So, I am starting to have trouble finding music to listen to while I'm in certain moods.

So, anybody got suggestions for bands I should get?

I've been OD'ing on Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead lately, so need something new.

The Expatriate Achtung! You are 15% brainwashworthy, 27% antitolerant, and 23% blindly patriotic

Congratulations! You are not susceptible to brainwashing, your values and cares extend beyond the borders of your own country, and your Blind Patriotism ("patriotism" for short) does not reach unhealthy levels. In Germany in the 30s, you would've left the country. One bad scenario -- as I hypothetically project you back in time -- is that you just wouldn't have cared one way or the other about Nazism. Maybe politics don't interest you enough. But the fact that you took this test means they probably do. I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt. Did you know that many of the smartest Germans departed prior to the beginning of World War II, because they knew some evil shit was brewing? Brain Drain. Many of them were scientists. It is very possible you could be one of them, depending on your age. Conclusion: Born and raised in Germany in the early 1930's, you would not have been a Nazi.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 4% on brainwashworthy You scored higher than 38% on antitolerant You scored higher than 26% on patriotic

Not the results I was hopeing for, but atleast I'm not a nazi!

So, I didn't like my hair curly. It kinda sucked. So I had my mom relax it today, and she cut it and stuff. It looks awesome now. My Mom thinks I look like Keanu Reeves...? I dunno.

Anyway, that was the big news. Fun, ain't it? Heh.

Been kinda bored lately, been looking for some new things to do. Been playing games alot lately, working on my site, that kind of shit. Eh, oh well.

So, that's my big update! Woohoo!

~ The "Almighty" Gregathis

Been a long ass time since I updated -- and I seem to say this every time I manage to actually update. Go me.

So, what have I been up to?

Simple Version: Not much, same 'ol same 'ol
Complex Version: #*$&*@&Rjfdjfe5434 and working on API.

How's that work for you? No comprende? Oh well, too bad, I don't care.

Christmas was... Christmas. What else is there to it?

I've been keeping myself busy lately with games and programming, all that good Geek shit. Going to sleep at 3am, waking up at 12:30pm -- ain't it the life?
I wish I didn't have to go back to school in a week. Gonna bite majorly. Oh well, I'll enjoy this while I can.

So, my birthday's tomorrow, and I got nothing planned. Didn't really take the time to invite people to any party of any sort, wasn't really in the mood I guess. I just wanna chill, get some bday money and buy some cool shit, and hopfully get some good presents. Ain't that what everyone wants for their birthday? Well, I guess that's the way it goes.

I got a long ass list of things I need to do, and I didn't get nearly as much done this break as I had hoped, but it's all good. I can't wait for this school year to be over. I'm taking more programming classes at the JC next semester, which is cool. It's funny how if I manage my JC classes right, and I get my AA in Computer Science, I will also end up getting a AA in Math without having to take any extra courses. I've already got 3 of the classes I need done, and will be 4 by the end of this next semester. So that's some good news.

Let's see... I can't think of anything else to really talk about. Not in the typing mood, I think I'm just going to go watch some TV.

~ See you in hell

I am beside myself. Pell grants, which is money for students to go to college, are becoming unavailable for 85,000 students, and 1.2 million students who are currently receiving Pell grants will have their funding decreased.

Where is this money going, you ask?
This bill is going to help pay $2 million for a presidential yacht.

Think about this...
85,000 students will be unable to attend college in order for the president to have a yacht.

Also, farmers will be loosing $400 million of soil conservation money in order for us to make an American Cotton Museum in Texas.

I am so fucking outraged at this atrocity that I can't even see straight.

Join us in our Anti-Bushness! Weeeeeee!

The republicans may have won the White House, but once again California shows their independence and hate for the central-american ideal of Evangelist Christians -- Stem Cell Research has passed in California, with a bond of $300 million a year for 10 years.

Bush didn't win because of Iraq, or any other real important issue. Here's what happened (Please note I'll be highly generalizing from this point on):

The liberal/Democratic ("blue") states on the west coast and north east of America based their votes differently than Central America ("red" states). The blue states that voted for Kerry voted for the following issues: Iraq, Economy, Education, and Health Care. The red states voted on the issue of morality, based on religion. The numbers don't lie.

