Hello!

Well, I know a promised a barrage of updates once my college semester ended, but I guess it just isn't in the cards this time of year. After Christmas, I will hopefully update more often. I guess you'll just have to wait and see.

Anyways, here is a mini update. I did well in all my classes this semester. I got an A in Political Science, an A in Philosophy, and an A in Bowling (like that was hard). Good for me, I guess, I really don't like to talk much about my accomplishments, so moving on.

I spent the last two days over my grandma's house. I haven't seen her in a while, so it was nice to spend some time with her. We went Christmas shopping and it wasn't too bad, even though I hate shopping. I did all of my Christmas shopping on the Internet this year and I don't understand why more people don't do the Internet shopping thing. For one, there aren't any lines on the Internet. For two, it is usually cheaper to shop on the Internet (in my experience). For three, you don't have to pay taxes on the Internet (at least in Michigan). I could go on and on about the benefits of Internet shopping, but I won't.

I was watching CNN today and there was a story about those god damn magnets. The story told of the makers of the original magnets and the difference between the original magents and the imitator magnets (here is the link to the original makers). Just for the record, there is a difference between the magnets that this company makes and the magnets that 7-11 sells (the imiator magents). The magnets that Magnet America sells are made in America and this company actually donates some of its profits to the troops (possibly all of its profits to the troops, the story didn't really say, but I doubt that all the profits are donated to the troops). Magnet America also came up with the original magnet idea. On the other hand, the magnets that 7-11 sells are the ripped off version, made in Taiwan, and you know damn well that those fucks over at 7-11 keep every penny of the profits. Well, I don't know that for sure, but it wouldn't surprise me. I still have a problem with the magnets, even if some of the profits go to the troops, but I guess it is for a good cause. Well, not really a good cause, I don't agree with the war. Just FYI here people, you can disagree with the war and still support our troops. Having a magnet on the back of your car has nothing to do with supporting our troops, so you won't see one on my car.

Okay, that is enough for tonight. Good night everyone!

Bush...A Wise Man?

Well, if you don't know what I'm talking about, click here

If you are too lazy to click here, read this:

"The waxwork tableau at Madame Tussauds museum included U.S. President George W. Bush as one of the three Wise Men, actors Hugh Grant and Samuel Jackson as shepherds and Australian disco diva Kylie Minogue as an angel. 'There is a well-understood tradition that each generation interprets and reinterprets the Nativity . . . but, oh dear!' said Rev. Jonathan Jenkins, spokesman for the archbishop of Canterbury, who leads the world's 77 million Anglicans."

That is one tableau that really tableaus (get it, tab-blows). You don't get it, do you? Anyways, Bush as a Wise Man? Is this some kind of sick joke? I sure hope so, if Bush is a Wise Man, I'm Marry Fucking Poppins.

That is all I have to say really. Just wanted to point that out to everyone. Also, I have some exciting stuff in the works. My school semester ends next Wednesday, which means that you all have a lot of posts to look forward to! Thank you and good night.
