Johnson hints at NASCAR format changes; seeks continued improvement

1 Comment

“Format changes” were the buzzwords of Jimmie Johnson’s first media availability of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season, even if the six-time champion didn’t bite on exactly what they were.

Earlier this week, NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France hinted during an MRN Radio interview potential format changes could come either in terms of points adjustments or race start times. Still, to Johnson, that doesn’t change the goal.

“From being in the car, it doesn’t change the driver’s mindset much,” Johnson said. “It might take someone from roughing ‘em up to dumping them. I think it’s more about perception. But looking at it and putting more weight on winning, it’s not going to change what I do.”

Johnson hinted at new qualifying adjustments for 2014. NASCAR’s road course race qualifying structure has already been announced, but nothing has been said of the remaining 34 races although the possibility exists single-car qualifying could be axed.

“Qualifying will be far different,” he said. “I thought I knew it and then Chad (Knaus, crew chief) brought me up to speed. The last I heard about it was at a town hall meeting, and then I disconnected.”

Johnson estimated he may need to “perfect things” a bit more in qualifying, rather than settling for compromise.

Of course, this availability also represented the first time the media had a chance to ask about the possibility of a record-tying seventh Sprint Cup title, a storyline that will no doubt rule the headlines all of 2014.

“I haven’t put much thought into it yet,” Johnson admitted. “If the opportunity is there, that reality will be hard to put out of my mind.”

Also of note: Johnson has at least one other test scheduled before Speedweeks, and in terms of improvement, Johnson says each member of the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet unit at Hendrick Motorsports can correct things year-on-year. For Johnson, he said knowing how to judge restarts – after his Dover faux pas last year – was something to work on.

He’s not a guy to rest on his laurels, and that relentless pursuit of perfection has kept him at the head of the NASCAR field year-on-year.

If you like racing two-wheel style, make sure you catch the debut of a new multi-year TV broadcast deal featuring the American Flat Track motorcycle racing series on NBCSN.

The 18-round series debuts this Sunday at 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN with the season-opening race that was held at Daytona International Speedway on March 15.

Going forward, all 18 rounds of the series will be televised on NBCSN in highly-coveted weekend afternoon programming slots without two weeks of each event.

Last season, AFT drew nearly two million viewers on NBCSN with regular primetime coverage on Thursday nights.

This season, the one-hour, tape-delayed telecasts will be part of NBCSN’s regular weekend programing, following or preceding coverage of NASCAR, INDYCAR and Pro Motocross.

AFT is now in its 65th season, with two distinct classes: powerful, twin-cylinder rides in the AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines division, and the competition in the 450cc AFT Singles division.

“We are very excited to kick-off our second season of AFT on NBCSN,” NBC Sports Group Senior Director of Programming Jeff Macaluso. “The 2017 season provided us with some incredible racing and showed us how passionate the riders and fans are of this historic sport.

“The move to weekends this year, around other marquis motorsports properties, is sure to raise the level even higher.”

Here’s the 2018 AFT schedule on NBCSN:

Vettel adamant Mercedes still favorite for F1 titles in 2017

Leave a comment

Sebastian Vettel is confident that Mercedes remains the favorite for both Formula 1 championships in 2017 despite leading Ferrari to victory in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.

Mercedes entered 2017 looking to claim a fourth-straight set of titles, having won over 50 races in the last three years as part of its domination of the V6 hybrid era.

Ferrari enjoyed a strong pre-season and delivered on its winter pace by beating Mercedes in Australia, with Vettel jumping Lewis Hamilton through the pit stops en route to his 43rd F1 win.

Vettel arrives in China expected to challenge for victory once again, but urged caution amid talk of Ferrari competing for its first world title since 2008 by stressing that Mercedes remained the favorite.

“Well I think Mercedes has to be still the favourite. Obviously we had a very strong first race, but I think at least the way we look at it inside the team, we really go race by race,” Vettel said.

“We know we have a good package, which puts us in a strong place, but there’s lots of things we need to do to keep up with them and keep the position that we are in now to fight for good races.”

Vettel’s victory in Australia was both his and Ferrari’s first in 18 months following a winless 2016 campaign, and although the four-time world champion stressed that last season was not as bad as critics have suggested, he admitted it was key to end the drought last month.

“Well it wasn’t that bad last year. It was not the best year we had, but still I think we had a decent amount of podiums,” Vettel said.

“We had races where things were not going our way, but that’s how it goes sometimes. Maybe my memory is wrong, but I remember it better than what people make out of it now.

“For sure it wasn’t the season that we wanted to have, so after one race, it’s easy to say that this year is better than last year, but it’s only one race. It’s the start of the season.

“But for sure, a lot of things have changed since last year, the team has evolved. I think we generally are in a much better position. People are more comfortable throughout the whole team.

“I think the work that is going in is a lot more targeted and overall I think we’re more confident with the way we work now. Hopefully we can keep up that trend to show that on the track.”

The Chinese Grand Prix is live across NBCSN and the NBC Sports app this weekend.

Eagle Scout Project Beautifies Grounds

Bradley with his grandparents, Earl and Linda Oliver, and his siblings, Jacob, Jarrod, and Katie, after clearing all of the landscaping at the clinic. The Olivers came on vacation to the mountains and brought their landscaping tools for Bradley to use on his Eagle Project.

Bradley Minton had a very busy summer.

