Cape Sheboygan

Thanks to a post by Woody or Matt.

Looks like someone is finally getting on the ball game in Wisconsin. According To the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, our beloved Sheboygan, home to RFS and hundreds of six to ten foot rockets could become America's next gateway to space, check out the article here. Man would that be cool or what. Personally I really don’t think it has much of a chance since it’s much cheaper to launch spacecraft as near the equator as possible. Still I have to say I'll fully back a Wisconsin Space Port, I'd even organize a Public Interest group for this baby. So all of you FSFIers out there reading this time to mobilize.

And they dont have a clue

not much to report as I head straight into finals week. This morning is was suprised by by math teacher with the first of a set of five finals. Tommorow I have another in there. (currently Studying). Anyway all I can really say right now is coffie, Bawls, and textbooks will rule the day of Cockat00 for a while. Oh and just to throw this out there congrats to Fatal1ty for winning the CPL finals of Painkiller in NYC. It should be intresting to see him play Quake 4 at this years CPL winter event. Anyway back to the books , and for MR. V the light at the end of the tunnel is now visable.

I can see whats Happening

Thanksgiving went well I didn't even burn anything (quite proud of myslef) not that i catually thought I would. Still our food was verry tasty, I think I will finish off the leftovers for lunch tommorow. I don't want to brag or anything but id be willing to bet it was the best meal anyone has had in their dorm room ever, or at least one of them. Just never make your little Cornish hen actually look like a happy dancing broadway play, I guess it freaks out those who are about to eat it, (inside story).

As for the overheating problem with the new computer welllll, the new heatsink did not fix it, the cpu is running a heck of allot cooler but games are still hardcrashing it, to tell you the truth i am actually starting to question my ability to fix this problem . I am quite simply running out of ideas for solution to the problem. Let me know if you can Think of anything (she runs everything else beautifully except for games). Its only stable in games when I unplug the external power for the video card and run it at a realy slow clock speed.

Well not much to report studying for finals has begun as in less then two weeks Ill be done. Man I can't wait for a real vacation. Anyway calsses are all going fairly well exceptf for Physics. Man that class is for people with IQ's of like a gigiallian bagillion. Let's just hope for my sake I can get a C in there so I can move on. I registered for a bunch of classes next semester already, got some JAVA programing Data Structures,Physics, Discrete Math, Government II and a couple of labs and what not. So far soo good in that respect too. God willing in a few days Ill be on a plane heading for home where text books dont exist (or at least dont exist in my mind).

Best

Ok soo This is the first of a new set of blogs hopefully I will actually be able to update this thing like in the past. The past week and a half has been one of the hardest of my life those who are closest to me know what I am talking about and thats all I am going to say about it.

While coocking thanksgiving dinner I saw one ofthe best commercials i Have seen in a long time make sure you watch it here.

What do you want to be?

Its the question that every parent asks their child what do you want to be when you gor up, some will say astornaut or dinosaur person how about a professional gamer well. Here is an article that covers that very tpic, man I wish I would have become a professional gamer. Who Needs college. Oh well life goes on I guess.

As the world turns

So between Being sick, Midterms and general busyness, SyNONYM has been pretty weak lately, sorry about that, but as life goes you have to prioritize. So I spent most of this weekend lying in bed watching movies attempting to get better as fast as possible. One movie I happened to pick randomly from my rather large collection was the Rock. As many times as I have seen the movie it still always makes me think. The plot line is so realistic it just really makes you think about certain things, plus being in the military gives you a unique perspective on many points covered as well. If you have not seen it I highly recommend it. Anyway, onto the other stuff.
The new computer I build (for dirt cheap might I say) since I got a bunch of the parts at QuakeCon continues to have issues. Basically it’s a really small really powerful computer. I learned at QuakeCon that having a seventy pound case going to LAN parties is more difficult then fitting a square filter into a round hole. After a long drawn out process of trial and error I finally figured out that because the airflow in the case is not good, the CPU is overheating. So completely annoyed with the problem, I purchased a two pound Zalman copper heat sink for her, let’s just say the overheating problem should be a thing of the past (hopefully).
In other news, Thanksgiving is approaching and with it another visit from Kim, oh how I can’t wait to see her. I have to make thanksgiving dinner here in the room so that should be interesting hopefully I don’t mess anything up too much. It sounds like my roommate Chris is going home for dinner that makes cooking a bit easier since it will only be for two people, well more like three as Kim can always eat for two, I have no idea where she puts all of it, high metabolism or something I guess. Onto studying, tomorrow I have our biggest exam in Government it’s an all written exam covering a multitude of topics. Oh boy just hope I can write fast enough. Can’t wait until that thing is over it will sure be a load off my mind. But as time goes on so does everything else. Only a few finals to go then it’s Christmas break oh yeah I cant wait to see that pure Wisconsin Snow.

Oh yeah once again let me know if you want me to blog about something in particular.

Smells like Old People in Here

The name of this blog does not in any way put down those over the hill.

