if you're inta-merested...

Ok, sense I know everyone was waiting on the edges of their seats for this post and the update on the S-07, now the S2-07, S2-07lb, and the S2-07a, here it is. If nothing else, it was fun to paint.

once upon a college class...

I think that having done that increased my nerdiness by 37.1%; but that's ok, 'cause it was fun. The picture pretty much says it all, so I don't have to say much. Stay tuned... or webbed?... for updated on design and functionality. Oh, and the "S" stands for Skipper. And the 07 stands for 2007. That just seems to be the trend in giving weapons names or numbers.
Hmm, I should pull the foregrip off and see how it looks like that...

the shower is my philosophizing time

Teens and sometimes young adults have been steriotyped to be stubburn, rebellious, and generally a pain, always being told to "act their age" and/or to "grow up." And yes, it is true that we're silly alotta times, and that it's in this stage of life, as-it-were, that most of the dumb things people do are done. But guess what: adults, or should I say "adults" act silly too. Many times younger people are chastised for things they do when they are only doing as they see their elders do at times. Such a double standard will leave some people bumfuzzled and baffled, I mean, it doesn't make sense that a parent will act goofy and then two hours later tell you to stop acting goofy and that he/she "hate's silliness."
Many times, also, though, youthful peoples are discounted. By that I mean that those who are "older and more experienced" don't listen to wisdom that an adolescent may have; many automatically decide that sense it was a youth that made the choice that it is automatically a bad decision and that they should immediately reconsider and follow their exact counsel. We're steriotyped as the age at which we think we know everything, but guess what; older people don't know everything either. I'm not discounting that older people know more from experience and just having been on this place we call the earth longer, but somehow they get into their heads too often that they are an expert on life and everything they think or say is automatically a trump to anything anyone younger than them says. All that to say, just because one is older doesn't automatically mean that they are wiser, just because someone is younger doesn't automatically mean they are dumber. Yes, in general people are wiser as they get older, but wiser doesn't mean omniscient. All too often the older a person gets the more doors they close in their mind shutting out what others have to say. Full willing to give their advice or oppinion, but not giving the time of day to other's thoughts, especially not those younger, because God forbid that a youth have wisdom. But once again, just for further clarity, I'm not saying that everyone is like this, it just seems to be a trend at times.
But on the flip side, we (as in younger people) need to always keep in mind that we don't always know everything either, and yes we will make some stupid decisions, but just 'cause it seems like more are stupid than not doesn't mean they're all dumb. It seems that people at this age don't want to believe people older than them many times 'cause they don't want to believe the people younger than them. In other words, it's a repeating cycle that falls back on itself. We'll get older and probly do the same thing to our kids who will do it to their kids. Kindof depressing if you think about it.
Oh well, that's life. To quote my one and only recorded poem, "The wheels of the world keep spinning, /sometimes your caught in the middle/ sometimes your flung to the edge."
On a side note, I still really like that piece of verse. Maybe I'll try to perfect it or make it rhyme or something someday.

Also on another side note: Lindsay (manager @ McAlister's) is very quickly losing Donald-rep (a little insider there, I know). So far the tally of people that have quit, fired themselves (short story, but for another day), or gotten fired without reason is 3 (and there may be more I don't know about); Heather included. The other two were really good workers and cool people too, but Lindsay is convinced that no job will get done right unless she does it herself and that all (at least female) people working in the front are inferior to her. Feel my anger burn *sizzle sizzle*....

Ok, I'm done blogging for another week or two; besides, I gotta get back to Lit II study.

P.S. : I think I'm getting to like poetry... ah! the horror!! quick, punch me in the face to see if I'm asleep!
Which reminds me of an RvB quote:

[Tucker punches Church]
Church: OW! What was that for??
Tucker: I just wanted to see if I was dreaming.
Church: You don't punch somebody else to see if your dreaming! You have someone pinch you!
Tucker: ... There is no way I'm going to let you pinch me.