He went to high school band camp. He went to church camp. He climbed mountains in New Mexico. Between and at the end of all those activities, he qualified to become an Eagle Scout by planning, supervising and coordinating the beautification of Mountain Hope’s landscaping.

It was all in the nick of time. He completed the project just before he turned 18 last month, the cutoff date for completing Eagle Scout requirements.

The Mountain Hope grounds have a new, cleaner, tidier appearance. Bradley, with help from younger brothers Jacob and Jarrod and with other members of his Scout troop, cut down some trees at the front of the clinic, trimmed other trees and shrubs, laid a weed barrier and mulch, then bordered the gardens at front and back with stones. They laid stones around a perennially damp area near an air conditioning unit behind the building.

They took down an old wooden gazebo at the back that serves as a break area for Clinic staff in good weather, and replaced it with a stronger steel one, complete with curtains and netting that form an attractive screened picnic area.

“A lot of things were donated,” said Bradley’s father, David Minton. The Minton family, which owns a business, donated the gazebo; Jerry Sandifer donated mulch and advised Bradley on how best to do the landscaping; Lowe’s donated the weed barrier and gave discounts on other items, and a Blount County firm gave a discount on the two truckloads of stones and waived the delivery fee.

Jacob Minton, Jarrod Minton, and Gabe King helping with the mulch

“We enjoyed the project,” David Minton said. However, they ran into delivery delays and bad weather – the kind of things that complicate any project, but which provide good experience for a young entrepreneur like Bradley. In all, David estimates 200 or so hours went into the project.

Bradley has been told officially that he’s completed all requirements to become an Eagle Scout, though he hasn’t gone through the ceremony yet. When he has, he’ll be in good company: his father is an Eagle Scout and so are a nephew and cousin.

David has worked in health care and he and his wife own a home health care agency. “I’ve had friends and employees who have used the Clinic,” so Mountain Hope was a natural beneficiary of the project, he said.

  • UNDERWORLD 4 in 3D

Production is underway in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the 4th installment in the highly successful Screen Gems/Lakeshore Entertainment Underworld franchise.

Kate Beckinsale as Selene in Underworld
Underworld 4 will be bringing a whole new dimension the vampire & lycans franchise, by being the first film in the franchise to be shot in 3D.

Kate Beckinsale, star of the first two films, returns in her lead role as the vampire warrioress Selene, who escapes imprisonment to find her in a world where humans have discovered the existence of both Vampire and Lycan clans, and are conducting an all-out war to eradicate both immortal species.

India Eisley (The Secret Life of an American Teenager) plays Eve, and Michael Ealy (Barbershop, 2Fast 2Furious, Takers) plays Detective Sebastian.

Underworld 4 will be directed by Swedish duo, Mans Marlind & Bjorn Stein, who co-directed the 2009 thriller Shelter starring Julianne Moore and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Their feature credits also include the award-winning Swedish film Storm.

The film will be a sequel, but will also be seen as a reboot, as we will see a new actor that will play a new title character and not take over from Matt Damon’s, Jason Bourne.
Jeremy Renner

So No Matt Damon, No Jason Bourne… but the new storyline will link Bourne’s story to this new film.

Now for a while we have been hearing rumblings of potential candidates for the role. Taylor Kitsch (Wolverine Origins – Gambit) & Shia LeBouf (Transformers – Sam) were believed to be the front-runners for the role in the film. However, we have learned that Jeremy Renner, who you will see soon as Hawkeye in the upcoming Avengers film, will be offered the role.
We don’t have any complaints, Mr. Renner has proven himself as a superb actor and if he is to be the next “Bourne” then we believe he has what it takes to do it.

Looks like The Dark Knight Rises will not be shooting in Gotham’s home, Chicago, after all!! Instead seems that the Dark Knight Rises will have a new Gotham in Pittsburgh.
TDKR director Christopher Nolan said, "Pittsburgh is a beautiful city. ... We have been able to find everything we were looking for here, and I am excited to spend the summer in Pittsburgh with our final installment of Batman."

Meanwhile, Nolan is rumored to have scouted Kedleston Hall, a lavish mansion from the 1760s located in Derbyshire, England. Could this be the new Wayne Manor? We shall see.
This was Designed by a Fan - Not the Real poster for TDKR, but its AWESOME

The Dark Knight Rises begins filming in May.

Smoking Popes, “Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground”

Free MP3 of the Day

Smoking Popes are reissuing their breakout 1994 album Born to Quit, and along with the original tracks, they’re offering a cover of Willie Nelson‘s “Angel Flying Too Close to the Ground” as a bonus. We’ve got a free download of the tear jerker for you as a free download.

At first mention, some people may find this to be an odd cover for the Chicago punk-ish legends, but once you hear it, it falls right into place perfectly. In fact, if you isolated the vocals and laid them over Willie’s guitar work, it’d be a pretty close replication, but of course, it’s the band’s sound that puts the unique twist on this one. Grab the download below to see what we’re talking about.

Sorry, there was an error fetching the song!
Please try reloading the page.

The vinyl reissue of Born to Quit will be available in the new year, and you can preorder it now, but the download should get you through the holidays. Keep up with Smoking Popes on their webpage and Facebook.

What You Should Know About OLED TV’s

About a decade ago, everyone was excited about the LCD, flat-screen TV. Then, television technology really took off, and a whole new slew of acronyms became the rage. First there was the LED TV, then the HDTV and the 3-D TV, and then the smart TV. Now, people are getting excited about OLED TVs.

What You Should Know About OLED TV's

What Is OLED?

