Apparenty Ryan's stupidity has scared everyone away. There is a lesson to be learned here. Don't ever meet Adam Wagner,his influence may be too much for your brain to handle.
Ok then, So whats up little bloggy. In the past 4 days I've done some of the most bring things ever and to make sure boredom goes around I will tell you guys about it. Most of you know what happened to me friday, if not then go to the RRboard. Saturday I played the guitar, played some Sim Golf and finished working on my recent clients web-site (www.impba.net). Then that night I was supposed to go see the USM performance of "Dinner with Friends" I've never heard of it and it sounded kind of intriguing. Only one problem however. The building that it was supposed to be in was no where to be found on my campus map. then i looked up the building online and all that I could find about it is that in 2000 it was scheduled to be destroyed to make room for some other construction. Then I found an old ma that told me where it was and I don't remember it being buldozed quite yet. I figured I had nothing to lose it was a slow rainy night and i like rain so lets take a stroll in the rain to this building. I get there and the building exists and even has fliers all over it for stuff so you figure its is still a current running building, however all the lights are off and all the doors are locked. It was fun, I love walking around in the rain, it doesn't matter if you even have an umbrella, people still look at you strange, always wondered why.
Yesterday I finished up 3 of the 4 videos for the Radiah Interactive CD. The feature video is great, I will reveal nothing about it till I show it this weekend to everyone. Today I went to class, then came back and finished up some small work, then watched Boston Public while eating pizza, which is something I've not done in the long time (eating pizza part, that is). Then I played some Mah Jongg and got the most insane score yet, I can't believe I even got it cause i can specifiacly remember going slow and taking my time. Its weird cause everytime I get a top score its usually a game where I can remember messing up and when I try to go really fast is when I mess up. If anyone wants to know I finished in 2minutes and 19 seconds. Score of 139. I think my next goal aside from matching that time is to get 2:10 flat. I think 2 minutes flat may actually not be possibble unless I start playing everyday and keeping myself on my toes and full of caffiene or something. So anyway thats all for now i'm gonna go find something to do.

For Creative Markting class I had to come up with a reality TV show. Would you watch it?
1. While the Chance Presents Itself
Came up with the idea from numerous Japanese Animes, some movies, and a few reality shows. It can be closely related to Joe Millionaire but really isn’t much like it. The idea is unlike any of the other reality shows in that there is no games or elimination. There will be a big mansion in which we will allow 7-9 males and 15-20 females to all live in the mansion. Everyone will have his or her own separate room. This is not a scandal show like most or a shock like fear factor and survivor. It will be a simple catch; the males will range in age from 19-27 same for females. Of the males only one thing will be revealed to the audience and the girls both; their salaries, ranging from millionaire to a student. The idea is not to deceive and see if love will conquer over money like Joe Millionaire. It will be to watch how the females react to knowing what they know. Will they try and find who has the money instead of just trying to get to know people. If one of the males chooses to act childish and play games all the time and have fun, will they choose to have fun or react negatively because of the refusal to act serious? Not only that it will be interactive because the audience will not know the secrets either. There is no member removal time limit, people are allowed to try and leave. If anyone wants to leave the show then it will go up to a vote where everyone votes on whether or not they will allow the person to leave. This will be a great twist allowing annoying members to remain on and annoy and also allowing people to keep the ones they want on the show. The voting will not be public, people will just vote on keep or allow leaving, and then only the result will be shown, how many votes either way. Unlike other shows when people leave there will be a section showing the leaver everything including a video made from each male, the video will be pre made before the show and shown to every female when she leaves that way its not direct to each girl and also shows how the person really is and then the female’s reaction. Another catch is that any male has the ability to call events into action, such as a party or game; they can make it up as they go or can even play hide and seek. Eventually there will be a finale where a deadline is known; keying that it’s not for them to choose or be forced to do anything except move out of the mansion. The key is to find out who does what while they have a chance and what kind of future they have. I think this concept would work well because its not shock treatment but instead almost more like a few seasons of a sitcom where we watch how relationships evolve and why they evolve like they do. And without the audience knowing the secrets it adds depth to the reason to watch because they will be on a want to know basis along with the people in the show.

