the poll
kim and i bought tickets to fall out boy playing at my school next month. i hate concerts here in utah generally because i hate the people that go. it’s gonna be so packed with idiots and posers galore. but it should be fun to go with kim. i don’t think we’ve ever been to a show together unless you count n*stync at the olympics. opening for them are the all-american rejects and hawthorne heights. then i bought tickets to taking back sunday which will be in slc some other time this month. that is gonna freaking rock. i’m not sure if kim will come to this one with me. actually, i haven’t told her i bought tickets yet. i’m gonna see if i can get some cool cat to hit it up with me. no clue whose opening but who cares. it’s going to rock.
the postman decided to finally deliver my mail yesterday at like 5 pm. in it came my tickets to the shows and my decision from george mason university. thirteen left. haven't checked today so there may be more to come. and let me tell you, the hammer freaking works like a charm. i've been attacking this ho left and right. i attack, then vacuum, attack, then vacuum. i'm sure the retards upstairs are lovin this. and look at that, when it rains, the postman delivers on time. and deliver another decision she did. today in the mail came university of utah. so five down, twelve to go. and did you catch the fact it's raining outside. i choose to drop five bucks on a car wash yesterday and today it rains. this is my life.
so the numbers are in once again. cbs did a new poll on bush and his approval rating is at an all time low of 34 percent. seventy percent are against the port deal. fifty-eight percent of republicans are also against the deal. thirty percent approve of how he is handling the war. on another high note for the administration, a whopping 18 percent have a favorable view of cock cheney. the approval rating for congress is at 28 percent which is pretty damn low. the funny thing is that people seem to disapprove of how congress is doing, but watch this midterm election and you'll see like 80 percent of all incumbents get reelected. voters are retarded. they hate congress, but love their own rep. this could turn out good though because back in the day in '94 their approval numbers were super low and that was the year the dems lost control of the house. so maybe we will see a shift this year again? hopefully, but don't count on it. the dems are almost as retarded these days as repubs. everyone sucks. except for clinton, obama, and bennett. they get my approval. i think this poll result was hilarious. it asked if they thought saddam hussein was personally involved in the 9/11 attacks. thirty-six percent of republicans, twenty-two percent of democrats, and twenty-nine percent of independents all said yes to this question. where are these people living? are people this retarded to still believe this? if you are reading these words right now and you would answer yes to this question, i forever will think you are mentally retarded unless you can provide any evidence of such a moronic statement. please email this to me if you think this. or just go read a newspaper and get your head out of your ass. it scares me to know that one in three republicans have this view. geez people.
why don't i ever get polled? i wish someone would call me and involve me in this. i want to be summoned for jury duty. instead freaking tom gets called and has no desire to go. pick me pick me! why hasn't anyone called about getting me hooked up with the nielsen ratings? does no one out there want my opinion? you freaking do, so why can't people that matter want it? i'm kidding of course. but seriously, call me already. because no one cares to ask, i'll just conduct a poll of one: me.

the recap
so the olympics are over finally. i think most people forgot they were still on sometime last week. we certainly had the cream of the crop when it comes to being dysfunctional. aside from drunkenness, verbal fights, physical fights, showing off, choking under pressure, immature over-hyped out of shape and uncaring dicks named bode miller, and getting about ten metals less than salt lake, we had a few good moments. apolo did really good. except for that idiot jacobellis, our snowboarders did okay. everyone was impressed with our ice dancing team, although it could just be because that chick was the hottest girl in olympic history. i gotta say though, she's only been an american citizen for not even two months now, so she doesn't really count when it comes to giving the u.s. props. that one goes to canadia. speaking of, those damn liberals to the north got only one metal less than us. rounding out the top five, we have communist russia which has basically turned into a third world country. they got 22 metals, notably in cross country skiing, figure skating, zero fluoride in their drinking water, and the men's competition for long flowing hair. nazi austria came in fourth with 23, pretty much all in skiing where the women are either hot as sin or ugly as dogs. at number three is canadia who rocked the house all around. i got no beef with these guys. we could learn a thing or two from them. numero dos es estados unidos de america con veinticinco. our forte was speed skating and boarding of course, but that will soon end once europe learns how to snowboard. and the number one for most metals goes to nazi germany for 29 total. they won for bobsledding and lots of skiing. and every country gets a gold metal in my book for being bilingual except for the u.s. who i am disqualifying. it seemed like there wasn't a single gold metal winner from a foreign country that they'd interview who couldn't speak english. good job world. way to let us down america.
i'm still working on the fungi in the closet. this room has turned into a disaster because i've had to take out everything to get to it all. any ideas on what i should do without having to call a carpet cleaner person or replace the carpet? maybe like some trick of pouring sugar water on it and it disappears like vapoorizer from that terrible movie envy. in a little while i'm going to take a hammer to it and see what that does. i gotta do something. i can't stand this freaking mess.
