If it’s safe for birds to land on power lines, why don’t they train birds to fix them when they break?

Yesterday was Sunday. Marvelous day. I spent it inside on my computer. I’ve been playing a new game. My new addiction. FreeAllegience. It’s free. It’s part RTS part space shooter. Possibily the coolest online multiplayer game ever. It is a shame that a lot of people still don’t play it. It does the game no justice.
Robin Williams was on HBO last night, doing a stand-up comedy bit. I have realized that people have a valid reason for not liking him. He uses the F word, “vagina”, and “penis” EXCESSIVELY. It’s basically a 15-year-old teenager standing on stage and saying whatever they like. Most of it is rather distasteful. I think he is on drugs, because he just cannot stop talking at insane speeds.
There was one bit where he said he was on a German talk show and the Germans asked him why he thought Germans weren’t funny. And he said, “Don’t you think you killed all the funny ones?” They returned rather puzzled looks. I will give him credit for that.
I have no way of printing my essay for English, and it is due today. I also have a website due tomorrow and a program due Wednesday. Horray.
My school has excellent security for their network. They use a company which returns a bunch of false servers when you try and ping them. You have to enter a password in your browser to access the wireless. I am bewildered because I have never seen this until I came here.
For my journal my teacher wanted me to write in a paper journal. I will ask her if I can just print this out and turn it in. I hope she says yes. I have the burden of forgetfulness. I can’t remember to write in the dang thing. I’m always on the internet, so that’s why I’m doing it here.
I just attempted to smash a gumball with my prescription bottle. The bottom was rather brittle, and shattered on impact. The gumball became lodged in my bottle, and I had to transfer the remaining medication to a zippy baggy. God I’m stupid. Why am I still alive?
xD
Survival of the fittest? Fit to do silly things, I say.
My biology teacher said he used to be a business major until he “saw the light” and switched to biology. He then urged us to change our majors. Of course, everyone in the room laughed. It’s a general ed biology class. Everyone hates it.
I downloaded Mozilla Thunderbird. I put all my email addresses on it. It is really convenient. I like it a lot better than I did outlook. All the addons and themes. My email now fits in with all the cool kids.
I am major procrastinating with my art project. I was supposed to build a website with a flash header. Ugh. I thought it would be easier than it is. It is not.
I have recently seen the light with freeware games. I’m downloading more stuff to fill up my block of procrastination in my daily planner. I only wish my internet was faster. Some of these game files are only 50mb and are still failing to download within a decent time period.
BAM. Potatoes.
I had a lot of time to think over my break. I went on vacation to Oregon to see my family and my auntie had no wireless internet. People in Oregon are a lot nicer than those in California. They also have enough sense to lock their wireless router signals. People on bicycles wore HELMETS. They also used flashing lights and wore safety clothes when they rode at night. Crazy stuff.
We took our family dog. He is a almost-five-year-old Silver Merle Great Dane. I was able to walk him at night. I even saw other people walking their dogs at night. We were never cut-off in traffic once in Portland. There is also an EXTREME difference in air quality in the states. And that is why trees are our friends.
I watched some tv. I was pondering this Pumpkin Chunkin show on the Science Channel and wondered if it was possible to genetically engineer a pumpkin which produced a large amount of iron, and put it in a Gauss Cannon. Super high-tech sci-fi stuff. :D
Fred Meyers is an amazing store. It is roughly the size of two WinCo stores, and has everything. The store I went in was so expansive, that I joked about getting a workout while shopping. It combines a Raley’s, Target, Walmart(auto and garden center), and some clothes store which my male mind cannot name. I bought some gel foot sole pads. Tax-free. Yay Oregon.
I did not do a single bit of schoolwork while I was there. I am now panicking to get some done, because it is due relatively soon tomorrow morning. That’s the cost of my semi-stress-free vacation.
While at my aunt’s house, my cousin/her grandson came over for the day. We rampaged around the neighborhood in an old wheelchair, pushing each other up and down hills and attempting insane stunts. We also rummaged through my aunts basement of wonders, and found some old and interesting treasures. It is from the buildup of my aunt’s children’s junk that they left there from their respective childhoods. I think my cousin’s real reason for going into the basement was to avoid his sister, her friend, and my sisters. Four girls in the same room is pretty annoying.
In a crafty manner, I came home with more cash than I went with. We went “shopping” and I “didn’t like anything I saw” which was true; we went to an outlet mall with 75% clothes stores, 15% restaurants/candy shops, 2% cell phone stores, 2% brand name specialty stores, and pet store, the last 1%. I tucked away my shopping money and my lender did not complain. I hope that they won’t either.
I must now write a paper about art. This is the hardest paper that I have ever written. I do not like art, nor do I have any favorite artists. My teacher is open-ended, so I think I will write about not liking art, and why I think that modern art is over-rated.
Cheers.
So. What’s up world?
I have finally found out how to figure out what songs to download. I’ll just listen to an internet radio station and record the titles of the songs I like in the stickies app for Win 7.
I’ve been having fun with Yahoo Answers. A girl asked how she could become content with a single account on multiple websites. The first answerer said, “Kill yourself. Sometimes the only way to get something right is to start fresh.” I then proceeded to post the main chorus of “Suicide is Painless” by Johnny Mandel and Mike Altman. Great stuff. Of course this scared the girl shitless. And our comments were removed by Yahoo.
How are you supposed to answer a question like that? STOP MAKING ACCOUNTS BITCHPLEASE?
Oh well. It was fun. That was my afternoon.
My friend called me a miser today. The situation was my inability to buy a set of armor in Guild Wars, which tend to be rather expensive if you’re getting max stats.
I pay to go to the doctor. I’m not that cheap. Am I?
