If there is any lingering doubt about how to spell Cockran’s name, this reputable source, otherwise known as the Arundel drama website, shall clear it up faster than Chuck Norris can perform an abortion.

Observe:

Here’s something I found on the Politics Forum today:

You’d here: “it’s a shame that one marginal state should decide the fate of US Presidency and to an extent of the world at large“; implying that the election law must be changed. Indeed, it came as a shock to me when G W Bush was re-elected which made me lose trust in the system. When G W was first elected, I thought ok… its ok, you had the Clinton scandal and his fellow man Al Gore naturally would not fare well…but when GW was re-elected…uuuuuuhh…he lied to so many ppl…this mentally deficient person started the war in order to boost his chances of re-election and he succeeded, yet you had Fahrenheit 9/11 and all but didn’t help…

US rural population, religious conservatives, social conservatives, conservative farmers and other segments, other less educated agriculture ppl in middle states like Wyoming voting in large numbers because of larger cummulative populations in the middle of the US lands (as opposed to secular, educated coastline states like NY etc–states both in the east and the west) prompted G W to get re-elected. And the thing is people in NY or Maryland or California would always be better informed, better educated and more open-minded and politically aware, even their Taxi drivers in NYC would always be better than a senior accountant or an agricultural manager in Wyoming or Idaho… That’s how democrats have argued that they will have to work harder to win a larger number of those middle, peasant states voters. I think that’s theoretically possible but thats a long-shot.

A better approach would be to assign numerical values to voters from any given state. For example, each vote cast by a voter from NY state would carry a weigh of 1.2; whereas, Wyoming voters would get a weight of say 0.8. The outcome would be that you value NY voters opinions more than those in say Alabama but that’s the only way I see to help eradicat the deficiencies of the current system that let shameful G W get re-elected. I still remember Bill Clintons word: “the current president[G W], his vice president and myself could have gone to war in Vietnam but didn’t; when it came to John Kerry, he said: send mee!” and yet, many of the voters (obviously Wyoming and Alabama voters, not NY or DC voters) thought that G W would be a better commander-in-chief than John Kerry. The choice seemed so obvious this last time but the US (and you can properly generalize) failed when making this choice. Wyoming and TX voters among other star states chose a former alcoholic and drug addict and obviously a melancholic and self-loving president with deficient mental credentials over a better looking, far more intellectual person with a real-war time experience and poignancy.

So shameful! I can see how DC population feels, 90 percent of all votes went to Kerry and yet GW sleeps in the White House and he appointed Pentagon’s Woulfenson, another deficient person, to the top job at the World Bank. Think further comments are unnecessary. How do you like such a system?

Two knaves, Joe Plum and Steve Winter, are trying to prove that this:

is actually equal to zero, as opposed to -0.5, which it is.

Scores of elite Aaronometrists, however, are trying to discover who is right. If Plum and Winter are correct, then they will no doubt enter the annals of Great Aaronometrists, right next to the greatest Aaronometrist of all time, Testocles, the great Greek philosopher who also dabbled in Aaronometry.

Aaron Dandrea, the second-greatest Aaronometrist of all time, disputes this claim using this:

steve winter and i both corrected aaron, but hes being a huge jew bag and not accepting the fact that some of his aaronometry is wrong. as you can see in this picture:

…the indifferent face is equal to -0.5. but, it should be equal to 0, due to the fact that is is the neutral face, between both the sad and happy face. therefore, it should be exactly inbetween the two, which should be 0.

I missed two days. Oh well. I have been so busy what with school starting this week that I haven’t had the chance to do much writing.

I haven’t really been depressed since August 21; the reasons for that are in the August 21 entry.

Perhaps that has something to do with my actions since my last entry, August 23, which was a Thursday.

On Friday the 24′th, I did in fact formulate my Fall Plan. But if the plan works well, it will be expanded throughout the year. The Fall Plan consists of the following goals:

1. To reach 100 friends on Facebook.

This may sound shallow, but it really isn’t. What it is is the best indicator I have right now to measure friends. Plus, it is probably the easiest goal to attain of all of them, although it will certainly take work.
2. To have a date for homecoming.

This was the original purpose of having a Fall Plan, and why I had been talking to my friend and getting depressed. I have still never been more depressed than on the day when he told me to give up on my number-one choice. True, I will never see her in school, but next time I do see her, I will ask her if she would like a job, and if so if she wanted to work where I do. It’s not just for the company — there’s a $100 referral bonus in it for me if she gets hired! Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
3. To be able to squat 210 pounds on the Bowflex.
4. To be able to bench-press 200 pounds on the Bowflex.

These two goals are personal physical fitness goals. They have to be worked for, but they depend on nobody but myself. This is both a good and bad thing. Good because I have nobody to stop me, and bad because I have nobody to blame for not doing it.
5. To get out more often.

And I spent Tuesday, August 28 working on an extended idea list for this. I will start with a small group of friends going to a movie, then increase the people I will invite, as well as begin to vary the activities. Some ideas for activities came to me: going to the mall, poker night, tennis, Ravens game (December 30 is the Ravens-Steelers game; when the local team plays my favorite team), rapping, school games, and even video games if I ever buy a game system. I asked that friend which one I should get, and he began going on and on. He was really into it. Apparently Dale Carnegie was right once again. I talked to him about his favorite pastime and he got excited.
6. To be able to run one mile in eight minutes.

This is another personal fitness goal, but unlike numbers 3 and 4, this one is to train myself for indoor track season, which starts in November. Meeting people is very easy in track.
7. To work towards:
a. Obtaining the Provisional Drivers License on or before December 3, 2007.

I MUST HAVE MY LICENSE! That way, I can drive myself to and from my dad’s house (the only place I can invite people, seeing as how my mom’s house is a mess) whenever I need to. Many windows of opportunity blow open. In addition, I can get a partial schedule next semester, and have a car in which I can drive myself to work at an earlier hour, so that by the time everyone else is out of school, I will be ready to hang out and there will be no cumbersome work schedule to worry about (on my part anyway).
b. Becoming a decent tennis player.

My only sport proper in my entire high school career is going to be tennis this spring. Once I realized that waiting until the spring to meet people was too late, I decided to also run track (explaining number 6). In order to become a decent tennis player, however, I will have to go to more lessons, and I honestly don’t have time. I am juggling school, work, and a social life (oh yeah homework too) and am becoming rather strained. That’s another reason I am looking forward to a possible partial schedule next semester.

I am going to try and work on a couple of those goals this week. I am going to see if anyone can see a movie this week. I will ask my original group if they would like to see a movie this week, probably either Wednesday, or Thursday night (those are the days I don’t work). From there the expansion will happen.

I complained this summer of being filled with many dreams, but no hopes. Right now I find that I have high levels of both.
