islefan029: nice comments
dressed tokill21: yea.. i thought id add some spice
dressed tokill21: but you know im kidding about that
islefan029: i just responded with something thats serious, for once
islefan029: yeha didnt bother me, its good that you are keeping it light cuzs i just made it serious
dressed tokill21: im usually sick of being intellectual in class to add anything significant
dressed tokill21: but im reading it and you both make well rounded points
islefan029: well thats the bitch of it...we are probably both right and wrong at the same time
dressed tokill21: thats politics
dressed tokill21: if everyone was right all the time.. we would live in a utopia
dressed tokill21: and we know how those work out.. now well
dressed tokill21: 1985? brave new world? not gonna happen
islefan029: 85 was a good year
dressed tokill21: quite so
dressed tokill21: but the book depicts another portrait of years gonna asunder
islefan029: yeah. inacuratley.
dressed tokill21: its fiction.. written in the 1940's
islefan029: thats right
islefan029: its fiction
dressed tokill21: but its a picture of a utopia
dressed tokill21: and in all of these so called fiction books, the utopias end in disaster
islefan029: thats why they are fictions
islefan029: fiction=not true
dressed tokill21: but do you believe one would work?
islefan029: haha if you think about that question, its impossible to answer
dressed tokill21: well then
dressed tokill21: start thinking.. and get back to me in a billion years
islefan029: if it was ACTUALLY utopian, which could never happen, then by definition it would work
islefan029: but there is no such thing as a utopia becasue people interpret things differently
dressed tokill21: ahh..
dressed tokill21: my point exactly
islefan029: how can vegeterians and carnivores share a utopian resteraunt?
dressed tokill21: hence.. the dilemma you and wes are having
islefan029: right
islefan029: i think that our curent administration is doing as good a job as it can. NO president in our history has faced as much adversity as bush
islefan029: a war, attacks on america, natural disasters...
islefan029: you name it, its happened in his presidencty
dressed tokill21: lincolns was probably more tumultious than his
islefan029: fuck lincoln. he got what he deserved
dressed tokill21: keeping the union together.. americans fighting each other.. ending slavery
islefan029: he did not end slavery
dressed tokill21: yes.. but he tried to.. atleast he starting the wells on it
islefan029: man dont make me lecture you like you arent the history major.
islefan029: in the civil war, we were split into two countries
islefan029: can anyone tell me what they were?
islefan029: the union, and the what?
dressed tokill21: confederate states of america
islefan029: the confederacy, very good mr charleston
islefan029: now, lets take this a but farther
islefan029: bit*
dressed tokill21: suuure
islefan029: confederates rocked the south
islefan029: union rocked out in the north
islefan029: no
dressed tokill21: the union lost 3 men to 1 confederate man
islefan029: not my point
islefan029: bear with me
dressed tokill21: ok
islefan029: the president of the union was old abe
dressed tokill21: yes
islefan029: and the president of the confederate states was jefferson davis
dressed tokill21: yes.. well technically, if you really consider it another country
islefan029: thats my point
dressed tokill21: ?
islefan029: it was, at the time, another country. abe freed the slaves in a country that did not belong to him. if he was not the president of the confederate states of america, which he CLEARLY was not at the time, he had absokutley no authority over their policies.
dressed tokill21: ok but listen up dummy head
islefan029: nope
islefan029: im done
islefan029: class is over. i will not entertain questions
dressed tokill21: the war was ended.. lee gave up his army to grant
dressed tokill21: a week later.. lincoln was dead
dressed tokill21: two weeks after that.. the 13th amendment ended slavery
dressed tokill21: to technically.. he did free the slaves in america
dressed tokill21: there MY lesson is over
islefan029: emancipation proclomation was in january 1863. the war did not end until 1865
dressed tokill21: guess what
dressed tokill21: the emancipation proclamtion didnt end slavery
dressed tokill21: it wasnt supposed to
dressed tokill21: it was just a proclamation that he wanted to, read it again
dressed tokill21: he had intentions of freeing the slaves AFTER the union was back in tact
dressed tokill21: which congress did two weeks after his death
islefan029: i get that the 13th ammendment wasnt ratified until the end of 65, but that being said, the procolmation of amnesty and reconstruction was december 1863, and that was one of the biggest steps twoard the abolishment of slavery.
dressed tokill21: towards it.. but it didnt abolish it
islefan029: yeah but come on man...it wasnt OFFICIAL until 65 but the steos were being taken
dressed tokill21: steos?
islefan029: why am i so historical and political in arguments with friends the past few days? jesus
islefan029: steps, assface
dressed tokill21: listen.. ill say this, quoting lincoln "if i can free all the slaves to save the union I would, If I could free none of the slaves to save the union I would"
dressed tokill21: his main priority was the union, slavery second.. but the steps were taken, though that major considering people hated him on both sides
islefan029: how does that make sense
dressed tokill21: if the gallop polls were back then, he would have a lower rating then bush right now
islefan029: yeah...
dressed tokill21: im done
islefan029: so...i win
dressed tokill21: that what
dressed tokill21: bush has the hardest time as president?
islefan029: i didnt say that
islefan029: i said he faced the most adversity
dressed tokill21: you dont think FDR did?
dressed tokill21: depression, restoring the ecomony, attack on america, war
islefan029: fuck FDR.
dressed tokill21: all with mother fucking polio
islefan029: we are having a recession now too
islefan029: and look at oil prices
dressed tokill21: yea. but thats not a depression ass
islefan029: yeahm cuz bush did a better job with the economy than roosevelt
dressed tokill21: no he did not.. fdr helped us get outta hte depressoin with his new deal plan and along with the war, it stilmulated the economy
dressed tokill21: this war is not doing that right now
islefan029: this war isnt about the economy, its about the fucking absolute uselessness of NATO
dressed tokill21: ill agree that its useless
dressed tokill21: as is the UN
islefan029: yeah
islefan029: and opec
dressed tokill21: the only one that works is the EU
dressed tokill21: and thats barely making headway
islefan029: not even
dressed tokill21: NAFTA is a shame
islefan029: so is nasa
dressed tokill21: yea.. ill agree on that
islefan029: so in conclusion
islefan029: abbreviations suck
dressed tokill21: more like acconyms
islefan029: whats an acconym?
islefan029: shouldnt there be an 'r' in there somewhere?
dressed tokill21: yea probably
islefan029: so did i win this argument yet?
dressed tokill21: no body wins in politics
dressed tokill21: even if they are the majority winner in votes
dressed tokill21: theres also another side to look at
islefan029: well the majority winner can lose elections
dressed tokill21: politics is fickle and will always be
dressed tokill21: no shit
islefan029: thank you electoral college
islefan029: THAT is stupid
islefan029: thats the biggest farce in politics
islefan029: that popular vote is useless
dressed tokill21: yea..
dressed tokill21: well then we would have a semi dictatorship.. a parliment if you will
islefan029: the person who gets the most votes should be the winner. that DEFINES democracy
dressed tokill21: ok.. ill get into that another time
dressed tokill21: I gotta do work

