With the paracitic jokes of someone awkwardly screaming at us what a good authority figure he'd be. Every day here I feel more like Dr. Cox.

Sorry, today has been a LOOOOONG day, and my sleep problems as of late have not been helping matters. Today was the Portland's Strawberry Festival, celebrating Portland's status as the Strawberry capital of Tennessee, and guess who had to park his car a quarter of a mile away and wade through all the vendors just to get to work today? LUCKY ME.
I think it's all bullshit because I've only seen one farm around here recently that had strawberries, and even then I think it was privately owned/non comercial. You can go into any one of the local grocery stores today to buy them fresh, and the package will read "FRESH CALIFORNIA STRAWBERRIES!!" Like, wtf?!

Yeah-- I was like, "Tennessee?"
I know for a fact that Gilroy is called the Garlic Capital.
San Jose is Silicon Valley (formerly "Valley of the Heart's Delight")
San Francisco as the gayest of the gay--
But strawberries in Tennessee?
I thought Salinas or San Joaquin Valley would be one of the two. I mean, god knows that they're hot enough for the strawberries to blush.
My mom absolutely hates strawberries. I can't blame her. If I picked them hours on end while preganant, I would think anything the shade of strawberry red would make me wanna puke.

I love scrubs so very much, each week, when the new episode records on the DVR, i watch it first and then watch it again with my fiance, i cant help myself, and the jokes are still just as funny the second time around.
i think she's catching on because there are times when i laugh just thinking about the joke which is about to happen...

It's a picture of my uncle, circa Feburary 1979. Two years before I was born.
I had to scan and fix it. (Oh, that horrible red hue that seems to inflict pictures of that time!)
It's funny how my cousin "Josey" looks like my uncle. His high school picture is the same exact pose.
And the little girl on the right. My aunt, my godmother. My small cousin "Becky" has a family picture like this and, my god, they look like twins.
It could be the trick of the eye.
My cousin "Andre" is not related to me by blood at all. Yet, I have pictures when I'm 6 and he looks like he could be my son or brother. Same light skin. Same Mexican 'fro hair. He looks like his mother, but it's like he has certain features and mannerisms that are distinctively me. Stuff that isn't through blood. Like, for example. He has a slight overbite, and like me, he's sticks out his bottom jaw every so slightly to even out the face. I never knew that till today when he told me that he did that.
And then there's his eyebrows... they're like mine (and my mothers) in that they're "diamonds" (the shape) and it's light. From the inside it's darker and then it progresively fades. And his lips like mine. My family have large mouths, but then there's the shapely mouths in the family. (We have certain family traits that runs...the "cute mouths," "hollywood lashes," "widows peak," and the "caucasian button nose versus large ethnic nose") I'm one of the few who have heart shape lips, and the people who owns this labial shape is my mother, myself... and my cousin.
family is joking how I'm the father and my cousin's brother is the cuckold. Except that... it wouldn't happen.
It's just so weird.

How come none of you bastards immediately jumped to the conclusion mine and my wife's parents did and imagined I was the one civilian in the 20,000 residents of this Godforsaken little town to be sniped last night.
In related news, today is my birthday, I demand well wishes and cake right now!

I just finished up a developmental psychology class, when we got to the part on adolescents the instructor explained that teenagers are argumentative and stupid because they are trying to get a handle on the newly formed cognitive capacity for abstract thought. She said that's why all teenagers go through a phase where they will argue pretty much any position and try their best to warrant a back hand to the face.
When I heard this I immediately jumped from my seat and shouted, "That explains the politics forum!" It was an online class and I was sitting on my couch watching the flash lecture via my Wii but had I been in a classroom I assure the effect would have been the same.
I just checked my email, Tom and Wade didn't send me my birthday lovin' =(

I don't even click on thread here in the Politics forum, and I've just been to General, and closed it disappointed. I have become indifferent to NG, and that sucks.

I agree it'll be first post, nobody here is mature enough to really debate belief...or anything much really. It seems to be the same four topics over and over with the same people fighting and derailing them all. I come for the Lounge and say fuck it to the rest.

Dude, NO, erm . . . RELIGION (yeah, that's it!) IN THE LOUNGE!
=D
Question: I bought two t-shirts on Ebay and they were both shipped on Tuesday. One was from Minnesota, the other from Arizona. How is it that the one from Arizona got here and the other one didn't? Oh, I live in Michigan.
Oh and Fli, your, uncle was it?, really does look like John Stamos. It's a bit creepy . . . . Maybe I'll start a rumour . . . .

I'd hate to bait anybody into an argument on sacred grounds (namely, in the lounge), but they could counter with something about "evil" being subjective.
As for whether anybody on this forum is mature enough to carry on a well informed debate about religion: there are a couple users who are capable, and have done so in the past, but it would be ruined by certain trolls all too swiftly. Also, the majority of posters here aren't regulars, just misinformed kids straight out of the General forum, looking to show off how "smart" they are.

And we already have a religion topic. We also have a gun control and Iraq topic. The only opening is in drugs. So realize that drug leaglization wouldn't affect society if society was completly made of sheltered underacheivers or you're a facist.

Wow. I'm nervous about an exam that's coming up in the morning.
Anyways, the Earthquake wasn't bad. 3.4. It was 5 miles east of Alum Rock-- pretty close to where I live.
Camera is okay.
Happy Birthday BeFell, but this year I won't be jumping out of the cake. And Lord knows how terriblely loose Mormons will get when they get a little cake and soda in them.
Folks, I've changed my name to "Cake." Surname... "Soda."
Okay,
I've done making BeFell uncomfortable. While everyone is graduating and having fun, I'm gonna read Holocaust literature and get depressed for the millionth time during this semester.

Did a little investigating into Forum history...
As much as it would've been relevant to post this on page 2001, I didn't get there fast enough.
So here's what I've just been reading through:
circa 2001. What I find most interesting is Wade's impassioned rants against Democrats while people are dying in the towers.
