I miss out so much when I´m gone: seven´s becoming mod, wrestler´s death, wikipedia entry...

Came back from Acapulco. Went to my father´s town to pay respects to my grandmother and grandfather at their graves. Back right now in Ixtapaluca, and-- there´s nothing much to do but wait till I go. I´ve done what I´ve done.

Tonight my cousin and his friend may take me to a strip club but I say it´s ghetto. (And it doesn´t really interest me...)

However, I do find one of their neighbors interesting. Hears Bob Marely all day and smokes weed. I wouldn´t mind passing time like that... (but my cousin is sooooo straight edge.)

okay now... ciao ciao...

you're right on that. I'm sorry, i meant i got a 30! holy shit, i wish i had a 36, a girl in my class got a 36. she also had extremely good SAT (she never did tell me her score, something like 1500 on the old one) didn't have an ounce of common sense in her body. failed her drivers test three times. but got into notre dame.

one girl in my class got a 14 on the ACT...she goes to the same community college as I do. I think she's in the athletics management program (seriously, her life dream is to be a high school sports coach...)

Hey, a 30 is still good. According to this source (Princeton Review), a 30 on the ACT is about equal to a 1980 on the new (of 2400) SAT (or 1320-1350 on the old one), a very respectable score.

The highest I could ever get on my ACT overall (composite) was a 26. Damn math score pulling everything down. :-(

I failed Math B junior year and retook the second half of it in senior year and barely skimmed by. I never much cared for homework :)

yeah, my New SAT score was 1770. My GPA was so low, even pretty good standardized test scores had me getting rejected from colleges like SUNY Geneseo. I did, however get into Western State College of Colorado, SUNY Potsdam, SUNY Plattsburgh and the college I'm in now.

the community college track was more of a financial choice than a rejected from everywhere else choice (oh. and my fiancee was in the massage program)

I wish the faculty union would hurry up and either negotiate a contract or strike. The contract expired Saturday, and while I am happy they at least are negotiating, I'm tired of the anticipation.

If they do strike, I still have a job, but classes may be cancelled and my tuition money returned. I don't care about the money; I'm worried about my credits.

I know that feeling. When I took a practice PSAT (not the real PSAT, so it's a PPSAT), I got a 750 verbal but a 520 or something on the math.

But test scores don't tell you about your intelligence or who you are! Neither does college admissions.

she did a 9 month (800 hour) program at a hippie school in California, moved back here, met me, enrolled at the college's program because you need 1000 hours to work in this state.

so, yeah, she's just waiting to take the state test in august, because god forbid they actually offer it after the semester in like june or a reasonable time like that.

I'm considering getting my guides license now. a couple from california are doing guiding for the outfitter here and they didn't need to know too much about the area, just common sense and basic map reading skills. I've led trips before, but being a guide would be pretty fun. It's exactly what I would like to do. and I guess the guides we have make some nice tips and are paid like $100 a day or something like that.

I've had a few moments like that in our house that could have easily warranted an "Oh snap!" but usually I'm to busy being cussed at for being right about the issue to say anything. ;-D

I argue with my father over his clearly Libertarian views but his refusal to join the party and constantly voting down the Republican line even though he doesn't even agree with the politicians. Yes, I know, third party with no chance and most people get fixated on the two party system we've got. But he keeps telling me to do what I think is best and vote for the people I feel should be in office, yet he doesn't do the same.

BTW, I'm now paid up member of the National Libertarian Comitte. I haggled the lady on the phone down to a one time only $25 membership fee...she started at like $200 and i'm like, "yeah...college student" and she goes "well, we have a basic membership of $50 (insert inate political slogan...seriously, every other sentence out of the woman was a slogan of some sort, like "for the change needed locally, regionally and nationally..." it was funny because I'd laugh at it and then she would) and then I'm like 'college. student." and she said $25 and I said sure.

Yeah, but Colleges don't care two shits about who you are.

Transformers Sucked.

Plain and simple.

Storyline was dull and boring( so was the TV Show, commercials and the shows).

I wouldn't reccomend it at all.

As weird as this sounds, I'm actually looking forward to the movie version of the musical Hairspray. It can bomb for all I care, but I still think it'll be worth my money to see John Travolta in drag as Edna Turnblad.

Plus, it's got Christopher Walken in it. You know that fucker is going to get his grove on, Fatboy Slim redux.

The thing is that the musical was based on a movie. That's the kind of absurdity I think John Waters could really get behind.

Not only is it a remake of the movie the play was based on, it's a remake... of a John Waters movie.

Coincedance? I THINK NOT. ;-D

So far I have only spotted one flaw in this marathon of mythbusters. They tested the Tesla earthquake machine and of course it didn't work. Now I'm not saying I beleive that the machine does work but I do beleive there's no way in fuck their handlers would let them tell us if it did. Really, why even do the myth if they're just going to spread missinformation?

Hey guys, you remember be talking about a week or so ago about how my dad neutered a tom cat we had that was running around trying to kill our other cats?

Well, he's just as calm and easygoing as you please now. My Mom took this picture this morning whilst he was rolling around on the backporch wanting someone to pet on him... goffy cat.
