This will predominantly include PG-13 material but all in all I will try to keep it relatively clean and within reason. Expect potentially embarrassing pictures as well as recaps of the day or even philosophical musings.

| I Strongly Dislike Street Bikers
Since its probably illegal to run over bikers who bike in the road I have a better solution. Lets create a movement that utilizes bumper stickers to get our point across.
 Me rocking out to Thriller until I see the asshole.  This is what the back of every car should look like. | | |
| my guide to how to make new friends
There
are obviously a lot of different ways to make friends. But what I offer
you here is an alternative way to meet and hopefully make new friends.
That being said I'm not saying you should actually try these methods I suggest, rather I'm saying consider. But it all really comes down to just common sense.
1). The awesome fish tactic.
This is a sureshot way to make friends in college. We all need friends in college, what better way to do it over a fish? You're going to have to go to a supermarket or fishstore to get a fish though. And that can be a trouble if you go somewhere without such establishments. (Examples of schools lacking such establishments: Bowdoin, Deep Springs, Carleton, Oberlin, Middlebury - you know the shitty liberal arts ones in the middle of nowhere). But in some places - such as Bowdoin College - which convieniently is situated on the coast of Maine (still in the middle of nowhere mind you), you can actually catch the fish. In fact that is what you do there, you learn how to catch your own meal. That's basically what you do all day. That and freeze in the ocean.
 Gorton's fishermen: Bowdoin College's other official mascot since 1849. I don't think he ever graduated.
You'll also need a bowl, preferably one that can hold water and is big enough to put your fist in. You might also want some tape. Make sure you have water handy too. Not necessarily spring water because you probably won't want to drink fishy water afterwards. Now, should the fish not fit into the bowl, or goblet or whatever you choose, do not despair, I have included directions of how to make it fit.
The picture suggests you roll from head first. Shortly afterwards I decided that it would probably be easily to roll tail first. But then again if you roll it head first all the yummy brains and vitreous humor will come out. No, its not humor as in the haha humor. It's a scientific term.
Artist's rendition of a fish roll, literally. Sorry, I just had to draw the watermellon.
Now all you have to do is try to force the fish into the cup, goblet or whatever vessel you choose. Is that a perfect gift to a total stranger or what? Just imagine being gifted a fish in a cup. And when you're finished with the fish you can keep the cup!

| Vanity Fair
(no this isn't a book review of the novel Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray)
Here I am at the nearing last turn in this battered blue book (figurately, of course). And here I am while I bask in the twilight of our prime ready, yet unsure. How can I be unsure at a time like this, where everything I do should be painfully assertive? Here we stand the last time all together and up ahead we can see the crossroads ahead. But yet I still waver and cannot pick the path. What is it that makes us want something so bad that we can use it to rip apart friendships that we have long been builiding? Is it genuine lust, or is it unconvincing desire? And finally we stand together one last time, strolling the vanity fair and fonding looking to the future, as if it has all been decided in this Narcissus's moment. Then I look back the traveled path and I ask if it will truly be any different?

| hello old friend...our refined moment draws near.
Sometimes it is the hardest moments that gain the softest moments in your mind. Sometimes we need to cut ties with all the lies we've been living in. Perhaps it is just my pessimistic view on life but has it not been true up to this point in your life that there always exists a single role that is never truly vacated. And this role is none other than the Queen of Spades, omen of bad fortune and famine. What is a good leader? Is it someone who stops at nothing in order to get their way? Is it someone who cannot understand that nothing ever changes at all in another day? Can this good leader catch you if you fall? We may never know what exactly a good leader is, a Great leader even. But we know that a leader understands that something is always wrong when something goes wrong. Yet it is what course of actions is selected that elevates a leader to a coveted legendary status, albeit romantic. But what do we ultimately want? I feel so blind to what you're saying
There is a void left in me that will never be filled. What does manipulation mean? We're all familiar with the word, but can we recognize it in practice? To say it in nice tones we can call it conflict management, but conflict management by itself cannot be considered people manipulation. That being said it is so easily to be sucked into a hole and it is never uncommon to completely reverse stances after being subject.
We don't want someone who cannot face up to mistakes made in the past, no matter how grave. Worst of all is when dire consequences are dodged outright. However this is never the intended outcome. Rational people don't look for revenge first, they look for responsibility. The plebians, the yeoman, the laymen simply cannot accept a leader who searches for backdoors and never accepts responsibility. To deny responsibility is a claim to be perfect. But a flawed leader is infinitely more acceptable than a flawless leader. I walk back down the stairs, descend back into free-fall. I am free.
