ANNUAL "BIG TEXT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS" EDITION!


ILLIAD is a pcw (pretty cool word) but the poem/story whatever sucks.
The oddyssey? KWITB? (Know what I'm talkin' 'bout?)  but illiad is a pcw.  I like it because I spell it like this: I-L-L-I-A-D.  That is how I spell it.  Is that the correct spelling?  Please standby while I google that, and in the meantime, enjoy this nice elevator music.  




No.  I was wrong.  The correct spelling of the word is "I-L-I-A-D."  This simple removal of a letter makes this word 96% not cool.  


QUALIFICATION #1- I keep forgetting to spell the word "illiad" correctly.  See?!  I just forgot!  This suck.  S.  


Please watch this show on your telivision video RCA cassette tape USB recording DVR comcast machine viewing screen for entertainment and shows video viewer 5000:

Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!

I keep forgetting to watch that show. jkjkjkjkjkjkjk.  I told myself to say that.  I wish that I didn't have to listen to myself.  When will we own ourselves completely?  (BIG, BOLD NOTE: THAT WAS QUALIFICATION #2)  dON'T ASK ME BECAUSE i HAVE NO IDEA.  wHOOPS i FORGOT TO TURN OFF CAPS LOCK.  Ok, well, now it's off.  Or is it?  I could be lying.  I could just press shift for every letter in a sentence, except for the first letter of the first word AND the "I's."  
I'm not lying.  I turned it off.  


Which brings me to my next point:
What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow? 


"And tonight is not the last time I'll see the light" is something I would not normally say.


Its just strange.


I wouldn't know how to use it.


Oh wait,


I just did.

teh hero's jouney

Let me start off by saying "teh" was not a mistake.
anyway, I chose a pretty boss nerd movie called

• Why cant I insert a freaking table?  this is some bullshti.
• ORDINARY WORLD- Scott lives w/ Wallace, dates high school girl, is in a band, hangs out w/ knives (high school girl) at arcade, tells epic tale of puck-man and paku paku, which means to flap one's mouth open and closed. then one day he sees Ramona Flowers in a library
• CALL TO ADVENTURE-   Scott is at a party looking for this one girl with hair like this

and when he finds her he is like "erm hurderp paku man flaps his lips when he derps because Japanese people don't like vandalism cuz you could scratch out the p and make it an f herpderp"

• REFUSAL OF THE CALL- "kay ill leave you alone forever now"
• MEETING WITH THE MENTOR- I don't feel that there is a clear and present mentor.  Wallace encourages him throughout, but that's because he needs Scott out of the house.
• CROSSING THE THRESHOLD- Welp, after Scott orders the package from amazon (which he signs for ((like a boss)) and immediately throws away) he goes outside for a walk w/ Ramona and they see a "thingy" which is a magical door that they open and go into a special world in which they can fly.  (I guess they just typed "t/fly" or something.)  Anyway, they wind up at her house where poor Scott gets a bad case of blue balls.
• TESTS, ALLIES, ENEMIES- Ramona informs Scott that he may have to defeat her 7 evil exes. "you have seven evil ex boyfriends?"  "Seven evil exes, yes."  The first one is at the battle of the bands.  Right after sex bob-omb plays he crashes through the roof, and is quickly mocked for his pirate-like attire.  throughout the movie he has 6 additional evil exes to face.
• APPROACH- I'm having trouble with this one. "stakes are heightened..." I suppose stakes are heightened when Wallace tells Scott that he needs to move out soon... I'm skipping this one.  Take off points if you must.
• ORDEAL- the toughest battle is with g-man, where he quite literally dies and is reborn, (or re-spawned, in this case) after which he kills him.
• REWARD- Scott's reward is that g-man is dead, but both Knives and Ramona are like "wtf mate" because he cheated on both of them w/ the other.
• THE ROAD BACK- well i guess he walks down some stairs...
• RESURRECTION- Now he must fight "Nega-Scott," an opposite of himself, but it turns out that they just talked and their gonna meet for lunch next week.
• RETURN WITH ELIXIR- There aint no elixir.  He walks off w/ Ramona because Knives claims that she is too cool for him anyways.
That was great.

