RE: Uh Oh...
Hey Swifty, Shakweelay already was the best player in the NBA hands down, regardless of his free throw problems.
Tony Hawk 3
Oh man this game ownzerz, I've played non stop for the last couple hours... The levels are hella big... a lot bigger than TH2, the music in this game is great.
Best Buy
Adam Brewer and Mike Keesy = the newest Media Specialists at Best Buy! w00t! Time to write my resignation for Hy-Vee!
AOL
AOL Instant Messenger = sweet b00ty call tool. Feeling sad and have that need to hook up? Well you've got 100 buddies, chances are the majority are the opposite sex and at least some of them are logged on. Use your persuasive talking skills! Booty call!
Babysitting
w00t! I just made $40 babysitting for 4 hours! Im gonna hopefully get Tony Hawk 3 tomorrow.
Re: Party Alarm
Eamonn Reider. Learn how to write correct posts and I won't say party alarm. I just think it's funny. Didn't mean to "ruin you're favorite song" in anyway. Of course you already knew that...

I'm glad the countdown is over--cuz now I have a computer that's a helluva lot better than Dave's.
Spree Killing = GTA3 L337 Madness!
In the first place, I can only get 4 stars out of 6 because I don't have the means to kill Swat members quickly and efficiently enough that I could do all dat jazz. But even with only four stars, the joy of (totally gunless) running up to a cop car, trying to hijack it, making the cop get out, and then stealing his car (with a shotgun inside) and taking off is priceless. Even more priceless is then killing the same motherfucker with his own pump shotgun, and then hosing all his friends when they come. By the fourth star there's no hope. Unless you already have a car pre-parked outside the spray house, there's no way you're going to survive 4, 5, or 6 stars for anything longer than like 5 minutes (and more stars) Despite the death sentance that this gives you, it is SO SWEET PUMP SHOTTYING COPS. COPS = SHIT.
PARTY ALARM
Matt Ward. Stop saying PARTY ALARM at the end of your blogs. First of all, it's just plain stupid. Second of all, you are ruining one of my favorite songs. And thirdly, just plain stop it. On another note, I rock. Later.
BIG QUESTION
Does anyone know if it would be safe to download gta3 off of morpheus or do you think its a fake?
Best Buy
Once you get a job offer, you have to head over to the little medical place they contract with and piss in a cup. Then, pending the results of a criminal background check and your drug test, you'll either be accepted or declined. These guys are thorough--they sure as hell aren't a "Hire Anyone Off The Street"-type store (cough, HyVee, cough).

Siddhartha
"They all became part of the river. It was the goal of all of them, yearning, desiring, suffering; and the river's voice was full of longing, full of smarting woe, full of insatiable desire. The river flowed on towards to it's goal. Siddartha saw the river hasten, made up of himself and his relatives and all the people he had ever seen. All the waves and water hastened, suffering, towards goals, many goals, to the waterfall, to the sea, to the current, to the ocean and all the goals were reached and each one was succeeded by another. The water changed to vapour and rose, became rain and came down again, became spring, brook and river, changed anew, flowed anew........."
Hermann Hesse
Cops are dumb!
Okay this is my last post i hope. I left my house around 3:15 to go to Best Buy for my interview. Well I pulled out behind a cop car... it was a 2000 Chevy Impala, I had never seen one before. It was from Franklin County, wheres that?
Well anyways he was holding up traffic going something like 30mph on 1st Ave. The intersection where Outback is to your right and the Mitsubishi Montero's are always on the corner of the car lot. Well we approach that intersection and the cop car starts slowing down and he puts on his turn signal. Then he stops on 1st Ave with his signal on. He didnt use the turning lane! He just stopped on 1st Ave and sat there until it was clear to turn. I got to actually honk at a cop and have it be a logical reason. Well the van behind me got rear ended, but nothing happened to my jeep. Pigs really are dumb.
Black vs. White
Tonight opened up my eyes holy shit! For real, I have joked a little bit about african americans, but nothing meant seriously. I saw something tonight that was just not right at all. We were sitting in the ghetto KFC. Wards mommy gave us money to get dinner there. As I walk in there is a black man standing there with his little kid. I looked at him... and for no apparent reason he gave me a nasty look. A few minutes later... the lady called his order number, he had gotten two 18 piece buckets of Fried Chicken... lolz. So he grabs it and walks over to the condements area, instead of taking what he needed, he took everything. NO JOKE this guy cleared out every freaking condement there was.
Well a scrubby white trashy looking guy walks up and says, "Damn!" the black man looks up and says, "You got a problem? And if you do lets take this outside and settle it like men..." The white guy pulls out his celly phone and calls his buddy, who is a police man. And says, "Theres a dumb drunk nigger in here that was trying to start shit with me, you wanna come get him?" He then proceeded to tell his friend the cop the license plate of the car and which way he was leaving the parking lot.
The white guy then looks at me, and is like, "You dont fuck with me." and then he says, "Give him 10 minutes to a half an hour and that black guy will be in jail."
Man I would like to know what happened out of all that.
Yelling out our cars...
Tonight may quite possibly be one of the last times Adam Brewer yells out his car.
