Ahh, faithful readers, I know I'm throwing you for a loop here, but I'm switching back to blogger. I'm terribly sorry about that, but Xanga doesn't have all of the features I want. If you are interested in the reasons I have them all posted on mt blog. Anyway, I will see you there . | | |

OK, you guys HAVE to check out this picture of Michael Jackson. He IS such a sick, scary "man" | | |
| SO since yesterday I've had about 40 visitors to my site. Who are you people, and, more importantly, why aren't you leaving comments or signing my guestbook or something?
Also, I absolutely love Eliot Smith. I'm still struck when I think about his death, but after listening to his melodramatic or just depressed music, it makes perfect sense to me that he did it. You can't live battling nothing forever, as Hemingway showed us, but at least Smith was able to impart some really fine music before passing away.
You know, I really think that dating Joy has completely given me a new prospect on life. My room has seriously been clean for like two months now, as has my car, and I'm actually beginning to prefer it that way and be able to find things while my room is clean... Isn't that strange?
Oh, yeah! I was reading different websites today and came accross this guy from Microsoft who was fired for posting a security sensitive picture to his blog. Now, I understand doing that if you are working for a factory somewhere, but if you are working for Microsoft you have to think that people are going to at least be looking at you, right? I mean come on... Microsoft has stuff eyes everywhere! Check the article out here, if interested...
stupid microsoft dude
Another cool thing I found, for all you bloggers out there, is this link for a permanent link generator from the New York times. Aparently, you can use this so that if you quote a story from the New York times, you can input the link thing into this and it will generate a permanent link that won't die in a few days. Anyway, I thought it was interesting, especially since now I can save stories I want to read in class on my blog and print them that way.
And to continue the rambling texture of this e-mail there is a new program out there from microsoft which is specifically designed to save every screen shot that is ever on your comp. In case the full import of that didn't sink in, there is a program out there that will record everything you do see or say that people are actually happy about. Microsoft is SO gay. I mean, can you say security risk? Ivan thinks they must have some sort of contract with the federal government.
Ok, I'm going to find some dinner, and go to the writing center. If you guys are lucky, I might post some of the papers I get. Or perhaps I should say, if you are to be as blessed as I am *sigh* One of the papers I read last time had lots of punctuation in it, which is good, but not any real sense of how to use them. I spent like 50 minutes reading this 10 page bad boy and all I was doing was pointing out grammatical mishaps. I could never be a teacher, because I lack the patience that Samual Johnson praises. Anyway, does anyone out there in the blogging commmunity have the comma rules handy? Or a place where I can find them?
OK, that's all.

So this is my new site thingy... I hope this satisfies all you people who are continually begging me to blog... It seems as if every time I open my e-mail account I have like three requests, and then every time I leave my aol on people message me merely to say that they want to hear about my life. So, here you go
And oh yeah, just in case anyone is wondering why I switched from blogger to Xanga, there really isn't any particular reason except that I wasn't excited in upkeeping my blog and I was excited about doing this Xanga thing, if merely because I get to show off my eclectic tastes in music every time I post.
Speaking of that, Belle and Sebastion are awesome, so if any of you get a chance to listen to them do so... You won't regret it.
In other news the Highlands has been an awesome experience this year. I've become more and more of a creature that needs my space and so having a single this year has been awesome. I've begun to study by myself, and my music, and to do a lot of thinking and praying in my room. I really like being by myself, sometimes, and coming home and being able to drink coffee and read undisturbed has become one of my favorite pastimes.
Classes are also going quite well this year and as I get more and more involved in literature I realize how much I love the American writers. I know all you purists out there are blanching, but if Hillsdale has given my anything it is a fairly good understanding of the American movement, and perhaps because it has been so relatively short, I've been able to thus far cover most of the big ideas and thoughts. Perhaps that's why I like it so much...
But, be that as it may I feel a terrible desire to be finished. Don't get my wrong, I love my friends, and classes and even to a certain extent my classes. But when I get an exam back and I am marked off for comma splices, I have to think to myself what in the world is the point? I feel ready to enter into the real world, start making money, and reading on my own again. I guess these sort of desires always begin to crop up at the end of a semester, but I feel so ready right now I need something new to excite me, and a change of scenery. I guess that's one thing that Christmas break is for.
Ok, faithful readers, or reader, if you are still doggedly checking for new posts, now for a couple of daily events which show the retardation of humanity. Or maybe just one...
Today, I went out to get lunch and decided to go to the new Blimpie's that just opened up, I should have stuck with Oakley. Anyway, as I go there and look around I notice that you get free coffee with your meal. When they asked me what kind of coffee I wanted I was also encouraged to see that I could get espresso, but it all ended there *sigh* The guy asked me if I was sure I wanted "expresso" because that wasn't real coffee. It doesn't have, he told me, as much caffeine as regular coffee and it is only in ounce shots.
Unphased by his knowlege of coffee I told him I still wanted it, and he went on to insinuate that because I was drinking it I must be a caffeine light weight. ME, a lightweight. I tell you, faithful readers, I was astounded. How does one combat such a statement? I asked him whether or not he had ever tried espresso and he told me that he'd have to drink too much of it to get a full cup of coffee!!
Well, that was enough for me. I paid for my meal and left, completely at a loss, for one time in my life, as to what to say...
Hillsdale is such a strange place sometimes.
In other news, I've discovered the happiness of shout fast acting gell. I will never lose any more clothes to espresso stains... I wish though that I had known about it before I went to school and then I would have been able to save all of those stained clothes I left at home... Oh, well.
Last thing for today. Check out my website! www.tweedtoad.net. I have a lot of pictures on it and it will give some of you an idea of what is going on, who I am, etc. ok, I promise to Xanga again soon.
Spread the word about the new site.
Peace.
