Just found this , and I thought I´d share it with you...!

Yeah, all the moron news anchors see the Daily Show as terrible a left/right wing attempt at comedy, then they Sexually harrass coworkers and take up about half a day of news with two airheads talking about Blogs, Bloggers and (this one makes me shiver) the Blogosphere. You really got to wonder though, if news organizations such as Fox don't seem reliable and the Daily Show is one of the few places you can find news that matters, what is happening to the media? What is happening to the youth and impressionable? What is happening to North America?

To minque, that was, strange. One of my favourite songs ever, but because internet kittens and photo shop annoy me, I have mixed emotions about it. Wait a second, did I just sound like a flash cartoon critic? Must, stop, criticizing.

I doubt many people are accusing him of being right-wing because

1. He's openly said he voted for John Kerry at the last election.

2. There are no Left-wing pundits. There are hack-pundits, 2 leftwing fakes from CNN, one left wing fake from Fox news, look through television, newspapers, radio... left-wing pundits are increasingly scarce.

Ahh.. Thats how its spelled.. I always thought it was Youth'n'Asia..

Wow minque that kitten thing was um...slightly disturbing to say the least. And seeing as how i don't watch the news, for many of the reasons stated I shall not comment on the matter.

FYI it's euthanasia

That is correct.

Hes quite good too.. I haven't read an entire book from him yet but I've read a few excerpts. My lil bro reads his books all the time.

So who else is getting murdered by school and work?

Youth in Asia is a local band in my city. Pretty good too.

Wow. That's all I have to say.

AHAHAH! OMG I laughed uncontrolably for 2.6 mins.. Wow..

Well, a few days ago, I got fired from the little coffee shop I worked at. They couldn't even give me a reason. They even said that I was a hard worker and they didn't have a complaint with me.

At least the people here like me.

We do?... Oh yea.. Err what was I talking about?

Anyways, 11 more days of school! Woot!

We don't get out until the 21st.

The school system never ceases to amaze me me with its stupidity.

Fired... shucks man that sucks.

exam week here, already taken my Chemistry and Biology exams. just have my Psychology exam on Thursday and I am done . So I am working extra hours and racking up kudos at work. 10hour workdsay last Friday, and extra hours everyday this week. :S this semester flew by way to fast.

I'm seeing the silver lining with this whole fired thing though; I know the owner of a guitar shop, and I'm going to see if I can get a job over there.

That would be the greatest job ever.

Ah yeah anything to do with one's hobbies make for a great job. unfortunetly there are no aquatic plant/shrimp shops anywhere except for SE asia so I am out of luck. Can jsut shoot for a regular pet sotre but they annoy the heck out of me :S. and so I do coffee lol

Working in a coffee shop is cool when its nice and layd back.. I know I work at one.

Were not as layed back however, cause we do full meals all the way from breakfest to dinner.

But this seems to chatty.. so.. *looks around nervously* so.. yea I should go..

I got results for a few of my Christmas tests back over the last couple of days

I got
48% in Maths (Higher Level)
B1/A2 in English (Higher Level; % not given)
77.3% in French (Higher Level)
86% in Biology (Higher Level)
61% in Chemistry (higher Level) and
100% in Geography (Higher Level)
and i haven't gotten the rest back yet

Doesn't look that bad LoneWolf I had the last exam today, dont know when we will get the results back. Hopefully before school ends, but we might not get the English back until school start again But I really think these exams we had this year have been very boring... Not close to anything I would actually enjoy working hard with

Congrats Wolfie! You did very well I think, like geography huh?

Anyways have a big hug and a

Fuzzy: I´m sure you´ll show us some very good results as well....so you too have a hug and a



For me I got the nice info today that there will be a short outage at my plant....starting late night christmas-eve...so there will probably be some good work for me during this holiday...


bläääääääääääähh

Hmmn.. recently I did the ASVAB (recent being within the past month)

I scored in the 90th percentile in all English skills, the 70th percentile in Electric and Scientific Skills and around 60-65 in every other skill (Math, People Skills, etc.)

It's goverment sponsored and created so I think it's at least a bit accurate (considering I had to take a test three class periods long)

yayy! congrats Stomach Ache! have a hug and a

Now then what exactly is ASVAB?

Some skill aptitude test that is in use across the US. I'm not quite sure what it stands for but it is hailed for being fantasticly accurate.

Er... If I'm not mistaken thats what you take when you wish to join the military O_o

Our grading systems here in america seem to be quite diff from your european ones..

Like a 68% in chemistry is really, really, really bad.. (heh, my grade..) It is actually failing

hehe here a 68% is only 2% off being a B3

I just took some Chemistry test, I am still waiting to get the results back.....

A B3?

...Ok.. I think Ima gonna try to xplain our grading system..

A - 100-90% - Best you can do
B - 89-80%
C - 79-70%
D - 69-60%
E - Is unimportant
F - Your a failure. - Worst you can do

Now, passing is usually making about a 70% or above. Grading scale changes with each state.. Mine is actually diff then this, but not a whole lot.

Here it's:

A: 85-100%
B: 70-84%
C: 55-69%
D: 40-54%
E: 25-39%
F: 0-24%

A pass is a D or higher here, 40% or higher

The whole A1,A2, B1, B2, B3 thing i can't remeber what the percentages for, so i didn't put them in

Well, originally it did have some military connection, now it's just a skill aptitude test.

