The Brick Testament

Oh my gosh, this is like the best reading of the bible i've seen in a good minute. Please, just take a moment and flip through it, it's a quick read. LoL, its illustrated. Shout out to Pahi/Lasu for the link.

P.S.> I did well on that test... ;-)

Gimme Five on the black hand side...
cocacolafreak: tell me ur day now
Brendth: k
Brendth: well, i had my calc test today
Brendth: after panicking for the first 13mins of it, cus i didn't know what i was doing
Brendth: i started whizzing though it
Brendth: through*
Brendth: God is good
Brendth: so i actually finished
Brendth: i finished just as he said... TIME
Brendth: which was fine
Brendth: said... i don't want to see any writing unless ur writing ur name on the top
Brendth: now he was not more than two seats away from me looking at me as he said this
Brendth: and he comes over to see what i'm doing cus he thought i was still working on it, but he saw i was writing my name, then he goes away
Brendth: so i finish writing my name on the sheets
Brendth: finish fanagling the staple back through all of them
Brendth: hand back a friend's folder cus she let me copy something that i wound up having to use on the test (thank the Lord for that) and then i go and turn my test in
Brendth: i happen to be the last person
Brendth: as i turn it in he writes on the top "Late -5"
Brendth: >:o
Brendth: i'm like... "i'm sorry, why are you marking my test late?"
Brendth: he's like, cus you took too long to bring it up... everyone else brought there's up, and i don't want to give anyone any unfair time to work on the test
Brendth: >:o
Brendth: i'm like... "sir, i was putting my name on the test, restapling it -- cus you told us you wanted them restapled -- and i gave a friend back her notebook on the way then i turned it in"
Brendth: i can't help it that i am the last one after all that
Brendth: if i knew you would mark points off i would have handed it in sooner
Brendth: i didn't think i needed to push people out the way to get it in on time
Brendth: so, he's like... "i don't know that you weren't working on it"
Brendth: i'm like "exactly"
Brendth: he's like, "i'm not going to talk about this, please go sit down"
Brendth: so i go to my seat, inform the young lady sitting next to me that she also had -5 cus she handed her paper in right before me, and didn't know he counted it late
Brendth: then i get my things and rather than sitting 4 from the left on the 6th row out of 14 rows...
Brendth: i go sit DEAD CENTER in his face
Brendth: staring dead at him the entire lecture
Brendth: looking him dead in the eyes like... "are you stupid?"
cocacolafreak: lol
Brendth: lecture goes on ... he sees me... and is probably realizing that he upset the wrong person
Brendth: lecture ends
Brendth: wait...
Brendth: during the lecture about 15mins in someone turns in their test
Brendth: then about 5mins later... another person
cocacolafreak: wow
Brendth: then again 5mins later... one last person
Brendth: so i'm like... "He just lost this debate!"
Brendth: so lecture ends...
Brendth: boom, right in his face
Brendth: excuse me sir, now these tests are late
Brendth: him: "yes, but i gave these people an extra 30mins to work on the test"
Brendth: now....
cocacolafreak: lol
cocacolafreak: wow
Brendth: i didn't want to call into light the fact that he does not know if these people came in 30mins late, and therefore to give them 30mins extra is therefore unfair to the rest of us... as opposed to giving them the same amount of time based on when they came in
Brendth: cus he might then say, i'm right and just mark of their tests, which doesn't help me, or them
Brendth: so i say... "ok, now how is it then that my test was late?"
Brendth: response: "you turned your test in well after time"
Brendth: me: "sir, two minutes is not 'well after' anything. further more, the only reason my test wasn't among the earlier ones here were the fact that you asked that we put our names on them and put them together."
Brendth: response: "can we take this outside, i don't want to be in the other professors way"
Brendth: (there's another class after ours)
Brendth: (as well, that's fine by me, cus again it reinforces the point that he got himself in some shit, and he is going to have to do some serious work to win this debate)
Brendth: outside... i'm not more than 2feet behind him the whole way
Brendth: on his tail!!
Brendth: (all of this is intimidating body language... but i'm not even caring about that, cus i have this debate sewn up)
Brendth: (anyway... power moves coming up)
cocacolafreak: lol
Brendth: so... we sit on curb outside... (oddly unprofessional, but hey, me no care... i'm getting my dang points back... not that i would really care this much over 5 points but it's the principle of the thing)
Brendth: outside
Brendth: as we went out side there were three girls standing nearby one of them being the young lady who was sitting next to me
Brendth: him: "now, as i said before, i took the points off because you handed your test after everyone else"
Brendth: me: "sir, anyone could have been the last person to hand in their test, and that last test could have been handed in any portion of time after you called 'TIME'... do you really find it fair to take points off the last couple of people?"
Brendth: (that was primer point)
Brendth: me: "as well, i take offense that you would assume that i would have the audacity to disrespect you and your authority and even further engage in the dishonesty of cheating on an exam"
Brendth: "that is insulting"
Brendth: (the stronger point)
Brendth: me: " furthermore, i can call ms. porter here as witness that i was not working on my test..."
Brendth: "... but even better than that, if i were to call a witness. i would call you, who was standing over me watching me write my name on the test!"
Brendth: "therefore, if it was so important that I not work on my test anymore, since you believe i am this vandal who would have the gall to cheat, then why did you not take my test write then and there"
Brendth: "i wanted nothing more to do with the test, i would have gladly handed it in to you"
Brendth: (strongest point)
Brendth: (i had more but i did not need them)
Brendth: him: "ok, well... if what you say is true, then i will find your test and take off the penalty. and lets not bring ms. porter into this. lets keep this between you and i."
Brendth: me: "thank you sir... by the way... do you know my name? i would figure you would need that to find my test."
cocacolafreak07: lol
Brendth: him: "yes, um, what is your name?"
Brendth: me: "[Brendth]"
Brendth: him: "ok, mr. [Brendth] i will find your test and remove the penalty"
Brendth: I extended my hand to him as a handshake, having totally crushed his HankHill sounding ass in debate and rolled on about my business

