Now I'm thinking of getting the SanDisk sansa, 2gb.

I guess I prefer metal to plastic - this one also has good reviews.

Turns out the best deal for that price is the Creative Zen.

Some players have 4gb for about 100 but those seem like shady brands

Yeah I'm really not leaning toward the ipods. Everybody's got them and my last ipod experience wasn't that great.

The only drawback with the Creative is it is really tiny. And I fear making it all hard-drivey when it is actually a flash player may be stretching it price wise. But creative isn't a poor quality.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows any better deals for that price.

So I got 150 dollars this year among other things. Since I dont really celebrate Christmas traiditonally, we ended up giving out gifts tonight. This is good because now I can sleep.

Anyway, I want to buy an mp3 player with this money.

SO WHAT IS THE BEST DEAL?

(a) Creative Zen 2GB for 139.99.
(b) Ipod Nano (not my first choice, because it is 149.99)

As you can see I don't have too many choices. I'd like to hear your suggestions about audio players for 150 dollars. Quality comes before quantity. But I'm not spending that much on an mp3 player that only plays 128mb.

In the fourth grade I actually walked away from an argument with a girl, saying "I don't like black people." She was black. This was during recess.

I was sent to the office shortly after recess with no idea why I would be in trouble or what I had done. When I got there, it turned into an interrogation. The principal told me how they keep people like me on a list in the school and how everyone will know what a bigot I am.

So it freaked me out. And I also made some insulting comments to a teacher about her inability to speak english, it just came up in conversation, I didn't mean to insult her.

And there we go.

Julian madagan started out with just a tiny bit of hash, and then he got addicted and tried al sorts of crazy drugs, ang got in fights, and beat up.

Now let me help you here.

Julian Madigan, is a reformed ecstasy junkie. It wasn't mushrooms that he took, it was MDMA (ecstasy) and speed, and he took it all in connection with the rave scene in the 90's. Minimal research can sift through so much bullshit like the one that GenderBender over here is trying to feed you. It's so much clearer with proof, isn't it?

"When you take drugs at first you'll smile and laugh and have fun, but things change," he said.

This guy is preaching to kids so they don't turn into him. That's great. But so many things are leaning on nothing here. For example, his journey through drugs was probably a natural inclination to addiction. Marijuana is not addictive, and it is not a 'gateway' drug -- this has been disproved endlessly. The fact that this guy had control issues and probably took too much because he was an idiot, shouldn't affect a potentially SMART person to do whatever the hell they choose.

Psilocybin mushrooms are not addicting and to most they are not a habitual drug. They are an experience.

And I agree that 3.5 is a little high. Depending on your tolerance, if you want to play it safe go with 1.5-2grams.

You mean for sleep?

I came up with fatzo a couple years ago but now its taken.

or last i checked anyway. YOU can check.

I disagree with your philosophy.

Anything you may 'learn' by lurking these forums is completely irrelevant to anything. Sitting there reading internet lingo and memorizing user's lives in order to not sound like a jackass when you start posting is just stupid.

It's the same excuse some would use in explaining why they constantly post. Some want to lurk so when they make a post they fit in, others spend hours posting in topics they don't care about to reach a magical number. I post constantly sometimes, but I don't do it to boost my post count, I do it 'cause I'm bored. Which makes me cool :D

Anyway, just post because you have something you want to add to the conversation. What does it matter if it seems like a bad idea. I do admit though I lurk quite a bit. But not because I'm researching what is HIP to say, but because sometimes I don't want to be involved in the moronic discussion that goes on here half the time.

jogging (always a good form of excercise), and some push ups.

Jogging is actually not the best recommendation to make. Jogging is great for cardiovascular improvement but if you are running on pavement your kneecaps and legs are going to get destroyed by constant pounding on the hard ground.

If you want to get bulkier, that's when you do PUSH UPS and other forms of strength training as well as an increased intake of protein.

But if you want to lose weight you need to do a lot of movement. If you have access to a pool, swimming is practically the best form of exercise. It strengthens the lungs, the joints, and spreads the tension around your entire body, not just a concentrated area like push ups do.

Jog on grass, and when it comes to running you have to constantly push your limits. HOWEVER, if you've never ran before, and some people never really have, do light jogs for a week. Your legs will feel like shit if they're not used to it and you will practically be dying from shin splints, but that will pass.

If you're serious about running, then the pain is worth it. If you do these mild runs (5 minutes non stop running, 30 second break, 5 minutes running, 30 second break, 7 minutes running, 20 second break, etc.), after a week or two you'll need to start increasing the run time and not stopping when you feel you can't take it.

Food wise, stick to stuff that doesn't come in a plastic container. WHEN GROCERY SHOPPING (oh my god yes you have to buy food yourself one day), stick to the outside areas of the supermarket. This will limit you to produce, meats, bread and stuff, and dairy. What! THE ESSENTIAL FOOD GROUPS, IT'S ALL COMING TOGETHER.

Whoever said to eat less, that's bullshit. We, as human beings, should actually be eating about 6 times a day, instead of the usual 3. North America is in a rush. That's why in Europe they get extended lunches.. I guess.