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 00:49:26 GMT

and i just read some of my friends entries, and i feel bad for porman. and i have posted more in the past hour than all of last year.

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 00:30:38 GMT

Tue, 04 Jan 2005 01:08:35 GMT

well...

friday was new years eve. i didnt enjoy it as much as i should have, mostly cuz i was disgustingly sick (no, not from drinking). I left pauls house like shortly before 1, came home, and vomited for the next 8 hours, along with other lovely things including severe dehydration, hyperventilationg, numbness to my extremities, and other things im not going to get into here. They made me go to the hospital where they hooked me up to IVs and all sorts of awesome stuff and now im getting better, and i can almost eat solid foods. thats pretty nice since my diet of gatorade, chicken broth, and jello was starting to get really boring. yeah thats it. not enough energy to talk more right now

Sun, 28 Nov 2004 17:57:00 GMT

normally i do these things and then forget abuot them and never put them in my LJ, but this was far too awesome to ignore, since i LOVE rene magritte


rene magritte is love

27 combatants enter the town of brick, all with one goal: the 900 dollar jackpot.

Only one man can attain that goal.

That man was me. 900 cash, personalized trophy, and forever immortalized on the wall.

congratulations to me, the bricktown champion.

man i love my past, and i have had so much fun my whole life..like especially the past lets say 5 years. BUT when i think about my high school years and things like that i cant help but be filled with so many regrets. i think sometimes that the things i wish i did overshadow the things that i did do. there are so many things that when i think about i would have done differently..the girl i would have gone after, the test i would have studied for, the kid i wouldnt have made fun of, maybe the kid i should have made fun of more. im not really going to get into specifics. but the thing that i dont like is that i dont know how to ensure that this sort of thing doesnt happen anymore. people always say live for the moment if you are trying to pursue happiness. but i have always tried to do that and i think that might be one of my biggest regrets sometimes. i just do what feels right at the time and i dont take into consideration the possible repercussions. but sometimes, im TOO cautious. thats been true sometimes in particular with girls..i take things too slow and i lose my opportunities. there are actually two that stand out in my mind and i think abuot fairly often..how i wish i had pursued things differntly back in high school. wait scratch that...THREE. so its like when i live for the moment i regret it. and when i dont live for the moment, i regret that too. and it gets to the point that the more i think about life the less i know what to do with it. For being a kid who tries to have all the answers to everything, i wish i could answer my own stuff. The scary thing is that if i had it to do over again i dont know what i would do. they say hindsight is 20/20 but retrospectively all i know is that im not happy with things. i dont know how i would even correct them if i had the opportunity. and i dont see any of these tendancies changing because like i said neither way seems to work..live for the moment and its not good, and try to be cautious and it doesnt work either sorry if this didnt make sense. p.s. i love michelle.

