Sassy Little Punkin.

Read this post about sex with a poet in a coffeehouse. It's really a very good story and very well-written.

Wanna see a picture of my handsome brother in his uniform? Check this out.

Kerry vs. Dubya.

You know, I'd much rather have a president who was both a war hero and an anti-war activist. I find it interesting that Kerry was a recipient of the Bronze Star, the Silver Star (the two highest awards under the Medal of Valor in the Navy and Marine Corps.), as well as THREE Purple Hearts (which are awarded after being wounded in combat. THREE.) for his service in Vietnam, yet he opposed the War. Dubya, on the other hand, was for the Vietnam War, yet used his connections to stay out of combat by "serving" in the Texas Air National Guard (being impossible except for the elite during the War). He of course did not take the medical exam and was grounded. To read the rest of his resume, click here .

No snow here.

I wish we had some snow, sorta. We only had some once or twice, and it was hardly worthy the salt they put all over the roads here. It keeps raining like an SOB.

Check out my other blog today for an evil picture of Brian, Mr. Coffeeman. He looks like a Leprechaun (hence my posting the picture today, St. Patty's Day).

Possible new planet.

Hey, all. Here's a link to a brief NY Times article about a possible planet in our solar system past Pluto (if Pluto is really a planet). Maybe this is where the Bush family really comes from and they are trying to get back to their theiving, murderous race by pushing through nuclear propulsion again at NASA for the first time in 50 years. That's why he wants to increase the deficit by spending billions more on outerspace when we have starving people and uneducated children in the streets! Dubya is just trying to bring his evil hordes to complete the domination of the Earth! By the way, there's another planet in the solar system.

Support our troops.

Hee hee haa haa.

I don't know what WOOT means. It's a cool word, though. Gets your attention.

The Moleskinerie features some stuff from my other weblog today. Yeah! Thank you, Armand!

In other news, go see Hidalgo and Secret Window. Frankie didn't like Secret Window, but I liked it a lot -- revenge story and everything. Johnny Depp is as amazing as ever, and Charles S. Dutton is from Baltimore:)

Happy birthday!

A very happy birthday to Laura!

Happy one month birthday to this blog.

This blog is one month old today. Yay!
Love from Pragmatik~

Tumbling tumbleweeds.

It's like a ghost town in here!

Read this. Everyday. It's very very good. And this. Not as good as Witold's site, but good still.

Everyday. At least once.

Everyday.

Holy poop-stain that's funny!

This is.

Thank you for showing me HomeStarRunner, Chris!

Bragging rights.

I won't be a jerk here, but I will on my other blog.

On Mr. Gibson's movie: I would like to see it, if only to see what it's all about . My "Phenomenology of Love" professor is Jewish and very skeptical about the film, but he wants to see it, too. He's right; there's no point in attempting to discuss it intellligently without seeing it first. There has to be more to it than the clips I have seen on the news in this part of the country.

That being said, I am wary of it even as a Christian message. From my 12 years of Catholic school and 2 years or graduate school at a Catholic University, I remember that Jesus is supposed to have done a lot more than being executed like a criminal. What is the message that the makers of the the film, the pastors of churches here in the Heartland who gave "un-believers" free tickets (without screening the movie first, mind you) and the folks who beg us all to see it mean to express? That Jesus was great because he died and that Christianity is founded on violence and persecution?

There has to be a better message. Maybe there is. Maybe I should see it. Not wanting to is Okay, but not if you want to talk about it intelligently. So someone call me on it if I talk about it too much without seeing it, Okay?

Props to Pragmatik.

For all of his hard work getting the word out about the blog. He is a truly dedicated blogmaster.

Spoke to my professor the other day who wants our class to go see the Mel Gibson movie (our class explores a series of debates among historians, and later in the semester we will be discussing issues around Jesus' life and death). She seemed to think my not wanting to give Mel Gibson my precious $5.50 was a good enough reason not to see it. Anyway, even though she couldn't really force me to see it (hooray for being a grown-up!), I thought it was cool that she understood.

Got my Illinois voter card yesterday, just in time for the primary on the 16th (not that it matters much now). I'm sure my jury duty summons will be coming soon...

Pragmatik's new blog.

See under Blog Individual at right. Click it. It has pictures (including one of me!) and junk.

Calvin and Hobbes.

Nietzsche, weight-loss and protein bars.

The Onion (one of Chris' favorite sites, so he has already read this, I'm certain) contains this nice article about F. W. Nietzsche's long-lost weight-loss guide. I am glad they found this. We vegetarians seldom get to stuff ourselves with anything unhealthy in the name of slimming down, since we can't survive on the Atkin's "Diet."

Luckily, the Unemployed Philosophers' Guild also provides us with some Zarathustrian sustenance.

Nonetheless, both leave out the best part of the diet of the Overman: sitting with one's feel in cold water in order to work through the night like Freddy did. How could they miss it? It's one of the most important parts of the Will to Power, along with caffeine, nails, lace underwear, gel pens and a Moleskine. Nietzsche would be so pissed at them for leaving out the nails and lace skivvies that God would not be the only one he would declare to be dead.

Blog Collective spreads like butter on my fingers onto the keyboard.

We are mentioned in the February 25th post on the Best Blog in Carbondale -- very very cool. Also, we are mentioned on the other Carbondale site in the post.

Virginia, a Goucher student, has added us to the list of Goucher Blogs (since a few of us went there and we all got drunk there one time or another).

Nicola at Vanilla Sky -- one of my favorite blogs -- mentions us in today's post. And Nicola has also been gracious enough to put us in her illustrious list of links. Danke!

And we are listed under Network on Moleskinerie through some kind of magic weilded by the ever-cool Armand.

For those about to blog; we salute you!

Get your gear on.

I am nosey, and I overheard someone in the department today talking about Whitehouse.org's giftshop. There is some cool gear to be had, especially the USA: We Own The Planet thingies. I want the lunchbox...and the thong.
