Rant

This is a poem from "Rant" a book by Cameron Semmens tiph you'll be proud to know that me and sean@ got both books and got them signed so ya can borrow a plenty when you return~~~

a current-er prayer

Our media,
whose art is manipulation
hollow be thy game.
Thy camera's come, it will be done
on Nine as it is on Seven.
Give us this day our daily sensation,
and feed us our fears
as we feed the fears of others.
Lead us on with misinformation
and deliver us from thinking.
For thine is the king-maker
with the power of the story,
forever and ever,
amoral.

Absolute Moron

This guy has to be the biggest moron out there...

This one needs an introduction, so you won't be lost at the beginning. This man was in an accident at work, so he filled out an insurance claim. The insurance company contacted him and asked for more information. This was his response:

"I am writing in response to your request for additional information, for block number 3 of the accident reporting form. I put 'poor planning' as the cause of my accident. You said in your letter that I should explain more fully and I trust the following detail will be sufficient. I am an amateur radio operator and on the day of the accident, I was working alone on the top section of my new 80-foot tower. When I had completed my work, I discovered that I had, over the course of several trips up the tower, brought up about 300 pounds of tools and spare hardware. Rather than carry the now unneeded tools and material down by hand, I decided to lower the items down in a small barrel by using the pulley attached to the gin pole at the top of the tower. Securing the rope at ground level, I went to the top of the tower and loaded the tools and material into the barrel. Then I went back to the ground and untied the rope, holding it tightly to ensure a slow decent of the 300 pounds of tools."

"You will note in block number 11 of the accident reporting form that I weigh only 155 pounds. Due to my surprise of being jerked off the ground so suddenly, I lost my presence of mind and forgot to let go of the rope. Needless to say, I proceeded at a rather rapid rate of speed up the side of the tower. In the vicinity of the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming down. This explains my fractured skull and broken collarbone. Slowed only slightly, I continued my rapid ascent, not stopping until the fingers of my right hand were two knuckles deep into the pulley. Fortunately, by this time, I had regained my presence of mind and was able to hold onto the rope in spite of my pain. At approximately the same time, however, the barrel of tools hit the ground and the bottom fell out of the barrel."

"Devoid of the weight of the tools, the barrel now weighed approximately 20 pounds. I refer you again to my weight in block number 11. As you might imagine, I began a rapid descent down the side of the tower. In the vicinity of the 40-foot level, I met the barrel coming up. This accounts for the two fractured ankles, and the lacerations of my legs and lower body. The encounter with the barrel slowed me enough to lessen my injuries when I fell onto the pile of tools and, fortunately, only three vertebrae were cracked. I am sorry to report, however, that as I lay there on the tools, in pain, unable to stand and watching the empty barrel 80 feet above me, I again lost my presence of mind. I let go of the rope..."

Whinging Time

I've decided first of all to winge about the fact that i was forced to attend school on the past wednesday and thursday and that my school is officially worse than a prison. And not only that but while attending school we had to endure the two hottest days this summer i not sure why it waited till school went back but summer has decided to arrive.

On a cooler note yesterday after trying to sell one of our friends by form of raffle ticket for 24 hrs. One student at school asked if they could through him in a trash can which was an interesting question. But for some reason noone saw the slave opportunity going for just 1 dollar. Considering they would prob be the only one to buy a ticket. But then with great addition to his self asteem his sisters friend bought him, so we bolted up to the tuckshop to buy some iceblocks.

While waiting at the so called "tuck" shop (a place where you couldn't buy a tuck or even a nose job?) We slowly collected money from people with leftovers bringing us to the total of $10 which evedently bought us an entire bag of iceblocks which we through at people while running around the school.

But it dosn't end the after exhausting our supply of ice blocks money wasting mitch decided to buy another so we went to the place where all were congregated and proceeded to throw thim in the air thus cooling the extremely hot day.

So we have decided to continue this free iceblock thing but probably not pay $10 a bag for $3 a bag items. So on this note i say DONT COME BACK TO SCHOOL!!! ITS TOO HOT!!!

And also Tiph when you read this you must tell me if the hidrants over there are really red and must publish a picture on you Jeke... Please
