Well, I have 6 days until I have to officially move back to college. The bright side is that I get to see a lot of friends again, I get to read the New York Times (though I could have just done that online), I'm forced to get dressed, and I get to learn stuff. Downside, well, I won't see a lot of friends until winter break, no filming, and no sitting around in my underwear which, frankly, is awesome.
On a more serious note, 20% of Pakistan is covered in water with more than 1,000 dead and many displaced. I'd like you, as my only reader, to help in recovery and humanitarian aid. You can click here and make a donation to help the people of Pakistan. I donated $150, and I'm strapped for cash. Will you match me?
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the Foo Fighters!
That's all for now,

P.S. Be sure to check out my friend's and my Youtube productions group, Unwanted Guests Productions. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll thank us for both laughing and crying.

Response Numero 1
"Anonymous said...
why does summer inspire some to spend all there time outside and yet others to stay inside shunning the light?"
Dear Anonymous,
Assuming that there is no greater existential meaning behind "shunning the light," perhaps indirectly referring to a Sartrean reality where the "light" is some sort of pure metaphysical (or corporeal) being without the hindering presence of others, I would have to say that summer inspires the aforementioned behavior because of the person's sociability. I, for example, do go outside to run, play soccer and/or baseball, and search desperately for a job (though I ended that search eons ago).
I suppose it also depend on the person's friends, as in whether or not they have anything more unique to do than just sit around in their underwear all day, while waking up at noon and playing video games. But, I digress.
Also, it's hot. It's the hottest July ever. (Expletive deleted)
I hope that sufficiently answers your query. If you (again) have any topic about which my thoughts and opinions would be greatly valued, then please, leave a comment below. I honestly have nothing better to do. Danke und auf fiderzen!

Summer Blues
So, my summer vacation is more than half done, and I have spent the majority of my time in my underwear. I call that a productive summer.
My friend and I have also succeeded in finally making our much (somewhat) anticipated foray into Youtube videos. Yay.
The world is the same as it was the day before, spinning around on its axis whilst orbiting the sun. Not much goes on. Yup.
Be sure to subscribe to our channel on Youtube. If you don't, well, let's just say that a whole lotta hurtin' biblical style is coming your way.

110 days of summer (or so)
Oh, summer. What a lazy, enjoyable time. I suppose that it's about time that I started paying attention to politics again since I don't want to let my mind languish and puppies.
In all seriousness, tensions between North and South Korea have never been this high since the end of the Korean War. The South has just cut off all trade with the North, which is approximately one-third of all of its trade. The North's largest trading partner is China, and the United States is looking to China to support trade sanctions against the North, effectively backing the North into a corner. These actions are being taken because a recent investigation showed that a North Korean torpedo sank a South Korean ship in late March. Some believe that a war is likely, though this is improbable; the United States has approximately 29,000 troops along the North-South border, and if the South is attacked by the North, the United States has long held the South's defense as an obligation. Essentially, a war would be suicide for the North.
So, what will happen? No one knows. Don't listen to any pundits, because they don't know any more than any other random person does. North Korea has always been a mystery since they sequestered themselves all those years ago, and their motives are not always clear. We will just have to wait and see, though what is likely to happen if China approves of sanctions is (if Kim Jong Il is rational) that North Korea will bargain and/or negotiate with the greater world. If not, well...it doesn't look good.
Aside from the serious matters, my movie pick of the week is Black Dynamite. It is a parody of the blaxploitation films of the 1970s and is a very well done parody. You should realize that the entire film is a satire and that none of it should be taken very seriously. Actually, don't take it seriously at all.
