LUTSEN

So currently is is 46 degrees in Lutsen and rain and snow are in the forecast most of this week and leading right into when we go. I think we may be the dumbest kids we know.

For breakfast we should get bagels and cream cheese

Also, we should be getting an xbox lined up because im sure we could get one from one of the seniors who is going out of town if schmitt can get it or doesnt come.

BEN >> I agree. Bagels are cool, we should get egg bagels, I am addicted to them. This is faster than posting a comment. Xbox is key, I have my finger on my nose. Rock and Roll.

callin'

I call the room with the queen bed on the main floor by the porch. Stephen calls the other one. We called them a while ago, I just want to clarify it. You snooze, you should probably buy an alarm clock, I have a nice one with two alarms with three noises(elephants, bells, birds), a dimmer, white noise, battery back-up, it is made by timex, has a power cord, small, big display, easy to set, I will sell for $15, it cost around $50. Nothing wrong with it. I got a slightly better one from an aunt for christmas (I honestly prefer green LED to red). God speed Phil. Floor plan here.

Once more, with feeling

We need to do group 6. We are slacking off. Andre I want all the picture from group 4. I just go three low-res. You said alice took some good ones. We should just wait until after , so that when those idiots at W@$|-|&|_|,~^ come back they have a pink toilet on their rocks. I know a way we can do it way better next time. It is warm enough now to buy cheap C-ment. We must not fail. We must go on. and yes it will be cool to do it agian, we have a few improvements to make. You weak-ass-punks should stop saying that it will not mean anything, it will rock them hardcore. I don't want to get shot at Roosevelt, is it FDR or TR, TR is way more hardcore, he changed San Juan hill, damn is that old school. I would like to repeat, stop putting the breaks on this, you are a punk (more than GREG) and you know who you are. We must not weaken our stance. If you keep putting the breaks on this we will put your name on the facilitation object and have you take the fall. Group effort! I am going to cross-country ski at the place, it saves me $80. Who do you think reads this. I will link whatever I feel like. Nathan, get your stuff the Jonathan.
...of everything that stands

Adrenaline

Nathan, check this stuff out, and give me the $5 you owe me. Stephen has my back on this.

Adrenaline has a taste. Look at the molocule, it is covered in hydrogen, it is a hard-core acid! If I were not correct I'd pay, and yes it is easy to say that.

Greatest show of all time

What is the greatest show of all time. I am referring to TV so Nathan just go make some mini pizza bagels; grown-ups are talking. Newsradio is a clear choice. But others shows like family guy deserve credit, it will suck when they bring it back, I will give 1.4:1 odds on that. Seinfeld, unlike Newsradio, changed its genre. If one of you brings up friends, then I will be forced to remove you from the extremely shallow end of the gene, and meme, pool. Did you know that Ray Ramano almost was cast as Joe on Newsradio. He left to be on some show called everyone loves Jon Stewart watch everyone loves Raymond or something, I have been watching the daily show for years, not like all you posers who have only been watching since Newsweek came out with that piece on it. I watched Kilborn's last show. I found this awesome site about Newradio. Comedy central was originally based in Minnesota. Only Newsradio deserves italics, Joe was Italian after all. Gazziza. Newradio was neither News nor Radio, discuss it amongst yourselves. If I am the only one who gets that reference, so help me gaud I don't know what I will do. Is Man God's mistake or God Man's. How long is a length of rope. I watched Fight Club twice this weekend. Damn, what it must be like to have never seen it. You ever like something so much you wished you forgot it, just so you could discover it again. I remember the staircase from Newradio, while channel surfing years ago, my original sin. Nathan! Watch the Usual suspects. Next Monday, march 28th, is the 8th anniversary of Phil Hartman's death.

63 g

I like to verbally abuse those who fail to donate blood. I point my finger at three people, and tell them ", good job, you just killed those three people." It doesn't affect you at all - unless you are weak. Those who fail to donate are the trash of society. Nathan needs to stop pretending he was sick. Maybe he had a gender reasignment surgery (or just a first asignment) and therefore can't give blood, becuase of all the artificial testosterone in his system. JK NTC. My sleep cycle is off, I might miss tomorrow. I didn't have to go to spanish class today. I will go tomorrow, I am not weak. I have poise and grace in everything I do. I found blood on my pants, the needle leaked onto my pants. Max should get the reference.

Nathan, Holland is two province in the Netherlands check it. PN, you just got.

take it easy

There is a freecycle thing for a free electric wheelchair. Oh, my. That spanish oral sucked! At least it is over with and she knows I didn't memorize a good presentation. I just realized something. That was one of the hardest things I have every had to do in my life. I came out and saw that Sarah Rosenstone was done and was amazed that I went longer that her. I walked home after. But I got to listen to slow ride, so all is cool. I listened to slow ride after my spanish oral and my English oral; I think I will be doing that after all my IB test.

