Thanks to Arnold, the students are protesting today about the bubdget cuts. I have mixed emotions. I protested a lot when I was in undergrad. I got a ban and bar letter from Seneca Army Depot for jumping the fence on World Food Day in order to deliver a bill for misappropriation of funds to the base commander. We didn't get that far ( Read more... )

Sometimes I forget how wonerful it is to live here in SF. I get caught up with the shit of day-to-day life in a big city and I get pissed at the people, places and things that get in my way of achieving what I want to do. Then I walk down the street and see a giant fuzzy racoon head, with cute little fuzzy ears pushing a shopping cart full of ( Read more... )

This weekend was the worst weekend of my life so far. I had a little bit of a nervous breakdown this weekend. I happened to have eaten a 'magic' brownie and then started to spin out of control. My normal Vulcan type control over my emotions broke down and I started projecting outward all of the evil shit that usual sits dormant in my system. ( Read more... )

I'm in the worst class of my entire academic career since I lived on the planet. That's a powerful statement. It's called Information Systems 782. I want this man dead.

" 'Your essence is their essence.' Which, taken to its penultimate, is one and the same. Ultimately ( Read more... )

Ok, as I was walking to the BART station to catch a flight to Minneapolis, MN (GOD knows why I would want to go to such a cold part of the country, oh yeah they're paying me), I see the following in the street: cigaret butts, plastic bags, paper, and cut cooked broccoli! What's up with the broccoli?! Ok can I take an informal poll. Please email ( Read more... )

Ok I thought I was going through American re-adjustment fine. Bigger cars, bigger roads to handle the bigger cars, bigger food. Shittier food but bigger. More TV stations, radio stations, choices, choices, choices. But the one thing I keep trying to do is SLOW the FUCK DOWN! FUCK, this culture is way to up tight fast pace shit! I'm even in SF ( Read more... )

Well the final chapter of FJ’s French adventure has drawn to a close. I am now in New York City at my mother’s place and will soon be traveling back to San Francisco and starting school again on January 28th ( Read more... )

So about a week ago I was asked by my friend Yann to take a road trip but it would include cutting Friday’s class because we were to leave Thursday night. I thought about it for about half a second and said YES! College kid road trip adventure, this is why I’m in France.