Just want to share the news, my daughter has now been in US for a week, she´s arrived at her host-family in Ann Arbor MI, and so far everything is great.

It´s nice and snowy where she is, the family have taken very good care of her and the previous au-pair has introduced her to a lot of ppl.....

Oh guys I really feel like I want to go visit her as soon as possible..it sounds very nice what she´s telling.....so I´m now saving up all money I can spare so I can go on a loooooong trip to US next year.....

anywere near missouri?

I might! you never know! See I´ll probably go with my son(11) and let him stay in Ann Arbor when I travel around visiting friends....I would like to visit all of you guys but that would be impossible so ......

But we´ll see I haven´t decided when or where yet!

heh... yeah well good luck on the money raising thing...

hmm seems I have gone absent for a while... my apologies. exams and break. O.o and I am still recovering from the psychological mind hamster that is Neon Genesis Evangelion. So good, yet so.... disturbing...to say the least.

Great show.

And minque, I would save my money to go somewhere besides the US; it isn't that great.

Enough so that I bought the series O.o It really messes with your mind and yet I want to watch it all over again O.o

Oh bah! The US is wonderful... but not at this time of year.. I think Danny that your confusing the US with North Carolina which in all actuallity is a sucky place to be if you don't live in Charlotte.

The new hellsing series comes out in Jan 2006. I'm looking forward to it.

EDIT: No, I meant the US. Not a cool tourist attraction, but maybe that's because I live here. I mean, the most interesting tourist attraction here is the smithsonian, and I don't know if it's worth it to travel from europe.

Well, its weird really. Toronto (a place I go often) seems like just another city to my, but to many people visiting Canada see it as almost a holy land. Its so new and different to them it really can't be compared to our views on it. I understand what you mean though.

But yeah, if you ever get the chance, visit Canada. Its kind of like visiting twenty diferent countries in one. The landscape, people and language varies so much, from small towns to the rockies to the flat, harvesting lands that seem to go on forever. Also, we have the CN tower, Skydome, the Awesomely awesome parlement building (which no other country has. No country. None at all. None) and the Royal hotel, one of the places downtown where only crack addicts sleep (and a murderer).

There was a tad bit of sarcasim in my post..

I've to many places in the US, and I've even been to Canada and Europe.

Each country has something special. I for one go googly eyed over monuments and old library's because I sorta would like to be a historian. Most of all however I am quite nationalistic. I love my country and I feel proud that others wish to visit it. So I guess I'm a outspoken critic for it.

/end rant

Minque you need to visit a Amish town.. thats really weird..

EDIT: No offense to any canadians that reside on this board but I lost a good deal of respect for Canada in general after I sat behind a car with a liscence plate from Quebec that was so busy looking at the stuff around them that they didn't go through the 2 green lights that flicked on and off in front of them.

But canada is very beautiful.. Cheers to that.

I like America just fine. I'm allowed to say what I want, pretty much do what I want, believe how I want, etc.

I was speaking of the US as a tourist attraction though, not as a home.

US as home = YAY

US as vacation = these people are dumb.

Buwahaha. Personally I just think NC sucks (we gots loads of tobacco feilds.. YAY!) but the rest of the US (aside from central america... YAY More farmland!) is very interesting.

Nappa Valley in CA is awesome.

O.o The US doesn't even Venture into central America.

And there is much more to Central America than farmlands.

Sounds like you might find Elfen Lied to be interesting as well.

It's just a bit more... bloody.

Agreed though, NGE was good, in its own strange and intriguing way.

Heey...I´m going to US anyway....it´s a dream I´ve had for many years and nowadays the travel is not that expensive so it´s not a big deal to fly over!

I´m very curious of the country and I´m sure it´s worth a visit! and so is Canada! My daughter will go to Canada for sure, where she lives it´s just an hour´s drive they say!

I on my behalf find Sweden a very expensive somewhat boring country to visit, but it´s a good one to live in....sort of!

So beware guys.....I´m coming over!!!

You know I (sorta) go out with the foreign exchange student from sweden at my school. Shes really sweet and quiet.. I wonder if all.. err.. swedeners.. are like that?

You do? wow....now we swedes are known to be quiet and shy....but we are not that quiet..we are normal like anyone..and since I´ve been around here for so long time you might have noticed I´m not so very quiet!

Now you would probably like my daughter she´s not exactly quiet but intelligent and a very sweet girl

Maybe we are.....a bit calm and shy though.....sometimes

Bloody O.o not that big of a gore fan. but I will see what I can get I'll definetly give it a shot. NGE is still on the mind though :S I love and hate that feeling, O.o it probably didn't help that I related a bit too much with shinji -_-

Just curious, but did you just watch the series or did you manage to find the movie, End of Evangelion, as well? The movie basically replaces the last two episodes, 25 and 26, and offers an alternative ending. Or well, some say that the events in the movie and the last two episodes take place concurrently. Regardless of whether it's a new ending or just the old one from another perspective, it's an interesting watch. Perhaps a bit more depressing than the series itself. That is, if you found NGE to be depressing in the first place.

I am working on getting the movies. I have simply watched the series with the extended episodes . The last two episodes on the series were way to confusing, it had me doubting wether the entire thing was real or not and the last part were everyone is like "Congratulations" I was like WTF.
