I think it's pretty widely known that I love sad bastard music. What hasn't been very widely known until now, is that Missy made me the finest collection of sad bastard music ever, and I want to praise her name for it.

"I think I hit my sad bastard peak with your tape. I can never recreate the glory. You have my one and only masterpiece, Dakota. I'm glad it's you who gets to enjoy my SB finest."

The Quoteboard has a new design, now. Actually, I think it would be more accurate to say it has a design, since it's lived its life with the default design of MT1.4 up until now. So go look, and bask in the warmth of my CSS love.

A note to all my female friends/aquaintances:
I'd appreciate it if you did everything in your power to help me to live under the illusion that women don't fart, burp, vomit, nor deficate.
The thought of regular bleeding binges doesn't phase me, but my mind refuses to reconcile the idea of a pretty girl with the idea of taking a dump.
Thank you.
(You know, it's no damn wonder that my mother is appalled by the way I talk.)

College--my seventh semester.
College has finally become interesting, but now it's frickin' hard.
When it was easy, I didn't care enough about the material to learn it (why the hell do I need to know anything about geology), and now that I give a damn about pulling the information together, it's nearly impossible to do so very well. I swear, I'm going to be stuck with a perpetual 2.5 for rest of eternity.

The new design is up, and I think this one will stay for a little while longer than the last one. (Mostly because I went through the time to redesign the whole site this time.)
The design is nifty, it validates, and conforms to usability standards (kind of), which attempt to make Jacob happy. Let me know if anything is broken.
Comments:
"Hi! Hey, I really like this design...probably cuz I get to see your sweet little face!! :) Had a nice time with Jeff last night...what a special guy! Wish you were here.."

I don't think there's anything quite so heartbreaking as knowing that you've ruined someone's day, especially if you didn't mean to.
See, you're partially right.
It's true that they add the drama and speculation to make a story--a story they can sell. However, for the most part, it's not like the television networks shop around for a factoid that they can spruce up to scare the hell out of everyone, it happens because that's the nature of the medium. Back when all there was was Dead Tree media, you would get what happens, write a story, it lands in someone's yard, and you don't have to do anything with it until tomorrow when the next issue comes out.
Then came television.
Then came Peter Jennings and Dan Rather framed by a plastic box for fifteen hours a day because it's something people want to hear. With the medium of television, you can't just get what happens and write a story for people to read, you have to fill fifteen hours. Straight.
Something has to fill that time, and when you run out of stuff to say about what really happened, you speculate about what could happen, just to fill time. I'm not saying it's a great idea, I'm just saying it happens that way.
I certainly don't think it's a conspiracy by the networks to scare people into watching more Tide commercials.

Conversely, I went to a Special Ed. math class in fourth grade. Now I know calculus! I guess I showed THEM! (It's worth noting at this point that I've received a D in every math course I've taken here at college, but nevertheless, I know calculus.)

I was listening to my caffeine mix tonight, and I remember that there were several people who wanted a copy. I've blown it off long enough. If anyone wants a copy, leave a comment, and I'll burn you one.

I've never posted on Trav's blog before, but I wanted to say that
a) He's the best boy I've ever known and
b) A(n) opossum visits our apartment every night and lingers in the stairwell. She is cute and has been named Patty.

We (my family) give my dad a lot of crap for his little personality traits. He's anal about a lot of stuff, from how things are arranged on his dresser, to how his computer files are organized. I lived with him for a summer, and his shopping list was always up-to-date and in the same place, he was obsessive about his monitor being off when you're not using it, and lights should be off if you're not in the room.
We give him a lot of crap sometimes, but the more time goes by, and the older I get, the more I realize... I'm getting to be just like him. And it's driving my roommate nuts. But now I understand why he's like that--it's just a better way to live. Structured, static, and simple.
Comments:
"Oh, son, how true....and what a sign of maturity when kids can look at their parents and not only understand, but appreciate those little "quirks." Let me tell you that there are STILL times he drives me nuts about stuff...but in 23 years, he has become a bit less anal and I've become a bit more structured...and we've BOTH become LOTS more tolerant...and that is what it is all about. Learning, accepting, tolerating, overlooking, growing, and a HUGE dose of commitment...to the marriage or whatever relationship...that even if we might not like each other at the moment, we ARE committed to each other as long as we both shall live.
We can't change the whole world...but we can start with our own little families, friends, neighborhood...and when we can make them better, pleasant places to be...the world becomes a nicer place to be. Blessings to you today...."
-Your Mom [2002-09-11 08:47:13]
"I'm like that about stuff, too. When I have to leave the room without things being put away, I'll at least stack them and organize that. It's the arranging-groceries-in-the-cart thing that everyone (mom, M, A) seems to dislike. I can't help it."
