good thing im a pimp

(01:20) Joel Fulton: fuck y0u kitty youre gonna spend the night OUTSIDE
i thought that was funny enough to include. i really hope its not a quote from a movie.

this is going to be a good blog. okay first off, when I was helping out the guy who helped me make pop, he was moving stuff to another office. his name is todd. he had boxes labeled as "todds and ends". you can't beat that, sorry.

so a long time ago I lost the only hoodie I would ever wear. but I think if I/we ever muster up gusto, I will make a new cooler one with joel. his shirt is separate.

okay for very soon, erica came up with a good idea. it is inspired from another more creative soul, but it is still very good. you know those baloons with "merry marriage" or "happy funeral", those sorts of messages? the concept is free baloon night. it will have to wait until it gets warmer, due to helium issues (PV=nRT). but everyone loves free things, and I promise from personal experience that it makes for the best photo collection of all time. so if you are interested, and I don't hate you, show interest.

also, I found this, how interesting, top 5 most omaha dangerous intersections:
1.120th Street & Center Road
2.132nd Street & Center Road
3.90th Street & Maple Street
4.114th Street & Dodge Road
5.90th Street & Dodge Road


epi-blog-ue: alright so in a selfish attempt to keep the blog number down and comment number up, here is a link to my snow day activities. yes, I finally succumbed to the disturbing trend of posting childhood photos. yes I had blonde hair and glasses. oh well

its a beautiful day in the neighborhood

I just saw a gang of snowmobilists ride down pacific street. thats right, a gang. who wants to do something fun with me tommorow?

someone needs to have a talk with the whores of the school cancellation business. you know EXACTLY which schools I'm talking about. they're the ones who always cancel ridiculously early. i guess if they are the whores, we are the stingy preppy kids. fair assessment unfortunately

i just realized that it looks like im a lot less cool than I am. I imported all those old entries but it didn't import the humongo amount of comments that went along with them. how sad.

alright so many things to talk about but I think I will wait until tommorow. as some people are just beginning to figure out, things are often better articulated visually. ciao

oh, and the water pick sitting by my toothbrush is called the oral irrigator. sounds like a dominatrix toy.

what a day

in what seems to be a nice little cap to a whirlwind week, I got published in the public pulse: http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_pg=610

this was neat, a neat experience. a lot of other crazy things happening soon you may see.

this is what was printed: As many are well aware, Westside High School is part of a handful of schools across the country that choose not to close on Martin Luther King Day. While this is admirable, past effects have not been positive. Yearly, the manner in which the holiday is celebrated seems always to be inadequate.


This year, some students planned to protest this in the form of a sit-in. They were looking for better celebration of the holiday. Although this was never fleshed out, the underlying question seems to remain: What is the appropriate way to celebrate Martin Luther King Day?


Having gone through the school system and received quite an amount of information regarding Dr. King, I believe that most people know and can appreciate his biography. Although I may be a pretentious teen-ager, I believe this day could be better used. Why not spend the time in good-quality discussions of how everyone can help King's dream live on?


Martin Luther King's goal was to continue to actively remove prejudice evident in our society. Until this goal is achieved, merely rehashing his biography or commemorating his life won't suffice.
Jeffrey Sisson, Omaha

this is what was cut: Racism is still a problem, across the nation, as well as in Omaha. While this can be and is ignored, it shouldn't be.

kind of depressing if you ask me, but who knows. alright well enjoy the night

okay

although I would love for the last entry I wrote to revel and simmer Like I usually let important ones do, I think this next one is even MORE important.

Hopefully you're on there. If not, maybe next year. I think most are pretty good, some funny. So its worth it I guess. but check it out!

craaazy!!

alright, so I was a busy boy today. First thing which I'm sure many will appreciate, SMILEYS ARE BACK :)

I got nonstalgic today, started listening to old music so I was motivated. I tried to move all of the old ones, but I didn't move ALL of them being as some are useless. the ones that are in my comments thing are not the extent, there are many more, and I will soon post a key. maybe I'll post a site to show you how to put them in your blog too. but regardless anyone can use them right now.

SECOND NEW THING I found out finally how to convert all blogs from summer to new system. Does this mean I will move your old blogs? No. not now at least. You can look at mine, I promise they are probably the funniest you have ever seen. Joel says the Chart one is the best one of all time. If you can prove to me that your blogs are worth moving, maybe I'll do it.

