I'm watching this stupid "How Do I Look" show which usually redecorates the lives of middle aged people with a spin of humor. However, this episode, (709) is changing the clothes of a poor 14 year old girl named Danielle Robertson.
I'd like to clear up a few things as I see them.
1.) Older Sister - You are a STUPID SELFISH SHALLOW IDIOT. Grow up and be nice.
2.) MOM - You are HORRIBLE (as a mom, person, etc.) and to boot - STUPID SELFISH SHALLOW... etc (wonder where your daughter 1 got it?). Think about it - you chose to take your poor 14 year old daughter on a TV show to renovate her "style." What a good way to teach her about what is really important in life... clothes.
3.) Danielle - Poor thing, I'm sorry you suffer in a life with people who you care so much about and who are so shallow and selfish. You are an obviously deep person who will mature into a very caring and diverse individual. Look forward to moving out - finding your niche, and not caring about "fashion" as you solve real world problems like hunger, health disparities, and peace.
Dress for Function.

Hello - I just don't see what the big deal about gardasil is.
The patented Kodemistro Outline:
a.) Mothers, your daughters will have sex, get over it . Don't you want them to? Wouldn't you rather them be responsible about it, knowing they have this STD vaccine ahead of time, because responsibility is important - No, you'd rather they'd be ignorant, right?
b.) Read that article - 300 - 500 thousand deaths a year from cervical cancer. Gardisal will prevent 70% of those... that is 210 - 350 thousand deaths a YEAR. Seems like quite the sacrifice because you're in denial about your daughter's sex life.
c.) Perhaps if the vaccine is successful in sales, it will push the drug companies to develop other STD vaccines. Wouldn't you like to see vaccines for Herpes, Syphilis, etc?
d.) I think it is time we all realize that America's puritanical culture and fear of talking about issues openly is pretty much killing us slowly. Not talking about it means ignorance, irresponsibility. Talk to your children about it, let them know it is OK to be open, to be responsible. Then, perhaps when they go to have sex, they'll actually talk to their partner about it, actually discuss it as a choice - wow, what an idea??? and you would have taught them that -
Do It Wisely.

Arguments, Discussions, and Evidential Support
I've always been an advocate of an individual making up his or her own mind about any subject or issue. While arguments are engaging experiences, friendly discussions, I believe, are more fruitful in the end. An argument tends to force one to change thier opinion, it puts them on the defense, it proves them "wrong," it makes them submit. However in a discussion when you are talking about various issues, admitting to certain truths, and tossing around ideas, the "end-result," the final decision about something remains your choice to make. It isn't an agressive experience, it is a peaceful experience where someone isn't forced to make up his or her mind about something (since I believe it perfectly ok to have an un-made up mind).
So - Where am I going with this? I believe that there are some basic truths about all situations. However, every decision usually has a lot more than two answers. A lot of people would like to argue for the sake of a "right/wrong" mentality. However, if I've learned anything in my time here at college, it is that there is no such thing. Problems, Dillemmas, Issues never have an easy straight forward answer. There are always multiple parts to the story, about the speaker, the interpreter, the situation, everything affects the final decision. In the end, the decision must be up to the individual, as the decision must rest well with that person and for whom that person claims responsibility.
Sure, Evidence adds something to the story of every dillema. Every argument has evidence, tangible and non-tangible support for a side or an idea. However, I've found that evidence hardly ever points to a final conclusion. It may refute one issue while creating another. Or support one problem and another problem at the same time. Life is not in a courtroom. Our (humanity) issues are multi-dimensional. Surely, if simple evidence easily supported a quick and universal final answer - there would no longer be any problems.
Money, Forwards, and the Like
Fellow Students,
Recently, we have all noticed a large number of emails circulating our once peaceful Brevard College network making promises of money from Mr. Bill Gates. Aside of the fact that Bill Gates has pledged the majority of his wealth to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (as has Warren Buffet), don't you think it is a bit unbelievable that Bill Gates would give his money to users of email? His wealth has been based on taking money FROM computer users - why would he reverse that?
Furthermore - this forward has quite a bit of history behind it, all of which shows it to be completely false:
As college students we have learned over our time here to question the unquestionable, challenge the facts, and pursue the unreachable. Please, don't lose those skills when it comes to email forwards! We all rely on email for credible college communication between our fellow students, faculty, and staff. Don't ruin it for everyone by sending worthless emails.
If you still want a shot at Bill Gates' money, I encourage you to pursue a grant or scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/default.htm
Best of Luck!

