consequential and deontoligcal ethics. i have been given names for the bloody things. obviously : jimmoi suffers from consequential ethic syndrome, the sad belief that "the more people it helps, the better the thing is" ... I however am more deontoligcal - my believe system stating that "reguardless of how many people are helped, if something is wrong - it is wrong." this is obviously evident in our much fumed-over World War Two debate... which I silently forgot about. I must quote this from my "buisness law/ethics" book ... it's classic, I laughed out loud and the teacher yelled at me for being 'anti-social and having a generally bad mood all the time.' I laughed about that too. In any event, I don't think she likes me a whole lot, go figure : neither did Devine. Maybe it's because they aren't teaching anything. They just read from a book that gives them questions to arise at the most opportune of times. You'll never see one of them off-the-wall jump into another topic, drop ethics, and start talking about how the saltine cracker industry is suffering from employees not taking salted crackers as seriously as they should. No. strictly to the book. carbon-copy teachers. they could easily be replaced with large boxes that read any text you fill into it, and then spew out the words on the text in a mechanical manner whenever it is programmed to interrupt the class from 'reading out loud' and say "what do you think about the grafitti on the wall? well, what do you think (insert student name)?" ... but of course - that would be too impersonal. Nobody wants to listen to a giant metal box that sounds like a mechanicaly retarded target employee (cough).

Oh, yes - the quote : "Under the U.S. Constitution, the courts would declare such laws invalid because they deny "equal protection of the law" to the minority. Other concepts of natrual rights are used to protect political minorities from exploitation by those who make up the political majority. For example, the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution declares: "No person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law."

{ cute? it gets better }

The United States of America is a country that recognizes and supports human rights. Other countries vary dramatically in the extent to which they do so. Civil rights ( or civil liberties ) generally are personal, human rights recognized and guaranteed by our Constitution.

I saw the line "The u.s.a. is a country that recognizes and supports human rights" and laughed aloud, as I was thinking of Hiroshima and Nagasaki - and thinking about their debates "hey guys, wouldnt that violate our "no person shall be... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" idea? and then the man is shot, and the leader says "anyone else want to talk about cock-a-mi-mi 'civil rights' with your panzy 'fifth amendments'? THIS IS WAR DAMNIT."
eh, i thought it was funny, some general sayinc cock-a-mi-mi.. that was classic. oh well.

hey jeff - sorry about the secret hidden small messege : i wrote it out, looked back on it - and said to myself : 'thats just wrong' ... i attemptd to delete it before i went to sleep last night... and uh, was so tired that when I figured it wouldnt actually delete - i didn't care. so, this is a formal apology for being an ass. what I did was entirely un-called for. bah. in any event - i read brave new world ( have you? ) and it's god-like. beauty at it's finest. I have to see and find if i can get anything else written by Huxley. good stuff. a man of genius.

I didn't do my math homework today. I got shot off track because of getting pulled out of class on monday, i believe. so tomorrows work i'll be sure to have done. one missing assignment, big deal right? seems i cannot see tripod images through the bethel school site. either that or the posting is just still fux0red with tripod. so instead of constantly coming here to have someone suggest a provider to me - im going home today to find one myself. I think xoom, however, doesn't allow outside viewing either. blasted.

In other news : two teachers died - one of viral pneumonia and the other of a brain aneurysm. everyone was sad. everyone cried. they were loved. however I do imagine some students out there who use to always call the teachers bitches (ironically, they were both women teachers) and use to wish they would die, came to school - found the teachers were dead - and have now crossed over to christianity, believing they were responsible for the deaths of the teachers. ahh, isn't self-punishment grand? oh, and in L.A. a study was done that has proven that in 97-98 there was a 59% of all shows on television that talked about sex, now there is 68% in 99-00. not only that, but only 10% talk about the risks and responsibilities of sex and it's other such sodomizing pleasures.

