Shows

I've decide I'm not going to any more shows this spring/summer. I'll save my money and wait and see if Lolla has a good line up. Only a few artist would be a exception. Here is one.

Xbox Live Conversations

So, while I was playing halo 2 at 2a.m. tonight. I ended up getting in a party of people who are major conspiracy theorists. This led to some interesting talks. I'll only be able to summarize what was said since most of it I never heard before and forgot. The conversation was between three people and I mostly just listened since I can't really make much noise late at night.


First they debated about who the next president was going to be. The 32 year old guy from Cincinnati believed that Arnold Schwarzenegger would become the next president. He claimed that he started getting ready for running the year before he ran for governor. That the constitution will soon be changed so that he can run. The guy also stated that Arnold boldly stated that the U.S. need a single strong leader and he wants to be that guy. The guy also said that Arnold's dad was in the SS and also what other famous leader came from Austria. The guy also said that Bushes family can be linked with Hitler. All three of them agreed that 9/11 was staged. Since BBC broadcasted the attacks a half hour before they occurred. Similar to Pearl Harbor attack being published a week before the attack by a famous newspaper. Also he said that a local news group did a study of many camera we get seen by in a ordinary day. The news group followed a normal women in Cincinnati for one normal and found that she came across 120 different cameras. He also thinks that the government wants the country to stay divided fighting between races.

The other white guy 25 years old who recently moved to Nebraska from Brooklyn. He believed that Obama was going to be the next president. He doesn't think Hilliary is going to be the next president since women got to vote for first time 50 years after black men were able vote. So he thinks a black man will be elected before a women is. He also believes that Jews control and set up everything. He also thinks that the FDA controls all drug traffic and Al Quada was originally set up for growing and selling heroin by the U.S. government.


The last guy was 28 year old black man. He said that Obama would never get elected and the world will end when a black man gets elected. He believes that Hilliary will get elected. He also talked about how the Masons know and control everything. That there are houses and other beings on the other side of Moon and they see how we are destroying the planet.

Other random stuff that was mentioned was how the E in E=MC2 doesn't actually exist. They talked about how prophets mentioned the lost city of Atlantis. How people from Atlantis were originally aliens. They also talked about minorities birthrates and how in any culture the dumb tend to have more kids and that will eventually lead to the destruction of the human race. The end of the world will be from a black hole. Since black holes are all over the universe.

Most this stuff I don't believe, but it is sometimes interesting to hear theories that are outside the box.

The Week Is Over!!!!

Thank God, honestly one of the worst and most costly weeks ever in my life.

This weekend was almost good. I was able to hang out with my two best friends Lenny and Fred on Friday. Also hanged out with the rest of the Geneva crew, which mostly consisted of playing Gears of War and some D&D. Yes, very nerdy, but very fun. Its nice to hang out with friends, since the end of winter break was the last time I hanged out with anybody.

Since my dad has one the luckiest and best days to have a birthday. My St Patricks day consisted of being his DD when he went out to the bars. It was alright, we had some decent conversations, mostly about how he wants me to stay at home for college and me wanting to get away as soon as possible.

Only one week until spring break! After spring break, I need to get my shit together and get my grades up to what they need to be if I have any chance of getting into UI. I'm in good position in most my classes, I just need to find a way to get rid my procrastination.

Also I'm considering getting back into soccer shape after I get back from Germany. Then try to make it onto the ECC soccer team. The chances are low that I will be able force myself back into shape, but you never know.

Lastly, less than a month until we move into the new house! I'm actually starting to get excited about that.

This week needs to end.

The week begins with me waking up to a huge dent in front of my car. Left by probably my neighbors across the street, since I park on the street and the angle of dent matches perfectly with their drive way.

Then I get lost trying to find a show in Palatine and end up in Algonquin. When I get their I find out its sold out and 21+. Luckily my friends Surround Sound where opening for The Smoking Popes and got me in. The show was good, but then on the way back I have to get a traffic ticket. Now I have to take traffic school in order to not lose my license. So I'm down over hundred dollars plus how ever much it cost to repair the dent.

Then school this week has been a total disaster. I've taken to tests that I'm pretty sure I bombed. Which will probably eliminate the possibility of get a A in those two classes. Then there's Computer Science which has gone in "How the Hell Does This Work" mode. I really need a new computer to have a chance at passing the class. If I don't get a computer by spring break I'm pretty sure I'm doomed. I would have a computer by now if my dad wasn't such a dumb ass and not let me buy a computer with my college money. Does he not get the point that for majoring in computer science you need a decent computer and it would be contributing for my college future!

Now for the worst part of this week, missing the Of Montreal concert. I've been looking forward to this show for months, only to find out that I can't make it to the show. I miscalculated the days and I also had to have a math test today. The miscalculation of the days goes back to my computer problem, since its currently April 08, 2000 on my computer.

The Dive

So, I yesterday was watching the dive on fuse. I barely ever remember catch the dive when its on, since it only plays for half hour at 11:30 on weekends. Its sad that crap music gets played all the time, but they only have time for a half hour of indie music. Anyway there was one video that I thought was amazing and the music is ok also.

Wishes of Snow

Its funny that earlier this winter I was complaining about the lack of snow. Lets just say I'm eating my words right now. Since I quit snowboarding early this year. All this snow serves me no purpose, except make it a pain to drive. I really wish it would of snowed more like this when I was younger. When I had friends to make snow forts and have snowball fights. Now I'm just older and alone and snow is mostly just a annoyance.