Ward had just picked up Adam and I, we were headed for the UPS place to see if the computer parts came in that Ward had ordered. We were driving down the infamous 1st Ave. yelling at random people. Well, I turned to Adam and said yell at someone.
We are approaching "The Moose" and Adam sticks his head out the window and yells, "Faggot" screechingly loud. Then he ducked his head in quick and said, "Fux0r that was my dad!" he crouched down in the back seat like a little kid. I turned to see who it was, and it sure enough was The Great Bruce, standing there talking on his celly phone. I saw him look up, he looked right at me.
RE: BT + PLUS SUPER BONUS POST ABOUT RICERS!
BT didn't sell out. That N'Sync song doesn't sound a whole lot different then what he normally produces. He just probably made a lot more $$$$$ for "Dirty Pop" then anything else.
Also, on my way home from Educare, I saw the riciest boy ever. He had a pimped out Ford Probe! Hell yeah. It hard Ford stickers plastered all over it, a shiny chrome tailpipe, blue lights mounted underneath, and some fly ass headlights. LOOK OUT RICE BOY AHOY!
Re: BT
How dare you insult my musical knowledge and not consider me to know who BT is. Dude, I bet everyone knows him now after he made the track for NSync's Pop. He kinda sold out on that one, but it's all right with me, because NSync is the cutest.
BT
I know Charlie and Jake have heard of BT, but I don't know if anyone else has, but I just got his new CD Rare and Remixed off of amazon and wow does it kick ass. It's damn good techno.
And Nick, that's fuckin hilarious. That's gonna be a sweet game. But GTA 3 still owns.
Loads Of Laughter Out Loud
Wow, this is the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Or maybe I'm just a simp. It's a couple of Metal Gear Solid 2 in-game captures all put together to look like a porn. Watch it here.
Best Buy
Adam or Mike or anyone who knows-- Does Best Buy really drug test applicants and if so could you please describe the process.
Don't Warn...
Don't warn blogger bot, even if it gives you some stupid error. I did that, and it blocked me. Whoops.

What a beautiful day it is!!! I can't imagine this day getting any better. I hope I am surprised to find my imagination wrong
Yankees
Last night Chad told me that it was impossible to cheer against the Yankees in the present situation (Sept. 11). Well than I must be defying all odds, becuase I hate the Yankees, and always have. I hate George Stienbrenner, and Joe Torre, and I would like Derek Jeter to die. In fact I wouldn't be made if the yankess had made a field trip to the World Trade Center on Sept. 11. That is why that it pissed me off when the Yankees went "nut" and "banana" when Tino and Jeter both hit dongs.
P.S. Nut and Banana are words that the first intercontinetal champion a french candien Pat Patterson would use. He has trouble with plurals. I learned that from Foley is Good

I <3 NFL2K2
I really <3 NFL2K2. For the past 2-3 days (I can't remember) Jaymz has come over during study hall and played a half against me with Robbin playing all the first downs, then we go and lift, and then come back and play each other in games. So far....I've had a poor showing of my skills (I'm 0-4 ) but I will definitely come back and win our ever-lasting series. And by the way, GO 49ERS!
Here is a funny Haloween joke I'd like to share with you. So, this woman is in Transylvania(sp?). She's just visiting Romania for the food or something. So, she's staying in this hotel, which happens to be in an old castle. This woman, bein superstitious, brings garlic and a cross along with her. In the middle of the night, she hears a sound. She looks around and sees a bat flying throuhg a window. Then the bat changes into a human. So, the woman grabs the garlic and holds it up, to no avail. Then she grabs the cross and holds it up. Well, the cross doesn't work either. Then the vampire says, "Oy vey, have you made a mistake."
Candy
I have never been trick ot treating. Never. My mommy always buys me a big bowls worth of candy though. I don't eat much candy anymore, or much of anything for that matter. So who ever says they want my candy first......can have it
Swifty's New Look
Swifty = Goth angst femme boy. I HATE ANGST. I HATE GOTHS. FEMMES ARE SCARY.

Man its Halloween, but it doesnt feel like it.
Today is supposed to be a day of spooks... but last year and this year... Halloween has seemed like nothing. Its no fun anymore...
Whats everyone else doing tonight?
I Saw the Apeman...Playing Virtua Tennis 2k2
Study hall + Sega Sports Tennis 2k2 = Much fun at home.
Re: Countdowns
I don't have countodowns for everything. When something Big is going to happen though (Like my computer and Cable tommorow) I will most definatly post about it. As would most on here I think. If I remember correctly I do remeber a certain someone who was flippin out about his awsome Wireless Keyboard....
Countdowns
Matt has countdowns for EVERYTHING! I say he should list each and every countdown he has so we can all be excited when they are over!
Re:Obvious Advice
I applied earlier in the school year and have already been accepted to my top 3 choices. Those consist of Central, Drake, and Coe. Now all I have to do is choose and that isn't too hard. But it is good to get things done early.
Good Stuff
Its October 31st, It's a full moon, and
IT'S CANDY TIME
Also, The countdown is to under 24 hours untill computer goodness.
Obvious Advice
Don't put off writing your college application essay until the night before it's due. This will generally prove to be a bad thing.

