Metaphor

There are many kinds of fish in the sea (when I say this, I don't mean this metaphorically, I mean literally that there are many fish in the bodies of salt water that make up a majority of the surface of Earth). They range from the common tuna to the exotic clownfish, from the normal angelfish to the flipping strange anglerfish. Yup ma fish, many descriptive words and comparisons. Just like a school. Yeah a high school is a reef.
Okay, now that the thesis is out of the way, allow me to explain. This script of runes is not declaring everyone in every high school is a fish (though some might look like one). What I'm saying is that schools seem to have a system and structure close to the system and structure of a coral reef. For instance, the main staircase (if your school has one). Everyone is crowding around it, like spot on the reef where every single fish seems to go. You also have the little fish that are hiding off in the corner, who in the school would either be the outcasts (power to ya brother), or the couple sucking face (which reminds me; does anyone have spray bottle that I could borrow?). As for the eels; they're like the drug dealers, waiting in a hole for you to swim on by, and if they catch you, you're going to be eaten (metaphorically speaking of course). Next we come to the teachers. Now if there are any teachers reading this, you should know that I don't hate you, or even dislike you. This just fits into the metaphor. In the Atlantic ocean, more specifically (not Pacifically) the Florida Keys, the lion fish is an invasive species. It eats about 35 fish a day, and the females are able to reproduce after 2 months. They stay in nooks to hunt, just like how teachers have their room. And that's how a school is essentially a coral reef.

Sexuality in Comicbook Related Subjects

today, i went to a comic book store. i love comic books (specifically green lantern and dnd), but i couldn't help but noticing how obvious the sexual advertisement used to attract buyers (who also happen to be geeks). it started with me looking at the cover of a comic book (the name of which i cant seem to remember). on the cover, there were (i think) seven children/teenagers, and they were all wearing skin tight clothing (not normal clothing, but costume sort of clothing). the males (regardless of age) were wearing full suits, with everything covered but their heads, and this was similar for the pre-pubescent females. however, when it came to the one adolescent that was female; (who, of course was clothed in something pink, but sexism is a topic for another day) she was wearing the costume, but instead of the suit covering her entire torso, it just kinda... vanished during here mid rift and then reappeared just at the start of her sternum. and im not even done. with anime, all of the girls (and yes there are a couple counter examples, that much i realize) are either well endowed, or non at all. and now the coup' de grace, the final blow, the finishing move: at the counter, there were these two cards, both for sale. one of them held on it the signature of John Ross Bowie, who play Barry Kripke on the show The Big Bang Theory (which is pretty much a soap opera for geeks and nerds). this was for sale for $25. next to it was a card that had on it a piece of the clothe that came from some pajama shorts that the actress Kaley Cuoco (who plays Penny on the big bang theory) wore during ONE episode. it was $100 dollars. So i want to see all the other example of this advertising strategy that you can find, but only the good ones, not just any old sex driven advert.

The Doldrums

My life is in a metaphorical doldrum. In the physical world, there's a ton of wind, so if I were to go sailing, I'd be fine. But I digress. I've had nothing to do for the past week, so I've had nothing to write about except about the fact that I have nothing to do. And isn't that just sad.

Camping with JD - part 2

So this past weekend, I went camping. Well, more swimming than camping. It rained the entire time, save the night we got there. But other than that, it was great. We built a catapult out of bamboo shafts and rope, with which we flung an apple about 100 ft. We also lashed (lashing is a type of knot that is used to attach two pieces of wood, usually used to construct things) we also built a chariot, a table, and an egg carrying device. I have to stop now, because the blisters on my feet are ready to burst.

Insanity

You know when you're reading a book (that's right, I said reading), and something really funny happens, causing you to laugh uncontrollably laugh full heartedly? It funny how often that seems to happen to me. I think that the best thing about it is when people look at you like you're insane. I believe that my record for surrounding life forms thinking that I've cracked in the head is about fifty (that was a crazy day). So that's the record to beat. I want you, the reader to go out and do something weird so that at least fifty people look at you like you're insane ( just keep it appropriate).

Sweet Victory

Victory is sweet. Its as sweet as ice cream. Its as sweet as kool aid through a red vine. Its as sweet as the most sweet thing in it the world. In fact it is the sweetest thing in the world. So here's to victory. And to Pekingese dogs. Cheers!

Newt Gingrich

Okay, so last semester, in one of my classes, I had to select one of the presidential candidates, but since everyone knows Obama, we had to do one of the republican candidates. so here you go, Internet, the political views of the man know as Newt Gingrich:
Name: Newt Gingrich Republican
Office: President
Qualifications: Age: 68 Geographic Location of Birth: Harrisburg, PA.

http://www.biography.com/people/newt-gingrich-9311969

 Married:
Age: 19 married Jackie Battley
Age: 38 married Marianne Ginther
Age: 57 married Callista Bisek
Education: Emory University, Tulane University, M.A. and PhD
Political Experience: Elected to Congress, House of Rep. 10 times.
Lead a charge against the Democratic Speaker of the House. Lead the
“Republican Revolution”
Ethic’s Scandal: Blamed for the political shutdowns of 1995. in 1995,
he returned a $4.5 million book advance that the house of Ethics
committee questioned.
Professional Experience: assistant professor for history and geography.
The guy got married every nineteen years. that is just wack. Now if you want to know more, please visit his site: http://www.newt.org/
I personaly don't like the man, seeing as a marriage is a commitment, and also on his site, it doesn't specify on how he's going to fix America's many problems. That is what really matters. That the person elected gets the job done. Now don't let what I say affect you, your thoughts are your own.
Now to other orders of business. Once a week, I will be finding out information on the presidential candidates for 2012, and reporting on them much like this, but more elaborately. In the mean time, I plan of writing posts more frequently, so stay tuned America, and the rest of the world, and in fact, if there are extraterrestrial life forms, then maybe they could stay tuned as well. Okay, just stay tuned.

Flight

This past saturday, i experienced flight in a small, four man airplane. good God that thing was easily jostled by tiny gusts of winds. it was like being on a roller coaster, but the ride was 2 hours long, and there were little to no points of time where it felt like i was moving forward. now, as much of a thrill ride as it was, the instinctual terrir if feeling or rather, not feeling zero gravity is nerve racking. of course, after the first hour, the nerves stopped racking and actually played pool (ba dum bum). it was a very eye opening experience, flying over the state Maryland, seeing the great being of the chesapeake bay, and saw the few places that humanity it seems nas not touched. i suggest the experience to every one, but remember, the most important thing, the thing that really makes the plane go, and that's your wallet.
