Well con is over. Had a great time this weekend. Must have walked like 18 miles. Got a little tipsy, made a few new friends, saw some old friends. Adam Scotty came, dressed in a kilt, great time. Sang me a ballad. I loved it. Other Joe and that group came, that was great. Got a book called "Bubba's of the Apocalypse" by a compilation of writers. Can't wait to read that. Man, this was great fun. For those of you who missed it, come next year! Damnit! I only had like 8 hours of sleep during the weekend, so when I got home yesterday I slept some 14 hours. I'm good to go now. Current Mood:  tiredMarch 31st, 2005:
This past week or so has deemed not worthy. I ignore it for all existence. Oh, I'm staying in Memphis, and damnit, this is final. It's U of M and then Grad School for me! I read a book yesterday about a Canadian poet, Robert Service. He called himself the Bard of the Yukon. Jason sent me this book, along with other pieces of propaganda attempting to get me to move there. These attempts have failed, for now. When I reach and obtain my first Ph.D. in Some history I will head to WWU and get yet another. I feel like listening to Bard music. Like what Adam Scott used to sing. Adam, write me a ballad! Please? And come to Con too. Free booze. ;D Call me sometime too 373-6073. Well with con this weekend, I doubt I'll have time for anything else. Yay! I'm off. That is all...

Well, yet another Easter has arrived. I was watching the news last evening and they were having a story on why when you are celebrating easter by hunting for eggs, you should remember the true meanings behind the holiday, christ and all that. Well this is inaccurate. Easter refers to an early European 'heathen' religious holiday stolen and adopted by the Catholics. Why is it that modern Christians not understand this? Sad I think. My family wants me to join them in an Easter celebration. I have to decline. Although there will be free candy and food, I must send my mother along by herself. I have more important things to accomplish. Con is less than a week away! Matt, Omeed, Vang, want to come? I will be happy to show you around. Even if it is only for a short period of time. You can find directions at www.midsouthcon.org. Or you could just ask me. I'll call you in a little while anyhow. Ciao. Current Mood: cheerfulMarch 22nd, 2005: Jason's Father's Grave exhumed! Super swine was real, experts say ALAPAHA, Georgia (AP) -- A team of National Geographic experts has confirmed south Georgia's monster hog, known to locals as Hogzilla, was indeed real -- and really, really big. They also noted the super swine didn't quite live up to the 1,000-pound (450-kilogram), 12-foot (3.6-meter) hype generated when Hogzilla was caught on a farm last summer and photographed hanging from a backhoe. Donning biohazard suits to exhume the behemoth's smelly remains, the experts estimated Hogzilla was probably only 7 1/2 to 8 feet (2.25 to 2.4 meters) long, and weighed about 800 pounds (360 kilograms). The confirmation came in a documentary aired Sunday night on the National Geographic Channel; it will be rebroadcast Wednesday and Saturday. "He was an impressive beast. He was definitely a freak of nature," said documentary producer Nancy Donnelly. She said Hogzilla's tusks -- one measuring nearly 18 inches (46 centimeters) and the other nearly 16 inches (41 centimeters) -- set a new Safari Club International North American free-range record. That wasn't good enough for Ken Holyoak, owner of the 1,500-acre (600-hectare) fish farm and hunting preserve where Hogzilla was shot by guide Chris Griffin. "I need to stress that they did not have that much to work with, seeing as how the poor beast had been underground for nearly six months," he said Monday. Holyoak said Hogzilla weighed in at half a ton on his farm scales, and that he personally measured the hog's length at 12 feet (3.6 meters) while the freshly killed beast was dangling by straps from a backhoe. "As with any organic being after death, tissues will decompose and the body will atrophy, making actual measurements change over time," Holyoak said. "Have you ever seen a raisin after it was a grape?" Donnelly said the experts allowed for some shrinkage in making their final estimate. Despite the dispute, this town 180 miles (290 kilometers) south of Atlanta has already adopted Hogzilla as its own. It went with a Hogzilla theme for its fall festival, with a parade featuring a Hogzilla princess, children in pink pig outfits and a float carrying a Hogzilla replica. "Our insides were just bubbling," said Darlene Turner, who hosted a party to watch the documentary Sunday night. "At first, I was afraid it might be an embarrassment. But now I wish everybody could see the documentary. It would take the doubt out of people's minds."

This will be the latest landmark release in the award-winning franchise that has sold a staggering 16 million units worldwide.

This time period features stunning scenes, from towering European cathedrals to courageous tribes of Native Americans, and spectacular combat with Industrial Age units like rifled infantry, cavalry and tall ships bristling with cannons. Age of Empires III will once again demonstrate Ensemble Studios' reputation for excellence and innovation in the real-time strategy (RTS) genre. The game will set a new standard for visual quality and amaze players with detail never before seen in an RTS. Age of Empires III will also excite strategy gamers with new game-play elements, including the concept of a "Home City," new civilizations, units, technologies and an immersive new single-player campaign that will span three generations.

 You are Pedro Sanchez and love holy chips. Which Napoleon Dynamite character are you? brought to you by Quizilla Current Mood:  sickMarch 20th, 2005:
So today is the day of coughing every 5 minutes, for 10 minutes... damnit... My chest is really starting to hurt. I probably need to see a doctor. Hell, maybe I'll just die and Jason and Mom will get off my back. I keep thinking moving will be a good idea, then I think it'll be a really bad idea. I'm not sure what to do. Spend 8000 a quarter on school and housing for 3 years or 3600 per semester for school and housing for 1 and a half or 2 years, then however much U of M costs. It would be a whole lot easier to afford school living here then in Washington. Damnit, I'm not sure what to do. Advice anyone? C'mon, you guys love to talk. Current Mood:  coldMarch 19th, 2005:
Had a fight with mom, fun. Good thing we don't stay angry for long. Still sick, I hate this. I need to work!!!! Current Mood: sickCurrent Music: Red Hot Cili Peppers - Love Rollercoaster March 18th, 2005:
As it seems, I have the flu. Isn't that grand? This is horribly inconvenient. I need the hours at work. I'm going to open a bank account later today. Perhaps just a savings account. Maybe at the Memphis Area Teacher's Credit Union. I need a way to save money. Anyone know of anyone willing to help me fund my move to Washington? I need to come up with like $850 to pay off a few things before I go. Mainly STCC, but a couple of other things. Anyway, Let me know. Any amount will do, I am accepting any type of donation. Just drop me a line. ;D Current Mood:  hopefulCurrent Music: Computer Hum.... March 13th, 2005:

I've been back reading all these messages between Matt and Jason. Oddly humorous. Jason, some advice, don't encourage him. He's better at insulting than you are and he doesn't take things personally. My dirt devil broke today. Poor thing has worked for like 8 or 9 years. I'll bury it with the rest of the broke things, in da garbage! Wow eventful day. That is all...
