statistics
A)
I have been logging AIM conversations since 8th grade (6 years), and doing so in a logical (properly formatted) fashion since 2002. The result is probably the largest set of data I can claim as my own, aside from perhaps my arrays of mp3 cds or what is becoming a longer list of blogs. I finally gave into technological temptation and installed a rather full bodied analyzing-type postgresql program for Adium. Details are irrelevant, but to give you a few interesting figures from the screen-name on my buddy list endowed with the biggest/hottest data (reginafalangi88/Erica Hart):
Number of instances of the word "poop," as ordered by screenname
Some might categorize this as some sort of bizarre disfunctionality, but I am rather proud of this figure. I wonder if Erik is jealous that he is not number 1, since he used to talk about his movements frequently.
Number of messages, in conversations with Reginafalangi88, per month in the year of 2004
Numbers tallied on the right are numbers of messages, and the numbers on the bottom correspond to the months of the year.
Now I would ask you what is weird about that one? I was surprised to see the drop out in June's messages myself; even for someone who is generally AIM-infrequent, this is somewhat abnormal. But! Then I remembered this! and I think everyone should revere her monk-like adherence to self-made predictions. Certainly I could learn a lesson or two.
B)
Saturday the 18th, Joel, Ryan, Jeff and I took advantage of the fiscal boon that is the College world Series (2 points for those not involved who know the kissee here).
It was not a booth at all, but exactly 0 people asked us about this inconsistency. We had 5 hecklers, one (and a half) of which attempted to apply rogue economics and undercut our project. Unfortunately offering free kisses doesn't change the fact that you are dirty.
We had 21.24 in revenue; adjusting for inflation (we threw in approximately 8 dollars to show people how to give us their money; please correct me if you can account for the exact figures here) we made precisely $13.24 (I know this much for sure). Enough for ice cream for just about four. Jeff (M) was the only one who got an individual kiss.

overalls
well I don't have any rational explanation as to how this came about (but as is the case with many of the past videos). but it is worth a peek for at least a few reasons. it should be enjoyed by the whole family, though surely the establishment will find flaws. but even the hope diamond has flaws. and this thing is probably bigger than the hope diamond. its 4.5 megs to be excact. enjoy!

recapulatory
here are some of my favorite photos from the trip. I say some, because there were 350, and I probably wouldn't show you all of my favorite ones either. there has to be some sort of surprise!
In terms of Europe, I will offer you my complete, accurate assessment of the whole thing:
| France Breads Red wine the Vibraphone OR Berets Striped shirt (biased) Love/Kisses! Long stares (they don't look away when eyes meet[I didn't notice this myself]) Diversity Scooters | Germany Precision Haus Tekno the Cold War Mullets/rat tails Filling foods Intense facial composition Magical beer Fantastical Moustaches |

zie BloggenfraudÄr (From Berlin)
well here I am
in germany, where y's are z's on the keyboard
I am shortly arrived from France
where as expected I had a wonderful time with Erica
I wish I had pictures to show you! if I had known I would have access to the internet I would moblog as they call it
I thought that maybe this would be a delightful vacation from the internet
but I succumbed to internal pressure. But I am realizing slowly that the internet for good vs for evil is all about self motivation and not letting it become an addiction
drinking age is lower here. open beverages is allowed. plenty of techno. europe is a good place, I still like Amerika better, but I could live here provided the situation was right. look for more when I get back. good chance I will delete this when I get back, too, because its not that great of a blog.
work harder at the things you thing you are doing well, though. it is important to always be learning

the nebraska legislative year is over
I leave for France, today, at 2 pm, until the 13th of june.
I hope for it to be entirely enlightening. Erica and her sister will be there. I am bringing: 2 striped shirts. I might have forgot my pretention though. just kidding....
such that you do not get bored whilst I am away, here are a few things to gnaw and tear at
Binney Park photos! this was a Ricky Fulton volunteer event. this year it was located at 24th and Binney, North O, and we made a lot of cool friends (learn your manners!)
A few random tricks, care of some of the kids here and the other jeff! Most of these don't require explanation. That red thing is the mat behind the high jump pole deal.
it should be noted:
-I have been reading lately. what are books you like? who likes the idea of a combatrhino book club (though I'm fairly certain I executed this idea at one point, I don't remember what it was called)?
-please visit ilikenicethings.com while I am away, it is redesigned, repurposed, and hopefully dave has a hilarious little gem hidden away in his rimmed glasses
-there is a song out there, floating along AIM, which was recorded last night, the 3rd of june. If its subject matter was not so heinous/awesome/heinously awesome, I would put it up here. but alas, you will just have to find it. it's called "Grass on the field," if this gives you any indication of what it may very well be like. And I thank an anonymous someone who was courageous enough to help record it! And MartyWillenholly on AIM is a good place to look for the mp3 itself
-the other night a fantastic idea was come up with: does jeff fit??? it may very well spawn a fantastic domain name.
