My Knee is Convulsing

Hmmm.

Whatever next?

Israel needs to stop this nonsense and be the bigger man. While it is easy to condemn Palestine for its continued support and use of terrorism, I believe that, if I were in their situation, I would reciprocate in kind. People across America wonder what compels teenagers to strap bombs to themselves and murder innocents. It is quite simple really: Israel, without resorting to terrorism, has robbed an entire nation of its future. The Palestinian infrastructure is in shambles. What little they have left is being annexed by Sharon and his goons.

Building a wall will allow Israel to conveniently ignore the problem it has created. While the Palestinian terrorism campaign is morally inexcusable, one cannot deny that Israel has a responsibility to these people. Palestine has nothing; at the very least, Israel should learn to coexist and provide them with some semblance of a nation.

DISASTER LURKS AROUND THE CORNER!

Well, global warming is for real.

DEATH!

Naturally, Bush is involved. Kerry had better win.

Thank You Pablo

I highly recommend this. Safely the coolest, most intriguingly purposeless web game I have ever experienced.

I'm currently saddled with midterms, so I shouldn't even be writing this.

Drunk Update #327

Let's enjoy ourselves, kids. There's no time for pretension; we have no business creating imaginary worlds of commitment and tradition. Get out there, grab your substance of choice and start dancing. I don't want to hear about marriages and careers. Those are incidentals, baggage you pick up on the way to your own private nirvana. I can't advise you to not lose sight of the goal. For all I know, there may be nothing at the end of this road.

I like to think, however, that we will all emerge somewhere better if we just stay focused and remain on the path. Robert Frost spoke of the road less traveled; believe me, there's no time to stop and think we have to prune the roses decorating the path. Forget everything your guidance counselor told you and start running.

Try not to fall.

I am clearly drunk.

I think we all need a pimp cup. Tell me what you think.

To the Posse: I definitely need to see "Ice Grillz: The True Story of Players with Bling-Bling".

Bloody GM

T-Mac needs out of Orlando.

Peter Gabriel is obviously insane. He should have bought out Grant Hill ages ago, and his latest attempt to save the franchise consists of trading for a young player who occupies the same position as McGrady. Stevenson may be young and talented, but adding a shooting guard will do nothing to ameliorate Orlando's situation. T-Mac can definitely play small forward, but he's getting to an age where he needs a contending team, and the Magic are not providing that. Poor kid.

Maybe Stevenson will develop into a sweet-shooting carbon copy of McGrady. Maybe the Magic will take the number one pick in the lottery next year, grabbing Dwight Howard and developing into an unstoppable ball-playing machine. I doubt it, however. It's a serious gamble, and Gabriel is not the one to pull it off. Fire the man and save the franchise.

High All The Time

Get a job, you fucking hippie.

One day, I want to be rich and cranky enough to sling that comment at some indigent college student. Also, check out "Life Like Weeds", by Modest Mouse. The guitar work is... interesting. We'll leave it at that.

It pays to be rich. Mull that one over.

I am starting a new religion, out of convenience. When things go well, we will applaud ourselves for our good judgment and skill. When things go badly, however, we can blame God. Why do this? Quite frankly, I do not like being accountable for my own failures; blaming them on some sinister outside force takes care of this quite neatly. The God-fearing among us can reverse the effect, thereby blaming manking for everything that goes wrong; this will serve to make this new religion more appealing to Catholics.

I am a scientist

I was just given back my political science paper, evaluating Cleon's leadership abilities in the context of the Peloponnesian War. For some reason, Monoson decided to give me a 93, proving her to be a complete imbecile. I personally can not write an essay to save my life; you can probably tell that by reading through my updates. As if the odds were not against me to begin with, I actually started the paper the night before it was due, spent three hours playing foosball, took a trip to the local bar and then proceeded to try and finish it the next morning while hungover.

I was never actually able to finish. Pressed for time, I cobbled together a conclusion after restructuring the whole paper to try and make it fit within the eight-page framework. In spite of my efforts, the essay came out to only seven pages, and I was forced to run to class and deliver my work at the last possible minute.

And I got an A. Why am I complaining?

I am a model

Well, it's nice to know I have good taste.

Physical Seek Report

Link-Mania!

Those crazy Harvard kids will never cease to amaze. Of course, given that stalking and sexual harassment are already huge issues in campuses across America, the idea of a magazine featuring nude pictures of campus co-eds does not come across as sound.

The New York Pants

Word has it the Knicks have just traded for Nazr Mohammed and Tim Thomas, giving up Doleac and Van Horn. Isiah is a shrewd, cunning bastard. He is well aware of the two major obstacles facing the Knicks: age and too many fat contracts. The two new acquisitions are young, athletic, and full of potential. I personally do not expect much from Thomas, but he should prove a capable, cheap replacement for Van Horn, whose style was too similar to Houston's anyway.

Mohammed, on the other hand, has some serious potential. He is young and desperate for playing time. Perusing his stats on Yahoo! Sports, it seems like he pulls in 10+ rebounds in most games where he is given more than 20 minutes. Given Dikembe's age and Kurt Thomas' lack of height, I think he should be given some serious consideration for the starting spot.

A New Era

I feel like we are about to embark on a fantastic journey.