The only thing I can think of is that he hates college kids. Think about it. You said he looked like a hard-worker guy. Maybe he resents a lost opportunity that he once had and realizes he'll be sweating every day for the rest of his life. Maybe he just hates college kids in general. Hates college. Hates USM. Maybe he's an Ole Miss grad. I'm sure his boss is some college graduate and he feels the only difference between him and his bosses is a college degree, or to him, a piece of paper. Perhaps at that time, you represented that piece of paper.
From now on, I'm spitting on all rock stars, major league baseball players, college basketball coaches, and professional sports writers. Screw them for doing something I'd love to do!

Dude, seriously what the hell is wrong with people? I just don't understand what I've done to not be able to comprehend things people say or do. This incident isn't 'in depth' at all whatsoever; it goes like this.
I had an economics exam today at 2:00. I flew through it like something that flies through things. I got out at 2:28 and was on my way back to the dorm. I wasn't singing, I wasn't wearing any offensive shits or have my hair in any stupid fashion. I wasn't talking to anyone, it was just me with my glasses on and my schoolbag on my back. I was crossing Hardy street minding my own business I got stuck on the median so I had to wait for trafiic to hole up on the other side so I could cross. I notice cars and trucks and a big 18 wheeler dump truck (you know what i'm talking about they are too big to be regular sized). So anyway as this dude passes he freaking tries to spit on me.
What the f?
I never did anything to this dude, I didn't provoke him. Imagine if it did actually hit me, I may have yelled and screamed or actually copied the number on the back of his truck. Is his job worth spitting on some random kid that he doesn't even know. I could be playing Sim Golf or doing something else with my time but instead his actions have changed my entire day because I had to say something about it. I don't know about any of you guys, but I consider spitting at someone to be one of the biggest negative things you can do, up until you hit them (spitting is right before hitting someone anyways or a reason to fight back in the day). Now this has got me thinking about the possible reason he did it. It can't be ethnic differences, he was a caucasian guy. Unless he has the amazing ability to tell that I'm Irish/German by looking at me for 5 seconds. He looked kinda hard worker maybe white trashy, unshaven dirty hat and shirt from the few seconds I saw him, maybe he has something against the fact that I am clean chaven and my clothes were clean. Maybe he has a thing against college kids for some reason. Maybe he hates pedestrians all together... who knows. Either way this was really stupid and I hope none of you spit on people, hehe.

"i hate being asked the same stupid questions over and over and over again"
Yeah, the people at work are so bored with their lives that they always resort to, "So... how's your wife??" You know? I haven't really seen her since you asked me this morning! I CAN'T TAKE IT!! They don't like me. Why pretend? It won't bother me.
This whole weekend was pretty cool. It was all supposed to some to a close with a relaxing viewing of my first Cubs game of the year. It's Spring Training, sure, but it's only 2 weeks away from the season, so the line-up is pretty much set.
First there was the golf, then the haircut, then practice, then Hooters, then sleep... ahhh sleep... then wake-up, cause HEY! The Cubs come on today! But first there was the parade. I was hitting the deck left and right. Carrots clocked my head, cabbages socked my eye. It was a produce free-for-all. It was like fighting the war in freaking Sav-A-Center! Since we were in Arabi, the rain really only started at the very end of the parade, around 1:45. I has 15 minutes to catch the game. Got home, turned on the TV, the Cubs got 3 easy outs in the 1st inning, of course. The Cubs come to bat. Hill grounds out, Gonzales flies out, up comes Sosa. 3-2 count. Then... stupid... ass... RAIN! NOOO!! I hate rain!!! That was all I got to watch. They canceled the game. No Cubs for me! Bullshit rain. It better watch its back, nigga.
Let's pray that our current car repairs are under the $300-$400 range, huh? Amen.

