I spent the evening shopping with my married friends, let me tell you it seems like the life. The dual incomes must make things real sweet, especially now for them since they are both working pretty friggin awesome entry level jobs. (Supply Chain and Loans Officer). I actually saw what shopping is supposed to be about. They weren't even hitting clothing stores it was more like they were trying to hit the major furniture stores for a sectional that they won't have to finance and in the mean time they would randomly check out clothing stores and pick up a sweater...maybe some boots. With the dual income you have to think sky's the limit, of course if steve gets accepted to law school at yale or harvard next year it will probably be a little different, which christine can attest to I'm sure. but combined with the consistent booty, married life doesn't look bad.
I have a plan for a math curriculum. It is aligned basically by proofs, theorems and proofs and shit sort of the way college math books are, except kids will realize the need for all of the theorems and definitions based on their own mathematical explorations, and on their applications of ideas in real contexts. So, for a chunk of a unit, the definition of an equation is significant because it has two variables versus one unknown. A kid could realize this when they have a set of numbers that vary and they need to create a function that would come out creating a whole set of tables of one thing, the reason for this could be...an analysis of how much money they would make in their school store if they bought and sold one box of sour patch watermelons versus two boxes versus 3 boxes, versus four boxes. eventually they will think that an equation will help them do this, and then once they get the function then they would have to step away from the whole school store for a second and very specifically approach the concept of the equation and how it differs from the one variable problems they were doing, and how it could be broadened to the idea of function or other things. Then armed with this new knowledge they can get back to work on their school store stuff and apply this new information.
Apparently I have enough credit to get a mortgage, actually like 70-100K condo in detroit for like 750 or something. Odds are I could get a house or some shit and then rent it out to cover this and tho add some equity to this. But I probably won't live in detroit. The only district I would want to try would be detroit, and maybe pontiac, maybe not, and the suburbs, well, yeah. So it looks like I am going to be in boston, or chicago, or california (in that order).
Hopefully this shit in Sumatra will make all the crazy people in the world realize that human life is more valuable than the U.S. and their position in the world.
Why did baggy pants have to go out of style? I swear these low rise jeans for men are threatening my fertility. So is watching Salma Hayek hooking up with some old guy dressed up as trotsky in this movie my parents are watching currently.
being a little less forthright about myself may be a good thing. I have always been used to wearing my heart on a sleeve, being completely honest to everyone at all times, having no concern or regard about myself. However as I grow older I think it is better that I not tell people the brutal truth about all the stuff I do. For example, I could say that I am hungover, versus saying that I just puked in the bank lobby ficus, or saying that I am going to use the bathroom instead of saying that I need to take a dump. This probably becomes more important with stoies about sex and health and universities. But I don't want to sit there and have all of my ideas stuck in my head holding me down instead of out of my brain leaving room for cooler ideas.

...and who will provide the most aid...? yeah. US, the US... if weren't at the acme of the world, would there be another benevolent power to provide that aid? would, for instance, the nazis? or the japanese? the communists? say the islamofascists were in charge... would they be providing aid? nah.... not if the needy weren't muslim.
power is not a curse. it is a responsibility worthy of our stature.
the japanese donated $500 million, but that's not the point. I heard that the islamo-fascites who were operating in that region decided that they were going to calm down their operations. I was kind of hoping that the other ones around the world would follow their lead but I think the death toll in iraq continues to rise. However the coverage and the drama over iraq, and over the U.S. leading the world by holding that fledgling democracy is now mostly replaced by the discussion of the U.S. leading the world in other ways. Hopefully reacting to the sumatra shit will serve to broaden the U.S.'s definition of themselves in the world as more than just smacking down terrorists and setting up foreign wal mart factories.
...it is impossible for a death toll to do anything but rise...
heh
...yes it can't fall, but I guess I was hoping it would stay still for a while...The real question is are you feeling the pull down comments?
