There is a certain level of stupidity that drives me nuts. Its not the "I got drunk and threw toliet paper all over the hall." its not the "I slept with 23 different females and can't understand why I feel abandoned and have burning problems when I urinate." its the "I'm an educated college student who prides his/herself on thinking critically about things I've been taught and things I hear in the media, but midlessly accept things that they are told are truth but would be stupid to doubt." I was in class called "Creative Pluralism and sense of Place" long name good class....anyways we are discussing a reading regarding Australian Aboriginal creation and territory things called songlines and one of the girls in the class spoke up and said that since she was a science major the idea of something being sung into existence was beyond her. So several members of the class spoke up and talked aobut various physics conecpts that tried to get the point of the stories across but she was jsut not getting it and somewher along the line the topic of western scientific ideals being that Science is wonderful because it never says that it is right....it always says that its not at the truth but hopefully its a little bit closer to the truth than it was a little while ago. And that it is always in search of the universal truth but that its not there yet. Well in the next five minutes the topic of evolution came up and they (being the other 3 science majors...all Zoology go figure) all started complaining aobut how lubbock was backward because they didn't believe in Evolution and how something like 90% of the US population doesn't believe in it either and tlaking aobut how it was science and how could it be wrong. I mean we are tlaking in a 5 minute span showing true science and psuedoscience. They gave no data the people that spoke up against it being true were labeled "idiots" The hypocrisy of the whole situation was appalling...and I'm just giving you the first of their contradictions. The one that hurt me more than the evolution disscussion was that not ten minutes before we got to that point the professor had asked how many considered themselves practicing Christians. 90% of the class raised their hands....including all three of the Science majors. There are people who I know this blog is going to hack off.....and I'm okay with that. And before someone says...."Well why didn't you speak up and defend your religion and you God?" I answer very simply....there wasn't enough time....I would have had 5 minutes to explain what is about a 20 minute refute to their arguements.....they left themselves wide open I would have only had to finish them off but I didn't have the time....and it really pissed me off because I KNOW MY MATERIAL. I can argue with anybody that picks a fight and win....I can argue with my professors I can argue with grad students I can argue with visiting lecturers and I shut them up because they can not refute what I tell them and they can not logically answer my questions and they refuse to debate any more......but for all my ability I need time to do so. I'm pissed because I didn't have enough time and I had to sit there and listen to arguements that hurt because of their ignorance.....one of the girls said it best.....she claimed that ignorance is bliss...and I thought to myself, but you blindly assume that your professor is telling you the absolute truth...even though there are plenty of professors who are willing to lie to you about everything else.....or that they had professors that told them the truth.....Why is it that you will question every single point that your pastor puts forward on Sunday about God speaking the world into existence...but you won't question what your professor says about slime "designing" the complex enzymes that allow you to eat sugars and fats and proteins to stay alive.

On the subject of the earlier post, just read through it and note what stands out most then go to Romans 8:31 "What can we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?" If that is not the coolest ever......I'll eat my shoe. Coming to you without the taste of leather in my mouth - Ferris
1 ..... I love you, LORD; you are my strength. 2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the strength of my salvation, and my stronghold. 3 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy of praise, for he saves me from my enemies. 4 The ropes of death surrounded me; the floods of destruction swept over me. 5 The grave wrapped its ropes around me; death itself stared me in the face. 6 But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached his ears. 7 Then the earth quaked and trembled; the foundations of the mountains shook; they quaked because of his anger. 8 Smoke poured from his nostrils; fierce flames leaped from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. 9 He opened the heavens and came down; dark storm clouds were beneath his feet. 10 Mounted on a mighty angel, he flew, soaring on the wings of the wind. 11 He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. 12 The brilliance of his presence broke through the clouds, raining down hail and burning coals. 13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the Most High gave a mighty shout. 14 He shot his arrows and scattered his enemies; his lightning flashed, and they were greatly confused. 15 Then at your command, O LORD, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. 16 He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters. 17 He delivered me from my powerful enemies, from those who hated me and were too strong for me. 18 They attacked me at a moment when I was weakest, but the LORD upheld me. 19 He led me to a place of safety; he rescued me because he delights in me.
