I’m going to sleep. It has been a busy day getting readings out of the way. And it’s not even 10 oclock yet.

oh well. I guess I’m getting old at the ripe age of 24.

I read all but two essays for my new quarter’s classes at Pacifica. This time around the three classes I have are Greek and Roman Mythology 1, The History of Depth Psychology, and Rites and Rituals.

Today I read almost all of my rites and rituals readings. I now know the general initations involved in childhood to adulthood, consecrating a new tribal leader, some of the ancient mysteries, some of the cults of the mid east region, and a great deal more about Australian rituals and rites of tribes there that I really need to know.

And technically, they weren’t very in depth descriptions of what was going on, rather it was explaining the author’s ideas of the theories behind the rituals. Most of which I don’t really agree with. We’ll see what they have to say in the classes next week.

Some videos for you:

translation via Julie A. can be found here, if they’re not up, they soon will be.

Also, via Sarcasmo’s Corner: Dogs who know Judo. The best episodes are the third and fourth ones, the first two are nothing that I was impressed with.

I’ll be honest. I don’t give a damn about wineries and direct selling to consumers…but this picture of a pissed off shackled grape is so cool I had to put it up. Is he mad cause he’s shackled, and he’s pointing at whomever did it to kick his ass?

Or is he mad because his disco dancin’ feet were stopped by the chains of injustice?

Whichever it is, it is safe to assume that you do NOT want to get on this grape’s bad side.

“Well, Hello Mr. Fancy Pants! I’ve got news for you pal, you ain’t leading but two things right now: Jack and Shit…and Jack left town.”

Originally Froyd’s Rants was created on January 16th of 2004. So I missed the ORIGINAL date of creation. That, however, was using Blogger to do things.

TODAY is the real anniversary of Froyd’s Rants in its current incarnation. January 26th!

Happy 1 Year’s Birthday to Froyd’s Rants!

I need some. Must remember to buy some.

Bemidji finally has a great bar. Guinness on Tap, well lit, good music, what more needs be said?

you’ll notice I didn’t call it an ‘irish’ bar, because let’s face it: it isn’t. There’s too much open space for it to be a pub, and they don’t have any warm guinness on tap. That’s right you heard me: no warm guinness. How can you be an irish pub without warm guinness?

I asked the waitress about it and she gave the history and reason why Irish and English pubs had warm guinness because of the lack of refrigeration. Like I give a damn about WHY they have it, the deal is that the IRISH PUBS(and english) HAVE IT, and this place doesn’t.

So in all actuality, Brigid’s Cross: The best bar in Bemidji, but still a long cry from being an Irish pub.
