                <description><![CDATA[ ok so i havent updated my journal in like forever, but now i have something worth while to talk about.<br /><br />yesterday our country chose its next leader, barack obama. whether or not you support the outcome, you must admit we have come a long way as a country. we have elected our first black president, when just a few decades ago blacks were discouraged from voting in the first place.<br /><br />we have come so far, but we have such a long way to go. there wer a number of ballot initiatives in multiple states to determine things like gay marriage laws.  in almost every one of the gay rights related referendums, gays lost marriage and adoption rights. as i write this, prop 8 in california, a referendum to decide whether homosexuals can marry or not and what happens to existing unions between same sex couples, is still too close to call.<br /><br /><br />hopefully i will live to see a day where all americans, black, white, gay, straight, male, female, will all have the same exact rights and oppourtunities that every other american has.<br /><br />Stock Account: <br />~<a class="u" href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/">pdstock</a> <br /><a href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/d/pdstock.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpdstock:" title="pdstock"/></a><br /><br />Friends: <br /><a href="http://red11.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/red11.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconred11:" title="red11"/></a><a href="http://xiraeraex.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/x/i/xiraeraex.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconxiraeraex:" title="xiraeraex"/></a><a href="http://seekingdivinity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/seekingdivinity.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseekingdivinity:" title="seekingdivinity"/></a><a href="http://sd-stock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/d/sd-stock.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsd-stock:" title="sd-stock"/></a><a href="http://kgrover123.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkgrover123:" title="kgrover123"/></a><a href="http://khyra.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkhyra:" title="khyra"/></a><a href="http://kwinnemuller.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconkwinnemuller:" title="kwinnemuller"/></a><a href="http://crazychick2892.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcrazychick2892:" title="crazychick2892"/></a><a href="http://redundantsheep.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/redundantsheep.jpg?1" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconredundantsheep:" title="redundantsheep"/></a><a href="http://neoshayna888.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/n/e/neoshayna888.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconneoshayna888:" title="neoshayna888"/></a><a href="http://nlearman.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/default.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconnlearman:" title="nlearman"/></a><a href="http://shadow-tigeress.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/h/shadow-tigeress.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconshadow-tigeress:" title="shadow-tigeress"/></a><a href="http://squirrelassasin.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/q/squirrelassasin.jpg" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsquirrelassasin:" title="squirrelassasin"/></a><a href="http://tacticalnuke.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/t/a/tacticalnuke.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":icontacticalnuke:" title="tacticalnuke"/></a><a href="http://aliciacat.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/a/l/aliciacat.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconaliciacat:" title="aliciacat"/></a><a href="http://cybertiger.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/c/y/cybertiger.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconcybertiger:" title="cybertiger"/></a> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ so ive decided to table the idea of moving into an apartment for now.  it looks like i wont be moving until at least the end of the school year, when all my friends get kicked out of ther dorms and either move back home or look for apartments in the city.<br /><br />i have two offers from friends for being roommates, its either going to be brian and his bf or courtney <a href="http://red11.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/red11.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconred11:" title="red11"/></a> and her bf. either wud work out great. but it wont happen until like june, meanwhile i must make the trek from belgium to milwaukee everyday.<br /><br />i started working again yesterday, it was the first day in like 3 weeks that i worked.  it was at kohler bestbuy, because i cant get in at grafton or fox point <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" />  <br /><br />i bought bose companion 3 speakers yesterday. if ever you need speakers-- for ANYTHING -- go with bose.  the sound quality is phenominal.  i went with the companion 3 instead of 2 because it has a sub (tho the bass response from the 2 is quite good as well, i just wanted more)  i had bose earbuds already and i was hooked.<br /><br />school is going good-- sorta. i think im gonna end up switching my major.  im in computer electronics right now... i like computers, but its more circuitry and shit that i have no interest in watsoever.  i think im going to try for business management (something i actually understand. im going to talk to my manager and ask her how she got to where she is now in her career)<br /><br />other than that, i really like this city. pretty much everything is within walking distance, and if it isnt i can take the bus for free with my student pass. i cant wait to move here. yay for milwaukee.<br /><br /><br />i havent really posted much of anything lately... i think its a combination of lack of motivation and lack of time. i have plenty to post (alot of it from florida still) but i just havent found the motivation to actually edit and post it.<br /><br />Stock Account: <br />~<a class="u" href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/">pdstock</a> <br /><a href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar"

                <description><![CDATA[ k so i havent posted anything in like a month, but ive been really busy and stressed out.<br /><br />i start school on aug 25th and im not looking forward to it. mainly because i have to get up at the asscrack of dawn to catch a bus to milwaukee. i also do not want to do any homework. lazy, yes, but when i have a job i really dont want anything else that take up time.<br /><br /><br />my last day at kohler bestbuy was last saturday, and i have yet to be transferred.  ther having issues finding an opening for me at fox point.  this is total horse shit because theyve known about it since february, yet none of my managers contacted anyone at the other store to work things out. and like for 2 weeks before my last day i kept asking when my first day wud be at fox point, and they said just to call and ask, turns out i was never put on the schedule, and noone ther knew anything about it. i kinda feel like ive been left hanging.<br /><br /><br />im still in need of an apartment (i had to suspend my search until i know my job situation) my roomate isnt happy with anything weve found so far. i think i need a new roommate. shes going to a different school than me and we have to try to find a place part way between our schools. id like a roomie who is going to either matc downtown or uwm or marquette, because then we can actually agree on a location.<br /><br /><br />i met someone i really like.  well actually ive had my eye on this person since they started at bestbuy a few months ago. it wasnt until my last day ther that i actually grew the balls to let them know i was interested.  it went well, ther interested too, BUT ,theyve been holding out for someone else for quite a while. so i kinda have to wait my turn.  the two are going on a date tonight i guess, and if it doesnt work out i get to take over.<br /><br />Stock Account: <br />~<a class="u" href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/">pdstock</a> <br /><a

