I got a...

job! I start tomorrow =)

At 7:00am today I went swimming in the LA harbor. Did about 1/4 mile. Not too bad, it's just dirty water.

And now I'm tired and don't really feel like blogging all that much right now.

If I fill out one more

job app I'm going to... I don't know...do something really really bad!

Yeah.

so far I got:

• best buy
• hyatt
• home de pot
• marriott hotel

blah!

I'm all apped out and they were all online too. makes it easy to fill out, it's just one of those don't call us we might call you deals.

Holy crapzola

I hurt from that jog yesterday and then swimming today. More jogging tomorrow.

At least I'll be in shape. Mmmmm almost Chinese fast food time.

Fucking Chinese place is out of food! Looks like I'm having ghetto frozen burritos tonight. Bah! Fuck!

I'm am learning a lot about what I'm getting into. Holy crap it's going to be one hell of a ride. Things like welding underwater feels like sticking a 9v battery in your mouth, only all over your body. Fun stuff like that.

Oh yeah I am doing the teabag dive next Thursday. So far I am learning a lot and my body can feel it.

A yog on the beach

This morning me and 3 other roomies went for a jog on the beach. My first time in over a year. It was nice running on the beach, then back up the lil runway.

I also had a great time back home this weekend. Got to spend some time with good friends. (oh I should add a pic). I had some beer too. Did a little dancing. Good thing I was drunk :o.

Over all it was a real good weekend =)

hyperbaric chamber

Today was the second day of class. So, we got to try out the hyperbaric chamber. If you don't know what they do well the short of is that they put you under pressure like if you were diving. We only went to a pressure of 44 feet under the water. Not that big of deal. Only problem I had was with my left ear. No matter what I did my ear didn't want to pop. Then it started to hurt so I told the dude running the chamber to stop. I think that was some where around 30 feet. Well now my ear is hurting me. Well not really hurting, just feels like someone is holding their hand over my ear. Not that much fun. If it doesn't get better this weekend I might get a lil freaked.

Tuesday we get to do out teabag dive. I can't wait for that! Breathing under water. Can't wait! Just my damn ear is buggin' me.

Now I don't know if I want to buy a wet suit or just rent one. I really want to buy one. But since I'm going out of town (back home) this weekend, I'll have to rent it another day. That's only $10 more, not that bad but I could also put that to the cost of the new wet suit it self. So, we'll see what I do.

Evolution is Not Just a Theory

This was the topic of my final paper for my english class. It wasn't long enough and I did some other things wrong. It came down to the point where I just wanted to make sure I turned something in.

So here it is:

Evolution is Not Just a Theory

You cannot change history. When you are able to take a look at something today and then look at what it was 1,000 years ago. You then know beyond any doubt. The evolution as we know it today dates back to 1858 when Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace jointly presented the theory of evolution by natural selection. Because of the physical differences between the human race, it goes without saying that evolution is not just a theory. Evolution is a fact of life.

The main way for us to take a look into the past is by examination of fossil remains. Everyone knows that a picture is worth a 1000 words, but how many words would a fossil remain of Homo sapiens that walked this world 500,000 - 200,000 years ago be worth? That doesn’t count all the other fossils that have been found. When you compare all these various stages of human kind, it will paint a nice picture of the human evolution.

Sure, everyone likes to believe the earth was created in seven days. Other than some print on paper and what you believe, there is no physical proof of Earth being created in seven days. Then there are the extremists that make teaching anything other than the Divine Creation illegal, as you can see by the Scopes Trial (Scopes v. State, 152 Tenn. 424, 278 S.W. 57 (Tenn. 1925). To believe in evolution is not denouncing your belief in the bible. Evaluation is just the science of life, the changes that that planet has under gone. Even Pope John Paul II contended evolution does not refute the presence of God. So, you can still believe in your God and evolution at the same time. Maybe the world was created in seven days, maybe not. One thing for sure is that the planet has changed. Ok so let’s say that human life started off with Adam and Eve. Simple enough. With this picture there would be no evolution, because evolution does not take place between two people. Evolution takes place with a whole population. When you take a line up of humans that are living on this planet today you can see we do not all look the same. Just look at people from Africa, Japan, North or even South America. People are different. How about wisdom teeth? Why is it that just about everyone has them removed? Then there are people like myself, I born with out my lower wisdom teeth. I think that the next thing that you’ll see in the human race is people being born without an appendix.