OLED stands for “Organic Light-Emitting Diode.”  It is the newest form of television technology. Most OLED TVs have a futuristic look with curved edges to enhance their viewing experience. OLED TVs are also much slimmer and more eco-friendly than other types of TVs. Additionally, the resolution and response time on OLED TVs is unsurpassed.

How Is OLED Different than LED?

OLED TVs are different than LED TVs because of the processes they use for light. OLED TVs emit their own light from every pixel. This is done through a carbon-based film that is placed between an electrical current and two conductors. LED TVs need a backlight for their brightness. The way that OLEDs generate light increases their longevity and reduces the amount of power they need to run. That’s why they are better than LED TVs.

Are There Any Disadvantages to OLED TVs?

There are only a couple of disadvantages to OLED TVs. The biggest disadvantage is the price — consumers always have to pay more for the latest and greatest technology. However, gamers and movie buffs claim that the high cost is worth it because of the fast response time of the pixels on the screen. Even a split second can make a big difference when playing a video game or watching a fast, action scene in a movie. OLED TVs are also associated with better detail and their picture is practically devoid of blur.

Another disadvantage is the curved screen design. OLED TV manufacturers state that curved screens prevent image distortion, but the design does make it difficult to view OLED TVs from the side. As long as you sit directly in front of an OLED TV, the picture and viewing experience is much better than on LED and other types of TVs.

Who Makes OLED TVs?

Samsung and LG are the biggest OLED TV manufacturers right now. LG was the brand to really make OLEDs take off. There are only a couple of differences between the brands. Samsung uses “Super OLED” technology while LG uses a color refiner that adds white to the traditional RGB color mix. It’s hard to distinguish which method is better. Both have options for 3-D, but you’ll have to pay more to get this feature. The best LG OLED TVs have 4K UHD resolution instead of the standard 1080p.

How Much Do OLED TVs Cost?

OLED TVs have been on the market since 2013, but they are too expensive for the average consumer. You have to pay anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000 to own one of these awesome TVs. As OLED TVs gain in popularity, more TV manufacturers will probably enter the market and help bring the cost down.

If you’re willing to pay for an OLED TV, you won’t be disappointed with the picture and performance. The OLED TV is the best product on the market today and is the perfect complement to an entertainment room. Match that with surround sound, and you’ll never be happier.

Nine Dreams, Two Nightmares And All The Friends You Need!

I have a desire to just type my thoughts out, and so here i am. typing away, thinking of things to write. i if cant think of anything worth while, i will just end up posting this anyways, and just being random, because i can get away with just being weird, because thats the kind of person i am. :P

i just watched Dreamgirls, i love that movie. its amazing and like, emotional. it has a great story and brilliant songs. haha, and it nearly makes me cry, lol, nearly.

i really cant think of much to say. i think i have stuff that i would love to just sit here and type, but i dot. i duno, either i cant find the words to say it, or i dont have the flow to keep going. how odd.

i realized something last night, when i was thinking once again. i have also been drained of all my strength and will power. which is terrible, because i think that my inner strength and my limitless will power are 2 things that make me who i am.

i think i can pin point the reasons behind my sudden-ish change in self. but i duno, i wish it were something different, or i wish i could find out that it could be something different. i wish the only explanation any had given me, wasnt for what they said, but for something else.

i am a strong person. i dont let people push me down or break me apart. i always feel the need to stand up for my heart and soul, but my mind seems to be in a turmoil at the moment, or something, i duno. i think my soul is my strength and my will, but i duno, it has been crushed, and my heart is blind. my soul is my hearts eyes. hmm

i know that people cant really help, but to hear them say they dont know what to do, and then not even come up with anything, or just tell me, good luck i hope you can get through this, or tell me, i dont know what i can do. it just kinda breaks my spirits some more. when i ask for help, i just need someone to pick me up, and walk me to the hospital, not fix me there and then. i duno, i feel let down by myself and all those around me. honestly.

people only think about how to solve a solution, but sometimes just showing that you are trying, is enough to make the problem seem less of a challenge. i duno, i am hoping people are reading this and are thinking good things, and are just i duno.

this is my chronicle of thinks. my journal of bodiless adventure. my totem of tales, treasury and tantalizing tricks, told to you, to tell the times and travels my thoughts do tribulate.

'When You Die .. They Wont Mourn .. Rather I .. Shall Be The One .. To Cry .. To Weep .. To Scream To The Heavens .. I Shall Have The Void Left In My Heart .. They Will Merely Acknowledge You Departure And .. Move On .. I Will Forever Be Left Where I Lay .. Reliving .. The Memories We Shared .. The Times We Laughed .. The Times We Cried .. The Times When All Mountains Were Just Hills .. And Lakes Were Just Puddles .. When You Die .. My Friend .. I Will Be The One .. To Write A Song .. And Sing It Everyday .. They Wont .. So Why Dear Friend .. Do You Throw It Away .. This Life That We Have .. Why Do You Do All This .. For Them .. The Ones That .. Wont Cry .. Wont Weep .. Wont Scream To The Heavens .. Wont Have A Void Left In There Heart .. Why Everyday .. Must I Struggle .. To Be Recognized .. To Be Cared For .. To Be Remembered .. For I Am The One .. Who Will Cry .. When You Die'

i duno what that was. i am in an odd mood.

hhmm, i think i will end this blog, i have ran out of steam. i think. i will probably be blogging again later, haha, i cant stop, hmm

i love the love you give to me, i keep it in my pocket. i love the love you give to me, i hold it in my hand. i love the love you give to me, it makes me smile all the time. i love the love you give to me, you'll never understand.

