PureEvilch [8:05 PM]: it is there

Friscops2 [8:05 PM]: over what

Friscops2 [8:05 PM]: or so u say

PureEvilch [8:06 PM]: about the sparks

PureEvilch [8:06 PM]: they can be there

PureEvilch [8:06 PM]: u dont go out looking

Friscops2 [8:06 PM]: or do u fool urself into believing it is there

PureEvilch [8:06 PM]: it just falls onto ur laps

PureEvilch [8:06 PM]: like when u least expect it

Friscops2 [8:07 PM]: maybe u have been alone so long that u want sparks SO much, that u begin making them up

Friscops2 [8:07 PM]: have u ever thought about that

Friscops2 [8:07 PM]: confusing infatuation with love

Friscops2 [8:08 PM]: you want to experience love so badly, that u consider any feeling love

PureEvilch [8:08 PM]: yeahmaybe

PureEvilch [8:08 PM]: u want something so bad

PureEvilch [8:08 PM]: u make it happen

Friscops2 [8:09 PM]: but u really don't love the person, u love the idea that u had the chance to "experience" love

Friscops2 [8:09 PM]: u r in love with the idea of love

PureEvilch [8:09 PM]: yeah that is true

PureEvilch [8:09 PM]: totally true

PureEvilch [8:10 PM]: soemtiems i scare myself into thinking htat

Friscops2 [8:10 PM]: and so i ask, is there really true love?

Friscops2 [8:11 PM]: do any of us really get the opportunity to experience it

Friscops2 [8:11 PM]: or do we all eventually just fall for the CONCEPT of love

PureEvilch [8:11 PM]: stop @!!!!

PureEvilch [8:11 PM]: just enjoy what comes

Friscops2 [8:11 PM]: refusing to acknowledge the fact that we don't really love the person we are with with all our heart and soul

Friscops2 [8:12 PM]: lol, making u think too much, now am i

PureEvilch [8:12 PM]: yes u r

Friscops2 [8:12 PM]: i will enjoy what comes, but i am no longer looking for it

PureEvilch [8:13 PM]: i told u not to look

PureEvilch [8:13 PM]: it falls into ur hands

Friscops2 [8:13 PM]: there is no point waiting for the one, when u can never be sure that they are really the one

Friscops2 [8:13 PM]: oh, but does it

Friscops2 [8:13 PM]: or is "falling in ur lap" just giving up

Friscops2 [8:14 PM]: believing u have found that special person, when u have in fact finally cracked, refusing to wait any longer

Friscops2 [8:14 PM]: "i want to be with someone so much, therefore i will fall in love with u"

Friscops2 [8:15 PM]: that is not "falling in ur lap" that is changing ur perception on love

PureEvilch [8:21 PM]: no no no

PureEvilch [8:21 PM]: i mean

PureEvilch [8:21 PM]: when u meet that person for the first time

PureEvilch [8:21 PM]: its the little thing

PureEvilch [8:21 PM]: that just strikes up that feeling

Friscops2 [8:22 PM]: or is it that u have finally just given up

Friscops2 [8:22 PM]: and are tired of waiting

Friscops2 [8:22 PM]: so u lie to urself

Friscops2 [8:22 PM]: make urself believe that u r truly in love with them

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: maybe

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: but i mean

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: i don't feel like i have that now

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: i mean

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: so what i have bf

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: i dont think he is the one one

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: like i think i know who could be

PureEvilch [8:23 PM]: but yeah

Friscops2 [8:26 PM]: so u r keeping urself occupied til u find the "right" person

PureEvilch [8:28 PM]: me?

PureEvilch [8:28 PM]: u go with the moment

PureEvilch [8:28 PM]: right now

PureEvilch [8:30 PM]: i see sparks

PureEvilch [8:30 PM]: but not like im gonna marry this guy

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: what!

Friscops2 [8:31 PM]: u don't see it, then don't go for it

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: no

Friscops2 [8:31 PM]: LOL!

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: no no no

Friscops2 [8:31 PM]: lol, "super bad," but that is pretty much the general concept, the big picture

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: that is why u experience

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: no

Friscops2 [8:31 PM]: why do u need to experience when u believe in sparks

PureEvilch [8:31 PM]: i mean u can't expect to marry only the first person u go out with

Friscops2 [8:32 PM]: u don't need to experience anything, either the sparks are there or they aren't

PureEvilch [8:32 PM]: b/c its what u r feeling at the moment

Friscops2 [8:32 PM]: but u don't feel like he is the one at the moment

PureEvilch [8:33 PM]: not the one one

PureEvilch [8:33 PM]: but for now

Friscops2 [8:33 PM]: and so u wait it out, u don't find that special person, u break, and u see in james what u want to see in someone

PureEvilch [8:33 PM]: i mean im not in love with him

PureEvilch [8:33 PM]: i wanna be with him

Friscops2 [8:33 PM]: and then u call HIM the one

Friscops2 [8:37 PM]: lol, i am going to blog this

PureEvilch [8:38 PM]: ok

Interesting stuff:

"There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn't expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me,there are some love that don't go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky to end up with that somebody who has a little of that insanity. Somebody who never lets go. Somebody who cherishes you forever."

