Poopy Fate!

    Interesting - I’ve been working with bacon and alcohol for some time now, but have settled on bourbon
    as the ideal base. A nice maple-smoked, peppered bacon will do glorious things to a smoky, aged bourbon.
    Prep is much the same as for the vodka, although I’ve found two weeks is usually enough for the infusion.

    Shake it with ice, strain into a martini glass rimmed with hickory salt,add a dash of orange bitters, garnish
    with an orange peel and pearl onion, and, voila! - The Bacontini!

Well boys I have some bad news.  Madison has a tumor on her adrenal gland and it’s causing her to secrete steroids that have enlarged her liver 5 fold.  Her arthritis is VERY bad. She can hardly get up the stairs, one step at a time, very painful.  She’s on a n anti-inflammatory and pain pills.  She’s almost 12

I’m inclined not to operate,  It will be very expensive and it will only solve the tumor problem not the arthritis which she is sufferings form every day.

My feeling is to let the tumor go the way that it will go, try to keep her comfortable and the moment I feel she is not having the life she is entitled to, I will put her to sleep.

Once upon a time, in a far away land (the Middle East) there was this conflict between the Arab states and a lil area where they all intersected. In this area there was a very holy city and many Jews and Palestinians.

For a time it was good (or not as bad as it could be). Then there was this huge fucking war and a lot of Jews died. Many who escaped ran to this lil area. As the area got more populated there was a group of people so said that the Jews should have this area as their own country. There were a whole lot of Palestinians who then said “Fuck no! We are living here ktxhbai”. All of the Arab states in this region pretty much agreed with the Palestinian folk. But, one day the Jews said “I’m takin j00r land and calling it my own cause I live here now and it’s mine ok?”.

And well, the Arab states did not say “OK” back. Then there was a lil war and fighting and boom boom and AAAAAHHHHHHH. Then the big UN came in and said “STOP IT NOW YOU LIL SONS OF BITCHES!”. After a time there was an agreement made between the jews and the rest of the folk to stop fighting and lines were created of where there would be no fighting (AKA a fucking armistice). All of this was facilitated by this guy Ralph Bunche.

This lil tiff formed what we now know as the state of Israel. This guy Bunche won the Nobel Peace Prize for getting the countries to sign the armistice. It turns out that later it was just a big headache and was not all that great after all.

Also once upon a time in a far away land (I don’t know where the fuck where), there was the creation of the shower. The shower is a wonderful device that allows warm water to stream from the sky over you. This does several wonderful things. First it gets you clean. It also has this amazing property of making you feel a whole lot better when you are sick and stuffy with the nose and the dripping and the snot and gooey and pressure stuffs.

            It is my opinion that the creation of the shower has made a much larger impact to the overall peace and sanity of the world than that fuckin crappy armistice agreement. Therefore the dude who invented the shower should get a Nobel Peace Prize.

The End.

I am looking for some more bands to listen to. Here is what I have had on my playlist recently:
The Decemberists
The Servent
Muse
Frou Frou
The Fiery Furnaces

Do you guys have any band suggestions?

I have not posted in a while and I am not seeing many of you for several months so I figured an update was in order.

Hokai, So. This summer I am working at a specialty stainless steel manufacturer called Allegheny Ludlum (pretty much a glorified steel mill). It is an interesting experience. I am definitely getting a big taste of the industry business side of things. I am doing a bit of material science work but I am also doing a bunch of optimization and leg work. I guess this is to expected if this is your first internship. I am not sure how much I like the idea of going into industry anymore. Everything is so money driven, especially at this place where they have a limited product line. It may be interesting working at one of the other plants where they make more specialty materials. That way I would be able to branch and explore what ever the hell I want. Even so, it is a fun experience and well worth the time and pay.

Life is grand. I just bought a bed today, it should arrive some time on Tuesday. This means I need to take apart the POS fold out couch.

Story time:

            So this house came with a few things already in it. It came with a full glass set, a few odds and ends in the
            basement, and a furnished third floor entertainment room. I am currently living in that third floor entertainment
            room. It seems that there was some remodeling done on the stairs to get to the third floor, this was apparently
            all done while the furniture was in the room. SOOO it seems that the couch in my room is too large to fit down
            the stairs and must be taken apart.

Social things are pretty good. I have not been seeing enough of people this summer though. If you guys want to hang out or come over and eat food I make, I am usually free after 5:30 or so. I have mostly been hanging out with pfriedma a lot, and he is a poo-head-stinky-face. I met a boy , it is good.

Upcoming events:
Vacation to Hawaii on the 27^th – 5^th
Visiting my dad and his girlfriend near boston on the 7^th
The next Harry Potter movie comes out on the 11^th
Birthday on the 18^th (probably gonna do something on the 20^th?)
The last Harry Potter book comes out on the 21^st

I have been reading a few books by Murakami. I really like his writing, it paints a very interesting picture of modern Japan while telling a fucked up trippy story. My dad gave me a few books by Gene Wolfe, I may read those next.

What are others up to this summer?