... I KEEPS IT REAL!!! WU-TANG, NICCA!!!

Genius
Michael Moore. To understand go see any film he's made; or read any book he has written. I am glad that people like him exist. As well, that people enjoy his work, because that just makes me feel more comfortable in the nation. Else, i'd just be worried about living here. Yeah, i'm glad someone has used the tools available to say what so many are thinking in a way that so many who need to hear can understand. I wish there were more Michael Moore's in the top 10 percent of society, though if there were then the punks who balance them out and keep the world just the way it is (grrrr) would probably be even worse and numerous than they are now.
Example: Now that the movie came out, all the news stations are talking about how unfair it is to Bush, or that it does not justly argue the reasons he went to war. Hahahahaha, reasons... sorry. (Reason denotes logic and/or sense.) Anyway, i think it's pointless to argue that he doesn't stick up for Bush at all. He doesn't have to, aside from his freedom to make a movie/documentary of facts and interviews edited to display a message, the media is already so Bush biased that noone else ever need argue for Bush. Like i said, the night it opens every station is talking about how it bashes Bush. Duh, that's the whole reason Disney wouldn't let Miramax put it out in the first place. (Y'know that same story the news stations were more than happy to bring us before, which could have been taken then as the media chastising the film.) So like i said... more Moore... more opposition... same old same old.
C'est la vie.

Brendth: yea... we really weren't feeling the shopping thing
Brendth: so i just took jes home
Brendth: (i like how i say that easily, but this is like 45mins of driving... like most things in TX)
Brendth: then... i came home (realizing that i left my phone at jessica's)
Brendth: but i didn't want to go back, cus it was starting to rain
Brendth: but more so, cus there was this maroon cadillac that pulled in a little before us when we got there
Brendth: two brothers inside... but then this white lady got out
Brendth: and she was walking funny
Brendth: like... funny
Brendth: and so she goes and knocks on this other door w/ attitude
Brendth: and this heavyset white guy opens up
cocacolafreak: lol
Brendth: and she looks like she's negotiating something
Brendth: and so she goes inside
cocacolafreak: lol
cocacolafreak: wow
Brendth: and the two brothers just wait outside.. and repark... turn the car off... like she's gone be in there awhile
Brendth: .... yeah
Brendth: it's kinda one of those things you don't do... if u leave the scene of something sketch, u don't go back

I'(ll) tell you what...
Yeah, so today i was sitting in Calculus in a post-test ambivalence and I started paying attention to the voice of my Calculus professor cus it sounds really familiar. So as he's regaling us with the tale of Goldilocks (don't ask -- well, u can ask, but whatever ur thinking is probably better -- in fact really i think he really just wanted to tell us the tale of Goldilocks... he was in a Goldilocky mood. The tests do that too him, he smiles with this simpleton kind of peace. Anyway,...) i realize who he sounds like. HANK HILL! You know, from the animated series "King of the Hill". Yeah, so eventually i started thinking about that... then i just remember waking up as he finished something important. I can tell it was important cus it took 3 of the 7 boards at his disposal to explain it.
Yep.

