My halloween pants are sooo hot. I'm going to wear them more often. Now I just need to find my dad's old shirt that said "Resin glass your ass". awwwww yeah.

In other news:
A new study from the National School Safety Center (NSSC)
reported that there were 15 "school-associated deaths" caused by
violent crime -- including guns -- during the 1999-2000 school year.

By comparison, 15 high school football players died during
regular season and playoff games in 1999, according to the National
Federation of State High School Associations.

"Protecting the lives of young people who play high school
football is the job of parents, school officials, and coaches, not politicians."

Seriously. Save yourself. from football? fuck no! from politicians.

Below are some suggestions for the student constitution i sent to the student council...some clarifications I am requesting in order to make it a defined dictatorship, to differ from the tyranical one that exists today, run by heresay.
--------
Where a student is allowed to be when.

ex.
I didn't know we were allowed to use the gym to play basketball.

Where a student isn't allowed to be when.

ex.
You're not allowed to throw a lacrosse ball at the wall outside Mrs. Rooney's Room.

The reason behind the creation of such a document is so that when I am breaking a rule, I can ask to see this rule, and be presented it. If I am playing lacrosse outside, and I request to see a written copy of the rule I am in violation of, such a document can not be presented to me. That is absurd. They should also be accessable for common reference (web).

Where can I find a computer? I didnt know 152 was a computer lab open for lab time.

Where do I go if I lost something? Does this school even have a lost and found?
I kinda need an answer to that.

I didn't know I couldn't play with a ballon in the hallway. I would like to be shown this.

Am I allowed to watch the TV in the breezeway on a different channel? Am I allowed to connect a CD player and use it as an amplifier? What do I do if I find it turned to the price is right?

Also, there should be documented consequences.

Am I allowed to brew coffee with a coffee-maker in the hallway? Am I allowed to plug things into the electrical outlets in the lockers? What about laptops?

If I bring in a laptop, can I use the schools network? What about hard drives? How are they different from floppies? Can I connect any hardware to the schools hardware, or network?

Where is it document that, to put up posters in the hallways, they have to be OKd by Mrs Lisa?

is the CCA room even open any more? Whats the cybercafe? when is the common area open?

Are we allowed to move the blue benches in the hallways? Where do they belong?

Are we allowed to remove the black armrests from the seats in the auditorium? (I almost got staple mods for this). I know this can be argued to common sense, but the point here is, when had I been told this?

Are we allowed to jump over garbage cans in the cafeteria? (I GOT staple mods for this)

Am I allowed to play music in the hallway? How loud? Guitars? Radios?

Public display of effection?

I still don't know where some of the bathrooms are. There should be a map. With bathrooms and computer labs, and their respective open times.

Am I allowed to put a sticker on the outside of my locker? Write on it in dry erase pen? Inside of my locker? What about birthday decorations?

Am I allowed to be outside the school (on campus) during lunch? During non-lunch hours? Down by the river?

Am I allowed to sleep in the hallways?

what _is_ the schools formal standing on chewing gum? Jolly ranchers, etc? Are they considered food, and can thus not be eaten in the hallways? Where is it stated that I can't eat in the hallways?

What words can't I say in school? poop? ( i know someone who said this in a mail last year and was yelled at)

What is considered community service? Helping a congressman?

As stated in the cafeteria "No Food or Drinks Outside Cafeteria", this means that once i bring my lunch in, it can't leave the room, even if i don't eat it. Weird, huh? That rule just doesn't work.

Why wasn't governor Whitman wearing an ID? What course of action do I take if I see an individual without an ID in the building? Do I have a right to order them to the office? I see people walk in the breezeway all the time, and they just ignore me. If I have to wear it, Governor Whitman and all her little helpers sure do. What about people such as Mr Bennet, who comes from Teterboro to coach sports, and is here at 3:30. Shouldn't he have an ID? This rule needs to be BLACK and WHITE. NO GRAY.


It's all these kind of things. THe constitution should be a running list of regulations, updated as seen fit. (for example, when the benches were added to the hallways, a bench rule would have been added). Too many rules exist in heresay.
-------

Someone asked me if I'm aloud to say mindfuck on my webserver in school today. Hell ya! I can say whatever I want. But what about PC they ask? Fuck PC. Now the fact that your reading that on a school computer, that makes you a criminal. Go figure.

In the 1960s, a student at Harvard Law School addressed parents and alumni with these words:

"The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is
threatening us with her might. And the republic is in danger. Yes! danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without law and order our nation cannot
survive." When the applause died down, the

student quietly told his listeners: "These words were spoken in 1932 by Adolf Hitler."

More quality quoting from Howard Zinn. I gotta read me one of his books... but which one? They all look soo good...Mmmm..

Ok, mindfuck time.

