Wow, First semester of college is almost over.....thats insane because movein feels kind of like last week. It just blew by me incredibly fast, but I was lucky in that I got three kick ass roomates to put up with me and my guitar playing at various hours of the night and other sorts of quirks. So looking back on the term, I've come to the conclusion that I love sleep much more than work and food more than both. I had more spare time than I thought I would, I even found time to figure out how to record on Garageband. I now have nine songs that I like that I've written, I guess an album, sort of? But whatever, if you want to hear them, hit me up with an email, and I could send you some. But enough self promotion, I have mixed feelings about going home for six odd weeks over break. Its going to feel really weird because Rohnert Park feels like home, and it'll be an extremely long break. PLUS, all you other people that I hang out with from high school will go back to school, and I'll be stuck home for another month. Lame. Very very lame.

Oh well, good luck for everyone's finals!

Wow. I can only take so much guitar hero, until ghII comes out, then its showtime! But anyways, playing real guitar makes me happier. But seriously, the game is like heroin. Addictive, and you just need more and more, but i'm gonna try and quit cold turkey, and watch colbert report clips online instead. YAY COLBERT REPORT! Heehee. So yah, we're talking about Marx in anthropology and class and junk, and of course, i'm IMing people. So my buddy Bernice tells me that she's in a far more interesting, and possibly disturbing class. Let's leave it at rat sex with pictures. Now i'm wondering if we have a similar class up here at sonoma, and whether i should take it.

(Backstage. Amy Poehler, Chris Parnell and Jason Sudeikis are talking. Antonio Banderas runs into them)

Amy: Oh, good job, Antonio!

Chris: Really good!

Jason: Yeah, really good.

Antonio: Doing sketch comedy is easy, you know maybe I´ll do this for a living. Anyway, I´ve gotta go. Gotta go. See you later.

Jason: OK, see you. That´s great. (Antonio leaves)

Chris: See what I mean?

Amy: Now I do.

Jason: What do you guys mean?

Chris: The foreigner thinks he can do our job?

Jason: Oh, I don´t think that´s what he meant.

Amy: No. They all do. I´m tired of these Mexicans coming into our country and taking our jobs.

Jason: You know, first of all, Antonio is not Mexican.

Amy: Yeah, he is!

Chris: Definitely is! Looks like one.

Jason: No, he´s Spanish, all right. And secondly, you guys are racist.

Chris: Oh, are we? Wait 'til they take your job.

Amy: Yeah, yeah. If NBC had its way, this whole cast would be border-jumping Mexicans. (Horatio Sanz joins them) Yo, Horatio! What´s up, man! (Highs five him)

Horatio: What´s up, guys?

(Fred Armisen talks directly into the camera as Amy, Jason and Chris leave)

Fred: I´ll tell you what´s up! My name´s Fred Armisen. (Antonio Banderas joins in)

Antonio: Hi, I am Antonio Banderas.

Horatio: And I am "Horacio" Sanz.

Antonio: In the coming weeks, as the issue of illegal inmigration takes center stage in American politics, you are going to hear many sides to this difficult issue.

Fred: Much of what you hear will not be the truth. Politics will color the debate, making it harder for all of us to understand the real issue.

Horatio: No matter what anyone says, there is no simple solution to this problem.

Antonio: What we know is this: we are coming, and we´re going to take your job.

Horatio,/b>: We are also planning to have sex with your women and make lots of babies. Which you´ll pay with your tax dollars.

Antonio: But that has long been the plan.

Fred: Many of us are criminals. And we intend to cut you with knives.

Horatio: And flood your cities with drugs.

Antonio: But there is no fight in this. It was a plan we all came up with and we all agree was the best plan, right?

Horatio: Yes.

Fred: I´m not really an illegal alien, but my mother´s Venezuelan and she used to tell me this great plan when I was a child. Take their jobs, cut them with knives, drugs.

Antonio: And make babies.

