is that even though there is NOTHING GOING ON RIGHT NOW IN MY DAY,

I can still blog about it.

and you’ll still read about it.

it’s sort of like cable tv for deaf people.

the party went better than planned, with quite a few people showing up, grilling tasty food and drinking tastier alcohol. it was a good time had by all. the other groomsmen are pretty coo’ as well.

got all the necessary uniform shit taken care of as well, and my wallet is a hundred bucks lighter. oh well. the sacrifices made for friends and all….and I’m serious about those sacrifices. blood and all.

anyway got back around 4, and I’ve been playing guild wars since. that game is tons of fun if you haven’t been checking the blog in previous weeks to find that out.

and because I’ve got the time now, I’ll be starting up the senior project blog again, under a new name:
the book project.

I’ve added some links to the side on that blog, so if you wanted to you could read the chapters that were written a year and a half ago in order.

I will point out that there have been major revisions since these, and another quarter of the book has been added on. The chapters so far on the blog represent one half of one fourth of the total book. that translates to roughly one eighth of the book.

give or take. maybe more, maybe less. but now with that blog starting up again, perhaps I can finish the book sometime in the future rather than looking at it now as a time issue. I’ll have a blog to update now. we shall see.

some guy is bitching because a woman driver is 100 lbs lighter than he is, thus she can race faster.

My response to this guy: Lose some weight, fatty.

$7

split three ways is roughly $2.33 per person.

yeah, so I’ll admit, I bought $5 worth of lottery tickets, my mom bought $5 worth, and a lady at work bought $5 worth, and we all went in together.

we’ll split it three ways if we win.

doubtful, but man….you can’t win if you don’t play.

man. over 200 million dollars in the lottery right now. I’m trying to get some people to pitch in cash for the tickets here at work, and then split it however many ways.

even if it were a tenth of 200 million, figuring after taxes it’d be something like 7 million dollars.

This brings up an interesting meme to try and start off on the blogosphere:

What are the top five things you would do if you won 100 million dollars?

1. Quit this piece of shit job
2. Pay off my student loans
3. Start a Publishing Company
4. Pay off all of my close family’s loans/mortgages
5. Buy a house

what the hell are they doing casting sean william scott(stifler) and johnny knoxville as bo and luke????

and jessica simpson as daisy duke???

WHAT THE BLAZING HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD????

55 pages into the norton edition(give me a break, it was busy at work tonight), I have found so far the only reason to have read this far in a very funny quote.

“So soon as I hear that such or such a man gives himself out for a philosopher, I conclude that, like the dyspeptic old woman, he must have ‘broken his digester.’”

so I’m looking over the ‘responsibilities’ of the best man on several sites on the net…here are a few:

Before the Day:
Arranges the bachelor party.
done to the best of my ability.
He attends the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
ok.
Select a gift for the couple.
WHOA. What the bloody hell? I’m attending the wedding, dressing up, paying for the bachelor’s party, and I’m STILL supposed to get them a gift? I don’t think so. I know this sounds cheap, but it comes down to the fact that I won’t have ANY MONEY to get a gift. They should view my presence as a gift. Speaking of which, so should all of you!

On the Day:
Ensure that the groom’s Trouser zip is done up
ummm….I don’t know if I’m comfortable looking ‘down there’ and telling him
Fear and second thoughts are calmed and put to rest
no. I’m going to be urging him to run as fast and as far as possible. That’s the kind of good friend that I am.

At the reception:
Give the first toast to the bride and groom at the reception.
I’m reasonably certain I can get this one right.
He dances with the bride and with the maid of honor.
I am a dancing machine.

I’ll be honest, I’m not a big social butterfly. I’m more a social moth. One of those moon moths from the original doctor doolittle that only comes out once in a while. And this condition gets worse the more that I do. These last two months have been hectic to the extreme, starting from spring break…papers, flying, more flying, classes and more classes, and more flying and more visiting relatives. Well, as one could imagine, I’m pretty burned out and sick of it.

But there is one more event(two actually, but they belong together)…my former roommate’s wedding. Lee is getting married on June 4th, and I am the best man. I’m throwing a bachelor’s party for him this sunday. I’m doing the best I can, as I’ve actually never been to a bachelor’s party before, we’re starting out with grilling some foodses, and then going out for some drinkses.

I personally cannot wait for June 13th thorugh the 17th. Those are my first 5 days off in a row, with no work, no classes, and hopefully all of the reading for pacifica done by then.

that means 5 days where I can let my mind just sit with no necessary usages.

I can’t wait.

and tonight I begin reading the huge book about one man’s insatiable quest after the great white whale.

I’ve tried three or four times before, and each time I had to stop about a tenth of the way through…I couldn’t handle the monotony any more.

Some people say the white whale represents manifest destiny, I say it represents monotony and boredom which will drag anyone ensnared in it down to the depths of the ocean.

yes, I know that it is pretty bare bones, but I haven’t had a lot of time lately.

as well, it’ll be more pumped up once more people decide to join.

we’ll see.