When you take a step out side of the box it is easy to see that everything has a path of evoulation. Even the smallest cells in every living creature are made from the same 20 amino acids that are the building blocks for proteins. So, you might be thinking that due to the Divine Creation we were all made at the same time. Then why the evloution that you can so clearly see is there?

With the evdience presendeted here it is easy to see how evloution
works. You can not just cast a blind eye to it like evolution never happened.
Though I’m sure some would want to.

I eded up getting a score of 21/25 on this. And that is way better than I thought I was going to get! This is what the teach had to say about it.

Joshua, You brought up some good points in your paper on evolution. Well done on
bringing in counterarguments. Although you had the works cited at the end of the
paper, none of the sources were cited within the paper itself. Please review the
research paper chapters. In future classes, you'll need to know how to write
this sort of paper. Best, Marie

So I got a B in the class! Best score evea!

Nicknames

1. Just J
2. Muppet

I kinda like Just J

Just a test....see how this works out.

Ok, I am going to be changing my photos from flickr.com over to picasa. So, I am just playing around and seeing what all I can do....kinda like this:

To you

Ok, so I'm not going to do as much reading of other blogs right now. Just a heads up. I'm trying to not spend as much time in my room on the computer. I came down here for school, but I also want to live a little. I got the hook up with the roomies, they are all good people as you can tell from hooters! Haven't even been together a week yet. Good thing we're all a bunch of drunks =)

But I am going to take my cam where ever I go.

Lets see here

Ok. I've been having a fucking blast so far. Last night we, me and one of my roomies, went to this kick ass Irish pub. Oh so much fun. I got some pictures of that I might put up. We walked back. Didn't get back to the apartment until 3:30am or so. We found this Vietnamese place that was still open. Well we were to able to hear the people. LOL...this one guy had some porn on his cell phone. Then told us how white dick is as big as black dick. Oh it was great. My fried was telling him that it's just a lie and that he's only hung like a six year old. We were there about 20 min or so.

That guy on the left, no clue who he is, is from the same town that I just moved from. That was cool. I think we might go back to this place tonight too.

Next week it's back to working...

Hooters!

Look where i'm at

I'll be back online

Tomorrow between 8-noon the cable guy is coming to the apartment. So I'll have internet again!!!

Right now I'm at the public Library. First time in years! Good to know they still work.

My essay.

I got 17 / 20 on it!

woohoo and it was about half as long as it should have been. I'll post it up here later.

I really got to get driving now. Peace out!

Multimedia message

I'm in Baker, CA. Still have about 3 hours to drive. Just taking a break here. I got cup cakes and beef jerky and so munch on. I should get to las vegas around 1 am.

Moving!

Ok, I'm going to try and be all packed up by tomorrow!!!

So the next time I blog will be down in long beach. So, it might be a week or two. Who knows?!

So yeah.

Have fun and play nice!

Magic Mountain

That is me on the left ;)

Yesterday I get to spend the day at none other than six flags Magic Mountain! Holy crap is was sooooo much fun. The pic above was taken from the Tatsu (duh ;) ) Here are some facts about that ride:

1. Speed – 62 mph
2. Height – 170 feet
3. Elevation change – 263 feet
4. Track Length – 3,602
5. First drop – 111 feet
6. Inversions – four
7. Record-breaking 124-foot pretzel loop
8. 103-foot flat spin
9. 96-foot-tall Zero G roll
10. 360-degree inline roll over Revolution
11. Wraps the legendary Sky Tower
12. Flight Time: 3.5 minutes

That has to be one of the freakiest rides I've gone on. So freaky we had to go on it again before we left the park. I also ended up getting so wet the the money in my wallet was wet! Twice! The ride is called Roaring Rapids. I can't believe how wet I got. Soaked all the way down to my boxers! It was just crazy. I can't wait to do it again! I just can't believe it cost $15 just to park my damn car! Just crazy.