I feel completely drained.

its the best word to describe things at the moment. i feel drained of all my emotions, like they have been sucked out of me, and so all i am is some hollow emotionless shell. i feel all my energy has been taken out of me, leaving me to be a motionless hollow shell. i feel like all that is going on around me is just an illusion, and that who i am and how i am acting is just the shell being puppeted about.

i can hear the steady rants of my mother, shouting at my snot nosed sister as she cries her eyes out, just to get away with her selfish ways. i feel a steady sense of betrayal from people i love so dearly, after being explained so well, a situation i could see right in front of me. i have a dreaded feeling of impossibility as i have my strongest desire to not see wounded cubs be stamped on.

at the moment, i feel rather use less and help less. i feel like all that i put into things, just get spat back in my face, and that if i start to care too much, all that happens is it dies in front of me.

i regret every honest piece of harsh words, or anything ungrateful, arrogant or spiteful i have ever said to anyone. i wish that i had never been heartless, and that my confidence had never got the better of me. but now i feel like i am forgetting who i am.

the strange and unwanted confusion of waking up, living a day, and going to bed, not at all living how you think you should, or making the choices and thinking the thought processes, that you yourself cant understand. i find it odd and unsatisfying to know that i am not being myself these days.

but i just feel so drained. i feel so out of it, and strange. i am a stranger in my own head. i am the pedestrian amongst the traffic.

shoulders are held there for mere seconds, not long enough for me to rest on. ears are waiting for only what they wish to hear. everyday i feel a struggle to understand myself, and to then describe, scratch away at the memories. signs are shown that there is limited reception, and so no one really wishes to know.

i wish that i could just help myself and pick up my own feet and carry myself to the place where i am myself again. i hate asking for help.

I Am Too Much Of A Good Person.

i am nice, i am kind, i am considerate, and i honestly care a lot about all the people around me. i thinks it fair to say that i am a good person, i ain't praising myself too excessively by saying that.

i mean, sure i am a bitch, and i can be really mean and all that. but that is generally to someone who has either treated me ill or done something to someone else i know, or people who i know treat other people bad, like whore year 8's and such. and in some ways i think it is healthy to have a good hate of people, i mean, like not one where to completely like are just agro, but like a healthy dislike or people is fine enough. you cant like everyone.

but those people that i do like, i care a lot for. and generally i treat people as good as i can when i first meet them.

although, most people people would say are good, most seem to be confidentless, and i aint, so i dont let people walk over me, which i think is a sad thing for people that do. altho, i think sometimes i do let people have the upper hand over me, because sometimes i just dont need peoples shit.

i would like to think that i am a positivly confident person, but often i feel like i just cant. mm

back on point. i am a good person.

i dont like to hunt to hurt people, in fact, i hunt to make people feel better. i will tell people who i think are gorgus, how gorgus i think they are, even tho i am sure people dont often say it, because people dont really do stuff like that. i duno, now i sound like a weirdo

i dont know where i am heading with this blog, i am just typing shit, hhmm.

i would like to know what people think of me, because i'm sure there is someone out there, who is probably thinking, GOOD, WTF MAN, PISS OFF. hmm

if thats you, then let me know, i would prefer to know that think otherwise

even tho, i really do think i am, :P

i guess one point i would just wish to say, is that when i get into something with someone, like a relationship, whether i think it is working or not, or whether i think i am being treated right or not, i think i am too much of a good person, to do what is right for me. i think when i get into something with someone, i kinda put my all into it, and i kinda never get that given back.

i've been told that i could do alot better. which i guess i dont doubt, because most people can do better with most of the things that people have got. but about me, its like, i duno.

i'm not sure what i am trying to say. hhmm

alot of my blogs and stuff have an underlying message about how i dont get treated fairly, or i dont get treated the same way i treat other people, and so like. i duno. its much worse i think, when you step into one of those more specialer relationships, and then they kinda dont quite gives as much as you do. because like, mm, in a thing like that, if you are giving lots and arent getting any of it back, it just shows a little of how you mean to them. in its own little way.

but in my mind, i duno, i would love to think that i could make a way for that to change, but i doubt that i could. i think in the end, i would end up giving way too much and end up losing it all. but i know that the chances are grim, and like, mm,i duno.

it brings up many issues and tribulations, because i duno, i cant just do nothing, but then i dont know what to do, and i dont feel as tho i could just throw it away too soon, because i duno, and like, mm

and this is where my too much of a good person thing comes in. i care too much

i duno, this blog is pointless, more rambles and bambles, lol

i should really talk about much better stuff, but mm

mm, what do you think, :P

Longer Than Expected

Ok, so this is the 8 th time i have tried to start a blog. i have really been wanting to write one, something interesting and developing. i have had lots of ideas for blogs since sunday morning, but i just haven't stopped and wrote them down, and i came to the computer tonight, and i have started so many times, but my edge is gone, my flow is missing.

i like to express my thoughts out in these blogs, because they feel personal, yet like i am showing the world who i am. which is odd, but how i feel when i write the blogs i have over the past like 5 days, lol. i have become a blog addict, which i find extremely strange.

i steadily check my myspace see if anyone has cared anymore since 3 minutes ago, and nothing quite yet. i am talking to harry on msn, because he is the only one that will talk to me, and even then the conversation is dead. but i duno, right here, i kinda feel like i can just type and type and say exactly how i feel, no interuptions.

i am releasing all my inner wishes and wants to harry, btw everyone. i aint got a reply, but i shall, hopefully, lol.

my biggest wish of all, is that i wish with everything i have that everyone could just be happy, all together, for one day

i also want to see barbara show some confidence

i also want to see all those girls, who are naturally pretty, and that everyone can see, come out of there shell and show the world what they ahve to offer. i do

sorry, i am rambling, because i dont seem to have anythign else better to say.

