The Conundrum

I blog.
I love my Moleskine.
I enjoy reading through Moleskinerie.

But a Moleskinerie group on MySpace?

I am in the computer lab, and at this very point, 11:40am, there is a guy with a Slash costume on. He has the full get up: Tall black cap with skulls on it, leather jacket, long black haired wig, and black sunglasses. He's on the computer on the other side of mine, facing me, and his eyes are just above the top of the computer. I can't tell if he is looking at me or working . What to do?

Marv from Sin City is sitting to the right of me.

When Halloween Goes Bad

Update

Donnie has unveiled his genius once again. He suggested that my paper be about how the different forms of media and how they're invading all apsects of our lives. Gracias senior Donnie.

Instead of going to the plaza in Ashland or hanging out with my friends for Halloween, this year I have to find an aspect or event of Halloween to observe and analyze it into "Cultural text." Basically it is a totally boring assignment that is meant for me to look at Halloween, look for cultural meanings of events that are happening, then connect them to my cultural understandings. No one was ever meant to pay this much attention to Halloween, or at leastin this fashion, especially during midterm week.

Fall back bitches!

Southern Oregon football team ends 13 game losing streak
The Raiders record their first win in 8 games after they upset Baker 44-29. Shit, I figured they would lose. None the less, I predict that the University will be looking for a new coaching staff after SOU's worst showing in the schools history.

Arizona Upsets the Beavers
Arizona's true freshman QB threw for 335 yards, and Oregon State's Matt Moore had 6 interceptions!

Looks like I am to be the chaperone to my brothers and their dates for their Homecoming dance tonight. Meh.

Congratulations Alex And The Phoenix Pirates

Tonight my brother Alex played an entire quarter helping the Pirates roll over Illinois Valley with a 53-8 victory in their homecoming game. My brother gave one kickoff and had a couple really clean tackles, then other assists and good blocks. Though he is a pretty big kid for his age, 6'.5" and 185lbs and age 14, he looked tiny compared to the other varsity guys he tackled. I was pretty stoked for him because he the first freshman in a long time to make the varsity squad. He made the team as a linebacker and kicker. Phoenix is now 7-1 on the season and 6-0 league, has clinched the Skyline title, and had a 6th place ranking in state before this game. They may go up in the rankings though, Elmira, ranked 3rd in state, recorded their first loss of the season. Anywho, I think that the Pirates will turn some heads in the playoffs. GOOD JOB PIRATES!

Donnie apparently cant accept the new iPod, or at least that's what I gather from his posts and comments. Face it, Apple has something going on here.

Lottery Ticket Bought With Stolen Credit Card

A White City woman purchased a winning lottery ticket, worth $1 million dollars, with her deceased mother-in-law's credit card. Apparently she had bought some other items with the card as well which lead to her being tracked down and served with a search warrant. She will face multiple charges such as theft-related charges and forgery, and I'm not talking about metal work. Oh yea, when the police searched her house the had methamphetamine. Yay, now everyone that didn't know Oregon was known for is abundance of meth labs knows for sure now. What do you expect, she is from White City.

"Moleskine Notes"

Moleskinerie is launching "Moleskine Notes", a series of essays by Moleskine users around the world starting next month. Simply write an essay on your Moleskine experience and send it in to them. I have already sent in mine. You have nothing to lose really, it only has to be between 500 and 1000 words, which is like nothing compared to college papers, and if you are chosen you will receive a gift from Moleskinerie. Sound easy or what? Give it a try and send in you stories.

Who Else Likes Backpack?

I just started looking at my Backpack page and realized how much I like using it. Just clicking through the pages I've previously made was so easy, and I check my the internet every morning before school so it will help with planning my day(s) and keeping productive. It seems like it would be a very hard program to use if it weren't right in front if you needed it, but if it is right there when you click on the internet, it is one of the most useful tools to have. And since I've starting to really browse through Backpack's features, I can tell that the feature that sends a message to you phone would totally come in handy. I'm thinking about making it my internet home page, then putting on it my schedule for the rest of this term and the following two terms as well. Here is a list from last year...

Question #1

It(I) may sound stupid, but is there any specific reason to why our stomach growls? And I'm not talking about gas, I mean those deep loud growls that everyone hears whenever it gets real quite in your morning Native American Culture class. I have heard people say that is because you haven't eaten enough and your "stomach is hungry." I have also heard that it is because the food that you just ate is trying to be processed through. I'm not sure which to believe. GRRROOOOOOOWWWWOOOOOOLLLLLLEEERRRRRAAAALLL!