Holy crap, never in a long while have I ever put so much thought into a post. Before I get to the core of it however I want to say that Sportscenter has been on a huge role recently. Yesterday they did a whole 8 minute piece on the incident between Harvey the Hound (Calgary flames mascot) and the edmenton coach cause they were meetin the first time since the tounge pulling incident. If that wasn't good enough today they ran a piece concerning Dusty Baker's kid being banned from baseball and it even included an interview.
Anyway on to what is going to be a good post for conversation. I just finishined a night of work and relaxing wile watching TV. I watched Dave letterman cause Mitch Hedgeberg was on and also Elvis Costello was the host and I didn't expect it but he was a great host, not sure if its was god writing or good adlibbing but still good. then I go to conan and watch me some conan while flipping to channell 98 where we are getting free movies all week and I was watching Snow Dogs with Cuba Gooding Jr. It was actually a lot better than I expected. Anyway on one of my flip backs to conan I saw a snippet saying to watch Carson later cause he was having that great dude from the pianist and some controversial musical group..... Then Stargate came on so I was flipping between Carson and Stargate I caught most of interview with the pianist dude who I really like but keep forgetting his name.
Sorry about this pause but Sportscenter kept distracting me cause they kept saying Wagner. I never knew I owned a college.
Anyway as of about 25 minutes ago I saw what was supposedly one of the most controversial groups and a controversial performance. Some of you may know them but I assume most don't. the group I saw was called t.A.T.u. (pronounced tatoo). For those who don't know, here is the premise of the controversy. Apparently its 2 teen lesbians who sing about being lebian. ooohhh controversial, I think I've seen worse at espresso. Ok so then right in the middle of their song they go into this supposed passionate kiss, and then continue to sing the song some times occasionally giving each other look overs or holding hands. Oh yeah they are russian, I have no idea if this has any bearing whatsoever.
Ok so heres the deal in my head. I of course wasn't really all that shocked by the performance, I was instead intrigued by the song I heard cause it wasn't all that bad, however I couldn't tell how much of the vocal was due to vocal effects which I could blantantly hear. Not that i'm against effects or any music that uses them but when a group features 2 people and they both only sing, they damn well better be able to sing.
Ok so after 20 minutes of internet research and mp3 downloading here are some of my conclusions. The song they performed "All the Things She Said" is easily the best song and the album does not deserve more than a dollar's worth for a purchase. The songs aren't horrible but quite a few of them go over the border and into strong techno. the reason I was originally intrigued by the way was because while they had 2 singers in the performance, there were also 3 band member (probrably hired) completely rocking out in the back, and not heavy metal, I mean a real rock out. so as for the musical asspect of my research.... its much better than Kelly Osbourne.
Now for the information research. It turns out that the group has been together for a while in Russia where they hail from. they started when they were 15 and 16 and of course they had a lesbian thing back then. If the fact that 2 underage girls are making out on stage and sing to everyone about why people should accept them as they are and want to be all the rest of the information just gets worse and worse. Firstly they are 17 and 18 now, and still in my mind have a problem with underage sexual relations if they wanna get all political. Next, they didn;t start this group themselves. The 2 girls tried out at some audition for some writer/producer guy who auditioned almost 500 people according to the article. Then here is an exact quote from one of the articles:
"Despite the song's theme, however, Shapovalov denies that Tatu's Lena Katina, 16, and Yulia Volkova, 15, are artists whose work is as single-themed as a debut song about a lesbian relationship might lead some to conclude."
Now i may have completely lost my mind but every damn song on the album is about being a lesbian or having a crush on another girl specificaly saying that the singer is a girl. Not only are they one minded about their songs but then I come to find out that they don't even write their freaking music or lyrics. here is another quote that actually made me fall out of my chair:
"Although Lena Katina and Julia Volkova don't write any of the songs on 200 KM/H in the Wrong Lane, they sing with a conviction and passion that bring the songs life and convey meaning."
