Junk D. August 26th two thousand and nine
Dear Everyone,
Did you miss me? I miss my blazersedge.
How has your summer been? Have you vacay'd anywhere?
I went camping twice, which is a lot for me. Can't say i'll go camping anytime soon.
What is your favorite football team? I'm a Raiders fan. Before you get all indignant , remember, it's quite painful these days to be a Raiders fan.
Do you watch baseball? What is your favorite baseball team?
Have a great week!
<3 Always

Sophia, why are you a Raiders fan?
There is more to an athlete than how fast they can run, they also better be able to see what they are doing and know why they are doing it.

Is it because European sponsors are the only companies making clothes for cyclists? If so, then there has gotta be a niche market for American companies to explore.
Pettibon did a bunch of Black Flag cover art. Pushead was the Zorlac skateboard artist.

i was racing with my brother on mt tabor . he made me crash i flipped over the bars and smashed my head. with no helmet, i was too bad as to wear one. we hurried back to my parents to fix my bleeding head, it wasnt bad but looked really bad to us. the about an hour later we went to look for the bike. most likely it was jacked.

Helmets are your friend...
I was totally sold when I saw a cyclist aparently dead on a Orange County, LA freeway on ramp with a head that looked like a dropped watermelon. Cops were already there and all, but NOBODY was near the guy, crowd just standing at a distance, very sobering. There was a young lady standing nearby looking distressed and a car pulled over. My guess is he was crossing the ramp entry and she was entering the ramp without seeing him till too late. Of course, LA is a living hell for cycling, well, all transportation generally.
Gloves are handy too. You are going to put your hands out to save your face. Heard another story on that topic.

Not yet, but Marca and AS both report the offer (+/- 200k). And Joventut seemed very willing to move Ricky if they get a better buyout offer, and wasn’t happy when he said he wanted to return next season if they couldn’t move him (they have already acquired 2 new point guards).

And my middle school math teacher was adamant about use of the word “and” when writing out numbers. “And” represents the decimal point, so two thousand and 9 equals 2000.9. Two thousand nine is 2009.

Ti85s were all the rage when I was a kid. There was an illicit game where you played as a pimp/drug dealer and tried not to get killed that only worked on the 85. It got me through AP Calculus. Yes, all the rich kids had their Ti86s, but none of them were selling a digital OZ while everyone else was working on their distillation labs.

Summer's Almost Gone...
I think my summer was over before it even started. I didn’t vacation anywhere; I left town maybe twice.
I’m a bears fan. I watch every sunday at claudias with a group of older guys, all from chicago. It’s a little more like a tribal gathering where we discuss all kinds of topics in the setting of our love for football. If the bears in their game, we sing the fight song to the bar. Last year only two of us were watching one of the late games… we still sang even though I felt like an idiot.

It was down my list though (I wanted to get out of montana). The journalism school is really good and I would have most likely followed that avenue. My number two school was Reed. But, I only applied to one college. I was accepted in early december, and called everything else good. I didn’t worry about any of my other applications, and pretty much phoned in the rest of my high school career. I ended up going to a crazy place, unique compared to all other college educations: www.sjca.edu

My buddy that I hang with here (who I happened to go to high school with) was in the business school at UM. I’ve only been in MT for about 3 weeks since I left for college (2001). I certainly miss parts of it, but it’s not really a fiscally sound destination for me. I’m at the age, where my friends are starting to become “forward-thinking, getting hitched, and stop drinking”.

It’s very Spartan. There are no TV’s on campus, or any real student union areas. You eat, breath, and dream the great books. Everything in my life shifted. When I graduated and returned to “society” I realized I was an alien. There are some really great parts though. It’s just different, I guess. I tell my friends now, back in college, we used to go to the bars, get drunk and take turns reciting poetry around the bar table. This would go on for over an hour. We’d close the bar down in our rhyme; and sing polyphonic songs as we stumbled back to campus. Now, my friends here try to get me drunk just to see what kinds of crazy things i’ll say. I don’t sing anymore though no matter how drunk i get.

Oh, last summer, after a long bbq, I started getting all fired up about francis bacon and the shifts towards modern science.