Teens are not invincible
Yes, it's sad that those Linn-Mar gals died. It's always sad when we lose another human life. However, going 115 MPH on the Marion Bypass is not exactly building the road toward a long life--that's more like digging your grave with a backhoe. I am sadden by their deaths, but realize it wasn't accidental by any means, they dug their own graves by doing that.
PS
by the way, if anyone was picking up the phone to call some teen suicide hotline, that was a joke..
BBP: My Guardian Angel
So I was wallowing in extreme despair and depression today on the dirty cement floor of my basement, naked and sweating again, until I decided that I was finally going to end all of this repetitive depressive shit and off myself. After about five or ten more minutes of bitter weeping and pathetic whimpering about how much of a waste my useless life has been, I finally dragged my worthless ass off of the ground and up the stairs to grab my dad's precautionary .44 snubnose pistol, cleverly hidden in his sock drawer, towards the back where his suicidal fuckup of a son would never find it and "make a big fuckin' mess." So yeah, anyway, I have the gun in my mouth, the suicide note on the counter next to me, and then it occurs to me: I've barely posted anything on Big Boy all this week. "Jesus, I don't want to lose writing privileges," I think to myself. So I get up, put my pants back on, destroyed the note, returned the pistol to its "hiding place," came downstairs, and wrote this. Thanks to all of you at BBP--without it, my brains would be all over the bathroom wall by now :)
Megan Napolous
I don't know if any of you heard, but on Saturday, a girl from Linn Mar, Megan Napolous was killed in a car accident. I met her once at a party, and she was good friends with a lot of people at Wash, and some friends of mine at Linn Mar. She also dated David Stefan. It's way fucked up, and I still can't believe it. A bunch of people went to her service today, but I felt I didn't know her well enough to go. But, people are still in shock, and it really shows how precious life is and how fast it can be brought to an end.
HAHA, funny stuff
This is a part of a conversation I just had with my cousin who is in Kentucky. If you all didn't know, that is where I am from. Good ole' southern boy through and through.........
Cbenhward: I was handing out candy
Cbenhward: becasue we had trick or treat today becasue this town is messed up
Cbenhward: and these rotten kids came to my door
Cbenhward: well I give one a sucker and he grabs my whole basket of candy and runs off
Cbenhward: Halloween Sucks
Cbenhward: bitch
Heyy Fellaass!
Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you... MICKAELA HICKLE! God I love going through my picture collection.
My Computer
My dad and I were just looking at the power supply in my new computer. It is supposed to be a 300 watt. Well we flipped it over just cuz we were checking everything, and the guy gave us a 400 watt!!!! Awsome
MINIDISC
Mindisc does Rock! I have been hooked on minidisc since it's inception in the US about 6 years ago. It was far beyond it's time, but it just never really took off in the US. As of right now, if you see me on the go with my tunes, you can bet its with my Sony MZR-50. It is a reorder/player and has all the fullediting capibilities. I do not Record on this anymore however. For christmas last year I got a Sony Wooden Desk system with full Cd > MD DIGITAL recording. When the recording is digital it's an exact copy. That rocks. I choose MD over MP3 player anyday!!
To fill you all in...
The girl in the picture above was Lauren Squires, one wretched beast that used to go to Franklin MS. I believe she moved away. She had really bad gingevitis and wore Nike headbands to school because she thought they were rad. That was a salvaged school picture that I found on the ground and reconstructed with tape. I scanned it 2 years ago and I found it on my computer today so I was thinking of a funny way to put it up on the site. I think I did alright. :)
COME ANTICIPATE THE DARK LORD'S RETURN!
As all of you know, tomorrow is HALLOWEEN! In order to celebrate the one night of the year when our one true Lord Satan returns to the realm of the living, there is a Black Mass at my house tomorrow. We will spill the blood of a virgin to attempt to quench Satan's unholy thirst for BLOOD. All must cower before the awesome power of the Master of all that is Evil and Wrong. When the clock strikes midnight tonight, the Dark Lord returns from his heinous realm to spread horror into the world of the living. On this unholy night all Hell will break loose, and the terror will spread throughout the world like a pox upon a diseased man. He will devour the non-believers souls and torture them for all eternity.
If this is your first Black Mass, here is a helpful list of equipment to bring:
1 goat for slaughter (if you can't find one, bring a jar of fresh goats blood from the Hy-Vee meat counter or something)
1 compact disk of Satanic heavy metal (Check out Satan's Soul Grinder, the Dark Golems of Pain, Howling Syn, and Wrath of Killenstein. There all favorites of our Unholy Bringer of Death)
1 set of WARM CLOTHES! (It might get chilly outside while we commit our unspeakable grisly black acts)
Myself and the other High Priests of Pure Evil will handle everything else.
Re: A thought
I totally agree with Swifty. Why the hell don't I have any homework? Is there something about the fall weather that's putting this subvertive effect on all the teachers? My homework today consisted of reading a 2 page essay on the legalization of drugs in america. Hrmm, I read this during class when Mrs. Netolicky gave us time to complete it. Even though this homework trend is very odd to me, I'm sure as hell not going to worry about it.
