random thoughts
Like an ant crawling on my neck I feel this sickness creeping up on me.
Found some really good articles today and read that one that kevin posted about trolling. I like when I read really good interesting news articles and not sad ones. Recently, a lot have been about the shitty economy and the 2008 presidential election.
This short chubby girl with coke bottle glasses just came up and said, "i'm looking for books about alcoholism." You'd think that she would begin looking on the first floor by either using one of the million computers there or asking people from either one of the two desks but she somehow managed to bypass those things and go straight to the second floor, asking the dude who has his feet up on the desk and reading a very good news article. I told her that she should use the library website and to type in "alcoholism" in the search bar. Before I could slap her in the face, she left to do that. I kinda felt bad. Maybe she hadn't been in a library before and was so taken aback by everything on the first floor that she ran up stairs and frantically looked for someone who she thought was the hottest most knowledgeable student worker on the floor. Maybe her definition of "looking" was different than mine in that mine meant to actively find while hers meant to get. If she came up to me and the first thing she said was, "I need you to get me some books on alcoholism." i would be way madder but at least she told me straight up "get me" the books rather than "I'm looking" but not really. Whatever the case, I took back feeling bad for her when she came back to me and said that the computers were being retarded and for me to just give her some books and she would just get them herself. I did it. Wrote three books call numbers on a paper and asked if she knew where to go. Of course she didn't but I didn't want to be a dick like her and just assume that she didn't know. So i asked and she said no. Using all the strength and self-restraint in my body to not say anything sarcastic I politely told her where she would be able the get the books that i wrote down.

can someone please tell me why i fart so goddam much? seriously.
i think i'm gonna get a blogspot account and start to use that instead of this. Mainly for because google sites is not really meant to be used to blog. I'm just not sure what to title it. I've learned that everything that i ever use on the internet, like sn's, passwords, display names, email address, end up sounding really dumb to me in a couple of months. some possible names for my blog would be: dj edamame, serious jacob. That's it right now.
OCTOBER 18 (1230 am)
i just farted. really loudly. it was so powerful that it made the seat vibrate. It sent shock waves into the floor beneath my feet. the structure which encompasses me rumbled like the fiery depths of Hell's volcanoes.
...and it felt damn good. shiiiiiiit
october 13 again
Maaaan. Let it be known. That my biggest regret of college is not turning in that goddamm Judaism final paper. What the hell was I thinking. Maybe at the time, it felt like I was being really noble about it. But now, I just feel like the biggest dumbass in school. Because I didn't turn it in I ended up getting a F for the class and it brought my gpa down .6. So now my gpa is not high enough to study abroad. I wanna complete my major and minor so I don't think that going the fall semester of senior year is an option. I'll have to wait till I graduate to go to Japan.
I also wanted to complain about another thing. Since I failed, I have to make up the credits somehow. So either I take a class during the winter break, take 5 classes during the spring semester, or take summer school.
Can it please be 9, so that I can make all these worries go away with some heroes.

So I just mailed the thing to vote and I'm waiting to get my card. I don't know what I do with the card but I guess I use it to vote. So ya, I just looked at the national election polls and it says that Obama has 49% and McCain has 41%, the rest are undecided. The news makes it seem that Obama is clearly going to be the next president. But when I look at the polls it says that they are still really close. I wish I wasn't so lazy so that I'd find out why almost the same amount of people are still going to vote for McCain. Is it cause he's white and Obama is black? Are they all just hardcore Republicans? Are they all not ready for change and super traditional? I'm not sure.
Here's why I decided to vote:
It's not really that much of a hassle. To register, all I had to do was fill out this really surprisingly short form.
The next election seems so far away from now.
The next election is in 2012, two years after my expected graduation date. Voting while still in college is a must.
Not a lot of people vote, especially youngins and I ain't no follower.
This years election is for a new president, which might make it seem more worth it in the end because whoever you vote for, there's going to be a new president anyways.
It made me weary when I would read and see all this pro-Obama and anti-McCain stuff and find out that McCain is not super far behind in the polls as the media makes it sound.
Since I'm in college and I guess this age, I want to participate and
(1 am. I'll finish this later. I'm tired.)

I'm in the computer labs waiting for my conversations partners to call me. They should be out of class now. I decided to do the conversation group program thing because I think that it would look good for when I apply to JET. And I did it last year and it was pretty cool. But at least last year it was with a Japanese girl who could help me with my homework. This time it's with two Korean dudes, who are like super older and super Korean and ya. I have no idea what to talk with them about. Sheeeeit. But Jun, one of the dudes, just called me and now I'm off to the library to chat. Fuuuugggg.
I have no idea what I was worrying about. We were talking and the next thing you know, a hour had passed. He's going to attempt to teach me Korean, a language that I eventually want to learn. Hopefully, by just talking to me and hearing me talk, his English will improve and my life will have meaning. Hahhahahhahhhah, I'm so lame.
I had a test today and what happened in the morning kind of set the tone for it. I didn't study last night because I felt pretty confident in the material and stuff but I still wanted to study a little in the morning. So I woke up earlier than usual and made breakfast. Before I even started to cook, I fucked up and dropped a egg on the ground. So I was pissed but cleaned it up. I made and ate my breakfast and started to make my pbj sandwhich. I fucked up again when I knocked a piece of bread off the table, peanut butter side down. I put a shit load of peanut butter and peanut butter is like fucking glue so all of it got stuck to the ground. After I cleaned that mess up, I figured that since I had two shitty things happened in the morning, shitty things were keep on happening or something really good was going to happen.
So ya, I had a test today for Jap/US relations. I've been keeping up with the readings and I've only missed one class so far so I really wasn't sweating it. I got it. I did it I was the very last one to turn it in but I did it. You (I don't know who "you" is since i'm sure that no one reads this but whatever.) ever feel really confident, like when you think that a test is going to be cake, but it all goes away within a fraction of a second, like when you get the test and curse yourself for being so full of yourself. I felt like that today. There were two essays and 10 id's. I did super well on one essay, did 7 of the id's, and wrote a quarter of the other essay. efffffffff.
So I have to wait until I get my test back to see if taking the test was a shitty thing or a good thing.

I'm trying to do my comp sci research project. Its on search engine optimization. I feel like every time (why is everytime not a word? It should be) that I use this thing it is going to because I have homework to do.
For breakfast I had portuguese sausage, eggs and rice. For lunch I had chips ahoy and milk and later I had some rice and nori. For dinner I made a sardine and onion fried rice. Soooo good.

I'm just in my bbd's, sitting on the leather recliner, about to go to sleep. I did some remodeling. I took out of the big mirror closet door and put it in the living room. I don't really know why but I think it has something to do with me not wanting to do homework.
I'm thinking that I want to vote in the presidential election. My homepage is cnn.com and I read all the front page articles. Recently, a lot of the articles have been about Sarah Palin. Of course now I have a negative bias towards her because of the articles. The reason why I didn't want to vote in the first place was because I thought that I would not be able to make a well informed judgment. Now I feel that since I've been reading all these articles on the subject that I am well informed enough to vote. But all that I have been reading are the front page articles of cnn.com. Basically whatever cnn.com puts on the front page, I believe. So ya. I don't know what to do.
I also have some thoughts on the current economic crisis. But I'm really tired so maybe next time.
