Nicotine has a calming effect on your body that would be the positiveof the drug. Marijuana is worst on your lungs than cigarrettes (measured to be 5 times worst tar). Cigs are legal because the industry is so powerful. Wylie like you said you shold be responsible if you drink, but most people that drink arent, so that kills that point. Weed is retarted because even if you were responsible it would make you irresponsible, so thus youd still be stupid to do it. And sorry if im offending anyone on this board that does weed by calling em stupid, but you are.

Hey guys its Q, So what do you guys think about marijuana? Have any of you ever tried it? If you havent do you want to?

Me I can see why people are curious, but at the same time I dont see why anyone would like to distort their mind and lose control of some of their functions.

What are your views?

england, france, italy, or spain
and maybe, just maybe, china/hongkong

Tuesday, March 23, 2004

I definitely want to go abroad. Probably a Spanish-speaking country, or Japan or England. Maybe Italy or France, and I hear Germany is a really nice place to study. So basically, Latin America or Europe or Japan. *shrug* We'll see. (Not sure how my computer science coursework is going to allow that, but, uh... I'll cross that bridge when I get there, eh?)

More email humor:

A store that sells husbands has just opened. The store is comprised of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch: you may choose a man from any floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go back down except to exit the building.

So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.

On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.

The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. She says, "Hmmm,
better. But I wonder what's upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes.

The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please.

Thank you for shopping Husband Mart and have a nice day.

A forward from my roomie (this is supposdly real -- there was a Worst Day at Work contest):

Having a bad day at work? I bet you this persons was worse...

Hi Sue,

Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wetsuit.

This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints.

What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.

Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.

The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit.

Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my butt.

I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say I aborted the dive.

I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet.

As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for two days because my butt was swollen shut.

So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.

Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job, I love my job."

I love my job, I love my job, I love my job. ; P

OMG! I am watching MTV making the band 2 3rd season. THey show the Bands first appearance at Morehouse there first concert. I was there. The thing is, that they tried to show everybody cheering and said that it was great. In actuallity they got booed off the stage after 5 minutes. If you watch the episode you see 10 people in the fron cheering and then you just see people standing around talking and laughing. Come on Puffy! They got booed off the stage put the truth on television. PSHHH

DUNK THE MEASLES basketball tournament
play basketball. help the measles initiative in Africa. win 300 dollars. TALK TO ME ABOUT REGISTRATION. you must be a UT student.
come ooooon, you know you want to.


dancing!


..

justin @ 2:57 PM [link]    

Saturday night, you say you want dancing? There's free swing lessons/dancing starting at 9:00 p.m. but the location has yet to be determined (it is going to be on campus). I'll probably Rose a call if you all want in.

Unless, of course, you're all thinking about a different sort of dancing, in which case, I hope you guys have a fun time doing that too.

Kristan @ 11:32 AM [link]    

Wow, great pictures. Great in the sense that they're so illustrative, not great in the sense that they're sleeping in holes in the dirt. Makes me want to shut the hell up about how my pillow's too fluffy and hurts my neck.

So guess who's home, kids? That's right, Kristan is!! : D

I'm going to visit Bellaire this afternoon with Mary, and then head up to UT on the 6th and stay for a night. If y'all are in-town here or in Austin and you wanna get together, let me know so I can make plans. So far Saturday night is the most "un-planned," though tentatively I thought we might go dancing -- I think Angie and Rose are in, anyone else? Everyone's welcome, I miss y'all a lot, and let people who you think will care know about it, even if they're not on CNet.

Wheeeee, fun, to be freeeee! (Of work, that is.)

Complained about your bed lately?

quentin @ 12:50 PM [link]    

justin @ 4:30 AM [link]    

Didn't we cover this topic already once?? I think a couple months ago? (I really don't know how long)

girl: the needs.

Will love God more than she loves me

Expects me to love God more than her

girl: the icing.

It would be awfully nice if she knew how to swing dance.
" " " " " if we could have fun spending time in the kitchen together.
" " " " " if we could have fun being musical together.

Wow...this list is hard. I think I'll leave it at that for now, but this list is far from complete. Those are just a few personal specifics, not the "typical" pretty/caring/tall...I don't think I even know what typical is anymore.

Real quick response to Rose though. (I assume you're referring to Christian evangelicals) The reason they share their faith with you is out of love. Granted, I don't think forceful Bible-thumping is ideal, but think of it this way: At least Christians don't want you to go to wherever they believe you go to, and so they do what they can to prevent that.

