The Great Pumpkin

Our resident apartment complex had a pumpkin carving event this evening, and I just wanted to show off the first place pumpkin!!! It was my very first pumpkin that I've carved. I decided that even though it was my first attempt, I didn't want to do an ordinary jack-o-lantern, so I went with the Darth Vader approach, and I think it turned out pretty well. I know it isn't perfect, but I'm proud to call it my pumpkin :)

BREAKING NEWS: German Study Reveals Much About My Life!!!

Okay, so this isn't breaking news, seeing that it was written in 2004, but I got a little kick out of it myself, seeing my everlasting sleeping practices. The article is here. I'm sure it will explain alot about my life habits to alot of you :)

An Encouraging Message

Has this ever happend to you? You're sitting in class (or at your job), doing the same old thing over and over again. You're bored out of your mind, thinking "when will I ever use this" or "what is my purpose in life". "Am I helping anyone?" or "Does my life really matter?" I know this has happend to me a whole lot (especially since college). I recently ran across this web site that has college student's thoughts and writings on such topics. While reading one of these entries, I thought to myself, I couldn't say it better myself. So here is the link, and I encourage everyone to read what this student had to say.

Frozen Peas, they've got my vote!!!

Where Oh Where Did The Confidence Go?

Apparently, all the small colleges around have decided that they no longer have enough confidence in their management tactics. I find it funny that all these occurences are happening at the same time. Maybe it's just another case of colleges trying to out do each other. Tusculum's story, similar to CN's, can be read here.

I suggest the colleges faculty members take a look at this book. It may help

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced her
altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me,
can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I
don't know where I am."

The man consulted his portable GPS and replied, "You're in a hot air
balloon approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above
sea level. You are 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100
degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude."

She rolled her eyes and said, "You must be a Republican."

"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "Everything you told me is technically
correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and I'm still
lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."

The man smiled and responded, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am," replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going.
You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made
a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve
your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we
met, but somehow, now it's my fault."

Oh, political humor :D
