Have you often wondered about the Power Rangers and how stereotypical they are. Specially the first generation.

You have Trini, the Vietnamese girl (RIP), as the yellow ranger. Zach, the token black man, is the Black Ranger. Cute as cotton candy Kimberly (the typical valley girl) as the Pink Ranger. And All-American Boys Tommy, Jason and Billy as the Rangers of White, Red and Blue (Unless Jason is a Native American, in which case...)

Thankfully, we never met Hector the Brown Ranger

Talk about being stereotypical...

Uh, he's right, isn't he? That show was 100% politically correct. A well diverse cast destroying monsters (in a very cheesy and low budget way).

God I hate that show.

Yeah I hear you man. Is like my uncle Hector Brown used to say

''Mijo, one day people will judge by the color of your skin. Don't mind them and go ahead and enjoy life.''

My uncle Hector was a wise man and a fine forest ranger. He went through a lot of crap back in the sixties.

Thank God for Cesar Chavez

And to the fellow that talked about the Power Rangers- Yeah, they were cheesy and formulaic. That's probably why is now a stoner classic

Or so my nephew says

POWER RANGERS....wow, a quick and painful trip to my childhood. I didn't notice how back in the day its old 70's/80's usual Japanese fighting robot/monster show that just got re-released in the States with new stuff.

While Gen-X had ULTRAMAN, Gen-Y got POWER RANGERS. What a crappy trade!

School starts for me tomorrow...

I'm going to hate waking up early, but I'll be glad when I get used to the normal schedule of sleep, homework and all that fun stuff.

What classes are you taking?

Should be Chemistry, U.S. History, Calculus, Spanish 3, English 3, a required computer class as an elective, and of course, Band.

That's a horrible set of classes lol

I'm pretty decent in calc if you have a question you can ask me, I can try and answer lol

That's why I'm not too excited.

I really might take you up on the offer with calculus, which I appreciate. My teacher for pre-cal last year was wonderful - he was fun, so that we didn't get too bored, but he explained everything so well. I've heard rumors about this year's teacher, so if she ends up being a dud, I might be coming here for homework help. It seems that my math teachers alternate over the years of being great and terrible, so we'll see if the pattern continues.

I thought this was pretty funny.

Very close but him but his mole is on the other side Blake, did you ever get the Samurai Champloo DVDs?

Not yet. Can I have a link to that site again?

Here's the official site. I don't know if you can order the DVDs through here. If not go to amazon.com

I've watched several Samurai Champloo episodes on Adult Swim, and it was good, although I don't really like the hip-hop/modern aspects of it. Otherwise the characters and shows are pretty entertaining.

DM, well, today was my first day, so I took a picture of the teacher for you...is she a dud?

I can't imagine you trying to learn anything if she were your teacher.

Oh, I did notice a funny thing about my history teacher today. I think he was talking about students who don't read the lessons out of the book, as they should, and he said something about how they "play little games." As soon as I heard this phrase, I realized how much he sounded like Senator Geary in the Godfather! His voice mixed with that line immediately reminded me of that - and later, I decided he also sounded like the John Shooter character in Secret Window.

I liked it. The soundtrack is awesome!

Well my mini vacation with Becky is over. I am going back to real life to WVA in the morning.

I got my digital camera in the mail today. It's a Nikon Coolpix 7900 7.1 MP Digital Camera (its so tiny, it's about the size of my cell phone!). When I figure out how the hell to use it, I'll be sure to post some pics.

Oh I'm sure I'd learn SOMETHING, it just probably wouldn't pertain to the course

You could have responded with (even though out of order) :
Teacher we're both part of the same hypocrisy. But never think it applies to my family

Also don't hesitate to tell some of these "teachers" who you know

Just saw the trailer for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and it looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see it and read the book

I am looking forward to seeing Goblet of Fire aswell, it will be a while yet until it comes out in the UK

Have they given you guys a release date yet?

I just checked the website and it says "In cinemas November 2005"

Well there you go. I'm assuming you've seen the first 3?

Yeah I have the 1st and 2nd ones on DVD and the 3rd one I seen at the cinema but didnt like it as much as the first 2. My favourite of the 3 would have to be The Chamber of Secrets I enjoyed that one, maybe its because thats the only book I have read.

Ive got all the books aswell except the new one but I am waiting until it comes out on paperback as thats what my other ones are.

You've only read book 2!? I read the first 3 in 2 weeks and am about to start book 4. I'm so excited because I haven't seen the movie yet (naturally) so the story is still unknown to me. I as well have the movies and would probably rank the movies:

1) Sorcerer's Stone
2) Prisoner of Azkaban
3) Chamber of Secrets

Books would be:
1) Prisoner of Azkaban
2) Sorcerer's Stone
3) Chamber of Secrets

I still can't believe how much they age between films.

Yeah well kids will do that. I'm glad they're sticking with the original 3 kids because I heard after 3 or 4 they were thinking of recasting (HORRIBLE idea!) I'm sure Harry Potter in the books ages too (unless he knows some anti-aging spell/potion)
