JACK

I busted both of my nephew's lips. He's two. I guess I get a little competative when playing tag. He looked really hurt with the blood pouring out of his mouth. He looked at me with his big doe eyes and said "Uncle..." and then really teared up and said "ow" and put his head on my shoulder and cried.

TBN

So, we got a new TV, and it only picks up TBN. In an act of desperate bordom, I have been watching it to see if there is anything interesting on. It is truely amazing how often the same arguments get recycled. Then there are the little subliminal messages. Like helping the starving in Africa are bad. Satin is a crappy dresser with bad makeup. And God LOVES reverb. And can't afford color flashbacks. It is really pretty embarrasing to watch. I do wonder who they get to act in these films. :-|

Math...

I have decided that nothing on this earth will ever make me care about mathamatics. It is almost sad because my family on both sides have found sucessful employment through an understanding and implimintation of this understanding in mathamatics. I just don't care. If a worker makes a basket every 2/3 hours, why the fuck should I care how many he is going to make in 7 1/2 hours? I mean seriously, what sort of lazy fuck takes 2/3 of an hour to make a stupid basket? What is he doing, making it by hand? What sort of third world village does he live in? I tell you what, if he were my worker i would kick his ass and threaten to murder his family if he didn't speed up the production process. Unfortunitly my creative managment skills are not allowed, or taken into account, on most standerdized tests. They want me to use the information given rather than create new information. Or alter exsisting information. Now I grant you that some of these problems are good. Like how much interest will $10,000 earn in 9 months at an annual rate of 6%. But personally, I would rather use a calculator then rely on my sketchy figuring. I mean if I were to get this wrong I could really screw up my savings plans. And further more, what the fuck am I paying my accountant for if I can do all of this crap myself? Or my financial manager? Seriously, I don't want these nice folks to go out of business. I mean I fully intend to hire them some day, and I want THEM to be good at math, because I am not. Which brings me to the only semi mathamatical question I am interested in here, and that is, "is it possible to score in the negative on the GRE?"

Facebook

Facebook actually helped me to be productive today. Yup, yup. Logged on, and was able to pull my classes for next semester so that I could put some of them down on my Grad School Apps. Oh, and so far as the apps themselves go, I will pretty much only be able to apply to one school. I'm gonna go ahead and apply to some others, but my applications will be late. Not because I neglected to do them, or send them in, but I lack funds, and I haven't taken the GRE yet. Damn them. But oh well. So I'll just go ahead and go for it. The reason I was writting though, was because I observed that there are a number of young men on Facebook who, lacking any actual signifigance as human beings, put up pictures of themselves with their girlfriends, prominantly featuring their girlfriends. Now the funny thing is, their girlfriends accounts, have no pictures of them. Facebook, voyeurism enters a new age. Or narcissism. So... Okay. Well now we see why I haven't posted in quite some time.
