more diary

more stuff pulled out of my diary from my earlier years......





January 21



math class...... man, i tell ya - what a bummer. they guy behind me farted right in the middle of an explanation of of an algebra question. everybody in the class turned and looked straight at me. i couldn't help but laugh, because it was a really juicy fart.



sometimes the things i say in front of the other guys are really dumb. but like that famous philosopher W.A. Yankovic says : "dare to be stupid".





January 22



boy, did i get mad today. during english, "DAVE THOMAS" hit me in the back of the head. i got fed up with him always hitting me in the head whenever i tried to get anything from under my desk, so i just bashed him in the side of the head.



then after that class, during lunch, "MARK HIGGINS" kept flicking my ears and squeezing my juice box. he also punched me in the stomach. so i left the table where i was sitting, and hit him in the back of the head. then he chased out of the cafetorium and into the office.





January 23



well... another boring day. i'm not writing this today, but i am writing it tomorrow. actually, it is the day after the 23rd. i got home late last night.



the reason i was late was because i went to a snow party over at "TIM MEADOVALE"'s house, with the youth group.



i took my brand new white coat off while i was horsing around, and it got run over by a snowmobile. luckily nothing happened to it.



January 24



you know what really bugs me? it's that my new favourite show is already doing re-runs. it's only been on the air for two months, (8 shows). i mean, like, the character isn't even that good. it's not hard to act like a kid or say something really dumb - i do it every day. i think i'll write a letter to the creators of the show, and tell them how peeved i am.





January 26



i feel pretty awful about today. sam was trying to get a bag of potato chips ($0.48) from me. he got me down on the ground, did the camel clutch***, and started to pinch and punch me.



so i got mad and punched him in the head once, and a couple of times in his side. (5:30 PM). then about 11:00 PM he started to throw up.



mom blamed it on me and made me stay with him for about an hour.





January 27



once upon a time, far far away, there was a princess that they were not allowed to look at when she walked through the town.



but one guy looked at her and they got married, had children, and lived happily after ever.



for a while.

logorrhea

as i have said in the last few posts, i have been all over the country with work, and haven't had much time to myself, or much time to dedicate to this blog, which is rather unfortunate, in my opinion. (although yours my be quite the opposite).

one of the things that i love about my job, is that i get paid to learn. i also get paid to see some of the best presenters and performers from around the planet.

i have been compiling a list of things that have caught my eye/ear over the last few months. some of them are inspirational quotes, and other are quite the reverse, ie. silly things that people have said. other bits are just interesting words or phrases. in any case - here they are for your enjoyment. (or lack of)......


_________________________________________________________________________

GOOD QUOTES

"when the fire dies down, the predators come in"

"i want to be the person my dog thinks i am"

"be kind to the idiot, because in someone else's eyes, YOU are the idiot"

"don't measure your life by the number of breaths you TAKE, but by the moments that take your breath AWAY."


_________________________________________________________________________

BAD QUOTES

"what's that little box sitting on the mouse pad?" - (asked in reference to a mouse)

"do any of you read the internet?"

"growing like and absolute train"

"my mouse hand is stupid today"

"if you get a chance, see if you can spend some time with dick"

"some of the kids were REALLY poor. many of them had never even seen a TV screen larger than 19 inches"

_________________________________________________________________________

WORDS and PHRASES

"emotional firewall"

Kaizen

biometrics


this next word came to mind when i was thinking about the ambiguity of a word that a presenter used one day, and all of the different definitions of that word.

the word set has more definitions than any other word in the english language, and because of this is really fascinating to me.


here are the runners-up :

RUN - 396
GO - 368
TAKE - 343
STAND - 334
GET - 289
TURN - 288
PUT - 268
FALL - 264
STRIKE - 250

and this link is what you get when you type the word "set" directly into the address bar in firefox.

that's about it for stuff that stuck with me over the last couple of months.


any of you guys have any good quotes or words you want to share with the other 2 or 3 readers on this blog?????










and simply because i need to spread the infection........



yes. i know.

verbs before nouns

so today while doing some reading, i came across the phrase "verbs before nouns", (it was actually the title of a song), and it got me to wondering why the word "noun" is actually a noun, but the word "verb" is not a verb, but is in fact also a noun. my mind then started to wander a bit more and i began pondering over the accuracy of the statement. if there was a verb in the sentence, and it followed the word verb, it would make the sentence factually incorrect, kind of like as if i was to say "i am a liar, and therefore i always lie". this is a classic philosophical paradox. if i am always a liar, then by TELLING you that i am always a liar, means that i am telling you the truth, and therefore i am not always a liar, making the accuracy of the statement come into question. but at the same time, i could also be lying by telling you that i always lie, when in fact i am telling you truth, which would mean i am NOT telling you the truth, which would make the statement a lie. kind of circular, no? does any of this make sense? i am starting to think that i may have just confused myself........... anyway, if you want to check out more philosophical paradoxes, you can find them here.