20 The LORD rewarded me for doing right; he compensated me because of my innocence. 21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not turned from my God to follow evil. 22 For all his laws are constantly before me; I have never abandoned his principles. 23 I am blameless before God; I have kept myself from sin. 24 The LORD rewarded me for doing right, because of the innocence of my hands in his sight. 25 To the faithful you show yourself faithful; to those with integrity you show integrity. 26 To the pure you show yourself pure, but to the wicked you show yourself hostile. 27 You rescue those who are humble, but you humiliate the proud. 28 LORD, you have brought light to my life; my God, you light up my darkness.
29 In your strength I can crush an army; with my God I can scale any wall. 30 As for God, his way is perfect. All the LORD's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 31 For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? 32 God arms me with strength; he has made my way safe. 33 He makes me as surefooted as a deer, leading me safely along the mountain heights. 34 He prepares me for battle; he strengthens me to draw a bow of bronze. 35 You have given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand supports me; your gentleness has made me great. 36 You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping. 37 I chased my enemies and caught them; I did not stop until they were conquered. 38 I struck them down so they could not get up; they fell beneath my feet. 39 You have armed me with strength for the battle; you have subdued my enemies under my feet. 40 You made them turn and run; I have destroyed all who hated me. 41 They called for help, but no one came to rescue them. They cried to the LORD, but he refused to answer them. 42 I ground them as fine as dust carried by the wind. I swept them into the gutter like dirt. 43 You gave me victory over my accusers. You appointed me as the ruler over nations; people I don't even know now serve me. 44 As soon as they hear of me, they submit; foreigners cringe before me. 45 They all lose their courage and come trembling from their strongholds. 46 The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! May the God of my salvation be exalted! 47 He is the God who pays back those who harm me; he subdues the nations under me 48 and rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe beyond the reach of my enemies; you save me from violent opponents. 49 For this, O LORD, I will praise you among the nations; I will sing joyfully to your name. 50 You give great victories to your king; you show unfailing love to your anointed, to David and all his descendants forever. Psalm 18:1-50 NLT
:) Well its another week. My friend Adam had no problem with me locking him out due to the fortuitous coincidence that he got to spend the night on a couch in a girls room 8) . So Aside form that I got 2 new knives instead of a sword because nothing really stood out when I went to the store. I also played a very fun session of DnD last night. Many things happened, much of it was hilarious. Well for now I have to run to class then come back and do a lab report for my lab this afternoon. If I get a second later on today I'll try and give a better blog than this, but for now this will ahve to do. Coming to you from the week of 9-29-03 - Ferris
:oops: I was an asshole last night. I got pissed off at my best friend yesterday afternoon for a really stupid reason. And after I ignored some other friends who were speaking on his behalf I left my room locked it and went to play some Halo(kill some things) work somethings out of my system. Well I got back after 10 and unlocked the door since he still wasn't in the room went to bed and left the door unlocked since he doesn't have a key since he is just crashing on my floor until he gets a job and a room of his own. Well I forgot two things. One Adam doesn't think of anything going on until later at night and two he wasn't neccessarily down the hall inside this building. In fact he was across the road at an on campus dorm. Which means come 10:00pm he was locked out of this building. And then since I crawled almost immeadiately into bed and put my phone on silence and turned my computer speakers off his phone call at 10:36 was completely unrecieved by a sound asleep me until about 7:00 this morning. So in just being pissed off at him for a trivial thing I ineffect locked him out of his bed all night. I am an asshole. All affrimations can be directed to the comment box to the right of this column. Dude, I'm sorry. :(