A Technicolor Yawn Of Half Digested Emotions - Mr Eldgride (definition of a poem)

i hate whores, i really do. this was going to be one of my topics, but i dont have the right energy to type out hatred, but honestly, i hate whores. i love sweet and gorgus people, but i am disgusted by whores.

i feel so sorry for people with no confidence, but i love to tell them they are pretty, because they are. like jess feilder and oshada, i told them they were both pretty today, because i think they are gorgus, like, naturally pretty, like sally and lauren haynes and miranda, and like, i just think that people like, argh, i duno

rambling again

and then there is barbara, who makes me want to cry. if you dont know barbara, she is an awesome year 10 singer girl, she draws manga and is half brazilian, she has awesome black wavy hair and like, she is the sweetest person on the planet, well mm. but she has no confidence at all, and i mean, like, she can come up to people so sweetly, but people just like cut her down, and like, she is so timid and sounds so scared and like, it just kinda makes me want to cry, because i just want her to stand up and show people who she is, because i once got to know her, and she is an amazing person and its just like, :'(

aw, i love people sometimes, like not everyone, generally i hate everyone. but like, there are people sometimes that i just love, like because they are themselves, and it is amazing to just know them. ah

i love you kate, you are amazing, :P, sometimes i think it sounds like i am only saying stuff to make people feel better, but like mm, i've always said how much i love my katey bear. but i kinda feel like i only just got to know you properly after i read all your blogs, because like, ofcourse there are stuff in them, that i wouldnt have known, and its like, mm, wow, now i know the proper reasons behind all that you do, and i am a pretty keen person when it comes to figuring out that there is more to someone, and so mm, :P. i love you

this isnt meant to be a blog about me praising people

i kinda feel abit bad about my hole, relgion and stuff blog, because i dont know if it sounds as controversial as i thought it might to someone on the other side. i mean, its my opinion on stuff and like, i am up for people telling me what they think, because i always listen to what people have to say, and i always take it in, but like, i duno, i just mm, i wont go back into that, i think i shal save that for another time, when i am feeling more myself

hhm, thats it, i dont quite feel myself. i think my mask is getting tighter again. i dont know why tho, i feel more like i should be being myself, but then i dont quite, hmm, i duno. i hate thinking that i aint being myself, cos i love me, i am awesome, and if anyone thinks otherwise, then they dont really know me, or they have ticked me of and i dont like them anymore and they are seeing 'angry agro i hate you' sam, lol

dammit i owe ms gregory $2 and i have a debate tomoro

gah, i hate lessons and shit. lol.

this is going on longer than i thought it would. i hope people are reading this. hello there friend. lol. wow, my face feels numb, wtf, gah, thats terrible, or like i am being a hyperchondriac, but seriously, i touch it and it dont feel right, ow and my fingers hurt, lol, i wonder why.

wait, they are feeling abit numb, hhmm, that aint good,i shall keep on typing and pretend it aint there, but seriously what is this shit, mm. i hate feeling numb, cos it just reminds me of migraines, and they are the worst things ever, and like, i get them worse than you all, cos like, thats how my family seems to go. like, numb feelings up and down you body, not being able to see properly, headache, and just plain crazy sick feeling, gah, you have no idea

now i am talking to megan too, and she said soo, and i think she thinks something is up, cos generally, i think so much, that i always have something terrible i have to say about something going on in my head. but i am such a strong willed person and i am so strong in my own emotions that i never feel the need to express my daily wims about shit, so instead of replying to her soo, i instead said, so how are you feeling about stuff, makin er think of herself rather than me, because i am that good, mwaha, lol

she is probably going to read this and be all like, 'well fine then nigga cheese cracker white as ho, you think you can work this shit all up on me' and i will be all like, 'haha, i knew you would say it if i said you would say it, yay, thank megan' and then we will have a laugh and probably a serious conversation

mm, my stomach hurts, hhmm, i eat too much, too much crap, but this aint a crap food stomach ache, its a, theres something wrong in here kinda stomach ache. hhmm, mayeb i am having babies

harry's gone, just me and megan, still i dont really get replies anyways, people are more preoccupied in themselves, LOL, jokes, its because i aint really keep any conversations going, lol.

ah i can imagine like megan still reading on, just going, AW, now i feel bad, and then like, mm, andi dont want that, i dont like the idea of guilty tripping people, thats just manipulative and rude. gah

i am still going with this, i think someone is thinking, why doesnt this guy just quit already, i have rambled on for so long, that i have liked skipped an hours worth of hojmeworking, to talk about absolute crap. i would love to think that there is maybe one person out there right now, reading this going, wow, this is guy must be interesting. he sounds like such a nice fellow.

i mean, i would love that, i really would, lol.

i wish to save the world, YAY, for me, i duno if i have alread y said that in this blog, in one of my previous attempts today, i did, yay for that, and like, mm

christmas isnt as far away as most would hope, or close than some had dreamed, either way, sanat will be coming down your chimney some time coming.

mm, i am a randomist, yaya for whatever hat means, haha

i love you all, have a wonderful hanika and a birlliant quanza, i shall be back tomoro

P.S. i am a good person right?

