My friend has been begging me to fill this thing out, so here we go.

If you had one wish, what would it be? For infinite wishes, if I'm allowed. If not, then I'd wish for all knowledge and wisdom.

How can everyone not be trampling over one another in the pursuit of knowledge? I was thinking last night about this. I think about all the things I know now that I didn't know ten years ago, a year ago, last month, yesterday. What knowledge is waiting for me now, that later I will consider vital? What information do I currently lack that I will soon wish I had acquired sooner? Perhaps that I'm insane.

Mandy Moore is cute, but she's becoming very annoying.

I saw this movie the other day. I usually give some sort of rating, but on this one I'm not.

First of all, Michael Moore is a tad annoying. I can't stand his nasal passage; he shouldn't narrate. He also seems too closed-minded and displays an ego, which he doesn't mind stoking on camera.

As for the messages in his movie, they're very interesting, valid or not. The whole concept of fear and consumerism particularly held my attention. I think some of that is true. I also think, however, that these things are untrue: 1) Eric and Dylan went bowling that morning, 2) the splicing of Charlton Heston's speeches was fair, 3) Michael Moore made a clear point and defines himself well, and 4) he hid or altered nothing. Number 3 may not be very arguable, though, because he apparently claims this film is also satire and comedy. I guess when you say that, things become easier to defend when inaccuracies are discovered.

I don't really know what else to say about this film, other than it was very entertaining and thought-provoking.

I finally got my new computer up and running. I love it. 512MB of RAM, 60GB harddrive, XP, 17-inch flatscreen monitor. And I'm using DSL Lite, which connects at 10Mbps. All this is much better than before. It takes me far less time to complete school work, and everything else. Jeff had to come out and hook up the DSL, though. He had to take the phone apart to connect the wires and crap, which I didn't know how to do. He was here for a while. I'd never met him before, he's pretty cool.

It started snowing this morning at around four. I turned on the television and they had the little window at the bottom, listing names of schools and businesses that are closed today. Ours finally came up. I closed my Web Design book and went to bed. It's been colder than normal around here. It's only supposed to be 7 degrees tomorrow morning. The snow's not going anywhere. That's fine by me.

I was unfortunate enough to be invited to the Sports chatroom on AIM a while back. What I discovered inside was depressing. This is real, I swear.

Tired from thinking, they decided to end the argument with a mutual "whatever." Sadly, this is 100% real. These girls actually took what they were saying seriously. They wasted time and effort...on that. Since I would like to retain just a little hope for the human race, I'll ignore their spelling and grammar.