Fri, 12 Nov 2004 23:07:35 GMT

this looked like too much fun to not do. im gonna do some from my friends list and some non-LJ folks.

1. Choose 15 people from your friends list at random.
2. Write something about/to each of them.
3. Don't tell anyone who the statements are about. Good or bad. No matter how they beg!

1) I think that you are pretty damn cool and if you would grow up a bit you would be amazing

2) The only reason that i talk to you at all is because of our mutual friends..i REALLY dont like you

3) Im really upset that i didnt hook up with you when i had the chance

4) You are one of the most important people in my life and nothing that happened with us ever changed that

5) I think that you are so gifted and if you would just use PROPERLY that you could be so famous

6) oh my lord you piss me off so much and if you werent one of my really good friends and favorite people, id probably kill you

7) I miss the old you. 11th grade and earlier. you changed, and not for the better

8) You are the typical east brunswick girl. cute and spoiled and sweet on the surface but a bitch underneath. i wish that i could just never talk to you again, but unfortunatly thats not an option for me

9) Your brilliance and potential is overshadowed only by your lack of motivation direction

10) you have no idea how much i miss talking to you

11) You are a two-faced asshole and if you got hit by a truck and died it wouldnt be enough

12) you pretty much have everything going for you. if i could be anyone else, it just might be you

13) Talk to me in a few years. often.

14) You are such a tease, which makes you fun to hang out with and talk to, but only for so long before it gets tiring, repetitious, and frustrating.

15) You need to understand that if you do something to someone, its gonna come back to you..dont fight it. its called karma. dont be a dick if you cant take it.

LAURA CANCIO IS AWESOME.
I'M GOING TO MARRY HER.

ps- john don't get mad.

Mon, 01 Nov 2004 02:28:28 GMT

holy shit man
this weekend was amazing.
Friday at around 6:25, don picked me up in the hummer. To me, the hummer is like a good omen, cuz i love that beast. so we get down to monmouth at around 7:15, even though wes is working until 10. we hung out with JD who is an awesome kid, playing some video games and drinking some chilling beers. Then wes got back, brought us some taco bell, we hung out, had some more beers, and played some more games. Then we went to the radio station, and wes put us on air where we talked about stuff and they gave me free tickets to alexisonfire.we went back to wes's room following his show, and thats when things went crazy.
Wes wanted to see the smoke bomb in action. so he takes one, lights it, and throws it down the hall of his dorm. They wont let me go out into the hall to look, but i look out the peephole and i didnt see anthing amiss. so i go back and sit down and next thing i know the fire alarm is going off with this voice over a loudspeaker telling us to immediatly evacuate the building. I grab a hoodie of wes's since its cold outside, put my hands in the pockets, and what do i find? another smoke bobs. so i run back, and throw it in wes's underwear drawer. then we al stood outside amidst people freaking out that there was a real fire and they saw the smoke, and all their stuff was going to burn. mind you this was at 3 in the morning. so eventually they let us in, we hang out for a little while, then pass out..me on their stolen couch, and don on the floor, wes and JD in their respective beds. o yeah we played cards that night too tho i dont remember when
Saturday: We awoke at around 10:30. rolled on over to dunkin donuts, and picked up breakfast. got back to the room at like 1130. started drinking. blasting terible music, and hnaving singalongs. you could hear the nsync, journey, etc...whatever we could find, from like the enterance to the dorm. it was great. so we got blasted in the room, then went tailgating. awesome. there was a big fight, and we got burgers, and empinadas, and i met a lot of awesome kids since wes is friends with everyone. had more beers, ran into bauer, riccio, wheringer. drank some more, went back to the room with jd since we couldnt find wes. hung out, drank some more, got some pizzas..then somehow all of us passed out at the exact same time together..me, wes, don, erin, and jd. we slept from like 530 till like 830. bauer stopped by, and we had this crazy pizza box fight..me, wes, JD, bauer going nuts. all hell broke loose. wes started punching people (like JD) in the balls. then don hit wes. wes his don, jd, hit wes, wes hit jd, i sat in the corner and watched. played some more cards, some more video games, and drank some more. im forgetting a lot because of all of the drinking. then we all went to eventually, and don and i came back sunday morning. the end.

elaboration on a xanga from a year ago.

