Genocide in Darfur

OK last blog. This one is going to be a good one, thats why i saved it for last! Last summer, I had the opportunity to go to Uganda to see the invisible children. Afterwards, I was asked to go to Sudan where I could see it even better, but I had to decline in order to attend school. There is a great evil going on over there right now. Omar Al Bashir is perhaps the most evil man ever to walk the Earth. He has done things that would make Hitler look like a saint. If you do not know who Omar is, we is the dictator of Sudan. He also happens to be in open trade with the Al Quida and Taliban. He was rated the worst dictator in the world last year, taking Kim Jong ill II of North Korea's place. So what exactly is he doing?
Omar is genociding his own people. He is testing biological weapons on his own people. They have been forced to flee Sudan and travel across the border to north Uganda. Uganda has its own problems however. In Uganda, the LRA (Liberations resistance army) is kidnapping kids out of their homes in the middle of the night and training them to be soldiers by making them do unthinkable things like killing their families and stuff. All this so that they can take over the Ugandan government. the Uganda government is doing almost nothing about it until recently. After organizations such as the invisible children started up, congress decided it was time to act. After pressure from the U.S. government, Uganda decided to have peace talks. They are still going on now.
But that is a quick rundown of what is going on. If you want to find out more, go to the invisible childrens website and they will tell you everything. Thanks for listening!

Ramblings on Phenomena

So I am completely out of things to write about. i gotta come up woth one more topic at least before I will be satisfied. I don't know how many of these things I gotta make up. What the heck lets roll with the Bermuda Triangle. I don't know much about it. It starts at Bermuda and heads south through Florida and over Cuba and stuff like that. From what I hear a lot of planes and ships crash there. Thats pretty strange. I wonder why? If you have any ideas then respond!
Also there is things like the loch ness monster and bigfoot and yetis and stuff. I don't know much about them either. Bigfoot is supposed to be roaming North America. The lock ness is supposed to be in some Swedish loch or something. And the yeti thing is supposed to be in the Himilayas. I seriously doubt these things exist but they will allow me to write a few more sentences for this blog. i really need to learn to type without looking. I t would help alot. I should have payed more attention during high school. Oh well, maybe I will teach myself this summer. Lets see, any other phenomena? Aliens.... I doubt it...... Who killed JFK? Thats a good one. I couldn't tell you but the conspiracy theorist do make some pretty good points. But at any rate, I am going to write one more blog. And call it a semester. Maybe two but I seriously doubt it!

Washers

OK I don't know about Mississippi, but in Alabama we play this game called washers. Its a very easy game to comprehend(It has to be if it was made in Alabama). The game is very similar to horseshoes if you have ever played it. If you haven't then don't read this blog because I honestly am tired of writing and do not feel like explaining it.
The Concept of the game is simple, be the first to 21 points by ringing a washer into a hole in the ground or getting close to it. If you don't know what a washer is then again skip this because i don't feel like explaining it. Its a two player game. Its played in rounds and you get two washers to throw a round. If you ring the hole in the ground you will receive 3 points. If somebody else rings it after you, these points will be negated. Consequently, if you throw a washer in on somebody else, the points will be negated. If nobody rings the hole, 1 point will be awarded to the person who gets closest. Once again it is a game to 21, but you have to win by 2. Also, there are two holes in the ground (usually made out of PVC pipe) that make up the playing field. The two holes are like 30 feet apart or around that I cannot remember the exact number. You stand at one and throw in the other. then each round, you swap up. I think that about sums it up. It is a pretty fun game, you should give it a try sometime.

The pollen problem and a radical solution!

So I was reading the student printz the other day when I came across an article talking about the pollen problem on campus and how to fix it. I thought it was really interesting and by interesting i mean funny because clearly his solution was perhaps one of the worst solutions that i have ever heard. So I will briefly outline it for you.
It started off normal. It stated the problem. It simply said that the pollen problem on campus is bad. This is a true statement, but the pollen problem is bad no matter where you go in the south (and possibly the north to, but I have not spent enough time there to tell you about it). But that was not the funny part of the article. The funny part of the article came in his solution.
It sounded like he was going to give a normal solution. Then all of a sudden, out of the blue he proposes that we cut all the oak trees down and replace them with fake trees. He is very well researched, he knows exactly what this is going to cost. His only problem is that he fails to realize that cutting down all of the trees is the dumbest idea ever. I mean i'm no tree hugger but cutting down all the trees is just strait up a bad idea. I mean we do need oxygen!

The journey of the couch!