                <description><![CDATA[ today i got back from the florida band trip<br /><br /><br />it was good<br /><br />the bus ride sucked--27 hours nonstop each way between wisconsin and florida<br /><br /><br />my favorite thing was the world showcase at epcot... each building represented a country and had store that sold things from that country.  my favorite was japan. i got some kick ass chopsticks, candy and soda. im pissed i didnt get to go to all of the countries because it was late but yea.<br /><br />i took a total of about 703 pictures.  i still need to sort them and delete the bad ones.<br /><br /><br />at festival bay mall i dropped like $70 at hot topic.  i got the new afi shirt, new afi hoodie, and afi hat and a blaqk audio shirt.  i spent about $200 total during trip. yes i love davey LEAVE ME ALONE.<br /><br />we ate at hardrock twice, it was good.  the first time we ate there paramore was going to be performing that night but the show was sold out already.  if it wasnt sold out me and courtney would have tried to go.  its ok, today i found out there going to be at summerfest in milwaukee this year.<br /><br /><br />WILL BE POSTING pics soon, both here and on my stock acount <a href="http://pdstock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/p/d/pdstock.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconpdstock:" title="pdstock"/></a><br /><br /><br />well, i was planning on uploading some today, but dA keeps giving me this error about high traffic or something.  weak.  i guess ill just work on editing the ones that need editing.  i widdled my pictures down to about 400 from 703.  i deleted all the shitty (blurry, overexposed, out of focus, overly grainy, pictures of nothing, etc.) pictures.<br /><br />i just bought sweeney todd and the panic at the disco (formerly known as <&lt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/winkrazz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";p" title="Wink/Razz" />anic! at the disco>&gt<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /> CD, Pretty. Odd.  it is nowhere near as good as the first one, but still enjoyable.  like the first one it is quite different than any other album ever released.  there are subtle hints of rock, disco, country, folk, classical, and baroque mixed in with the uniqe style of the band<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yesterday was unexpectedly my first daworking at best buy.  i called at 3 30 to ask when i worked because i was supposed to get a call on saturday or sunday and never did.  anyway she told me to come in at 4 00 and i said sure without looking at the clock.  i looked at the clock and i  had 20 minutes to get dressed and drive 25 minutes to sheboygan.  i was only like 5 mins late but it didnt matter because i was standing around waiting for a manager.<br />then i had to do all this workbook shit which is really lame and on top of it im not in computers or digi as i was told... im a cashier. lame.<br />[EDIT]<br />the second day wasnt nearly as lame...<br />i did still spend like 15 minutes standing around like a tard because the managers care more about customers than employees.  like if they were supposed to just grab something and a phone rings, they WILL answer it and usually spend like 5 minutes explaining printers or some shit.<br />i actually got to touch the register today and do some transactions.<br /><br />=========================================<br /><br />the truth paper makes me want to slash my wrists.<br />somehow im supposed to write a 3 page section using information from the surveys i got back.  i half way through the first page. due tommorow<br /><br />[EDIT]<br />finished wat i had to do like 5 minutes before i had to hand it in.<br /><br />*braces self for next segment*<br /><br />=========================================<br /><br />im currently in world of foods class, where weer supposed to be cooking foods from around the world.<br /><br />we are almost 6 weeks into the semester and weve cooked 1 thing. what the fuck.<br />most of our time is occupied by stupid fucking projects and workheets. our homework for today: word search. WHAT A FUCKING WASTE OF TIME. and of course it cant be an easy one it has to be the one where you have to look in the book for the answers to the questions. how is THAT supposed to teach us anything? questions fine. bu the word search? in the words of john stossel GIVE ME A [fucking] BREAK.<br />they are also the same god damn questions from two other complete waste of time assignments. we just got done with a bullshit presentaton project on US regional cooking. I JUST WANT TO COOK FOOD. researching it IS NOT THE SAME THING. i dont give a flyingfuck about alaska or the pennsylvania dutch (who are actually germans.  DEUTSCH MEANS GERMAN, for all you STUPID AMERICANS). i dont care about poland or its people, i want to eat the food.   fuck mexico.  fuck louisiana.  I JUST WANT TO COOK SOMETHING. after all it is SUPPOSED to be a COOKING CLASS.   <br /><br />there is nothing i hate more than projects. i dont care what class it is. powerpoints are the worst, i hate doing them.  it would be so much more efficient to teach us in one day rather than spend a week putting together a project.  the project doesnt help me learn it just pisses me off.<br /><br />[EDIT]<br />we actually got to cook something.<br /><br />the new york cheesecake was ORGASM with a fork<br /><br />we will prolly be spending 2 maybe 3 weeks researching the next thing we make <br />*cuts arm lengthwise for maximum efficiency*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

IF YOU GO TO MY SCHOOL AND ARE DOING THE TRUTH PAPER RIGHT NOW, DONT BOTHER, NONHOF WONT ACCEPT IT.  I NEEDED TO SEND OUT SURVEYS FOR THE PAPER AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS I AM DOING SO.]<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hello, my name is Paul Dettmann.   I am a senior at Cedar Grove-Belgium High School in Cedar Grove, Wisconsin.  For my English class I am writing a paper about truth.  As one of the requirements for this paper I must send out a survey to a demographic group of my choice.  I chose atheists as the group IÂd like to survey.  I myself am an atheist and recognize that not all of us have the same answers to questions of faith and not all of us have the same reasons for being atheist.<br />Please answer the following questions as best you can.  <br /><br />1.	What is pain? (please do not just give examples of things that cause pain)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />2.	What is love? (please, no examples)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />3.	Have you always been an atheist? Or did you once believe in a god but no longer do?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />4.	If you were once religiousÂ<br />...........a)	Why/how/when did you lose your faith?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...........b)	For what reason were you a believer in the first place? Was it because you were told to believe?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...........c)	What religion were you formerly affiliated with?<br /><br /><br /><br />5.	How has your family influenced your views on religion and faith?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />6.	How have your friends influenced these views?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />7.	Can you support your views on religion and faith with any scientific or philosophical reasoning?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />8.	[Finally] What is truth?<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />[You do NOT have to answer all of the following questions, they are just so I can have some background information, and maybe find a link between age, location, gender or job, and worldview.]