Minidisk
One week ago my mom found my minidisk that I thought, I left in Colorado a year earlier, and then I just figured that the spainish speaking cleaning ladies stole it. However my mom found it in her bag, apparntly she picked it up right before we left and put it in her luggage bag. Anyway, minidisk rox0rs, It never skips and it is compact, great to ski with. There are downfalls however, such as if you want to make a minidisk you have to dl all the songs then burn them onto a regular cd then take that cd and record it onto your md. Anyway it still rules!
w00t and not w00t
w00t I bought MSG2 today. I cant wait to pick it up on the 14th. I <3 Software ETC where you can buy games in advance.
Not w00t, those same fegs didnt have GTA3. And nobody else in the city did either. It madd sux0rd today looking for it.
Turn on the fun!
Well, Mike and I went over to the big Best Buy today for part one of the application process. We got there about 3:30 and the lady had us take a look at a paper that basically explained some very rudimentary things that they wanted you to agree to before going any farther. After that, we had to wait for a phone to be freed up so we could go and take the big phone interview. Woohoo, was that some shit. Hahaha, it basically asks you stuff that any idiot could figure out how they want you to answer. "If a really good employee is caught stealing $5, should they be dismissed?" Obviously, they want yes. There were only one or two questions that I couldn't really figure out how they wanted me to answer, so it was honesty there. I guess I got enough points or however they figure it, cuz I passed. After that, I sat back down. Mike passed too--so the next step was interview number two--with someone from Media--the department I applied for. This guy came up and asked who wanted to go first... Mike or I.
Mike was still working on his app, so I got to go first (and only, as it turns out). He asked me some questions like "What does a retail store need to do to keep customers coming and make them happy?" I fed him whatever BS he was looking for, and demonstrated my l33t DVD and Video Game knowledge. We just started talking about GameCube and Xbox after a while. The guy informed me that Best Buy was getting in 70 Xboxes and 28 Indigo GameCubes and 28 Black GameCubes, or 56 Cubes total. He seemed to really like me and told me that the last hoop to jump through was with the General Manager. I couldn't talk to him tonight because he wasn't there, so I have that final interview on Thursday at 4:30 PM. But the dude that DID interview me assured me that I pretty much have the job!
Derek Meek
That is some funny shit Keesy, things like that almost make it worth having Derek in your classes, but not quite. And Virden, trust me, you do not want Derek posting on Big Boys, that would not be a good thing, becuase we would have to read or at least scroll post several of his tirades on a daily basis, and while this might be amusing for a while, I think that it would get old fast. He has threatened to brake my nose before on several occasions. Once he also told me that he was gonna break both my knee caps. Today during lunch he sat with some of the hardcore christian people (like Joe Brinkman and Alex Roth) and read to them out of the Dungeons and Dragons Mosterous Compendium, talking about how kick ass his new character was gonna be. Derek is comedy, but really farking annoying comedy.
Re:Derek Meek
Having the opinion of Derek Meek fill our website would put us on the downhill fall....Not the rise like we currently are on. All that would happen is he would start talkin crap and then the point of this sight would move from everything/nothing to "lets trash Derek" I just dont think would be funny after like a day, nor would our readers....so I say a big NO to having him on.
PARTY ALARM!!!!
Derek Meek, the funniest thing yet!
Holy shit... 5th hour today was hilarious.
Class started off with the usually Eric Baldanado, and Murphy Blackcloud harassing Derek... its always fun to pick on Derek. Well anyways, Eric had saw a test in the pick up basket of Dereks... where he got an 18 out of 40, F. So Eric went and asked Derek about it and, of course he got really mad and junk. Murphy turned around and was like, "Holy Shit, your dumb." So Derek threatened to beat up Murphy, laf laf.
Derek: I'll break your nose.
Murphy: I'd knock you out in one hit.
Derek: You wouldnt connect.
How gay is that? "You wouldnt connect." That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Well so class starts, and Derek begins to yell at Mr. Tiedt about the paper. Saying stuff like, "I dont care how long you have taught here, thats unethical, to leave papers in the bin, this is just fucking bullshit.", "I dont give a shit, I'm going to talk to your boss, and you are canned."
This was fucking hilarious.. everyone in the class was laughing their ass off. Meanwhile Brytta is in our class. She is learning disabled, I believe. She doesnt tolerat foul language. So in the middle of Derek giving Mr. Tiedt a lecture on Ethics, Brytta yells out, "I'm out of here!" She picks up her bag... runs out of the room, and slams the door behind her.
Wow this was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Derek is incredibly dumb... wow!
Writing sucks
I just got done writing my AP LA essay about cause/effect. It was draining just as Nick and Charlie mentioned. I will never procrastinate to write my essay this long again. AND I DEFINITELY 0wnz 4|| 0|= j00!

The Blues and Whatnot
I suggest you all check out the North Mississippi Allstars. They kick ass.
Matt, Mike - as you know, I know this Linn Mar girl. She is a super duper biatch. She argued and whined to me a number of times because I am OK with sex before marriage, and she strongly opposses it. WELL DONE!
And also - In case none of you knew....Marco Waller fucking beat the shit out of Dominique on Saturday!! Finally!
Destroyed
Ok, as you all may know Mike and I had a little adventure tonight.
