| After being a Xanga Official Member since March of 2006, I finally added some new profile pictures and customized my profile! I feel really good about it. Its about Idaho. The interesting and tricky thing is not that it is just "about" Idaho, but it is themed to be in the colors of the University of Idaho. Neat huh?
I kind of like the word neat. I've heard this particular word be slandered against, and I don't understand, what a great way to express your like of something!
Anyways, I'm sitting in Sociology 101 right now at North Idaho College. I just finished a tense, and somewhat hostile discussion about conservatism vs. liberalism vs. moderatism. My brother will be glad to read this. I think moderatism is kind of an easy way out. A way of not really taking a stand on anything just to avoid conflict.

So,
I am taking this ethics class at school. There is several
annoying people in this class. One person in particular I am
having an extremely hard time getting along with. I think I am
going to start a book of things NOT to say in class.
1. "I'm anti-american!" Now normally, I suppose this is an
allowable thing to say because of free speech and all that. She failed
to take into consideration that sitting DIRECTLY behind her was a US
soldier that had just returned from Iraq. I just don't get some
people.

| So,
school started two weeks ago, and I'm already COMPLETELY
overwhelmed. My classes this semester require a lot of reading,
and it just hit me right off the bat. Not even an easy syllabus
reading day. I had homework in every single class on my first
day. I guess I should expect that now that I'm in college.
Anyways, a little bit under four months until I get married!
Woohoo! I'm really excited but extremely nervous at the same
time. The great unknown. I don't like stepping out of my
comfort zone.
Sigh...back to my school work.

| well, to appease my very large audience that has been clamoring for
more writings, I think I'll join the trend that seems to be sweeping
over my very same audience and make a list of random words and somehow
try to have an explanation for why they should make sense to someone
reading them.
cheese
football
folders
post cards
plastic bags
cat hair
Ikea
plaid everything
scruffy facial hair
suspenders
power tools
anchor bolts
stains
So there is my list. Now I shall attempt to create a common thread (ex. "things that make my world go round").

I can't think of any explanation except that I'm alittle bit shocked at how far my mind can wander in about 20 seconds.

| So, I go to work the other day, and I'm told to go to this job thats been going for quite some time (I remodel houses). I'm thinking, "boy, I will probably be vacuuming or cleaning or maybe even framing or siding, something like that." I arrive at the jobsite, go inside, and ask my co-workers Bob and Tom (no relation to the radio show) what my task is for the day. My job was to completely demolition the entire master bathroom. Tile shower, tub, backsplash, everything had to go. Now, this task ordinarily would seem quite simple and no big deal, EXCEPT, we just finished remodelling and installing the bathroom last week. Yes, I went and and completely tore out a bathroom that we had just installed. I was ticked off. All because some stupid architect seems to think that he knows more about the materials used to build the thing better than they guys that installed the materials. Yes, the architect was "concerned" about the type of backing we used behind the tile. Thought maybe it might be "subpar" because it was a material he had never heard of. Lame.
Thats all I have. Sorry. | | |
