| Damn, hard to believe it's been over a month since I've seen home or the majority (if not all) of the people who are reading this. I haven't been as busy with school this week so I've had a little more interesting stuff happen. I guess I should start with Sunday. I got up early and went out grouse/squirrel hunting with Brent. It was a rather shitty day out, so we didn't expect to get much. Damn were we ever right... the only things we shot were two puny ass pine squirrels. On the upside it was quite satisfying toasting my first animal with my shotgun. I shot it right in the head from about 5 yards... took the top of it's head right off. I just wish it would have been something that you could eat.... damned pine squirrels. On Monday I saw the stoned guy... yeah, the one from this entry. He wasn't stoned on Monday though... he looks completely different when he isn't blown out. I felt compelled to talk to him after that day, and did. |

| Just a couple of pics I took the other day while I was fucking around on my bass. |
| Me: Dude, you were fucked up the other night Non Stoned Guy: (while grinning and turning the slightest bit red) Yeah, I was man... I went home and slept until noon the next day. That concluded our conversation (if you can call it that) |
| On Monday night I saw a bear; and it wasn't just one, but two bears. That was very odd considering I hadn't seen any in the time I'd been back up here. I'm just glad I was in my Samurai with a machete nearby, because you know there are few things more unpleasant than a pissed off black bear in your vicinity. I honestly don't know if they were pissed off or not, but I sure's hell wasn't about to go out prodding them with small sticks to find out. Today was kind of interesting... I got to listen to speeches from and talk to two of the candidates for the MN state governor's office. Ken Pentel (Green Party) spoke during my comparative politics class.... man was that guy a nutty ass fruitcake. I wouldn't suggest voting for him or others like him unless you like the thought of driving small electric powered go-carts around, having big electicty generating fans in your yard, and wiping your ass with the same hankerchief you blow your nose on. This guy was one of the most severve tree hugging hippie types I've ever seen. He did have a few good ideas, but they were steeped in insane pipe dreams for the future... Oh yes, and he believes that all handguns and semi-automatic/automatic guns should be banned. For me that is like saying you're going to outlaw air. The day I vote for a guy like this is the day that God and Satan sit down for tea and cookies together. During my next class the Democratic candidate, Roger Moe, came in. He seemed like a fairly nice guy who had some decent views on health care and education, but he wanted to raise existing taxes and impose new ones to pay for these plans. He had much more realistic aspriations than Mr. Pentel (aka hippie fucker), but he was a typical Democrat, which will never be popular enough in my mind to get a vote. Oh, there's one more point I'd like to talk about... most of you have already seen, or possibly addressed this problem. His name is George Walker, and he is a prick. For more information look at Matthew's page about the ordeal here. What a fuckwad.... I suggest you shower him with obnoxious e-mails and general scorn/ridicule. That is all... |
