Drums
I really like the drums. I can't play them but I wish I could. They are my favorite instrument. For this reason, bands like Tool are amongst my favorites even though I don't like much else about them. They have an awesome drummer. And what else could be cooler than taking an otherwise crappy song, adding drums to it, and making it cool?
Fortunately for my brain, I haven't been forced by some radio somewhere to hear this song over and over again. I didn't even realize the first time I heard it that Soulja Boy was some form of ebonics or something for Soldier Boy. I thought it had something to do with Soul and maybe Ja Rule. Who knows. Anyway. Turn it up and enjoy.
PS, I always kind of feel like an internet letdown when I see a youtube video that has been seen 6 million times before I've seen it. Oh well.

Howler monkeys
I was scrolling through my old blogs from my Central America trip and I read about how howler monkeys were my new fav animal. I have told people this before but I of course can't reproduce the sound they make. They are soooo cool. I can't imagine what I would have thought had I heard them while I was alone and didn't know what they were. Turn up the sound and enjoy!
PS, this video is from Tikal, a place that I visited...that's cool I guess

Accidental racism
Lopez spills beans on baby
Now to me, just by the definition, there is no such thing as accidental racism. I just thought this headline was hilarious and I can't think of a better way of describing it.

We don't need no water
As of Tuesday, 18 of 23 wildfires in Southern California were completely under control, and the remainder were at least 70 percent contained, according to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
The fires are blamed for 14 deaths and charred more than 508,000 acres, destroying about 1,600 homes.
Instead of trying to control the fires...why don't they just let them burn? It seems like it is just a matter of time before all dead wood just burns, so why hold out until it all happens at once? And Buckweed? What is that? Sounds pretty useless. It just seems so weird that California has basically been on fire as long as I can remember. Maybe if they would stop using all this energy on preventing it, and at the same time harness all this potential energy...then they would have more energy *thank you* and thus less energy shortage problems.
And we put in zillions of dollars into anti-terrorist stuff securing this securing that etc. But an 8 year old kid can do all this damage, and by accident to. He should get a medal, I mean really, just think of all the damage he could do with just a little bad intent.
And out of curiosity, does anyone know if there are any other regions in the world that just happen to be perpetually burning (and no sarcasm)? Maybe some day I'll google it.
Last fire blog ever, promise.

Politics in sports
Sorry that I always have to rip on the Strib. Well, actually this is more ripping on the UofM and I guess the Strib for bothering to publish it....then on me for bothering to blog about it. And since I am at Century now I can't access the story because I can't remember my password/username. Why do they make people log in to read the story? That is dumb. You have to become a member...but don't worry, it's free!!!! Well what's the point of that? I imagine it has something to do with the Patriot Act. Anyway, on to what inspired this in the first place.
U won't reconsider sports ban over 'Fighting Sioux'
A University of Minnesota policy discouraging the school's athletic teams from competing against the University of North Dakota in any sport except hockey will stand. Updated Oct. 10, 2007
So what they are saying is that the UofM, a DivI school, will not compete in any sports against ND, a DivII school, except for it's hockey program which is in DivI.
In similar news, my former HS has recently declared that it's football team will under no circumstances compete against ANY teams from the NFL, nor will it play against the Jr High powder puff team.
There should be a separation of sport and state. And what is so offensive about the Fighting Sioux? Is it because of the Sioux, fighting, or both? Well I will read the story tonight and maybe update/edit this post.

What do you look forward to?
I was recently, ok, 20 minutes ago, pondering what I look forward to. I look forward to a lot of things. Unfortunately, all these things are 5 years down the road. That is depressing. It probably explains why I can't seem to drag myself out of bed at 10:30am on a Thursday. I decided it is time I get some things in my life that I look forward to each day. I figured I would ask my two blog readers what they look forward to everyday. So what do you look forward to everyday? And don't say "Mark's next depressing blog." Ok, ready, go!