The Cave (2005): let’s see, a group of trained cave divers go into a mysterious cave in romania, only to find crazy bat creatures trying to kill them and now they must escape. there was certainly nothing new here. do they really think they are coming up with some unique idea that people will love to see? you wonder who thinks up these movies. at the beginning of these types of movies you’ll see about five or six production studios we’ve never heard of that are being credited. i wonder if this is because when the writers or producers are pitching the idea to studios, no single studio is willing to give them all the money they need to make it, so they have to go to twenty to split the production costs twenty ways. lame acting, lame script, unbelievable occurrences, unbelievable decision making by the characters, and special effects that were decent four years ago. i’m not sure what i was expecting when i first decided to see this after seeing the trailer, but it’s predictable from the start. the only thing that i incorrectly predicted was if the black guy was gonna die at the end. usually movies like this always have some hard ass black guy who never makes it to the final scenes. this one actually made it, although he never gets to speak at then end and only gets a hug from the main main. as for the rest of the characters, just go down the list of all your typical characters in every other movie and they are in here: hot looking scientist chick, naïve old foreign scientist who funds the project, cocky good looking guy who is able to save the day, hard ass black guy, etc. it goes on and on. hard to follow at times because they are throwing so much information at you from every sentence out of these retards’ mouths. they end it by implying the story can continue on. don’t count on a sequel though. i’m sure they just had no better way to end the movie. speaking of sequels, i saw today at the movie store that the prince and me 2 is out. i think it’s staring the same people that were in land before time 8 and cruel intentions 3. this is a very dark side to film making that no one should stoop so low to venture into. anyways, obviously not worth seeing so i’ll leave it at that.
getting a little worried about these trips i'm throwing together because i'll be missing a lot of school. if there happens to be a test on one of those days them i'm screwed. the syllabus of one class does show a test on that tuesday, but she's so out of whack when it comes to following her schedule that there is a good chance it won't happen. plus, she lets us drop one exam though i'd hate to use it like that. i didn't realize how close it was coming too. you'd be proud cuz i've been really crackin at my school work. last night i finished my "interoffice memo #2" for my computerized legal research class that is due today by 5:30 and boy it's a good one. the last one i did i had three weeks to work on it and half assed it like the night before, but i still got 38/40 points. this time i actually thought it out and i'm pretty sure i did a good job. with my luck though it will somehow end up being a lower grade than the first one.
it’s such a beautiful day outside. spring is upon us. rollin in a clean car, windows down, grooving to kohs. only one thing is missing. i'll let you speculate.

the biggest loser
of course i'm talking about america's biggest retard bode miller. i am happy to announce that he goes home with zero metals. the u.s. should be proud to claim bode as the most hyped up, sucky skier in olympic history. maybe next time you shouldn't be such an ass you homo. here's an actual quote from this douche: "Me, it's been an awesome two weeks," Miller said. "I got to party and socialize at an Olympic level." partying, socializing, and sucking at basketball, he must have forgotten the real reason he was there in the first place. now go home you disgraceful stupid lush.
so i got my first decision in the mail yesterday. regardless if it was an acceptance or rejection, i'm just glad to finally get something. this first one is from ohio state university. and no, i'm not telling what the decision was. and don't bother asking cuz only myself and kim will know. and kim will only know if she bothers to check out the side of the refrigerator. there will be three stacks magnetized on the fridge: wait list, accepted, rejected. so if you do want to know the status so far, come on over and check out the fridge. in fact, i think i'll check the mail now and see if i got anything else...well take a look at that. it pays to check the mail. i can now scratch off university of illinois and northeastern university. well, three down, fourteen to go.