People should dontate blood. Not doing so is for people who are a candy consumable that is on a rolled paper stick with a hard sugar crystal, flavored with false food and colored with chemicals that cuase the shriveling of the male reproductive organs (not donating is for suckers). I donate, and I have AB+, we can only give to ourselves and will enventually come to dominate, being O is for suckers.

Party in OC's tomorrow; 2nd hour is having one so spread the word. "you should tell him he's fired, then tell him he isn't fired if he can say why he is fired." Goldilocks historical theory - Recent enough to have meaning, old enough to have a perspective on it. I got a haircut, tomorrow someone else will get a haircut and nobody will notice mine. Just so you know, I am on steroids, that is why I am so amazingly strong, Nathan got me hooked.
That movie in TOK was so bad, oh my, and that assclown sub wouldn't let us watch family guy. I am wicked pissed.

Bush (yes, that one) - "vote for me becuase I will fill you pothole"
You just didn't get power negotiated!

2:30

Ok so going to bed at 8:45 was a bad idea because I then woke up at 11:20 and now its 2:30 and this is what I'm doing.
Ben I like the new view of the blog because I do have dail-up and its sucks when stuff takes along time to load...though I know now that I have said that you will change it to something crazy out of spite...or if not you will now...or mabey you wont now just to spite me.

Nick i didnt get you sink joke...but thats ok.

Im so hungry I could eat at Arbys right now.

Dude we need to get group 5 and 6 over with because we have so much new stuff to get to. we should definately get to it all this weekend.

Well its now 2:30 and all i have done is read Beloved for some stupid reason. I'm so screwed for my HI now since I wont have gotten any sleep and I dont even know what my topic is.

the funny thing is that you guys wont read this until after I see you guys tomorrow and it will all be old news. its not my fault you guys are happily asleep right now. As to nathan that kid needs to stop being a skin headed slacker and come to school.

Well wild horses is playing now mabey that will put me to sleep.

adios

that surreal feeling before a storm

Nathan must be dead, or dying. He has no immune system. He doesn't watch TV so he should have posted huge blogs ranting about TV and bear-dogs. Maybe Nathan has Dutch elm disease.

There is a sink available, we could do that, it would be even more awesome. south?

Thank you TeNSiX for liking the new style of the site, I will be changing it from time to time.

On the road of life there are passengers and there are people who just got power-negotiated. I'm screwed for my Spanish oral tomorrow. I find it similar to that strange calm feeling just before a big storm, you can feel the barometric pressure, the animals are quite, the air has an electric feel. Next warm day, I want to sit outside during a storm, I haven't done that for a while. I once saw a tornado. It was awesome.

How does everyone like this theme, it is easy for our dial-up friends.

I believe in helping people, Beloved sucks (according to other people), and go to ME.

A Poll

Howdy
So I thingk that this new blog color/format is not crazy and not less enjoyable, but thats just me.

Anyway I was thinking...Who is more fun to make fun of Grag or Nathan? Please post an answer and feel free to make fun of him or her based on who you choose while you are at it.

Dude Andre how can you be excited about group 7 when we totally still have to do 5 and 6? No matter. Hey nick hope you are enjoying my calculator at exactly 12:00am however it has a timer and will beep for an hour. Just wanted to give you the heads up on that.

I think we should all go along with nick and have a strike for andres birthday present, but thats just me.

I called nathan this afternoon and his sister (hehe) (nudge nudge) told me he was dead. I said whens the funeral? she said friday... i said thats too bad everyone will be at andres birthday so no one is gonna go...well then she said some things that cant be repeated...and i did too, but I think we managed to settle with riley being our mediator. Those two sure had alot of fun togeather.

Group 7?

hey there is an offer for a toilet on freecycle. Should we take it? or do we not need it?
also i would like to state for the record that nathan (if still alive) should push assissins back.

p.s. Historical Investigations suck and are for suckers. We should totaly get togeather one of these nights and do the biology worksheets because we could get em done in like 10 minutes and no one would have to do any work.

Andre- i think that max's funeral thing is a bad omenfor you and a good omen for me in terms of your making it to tuesday. Feel free to start packing up your stereo supplies now. Also, I was woondering if I could get your x-box share because that would give me the most power over the box because I would hold the largest share. Let me know when you get a chance.