Did You Walk Your Dog Today?

In Rome, a new Law has been added that requires dog owners to walk there pet at least 3 times a day. Failure to do so will result in 500 euro fine, that is 598 American dollars! And a by-Law states that they, the owners, cannot dock their pets tails. Also in Rome, the very common round and spherical fish bowls have been banned by a new Law, I guess that the round glass bowls make the fish go blind. This is ridiculous I think, they just swim in circles anyway, and usually carnival fish just live for a couple days. This Law also bans other animals, as well as fish, from being given away at carnivals as prizes. I think that the "Dog Law" is a good idea, for the dogs sake. Too often are pets purchased then just left to grow old and unhealthy while living with their "masters." If you don't have the time to take your pet out you shouldn't be buying the pet in the first place, and I bet that you'd know before hand what you schedule was like.

Oregon's Quarterback Career Ends

In the third quarter of play, Oregon QB Kellen Clemens was sacked resulting in a broken left fibula. Clemens, who was finally starting to get the attention he deserved, was easily on track to become the schools all-time leading passer and total offensive leader before the injury at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. "I thought the marriage of the new offense with Kellen Clemens was something that was sort of made in heaven," Bellotti said. Offensive coordinator Gary Crowton is now looking to sophomores Dennis Dixon and Brady Leaf to split the remainder of the season at quarterback.

"The two quarterbacks have complementary skills: Dixon is a fast runner better suited to the spread-option offense, Leaf a pocket passer who has a little better grasp of the offense."

Reviews On The "New iPod"

"Our verdict is that this new iPod is an excellent music player. It has all of the strengths that have made prior iPods monster hits, and a few subtle refinements. Plus, it's a surprisingly decent video player, with crisp, smooth vivid playback of TV shows, music videos, short films, video podcasts and home videos."
-Walter S. Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal Online

"The idea is you just buy a few music videos from the Itunes store and use them to pass the time on the train to school or work in the morning. And, of course, you can still use it to listen to endless hours of music as well."
-Cliff Joseph, Personal Computer World

"respectively, is the best one we've used to date. Yet because it has added a major extra feature--video playback--to its solid, audiocentric foundation, there's room for improvement."

I guess my boys ROCKED Mazama. I haven't got any real stats, But apparently they won 61-15 at Mazama, that was the highest scoring game reported all night, so far. I'll get more stats soon since your all dying to know about hickass Phoenix High football(I'm just joking guys).

The Clock of Long Now

I recieve Discover magazine and I read this article when the issue made it's debut. It [the clock] is amazing. The concept and prototype(on the right) is 9 feet tall, but the final version will be at least 60 feet tall with 5 different displays of time. Hillis said that if he made the clock a thousand years from now you could still read the time, even if you did not have the same system we use now. This thing keeps track of time, as well as the orbits of our 6 innermost planets, and the slow wobbles of Earth. The theory of the 10,000 year clock has been around for a while. Their main concern is when the designer, Danny Hillis, is dead. There will need to be a care taker to it is not to be destroyed of stolen when it actually gains some historical importance. I guess that is still has like a decade or two to be completely finished. This thing will be huge, in size and as a part of the earths history. 10,000 years is a long, long, long, long time,

" The time span from the invention of agriculture to present. Twice as long as the Great Pyramid of Giza stood. Four hundred human generations."

We've Got A Winner!!!

I guess some fool from Jacksonville won the Powerball. That lucky bastard. I heard he gets 7.something million a year for 30 years. Wow, I'd never work again. If I were him I would pay to have Jacksonville put on the US map. And I bet the market that sold the winning ticket is happy, they'll get a fat, and by fat I mean huge, chunk of the money. Anywho, congratulations man, try to spend it all in one place, like Katrina.

Had an interesting session in my cultural anthropology class. We started off the day talking about "symbolic action." Some used Star Wars as an example, talking about Darth Vader and when he has to take off his mechanical mask and underneath is a deformed and crippled old man. They also exclaimed that the movie is a metaphor about revolting against empires or mechanical industry. Then we talked about marriage and how we go through a whole long process just the show that we love someone. Then death and the how we have to have a long ceremony just to show that they have passed and we have let them go. Out of the blue we get on the subject about FGM or female genital mutilation. It stated off on topic, but then everyone just started rambling on how horrible it is and totally forgot that we have to put it in context with their culture and practices. Anyway, it was quite the amusing class period.

Blogs: Emotional Outlets?

