Sorry everyone....I've been busy with classes and my mexico trip. Speaking of the mexico trip, we started for the interior of mexico since we've seen a lot of the coastal region, at least the eastern coast. We talked about a stop at the capital Mexico City, but depending on what she says, i'd like to go and see Baja California. Yeah, it's another coast, but its the western one this time, and I think that would be cool. what do you say kerry?

I hope emmie is happy that i busted my ass and got all of my homework done before this weekend so that I dont have anything to worry about when I go attend a wedding with her this weekend in waterloo. The only thing that's comming up for me is a take home test in thermodynamics tomorrow. I should be able to get it done, me and some people were going to start on it right after he gives it to us tomorrow at 11. My goal is to have it done before 3, when i have symphonietta.

the only other thing tonight: HALO 2 RULES!!!!


heart otto

i thought this worth the time to read

I got this in an e-mail from my friend maggie back in winona. Here it is:

Dear President Bush, members of the Christian Coalition, etc. --

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from you and understand why you would propose and support a constitutional amendment banning same sex marriage. As you said, "in the eyes of God marriage is based between a man and a woman." I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination... End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them.

1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

2. I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

3. I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanness - Lev.15: 19-24. The problem is how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

4. When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is, my neighbors. The claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

5. I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2. clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself, or should I ask the police to do it?

6. A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this? Are there 'degrees' of abomination?

7. Lev.21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle-room here?

8. Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though Lev. 19:27 expressly forbids this. How should they die?

9. I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

10. My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev.19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair, like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14) I know you have studied these things extensively and thus enjoy considerable expertise in such matters, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging, and for not keeping church and state separate.

wow does my brain hurt

I have such a bad headache today :(. I think it's because i'm getting aclimated to my new frames that i had to buy today since my old ones broke last night as I tried to clean my lenses. Lesson learned, let your glasses stay dirty, save yourself $45. Otherwise I had a long day.

one other thing before i tell you about my continuing mexico trip with Kerry, Emily told me yesterday that when i go to waverly this weekend, that i need to call her cell phone when i get off on the waverly exit. Oh i'll call her when i "get off" alright :).

So here's what happening with me and Kerry in Mexico:
We got to Tampico today! I like it here. She keeps complaining about the yucatan or something crazy, so i guess I've got to go so that she'll stop bugging me about it. It is nice there i hear though, so maybe i'll like it. I guess i shouldn't be too picky, we are having a blast not worrying about a thing and living the high life. So......we're going to start for the yucatan tomorrow and see those old as hell ruins! YAY!

One last side note: V'ka is being mean and not believing me when I tell her that my glasses are broken.


BORED!?!? GO VISIT KERRY'S SITE! http://www.geocities.com/smiley_k17/

too much stuff to hide in phil's closet

That's right....this morning i had to remove all the beer from the fridge and put it into phil's closet, because there is no more room in mine to hide anything from the RA :). Jake, Nick, and I decided last night that we would go out and by two 12 packs of miller high life (yes some of you may dislike that beer, but i do like it a lot). So, you may think that we were plastered last night...but surprisingly we were not. I only had 4 High Life's and 1 Amber Boch, but i had to trade Ryan my last Killians Irish Red for that one. When it was all said and done, we had 16 High Life's left in the fridge and I had inherited 4 Sam Adams. Never had them, but i intent to have them this next friday, unless i have other/better plans come up. So i actually think I came out ahead for beer, but enough about alchohol for now.

Damn SUFAC and making me wait around here at the student center for an hour waiting! I want to get done with all of my things and go do nothing in my room, or as I like to call it: watch football. However, I need to get going kids! I shall post later, maybe again tonight even.

heart, Otto

IT'S SATURDAY NIGHT!

yeah, that will be the most positive thing on here tonight. Sorry.

I'm in a downer mood tonight, and I dont know exactly why. Was it because I spent the last hour or so with veronika so that she wasnt in such a bad mood herself? I hope not, and it probably isnt. I'm assuming its that i have not had any decent social plans all weekend. grrr. It probably doesnt help that I'm wanting a girlfriend, but whenever I try to get one, something gets in the way. Nothing has happened with my becky interest yet, but i'm sure some bad karma will happen. I am counting on it. :( finally....I'm down because i have no time to myself tomorrow and relax. I have to be at the music building at 12-4 for quartet practice, then I go to the student center until 5 for SUFAC meetings, and then I have to call my friend adam and my mom. The only thing that I have planned tomorrow that I know i'll enjoy is when I call emily about how to get to the wedding in waterloo next weekend.

another note: I'm good with ryming when i've had a drink. for example, i may ask myself out loud, "Is this enough to take the pain away or do I need more today?" (hehe that one i find funny), or "I'm a poet while drinking, or I just say what I'm thinking."
