Welcome back.

Way to go, Scholar.
You got Trojans on yo' computa'.
But thank god you have 8 Mech skill points, or otherwise you wouldn't be posting this.


So yeah, the reason I haven't been here was because my PC got infected, and I had to ship it off to some mystical wizard in the West, and he fixed it.


I would explain more, talk about my day past week or two, but I'm REAAALLLLY tired right now. A lot's been going on. I'll make a longer, more personal blog tomorrow.


Unless I get trojan'd.




OH GOD NO PLEASE DONT LE

I like food.

I really like food.
This is how I show my joy:

Beautiful haiku, if I do say so myself.



Random food linkage time!:

Recipes in 140 characters or less:
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/shortest-recipes-ever-5-dinners-in-140-characters-or-less-2396242/

The only thing bad with this is that it really is confusing in some places. It took me a while to understand that "Mix c flr/1/3c brsug/t bkgpdr&SweetSpice/1/4t salt" actually stood for "Mix a cup of flour with with 1/3 cup of brown sugar....." okay, just kidding, I don't even what the hell a ""bkgpdr" is. But I'm sure there are people out there who twitter AND cook at the same time.

But seriously, that Carbonara and Unfried Chicken looks good.




The Best Bacon Recipes:
http://shine.yahoo.com/channel/food/the-best-bacon-recipes-2397479/

You would think that bacon by itself is great. Maybe some eggs, maybe some cereal. Well, I'd like to kindly inform you that you are oh so very, very wrong. You can out bacon on salad, you can put bacon on meatloaf, you can put bacon on bacon, etc, etc. Just view some of those food recipes, you uneducated bacon behemoth.


Speaking of bacon...
Tactical Bacon.

One of my favorite places to shop online, ThinkGeek, sells a plethora of geeky stuff. It's funny sometimes, it's helpful at other times, and it's downright geeky at all times. But this can right here... when the zombies come into town, and rations are running low, you can pull this beaut right here, and be heralded as the savior of your people! The pre-cooked bacon can last 10 years, until you open it. When you open it, you better start gorging on it, cause I'm pretty sure fridges are kinda rare during zombie apocalypses for some reason.

Look in the sidebar for that website, and you WILL find more bacon related stuff. You may lose money on that site, but it's worth it's weight in bacon. Yummy, fatty, delicious bacon.


And now, here's a chart:

How does a knork work? You can't cut AND stab at the same time!

Have a good day!

Sarah Palin is gonna have a reality show.

Well, um...


huh...

Not really sure how I can express this in words...

300.

300 followers.
Oh my sweet-and-sour-sauce on my chickens.
300.

THREE HUNDRED.

This is how I imagine all of my followers.

I just wanna say thanks guys. I might have been moonlighting as schollar who doesn't do very many schollar-y things, but I'm just gonna take a moment to bask in this glory of  
300 followers.


You know things are serious when I'm using Large, bolded, underlined, and italic Helvetica font. My god. Look at that red highlighting.

300.



And speaking of fonts:
http://interactimage.com/
There's a bunch of fonts up in there. Use it if you're one of those artistic peoples.


And let's say you do need a typeface for something:

This infographic right here will show you which font to use!!....if you're into that kinda stuff


Speaking of 300, the guy who directed the film is directing the newest Superman film. I sure do hope more slow-motion shenanigans ensue. And Gerald Butler, aka King Leo, is gonna be in a biopic about Sam Childers, a biker preacher-defender of Sudanese orphans. The movie is called "Machine Gun Preacher." Go wiki it up. Very awesome name, in my opinion.



Well, I'm just gonna go mind my studies now. School is getting less-suckish...well, except for math. I really fucking hate math. But besides that, school is kinda fun. Cool people, awesome friends, decent amount of studying. And I got a few party invites for the next few weekends. Things are looking up!


Have a good day.

