Free will to do what or be what? To determine your own salvation? Calvin vs Arminius? Obviously there is free will to pick up a stick or free will to cross the street, but so what. Theologians have argued this for centuries and no one has pulled ahead in the debate. Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.

East (1) Washington Capitals vs. (8) New York Rangers (2) Philadelphia Flyers vs. (7) Buffalo Sabres (3) Boston Bruins vs. (6) Montreal Canadiens (4) Pittsburgh Penguins vs. (5) Tampa Bay Lightning West (1) Vancouver Canucks vs. (8) Chicago Blackhawks (2) San Jose Sharks vs. (7) Los Angeles Kings (3) Detroit Red Wings vs. (6) Phoenix Cayotes (4) Anaheim Ducks vs. (5) Nashville Predators My picks are First round East: Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, Tampa Bay West: Vancouver, Los Angeles, Detroit, Anaheim In an unprecedented move, because the LA Kings and Anaheim Ducks beat their opening round opponents so soundly, they were separated so the two best teams in the NHL didn't meet in the conference. In the second round, the now Eastern conference Ducks beat Boston so badly in the first three games many of the Bruin players were seen crying and they refused to take the ice for game 4. East: Washington, Anaheim West: Los Angeles, Detroit In the Eastern conference finals the Washington Capitals tried to default because they knew the Ducks were too good, but the NHL made them play anyway, but after three games there weren't enough Capitals left to play East: Anaheim West: Los Angeles Champ = In the finals, the Kings and Ducks split the first six games. After game 7 lasted four days with no one able to win. The NHL declared the Ducks and Kings both champs and wondered why they didn't just do that way back in early April.

Tim is right that there are all kinds of looks. Malibu High is much more laid back than Beverly Hills High, the Brentwood School and places like that, but you do have the people who dress preppy, if preppy means wearing any thing by Abercrombie. You can be grubby and grungy in Abercromie because they made t-shirts that are like supposed to be grungy. There are also the guys who wear Faconnable because there is a lot of money at the school even if a lot of the big bucks kids go other places, but it isn't like the school is massively prep, but they are there. What is interesting is if you go 20 minutes away to a place like Inglewood, it is a whole different world.

My ride is a 5'10 Machado from Channel Islands....... PS: be careful on your slang. "ride" has a whole different meaning in coastal CA.

Pep is pretty conservative because it is a church school, but they don't have football and unless a high school kid was tight was a guy in college or his best friends brother was in college, I don't see them mixing much. For sure no USC or UCLA player is going to mix with high school kids. Maybe the small smart schools like Oxy, Mudd and those, but those are far away.

Will would never shop at PacSun, that is for wanna be Barneys. Will would get his clothes at Jay's Zuma, Becker, Malibu Surf Shack and other local surf shops up and down the coast wherever he and Brad happened to be surfing. No self respecting local would ever go to a fake mall surf shop. He might buy his boxers at Gap or Banana Republic in the Cross Creek Center or Nordstrom or even Costco in Westlake Village, his Levi's at Levi's in Cross Creek, but that would be about it.

My God you are evil.

All the main guys in the CAP series and HMS Belve-whatever are all old now..... Brad, Robbie, Stef, JP, Cody, George Granger, etc.

Since it is only 2000, I am SEVEN and in 2nd grade!

Ummm HELLO!! He is 6 years OLDER than ME!!

Casey from the Perks of Loving You. Seth from Desert Dropping. Taylor from The Ordinary Us. Owen from The Long Way. Will from Millennium.

I got my white Christmas. Hope everyone else gets Christmas wishes. Merry Christmas to all.

I am kind of with Tet. Maybe I'll feel different in ten years and I'll want a ceremony and a piece of paper to says something to the community, but I don't think I need it to be committed to someone. Benefits? Even if they don't bring back marriage for gays in CA, it isn't that different from a benefit standpoint to be in a civil union and all the major companies here give partner benefits so it really isn't a big deal.

J-man, you so need a new hobby like 10 of the last 12 posts are all you talking to yourself..

OMG! Dumbo!

Wow, you're old! Sendin' ya blue pills for your birthday :D Hope it is happy! :D Love, tommy

Don't you think a lot of the characters in the CAP series are just stupid? I mean how many times does it take someone catching you with a guy's pee pee in your mouth or butt before you lock the door? I get it could happen once, but a lot of these guys it happens over and over to. Half the time it seems to be the boyfriend who does the catching. Are they really rude too as well as stupid cuz I was always taught to knock when a door is closed and wait until you are invited in to open it. I mean, I'm just sayin'

I love Christmas time and the music is one of the things I love the best. I don't mean Frosty the Snowman or Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and certainly not Grandma Got Runover by a Reindeer, but the traditional carols, Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful and all the ones they sing in England & Germany (Austria) that we don't sing here. I'm not sure what my favorite one is, I guess it changes depending on my mood, but right now I just love O Come All Ye Faithful and love it in Latin too.

freaking A, we beat mater dei like they were 8th grade girls. is there no justice in life?

Of course I would because that would be my first clue that he was trying too hard to be macho and what he really wants is something stuffed in his tailpipe I would not date a smoker though.

I found Daniel Radcliffe's hairy Harry kinda cute and I am not usually someone who likes a lot of body hair (since all my friends and I shave), but based on the photos I've seen from Equus, our first date would so be a shaving party in the tub.

School starts right after Labor Day and finals start in mid-June. I know guys who went to SBCC and were able to stay in the same dorms as UCSB guys because two guys I knew were roommates and one each was going to the two schools, but I don't know if the dorms were official UCSB dorms or private dorms. I know also guys from HI who play polo and I know they start school in August and get out in late May. I think CA has schools open the latest, not including year round schools which are a very bad idea to start with.