<br />Name<br />Age<br />Education<br />Occupation<br />Gender<br />State/Province, Country<br />City<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so i have my new camera, but i have yet to take any pictures worth posting.  the chicago pics i promised a few weeks ago are admittedly not so great, so i might not post them at all.<br /><br />im considering creating a stock account for the many pictures i take that arent good enough to put on this one, and for multiple pics of the same thing.<br /><br />i wud also like to buy a subscription for this account.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />there is a possibility that we will have a snow day tommorow and i wont have to go to school. [i can at least hope for a 2 hour delay]<br /><br /><br />in other news...<br />i recently discovered a folder containing sing the sorrow. <br />i ripped it from <a href="http://red11.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/red11.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconred11:" title="red11"/></a>'s cd and forgot about the folder or something. i think i thought the rip didnt work cus the cd was scratched, turns out it was just fine.<br /><br />i had almost all the songs from it already that i had gotten from *cough* limewire *cough*<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yes, the rumors are true.<br />
<br />
i got a new digital camera. but before we go into details, il share the events that lead up to the need for a new camera in the first place.:<br />
<br />
ok so today i got home from my first day of finals and was bored and was talking to <a href="http://red11.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/r/e/red11.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconred11:" title="red11"/></a> on messenger<br />
<br />
>im bored<br />
>why dont we take pictures of those trees and then we can find the z-spot<br />
>OK!<br />
(so maybe the convo wasnt exactly like that but that was the main point)<br />
<br />
[gets into taurus, drives down KW to find these two trees in a field to take pictures of]<br />
<br />
ok so there i was trudging through a foot of snow trying to get close enough to take a decent picture with that piece of shit samsung with no optical zoom.  by the time i had gotten close enough to take a good picture my fingers wer frozen. so i finished and shoved the camera into my coat pocket.<br />
<br />
[runs back to taurus, tripping on every hidden rock under the snow]<br />
<br />
so then we drive up to sheboygan to find thicoffee place that <a href="http://seekingdivinity.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/e/seekingdivinity.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconseekingdivinity:" title="seekingdivinity"/></a> / <a href="http://sd-stock.deviantart.com/"><img class="avatar" src="http://a.deviantart.com/avatars/s/d/sd-stock.gif" width="50" height="50" alt=":iconsd-stock:" title="sd-stock"/></a> talks about    <br />
its on indiana ave and we cant find it so weer driving through this shitty area of sheboygan  a bunch of times to find this coffee shop and we cant find it.<br />
we eventually gave up and went to eat at the golden chopsticks (turns out we passed the z-spot like 3 times)<br />
<br />
and then like right before we got to the restaurant i realize i dont have my camera. no big deal, i musthave left it at home wen i had to change my wet shoes.<br />
<br />
but then i got home and discovered that... it wasnt ther <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/e/eek.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":O" title=":O (Eek)" /><br />
<br />
I LEFT IT IN THE FIELD! it prolly fell out of my pocket whilst running like a drunken retard back to the schmexy taurus.<br />
<br />
so we drive back to the field to try and find it.  my footprints wer no longer even visible.<br />
the snow that had fallen was reallylight and drifted really well an it covered up my footprints from earlier so i dint even no wer to start looking cuz i had no path to follow.<br />
<br />
so there i was again trudging through the foot of snow to find this piece of shit camera. never found it.<br />
<br />
[runs back to taurus tripping on every hidden rock]<br />
<br />
so yea... i didnt have a camera anymore. (it wasnt even my camera, it was my brother's)<br />
<br />
sowhat did i do next you ask?<br />
<br />
i drove back to sheboygan to the bestbuy to buy a new camera.<br />
<br />
did i get another piece of shit? <br />
<br />
NO!<br />
<br />
this is the one i got: h ttp://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8510989&type<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/r/razz.gif" width="15" height="15" alt="=p" title="=p (Razz)" />roduct&id=1186005750966<br />
<br />
this thing is freaking sweet<br />
<br />
<br />
canon<br />
8MP<br />
12x optical zoom<br />
macro<br />
supermacro <br />
i can change iso nd aperture and shutterspeed<br />
<br />
and i also bought a case for it<br />
so i was in my i took  the camera out of the box and stuck it into the case<br />
<br />
didnt fit<br />
<br />
wtf<br />
<br />
so i had to go back in there to return it and get  different one<br />
<br />
so yea, that was my adventure for the day<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i saw wicked today.<br />
i like.<br />
forgetting the fact it was a musical, and i dont particularly like musicals, it was really good.<br />
<br />
going down to chicago with all my friends was fun.<br />
<br />
i took like 200 pictures [deleted about... 150 of them]<br />
<br />
i posted one today and will post more later cuz its late and i need to do skool stuff<br />
<br />
we played an actually entertaining game of truth or dare on the way home [the first time i ever had a good time playing] i cant give any details but yea... [wat happens on the bus STAYS on the bus]<br />
<br />
most of chicago is REALLY SHITTY, but ther are some really nice buildings.<br />
<br />
<br />
ooo and as a bonus, I SAW A HOMELESS PERSON... YAYYYYYYYYY.   i hate people who contribute nothing to society and expect handouts.<br />
<br />
we stopped at a highway oasis near the WI-IL border and i ordered a mocha frappuccino at the starbucks...<br />
first, they were out of the mocha base so i asked if they had the light base and they did , so i just settled for that.<br />
second, the first one i got had no coffee in it. at all it was just the base and milk and ice. it tasted like frozen sugar free hot chocolate... so i sent it back and had the dude fix it.  then i got it back nd it was much better... how do u miss the coffee part? thats the most important ingredient, it wasnt even the right color. plus it cost $4. anywhere else it costs $3.50.<br />
<br />
12 ounce bottle of aquafina (ew) was $3 at the theatre. [i normally pay like $5 for 24-half liter bottles of ice mountain (yum) at the grocery store]<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Nostalgic Child of the 90Âs<br />
<br />
If you're under the age of 12...you shouldn't even read this and if you do, you should not repost this.<br />
<br />
Just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.<br />
<br />
It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ AFI is the absolute greatest band ever<br />
<br />
<br />
i saw them at summerfest last july with courtney it was the most amazing thing ever<br />
<br />
omfg they are so awesome live. ther are alot of bands that just dont do well live--afi isnt one of them<br />
<br />
i really hope they come to summerfest again next year. or even blaqk audio wud be fucking awesome too<br />
<br />
i love blaqk audio, pretty much anything davey havok does is amazing in every way shape and form.<br />
<br />
i borrowed the new live AFI cd  [i heard a voice] from courtney and i let her borrow the dvd of the same concert<br />
<br />
when i turn 18 in april im going to get my lip and eyebrow pierced and maybe get a tatoo<br />
the tatoo will most likely be the sing the sorrow afi logo with the extended f~maybe with wings, and in the center of my upper back<br />
<br />
i dont know for sure but thats just one possibility<br />
<br />
i think im going to have the eyebrow piercing on the left and so my face doesnt look like it wants to tip over im going to have the lip on the right side<br />