My tuition
Relatively speaking, my tuition is pretty cheap. Two days ago, in my prosthetics class we had a guest speaker. She inspired this blog. My frustration may have partially stemmed from the fact that I just wanted to do my work and not have to listen to her. But as she spoke, I began to disagree with everything she said more and more.
Committees. They wanted us to join committees. Apparently, the more members of our little orthotics/prosthetics club that are on these committees, the more leverage we have. The example was that if we have a problem with parking we should join the parking committee to lobby for more parking or something. I don't know nor do I care about parking. Really...walking from the back of the parking lot to your classroom isn't the biggest problem in school. Unfortunately they do not seem to have a committee with the purpose of eliminating pointless committees.
The tutoring center came next. Every kid knows they have a tutoring center. It's advertised all over the place. Why do they need to take the time to go around to each class explaining all the benefits of it. If you need help and are unaware that there is a tutoring center, then you have problems. And why is it even necessary to have a tutoring center in the first place. Why not eliminate the whole thing, eliminate the lady's job who told me about it and lower my tuition by $2. Maybe I wrote about this before, but there is a scholarship here for kids who did poorly in HS. Eliminate this. Stop letting kids into college with a 1.7 HS GPA and I would have to assume that the tutoring center would just disappear on its own. Ironically enough, there is no tutor for prosthetics...well there are tutors I guess, I call them classmates. Why she had to give her spiel in this class is even more befuddling.
Am I calling every person that's ever used the tutoring center an idiot? No. The option is there so if you need it then take it and you are smarter for doing so. But I think by forcing kids to use their text books, outside materials, form study groups and (ahhhhhghgh) go to class, they would only be strengthening their academic abilities.
I have used the tutoring center before. I can't say it was my last resort. I used it as a freshman at UMD for math because I didn't go to class. I also used it for my writing class. I just had them proofread my papers (journalism majors are good for something I guess). I used it once here for chem. Basically the only reason I ever used it was because it was easier to go there and have someone explain it than to read the book.
And yes, there is a diversity committee. I am thinking that by joining I will be increasing my chances at one of the diversity scholarships. The problem is that I am too lazy.

Colo. school bans tag on its playground
Thu Aug 30, 7:44 AM ET
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - An elementary school has banned tag on its playground after some children complained they were harassed or chased against their will.
"It causes a lot of conflict on the playground," said Cindy Fesgen, assistant principal of the Discovery Canyon Campus school.
Running games are still allowed as long as students don't chase each other, she said.
Fesgen said two parents complained to her about the ban but most parents and children didn't object.
In 2005, two elementary schools in the nearby Falcon School District did away with tag and similar games in favor of alternatives with less physical contact. School officials said the move encouraged more students to play games and helped reduce playground squabbles.
These things just baffle and to be honest kind of anger me. Here are a few more headlines/links from googling "school bans."
School Bans Talking at Lunch
School bans pigs stories
School Bans Hugging
Catholic School Bans Pro-life Speaker
School bans 'wrong race' hairstyle
School bans Christmas,but OK with Halloween
High school bans blogging
Va. middle school bans touching
School bans girl's 'virgin' ring
School bans Mother's Day cards
School Bans Sack Lunches, Baked Goods
Plano school bans Christmas Colors
L.I. School Bans Deaf Boy's 'Helper' Dog
Ok, that's all I have the patience to look up. I can see a kid complaining from something tag related. If someone is picking on you I guess it is natural and acceptable to complain. But I have a problem with parents complaining to teachers about tag related problems as well as schools solving these problems by banning tag. If someone were getting picked on during math class would it make sense to just ban math? Of course not. Although it might sound harsh to some, sometimes parents just need to tell their kids to get over it. Getting picked on or whatever is part of being in elementary, middle and high school (life in general I guess). Learning to handle it when they're young will just make it easier to handle when they are an adult and there is no authority figure to turn to...because it will still happen. If you start whining about it it will just get worse.
Well, there are tons of pages that came up. In short they mostly deal with T-shirts, ipods, anything related to Christianity, Harry Potter, myspace and more than a few dealing with what kind of food kids can bring in.
I remember my dad talking about how when he was a kid everyone played with knives at recess.

Post Peru Post
I just read an old portion of my blog from back when I was in Japan. I enjoyed the memories. Because of that I now feel obligated to write about my Peru trip. Well, I am going to give the headlines and hope I will still know what happened when I read this in 2 years. So Future Mark, I hope you understand this, and if you don't...I'm sorry. And for others who may be interested...you can ask me someday if you want.

Back from Peru
I am back from Peru. It was awesome. I start school on Monday which means classes from 7:30 to 5 with a break from 9-1 and plenty of time to blog about nothing. During my time in Peru I had all these things I needed to get out of me. Of course I can't remember any of them now. A few I can think of are
Airlines. I think I complain about these after every trip, but I'm not sure. I know I spend hours thinking about complaining about them.
Legalism.
Stupid warnings/additional info on consumer products. I see one as I type this. From the DVD main menu "Subtitles (for the hearing impaired)"

