Ive had some interesting times this semester.

I appologize for the two of you who come here for information about me. I have been busy teaching, grading papers, and working.

I unfortunately have to stop teaching next semester, though I enjoyed it. We have a few weeks left. Then we will have exams. It should be interesting.

So much has happened this summer, but so little was accomplished.

big news . . . I moved into a house near campus.
Now I get to sleep(no more jam sessions or wild parties beneath my bed).
and bigger yet, my brother David is now living with me. Now two of the most important people in my life get to see my shining and sometimes grumpy face every “FREAKING” day. Im thrilled, and I know by their looks and attitudes they’re thrilled also. Well at least I think they’re thrilled… hope more like … pray they never tell me the truth … But Im just being paranoid … right?

so thats what I accomplished.

Work Work Work, Sleep, Work, Work, Play, Play, Work, Work, Play, Play, Sleep, Play, Play, Work. . . get the picture.

Oh well I also tried to update the site to be cleaner and more beneficial to certain people.

I have unfortunately taken the link to Shai’s Wonderful Hyper-fiction off the front page, so until I fix that here it is. ta-DAAA

ok well the Warden, says I need to get some sleep if Im going to make it to work tonight.

I am glad they accept my shortcomings as an on time employee.

Goodday Folks(this is for the 3 that actually read this blasted thing)

Wilbur

PS yes I know, aggravatingly puts itself all the way over there, Im trying to fix that but need sleep. See you later.

“The Station of Fossil Man” by Shai

Quickly before the guards see.

I wanted to state that I have posted a Hyper-Fiction by Shai. Most of you out there dont know Shai, but I do so I posted and believe you all should read it.

Weatherly graduated yesterday. She is now a Bachelor.(My brother hates that I use that word in that precise meaning.)
She had a party yesterday, which didnt go over to well. Very few of her friends came over, and her parent’s friends did. Needless to say, Im not too happy with a lot of the people that call themselves Weatherly’s Friends. Some people better have some damn good excuses. Oh well, I hope she enjoyed the company of the ones that did show up(even though some we’re late.)

Semester is over for many, but like usual, Wilbur did not complete his work. I need to figure out a way to either quit the Hilton job, quit the Assistanceship or quit the sleeping.

I havent the time to decide on that.

Writing Writing Writing I must do.

Goodluck everyone.

Michael Moore.com

David, my brother, had the audacity to give me Bowling for Columbine, I watched for three hours because i had to take breaks due to my cursing crying and cringing. I couldnt take most of it because it feels so dead on true.

my god if half of his statements are true we should pray to whatever god we have for forgiveness

what about the atheist, well you and I will need to do many hours of community service to make up for it

we are truly fucked up and its depressing

I had misguided faith that the democrats were in some way better than the republicans, i listened to jacques and johann’s ideas of politics with hesitancy believing they were too extreme and had lost touched with reality

only problem was that I was the one who was not listening and living in my own little dreamworld.

Micheal Moore calls for Protests of Bush, but explain to me what will happen when Bush is gone, will the next president be different than the ones who came before?

Americans have been playing god for a long time, and I dont think we want to stop.

My brother hopes to enlighten enough of the population to keep politicians accountable. Its a lofty goal I cant believe in.

My friend Ronnie hopes that a plague wipes out 90% of the population and makes the living conditions for the rest bearable. Im not that sadistic to wish for that.

I just want something to believe in, and not some false myth that has been propagated by the same people i distrust.

Some would probably say believe in yourself, only problem is I know myself and Im not a good person.

So I sit here depressed with my idealogies destroyed, thanks moore.

Im also getting old.

Fuck their god, whomever they are.

Reports and Reading and Reports and Reading

wish i didnt have to sleep

just a quick hello

Seems I scraped by the april 4th date

hopefully i can get everything completed before the end of the year

the friday five

Ok following Bean’s lead lets answer these as honestly as I can.

1. What was your most memorable moment from the last week?

damn thats a hard one, well going to cheat and say that the most memorable thing that happen to me in the last few weeks was weatherly giving me a hug and hoping i completed my work before the school kicked my sorry ass out

2. What one person touched your life this week?

ok going to have to say weatherly but amanda is a close second and david somewhere around third

3. How have you helped someone this week?

well lets see hmmm fucked on this one, i usually dont help anyone at all.