WE STRAIGHT TORE LINN MAR GIRLS' CAR UP
We covered it with vegtable oil, put flour all over that, then mike squirted strawberry syrup everywear. He then put vasoline in the doorhandles and then I covered the car in toilet paper. We would have done more but some fat lady came out of the house across the street and said "you guys shouldn't be doing that, it's not ok" I politely replied, "yes it is" and we raced to mikes car.
Here's the kicker...When I got home, my mom said Amanda "Linn Mar Girl" called and told my mom what we did and all that, and then my mom had to have done the COOLEST thing I have EVER seen/heard her do. She told Amanda while laughing "Payback's a BITCH" then she hung up on her!! HAHAHA!! That's awsome. This will go down in record books
RE: RE: MNF
Cleveland sucks. And so does Drew Carry. I would like him if he wasnt so gizzay and liked Cleveland. Go Bucks, Packers, and Brewers. w00t!
Re: MNF
Swifty, I always thought you liked the Jaguars? But all AFC teams suck, my Bears own. With a record of 5-1, I'm predicting a finish of 15-1 and a victory in the Super Bowl.
Jon Gruden Watch!!!
Here is an artical I just read on ESPN.com. Check it out. It relates to my early posts about Jon Gruden.
From Silver and Black to Blue and Gold
Jon Gruden isn't exactly laying low when it comes to the possibility of becoming the next Notre Dame coach. Of course, he needs two things to happen first: Bob Davie to become the ex-Notre Dame coach, and an actual job offer from the Irish.
In interviews with the NFL.com and the South Bend Tribune, Gruden did everything but recite Knute Rockne when asked about Notre Dame. Can't say that we blame him. His dad, Jim, is a former running backs coach for Dan Devine. Gruden himself played at South Bend's Clay High School. And there is a certain yesteryear charm to his memories of growing up surrounded by all things ND.
"To see that marching band walking across campus at 8 a.m., to look up and see Touchdown Jesus and the Golden Dome, to feel Rockne's ghost -- the best word I can use to describe it is chilling. Every time I see Notre Dame on TV it gives me goose bumps," Gruden told NFL.com.
With this latest loss to Boston College (ND is now 3-4) and a game against Tennessee next Saturday, the sight of the Davie and the Irish give some Notre Dame followers the heebie-jeebies. So what gives? Is Gruden, 38, simply waxing poetic? Is he truly interested in bolting the Death Star for South Bend? Is he using it for financial leverage?
To be fair, Gruden isn't lobbying for the job, but he has made it clear how fond he is of the place. He says the Raiders are his No. 1 football priority, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't get goose bumps if Notre Dame officials called at season's end.
Of course, be careful what you wish for. At the Oct. 20 USC game, Notre Dame Stadium ushers asked several fans to turn their T-shirts inside out. Reason? The T-shirts read, "Dump Davie." The ushers thought the two-word message violated university code regarding offensive language on T-shirts.
-- ESPN.com
I really hope Jon makes the right desision at the end of the season. ND would ownz!
RE: Wow
Well our average day is 100 or so hits. As of right now we have 160 hits. So its not an off day poop butt.
Wow
After busting the metaphorical "nut" yesterday in terms of posts/hits, we're kind of on an off day no? : )
Re: Phee-yew
No kidding, they really do mentally drain you. I was focusing hardcore, and had mine done in about 75 minutes. I felt completely drained after that and wanted to go lie down. Alas, it was almost Educare time and I couldn't. My masterwork is about the causes and effects of discovering I have ADD.
Phee-yew
Man, those APLA cause and effect essays are really draining on the thought process. I wrote my essay on my stance on faith and organized religion and the causes and events that put me into my state. QUITE INTERESTING!
Edit: And for some reason, when I'm done I always smell a lot worse than I did when I started. Add, physical drain to above.
FREE $3 FROM ME
Thats right if you give me a ride to Best Buy and/or Softwear ETC tomarrow after school you will get $3. I wanna buy GTA3 and my mom gave me $120 spending money for the week w00t.
Wow
I cant wait tell later tonight, I'm going to go over into Marion and destroy a girls car. Does anyone have any suggestions on how this should be done. I personally thought about covering the car in vegetable oil and then pouring flour and other various food products onto it.
How Exciting
As you all may know from my previous posts, the computer i am typing on right now is a P.O.S. Acer 200 Mhz, 4 gig hard drive, dial up modem, etc. Sitting right here next to me is my customized computer, that is three parts shy of being finished. (1.6 mhz AMD, 60 gig HD, and a Ge force 2 Ti graphics card, that is still in shipping and will be in tommorow)
Here is the kicker, and don't laugh, ya'll dont know how big of a deal this is to me. BUT, as of thursday, November 1st, the insides of my house will be introduced for the first time with a broadband cable connection. I am truly as giddy as a school girl right now, and I don't care if everyone knows that. Just remember the first time you got cable AND a screamin computer AT THE SAME TIME. Dial-up does suck, and cable = goodness
Hrmm, Possibly my situation
I heard this word being thrown around on the SA forums. I went to the dictionary for clarification.
ag·nos·tic (g-nstk)
n.
One who believes that it is impossible to know whether there is a God.
