| Baseball? What's That?!? |
| 10.21.04 (2:55 am) [edit] |
so everyone is obsessed with this baseball thing. No offense, especially Bob, but why? I come from a town where no one knew about this fetish with the game. When baseball was on tv, no one would watch and would switch it to something more - exciting. I don't get it. It's not too entirely exciting to me to watch one guy hit a ball, then wait. I didn't know this sport was such a big thing around the world. I guess I just lived a sheltered childhood in my small midwestern town.
I went to the career fair today. That was after I woke up late (11am) to go to my e-sys lab (10:50), which was easy and totally exciting. < I AM a tool! I think a lab is cool, but baseball, a sport, is not? > Then I went to SubWay where I get $.50 cash back for eating there. so cool. Then I came back, took a shower, and cut my self shaving. It has been a looong time since I've done that, but when I need to look nice I bleed everywhere. arrg. So I changed shirts, grabbed my resumes and company list and I was on my way...to hell. Okay so it wasn't that bad, but it definately brought my self-esteem way down. "Umm, sorry sir but we don't want you. You're not got enough for XY company." They'll eat their words one day when I rule the world. mua ha ha! :twisted:
I did talk to some people from some really awesome companies that I woudl love to work for one day. Like ITT Industries Aerospace/Communications who make sat-com telephones for the miltary and make weather type satelites. They got a new contract and really nead people, but they're in Fort Wayne. errg. Then there was Stanley Security Solutions, specifically integrator.com division who makes integrated securtity systems for prisions. They said they had this one intern last summer who pretty much led the design designed and carried through with building a security system for a prison. so cool. (but that's just me i guess)
Anyway, so after being told NO a lot, I went over to Sammy Suites and actually visited Rusy Berg to see his sweet vacuum tube amp. so cool :!: I loved the sound. I'm gonna have one for me one of these days!
Then on to CR club, were we had a poor turnout for tonight :cry: Since I'm the secretary I have to the constitution of our chapter, exec roster, and attendace records by Friday for SAC to be approved for club status.

| yeah, the update thing...by letter Y...read it biotch |
| 10.17.04 (3:03 am) [edit] |
hey all,
following Dave's suit I decided to update a bit as well.
So, the quarter is going well thus far, despite hating conaps. I don't know why they make EE's take it or Msys; and I don't know why everyone else must take Esys. Oh well. Yeah, instead of traveling the world-or at least parts of europe-on a possible study abroad next year I decided to give myself high blood pressure and a heart attack by picking up a double major (from a minor) in Econ. I love the stuff! (don't quote me on that when I bitch out my econ classes later) By adding the double I get preference over others in getting into closed econ classes. Case in point: financial economics for next quarter. Me: Please Dr. Bremmer. Bremmer: Okay, since you're a double major. :) Yeah, I'm a whiny-ass that gets my way. Other than having to convince Bremmer and the HSS department to let me in so I graduate in 4 years registration went without a hitch, unless you count the fact that I'm not in DE 2 right now-but that's trivial right?
So, rush is going as well as rush can go. if that makes any sense. It takes up a lot of damn time buy i'm told that it is worth it. we'll see. Damn the frosh. Still like a week or so left until bid tuesday, then halloween PART-AY! [october 30 www.pikeparty.com ] it'll be great! YOU should go! Fall break is going well except i'm freezing my ass off right now. I went to the covered bridge festival (if you're not from indiana, don't ask) and thought i was going to fall over dead from the cold. it's all good though.
Got an email from my uncle in afghanistan. He's doing well-even though he went through and ambush. read about it here. He's actually mentioned by name! Maj. Jeff McClane! That's cool.
Yeah, Jesseca says you should watch this-I agree!
Bad Kerry Rap

| RHCR & more! |
| 10.07.04 (4:48 am) [edit] |
Yea! I'm interim secretary for the Rose-Hulman College Republican. We can't have elections until after Bush gets re-elected on Nov. 2. So I was appointed till then. It'll be fun.
In other news:
I added a double major of economics to my existing EE degree. I talked to Dr. Christ and he was like, good luck man, EE is the hardest to double major with...wow that's incredibly supportive.
I got all of my classes in order for next quarter and it looks like I will have no free time :( Even though I only have 18 credit hours total I actually have 22 hours, and 3 of those are a shared lab between msys and fluids. that'll suck, i hate both of those classes already. I hate Rose's Sophomore program that makes us engineers take all of systems classes that have nothing to do with our individual majors. like frickin' mechanical systems and my electrical engineering degree! WTF!?! At least the MEs took statics and have a jump start, not to mention they actually like/understand this crap. I hate ConAPs now and I will hate Msys even more! arrrggg!
I'm also trying to get over this horrible cold I have. I got some awesome drugs from the nurse, but I still feel bad.
So for now I have to do Rush, RDC lighting design for the play at the end of this month, register my classes for next quarter, make a grid for my future econ classes to be approved, RHCR & secretary stuff, feel better, sleep, and not to mention go to class, homework, and study so I don't fail so many tests...(etc)

