Hey, everyone. Do me a big favor and read the short story I posted on the 12th. I could use some feedback, because I want to expand on it despite the fact I already turned it in for credit. Just leave a comment and tell me what you think about it. Thanks.

Wow. Just fucking wow.
I went to The Shadow Lounge with Kyna today to see her friend's skapunk band play. There were 4 other bands there as well, and the whole venue was just great. I don't think I've danced that much before in my life. I met a few new people who are really cool, got a buncha phone numbers, and found out that there is a chalkboard in the men's bathroom that had a giant flower with a penis drawn on it. The whole night was just incredible, indescribable, really. I'll get back to you people on that tomorrow. My body hurts.

I think today was my shining moment in John Don's class.
He asked how the Americans defeat the Japanese in WWII, expecting a response from a sane student with insight.
Not what he got.
What he did get was the sound of me whistling while making a spiraling hand motion downwards, followed by an explosion sound effect accompanied by my hands stretching out as though something had combusted inbetween them.
Everyone stared at me for a few seconds. And then they laughed. "Yeah, that about covers it."

The world needs some new philosophers. With all of our big achievements in conquest, technology, and other things that drive people farther apart, wouldn't it be nice to just have this new breakthrough philosophy like Confucionism or something to bring people back together?
Oh, and those shitty little quotes people come up with that say things like "Love is better than anything in the world! Teehee, I'm a cutesy turdface!" don't count.

Well, I decided to buy some athletic shoes yesterday under the pretense that they be made in America, thereby avoiding sweatshop manufacturing and other unethical labor. So, I went with New Balance. They were the only company I could find that manufactured their shoes in the US. I searched on Google for "Shoes and Sweatshop" to see if I could find any other companies that manufactured in the US. Here's the first thing I clicked on:
Nike now lets you personalize your shoes by submitting a word or
phrase which they stitch onto your shoes, under the swoosh.
So Jonah Peretti filled out the form and sent them $50 to stitch
SWEATSHOP onto his shoes.
Here's the response he got...
( * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * )
I thought that was kind of interesting. Nike really doesn't want people becoming aware of what they do. People say "Yeah, I know they're made in sweatshops, so what?" usually don't know just how horrible it actually is in one of them.
If you think about it, if Nike is somehow able to pay over a billion dollars a year on advertising, hiring celebrities such as Michael Jordan, Mia Hamm, and others for endorsements, you'd think they could afford to pay their manufacturers in Vietnam and China a little more than $1.50 an hour?

Wow, I haven't updated in forEVER. I've had 2 people (one threatened to castrate me) remind me to update this week, so what the hell?
It was my bday on Tuesday, for all you ignorant shits who didn't know that or just forgot. That was pretty cool. Iva surprised me by decorating my locker (while I was there) and stuffed it with confetti, a hair straightener, and the DVD for Cannibal! The Musical, the greatest movie EVER!
Desa baked me some brownies and surprised me later that night. Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
And then I got multiple "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" greetings from every which way. So that was a good day.
The Friday before that was when CIT weekend began. I had everything packed, and was ready to go. I popped open the trunk of my dad's car, and what did I find? A brand new Ovation acoustic-electric guitar! I nearly shit myself. Mom wanted me to be able to take it with me to KoK (kon-o-kwee) as an early bday present so I wouldn't be bored.... Like that could happen.
CIT weekend rocked. I was in the same group as Bobby Fucking Allan and Rachie girl. We had to carry giant-ass logs and put place them in the way of big hydraulic powered wedges that would split the wood. It was actually a lot of fun. Every once in awhile, a log would explode because the center of it was occupied by an ant colony. It was really cool. During the downtime, we chilled out around the lodge (which guys and girls shared, different rooms though) and just acted a damn fool all day long. It was great. KOK-LOVERS FOR LIFE!
So a lot has happened since my last update in March. Sorry I've been out of it. I'll get back in the habit of updating soon. Until then, catch you kids later.

Well, I got a reply from the company I got Pandora from on Ebay. Here it is:
Hi Daniel. I am very sorry about the problems with the guitar. I thought the strings were kind of high myself but I don't know enough about guitars to know any better. I'm surprised about the neck being warped. To the naked eye it looks fine. Let me talk to the Seller and see if he'll refund it. He brings us a lot of stuff to sell and I'll highly recommend that he take care of this. We sell things for other people on ebay and rely heavily on the information they give for the items we list for them. He's a very old friendly gentleman and I'm sure we can work something out. Don't worry. I know it's a lot of money for you and I would hate to see you get a raw deal. Give me a few days to see what we can work out.
Sincerely,
John