One who is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism.
One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.
adj.
Relating to or being an agnostic.
Doubtful or noncommittal: “Though I am agnostic on what terms to use, I have no doubt that human infants come with an enormous ‘acquisitiveness’ for discovering patterns” (William H. Calvin).
ag·nosti·cal·ly adv.
Word History:
An agnostic does not deny the existence of God and heaven but holds that one cannot know for certain whether or not they exist. The term agnostic was fittingly coined by the 19th-century British scientist Thomas H. Huxley, who believed that only material phenomena were objects of exact knowledge. He made up the word from the prefix a-, meaning “without, not,” as in amoral, and the noun Gnostic. Gnostic is related to the Greek word gnsis, “knowledge,” which was used by early Christian writers to mean “higher, esoteric knowledge of spiritual things” hence, Gnostic referred to those with such knowledge. In coining the term agnostic, Huxley was considering as “Gnostics” a group of his fellow intellectuals“ists,” as he called themwho had eagerly embraced various doctrines or theories that explained the world to their satisfaction. Because he was a “man without a rag of a label to cover himself with,” Huxley coined the term agnostic for himself, its first published use being in 1870.

Simpsons Quote
There's a Simpsons quote for everything! We're talking religion now... so...
Reverend Lovejoy: This so-called "new religion" is nothing but a pack of weird rituals and chants, designed to take away the money of fools. Let us say the Lord's Prayer 40 times, but first, let's pass the collection plate!
The Motor City Madman
"I think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it makes you mad, then invent the next operating system that's better and put your name on the building. Ask your buddy that

REPOST: Christianity
I posted this a long ways back, and since then I haven't had much progress on the situation. I wouldn't consider myself a full-blown aitheist, but maybe someone who put religion on the backburner. My relationship with a supreme being is probably on hiatus at the moment.
Well, lately I have been graced with the occasional Christianity vs. Atheism theories, and lots of personal experiences from both of the extremes plus the median on their ways of Christian life. With those being put upon me, I have taken a little time to think deeply about where I am in the whole mess. Personally, I consider myself a Christian, I got to church occasionally and sometimes pray and celebrate all the Christian holidays. But I feel that I'm doing it just because I have been fed the theory that Church + God + Common Christian Practices = a good life with maybe heaven at the end of the tunnel. Even though I am a self proclaimed Christian, I feel that religions are merely cosmetic. Because when I hear about Born-Again-Christians, and people that have found the light and constantly rely and trust that God will do what's right for you, I understand what they mean, but I don't fully believe the fact. I believe that you reap what you sow, and therefore you make your own future. For example: If God gave me the talent of making bread and intended for me to use my talent, but instead I spent my days playing video games because that's what I wanted to do, I would have never used my God given talent because I chose and I choose my own destiny. If you are dead serious about being a "freak" about christianity (for lack of a better title), all the power to you, go on with your strong beliefs and use them to the fullest. I don't have a problem with you and I have respect for your depth in Christianity, but I don't understand how you can rely your lifestyle to obey a belief that no one knows the truth about. I don't know if that makes me an atheist or what. I would like to believe full-heartedly that I am a true christian through and through, but when I hear of the extreme cases of people loving God with all their heart, and how they thank him for everything, I say to myself 'I thank myself for what I have done for ME, and God? Why did you have to do that shitty shit to me the other day? I mean, that really sucked" If you catch my drift, If I were to think in that perspective I would be blaming God for the unfortunate crap that happens to me, and since a good Christian boy wouldn't do that, I would much rather blame myself or the forces of nature for it. So in that circumstance I would be thinking more in the mindset that I am responsible for myself, not God. One thing I claim to believe in is Heaven. Maybe just because it sounds like a better deal than rotting in a casket for eternity, but if you think about it, heaven could have just been a made up theory just to scare the masses into living into a more conformed and righteous lives that actually caught on over time. No one has been to heaven and told me if it is really there or if it isn't, so why should I buy into the belief? Is it because an old book written by God knows who (no pun intended) tells me to? In the end I still consider myself a Christian even though I have some really big voids to fill and questions to answer. Even though I would like to live a christian life (when I say live I mean eat, breathe, sleep the belief), I still can't bring myself to believe everything whole-heartedly.
But now I will leave you with a little something that the great comedian, George Carlin said on Politically Incorrect (My absolute favorite show), "Hey, I coulda prayed to Joe Pesci and got the same results".

Really Fuckin Sick
Although not an Atheist (I've had a vision! feel free to ask me) I get really fuckin sick of people calling themselves members of a "one true faith." Religion isn't a destination, it's a journy you fuckers. Live in a manner where you place your concerns at the bottom of your list and you're bound to make the big guy/girl/cheetah-lizardmonkey upstairs happy. Even the idea of Jesus is a model for a good set of living, not a monopoly on the church donation business.