What do true warriors strive for?

GREG8 IS A GUY who manages a pizza planet.  His days normally consist of screaming and discovering new ways to torture toys.  One day he decides to tape 26 bottle rockets to a G.I. Joe figure.  It sparks wildly and before he can react it hits him in the face.  He is now horribly disfigured (he was only mildly disfigured before) and he decides to make a change.  He will stop torturing toys and he will talk to that employee of his, "super bro-bro."  He will have to come out of the closet with his parents, however.


Will he be able to do it?
How will super bro-bro react?
Can he curb his cravings to torture toys?
Should he try to suck steak through a straw?

Spongebob Squarepants

Young Spongebob Squarepants is a creature who lives in a house made of fruit deep in the sea.  His skin is a yellow, spongy, absorbent material.  This is most likely due to the fact that he is a sponge.  As expected, Mr. Squarepants finds himself getting into much nautical nonsense.

Hello Mr. and Ms. Journal
Today it is a sunny day outside.  The air is getting hot; the brew is getting flat.  The vultures are squawking with the excitement and anticipation of finding a dead raccoon in the road.  This afternoon, when I walked out of my house, the vultures attacked me!  I ran back inside to grab the t-shirt gun.  Once they saw that, they scattered.  I managed to peg just one of them before they were gone.  Everyone knows that vultures are not aggressive when angered or provoked.  Later, when I walked to the outdoor fish market, I saw a man selling something that I noticed was not fish.  The man was Mr. Meandmykatamari.  He told me that he was selling vulture meat, so I bought 3 pounds of it.  Tomorrow I will roast it in the oven.  I hope I don't get sick. Thank you for your time.

A death rattle has ignited,
A direct hit, a blazing fireball.
All blast force is extinguished immediately.
Only resistant material is spared.
They open their eyes and mouth, making a chirp-like noise.
They sound close, but the distance is great.
The explosions can be heard up to 100 blocks away!
Often the impact is not seen.
The projectile is quite slow, the shot is reflected back.
The scream!
A tear falls into the lava.
The pigmen go into pursuit mode.
But the tear is in an innaccessable area.

Then I was like No way and you were like no way


That was great.

How to customize your journal

Journals are great, but many people like the ability to fully customize their blog.
That's why I made this list of ways to customize your journal as if it were a blog.


1-CHANGING FONTS/FONT COLORS

This one is pretty simple.  To change the font, simply take your pen or pencil and style what you are writing to your preference.  To change the color, write in colored pencil. 

2-POSTING A VIDEO

This one doesn’t require as many supplies, but is very expensive.  You will need:

·         1 roll scotch tape

·         1 or more ipod touch device (depending on how many videos you want to post)

First, turn on the ipod touch and locate the desired video.  Click (tap) the video to play it.  Pause the video as soon as it begins to play.  Turn the ipod touch off by pressing the button at the top.  Tape the ipod touch to the desired page in your journal.  Write instructions beneath ipod touch: “To play video, press button on side and press play button in center.  When finished, press button on side again.  DO NOT PUSH THE CIRCLE BUTTON!”  It may be helpful for some if you also post the picture to the right next to the directions (SEE- "POSTING A PICTURE" BELOW)

3-POSTING A PICTURE

This one is slightly more difficult.  You will need:

·         1 roll scotch tape

·         Scissors

·         1 ink cartridge (preferably colored)

·         1 printer

·         1 computer

·         Internet connection (depending on whether the desired image is saved to a hard drive, or you need to find it yourself)

First, find the desired image on the computer and print it.  Second, cut out the desired portion.  Finally, tape the picture into the journal.

4-CREATING A SLIDESHOW WIDGET

This is very similar to the “POSTING A PICTURE” instructions, but you will also need a stapler and staples.  Print all of the pictures that you want to include in your slide show.  Don’t cut them out.  Staple all of your pictures together at the top left and top right corners (Bonus tip- to conserve staples, put only one staple in the top center of the pages.)  Staple the packet to the desired page in your journal. 