Religion and stuff

Ok, so i was just reading larissa's blog on perfection, and i couldn't finish it, because my mind was exploding. not about the hole perfection in society thing, because honestly, i have never felt like i needed to be anywhere near perfect, because, no one would notice anyways. the reason i stopped reading, was because there were so many mentions to God.

By this, i mean, it got me thinking about the whole, God thing, and the whole religion thing.

Now personally, i think that religion is too much trouble for what its worth. personally i believe in some ways it can take away from peoples individuality, just in the way, that people must follow specific guidelines and what not, but then again thats just a generalization.

Larissa mentioned free will, and it got me thinking about one of my theories.

Generally i am a super duper optimist, but i dunno why, but when it comes to religion i can come across as being very bittersweet and cynical.

see, i have a theory, one of a few, that we are already in heaven. that the greatest gift a god could give, would be the chance to choose our own destiny. that free will is the biggest thing to be given, because, as much as we take it for granted, it truly is one of those things that defines us above anything else. it makes it less easy to feel comfortable about death, if that would be true, for that would mean that heaven, wouldn't be heaven at all. but mm. its one of my theories.

i find it hard to believe that god creates miracles. the main reason for that, is the only people i have ever heard say that he does grant miracles, are all people who have been well of in life in the first place, every one, has been someone who has never lived in poverty, or never been hungry, and it may be, that i just haven't heard enough people preach miracles, but it just kinda contradicts everything, when i hear people who probably don't truly understand what it is like to live without a lord looking over them, and as much as 'god' may be everywhere, there are some places he pays more attention too.

it kinda makes me worried, when it can be justified that god is still doing good things, when bad things happen to people.

am i not right in saying, that god is the single creator of everything. therefore he created satan. this is what i know, this is from peoples proclamations, if i am in anyways wrong, i would beg you to correct me. i would prefer to be over inform and still not believe fully, than to be not inform at all, and believe without question. if god created everything, he also created the bad, surely. if we go back to my theory of free will, then he didnt, we did, which i can feel more comfort in.

i read a thing, saying about how, evil isnt a thing, it is the absence of god. which in its own way makes sence. but the theory didnt really cut right. this guy used the reasoning behind cold and heat, and how cold is the absence of heat, and that dark is the absence of light. saying that you cant get any darked than dark, and you cant get any colder than some level of negative Fahrenheit, and so i thought, realisticly, you only get as good as god, and that is the limit, realisticly, so using this mans theory, god is the absence of evil

that was kinda off topic, well still on topic but not my point

i love the idea, that heaven exists. if i felt innocent enough, then i wouldnt feel bad about anything, i would feel great to know, that there is something else out there, after it all. but i just cant grasp it all.

i've met enough people, that have not been gifted with the lord looking over them.

i once spent 2 nights in hospital, because i had an infection. i was in a ward of 6 beds, and 2 of those beds were taken by children, no older than 15, who needed breathing apparatus to stay alive. now one of them, i had the chance to talk too. she was 15, it took her several breaths to complete a sentence, and it was a tear jerking moment. she told me, that she had been needing a breathing apparatus since she was 11. one day, without warning, her lungs had failed, and i cant remember all the details, but she hadnt lived a normal life since. now, some might say, that the miracle would be when she get better, for surely, if she has survive 4 years, then even that is a miracle, but simply, where was god looking over her, when it all started, she doesnt get to finish her child hood, she doesn't get to begin her teen years normal, she misses on having 4 birthday parties. she needed a nurse to bathe her. and she was 15. hardly a year younger than most of us. simply, i wonder, who would allow this to happen. she cant even say, 'atleast i got my health'. as much as a miracle might have happened to her, when will she get those past 4 years back.

so i wonder, in my heart of hearts, whether there is a all mightiful being out there. i would wish, that he/she would take the time to maybe show a little bit more that he cared, maybe. i would hope that in all this there was something, but honestly, i don't think it cares about us.

so, in spite of all that, i will still be a good person. not for the sake of anyone, not for the points of going to so called heaven. i want to be the good in this sin filled world.

let me know what you think. these are my many contradicting opinions on 'god', they all from what i know, and what i have seen. cut down on them as you may, prove to me with stylish words that i am wrong. try as you may to make me believe, or try to change my opinion that god isn't all its cracked up to be.

just remember, you didnt see what had happened to the other kid with the breathing machine.

I Cant Cry

I have heard a lot of people tell me that they cry all the time. every other night, they cry themselves to sleep. not because they are unhappy with life or something, but because it just helps to release it all.

i guess i can understand that, some people just need to let go of there emotional baggage, and the bet way for them to do that, is by crying. thats fair enough.

crying is one of those things, that a lot of people have told me, is necessary. i can understand that, but i don't believe is is true. honestly, personally, i dont think it should be necessary for someone to have to go to the lowest of emotional lows, engulf themselves in all there negative, degrading and sad feelings, all to let it all out, so that you can then feel better. it shouldn't have to be that way. you shouldn't have to go through a the hole torment of welling up with tears, and screaming it all out, every few nights.

i personally don't see the reasons why i would want to put myself through that.

but that is not the reason i cant cry, because even if i could, i wouldn't cry at those moments. i wouldn't cry over the menial and trivial, because, it kinda makes the big stuff seem less important. for if you are going to cry over everything, then the big stuff just becomes another nightly cry.

