I made my cross country blitz and now I am here in Montana, and wouldn’t you know the weather is great. I really was expecting it to be bad, but that is life I suppose. Ten points if you can tell me what the weather is. Anyway the town is looking good.

I have been thinking about a few things lately: Poetry and its interpretation, International Law and its implications, and my life and its future. I am undecided on all counts.

I am done with my paper, not bad, not good, but done. Now I going to set out on an epic cross country road trip that will see me behind the wheel of my mini-van for approximatly 24 hours over the course of the next three days. if that does not sound like fun, well what is. me and my mind better start getting along otherwise it could be a very long trip, who am I trying to kid it is a very long trip. That’s just what I’m talking about. Wish me luck. out.

God is Evil, Property is theft, Proudhon is really just full of cute aphorisms. IF I can’t make a paper of substance out of those two tid bits I have serious problems. It is strange to me to be putting together one of the last papers of my college experience. When I am done I will have a beer and tip a frozen cow. College in Iowa does have its perks.

I was just told that the word blog means joke in french, but it is not spelled like that just sounds like that. I suppose it does not really matter how it is spelled because french is a silly looking language. Anyway. I think that more of my friends should start blogging. it would be funner. SO go to Blogger and set one up today.

I am writeing a paper on P. J Proudhon He said in answer to his own question that “property is theft” I hope to understand him enough in the next few hours to write a paper on him. I don’t know
if I will be sucessfull. But it should be a long night trying. Here I go.

This week is the big pledge week here at Cornell, from my cynical perspective, it is when all of the insecure freshmen preference a group of insecure upperclassmen, who then in turn either admit or deny those underclass people based upon their own capriciousness. The end result is a larger group of insecure people who are privileged to feel more secure because of their increased company. It has always been a drag to me that a school that is as small as cornell has to be divided up so much more by these ridiculous greek institutions. I feel like it has deprived me of meeting a bunch of interesting people. But I suppose that is the way the cookie was eaten.

When I was a freshmen I remember writing THIS when I first realized that Cornell’s social groups sucked.

Ambition is an important thing to posess when attempting to maintain a page such as this. Ambition today is hard to come by. So… so.

I am in school. I would rather not be in school.

Peter Ferrara makes the case that it’s not about the oil. I agree. Clearly it would be of no benefit to U.S. Oil companies if they could get their hands on the worlds third largest oil reserve. It is just basic economics. Peter is right to say that the left are silly simpletons for suggesting anything to the contrary. War for oil? Never could there be an idea so ridiculous!

I suppose if I do not want this site to fall flat from its unfortunate happenings I ought to begin to add content again. It is just that it is disheartening to lose things that are created with the purpose to keep for a long time. The proleptic nostalgia is an important aspect to creating a blog like this. Without the confidence of being able to someday look back, it is somewhat harder to create today. I suppose it is better if I ignore that difficulty and create today for today?s sake. Yeah.