Two Pronged Blog

But first of all, MY LIFE, not a prong, but just as cool.

I have currently been cutting calc class A LOT, doom you chris! But still am quite capable of pulling off an A =P I am also catching up to pat in benching, only five or ten pounds to go. WHAHAHAHAH! Returning back to my "former glory" I am indeed. My attempts to lose weight are working, I now weigh 143 pounds, who knew that a diet consisting of scooby-doo snacks, nutri-grain mini bits, and tofu would actually work? Beats the hell out of me too. I am still working at targe, finally got my raise but am still waiting for my super cool target pin. Life isn’t great, but I can’t complain. I DID get xenosaga today though, nice.

In other news: Chris drinks WAY too much orange juice, scored 175 pins less then me in bowling, and is flunking physics. Jeff is now a scrub again (very funny story), still wears bowling shirts, has become a writer, and is now known as "rat boy". I have a fan club (another funny story) and stay at ccsf WAY too long. Clinton is not dead, bowls very well, according to my sources, and is actually going to class again. Wei is dead, or so I assume, seeing as I haven’t seen him for the past 4 months, nothing more. Rob works at radio shack, hasn’t picked up his shirt, and loves trance. Hansen is covered in Allen’s spit (yet another funny story), goes to the gym but doesn't workout, and is still very weird. Allen eats foil balls, runs his head into things, is getting stronger, and is going to HELL ~ "I didn’t know the sandwich would kill him." Rejas is bald. Pat is buff and bulky, but does not look as DAMN good as me, thinks gas is way too expensive, and refuses to go to chinatown. Gordon appears here and there. Rage still hits on anything that moves, bowls quite well, and loves eating at in-and-out. Tiffany disappeared.... Jolene does not update her blog. Nikki has integrated herself into the swx life. Bruce may get out of csm in 2 years, is still mah BOY, and sucks at calc. Calvin is never letting me into his house again. Edward is signing me in in calc, goes on aim now, and is too worried about school. Henry isn’t stabbed yet.

P.S. - I am going bowling tomorrow! Feel free to join me, pat, chris, gordon, rage, bruce, and possibly others, if you are going to be in the general vicinity of Serra Bowl at 3:30 – 4:00 tomorrow. Plan on watching Cradle 2 the grave afterwards, at least I do o_O

Prong numero uno:

Ignorance Is Bliss

"No war with IRAQ!" I watch as hundreds and hundreds of men, women, and teenagers adamantly protest the possibility of war. Dozens of posters advocating their "just" cause, decorate every building; banners depicting President Bush as a "war monger," parade through the air. Hastily, I change the channel; yet still can’t help but take notice to how convenient it must be, when fighting for such a cause, to be so ignorant to the issues at hand. How being totally unaware about a subject must make it that much easier for someone to vehemently stand up against it.

The facts:

Saddam Hussein was born on April 28, 1937 in Tikrit, Iraq; living in Auja for most of his youth. At the age of nineteen he joined the socialist Baath party, and three years later, participated in the assassination attempt of Iraqi Prime Minister Abudul Karim Kassim. Shot in the leg, Saddam Hussein fled to Syria, and later Egypt. In 1968, under General Ahmed Hassan Bakr, the Baath party rose to power. Receiving the position of vice president, Saddam quickly began laying down the foundation onto which he would ultimately build his future upon. Eleven years after the revolution, which had brought the Baath party to power, Saddam "replaced" Bakr as leader of Iraq.

In 1980 Saddam invaded Iran. After eight years of continuous fighting, the war ended, millions dead and no victor ever being proclaimed. In 1990, claiming it to be Iraq’s 19^th province, Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, which, after he repeatedly refused to abide by UN orders and retreat from Kuwait, sparked the Persian Gulf War. The United States, being the main participant in the war against Iraq.

The Gulf War lasted a total of six weeks, and left Iraq in utter ruins. During this war, the US deliberately bombed targets they thought would affect "population will." Targets which were associated with electricity, water, and sanitation, structures that, when destroyed, would disintegrate the will of the Iraqi people.

After the war, four of the countries five hydroelectric facilities laid in ruins, and services such as water purification and distribution, sewage removal, treatment operation hospitals and medical laboratories, and agricultural production centers were left inoperable.

Raymond Naimy, an official of the UN children’s Fund, reported that the water supply in Baghdad, immediately following the Persian Gulf War, had been cut by ninety to ninety-five percent. Also, a Harvard medical team revealed that the death rate of children under the age of five, living in Iraq, had tripled.