Re: Religion
First of all I didn't diss on anyone considering god is not a real person... just a made up homie in a really old book.... also filled with ancient superheros and fairytales. You have to realize that there are many different religions out there and that there is no way for your personal religious preference to be right... its just what you believe and choose to devoted your time to. Religion is not based on what certain things ot people say, it just forms images of how you prefer to live your life and keep u going. If its a book about superheros... so be it. I just choose not to sit through boring speaches every Sunday and listen to someone tell me what I should do and blah blah blah. I could get more direction in life from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. If anyone has the right to slander Spiderman then I think I have the right to slander god. They are both ficticious. So u go to church every week for 2 hours and you enjoy it... I'll be at home in bed sleeping not to mention enjoying that. Oh yea.... may thin air have pity on my soul and I hope I rot in hell... if there really is one.
Yankees
Wow the Yankees sux0r!!! They are getting raped by a 4th year team from the South West. The Yankees were winning World Serries before the state of Arizona ever became a state and now the Yankees are getting raped by those n00bs!
The Dreaded Atheism Debate
I'm an atheist. I choose not to believe in God based upon scientific reasoning and the fact that religious fanatics have ruined too many lives because of it. But the point of atheism is not to recruit more people, as is the goal of religion, it is simply the choice not to believe. I am an atheist because of facts, not because I want to stand out in society and be a badass. I don't try to force it on other people. Belief structures are the hardest thing in the world to break.

Re: Religion
Dave, it's not cool to diss on peopel to make yourslef look better. You jsut outright slanderd God. Completly denied him. May He have pity on your soul
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I love chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip cookies taste good. Chocolate chip cookies were a great find, and the man/woman who did this should get a gold star. I love chocolate chip cookies
Religion
I think religion is a bunch of bull honkey. The bible is a big comic book filled with super heros!!! Superman could fly and see through walls with x-ray vision.... Jesus can walk on water and make blind people see again..... again both are made up and could never really happen but make for an interesting story. So yea, pretty much a long comic book. Actually the bible is boring and I say God and Jesus can bow down to the almighty Dave.
Gruden
Chad, you are right. It is rummored that he will go to the Irish. Notre Dame used to be my favorite College Ball Club. (As it was prolly all of ours sometime in our lives) I think he will stay with the Raiders for at least a few more seasons, then once he HAS PROVEN he is the NEXT great. (which I believe he will) Notre Dame would be glad to have him, and he would be glad to be the man in charge. As long as the Raiders and Timmy Brown get their desrved SuperBowl win, I see nothing wrong with him persuing his dream. Actually that would be sweet.
RE: RE: Football
Rumor has it John Gruden is gonna be walking the sidelines of the Blue and Gold next year w00t. "It is a dream job to have" - John Gruden commenting when asked about the ND job. Gruden born in South Bend, Indianna. Home of the Fighting Irish. If ND gets him, look for one bad ass team in a few years.
A Musical Anecdote
One day a few weeks ago, Nick and I were driving someplace. Normally, this wouldn't be cause for a post. Except for one notable incident.
We were listening to an excellent band The Lillington's. Their album Death By Television is a really good album, except for one song. That song also has the most inane title ever. "I Saw the Ape-Man(Walkin On the Moon)". I immediatley reach to change it, but Nick slapped my hand away. I said "What the hell, this song sucks and you know it, lemme change it." His angry reply was "Dude shut the fuck up, this song is killer". I indulged him and let him keep the song. Now whenever Nick rides along, he always demands to have "I Saw the Ape-Man" on repeat. It's really annoying, let me tell you.
Football
Raiders pull off the win. Sweet. 5-1 record = awsome. John Gruden, in my opinion, is the BEST coach right now. There awsome diversity also makes them a great ball club. Tim Brown, Jerry Rice, rich Gannon.....I am smellin superbowl material
RE: Swifty
Adam said this: "See, that's the problem with you guys--when someone does something good, you fail to give them credit for it, but when they screw up, boy do they get flak." Well after reading this line I was prompted to let out a big WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! You do what you have to do, and you can't go around expecting thank you's and handouts for your work. If you get by without being noticed nowadays, consider yourself a winner.
In Addition
Swifty, you don't have to recant about what you said, it's clearly your right to not condone what happened at the party, because it's your belief, not anyone elses. On the other hand, I'm glad you did reconsider the things you had said, simply because Warren is right: this is high school. You have maybe one other time in your life when you have as much freedom with as little responsibility as you do now/in college, and that's after you're retired, your kids are gone and you have nothing to do. Personally, I feel the experiences and chances life provides us with are sacred and no matter how you feel about them shouldn't be condemned simply because you wouldn't enjoy such things. Nobody was being hurt, all participants in this hectic hedonism participated of their own free will (and apparently had a bomber time of it too ;-) Viva la vie!
Da Bears
Wow. Bears take Niners in OT off an interception after managing to tie with 29 seconds left in the fourth quarter after a TD and the 2 point conversion. Bears played a helluva game.
Swifty
So Swifty felt uncomfortable with what happened last night--I support Swifty's right to speak his mind and say that he was disappointed or even upset with what happened, but I don't think its anyone's role to tell someone how they should feel about their actions... hopefully they can make up their mind for themselves. You guys sure as hell diss on Swifty far too much; albeit I'm completely oblivious to what happened last night, I know this... remember the "get-together" at Swifty's three weeks ago? More and more and more and more people kept pouring in the door, and I think Swifty deserves a lot of credit for absolutely keeping his cool and NOT over-reacting. See, that's the problem with you guys--when someone does something good, you fail to give them credit for it, but when they screw up, boy do they get flak. Swifty deserves so much credit for his demeanor over that get-together, and its absolutely asinine and disgusting that someone stole what they did from his house and took advantage of him. Whoever did that absolutely disgusts me.