[enter jimmoi from left stage] Jimmoi : butt-sex. [exit jimmoi to right stage]

In other manners of putting it : Among sitcoms, 84 percent contain sexually oriented language or action, up from 56 percent in the previous study. Only movies, at 89 percent, have more sex. Among dramas, sexual content rose from 58 percent to 69 percent. Hoo-rah. I just cant wait until instead of going to school to learn about sex - you go, they say "your assignment today is to go home and watch channel 99" and in the future channel 99 will not only be the spice channel but the EDUCATIONAL spice ... ( Edu-spice for short ) channel. Yesssh...

The future will be grand, superb, and most of all : hedonistically unimpared.
... something like a soma-holiday

It was snowing yesterday morning.
I walked out the back door, just like any other morning, and saw it.
Here comes the disturbing part:
I was not happy to see it. Instead, quite the opposite; I stopped dead in my tracks and uttered an expletive. NOT a happy expletive, no, a "this sucks, cause I have to drive in it" curse. Before, that would have been a "cool, I have to drive in this, heh heh heh"
But nope, I was rather pissed at the sight of it. This does not bode well.......

[WANDERiNG THROUGH THE DESERT OF MiSFORTUNE]

Today was an interesting day. Okay, so it wasn't, but i'm supposed to say that since i am paying a crap load of money to come to this school and learn. It'll be worth it i guess, especially after what breanna told me yesterday. She said that basically, if you work for one of the counties in Washington state, and you have a BA in Psychology, they will pay you around $75 dollars an hour. That is a great sum of money. This was good news to get for me considering that i am going to have my BS in Psychology, which is just as good, if not better in some circumstances, by the end of next year...roughly. Also, I am more than likely going to stay here until i have my Ph.D. in some aspect of Psychology, so the suffering and the tuition will be worth it. Or so i think.

I went to the Seattle Aquarium today. One of my assignments in one of my classes (Comparitive Animal Behavior, for any of those out there who care) is to choose an animal, study it, pick a specific behavior from that animal, and write a paper about it. It's not really a difficult assignment. However, as part of the "study it" section of that assignment, i have to observe a said animal for 5 hours, at least. So that is what i found myself doing for 2 hours today in front of the River Otter exhibit. (Thankfully we don't have to do the observation for 5 hours straight, not that watching river otters swim for 2 hours instead of 5 is any more enjoyable.) I have yet to really choose a particular behavior that i saw for the river otter. I was interested in one odd tail shaking maneuver that they went through, until i came to the realization that it was a maneuver that aided them in defecation. Go figure. Imagine my utter astonishment and surprise when i was filming them and caught this tail shaking in action, only to catch river otter defecation in the process. Just wet's your appetite, doesn't it?

Let's see, what else, what else... Oh yes, i am thinking about joining the Amnesty International Club. It sounds interesting, and i realize that since i am here, i should be doing something to get "more involved" in my school and whatnot. Normally i would laugh off such a though quickly, but then i realize, "Hey wait, this ISN'T Bethel High School, where the only important thing is how to tip over a cow in 5 steps or less." Perhaps I am being to hard on Bethel though. Perhaps...

Mr. Collins, as much as i would love to litter the webspace given to me by UW, in return for paying huge sums of money to have the priveledge of coming here, with your tons and tons of wonderful images of cheese or bacon, or whatever other item has struck your fancy, i simply cannot. The school has kind of a thing about security and not loaning out webspace and passwords and whatnot. Plus, you don't know, i might end up needing that space if i ever take a webbing class here or something. However, if i can find a way to do it, i might be able to get you some of my space...but i am not promising anything at this time. As for the wav files for the dialouge, i haven't thought the lines through yet, as i am still in the video editing aspect of the movie process. Stay tuned for further developments. Also, i can't determine your dialouge yet until every character's dialouge has been finished, and i won't know for sure if i will have enough voices, seeing as how my cache of voices is currently low. HINT HINT!!! Ahem.

