Well, it's been..what...5 days. Some people did warn me that this whole website thing was really exciting at first...and that then you were kind of like....eh. I still think it's going to be cool, especially once I move to China. Anyways..back to news. Michael Jackson is out, good stuff, only 3 million closer to bankrupt, or so I hear. Thats messed up, poor guy spending all his money on kids and sex toys, and now he's like broke. Neverland is gonna have to go.
Today I saw a preview from Ryan Ward's DVD for the Fall '02 and Spring '03 seasons. I must say it is a big step from the first DVD he made. Good job Ryan. I also want to mention that all the photographic work in it is made by me! (with the exception of a fiew shots of the boat that for obvious reasons I could not take). I will sell it for $15.00 dollars through this website. Just get in touch with me through e-mail and I'll make sure a copy is sent to you.
Also, since Ryan is a pretty funny guy, and a good crew friend, I'm going to have a "Ryan Column". So look forward to that. For those of you who don't know Ryan here are some of pictures of him. He basically looks like a member of the Colombian guerrilla. Seriously. So here it is, I think he deserves a fair introduction if he's going to be writing here.
Oh, and ladies, don't even bother standing in line for he has been recently taken.

So they are about to put Michael Jackson in jail. I just don't get it, we all have our obsessions, his is hanging out with little kids. LET HIM BE!!! the guy is a genius for crying out loud. Anyone that doesn't think MJ is a musical god just doesn't know a thing about music. He has donated millions of dollars to his "Heal the World" foundation since 1992 whose goals include providing medicine for children, fighting world hunger, drug and alcohol abuse, and child abuse (ironically). The point is, this guy not only knows how to sing and dance, but he has made a difference in the world (to some extent), and now he goes to jail because a little kid spends the night with him at Neverland?? And who tells them to go there in the first place? don't they have their parents consent for a sleep-over?? Or do they just run out of their homes in the middle of the night, get on MJ's private jet parked outisde their front yard and fly there with him?? I mean, it's not like Michael hangs out at the local mall and meets 12 year olds in the Imaginarium store. If it is true he did have sex with them, they knew what they were getting into. Everyone in the world is too busy trying to be a grown-up and mature......mature? what? who defines that? "What we need to learn from children isn't childish. Being with them connects us with the deeper wisdom of life which is ever-present and only asks to be lived." (MJ, 1992) Has anyone ever read "Le Petit Prince" by Antoine de St Exupery? (The Little Prince). If you haven't you should. And here, check out these facts, because I know there are a lot of MJ haters out there probably laughing at me as I defend him.
He retired a while ago, why can't they just let they guy live his lonely crazy life. And as crazy as he is (which genius in the past wasn't), he just loves being with little kids. And if he does molest them, well they had it coming anyways. At least the get to visit his 2,600-acre ranch in Santa Barbara. That's all I have to say about Michael. I still think he's a god when it comes to music.

Today at 2pm is Doug's last performance in a collection of plays written and directed by GMU students called: Fall Shorts. Out of 12 plays we agreed 10 were good because one sucked and the the chick didn't show up for the other one, so we only saw 10. Doug interprets a young suicidal male going through a life crisis while his wife leaves him without any bandaids. This short, titled Mad World, is Doug's first performance in college. The girl he was playing with is unfortunately married and her husband refused to let her kiss Doug as the script in the play would have desired to. That would have been Doug's first kiss on stage.

So our men's basketball team played against the All Stars. I don't know who they are, but man, they just didn't know what hit them: 113-61. Wow. Hopefully we can do the same thing against those Terps on november 25th at the Comcast center. I think tickets are $35 dollars for us. They'll be worth it. Also, what is with the wind. Apparently Isabel only managed to piss some people off, so now we get this uncalled little hurricane. Power went out during half-time in the Patriot Center. It was interesting. Trees keep falling all around the place, and power comes and goes.
Feliz cumpleanos a mi hermana Andrea: 26. Feliz cumpleanos a mi primita Emilia Atuesta....18. Y que vivan los cumpleanos porque los odio. Para mi son una fecha mas. Han pasado o hemos hecho cosas mas importantes en la vida como para tener que celebrar el dia en que la placenta de nuestras madres decidieron romperese involuntariamente. En fin, odio mi cumpleanos.

Okay, here's some pretty interesting information that just came to me. A female friend of mine, (whose name I promised to keep confidential) was in her room, a little too bored, and decided it would be nice to take some pictures of her room to send to her father back home. Funny thing, this person likes to hang around naked all the time, and decided she'd take some pictures of herself topless. Well, one thing led to another and the wrong attachment was sent. Now, her dad has a picture of his naked daughter sitting in his inbox. Any comments?

My boss gave his CPR to his dog. It had a stroke this morning. Apparently there is such thing as "mouth-to-snout" resuscitation. Time for laundry, nite.

Well I just got back from watching The Matrix Revolutions, and just like the Oracle says, "everything that has a beginning must have an end"...well thank god that was the end of that. I mean, go watch it if you've seen the previous two, but I won't promise anything out of the ordinary or different from Neo and Smith kicking their asses to the point where they should both be dead. But of course that doesn't happen....because "they believe". Right.

Okay, after several attempts and some help from my friend Nelson, this is my first website. It will change with time, but here's a start. Now I must go read for my journalism law class, and fail the quiz, again.

So I went to deltaville this weekend, a friend of Jarret's has a beach house down there. It was only a matter of getting to the parking lot for me to realize that I had a group presentation that night. Anyways, the purpose of the trip was to fix a wooden bridge that goes over a pond to the beach. It was completely destroyed after the hurricane. We finished it.
