Girl Scouts
Like radioactive proof gas masks. I can imagine what would happen if the girl scout came to my door way.
"Would you like to buy a gas mask?" she'd ask.
"No thanks."
"Only ten bucks"
"I said no."
"North Korea has the bomb"
"So?"
"So George Bush is our president."
"Alright, lemme get my wallet, I'll need a few extra masks . . ."
I swear, if that man does something stupid, like invade Korea, I'll gladly become Canadian.
Or I'll be an illegal immigrant sneaking into Mexico. Wouldn't that be ironic? I live less than two miles from Mexico, it's across the river. China, Paris, Norway and Poland are within 50 miles of my house and Berlin is just an hour and a half away. Maine is indeed a funny place.
Of course, Mexico has the Wal-Mart.
In other news, Black Mountain tripled its size last summer and last weekend all the trails were open. The skiing was excellent. The best trails are the challenging ungroomed trails. Wooden sticks . . .

Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow
During yesterday's rehearsal the cast watched the movie Into the Woods. If we do this right, this will be funny. If not . . . at least disasters are interesting.
Well, there isn't much else happening to talk about so adios
I'm on it like Michael Jackson with a nine year old.

And They All Lived Happily After
There weren't enough cast members to begin with. Several roles, like the Crapshooters and Arvide, were TBA and unknown. To make things worse, people left the show for one reason or another. At that time, it was up in the air what would happen to the spring musical, whether it would be cancelled, changed, or whatever. I had to wait until Monday to find out.
Monday, the cast, as it was, met for the first time. It was a rehearsal turned into an emergancy meeting. Josie, our director, said that the show was changing to Into the Woods, a fairy tale-ish musical starring Jack from the beanstalk story, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and a baker. Fairy tales. It sounds really corny, cheesey, maybe even gay, but actually, it might actually funny. And hell, whats wrong with a children's story anyways? Ah well. Josie gave everyone in the cast new roles and we went on with the rehearsal. I got the part of a Steward.
It turns out Lt. Brannigan died before he was even born.
Everything was calm. And then, it was Tuesday. I was in History, it was last period, and Welsh came on the intercom and announced "Due to the cancellation of Guys and Dolls, auditions will be held Wednesday and Thursday for Into the Woods." I was perplexed. The roles were given out and we didn't need auditions, what the hell was going on?
Josie was furious. She explained what was going on, somehow Thibideaux thought that would be the only way to make it fair, it was some sort of political thing. But we ran through the rehearsal anyways. I met the choreographer, a guy named Vincent. He's kind of funny.
Auditions on Wednesday showed that auditions were not needed, everyone who showed up that night, showed up for Guys and Dolls, and on Tuesday, technically, they already audited. I guess the auditions weren't really a bad thing, but they set us back a few days and just added chaos into a chaotic life. Auditions were fun though. First, the singers went one at a time to sing. Then the girls practised their screams, there is a lot of screaming in Into the Woods. The boys had to howl like a wolf, someone's gotta eat Lil' Red. Then we danced. They danced. I tried to follow Vincent's feet, but I got nothing, so it's official. The steward I play doesn't dance. We did lines from another play, and then we could finally go home. Thursday was basically the same, only there were only five people.
The cast list was put out today. Kyle got the Wolf and one of the Princes. Mike got the Narrator, and I got the Steward. And now everything is back to normal. There is a show, everyone has their definate roles, and all is calm now. If anything comes up to disrupt this, I will quit, and so will everyone else, especially poor Josie who got caught in the middle of everything.
But that's not gonna happen. The show is on the road now. Into the Woods. I'm just glad the fuss and the politics are over.
There is a song that goes very well with the play, the way it is now. "Here We Go Again."
Well, that's all folks.

