SIRIUS - SPA 73 = Greatest Radio Ever! The Smashing Pumpkins are good too. I was at Bonnaroo today...
Counting today I only have two days left here in France and I'm pretty down about it. I really don't want to leave because there is still so much I want to do. I wasn't even able to get to Andorra due to bus schedule times. I was really looking forward to getting up there in the mountains again. This is likely my last visit to France for a year or more though so that sucks as I'm also leaving right before the Tour de France. However, there are so many things I have to do back home in Chicago that I don't know where to begin. I have one more set of photos to release here. I may put them up later today.

I've tried the tennis and I found it waay too easy, havn't tried the boxing yet. I was just wondering if people had any other recommendations other than that one.
I heard Super Paper Mario is actually pretty fun if you like the Mario games. It's so hard to find a Wii nowadays though unless you look for one online. Been trying to get one for a while now.
I'd like to visit South Africa some day. Kobe fans like to think of him as "Jesus." So can they really complain if Bryant gets "crucified" by the media? They should've seen it coming. Office attire makes girls look hotter. I've been into playing poker lately. Getting pretty good at it, too. Just finished reading "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and I absolutely loved it. It was so clever and the dialogue was captivating. The ending kind of reminded me of one of my favourite quotes. Its something along the lines of: Man is stuck in the unfortunate situation of thinking about the past while living in the present. I wish I could remember who said that and how they said it (think it was an existentialist philosopher). Why are Americans so paranoid about the word "socialism"?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Office attire makes girls look hotter.</div> Damn right. Especially those sleak black outfits some wear with the little cleavage showing and the hair tied back. That's usually nice to peak at.

That whole secretary role play...it's great.

Also, since we all know that Chris Bosh is 6'11", I can confidently say that "CB4 is bigger than Jesus."

After reading the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad I'm getting into Economics. I just got some other books: The Wealth of Nations, Creating Wealth, and this other investing book. Cash Rules Everything Around Me, C.R.E.A.M. get the money. Dollar, dollar bill, y'all! For some reason that song has been stuck in my head for like a month.

Now superman cannot be destroyed and I know energy cannot be created or so they say, but energy cannot be destroyed either, so who would win. Also I don't know how many of you remember Dragon Ball Z, but that show I loved it, until it got to a point where every episode there would be 1 kick or punch or 10 episodes of Goku or someone making a ball of energy to shot at someone, pissed me off so much.
So, I walked to my university's Department of Religious Studies at lunch, to sort out some issues with my final grades (whole 'nother story). When I got there I had to sit in the waiting room for like 15-20 minutes which sucked ass. Anyways, while I'm waiting, I end up looking out the window and I see this cute chick standing near the curb of the sidewalk and just waiting for people to walk by. At first I thought she was with some charitable organization, but she was only approaching women and it looked like she was with some sort of sorority (there's a UofT's Women's Assoc. or something like that nearby). After I while it kind of struck me that she was only getting up to talk to attractive girls, though. She'd look over girls that were about to pass her, make a judgment call very quickly, and zoom in on ones that were obviously good looking (usually white, fit, showing more skin). The whole thing struck me as pretty wierd but very funny. Eventually, me and a couple other dudes in the waiting room started placing bets on which girls she would approach. She was real picky. Just thought I'd share probably the highlight of my work day. The whole thing reminded me of that scene in Napolean Dynamite when Summer and that other girl are handing out buttons for her class president campaign, and they're all choosy about which people they'll give them to.
That film was funny as hell. "Napoleon, you're just jealous because I've been chatting with babes all day."

<div class="quote_poster">Chutney Wrote</div><div class="quote_post"> Why are Americans so paranoid about the word "socialism"?</div> It doesn't work.
<div class="quote_poster">shapecity Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">It doesn't work.</div> Doesn't mean that there aren't concepts associated with it that are worth thinking about. Some times I get the impression that its like a taboo word down there.

Some times I get the impression that its like a taboo word down there.</div> I knew a socialist kid in high school. He was a real fat, pasty nerd who would wear metal t-shirts. Come to think of it, anyone into politics was a real nerd back then. But anyway, so this kid drove a red Jeep with lots of anarchistic symbols on them and stupid **** like Bob Marley, even though the kid never smoked weed, yet was ironically very fat. Moral of the story, socialists suck.
Socialism such as soviet communism is good in theory, if everyone was in on it, and if they could figure out the demands of the market quicked (instead of under/overproducing for a long time without caring). Social democracy, like we have here in Sweden, is a pretty good system. Basically, what it means for the population is we have a market economy and pretty high taxes (highest in the world as I understand it), but healthcare and many of the welfare things (such as education)are free/very cheap because of that. For example, I (or anyone else, like a foreign citizen) wouldn't have to pay anything to get in to a college or university here (although there would be costs for living, litterature and that kind of stuff).