In DDR Hell
SO... I've been kidnapped and placed here, right fricken here, in DDR Hell. For those of you that aren't aware of DDR, it is Dance Dance Revolution. A game where you extend your reality through the use of a floor pad into a "dancing game." Now these aren't steps your mother would teach you, no, these are some hip hoppidy steps fit for well, a DDR Competition. My captors, AJR and BB - who are DDR Fiends. However, there is also AB - who just likes to watch but claims to be "good," Sure.
Well, they finally got me to Revolutionize myself on the DDR.... well, lets say that my Foot-Eye coordination is somewhat lacking. I believe they described it as... LOOK, he is tryig to kill bugs on the floor. At first I thought, oh lord, how embarrasing, I can't DDR (which works as both a noun and verb)... but wait, Who in the heck cares about my ability to DDR... then I realized it. I was in judgement. I was being examined for my skills and talents. Here in NV52... DDR is GOD. It is the path by which all who enter are judged. A formidable labryinth where the lion is waiting. Yes. DDR is Lion here and I am with sowrd, defending my life.
Did I pass? I don't know, all I know - is I'm still breathing, still living (unlike poor HUE). I'm thankful to the Lord for this trial, and hope that in Him and through Him by the Ways of DDR, I will become purified and sanctified into the being I am to become.
Dance Dance.

Snow
So, today it snowed a little bit. Enough to cancel work and close schools. Most business were open on a delay. I fear that tomorrow will be even worse however. It started to rain around 4:30 pm today and has continued to rain into the present time. It is supposed to drop below freezing tonight, which probably means all that pretty rain is going to turn into nasty ice!
Tomorrow I have a Senior Project Meeting and another Committee Meeting. Plus I have 2 classes, one of which has a test. I'm pretty studied up for the test, and prepared, but am not that excited about trying to drive to school to make it there in time.
Today I woke up early and cancelled my computer training class for work, then I went back to bed and woke up periodically for the phone. I finally woke up at what felt to be 10:00 in the morning, but turned out to be well after noon, actually around 2:00 PM. I thought perhaps all the clocks had broken. It is funny how bright it is outside when the ground is covered with snow, it made it look so early everytime I woke up. Early enought to make me want to crawl back into bed and sleep!
Well, hopefully the weather won't be too bad tomorrow. As for now I'm going to snuggle up in bed with a nice oven-pizza and my Honors Cosmology book and learn out to cut some hair!
Studying Hard!

Profit Slips at Sony on Losses for PlayStation 3 - New York Times
All I can say - is MUHAHHAHA. That is what you get for trying to charge so much freaking money for a crappy gaming system when the Wii is far more superior.
Cheers!

Gramma's a Blogger!
So, While I was home in Wilmington this past weekend, my mother delivered to me a copy of my Great Grandmother's near 150 page autobiography. Amazing.
My grandmother isn't anyone super special to the public, she isn't famous, she isn't political, she' is my Great Grandmother. She is however pretty special to my family.
Think, how much do you know about the lives of your parents, grand parents, great grand parents? Do you know anything? I know very little, much of the things I do know are the little positive smiling anecdotes told around the table on Thanksgiving. However, I'm not aware of the struggles, growth, and change in their lives.
My Great Grandmother took the time to write out a collection of thoughts that describe her life and her experience. It is very much a collection of thoughts that were picked here and there, collected in non-flowing (but somewhat sequential) paragraphs, with varying amounts of detail. Still, it is amazing. My Great Grandmother touches on the happy moments, sad, horrifying, and struggles. She was a teacher and described, in great detail all of her favorite students, her battles with people, and her love for God. In the end she even provides a family tree dating back to my GREAT GREAT GREAT Grandparents.
I feel that people are loosing their connection with their family history. Where do you come from, what are you made of? These are questions many can not answer. We are so about the individual, we forget how much our family and society really shapes us!
My great grandmother created her version of a blog. A semi-sequential collection of thoughts and experiences. I hope that my blog captures my life's trials and successes as beautifully as her creation collected hers.
Well Done.