<br />
i dont know why im mentioning all this~~it cud have something to do with the fact that i go tired of the previous entry<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so i have this friend named melissa and two weeks ago she told everyone in my circle of friends that she was pregnant.<br />
<br />
she told us that she took a pregnancy test and it was psitive and then she went to the doctor to confirm<br />
<br />
supposedly she got a sonogram and the doctor told her she was about 4 weeks pregnant she never showed us proof of the supposed ultrasound tho<br />
<br />
so yea for two weks she had everyone believing she was pregnant.  but she is one of those ppl that lies about absolutly everything. i mean everything.<br />
<br />
past lies:<br />
<br />
raped wen she was three<br />
raped by her ex bf<br />
got pregnant from said ex bf and misscarried<br />
said ex bf pushed her down the stairs<br />
met davey havok at the rave a year ago, sold him pot, and made out with him. [first of all, afi was not at the rave anytime in the last idk, 5 years. 2nd, davey and the rest of afi are straightedge and therefore dont do drugs]<br />
is a vegetarian [she eats cheeseburgers for lunch, and pepperoni pizza]<br />
was dead for 2 minutes and went to hell [first of all, HELL DOESNT EXIST. 2nd, she was not in any accident or anything that wud have been serious enough to "kill" her]<br />
is the granddaughter of the EVIL babysitter i had when i was little<br />
is a lesbian [shes been with no girls i know of, but has been with countless men]<br />
has a sister that married another woman in appelton, WI [wisconsin has an amendment to the state constituton banning same sex marriage]<br />
was rushed to the hostpital where she almost had a misscarriage with her current "pregnancy"<br />
<br />
<br />
so yea and then yesterday, she suddenly just told my friend emerson and his gf that she actually wasnt pregnant.<br />
<br />
but heres another thing, she told our english teacher and the gym teacher that she was pregnant. how the fuck is she going to get out of this one without them finding out she is a lying sack of shit.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
we all had our suspicons from the start that she might just be making it up for attention but never told her. this just confirms it.<br />
<br />
<br />
she doesnt know that we all know that she was lying. she only told two people. but now we all know.<br />
<br />
who the fuck does that? pregnancy is not something you lie about. you lie to someone and tell them that god exists, or lie about where u wer last night. but not this.<br />
<br />
and then from wat emerson told me she brushed it off as thought it was nothing, almost like she farted or something.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ sorry about that...<br />
<br />
in my last journal like a few weeks ago i said i would start posting my madison pics.<br />
yea... i didnt yet<br />
<br />
it is the end of the quarter at school and they feel the need to cram endless projects down our throats<br />
<br />
i had to finish 1984 in like 2 days (i was given 9 weeks but i only got a quarter of the way through (300 page book)--i resorted to pirating a copy of the audiobook because ther wud be no other way for me to finish it in 2 days (i have school all day and a job and i do require sleep)) <br />
amazing book anyway read it if you havent<br />
thats not the end of it... i had to finish a project for the book in 1 weekend<br />
i made a website using frontpage       <a href="http://paul2008015.tripod.com">[link]</a><br />
<br />
the week before all that i had a current events project on the middle east that i had to do<br />
we had to make a 15 slide powerpoint and write a 2.5 page paper<br />
i happened to have the united arab emirates as my country... cool country it might be nice to go ther if the rest of the world didnt hate the united states [feel free to correct me if im wrong]<br />
<br />
and before that i had a poetry project to do in english.  i pretty much bullshat the whole thing.<br />
<br />
so yea...<br />
 i think i can start posting sometime between now and monday...<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yea i just got back from madison i took like 150 pictures which i will post later as soon as i batch and sort them.<br />
<br />
madison, though amazing, is full of weirdos<br />
<br />
first, theres a lot of bums in madison on state street asking for change<br />
<br />
also on state street, there was a guy just sitting there smoking a joint... hmm<br />
<br />
other than that walking down state street is fun theres alot of nifty little shops and stuff.<br />
<br />
then last night when we got back to the hotel at like 11pm, within five minutes of walking in the door, somebody was knocking on the door.<br />
i open the door and theres these 2 women in like there early twenties saying that weer right above them and that it sounds like walking around. but we didnt fucking do anything. and then we shut the door and my mom says "i have no idea what shes talking about, we just got here" and then i told my mom that they can prolly still hear us and then i hear the bitch outside the door saying yea i can still hear u. and then she continued to bitch and then i finally told her to go away and go back to her room.  but apparently im not allowed to say that to her because my mom bitched at me and told me to be quiet meanwhile the skank outside the door threatened to break my fucking teeth in.<br />
<br />
i opened my mouth because:<br />
1) my mom is really bad at dealing with people like that [shes too fucking passive and doesnt yell loud enough]<br />
2)the bitch was on the other side of a door that was made of metal, and was secured by a lock and a deadbolt, and one of those things that only lets the door open a few inches.<br />
3)even if the cunt did manage to gain entry into the room, im 17 and she cant touch me [and technically she can be arrested for assault of a minor when she threatened to break my teeth in]<br />
4)im like 6 inches taller than her.<br />
<br />
but then the rest of the night everyone was fucking bitching at me because i said something. but if i didnt say anything my mom would have just not said anything that wasnt retarded she would have just gone on and on about how we just got there. <br />
<br />
so yea for some fucking retarded reason im the bad guy<br />
<br />
<br />
besides all that i got 2 new posters: afi and whitestripes<br />
and a new computer mouse [my old one ate wall] the new one is kick ass its a razer deathadder and i got it at bestbuy.  fyi: NEVER BUY A WIRELESS COMPUTER MOUSE they are a pain in my assholes.  my old one was wireless it sucked ass and gave me problems so i threw it at a wall because it refused to work correctly.<br />
<br />
next to replace: wireless network card. tis a piece of shit.<br />
<br />
after that: either keyboard or video card. prolly video card.<br />
<br />
i also got this kick ass tshirt at hot topic that has blood silk screened all over it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so yesterday was our homecoming game and we won 14-6 against ozaukee<br />
<br />
before the game we had a pep rally and a parade<br />
<br />
then after school me and emerson and his gf decorated our cars with window paint in the amsterdam beach parking lot<br />
<br />
then i picked up kelly <a href="http://kwinnemuller.deviantart.com">[link]</a> [she goes to ozaukee]<br />
<br />
then we went to the game<br />
<br />
then at halftime the band played on the field<br />
<br />
then we went to amstaerdam beach and hung out ther for like an hour<br />
<br />
then we went to fifth quarter<br />
<br />
then i drove everyone back to belgium<br />
<br />
and then this morning i woke up and the house had been TP'd <br />
<br />
there was toilet paper, plastic wrap, silly string, flour, condoms, and maxipads everywhere.<br />
<br />
my car was covered in pads<br />
<br />
but yea its cool<br />
<br />
its actually kind of a good thing.  at my school you pretty much only get toilet papered if your friends do it.  noone does it to people they hate.<br />