At Least, Disasters are Interesting
Actually, I'm not too upset over my role in the play, this time he isn't the nerdy type who whines about everything, he's a cop. Best of all, he doesn't sing a word. I don't mind other people singing, besides MJ and Spears and Enya, I just don't like to do it myself. Ever hear someone scratch their nails on a blackboard? I'm worse. The one time I ever sang in public, the song was Piña Colada and I had a bag over my head, was at my school's Gong show. I was dragged off by two mental doctors.
Getting back to the point, when Thibideaux told me to check the cast list, a part of me wanted the role. Most of me, however, accepted it as fate.
God had predestined my life - I was to be Lt. Brannigan, and no earthly force could stop it, not even time itself. The lieutenant is my destiny. Some destiny.
Monday is the first rehearsal. From then on, I just have to remember:
In other news, I decided that MASH is my favorite TV show.

Alan Alda is hilarious, the show's hilarious and the movies almost as good, but I prefer Alan Alda to Donald Sutherland. Alda is a Mainer, so thats another reason to like him. I also like Three is Company with the late John Ritter. These old shows are so much better than the ones on now. I also like some of the older movies made by Mel Brooks, such as Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstien. Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder have a lot of talent.

Je ne peux pas penser
I guess that I was just bored.
I suppose when a person gets up at 5:00 AM every morning, it would make sense that he's sleepy for the rest of the day. Mountain Valley, my old High School option, was not a good idea however, even though it's a mere five minutes away.
I remember back in the day when I said to my mother "I don't want to go to St. Dom's. I don't want to wear a tie every day, or get up at five every morning, or ride in the car for an hour there and back every day. I don't want to do it." I was set on Mountain Valley then. Look where I am now . . .
How ironic.
My problem with Mountain Valley is that it is full of idiots. I don't hate everyone there, actually, I don't hate most of them, just a small few. But it was enough to make me just look at them and then just leave. It was the better option. It was the only option.
So because of all this, I find myself bored, wearing my tie, at St. Dominic Regional High School rather than a prisoner in locker 283 in Mountain Valley High School. I guess I made a good choice; not one person really hates me, and I don't hate anyone, even that annoying kid. He's not bugging me much anymore.
It's hard to do that from the inside of a locker . . .

Lt. Brannigan
"But Jar Jar's my favorite character!" a second whined.
"Peter, I don't give a damn, it makes me sick" the first snarled.
"Oh Come on guy's, I gotta leave by twelve so lets play some poker" a third said.
"Vinnie, stay out of this!" the first voice shouted.
"Vinnie, please, let me keep my Jar Jar with me!" Peter whimpered.
"Lt. Brannigan, please, just ignore Peter!" Vinnie cried out "I just wanna play poker before I have to go home!"
"No friggin 'girly starwars dolls'" Brannigan shouted. "This is a man's poker table!"
"SHUT THE HELL UP ALL OF YOU!!!" I shouted. It didn't work. Peter continued to complain about his Jar Jar, Vinnie started complaining about how the wife was going to continue and Brannegan, just shouted about like a grump. These voices continued in my head all day long. You can't imagine the headache I have recieved! These characters are getting out of hand. Peter, Vinnie and Lt. Brannigan are all characters from play that I have either done, or will do.
My psychologist says I have a bad case of dramaitis. Mr. Thibideaux said Friday in an ominous voice "Check the cast list for your name Monday." I looked. There it was today, right above Kyle's. It's like Hello Dolly all over again. It's a massive play, some thirty people, eight from my class. Ben and PJ are doing stage crew again and Nick will probably do lights again. Poor Mike has to wait until Wednesday to see if he got the part he wanted. "Big Jule," that's what he got. I got Lt. Brannigan. Thibideaux said that it was a non-singing role. Damn, I hope so.
In other news, History class sucks!
I went skiing yesturday. My mountain, Black Mountain, just got a brand new chairlift that goes about 700 feet higher than the rickity-backbreaking-never-working-peice-of-[censored]-[censored]-[censored]
-T-bar. It was about three thousand below with windchill, so basically, I froze on the chairlift. But the skiing going down was awesome. Got some air on some nice hills. I had to go in about every two runs though.
I think Spruce mountain still uses a tote-rope. For crying out loud! In this age of spaceships and nuclear reactors, do we really need something as painfull and difficult as a tote rope? Gimmie a break. Of course, that mountain isn't much higher than an average two-story house. Those jay-walking citizens of Jay. Pathetic. I laugh at them: Ha Ha.

