school break
Category: vacation

Do you know how you plan something, and you never get to it? I have had so much planned for my semester break, and I haven't even started any of it. The main reason is that I am lazy in the mornings, and I have been putting in extra hours at work to compensate for when the semester starts.

I put my small 17 gallon aquarium together. It's a freshwater planted tank.
I wish I had room and floor support for a 55 or 80 gallon aquarium. I would set up a salt tank. I like lionfish, but I would probably start with butterflies and angels, and/or tangs.

Matthew's 50 gallon salt is beautiful! Someday I hope to have the space. I always wanted to have a clear kitchen floor and have my saltwater aquarium beneath me while I cook. You would need scuba gear to clean it!

Here is a picture of my tank before I added some small fish.

last day!
Category: school

I am sitting in speech class right now. Basically, I am here to listen only, because I have attended all my classes and completed all my speeches. A gentleman is talking about recycling right now.

WOW, i just figured out how the comment system works.

I am heading over to Metthew's journal to check out pictures of his fish!

one day left
Category: school

Friday is the last day of the semester! I have some finishing touches to put on my 75 page choose your own adventure story. As soon as the semester ends, I will be working on my new business.

Does anyone have, want, or are interested in tropical fishkeeping?

I am going to start a business in that hobby.
Please, anyone with a fishtank, post a picture of your fish on estrip! I will post a pic of my tank as soon as I clean it!

Merry Christmas!

Matthew has about a gazillion posts about his fish on estrip. You should look back and check them out. He has amazing photos!

end of the semester crunch

Next week is the last week of the semester! At the Art Institute, there is no finals week, how cool is that? I have been feverishlyy working on a 70 page choose your own adventure story. I don't know how writers do it! It is such hard work writing creatively for such an exasperated amount of time! My condensed story is equivalent to a 35 page single spaces 11point story. In a way I am proud of myself for putting so much coherent thought into one source in a 3 week span of time!

What a ramble. My mind is exploding with too many thoughts at once.

All in all, I can't wait for the semester to end. The break will be well enjoyed, but I am more so looking forward to next semester's classes!

war on terror
Category: war

In response to Paul,

We will never be able to remove terrorism from the globe. I am willing to bet, that for each terrorist we destroy, two come back in his/her place. I have been agreeing with you for the last 2 years! Even if Bush went on a world conquering escapade, and the US spanned the globe, we would still have terror.

Instead of fighting the symptoms of terrorism, why don't we fight the cause? It sounds impossible, how do you give others the values that we (americans) live by? I agree that someone needs to fight terrorism, but let us stop the practices that cause terrorists to attack first. Then fight the terrorist groups, but on a lesser scale. Why doesn't the US just use small task forces to seek out the heads of the terrorist movements?

Sorry, just me rambling on a tired subject. Happy Howl-o-ween!

By defination terrorism can never end. The reason is that terrorism is a view of an act. For example the US does all sorts of shit that we never hear about or really know about. to other countries that is terrorism. I have heard the the Checzenian rebels are verry bad and do a lot of evil things. But to them selves they want freedom. I good movie example is Star Wars. The jedis figrht the epire (who are told that the dark side is evil). But to those in the epire the rebels are terrorist they blow up the death star. When the US said no taxation with out representaion and who had the boston tea party that was an act or terrorism in those days. It is all from your own point of view what counts as terrorism so it can never really end, as long as someone thinks they are fighting for the fredom or from repression or someone they belive to be evil.
