so don't change the subject.
     
  2. I'd really rather you didn't use my existence as a means to oppress, subjugate, punish, eviscerate, and/or, you know, be mean to others. I don't require sacrifices, and purity is for drinking water, not people.
     
  3. I'd really rather you didn't judge people for the way they look, or how they dress, or the way they talk, or, well, just play nice, okay? Oh, and get this into your thick heads: woman = person. man = person. Samey = Samey. One is not better than the other, unless we're talking about fashion and I'm sorry, but I gave that to women and some guys who know the difference between teal and fuchsia.
     
  4. I'd really rather you didn't indulge in conduct that offends yourself, or your willing, consenting partner of legal age AND mental maturity. As for anyone who might object, I think the expression is "go fuck yourself," unless they find that offensive in which case they can turn off the TV for once and go for a walk for a change.
     
  5. I'd really rather you didn't challenge the bigoted, misogynistic, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bitches.
     
  6. I'd really rather you didn't build multi million-dollar synagogues / churches / temples / mosques / shrines to my noodly goodness when the money could be better spent (take your pick):
            1. Ending poverty
            2. Curing diseases
            3. Living in peace, loving with passion, and lowering the cost of cable
    I might be a complex-carbohydrate omniscient being, but I enjoy the simple things in life. I ought to know. I AM the creator.
     
  7. I'd really rather you didn't go around telling people I talk to you. You're not that interesting. Get over yourself. And I told you to love your fellow man, can't you take a hint?
     
  8. I'd really rather you didn't do unto others as you would have them do unto you if you are into, um, stuff that uses a lot of leather/lubricant/vaseline. If the other person is into it, however (pursuant to #4), then have at it, take pictures, and for the love of Mike, wear a CONDOM! Honestly, it's a piece of rubber. If I didn't want it to feel good when you did it I would have added spikes, or something.

        Ramen

I believe these rules should apply to everyone, even if you aren't a Pastafarian.

What I did this summer...

    Wow I haven't written in here since July 22.  Every time I say I'm going start writing in here I never do, haha.  Well I start school in the morning.  Its my senior year of college, wow I feel old, haha.  I haven't really done anything all summer.  I went to Warped Tour in July.  I was supposed to go see Blink-182, Weezer, taking Back Sunday and Chester French this past Saturday in Hartford, CT.  But didn't go.  I really wanted to got to show since late May.  Two weeks ago I just said fuck it (literally I was alone in my room and I actually said out loud, "Oh fuck it") and bid on and won two tickets to go to the show on eBay.  But I had no one to go with me and thus I started to freak out.  One of my old friends said he might, and then he didn't give me an answer.  I called him last Wednesday because I was starting to worry, three days before the show, and he said his grandmother was in the hospital and he couldn't go.  I freaked out.  I couldn't think of anyone else to go with me and if I wanted to see them on eBay I only had less than three days to sell and ship them.  Then at like 7:30 pm I said screw it and put them on eBay.  I was relived after 20 minutes one person messaged me saying they might want them and then another messaged me and said if I added a Buy-It-Now they would pay $75, including shipping.  I added a Buy-It-Now and sold them.  But I still really wish I could have gone.  I have been doing whatever I can think of to make money.  I sold I shit load of stuff on eBay this summer.  I listed 200 items and made more than $748.28.  That's a lot.  I started writing articles on the articles on eHow.com.  the site is full of How-To articles.  You write articles on the sites and they pay you for the views your article gets.  I wrote 14 articles on the site.  I written anymore though because the site pissed me off.  They were having problems and I sent them three messages over three weeks and the over responded to the second two, which annoyed me.  Then I started thinking about how I bet this site probably generates tens of thousands of dollars in ad revue every month.  They can more than afford to hire a few more people to work at the site and then it won't have issues.  And when they did answer my messages their answers were really crappy.  Since I started writing these articles, my 14 articles have a combined 1123 views and according to eHow I have made zero dollars off of my articles.  They are trying to tell me 1123 views equals zero dollars.  How?  I bet they made money off of ad revue of my 1123 views.  (You can read my eHow articles by clicking here).  I also had a yard sale in June to make money, or maybe it was May.  I sold stuff at the Flea market twice this summer.  I have been getting stuff and bringing to this thift store in Leominster called Cutiques, I bring stuff then and when my stuff sells they give me a check.  My mom also discovered this place in Holden where everything is free.  She got me a whole bunch of cross stitch patterns there and I sold them for between $2.5 and $20 each. 
    When upgraded to Digital Cable in mid-July and ever since I have been watching a lot of movies.  I literally have watched about 50 movies since May.  That a lot for me.  And most of them were really good.  (You can read reviews of all the movies on the Flixter application on Facebook).  I also became addicted to the show Weeds.  I bough the first two seasons at a yard sale for $2 each and I LOVED the show.  I watched the first two seasons in like three days.  I then had to go buy season three because the cliffhanger at the end of season drove me crazy.  Then I had to go buy season four.  With each season I liked the show more.  When I finished watching season four I started re-watching the DVDs.  Then when I finished watching season four I freaked because season five is on TV now and wouldn't go on sale until June of next year, I checked Amazon.  I really wish we got Showtime so I could watch the new season, but Showtime is an extra $10 a month and if I wait I can buy all of season five for like $20 next year.  Last week I was at my great-aunt's house and she gets Showtime and has On Demand so I was able to watch the first one and a half episodes of season five.  I also four books since the beginning of May.  That is a lot of books for me.  I usually read like maybe 2 books a year. You can see a list of all the movies I watched and books I read by clicking here.

