I want to be a member of the green lantern corps

"In brightest day, in blackest night,
no evil shall escape my sight!
Let those who worship evil's might,
beware my power.. Green Lantern's light!"
-Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern
[1943, credited to Alfred Bester]

ip tracking

it would be obscenely easy for me to track the ip address of the people that come to this site. If you have ever meet me you would know that I am a privacy nut. And that is why I do not log the ip's of people that come to my site then do a trace-route to find where they are. I want people to volunteer the information and not have me take it from them. so if you would not mind leave your name at the end of your comment. Pretty please with sugar on top.

Who is listening

I have to wonder who is listening to the words I write everyday. My life I admit is rather bland and the words I post here are by no means note worthy. Not to say I am a bad writer in other forms it is just the words I write here leave something to be desired. I must ask who reads and posts here. I am tempted to disable anonymous comments. But that would serve no purpose because people would just fill the forms with nonsense information and continue to post.

So please when you leave comments please leave your name.

That is all

The plan deployed

Well I think everyone knows of the plan that I deployed today.
But for histories sake I shall write it down here.

Placed in her bag where two books.
On voltaire candide was taped this quote
"Think where mans glory most begins and ends,
and say my glory was I had such friends."
(William Butler Yeats)

On C.S Lewis The screwtape letters was taped this note)
(this was originally supposed to be part of the note but was removed by me a the last minute)
Beauty Fades
Flowers Wilt
Candy crumbles
But literature last forever
Here are two works that will last forever

(this part was actually on the book)
P.S (The sacrifice to the
hallmark gods are in your mailbox.)



Now the sacrifice to the hallmark gods
one "Objects of Desire" Ballotin 1 lb. (36 pieces) by godiva
was placed in her mailbox with the note

Friendship is like a bank account;
you cannot continue to draw on it
without making a deposit.
- Nicole Beale

Reading wonder boys

P.S. ( yes I do realize that this violates the idea from finding forester
"the key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time."
But there is nothing that says that you can't at times accept societies convention to make someone happy.

P.S.S. Yes I know my name appeared nowhere on any of the notes. Well there are two reasons for that. One this was originally part of a much larger plan that ended with me at her door reading poetry. Well when I removed that part I decided to leave my name out of it still because the entire point of the plan was to make her happy. I think that goal was reached at least I hope so.

Ideas

Why is it that I always fall in the love with movies with writers. Finding Forester and Wonder boys are two movies like this. In the past few days I have found them playing over and over in the house. I know them like I know the guide. They each contain ideas that I use on a daily basis. if you have not seen these movies I highly recommend you do.

idea one.
the key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.

idea two.
that the most important gift is the gift of friendship.

idea three.
that we should do it pursue what makes us happy.

there are several more ideas that I can not seem to put into words. You will have to see the movies for yourself. I will be happy to loan them to you.

well bittorrent just finished grabbing the newest episode of stargate that has aried overseas.

This american life

Many americans think that radio is dead. They are wrong radio is alive and well just not in the usa. Radio still plays a strong role in there lives. But npr is our last best hope of radio in the united states. My favorite program at the moment is "this american life". I have many own many radios from tiny fm only radios to large ham and shortwave radios. But I choose to listen to the show via the web. you can listen to just about every episode of the show on there website www.thisamericanlife.org. Each week we choose a theme and put together different kinds of stories on that theme. It is quite an amazing show. I highly recommend starting with the staff favorites http://thisamericanlife.org/pages/favorites.html. if you listen to only one show please listen to The House By Loon Lake it is my favorite but any of the show listed on the favorites page are amazing. Please do not let radio in america die.

And one more thing

During the college counselor meeting I noticed that emily e. was staring at me. Any Idea why she did this or if she was starring at something around me I would like to know.

Thanks
Robert

Wandering into meetings

So it the last few weeks I have walked into three different meetings. the first meeting I walked into was the student marketing committee. They where having wicks pizza in the seminar room aka "the junior lounge". Harry T. and I we walking by and we were like lets join the committee. So we walked in and asked if we could join and we did. Now when I go into a meeting I am not going to just sit and be quite, I am going sit up and speak my mind. Now today I had heard that there was going to be a meeting to interview a new college counselor. So after going through natural channels to try to get into this meeting I get stuck in the bureaucracy of the system I just decide to walk into the room where the meeting is going to be and sit down. And no one really seems to care that I am part of the meeting. So the guy we interviewed seems really good and I truly hope collegiate decides to hire him wells until I see the other people they have in line. But right now it is going to be hard to top this guy.

So after this meeting I am walking up stairway a and I see mrs. talamni and I ask what meeting she is going to and she says the marketing committee and I shout keep the mascot I love the amazons and the titans. But of course they they want me to come in and explain how I why I feel that way. So I precede to do so and it so happens that this is one of those conversation that I have planned out. I think I did a good job. Here is hoping they keep the amazons and titans names as our mascots.

Well that is all for now folks
