How does you stop journalists from leaking in their bias in the papers?
Like, they say...george bush who is a dong..spoke about the economy today..

so what does you do when there ain't much happenin in the news that day?
Does you make up your own headlines? For real
can you make up your own headlines to sell more papers, like...say a big headline like "War Begins".....then on page 2 War begins with a W.
i's would buy that....War Begins....wicked...then i turn to page two...war begins with a W...i knew that..but lets read some other stuff

Big day for me...got a lot done.

Started it off solid....watched the mens marathon. Meb got it done for the U.S. Won the silver...first U.S medal in the marathon since '76. I've already been pretty inspired from the olympics and all, but that put me over the top. I went out and ran a 4 miler. First run in over a month probably. I'm gonna get back into it bigtime now. Then i did some work with my dad. Ripped out some carpet from the basement of one of our apartments. It was flooded from the constant downpour we've had in this neck of the woods for last few days.

After that i proceeded to play 4+ hours of ultimate frisbee. What a great time. Me and roy were quite the team. I also did a lot of situps and pushups today. Booyah. Then i came home got some din-din, did a little calc 3, read a litter world lit..some ancient bullcrap.

tomorrow is today. get it done.

What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down.

I don't wanna come back down from this cloud
Taken me all this time to find out what i need

I really wish i could be working out. I get so stressed trying to do everything i need to do for school right now; like all the leg work...not even homework yet, that when i get done i'm so worn out or i have to go to work. Like a fuckin for instance, i have been runnign around every trying to do all the necessary things i need to do to get my ID. So that i can get in to the Rec center. So that I can work out. And i still don't have it.

But i talked with my Math mentor, Dr. Matsko, and we think we've found a way to finish up everything i need to by Fall '06 for graduation. Cuz Qu has all this extra bullshit that i gotta take. Ridiculous. That's with a Math major and Comp Sci minor.

Here's how it's gonna lay out.

This semester
Calc 3
Computer Programming I(C++)
World Literature (extra bullshit)
Christian Sexuality instead of intro to bible cuz it's a 300 level course and i need so many upper level courses to graduate. Again extra bullshit.

Spring '05
Calc II(backwards, they only offer it in the spring)
Computer programming II(continuing with C++ i imagine)
Math Logic
Differential Equations
Global studies(extra bullshit) That's 4 math classes basically. damn. 16 credits

Fall '05
Linear Algebra and matrix Theory
Discrete Math
Software systems
Ethics
Physical health and wellness(extra bullshit)

Spring '06
Probability theory
another 300 level theology course..don't know which one yet..probably social catholic thinking..gah
Program Design using Data structures
and a math elective. I'm thinking higher geometry or abstract algebra...maybe number theory
And my comprehensive seminar. Gotta take it in the spring cuz that's the only time they offer it.

Fall '06

The fund of public speaking(BS)
Real Analysis
and 2 Comp sci electives haven't chosen those yet. Maybe i'll ask andy sometime

Graduate

I think i like QU a lot more than i thought i would. It really is a cozy place. I think a smaller school would have been a better idea for me in the beginning. If only i knew then what i know now. But yeah..Qu is going well for me..cept all the religious nonsense. Which i can say i don't mind learning about Christianity, but i hate being preached to. Havent' been doing all the things i wanted to be doing. But i'm trying..i'm trying real hard.

Let's see if we can do it tomorrow

nice updating geoff....that's good, solid stuff there man....Ben Fongtorres

Tonight's update will be short. Didn't get to work out today due to last night's festivities and also that fact that i had school today and had to work a double. And i had to hang out with mal after work for a bit. Anyway..i still did some situps and some pushups....i'm on the right track. I plan to run the turkey run..that'll probably be my first race and then i won't race for a while. til spring at least.

Tomorrow's schedule.

8am-Run...short..but very sweet.
8.30-Breakfast
9.05-Computer Programming
10.10-World Lit
11.15-Calc III
12.30-Lunch with Mal...subway or something similar hopefully
1-3...study/Guitar
3.00-Frisbee Ultimate
Rest of night doing homework or playing guitar or watching olympics or finishing up Count of monte cristo

I'll keep updating time and time again

been a while. Lots of changes. I guess i'll just have to update.

I'm no longer going back to school in chicago. I'm staying home and going to Quincy University. I think of it kind of as a blessing in disguise. I mean..i guess that is a selfish way of looking at things but everythign is going well for me right now. I'm not one of those people that hates quincy. I never really wanted to stay in quincy but i like the town and i don't mind being here. Things seem to make more sense here. Maybe not more sense..but things are simpler. My routine is starting to form. I'm always better about my routine while i'm at home. I've been working a lot and will continue to work so i'll keep raking in the cash. And i've also met someone new. A really wonderful person named mallory. It's been a long time since i've been this excited about a girl. It's crazy.
