Review of January
I am going to review the past month in the last post of each month since the last post of each month is the first message you see.
The Best of January 2004
Also, for this month, look at the calendar to the left. There's a pattern. ooo. Well, almost.

Accepted to Co-op @ Entergy Corp. and other recent stuff
 Today I got an email from Entergy confirming my acceptance to their co-op program. Entergy is a power company for the SE and NE United States. It's $16/hour and a a $1500 stipend to help in relocating. I'll be in their nuclear eng. dept. The plant that I am going to be at in near a southern town, a very southern town: St. Francisville, LA (culture shock!). It's 30 minutes from Baton Rouge so I guess that's cool if I don't like living in the "deep south". I don't know if I should accept b/c it takes place during the fall and UF Nuclear courses that are offered during the fall are only offered during the fall. So if I do the co-op it will push me a year behind in graduation. If I can get their summer internship I would be much happier, but if I get the co-op I would pretty much be guaranteed a job when I graduate from UF, and they pay for grad school.
In other news, I am exhausted. I just got back from doing homework at the nuke building. After class got out at 3 I did homework, then lab at 7:20-10:20, then more homework until 2:30. Friday late afternoon will be such a relief. I can't wait to do absolutely nothing. I am going to skip Thermo tomorrow, there is no way I am going to be getting up before 8. Mmmmm.... Sleep sounds good. But Lupin III is on. Sleep..... Sleep better. *yawn*

Party, Work
Went to a party yesterday at JW's. It was a Saddam look alike party. JW had his Bin Laden beard on with military clothes when we went to get the keg at Albertsons. lol. Everyone there was staring and making jokes like, "Does your ID have a beard too", etc.
Well, I have a lot of work to do today, thermo due tomorrow and lots of stuff due at the end of the week; so I'd better go. And my backpack is missing, damnit! I had a TI-89, a Sony Clié, and all my class notes in there. Why do I keep these things in my bag? If I didn't leave it at JW's I am going to have a very bad week.

Celtic Music
 I was listening to some Celtic music late last night on Highlander Radio, an internet radio station. Celtic Music is awesome! There was this sailing song, with the chorus being "What would you do with a drunken sailor?" And it kept going on and on, faster and faster. Then the funny part came: "What would you do with a British Sailor?" It went on to "shave his ass with rusty razor." Heh heh, that's great AND razor rhymes with sailor. After another chorus came, "What would you do with an English monarch?" They then said, "Stick her head in a" and my fragile little mind did not comprehend what they said next, well they were singing extreamly fast at that moment with lots of Celtic music in the background so it was hard to hear too. But I bet if I did hear it, it'd be awesome.

What Colossal Death Robot Are You?
Which Colossal Death Robot Are You?
 | If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Dmitri Shostakovich! I am a shy, nervous, unassuming, fidgety, and stuttery little person who began composing the same year I started music lessons of any sort. I wrote the first of my fifteen symphonies at age 18, and my second opera, "Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District," when I was only 26. Unfortunately, Stalin hated the opera, and put me on the Enemy Of The People List for life. I nevertheless kept composing the works I wanted to write in private; some of my vocal cycles and 15 string quartets mock the Soviet System in notes. And I somehow was NOT killed in the process! And Harry Potter(c) stole my glasses and broke them! Who would you be? Dead Russian Composer Personality Test |
Enemy of Stalin AND made fun of commies w/o getting killed? This guy's awesome! lol