The voter turn out was about $114 million, which is lower than the projected $120 million which was based on voter registrations. What group of people didn't show up to vote? It was the young people (Ages 18-24).

However, this election there was a turnout of a highly unexpected group of people -- Evangelist Christians, who did NOT vote in the 2000 election. These people where mainly based in the 11 states that had Gay Marriage on the ballot, and they obviously voted for Bush because he "Shared their moral views". Ohio was the tie-breaker in this election, last election is was Florida. If Ohio didn't put Gay Marriage on the ballot, Bush wouldn't have won that state.

I continue to hear conservatives call liberals "moral less". I don't see how we are moral less. Liberals are more scientific, California's results are an example of that. Conservatives are more religious, and think everyone should be constrained to a single point of view, and allow no room for experimentation that could ultimately save lives.

I think Mark Wardlaw said it best (This is an email forwarded to me today [by Mrs. Joyner]):

"It's tempting to go over the top and to call this the worst night of my life. Once again, the majority of Californians have been reminded that our opinions are moot and that our votes are irrelevant in national elections, even though we live in the most populous state and wield the greatest economic clout. Once again, the state that should play the biggest role in casting electoral votes has been reduced to an understudy in the baffling power play that has seen rural America move to the center stage of American politics.

However, I can't really dwell on how I feel tonight. Sadly, the pain and abandonment I'm experiencing at this moment will pale in comparison to what lies in store for most Americans during the next four years. It would be easy to say that they've done it to themselves and that they'll deserve what they get. Nonetheless, I think we can expect inevitable and profound changes that are certain to have a major impact on the next several generations of Americans.

Ironically, President Bush's most significant support comes from Americans who have gained nothing from him and his policies. He enjoys overwhelming support from the ordinary (read: lower middle class and underclass) citizens of the "red" states. To put it bluntly, these people are the cannon fodder in his senseless war. They are the people whose veterans' benefits he wants to cut, those who cannot afford health insurance and those whose social security benefits he wants to plunder. What are we to make of a citizenry so indifferent to these facts that they would reward an incompetent president with four more years in the oval office?

Throughout the campaign, John Edwards spoke of "two Americas." He described an America of a few "haves" and an overwhelming number of "have-nots." While I'll be the first to admit that, in a global sense, very few Americans truly are "have nots," I also recognize that the gap between the rich and poor in our country is getting wider each day. This disturbing trend is only one example, in my opinion, of the "two Americas" Senator Edwards spoke about. Here are others:

One America is the west coast and the northeast, and the other America is the rest of the country.

One America is where people read, think for themselves and gather information from a variety of sources. The other America gets its information from Fox News and at church.

One America believes that taxes are the price of freedom and civilization. The other America believes that taxes are evil and that we should keep more of our own money regardless of the resulting deterioration of our infrastructure and services.

One America believes that gay people are entitled to all of the rights and privileges of straight people and that it's nobody's business what any of us does in our own lives. The other America believes that gay people have chosen a deviant lifestyle and that granting legal rights to their "selfish hedonism" would threaten the "sanctity" marriage.

One America believes that religion and prayer are private matters that do not belong in school or the workplace. The other America believes that (Christian) religion and prayer should be forced on all of us.

One America believes that it is a woman's right to choose and that the government has absolutely no jurisdiction in this private matter. The other America favors legislation that will imposes their sense of morality on every woman.

It is clear to me that rural America has re-elected this president based on narrow, so-called moral and religious "values." I fear for our gay siblings, relatives and friends who will endure a sustained assault on their rights, dignity and humanity. I fear for our children who will be saddled with an obscene national debt that will severely restrict their prosperity and security. I fear for poor women who will be forced into back-alley abortions.

Most of all, I'm angry. We're a divided nation with huge cultural divides. I'm sick of hearing that, as a liberal democrat, I have no values. I will not rally behind this president. I will be one of the shrill voices constantly saying, "I told you so!" Every time someone complains about the economy, gas prices, more deaths in Iraq, no viable exit plan from this war, etc. I will say with pride, "I didn't vote for this fraud!"

Thanks for indulging me. "

Pick your battle. Keep in mind -- Science has never been proven wrong.

Call Me Ishmael.

