That is the stupidest thing ever.

Sounds like you're enjoying yourself MM. Zia would be the expert on the colleges but I have heard good things about both, especially UCLA. Good luck making your decision.

A few posts back both Zia and I listed some suggestions. Since tomorrow is your last day, don't know how much you want to cram in one day. Have you been to the ocean yet? A little cool for swimming but nice to talk a walk and maybe see some surfers (if that interests you), grab a bite to eat and have a relaxing time.

Anyway, again, good luck in choosing your college no matter where you end up. Keep us posted.

I did the Venice Beach boardwalk today, pretty nice. Dropped a little more cash then I wouldve like to, but still forgot to buy something for my girlfriend.

Hey MM! I'm glad you're liking L.A. so far... isn't it an awesome place? What day did you go to UCLA? I was probably there, we should have had some coffee together or something.

As for suggestions, you might try Santa Monica if you haven't been yet. 3rd Street Promenade is really cool, especially if you go on a sunny Sunday afternoon (like tomorrow), because there are a lot of interesting people around. Plus the pier's right there, that's nice too.

Did you get to see any other film schools? If you went on the big streets like Wilshire and Sunset, I'm sure you passed by some of the famous ones.

Cool place, right? Isn't it cool seeing people work out at Muscle Beach? Venice truly is one of the coolest places ever. Was it crowded today?

Did you happen to walk around off the boardwalk, in the inside residential streets? That's really cool, because they all have little canals going through them, and gorgeous little bridges and stuff. It looks like a completely different world than the Boardwalk. The guy who built Venice Beach back in the late 1800's (Abbott Kinney) modeled it almost exactly after the real Venice, which is why the architecture is so Venetian (minus all the crazy murals and graffiti ). But what a lot of people (even people who live in L.A.) don't know is that there really are canals, too.

Anyway, good luck, I hope your folks let you move out here!

I'm ecstatic! I bought two Maynard Ferguson CDs today at a half-price bookstore.

My mom took me there because I've been listening to Maynard a lot, and I'd been wanting to get at least something of his. When we first got there and started looking around, I didn't see anything by him, and I was getting pretty negative about it - finally, I came across a record album of his, then the same thing on CD, and finally, two other CDs! I settled on these two:



This is apparently one of his (if not the) newest. I hadn't heard any of the songs on it, yet, so it's cool to have all new ones to listen to.



I read a review on this that said it would become somewhat "obsolete" if other certain CDs came out which would have the same songs, but I'm not worried. It's just so great to have these two.

I love that name for him, too. "Master of the Stratosphere."

It's just a cheap ripoff of Trish's finishing move the Stratus-Fear

Do not say that Maynard is copying Trish.

Never defy Maynard.

I need your opinions ladies. Have I applied my makeup right?

Oooh sailor, you're so strong.

Is that a canoo in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Young man, you don't need to feel down. I said young man, keep your head off the ground...

Damn I've broke a nail.

And I said to my girl, Chantel. No way sista you should leave that zero and get with a hero. Uh huh!

LMAO

You might want to go a little lighter on the blush Turi!! Are you having an idendity crisis?

"How the Grinch stole Christmas" is on tv already. The holiday season just seems to come earlier every year.

I went Christmas shopping today and yesterday. I already have the presents I bought wrapped. Very happy about that. I do have some more gifts to buy though.

This Christmas has had films shown since last Boxing Day. Home Alone 2 aired last Boxing Day. Now how early is that?

TIS, good going. I got two birthday presents today, one for a girl at home, and one for a girl in California. I'm starting Christmas shopping soon, too.

My mam and dad just got back from an all-day reggae gig. My dad's been talking to Gerry Dammers, from The Specials.

Rest in peace, Eddie Guerrero. 1967 - 2005

What are you, in the Navy or something? One in every port, as they say...

I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping too, although gifts for some people take longer than others... Like my parents, who are like the hardest people to shop for. They don't want me to get them anything, so I have to make it extra special and original so they won't yell at me for it.

you should shock them and not get them anything, jk I know how you feel my dads a pain in the ass to shop for, unless it has a coca cola label on it, then he just bitches about how I shouldn't waste money on him.

My friend Bill read the spoilers for Raw.. and I guess Chris Benoit talks about Eddie... thats gonna be sad

Differences between the articles of confederation and the constitutution of the United States were many yet they can be summarized as this: The Articles of Confederations did not allow for the centralized fedral governemnt to have a strong base of power in fear of another monoarchy or dictatorship to form, while the constitution empowered and gave many of the most important powers to the national governement.
First of all, the articles of confederation did not give the federal government to levy taxes, a big mistake in my opinion. It allowed only the state govements to levy taxes, creating chaos and also causing trobules for the nation when we needed to pay back forgein debts owed to our allies following the revolution. It also allows for great inflation while we have over seventeen pices of currency being circulated trough out the infant republic, while of course the constitution allows for the governement of the nation to be the only body to levy taxes.
The articles of confederation also sets up a congress set up of two house, both of which have an equal amount of delegates per state, the number being two. Of course, with the creation of the constitution and the Great compromise came the two houses of congress, one following the idea listed above while the second house of congress would have an amount of mebers decided mainly by the amount of the states population.
The Constitution however does set upon itself some checks and balnces not forseen for the articles of confederation to challenge the fear of perhaps one executive taking power of the nation.


more emergency posting of homework...

P.S: Fuck Comcast.

Got to see Dave Chappelle live last night. He was only out for an hour and I don't think it was worth the $60, but to say that I've seen Dave Chappelle live, that's DEFINITELY worth $60

yes, in order to be "politically correct" we are losing our own identity!

My hubby is on a deer hunting trip in Kentucky. He called me yesterday and told me he got a 6 point buck. Now I have to go out and buy a freezer.

My car has taken a beating. I am car-less and unless I'm extra lucky it looks like it'll be written off. Some guy ran into me whilst he was on the wrong side of the road overtaking a parked car. The thing is he was still on the wrong side of the road even though the parked car he overtook was nearly four house lengths past. No one was hurt but I wish I was. I could do with the money.

Glad to hear you're ok. What is it with guys who drive on the wrong side of the road.