Surgery, Speeding Ticket
Well, I went to Orlando today for surgery on my foot, It was kinda cool, seeing a laser beam go into it, smelling burning flesh, and seeing smoke rise from my foot while I couldn't feel anything. However, getting to that state of feeling nothing was very painful: needles going into the bottom of my foot. After that, we celebrated my dad's birthday, he's 59. We went to a Mexican restaurant and had cake at out house to celebrate. My sister had class and my mom was working late so they couldn't come.
The traffic on the way down and back up was very nice. The day after a three day weekend is a great day to travel; everyone has already gotten back so they could work today. Who would go on the interstate after a holiday has ended? Usually it's on the last day of a holiday. I was speeding most of the time. Less than 1 mile from Gainesville, on the trip back, a cop got me. The guy was hiding with no lights on near some bushes. 1 mile from Gainesville! I am so pissed. Like, speeding due to medical reasons should be excused... sort of. But I didn't argue; I just took the ticket like a man, lol. But what could of happened within like 3/4 of the exit? I had already driven over 100 miles. Yeah I know, a lot of things could of happened. But if a ball falls into a bucket from a ledge 100 times out of 100 tries, odds are it will fall into the bucket on the 101st try as well. Yeah, that's being somewhat sarcastic, but the cop asked me if my speedometer was working. When are we going to get teleportation? Damn! I really could use that now. Instantly go to Orlando and back, no cops required. Anyways, I am really frustrated right now, and I am going to try to write something on Bush's State of the Union address. Oh, and the cop pulled me over during it, so I missed most of his domestic issues. UF should like take over Gainesville. This town seems to despise students. Stupid laws everywhere, gas is 1.79 / gallon, regular. It should be lowered to something reasonable. Then UF could banish traffic cops. Keep the cool cops, like the ones that are involved in CSI, etc. But banish the traffic cops to someplace evil. Well, Gainesville is evil. So I guess... Banish them to someplace nice but far away. Oh what the hell, banish them to an evil place far away: Maybe hell. Yeah! Hell is a great place for them! yay! I bet most students would support that. :P

Bush: Doing Well
 Guess who has a blog? George Bush! Well, not exactly; someone on his campain website has a blog.
Bush is doing great as a leader. He is doing what is in America's best interests. Exploring far off lands is something humanity has always done. We need to continue to do this. A trip to Mars is great! To the naysayers who think we should fix the Earth before we go to other planets: The Earth will NEVER be fixed. We can drain all of our resources making the Earth a perfect place, but it will never be. Now is the time of action, we have the technology to go to Mars, we should use it. Besides, space exploration has tremendous side effects: new products for commercials use, it boosts many contracting industries as well. Space Exploration and defense require people with intelligence, which means high paying jobs are created when the government wants more from these areas. Space Exploartion boosts the economy! This makes everyone do better. With trinkle down economics, the poor benefit from space exploration.
Nuclear Propulsion is also the best choice for getting to Mars. Conventional rockets will take 3 times longer than nuclear power in getting there. Check out UF's INSPI for info on this. Sending supplies there b4 we arrive is best done with conventional; who cares how long it takes them to get there? But for people, a 1 year journey is much better than 3 years. Oh, and using nuclear reactors in space is not going to pollute space with radiation, there is huge amounts of it up there anyway.
 This map shows electionprojection.com's guess as to what the 2004 Election results would be if they were held today. "Held Today" is important, b/c with no democrat to rally behind, Bush will do better. There will probably be more blue states the more close we get to November. Poll results have also shown that about 30% of Democrats will be voting for Bush, while 3% of Republicans would be voting for the Democratic Candidate. Right Voices has some interesting pictures of Wesley Clark with wanted Bosnian war criminal Ratko Mladic from 1994. Apparently, the Clinton State Deparment wasn't too happy with Clark over this incident. The pictures, of course, don't mean that Wes Clark supported the massacres perpetrated by Mladic, I don't want to give the impression that they do. But they do evince a serious lack of good judgment by Clark, who bills himself as an expert on foreign policy.
Oh, and here is a funny image. That leads me to the War in Iraq. If most of the democratic candidates were President, Saddam would still be in power, the Iraqi people would be suffering, etc. It's great that we removed Saddam. The majority of nations have some sort of despot for a leader, us taking Saddam out can make them nervous, that is one of the reasons why so many small nations were against us. It shows that if we want to take someone out, we can, and we don't need anyone's permission. We a sovern nation. As time progresses I lose more and more respect for the UN. The United States has been the only nation on the moon. The UN declares that no nation can claim land on any heavenly body. Now, it looks like we may get to Mars too. Why can we just declare these lands ours? It's not like anyone else is going there. Well, I heard the Chinese are going to try to. The UN is so petty as well. The UN wanted America to sign a bill to giving them huge sums of money if "any" nation puts out over a certain amount of greenhouse gases. This bill did not even include India and China, both of which would of had to of paid a pollution fee, because they are developing nations. Give me a break! If the idea of the bill is to reduce global warming, then what is the point of having only the nations the UN feels needs to reduce, and not all nations to an equal level? Why should we conform when others won't? The bill would only hurt our nation and every other one that signs. No wonder India and China were perfectly content with not conforming to their resolution. They kicked us off the human rights board for not signing. And then they appoint a nation that is known for many human-rights violations to the human-rights committee. The UN is so full of crap. It's nice that they want to include small nations in their processes, but c'mon, they lack the experience to know what they are doing.
If there is one person who is trying to make the world a better place, it is Geoge W. Bush. The Economy is rebounding, unemployment is lowering, we are greatly reducing terrorism, we are starting to explore the universe once again, and I still have Bright Futures for college. Bush is going to win in '04. The Democrats do not have a chance. And for the '08 Election, Cheney would be an awesome President. Who cares about health? FDR and Teddy Roosevent had much worse health problems, and look how great they turned out to be. Health does not determine greatness. A good President has character, competence, leadership ability, and charisma.

