22/Male/Cingul
AT&T Wireless's acquisition by Cingular became official for me today as I actually watched my phone's display change carrier name in class. I lead a very boring life.
In other news, I have a (very) brief lull in the schoolwork extravaganza that has become the rule rather than the exception. I managed to
almost finish my Numerical Analysis homework in all its 22-page glory. Someone in class called it his thesis. Too bad the only worthwhile part of the assignment was the Bezier curves, less than a sixth of the problems assigned. *sigh* Three more weeks of classes, only three more weeks....
My friend Brinn sent me this link:
Five Reality Checks For Democrats: Dump Kofi, Moore, Dopes. It's a good read - turns out there are some reasonable liberal-minded people out there.
And, in case you haven't heard,
Gmail is offering free secure POP3 access now. Guess I will be changing my main email address... :-)
From my friend, Bubba...
[on being called out by a liberal...]
Since you are so much more nowlegeable in the world learnin' i will call you 'fore i make any decisions. i be not able to make up my own brain on world thingies. the democraters tell me i be stupid for bein' buddy buddy with bush. i really am stupid for that. me needs a leader like kerry who goes against my morals, favors man 'n man rights, wants to make checks to the gov't more biggerest, and has a PLAN for everything. it must be being a goodest plan i reckon, cause he ain't be tellin' what it be. me hopin' this amail gets back to you as i be stupid and not know electric boxes and i not use a stamp.
Sencirily,
Bubba Rose
I guess liberals cannot understand that they are asking us to choose their values over ours. Our values, by definition, require that they be held as most important in our lives.
We have chosen to embrace them. We're accused of not thinking for ourselves; most of us have carefully weighed our options and decided this is the better road. I set the same challenge to the accusers: Do you think for yourselves, or did you buy every bit of Mr. Moore's propaganda? Is your "thought" limited to complaining with your friends, to reading every anti-Bush editorial you can find, to MTV? If you are really the free thinkers you claim to be, why don't you actually
try to understand our point of view instead of blindly insulting us?
Homework: the pain of the engineering student
The difficulty I face is this: I have homework from two classes due on Tuesday that will take most of my time from now until then. Now, I suspect I won't find myself free after that, either. In fact, it may well be Christmas, excuse me, Winter Break before I find some real free time. I wish it weren't so considering the recent election and the latest liberal trend of calling all conservatives stupid. I hope to address that soon.
In the meantime, enjoy my webcam to the right. The picture is updated every 30 seconds while I'm online, but you'll have to manually refresh the page to see it (by design).
Grand Opening
My very first post! We'll see how much I have to say over the course of time, but for now I just want to see what it all looks like.