Through the lobby doors separating the lecture pits from the labs in the new science building once again my nostrils were faced with a daunting challenge. Growing stronger and stronger with each passing step closer to my physics lab the smell of many childhood memories rushed into my brain. Ahhhh yess the smell of formaldehyde filled the hallways.

It was seventh grade at Woodworth Junior High School, Third hour I believe, my science teacher, Mr. Schipper stood in the front of class rambling on about some ladder of life thing. Normally I would have been bored out of my mind but that day was special, on the board drawn with special care was the diagram of a frog. Next to the board stood a TV cart loaded with a Laser disc setup, the screen read “Frog Anatomy”. See this day holds a special place in any young boys heart, the day was Frog Dissection day. Mr. Schipper continued to talk pointing out in the diagrams what it was we were actually supposed to be finding or doing. Of course I sat completely oblivious to his meaningless speech patterns, while pictures of sharpened scalpels danced through my head. Only feet away stood rows of skinless frogs bobbing up and down in the yellowing liquid. Mere minutes of waiting for my groups very own frog to dice, seemed like eternity.



We took a dissecting pan from under the stack and filled it with a little water it formed small bubbles atop the rubberized surface. Misc. Silver tools lay neatly next to the pan on brown paper towel. T-Pins clumsily poked through the limbs of foggy creating small crunching noises here and there. The class grew silent, some nervous (mostly girls of course), some anxious to make some chop suey out of our little prince we waited for that one little word ………“begin”…

Scalpels in hand we dug into our once sesame street friend, an incision along the axis of the frogs chest revealed the scapula (scissors make quick work of it), all at once the word of innards became visible. Ovaries, we had a girl frog. Yellow pin here indicating a kidney, blue pin here for the liver. The class continued to follow Mr. Shipper’s instruction taking out specific organs pinning them along side the frog corpse. Drawing diagrams iding parts. Oh man could life get any better……

The big hand was approaching the little hand as I realized it was almost time to clean up. Little did Mr. Schipper know as I wet paper towel to cover the frog for possible further reference the next day, certain parts of the frogs anatomy had gone missing………



Later on, after school, an unusual number of people found their way behind the school to the football field. some yelled out its gooooddddd! While other threw up their hands mimicking the NFL striped guys on TV……..

Set laser PHASRs on stun

Wow firest Transpatent aluminum now Phasers whats next replicators or warp drive?

ComeHoming

Ok since I really don’t have the knack to finish this thing in its entirety (still not feeling well) I have decided to post the Homecoming story in its unfinished form, I just don’t want to keep everybody waiting. So here it is in its half form.

Prairie View TX, Population, (the number of fingers on your left hand). Well at least normally that is, but for during one crucial weekend out of the year Prairie View, a particle of dust in god’s eye, gains sentious, Homecoming.
Ok so everybody knows that PV (as a city) could fall off a cliff and nobody would care or even notice. One run down gas station with barred windows, a fast food place serving non other then chicken and a couple of houses. That is the straight up truth to what is here. But homecoming changes all of that. Empty fields fill bumper to bumper with RV’s, campers, tents; double parked cars line the one road PV has. Normally filled classrooms seem deserted, while parties fill the air with music and BBQ. If I had to put a finger on how many people come to PV for homecoming I would say its probly pushing three thousand. Pretty big for a school of eight. Anyway One main attraction is the parade, which ends up being a battle of the bands dozens and I do mean dozens of local high schools, junior high’s, even elementary and colleges bus their bands the PV parade. Having been in band myself, I believe I can speak for the bands when I say holy chicken nuggets that’s allot of band. Anyway bands are not the only thing in the parade either, it has the usual band stuff, alumni ride in horse drawn carriages, sit on top of cars more expensive then a seawolf class submarine. Only describable with three words “Organized Utter Chaos”. Perhaps its only big to those attending or who have graduated from PV, maybe its one of those things that you just don’t get until you experience it (kind of like spam). I also imagine that other campuses around the world have similar homecomings or even bigger and better ones. That being said I can’t imagine how big the homecoming festivities at a large campus with 40,000 plus students would be.

Oh yeah and just so everybody knows PV lost By how much I have no idea but at halftime it was 47, to 7 Mississippi valley, yeah looks like PV wont be capturing any new records for games won this year. Not that we really care anyway.

Mabye

I am not sure, but as of right now I think I am starting to come down with some sort of sickness. I have been tired for the past few days and the ol' stomach has not like what I have given it. Mabye those last two weeks of midterms Homecoming and navy stuff cought up with me. Ok and for those of you waiting for my next big entry, I am currently about half way through with it. Like I said I have not been feeling verry well the past few days. Hopefull it will be done for you all soon. In the mean time laugh for a while reading these jokes.

A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, enters a confessional booth, sits down but says nothing The Priest coughs a few times to get his attention but the drunk continues to sit there. Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall.

The drunk mumbles, “ain’t no use knockin; there’s no paper on this side either.”