Testing Out w.Bloggar
 I just got a new program for blogging. Now I do not need to go to blogger.com to update my blog, this software will do it for me. The interface is much more annoying than Blogger, but it has many more features and I think this shall make posting much easier. There are many things I do not know about this software, considering I just got it. Oddly, when you upload your template in w.Bloggar, it does not update your template in Blogger, and you cannot republish your entire site. I also made a few changes to the template of my blog. The blogroll has the ping feature and I made an image so you will know which ones have pinged on blogroll. However, I do not know if blogroll picks the pings up off of www.weblog.com, which has the most sites that ping. I also made the Archives a little nicer using FrontPage's CSS. Blogpatrol is also back up; they were down for a long time. If they continue these downtimes, I might just switch to extreametracking.

Futurama and Anchovie Pizza
A while back I saw a Futurama episode that revolved around eating pizza with anchovies. Anchovies had become extint by the 30th Century and Fry had bid millions of dollars just so he could have the last remaining can of anchovies. I was like, maybe anchovie pizza doesn't taste that bad, so I had pizza for the first time this year just now. Anchovies suck! They taste like salted decaying fish! (Well, I guess that's what they are :P) Anyways, I am not going to be ordering anchovies on my pizza anytime soon. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were right about anchovies. Ah, 80's movies, brings back memories. lol.

Bumped into the girl I carpooled with in HS, Physical Ed. vs. Engineering
I am glad that engineers get paid more than most professions; I saw a group of what I think were "PE majors" on the field today. They were separated in groups, and when their TA, or whoever teaches them, came to each group they would yell something like "Who's our bitch? You are!" to another group. Then there was soft applause from the other groups, like the type you would imagine would be in poetry readings and such. Damn it! I'm working my ass off finding deflection angles of neutrons in a building with no windows and they're in a sunny field calling each other names? I want to do that! Thank God everyone does not make equal pay.
I met Allison Kreiger the other day just as I stepped outside of the nuke building. I haven't gotten to talk to her since freshman year. It was great; I thought I'd never see her again if I didn't call. She's being stalked by some UF political party that wants her to run as their VP and she has only a few more pagents left, including Miss Florida. We only got to talk tho for like 10 minutes.

