On Mondays I get out of class around 8:45pm. James called me at 8:55pm asking if I was up for a drink. The answer is obvious to all of you, so I picked him up and we headed for the Penguin. Many beers and a Dixie-Chicken-sandwich later we called it a night. I was home before 11:00pm. I can still get a good night sleep and make it to my 8:00am class tomorrow. I love living this close to work, school, friends, and bars.
NOTE: Jonny Goodnights may make it to my party. And Dr. G may be in town in a few weeks.
This past Saturday I had dinner with my parent and my brother.We got on the topic of voting.I said, I voted for Erskine Bowles, so that I could say foreskin balls, for a few more years.
Ain’t that America? You and me!Ain’t that America?Somethin’ to see baby!Ain’t that America?Home of the free!Lil’ pink houses for you and me!

Thursday, October 14, 2004 I am just keeping my head above water.
40 hours at work and 9 hrs of classes each week, plus I have to watch Lost, ER, Scrubs, Smallville, and the new season of the OC is right around the corner. No really, I watch all those shows. One of the upsides is that I have a job which is flexible enough to allow me to study while at work. For whatever reason I can't ever do school work while other people are around. Not a problem, cause everyone in my department leaves at 5:30pm so I have the rest of the night to write reports, read the chapter, or if I am feeling frisky, I'll do some regression analysis in Excel. That's right I am living the dream.
Well the problem is that recently the powers that be have decided that some folks from our parent department need to come in and help us. I don't mind help, but this is cutting into my private study time. Well as luck would have it there was a scheduling error and I have Friday off. I'm not supposed to be off but that's what the schedule saids. I brought this to the proper person's attention and she asked me if wanted to work or take a vacation day. I took the vacation day before she finished saying the word "day". So YEAH! I have a whole extra day to spend in the computer lab, the University library, and maybe I'll catch a movie.
Friday, October 08, 2004 I want a weighted vest
Me: I used to wear ankle weights when I ran.
Co-Worker: You Run?
Me: I try to.
Co-Worker: You run, like without someone chasing you?
Me: Yes, but usually I am being chased by either inner demons or my own self-hate. Tomato, tomawto.
Wednesday, October 06, 2004 Master Debater (say it fast, it’s funny)
As I judged the debate last night I was disappointed in the performance of everyone involved. I will give both Cheney and Edwards credit for showing up and even for a few well placed jabs at each other. But both lost the debate in my, no where near, humble opinion. First rule of debate club is we do not talk about... ok that joke is played out. So is saying "played out".
There were many cases in which neither of the men answered the question. This pissed me off. Were I moderator, I would have pulled the plug on anyone’s mic if they don’t answer my question. Fuck the "rules" about giving each party the same time. Those bitches better answer the question quickly then get to their party bullshit with whatever time they have left.

Find Your Sun Sign Profile
Capricorn
Practical Capricorn, the tenth sign of the zodiac, represents discipline, ambition, and rationality, making you the most determined and persistent sign of the zodiac. Since you have such an unshakable faith in your own power, you have an extreme capacity for hard work and endurance.
Saturn, the planet of challenges and restrictions, is the ruler of Capricorn. Saturn is sometimes associated with bad luck; however, without the obstacles of Saturn we would never grow and evolve any further, which makes this planet the one that makes us tough, because it teaches us to develop patience and staying power.
Capricorn is the third earth sign, which means you know that you can't live on inspiration alone, and therefore, you have become a down-to-earth realist, and are willing to take care of the daily chores. For that reason, stability and consistency are very important to you.
You, Capricorn, rule the tenth house of the horoscope, a sector associated with career, social standing, and personal aspirations. Furthermore, this house describes your ambitions and goals in life, as well as your public image and your reputation in your social circles.
Capricorn is a cardinal sign, meaning that you don't wait for others to take action - you charge right in making full use of your qualities of pragmatism, efficiency, and diligence.
You have many strengths, dear Capricorn, because with diligence and patience you work to reach the high goals you have set for yourself. Your calm, diplomatic, and pragmatic approach is admirable. On top of that, once you commit to something, you feel responsible and accountable for what you do, which makes you such a trustworthy and loyal person.
However, you also have weaknesses. Sometimes, you can get very pessimistic and skeptical. You don't always have the flexibility to make a quick change in plans if something doesn't work. You are also known for being calculating and despotic at times, as well as cold and indifferent.
