College

As many of you know, I spent much of my time at college visiting other colleges (and the women I was dating there).

Anyway, I'm proud to announce that I am returning to school in September:

Western Governor's University, for a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology - Security. The will let me build on my CISSP with a bachelor's degree. It'll also let me take it online, at my own schedule.

Now if I can only find a local Delta house chapter...

A Tale Of Two Cities

So, in South Jersey there is a slum called Camden. In Maine there is a BEAUTIFUL town called Camden. They are quite different. Camden Maine's Rotary club has a program called "Camden To Camden."

The Camden Rotary Club's Camden to Camden project hosts 30 to 35, children from Camden, N.J. for 10 days of summer activities in Camden, Maine.

Camden, Maine is gorgeous, on the coast, a lovely harbor lined with shops...truly breathtaking.

Camden, NJ is the most dangerous city in the USA.

So let me get this straight. The Rotary imports kids from the most dangerous city in the country and brings them to a quiet, affluent town in Maine where nobody locks their doors. Thats fucking brilliant.

Stem Cells/Pigs

This right here is crazy.

By using pigs to let me know that we'll be able to fix any heart damage I might end up getting by eating unhealthy just INCREASES my chances of eating a ton of bacon. I just hope we can use stem cells to make them even juicer.

Andrew, this one is for you...

Ok, so I usually bust Andrew's chops for political posts. But I have been having some conversations with friends lately and I can't help but post about politics.

If you live in Maine or have friends in Maine, PLEASE, visit this website.

www.Mainewontdiscriminate.com Here is why.

"An Act to Extend Civil Rights Protections to All People Regardless of Sexual Orientation" passed in March of 2005 with support from a strong bipartisan majority in both houses of the Maine Legislature. Now, this important law is under attack, so a coalition has formed to keep Maine's anti-discrimination law on the books

I can't believe there are people who want the right to discriminate against homosexuals! Whats next, lets make it legal to discriminate against other minority groups in the state like, I don't know, the EMPLOYED?

Plus, I don't get the issue of gay marriage. Why is it an issue? Does the fact that a same sex couple wants to get married in any way diminish the love that you share with your spouse? No! It doesn't effect you so why deprive someone else of their freedom to marry who they want. And while I am ranting...isn't it Ironic that these Christian groups who so oppose a woman's right to choose...who believe that sex is only for procreation, live in a country where the best selling drug is for treating erectile dysfunction? Hey buddy, I bet that your wife is postmenopausal if you need Viagra...so why are you buying this drug if sex is only for proceration? Hypocrite.

NO FEAR!

Downy has no fear, considering she is a 4lb Rabbit she never seems to be scared of animals that are supposed to be natural predators. She mounted Peg's Cat Mandy...and she runs circles even through Snowy's legs when the two of them play.

Snowy seems sad that she's too big to lay on Colleen.

Yeah, Like That Will Work!

I was in Kennebunkport, ME with a few friends recently doing a little shopping and some eating too. Kennebunkport is a very cute village. While walking up a side street I saw a lot full of cars that reminded me of many of the lots you see down the Jersey Shore, in towns like Point Pleasant Beach or Seaside Heights. But there was something different here that was worth photographing.


I'd Like To See Them Try This In New York or New Jersey

The Best Thing About Being an "Adult"

So this morning I was running a little late to get to work, I had to skip breakfast! NO! You can't skip breakfast, its the most important meal of the day! What would I do? The clock was taunting me, I had 1 minute before I needed to leave my house, coffee was out of the question. My caffeine deprived synapses came up with a solution in the 11th hour.

CHIPWHICH!

THAT'S RIGHT!!! I had ICE CREAM for Breakfast...why?? Because I'm an adult, I'm allowed. So there :P

Don't Maine Jersey

So while I was on vacation, there was some person wearing a shirt like this:



So... no sports teams, ocean beaches, an International Airport, nor cheap gas (full serve, too) for them. ;-)

We will take their former Governor though, but not their current one.

I wonder... is there the same effort in Maine, or do you guys seek edible Chinese food?

Flag Amendment

A better flag amendment...

Ok, so I'm not a fan of burning the flag in protest. I do believe it symbolzies a lot. However, I'd say that most protests that burn the flag are PROBABLY done overseas, in countries where our laws don't often cover.

Additionally, the flag code itslef dictates that flags in conditions no longer fitting display should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. We cremate our loved ones, I think burning a flag can be done respectfully.

Now -- the flag code also restrict using it as clothing. And although I'm not big on shirts/jackets/etc, I do like watching out at political conventions for the old ladies dressed up in red, white and blue.

Overall, I just don't like amending the constitution on something that doesn't seem to be that big of a problem.

The Week In Review

This week, a lot of shocking things happened!

Start out with the revelation that
The BTK Killer is none other than

James Lipton from "Inside the actors studio.

Ahhh BTK is a butchered acronym for "Bravo Television networK" A clever fiend indeed. Apparently Mr. Lipton would take uncooperative actors and actresses, Bind them up and ask them "What is your favorite cuss word?"

Also this week, Vladimir Putin the president of Russia



accepted a "GIFT" from New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft. Apparently Vladimir said "Mr. Kraft, that Tom Brady is some quarterback, it would be a shame if something unfortunate happened to him.

In Belgium a politician showed true leadership, by standing up for what he believes in. Only if we had people of such principle stateside. Instead in Maine they debate about things like changing the timezone to Atlantic Time. I'd show up an hour late to that meeting.

In my personal life I have decided to compound the mistake I made in October. Well really its my way of covering up the mistake, make it look deliberate like when you walk down the street, stumble and the break into a jog or skipping. So I put an offer on a Condo and they accepted it, now I just have to go through the motions and become a Mainer officially.

AND THE WORST THING OF ALL to happen. Sandra Day O'Connor announced her decision to resign. This gives President Bush the first nomination to the Supreme Court in 11 years. Crap, I hope the Justice he appoints can pronounce NUCLEAR.

Rampant Anti-semitism

Yeah, don't try to deny it during this the most anti-semetic month of the year. Jew Lie. Jeez, I can't believe they get away with that.