You know, one day you, Mr. Collins, Mr. Wegener, and Mr. Miller, should take a trip up here and hangout. We could see the Waterfront or something. Yes jimmy, i am fully aware of how many times you suggested that to me. Of course, i wouldn't suggest doing that anytime soon for several reasons. Right now i am on the busy side of getting projects done and readings and exams taken care of. Also, the weather up here isn't exactly what i would call "lazin' about" weather. Damn, it gets cold, especially closer to the water. Basically it wouldn't be all that fun, unless you wanted to watch the homeless people hang out by the Waterfront. I was sitting there today and writing in my journal thing, when suddenly these two homeless people start lifting up one of the tables nearby. I wasn't sure what they were doing, but it almost seemed like they were trying to make off with one of the Waterfront park benches. It is an interesting endeavor, but doable i suppose, considering the benches aren't exactly bolted down... Oh the interesting things one can see when not paying attention.

Well, enough ranting for now. I have laundry downstairs. Actually about 9 floors down. Why 9 floors you ask? Well simple little ones... The food and housing board stuck me on the 8th floor (the top floor), and the washing machines and dryers are on the G floor. Don't even ask me as to what the G floor is. I would hazard a guess, but i'd probably get the ever-infamous stupid look. I think i have a record for getting that.
Nice.

Oh, and as always, pictures for all the viewing audience... Just think of these as an orgasm for the eyes!


I just love my life on the EiGHTH FLOOR. It doesn't get any better than this!


Hey everybody, a river otter that thinks like jimmy!


My friend is looking for love. Maybe you'll be his perfect match...


Why a half-eaten orange? Because UW gave me the space to store this picture, so i did. Okay, that was just uncalled for on my part.

i haven't much to post. i had brought my crap-camera to school today, and forgot to take pictures of people. so, towards the end of the day when i remembered, i quickly took pictures of all the people around me. mind you - the only reason I remembered that I had a camera on me was ( as you will see ) that d-zuber had a camera and was playing around with it. I wonder if he's given DS ( also featured below ) her fight-club booklet. highly doubtfull.

in any event - im getting real sick of this upload-to-tripod bullshit. i want to organize my pictures in to a directory called 'pix' ... however tripod won't allow that for some reason. Tripod is ghey. ( this small messege is directed at jeff : you see the reason I keep bitching about how tripod is soooooo terrible, is so that you can say " Hey james! you can use my UW space for your pictures! " ... eh heh, but then that would be uh... mean of me to do. uhm... what? where am I going with this? i don't know.
ok, now as for those pictures!


WHEEE!!!

the rest of said reason being the lack of money, pu**y and respect.

but now I work on computers....?

shit.

isn't the media grand?

part of the reason I dropped journalism my junior year.

[OUTRAGES iN THE NEWS]

Guess what i was just laid witness to. I was sitting here by my computer, watching the TV and drinking some good ol' fashioned OJ. I decided to watch the news since i am supposed to keep up-to-date with all the current news and whatnot. So what do i do? I turned to MSNBC. First they were talking about Former President Clinton's 11th hour pardons. That was fairly important i would say, especially when you consider what they next decided to report on...

As i sat there watching, they switched to a reporter in Boca Renton, or some place like that. And why where they there? Well, because Former President Clinton had been playing a game of golf. GOLF?! Of all the things they could spend three minutes on, they decided to spend it on him playing GOLF and scoring an 83. (I have no idea what that meant by the way.) Come to think of it, i don't even think he was playing golf. I think he was just on a driving range, which makes this 3 minutes spent even more insane. After that, to quickly save face i suppose, the reporter quickly covered Clinton's first speech as an ex-president, and how he got paid $100,000 for it. I still find it hard to accept that the news could spend a good 3 minutes on this type of nonsense coverage. Three minutes may not seem like much, but considering airtime and prices for a minute of airtime, it is still considerable. I could do a hell of a lot with only three minutes of air. (For example, 3 minutes of air would allow me to show half of the spectacular Bethal Slayer movie.) They could easily report on the problems with Kosovo, the poverty in third world nations, the peace talks in Israel, the elections in Israel, the power shortages in California and Washington, etc... Instead it was, "Hey guys! Clinton scored an 83 at the driving range!! Whoo Hoo!"