I Don't Believe Him!
He roped me in again, hook, line and sinker.
Just another adventure.
After falling into Mr. T's trap, it was time for my school to go to Mass. I go to one of those weird schools that celebrate the Eucharist every Friday. I don't mind though. I'm not very religious but Mass makes my classes shorter, so it makes me happy. There is this very annoying kid that I don't like, and I realized he wasn't there. That made me happy. During the Mass, I noticed my History teacher, the Deuce, leaving. This made me even happier. About ten minutes passed. Father Labree was rambling about something in his homily, I can never pay attention during Mass, and I glanced to the right. And that was when my spirits plummetted The Duece returned, followed by that annoying kid. This made me less happy. I had it all, then they returned.
Later this evening I went to the fitness center. I was in the room, benching my humble five pounds when this eldish guy comes in. He gets on a back-extension machine. It has twenty bars on it, the twentieth is 330 pounds. He set the machine to the twentieth and then takes three half-weights from some other machines and stacks them on top. I looked at him in silent amazement and mouthed silently, "He's not gonna. . . " He did. Effortlessly. I was thinking "Did he just . . . ?" I was amazed. I strained my self on my five pounds.
Hey I attempted the 330 pounds.
That's why I'm typing this in the hospital.
Just Kidding.
Oh, don't type papers while you're stoned. This is the funniest essay I've ever read! But I can't believe he got a D-!

TGIF is a Screwed Up Phrase
History with the Deuce. The Deuce, that's what she's called. Rather like, El Duce, aka Mussolini. Nothing against her, she's a good teacher but I get behind so easily in that class. That irritates me. I wrote an essay on America's policy on the Native Americans. I liked it and I got it back. "0/9 points. Wrong topic." Schieße! How the hell did this happen? And then there was last Thursday when I was hit with two tests, in one day, in one class, in one period, that I knew nothing about! How do these disasters happen? Scheiße! Scheiße! Scheiße!
On a side note, I DO pay attention.

Third Time's A Charm . . .
Yesterday was particularly terrifying. I had a History exam. Because it was AP, it was hard. Believe me, I had more fun earlier this week in Trigonometry or Chemistry. My teacher's an interesting teacher. She tends to say things like "I'm gonna hang you by your tie and shoot you." I wasn't suprised, then, yesterday, to see a skeleton hanging from the cieling . . . I didn't like that kid anyways.
Ah, but schools out at last.
In other news, I have a new website comming out soon. It'll have C-Script tutorials and such. I'm working on a game about a wizard who blows stuff up. It's comming along slow but surely. Disgustingly, I've had to use trig in it once. I hate knowing that math isn't useless. It should be!
Learned about the mole in chemestry - 6.022 x 10e23. That's disgusting too. I have never understood why numbers like that couldn't be something simple like 1 x 10e23. Something easy to understand. There is a conspiracy underfoot folks! One to confuse us and ruin us all.
Speaking of ruin . . . George Bush is president . . .

Fascism in America

His war in Iraq has sunk the US in a quagmire, ruined foreign policy in the Middle East and only raised the terror alert! While we deal with Saddam, Al-Zaquari and his followers Osama, the mastermind of 9-11 runs loose plotting more destruction. He's an arrogant peice of crap who doesn't give a damn about the environment and cares only for the rich elite. This war in Iraq reminds me too much like . . . lebensraum . . .

