"Sir, are you in the army?"
imagine me with most bewildered and disgusted look on my face.

enough of these ROTC quotes
how bout some pomona ones?
Just before yeast culture lab ...
Bio professor: "Yeast, being simple Eukaryotes, are extemely useful in the lab. What do we use yeast for?"
Most of class: quiet mumbling about isolating mutations and other genetics stuff.
Pause.
Creepy but awesome guy in the back: "Beer!"

why am i at a liberal arts college?
hardest class of the semester by far: Environmental History of North Africa and the Middle East
over the course of the past 2 weeks i have spent over 20 hours reading over 500 pages of "environmental" history, which is really just history except they emphasize water management and throw in words like "Islamic Green-Revolution" and "imperialistic deforestation." stupid breadth requirements

humping it
that means going on a hike
butts to nuts
that means get really close and cuddly in a column while we are stopped. i dont know why tho...
and after our hike last thursday we were given conflicting instructions to
1) cut all the dead skin off the blister and apply mole-skin
2) leave it alone as long as possible because the more it hurts the more it will help later on

What i learned today:
My "Origins of Christianity, Judaism and Islam" teacher knows me as the "Well Dressed Man." I would like to thank my dashing looks and naturally dapper style. however i shouldnt forget to give credit for the small contribution that ROTC makes for requiring us to wear our uniforms every tuesday.
Also i learned marines lie to their CO's when deployed saying stuff like "OH yeah we got it, its all taken care of" and "Roger that, sir, wont happen again."
Alright time for some "Gay-ass story time"
apparently the Geneva convention says no mines/ordnance that is detonated without some one actually being there to press a trigger, ie. pressure/trip wire mines are out the window. lame.
well whats a fire team of 4 scout snipers gonna do when they raid a house and set up shop for a few days?
rig their detonators to allow for pressure release or pressure detonation of claymores so they can cover their asses as they watch from the stories above.
well suppose that this is all fine and dandy cuz one of the guys is running around telling his chain of command of all the cool stuff he did. just fyi they zip tie all the doors and windows, and keep the family upstairs locked in a bathroom. long story short, anyone snooping around is not supposed to be there, so the mines are perfectly safe (ha.).
until one night they take over a building under construction without any doors to seal off...
well one thing leads to another and the claymores are set up without any type of warning off system (for example a similar rigging but with a flare pointed upwards outside the door).
and soon after a loud, like really loud boom happens...apparently wild dogs made their way in and set off the 2 claymores set up guarding the stairs.
the scout snipers' base starts radioing them thinking they are getting hit by everything bad in the area and is about to scramble the every asset they have, but luckily things were clarified. except that once a higher authority heard what happened the big "WHAT?" question was asked about the claymores.
all of the sudden the COs of the company and battalion had no idea about the claymores... so orders were given to cut that action out.
this is where the "Roger that, sir" (its not your ass on the line) ;) come in.

My sunday.
woke up in the morning, had a delicious dorm food brunch and got to work reading about jesus...boooooring..
hit up the gym for 2 hours and as i get into the ward room guess who calls? noelle. saying she is out side my dorm building with katie in their car. i direct them down the hill almost onto campus and meet them. as i got in the car they warned me they needed gas, altho failed to mention that they needed gas in the next two min. or their car would die. so instead of pulling a U-turn and going down the hill past de neve (a dorm building) and ending up right at a chevron I take them down towards sorority row. but as soon as we hit hilegard (the farthest away from the chevron we could possibly get the car dies. so i run the 2 miles to the gas station and deal with a non english speaking cashier trying to get a gallon holder and finally after i get the holder i spend the next 15 min figuring how to work the damn thing. after running the 2 miles back it was a whole different deal trying to get the gas into the car...so i ended up with gasoline all over my hands and shorts but had the success of having enough gas to drive to the chevron.
after that fiasco i started the physics i was supposed to be doing for the past couple hours and then dinner!
Mindy's family happened to be in LA and they dropped off lucky money for....vietnamese new years? or chinese new years but seeing as they arent chinese that seems to not make sense. either way i got 66 bucks (the best part was the three 2 dollar bills i received!)
and along with the gift of cash they brought food. really really really good food. like amazing vietnamese bbq. that is served in the same fashion as hawaiian or korean bbq. i had some fantabulous pork and beef and something along the lines of an egg roll thats wrapped in like a clear rice wrap with pork in it. needless to say i stuffed myself and feel really sick as i embark on a journey to finish my physics, read about jesus and finish the hang over.

Best claim of 2011
"...if anything smoking MJ is good for you"
my roommate (obviously not erk)
and on the note of MJ, my roommate decided to make a deal in our room and he also knows someone who actually had people search his room, meaning in order to hide certain things he ran into my dorm room looking for a good spot, luckily my roommate wasnt there to make sense of the situation!

Hey apple people!
As all of you know, my screen cracked. The itouch was still fully functional albeit with some cracks, but now I can't unlock the damn thing. The thing is teasing me; I can slide the unlock peg about half way and then, once it reaches half way, it resets--its like the digitizer is broken on the bottom right hand corner of the itouch. If I double click the home button, I can still slide the volume tab across the entire horizontal length of the screen. What a terrible 1/16th part of my screen to be broken.
So...
Do I bring it to the store? I hear repairs could cost like 200. I dropped the ipod in the first place so the 1 year given warranty I believe is void(please correct me if i'm wrong);however, since the device was working after I dropped and then it faulted ex-post facto is there a loophole?
Or
But a Kit and then Do it yourself?
So, I've killed 2 Macbooks and my now 3rd ipod(1 mini and 2 itouches). What do I do now?

And I quote...
"Nothing to fear. Got a big marine dude to feel safe. U dont get scared so i will try to not. Its just talking to friends right? No bid deal"
"I like men in uniform. Its sexy. lol. so i will picture you naked then! Haha."
this is all after 6 essays all txted to me before i can write "frak off" in a nice way.
and this is the girl who was freaking out all weekend about our presentation and who has consistently been freaking out for the past 2 weeks.

SSgt's are funny
one of the Staff sergeants today suggested to amis and me that we go to the sperm bank 3 times a week. the only reason he couldn't do it was because he was under 5'10"
apparently you get anywhere from 1300-1700 dollars a month depending on the raising and lowering of rates, for three visits a week. not a bad deal.
should i or should i not?? the bank is right in westwood north of wilshire, not far at all...

Never say never
never thought i would read, or own for that matter a bible. Or even a Qur'an!
but now i do for one of my classes and i made it through half the book for Genesis before saying "Foxtrot This Sierra!" and turned to spark notes.
and for the record i was actually interested and excited to read this, but then of course i started reading it and things fell apart from there....
