Yankee tickets.... nice

Found out that my Mom and Dad got Yankee tickets for the August 25th game against the Blue Jays, that'll be great. Third base line in the middle tier, which isn't bad at all. So that was some great news for the day.

Also found out I will be working with at a credit union this summer, so that's good too. 10-2 every week day, which is great hours.

Hmm, what else... school's almost over so I've been really busy with school work lately, finished my pig/plant projects and wrote 3 essays in about a week. Nothing much has been happening but this weekend will be a good break, though I will have to begin to study for some tests. Anyway, that's about it for now.

A Letter From the President (Received in E-Mail)

I got this in an e-mail, thought it was good, think about it.

WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

My Fellow Americans:
As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed.

Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is now complete.

This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is now to begin the reckoning.

Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are some of the countries listed there.

The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the world's nations are on that list. My press secretary will be distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the costs of the Iraqi war.

The American people are no longer going to pour money into third world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on corruption.

Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from the face of the earth.

Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize? Try France, or maybe China.

To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Yo, boys. Work out a peace deal now. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can go to Russia for negotiations. They have some great palaces there. Big tables, too. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help, comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped, shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New York.

A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are likely to be seeing a l ot more of each other, you folks might want to try not pissing us off for a change.

Mexico is also on List 2. President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep, border security. So start doing something with your oil.

Oh, by the way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty - starting now.

We are tired of the one-way highway.

It is time for America to focus on its own welfare and its own citizens. Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them by saying, "darn tootin."

Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate World Cup Soccer from America. To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you and we won't forget.

To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop dead.

God bless America.
Thank you and good night.

Today's "Ju-ism"

Here's what Ju said to me today when he was talking about some girl cutting him off when he was walking to class:

Ju: And then she turned right near me.
Kevin: Wait, in a car or something?
Ju: No, but the girl was pretty big...

I dissected a fetal pig today, and thought it would be bad at first because of the smell, but it wasn't bad at all. Looks like this (don't look if you don't like organs and stuff like that...). A very non-eventful day really, but that's ok. Going to be studying tonight which blows but hopefully the Yankees will pull off a miracle and actually win today...

Dane Cook and Tourgasm

Dane Cook came, and I haven't laughed this hard since me and MVP were sitting right next to and talking to Ju on the phone, pretending to be a frat kid inviting him to a party, and having him believe it. It was great, the opening guys were funny as hell and the whole thing was just huge for SU. He did two sold out shows here, and this was the only place where he did two shows. Some really funny highlights, might not be exact quotes:

"The one kid that everyone hates in every group, and everyone makes fun of him, you know who he is. His name is Bryan, and not the one that has an 'i' in there, but the one that has a 'y!' Yeah, that's the kid!" (Bryan was going crazy after that one, the girl that everyone made fun of was named Karen...)

"Someone just sh!t on the coats!"

"I want to look through the painting in my dream house and just use those trap doors! BAM!"

"I walked over to the kid, hit his ice cream out of his hand and into his face, and yelled, 'Don't forget me!' He'll tell his family and friends, some guy ran over and hit the ice cream in my face and said 'Don't f*cking forget me!' Remember, he added the f*ck, I didn't say that originally..."

Check out the rest of the tour dates here. Awesome show, they filmed it too so it'll be on either Comedy Central, HBO or on a DVD, so check it out. That's about all for now, got an early day tomorrow. Later.

A tribute to the soldiers

Just found this online as a tribute to the soldiers fighting for us.

Another E-Mail....

I got this in an e-mail, and I agree. Leave comments if you like.

------------------------------------------

No Longer Silent

Paul Harvey says, "I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.' I don't agree with Darwin,but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory of evolution. Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a 0-second prayer before a football game.

So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

"But it's a Christian prayer," some will argue. Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country founded on Christian principles. According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-1. So what would you expect - somebody chanting Hare Krishna? If I went to a football game in Jerusalem, I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer. If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad, I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer. If I went to a ping-pong match in China, I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha. And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit. When in Rome. "But what about atheists?" is another argument. What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds.

If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of earplugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand. Call your lawyer. Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's foundations. Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying. God, help us. And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.

The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard, that the vast majority don't care what they want. It is time the majority rules! It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray, you don't have to say the pledge of allegiance, you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your right. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away. We are fighting back. And we WILL WIN! God bless us one and all, especially those who denounce Him. God bless America, despite all her faults, she is still the greatest nation of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God."

May 2005 be the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions. Keep looking up. IN GOD WE TRUST.

Another Monday has begun.....

Probably one of the coolest things I have ever heard of in sports.... check it out here.

Some girl was walking down the steps today with an iPod and was really blasting music pretty loud, and I heard it. I was laughing because I heard Numa Numa blasting in someone's ear...

Not an eventful day really, just scheduled my classes, and my schedule is so far looking like this. Not too bad, lots of science but I am probably going for Biology so I will need them, at least no Organic Chemistry until junior year.

That's about it, gotta write a paper for Wed, and I want to get it done since Dane Cook is coming tomorrow!!!

Later mengs.

Nice Red Sox fan, nice.....