By VanBarnes: Nathan everyone thinks Assassins needs to be pushed back. Don't Stewie's shoes look strange? I just wanted to show my power.

crangrapin'

Hey Andre, can I have your vacuum cleaner if you die? (Nathan won't get that) I just got my financial aid award from Rose-Hulman, 25K a year; it still leaves me 15K a year short. I am feeling so good I will have to celebrate, damn do 'Chicken in a Biskit' taste good. Dudo que la universidad de Chicago puede hacer mejor. Not to mention the vacuum cleaner I'm going to get from Andre after he dies from hubris and greed. My cat is sitting like a person, it looks weird. Biology teacher lady used the term "Liger" inappropriately today; Liger means the father is a Lion, Tigon means the father is a Tiger, Duh.

I almost fainted twice today: once while getting up to leave during math class, and once while walking by bio class coming back from lunch. I don't know what is wrong with me.

Nathan, if you are alive, what's up. You were not mentioned during the math team announcement today. You also missed the math team photo, are you even on the math team? Joe Reed really assaulted you... verbally.

We need to go to the other axe-man for supplies for group 5. We should do it this weekend. We also should do group 6 this weekend if it is warm, I don't want to have to pay for the expensive procurements. "Law & Order" goes on the list, how could I overlook such an insanely great show. I am really bothered by Stewie's shoes on "Family Guy", they look weird.

Group 4

I just talked to one of my old friends from the site of group four. His friends and him along with the school were super pissed off about the crapper. He was like "you guys went to far" "you didnt have to bolt it down". It was sooo funny. Hes cool tho he wont rat us out.

I think group 6 should occur at the same spot. But we need to be careful about it.

andre- I have another diagram for you lets see if you get it...

andre=fat lard

get it? I'll help you out with it if you need me to.

Well its 1 am I'm goin to bed.

adios muchachos

el mono esta debajo de la mesa

He guys heres an idea for group four. We draw for high card tomorrow then call nathan and tell him he lost and has to do it. I think this works out well because then only nathan has to do it and he also has to do the chemistry. It is the fairest way to do it.

anyway has anyone noticed that i have yet to say anything meaningfull? I think it can be explained by I (heart) huckabees. Thats just a hunch, however, right off the nut.

my infinite self thinks we should play poker tomorrow but thats just a thought.

ok i really dont have anything to say so I'll just stop, but feel free to comment about my high card idea.

bitchcakes

I drew "beat, beat, drums" only 21 lines, no outside references - outside the civil war, and no plot context. I failed to power negotiate - although the caliber of my presentation hinted otherwise.

Who is actually going to do health online?

Fas est et ab hoste doceri

I am seriously considering power negotiating on my oral tomorrow.
Power negotiating in this case is placing the sheet down on the table
and reading it for the first time when you present. What is the worse
that can happen. It's all a game, I will not lose sleep about it
either way. I need a challenge, I am so bored. I am already going to
do poorly on my IB HL english test. It doesn't matter for college,
Rose-Hulman doesn't require anything else from me, I don't even have
to get the diploma. This is not a pipe.

Team Nathan Update

here is a diagram of nathan...

weather
nathan

get it?
Its is the reason I had to walk the dog this evening...sexually

On a different note O (whole note), apple gets a knee to the crotch!

Check this stuff out, sony unveiled its new line of products. Check out these mp3 players they high quality and insanely cheap for sony. They kick the iPod shuffle up the crotch so far that it's not even funny, then funny again, someone finally put apple in their place. For better images look at this link and be stunned by battery life and classic style that will bring sony into the mainstream. Sony is also departing with its proprietary music format (a key factor in my not getting a sony mp3 player in the past) and allow for full mp3 support. 70 hours of battery life, high-quality, and low-price make me almost feel bad for apple. TFA, dude, TFA. By the by, OLEDs are organic light emitting diodes, think of them as LCD screens that don't need a backlight; if you have done any reseach into LCD monitors you know this stuff is the future.

Come on Guys

We are fighting way to much over assissins. I mean really we should be fighting over much more worthless things. These teams will pull us apart and we will graduate unhappy. I mean we are all dying and life is only going to bring you down. :)

I have an Idea although I wont be surprised if you guys dont like it. I propose that we put our names in a hat and draw the teams randomly. This way no one gets angry or left ot and we can mix it up so that there is not nesecarrily one all powerful team. I know there are some of you that will be opposed to this but I think it is that safe and fair way to do it so that we dont fight any more than we have to.

Also, we should be recruiting only people that are as into this as we are so that we get no body that doesnt want to pull their weight for their team.

At this time I would like to thank you are for reading this and just leave you with this..you just got power negotiated.

p.s. heres an idea for nathan...Just get eric west to start walking ms. nathansons dog and there wont be a problem.

