Apparently no one cares about the election, or rather decided to enlighten me with their views. In loo of the lack of interest into my vote my decision will be kept secret! Ha! You'll never know who I voted for!!!

Speaking of knowing who people vote for, how come I never get included in those polls. You know those "55% of Americans approve of ....." polls. Excuse me, but I was never questioned. And given any two survey's in which 50% of Americans decide, I should be included in one of them. But never in my whole 19 (I'm so old) years have any from Zogby's ask me what I thought about national issues. I think its about time that nation's poll takers quit asking the same 5,000 people over and over and over again and give the rest of the nation a chance to weigh in.

Same thing with the Family Feud. They have about 5 questions per game, and 100 people surveyed each time. The show's been going on since the mid-1970s. With all those hundreds and hundreds of episodes, you'd think I'd have gotten asked once. Or even if not me, someone that I know, or even someone that someone I know knows. The chances are pretty good, but no. 100 people surveyed.. yeah right.

Does anyone see the contradiction of Mountain Dew Pitch Black? You know, the new mountain dew flavor that reeks of grape soda goodness? Well, the problem is in the title. Pitch Black. Hello!? Its *purple* not black! Its grape soda for goodness sake. Sure its a dark purple, a deep purple, but definitely not pitch black as the title so aptly says. A better name would be Mountain Dew Pitch Purple.... but that just sounds retarded.

One of the things that kind of irritates me, even though I do it too, is people that while at college, continue to wear college gear promoting their school. Like people that walk around here with a UVA t-shirt, covered by a Virginia jacket, only to be topped with a ball cap with a big V on it. Ok dude, I know you support UVA. You know why? Well besides the fact your outfit alone probably cost enough to fund the new football stadium, you go to the freakin school!! Its different if you live in Chicago and wear a Texas A&M jacket. It shows the people there were you're loyalties are. Wear a Purdue shirt while in Miami Beach, I'll go for that. But day after day to wear the name of the school you are physically at? I mean come on.

I think the person that created WordArt should be shot. I have yet to ever see it used for anything than the tacky banners that grace the flyers passed out at PTA luncheons, or business newsletters, or annoying posters around campus trying to get me to come to their next meeting. WordArt can only be effective when used one way... never. Same goes for those clip-art pictures with the black stick figure people posing in often provocative positions exclaiming with a small yellow light bulb that they have an idea. Shot.

I was walking back from dinner the other night and noticed something. The picnic tables in the middle of the field outside the dining hall are chained to the ground. That's right chained. There's nothing less than a genuine chain bolting the picnic table to the ground. I could not believe it. FIrst of all who would want to steal a picnic table? Second of all if someone could manage to lift that thing with less than 10 people I would be thoroughly impressed. Thirdly, the stupid table has a giant blue and orange "V" on it. Any idiot who by some miracle managed to take it would have a 3 by 3 foot blue and orange V picnic table to stash somewhere. I'd say chances are pretty good that thing would be spotted. Besides it's an old probably rotting wooden picnic table. The fact that it must be chained and bolted to the ground is sad.

I was thinking about something the other day. We were doing something in Discrete Math called a syllogism. Maybe you've heard of it. They go something like this:

Roses are red.
Thing that are red are pretty.
Therefore roses are pretty.

You take two true facts: a-->b and b-->c and conclude that a-->c. Sounds simple enough and makes perfect sense. Same concept as in math. If a=b and b=c then a=c. But I was thinking about something and stop me when I'm wrong.

The past leads to the present.
The present leads to the future.
Therefore the past leads to the future.

Makes sense. Follows all the rules above. And as far as I can tell the first two lines are facts. Whatever happened in the past shaped things so that they are like they are now, the present. And whatever you do now in the present shapes how the future will turn out. So therefore whatever happened in the past shapes the future. This bothers me. This means that the present has no effect on the future and that the future will go on regardless of what happens in the present since the past has already dictated it. So this means either one of two things are true: 1) There is no free will or 2) I have just disproved one of the greatest mathematical inference rules of all time. I don't know which I'd rather it be. Someone please tell me what I did wrong.

When I walk to class each day I get the uncontrollable urge to kill every squirrel in sight and gather their acorns..

Later.

Hey
Just randomly wound up on your site. I like it. You've dug up some really intense thoughts right there. I love questions that make you think like that. See ya!
