party party.
it's like little caesars, but no pepperoni, just drunk people.
haha, tonight is a party for being done with the semester. it's gonna be fun.
today I had my only final... and it took a whopping...
24 minutes!!!!
seriously, that's lame. I shouldn't complain because that class really helps my gpa, but still, I'm in college... that should not be allowed.
anyways, time to get ready.

time for a new game.
so last time I rearranged my room.
I now have a coffee table. yeah, a coffee table in my room. I know I kick ass.
I picked up one of the books on the table today and began to read it when I read something hilarious. so I decided to make a game.
"name that author"
(btw, the music quiz thingy has been postponed due to me being lazy and procrastinating. deal with it, since I know you all just died a little inside)
name THIS author.
"Recently a woman called me and said she had no idea who I was but she had been told by someone - she couldn't remember who - that I give money to people like her. The woman said that she and her husband had nine kids and had moved to a desert in the Middle East. Now they were having difficulty supporting themselves because, well, they had nine kids and had moved to a desert. She figured the best solution was to call me and ask if I would support the entire family indefinitely. If you had nine children and think it's a good idea to move to the desert it is fair to say that you are not a good decision maker. So the question I had to ask myself was this: If I gave her money, would she be more likely to a) use it to feed and educate her children, or b) grunt out nine more children and move to a dislodged glacier floating in the Arctic Ocean?
The interesting part of the conversation came after I politely declined her invitation to fund the nonstop production of doomed babies. She got mad at me. Apparently she analyzed her situation and came to the conclusion that the root of her problem was the unwillingness of total strangers in other countries to give her money. And her solution to that problem was to get angry.
You might be wondering, as I was, whether this woman was actually a con artist who wasn't very good at her job, possibly an intern or a trainee. Maybe the experienced con artists in her office were playing a practical joke on her: "Tell him you're stupid and you need money to produce more people like you." I'll never know the real story. But it reminded me of all the times that my point of view differed from other people's.
For example, our current system of world government incolves giving the leaders of all the major countries access to buttons that can launch missiles and vaporize unsuspecting citizens. I think a better system would be if every world leader had to walk around with a sack of explosives on his back and every citizen had access to a wristwatch button that would detonate it. My concept had many benefits beyond the obvious entertainment factor and the reduced risk of being vaporized by an incoming missile. For one thing there would no longer be any such thing as a "slow news day." And the boring pack of lies called the State of the Union speech would last about thirty seconds. I have to think taxes would be abolished altogether. We wouldn't need all the tax money anyway: The military would be unnecessary and the economic stimulus from eliminating taxes would make all the poor people incredibly wealthy, or so I've been told. And if we needed a highway or dam built, we could give our president a trowel and then place one finger menacingly over the wristwatch button and say, "Start working, Goober." I realized that my concept would degrade the prestige of the presidency, but I don't think that prestige was doing me any good anyway."
oh man, quality.
oh, tonight I'm working on my architecture final project, which means once I turn it in, no more architecture in 2005. YAY!
I just got back from driving in the middle of the night at -5 degrees farenheit. goodtimes. Oh man I love driving so much. it's a refuge for me. but driving alone is one refuge... driving with someone else, who I get along with and is just fun, that is whole other level of refuge-ality.
anyways, time to eat something then get back to work. take it easy all. I love steak.
