Hey all...
I've been enjoying this video lately. I LOVE ALANIS. I can't get enough. I've always hated that "My Hump" song. It caused me to go from liking the Black Eyed Peas to disliking them. Aparently Alanis didn't think the song was that great either, hence the parody.
Illinois police arrest teen after teacher "disturbed" by essay
CHICAGO — Told to express emotion for a creative-writing class, high-school senior Allen Lee penned an essay so disturbing to his teacher, school administrators and police that he was charged with disorderly conduct, officials said Wednesday.
Lee, 18, a straight-A student at Cary-Grove High School in Cary, Ill., was arrested Tuesday near his home and charged with the misdemeanor for an essay that police described as violently disturbing but not directed toward any specific person or location.
When you're down and you're looking for some cheering up
Then just head right on up to the Candy Mountain Cave
When you get inside you'll find yourself a cheery land
Such a happy and joy-filled and perky merry land
They've got lollypops and gummy drops and candy things
Oh so many things that will brighten up your day
It's impossible to wear a frow in Candy Town
It's the mecca of lovely Candy Cave
They've got jelly beans and coconuts with little hats
Candy Rats, Chocolate Bats it's a wonderland of sweets
Ride the candy train to town and hear the candy band
Candy Bells it's a treat as they march across the land
Cherry ribbons stream across the sky and to the ground
Turn around, it astounds! It's a dancing candy tree
And the candy cave's imagination runs so free
So now Charlie Please will you go into the cave!
Ok. This is terrible. I have never heard of Mike Daisey. He's pretty funny. The group walks out....
People think they have the right to not be offended. They do. However, they are in conrol of that. If you don't want to be offended. Don't go anywhere that might potentially expose you to offensive material. Stay in your house, turn off your TV, tape up your windows and exist there. Or, you might just decide that reality is going to have some offensive bits. DEAL WITH IT.
If you go to a show, you should a) know the show's content b) have respect for the performer.
It was absolutely inexcusable that someone destroyed his papers.
From what I gather, a high school choir group went to the show and their chaperone decided to leave due to the language. The chaperone is the one who poured water. Inexcusable behavior. Showing the kids that it was ok to do that, while protesting a performing artists language. The very DEFINITION of hypocrisy. If you are uninformed enough to take your innocent, virginal, raised-in-a-cave kids to a show with shocking foul language, and then realize your mistake, you should quietly get up and leave. When the artist asks what the heck is wrong, say:
"I made a mistake, I was not aware that this show would have such foul language. I cannot allow the children to see this sort of thing, I apologize for my rudeness, but if I don't leave, I'll be fired from my job."
Then perhaps you won't get people like me feeling that you are a pathetic loser with no redeemable qualities.

I work at a college paper. Tonight I went to a candlelight vigil in memory of those who died at Virginia Tech.
I was just thinking of the men who've made a difference in my life. Alanis has a song called "Unsent". That seems like it would be kind of healthy.

I have an assignment in my journalism class to write about what it means to be gay. I've certainly given it a lot of thought over the years. Perhaps I will start with my story:

Hey there. I had quite a rude awakening this morning. We went out this morning to view the landscaping and cleaning up that had been done on the front yard of the house. It looks pretty awesome by the way.
To start things off, I earned a cowboy badge today. Woke up and was kinda groggy, went to the kitchen for the coffee of the mornin' and standing with my back to the window. Duane looks over my shoulder and says that there is a horse out. I say "don't say things like that!" As it turns out the whole damn herd and most of the boarded horses have broken out of their stalls in the night. We rush outside. Carol is in emergency mode and sets off to seal the ranch so we can minimize the damage. So I run to close the front gate. Some horses are missing. We search around and I spot them. We work together to round them up and get the herd horses and the boarding horses into the pen, I grab a couple of the board horses and get halters on them and lead them into stalls. The horses must have gotten spooked by something; they ran through 4 metal panels which seperate the stalls, and 2 fences. Pulled bolts out of a cement wall. But, it all ended well. One of the horses has some scratches on his hind leg. That was the extent of the damage to the horses. The stalls...well...they got pretty messed up. The others fixed the fences and will probably fix the stalls tomorrow. Me...I'll be back to school tomorrow and be putting the paper out all day.

I had written a detailed account of my trip and what happened, what drama existed, how and why I was happy or miserable and all that good stuff, but I’ll save all that stuff for my book. Here’s the highlights of my trip:

Why the hell didn't I know that Richard Pryor died? Ya know who else died? Pat Morita of Karate Kid fame...and the guy who wrote the Berenstain Bears. It's all very sad. But Richard Pryor. I loved richard Pryor.
Wow. Over a month has passed since my last post. Unreal. I guess that a few things have happened.
Hey!
Gadget of the Day
Not necessarity a gadget, but a great free software suite that matches up very well with Microsoft Office. It'll open all sorts of files and is very easy to use, and it's free. Couldn't be better. A must for people who are going to school and can't afford to shell out $130 for it's Microsoft counterpart. I have nothing against Microsoft, but did I mention free?

No picture today. Just don't have anything interesting.

Hey
Heyla
Hi again...
Hey...
Well, it's late at night. I can't sleep. I just took a sleeping pill and now all I should have to do is put this thing down and go to sleep. I seem to have renewed my interest in Online comix. I just found some that I hadn't seen in a long time by reading my previous posts. Its good to have a blog...i think.
Decided to change the name to Craziness. I wonder if there is any way to have a discussion board put into the blog. I'll have to investigate.
I wish I had a way to hear from others. I guess I could put my email address in the blog. I'm a genius.