Random musical linakge time

Not much to say for this post. Just gonna post some interesting music finds:

http://www.myspace.com/thecetanclawsonrevolution
The Cetan Clawson Revolution.
A rock guitarist, he's pretty good.
I recommend listening to "White Heat." It's quite nice.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLJf9qJHR3E
Mumford and Sons- Little Lion Man
M&S is a folk band, and I just started listening to them a week ago. I don't know why, but I REALLY like them.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z504h8Kynxs
Tarantula- To Feel the Light.
It's a Portuguese Power Metal band, but this song is quite soothing.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh8WgY2SBrM
Firewind- Mercenary Man
This song is just cool.
as well as their acoustic version:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPA1pjza-Wk
I feel like rescuing someone, or something!



And finally we have Napalm Death's "You Suffer"
For those who can only spare 5 seconds a day listening to music, here you go:

World Stats

I know there are some dudes out there who like looking at statistics and like making equations out of them, and what not.

I am not among them.





But this site is really cool:
http://www.worldometers.info/

It's a world stats site that constantly updates itself. Some of the stats are slowly increasing, such as births today, while some are freaking insane, like the healthcare costs in the U.S


And some really make you think, like the billions of tons of food produced this year, and the amount of people who've died of hunger.



Even if you don't really like numbers, take a gander. It's really something.



Have a good day.

Proposition 19

also known as the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010.

California is having a state-wide ballot on Nov 2nd, that if passed, Prop 19 would legalize various marijuana-related activities, allow local governments to regulate these activities, permit local governments to impose and collect marijuana-related fees and taxes, and authorizes various criminal and civil penalties.

If it does pass, the sale of marijuana still remains illegal because of the Controlled Substance Act.

[More or less copy+pasted from Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_19_%282010%29 ]




I skimmed over the Wikipedia article, and made my opinions, but what do my followers think?




For or against?






And how are you doing?

Yes, the last post never happened.

I just realized it was REAAAALLLYYY terrible.
I'm kind of a terrible person.


I'm just gonna go play Left 4 Dead now, and kill zombies, and whatnot.

No.

Disregard this post.

With the US State Department issuing a “travel advisory” for Europe...

Source:

http://tinyurl.com/28hqor9


The above is a link for any Americans traveling to Europe, and how they can best be safe. Some of these steps are a little...er, "biased" such as Number 8: "Don't look American." Yes, I know you shouldn't be doing the obvious like wearing the American flag, eating apple pie, and chanting the name of your sports team, but really now, I dunno if American tourists stand out too much. Maybe our accents, and maybe we say "color" rather than "colour" but really now.

Some of the rules are actually decent, like "Avoid Embassies or glamorous hotels," and then there are some that just make me shake my head.



That's just me complaining about life. Europe is awesome and stuff, and visiting there would be cool, but for now, I'll just relax in my humble abode here in Washington.



And now here's a bluegrass cover of Metallica's "Master of Puppets"

Have a great morning/day/afternoon/evening/night :D

A short but pretty inspiring quote I found.

"Believe it or not, you are in control of your own life.
You are the reason why you're sad, and you are the reason why you're happy.
So don't wait for happiness. Go out and find it.
Right now.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise."



Excuse me, I need to go....tell people some things.

200 followers!!

YES!!
That's 9 more than 191, 12 less than 212, half of 400, the root of 40,000, and the inverse of...



Hell if I know. I hate solving inverse functions. Math makes me pissed off and angry, yet I constantly use it all the time. It's like an abusive relationship. I just can't quit it.

Here's to my current 200, the next 200, and many many more!
(Now let's watch as Scholar's followers all abandon him, planning this out months in advance ;_; )

Friday night.

 And here I am, blogging away, instead of hanging out with friends, and getting wasted. I suppose it's alright though...I won't waste gas money driving my friends to places, wasting more money on booze, and doing unsafe things with animals and law enforcement. I'm just typing away wearing sweats, a blanket, and munching on some chips. Man, if I was playing World of Warcraft or something, I'd be a dictionary definition of a loser....


http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/loser

Slang . a misfit, esp. someone who has never or seldom been successful at a job, personal relationship, etc.

 

 

Eh, close enough. I meant more like a social outcast, but oh well. 

 

 

I don't regret saying "Nah man, I'm kinda busy. No boozing out tonight for me. Sorry."

Not at all.

 

 

And how are you doing?

Any cool plans in the near future?