So Bored

Me and Nick are sitting here at the newspaper. Only no one is working on the newspaper. The entire staff is socializing away from the computers. Andre is nowhere in sight and I think I'm losing my mind. To top it off Nathan needs to use a straw to suck it up. Assasins is going to suck because no one but us is going to play. Hey andre hows this for not ranting??????? Nick said to put in Nathan Sux....and I said sexually only moments later.

Dd you guys know that in order to power negotiate you have to have or and least want to have male genitalia? I think what I'm trying to say is...Sorry Greg.

I am going to say something and I am going to stanb by it..."If you are in a hot spot what you should really do is look to the soda."

Also for the record I would like to say that assasins will suck for Nathan cuz he will die while walking his dog on the first day. Sorry Nathan but its the truth.

down on the corner

I would first like to amend "Seinfeld" onto my list of great television programs. This was sloppy reporting by me and I take full responsibility.

I would also like to mention that it is a certain person's fault that they were removed from the best assassins team. By changing the number on a team from 4 to 5, they effectively kicked themselves off the team. I would like to admit that last year I was a punk, however, it was everyone's responsibility to keep me in check. You see, I am naturally a passive person, and without a system of checks and balances, my unrestricted power was able to grow with great velocitation.

I would also like to say that "The West Wing" is much worse since that dude left - not an actor that other dude - and the "ER" producers took over. They were meant for a show like "ER", which I have been watching since 3rd grade. The show is still of high quality.

Colin Eide made a hilarious joke that I think deserves attention. Pedro Skipped out on Tim in the biology presentations. So Colin said ', we should all Pedro the cold shoulder, no one should ignore TOM like that.' I was very subtle but was still very funny (his name is TIM not TOM) and was ignored by all, I laughed on the inside.

There are three sayings to live life by

1. Why milk the cow when you have a pack of steaks in the freezer?

2. Shake it off like salt on toast.

3. A wink is the same as a nod to a blind horse.

If you all follow these three basic lessons you will all be happy and successful. You will also be able to concentrate in on important things like making fun of Nathan and power negotiating Nathan.

yesterday

I would like to point out that swassassins is never going to be started up again. Why do you think I put Nathan I charge? I do realize that he reads this and he already knew that this is why I chose him. People are to frustrated with the game last year to do it once more.

Why not to worry about the oral: it is %15 of one test that earns you a diploma that you recieve after school ends and can't count for anything. Anyone ever think that we are in special ed. and everyone else is just humoring us.

The pentagon recently released a report about mishaps with nucular bombs. Within the report it was revealed that they have been dropped over 100 times and have accidentally been shot at least once.

Birds out number people 3:1. There are over a billion Penguins in the world.

"Wag the Dog" is a good movie.

I have worn moccasins since I was in 3rd grade. Indians have been wearing them longer than any of us - American or Asian.

Not all television is bad. There are many bad shows, but about four shows are high quality. I think some people should stop trashing television considering that they are enchanted by it, like a southerner with his cousin, whenever one is on near him. Maybe if some people were not so busy looking up porn on the internet they would have time to understand the subtle nuances of the magical art of television. Has the commenter in question watched "The West Wing", "Arrested Development", "Scrubs", "The Daily Show", "Newsradio", "The Simpsons", or a little show called "Family Guy". Back off dude, TV is not going away, everybody watches it. Please, show some respect, tomarrow is Dan Rather's last day.

"If you were living in Minnesota you knew you were living in history defining itself before your eyes and you knew that you were not seeing a half-drunk buffoon perforing an old routine, but witnessing a drama which was a version of the world's drama: the old drama of power and ethics."

I can't find mini-ritz in the stores, they do have ritz dinosaurs, which are just fine. In the end, it is the simple things things I love in life.

once more into the breach, dear friends

Welcome to the collinear development strategies blog. We can use this to discuss group 4 related projects. If we want to use this we I can email you and set you up. Personnally I would like to rant about stuff.

If you are interested in buying an iPod then you should know that we get a student discount at Southwest. Go to STUDENT DISCOUNT and enter in SWHS and boom, $30 off the iPod.

Remember to study for your IB orals. If you don't, you will have to wear a lavender "IB" on your chest for the rest of your life, and your children will only serve to symbolize your failure as a human being and thus cause a curse on the house of Atreus.

I thought that spanish was a good language because of the word pantalones, but then I remembered that I can just put on a pair of trousers.

Anyone who wants Gmail. Just post somethin' and I'll help out. If you want to be able to post postings not just comments ask me.