so i wouldn't cry that often anyways.

but the moments when i know i can't cry, are times, when all is changing, or all is sad, all is lost and forgotten. like when i moved away from england.

on my last few days, i said goodbye, to everyone i had ever known, EVERYONE. i said goodbye to grandparents, aunts and uncles, family, long time friends. i saw all of them, blossom with tears, and i saw the trails of salty sadness travel down there faces. i saw all the people i had ever known, steadily say goodbye to me, and steadily move on. the likely hood of me seeing most of them again is limited, and i knew that, the whole time while saying goodbye. but my eyes did not water, they did not gleam with sadness, they were dry and plain.

now the simple thing to that, could be that it was shock, and that i hadnt had the time to compute it all. but i still havent cried for those days. i still havent took the time, to cry for all the people that i have lost, and i will never see again. i have not cried for the fact that i had to leave everyone behind, and i do not know when i will see most of those people again, if at all.

those days, stick into me, as ones that define me as someone who cant cry.

another tragic day in my life, wuld ne the 10th of april this year. it was a wednesday, a casually normal wednesday. most people wont recognise the date as anything significant. but to me it is the day, that the brightest most sweetest angel in my life, left me. by this, i mean, the 10th of april was the last day i saw Charity. my gorgeous angelic friend. it had been 2 weeks since we had heard the new of her leaving, and here she was. i wandered with her, as she said goodbye, to all her close school chums, i stayed with her, and missed a whole psychology lesson to spend as much mroe time as i could with her. out side the salvation army shop we had our last hug, our last words, and the last moments as i saw her turn the corner and walk home.

and again, not a single tear. not througout all of that.

but that wasnt the worst part of that day. the morning had been filled with tribulations of shit, and when i came home, my house was a warfare of explosive arguments and tension. i spent the whole night, wanting another hug. until eventually i found my self in bed. all my thoughts swirling at how much of a terrible day it had been, and how much i had lost in the past moments. and it was there, in my bed, that i tried and tried and tried, to force it. to force a tear, a singular tear. all that i wanted, was to cry. to weep my sorrows away, the shead all the terrible baggage that i had shrouding over me. i wanted to feel the steadily flow of my own sadness roll down my face. but no emotional force in me could do it. i lay there, for hours. trying to cry, and i couldn't do it.

most of the time, me not being able to cry, is fine, i can deal with it. but it is times like those. where all i wish to do, is to let it all out, and i can't.

i think i have figured out a theory as to why am i am like this.

when i was young, i was a crier. an extreme crier. everything, menial, trivial, pointless, i would cry about, and as a result, i was bullied for it. i was bullied for crying, and because of that, i cried more, and more, and the vicious cycle continued. until one day, i cried no more. until the day, that i had cried a lifetimes worth of tears. i had cried all i could, and so now, i cry no more.

don't feel sorry for me, it is my curse, my burden and my greatest positive.

so when you see me, speaking gibberish, being random or just cynically bland, i would just like you to consider, that maybe that is my way of crying, or that maybe i am just a freak, :P

Its Uncanny To Feel So Lonely Around So Many People

Ok, so today, i went through something odd. The simple thing that happened, was i got banned from the music department.
Its not a big deal, realistically, but it did leave me in quite a situation. Only McGlasses, McDrums, McBass and McTall, could really make me feel better about it.
Now my expectation on McTall have steadily been drooping, and i did not believe that i could have supressed my inner loneliness with him. i need to talk to him, but i never do, gahness. McTall is complicating, and innocent and confusing, and i like that, but i need to know more, mm. off topic.

ok, let me just explain my emotions and all that.

ok, so i can imagine something here. inside that simple music department, there must have been some great funs, the greatest, ones that could not be risked. 40 minutes of pure excitement and enthralling joys, i can imagine, because thats what i love about that place. i can imagine how brilliant it must have been, how amazing it must have been, because it must have been so brilliant, that to contemplate leaving it, was ridiculous thoughts.
i mean, because to spend less than 40 minutes outside with just me, is absurd. i mean, the fun, is truely amazing.
but i am not recentful of the amount of fun that was had, because i can imagine it all, and that is enough for me.

for a few moments, say 10 15 maybe 20 minuutes, i had McGlasses and her friend with me, that was good. i tried to keep her with me aslog as i could, but the calling of the fun was too powerful, and so steadily that one was taken from me too. i was promised by McGlasses that people would come to spend time with me, and i trusted that promise.

now i have lived my times as a lonely person, i have dealt with the singular notions and the pondering hours of boredom and nauseating repetitive motions of just being by yourself. i have done that, i have lived it, and luckily for me, i have got by it, and found companions, hooray.

but today, while pssing boredom with snake 2 extreme, until eventually i wasnt playing to pass bored, but to distract myself from the hopelessness of the lonely. i got the cold chill of it again. it may have just be a small hint of it, but it was enough. to feel again, what it was like, to be forgot, left out, and all the most elaborate of feelings, coming back for those few moments, it was terrible.

every person that came out of that door, i had wished was my uncanny's, anyone, even just one, someone. but everytime, all i saw, was an unrecognizable year 8, or wrinkled teacher. each time my hope would rise, and deplete.