4. What one thing do you need to get done by this time next week?

ONE THING — fuck —- elizabeth* is not a fucking college student is she
fucking one thing — like I have fucking one thing to do, except maybe work my ass off. god damnit

5. What one thing will you do over the next seven days to make your world a better place?

world a better place, that kind of leads back to helping and see i avoid that but I guess the one thing that I will try to do is not get kicked out of school, because then a lot of people will probably be hurt, when i go get some construction gig and do a crappy job and the building collaspes on people i wont even know

ok that was a load of shit

guess wilbur’s not cut out with getting to know your true self . . . i dont like my true self.

* creator of the friday five

ps this will be the last time i try this thank you very much

and just for those curious, skip and vaught have their reports, only dorwyck is left and i need to have a talk with him.

Self Criticism

I accept the present emperium
for my own, individual good.
I have been striving to become miserly
in all I think and do so that I,
and those few who look to me
for their protection, shall not
be alienated through my recalcitrance.
And I will not be tempted to consider avariciousness wretched,
I shall not wince or shudder
at happy talk, for even as I know it is vapid
and inane, still it is better that its users
be spared the dark tribulations
which might otherwise occupy their consciences
and distract them from their self-righteousness
And I promise not to consider self-righteousness
in the old, aloof and superior way
which was formerly my wont.

I know that abortion is wrong
and should be shunned
and I shall banish from my mind
the scenes of infanticide
which are condoned the world over
for the good of subject states.
But those questions, again,
I will make myself reluctant to contemplate.

I will approve of genocide in Central America
because it is proprietary
and conforms with our government’s policy.
I approve of the reluctant delivery of food
to Ethiopia’s starving millions
because that country has a Marxist government
and I agree that magnanimity
in such a situation would be mistaken.
But above all, I am in agreement
with all my government does
because to think otherwise
would be to make of myself an enemy of the state.

When concertina wire is strung along my street
I shall not object, nor will it disturb me
because I am now convinced
that what I formerly took to be
a restriction of my spirit
is in reality, for my salvation,
if salvation is in my future,
but even that doubt is a sign of my humility.

CNN.com – Bush: ‘No outcome except victory’ – Mar. 19, 2003

President George W. Bush told the world Wednesday night that the United States and its allies had launched a campaign to oust Saddam Hussein from Iraq and “free its people.”
Bush warned the nation that the conflict “could be longer and more difficult than some predict.”

strange but i thought quickness was the selling point to the war

But he assured Americans that “this will not be a campaign of half-measures, and we will accept no outcome except victory.”

i hope so. i would hate for us to be starting this just to fiddle fart around.

Bush said that “coalition forces will make every effort to spare innocent civilians from harm.”
But Bush warned that that goal may not be simple to reach.

uh oh

“Saddam Hussein has placed Iraqi troops and equipment in civilian areas, attempting to use innocent men, women and children as shields for his own military; a final atrocity against his people,” Bush said.

oh well guess there will be civilian deaths, but its not our “fault”.

Earlier in the evening, a Pentagon official told CNN that cruise missiles were being fired against “a target of opportunity” — a “decapitation attack” aimed at killing Saddam before the planned start of the war.

wow talk about getting to the fucking point.

He said Wednesday night’s actions were only the beginning of a “broad and concerted” military campaign to oust the Iraqi president and his regime.

so i assume the whole “quick surgical strike” was a load of bullshit

Bush said the United States has Iraq’s best interest in mind as the invasion begins.

“We come to Iraq with respect for its citizens, for their great civilization and for the religious faiths they practice. We have no ambition in Iraq, except to remove a threat and restore control of that country to its own people,” he said.

i’m sure the Iraqis see it that way too

Bush also told Americans that “helping Iraqis achieve a united, stable and free country will require our sustained commitment.”

again goodbye with the short little war

In closing, Bush said, “We will pass through this time of peril and carry on the work of peace. We will defend our freedom. We will bring freedom to others. And we will prevail. May God bless our country and all who defend her.”

guess everything is ok now, since we are dropping bombs, and the stock exchange is on the return.
now everytime i think of what we are doing i hope bush would realize the error in his decisions

hope i see everyone for futures to come

I am sitting here staring at the screen asking myself again why I bother.

Is the Master of Arts degree this important?

Do I really care about teaching at a College or University?

Well I guess I do, because I’m fucking typing away like mad.

I am doing ok. Getting enough sleep. Eating pretty regular. Completing Assignments.

My parents think I’m “on the edge” and “breaking under the stress”. They dont understand and I guess sarcasm doesnt come off very well over type.

So long for a little bit . . . weatherly hope your satiesfied . . . hopefully I wont take this long next time

well its snowing
