based on my hourly wage and the size of the building (after analyzing the floor plans), i have calculated that hypothetically if i went on a tour of the building i would make approximately 20 dollars before passing a door that i had already gone by.

today marks my third day of work. today may prove to be slightly more interesting because my drug screening and physical results are due sometime making me finally eligible to play in the lab. for the last two days i have been doing just about nothing save playing on the computer and reading some company policy manuals.

today was my first day of work. it was good i suppose. nothing too interesting to write. you would have been better to not have checked out mattio's lounge.

its been that kind of season for the redsox. okay, so its only been one game, but still. pedro left after 7 innings allowing only one run, which wasnt even earned before the morons in the bullpen allowed 5 ninth inning runs. bunch of queers. anyway, derek jeter got mashed by the toronto catcher so i can look past the redsox loss, and yankee win. it makes me feel so good inside to see that little flamer have his shoulder get torn off. also on a good note, we played wiffle ball in the cabot center and it was most excellent. except we forgot the actual wiffleball so me and hamel had to go back and get it.

frank "the crook", is a loser. i had the unfortunate experience of spending time with this portly gentleman and i am not impressed. picture the fat annoying kid that thinks he's hilarious and you may begin to picture frank. hes the kind of jerk who rings the alarm in the elevator and knocks on every door while walking down the hall. throughout the night he challenged everyone to fight him several times and made countless moronic comments. frank is the person i wish most to not live.

there we were. walking up parker street on our way to the neighborhood mexican liquor store. due to the absurd amount of rain joe and myself were dripping wet. reshma and elise had brought umbrellas but were not entirely untouched by the rain. elise began to yell about how she got hit with a rock. i was totally confused and i looked around for something that could have hit her. and then i saw it. the pink remains of a balloon at her feet. a car had driven by and some madman had thrown a waterballoon at her legs. that guy is the man.

"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else"

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable. Nothing but the truth shall be spoken about him or anyone else. But it is more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about (the president) than about anyone else"

"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life"

these quotes, found here, and here, were spoken by Theodore Roosevelt a long long time ago. now, if you live on this planet then you have probably seen more pictures and stories about baghdad in the last week than anyone should ever have to see. this blog's only purpose is to say "FUCK YOU" to the people who say Senator Tom Daschle, from south dakota (D), was being unpatriotic in his criticisms of the president and its policies. i realize that he has since signed the bill or whatever it is they do in the senate that supports the war. the point is that how can it be unpatriotic to say the war is retarded just because it has already begun. i am sick of hearing the excuse: "its too late now, lets support the troops". i have friends in iraq right now. people saying the war is bullshit supports the troops more than not in my opinion. if it is a war we shouldnt be in, then how could we support the troops more than getting them the fuck out of iraq and the middle east altogether. morons. at any rate, this entry was spurred by a debate i saw on new hampshire public television this morning around 2. way to go NH.

before i get into bitching about the war, i would like to first add the disclaimer that i watch a variety of news networks but i post the stuff i see on the daily show because it is funny. so i am not one of those idiots who believes everything they see on a comedy news show, but it makes for better reading i think. anyway, last night i saw that Halliburton would be the company hired to save the iraqi peoples precious oil fields that they light on fire and deal with all of that mess. until the year 2000, i believe, a certain member of our government was CEO of that company. vice president DICK CHENEY. how come no one is making a big deal about this. isnt it fairly obvious that there is a conflict of interest? does the whitewater scandal ring any bells? our country is going to hell in a handbasket. might i add, that if we do not find any weapons of mass destruction in iraq, i will make it my personal mission in life to see that our government is prosecuted as war criminals for invading, and killing the people of iraq.

i saw an ad this evening for a Gameboy Advance SP. nintendo needs to give it a rest. ive had enough, and frankly i think i speak for many people when i say, you can change the name and the color as much as you want, but it is still a gameboy. cool it nintendo.

i interviewed for 4 more positions today. this company clearly had their shit together moreso than WR Grace but it is located in Marlborough, MA which is not all that close. i have one more interview set up for this week. with similar salaries (mid to upper teens) i dont really have any idea what i want to do. i thought crossed my mind today while coming up with a preliminary pro's and con's list. i do not really know what i want to do with my life. not like a ton of other people know exactly either, but that fails to comfort me much.

i have discovered that i am the only one on the planet that has seen the movie "a civil action". i asked about 10 people about it and most had never even heard about it. here is the plot line: john travolta is a boston lawyer named something like schlickman, he is approached by a client who claims to have been poisoned by illegal dumping. schlickman and his firm go on to investigate this company and find that they are indeed very guilty of dumping toxins into the boston area water supply. he runs out of money, and turns it over to the EPA who then sue the piss out of the company and all is right with the world. i bring this up because it is evidently based on a true story, and i have just been offerred a position in said company (WR Grace). here are some nice links illustrating the shortcomings of my possible future employer: chemical companies are run by scumbags, and go bankrupt because people sue them.

"i wish it would rain bullets down on ja rule" -joe

its hard to take the parental warnings for violence before television shows seriously when 3 out of 5 other stations are showing non-stop coverage of the burning buildings weve bombed in iraq.

i would like to clear up a controversial entry that i made on wednesday the 12th of march. there was some bitching, by sandy, about my facts being incorrect regarding the salem witch trials. as it turns out, she is correct. however, she evidently missed the entire point of the entry. also, as a side note, sabrina and myself were not exactly way off either. far from it actually. in fact all of this mess could have been avoided if i simply left out the word "salem". witches were thrown in bodies of water. invented by Charles the Bold in 873, God's Ordeal, or "the water proof", consisted of throwing witches into the water while they were tied up. basically witches floated and innocents did not. the theory was that the water (god) would not allow something unholy to sink in it. many times bible quotes were used to justify these actions for example: Thou shall not suffer a witch to live. (Exodus 22:18). also cited (i havent actually looked these up but i probably will tomorrow) Leviticus 20:27, Deuteronomy 18:10-12, Galatians 5:19-20. anyway, sandy, you are focusing on the wrong part of the entry.
most of my facts were shamelessly plagerized from: source1, source2, source3.

no entries in almost a week its true. but not a whole lot has happened since my last entry. finals are over and my mediocre grades are beginning to trickle in. i am still jobless although i have more hope than i did last quarter of getting a job in an acceptable amount of time. my only instant message all today was from some stranger:

Gaily212: i am a monkey
Gaily212: and i want your banana

yes, its true. someone covets my banana.
