Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Every year the time leading up to my birthday gets less and less awesome. It peaks out at about ten or eleven. Then you think about it months in advance awaiting a video game or a bicycle. Now I have enough money to buy what I need and most of what I want. Now I [...]

KAUST made us fill out some information for a yearbook – that is for before we actually go to school together. It will be printed and distributed this summer.

Jon Stewart: snake oil salesman

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

A little bit ago Jim Cramer was on the Daily Show. Jon Stewart got on his high horse about how he is a snake oil salesman just like Cramer. I think he fears that there are a few million of us that rely on him for information. I try to know what is happen in [...]

Give Me Novocaine / my 5 to 9 job / I will sleep when I’m dead?!?

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