How much does it take to convey lesbianism. Not only that, how in the hell do you do it. Keep in mind we live in a world where some people live lies and some people are the greatest damn actors ever and can convey any feeling on command, (Watching Terrell pretend to be drunk isn't far from what it imitates, and if one day Adam told me he's never been drunk ever, I would have to believe him because I simply can't tell the difference.) Don't worry i'll stay on track here. Not only do they not only write their songs about how lesbian they are but their kiss I saw actually looked more rehearsed than Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie's. Not saying it was displeasing to watch, just rehearsed. Then I come to find they did that when they performed on the BBC as well. I'm sure they do it everytime, oh by the way they perform in tight white blouses and school girl skirts. Then over the internet on a board I get this bit of information:
"There's some speculation in the tabloids that they're not lesbian at all, and they have boyfriends back in Russia."
this is further pushed in an artivle I read written when the group was big in Russia back when they were 15 and 16 and it specificaly quotes one girl saying she doesn't have the other girl as a girlfriend. So this all leads me to believe its just an act. And as a big giant conclusion I draw, I've realized that this group is just another freakning Anti-Flag or Rage or Marylin Manson. The problem with tatU however in my view is not the lesbian song theme but there are a hella lot of suicide references and themes in the songs and it is not exactly something I would want my daughter or sibling listening to at a very impressional age, (It's on TRL as a hit now, I'm sure the album is now selling.)
Here however is my thinking: Is it really worth it. If you aren't really a lesbian, or don't really share any intamacy with someone, why pretend for all the money in the world, so much so that ever trying to have another relationship will ruin your gimmick and career. Not only this but on these boards some morons start arguing about how lesbians can still have boyfriends back home. So now they are just stupid. they aren't even lesbian at this point they are bi-sexual and would have to sing all new songs, hehe. Not only that, why can't we have any 1 sided lesbian thoughts, I'm not exactly the biggest homosexual supporter mostly because anytime some big gay rights group tried to prove a pont they completely fall to pieces. Why can't a gay couple ever stay together or stay completely gay. I mean its almost a pont where being gay almost means being a whore as well. first it was blamed on not allowing gay marriage but thast point is well beyond us by now. So anyway I can't make a negative gay comment without mentioning my hatred for Meridith Brooks (i think thats her name anyways) anyway she's completely wants Bruce Springsteen but is the biggest lesbian gay rights activist you will ever find. I'm not sure if I hate her more because of what she says or what she does. Find anything on VH1 and shes there shes like the madonna for vh1 and everywhere she is she mentions how great bruce springsteen is and how much hes done for music. Come on lady how much can you possibly do everyone does a little part. anyways she was the one who had this big escapade on national TV saying how a gay couple can raise a kid just as well as any other couple. her g/f got artifically pregant with david crosby's semen and not more than a year after the baby was born the 2 freaking seperated. So much for her stupid theory.
annnnyway, back to the original point. Just like political punk rock and hardcore rock and hard punk and what-not. How screwed up are these girls gonna be when they grow up and reliaze what they did. No one ever in the history of mankind has looked back upon teenage years and said I did everything exactly perfect like I wanted. If they are lesbian then more argument against me, but if it's just an act, geez how are they gonna explain anything or get anyone to trust them. How stupid do you think Anti-Flag is gonna feel in 10 years. Do you really think they are gonna keep going that long with their message.
No and here is why. When you pass 40 and you still have a message you are no longer considered normal. You become the town freak, every town has one, they are so adamant about a certain idea and you only live that idea, no one knows how you survive but you are soo into your idea that you bug all the young-uns about it. Ok I've just realized how long this thing is. By the way Anti-Flag and t.A.T.u. should tour together, think of all the young minds they could warp.... umm i mean influence, hehe. punk rock for life!!!!!

" i really love christina agularia but I wish she'd stop showing me her vagina" - rosie perez on david lettermen.
I love dave letterman and all but this guest host thing is great. its almost like, what would the show be like if i had it. or more like host daves shopw for a night contest and these are all the winners.