How do computers handle daylight savings time? No...really... With all the talk of y2k, how did they figure out daylight savings time? Date sensitive operations must get blown completely off their rocker. This one time I wrote a date sensitive script and ended up using unix 'ticks' and dividing by 60*60*24 to get the net amount of days. days, months, leap years fuck it all up.
I wonder...

I'm going to add a static content section. With wack shit like NOFX lyrics. Damn right. And Quotes. A Whole lot of em. Which reminds me I have about a ga'billion just laying in my inbox. But what use is my mail account if I can't get any mail! users.bergen.org = down = no mail for me = I blog. Damnit.

The engineer in me loves courier. MMmmmm..uniform spacing between characters.

And for the halloween costume thing, I could be a kkk guy. that would be sick. No, that's wrong. Columbine is funny. hehe. I'm going to hell.

I just spent the past few hours making this page a better place when I should've spent em making this world a better place. Go figure. Archives are now up, amoung other things. Well, thats the only real improvement that's noticeable...Lots of SSI and fun code ish, too.

My hands are cold from sitting still so long, need to type a lot to heat up.

So I was trying to make a system floppy for my router, when I get major partitioning problems with my linux (servix)'s drive. So I go to reformat it with an OpenBSD CD (the HD was a fresh install), and when I go to reboot to the Red Hat installer, the CDROM falls off the computers side, where its been balancing (the computer is open, on my floor, to make installation easy), and starts making one of the scariest sounds EVER. It tries to eject itself. I flip the computer off, and when I play a little with the CD-ROM, and get out the Red Hat CD, it's scratched up the wazoo. Crap. So not only will I not get my router up, I'm without my main box. Time to go get RH 6.2! (7.0 sucks according to the /. crew)

fuck.

And on that devilish note, I thought of _the_ worst Halloween costume EVER. If I wear this to school I'll get expelled for sure. Go dressed as a kid from Columbine. Think about it thou.. Halloween is meant to scare you. What's the scariest thing a school kid could see? A trench coated shooter! hehehehe..

The main page is now the lyrics for NOFX - The Decline.

To steal a line from yobeat.com, I'd like to admit that I've been playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 a bit too much, or as I now affectionately call it, crack. It's good crack...really good crack.

Damnit. I should shower now.

Damn..
I missed my first day of posting, o well.

I've been busy trying to get my linux router up. My head hurts. Daylight savings time is welcomed.

work work work.

Quotes Zinn

The high school years must be the most important years in shaping the social consciousness of young people, because at no other level do parents and schoolofficials become more hysterical at the possibility that the students will be exposed to ideas which challenge the authority of governmwnt, of school administrations,
of parents.

...the tiniest acts of protest in whlich we engage may become the invisible roots of social change.


yeep.

This is what I wrote to the aast2002@bergen.org and aedt2002@bergen.org today...

----------------------------

With Mr Sayegh's democratic affiliation, I felt it necessary to offer a different opinion in the 2000 election. Granted, his position hasn't gone beyond the congressional race with which his actions are directly related, but partisanship has no place in an educational institution, meant for opening the doors to new philosophies. Now I don't agree with all aspects of the Libertarian Party, specifically Gun Control, but this message is compiled to offer a difference of opinion, because that's what learning is all about, analyzing the whole picture. I will be registering for 5 hours of community service for my research. In the event that I do not receive these hours, please understand that I will do everything in my power to bring justice to the ludicrous community service which has been awarded for partisan activity. My peers, please attempt to realize the obsurdity of such 'community service hours'. Personally, over the next few weeks I will be logging hours for campaigning for Linsalata-2012. How bout them apples?

Now to the issues where Harry Browne, Libertarian Candidate for US President, differs.

What if, instead of asking "Who are you going to vote for?" one poll was done that simply asked: "Of the 216 candidates for President, who would you prefer the winner to be?"

If people started to realize that it was Gore who was taking the votes away from Browne and Nader, and not the other way around, things might be very different.


The Libertarian philosophy is very simple:
You are better able to make decisions for your life than any politician is.

Browne on Government:
"...(Government) doesn't aid progress, it hinders it. Government is politics, not progress. Government is bureaucracy, inefficiency, and brute force. It is the least desirable, least effective and least likely to succeed means of getting anything accomplished."

and why is he running?
Sometimes, to change the system, you have to be a part of the system.

Browne on Computer Encryption and Privacy:
"No one should prevent you from encrypting anything you want, and the government should have no access to your encrypted messages, unless you want it to.

I favor a total absence of export controls. They are not used for national security. They are used to favor those with access to political power and to harm the competitors of those with access to political power. "

Browne on Tax Cuts:
"If there were a surplus, that's money were being overtaxed. If, on the other hand, there's a deficit, that's money that's a debt our children will have to pay. "

Browne on Drugs:
"The question I most wanted to ask Al Gore and George Bush in the debates was, "Would you be a better person today if, for your youthful indiscretions, you had spent 10 years in prison? If not, why do presume to sentence young people to punitive sentences for doing nothing more than "experimenting" with drugs as you did?