Wed, 20 Oct 2004 03:44:48 GMT

October is among us, which means its time for my annual rant on one of my largest pet peeves: Halloween. (ill just copy/paste most of it from last years rant.)

Halloween is probably my least favorite 'holiday', if not my least favorite day of the year. It is so hypocritical and illogical, and is NOTHING but a corporate attempt to make money and decay teeth. I realize that almost all of our celebrated days in America are corporate rather than an actual celebration of anything. But at least they have a basis that people realize and understand, if not appreciate. like most people don’t even realize that Halloween is a pagan celebration paying respect to the dead. well I have got news for almost all of you...YOU ARE NOT PAGAN!

I’m a Jewish kid. I don’t celebrate Christmas, I don’t celebrate Easter, and I don’t celebrate Ramadan or Kwanzaa. why? because they are NOT my damn holidays!. people use Halloween as an excuse to what..get candy? get dressed up? I can wear a stupid costume and eat a bag of smartees on July 18th as easily as October 31st. an excuse to party? please. parties happen all of the time. so why, I wonder, is there such a freaking love affair with this supposed holiday, or day of celebration? I mean I was talking last night to a very good friend of mine who is an extremely observant Christian, belonging to Christian groups. and his freaking group, YFC (youth for Christ) is having an event tonight in which costumes are optional. now I’m all for having fun, but does no one realize what they are celebrating? Be logical, and think realistically, please. ask yourself why you, (if indeed you do) celebrate Halloween. if you have an actual answer, by all means enlighten me. I’m truly interested in knowing.

I dont want to hear, in these comments "Its just for fun" because there is nothing fun about it that cant be done at any other time. Perhaps the only justification that i see is that halloween is society accepting and embracing people acting like idiots which, to be fair, can be fun. But who out of us really cares about societal norms? I, for one, do not. And i am going to prove this by picking a random day of the year, most likley sometime in February or March, to dress up like a moron, and go to random peoples houses in the early eveningtime, hold out a bag, and demand candy, or offer the alternative of a penalty of an egging of their car. I wonder how many people will be receptive to giving me candy, when i ask on a DIFFERENT random night....Let me know if you want to join my expiriment....Maybe ill makea shitty michael moore style documentary about it

Mon, 09 Aug 2004 21:45:52 GMT

larissa ( the girl with in the pic in the entry before this) is in the hospital. everyone should go visit her and give her tons of ballons and movies and stuff. anyway..yeterday was warped tour which was awesome and aside from that ive just ben hanging out a lot with EB kids and some select milltown kids and having a good time...all sorts of stuff is going on that i cant talk abuot right now but in due time all sorts of clarity will come and ill be able to tell people about all sorts of stuff..i know thats vague but i dont wanna give bits and pieces of a story that isnt finished yet. ive been eating a lot of sushi latley, i LOVE that shit. plus there is a sushi place right by larissas hospital so i can visit laris and get sush and kill 2 birds with one proverbial stone. aight thats all, ill talk to eveyone later

Mon, 05 Jul 2004 20:24:49 GMT

piiiimp haaaat

Sun, 27 Jun 2004 22:35:54 GMT

ok so people have been bugging me to update so ill do a small one. i got a job...so i work a lot during the week..ok cool.

this weekend was fun..saturday me porman leilani and petesaw death vally ralley or milwakee and honor or day by day or whatever they are calling themselves today..they were really good, wes playing bass and singing is better than wes on sax i think and johnny was good as usual and the kid whose name i dont know from dingus was good an harto was good even tho he doesnt like me..yea basically they were all good, actually.
then after i drove everyone home and then i went to party and i drank till i couldnt see. frank and i played drunk basketball at like 130 AM in the pitch black..it was pretty awful by both of us. first we had a free throw contest and then we played one on one and then i tried for like 10 minutes to hit my baseline jumper and i couldnt even come close...we will just blame it on the darkness and stumblyness. then everyone passed out eventually and then we woke up at like maybe like 930 am and went straight to the beach...chilled at the beach for a looooong time, and now its 630 and im home and eating a wawa sub. it was pretty awesome weekend, id have to say...mostly cuz it was with pretty awesome people.