I think that Donnie bought up a good point in a comment he left on a post of mine. There was a comic in our local newspaper that made blogs out to be "emotional outlets" as Donnie put it. After his comment I started to remember past experiences and reading articles about how blogs are conveyed. My brothers will even say sometimes, "go write that on your blog." If they would actually go around and look at different blogs they would notice that not that many people are wining or complaining out how pathetic the world is or how miserable their lives are. Most blogs that I have enjoyed are mainly informative. Some are world news, others are genre specific. Some look to just put their thoughts out there and others look to put breaking or interesting/useful news for others to use. Even ones that I have just looked over and not really read aren't an 'emotional outlet'. Donnie also pointed out how people and media confuse MySpace and blogs. Mmmm, two totally different concepts. Myspace is all about pictures and trying to look or sound "available", or at least that's the message I get when I see one. MySpacer's may say differently, but I thinks that's it true. There are some 'Spacer's' on the track team and all they talk about is their pictures. Don't get me wrong, pictures are fun, but 'Spacer' pictures are about trying to look "hot" so that you can get as many comments as possible. Lame? I'm not dissing on MySpace, I'm just dissing on what it has become. I think that it was a great idea when it debuted, but it has since gone to hell. My friend has a Myspace and I have never actually looked through the entire page, it just seems too cluttered and messy(not your page Jamie just the setup of MySpace itself). If I had to choose between a classy blog or a MySpace I would....Well I think you all already know that answer. But if I'm totally wack in my reasoning let me know.

Powerball Jackpot At $340 Million

After 20 straight drawings with no winner the Powerball Jackpot soars up to 340 million dollars! Today's prize, if there is a winner, will be the second largest jackpot won in Powerball's history. About 3 years C&L Super Serve in Hurricane W. Virginia sold the winning ticket with the jackpot at 314 million, so ticket purchasers have been traveling there this week in hope that they could win big too. For your guy's information, markets that sell the winning ticket get huge publicity along with the winner. People travel for hours even days after to buy tickets for them. Market owners in turn are happy because they will get increased publicity and sales in tickets and products. It's a win-win situation. One guy drove from Long island to Greenwich, Conn., and bought 120 dollars worth of tickets. This is what he said he would do if he won:

"“Not work," he said, then changed it to work less. "It would be nice to be debt-free. I'd spend a lot more time with my kids and do the things I like to do - golf."”

Zits

There was a funny comic I saw in this mornings Medford Mail Tribune, Zits. I've always liked Zits and this one is pretty appropriate for my current hobby, Blogging. The skit includes Jeremy at the computer and his father.



Father walks into the room: Checkers?

Jeremy at the computer: No Thanks. I'm working on my blogs

Father: Blogs? You mean you have more than one?

Jeremy: Three Actually.

Jeremy: One is for expressing my thoughts, one is for expressing my thoughts about those thoughts....And the other one is for any thoughts I might have while writhing thoughts about my thoughts.

Father leaves the room thinking: Further proof that the internet have too much space.

Lunar Eclipse Recap

There was no "shock and awe" moment during the eclipse this morning, in fact there wasn't really much of anything. It was definitely worth staying up and watching, and you could tell that there was a difference when it actually happened, but I have seen better ones. Because it was a partial eclipse there was only dark shadow, no red moon or anything like when it a full eclipse.

It was a great night for the eclipse, really clear skies and the moon was bright and full. Everything basically happened right on schedule. I used my mom's camera to watch as the moon changed through it stages and to take pictures. You could see when the earths shadow was first cast on the moon, it was slight but visible to the naked eye. Then I would check every 20-30 minutes to see the progress. It did take a while for eclipse to reach its "max", but it was indeed fun watching as the earths shadow slowly covered more and more of the moons surface. I got some OK pictures, there is only so much you can do when you are using a digital camera and trying to take the pictures by hand. But it did have a big lens on it so the quality is pretty good.

Lunar Eclipse

For any one willing enough to get up early, this Monday the 17th in the a.m. there will be a partial lunar eclipse. In our region, Pacific time zone, viewers should be able to watch the entire eclipse. Usually with a lunar eclipse comes a solar eclipse as well, but for central and east Asia, New Zealand and Australia, who viewed the solar eclipse, the lunar eclipse comes after dusk.

For those it the Pacific time zone, they be able to view the entire eclipse. For the views going further eastward, less and less of the eclipse will be visible.

Notebook Issues Part 2

Well, with some suggestions from everyone I have got my eye on this one, this one, and this one. They are little more expensive, but nothing too drastic.