"The War on Drugs has been every bit as successful as the War on Poverty, the War on Prostitution, and the War on Gambling - meaning it's been an absolute failure. As with other wars, the War on Drugs has bred enormous crime, corruption, and expense. I want to end the nightmare of Prohibition - with its black market, criminal gangs, drive-by shootings, bootleg drugs, and corrupt law enforcement.

I'm [...] committed to ending this insane war on our civil liberties."

Browne on Abortion:
"I believe abortion is wrong. And, even more, I believe that involving the federal government in areas for which it has no constitutional authority is very wrong. [...] My position on abortion is far less important than my understanding that government is not the answer to social problems (NOTE: this embodies the libertarian philosophy!).

There is nothing in the Constitution authorizing the federal government to deal with abortion in any way. The federal government shouldn't subsidize it, encourage it discourage it, or prohibit it.

The President takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution."

On a unpartisan note, you can find your candidate as choosen through issues at http://www.speakout.com/votematch/index.asp

Please also look at this page for information on candidates standings on issues.
http://www.issues2000.org/Candidate_Grid.htm

Now, to conclude my mailing, I would like to add a disclamer. I do not necessarily agree with Candidate Browne. I am sharing his views because they are views, and need to be heard. I chose Brown over Nader because he has a stronger distinction on issues. Visit the homepage of the Libertarian Party at: http://www.lp.org/ and http://njlp.org/. Visit the Ralph Nader homepage at http://www.votenader.com.

Thank you for your time.

holy shit. 10:00:00 PM. woa.


TODO: Add a link to the archives. And delete messages like this.

Cybercrime treaty targets hackers. That pisses me off beyond belief. Check slashdot.org for the high quality debating.

Its my job to keep punk rock elite. I can't wait till the Quicksilver store opens, so that I can get me some punk clothes, Im barely surviving this whole 'trendy faze'. Fuck that. Unless they're mad expensive. That would suck.

Z100 stands for everything I hate. Fuck them. To quote NOFX - "Its so easy to defend the status quo"... from 180 degrees. Good song, good message. Pop culture represents everything I hate.

People are calling me a 'troublemaker/nonconformist'. They think I do it to be different. I say fuck that. I do it to be me. I saw an amazing sticker at the catch 22 show a few weeks ago. "Punk is whatever you make it to be." I am that whatever. I'm a troublemaker because I have an opinion, and I'm not afriad to share it. Thats why Im a libertarian. woo. Browne or Nader? Gore. Discussed this already.

I have to rewrite my chem lab becuase I worked with a friend and the teacher didn't tell us we couldn't work together, so I have to make it look different. >=[ Cock.

I GOT DSL today. Well, sorta. I still have to wait until November 6th. Damnit. So close, yet soooo far. 640k/256k -- woo.

Its 10 o'clock, do you know where your kids are?

Crap. Im supposed to be doing my english essay-- wait, no. Its a paragraph. blah blah blah. "Focus on the elements of the paragraph". Well I got a 91 on my essay, so suck it bitch! Nah, not really. Mrs JD is cool. Im doing well, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Plus, add another day to the number of days that I haven't done my history essay, crap.

So anyway, speaking of the z100 concert, thats tomorow, that I won't be attending. Silly z100 whores. Besides being the radio counterpart of MTV, they made fun of our school on the air! And our school is sucking their dicks. IDs must be worn at all times during the concert. wooooow. The schools administation is really bitching out on this one, idolizing z100 as 'the' station to listen to. Well, pop culture fits into their system very nicely. When I see their system I can only smile, knowing that I have put myself above them.

I've been debating on whether or note to unleesh the beast of debate, the congressional fillatio, on this blog. . .

Well, heres the case, its 9:34, and I don't feel like starting my english. A certain history teacher, Mr. Sayegh, has an affiliation with a certain political party, the democrats. Now don't get me wrong, in the upcoming election I support Al Gore, falling back on the realization that a vote for nader is a vote for Bush. HATE Bush. On the speakout.com poll, I was matched as a strong libritarian, but gore was a close 3rd, after nader. ANYWAY, Mr Sayegh works for Congressman Pascrall (sp?) who is up for reelection in the Paterson district of NJ, and Mr S offered students the "opportunity to get involved in the political process". 15$/hour = good. The task was to 'distribute campaign literature'. haha. propoganda. OK, its paid, all good, whatever. Then comes the issue of Community Service. Students began recieving COMMUNITY SERVICE for FORWARDING the CAREER of a CANDIDATE for CONGRESS. Sporadic caps, I know, but seriously, how is that community service?!?!?!?! MY GOD. Fuck you Mr Congressman. My current stand is that I am eligable for community service for assisting the campaign UGANDER2012. I am bettering my education on issues infor my future political stride. WHY THE FUCK NOT? It gets better. For November 7th, there is a planned school trip to the campaign headquarters, where students will assist the congressman. This task is rewarded with 12 HOURS of community service. Ok, it gets better. The trip is mandatory! my god! By mandatory, I mean not attending means a 4 page essay on the electorial process.

