the all-star voting for baseball is a sham. if you dont think its a popularity contest then you probably got voted in. jason giambi winning by a landslide should be a good indicator. how about jeter cruising in with nomar second ... neither deserve to be there. the all-star game is a disgrace. its a bunch of players who have had good years, regardless of whether they are having one now. bad. very bad.

as you may have guessed, my return to classes have seriously impeded my ability and desire to write daily entries. that said, i will do my best. check this out.

i finally got around to reading the article concerning barry bonds and his allegations that boston is racist. though the article was written for the boston globe (naturally slanted ...) i have come to the conclusion that barry bonds is an ignorant stupid man.

i think my tv is broken again. i will take lives.

my little brother graduated high school this year. good job mike. graduation was a little weird. the valedictorian (sp?) was seen writing his speech while the graduates were walking in. his speech was bad. so was the keynote speaker. i did get to see a bunch of fools i hadnt in awhile. so that was neat.

ryan turned 21 sat. night/sun. morning. he was a drunken idiot.

some may recall a story about me getting hassled at the Hanover Food Stop about some tobacco products. in quick review, they wouldnt sell me cloves because my license was expired, despite me being 20 and providing dozens of other id's. last friday night, emerson, danny and i went into the very same food stop to buy some beer. emerson recognized a girl, so he called her over, said hello, introduced everyone, and then a brief conversation occurred. after leaving the lovely hillary we went to the counter to pay for our alcohol. we were prompted for our id's which we immediately presented to the cashier, who we'll call Mr. Jackass. after examining them, he inquired as to the location of the girl we were talking to. we didnt know. he snatched our beer to the other side of the counter and stated forcefully that he would need to see her id. as it turns out, hillary is not 21. as we also soon learned, we (as buyers of alcohol) are forbidden to talk to anyone in the store that is not of age. keep in mind, in NH beer is sold in convenience stores and gas stations so it is very reasonable someone not of age would be in the store. after all four of us began screaming at Mr. Jackass in protest of his ridiculous claim, he offered to call his manager. he quickly retracted this offer the second we took him up on it. we got the managers number and called her anyway. i didnt talk to her but suffice to say she shall be referred to as Mrs. or Ms. Jackass. afterall, she is the manager of a Food Stop. after approximately 20 minutes of arguing our case, namely that we were in no way buying alcohol for this girl i just met, we left angrily to rapidly consume the alcohol we already had. evidently Mr. Jackass had called the police (to what end ....?) though i (still mostly sober) was ushering my drunker companions into vehicles and out of hanover. no doubt Mr. Jackass painted quite a picture for the only slightly smarter policeman. i wish i was there to beat them both in the head with a case of beer. heres a little rule of thumb Mr. Jackass: assume almost everyone is smarter than you. because they are. long ago EVERY SINGLE underage drinker learned to not be in the store when alcohol is being bought for them. ask any teen across the country and they will tell you the same. we are smarter than that. anyway, avoid at all costs the Hanover Food Stop. i will never again do any kind of business there.

awww crap.

i may have already stated my point on this particular subject, but ive been thinking about it a lot lately due to an annoying seatbelt campaign: 'click it, or ticket'.

i think that all so-called common sense laws should be repealed. such laws include the motorcycle helmet requirement, seat-belt laws, and requirements to have insurance on your car. no need to protect those WITH MY MONEY (where do you think taxes go?) who wouldnt do it for themselves. ive never seen or heard of anyone being killed or injured because someone else didnt wear their seatbelt or helmet. these people really do deserve what they get. its a little thing called natural selection. in this day and age, it has taken on a different form with many more ways to "survive", or not get killed. if people wish to intentially put themselves in danger, hey, best of luck asshole. there is no need to set up roadblocks to check for seatbelts (ive seen them and been stopped in them in vermont). nevermind a statewide campaign to 'raise awareness of the good practice of wearing your seat-belt' complete with a series of television and radio commercials as well as countless billboards. this is money that DOES NOT need to be spent.

at this point and time i would like to point out that for that reason, NH is awesome. still with no car insurance requirement, lax gun laws, an 18 and under seatbelt policy (raised from 12 and under within the last 10 years), and no motorcycle helmet law (i think). and guess what? no income or sales tax either ... what a wierd coincidence.

the more stupid people we keep alive, the more stupid things we will see people do. more thoughts soon. maybe.

in a sure sign of increased laziness with our speech, ive been noticing the annoying style of AOL IM lingo (lol, wtf, brb, etc.) being used in actual dialogue. here are a few of the examples, followed by there full length counterpart:

whatev .... whatever
dec .... decent
def .... definitely

This has to stopped.

is there anything better than watching girls run? yes, yes there are. but it is still REAL good.

i have begun an independant investigation into the passing of our former president Ronald Reagan. Evidently both the government and subsequently the stock market will be shut down leaving millions of workers the day of to grieve. chris hamel, my roomate, is one of these workers and he seems to be decidedly delighted that this great american hero has passed. he seems a little too delighted. and a little too raph.

new term: 'dicknic'
meaning: a picnic used as an excuse to have sex in a park/car near a park.

i heard something in the gym that astonished me today. there are many people (too many in my opinion) that think president bush and his cronies are doing a good or even a great job. this boggles me to no end.

reagan died. guess he was a good man. RIP dude.

ive been working on writing a philosophy book. as of now, its titled: "How Janet Jacksons Nipple Ruined the World".

has anyone checked out the 10 day weather forecast (ever, not this week neccesarily)? what a joke. if they cant get it right the day before, what are the chances they can forecast it a week and a half in advance. not very good, thats what the chances are. and i need forecasts that are a little better than: Partly cloudy with a chance of precipitation.

lots of stuff has happened since i last wrote. as is my style, ive forgotten all of the details and remember only the major stuff. we moved. we had a party. ive been working. we have no television or internet. i want my dog.

first, moving sucks asshole. my condolences to the dooling family who are moving this weekend. its bad. i live at 1472 tremont st now. come visit.

had a party saturday night. pretty good. i didnt go out friday night cause i was sorta depressed/pissed. dont know why. something has to be done because this once a weekend bullshit isnt gonna cut it.

due to the aforementioned move we have no television or internet service making being at home sort of lame cause you cant do anything except sleep and eat.

preparations continue for the arrival of my dog which should be relatively soon. approximate date of arrival: June 26th.