5-CREATING A MUSIC WIDGET

The second method is very similar to the “POSTING A VIDEO” instructions, but you will need one more supply.

·         iTunes (free to download here)

You will need to put your music on to iTunes, either by purchasing it, or uploading music from a CD that you already own.  Next, connect the ipod touch to the computer using the USB cord.  The ipod touch should show up in the iTunes sidebar.  Drag the desired music onto the ipod touch device in the sidebar.  Wait until the music has finished uploading, then disconnect the ipod touch from the computer.  Turn on the ipod touch and locate the desired playlist.  Once the playlist is opened, turn off the ipod touch and tape it into your journal.  Make sure to leave some similar directions for the reader.

6-CREATING A “PAGE VISIT” COUNTER

This one will require some cooperation from others.  At the bottom of each page, draw a little box.  Write instructions that say: “Each time you read this page, please put one tally mark in the box above.”

Death

Death isn't so bad....
You'll respawn eventually.


My dog Sugar was a very good dog.  She was a brown boxer with a stubby little tail.  She liked most of the things that dogs like; She liked to go for walks and get treats and be played with.  She really liked to run when she was younger.  She would sprint back and forth between two people.  The only thing I remember her not liking was putting her head out of the window in the car. 

Even as she got old, she always loved to play.  She would still be just as energetic, but she would only get tired faster.  The hair on her face became [grey, gray] and she would sleep more often.  She would rarely ever whine, because she couldn't hear the things outside like she once was able to.  Even when the doorbell would ring, she would only poke her head up and look around, wondering if she heard something, or if it was only her imagination.  When we would get up to go answer the door, that is when she would start to bark.  That is when she knew that someone really had rung the doorbell.

Boxers are very prone to different types of cancer, and she started to develop all sorts of lumps on her back and stomach.  We had many of them removed, but they kept coming back.  They would come back bigger and worse than before.  Eventually, there was nothing that could be done and we had to put her down.  It was very sad for the whole family.

Quite possibly the greatest story of all time...

Spider and the Honey Tree
Phillip Martin

 

There was once a young girl from a village far way who had a special talent for finding the very best foods in the bush. Her oranges were just a little sweeter, her plums just a little larger, and her bananas had just a little more flavor. Everyone wondered where she located such delicious fruits. But, nobody ever asked the girl about her secrets of the bush. That is, nobody asked her after they heard the story about Spider and this young girl.

One day Spider asked this young girl to help him look for food. He was too lazy to work for himself and was sure he could trick this girl into sharing her secrets. He didn't know how clever this girl could be.

"Little girl, nobody finds fruits as sweet as yours," cooed the spider. "Will you please take me with you when you go looking in the bush?"

"I've never done that before," replied the girl.

"It would mean so much if you could do it one time," pleaded Spider.

"Well, I suppose I can do it just once," agreed the girl. "Do you promise to keep my secrets?"

"You can trust me," promised the lazy spider.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Well, I like plums and bananas, of course, but I especially love honey."

"I think I can help you," grinned the girl.

Spider couldn't believe his luck.

The girl lead Spider along the path into the bush. She took him down trails into areas where people rarely ever go. Spider grinned because he knew he was about to learn her secret places for finding the very best food. After learning this, he would never again have to work hard for good food.

"This plum tree," explained the girl, "does not have much fruit so most people ignore it, but its plums are the sweetest ones in all of the bush."

Now Spider was just as greedy as he was lazy. As soon as the young girl showed him the secret plums, his eyes became wide and his mouth began to water. Then, Spider shoved the little girl into the bushes. He rushed past her and climbed up into the tree. Then, he ate every single one of the plums. He didn't even leave one plum for the little girl. And, he didn't even say thank you!

