Today i am god

this is me just hanging out under the saturn 'v' rocket at the kennedy space centre in florida, neil and buzz flew this baby, what a ride!

















this is at the budweiser factory,












the donkey and the elephant are the two symbols of both the US government parites
the elephant is republican (lincoln, bush) and the donkey is democrat (clinton, kerry) maybe they look so angry is because there is still beer left in the glass! take a look, they must still be sober.

















this is general lee's bed, his house is in the middle of arlington national war memorial/cemetry, which is just across the river from washington d.c. the h.q of the union, and lee was living there married to george washingtons daughter or grand daughter , i forget, so after he left as the civil war was breaking and went to richmond ,,which is the capital of virginia, to base the confederate war, the union thought they would show some disrespect and burry their dead in the backyard of his house, and they still do to this day, dam yankees. richmond and d.c are incredibly close to each other, even in the day of horses, so boths sides of the civil war had their h.q's within in stones throw of each other, by car it takes about five hours.






-New poll- there is a new poll, it's tough, i was speaking to a friend and he said 9/11 had caused an escalation in religious violence so he would stop that from happening, but maybe if you stop jesus being born you could stop many more religioun justified wars, or if he didnt get killed he
would have gone on to lead a normal life and die from something simple like tripping down some stairs at a bar and everyone would see that he was just some farout dude without powers and we don't have to constantly repent ourselves for the sins he burdened on himself in death, and there might be a little less anti semetic sentiment if that happened. * anti-semetic not anti-zionisism
its hard being god ,

--and if you stopped the discovery of gunpowder there would be a halt to a mass scale means of violence but wars would still continue and eventually you have to suspect something similar would be discovered. but gunpowder can't be discovered if you choose it on the poll, because you're god and you're choosing for it never to be discovered.
--kennedy had many polocies in place but i'm sure he could have done more,
--and daryl sommers who doesn't want to blast him into space??
--being a part time existentialist i chose to do nothing.

-newcastle high, i forgot to mention earlier too that dean rowes' brother is here! sam rowe, i think he works at arnolds with handley, he is doing architecturefor one semester on exchange like me, apparently uva has the sixth best architecture school in the country,he was two years below us at newcastle high, we both joined the surf club but i havent been bothered going to any meetings, i have bumped into him a couple of times on campus, it just brings back memories of dean rowe i thought that guy would end up with leather shoes (that local newcastle vagrant who wears flip flops but his feet are so black it looks like he is wearing leather shoes)-he certainly was special, but i heard he is skinny now and has his life on track,

- fun fact no23.- uva also has the sixth best law school in the nationrobert kennedy the brother of jfk, is one of the more famous law school graduates

quotes

'Of all the weapons in the vast soviet arsenal, nothing was more profitable than Avtomat Kalashnikova model of 1947. More commonly known as the AK-47, or Kalashnikov. It's the world's most popular assault rifle. A weapon all fighters love. An elegantly simple 9 pound amalgamation of forged steel and plywood. It doesn't break, jam, or overheat. It'll shoot whether it's covered in mud or filled with sand. It's so easy, even a child can use it; and they do. The Soviets put the gun on a coin. Mozambique put it on their flag. Since the end of the Cold War, the Kalashnikov has become the Russian people's greatest export. After that comes vodka, caviar, and suicidal novelists. One thing is for sure, no one was lining up to buy their cars. '

Peter Griffin: Well, I'm gettin' something really special too. And by special I don't mean special like that Kleinaman boy down the street. More special like... like Special K, the cereal. Hey, what do they do with the regular K? And for that matter, what ever happend to K. Ballard? You know, if you said mallard and you had a cold, it would sound like ballard.
Brian: Do you listen to yourself when you talk?
Peter Griffin: I drift in and out.

-the special i meant with dean rowe is similar to the kleinaman boy.