now, as much as i may be sounding un fair, it wasnt any of your fault that i was not aloud back in, and you were having such an amazing time inside. youm all must realise by now, that if it had been you sitting out there, you would have not spent a moment with your hope depleteing, and you would have not spent a single second of your banishment hopeinf so dearly to return. because you would have atleast had me. i would have stuck by you, no matter how much fun would have been had inside. you know that, deep down, you know that i would be the one to do that, even if no one else would.
so i wonder, why, when you know i would be the one to do it for you, could no one return the favour, no one. why would anyone consider leaving someone alone like that.

i could have easily have found somewhere else. but i had hoped that i wouldnt have needed to. surely the people who i treat so well, and who i have trusted to be there for me, and i so honestly am for them. i had trusted that they would be there for me in my time of desperation and need. so why was it, that i was left alone.

i have always treated people as i wish to be treated. but why does it never get returned.

i am sorry, if in anyway i have been unfair, but this is how it felt. honestly it felt like, to spend all your time enjoying the fun, that you could do anytime, was more worth it, than just spending a few measly minutes to stop me from feeling so alone.And as much as it may have just been a hit of loneliness, it hurt.

i have heard your apologises and it means alot to me
but it would have meant alot more to me, if someone had just been there.

Patient Listener

I realized today, how honestly patient i can be. When it comes down to it, when it comes to the crunch, i can be very patient.
By this is am talking about, people and there problems, and there necessity to tell someone, and honestly, i think you may find, that i am patient when it comes to people telling me what is up.
I realized today, how strangely tolerant i am, of people, and there emotions. i think it is my developing empathy. funny thing that.
A lot of people i have seen, cant handle the pressures of listening to people. they constant tell them, to get over it, or move on, or the likes. they are, for the sake of a point, impatient. i guess.
i saw it today, how quick people seem to be, to cut down on someones feelings, unintentionally, because there opinion doesn't comprehend with theres. irrationality and rationality don't comprehend, a simple thing i have noticed.
but yes.
i also realized how good a listener i am. i have always thought i am, but i realized again, how good i am. lol
i am complimenting myself a bit too much, but i find it necessary. because no one else every sees it, or acknowledges it.
ah, i grow tired of this blog, one day i will develop more on it, but for now, toodles

Hey Y'all:

I found this list on one of my favorite sites and thought I would share a little more about me with you! Feel free to re post.

1. What is your greatest fear? Failure

2. Who are your heroes in real life? My mother and husband

3. What is the trait you most deplore in yourself? My inability to lose weight!

4. What is the trait you most deplore in others? Inconsistency

5. What is your greatest extravagance? My biweekly manicure (with three kids and a musician for a husband a $40 ‘hand job’ is an extravagance)

6. What is your greatest regret? Not going to grad school right after college. Not that it’s to late but it’s going to be a struggle to go back now.

7. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I don’t think any of them are overrated. They are all need to make for a well rounded God focused life. Without chastity you fall into lust, without temperance you fall into gluttony, without charity you lead a life of greed, without diligence you deal with sloth, without patience you are full of wrath, without kindness you have envy and without humility you are doomed to the failure of pride

8. What is your current state of mind? Hopeful

If I Had a Pot of Gold ...

Today we wrote about what we would do if we found a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.  I was so surprised by some of the answers -what a caring and considerate group of kindergartners!

Required Honors Curriculum Freshman through Senior Years

Required Honors Curriculum Freshman through Senior Years

CORE 115H: Honors Common Ground

Incoming traditional students are required to complete this first-year course, which explores historical and current ideas about the common good and introduces the critical thinking skills vital to active citizenship. Those interested in the Honors Program should successfully complete the Honors level of CORE 115.

Service Element

Students must successfully complete one service learning credit.

HRN 400: Honors Capstone

Each student presents a review of his or her best undergraduate work. Some students choose an aspect of their departmental capstone project, while others reflect on their earlier Honors work. Some showcase campus or community service.

A Combination of Four of the Following

  • Honors Seminar Courses - Available in any major
  • Honors Contract Courses - If Honors level does not exist in course, Honors students and faculty can create an Honors experience within an existing course
  • Approved Travel Courses - Students and faculty travel to domestic and international locations to study classroom lessons in real-life settings

Sample Honors Project

Topics in Literature: James Joyce & Ulysses

Zachary Hacker '12 worked closely with Dr. Drew Shannon, associate professor of English, to read the works of James Joyce with particular emphasis on Ulysses. They also studied numerous film adaptations of Ulysses and the cultural impact of the controversial text. Zach prepared an essay that examined the flipping of expectations throughout the novel, with most attention given to the violations of the Homeric structure and the switched gender roles of Molly and Bloom compared to Penelope and Odysseus in “The Odyssey.”

A Little German Town

I went to visit Grace & Olivia
in their new home and I took what I call
"The Scenic Route"
and went through this quaint little
German Town!
 It's called Munster and it's
very interesting!
 There are murals on the buildings
that look like a child sized main street.
 There are also a few antique shops!
 I stopped and looked around at the
Antique Mall. It's got a little
bit of everything. I'll probably
make regular stops there on my way
to and from visiting the girls.
 I'd also like to take the girls to see
this little town!
But really, I didn't see much for little
girls to do. There is a pool with a few water
slides, but it's too cold for that. I'll have to
look a little further off the main path to see
if there is something they might like to do.
I did find a German Bakery!
I stopped on the way and picked up
and Apple Strudel to take with
me to share.
It was so delicious!
I stopped on the way home
to get another.

  1. We will have to go this way when we visit Heather and the girls some time! It will make me "homesick" I am sure! What a neat town!! Thank you for sharing! :)