You know I sometimes wish I could just turn my brain off. I mean tonight was awesome there was a whole lot to be proud of, I got to hang out with my friends....including my very cute little sis Robin, and I got to talk to a friend of mine who has only spoken english since august(shes surprisingly well spoken). BUt for some reason or another I still keep drifting back to the same sort of stupid questions that always get me down and depressed. Like where is the girl that I'll marry? I mean I'm 20 years old and I've never kissed a girl, never had a girlfriend, dated on once but she turned me down hard (thats another story another day). I guess I feel my biological clock ticking at 20...yeah lame huh? Anyways, that sort of thing, things like wondering if people around me only tolerate me because I force them too, to quote the insane guy from Fight Club do I "get in everyone's hostile little faces"? Are the people around me smiling because they think I'm sad and pathetic excuse for a person or is there any shred of genuine respect or even appreciation for me being around. Does it really bother people that I don't feel like I've greeted them until I've either shaken their hand or hugged them? Do people take me the wrong way? Is my arthritis going to be around forever? Will I ever be able to practice guitar with my fingers? Willl I suddenly have a horrible relapse and never move again? Could I handle it if it did happen? Will the chemo suddenly start having side effect and make me go bald? What will I do if that happens? I look really stupid bald. What owuld happen if the girl I'm supposed to marry see's me when I'm bald and fat because I can no longer exercise and my skin is patchy and flaky again because of the psoriasis? Is there anyone out there for me at all? These are the things that creep into my head when I am tired and since that is currently how I seem to be all the time it is slowly becoming very common for me to be depressed. Hopefully the weekend will be fairly relaxing and quiet and I'll be able to kick back and sleep some more. God! I am but a simple man....these are my cares, my worries, my personal crosses that I carry for no other reason than bizarre personal obsession. Like scripture says I cast all of my cares upon you Lord. Give me a peace that passes all understanding and a rest like no one can know without you. Give me a heart for the things that really matter, friends who don't know you, justice, the poor, the orphaned and the widows. Make me more and more like you each day. Hold me in the palm of your hand and keep me safe. Thank you Lord Jesus for blessing me so much, for loving me enough to die a painful humiliating death for me and for opening the way back to fellowship with my Creator. In your precious name I pray. Amen. From a small room in a nondescript town in a boisterous state in an interesting country on an intersting planet orbiting a boring star in a boring galaxy in a gorgeous mind bogglingly huge universe, but cared for in everything that I am by the Creator of all of it - Ferris :)
:) Allright I get up this morning at my usual time. 5:02. :shock: And crawl slowly out of my bed, get up, check my email, put on my running clothes and head downstairs. I get outside and start the first 12 blocks of my out and back course. I get down to the gas station on 19th and W where I'm supposed to turn around and come back I realized that I felt pretty good and thought.."Why the heck not go an extra few blocks...that way when I turn around I can get an extra half mile or so.." So I keep going and I look down the long flat road all the way to Avenue Q where there is a big working stoplight at this time of the morning, and it hits me that I really want to run all the way to Q up to Broadway and then back to University to the UP building. So I did. Randomnly! After trying to make myself go a little bit further for about 4 weeks I suddenly ran an extra two-thirds of a mile just because I felt like it at that time....and now whats even better is that I can do it again and again until I feel ready to kick it up a notch again. Woo Hoo! Watch out Boston Marathon I am back on track I'll see you come Spring 2005 :twisted: . So after this extremly enjoyable run and the euphoric feeling I get after finishing a good run I clean up and head to class where my professor once again disscusses things that I already know down to minute details that I already know and since its my only class today I come back and on the way run into some friends in Memorial Circle talk with them for a bit chat with a friend for a bit and then head back to my room again. Where much to my enjoyment I find that my Kazaa has finally connected right and had finished two anime series I had been waiting for. Now I have 6 episodes of Escaflowne and 3 of Read or Die. And to top it all off I have no commitments until 7 o'clock tonight. So I have a whole day to myself, with no responsiblities and no homework due. Ya know what? I think I'm gonna take a nice long morning nap. Yeah.......that sounds real nice :D SO I'll finish off this lame and mundane explanation of my mornings and go crawl into my bed. Coming to you from the mundane side of the really great day scale - Ferris....p.s. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!