my hair is getting so long that it's going into my ears now. it's pretty annoying. and i look like a bum now. i can't wait for summer time to hit so i can play video games for days on end. i still need to work on san andreas, call of duty, and maybe i'll get halo 2. i'll play the first one fo sho. life will be so easy then. granted life is pretty easy now, but no one wants to do homework. we have some mold fungus alien growth thing happening in our spare bedroom closet that i've been trying to destroy the past few days. i'm losing the battle. went to carl's last night and i got this cheap ass chicken sandwich that just did not do it for me. two bites and i was done. got a delicious chocolate shake from baskin robbins, brought it home, cat knocked it on the carpet and it basically poured out everywhere. yeah i pretty much went on a rampage. and now we have a nice brown stain in the front room. then we watched return of the king extended version and holy crap, why did they cut the part of the sauron's crazy looking teeth guy from the theatrical version??? that was crazy to watch. would have been one of the most memorable scenes from the movie. that was probably the highlight of my night.
so there is this assclown named jim michaelis who is some vp at uvsc. i think he is charge of planning and facilities. either way, he's in charge of parking as well. originally he said, "sure, since the police department is moving closer to campus, we'll give you all employee parking passes so you can park right next to where you'll work. oh, and don't worry about students cuz we'll give them a pass also." one week later..."well, actually, the three students that work for you are going to have to pay for student parking passes, park in a student lot, and walk to their work even if it's snowing and 1 at night. the reason? well my official statement is probably to be fair to other students that work on campus or that it's just the way the rules are. but really it's because i'm a douche and i wouldn't want to skip out on making a few extra bucks for the parking nazis even though dispatch helps out parking more than they probably should." i'm sure if he ever read this then he'd try and get me fired or suspended, so keep this between you and me. the lady at work said we wouldn't actually be moving now until maybe the end of april anyways, so none of this really matters i guess. but still, like mel gibon in payback, i'm a man of principle.
well i work tonight from 1 to 7, so if are you just dying to talk to me, give the old uvsc police department a call and your friendly neighborhood dispatcher will be glad to chat. but not too much, i have homework and movies to watch. have a chill saturday.

the thrill is gone
how did i get so lazy? well, today started out lazy, then my illness got worse so i kinda had an excuse to be lazy. but seriously. i had nothing to do today and could have gotten so much done, but ended up sleeping about six hours during the day. but i feel like crap now and all nasty. i’m about to register for doing the whole graduation thing. it’ll cost $25 to rent the cap and gown and get my tassel. i could pay more and some souvenir tassel and the “gold stole of gratitude,” but what the hell will i do with that crap? let’s keep it cheap. i already had to pay $40 to apply for graduation. and apparently i’m graduating summa cum laude so that’ll cost me $15 for some medallion. then i’ll need frames for my diplomas which i’ve asked kim to get me as my grad present. so for two of those that adds up to over $160. i don’t think i’ll be buying announcements (is that bad?) or a school ring. do people still buy those for college? and now i have to decide how i want my name read. (insert all your ethan grover jokes here) my options are ethan chambers, big daddy mack e propa, ethan allen chambers, or ethan a. chambers. we’ll go with allen. and away it goes. i still don’t want to do it all. it’s all awkward when they call your name and i remember looking terrible in that stupid hat. i’m not sure why, but graduating and getting honors with the word cum in it, none of it really means much. it’s not like i’m using these degrees as my ticket to a career. they are basically a ticket to go to another school. maybe i’m looking at it all wrong. whatever, i’m just sick. and i have lots of homework. kim should be home soon with a jamba juice for me. i haven’t had one of those since before the internship. speaking of, tomorrow morning is when the boss speaks at my school so i can’t wait for that.
i’m running out of things to talk about. i have to work tomorrow and early, early sunday. the only good about that is that it’ll be homework time. i’m still working on getting my stupid employee parking pass from my school. first time i went they looked at me like an idiot and the guy i was supposed to talk to was gone for the day. next time i go they act like they knew all along what i was in there to get, but then see that i’m a student with 17 credits and if i want an employee pass, i’m gonna have to pay for it and get a student pass instead. in one of my shining moments i walked out on them while they were mid-sentence and called my work to get it all straightened out. you really think i’m gonna pay for a parking pass half way through the semester so that i can park to go to work? screw that shit. this is all completely retarded and should have been worked out already by my work and the parking whores. so i sit and wait in their stupid office for about fifteen minutes while they “straighten it out” and they come back and tell me that they can’t get in touch with the guy who they need to talk to about it all. “sorry, there’s just a bit of confusion. when we get in touch with him, we’ll call your work and let them know.” so that was yesterday and i haven’t heard anything back. so i’m sure i’ll be making a trip there a third time next week to get this taken care of.
mmmm, kim is home.