And make sure you guys are actually thinking of more than just yourselves here--are you upset that Swifty's opinion will make the people involved in this feel bad and thusly won't do it anymore? Is that it? You're afraid there won't be a repeat? Some of your posts sure seem like that...
All I want to say is this: Swifty rocks. Swifty is brilliant, he knows more about sports than ANYONE I know, he's a really great guy, he's funny, and he's just fun to be around. Swifty should be an example to you guys, not you guys an example to Swifty.
I hate drama
God, why do people always have to drag things out and over-react? It seems like there are very few people who can just chill and let things play out. And those few people, are the people that I tend to take most of a liking to. I see no reason to make friends with people who make a big deal out of everything, because all they do is fuck things up, make matters worse, and stress themselves and others out with their foolish behaviors.
Re: Re: Re: Immaturity
Swifty, you feel sorry for me because I was involved in those activities? Sorry my decisions are wrong according to you Swifty. Please never show up at another high school party ever, ever again. And I can't believe you cheered for Michigan over Iowa. You=stupid
Great joke
A neutron walks into a bar, orders a beer. He finishes the beer, and asks the bartender, "How much?". The bartender responds, "For you, no charge."
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR
Re: Immaturity
Guys, easy. Whatever happened last night wasn't bad, it was just part of a party....people are able to let go and have some fun, be less self-conscious, and relax. That's why it's called a PARTY! What do you do at a party? Your party! You have fun! You let go a little bit! As Nick said, none of the girls are sluts...none of the guys have problems, people had a little bit of fun last night. That's all that happened. Anyone who makes a bigger deal out of it is 1) extrememly conservative and/or 2) very insecure about themselves. That's what it boils down to. My thoughts to all are that whatever happens at a party stays at the party, and don't be so damn judgmental of people.
Re:Re: Immaturity
Upon reading the statements by Swifty, Zakk, and Charlie, heres what I think. We all know I have pulled a few shinanigans in my high school career. None that need to be spoken of, but i agree in the general conclusion that what a person does in his/her own little world is their buisness. If they are going to dig their hole, they have to jump into it. We ALL have done stupid stuff and we ALL have paid the consequenses and reprocussions. Have your fun, BUT, be prepared for the outcome. there is always a down for every good, and vice versa.
Re: Immaturity
Swifty, Zakk is right. It's nice that you care, but your only in high school once. Live it up, have a ball. I don't participate in these illicit activies, but I don't frown upon those who do.
And about the incident in question, I MADE THE DECISION NOT TO PAY. You don't want to participate, fine. Personally, I have too much respect for my girlfriend and do not want to do something completely retarded and mess things up. I am sure you have your own reasons for not paying, but there's no reason to look down on those who did.
Just get off your high horse, you are not morally unreproachable. Thank you.
Tracy Smith
Wow... remember Tracy Smith from Channel One? She's on the CBS Early Show now, and she is SO INCREDIBLY HOT. WOW. That's why Channel One sucks--she's not on it anymore!
Toga!
Okay guys, we know some crazy stuff went down at Chad's Toga. Spill it. Let's get some stories.
Reflecting on the Past Season
As I look back on the football season I see good and bad times. I see a great team starting off Two and 0 and being on a huge high going into what was thought to be a huge season. I also see the lows of the season. I see the tragic death of a family member of one of the team’s best players along with the tragedies of September 11.
This was the most frustrating season I have ever been a part of and I was just flat out pissed throughout a large amount of the season. As many Americans I found the need to not take any of the blame on myself and I felt that I needed to blame it on someone else. Many of the other players felt the need to blame Coach James for our shitty season so I jumped on the bandwagon and said that I thought it was his fault too. After the season was over I looked back and thought about what really happened in those nine games. I don’t think any of the coaches deserved what has been said about them and I would like to take back all the negative comments that I have said about any part of the Washington football organization. All the coaches make sacrifices for us and I don’t feel right about spitting in any of there faces. It's not a good idea to blame everything on the coaches because you’re blaming them for your wrong, and in turn it allows you to make excuses for what's happening instead of you making the sacrifices needed to win games.
Football is meant to have fun and not to sit around and bitch all the time while playing it. I plan on winning every game next year & I hope that everybody who is playing with me is shooting for the same goal.
Broadband Internet
As a correction to a Adams previous statement about cable modems, I would liek all to know that Me, Ward, Wardly, etc...has stepped into the 21st century. As of Monday I will be getting a 10,200k Mediacom Braodband connection.
I also would liek to note that on order, is a computer that We (dad, adam, and myself) have handpicked for superior goodness. I am pretty sure it can whoop the crap outta everyones comp on here except that of Nick's (he will have a bigger HD), Chars, and Chad's (although I have never seen it, I think I heard Adam saying it was better than any of ours once)
This was just a lil FYI, just so everyone knows that I am movin' on up....Jefferson's Style ( I doubt most will get that)