I was going to have best pictures of 03 done but I have to figure out the best way to do it. then maybe i'll do best blogs of 2003. too bad the pink site was deleted, oh well :jeff:

sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick

haha I should direct you all to erik's blog, although I'm sure you've all read it, but its pertinent. for the record i think its a hilarious/cool thing, and other for the fact that most people may now view me as some self deprecating loser, I look forward to seeing what weirdos actually call up. maybe i will actually do it! who knows. grazie/preggo to pal erik

alright and in regards to this whole copying thing. i dont know that I want to weigh in just yet. but i will provide a few facts. first, karl in that instance you are wrong. the person who is rightfully credited with the music reference is Sarah V (she has a last name but combatrhino kids really have no place for the surname any longer). i think it is september 1st, and she has consistently used it. so there. second fact, erik started the whole blogging trend in this little area. you have all stole it from him. and you hvae stolen my style too haha. so i dont know there are some justified and some unjustified claims, you make the call.

this whole MLK thing is either going to explode or implode I don't know which yet. totally weird situation. on one hand its somewhat heavy handed and fake, since its not like we have approached the administration about it in a reasonable manner and been denied. on the other hand who's to say it wont do good. i admit to wanting to be in it to be revolutionary to an extent, but i think race relations are a big problem in omaha that everyone complacently chooses to ignore. its fucking disgusting in fact. alright, goodnight my damies.

shortity

okay this weekend I am totally posting a BEST OF my pictures page. umm I am at late night now which is decently fun. we measured the distance a ladder from the english i.m.c. to the ledge above the math would need to be. ill post details later.

addendum: today as I walked out, many weird things happened. first of all erik said "i like your haircut". at first I thought he was high, but then the rest of the classroom chimed in in agreement of haircut. keep in mind it has been 3-4 weeks since I got a haircut. as I walked out the door a person I would never talk to ever, weird kid said while another kid was blocking my exit from the school "hey its jsiss". then, ian fried's brother was like "slick hair sisson". very weird all of these.

i'm more important than you


I don't know why this picture is so cool, but i like it.

even stevens, tawny on it is very very attractive. probably my age. tawny vs. ren? eesh close call, I dont' know for sure.

okay so all of my looming deadlines are done. Done i tell you! the release i have right now is immense. sounds sexual doesn't it? but it isn't. close though.

the state of the blog world is sad. period. i think i may crazy things up to pit you all against each other. or erik will do it before me maybe. we'll see but im bored, saving a few examples.

just can't get enough

okay so guess what buddies. I made pop. ALTHOUGH i screwed up a bit. I didnt' put enough sugar, so tastewise its sort of like a tiny bit flat watery thing. like it isn't BAD but it isn't coke. taste wise i could do better but i think i give it a B or B+. the issue is the smell. something mustve been weird, it smells weird. crazy eh. i still need a name for it. sissoda? who knows

okay so I was reading other blogs, not ones on this site. and maybe its just me, but am I missing out on the whole catharsis thing? It seems like if I line up my blogs with others, I'm missing a lot of song lyrics, gushy stuff, anecdotes, flying disks of fury, you can see a trend forming. what should I do? maybe if i was cooler....oh snap I am. beatch. its empowering.

I thought last night, and short of embarassment, does it really matter that one keeps ones grades confidential? I mean you can't change them. its not like a lunch account where you can steal my grades. this is concerning powerschool, the computer grading system.

also I am feeling very political. I am reading al franken's book and have watched like three Julia Roberts conspiracy type of movies, so be prepared for some wild conjectures and accusations. its like the wild west. I hope that i get honorable mention for blog design, at least i like how it look son my computer. it may jank up on yours, sorryyyyyy

okaaayyallriiight

so following with i guess tradition i fondled my blog, changed things around a bit. i must say, the reason why I personally (perhaps erik/joel too) keep my old blogs is simple. i dont enjoy the concept of arcchives! maybe if I make a graphic with a safe, and you have to enter a password to get into them, then I'll do archives, but othherwise it seems like no one would read my old entries. not that anyone does anyyways, its just that im not as cool as everyone else. i have these sorts of problems!

its snowing! how exciting. so i made pop and i cant tell if its working or not. majoro bummer. i stayed up till 3 and watched two julia roberts movies. it was weird but i got to sleep in. new school tommorow, i am looking forward to new schedules . its like what new seating arrangements was like in elementary school. I also cleaned my room. i need to find a good use for a webcam too. im sure there is something else interesting i can write about in this blog.

oh if you didnt notice my self imposed ego boost in the form of my large styled title in the sidebar, i am taking it down. it was sort of to test that out, but erik is coming back and i fear his not liking any of the changes that have gone down. we'll see, in the meantime, goodbye!

shake it like a salt shaker

okay so i feel like i know tek from real world hawaii. i dont care about whatever any of you think, me and him are totally awesome. note to combatants: if any of you are ever on the real world bring me back a souvenir or something. im obsessive about tv like that.

okay here is a proposal from me in all my ultimate congeniality and wisdom: I am willing to open up template access for whoever wants it. what does this mean? if you learn html skills or know them or know css etc, you can edit how your blog looks. i am not willing to do it for you, and if you fuck it up egregiously I will replace it. but if this interests you contact further.

im going to go bike, and it will be awesome. in the meantime, enjoy my blissful encounter with fake wine: link