No way. Do you know how much Aquinas’s Suma Thelogica costs? Due to publishing rights, I think it’s close to 200 dollars. And you only need it for a couple weeks. Newtons Principia is only published in one place these days. It’s like 80 bucks. It all adds up. I got smart after my first semester though, and would just check everything out at the library the first days of the semester…

Yes you can take notes on the Kindle. There is even a “the dog ate my homework”-lawsuit where a student sued Amazon after they had to delete a copy of a book that was published illegally and he claimed that killed his notes. http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/43464/118/
Sony also has an eReader, don’t know which features it has. The main appeal of the Kindle is the amount of books and the free online loading service. Those devices are here to stay.
The “iReader” is just the long-rumored tablet screen that Apple is allegedly launching this fall. Any day now. Or – sometime.

I am not sure how much money students can save
I doubt publishers will be willing to drop the price too much. The precedence of high prices has already been set, and students are forced to pay. Cutting out the costs of publishing an actual book only increases their margin.

Camping is cool....
We’ve only been once this summer, but have a full week of it planned for late September. Kids are in school, the weather is almost always perfect them, and the bugs are on the decline. Car camping in a tent on a secluded alpine lake.

The fishing is good, and the hiking is even better. Now that’s a little bit of heaven.

We usually stick to areas around Mt. Adams....
just because there are fewer people. When we go camping, we like to be around as few people as possible.
But I have heard some great things about Mirror Lake in the past……
The Forest Service shouldn’t mind if you camp in areas other than official campgrounds. For many years they advocated dispersed camping practices….as long as you follow a “leave no trace” ethic and don’t have a camp fire if there is a burn ban in effect (or within 100 feet of water).

Smog—not my cup of tea
are we going bare knuckle on this, or are we going to do fist wraps dipped in glass? It may seem like a minor detail, but I need to know.
On a side note, I mainly listened to Elliott Smith when I was in a long standing funk. I dont listen to anything he did on a regular basis currently, so I am not the definitive source on Mr Smith.

Eh, the heatmiser comment doesn’t really bother me. I like Quasi a lot, too.
I like Smog because he sounds just like Middle-aged Lou Reed. And if you mention that to someone who really likes Smog, they flip out.
As for the fight, I wish we could set out fists on fire somehow…hmm…call me a dreamer, but what do you think?

Chicago, I think is #49…
This, I think is the logic behind BOB:
But really, do we have any other choice? “B.O.B.” is not just the song of the decade— it is the decade. Appropriately, the contemporary hip-hop act most in tune with the Afro-Futurist philosophies of Sun Ra, George Clinton, and Afrika Bambaataa, wound up effectively crafting a fast-forwarded highlight-reel prophecy of what the next 10 years held in store. The title— aka “Bombs Over Baghdad”, a phrase that sounded oddly anachronistic in 2000, sadly ubiquitous two and a half years later— is only the start of it. In “B.O.B”’s booty-bass blitzkrieg, we hear an obliteration of the boundaries separating hip-hop, metal, and electro, setting the stage for a decade of dance/rock crossovers.
I don’t think I realize the potential to be celebrated as a prophet. Over the next few weeks, I should predict every NBA team as becoming the champion in the following season. Looking back we can then reap my brilliant foresight.

I think contemporary music culture is shifting towards a celebration of dance music along the lines of the disco era. Looking at the top 20 and especially with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and animal collective as high as they are, I suspect in all seriousness all hipsters really want to do, is DANCE!

If you need to dance, you listen to Kurtis Blow. That’s what he was invented for.
Although I have a hard time imagining people dancing to “Maps,” you make a valid point. My thought is that music just isn’t any good anymore and what are all these kids doing on my lawn? What do they think the sidewalk is for?

The age in which people can withdraw Social Security needs to be raised, though, and not just to 70, but rather 75. So long as people save accordingly, they can sustaint themselves through early retirement with funds they’ve built up in their accounts over time.

thats a tough one
whether someone agrees or disagrees with you, i think you should take into account that most people in retirement or nearing retirement now are from a different generation that thought that the govt and their company would take care of them through social security and employer paid pensions. long gone are those days. so while i agree that people should be responsible for their own retirement, doing so to those people now would be a little deceitful. plus…i’d hate to screw the generation who has gone through the great depression and now this one.
