Still pissed at nfl.com

Swearing ahead.... but I have to let my emotions flow and truly, this is what I feel NFL Field Pass is.

I don't know why nfl.com had to make that NFL field pass piece of shit. I mean, why do I need to PAY to listen to the Packer game? It's so stupid. I never had to in the past, and now all of a sudden I have to. It's bullshit!!! And it's expensive!! 10 bucks a month. I hope no one buys it so they lose more money and then they have to get rid of it and make broadcasts free again. It's CRAP! I don't know why the NFL absolutely HAD to do that. Why why why? I mean, what if that was the only way you were able to get the games you wanted, and you were a poor college student? Now, you are forcing them to pay to get what they want. I guess you can't get ANYTHING for free nowadays... not even the fricking RADIO.

Prayer is an awesome thing.

What a night. So I go to IV, and it was fun. We had a humor night and everything was out of order. Then the men had a thing going on and we watched Game of Death (the bad 70's version, not the one they just made the way Bruce Lee intended). So we are watching Game of Death basically making fun of the movie when someone gets a call on their cell saying that there are fire trucks in front of the New Halls. So we decided to pray for them. While we were praying it was confirmed that the TKE house had a fire and someone had to go to the hospital. We decided as a group to walk over there and pray in front of TKE and pray for the guys over there. When we got there there were fire trucks in front of the place. The house wasn't damaged much, I couldn't see any fire or smoke or anything. But there were people crying and in a state of shock and disbelief. We gathered around a group of TKEs and just comforted them and prayed for them, and it was an awesome thing. They confided in God to help them as a brotherhood to get through this tragedy. Afterwords we prayed some more and it was just an undescribable feeling I had. I don't know how to explain it. On one hand, I'm in shock about what happened, on the other I'm glad that we were there for them and that something good will come out of this situation. It was cool - we brothers in Christ were praying for the brothers of TKE. I hope everyone there is OK, but since we are such a small campus we are going to be affected by this for a while.

Anyways, whoever reads this, whether or not you read this, say a prayer for Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. They are hurting and they need all the help they can get right now. I know what we did helped give some of those guys at least a little comfort in this confusing time.

Papers.

I was going into the developmental timeline paper fearing the worst, but to be honest it wasn't that hard to write. I expected it to be some crappy thing to do and it would take forever, and here it is almost done. So yay.

I thought there was a candlelight vigil on campus today but there wasn't. In any event, remember 9/11. It's not as big of a deal as it was last year for me. I've pretty much gotten over it, and I support our president but I just wish that all of this fighting would end. I want bin Laden and Saddam gone so we don't have to go through all of this shit that we haven't found them yet and stuff. And I want them gone so no more terrorist attacks will happen. Why do those middle eastern countries hate the US so much? Why are they so violent? Why are they letting their kids run around the streets with guns? It's stupid, yo.

COMMENT ON THIS.

Should I have the titles? Please state your opinion. I mean I like having titles but I don't like how they look on the template.

UPDATE: I like them a little better but something is missing, like in between entries or something. There is a gap there. Hmmm

I do....

But I'm not really satisifed with how it looks. Ah I'll work on it later. I have MVOP so bye.

OK I think I got them now.

Let's hope so at least.

Dag, yo.

Nope it didn't. Schiesse. I guess that means I have to get a new template or figure out how to put titles in in the current template... I'll have to ask some people I guess. Anyways, I'm not going to change it right now at least. I don't really have time, this has been one of the busiest days of the year (take that back THE busiest day) and it's not over yet I still ahve MVOP.

I HAVE TITLES NOW!!!!

I hope. This is only a test, since Blogger got all of these things now that were for Blogger Pro users only and now are for everybody. Which means that Blogger just got a hell of a lot better.
Instead of filling out another stupid blog quiz thing that pretty much explain the same thing I posted in the last 100 quizzes I did, I noticed an idea of a similar sort of thing... Here goes.

S "Subdivisions" by Rush
P "PReality" by Newsboys
E "Everybody" by Homestar Runner
N "New Country" by Jean-Luc Ponty
C "Clocks" by Coldplay
E "Everybody (Move Your Feet)" by Junior Senior (OK so I kind of played around it a little.)
R "Roundabout" by Yes
L "Lothlórien" by Enya
E "(Kyrie) Eleison" by Mr. Mister (Another one I played around with; OK how many E song names are there)?
N "(I)n The Light" by DC Talk
T "Take Me Away" by Lifehouse

OK so it didn't work as well as I thought. I can't help it. The letters in my name repeat too much.

So yeah the power went out last night for about 2 hours. It was a lot of fun actually. Someone wrote in their away message something like "Power goes out, everyone goes outside. Power is on, everyone goes to sleep." Well yeah. That's how it went. So here is my experience:

12:10. As in ten after midnight. I'm engaged in a not-too-important conversation on AIM with somebody when all of a sudden my computer went out as well as all of the lights, outside as well. It was weird. Pitch black. I could barely see anything. So I stumble to the door, running into the plant and something on dustin's side of the room and open the door. A few people were looking out to see what was going on. The only light we had was emergency lights. I walk out and go to the lounge and look across the street and everything is dark up to Main Street. So the Woods and the New Halls were unaffected by this lack of electricity. Jacob comes by with a flashlight and shines it in my eyes. So I'm wishing I had a flashlight but I remember Dustin had two so I went and got them so we could have light. Not everyone had a flashlight, and I lent one to Bryan to look for his although he couldn't find it. So there were about 8 of us huddled in the lounge and this mob of people is outside screaming and cheering and stuff. We were shining our flashlights on them, they on us. Some REALLY random conversations popped up between the eight of us while we were discussing the situation, and parts of these will be on my quotes page on my website.

Eventually we just sit down and start talking about nothing and stuff like that, the people changed back and forth, bonding was happening. So then, the mob all gathers around and we think there is a meeting so we go downstairs and outside just in time to hear Annette say "Everyone go quietly inside your dorms" so we did although not very quietly. But heck, who was? We weren't loud or anything. Anyway, we go back to the second floor and are just getting the convo back when the RA's said to take it to the first floor because people may be sleeping. OK. No one in my wing was asleep, they were either there or gone. basically everyone on our floor was up or gone. So we weren't sure, but we went to the first floor anyway, and we were there for about 20 minutes, discussing the possibility that we may not have class tomorrow, and how everyone was going to skip and stuff, when ten after 2, power comes back on. First words out of Kristin's mouth were "SHIT!!" Because it was too early for the power to come back on. We were thinking like 5 or 6 the power would come back, so we would be able to miss our classes. But we would be able to get sleep so I'm sure most of us went to our early classes today.

Anyways, that's the experience of the year so far.
