Fantabulicious idea

I've got it. The idea to end all ideas. We did some stuff on the Vatican in Art History today, and me and Cam got the idea that streaking the Vatican would be "one of those things" you would never forget...a real landmark in one's life. I did some research on it and heres what i stumbled accross.

"...Another person who'd like some christmas cards and books to cheer him up.Stuart Durkin has served 5 years of a 13 year sentence in a Italian prisonfor streaking through the Vatican naked! He is in his cell 20 hours a daywith nothing to do - write to him at II A-9 Casa Circondariale MammaGialla, Via S Salvatore 141B, KM 1800 Cap, 01100 Viterbo, Italy"

I found it in a buisness journal. Good thing he did it first or one day I could be in his shoes...er...shackles. Send him some cards people! I plan to learn from his mistake and do some planning if i ever attempt this. I wonder if it could be a fundraiser?
I guess its just another dream for the future. Mail the guy if you can, he seems like quite a fellow.

too much work to do

I think there's peace in knowing how much further we have to go. Not having anything left to strive for would make life...pointless. Its just another gift from God I guess. I try to picture how it would be if I was "good enough", to be satisfactory in Gods eyes. There would be no-where else to go...Nothing else to accomplish before I die. Scary thought. Im glad there's alwasy that constant set of goals to hit. I know I have a long way to go still, and I'm glad I'll never run out.

Explosive # 2

Well this one was the same sort of idea, but with 2 cans instead on only one, and stuck inside an old computer moniter Brander kindly donated. After lighting we stuck an old VCR on top and took off. The cans were both almost full so the fireball was a lot bigger, and pieces of flaming computer went over out heads. Thats almost 200 feet! It was quite spectacular, especially cool because mum heard it from our house, almost 2 km away with a mountain in the way.
Hopefully this weekend we can head up to Stave and try out something bigger on one of the old car hulks up on the flats.

pyrotechnics

Blew something up today, it was pretty sweet. C02 cartridge taped to a can of aerosol(I think it was scotch gard). Anyways, 200 fet away i could fe lthe pressure off the thing, and the explosion lit up the entire field at the abby. It was huuuuuuge.....if you stuck it in a dumpster it would rip the thing apart. I love it when things blow up liek that : )

help!

I need a ride to......I dont know yet. Anywhere but here. Somewhere sunny, mountainy, with friendly people and places to swim. A liscence and a car with a sterio and good leg/trunk room is all that's required on your part.

I cant take it anymore..today was the day that made me snap. I try so hard to keep it in but I cant.Even the 2 week break didnt slow it down. Im going insane. I cant handle another week of school. Im trying to stay positive and attentive in class, but im losing the battle. Everytime my ass hits that uncomfortable chair/desk combo, a little piece of me just dies...well not so much dies as wanders off to do something constructive. I cant find any purpose for my life in that place. Even the will to survive is gone.
Im done. Reality, you win. There's nothing left for you to abuse. Just pin my defeated spirit on the board and make me take notes on it. I was wrong to ever think I could beat you.

Bananas

We overlook a lot of little sums in life that dont add up.
As we worry about the pot issue....we forget that a drug can be made out of bananas. Now , think. Why is the thought of a banana drug less threatening than than the grow-op down the street? I dont know iether. Both drugs can be manufactured in your own home, in fact the bananas only require an oven and a cookie sheet while pot requires a bit more equipment. As I've been told, they are almost the same in the way they make you feel. The detrimental effects on the body are also almost the same. At least marijuanna plants make a strong material we can make stuff out of. Now, why is pot worse than a banana? Im niether cheech, chong, or donkey kong, but from a neutral standpoint I beleive its nonsense. A readily available drug is available to anyone of us at the grocery store but that doesn't bug us half as much as watching a grow-op get busted across the street. We need perspective. If we start to question why something bother's us or why something is called a problem, maybe we'll realize that life has a lot of stuff that doesnt add up. So, next time you buy a banana, get disturbed. Its no different than buying a plant...but we can still tell ourselves "its not the same".