After his feast, Spider rubbed his very full belly and thought, "This is the best day of my life! What a great idea! I can't believe she showed me where her plums are found. I wonder if she will take me to any bananas? She must be very foolish."

Spider looked down at the girl with his biggest smile and she asked politely, "Do you want any of my special bananas?"

He raced down out of the tree before the girl could change her mind.

The girl continued down the path showing Spider her secrets of the bush. They walked further down the trail into areas where people rarely ever go. "Over here is a small patch of the very best bananas," declared the young girl. Again, as soon as Spider learned the secret, his eyes became wide and his mouth began to water. Again, he shoved the little girl into the bushes. He rushed past her and climbed the banana plants. He ate every single one of the ripe bananas. Again, he left the young girl with nothing -- not even one banana. And once again, he didn't even say thank you!

His belly was so full, but Spider was not satisfied. He wanted to learn more of the secret places of the bush. He thought to himself, "This girl is really foolish. But, as long as she guides me, I will continue to eat all of her food."

Again, Spider looked down at the little girl and smiled. Once again, the young girl looked up at Spider and politely asked, "Are you too full or would you like to find some honey?"

One more time, Spider rushed out of the tree and followed the girl down the trail before she had a chance to change her mind.

The young girl guided Spider deeper and deeper into the bush where people rarely ever go. "Over here," she instructed, "is a very special tree. Deep inside a small hole is the most delicious honey in all of the bush."

Now this girl was not nearly as foolish as Spider thought. She had a plan to teach this greedy spider a lesson. She remembered that Spider loved honey and was not surprised at all when his eyes became wide and his mouth started to water. She also wasn't surprised when he shoved her into the bushes, ran past her, climbed up the tree, and squeezed into the hole. Again, he ate all of the sweet golden honey, sharing nothing with the young girl. He didn't even share one drop. And once again, he didn't even say thank you.

When Spider had eaten his fill, he tried to climb out of the tree but he couldn't get out the hole. His stomach had grown too large. He was stuck!

"Help me, young girl," cried the spider. "I cannot get out of the tree!" 

"You wouldn't be stuck if you hadn't been so selfish," scolded the girl.

"I'm sorry for what I did! Please call for help," cried Spider.

"I am not as foolish as you think. You aren't sorry for what you did. You are only sorry you are caught in the tree."

"No, you're wrong," lied the spider but in his heart he knew she was right. He had enjoyed every minute, every bite of food, as long as he thought he was tricking the young girl. He never expected his idea to turn into such a problem for him. "Please call for help! I am trapped!"

Finally, a smile crossed over the little girl's face and she said she would do as the spider asked. She cried for help -- as softly as she could, "Help! Help! The foolish spider is caught inside the honey tree. Help! Somebody come and help this greedy spider!" Of course, nobody could hear her whispers for help. And, nobody could hear Spider's cries from deep inside the tree. They were too far into the bush where people rarely ever go.

Finally, the little girl looked up at Spider with a clever grin. "Good bye, Spider, I am going to get some huge oranges for my family. If you want to eat some, just follow me there." She waved to him as she left to go down the trail.

I have some questions

Can anyone tell me why a dog would ever be wearing a backpack?


How are you feeling today?
How is your temperature?


How is your stomach?


How does a coffee maker work?


Why do the coffee making machines sometimes break?


When the coffe machine in my house broke, my dad was mad


Why do dogs not wear backpacks more often?


In fact, come to think of it, I have never seen a dog wearing a backpack.


I will look one up.

That is pretty cool, I guess.

But why would a dog wear a backpack?

Oh!

What a convenient web page.

TOP TEN REASONS FOR A DOG TO WEAR A BACKPACK

1. Your dog will get more exercise while wearing his dog backpack.
A tired dog is a good dog. But let’s face it, how often are our dogs actually tired? Whether you go for an hour run or a 15-minute walk, you will get tired faster than your dog. If you want him to get rid of some extra energy, slip his backpack on him and add some weight to the pockets. I put cans of soup or books in the sides, but you could use anything. Bags of sand would work well because they wouldn’t make any noise. Just be careful not to add too much weight, especially in the beginning. Work up to more weight. My mutt weights about 60 pounds, and he probably carries about 6-10 pounds in his pack, depending on the intensity of our workout.


