I wouldn't even do that. Sometimes my best friend and I will just go into his basement with some ice cream and hit up On Demand haha.

Holy crap is that racist. Hah, I might have to see this, just not in theaters. I didn't see White Castle in theaters and I'm glad I didn't, at $9 per ticket for my favorite theater.

My couch is available if anyone wants to hit up the east coast! AFAIK we haven't had wildfires in NJ since 2003, but I could be wrong. Every time I drive on the back roads home from school I can see the charred remains of some of the Pine Barrens from the last brush fires...

I can only imagine how long it takes to clean up Times Square after the big New Years parties haha. All that damn confetti!

I posted this a few days ago in my blog, but I want for this to get more exposure than that. Copy/pasted from the blog. I'm not sure if any of you know of it, but if you ever get the chance, see the documentary titled, In Sickness and in Health. This film touches on a few subjects, including hate, gay marriage, and ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease). This film is about a lesbian couple from Haddenfield, NJ and their struggle with the government in getting married. They'd always been fighting for civil rights, but when one of the partners was diagnosed with ALS, they fought all the more hard. Why? ALS today is much like AIDS was thirty years ago. If you're diagnosed with it you simply go home, get your shit together, and relax until death comes (and it will, quickly). The couple, Marilyn and Dianne, wanted to get married before Marilyn passed away. It got to the point where they had to get a domestic partnership just so that Dianne could visit her in the hospital as a relative. Marilyn died a year before NJ legislature approved civil unions, but it was too late since Dianne still has nothing left of their relationship beyond the memories. The documentary was made by their neighbor, Pular Prasses, and won the Gay and Lesbian Film Festival in Philadelphia last year. Today it is spreading throughout the nation, so I encourage those of you who can see it, to make it a point to do so. I saw it last night when Dianne and Pular came to my college as the start of the documentary's college tour and held a special screening for all of those interested (it was put together by the GSA I recently joined, and even I shed blood and tears for it... blood from the chalk wearing out fast as we wrote ads all over campus on the sidewalks and walls, and tears because the film was that moving). Marilyn and Dianne were one of the seven couples from NJ who contacted Lambda Legal and sued the state for the right to marry. We now have civil unions here, but the fight will not stop until the word marriage can be applied, because anything else is second-class. Last night = Last Thursday. I have no idea how you can get a hold of a copy of the film and it is not available online, so that's why I said if you have the opportunity.

We know how to throw a party in Jersey, and we love destruction! LOL I thought about getting pictures of all of the boats and yachts that were anchored just off-shore, watching the show, but my camera would have only captured their running lights. Would have also been blurry since Poseidon seemed to be a bit angry that night... one boat looked like it was capsizing, but that was just the lights playing tricks with my eyes.

He does live in paradise.

I'm mildly surprised that Germany is as accepting as that survey suggests. I've always considered Germans to be hard-headded (look at me!), not to mention that gays were even lower than Jews during WWII. I'm not surprised that Latin America is the way it is. Yes they are very religious, but consider this: the Mexican constitution of 1917 almost bans religion from the country. Each state can limit the number of priests within it (some went to zero), a church must be approved by the government before it can be built, no mass can be held outside of church (changed in 1976 to allow the Pope John Paul II to hold a mass outside in Mexico), priests must register with the state and must be native born, marriage is a civil ceremony, etc. Yes, I actually paid attention in my Mexican History class

You haven't had a dream until your mom and batman swap cars! Haha, sometimes I miss being a 9 year old

The two videos of the fireworks show. You can hear me complaining about how little space I had. This last picture is of the bonfire that the residents' association held the day before classes started this semester, in between the two dormitory complexes and near the volleyball court (hence a couple topless people).

I think I promised this two months ago, but here they are, pictures of Atlantic City at night. This was the night of the Sands implosion, so I have a few pictures of the hotel lit up and two video's of the fireworks show that led up the implosion. I didn't get the actual implosion because my memory cards ran out of space and I totally forgot that my new phone can take video's faster than my old one. The pictures are a bit blurry because the car was moving (they were taken from Rt. 30 as we were heading to the Taj Mahal hotel/casino to park). This last picture is an advertisement for the company who owns the land that the Sands (pictured above) used to sit on. They're planning on building a $1.3 billion megaresort in the place of the Sands. The reason for the huge crowds and the extensive fireworks show is that this is the first implosion in the history of Atlantic City and South Jersey.

Congratulations! We'll see how it turns out, but I think I did rather well on a quiz today in Calculus III. Of the two problems, only one required calculation and my process followed the examples from the textbook rather well. The second was entirely a conceptual question, so who knows how that one went... it was worth only 5/20 points anyway

Good lord boy, you need to get out more! Before you know it, you'll have more posts here than all of my posts online combined! (4300ish between three forums!).

Off-topic: It's weird reading about how narrow-minded Iran is and hating it for that, while I read about Persia (Iran) in the early-to-mid 20th century and its struggles with the British over the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company and sympathizing with the country. I hate history classes... engineers shouldn't have to take them. /Off-topic.

It's gotta be the celibacy...

The only crime committed here is the loyal viewers encouraging the writings to continue writing blasphemy. They almost had it right once... I remember walking in on a few of my friends watching that garbage, when a bomb went off. The sad part of that episode was that only part of the hospital was damaged... I was hoping the entire building would crumble and kill the entire cast.

This phenomenon may have something to do with the fact that both of these shows suck the big one. Now if we were talking about oh say... Mythbusters, we'd strike gold.

Here's to that!

See my new creation on NCOD. Ha, today is one of my best friends' birthday as well. I left her a message on her cell phone.

Wow, I thought he was there already... I must be really out of touch with reality these days lol.

BARBERS GONE WILD! Sorry, I had to, lol. The trailor gave me chills, so I just might try to get away from work and see this over winter break.

If I was him, I would be embarrassed and slightly disturbed. But I guess that's what happens when you're good looking. He doesn't fit my vision of Luke. Maybe Rory.

My favorite moment of happiness? Sitting comfortably in bed, doing something entertaining (reading, watching TV, web surfing, gaming, etc.) listening to music I like, and not having anything to do for later (such as schoolwork).

You should include an "I don't care." option. I wouldn't say yes just because I wouldn't want my child to go through the bashing that still runs rampant, but I wouldn't say no just because that would feel hypocritical of my beliefs on homosexuality. I understand what you're striving for by omitting that option, but I'm not gonna answer the poll without it. I'm just gonna give my $0.02 anyway.

Good point, but since I don't know when and where they're meeting up, I technically wouldn't be standing him up. It's not so much the crowd that scares me as it is crowd + new environment. OutFest is essentially a big 'ol block party in Philly's "gayborhood", according to the website I found on it. I don't know if any of you have seen QAF, but that description gives me visions of Liberty Avenue in QAF during special gay events, and it doesn't look too appealing to me. As someone on here already said (probably in this thread too), baby steps. Maybe I'll catch him tomorrow since he class in a room right before my class.