I am bored. Maybe I shall update my blog.
So I'm sitting in the nuke building right now, very bored, waiting for my next class to begin at 1:55, after reading the paper, eating lunch, and bumming around a few websites, I have decided to update my blog with a tarot card thing I found when I was reading Phil's blog. There are now form buttons in my blog: oooo. Anyways, so far everything has been going good. Homework that looked like it was due today was actually assigned today, which I did yesterday, so I don't have to bother with it anymore, yay.
I went to Mod's (sp?) for the first time Sunday with KGB people. They have really good coffee and cake there. Steve got the "loony", it came out in this huge mug that looked like it came from that GEICO commercial. Anyways, much planning was done there, and it was lots of fun. Planning and plotting... Plotting, I say! BWAH HA HA HA! the KGB shall rule all! I was a little late for the meeting because of hanging out with Jason. We played video games at Best Buy and then hung out at his appartment for more video games. I got the South Park movie at Best Buy, 10 bucks for an 81 minute movie, good deal? I don't know. But that was a funny movie. I saw it yesterday. JW came over since I was in my dorm and yesterday he was bored out of his mind in the nuke building. Now I am bored in the nuke building.... Maybe I can walk to the other side of campus just for the heck of it, or maybe I can spend my time doing something usefull like studying, hmmm... I think I'll walk to the other side of campus and back. bye.

What tarot card are you?
 I am The Hierophant (#5 Card)
The Hierophant often represents learning with experts or knowledgeable teachers. This card also stands for institutions and their values. The Hierophant is a symbol of the need to conform to rules or fixed situations. His appearance in a reading can show that you are struggling with a force that is not innovative, free-spirited or individual. Groups can be enriching or stifling, depending on circumstances. Sometimes we need to follow a program or embrace tradition, other times, we need to trust ourselves. | What tarot card are you? Enter your birthdate.

For Harry Potter Fans.....
lol, check out this post:
Harry Potter Sex Toy Sweeps The Nation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The conservative Christian groups who charged Harry Potter with corrupting our nation's youth didn't know the half of it. One parent who reviewed the "Harry Potter Nimbus 2000 Broom" on Amazon.com urged parents to be cautious about the vibrating musical broomstick, after noticing how the battery-powered toy was offering his daughter "a more than sensational experience." Five other Amazon reviewers didn't seem concerned, although they were a little confused about why their children were so enthralled by the $20 plaything. One mom was amazed at how intensely her daughter's friends loved the toy and "surprised at how long they can just sit in her room and play with this magic broomstick!" Another parent said his 12-year-old daughter plays "for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. ... My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too!"
Mike N. found this post here.
A Review of the Broom at Amazon.com:
"I gave this gift to my 10 year old niece Stacy. She LOVES Harry Potter so I knew this would be a perfect gift for her. Stacy and her 15 year old sister fight over it constantly. Make sure you buy enough to go around! I am told you need to replace the batteries almost daily, and can vouch for it since I have seen the pile of batteries after only a week. Pick up some rechargeable batteries, it will really help out."

