Helix, dude, i think you completely missed the point of the question Though I guess the way you to chose to answer the question is something that makes you unique. I wanted to mention something that connected this to Ted's article about Learning to Live with Mediocrity. I agree with his viewpoint, mostly, that most of us are mediocre and that we have to learn to deal with it at s
Love Billy Connely, his part in The Last Samurai was excellent. But, I originally read this as coming from George Carlin. Was someone mixed up?
Everyone sees themselves as different from everyone else, to a certain extent, I think. I sure do, and I think my personality reflects that to a certain degree, though I hope I don't come off as vain or arrogant or "holier than thou." This was brought on, of course, by an incident at work. I said something silly, or was being overly melodramatic about a mun
(Is the spacing acceptable, Ted?) Unfairman so hot, kickin' that new doo he got, careful you don't get shot.... bring your tickets...to the gun show, and when he plays croquet best believe he make it through every wicket you silly ho. Now you know...the one whose farts smell like a rose, you girls keep sweatin' him even when he's

Yes, it's a line from a Soundgarden song. Eddie Vedder also sang those two lines at the Pearl Jam concert in St. Paul last summer. Plus, I'm going to california...from minnesota...so there ya go.
I do have pics, but I don't have another place to put them on the web so I can link em. We'll see what I can work out... waterpolo- I'm trying to figure out a way to let all the JoeUsers in on my adventures...suggestions are welcome
haha it's not a dumb question, but the answer is no. Actually, the answer is probably more like "probably not". The capital island of Tarawa is pretty modern. They have internet access and electricity, and there's a small chance I'll be stationed on that island. Otherwise, the outer islands don't even have electricity, much less computers. If I am on the outer islands, which is likely, I'd be on Tarawa about every 3 months for conferences and such,
I got my hair cut today. To a lot of you, that may not seem like a big deal, and it probably isn't. But I've had pretty long hair for nigh on 4 years now, and it's gone. I mean like, all gone. I got 8-10 inches taken off today, leaving my hair about 1/4 inch on the sides and maybe an inch long on the top. That cause for the sudden change is, once aga
Micheal Chabon, anyone? He won the Pulizter a few years ago for "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay", my all time hands down favorite book. He's young, mid-thirties, but this guy...wow, can he write. I wish I could write like that. He also wrote the novel "Wonder Boys", which was adapted into a movie starring Micheal Douglas (who was a horrendous choice for Grady Tripp, I think) and he wrote the screenplay for "Spider-Man 2". Now, I understand
hahaha...tricked a dog. THAT'S FUNNY!
I agree with almost all of this article except one point: "The gas problem is going to be a long term problem." Well, I guess that depends on your definition of long-term. According the BBC, at our current rate the earth's readily available crude oil suppy will run out in the next 50 years, thus eliminating the problem of gas prices altogether, because there will be none to be had. THAT'S why we need to start thinking about alternativ
June 4th. That's the day life as I know it will be turned on end. I suppose I'm fortunate. A lot of people have no idea when their lives will change drastically. Of course, something unexpected may happen in the two weeks between today and June 4th, but barring that, I have the opportunity to be prepared to have my perspective on life comepletely and unalter
I never said >I My dog was chasing a chipmunk the other day, and the chip turned around and ran full blast into the wheel of our barbeque. My dog still couldn't catch it, though, even if it was stunned for about 2 seconds. He's not what he used to be.
First of all, i'm gonna complain how much "Van Helsing" sucked. Please, people, don't give these morons your money. Yeah, Hugh Jackman is ripped, yada yada, Kate Beckinsale is hot...but...that's about it. Characters? 2 dimensional, at best. Jackman, an otherwise promising actor, delievered his lines like 4 day old coffee, not that he had much to work with. Beckinsale
Ted, This article puts into mind one of my favorite quotes from Say Anything. It goes roughly like "She's something special, and you...you choose to champion mediocrity!" That's what I like to think of myself as: A Champion of Mediocrity. In fact, if I ever have a band, I think I'll name it Champions of Mediocrity. Annie, wonderful point. I tell horrible jokes, all the time, but people seem to like them. It's one of my strengths, perh
well, fish, it doesn't show how messed up you were, but more how messed up Freud was. I have a BAS in Psychology, and so we studied the hell out of Frued. While he was revolutionary in psychology, most of what he said has been shown to be complete bullshit. But, yeah, get laid. It'll help.
I have had some internet problems this week, so here is the long awaited sequel...a few things have become fuzzy with time, so bear with. So I stayed at Adam's that night. The next morning, we woke up at 10:45 to get to his noon meeting, and I drove him up the school. After that, I drove over to Pete's house to giveaholla. We hung out for a while, played "Nam
What I meant to say was: Sarcasm? What's that?
"Sarcasm doesn't work in writing." Hello? Ever heard of a man named Oscar Wilde? Master of sarcasm in the written form. Also, it's usually pretty obvious when people are being sarcastic. It takes a higher level of intelligence to understand sarcasm, no doubt about it. And I think I'm pretty good at deciphering the way an author wants somethin to be read. It's part of the joy of reading.
Ms. Jones, What ever happened to Mr. Jones? Is he still trying to stare at the beautiful women? Sincerely, That One Guy
As for that constitutional amendment banning gay marriage... (I've talked to some of you about this, but bear with) There has only been one other amendment to the Constitution that has lessened civil rights instead of providing for more of them. Can anyone guess what that was? That's right, Prohibition, folks. A
I repeat...I WAS NOT DRUNK WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I was sotally tober...er...you know what I mean. It wasn't till I got home that I was drunk. The alcohol didn't process till then.
My plan was to stay Wednesday night in Duluth, as a farewell to the town I loved so dearly for so long. But, as so often happens with me, it turned into excess. I was talking to my brother (who lives in Duluth) and asked him if he'd be able to go out with us on Weds. He said that he had class and work, and that he wouldn't be able to (besides, he's not 21, bu
Venom and Carnage are hands down the best Spider-Man villians there are, I don't care how new they are. The whole symbiotic alien suit overtaking an "innocent" bystander and giving him super powers to justify it's own means?! C'mon, it's huge social commentary. Also, can you IMAGINE the special effects? Awesome. (I am not a huge fan of special effects, but they can be used very, very well. As long as the picture doesn't revolve around them *ahem M