My only plans all summer is to sell stuff on eBay.....

    Alls I have to do now is to sell stuff on eBay.  My mom gave me a crap load of stuff today that I have to start putting on eBay, like probably over 40 things.  So I'll be busy with that for a while.  My only plans for the rest of the summer is putting stuff on eBay and my cousins baby shower this Saturday.  That could be interesting, but probably boring.  My new friend Laura was supposed to have a pool party or something this Thursday but apparently her mom got mad at her and now she can't have it.  That sucks!  That sounded like it could be fun.  Now I got nothing.  So I'm going to spend the rest of the summer putting stuff on eBay.  This really sucks.  I REALLY wanted to go to the Blink-182, Weezer, Taking Back Sunday and Chester French show in Hartford in August but I couldn't find anyone to go with me and I really didn't have the money to buy anything but a lawn ticket.  Pretty much alls that's left for tickets to that show is lawn tickets.  I also really want to go to The Get Up Kids show at the Palladium in Worcester in October, but I can't find anyone to go with me.  I'm no TGUK superfan, I think it'd be really cool to see them.  (TGUK means The Get Up Kids for anyone who couldn't pick up on that).  Well whatever I guess I'll just stay home, sell stuff on eBay and watch TV.

Visit My Website....NOW

    Like no one visits mywebsite.  That makes me sad :(.  Everyone go visit my website!!!  My website ishttp://ribzy.freehostia.com, go toit now!!!!  I put an amazing amount of hours into it and no one visits it, so go now!!!!

Warped was fun and Johnny was interesting

    Wow last post was one month ago.  In my last couple posts I said I would start posting more and I haven't in a month haha.  Well the past month has been ok.  I went to Warped tour last Sunday 7/12 in Hartford, CT.  It was really fun even though for about a hour and a half at Warped I felt like crap, I think the sun was getting to me.  I say some kick-ass bands at Warped.  In the couple days before Warped I was thinking about it and I was a little scared on whether or not I would actually have fun, there were only a couple of bands I really wanted to see and I was going with people whom I didn't really know that well including one girl I'd never even met.  But I actually had a lot of fun.  The people I went with were fun and the girl I'd never even met was actually pretty cool.  We had a whole crap load of fun and after Warped we went to the Denny's-All-Nighter-After-Party, which pretty much was nothing like I expected.  But we had fun at Denny's even though it took us literally and hour and half to get our food.  We met these really cool two girls at the table next to us and we were talking to them off and on until they left. 
    Then I really didn't do much last week. 
    Over the weekend my family went to upstate Vermont to visit and old family friend.  We were going to see my dad's old friend from college, Johnny,  whom we hadn't seen in like ten years.  It was kind of interesting listening to him talk about my dad's college days.  I learned some interesting stuff, some I might not have wanted to know, haha.  He was cool but I he lives literally about 4 miles from the Candaian border in Swanton, VT and there is literally nothing up there. 
    I have been trying to find a job but no one is hiring I've been selling crap on eBay to try to make money.  Since the end of May I've listed 87 items and made about $258 on eBay and I got a crap load more stuff to put on.  I got my college bill for the fall in the mail over the weekend and I'm gonna need a hell of a lot more than that. 
    Well that's about it for now.  My cousins baby shower is this Saturday, I might write about that after Saturday.

