What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we cant decipher. What we can't understand we call nonsense. There is no free will. There are no variables.

| So I got engaged in Feb, enough about that. This is a great piece by my
favorite, Eric Neel about Dogertown.
While on the subject of baseball, Mark
Ellis is my favorite Athletic and is a huge pimp. I cannot wait for the season to start, there is some
poetry in baseball, and that Dodger peice does a good job of explaining it. I just cannot shake the vision of a
quiet sunny yard in summer with the game on tv or radio while I slip in and out of sleep. It's like some perfect dream that shows up
in movies where everything extranious is stripped away and you are only left with baseball. As we all know though, the real world is not so kind, and that is why
I like This Watch. I need to instill some of this pessimism in my swimmers.
I can't wait till next year, I'm going to kick so many kids off the team because they've been handed everything, it'll be great. Ferris Bueller is another
of those pure and beautiful things in this world and I saw this recently and It's good times. 'I'll never forget a couple of years back when, while with the Cubs, Randall Simon hit one of the Brewers' Sausage Race mascots with a bat. To make up to the fans for it, he promised to buy sausages for any section that a home-run ball of his landed in. When it finally happened, Chip Caray made the call "Abe Froman might be the Sausage King of Chicago, but Randall Simon is now the Sausage King of Milwaukee" In every single place that has ever ever been Hiroshima, Los Angeles and each town in between |

| Dear US court system. In Your
Face. Having a doctor for a fathe is awesome. I cooked up some medical excuse and viola, no more jury duty
in SF for me, though it was probably the bonds trial, and I could have become a millionare by selling my story to
anybody who would buy it, I feel this was a great victory for citizens everywhere. Jury duty should not be
manditory, this would be my political platform, that and turning the US into a hermit nation, where nobody gets
in or out. Rock band has been going well, I beat it on expert, still have one song to go on Guitar Hero 3
though, my gamercard reflects my awesome status. This guy does
'zero punctuation' reviews of video games which are funny and insightful if you have time to waste, his videos will accomplish the task. I have also officially waited until like the last possible week to
do work that is required by the state for me to teach, so its basically get it done or find a new job. Also I
will be coaching swim team, which means I will have even less time to do my actual class work stuff, which I
hardly do anyways because I've played about 400 matches of mario strikers with my students during lunch and or
prep periods. Lesley's big time christmas gift to me has been completed
I think I should be goin, yeah And time doesnt wait for me, it keeps on rollin |

| I have returned from the frozen tundra of Chicago, which resulted in about 180 photos. 1. People in Chicago will double park and trap you in the dropoff lane at the airport. 2. people in Chicago don't stop at the limit line. 3. people in chicago cut into your lane when making turns. Sadly, I have returned to more jury duty action, hopefully I can get out of it, because it will be a bitch. though, if it was the bonds trial, it could make me rich, tellall book or some such thing. I once again have a working copy of Guitar Hero 3, and new songs on rock band make life worth living. Though the innevitable return of school makes me shudder in fear. Saw The Kingdom yesterday and it was pretty good. I reccomend for those of you with the netflix. My final Christmas present from lesley was purchased today. The limited edition portal Print got sent out for custom framing today, It will look very nice when completed. Also I don't know if I can love the A's now that they've traded Nick Swisher. |

| How do I know that I live in a hellhole surrouned by the dumbest people on the
planet? What proof do I have that says that the bright center of a universe of knowledge is but a distant speck
in a telescope? Well for starters, the most popular movie rental in Antioch from netflix is Bratz: the movie read some of those
reviews. After reading those, how can one possibly click the add to queue button? You would have to be some
kind of brain dead vegetable. I weep for the future. If you don't have a basement or closet stocked with copious
amounts of ammo and food, its like you want to die. Just look at the mounting evidence I Am Legend is coming out, we only have 5 years left until
december 2012. Start arming youself now. I just finished playing Portal which is all kinds of awesome. Check the trailer if you
have a 360, or a PStriple. Just remember that the cake is a lie. I have purchased a laptop for lesley and we
went with the eee pc
which is pretty nice. It is only about the size of a standard hardcover novel, like moneyball. Super tiny,
light, and quiet. it doesnt have a hard drive or dvd drive, only flash memory, so no moving parts. the built in
wireless works well and has a memory card slot to upgrade your space, its really just a web surfing, chatting,
paper writing machine, but can play movies and music providied the 2 gigs of standard space can hold you over. It
shall be usefull for my plane ride to chicago in 2 weeks. Also rock band is freaking awesome. And so is the
Oakland A's Christmas Card I recived in the mail.
he's overseas to fight the disease. It's spreading fast over maps and it don't look back. |

| GAH, we're running nearly a month between updates. Something must change. But school really does take a lot of time away from me. Lesley had the preposterous idea the other day that I get ANOTHER JOB at LMC teaching video. The only other job I would consider at this point would possibly be professional guitar hero 3 player. Because that game is freaking fun. And let me tell you people. an XBOX 360 is worth every freaking penny. You need to find a way to save $350 double quick and order this sucker so we can get online. Halo 3 and GH3 DOMINATED the bulk of my time this weekend, much to the anger of lesley. And then GH3 came with a foo fighers download pack of songs, heaven help her if they drop a Thursday or Flogging Molly pack. Cal football continues its downslide, but at least their water polo team beat USC, I'll also be going to a polo tournament at cal on the 25th, which is the sunday after thanksgiving, though I doubt I'll have many joiners on that one. But seriously 360, its made of win. Except for all the 12 year olds with 4 letter word vocabluaries who basically just scream obscenities in halo. Halloween came and went, bobb and I went as mormons, and all the girls at my school went as sluts. well most of them anyways. here is a picture of lesley as daphney from Scooby Doo, complete with scooby doll, and timbotron as... THE KING |