:shock: The first Biochemistry test! The first chance to prove myself worthy of one of my majors. It should be a sinch, but my professor while a really nice guy has shown himself on all his previous exams to be a sneaky rat-fink. So me being the incredibly intelligent, foresightful and disciplined person that I am....didn't buy the textbook :roll: Whoops! When I went looking for it Friday I was told that the two bookstores I checked at had no copies but that there was one at their fourth street store. Well once again back to the disciplined and foresightful and intelligent me I got busy saturday and forgot to go and get one. SO here I am one hour before my first test of the year and the only thing I have to study with is a couple of pages copied out of a friends textbook over the stuff I really didn't know. Now in a couple of days I can tell you whether or not since I feel extremely prepared for this test if I am just bullshitting myself at this point or if for some reason the wierd luck that I have changed from parting the traffic on University so that I can cross interrupted to changing the test questions to those that I can understand and complete perfectly. Anyways I'm gonna read over some of my notes one last time and then spend the rest of the time relaxing and letting myself psych up for the test....that and finding my "test taking Yoda" statue to give me moral support during the test "Do or Do Not there is no Try". Coming to you from somehwere in the middle of calm and collected and calm due to reasons of self induced insanity - Ferris :? :)
:D Well I lied yesterday and I apologize....I got all of my hopes up for a great blog yesterday evening and I didn't even finish enough to avoid getting up early to do homework before class. Oh well what is going on is that this has been a particularly nice morning so far. I woke up feeling very groggy, spent about an 30 minutes finishing my thermodynamics and then went and ran the stairs from 1 through 7th floors three times with a short break for water after the second set and my legs are screaming for mercy, poor legs. Anyways I feel very ready for my first Biochemistry test and I'm looking forward to a moderately peaceful afternoon as far as work goes so this morning is incredibly relaxed and laid back. Even if I still am 15 minutes behind schedule on my morning routine. I guess what he says in Isaiah 40 is true...."They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint." I've always heard it as he gives strength to the weary and somethingsomething to the faint. Anyways I feel very rested and unweary today. So coming to you from the top and bottom of the stairs - Ferris :)
:D So whenever I talk on aim to a girl around my age or younger I usually say goodbye with a nickname, little one, cutie, babe. No I'm not sexist I don't call all women this all the time its just a friendly way to say goodbye. Also its only to girls that I know won't take it the wrong way. So anyways I'm talking to my friend Erin a couple of nights ago and I sign of saying "goodnight little one" And she goes and puts this in her AIM profile "FalconTch: allright gnight little one! (so I know most of you won't appreciate this, but **** is the only person who's EVER called me little. Of course I'm excited about it!)" So this is nice and I noticed it this morning while getting ready for class. Funny part is that although its nice ot be recognized for being nice there was an extra degree of irrational happiness because someone mentioned me in their profile, not wierd to other people maybe but this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned me in their profile. Its kinda like getting a prize for being you....I like it! :D Well this blog is apparently pretty boring today, but tonight I should have a spectacular one due to the sheer amount of stuff I have to do in the next 8-9 hours. Wish me luck! Coming to you live from Texas and from SmileyDog18E's profile - Ferris.....p.s. I deleted my real name from Erins profile box...the four *'s just put Ferris in there :D
:) Well I haven't added to my blog since yesterday....I feel like such a slacker. I've started a new campaign in DnD with my friends at some apartments near here. I went and saw Underworld...which is now a must see for anyone who has ever watched Vapire Hunter D or played werewolf the RPG. Anywhoo church was good this morning even when I showed up 15 minutes late because I needed gas for my car. Once again I missed the sermon because I spent the time distracted by a really cool story about a new warrior angel that is on assignment to Daniel and has to fight the demonic prince of Babylon for several weeks before the Archangel Michael shows up to help him out...check it out its in Daniel...uhhh....Daniel.....Daniel 10. So after a nice meal at a mexican cafe I took a nice 2 hour nap and now I'm sitting here without much to do.....I should be studying for my tuesday test in Biochem, but since no one in town has the book I'm kinda SOL(shit outta luck) on that. Oh well they should get on in tommorrow and then I'll spend the rest of the night studying. I should do fine I'm not to worried about it actually. ALthough if my parents are reading this (I'm jsut telling them this to psyche out my classmates..yeah thats it...I'm really worried and am studying for the next 10 hours) So there since I gave you all a blog I can go back to thinking of something to do constructive and not feel guilty. Have another great day! Coming from the bored side of nothing to do - Ferris
:D Well I was tlaking to my good friend Robinnotbatman, and the subject of the Texas Tech vs. UNC football game today came up. I related that I don't ahve much school spirit, because I feel that the sports program at Texas Tech diminishes the value of my education because they spend so much of MY money on these silly sporting events, and someone inevitabley tells me that they bring in tons of money and I always agree, But all that money goes right back into the program not into the college funds or anything else. Anywhoo I said that I would cheer for Tech and especially cheer for Tech if we were playing another Texas team such as aTm or UT, because although I may not have a lot of school spirit I have plenty of anti-other school spirit. So UT and A&M can go to you know where anytime they play Texas Tech, but for the rest of the time STOP WASTING MY MONEY and start using it to hire better professors and buy better equipment and make my education worth something. From the middle of the school spirit fence - Ferris
:) Allright so my friend downloads a game boy advance emulator and a few games and he breaks out the Pokemon rom and its a translated japaneese version and it makes little to no sense. If the sentence it makes is even understandable it's like a talking 3 year old. Got drug. "thank your for chatting with me". Its quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen all day. Anyways it's a lazy friday afternoon and I'm done with classes. My schedule rocks! Coming to you from the boring side of the ocean - Ferris :)
:D OKay so I get online jsut before I go to class today and who pops up but the really good friend of mine from aobut 3 years ago whom I've only seen once since then and only tlaked to online like 3 times since then. So I give my normal heads up, cause she's usually online, but rarely can answer my messages so I say good mornign and a smiley and sure enough She's there! So I spend the last few minutes I ahve before I have to leave for class catching up with her and find out that aside from slightly different stressors, life is much the same as it always has been. But just being able to find that out made my entire day better. God blessed me today by giving me a chance to chat for jsut a little bit with her. Every time something like this happens it feels like a little taste of what heaven will be like. The feeling of getting to spend an eternity tlaking and catching up on all the stuff that happened over our lives, plus the added benefit of getting to tlak with the person who created you thats always nice to do :wink: Coming from the boring side of the great adventure - Ferris p.s. (God Bless You Keri always the best to hear from you!)
