I hate midterms with a passion… I mean, the only people who did good on them were the people who DIDNT study…

I hate school.

But I’ll do a ton better this next quarter… This last quarter was so bloody hard… And yes, I didnt slack off…

Ah, well… It was hilarious today in Orchestra. Mr Kline (yes, man of Lucifer himself) was really ticked and vented on us about how he had a guitar book for a student (from his wife) that had been stolen, and stuff like that. He had torn his office apart looking for it… and then realized he had jammed it in a drawer with midterms… Ha.

Have to go, French study hall (do nothing because of SUB) is over… ttyl.

It’s Midterm week… so I’m taking a posting break till Monday, studying my butt off (not really) and putting my feet up for a well deserved cinema delight.

Salieri: My plan was so simple that it terrified me. First I must get the death mass and then I, I must achieve his death.

Father Vogler: What?

Salieri: His funeral! Imagine it, all of Vienna there, Mozart’s coffin, Mozart’s little coffin in the middle, and then suddenly, in that silence, music! A divine music bursts out over them all. A great mass of death! Requiem mass for Wolfgang Mozart, composed by his dear friend, Antonio Salieri! Oh what sublimity, what depth, what passion in the music! Salieri has been touched by God at last. And God is forced to listen! Powerless, powerless to stop it! I, for once in the end, laughing at him! The only thing that bothered me was the actual killing. How does one do that? Hmmm? How does one kill a man? Well it’s one thing to dream about it; very different when you, when you have to do it with your own hands.

Grazie Signore.

Where do we go from here?
This isn’t where we intended to be.
We had it all
You believed in me
I believed in you

Certainties disappear
What do we do for our dream to survive
How do we keep all our passions alive
As we used to do?

Deep in my heart I’m concealing
Things that I’m longing to say
Scared to confess what I’m feeling
Frightened you’ll slip away
You must love me…
You must love me…..

Why are you at my side?
How can I be any use to now?
Give me a chance and I’ll let you see how
Nothing has changed.

Deep in my heart I’m concealing
Things that I’m longing to say
Scared to confess what I’m feeling
Frightened you’ll slip away
You must love… me.

“Hello. I’m Ben Stein. And today, I’m going to make history. I’m putting up $5000 dollars of my money on the line that say I’m smarter than you. So if you’re smart enough… Fast enough… and if you’ve got the guts… You could win Ben Stein’s Money!”

Wow… This is a “Must See”…

Check out Game Show Network (GSN) Every weekday at 6-7 pm, or Sunday at 5-6….

IT’S HILARIOUS!

<= Yes, that’s the man himself

This is a show where the host actually gets to play… and it’s actually his money.

Seem stupid? Not at all… ON acount that very few beat him.

And no, it’s not rigged.

Both Stein and Kimmel are quick to point out that their show is no Jeopardy. “I know I’m no Alex Trebek and Ben certainly isn’t Alex Trebek,” said Kimmel. “This show is much more casual than Jeopardy. I think it’s safe to say this is a lot funnier than Jeopardy.”

Heh… They inforce that rule a lot.
If anyone answers a question WITH a question…
They get to put on a Dunce Cap…
And they cannot take it off.

Hee Hee.

He must be laughing at the terrible puns that are the category names.

Example: “Rock Me on a Dais” (Instead of Rock Me Amadeus)
“The Poison Ivy League”
Oh… Boo.

And the best thing about Ben Stein: This may be a turn off to some of you, but just read it. My Hero.

STUFF BEN WROTE

Here, in a nutshell, is why I will be voting for George W. Bush on Tuesday.
First, he’s a sane, sound guy. He married for love and stayed married. He’s not a snob or a prima donna. He can laugh at his own limitations. He is a man of faith and makes no bones about it. He’s committed to the defense of life.