I have begun to speak in Java syntax while playing online games. I wonder if this would work in the real world, for say, ordering a cheeseburger?
public class hungry {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String status=Scanner.nextint();
String number2= ‘Burger, Fries, and a Whole Lotta Shake!’;
if status = hungry;
number2.speak(withCheese);
else;
System.out.println(“I got satisfaction.”);
}
}
Yeah. There’s how to screw with someone’s day. Maybe you could utter, “I would like half a 1100 McNuggets, please.” That would definitely cause a few puzzled faces.
Ok. V_V Let the weirdness end. For today, anyway.
I wish my college teachers would make learning fun. Especially a certain BIOLOGY teacher of mine. Grr.
I am drowning in a sea of homework atm. You can’t always get what you want.
I’ve been listening to some internet radio stations lately. I find that it is easier to have someone play music for me than actually keeping up with pop culture and finding music that I like. Trident Layers aren’t too bad. I found out how to make a serial connection to my phone over bluetooth. This opens up so many possibilities for me, as I am learning Java. Yey.
What the world needs now.
Is love, sweet love.
No, not just for some, but for everyone.

I have been watching the military channel lately. I have come to the conclusion that the military is brainwashing its soldiers, indirectly. What? I just found this out? YES. Don’t judge me. It is also a most necessary evil.
There is no honor in war. War is a method of getting rid of people we don’t like. It’s a legitimate reason, too. There are some pretty insane cultures out there. Some don’t have the morals that we as Americans do, and that threatens them. Scares them. They don’t understand why we are so successful and take offense by our ideals and ways of going into their countries and killing them. We want oil. What are they going to do with it? They’re a third world country anyway.
How are we as a civilization going to accomplish tasks without war? The government would be powerless without thugs to back them up. Negotiation is futile. One side will eventually break down and decide they want it all. The British decided they wanted to control baby America and our resources. They went all in. Luckily we were so far away from their homeland that we kicked their ass. The French also decided that they wanted more that Britain, so they joined our side for a while. The Japanese also wanted a part in Hitler’s “new reich” so they bombed pearl harbor. Hitler decided Germany wasn’t enough for him so he took all the surrounding countries. The Spanish fought the Indians because they wanted resources as well. They saw the opportunity and took it.
For the oddest reason, the United States has kicked everyone’s ass. I think this is because our morals are better than anyone elses. If we didn’t have that hope of freedom, returning to our families, and being able to speak our minds, we probably could not kick as much ass as we do. Until someone else comes up with better morals than us, or our society falls apart, we will continue to kick ass for as long as possible.
War is terrible. It is emotionally devastating. It is traumatizing killing other human beings. There is currently no better alternative to war. The only way to prepare for war is being “brainwashed” by the military, to get into the mindset of war. It’s a damn good system too. We keep kicking ass, right?
I never want to have to participate in war. Other people are kicking ass protecting this cushy lifestyle for us, and that is ok. I could see some honor in doing what no one else will do. That’s cool. I would like to not have that honor. I see some mediation between people who are for the military and against it. Nobody is pro war. In this time it is something that must be done. Has to be done.
It’s kinda like cleaning the toilet. Someday your crap will spill over the rim and stink to high heaven. It is going to get cleaned and you may not be the one to clean it, but it still gets done. And this is the way our world works.
I woke up this morning freaking out. It was 10:15, and class had started five minutes ago. I figured that since I was already late, sleeping in couldn’t hurt. When I next awoke, I learned that there was no school today. LOL. I don’t know what today is…uhh…(glance at bottom left corner of the screen)…Wednesday, let alone what rubbish holiday caused the university to cancel class. Bollocks.
I found a nasty spider in my bed. I’m a terrible person. Let’s just say he/she has fully met my shoe and the linoleum.
I played through Prince of Persia today. This will be my second playthrough. It is a nice game. I love the acrobatics and art style. I wonder why I put it down.
Disney has given me one more reason to hate them. I’ve known about the Sands of Time movie for a while, but I did further research on the movie today. I feel that just by seeing the trailer that I have all the information I need to judge it. CGI moneymaker. I wish some professional freerunning athletes were cast, because Prince of Persia is about acrobatics. What is with all the humans? I only recall fighting them as a protagonist or royal guards in the beginning. I do not remember having over fifty on the screen at one time. It isn’t impossible to have a movie with 4 main actors. I wish the CGI went into drawing monsters instead of fire in the dagger’s handle. I also see degradation of women in the trailer. The attraction towards each other went both ways, not just the prince towards the princess. Where’s the Persians? All I see is white people.
I am squinting to see the silver lining from this trailer. Why should Disney, of all producers, get to make Prince of Persia? They ruin everything. Universal Studios is the coolest place on Earth. Screw you Disney Land. Although, Epcot was cool. I liked the ride where you were in space. That was about it.
I felt really weird before I went to class today. I didn’t want to go so bad, that it made me sick to my stomach. Awkward. I’ve watched a lot of prank calls lately, on youtube. Some are pretty funny, such as when someone calls two fast food places and gets them to read each others order. Calls where the unsuspecting victim reads out dirty words are also awesome. I’ve seen many videos with public access show hosts going insane over persistent prank callers. They began yelling and generally regretting their lives because of these pranksters. I tend to feel remorse for those whose only callers are these pranksters. To rid my guilt from laughing at these people I’ll say to myself that the shows are shit anyways. Guilt fixed.
Today in Guild Wars I beat a few missions. My friends helped me FINALLY beat a treacherous bit. I also did some by myself. Basically so-so.
My writing noodle is really off today. I don’t know what depressant I’m on, but it’s a strong one. Maybe later journal. Maybe later.