Procrastination
I was very upset November 2nd, when Bush won the election. Come on America, what's wrong with you? I asked, no begged, pleaded, with you. Jesus for President. But no. Lets vote for the rich cry-baby warmonger. Ave Bushius Caesar!
At least the Odd Couple went well, except for the line Kyle missed each show! In the first performance, Oscar hit the plate with my BLT & pickle on it. The pickle flew over the walls of the set! It was like SuperPickle, here to save the day. Sounds like a really bad kids show. The next performance, someone put jelly in my BLT. The one part of the show I was looking forward to . . . gone.
Speaking of gone, I think he is finaly gone. He, the only one at school whom I hate, no, LOATH. First he makes fun of my friends, then me, then he alienates my friends, and that was it. He's gone. Christian Morality . . . gone as well. I only have so much willpower.
Got a good two inch snowfall Sunday morning. I was quite amazed when I woke up and saw the snow. I want to ski . . .

Nov 22, 1963, President Kennedy assassinated in Texas. Someone's created a video game about this. You play as Lee Harvey Oswald. Now that is disgusting. We don't need crap like that. But now its out and it's the creaters law-given right to produce that game. God Bless America.

Drama is a Five Letter Word
So what does this have to do with drama? Drama is where it always happens. Take last year for example. The show was Hello Dolly, a show I wasn't even suppose to be involved with in the first place. What happened was that a friend of mine, my ride home that day, took off without me, leaving me behind. There was a Drama rehearsal that day. I made the mistake of deciding to help out in crew for that day, because after that, I was stuck.
Don't go thinking I'm complaining here, I had fun. It's just that some of the things that happened at that time were rather bizzare. There's one such event I'd like to share to make my point. My friends, Kyle and Ben were moving a sound board from the back of the room to the stage. Because the stage is in the school's cafeteria, there were tables and chairs in the way. I was pushing these out of the way when I heard a loud electronic voice shout "Die you stinkin moron! Die!" Next thing I know, I'm flying in the air about fifty feet, land on my back, skid another fifty and bump into the spotlight, which then began to chase me. Fortunatly, when it pulled its extension cord from the wall, it stopped, to never harrass me again. Obviously something is trying to kill me, and its doing it through the Drama Society. This is what I call the Curse.
But I had fun. Everyone loved my star role where Ben and I walked on stage between scenes, turned a table around and then walked off. Got more applause than the real star of the show.
So this year, being the intelligent man I am, I joined Drama again.
The play I'm in is the Odd Couple. Vinnie. He's a whipped, nerdy type of guy whose only positive aspect is that he always wins poker. So far, the Curse, however, hasn't struck. Actually, I'm having a lot of fun with The Odd Couple, it's my first real role with a script. It's also fun to watch Kyle and Mr. Thibideaux (the director, and my French III teacher) fight with each other.
In other news, the Quarterly Exams are finally over. I can finally breath, and perhaps by next friday, my burning headache will finally disappear and the voices in my head might finally stop. The Sine of 45 is the square root of . . . The French Indian war was the cause of . . . the conjugation of avoir with . . . Maybe someday the madness will stop.

Jesus For President!
Jesus For President!
Think about it. Seriously! First of all, healthcare. Kerry has some big government plan to implement (which either never works or is just a scheme for more money) and Bush doesn't care. Jesus has high social standards, man! Healthcare would be free, unlimited, especially for the sinners and the rich!
He'd also be for the poor. He'd reduce the homeless in the large cities, lend aid to the poor farmers and industrial workers. America would flourish.
Jesus' view of the environment: Unlike Bush, who choses to ignore the planet, the world that was created by God would surely be taken care of by His own son!
Nuclear Arms - He'd get rid of them. They have no defense, they are purely weapons of hate. The world would be a happier place.
War in Iraq and Afghanistan: Being a pacifist and a very wise rabbi he'd have our troops back home, safe and sound before you could say ressurection!
Therefore, on November 2, 2004 I will, and I urge all of you to do this as well (in memory of Him), vote for Jesus of Nazereth for the 44th President of the United States of America. God Bless and Good Night