I'm so proud of our news agencies.
Nice.

Dude, James, that link you put for (www.thenewtribune.com…) is fucked up…..instead of (thenewstribune) that should be (tribnet) otherwise it works…..

Listening to the new Dave Matthews song, [I did it], and it seems DMB has gotten back some of what they lost on [before these crowded streets….] but it’s still not quite as good as [under the table and dreaming]----you know, one thing I’ve noticed about that CD is that it’ll make almost any stereo system sound good…..strange but true….

It’s cycled back to that Moby song again…. I wonder who does the guitar on that track?

Ugh. What to do this weekend? I’ll most likely spend the money I earned during the week. That seems to be the trend lately for me…work my ass off all week and blow the money every weekend....except the paycheck only comes once a month, so gas money about the 25th is scarce. Maybe I should change this? I want to save up to buy a vehicle that gets better mileage, but I spend too much money on gas driving Beast, and then anything else I buy.....

Shit, time for work.....

BTW, Jeff, what the fuck are you talking about?
{Jeff BORTON, not Paulino}
{I do actually understand what Paulino}
{is saying. Is that good or bad?}

i know i know i know. :p

it's just something i like to bring up once and awhile, as when i was young and in grade school they taught us the fun little rhyming ahh 'theorem' you could say - and I raised my hand asking about the word "weird." .... the teacher never replied, said that was a special instance - and continued to brainwash the other children. guh. I believe the thing should be wiped from our educational experiences.

hmmm. i need to shave. someone remind me to do that later on today after school.

height! please explain that.......

you know my life is complete when I've gotten bradbury to spend time explaining something non-car related :)

whee.

Which Mr. Kinkela are you referring to? Dave or Tony? Either way, I take it you have some history with them? I didn’t think any of you went to Cedarcrest (not that I remember jr high all that well-wonder why)

They are gonna make us wear a uniform at work now….just a polo shirt, but still it’s the idea. I suppose the silver lining is that now I won’t have to worry about what to wear to work every day (hmm…..blue, or blue?) The two colors are actually navy blue and hunter green (dark, because for some reason black was immediately ruled out) They’ll have a neat little logo of some kind on them....special....

James your spelling of "their" is fucking obnoxious. You have to remember that the I before E rule has other exceptions. The entire there/their/they’re thing is one of them, all of those words start with "the"

Now that I just spent the time to actually write that......

I’m listening to that new Moby song with Gwen Stafani….Southside I think it’s called…..have you actually listened to the lyrics? It seems this is a rather odd song….lines like (here we are now going to the west side, weapons in hand as we start to ride………and it’s love and darkness and my sidearm…) that’s fuckin cool…..not what I expected, but Moby kicks ass anyway, they just got this teacher at Centennial elementary that looks like him, but if I say anything I know he won’t have clue what I’m talking about.

About to order the new carb for my truck….but still debating it....$380 is a lot of money…and I really don’t like fucking around with fuel systems (I like fuel injected vehicles, less room to screw things up)…..so I’m going to sleep on it (again) and see what I think in the morning (it probably will still be "yes" but I’d still better think it over some more, sales are final with that sort of thing once gasoline has touched it)

Now I’ve spent roughly 35 minutes on this (including reading the other posts)....I really do need a hobby....

One of the guys I work with, Gerry Munce, is completely nuts. He’s a big hotrod builder…he has this little S-10 he put a 350 in, which is mildly crazy, kinda fast. But then he gets this nitrous kit (his son-in-law races super comps) used from his son-in-law. He gets it, it’s got 125 horse jets in it…. This is hard to explain to the un-initiated, but the deal is these jets are restrictors that control how much nitrous oxide (nos) and extra gas goes into the engine, and for an engine that size 125 horse is the maximum that you should put in there….too much and when the nos kicks in the engine just simply blows up.
So Gerry leaves the 125 horse jets in…and takes the damn thing out for a few runs…on the road….but the motor still runs, and when he gets those bottles refilled-I don’t even want to think about it….

