Jonny decided to construct a car out of meat loaf. This was no ordinary meat loaf...this was RED meat loaf! And O! the children could hear the bells ringing! Jonny ate his car, leaving the aluminum shell outside for the crows. While eating his supper, no one even knew he was inside the shed, chewing on pine needles.
God damn...im tiiiiiiiiiiiiired. Me and two friends dressed up all crazy, walked to a little league game...and got harrassed by eight year olds. Then thier parents came and told US to stop harrassing thier kids. They yelled at us, kicked us oot, and told us never to come back. I retaliated by telling them (this was at a church, by the way) that they shouldn't accuse people of things just because of the way they dress. It was bullshit! This dude approached me and asked me if I "Was under the influence of Marijuana." I said, of course not...at...the moment! He then told me to stop harrassing his kids. I told him that the kids were harrassing US, and that they called us stupid. The man said i was lying, when one of the kids approached him, and told him EXACTLY what happened. He still thought we were harrassing his kids. So i said, " Follow God's example! DON'T JUDGE PEOPLE ON THE WAY THEY DRESS!" To this, he stood there, turned red, and left. It was great!

Funnily enough, there is no specific word in the german language for mind; however, there are enough "Narrow-MINDed" people in existence over here that there is a word for that (engstirnig). Food for thought. Maybe one day people will stop being so BLIND to different ideas and the such, and start being blind to something else beneficial like color, race, or class.

That's too bad that people are that way. You can't judge a book by it's cover. I'm happy you were proven right in the matter! Hey Jay, keep dressing the way you LIKE, not the way people want you to dress.

Awesome stuff Jay!!!
My hair's getting out control. Haven't really cut it in about 6 months or more. I'm pretty sure I'm going to do something crazy with it as soon as I get home from my court date. A mowhawk maybe? Why not. Haven't decided what funky color it should be yet. I'm one of six kids in my class of over 400 who got an award for our performace on the PSAT, also I think the second highest score out of those six(with a 1350), and that will be recognized at the awards show this year. Showing up with a mohawk, having done more mind expanding substances than probably anyone else in the school, and receiving an award for academic achievement... how's that for breaking a stereotype or two.
Peace,
Patrick

Hate to break it to you......but PSATs really don't do much for ya....I only wish I get the same score on my real SATs as I did on the PSATs.....800 in math. Actually......I don't really care about SATs because I got into the college I wanted to.

They can help you get into cool summer programs for geeks. I tutored for a program like that at MIT.

My school didn't even take the SAT. We did the ACT, which I think is more or less useless outside the South. Which is where I am, so it doesn't really matter. Hell it doesn't matter now anyway because I'm out of college, but anyway...I had the highest ACT score in my county when I graduated. Not tooting my horn or anything...there were people plenty smarter than me. Maybe I just take tests well, I don't know.
But that's super cool that you're really smart and still get to not be all nerdy and stuff. I wasn't nerdy, but I wasn't mister do my own thing, either. So kudos to you.
Maybe you should do a mullet. Or do like Egyptians and shave all but a patch and either braid or put it in a ponytail.

Well, maybe not, but it still gets me recognition at the awards show and my name in the paper. I only scored 10 points lower on the real thing anyway though. And that doesn't really do anything for me either. Full Sail, as awesome as it is, doesn't require SATs I don't think.
Peace,

When it comes down to it, the highest ACT in my county isn't saying that much. It's a small county (maybe MAYBE 30,000 people) and they are mostly redneck dumbasses. So my competition was minimal.

Oh and on a side note, I was third in my class of 80 (yes, eighty). I took all the hard classes and everything and my damn girlfriend beat me for salutatorian by two one hundredths of a point. I think I had a 98.6 average and she had a 98.8 average for high school. Ok now maybe I'm tooting my horn.

PSAT's can indeed help you besides getting into a summer nerd program: it's also the "National Merit Award" test, so you can get tons of scholarships. Either way, I didn't qualify, but I did better on the real SAT (or I should say SAT I since they changed it a bit), just food for thought. And don't tell me that's from Pootie Tang...

My advice is to crank high scores on SAT's. I'm presently trying to get into Johns Hopkins graduate school. I have a BS a BSN and part of a Master's degree, been on the Deans list all thru college. Have work experiences from my present job that have been nationally recognized and JH wants to see my SAT scores. At this point I don't think they should matter but they do! EEK and as you can probably tell....I didn't do so well on them..."but I'm smart now really I is"

Patrick I would suggest you appear in court with a nice clean cut hair and dress appropriately for the court. Then when you are done go for the mohawk or what ever makes you happy! I really don't want to see you judged unfairly. You are a very intelligent dude, work the system!

I must say there are many very intelligent folks that post here.
I guess I'm not too shabby myself. I graduated from college with a 4.0 GPA. I was also honored as the outstanding student in my class.

Hey Liz!!! By the way THANX for the music you sent my secret squirrel. He's sooooo nice he let me take the CD home with me weeks ago and I can't get enough of it. You're awesome. Let me know what you'd like for live music(many bands, many shows) and I'll send you something.
I'm hoping to not have to live in Baltimore, I don't like it that well there. One of the programs I'm interested in is strictly online. I've been applying for jobs in many other states so I'm not sure where I'll end up and online is the way to go.
And we do have a bunch of intelligent chaps here don't we. It's partly why this board is so fun.....Smart is sexy!!!!!!!!!!!

Evergreen I just adore your secret squirrel! You are so lucky to have such an amazing and wonderful friend! Glad you enjoy the music! Somehow I screwed up one song on it, so once I get my musicmatch program working again I'll be sending a revised copy. I'm very interested in trading some music with you. If I ever get my DMB shows converted I'll gladly get you hooked up with them!
Baltimore is an entirely different world from where you live, but it's a nice city. I hope the online classes work out for you.

Magic Mountain in LA..thats my latest wish. 2 new coasters X and Deja Vu. They both look sooooo fun. Maybe you've seen them if your checking 6 Flags parks. I want to find a coaster that has speakers for loud music mounted on the shoulder harnesses somewhere. Blast a little Tool during the ride...wouldn't that be the shit?

Oh yes, the system will be worked! Like I said, if I do it it'll probably be the day I have court, but not until I get home. But yes, I'll have to get a picture of me that day... I'll probably never look so preppy again.
Peace,
Patrick