Notebook Issues

I have been looking for a notebook for a long time. I'm not really sure what is "good" or not, and it's getting hard to try and weed out the junkers. I found this one at Circuit City, it has good ratings and it's cheap for the features it has. Like someone suggested, I might upgrade the memory to 512mb to make it run even faster. But as usual, cost is a big factor.

Friends and strangers, guys and gals, what do you think? Any suggestions?

If You Play With Bears You Might Get Eaten

Southern Oregon Blogosphere: Deserted?

I have been blogging since May '05, and I'm by far one of the youngest members of the Southern Oregon Blogosphere. There started a few gurus, leaders if you will, on the front line representing S.O. And through them came numerous followers intrigued by the communications tool most commonly know as a Weblog or Blog.

What is a Weblog Adam?

A weblog is a public web site where users post informal journals of their thoughts, comments, and philosophies, updated frequently and normally reflecting the views of the blog's creator.

Donnie Jeter helped mold the world that is now know as the Southern Oregon Blogosphere. His brother Scott and friends: Kate, Preston, Chris, Sam, Kevin, Sean, and myself are all byproducts of his influential workings. But for some mind boggling reason the S.O. Blogosphere is in jeopardy. No one has any voice anymore. No comments are being submitted, no posts are published, and there is no updating. Has the Southern Oregon Blogosphere been deserted? I certainly hope not, everyone was such a tight nit group. Everyone kept everyone on track, it was beautiful. But something is wrong now, and there has been no explanations thus far.

Even though I am so new so the S.O.B., I felt compelled to bring up this vital subject. I love hearing what all the "crew" has to say, each voice had its own style. Some use lyrics as titles, some are tech/science lovers and bring breaking news, others use comedy to capture it's views, and others just write about life. All very different, but inspiring. We all thrived off each other. But with all the updates it almost feels like everyone has died in a sense. I don't see may of she 'sphere' anymore and their blogs were the only way I knew that they were OK. Sometimes when I think about how to S.O.B. and the depression it's going through I wonder, "Why am I still doing this?" I never want to have to ask myself that again. The sphere has brought so much fun into my life and new friendships it would be tradgic to have that become lost. I seriously hope that the sphere picks back up again. I dont like seeing it like this.

God Damn

This morning I woke up to my brother poking me in the arm asking if he could use a belt. Being the generous son of a bitch that I am I said it was OK, as long as he bring in my pack as well(my belt and pack were in my car). So I went back to sleep for about 45 minutes. After I fully awoke from my alarm I got ready for school: deodorant, brushed teeth, got my track gear, and made some snacks. When it was time to leave I couldn't find out where my brother had put my keys after he got my belt, and my pack wasn't inside. I suspected that my brother, Alex, forgot to get my bag and then accidentally left my keys in his pocket, due to him being late. So I was rushing around looking for my keys just in case they were in fact inside. Then I called PHS and had them page Alex so I could find my keys because now I was late for school too by about a half hour. When he got to the phone he said that he never found my keys, so he never got into my car, which explained why it was still locked. YAY!!! I was running around my house frustrated for nothing. Now I had to re-track all my steps from lthe night before so that I could find my keys. By this time I am an hour late and pissed as hell. I eventually found my keys and got to class, but missed an important lecture.

iPod Video

The iPod Video is looking pretty sweet. Available in both black and white, the iPod, video with it's 2.5 inch color screen, can hold up to 150 hours of video, as well as music and still photos. The awesome part is that you can buy TV shows online after the preview date. I haven't read if you can purchase major motion pictures online though.

"For the first time ever, prime-time shows can be purchased online the day after they appear on TV," Mr Iger said, chief executive of Disney.

Apple is totally redefining "portable media" with this one. But like the rest of the portable video player producers, Apple is concerned with those who love to pirate videos. They are thinking about new legal rights among digital producers and distributors. None the less, the iPod video is going to be hot, hot, hot! I still haven't bought any kind of iPod, but I am glad I've held out and waited for better iPods to be released.

Donnie, I am playing Sims this weekend whether you like it or not, you son of a bitch!

Nice Guys Finish Last

You cannot imagine how much I dislike stupid and immature drivers. I won't lie, I do zoom around town and peel out around a corner or two(when no one is around). But drivers that take advantage of other, more courteous drivers, pisses me off.