So anyone runs into a red S-10 with a white tailgate, and the damn thing rumbles, it’s incredibly fast, don’t fuck with it....

Now it’s been 45 minutes...

And I’ve still not said anything....

Now it’s time to talk a little more....

So I’ve exhausted all of my resources, and I still can’t find anywhere that teaches primarily what I need to do what I want. I want performance/racing engine and chassis design/setup education...no race team on earth will even look at you without a degree/experience in such, but I can’t find anywhere to get that degree....and I KNOW that I don’t want to work on computers forever (on even very much longer for that matter, this work sucks, but it’s easy and pays well) I’m kinda pissed off about it too. I’m going to start emailing the guys who own the racing companies to ask for help.

An hour, time for bed.

What exactly have I just said? Anything?

for those of you who are interested, it is a microphone that I just happened to have come by. so uh. yeah. give me lines Jeff, and I shall make .wav files. and i shall be dubb-ed. whee! and this whole tripod thing really sux0rs.

anyone know of any free website hosting places? im itching to make a website and just need the right place to ... well, you know. stick it.

... after those two posts, i almost weep. this is what the board was invented for. created for. born to be. a collaboration of a bunch of idiots who have nothing better with thier time ( DONT FUCKING MESS WITH ME DAMNIT, I WAS TAUGHT "'I' BEFORE 'E' EXCEPT AFTER 'C'" AND THERE IS NO GOD DAMN "C" IN THIER ) and come to the board to relieve thier stresses out on a board that wont make fun of them, bite them in places they don't wish to be bitten, or kick them in the balls.

By the way Jimmoi - Remember when we first ran into that talking paper clip and we asked him if Mr. Beaty had it in for us, or if Mr. Loffer was homosexual and trying to get a piece of James^2 action ... or something along those same lines? Well during one of my again-Intergrated-3 classes I ran into him and he told me a secret that we never figured. You remember the 'final project'? well he told me what we did wrong. We had all the equations right, we just had to put a "=" in front of them. Oh, how silly we were. Like two Microsoft Excel-virgins in a Intergrated Three class that smelled like the stench of loffer-muffins. Ah yes, memories.

On a lighter note - the man with larger breasts than I is Zach. You will find him being one of the newer ones to post on the board. I believe my digital camera ( or it's software ) is broken. this means I will not be able to ( at the moment ) combat Jeffs pictures of his self-pornography .... let me twiddle with some things... hmm...
ook, i think this should do it....

time for a test run, with my trusty-sidekick ( or well, rather, the person I enjoy kicking in the sides ) Michael!

hmmm, looks like i have to download a ftp client. because there is no way in hell that i am going to go and go through the whole "upload some files :D :)" tripod bullshit. ok, well - you'll just have to wait while I download one. hum de hum ( suggested ftp program : LEECH FTP )

in the mean while, i will play destruction derby 2.
something i got from abandonware sites :)

[iDEOLOGiES FOR THE HEARiNG iMPAiRED]

Today is Monday. Hey, don't look at me like that. I'm just making sure some of you out there know that it is in fact Monday, and not some other day. You never really know who out there reading this, like some crazy man stumbling around looking for gay porn or something, and finds this site. He reads my post and realizes that its Monday and he should be at his AA meeting. Ahh, but i digress.

The weekend was interesting. I saw "Dude, Where's my car?" Yeah, that was definitely the type of movie i could see Mr. Miller making. It was actually much better than i originally thought it would be. Hehe, crazy ostriches. I hope i wasn't the only one that noticed that they had the ostrich scene setup like something out of jurassic park, which made it funnier. Of course, it could just be in my head, which would make that scene less funny. It was a bit obvious though, at least to me, that the Rubik's Cube was going to be the interstellar transmogrifier...or whatever the hell they called it. It's cliche. Still though, it wasn't that bad. Hey jimmy, i don't suppose you know who the director was? The film seemed kinda familiar, not in the actual context, but the style. Once again, its probably just me.