It's come to my attention that the never ending cycle of life has continued in a spiral pattern that will lead to mutual understanding and confusion. As the enjoyed sorrow of others comes forth in the information highway, the never ending hate for the happy becomes ever more aparent. I will not stand down my right to view; I will not stand down from freedom -- My life is what I make it, and I choose to make it mine. As we try to comprehend our present, and look forward to our future, we forget the past; we forget our mistakes. Do not tempt fate. Do not fight destinty. I have realized mine, now you must realize your's. The future starts now, and ends now. We make it what we make ourselfs; we make it in our own image.


The confusion of one man, is the understanding of another.


"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and
your own common sense. " - Buddha

"What is happening in my country I did not want; I did not ask for it. The Great Father in Washington spoke to his children, and
they set their dog-soldiers against us. They acted as though they had neither heads nor hearts.

I lived peacefully and took care of my children. I committed ill acts toward no man. But they say we are bad. They took our homes
and our lands that belonged to our fathers and their fathers before them. We did not wish to give even a part of it to the Great
Father.

The soldiers frightened our women and children. They took us from our children and put us in their prisons. Our old women wept and I thought I should cry, but then I remembered that I was a man. Our dreams died, and my heart was heavy; there was no hope and it seemed the Great Spirit had forgotten us. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad.

Hear me, my friends, these are my words. When history looks back upon these bitter times it will say: 'This Drug War is wrong.'
We are not dogs, we are men, and from where the sun stands, we will fight forever."
-- Steve Tucker, Drug War POW, 1995

I started this thing at 9:00am and now it's almost 5:40pm. God damn this was harder than I thought. 50 things is a lot, but it's all good.

So I guess it's been trendy to post our schedules for this year, and usually I'm the last one to follow trends, but eh... what the hell. Here it is:

1st Period: Bilogy - FELEAY
2nd Period: English - FUNNEN
3rd Period: Free (JC Course)
4th Period: Free (JC Course)
5th Period: French - OSMER
6th Period: Geometry - INGRAM

Yeah. Awesome schedule I think. It's going to be a busy year with 2 JC classes and really hard HS classes. Homework++, but it works good. Glad I don't have PE this year, but I'm going to take Archery at the JC next Semester with Max and Mollye, so that will work for PE credits. I don't know any of the teachers at all, so if anyone knows them tell me. Hopefully I got really good teachers this year.

http://papernapkin.net/

^-- New way to say no. Good little bar tip for all you ladies out there to get rid of those annoying guys.

So... what have I been doing?
Nothing.
I got two JC Classes going. MW 10:30am - 1:00pm is my C++ class. On Tuesday's I now have a Unix class (which reminds me... gatta register for that). And that's about it. HS Starts on the 30th, and I'm kinda looking foward to it. Get to see everyone again. Fun stuff.

I was at Jackson's party on Monday, which was awesome. Got to see lots of people again, and it was cool. We swam and shit, and Tony kinda scratched my back on accident. (CUT YOUR NAILS DAMMIT!)

Not much else to say. I'll be seeing most of you in a few weeks. Fun indeed.

Peace~

For the first time in history the American army was used in a war against the American people, not far from where I live. In fact... it's just a few hours drive from where I live. The American army, complete with automatic rifles and backed up with a dozen black hawk attack helicopters, raided Humboldt County, California (200 miles north of San Francisco). The mountain people were scared as shit. People with automatic rifles raiding their home, pointing guns at them and their children... And they weren't even fighting a person, and not fighting Nazi's or Communists. They were "fighting" a PLANT. Yes, that's right... they were fighting a fucking PLANT. Yes... the Marijuana Plant. They did manage to find a few plants, and to make the pile look bigger for the news cameras they brought in a bunch from the government’s "secret stash". They said; "Another step for the war on drugs". War? The American army set to war against the American people? And this is supposed to make us feel safe, secure, and protect? Protect from what... exactly.

Not to long ago there was a protest in Humboldt County. They were chaining themselves to 800 year old trees to prevent them from being cut down. To save one of the last remaining virgin forests in our country. The loggers saying; "What about paper? We need wood for paper! You need paper and cardboard to make those protest signs!". The answer has been right under our noses... GROW MORE POT! If you want to save the Earth and to ozone, we all just need to get together and GROW MORE POT.