Quantity from Quality
Y'know... there are few products that come to mind in which quality is actually in the best interest of the maker. The first and main one that comes to mind is the condom. The better this product works, the more the consumer is able to buy.
Babies = less money, time, need for condoms... I say less need cus if ur taking care of a baby then you probably aren't too keen on making another one right away; nor are you rested enough (for those of you who let lack of sleep affect your love life).
Death = you caught something now you might die. I would think that would dampen the libido just a tad. If you aren't alive you probably aren't too active on the social tip (unless you know some necrophiliacs).
Yeah... so those among other things should make condom makers to do the best job they can. Same thing applies to airbag makers and other life-saving products; cus if your product sucks... you really lose consumers.

My link to this page: WhitePriviledge Dot Com had to be temporarily moved/removed because it is causing problems on the page. Shame too... a good site.

Punk'd?
Yeah, so i'm watching the show and their target is Kanye West. Now... the premise is that his crew is filming a video but don't have a permit, so the LAFC is shutting the video down. So at one point the head official present from the LAFC starts taking their film. Guess again!! Kanye and his boy straight wrestle the LAFC for the film, hop in a van and peace out. In fact Ashton almost didn't get to tell them they were being Punk'd cus they were OUT! So since Kanye did not passively accept the shutdown and confiscation where they really Punk'd?
"I keeps it real!"

The Daily Show: News, Humor, & Honesty
"But Smarty Jones is still a winner. Why? Because he doesn't know he lost. And because he still gets to spend the next fifteen years humping every philly that promenades before him."
-Lewis Black

You know what i hate... when slapstick comedy's (or heck comedies in general) try to incorporate that moment of melancholy seriousness. It's like... what are you doing? Just killing the happiness here. I purposely am not watching drama. Grrrr... hate that.

Old School Journal
Yeah, so i found this OLD notebook i had from high school, and i guess one of the assignments was to keep a journal of anything you wanted. I'd say this was from sophomore year of high school judging from the teachers' names. So anyway this is just a little insight to me back then...
(~ = new thought)

"Yes this is a free journal, yes these are thoughts in my mind. ::tired:: I feel like just sitting and thinking. Of course when you read this you will be like, "Oh, maybe that's why he was so... nonparticipating." <-- Could not think up a word.
~ She looks good.

~I hope it rains. Rain is just... cool. It's such a mellow, soothing relaxing thing. Oh wait, if it rains, we won't have practice or at least the field will be all muddy. Ah well.
~I...
~She's cool but...
Sometimes it's like "Don't worry about it!" "If it comes, it comes."
~I would like to just be sitting and thinking while the rain outside just makes the soothing pitter-patter as the radio plays a soft jazz melody.
~She looks good, but...
Sometimes you want a more in-depth conversation.
~I hope Ms. Roberts is here today.
~I have no idea what you are thinking.

You can find me in the club?
It's sad when u notice that you aren't into the same things the friends you grow up are into. It's worse when you realize you aren't into the things that the majority of society is into. Sometimes I wish clubbin' sounded fun to me. Sometimes I feel like I should just lower my expectations of night-life. Everyone else enjoys the mess, why shouldn't I? I just don't though. It's not like i can't dance. It's not like I can't get girls' numbers. It's not like I don't like hanging with my friends. But really though... so I dance, then what? I don't need girls' numbers, cus i'm set (meaning i have a great girlfriend). I hang with my friends and try to avoid the second-hand smoke in-between the laughs, and other conversation. Beyond that... what? On a sidenote: Why is it that we (the usual suspects and i) barely hang with any females? Nothing against my crew, but it's just odd.
Yeah...

Early Morning TV
8:30am- (Damn) go outside.~Gatorade
Hahaha, there was this gatorade commercial, and essentially that's what it said. It was like 'Don't Get Fat, Go Outside.' I was basically surprised at how blunt it was. Then i just bust out laughing.


8:35am- On behalf of my Cherokee forefathers, I am offended by the U.S. Army Special Forces' (Green Berets') frequent use of Native-American symbolism. As offended as I would be if they suddenly donned African garb, and started calling stuff out in Swahili. (On a sidenote, they actually do teach Swahili by the way.)
