My final day of high school is tomorrow, and it's about freaking time! I mean, nothing is more horrible than the public school system. But anyway, I shall do a few things this summer. I'm gonna work my butt off at Ron's Restaurant as head cook, then schedule some time off to go to the Jafax convention with my g/f in Grand Rapids, MI, then go to the Bela Fleck and the Flecktones concert, and possibly canoe an entire river again with my best friend. So there ya go. As if you cared. :(

Heh. Small world. I live in Michigan and the economy is basically a big salty steamy bucket of crap over here, and over in Houghton Lake Community Schools we used to have this thing called a budget. Now what happens is this in my state: The schools get a certain amount of money for each student who comes to our school, so therefore, we have a good sized budget. But unfortunatly, the School Board at my town is filled to the brim with a bunch of idiots. You'd think that if you had a budget each year that you would not spend over the budget, right? Well, that's exactly what they did. We have no more freakin money. At all. None. Now, the schools have to cut a whole bunch of classes, teachers, extra curricular clubs, and (most importantly) sports. And because they're cutting sports, students are moving to different school districts. Therefore, reducing the amount of money that the school recieves. Fortunatly, I am a senior and graduating this year, so I don't have to worry about it too much. It still kinda bothers me that someone could spend more than a set amount of money when they are completely aware of the consequences. ugh.

[quote name='Sesshomarufan']wow there is some heavy talk in this room. have you guys ever seen or been "sports discrimination", when refs screw you out of something that you know something you know youve won. for me it is not about racism or anything. mostly it is because i am from a different state man. it ticks me off big time. one time a wrestling ref counted points for the wrong guy. my coach was watching and i looked at him after the match. the coach asked the ref why they awarded him points. he said it was because that the other guy had control WHEN HE OBVIOUSLY DIDNT. i might be a little biast, but i know when i score and when i dont. it just like a six sense of mine.[/quote] I'm a wrestler and my team saw that crap all the time. I guess discrimination can come in all forms: race, what team you play on, what clique you're in, etc. But yeah, I've seen refs make bad calls all the time. Unfortunatly, they cannot be questioned or you lose a team point. My coach makes you sit out for your next match for that, whether you suck or you're the best freaking wrestler ever. Well, whatever. I don't think it is as harmful as racial discrimination, but sports discrimnation is abundant as well.

Hey, there are plenty of games directed to girls! Just check out all those awesome Barbie games or those Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen games. I'm sure that those games are designed for girls. But seriously, My girlfriend plays DDR all the freaking time with me. She loves it, and it provides a good workout. I would also recommend Animal Crossing and FFX-2. Those games are extremely cute and girly. I would be embarrassed if I was caught playing them. Good games, though.

Have you guys heard of Guerilla War for the NES? Holy crap that game was awesome! It's a top down shooter and you could never lose because it gives you infinite continues. Secret of Mana is also a great co-op game. It probably had some sort of influence on FFCC...whateva.

That's kinda funny that you actually read the thread, then. Have I ticked you off that much that you had to reply in a sarcastic way that hurts peoples feelings? I am confused why you even posted if you don't like the thread this much. I was just wondering if people were in the same boat as me, and you turned it around as me tooting my horn, as you put. T_T Aparently, people do care about what I have to say if I have a thread that's three pages long. It's surprising that I can evoke such emotions out of people.

Not to be a jerk, but that sounds rediculously cliché and like Inuyasha. You've got a young demon, a klutzy girl, seeds that make people insane (kinda like the shards in Inuyasha), and the boy has ears. But it might make money since it is cliché.

I beat the internet. The end guy is hard. - anon. My brother said this once, "Hell is probably just two casinos named the Fire and Brimstone with Sigfried and Roy playing at BOTH of them." I love the quote by callmegoddess04. Apparently, it isn't easy.

I recommend the Battle Angel Alita series and Battle Angel Alita: Lost Order. They are about this cyborg named Alita and her travels as she unravels the mysteries of her past from Mars. It's a good read if you are into theoretical-science-y stuff and tons of action. Oh, the manga also has the best sport ever: MOTORBALL!! That's all I'll give you about that. The original series is 8 mangas long, and I don't really know how long Lost Order is. But I recommend it, dang it!

Hi, everybody! [SIZE=1](hi doctor nick!)[/SIZE] I was just wondering if anybody had any future plans for a more lengthy education. College? Community college? Trade school? Institute of cosmotology? I wanna know! Me? I'm going to Michigan Tech. University to study Civil Engineering just like that Hung guy on American Idol. I will also get a minor in art. Hopefully have my own consulting business someday...then open up an arcade...then make a manga of my own... TELL ME YO' PLANS!

This is like arguing to a wall. This issue will always be devided and will never be solved, and I'm here to make a point. We, as humans, will find other ways to kill ourselves if guns are banned. Whether you like it or not, we are a sadistic race. Tower of London? WW2? BSDM? Asphixiation-Erotica? Methods of torture (we're the only species on the planet that has ever tortured another one of it's kind, btw)? We are a sick bunch of people. Did you know that stairs kill over 1000 people each year? Do you think that we should ban stairs? Should we ban cars because they kill people too? What about airplanes? Or toasters? What about 5 gallon buckets that those babies drown in every year? Or how about we ban going outside because sunlight causes skin cancer? It won't help if we ban guns. Just look what happened when they banned alcohol. Anyway, what I'm saying is that we're all gonna die of something, and you liberal douches are just whining about it. If you're smart, you'll stay away from guns so you won't die of 'em. Plain and simple.

Well, I have never had an LDR before, but from what I can tell you about relationships is that you need to ask yourself these questions: 1. Does she enjoy doing things that you like to do? 2. Does she laugh at the same things that you do? 3. Do you get all tingly after you go home from her house and just start smiling for no reason? 4. Does she have little quirks about her that you just don't care about? (i.e. religion, family, economic situation, she won't let you do it, etc.) I've been with my girlfriend for over a year, and my feelings have not faded one bit since the day I met her. She's a Baptist, and because of that she's definately not having sex with me, even though I'm a horny bastard. But I don't give a fuh. I get that tingly feeling all the time though, and I think that's what love is. If I am wrong, well, I don't wanna be right!

I live in a white bread community with about 3 black people, 5 Latinos, and the only Asians we have are from different countries. Do we descriminate? No. Everybody treats everybody equally, but that's prolly cause everyone's a whitey. I myself have blonde hair and blue eyes, and being of the race that Hitler once believed in, I do get comments about that. But it's all in good humor. I mean, there's jokes about other races, and then there's bigotry. One of my best friends is a Latino and he jokes about himself stealing hubcaps all the time. It's funny! That's how minority comedians get their start! They talk about who's different. And if you can't laugh, then you have something stuck up your ***. Probably a gerbil.

Well, one time in my programming class, this chick said that there was soap all over the bathroom floor and she said she had soapy shoes. There ya go.

I most certainly haven't! Does he run around with no pants?