<br />
i dont know yet if it was my brothers friends or if it was courtney <a href="http://red11.deviantart.com">[link]</a> , et al<br />
<br />
so yea i took a buttload of pics ill post them later<br />
<br />
ok all the pics are posted along with ones from the dance<br />
<br />
the dance was kick ass <br />
<br />
i take back what i said after prom in may, this dj was worse all they had was rap<br />
<br />
and it was courtney that tp'd my house<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ i got this from shadow tigress <a href="http://shadow-tigeress.deviantart.com/">[link]</a><br />
she got it from somewhere<br />
now im posting it here because because homophobia is so wrong.<br />
you dont have to be gay to copy this and post it into you own journal.<br />
<br />
Personally, I am pro-human rights and I know SO many friends who are homo/bisexual, so this strikes a deep chord for me and I know it does the same to others.<br />
<br />
*I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.<br />
<br />
*I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.<br />
<br />
*I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.<br />
<br />
*I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.<br />
<br />
*We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.<br />
<br />
*I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.<br />
<br />
*I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.<br />
<br />
*I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.<br />
<br />
*I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.<br />
<br />
*We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.<br />
<br />
*I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.<br />
<br />
*I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.<br />
<br />
*I am the highschool senior who has never had a date because there are no guys at my school who actually admit they are gay.<br />
<br />
*I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.<br />
<br />
*I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.<br />
<br />
*I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.<br />
<br />
*I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.<br />
<br />
*I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.<br />
<br />
*I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.<br />
<br />
*I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.<br />
<br />
*I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.<br />
<br />
Re-post this if you believe homophobia/transphobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so yea, i havent posted in a very long time but thats because my compy is down.<br />
<br />
i tried to reflash the BIOS but the program downloaded and installed THE WRONG BIOS thus bricking my computer.  the motherboard had to be sent to the factory in california to be reflashed. its basically a problem that can be fixed but requrires the proper equipment. anyway it was supposed to be back by last friday according to the customer service guy i talked to on the phone.  still dont have it<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /><br />
<br />
the point is all my operations were on that computer and i cant use it until i get the motherboard back.  all my data is still there, the mishap did nothing to the hard drive or anything else i just cant use the computer for the time being.<br />
<br />
i currently stuck using our first computer; a 7 year old windows 2000 box with a pentium 3 processor and 128 megs of ram (most new computers have at least one gig of ram, 8 times more than this thing. mine has 2 gigs.)  so yea going from vista to xp sucks; vista to 2000 sucks worse.  it just doesnt have the tools and conveniences that vista has.<br />
and the camera doesnt work with 2000.<br />
<br />
i have some good ideas. ive been kinda busy with school though.  im in webmasters which is really cool. we basically handle everything with the school website. check it out: <a href="http://www.cgbsd.com/index.html">[link]</a>  [NOTE: I did not create this website. i has been continuously built and updated over the years by the webmaster class.] i am in charge of the homepage. the only other webmaster with a dA account is lita <a href="http://seekingdivinity.deviantart.com/">[link]</a><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ fall is nearing and theres alot to look forward to<br />
<br />
i start my new job in october<br />
<br />
we go to madison like october 15th<br />
<br />
i love farmers markets, apples, cranberries, peppers, chili<br />
<br />
the first freeze will get rid of the fucking moisquitoes<br />
<br />
halloween- the funnest holiday that doesnt involve me getting  money from relatives.<br />
im gonna have so much fun with photography. being all dark and watnot. blood is so cool. and of  course saw 4 is coming out. i love those movies. so much blood.<br />
<br />
thanksgiving- turkey, cranberry sauce <br />
<br />
black friday-(the day after thanksgiving when many people start christmas shopping. called black friday because it is good for the stock market [black is positive, red is negative]) i just think its fun going to the mall wen there are thousands of people ther.<br />
<br />
christmas- money, gifts, food, family, the christmas trees, christmas eve at either my uncle rock's house or mine and christmas day at aunt nancys house. im an atheist so all christmas is to me is music, family, food and gifts.  i know all the stories of the birth of christ and everything that goes along with that.  i just see them as fictional and/or embelished. mary was most definitly not a virgin and she was not raped by an angel. and christ was not devine. he certainly had a following and was an incredible person but a person. <br />
<br />
the day after christmas- the day wen people once again flood the malls to return or exchange gifts. some people think its wrong to return a gift, but i see an unwanted gift as a more creative version of a gift card. usually the day after christmas u dont need a reciept, u just need to know where the thing came from and that store will give you in store credit so you can get watever you want. otherwise thing thing you got will just either end up in the next rummage sale or sit in the back of your closet collecting dust and that would just be a waste. if i gave someone a gift , i would want them to return it and get watever they want if they didnt like wat i gave them.<br />
<br />
new years- 2008!<br />
<br />
my favorite time of the year is from alittle bit before halloween to the end of christmas break<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
you may have noticed that i over explain things, but i do that because there are alot of people in countries other than the united states that might have no idea wat im talking about.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ im watching anderson cooper on cnn and right now they are talking about polygamist warren jeffs<br />
<br />
he is known as "prophet" in two cities on the utah/arizona border<br />
<br />
everyone practices polygamy, men as old as 40 are married to girls  as young as 13.<br />
<br />
it is a cult and they are all brainwashed from birth.<br />
<br />
<br />
my question isif ppl had to vote to legalize either polygamy or gay marriage in all states, which wud they choose?<br />
<br />
<br />
i wud choose gay marriage because ther is nothing wrong with it.  they are 2 adults that love eachother and the marriage wud be consensual.  marriage is for any 2 people that love eachother and want to spend the rest of their lives together.<br />
<br />
polygamy on the other hand is usually forced and theris no love involved.  it is no better than rape.  the male is usually  very old compared to the female.  these women are brainwashed into thinking that ther only purpose is to sere the man and that is not right.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
i dont care how immoral u think gay marriage is, polygamy is worse.<br />
<br />
<br />
if u have 2 or more wives, go kill yourslef now, the line to hell is filling up fast u better get in ther or ur not gonna get a good place.<br />