Thoughts
These are just a few random thoughts that ran through my head today:
It is amazing how much coverage is given to Paris Hilton by the TV news. I just turned on the TV for a couple secs and was watching Nancy Grace. I don't normally watch her and I only really know of her name because people always make fun of her. To sum up the few seconds of what I saw:
Paris Hilton went to court
Her hair didn't look very good
They reported on how simple her clothes were
And they said she looked sad
I went to Applebees with my fam in the late evening. The sun was setting and shining in the eyes of everyone facing that direction. It was at an angle so that it came through the window one booth over. Everyone asked the waiter if he could shut the shades in the appropriate booth, he then did so. I just find it odd that no one simply asks the people sitting one booth over if they can just shut the shades. My mother, being the caring person she is, wanted to shut our shade because the light was shining in the eyes of the people behind me. I decided it would be a good idea not to because I think they should ask us...or the waiter. I'm just mean like that. The waiter has plenty of other things to do. Simply flagging him down is more work than just asking the other patrons. Yet people often take this route anyway. This may or may not be a cultural thing, but I find it odd either way.
While this is a very simple example I think it sums up the habits of a lot of people in general. People often go way out of their way to get someone else to take care of a problem. In this case it may be very simple and may just seem like the polite thing to do (and maybe it is). But I think often times it just creates more conflict (although it wouldn't apply in the above example). For instance, if the person in the neighboring apartment unit is watching TV at a volume that is keeping you up and you are fed up enough to do something about it then calling security may seem like a reasonable and normal approach. They will probably turn it down as I am sure they are unaware that they are being obnoxious. But then they are just going to view you as that person that called security for such a simple thing. It is one of those things that seems like the best course of action because you don't have to talk to the perps. Obviously (at least I hope) you wouldn't know the person watching TV too loud if you call security. If you go ask them to turn down the TV, well you now have the opportunity to meet your neighbors. I think this kind of behavior is something that a lot of people do, yet when they are on the receiving end, then they are wondering why the person just didn't say something. Although I can't recall a specific experience, the length of this blog tells me that there are a few stored in my memory somewhere.
Anyway, in case you skipped the body of this blog or my examples confuse you, in short it says that you should try and take care of simple inconveniences directly and that people should stop caring about Paris Hilton's clothes. And FYI, I think girls are more attractive when they wear simple clothes.
Oh, and I went to visit my relatives today and found out that my little cousin has been sleeping outside in random places in the woods since April 1st. I think that's awesome. He just finished 7th grade. We (cousin, dad, mom and myself) spent about 15 minutes trying to catch one of his chickens that has been on the loose for two days. Hilarity ensued. Oh how I love the Stillwater countryside.

More stupid videos
This one is just weird. Either there is some trickery going on or this kid has way too much time on his hands, or both.
Kung Fu laces WTF - Click Here for more great videos and pictures!
This one is interesting. Catching a thief and then parading him around town. Good idea, but they should have zapped him too.
This one was pretty popular I guess. Because of it's cuteness. However, it isn't really little kids fighting. They are playing. Duh.
Pee Wee Hockey Brawl - Brought to you by Break.com Video Search
And a couple funny ones for Colleen. Note: if I ever find a video that I think is funnier than motomamma I will let you know beforehand. Otherwise expect mostly lame crap like these:
I guess the home shopping network or whatever is live. I hate that channel

Awesome!!
Someone else also just discovered that if you google "wiffle ball bounciness" without the parenthesis, I come up at #10.
I hope you like pain!
Colleen, I am only posting this blog because you requested it.
Sometimes children seem really innocent because they look cute. But it is always important to remember that children use their cuteness to get away with evil. Girls do this too.
These next two are both from the same people and to be honest I only kinda laughed the second time on each. Semi-funny, semi-stupid. Oh well.
Mormons
Car insurance
Soccer video
And you all know that I'm obsessed with martial arts and I know that none of you would want to watch martial arts videos. So I thought we could compromise a little. Ninja Auditions:

We haven't even left Nebraska yet!
Fast forward to about the 2 min mark. The Fred Phelps Church or whatever.
This one passed the "did it make me laugh the 2nd time" test. I have no idea why it's so funny. It's so stupid but I was laughing. It's from the whiskey people.

I get a loan, finally
Well after 3 months of dealing with unconcerned administrative staff, I finally got approved for a loan. This seems like something that should take a couple days. Oh well, I guess I will start filling out paperwork until I run into the next roadblock. Also, when I sat down on the comp I turned on MSN. I never do this. I get this random message from a random person. This is our conversation:

Sometimes I think our society has overdone it a little. We are kind of at that ultra sensitive point where if someone says something that deals with race it is often times considered racist even if it is not. But, a member of whatever minority can say whatever it wants about its own race, no matter how offensive, and it is not considered racist. It makes for great comedy too.
The first two are of our good friend Chris Rock (no relation to Chris Hill...I don't think). They are full of obscenities so you probably shouldn't watch them at work or if you are with your mother. You may have seen them both already as they are fairly popular on the video sites.
The second is of some kid on youtube. I think it's pretty work safe but I forgot already. Enjoy.