Now off the case and onto the issues. How can a politically-partisan school activity be allowed? HOW? How can a madatory trip offer community service hours? How does helping a congressional candidate warrent community service?!? Give me a good answer to any of those questions and I'll buy you a snapple. A school is a place for facts to be presented and cases to be anylized, not a place for political partisanship! GOD DAMN IT.

Ok, I HAVE to do my english essay now.

I need to update my CV. maybe some other year. Somebody in my class asked me who I'm writing to. I don't know. Everyone. Noone. Time to define a blog:

From blogger.com: "A blog is a web page made up of usually short, frequently updated posts that are arranged chronologically -- like a what's new page or a journal. The content and purposes of blogs varies greatly -- from links and commentary about other web sites, to news about a company/person/idea, to diaries, photos, poetry, mini-essays, project updates, even fiction.

Blogs posts are like instant messages to the web.

Many blogs are personal, "what's on my mind" type musings. Others are collaborative efforts based on a specific topic or area of mutual interest. Some blogs are for play. Some are for work. Some are both.

Blogs are also excellent team/department/company/family communication tools. They help small groups communicate in a way that is simpler and easier to follow than email or discussion forums. Use a private blog on an intranet to allow team members to post related links, files, quotes, or commentary. Set up a family blog where relatives can share personal news. A blog can help keep everyone in the loop, promote cohesiveness and group culture, and provide an informal "voice" of a project or department to outsiders."

basically. Now I just need to change the link color. "just". haha.

long live slashmed.org!

So ya. Im sitting here in Design class, trying to find the material coefficients of balsa wood, and Im blogging. woo for me.

Isn't it funny how Disney makes Quasimodo a cute loveable character, when, by definition, quasi-modo means half human. The power of Disney. wow. Well ya, thats what I thought about in french class all day. blaaah.

I must seek further into the balsa wood industry. Im out

So, my very first real blog.

I guess a lot of these are going to come in scenario's like this, where I am supposed to be doing other (school) work.. in this case a chem lab. Im such a bum. Lets just hope that Mr. Sayegh doesn't find out that I didn't do the history essay on the movie. (our little secret). Mr. Sayegh = History. Repeat. The chem lab is pretty damn easy, and its just sitting there staring at me. damnit.

Fuck. I need to clean my room. (looks around to see computer parts everywhere. and clothes. a whole lot of clothes) I might get trojan man up and running this weekend, off of LRP. maybe? maybe. Blasted verizon and they're pppoe. It'll work though, cus i'm a 31337 h4x0r d00d. Routing and Logging and Portforwarding, o my! DHS looks like my best bet for dnyDNS right now. mmm...free. Plus free linux shell scripts. I wrrrrike it!

Netscape 5 better not suck.

So ya, I'm lost. Punk? Trendy? Punk? Trendy? I dunno. I really wanna be punk, but I need more hoodies and the likes. But remember kids, Punk is whatever you make it. Whats more punk? not giving a fuck. yeep. If erik's gonna rastify it, i think im gonna dye it blue. My hair you ask? No, my pubes, fucknut. Im gonna do it damnit. DAMNIT. Next show I go to I'm gonna wear a white dress shirt and be hardcore. werd. repeat, punk is whatever the fuck you make it. am i punk? I wish I were. I'm gettin there, but not quite. I cant say it with confidence yet. By the time NOFX rolls around I'm gonna make it my job to keep punk rock elite.

Damn chem lab. Looking in the Stalker book (school directory), I can't tell if Kelly Cosman (some sophmore) is a girl or a boy. Having pictures in a school directory makes it very stalker-esque. Go figure.

I want to read the Code Book. Cryptography is neeto.

If you're in the US, call 1-800-888-3999, and wait for option 7.

Speaking of countries. Do åäö work in blogger? We'll know soon enough.

Now I'm afraid Im gonna run out of things to say..can that happen? nah... I wish I were like Dr. Mayers. He's my idle. The fucking man. I'll explain some other time.

/nutt

Note to self: explain what a blog is. Change link colors.

Now don't say you don't love the random quote. They're cute. Send me quotes if you haven any good ones and I just might add 'em.

Now to do the FUCKING CHEM LAB. (note the time)

Ya, Im new to this, I'll get the hang of it. Keep your pants on. geez.
The title is from MAD. be learned, damnit.