We got to the part just before 11, it didn't even open 'til 10:30. By the time I picked up my friend and left it was 8:15. So it's a good little drive to get down there, but it is due south on the freeway. So it is very easy to get there. When I got back home I have put on a little over 500 miles! We didn't leave 'til 5:45 just before the park closes at 6.

Some of the rides lasted longer than the wait in line was! That was so cool. X was the longest wait, about 30 min. But, it is a cool ride!

oh yeah, my feet were still wet when I got home and took off my shoes! That is how wet I was!

a simple lil tag thing that I got tagged into doing.

I'm not much of a fan of doing these. But this one was simple enough and so I thought I'd give it a shot.


A- Available? Always!

B - Best Friend? yeah, I got a few

C - Cake or Pie? I liked the band ;) Cake alllll the way!

Y - Your Favorite Foods: Japanese but not that Sushi crap.

Z - Zodiac: Cancer (June baby!)

Degree or no degree? That is the question.

So I've been doing a lot and not doing much blogging. Not too sure what that is. It's not like I don't have stuff to blog about. Heck, last weekend I had knifes juggled over my tummy while I was on the ground. If that isn't something to blog about I don't know what is.

The latest essay I had to write was this:

The first draft of the argumentative essay should be entirely the writer's opinion, without any outside sources used. Based upon the course readings, lecture and class discussions, students will write a 500 to 750-word persuasive essay, arguing a specific point

That's all fine and dandy but, my opinion stopped at about 130 words. How the fuck am I going to come up with 500 words of filler?! That's just crazy talk. I've never been able to do that and it seems that I'm not about to start now. I should be working on my Annotated Bibliography right now. Only I'm getting all corn-fuzzed. So I came here. I wounder how many words I'll come up with here.

Here's my history with the English classes so far.

1. English 25 (this is a high school - low level college English) -- A
2. English 1a (the English I need for my BS degree) -- F
3. Online English 100 (Associate of Science Degree in Marine Technology) -- soon to be an F

So I'm thinking I should just give up now. Toss in that white flag and just move on. Maybe I just wasn't cut out for a degree. I can still just get my Underwater welding certificate and call it good. That really is sounding good right about now.

Here is what I got so far and I think that is all I'm going to do tonight.

Annotated Bibliography


Darwin, Charles. “The Origin of Species”. P. F. Collier & son. 1909

I think I'm just going to drink this beer and play some city of heroes.
Maybe I'll even stop by a few other bloggers. It's kinda funny how that works. I don't leave as many comments, and the number of comments I get goes down. No biggie, not like I've been blogging all that much anyways. I do try to at least stop by every now and then.

P.S. 380 words

So...

...Because my brother has taken so much from our family I feel like shit because I need help going to school. I've known I've needed X amount of money or not to even waste my time. For me to come up with it my self I would have needed to work until the end of this year.

But my mom said that she would be able to help out. Like any mom wants to do. Well now my mom just pawned in her car.

So now I feel like crap for needing help. My stupid fucking brother doesn't feel a damn thing. Though, I did tell him if I find out he asked for even $5 that I was going to fucking knock him out. Then asked if there were any questions.

so...FUCK!

PS. I like my new "fuck" label.

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

I wounder if my point comes across?

This just sucks

I was told a few weeks ago that there was no need for me to worry. Without this, there is no point in me going to school. It's the green stuff that pays the rent and gets you food. I was told that there in no need to worry...

Come yesterday afternoon I get a phone call from the same person that told me not to worry about it. one of those "I'm sorry, but I can't do it. So start worrying about it again" type of phone calls.

Only now I've quit my job. So I can't even get a loan. First question they ask is "do you have a job?" Bah! No need to worry....

FUCK!

Damn I've been busy!

ever since I've quit my job I've been soooo busy. I haven't made it home before 9:30pm yet this week. So yeah my online class has been slacking. I am not going anywhere tomorrow! Well, I got to go to the bank and try and get a loan for school. That's going to be fun. Shouldn't have a problem at all with a credit score of 3. Oh well, we'll see.

Good night.