There's a book out titled "The Emperor Wears No Clothes", by Jack Herer. And in this book, among other places, it says... before the 20th century the Marijuana plant provided almost all of the worlds paper, all the world's clothing, and almost all the world's rope. According to the US Department of Agriculture you can make more paper out of an acre of Marijuana hemp plants then you can from an acre of trees. And instead of cutting down redwood tree's and turning all of northern California, Washington, and Oregon into a desert, if you do it with hemp plants you can just grow MORE, and make MORE paper, at 1/4 the cost of making paper from wood, and at 1/5 the pollution. The Ancient Romans grew it, Henry the 8th made each farmer in old England grow their share, because they all knew if you want the strongest natural fiber there is, you got to GROW MORE POT.

America did too, guess what Levi Jeans use to be made out of, and guess what American flags use to be made out of. And guess what the early drafts of the declaration of independence and the constitution were written on? And if that doesn’t fit your religion... guess what they made Bible’s out of!? Guess what you can use to power you’re CAR. You can get at least 4x as much cellulous to make methanol from hemp stems as you can from a corn stalk, which along with solar energy would be a great way to prevent dieing from oil. In the 1920’s and early 1930’s you had to option to have your car run on gas or methanol. And most racing car’s still do run on methanol. In the 1760’s in some American conolonies you can even be JAILED for not growing pot. Hemp was also legal tender up until the early 1800’s. Hemp is also a great source for protein, even more so than Soy Beans, and it’s cheaper than Soy Beans too, or so says the US Department of Agriculture.

Marijuana is legal for Medical use in 34 states, used to treat a whole list of things. It’s even shown some signs to be able to combat HERPES. And, guess what kind of a parachute George Bush himself used when he bailed out of that bomber in World War 2? Hemp was illegal by then, but some farmers were told to grow it again for the war effort. And the US army has their own stash all along in some colonies in the Philippines.

How did everything get turned around so badly? Doesn’t it seem pointless that we burn oil and choke ourselves and chop down trees and ruing our lives by throwing innocent people in jail, and sending them to drug camp and selling all their property before their brought to trial. In the process making cocaine and heroine cheaper and easier to get than Marijuana. Why do we do this when we don’t have to!? Meanwhile the LA Police Chief gets front page approval for telling the US Senate that pot smokers should be shot on sight, because smoking pot is treason. Why was marijuana cracked down on so violently?

Ready for the truth?

In 1936 Popular Mechanics magazine hailed the invention of a new machine that could process hemp, predicting that Hemp would once again become the world’s largest cash crop. This did not sit well with companies such as Hurst Paper Manufacturing and other multi-nationals who had large timber holdings. And didn’t sit to well with Dupont. Hemp processing uses only 1/5th the chemicals used to process wood pulp, and Dupont just patented a new wood pulp process, and Dupont’s patented process fibers had just passed up Hemp as the number 2 fiber next to cotton, and they wanted to keep it that way. And the last thing the big drug company’s wanted was to loose their share of the disease industry market, to other natural things such as Marijuana, because you can’t own and make money of a patent for medicine in the United States unless the drug has chemicals in it, if it’s all natural ingredients you can’t patent it. Maybe that’s why we don’t have access to a cure for cancer or AIDS.

Marijuana was outlawed in 1937. They used sickening (to me) propaganda to make people hate Marijuana. They pulled the racism card. They said; “Smoking pot may make you fall under the influence of listening to jazz”, and it was even said on the floor of Congress than Marijuana had to be banned because it might make a Black man look at a White woman twice. So, Marijuana was outlawed as “devil weed” in 1937.

It’s amazing how the government censors our information so much. Can you imagine the mass rampage if this kind of information really got out, and people KNEW that this “drug problem” they keep hearing about and reading about is being caused by the government themselves? And people knew how easily each one of us individually could turn our ecological and human crisis around without resorting to nazi bullshit like oil wars and drugs wars just by saying NO to George Bush? And people knew that the very companies that provide us with Kleenex and Paper Towels and junk mail have systematically and brutally rearranged everyone of our lives, that we are literally wiping our ass with our own future. And it doesn’t have to be this way! You don’t need to smoke pot to realize that the real drug problem in this world is not the drugs, and we can help solve our drug problem, crime problems, environmental problems, even our racial problems if we say no to our government and get together and GROW MORE POT.

The truth? There is no truth in this world anymore.
