Yes I have rediscovered bold type
I have just finished the last metric spaces assignment ever!!! And there was much rejoicing.
And that means only one more maths assignment in my life ever. Unfortunately maths is not totally out of my life as there is the tiny matter of exams and the fact that the tosspots have clumped them all together on one day *snarl* and I have to learn and understand a years worth of stuff. First exams in a month. Damn. Last day tomorrow though so am walking around with a big grin on my face.

Fight The Power
I'm having mixed feeling right now.
I'm Angry, Tired, and Stressed.
I'm also thankful that My best friend Colby is okay after his first accident.
Deep inside I'm seething, I won't mentioned his name. Let's call him, "M" and he is with me in Mr,S's class. yes he is chubby and he could kick my ass. Instead of being a little shit and doing this whole "guerilla" warfare against me, I want him to confront me personally. I want to know just what the hell is his problem with me,
Oh yeah, Did I mention that i feel like a total outsider in "S" class. As a result, of me being a poor motherfucker and having a shitty computer, I don't think what my fellow classmates understand about my feeling is that you should be happy with what you have. Like a computer, I'm lucky to have a damn computer with Internet.
Did I mention that I FUCKING HATE ALMOST ALL COUNTRY MUSIC? If I have to hear that goddamn "cowgirl" song one more time, I'll skull fuck the station manager. Goddamn, Today's country songs either border on being jingostic or being a sad country bumpkin or something like that.

JUST REMEBER KIDS: LIFE IS UNFAIR,LIVE WITH IT.
Oh, yes. The job I applied at buffalo's? I got it. and then after two weeks, i was promptly fired. WHY? Because according to the Kitchen manager,"I was too slow."
Here's the disturbing part, They've been talking about for awhile. But, It was kind of them to call me on my day off and tell I'm fired and that I didn't have to work the rest of the week.
Thanks, Miles and Gloria, for screwing me over.
Because of you,I now have a "Job security" Complex. Also, you have stirred up a cauldron of Odium. I have one question to ask: How long were these dicussions going on? If i had inkling of what was going on, I would've quit.
But the other people at Buffalo's, (like Cooks, waiter, and front people) have been really nice to me. It's a damn shame, they have to work with such Backstabbing managers.
School is about to start. I doubt Dad will be able to pay my school fine. (Which is around 60 some-odd dollars)
But that's just me.
Rock Wall climbing is fun. I tried today at the mall, and you know what? Once you get started, all you worry about is if the next climber-thingy will be big enough for your hands.
I got halfway before I quit.
When they were getting my straps off, I was shaking like a leaf. Even when Me,Mom and Matt where going around in the outdoorsman shop, looking at things, I was still shaking.
I Still can't believe I did it.
But I had a revelation after it. Maybe it was the adrenalin that was still rushing to my head. But, If I can pass the driver's test, I could still be in the road to self-improvement. If I can overcome my fears and stay on the right path, I could actually become successful.

Do you really need to detox?
Place a Kinoki footpad on the sole of your foot before bed, “and by morning the pad will have collected toxins from your body.” Or so said one ad for this widely advertised product. Problem is there’s no good evidence to back up the promise. And the ad is hardly the only one to make dubious claims about a product’s ability to “detoxify” the body. Indeed, proponents of detoxification often make sweeping statements “for which there is no substantive evidence,” says Robert S. Baratz, M.D., Ph.D., president of the National Council Against Health Fraud.
Our medical consultants question whether the body even needs detoxification. “The notion that you can and should flush out your arteries or your intestines may seem plausible but it’s not,” says Edzard Ernst, M.D., Ph.D., professor of complementary medicine at Peninsula Medical School in Exeter, England.
For example, many people think that the liver and kidney act as physical filters that trap potential toxins, such as alcohol, drugs, and other chemicals—hence the idea that you can detoxify them by fasting, for example, or by taking certain supplements. And the idea that the body needs to detox, central to traditional medicine in China, India, and elsewhere, has been adopted by some alternative-medicine practitioners in the West.
But science does not support the idea that those organs are lint traps for toxins and require cleaning. Instead, the liver converts toxins into compounds that are eliminated through the bile and urine, and the kidneys separate the substances that the body needs from harmful or unnecessary ones, which they eliminate. Here’s our take on three common forms of detoxification.
Detox diets
Fasting for a day or so is generally not harmful and might shake you out of an unhealthy eating pattern. But detox diets often involve severe caloric restrictions for a week or more. Moreover, while some focus on fresh produce and whole grains, others drastically limit the foods you eat. Such diets can lead to nutrient deficiencies, blood-sugar problems, severe diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue.
Colon cleansing
Some people regularly take laxatives or give themselves enemas to prevent supposedly harmful substances from building up in the gut. But those treatments are generally useful only in treating occasional constipation. When administered frequently, laxatives and enemas might prevent normal bowel movements and lead to a potentially deadly depletion of vital electrolytes. Coffee enemas have been linked to several deaths due to extreme electrolyte imbalance and infection.
Even riskier is colonic irrigation, a procedure in which a machine pumps water into the rectum through a sterile tube, flushing out the entire colon. We could find no study to support its use to enhance general health. Moreover, in addition to sharing all the dangerous side effects of laxatives and enemas, colonic irrigation might cause bacterial infections from contaminated equipment, and perforation of the rectum, sometimes even resulting in death.
Chelation therapy
This treatment introduces chemicals into the body that will bind with toxic metals, allowing them to be eliminated during excretion. It has been used since the 1950s to treat acute poisoning from lead and iron. Early uncontrolled studies suggested that it might help treat cardiovascular disease, and proponents say it also helps treat autism, cancer, and diabetes.
But we could find no solid research to support such claims. For example, some practitioners administer the chemical EDTA to try to remove calcium from artery-clogging plaque deposits. But several clinical trials show that chelation therapy is ineffective against leg pain stemming from clogged leg arteries.
And research has identified several risks of the treatment, including bone loss, abnormal heartbeat, and death.

Hehe. Sober again
Last few days have been internetless. M's place has dialup but I have not been able to dial up due to shitely placed phone sockets. Argh. Off to the parents tonight. Wedding at the weekend and too much damned revision in between. But at least I will be able to drop into Ikea today and spend money on stuff I don't really need. Talking of stuff I don't need, I am in the process of buying a computer. Well, actually, I do need one. My laptop is currently without USB hole, floppy hole and DVD hole because they're all knackered. So that means no way of getting any information off the computer. No printer. No DVD rewriter. No nothing. Apart from the internet. Oh yeah, and the battery died two years ago so it isn't mobile. It has a maximum radius around the socket in the wall.
I am thinking about a Tiny hot sexy computer. I wish that they wouldn't put effing Works with everything because it is crap and I just can't cope with it.

I am an "inspector". Fear me.
Oooh. Interesting. I took the Myers Briggs personality type test four years ago and got the same result. ISTJ. I'm not that traditionalist and closeminded. Honest! Click here for more exciting information...
As do other Introverted Thinkers, ISTJs often give the initial impression of being aloof and perhaps somewhat cold. Effusive expression of emotional warmth is not something that ISTJs do without considerable energy loss....ISTJs are easily frustrated by the inconsistencies of others, especially when the second parties don't keep their commitments. But they usually keep their feelings to themselves unless they are asked. And when asked, they don't mince words. Truth wins out over tact.
ISTJ - "Trustee". Decisiveness in practical affairs. Guardian of time- honored institutions. Dependable. 11.6% of total population.