2. Your dog can carry his own stuff in his dog backpack.
When you travel, it will be handy to load up all your dog’s stuff in his own bag. When I travel with my mutt, I put his food, toys, bowls and whatever else he needs in his backpack. It’s just less stuff for me to carry, and his stuff is all in one spot.

3. Your dog can carry your stuff in his backpack, too.
The Ruff Wear dog backpack has plenty of room in the pockets for more stuff than my mutt can possibly need. So guess what? He is often stuck carrying some of my stuff or my cat’s stuff.


4. A dog backpack makes a good water/beer carrier.
When you’re out on a run, but don’t want to carry water along, just put a bottle or two in your dog’s backpack. He won’t mind. Put a bowl in there and he can have a drink as well. This also works for carrying beer. If you fill the pack with ice, you might have one good beer bitch on your hands -although the beer might be a bit shaken up!


5. Your dog can carry his own doggy bags in his backpack.
I don’t know about your dog, but when I’m out on a long run with my mutt, he tends to stop and poop three or four times. There aren’t always trash cans or Dumpsters handy, and I don’t like to leave it behind. So, I pick it up, double or triple bag it, and have my mutt carry his own poop. Now that’s a dog with a purpose! This is kind of embarrassing if someone sees you, but it’s better than running with a poop bag in each hand – something I have done many times!


6. Carrying a dog backpack gives your dog a job to do.
A lot of dogs need a purpose. Carrying his own backpack will give your dog a job. Not only will it help eliminate extra physical energy, but it will also give him a mental challenge. This will also help to get rid of pent-up energy. You don’t have to put any weight at all in the pack to give your dog a mental challenge. Just wearing the pack is all it will take, especially as your dog is getting used to the pack.
Ace wore his empty pack on a 20-mile marathon training run with me. Wearing the pack for such a distance was not to tire Ace out, but to challenge him mentally.
Dogs get bored easily. And when they are bored they develop bad habits such as barking, chewing or ripping up carpet. Some dogs develop obsessions or anxieties. My mutt is obsessed with a tennis ball because he was not challenged enough mentally or physically his first year of life. Having him wear his backpack is a great way to challenge him and help him overcome his tennis ball obsession.


7. The dog will not be as focused on pulling.
If your dog is focused on carrying his own backpack, he will be less focused on pulling, being first and getting over excited about other dogs and people. I have worked for years now on loose-leash walking with Ace. He has come a long way. Still, he will pull if he is wearing a flat collar and we are in an “exciting” area. If he wears his backpack, he is less likely to pull. It was a great tool during the first few months I had Ace and I was teaching him the concept of “heel.”


8. Your dog can go on more trips.
I like to bring my mutt on as many outdoors activities as possible. When I go camping or backpacking, he carries his own gear and then some. I can’t imagine going backpacking without my dog. It would not be as fun for me without Ace along. Even if he didn’t carry his own gear, I would still want him to tag along. However, it really comes in handy to give him a job.


9. It’s easier to see your dog while he wears his dog backpack.




10. The dog backpack will last a long time.
The pack is very durable, and I expect it to last Ace’s lifetime.
03/10/09 edit: Ace’s pack ripped when he crashed between two trees. Apparently he didn’t comprehend how his body was wider while wearing a full pack. He ran between two trees at full speed and ruined his pack. That being said, his pack did withstand a lot of abuse from Ace before the tree incident. Ace wore it out in the snow, and he ran through the woods and fields with his pack on, often scraping against brush and branches. I plan to purchase the same pack for Ace and expect it to last years.

These all seem like some good reasons, but I wonder if all dogs like backpacks, or only some?

Do you have a dog?

Do you have any pets?

Do you like dogs?

Do you wish you had a pet?

Where is my mind?

Also, what's up with this?

okay, look at this...