I rode the buses as usual. Nothing new to report. I also didn't meet any strange people in other places. I don't know if i wrote about this before, but just in case i didn't, i should quickly refer to the man in the restroom last week. Basically, i was in the restroom, and as i left the stall, i almost hit a guy with the door, so i apologized. He in turn said that's alright. Not weird. Then he started talking about how it was like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. That wasn't the end though. Right in the middle of the restroom, he starts to do the oompaa loompaa dance. The OOMPAA LOOMPAA dance?! I am not making this up either. Lucky me. One day when i have my psych degree, i get to surround myself with these type of people.

A quick question to james...what the hell are you talking about with this being left behind for a man with larger breasts then you? Sorry, just needed some clarification on that one, seeing as how i am out of the loop. Or as james would tamper with my post and write it...out of the loooopeee...something like that.

Yeah. Still working on my movie. It's coming along quite nice. I could still use some voices here and there. HINT HINT!!!! But hey, i'll make due i suppose. I think later this week i'll go out and get a video tape to put the footage onto. Also, for Mr. Miller and Mr. Collins, i will try to include a copy of the Mt. Ranier footage and some of the highlights of the Sharis footage. (If you guys want all of the Sharis stuff, just tell me in advance.) Also, if Mr. Wegener wants the extra stuff, just email me, or whatever. That is if he is even reading this post. I doubt it highly.

That all being said and done, i should go study hard for whatever aspect of psychology i need to study for. Maybe developmental. Who knows. In the meantime, enjoy this feast for the eyes:


Ah, the ever popluar picture of oneself...


Here is my living quarters. That is my roommate using my laptop. Aren't i great with explanations of pictures?


That's heather. James' heather. Or Heather's James' heather. Whatever. I don't think she was happy with me filming her. Sorry heather, if you were upset.

Well, that's it folks. Tomorrow i might post some more mindnumbing, earth-shattering images. But if you are that crazy man stumbling around looking for gay porn, i won't be posting any of that. Sorry.
Nice.

By the way...
I hate you james...you've gotten me to make this my HOME page, for whenever i start the browser.

http://www.thenewstribune.com/frame.asp?/news/top_stories/0205a16.html

click that link ( Jimmoi ) and you'll notice something ... fun.
Pam Kinkela... yup, you guessed it - is our good friend Mr. Kinkela's sister.
pretty smoov eh?

oh. for anyone who has Unreal Tournament - get in contact with me.

that, and I am hoping to amass some large collection of burned multiplayer games - so if anyone wants to help me out. . . .

the plan is to :

1. burn a lot of games
2. send out the copies to friends
3. play them online

any comments / suggestions / ideas / ethical complaints?

The lousy ass Corvettes won the overall at the Rolex 24. Damnit. The Ferrari retired sometime during the night, while I was asleep, as did the Saleen. This sucks, none of the cars that should have won did. But Sebring is the 17th of March, so I won’t have to wait very long to watch them get their comeuppance.

Other than that, there is absolutely nothing happening. I downloaded like 500 meg of mp3s last night.
And now I'm off to get MORE.

a man with larger breasts than I,
and a mutt that nobody has the chance of impregnating.
two cars that have passed me on the international-freeway called life.
and they didn't even use turn signals.
believe-me, I bitched a lot about that.
... to myself, you know, because I was the only one in the car.
in any event. nothing is happening today. just like nothing happened the day before, or the day before that.

-sigh-
ok. im going away now.

Guess what? I get to go and be a mormon with Miss Merry Boat tomorrow. It's going to be so much fun! and also, my mimmie mouse came home from the vet, and she is doing much better-however, she has discovered that, with little effort, she can cry and immediately become the center of attention. Silly puppy.