Okay so after that theory of my own creation I give you the latest goofy theory I have heard and a systematic destruction of it piecewise! MUAHAHAHA!!! Okay so I am told that Kentucky Fried Chicken herein after KFC had genetically engineered a breed of chickes that have no beaks, no feathers and no legs(feet). I was told that this was a cost savings venture to ease and speed up processing. Okay first problem KFC doesn't have its own chicken farms it has contracted farms that breed their chickens to the KFC standards and then process them to the right degree before shipping them to the KFC food processing units where they are breaded and sent to the individual stores. Second problem, the technology to genetically engineer an animal without such essentials such as feet, a beak or fethers is almost completely beyond the range of modern technology right now. Approximately 3-4 months ago an article in NAture Science Journal described the first successful genetic engineering of a chicken without feathers. Feathers are the simplest its only 2-3 hundred genes to turn off carfully and in the right configuration to get no feathers, but to turn off the feet? a major section of the body plan without removing desireable pieces such as wings and breats and legs and thighs at the same time? Beaks are an outgrowth from a very specific section of the skull they're removal could cause drastic implications for the shape of a chickens head its breathing and its ability to see. Finally aside from the feathers the "improvements" to ease processing of chickens are not all the great of an improvements. The removal of a chickens head at the beginning of processing is as simple as a conveyor with a strategically placed V-shaped razor....the bodies go one way the heads go the other. As for feet what are you going to do with a whole bunch of chickens that can't even walk? You couldn't move large quantities of them, putting them on the truck would involve moving each on individually and feeding them would mean constant attention to where the food and water bowls were from the time the chicks hatched until final processing. And without beaks they would almost certainly have to be tube fed a slurry of the nutrients that they need the cost of production of the slurry would also be needed to be covered. And finally since KFC is now a part of a multiconglomerate of huge companies the technology that created these pseudochickens would not be kept a secret for KFC to produce chickens to process it would be patented and the rights sold for multibillions of dollars to produce dogs without annoying tails or cows without gristle or horses that can run faster or catfish that grow to twice theri normal size or to produce a completely new breed of animal thats perfect for herding in the Sahara. The initial observation of this is that a plot by a giant food corporation to produce great cost savings is believable until you look at the deeper implications of what the technology needed to achieve those effects would be and then the inital suggestion is made ridiculous. Once again from the opposite side of the sanity fence - Ferris :D
Okay so here's the latest conspiracy theory I've come up with. Politicians greatest enemy and greatest friend is the truth. The truth that is the enemy is that which they do not have control over. So engineering type people ar ehte most likely to see truth and disseminate it to everyone, so through a bit of weak logic we can say that politicians greatest enemy are engineering type minds. So being it that most college and university boards of directors and presidents are politicians the engineering students are their greatest threat both during college and after college. So its in the best interest of politicians and the board of directors to do everything they can to make the engineering students miserable and keep as many people as possible out of the mindset that is taught and inborn to engineering people. So the politicians and board of directors have made secret contracts with the book publishing companies to hit the students and future engineers where it really hurts....their wallets. There is a conspiray to raise the prices of science and engineering textbooks to almost absurd prices to discourage people from taking those classes due to the sheer cost of materials. Are these books made of special paper or written exceptionally well are they forced to pay royalties or patent costs? NO. So why do these books sometimes cost close to 200 dollars? There is no logical explanation that these books should cost so much. I think that all engineering students should band together and build large Trebuchets that can hurl buicks several miles and set them up outside of book puclishing companies headquarters and threaten to destroy all their corporate art pieces until the agree to lower the prices of engineering textbooks to reasonable levels. Your advocate on the other side of the sanity line -Ferris :D
:? What is this!? An E-team meeting that took less than 3 hours? Impossible! We can't get anything done in that amount of time! We'll PTL! We DID! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Finishing something quickert than expected feels really good :-D
Apparently t-Blogs servers internal clocks are off. because apparently while I'm GMT -6 I'm almost 7 hours off unless instead of using Greenwich Mean Time they might be using Mountain Standard Time....grr I bet thats it.... :x....I hate making a fool of myself complaining about things that don't matter or have already been fixed.....
