That is insane

One day in middle school a kid in my History class kept begging the teacher for permission to go to the bathroom. She kept saying no until the kid was visably in pain and she finally let him go about 30 minutes before the class ended. Well, he never came back. When class was over and we started walking into the hall, we noticed a nice little present lying in the middle of the hallway a good 10 yards or so away from the bathroom door. It later came out that he just didn't make it and in turn shit his pants, let it fall out of the leg of his pants, and then just sprinted out of the building all the way home. I think it was about a week before he came back to school.

I just scored a gig with this country music revue that's running through most of September....5 rehearsals followed by 12 gigs. The pay is pretty decent too

Awesome man, congrats!

Congratz Ken!!!! Sounds pretty sweet dude!

 

[noble savage]

Cool, Ken! Sounds like a bad ass job! Let me know if you meet any famous scientists!

I'm going to the California Academy of Science this week in San Francisco on my first assignment. Will let you know.

Fuckin' killer ken!

Yesterday was Iron Maiden day where all gathered at snake mountain and we listened to every maiden album in reverse chronological order. I don't remember half of it because i was busy getting annihilated (sorry for the DD there jeffy haha), but i know highlights were singing with everything from Seventh Son on and enjoying various substances. T'was fun times. I'm exhausted now though.

No way. I'll be in San Fran from the 28th to the 1st... will you be there during that time?

 

[Kenneth R.]

Possibly. I don't know yet, probably find out tomorrow.

So the US recaptured the gold in basketball, and I went youtubing for old footage and found one from the 1984 Games in Los Angeles...this was the last time an amateur US b-ball team won the gold...and was right before Jordan's rookie season. I love the announcer's laugh at :12, it's so damn infectious

 

[ABQShredHead]

I think that was also the last time US basketball players knew what teamwork meant as well. Now it's all about me me me and how big my paycheck will be.

 

[Iced Dog]

Yeah, that's why the current team was put together 3 years ago, so they could practice and blend together as a...team, crazy concept. The other international teams play together a lot more often, so they actually have an advantage in that respect.

before anybody bitches about where that resurrected 2002 "VS" thread/poll between Sy-X & DT "disappeared" to, I killed it.... just in case anybody cared, was wondering, needed something to bitch about, etc.

 

[Meedleyx10]

Killed it? How sad...

/endsarcasm

So I finally had my last inspection/walkthrough at my old apartment and couldn't be happier. The lady tried to make issue with a few things (such as the burned carpet and the non-functional stove....that had been that way since before I moved in and they never did anything about) but she shut her mouth pretty quick when I started pulling my signed move-in sheets and some photos from the day I moved in out of my folder. My deposit check is in the mail...we'll see how this part of it turns out.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Great stuff man.

Jeff: I have your number. I will call you. I'm flying out tomorrow.

Going against every feeling and intuition, I set up an On The Virg Myspace account to help generate a little interest among fans (It's doing very well now, surprisingly!), but I have one problem:

Why the fuck does my view counter keep resetting!? The only thing I have done lately is add people and comments and this is the third time (Twice today!) that this has happened. Anyone know why? I'm starting to get pissed off.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Welcome to MySpace!

 

[Kenneth R.]

myspace = epic failure. escape before they set you up the bomb.

So, my job is great but I don't have a lot of time for this sort of thing. Still, pictures may follow.

Wow, I saw Symphony X albums in a local mainstream CD store. Nice to see that the band gets more attention.

 

[Meedleyx10]

weird...I figured you guys would have more mainstream access to their stuff in Europe. I've never had problems finding at least some SX cd's in some of the bigger chains here.

 

[Iced Dog]

same here