So a few minutes ago, A friend of mine asked me to help him move a couch out to his truck. I quickly agreed, needing to get up from writing all these posts (This is my 5th or 6th one today I'm pretty sure, I lost count). So I went over to his dorm and we got the couch. After a few struggles getting it out the door, we decided to take the elevator down instead of the stairs (we live on the 3rd floor). It was tricky getting the couch to actually go into the elevator. We ended up having to twist it sideways and tilt it a little forward. But it eventually fit and we got it inside the elevator. Unfortunately for us, there were some other people on some other floors who decided that they needed to ride the elevator as well. So we ended up on the sixth floor with like 7 people in the elevator. There was also this one guy on the fifth floor who, when the doors opened, just laughed at us and said "Of course, Why wouldn't the elevator have 6 people in it and a couch!". Then he said he would take the next one. But anyways the journey continued and we eventually made it to the lobby. Then came the hard part of actually getting it out of the buildings. We eventually had to lift it up on its side, then rotate it sideways so that it was like an L. Then we wedged it out of the building. We then proceeded to take the couch to the guys truck. Mission accomplished!

Marshmallow Shooters! What?

So i saw this commercial right before lunch. It was about this new children's toy called a marshmallow shooter, or something like that. Apparently it is a gun that shoots marshmallows. I guess its supposed to be safe or something, I dunno but it is the worst idea that I have ever heard, besides a bunch of others. Ill write about another one in a minute. By the way i hope these things are not due yet, I don't remember the exact time.
The first problem with this marshmallow shooter idea is the fact that there are starving children both in America and all over the world. And what does America do? It makes a toy that shoots food everywhere! That a way to portray to the world that you don't give a rip about world hunger. call me naive for attacking a toy like this, but I have seen the starving kids in Africa with my own two eyes, and it makes me sick sometimes to think that Americans have the wealth to solve it but we don't. But thats another story for another time. Back to this product.
The second problem with this contraption is a lot more logical. Whats going to happen when you shoot a lot of marshmallows everywhere? There is going to be a lot of marshmallows everywhere! This leads to two problems. One is you are going to have to clean it up. Two is that you are going to have sugar ants everywhere. Good job, person who made this, you just boarded the failboat!

Live news feeds or something of the sorts

OK im about to take a break from blog writing and go get something to eat, but before i do, I just want to share one more thing with you. Or two things, we will see how this goes. So I heard about this website called livenewscameras.com a minute ago on the radio. Apparently , you can watch live news feed from all over the world on this website. So i decided to go on it and check it out. Its pretty cool. Youi can watch the local news from all over America or from all over the world. So if i wanted to watch WKRG 5 from mobile, because thats where im from, then i could just go on this website and watch it.
You can also watch international news feeds. So if i for some crazy reason wanted to watch Al Jazeera in Iraq, you could. I am actually trying to watch it right now. Not becuase I am anti-american because I'm not, I love america! I just want to see if it actually works. So yeah thats a pretty cool website. Check it out sometime. Lievenewscameras.com. Pretty east name to remember. Or if you don't like news, then don't check it out. Its up to you! Haha! I'm hungry, I'm going to lunch. When I get back, I shall write about this commercial I just saw selling this crazy thing. Learn more soon!

The Preamble and a random ramble about the education of jews!

LOL So heres a good piece of writing. The Preamble to the Constitution!!!!

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

This is a good writing by our founding fathers. People don't write like they used to thats for sure. Old lititure is so much better than modern lititure, its not even funny. I was expecting the preamble to be longer for some reason. I guess when we had to memorize it in high school, it seemed alot longer. Jewish kids at the time of Jesus's birth had to memorize the entire first five books of the bible by the time they were like 10. It was called the Pentacuh or something like that back then. My how education has slipped these past few thousand years!

Baha Blast

So me and a couple of friends had a debate about this the other day. (Dont ask how we got on this random subject, I don't know.) The amazing piece of art known as Mountain Dew: Baha Blast is available only at taco bell. The question that was posed is if baha blast was commercialized, meaning that mountain dew sold it everywhere, would it still be the masterpiece that it is. There were quite a few arguments going both ways. Here is some of the stuff we came up with.
At first, we said NO it wouldn't. It was stated that the only reason that Baha Blast is good is because you can only get it at taco bell. That if it was commercialized, it wouldn't be as good simply because we would get accustomed to the taste. This was a good argument, until we simply realized that it was not true.
We then said YES it is. We said this because many of us realized that the only reason we go to taco bell is because of the baha blast. We then realized that taco bell must be paying alot of money to keep it in their store.
Vote YES to commercialize baha blast! Even though there is no voting going on.....

P.S. I am clearly running out of ideas for blogs!

The worlds hardest game

So I decided to see if i could find the worlds hardest game the other day. After typing it in n google, i came across this game called " the worlds hardest game". I must say that this game lives up to is title. I finally beat the game after about 700 deaths. This saddened me because the game really wasn't that hard once you figured out the pattern to everything. I went back and beat it with like 170 deaths. So yeah, due to the lack of blogs I decided that you should know this. So if you want to play it, i will leave a link at the end of this. I have to warn you tht you probably will not beat it the first time. I had to leave it minimized on my computer over the course of a few days. At first, it may actually seem like the worlds hardest game but its ok you will get used to the patterns and be mastering it in n time. The last thing that i would like to mention is the fact that the last level is not nearly the hardest level. That was kinda dumb but oh well......

Here is a link: http://www.addictinggames.com/theworldshardestgame.html