Second, he loves this country as a special, unique nation. He doesn’t see it as just one of a number of countries of historic note. To him, it’s not another France or Germany. It is a shining city on a hill on which God shed His grace as never before on a nation or a people. It’s going to take this kind of devotion to win the war against the terrorists. He doesn’t think we need anyone’s permission to defend America, and he’s totally right. He’s not living in a dream world thinking we’re going to be rescued by the likes of France and Russia.  He has shown remarkable character about Israel. Despite receiving only about one in five Jewish votes, he has stood up for Israel steadfastly against the terrorists.
Third, he’s loyal. He doesn’t saw off our fighting men and women at the knees by saying they’re dying in the wrong war at the wrong time in the wrong place. He has never called American warriors war criminals, as some have done.  Our military need to know their mission is valuable and appreciated and George Bush tells them they are not fighting and dying in vain.

I think he’s done well with an economy he inherited with real problems of a collapsing stock market and a gathering recession, although I do think he went too far on taxes. He’s not perfect. He’s not George Washington. He’s George W. Bush, who happened to be President on 9/11 and has responded to it superbly. He’s not Abe Lincoln. He’s just the best guy out there in an uncertain and dangerous world. He’s in it for America, not to fulfill a boyhood dream, and I want to keep him on the job. But if his opponent wins, God bless him, too. He’ll need it.

Thanks, Ben… It may be old news, but it’s news that some people need.

Watch the Show, Guys!

Ah… Hasn’t been a bad day…

I was only abused verbally and mentally (I HATE THIS KID!) in Phys Ed Playing Pickle Ball, smashed my thumb in my locker, verbally abused for no good reason in orchestra, had a History test that was the hardest test I’ve ever taken, and my sister is going back to school today. I love life!

And yesterday I emailed Ben Stein… I wonder how long a response from him will take?

At least it’s not like Jason… That will take 3 months.

Aha, that brings me to my “Random But not so Boring Item of the Day”!!!

Jason Isaacs… Yes THE Jason Isaacs… has really been pushing for parts in movies.

For example… He’s in an upcoming movie “Tennis,Anyone?”

Plot: ” Two mid level Hollywood losers attempt to find redemption, revenge and meaning in their lives through celebrity tennis tournaments.”

With Jason being one of those 2, I’d say he’s trying out a new angle…
Aw, what a cute Tennis outfit… The question is, can he play?

Nice Raquet.

Also, I have read TONS of places that he has a huge part in the upcoming movie, “Elektra”.

“Mr. Jason Isaacs will be starring…”
“Mr Jason Isaacs, who will be playing DeMarco…”
“Cast List: Jennifer Garner, Jason Isaacs…”

Heh… not only does he NOT HAVE a big part…
He has an uncredited cameo.
Most of which he spends staring into space while Elektra threatens him, or at least points her sharp weapony thingy at his neck…

Gotta be thankful for screentime.

Whoopy.

So Jason. We all (YES, ALL) still love you dearly…

But Man… you’ve gotta assert yourself to bigger and better things…
Like James Bond, for instance…

Not the best pic there… But can’t you just see it now?

I hope everyone had a good holiday break. I had a wonderful Christmas myself. I didn’t ask for much, so I got everything I wanted!!! It’s a nice system.

Hear ye, Hear ye, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince comes out June 19!

For those of you wondering about the book, I can give you a few precious details…

* There is a new minister of Magic (not Arthur Weasly)

* The half blood prince IS NOT Harry or Vol… Vol… well, for the weak out there, You-Know-Who. (I think it’s Hagrid)

*Harry and Cho DON’T get back together. (Yes!!!!! SAVED!!)

* We see more of Narcissa Malfoy (YES!!!!! That means her… oh, HUSBAND perhaps will make a bigger appearance… Ah. Buy your “Free Lucius” pins on www.cafepress.com!)

Sounds like a peachy book if you ask me. I must be wrapping up though because my brain is steadily shutting down, and I need some sleep. Farewell, my dear comerades…