My Review of Useful Free Programs
The internet is full of a bunch of crap: millions of programs begging you to install them. However, there are some good programs out there. This is a list of programs that are free and have been very useful to me. My Blog now contains useful information! oooo.
Lavasoft Ad-Aware v6- If you download programs off the internet this program is a must have. It scans your computer for ad supported software and then removes the ads. I have never had a program with ads to stop functioning after the ads were removed. Ad-aware can be downloaded from www.download.com.
DivX - This allows you to play more .avi video files. Movies, Family Guy eps, etc. usually require this in order for them to be viewed. You can downloaded the Pro version from DivX.com and remove the ads with Ad-Aware.
InboxCop - I get lots of spam every day in my mail. Outlook filters worked, but not that well. InboxCop is the answer. It identifies spam mail and holds it until you delete it or after a user-specified number of days. This program relieves so much frustration (I swear UF sells out our emails for money, lol) It can be downloaded from www.download.com. The programs occasionally marks good mail as spam, but since it does not delete it, you can still get all your mail. I have had InboxCop for 85 days. It has processed 723 emails for me, and caught 243 as spam. Only about 10 of those were good messages, which I just selected to keep. It didn't delete them or anything. InboxCop was free, but now it costs money. I got the program before they started charging. I am sure you can find the older versions somewhere online.
Google Toolbar v2 - This toolbar not only allows you to easily use Google to search, but comes with a very good pop-up blocker.
WinZip, WinRar, and WinAce - Allows you to open compressed files. Serials can be found online so you don't get the "Register" pop ups, not that I would ever think of doing something illegal like that :P (this blog is on UF server space). They all can be downloaded from www.download.com.
DeadAIM - This program adds many features to AIM, most notably MSN-style pop-ups that tell you when users sign-on/off or become available, and removing the ad at the top. Version 4 costs money, but version 3 (which is almost the same as 4) can be downloaded from www.oldversion.com
InterVideo WinDVD v5 Platinum- This is the best DVD playing software I have seen. It allows you to capture screenshots as the DVD is playing, allows the DVD to play as your desktop background, and improves the sound/video quality. It can be downloaded from intervideo.com. Once you download the program, Keygen programs can make the program think it's registered, but again, I would never dream of using them.
WindowBlinds v4.2 - This program is both good and bad. It is really nice to be able to skin windows into whatever you want, but it can slow down system performance slightly. I like the skins you can download from www.wincustomize.com. It makes Windows look better. I am using one right now. However, I cannot find how to use a keygen to unlock the full version of the program and avoid the annoying pop-up when you start Windows. But of course I would not register it without paying first :P The program can be downloaded from www.windowblinds.com This program is useless in terms of function and seems more to me as something computer nerds use to make themselves look more "nerdyish".
RealOne Player - RealOne is annoying, but I do not know of any other way to watch .rm files. You can get it from www.realone.com.
Apple Quicktime - Although just as annoying as RealOne, this program is necessary in order to play .mov files.
WinAmp - This is the best music playing software I have seen for free. The integrated Internet Radio is great. I can switch from listening to 80's hits to Iranian muisc within a second. I had forgotten how much I liked WinAmp. Version 2 was great. I had downloaded many skins for that version as well. Then when v3 came out and I found I could not use any of my skins I did not upgrade. Then when I switched computers I never bothered getttin WinAmp again. However, version 5 is great! Dave said he was downloading it so I checked it out, now I'm really happy that I got it, I on;y wish I could download mp3's as well :P UF's ICARIS is evil!
If you know of any more, add them in the comments!

Work Out, Classes.
I just got back from running on the UF track. Definitly got my heart pumping, but it was nothing like how much better I ran in high school. I got better grades in high school, I could run faster and longer in high school, something is very wrong here. On the BMHS track team I could run 400 meters (1 lap) in 59.2 seconds. Now, I just don't want to know :P It took until today to start working out because I was sick earlier this week and thought it better that I wait until I felt better, like today. Also, it was like 37 degrees out yesterday, running near zero=bad if all u have for pants is khakis and jeans. Work out in gym is tomorrow.
The first week of classes was good. The first day, Tuesday, I had two classes scheduled for the same period taught by the same professor which were scheduled to be on opposite sides of campus. I realized this after midnight, the morning before the class. I was like, oh..... Everyone ended up just hanging out in the nuke building b4 class until it cleared up. Ended up getting one class pushed back to 1:55 and the first class taught by the dept. chair.
I am taking 15 credits this semester: Reactor Statics, Radiation Interactions II, Thermodynamics, Physics II, and Engineering Economy. Engineering Economy was just added today, it counts towards Sales Engineering, which I may be minoring in, but I may drop the course if I feel overloaded by... um.... tomorrow. But I have to talk to Beth about Eng. Econ. since it is honors and I am not in the honors program. I was wanting it added earlier, but now I am not so sure. Thermo has me the most worried this semester, followed by the nuke classes. Eng. Econ may be too much. Hey, I just think I broke a New Years Resolution.