| Kerry's 11 Positions on the War! |
| 10.02.04 (5:18 am) [edit] |
Kerry's 11 Positions on the War In Iraq
1. October 2002: Kerry Voted For Use Of Force Resolution Against Iraq. Kerry and Edwards voted for the Congressional resolution authorizing the use of force against Iraq. (H. J. Res. 114, CQ Vote #237: Passed 77-23: R 48-1; D 29-21; I 0-1, 10/11/02, Kerry Voted Yea)
2. April 2003: Kerry Promised Not To Attack President When War Began, But Weeks Later, With Troops Just Miles From Baghdad, Kerry Broke His Pledge And Called For "Regime Change In The United States." (Glen Johnson, "Democrats On The Stump Plot Their War Rhetoric," The Boston Globe, 3/11/03; Glen Johnson, "Kerry Says Us Needs Its Own ‘Regime Change,’" The Boston Globe, 4/3/03)
3. May 2003: In First Dem Debate, Kerry Strongly Supported President’s Action In Iraq. SEN. JOHN KERRY: "I said at the time I would have preferred if we had given diplomacy a greater opportunity, but I think it was the right decision to disarm Saddam Hussein, and when the President made the decision, I supported him, and I support the fact that we did disarm him." (ABC News, Democrat Presidential Candidate Debate, Columbia, SC, 5/3/03)
4. September 2003: Kerry Said Voting Against The $87 Billion Supplemental Would Be "Irresponsible." Doyle McManus (LA Times): "If that amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?" Kerry: "I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to - to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible." (CBS’s "Face the Nation," 9/14/03)
5. October 2003: Kerry Voted Against The $87 Billion Supplemental Supporting Our Troops. (S. 1689, CQ Vote #400: Passed 87-12: R 50-0; D 37-11; I 0-1, 10/17/03, Kerry Voted Nay)
6. January 2004: After Voting For War And Trailing Candidate Howard Dean In The Democrat Primaries, Kerry Says He Is Anti-War Candidate. CHRIS MATTHEWS: "Do you think you belong to that category of candidates who more or less are unhappy with this war, the way it’s been fought, along with General Clark, along with Howard Dean and not necessarily in companionship politically on the issue of the war with people like Lieberman, Edwards and Gephardt? Are you one of the anti-war candidates?" KERRY: "I am -- Yes, in the sense that I don’t believe the president took us to war as he should have, yes, absolutely." (MSNBC’s "Hardball," 1/6/04)
7. August 2004: In Response To President’s Question About How He Would Have Voted If He Knew Then What He Knows Now, Kerry Confirmed That He Would Still Have Voted For Use Of Force Resolution. SEN. JOHN KERRY: "Yes, I would have voted for the authority. I believe it's the right authority for a president to have. But I would have used that authority as I have said throughout this campaign, effectively. I would have done this very differently from the way President Bush has." (CNN’s "Inside Politics," 8/9/04)
8. September 2004: Kerry: Iraq Is "The Wrong War In The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time." "Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry on Monday called the invasion of Iraq ‘the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time’ and said his goal was to withdraw U.S. troops in his first White House term." (Patricia Wilson, " Kerry on Iraq: Wrong War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time", Reuters, 9/6/04)
9. September 2004: Kerry Says There Were No Circumstances Under Which We Should Have Gone To War, But He Was Still Right To Vote For It. IMUS: "Do you think there are any circumstances we should have gone to war in Iraq, any?" KERRY: "Not under the current circumstances, no. There are none that I see. I voted based on weapons of mass destruction. The President distorted that, and I've said that. I mean, look, I can't be clearer. But I think it was the right vote based on what Saddam Hussein had done, and I think it was the right thing to do to hold him accountable. I've said a hundred times, there was a right way to do it and a wrong way to do it. The president chose the wrong way. Can't be more direct than that." (MSNBC's "Imus In The Morning," 9/15/04)
10. Kerry Said That The Removal Of Saddam Hussein Has Left America "Less Secure." KERRY: "Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator who deserves his own special place in hell. But that was not, that was not in and of itself, a reason to go to war. The satisfaction - The satisfaction that we take in his downfall does not hide this fact: we have traded a dictator for a chaos that has left America less secure." (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks At New York University, New York, NY, 9/20/04)
11. Kerry On Whether The Iraq War Was Worth It: "It Depends On The Outcome." DIANE SAWYER: "Was the war in Iraq worth it?" KERRY: "We should not have gone to war knowing the information that we know today." SAWYER: "So it was not worth it?" KERRY: "We should not - it depends on the outcome ultimately, and that depends on the leadership." (ABC’s "Good Morning America," 9/29/04)