Loose Ends
I'll be graduating from college in May of this year. I'm a little frightened. Granted, I have great plans, exciting plans, plans of relaxation, excitement, peace, serenity, and TIME, glorious beautiful personal TIME!!!
However, I'm still a little shaken up about the whole thing. I keep telling myself that it should be fine, no big deal. To be honest, I'm quite ready for it. I'm beginning to feel like I felt my Senior Year in high School - I'm just fricken through with all the BS (something the world is full of). I'm ready for a change, I'm itching for change.
With that there have been some other changes. My group of friends is begnning to morph. I'm trying to bring some new people into it- shake it up a little. (my newest, and currently favorite is AJR... a hilliarious and exciting individual). Also - I'm contemplating a move into a new location to acquire some new space (current room mate, if you are reading this - we will talk about this on Monday Night). Also, I've ended a more than three year relationship with AHS. While the relationship was rewarding and defining of more than three years, I feel confident it was the best decision to make. In the end, we were different people, with different expectations of a very different future. I think we were simply lying to each other of a continued hope in the relationship. Therfore, BAM it is gone.
So, ENDING, CHANGING, TWISTING, my life is full of tribulation right now. GOSH I LOVE IT.
I just feel like things need to be mixed up, changed around. The past four years I've tried so hard to "fit the mold" to "please others" etc. Now I'm ready for change, I'm ready to be more of myself, more of an individual.
I've always spoken theoretically - I didn't care of other's thoughts about me, peoples antics, and individuals' Bull SHit. Now, I really don't care, I don't want to care, I'm too old to care, and I just don't freaking simply any more give any amount of fricking CARE!!! SO GO AWAY, be gone, don't cry to me, don't whine, get over it, move it, and say freaking good bye. I don't care about how you feel about me if I am too mean, to nice, to full of myself, to cocky, whatever.
I'm confident, so what. This is a full package baby - and you get what you get.
(While there is much to say about all of the fabulous things about me, I won't sit here and relish in them, I'll let others share with you about them... ) :-P
Never the less, thanks for baring through that, I just needed to type/scream.
The point is, I'm too tired of fitting in a box and fulfilling expectations. It is time for me to set the goals and to fulfill my own expectations. Everyone else can get over it, you no longer have a vote or say in my life. That is - it is MY LIFE.
So they are now my expecations - something I will soon share.
Expect Nothing!

I'm Back! For Now.
SO. It has been quite a long amount of time since my last blog. I've learned that something like blogging is an interesting addiction. It haunts you for a short amount of time, you feel committed and the need to blog every day. Then, it just WHOOFS, and leaves you. That is, something usually quickly takes its place. A blog is something you have to make TIME for - something that most do not have a lot of, especially me.
Therefore, let us not pretend. I'm going to blog today, and possibly tomorrow. (I agree -- blogging does help me synthesize some of my thoughts, and I always enjoy people's comments) After that however (tomorrow that is) I may not blog for another six months. So what I'm trying to say, is don't hold me to this. I don't want you people to start posting crap like ("You stopped posting!!!) and crap like that. If I want to, I will, if you don't like it, who cares!
I think this describes the depressive mode I'm in. SO - with that, to the first blog of this season (good thought, treat my return to blogging as the newest Season of Kodemistro Talk, when we go out of season, you'll have have to deal with Re-Runs!)
RE RUNS.