You're most like the nice guy. If you were in the anime world, that would probably mean you are surrounded by millions of attractive people all longing for your attention and love...but in the real world that generally means you are spending your Saturday nights playing Nintendo. Don't worry though, things'll look up when you get older.
Umm... ok
Finally someone made a Family Guy quiz! yay.

Movie Reviews Page Update
After Reading Dave's Review of the Hulk and seeing he gave it 8.1/10 stars, I had to make a review of the movie myself. Good Review of the Hulk? It was Crap! Crap! If you're going to make a movie that involves science, get it right! ER researches medical stuff for their show. Why couldn't the directors of the Hulk figure out what a gamma ray is? Anyways, here is My Review.

Man Falls Asleep at Church...... (Joke)
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. "Reverend," she said, "I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It's very embarrassing. What should I do?"
"I have an idea," said the minister. "Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg."
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. "And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?" he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
"Jesus!", Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin.
"Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones," said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. "Who is your redeemer?" he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
"God!" Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
"Right again," said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, "And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?"
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, "You stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I'll break it in half and shove it up your ass!"
"Amen," replied the congregation.

New Year, New Blog Layout, Resolutions, New Major? probably not
It is 2004! And so for the sake of all mankind, so that the heavens and earth don't implode into horrible doom and chaos, I have created a new layout for my blog. Yes! Joy and Happiness! Did the two columns bother you b/c of wasted space? Well, they did to me (not really, the need for change kinda did it. e.g: Branille updated her blog so I must update mine :P). That, and so I can more easily modify my blog. I broke up all the html into little parts and added them throughout the template I made in FrontPage. It is much easier to edit now. So in an effort to save the environment, I am making better use of the space given. Behold: The black bar on the left now holds what was the bar on the right's contents! oooooo. Yeah, and I can't get my calendar's font to be anything but black. If anyone wants to view the source code and find it, I swear that I will buy you a small Sprite.
Christmas was good. Presents were fun. New Years was fun. The Outback Bowl was a piece of crap. I dragged some friends that I used to go to BMHS with over to a sports bar to watch UF in their bowl game not expecting UF to lose. Confident that they were going to win, I ordered food. UF lost. The players looked asleep. They had a 2am curfew. The ones that broke it were benched. 2am! You come back before 2am for a 11am game? damnit! It's a bowl game. You sleep, then you beat Iowa. But no.... To add more insult to the injury, Spurrier quit being the head coach of the Redskins. However, he did it for good reasons. He had it with these million dollar players skipping practice. There is little you can do about it, they're still getting paid. In college, the coach can easily "motivate" players to show up to practice and such. Some Redskins even didn't want to take the team bus to away games. ugh. Be humble damnit!
Well, now is time for New Years Resolutions and such. Well, it would be very un-American of me if I didn't pledge to work out more, so on Tuesdays and Thursdays I will lift heavy objects and then put them back down in one of UF's gyms. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I will run around in circles on the best track in the state. Wait, no. I think Disney's track at wide world of sports is better. So UF's track is the second best.
Oh, and I may be switching majors; nuclear engineering is harder than trying to blow up a balloon on your head with your nose w/o dying from your ears popping once it explodes. Yeah.... if you can find better analogies, comment it. Anyways, I may switch to Industrial or Electrical Engineering, Building Construction, or Finance. Oh, and another New Year's resolution is to talk less about school stuff here. It's boring. But ranting on is fun. But I shall talk less of it.
New Year's Resolution List
1. Aforementioned lift weights on Tue. Thurs.
2. Aforementioned run on Mon. Wed. Fri.
3. Aforementioned talk less about school in blog
4. Become smart like in I was high school and get better grades by studying longer (yes, in college I have become a dumbass)
5. Go to Newman Club more often
6. Meet more people which will be satisfied by aforementioned 5
7. Stop saying aforementioned
8. Have more fun
Random Stuff:
Must Have More!
The Towers are the Players
I'm guilty of a few of these