Job Applications are RIDICULOUS

    So in my last post I said I'd write in here more, well that was on June 12th and I haven't written since then, but I am now, so I guess its all ok.  I have been trying to find a job and is getting sick of filling out applications.  These friggin applications are ridiculous.  Many of the applications you fill our online have a 25 to 54 page section of questions about how you think and your personality.  That's ridiculous.  When I filled out the application to Radio Shack there was a 54 page section like that and it was timed, you only had 55 minutes to finish it.  All the questions were multiple choice and each page had 4 questions.  First it was stupid you are required to finish it but why is it timed, not that it isn't easy to finish in way less than 55 minutes, but why does it matter if you don't.  And a lot of these applications require a couple references, and usually a good amount of experience.  OK does it really matter how many references I have if I'm applying to say Hot Topic or FYE?  It's friggin Hot Topic!  It isn't some kind of fancy or nice store, it's Hot Topic.  I HATE these applications.  I hope I get a job soon or I'll loose my mind with these applications.

My first really randon post in 2.5 months

    So over since my last post not much has happened in my mundane life.  I reorganized my room a little.  I gave my old desktop computer and desk to my grandmother.  I got a new desk.  I FINALLY  have a desk I can sit at and use now.  I got a some new shelf units to hold my stuff.  I got new CD shelves.  And all my new shelf units are black and the all match.  My room looks nice now.  My mom bought me a nice printer for my room.  I have gotten really into the artist Gus Fink, am have bought a bunch of his stuff on ebay.  I now have seven Gus Fink art prints on my walls.  I am FINALLY going to hang that sweet Sublime skateboard on won in an online contest on the wall.  I also FINALLY bought a record player, although it is a piece of shit.  I also have picked up some sweet really cheap records including by the Beatles: "Let it Be", "Magical Mystery Tour", "Revolver", "Abby Road", "1962-1966", and "1967-1970"; "My Aim is True" by Elvis Costello; "Double Fantasy" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono; and "Never Mind The Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols" by the Sex Pistols.  I am really want "London Calling" by The Clash and "Skeletons in the Closet" by Grateful Dead on vinyl.  I am watching both on ebay and will probably bid.  Speaking of ebay since I'm not currently working I am trying to sell whatever I can on ebay.  Check out my crap athttp://shop.ebay.com/merchant/ribzy12_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZThere is a bunch of crap want to do this summer but won't.  First I want to go to the Eugene Mirman show in Boston this month, but won't.  I want to go to the gallery of the work of Shepard Fairy at the ICA in Boston, but won't.  I really wanted to go to Blink182's reunion, but I highly doubt I'll do that.  I now own a Sega Genesis, an N64 and a GameCube, but I am in no way a gamer and I rarely play any of them.  I also no own a 5' tall Homer Simpson that sings and dances.  My bought it at a yard sale.  I turned 22 this past Monday and I did pretty much nothing to celebrate.  Me, my mother and grandmother went out to lunch.   Bun is having me drive her to the cemetery to water the plants on Grampy's grave several days a week.  I don't know what else to say.  I'll try to blog again this weekend.

I'm Going to Start Writing in Here Again......

    Holy shit!!!  Have I really not blogged since March 30th?!?!?!?!  It's probably because I know absolutely no one reads this.  However, since I have no life, no friends and currently no job I think I'm going to start writing in here again.  So all my imaginary friends should get ready....