So you have to go and mess up a game that was going perfectly fine. Sure, the Yankees were losing, but I'd rather have the Yankees lose without any conflict then have this kind of crap going on the field. If I was Sheffield, I would have taken that ball and thrown it at your face, and hope that it would bash your nose right into your brain. Well, maybe not that bad, but my point is, the ball would be in your face. That kind of crap is uncalled for, if it was a Yankee fan that did it to a Red Sox player, I would be just as pissed. It's a game, nothing more, nothing less. You don't hit a guy in the face because you don't like the team. Lay off the booze and enjoy the game, don't act like an asshole.

Though I am a Yankee fan (obviously), this post isn't bashing anyone but that one asshole fan, who screwed it up for everyone. Good thing Sheff held back, I could see him severly hurting that guy. Boston's security was on the ball on this one, so nice job to them.

This stuff's gotta stop, I'm sure many agree, even Boston fans... it's baseball, not boxing.

Of course, this is what the media shows... thanks ESPN.

Sheffield and Fan
Caption: "Gary Sheffield takes a swipe at a Boston fan in the 8th inning."

That's it for now. Later.

Yankees 5, Red Sox 2

Thanks for the feedback Doty and Frank, I appreciate it.

Well, today was all right, not too extraordinary, but it was overall a good day. Yankees won, I got some of my scheduling figured out, kind of nervous about going with Biology because it will be hard, but I will try my best at it. I really would like to become a veteranarian, but we will see if I will be able to. I think if I put my mind to it, I can definitely do it, but time will tell. Can't wait for the weekend and then next Tuesday, because Dane Cook is coming! If you havent heard him, go to http://www.danecook.com and check him out. Really funny guy.

Hmm, nothing else to say. Check out Frank's new gaming blog: http://gamespace.blogspot.com/

Here's the Giants 2005 Schedule, God I can't wait for football to start... at least we have baseball and the NFL Draft to keep us going.

Topic of today: WAR

In US History today, we were talking about the Vietnam War, and also, about how many Americans did not approve of it. Basically, the war was fought to stop the spread of terrorism. It is considered a loss in history, though, we did stop the spread of communism, which was the goal, so isn't it a win? However, that's really besides the point. I want to discuss why people should support the troops, even if they do not support the war.

Think about this, there are people about my age, maybe your age, depending how old you are, that are over in the Middle East using machine guns and other weapons to kill terrorists. Now, imagine how hard it would be for a person to kill another person, assuming you are not insane. It must be very difficult. Now, imagine someone coming over to the country, and telling you, as a soldier, that people in the country you are fighting for do not support you (cough, Hillary Clinton, cough). So basically, you are in the Middle East, killing people to save your fellow countrymen, and then someone tells you that nobody likes you, and so now how do you feel? You are doing something that is extremely hard to do for no reason at all? These people did not choose to go to war, they did not choose to start killing people. Sure, they chose to go into the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, etc. But they did not choose to kill people. They chose to serve their fellow Americans, which is most likely, if you are reading this, you.

Now, you may not agree with this war, or you may agree with it, but let me get one thing straight. You should support the troops, who are giving their lives for you. People seem to be forgetting what happened on September 11, 2001. Sure, it was 3 and a half years ago, but look at some World War II veterans. Do they forget Pearl Harbor? Absolutely not. Do they forget the Battle of Normandy? Definitely not. Should we forget 9/11/01? No way. I am really sick of people always protesting this war in the way that they do. Protesting will not solve anything, and some people need to understand this. Sure, you may not like the reasons that we are in a war, and that is absolutely understandable. But you really need to support the young people that are fighting in it, without support, they will not survive. I always hear, "Bush is terrible because he went to war," and all this other stuff. You may not agree with this, other presidents went to war for other reasons, and they do not take half of the crap that Bush does. Look at Kennedy and his failed attempt to kill Castro, and everyone thinks he was the best President ever.

Basically, my point is, that Americans should really be behind the troops. The reason that I bring this up is around college campuses, since I am on one I can see, many people are always protesting the war, saying how bad Bush is, but never saying that they support the troops. You would think that when people were asked, "Do you support the war?" They would say something like "Yes, I do" or "No, I do not, but I do support the people that are in a foreign country that are fighting for us." Does it happen? Not much. This is why I wrote this in comparison to Vietnam, everyone treated those veterans so badly, and many of them are still traumatized because of it, even today. We do not want this happening again, and I don't think it will, but with some people, you never know. Well, that's all for now, I have to go to Astronomy.

If you see a soldier, do me and your fellow Americans a favor. Go up to him or her, shake their hand, and say "Thank you for your service." I bet that will brighten their day.

End of rant. ;)

Got this in an e-mail....

TRY THIS

- Enter MEXICO illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
- Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
- Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
- Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc. Procreate abundantly.
- Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural U.S.A. thing. You would not understand, pal."
- Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
- Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
- Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
- Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico. Drive around with no liability insurance......and ignore local traffic laws.
- Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world... except right here in the United States... Land of the naive!

If you agree, pass it on. If you don't, go ahead and try the above in Mexico or Iraq.

Praying for the Pope

Right now, I am just praying for the Pope. I feel so sorry for him, he has been in so much pain for a long time. :(