<br />
<br />
nah, im just kidding hell doesnt actually exist, but the concept of it was created exactly for people like warren jeffs.<br />
and murderers<br />
<br />
<br />
so, what would you choose? im curious so leave a comment.<br />
<br />
ill prolly end up bring this up in eppings class (current events)<br />
<br />
<br />
wait a minute, if like all the men in the village have like 20 wives, wudnt that make the female to male ratio like 20:1?<br />
thats not normal<br />
unless some of the women have multiple husbands also.<br />
and that could lead to one massive fugly ppl weird mormon cult orgy.<br />
<br />
hmm<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
btw anderson coopers hair ROCKS!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
the first week of school is always incredibly retarded<br />
<br />
we never do anything interesting<br />
<br />
a bunch of clueless freshmen running around practically flailing ther arms in panic...<br />
<br />
grouchy teachers pissed off they have to go back to work<br />
<br />
we of course have to go over the same fucking class rules for every single class as if theyve changed in the last 3 years at all<br />
<br />
and of course we cant just start off easy i have to have homework in some of the classes<br />
<br />
at least i don have math<br />
<br />
so yea<br />
<br />
i love band tho<br />
<br />

<br />
we are going to madison on the 15th for band day at a badger game. we went a few years ago and it was fun<br />

im really looking forward to webmasters and current events in the first semester<br />
and microsoft office II and world of foods in the second semester<br />
<br />
and also of course looking forward to band. we are going to a badger game in madison like the first week of school and then in aprill we are going to florida. other than that i just really love band. doing pepband stuff for football games and basketball games is pretty fun too<br />
<br />
<br />
this is my senior year and im hoping it turns out nicer than junior year<br />
<br />
im currently looking at colleges and will more than likely be attending MATC for a computer related degree. i dont know yet if i wanna transfer to a four year college and pursue a bachelors degree in computer science but if i do decide to go that route i wud like to transfer to either MSOE or UWM or maybe UW Madison. but yea all that is still being thought over and over again in my head.<br />
<br />
colleges in order first to last:<br />
Mlwaukee Area Technical College<br />
Milwaukee School Of Engineering<br />
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee<br />
University of Wisconsin-Madison<br />
<br />
other than that i got a new job<br />
<br />
yay<br />
<br />
its going to be at the new grocery store in belgium <br />
<br />
im told i will be working in produce<br />
<br />
which is perfect because fruits vegetables are reletivley clean and i wont have to do anything icky [ie washing dishes]<br />
<br />
i applied for a cashier position but they want to have ppl over 18 working that job so the manager doesnt have to be called out everytime someone buys liquor. [we have state and federal laws prohiting anyone under 18 from selling liquor or beer] its a retarded law because they are in sealed containers so yea. but wats retarded even more is the fact that we can stock them on the shelves and do watever else we just cant physically scan them.<br />
<br />
i will be making 7 dollars an hour [compared to 6.50 washing dishes] but am told i will be getting raises and watnot [also wat i was told wen i applied at curley in june of last year. noone has gotten a single raise]<br />
<br />
i dont yet know if i will be completely quitting at curleys<br />
it all depends on how many hours i will get at the grocery store<br />
<br />
i will prolly tell afla and pete that if the need help with a big party or if a bunch of ppl quit and/or get fired like wat happened in may that i can fill in and be a dishwasher and/or busser<br />
<br />
i think im actually gonna miss working at curleys tho<br />
i really hate washing dishes and peeling onions and cutting croutons and cleaning up litteral shit off the bathroom wall, i really like almost all of the people i work with<br />
it is actually a fun place to work because we can be as vulgar and crude as we want and noone is a big retarded prude who will complain about sexual jokes and the occasional discussion of ass to mouth and or tiddy fucking.  and anal sex, masturbation with lube, masturbation without lube, gay sex, bestiality, porn, hand jobs, blow jobs, rim jobs, fingering, facials, foot fetishes, horse penis, waynes penis, courtneys penis, tony playing with boy balls, kiras i <3 yaoi purse, dirty d, teachers having sex, fun games of wud u rather, etc.    <br />
<br />
all some of the many awesome discussions weve had back in the kitchen whilst washing dishes.<br />
<br />
anywer else things like that can get u fired<br />
<br />
and i will prolly apply for a waitstaff position wen i turn 18 [again the we cant serve alchohol thing]<br />
<br />
<br />
so yea, fun stuff ahead<br /><br /> ]]></description>

Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random. <br />
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. <br />
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. <br />
Step 4: Strike out the songs when someone guesses correctly. <br />
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating. no cheating, please! <br />

                <description><![CDATA[ i go back to school on the 4th<br />
<br />
im kinda looking forward to it but having mixed feelings cuz i know that as soon as it starts ill be miserable.  i really hate getting up at 6 am every god damn day<br />
<br />
and the homework sucks too<br />
<br />
but at least i dont have a math or scence class this year so i shud actually get very little compared to the last 3 years<br />
<br />
im not looking forward to brit lit and especially the truth paer is going to suck anus<br />
<br />
omg this is the year the band goes to florida its going to kick ass<br />
<br />
and im in webmasters this year thats going to be awesome<br />
<br />
im so glad this is my senior year<br />
<br />
i got my senior pics taken on tuesday at portraits today in port washington, WI<br />
<br />
seriously if u live in the area and are looking for a place to get senior pics done its not a bad place<br />
<br />
unlike other places that just have different background that roll down he actually takes you outside and to this really cool nature reserve type thing. or to the lake, your choice but the nature reserve is so much better.<br />
<br />
i finished my school shopping<br />
<br />
i only spent about 70 dollars total at office max and then spent 50 on shoes at rogans in sheboygan i love that place its right on taylor drive next to where the walmart used to be<br />
the shoes are cool ther adio and ther red and black and have cool sparrows on them.<br />
i got 3 pairs of jeans at bayshore [one at american eagle and the other 2 at pac sun] i love the jeans at pacsun and ther reasonably priced too [2 for 55] AE is overpriced but i do like ther jeans. abercrombie really sucks who the fuck spends 80 dollars on jeans?<br />
<br />
yessterday i went to mayfair with courtney. that was fun. i got 2 tshirts at hot topic a new afi shirt and a p!atd shirt i finally used up that giftcard thats been in my wallet since christmas.  i wanted a blaqk audio shirt but they wer out of my size. courtney got her fugly pants she needed for work at gap.  we did some ppl watching and made fun of clothes at like abercrombie.<br />
<br />
then on the way home we stopped at bayshore and went into trader joes which is pretty cool [grocery store] and before  we left we went into alterra for amazing coffee [so much better than starbucks] i felt special cuz i was the last customer of the day.<br />
<br />
i just hope this year turns out better than last year<br />
<br />
junior year was a fucking nightmare<br />
<br />
mostly because of a bitch who:<br />
<br />
threatened suicide multiple times<br />
cuts herself to get back at me<br />
called me like every day<br />