A bought a great box set and a book

    I am so happy, the CD box set I bought on ebay came today.  I bought No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion (pictured above) on ebay last week.  It's an awesome four CD set that I've wanted for like a year or more.  It's about $60 in the stores, I paid $15 (including shipping) on ebay and it's in really good condition.  I'm going to listen to it soon.  It has some amazing songs on it.  There are like three awesome CD box sets by these guys at Rhino Records.  The first is Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era 1965-1968 which has great songs from the psychedelic era of the 1960s, No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion which chronicles the beginning of punk, and Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground which has some awesome underground songs from the '80s.  I bought the last one last summer at the flea market for $10 (although sadly it's missing disc 4 ) and I just got No Thanks! on ebay, alls that's left is Nuggets.  I'll probably never buy that one though, it isn't as good as the other two. 
    I also just bought the book "The Will to the Whatevs: A Guide to Modern Life" by Eugene Mirman (pictured above).  I've wanted this book for a few months now, I didn't rush to buy it because I'm not a huge reader so I'll get it when I get it.  If you don't know who Eugene Mirman is then I recommend you crawl out from under the rock you live under and look up this amazing comedian online.  This book is a hilarious self-help book that he had been writing for a while, but the book just recently came out.  The book is 206 pages, so I might get through it by Christmas, haha.  I'm a very slow reader.  Mom had a coupon so I only paid like $6 for it Borders.  A few weeks ago me and ma were at Borders and I started reading this book called "Weird Stories, Bizarre Stories and Life's Oddities".  I shows mom and she looked at it and asked if I wanted her to buy it for me.  Just to let you know she had a coupon she needed to use, she doesn't normally just buy me stuff.  At first I said no but then I looked at the back of the book and saw it was only like $4, so I let her buy it.  So I've been reading that too, but that has a lot of pictures, so it's a faster read. 
    Over the past weekend we went to our first yard sale of the year.  If you don't know me well, I love yard sales and flea markets and such.  I've got some amazing deals on stuff.  I've also bought stuff and resold it for a good profit too.  I can be a good salesman.  There was only one yard sale over the weekend, but this weekend there'll be more and then there'll be pretty much more each week.  It's very exciting.  My mom said the Rietta Ranch flea market opens for the year this Sunday, she wants to go but I don't think we are going to.

You should buy a pre-sale ticket to Warped Tour


    The pre-sale for tickets to Warped Tour go on sale April 1.  I strongly recommend you buy a presale ticket if you are thinking of going to Warped Tour this year.  These special pre-sale tickets are going going to be well special.  They will be special 15th Anniversary tickets.  They come with a free copy of this year's 2-CD Warped Tour compilation set.  They are cheaper than regular tickets (I am not sure how much the will cost yet, but in past year the pre-sale tickets were about about $27 and the regular tickets are about $35).  They also  will get you into the show earlier than every one else (I do not know how much earlier but trust me an amount eralier if a huge plus with the crowds that are usually trying to get into Warped every year).  You should definetly consider going this year and you should buy a pre-sale ticket.  If you click the banners here you it will bring you to a site where you can be signed up to be notified as soon as the pre-sale tickets are on sale and on April 1 they will automatically redirect to the site where the pre-sale tickets will be sold.  I posted a video below about this year's Warped Tour, watch it!

Milk was Amazing

    I rented the film Milk today out of the RedBox and it was one of the best films I've ever seen.  I had wanted to see it for a while, I thought I might possibly like it.  I loved it.  The cast was amazing.  Sean Penn by far deserved the Oscar for Best Actor this year.  I really really like Sean Penn.  I haven't seen too too many of his films, but every film I've seen him in he was amazing in.  I loved him I am Sam too.  Josh Brolin's performance was incredible.  James Franco was awesome.  Brolin and Franco put so much emotion into their characters.  The look in Harvey's eyes was so powerful.  When I first saw Lucas Grabeel as Danny Nicoletta, I was unsure how he would be.  I was like "Isn't that the kid from High School Musical?"  But he really surprised me and did a really good performance.  They showed a real pictures of many of the main characters and the many of the actors actually looked like the real life people they portrayed, especially Milk.  Sean Penn looked a lot like Harvey Milk.  This film was just awesome.  Within the first 15 minutes of the film I immediately knew I would love it.  I cannot praise this film enough.  I just loved the whole style of the film, having Harvey Milk in a way narrate the story.  I loved how they wove actually footage of the period into the film.  In the end of the film I knew it was coming, but that scene with Harvey Milk and Dan White in White's office was still riveting.  I seriously, seriously recommend everyone see this film.  I watched the special features and they were just as incredible.  It was really interesting to see that they actually included many of the actual people from the story n the film, most of them had small roles in the background, but still.  Very few films actually move me.  If you actually really know me, and I know most of you don't, you'd know that I am NOT a very sensitive or emotional person at all.  This film moved me. 
    Honestly the only other film that has moved me like this was I am Sam (also starring Sean Penn).  That is another film I recommend you see.     That film is about a mentally retarded man's struggle's to keep custody of his daughter.  I've actually never told this story, as some of you know my younger sister is mentally retarded and the first time I watched I am Sam she was sitting with me.  It was just the two of us in my room.  She usually won't sit through many actual non-children's movie, she will usually either fall asleep or start fussing.  She stayed awake the whole time and didn't make a peep.  I honestly think she enjoyed it just as much as I did, although she can't talk so I won't actually know.  After the two us finished watching it, I just hugged her and sat with her for a while.  That film really just got to me.  My mom really liked the film What's Eating Gilbert Grape.  That movie was good, however I thought Sean Penn did a better portrayal of a person with mental retardation and the story was better. 
    Any one who really knows me knows I never talk like I did in this post.  I don't know, I just feel like it.  I also know probably no one will read this, but I just felt like writing this and saying what I've said. 

