Subliminal Messages

David sent me this link, and I thought it would be interesting to share with all of you.

It's an illustration of the supposed subliminal messages that can be heard when Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" is played backwards. It then takes some other songs that also have messages that can be heard when played backwards. I had a hard time hearing a few of them. Enjoy!

In other news, I got a hair cut today. I like it. Highlighting next week. Living life on the edge, ooh yeah...

haha, peace.

I'm the 8th World Wonder

I'm giving myself props this time for my intense organizational and time-management skills. After lunch I went to my 1:05 where I rocked our firsl test in Computer Science. Booyah Beres! Okay, so we haven't gotten them back yet, but I know I rocked it. I got done early cuz I'm a pimp like that, so I came back to my room. I thought that since I had about 20 minutes before my 2:10 I'd call about the latest objects of my affection. The Michigan contact told me that the car sold that morning: guy walked in, test drove it, and cut a check on the spot. The Delavan guy gave me a lot of great info, and I went on my merry way to class.

I came back after class and got to work on finishing my animation program that's due in Computer Science tomorrow. It's gorgeous, for the most part. As soon as I finished that I went to the Terrace for some marvelous dinner with Blake. Before we left we made a few modifications to our birthday buddy. (photos of course).


While we ate we played some Bookwork and rocked as usual. I again went on my merry way to martial arts where I taught brilliantly and single-handedly. Everyone seemed to have learned a lot and enjoy themselves, so that covered all my goals for the class.

I came back after class to get Blake (again, what a trooper) to walk to the library with me, since I'm inept when it comes to that stuff. There I got enough resources for the rest of the semester's papers in my Motor Learning class (not only bare minimum, but thinking ahead: no more library visits). Upon returning from the library, I busted out a marvelously clear, consise, and informative paper on response times. Thrilling.

The highlight of my evening was probably playing Scrabble with Macak. Even though I lost due to the abundance of vowels that never seemed to disappear from my hand, I believe a good time was had by all. ;-D I even found time to help Freis with his Computer Science program. All I have left is a poem for Creative Writing, then I'm set!

Katie sent me this link, and I thought I would share it with all of you. Good read, kinda long, so click when u have a little time.

And certain people who have catch phrases seem to think the whole campus idolizes them now, and they asked for recognition... Sooooo, recognition then? Nah. Point for Perk.

Peace.

Raaar

So things could be better right now, but I'm dealing with it. I think I just need some time away, so I might take a "mental health weekend" sometime soon. I'm open to suggestions as far as a destination. Bear in mind I'm not driving anywhere extreme (ah hem).

On a brighter note, I've found some motivation for me to keep returning to my awful job. Not only did I confront my management about finally getting the bartending shifts I was promised (those shifts are beginning to be integrated this week), but I found myself some outside motivation: take a look. Beauty. Price is a little high, but that's where Phil comes in. He's the bully. :-D

Hope everyone else's life is happier than mine right now. And props to those of you who let me vent. Thanks a million,

Recent Schiznit

As of today I've had a week's worth of classes. I have 5: Leadership & Democracy, Computer Science, Creative Writing: Poetry, Communication in Physical Education, and Motor Learning. They're going fince I guess. But people keep asking me what my major is.
I just plain have no idea. I'm open to suggestion, but is it wrong just to take whatever classes seem interesting?

I also started official work at the Heidel House today. It was so dead in there. I took 2 tables, one was just a couple who ordered 2 drinks on the patio. And I looked at my beautiful training checklist. I loved "practice carrying a drink tray" and "practice appropriate methods of approaching a table." You'd think we have no common sense whatsoever. Um, hold the drink tray so you don't drop anything, and introduce yourself to your table and ask if they want something to drink. There, now you too can be the most desired server on the floor...

On a side note, today is Bob's birthday, so Happy Birthday Bob. May he be blessed with a large SUV...


Bartending this weekend was great. Not much else to say there, except that I've never been hit on by so many guys in 3 consecutive days... Amazing, but at the same time, very helpful for tips.

Finally, Projekt Revolution was a great time. Although the tips could have been better, we were pretty slow, and that did give us time to watch the show. Snoop did an awesome set, and The Used was good too, with the exception of the poor acoustics for their set. It got fixed though, and Linkin Park ended the night really well. I'm glad I came back for the last show. Goodbye Alpine, until next summer.