As a very wise man said once..."Nothing ruins plans to take over the world like staying up all night playing video games where you try to take over the world" www.ashfieldonline.com or keenspot.com Professor Ashfield. Anywho I have a headache from playing an hour of Dungeon Siege and I find it increasingly unfair that the bad guys with flamethrowers regularly kill my players instead of simply knowking them out like normal. Durn those evil goblins. They mus be important cause the little guys with the flamethrowers are even in the opening intro of the game company...maybe their jerkholes through the entire game and thats why they earned a spot in the introduction. OH well its a lazy Thursday evening...except for a leadership meeting for Intervarsity I got nothing. I guess that I am meandering once again so I'll let you all go. If I think of anything else I'll start filling people in. Maybe I should give some comments on religion and politics...that way people will either love or hate me. Although its kinda wierd to just type it out...maybe I should give a exhaustive History of Matt. yeah that'll do I'll explain myself to you all and then I'll start dispensing R&P. :D
:D Which of these two things is odder? One the fact that a girl in my Honors Seminar is actually talking friendly to me. Or the fact that she is a Zoology major, but her parents are both lawyers? Can you imagine the level of confusion at that dinner table? One speaks science and the others speak law. If I married into that family it'd get really wierd...I mean, an Engineer hanging out with lawyers!? That sounds like a sitcom idea...like Kenny the Engineer and Thomas Reingold the Third. One is always trying to improve their apartment by adding automated beer retrieval systems to their fridge and the other is trying to entertain international clients. "Hey TOM check this out!" "What are you doing with my dresser!? Oh God I have company in ten minutes and you've turned my dresser into a cannon!" "Well actually I turned it into and automated clothes folder and daily wear preparer..." "Why didnt you use your own dresser!?" "Well when I installed it on mine it screamed about lack of clothing combinations and pulled itself apart..." Hmmm maybe I should dig up the phone number for the local UPN station.... :D
So I'm on chemoterapy for my arthritis right? It works by slowing down the cycle of cell reproduction. So if all the cells in my body are dividing and replacing each other more slowly, does this mean i'm going to live longer? I mean if they don't divide, the telomeres don't degrade and the DNA stays whole and has fewer erros and you don't age right? Or is it possible that the methotrexate is jsut adding so many sideeffects like on my liver and kidneys that whatever benefits I gain from slower cell division will be negated by early renal or hepatic failure? Neither of which really appeals to me..... Oh well time to go eat and go to classes. :)
:evil: Allright so I make an excutive decision and decide to move off campus. ONe of the deciding factors is that the UP is getting broadband internet access the semester I show up "comprable" to that in the dorm. First off they spend the better part of three weeks with no access because they a group of electricians install their system. Now that is fixed, but they've blocked all the ports except for email and messenger. So now I can not download virus updates, I can not download anime to watch on the weekends, I can not connect to any of my friends ftp servers, I can not play games on the internet, I can do nothing, but message and access a specific group of websites, its up in the air whether or not I will even be able to do my homework for my class online. If this blog were not rated G there would be about three pages of explicatives right here. Therefore the UP administration is going to each get 5,000 dollars from me, but when they arrive to take it it will be 5 dollars or maybe 5 cents....I f***ing hate being lied to. :evil:
Yeah so I decided to have a blog.....nifty idea I guess, but I never know how much of what comes out of my head would be worth reading and some of it is just downright not suitable for publishing without an R rating. So good luck to anyone who reads this. you may be frieghtened you may be amazed, heck you may even like it. -Ferris :)