By the way if you are bored you should try this thing I'm doing right now along with ryan, brian, ben, and terrell, and anyone else I can get to do it. It's called Nation States a.k.a. Jennifer Government. It's based on a Max Barry Book. anyways if you go to the following site
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi
what you do is you create your own nation. you name it come up with national animal and if you want create your flag. Everyday you get an issue your way and you have to make a govermental stand/issue on it. That issue effects your nation in every way in crime economy goverment and other things. You can also change it so that you can get 2 issues per day or per week day and even click "on vacation" and it won't bother you until you come back and un click it.
you should check it out. or at least check my country or at least my flag hehe. The Kingdom of Weenie
http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/target=display_nation/nation=weenie
So far i've decided on 3 issues 1 was confusing but the other 2 were me outlawing euthanasia and making marijuana legal in private homes.
Here are some others:
Terrell - http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/pin=15223681/page=display_nation/nation=subliminal_weight_loss
Ryan Michon - http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/pin=15223681/page=display_nation/nation=human_understanding
Ben - http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/pin=15223681/page=display_nation/nation=boobietime
My international team is keeping a tab on them and Ben has recently become a UN member. (I however am just not jopining the UN right now I'm a loner baby not a rebel)
I'll leave you guys now with my country's national slogan:
Left Knee ......... Right Knee ........ Wee Nie

Since Brett is without a computer this week, I will post an honorary Brett post. Just think of me as Brett!
-------
So yeah, I'm on Spring Break this week. Yesterday, Sebastian climbed on me like I was a mountain. Basically, he was pissed because Michael and I kicked his ass in Garage Hockey.
The Saints are signing some kick-ass free agents! They signed Jackson Hunt, a kicker from Norfolk State. They might sign this linebacker named Doofus Squatley today. And then they're bringing in the top free-agent safety on the market, Slim Jim Backslap, for a visit later this week.
I wish the USM Lady Eagles' season wasn't over. I wish they would've upset Cincinnati and then 2 other teams to make it to the NCAA Tournament. It would've been great to have to leave Spring Break early to go to Atlanta or some crap to watch them lose by 30 to like UConn or Tennessee or something. I love women's basketball. It's so energetic, with all the dunks and the above-the-rim play! I guess I'll have to focus on softball for now, though. Maybe we can start a softball pep band so I can spend more nights watching spectacular athletic events!
I love Rocky Gioe. sigh.....
And my brother Michael. He's so cool. He's the greatest. Not like that asshole Todd. Todd is gay.
I wonder when Reel Big Fish is coming out with a new album? I can't wait!
OK, that's all for now, but I'll write more tonight. I PROMISE!

For some reason, I felt like going around to see which domain names are taken. In my head, I assume almost anything I can come up with is taken. So, here, I will list the .com's that actually have material up. I will split them up as "taken" and "not taken." Of course some of the "not takens" are being reserved (like you could buy it probably) but are not actually being used right now...
Taken
------
yomomma.com - actually just a site for a dude that works for Craig Kilborn.
weirdos.com - i think it's a band. i'm not browsing long enough to find out.
pornsucks.com - ha. witty guys. if you think 'porn sucks' and you go here to find people who agree, you'll be surprised. It's really porno.com! what a dirty trick.
brettsucks.com - another trick! I thought they'd agree with me that 'Brett sucks,' but it's just another porn site (seahorse.com) that has a million pop-ups.
mysite.com - auction secrets? your site sucks.
feet.com - damn. it's Just For Feet's site. If you take out the "J" and put an "L" it's a whole new store... but we already knew that.
allen.com - "customer relationship management." huh?
dana.com - "Dana Corporation is a global leader..." Its only downfall is clowns.
deuce.com - they're just being greedy. there's nothing here.
spit.com - this isn't about spitting. it's about construction! the internet is all about trickery.
abcdefg.com - Hooked on Phonics.
eat.com - Ragu.
Not Taken
----------
holyshit.com - buy it, dude. "Hurry there is only 1 HolyShit.com!! First come First served."
stinkyfeet.com - "planned for development" but just some links about foot odor right now.
mikeradish.com - all me.
mike.com - you gotta be kidding??
brett.com - i guess you could buy it.