 

Me and Jen went to Hannafords

    Bun had said last week that we might go out for breakfast some time this week since me and Kara are both on spring break.  I was thinking about last night and I called Bun and said today was the last day of the week are we going or not.  She said sure.  Me, her and Kara all went to breakfast this morning.  Initially she had said last week that we might go to Jake's Cafe in West Boylston, but Grampy used to love that place and he died the end of last year.  Bun said she wasn't ready to go there, I tried to talk her into it but it was no use.  We were going to go to some place in Acton, but when we got there it was packed.  We left and went to some place in Maynard, the food was OK.  Me and Jen hung out for a while today.  Mom had to get her wisdom teeth pulled and dad went with her.  Right before Ma & Pa left Jen came in the living room and to sit with me.  After a while she leaned against me and fell asleep.  She dozed on and off.  She kept waking up and making me rub her ear.  She sat with me for over an hour and then Bun called and asked if we wanted to come over because Sandy was there.  Before Jen fell asleep she kept signing she wanted to walk to Bun's to show her movie, so I told Bun sure.  We hung out there for like 45 minutes to an hour and then we went back home.  Then we left to go return bottles at Hannafords.  I told Bun we were going and like always she wasn't sure if I should.  I told her I'd brought Jen to do bottles before and she was fine, it'll be ok.  As we were walking across the parking lot I saw a car that looked just liked Gram's and when we walked by it and I happened to turn and look at it and I realized an was sitting in the Passenger's seat of the car.  It was Gram's car.  We stopped and talked to Nan for a second.  Jen was such a good girl, I could tell she was actually having fun.  I think Jen loves to be given some responsibility.  Jen loved putting the bottles in the machine.  She was very slow but I was no hurry and she was having fun.  We she first started putting bottles in the machine she looked at me and signed work Elmo.  I thought for a second and remembered there was and Elmo DVD she wanted they were selling at Hannafords.  She was asking me if she helped me if I'd buy her the DVD.  I said, "No Jen, Elmo's for babies."  After we returned bottles she helped me cash in some money in the Coin Star Machine.  When we were at the Coin Star machine the girl who was working in the courtesy booth walked by us and told me Jen is her favorite little girl that comes in.  I don't know if she knew Jen outside of Hannafords or not, but I thought that was nice.  Next we looked for a movie to rent out of the RedBox.  I was leaning towards renting the film Milk, but I kept looking at the other movies.  I did rent Milk, read my review of the film in my next post.  Jen was such a good girl I let her rent a movie too.  She wanted to rent a Bob the Builder, I said no.  Then she wanted Scooby Doo, I told she wouldn't watch it.  She wanted Sponge Bob, and I told her the same thing.  She eventually rented Kung Fu Panda.  Then we walked around Hannafords to buy some food.  Hannafords now has small carts for like old or short people and Jen loves them.  She insisted I buy her some bubbles, so I gave in, they were only $0.85.  When we were at the register Lampon was the cashier at the register behind us.  Lampon is a really nice Viatemese lady that works at Hannafords she was asking me about Jen.  She was saying Jen is cute and then she asked how old Jen was.  She was stunned when I said eighteen.  I laughed and said she is a little short.

Blog on Facebook, Going to Breakfast with Bun, I gotta alotta trash, etc....

    I  have set it so the feed from my blog (this) will be fed into Facebook.  Every time I post a blog entry it will automatically be posted to my Facebook as a note.  So If your reading this on my Facebook, cool, thanks, enjoy. 
    Bun told me several times last week that we'd all go to breakfast sometime this week.  Well the week is almost over and we haven't yet.  I called her earlier and asked her if we're going or not.  She said sure we're going tomorrow, me, her and Kara.  But she asked me where I wanted to go, and I told her Jake's.  She said she still isn't ready to go to Jake's so we're going to some little place in Acton. 
I spent several hours yesterday and today working on my Chem lab and Chem quiz.  My Chem teacher is the only one who gave homework over break, I hate her.  Both the quiz and lab are a bitch to do, I didn't finish either.  Me and Scott were talking on Facebook chat and he helped me some but he is really confused too.  We are both just going to do them both on Monday so we can ask the stupid teacher questions. 
    I saw this shirt online and I kinda like it, and it's cheap, should I buy it?