As punishment for Saddam’s actions, the UN, pressured by the US, placed numerous sanctions on Iraq; including a limit on how much oil could be sold yearly, 1.6 billions worth. They also stipulated that all profits attained from these sales could only be spent on buying humanitarian supplies for Iraq, compensating Kuwait for war damages, and reimbursing U.N.S.C.O.M. for its costs.

And now to my actual point: Saddam Hussein is a crazy totalitarian who needs to be dealt with anyway possible. Ad Hominem Argument at its finest.

A statement commonly used by antiwar protestors and Iraqi sympathizers is that the sanctions placed on Iraq by the UN are not hurting Saddam Hussein, but rather the Iraqi people. That these sanctions are greatly hindering the speed at which new water sanitation factories, electric generators, and other essential buildings can be built, by significantly limiting the amount of money that is flowing into Iraq. This is partly true. It was clearly stated by the UN that ALL profits attained from oil sales were supposed to be used to help better the lives of the Iraqi citizens; spent on repairing the completely devastated Iraqi infrastructure. Saddam has CHOSEN not to adhere to this. Instead, he has decided to use the money to help fund his weapon development programs and in ensuring his dominance over Iraq. Since 1991, Saddam has rebuilt his ENTIRE army, yet still hasn’t been able to repair the numerous problems affecting his people. Easing sanctions will not guarantee the improved lives of the Iraqi people; though, it will help in increasing the amount of biological weapons that are available to Saddam. He has not felt the need to help his people before, why should he feel inclined to now?

Do not get me wrong, I am in no way condoning President Bush’s motives for going to war. For all I know, maybe he only wants to finish up what his father started, or is just after the monumental amount of "black gold" residing within Iraq. Maybe he IS a "war monger" looking to make a name for himself, or possibly just an absolute idiot (forty percent plus forty percent plus forty percent is still a mathematical impossibility). I don’t know his reasons, nor do I ever need to know them, they are irrelevant. Also, WE were the ones who put Iraq in crap hole it is in right now. But the fact still remains, Saddam Hussein is a plague on his people. As long as he remains in power, thousands upon thousands of Iraqi citizens will continue to needlessly die from starvation and malnutrition, not to mention, from his massive paranoia.

Why should we risk our butts to save those of others though? Who is President Bush to think that it is his, and Americas, job to "police" the world? These are both very good questions. It is just the "humane" thing to do. NOBODY deserves to live in such conditions, to have to drink sewage water, search for scraps of food, and live in constant fear of what "all mighty" Saddam might do next. Yes, many lives will be lost if the US decides to go to war, many of them being American, but countless more lives will be saved in the long run. If drafted, I would go to war.

Move to Iraq, have your freedoms get taken away from you, watch as your friends and family die before your eyes, and THEN protest the war. It is easy to stand up for something you know absolutely nothing about. Live life in their shoes.

I am no fan of war, but know that at times it is the only option.

Prong numero dos:

From The Very First Moment

Love at first sight, I do not believe in it. In my opinion, someone’s love and affection should be an emotion that you have won over, sincerely earned and deserve. Your heart should not be something that is so easily handed over. How can you truly love someone you have just meet? I do believe however, that after awhile (a few months, weeks, or days even) you can come to the realization that the person you are with is the very same person you want to spend the rest of your life with. But I do not believe that you can feel this why towards someone you have just laid your eyes upon.

Jessica Alba is hot, Eliza Dushku is hot, and Kristin Kreuk is REALLY hot. But do I love any of them? Not the slightest bit. I need to know more about a person before I can fall madly in love with them; I need to know about their personality and what their views on life are. I am incapable of falling in love with someone the second I notice them.

"I am not a shallow person, but I believe in love at first sight." Umm, ok, how is that working out for you? Isn’t love at first sight, at its core, solely based on looks? You haven’t talked to the person, so you can’t be attracted to their personality, and you haven’t gotten to know them, so you couldn’t possibly be in love with the "real" them. The only aspect about them you could have possibly based your decision upon, is looks, and looks alone. You notice a person, they are -- drop dead -- gorgeous, you irrationally come to the conclusion that you are in love with them. SHALLOW. I do believe it would slightly help, when making such a pivotal decision, if you, oh I don’t know, actually knew something about the person other then that they are hot, before you decide that they are the man/women of your dreams.

Though the moment you strike up a conversation with this person, and THEN fall in love with them, it can no longer be considered love at first sight, for you have not based your decision solely on looks, but also on their personality. Bravo. Unless of course, you came to the conclusion that they were your soul mate before you initiated the conversation with them, in that case, I hope everything works out for you. Don’t fall in love with a person’s looks fall in love with the person.