I was coming home from class this morning and I took the freeway. For the past week there has been construction and they have had to limit sections of the two lanes, to one, going both north and south. The huge orange signs go for a few miles that exclaim "one lane ahead" and "merge left," then further down the road it actually changes into one lane. But for some reason there are incredibly stupid drivers zoom all the way down the empty lane, because everyone else has already moved to the other[lane], and expect to be let in. Well,this morning I was one of those drivers that was expected to let someone hop in. I was hesitant at first and stayed with them so that they couldn't merge, but then backed off (after I realized it wasn't worth it to piss someone off) so that the driver, a woman, could get in. As she gets into the line of cars she sticks her hand out the window and gives me "the finger." I can't explain my confusion and anger except for in the nerd terms, "OMG! WTF!" That kind of stuff really pisses my shit off. And others follow them because they know that the more courteous drivers will always let them in (though they may not want to).

Then I get off the freeway and start making my way through town. I soon get behind this driver that for some reason thinks that it is ok to tailgate a bike rider. It wasn't a kid riding his little Huffy in the middle of the road, it was a real road bicyclist. This driver is sooo close to the rider, it was unbelievable how inconsiderate they were being. Anywho, the driver continues to ride this guys ass until he finally looks back and is forced to hop onto the sidewalk.

Now that I'm done venting, I think that when they, the DMV, issue drivers licenses they should also have them take an anger management test and a logic test- That way they can weed out those stupid angry drivers.

Hit And Run

I was just coming back from the minute market, literally like 3 minutes ago, and a flippin' possum runs out of the bushes into road. I swerved a little and put on the brakes. I missed it with my front right tire, but it scuttled its fat ass so darn fast I hit it with my back ones. And there were kids, for some reason, right at the corner where I hit it, so I didn't want to hop out and draaaag it off the road. I felt really bad just leaving it there though. But I will later, or try at least, that thing was huge. The body was at least a foot and a half minus the tail.

I Am The Slime Of Veronaville

I went to Donnie's today hope to get together with a few other friends and play some football or wiffleball. But do to the lack of resources, I decided to hop on Scott's computer and play The Sims Nightlife.

What a totally addicting game. I had never played Sims before, but by the time I was done playing I wanted more. You have to know The Sims setup to navigate through it easily. Like I said, I had never played before so trying to get to work on time and have Demi Love "Woo Hoo" with me was a little tough. Not to mention having The Sims guru standing over my shoulder telling me that I'm " the slime of Veronaville," which is his town by the way. But I do look forward to playing some more at Scott and Donnie's place.

I've seen this picture before, but where? Ah, here it is!!!

Phoenix Pirates Move To 5-0

Twas an interesting game to watch. If I remember right, Phoenix had 18 points at the beginning of the 3rd quarter with HV at 0. PHS's kicker, Wilson, missed his first PAT, then they(PHS) went for 2 point conversions and missed both on the following touchdowns. Hidden Valley had a late rally scoring a touchdown with a 2 point conversion, then scoring another TD with a successful PAT. But the score was not a very accurate depiction of how strong the PHS team played. Only if they would have made the PAT's, a 21-15 looks a lot better then a 18-15 turnout. Phoenix can still improve in many areas.

Phoenix had a good start. They come out strong running the ball well and receivers make big plays. I think that after they got ahead by 18 that PHS went from "aggressive attack" mode into "we're ahead, we got this" mode. They, on both sides of the ball, got sloppy after that. HV's RB's and WR's starting making big plays and ended up putting points on the board. Coach Crowston was not happy. My brother, who is on Varsity as a freshman, said that the team got "an earfull" from the coach saying that if they are the best in Skyline, why didn't they beat them by 50 points. It may sound ridiculous, but PHS should have.

Next Phoenix goes to Klamath to play K.U. in non-conference match. K.U. is 5-1/0-0 league. Good luck Boys!!!

It's Catching Up To Me

I've been in school now for 2 weeks and this whole no sleep thing is finally catching up to me. My brother works at Harry and David till 12:15am every "night", and I'm the one that picks him up. I probably get home around 12:30am and get to bed by 1:15, maybe. I have class at 8am, Monday through Thursday and need to wake up at 6:45am to get their on time. So, for the first 4 days of my school week I get approximately 5.5 hours of sleep per night. Does that suck or is it just me? And to add to that, I don't have a job, therefor i have no money to pick up my favorite drink to get the day started. By Friday I'm just exhausted and really end up having a lousy weekend because I have to make up on sleep time. I know you guys might be hearing "the boy that sits in his window sill, staring at the moon while playing his violin" song in you head, but I had to get my schedule setup that way, all the classes I needed we set for 8am. I guess that that's what college is all about, buckin' up and stickin' to it. Shit, I'm only taking 12 credits, there are people there taking the max, 18, and having to stay at school all day to get through them all while keeping a damn smile on their face. I'm done wining now, good night.