The key here is to eat more, and exercise more. That way you get more energy by eating healthy food that you later burn up by doing healthy exercises! And that's when you get those happy endorphines. WOW!

And water. Water cleans out your system. So drink lots of it.

And NEVER avoid eating and only sticking to exercise. Food's purpose is not to make you fat, it is there to give you energy and nutrients you need to survive. People have lived off water for a while and only that, but they ended up nearly dying. So be smart.

It was stupid of you to ask for advice on a FORUM, though. Think about why that is.

Hope this helped.

I almost hated you for a second, after I realized this post was chocked full of British lingo and after reading West Philadelphia again you were going to start the jingle at any moment. But then brilliance prevailed.

And when in the fuck did you get 25,000 posts? That was sneaky.

Congratulations.

To be fair, England has raped more countries than the US thus far.

And in some cases continents.

So I'll break it down for you - Dylan rides in on his sweet black car and while parking meets this HAWT new girl on a bike - Emily Valentine. SO being Dylan McKay, he decides to ask her out RIGHT THERE!

And then Emily meets Brandon and suddenly THEY get a date happening. All the while Brenda is mortified after she finds out Emily is going out with Dylan. I mean, she and Dylan weren't going out anymore but it was just happening too fast for her, y'know? And then of course when she and the girls (kelly and that other girl) finds out Brandon is going out with this Valentine girl too, word gets around that she's a slut!

So in the end Brenda confronts Emily, and finds out that Emily is a virgin! So Dylan WASNT going out with Emily just to sleep with her, like Brenda thought cause she broke up with Dylan because she wouldn't sleep with him. So everone is friends again and everything goes back to normal.

Whew.

This is true. Libraries.

Although some libraries have blockage, a university library won't. I think I've only gone to some libraries where there computers were actually connected to the net. Most of them had a different way of working than a traditional PC.

Don't be a fucking idiot. I tried drawing a portrait while I was drunk and it turned to shit.

Shrooms and weed though, and you begin creating masterpieces. I've begun to loathe alcohol and am turning to these alternatives as a result. Alcohol fucks up your motor skills, and the best you can be drunk is a burned out honkey sitting on a couch or something. Psychedelic drugs do not hinder ones creative drive.

In fact somewhere on the net there is a found quote from him explicitly wishing misfortune upon anyone who sells his things.

You can get a vial or small bag of it almost anywhere if you look hard enough. I found it at a convenience store once. It varies, but for a vial they charge about 20 dollars I believe.

It is kind of not a good experience though. That's why it is legal. Nobody would be dumb enough to make a habit of using it.

This guy was an unknown recluse who worked as a diswasher and hospital janitor. Nobody knew him in life. He was invisible.When he died at 81, his landlord found in his tiny little room 30,000 pages of self-bound books telling this crazy fantasy story, along with hundreds of watercolour paintings that connect to the content.

I still play that shit to get those neopoints. Not to mention how addictive that Kou-Jong game is. Oh and also Faery Bubbles or whatever. Meerca Chase is also Sweet.

I neglect my pets, though. Because if I spend money on giving them food for no reason, I'll end up broke. I'm up to 45,000 points in the last month or so.

Hey Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press in Germany some time in the 15th century, genius. And I'm not a hundred percent on this, but most of your 'american' inventions were probably thought up by someone else too. It shows how stupid and egotistical you are to not even look up the origin of one of the most important inventions to modern civilization (printing press). Stupid American.

They pin that onto every year.

I stopped believing this crap after y2k.

Holy crap, some of you are lazy.

I consider 7 hours of sleep nowadays a freaking godsend.

I'm one of the few at my school who actually tries getting sleep, and not stay up until 6 or 7am finishing the next day's project. Usually in a week I will have to do a project a day one after another, and some of my classes begin at 8:30, which means I have to leave the house at 7am, meaning I have to get up around 6:45. And if you go to sleep at 3am to wake up 3 hours later, it completely fucks up your system.

But wow.

I left posting for a few days, and then I come back to see topics like "OH MY GOD I MISSED 1337 POST NOW I'M LESS COOL (?)" and "I TALKED TO PLATINUM ON THE PHONE NOW I'M COOL (?) NO WAY DUDE I'M COOLER I TALK TO LIKE 34 NG GUYS ON THE PHONE LOL!"

So my point is, take a posting break for a while. It does wonders.

Shortly before I prepared this evening's usual tea with two sugars and a few dabs of milk (I was not pleased at the lack of cream in my refrigerator), I had witnessed on YouTube a very disturbing thing.

If many of you have not yet heard, Michael Richards (the bloke who played Kramer on Seinfeld) made a fool of himself several days ago at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood. According to several accounts, the comedian was heckled and interrupted during his routine and several minutes into the act began swearing and berrating the two black audience members with racial name calling and profuse swearing. He then proceeded to linger on stage for a short while arguing with the patrons, who had remarked on his recent lack of professional success, before leaving the stage.

I, for one, am shocked. He followed this outburst with a public apology on The Letterman Show, which is almost as fascinating to watch as the outburst itself. You can view both of these without too much searching on YouTube, though one of the Letterman clips have been removed due to copyright issues. So watch it while you can!