made things up and/or stretched the truth to make ppl think things that wernt true<br />
threatened me with glass<br />
attacked me physically<br />
followed me around<br />
was just plain embarrasing to be associated with in any way<br />
went off her meds and went psycho [more]<br />
made up a stupid lie that i was a closet gay [that part didnt piss me off so much, it was the reason she did it. she tried to convince everyone i was gay because she thought it wud make everyone hate me] it didnt work and now everyone hates her more. and now i know that my friends wud still be my friends even if i was gay. it turns out that noone really even cared all that much wen she told them. i guess i dont live in such an intolerant town after all. altho our school does have its little hitlers and jesus freaks that think everything is a sin.<br />
she tells people that i said something about them behind ther back to get them to hate me.<br />
went to jail and a crazy house for a month making my life so much better<br />
has left me alone all summer thankfully<br />
otherwise i might have killed her<br />
with a car<br />
or at least broken her face<br />
with a bat<br />
<br />
anyway i just want this year to be better<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ we went to the wisconsin state fair today<br />
<br />
i brought my camera but it never left my pocket<br />
<br />
of course we had to go see the horses and cows and goats and bunnies and sheep but once we got past that it was ok.<br />
<br />
we ate food<br />
<br />
we ate food<br />
<br />
we ate more food<br />
<br />
we went into that huge building with all the salesmen peddling their shit (you know wat i mean:  the as seen on tv type products, hot tubs, food products, sauces, those lifetime guarranty knives that really actually suck and they have really shitty plastic handles, beds, shiatzu massagers, and all that other stuff of the like...<br />
<br />
anyway ther was this guy selling hot sauces of varying tastes and hottness levels. i skipped right past the mild and went for the hottest sauce they sold...<br />
OMFG<br />
this stuff rates at about 210,000 scoville units <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scoville_units">[link]</a> it actually wasnt too bad UNTIL I SWALLOWED IT.  it was fine when it when it was in my mouth, it tasted like shit, but wasnt too bad. but then it came time for me to swallow the stuff... I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE.   my eyes immediatley stated watering and i frantically looked around for milk... ITS THE FUCKING WISCONSIN STATE FAIR WHY CANT I FING ANY MILK?!?!?!?!?!?   when i finally found some i didnt even pay for it before i opened it and started chugging. <br />
this stuff was made of RED SAVINA HABANERO PEPPERS.  <br />
my legs went numb my hands fingers face and arms went numb my chest felt like it was being crushed.<br />
so yea it was pretty horrible.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ yea i got tired of looking at my other entry.<br />
<br />
<br />
i applied at bestbuy still waiting for a call.   i guess there is some little trick to passing that stupid test. i think wat it looks for is consistency. like ittl basically ask u the same question twice but rephrasing it and i guess u shud put the same answer for bot so if it asks if u like to talk alot in one and in another it asks if u are shybe sure that u dont put down that u are shy and talkitive - it prolly wont work and the application gets thrown out by the server and noone ever looks at it. i really wish that they had paper applications.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok i decided it was time to replace my last entry with a new one but iwould still like comments on it<br />
<br />
please read journal entry: "god" dammit<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
by the time the 08 elections come around i will be old enough to vote but i think this will be a difficult election for the country<br />
<br />
i was looking at the various websites of the various candidates and noticed a a few things<br />
<br />
first of all, all of the republican candidates oppose gay marriage which isnt at all suprising but what suprised me is that the democrats neither supported nor opposed it. most of them made no mention whatsoever on that particular issue.  my guess is that they do not want to piss anyone off: if they say they support it, the god pleasing sheep also know as voters will not vote for them. if they say they oppose it they will also not likely get the vote, therfor they make no mention of it.<br />
<br />
one thing all the candidates had in common was the unnecesarily long winded explaination of where they stand on the issues. like instead of sayibg they are pro life or prochoice they go off and stretch it into a whole paragraph that gives no more information than the fact that they are prolife<br />
<br />
at this point i really dont like any of them<br />
<br />
<br />
ideal president:<br />
<br />
pro life - except in cases of rape or incest or if going through with the pregnancy could harm the mother.  or if the fetus is deformed or has a defect that would not let it live very long after the birth.<br />
<br />
opposes an amendment banning gay marriage in all states - (or the equivalent)  who really cares if it is called marriage? as long as said partnership provides the same legal benefits as a traditional marriage.<br />
<br />
actually gets something done in iraq - i am opposed to the troop withdrawl for a few reasons. one of them being the collapse of any progress we have made in the last 4 years. i think we can all agree that george bush has accomplished very little.  he started something he cannot finish. if we pull out now, iraq will spiral into a civil war and will most likely fall to terrosist entities or another dictatorship.<br />
<br />
will fight to end the threat of global warming in a sensible way - you cant expect the american people to start driving smart cars or not driving at all.  we have not built a new nuclear powerplant in  decades and i think now is the time.  it is a clean source of energy for areas that donot recieve sufficient amonts of sunlight year round to make solar powerstations completely viable.  though i wud support use of solar energy where there are sufficient amounts of sun light year round such as in neveda.  its also time to build more wind stations. who the hell cares if birds fly into the blades? if there dumb enough to do that they deserve to get chopped up. survival of the fittest byotches. <br />
if every small town had one or two wind powered generators so much energy could be saved. <br />
<br />
supports the 2nd amendment - i think all law abiding citizen should have the right to own firearms.  i also support the right to carry concealed weapons for personal protection as long as the carrier has no criminal record. guns do not kill people. people kill people. if guns kill people, that also means spoons made rosie odonell fat.<br />
<br />
will work to improve our nations schools - our inner city schools are decidedly bad.  the school you go to should have nothing to do with you race. there is no reason kids shud have to be brought to school by bus when there is a closer school for no reason other than to "diversify" the school population.  they sud go to the school closest to there home, or also have the right to choose for themselves which school to attend.<br />
<br />
public school sex ed programs - shud not consist of abstinance only lessons but rather safe sex practices and relationship help.  because u know wat? the kids who are going to have sex regardless of what the teacher says are going to be having it without protection or anything. some idiots also think that anal wont result in pregnancy. well yea it can thats wat a butt baby is, duh.  so yea obviously not enough is being done.<br />
<br />
supports stem cell research - using stem cells from embryos set to be destroyed anyway. why are we putting masses of cells before the millions of sick americans that will benefit from the cures they cud one day provide. they are not lives they are clumps of cells in tubes.<br />