This semester is better than the last one

    Wow, I haven't updated this in a long time.  I stopped because I know that no one reads this, I only started writing in it because I was bored.  I knew the only person you read this was Jessie and after we broke up I just didn't see why I should.  I'm still not actually sure why I am. 
    This semester has been ok.  It is a lot better than last semester.  Last semester was probably the worst semester of my college life so far, and probably will be my worst semester of college period.  Last semester Grampy was in the hospital most of the from the end of October to the end of November (which is most of the semester),, he died in the end of November.  There was also my problems with Jessie, I wasn't really happy most of the time and I don't think she was either.  Most of the time I tried to act like it was Ok because I had enough to deal with with Grampy and and school.  For some reason I've hanging out at school a lot this semester.  Everyday, except Monday, I'm done with classes pretty early, but yet I don't go home until usually 3 or so.  I don't really do anything at school.  I usually just watch TV and hang out around the Living Room (the area with the couches in the Student Center at WSC) and surf the internet.  Sometimes I do homework, usually I don't though.  Sometimes I hang out with some of my new friends.  Most of my classes aren't too bad.  My Chemistry teacher is annoying though because she obviously doesn't know Chemistry, she makes really really dumb mistake in class and it's annoying because she is the teacher and the students correct her at least 3 times every class.  My favorite professor, Jeff Meunier, will not be returning in the fall.  He wants to, but they are cutting all temporary staff, and he is sadly temporary.  I few of us circulated a petition to try to get him to stay.  We collected about 110 signatures, about 80 of those I personally collected thank you very much.  We gave the petition to the school president, but we are unsure if it'll work.  He said at the end of the semester we will have a party, regardless if he stays or goes.  He told us its hard to have a party at school so we should all go to a local bar.  How many teachers say his students should go to a bar with him?  This guy is awesome, he is always cracking jokes in class and tells us awesome stories and he is the most passionate CS teacher at WSC. 
    Jessie sent me another message on Facebook today.  She sent me one in early January when she found out my cousin Jessica is pregnant.  Just like the last time I didn't respond.  I'm not being pissy I just really think it is best if she is completely out of my life.  I had decided a long time before we broke up that when we broke up
, I say when and not if because I knew we wouldn't last, that I would want her completely out of my life.  I didn't want to talk to her anymore, I didn't want to see her anymore, nothing.  The second we broke up I decided I really wanted to stay to that plan.  I just don't want any contact with her.  I honestly think I'd be better off.  Against my better judgment, I actually read the message.  She was actually very civil in the message.  She said she wanted to know if I wanted hang out sometime.  But Jessie was once again being Jessie.  She is not realistic.  She needs to realize I don't want to have anything to do with her.  Yes I get bored and lonely at times, yes I am on Spring Break and am more bored than usual, yes I want to spend time out with people, but no I do not want to spend time with her.  She'll probably read this, which is probably good, I'm not being pissy, I'm just honest.  I have been trying to contact Garrett about hanging out this week, but he is never online.

25 Random Things About Me

1.  I absolutely LOVE Coke (Coca-Cola not cocaine).  I drink a lot of soda, usually Coke, per day.  Last year my mom decided to stop buying me Coke and me being cheap I didn’t buy it for myself.  Within a couple days I started getting head aches and I started joking I was addicted to Coke and was having withdrawals.  Well I was.  I was at the doctor not long after and she said I probably was addicted to Coke, but she said I was addicted to the caffeine in the Coke.

2.  A lot of people call me cheap.  But I’m not cheap I’m thrifty, there’s a difference.

3.  I’m quite the geek, but I fully embrace it.  Isn’t it cool to be a geek now?

4.  I love the band Piebald.  I went to their last two shows ever, I was in their last music video, I own 4 or 5 Piebald T-shirts, 3 Piebald Posters, I have 3 signed Piebald objects, and I have almost all their splits (which are all really hard to find), I’ve met the band three times, and more….

5.  I collect Mad Magazine memorabilia.  I really collect it.  With the exception of like 4 issues I have every Mad Magazine since 1997, including the Super Specials.  I have over 60 Mad books, an Alfred E.