Expressed in a tactful manner, of course.

quentin @ 12:37 AM [link]    

Well i think i will spread a lil about wat i look for in othas

I like independent chicas, I like girls that are confident, girls that can keep a secret, smart...not book smart but has intelligence and can put two and two together you know common sense, i like athletic girls that like sports or atleast play them. I like girls that like competition and take it serious =), I like gilrs that are arent too concerned about the opinions of others. I like girls with a sense of humor that are funny and can take a joke and make one. I like girls that look good, I like girls with nice bods =). I like girls that can express themselves. I like liberals. I like family girls. Girls that practice their religion, if they dont have one then they already have it made =) I like girls that dance and like music woot woot! And... I cant really think of anything else right now.

Tuesday, March 02, 2004

As a mix, I bubble both. I hate "check one" or "choose one" and I never follow those directions. Why should I? That's not who/what I am.

I agree that race is a social construction, and as such, I'm against it -- however, how do we preserve history and culture? I'm proud of where my families come from, I wouldn't want to lose that.

On to Rose's infinitely more fun and certainly more light-hearted topic:

I want a boy who opens doors, pulls out chairs, notices the little things, thinks I'm a dork, but is okay with that 'cause he's a dork too, is comfortable with himself (i.e. doesn't put on fronts), who will never make me afraid of him at any time for any reason, can cook, will sing, isn't too lazy, likes to have fun, smiles, makes me smile, and makes me happy. Being goofy and geeky wouldn't hurt either. (Yeah smart guys! *points* Like y'all!)

But I'll take a guy who treats me right, loves me -- note: those feelings must be returned -- and is a good person in general. It's pretty simple that way.

quentin @ 1:57 PM [link]    

haha i like roses description

I dont need to respond to that thing.

But I will respond to Adam, you are right they should get rid of the american categories, as well as all racial categories. The whole idea of Race is indeed racist. There was no other reason for the invention of the word.

rose @ 11:13 AM [link]    

so. politics and religion aside for one second, because i feel tension here, i'm going to cross post this

and then ask you what YOU want in your man. or woman.

"It's also extremely pleasing when the next place ends up being exactly the kind of place I'd go to if I planned it, yet I didn't have to plan it at all." -redhead explains her taste in men

spontaneity is good sometimes.
i like smart boys who make me laugh. i like boys who subtly try to impress me, even when sometimes they claim they aren't really trying. and boys who make me feel like i want to impress them. i like boys who appreciate my sensitivity, and know when it's okay to make fun of me and when it's not. boys who aren't afraid to talk in person ("what? there's something other than Instant Messenger?? really? there's such thing as more direct communication?"), boys who aren't so concerned with their reputation that they can't show some type of affection, boys who aren't obsessed with the terribly skinny image of women.

yeah. and maybe right now i'd like a guy who could teach me .php and give me some pointers on style sheets and javascript. a guy who knows visual basic wouldn't hurt either :D


end cross post



i am grateful that my religious friends have never tried to force their beliefs on me. i admire and respect all religion-- and the only time you'll hear me refer to it in disgust is when a person tries to tell me that i am going to hell for not believing in exactly what he believes in.

Monday, March 01, 2004

maybe i should not have stated the statements right then and there
but there are things in my head
and the world has been pressuring them again
because they weren't suppose to be linked to nudity
but i believe what i believe, and you do too
that's what makes us interesting

okay, an american is one born here
but what about language? culture?
do we have one, or are we everything
does what we come from make us more or less american

Angie @ 11:56 AM [link]    

possibly related to religion

what constitutes an american
what is our culture

does it encompasses all individual religions, ethnicities, beliefs
or should we all be speaking english
and call ourselves american, not caucasian, not african american, asian american, etc.

Angie @ 11:54 AM [link]    

no actually adam, you are picking a fight
that's the problem with any high tension topics
no one reads anything right
how else does discrimination exist

i do believe that a lot of the religious texts and foundations come from men
we interpret relgion, oral laws as time progresses
for example: everyone reading my two statements, and look how they were intepretated

never in my two statements did i say religion is wrong or what people believe in is wrong
i never said it's bad
in fact i believe in God, granted i'm not a very practicing christian

and i'm sorry if it was offensive, but it is what i believe
i will not call you wrong or dumb or mean for yours

Kristan @ 1:44 AM [link]    

I think all Angie meant, in another of her semi-random thoughts, is that a lot of the religious texts and foundations come from men -- they didn't magically appear on a stone and then men found them, they were written and/or created, y'know? And other than the people who wrote/made these things, religions gained followers because people wanted to believe (and had no reason not to) -- it's comforting to think you're not alone in this big, scary world -- not because they saw firsthand or spoke with higher powers themselves.

Regardless, even if she meant in the most offensive way -- which we know she didn't 'cause it's Angie and she isn't like that, she's Christian for crying out loud -- that religion is dumb and bogus and whatnot, that would be an opinion we would have to accept as well.

(I found it kinda funny that our posts kind of read out of order since we're in different timezones. : P)

quentin @ 12:31 AM [link]    

Angie be careful of your words next time. That is all...