<br />
i dont care if our next president is black, latino/a, a woman, a man, jewish, gay or whatever as long as they arent extreme lefties or religion driven psychos<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok today on the daily show someone mentioned this site called conservapedia.<br />
i decided to check it out.<br />
<br />
that is the worst website i have ever been on<br />
<br />
i wud call myself a conservative but that website makes me wanna vomit<br />
<br />
first of all, everything is WRONG.  they classify gayness as a disease. ok fine-now im gonna classify christianity as the longest festering, spreading, and most out of control disease of all time.<br />
<br />
and worst of all, THERE ARE VERY FEW PAGES THAT ARENT LOCKED FOR EDITING.<br />
<br />
i visited 10 pages and 9 of them wer locked. that completly goes against everything that wikipedia is<br />
<br />
they present everything as a one sided fact, even if it can very easily be disputed, such as the existence of "god"<br />
<br />
"As opposed to God, other gods have been proposed throughout the history of mankind. The term god is applied in a general sense to any deity that is or has been worshiped as part of a theistic belief system. The capital G is reserved for the one true and living God." -conservapedia article "God"<br />
<br />
ok, now what if you wer bhudist? hindu?  ancient greek, egyptian or roman?<br />
<br />
or atheist?<br />
<br />
ok so, the word "god" is used in the same way as the word moon.  europa and charon are boths moons, but earth has a moon that we just call moon. does that mean the other ones dont actually exist?<br />
<br />
<br />
i am an atheist. god, i do not believe in.  there is nothing wrong with being gay. and if you are gay you arent going to hell because hell does not exist.<br />
<br />
<br />
you know what? who cares that the bible says about homosexuality? think about what the bible is. ITS A BOOK! it is NOT the word of god. its a fucking stack of papers. stop wasting your fucking time, you dont have much of it. your life shud be for other things and not be occupied by worshiping a figure that doesnt exist, did NOT create the universe, did NOT create the earth, did NOT create YOU, and can suck my fucking cock!<br />
<br />
<br />
how can christians say that god loves everyone if at the same time they believe he will cast certain people into hell because of the gender that they are attracted to?  and if god supposedly created you, and you are gay, wouldnt that be his will?  his "design". "plan"?<br />
<br />
<br />
and if god really does cast gays and nonbelievers into hell, why do christians take it upon themeselves to detest and ruin the lives of said individuals?<br />
<br />
it says nowhere in the bible that gays need to be tortured or made to fear for ther lives or feel bad for the way that "god" made them.  <br />
<br />
if "god" has a problem with gays, thats HIS business not yours<br />
<br />
i have friends that are gay and they dont deserve that kind of treatment.<br />
<br />
sorry for my rant i just really hate christians that are hippocrites and conservatives that have ther heads shoved so far up ther asses for the warmth they think is coming from god that they cant ever focus on the issues that really matter.<br />
<br />
<br />
-please, i am open to all input on this topic, leave any comments that you have-<br />
<br />
                                                                                                -pdettmann<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ok so its summer now but yea im just really fucking bored<br />
<br />
my sansa came in the mail today its pretty fucking awesome but i quickly became bored with it because of its simplicity<br />
<br />
i had to work today<br />
<br />
im starting to hate my job<br />
<br />
its quite possibly the most unrewarding job anyone cud have<br />
<br />
i have never gotten a raise in the year ive been ther and i wash dishes and it sucks ass<br />
<br />
im thinking about applying for a geek squad position at the best buy in shebaghdad (sheboygan)<br />
<br />
at least that will pay more and its a promotable job<br />
<br />
i want to get A+ certified in computer repair but it costs like $150 and im not quite sure if i will get a big return on my investment<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ midway in our lifes journey, i went astray<br />
from the straight road and woke to find myself<br />
alone in a dark wood<br />
<br />
what what wood that was! i never saw so drear,<br />
so rank, so arduous, a wilderness<br />
its very name gives a shape to fear<br />
<br />
death could scarce be more bitter than that place<br />
but since it came to good i will recount<br />
all revealed to me by gods grace<br />
<br />
how i came to it i cannot rightly say<br />
so drugged and loose with sleep had i become<br />
when i first wandered there from the true way<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ todays pain started with me filling up my gas tank. i had probably just enough to drive a mile to the gas station. it cost me fifty fucking dollars to fill up the tank which i hadnt had to do in like a month and a half.<br />
<br />
<br />
then i went to walmart with my dad and when we got home we had to wash all of the cars with the new carwash stuff we got at walmart. btw, never buy the autodry mr clean carwash kit, it is absolute garbage and a waste of 15 dollars (luckily my dad paid for it ^_^) when we wer done the cars looked just as bad and they had been before we washed them, -a few bugs on the front but thats only because i scrubed it with a brush and some soap.<br />
<br />
<br />
then i made beer brats ^_^  <br />
<br />
i think i used 4 cans of beer and 1 onion.   then i boiled the brats and the onion in the beer until they wer done, then i put them on the grill to brown them--they wer yummy.<br />
we like the johnsonville brats but you pretty much can only get them in wisconsin (and maybe northern illinois)  if you dont like brats, its prolly cuz uve never been to wisconsin, the brats sold elsewhere are horrible.<br />
<br />
then i had to finish my damn english project<br />
<br />
and now im writing this thinger<br />
<br />
and then i have to go to school tommorow <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/f/frown.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":(" title=":( (Sad)" /> but that s ok because this is the last week before summer vacation<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ for english we had to read this novel called a lesson before dying (i highly recommend that you NEVER read it) i can honestly say it was one of the dumbest books ive had to read since middle school. i didnt actually make it through the whole thing. i got a quarter through and couldnt go on it was so dumb. but luckily ther is a sparknotes version on the sparnotes website.<br />
<br />
anyway i still have to finish (and by finish i mean bullshit my way through) the reading journals by friday. then i have to finish the actual project by next monday. on top of it i have to read all of the sparknotes summarries because she quizzes us on it by friday.<br />
<br />
its the end of the school year and i have no will to do anything i just want this year to be over<br />
<br />
and then next year im a senior<br />

jenny schmidt aka xxlonelyxgurlxx is a psychotic loser who will say anything for attention.<br />
the bitch got into my email account changed my password and started emailing people from my account say that i was gay and liked this guy in my class that we call friberg.<br />
she claims to be a lesbian but noone believes her (mainly because she did her male cousin) and because she is [or was] on like 7 different medications for various psychotic disorders but her brilliant doctors decide to take her off all but her allergy meds. and now shes more irrational than ever.<br />
<br />
she follows me to my classes and started threatening me in emails [i retook control of my account]<br />
<br />
shes threatened suicide and now i say let her. its her decision and i wont stand in her way.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