Horatio: Hopefully, this will put an end to the debate. There is no solution.

Fred: Only the plan.

Antonio: Thank you for listening, and remember The Alamo.

(Fred, Horatio and Antonio join hands in big Latin support)

Har har.

Narrator: September, 1944. The allied forces embark on Operation Marketgarden, a surprise airborne assault on German troops in Holland and Belgium. If the attack was going to succeed, the allies needed all the help it could get.

[ show host, Sir Kenneth Chandler, seated in his study ]

Sir Kenneth Chandler: In August of 1944, the British advance troops joined forces with an underseas command unit from Krapog. The Poles, of course, hated the Germans and were eager to help. But, sadly, they all perished. It seems that, due to a crucial design flaw, the Polish had built their submarines with screen doors. More than 70 men died that day.

Narrator: With Poland unable to assist, the Allies turned to Greece for help.

Sir Kenneth Chandler: The Greeks had a tremendous sense of brotherhood and fraternity. The men were very close to one another - after all, their motto was "Never Leave Your Buddy's Behind". Soldiers of all ages fought together. Why, among the Greek soldiers, the only way to separate the men from the boys was with a crowbar.

Narrator: The reinforcements helped, but as the operation wore on, Allied casualties mounted.

Private Louis Jones: Why did so many African-Americans die in the war? I'll tell you: every time they started firing on us, Sarge would yell, "Get down!", and me and my friends would jump up and start dancing. I watched six of my best friends die while doing the Funky Chicken.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Ward: We were outside Demengen, and a friend of mine, a Jewish guy named Goldblat.. he stepped on a landmine, and.. we rushed over to him, and he was lying there bleeding - there was nothing we could do. We asked Goldblat, "Are you comfortable?" And he said, "Ah, I make a decent living." He died in my arms.

Narrator: The operation was proving to be too ambitious. Pockets of Allied airborne troops were surrounded. Many were taken prisoner.

Lieutenant Colonel Gniewko Lubecki: [ speaking in German, translated into English ] My entire Polish realm was captured in . A friend of mine, a friend who grew up right down the street from me in Warsaw, was driven insane in the prison. They put my friend Stanislaus in a round room, and told him to sit in a corner. But it was a round room! There was no corner! Where was he to sit?! He took his own life.

Narrator: The Allied units, under great duress, still managed to find joy in simple pleasures, like Christmas dinner. It meant a lot to the troops, especially the 101st at Osterly.

Sir Kenneth Chandler V/O: [ over re-creation ] A soldier named Patrick O’Harrington, prepared a traditional Irish seven-course meal - a potato and a six-pack of beer. Burritos and tacos were provided by Felipe Gonzalez, who invited 300 of his Mexican friends from the 94th Infantry. More would have come, but they only had two jeeps.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Ward: That was some kind of unit, we had people from all over.. we had a half-Italian, half-Pole named Antonio Wojcesak. He made me an offer I couldn’t understand. There was Pepe Chun, a half-Hispanic, half-Asian who stole an enemy Jeep but he couldn’t drive it. Then there was my friend Elmer Watkins from Alabama. He spent all of his time writing to his wife, and his sister, and his mother. He only had to write to one person. War is hell.

Narrator: Next week on the History Channel - an examination of Chinese beverage contamination warfare, entitled "Me Chinese, Me Play Joke, Me Put Pee-Pee In Your Coke."


har. har. har.

Hello everyone...or no-one. I've decided to open up a new blog, so forget my xanga, and i don't particularly like myspace blogs, and facebook is getting freaky. So yeah. Anyhoo, I'm in my Anthropology class at Sonoma State University, and we are talking about linguistics, for the third class period in a row. We tend to revisit the same topic for lengthy periods of time.
Yeah, so I'm in my freshman year, and so far so great. I'm loving it here, and I think my friends from home or 4H should visit. Hmph. I said it, now come up and visit me. So, I guess I should go back to paying attention now, so goodbye all.
