well, i found another guy and watched him die, it wasnt exciting at all. it just said "your time has expired." oh well.

audrey is right, the guy already died, which led me to discover the little ticking clock is a farce. if you notice, the clock ticks about 3 times as fast as a normal clock - 3 of its seconds equal one of ours. this means the clock runs out a considerable amount earlier than when you actually die. so if you go by that clock, you can actually relax a little bit and take your time in doing the last things you have to do. but dont worry, i already emailed the guy about it.

last year, joe wallace dressed up as a pedophile for halloween. plaid flannel shirt, trucker hat, aviators, and a painted on fumanchu.
this year, joe wallace dressed up as michael jackson dressed as peter pan. black pants and coat, white glove, green hat and little dagger sword.
for some reason, joe wallace obviously has a fascination with child molesters. the scariest part of this is, he has substituted at an elementary school on several occasions.

with regards to the death clock linked below, noah and i found a guy who is gonna die tonight at midnight and we're gonna watch to see what happens when he dies. if you are a nerd like us and are interested in doing the same, here are his stats:
14
June
1972
male
sadistic
40
smoker
type that in at 11:59 and you're all set.

when you go to a small christian school and have nothing to do, you get excited about these things. it will definitely be the highlight of my week. besides sleeping every night.

this is pretty interesting. apparently im going to die on Tuesday, April 17, 2057. hmpf.

I hate (and God hates?) that Christ and Christianity are becoming (and have become):
A means for popularity
Fashionable
Formulaic
Trite
Feelings without thought
Thought without feelings
A philosophical discussion
Comfortable
Irreverent
Modern
Self-serving
An easy rhyme in a poorly written song
A best selling marketing ploy
Cliché
A routine and habit
Lacking God-given creativity
Lip service
Graceless
Love without judgement
Judgement without love
Misunderstood
Heartless
Near-sighted
A performance
Unbalanced
….the list goes on

(theological side note: by saying "christ is becoming" these things, i mean what christians are turning christ into, not that he is actually becoming these things, cuz if he were, that would pretty much make me an atheist. duh.)

honestly. this semester would be stress-free, enjoyable, and almost relaxing if i didnt have this stupid math class. and its not cuz of the work load, cuz lets be honest, i dont do any of the work. and its not because im getting bad grades, cuz lets be honest, all in all, im doing ok. its just that each day i dread going into that classroom and listen to the prof who enjoys making us feel stupid, doesnt care if we get it or not, doesnt care if we are frustrated or stressed out, and sit in the classroom with a bunch of math majors who dont need to take notes and understand all thats going on, and laugh at the stupid jokes the prof makes, and make even stupider jokes to accompany them, and i dread not being sure if i understand something or not, getting behind, trying to figure it out on my own, getting help from people that dont actually know what they're talking about but they think they do, spending all day thursday completing one lousy homework assignment and so on and so on and so on. i really do enjoy all my other classes...but this math class is sucking the life out of me.

but its really not as serious as im making it sound. but i do hate it.

tonight i skipped homework and went to beatniks coffee shop in marion with yoder and had the best cup of chai tea i have ever had in my life.

its a rotten feeling when you realize you dont really know a friend anymore and you cant really change it.

i just read a book from 1992. pretty recent book, right? thats what you'd think. but it's ELEVEN YEARS OLD! dang man...time flies.
furthermore, ee cummings is the bomb diggidy, hence, i posted one of his poems i just read.
