nothing too noble

I'm not travelling, so I don't have any cool stories....

and I havn't been reading some good book, so I don't have anything interesting...

I havn't been closely following politics, so I've got nothing controversial...

and I'm not really involved with anything humanitarian right now, so I've got nothing noble...


I've got trash.

I'm wondering... does anyone else find the degredation of marriage kinda funny? Like when people drunkenly get married in Las Vegas, and then annul it a day later??????

I mean, if people mean it, they mean it.........and to stay married a long time is a great thing. But for someone to take some institution, that means to much to some people, and completley humiliate its "sanctity"....i find the effort involved in this humiliaton a bit funny. I don't think it takes the meaning away from real marriages...........just serves as a real strong sorce of irony or contradiction, when someone makes a pact saying "forever" and then six months (or 24 hours) later decides to completely ditch the whole thing.

Ah yes...America

Texas town renames itself 'Dish' to get free TV
2 hours, 13 minutes ago

CHICAGO (AFP) - A Texas town has changed its name to DISH in exchange for 10 years of free satellite television service.

All 125 residents of the town formerly known as Clark will get basic service and a free digital video recorder satellite TV receiver, a move that has some people joking that the Fort-Worth suburb will become a town of couch potatoes.

"We joke that in ten years everyone will come out and say wow when they see the light," said secretary Michelle Going, 32. Going is not worried that her three boys will go square-eyed because she is going to stick to her old rules of only allowing two hours of television a day, and only after homework and dinner.

And the new system also has parental controls which will allow her to limit the channels the boys can watch.

Despite the jokes, the switch is incredibly popular, said Mayor Bill Merritt. The city council meeting to vote on the name was packed on Tuesday night and about 12 people -- 10 percent of the town's population -- stood up to support the name change, which passed unanimously.
"I'm sure there are some people who are attached to the name (Clark) like the man who founded the town and named it after himself," he told AFP Wednesday. "At the meeting last night we had no naysayers."

The town made the change for more than just a 50 dollar monthly savings per household, Merritt said. The hope is that publicity and a budget-neutral giveaway will lure new residents.
"The getting our name out there is working and the second part is really to market ourselves - come here and you get something out of it," he said.

The best part of the contract, Merritt said, is the free television will be extended to anyone who moves to Dish and any land that is later annexed by the town. The new town signs, designed and paid for by DISH Network, were a bonus.





I'd change my name to Dish for free TV.
What would you change your name to for free stuff?

I made cinnamon rolls this morning...

Are you in?

I'm in!

After about a year exploiting my blog perversions merely as a voyeur...I'm ready to begin my exhibitionism as a willing participant in the blogging world! Welcome Eric!

I think that part of my readyness to blog was realizing that I need more and more things to occupy my time and keep me further distracted from homework and other important things. I'm in my last year of college, and sick of it. Well, actually...I really like college. Just not too big a fan of the classes, etc. But yeah... working at half-ass jobs, eating poorly, drinking heavily, living sans-routine, wearing dirty clothes....its quite nice. I figure once all my friends have signed off MSN or AIM and only crap's on TV... I'll pour my writing talents into entertaining blog entries--certainly not the 40 page paper on Chile thats soon due--informing a few friends, hopefully some strangers too, on what's going on (or not) in my life. So yeah... I'm not promising much... but in my last couple of weeks I've had some definite blog-worthy stories to tell, and well...its just too bad that I wasn't "in" then, cause they were some good ones! But yeah, we'll see where the days ahead take me...and I'm sure they'll be some embarassing things to tell about myself to keep you all entertained.

See you soon
