...fuck it, i want a snicker's dark chocolate right now, where's my wallet?
(this is me doing lines of work back to back but every five minutes i think, "ok, i'm going to stop and take a quick break"
yeah, funny thing is... i'm writing this right now?!??!?!?!
DAMN IT!!!
ok bye!

facebook hahaha!!
hey there!! i remember you back in high school, we were good friends... man we had some great times together now that i think about it. (click on face, go to dude's profile). (next to name,"Add Friend"). Uh, that's funny, i thought i added you already... i mean i could swear that i added you a looooooooooooooong time ago... oh shit, maybe... maybe i did but i did something stupid and you blocked me... no wait! i can still add you, so it's not a block but maybe... delete? whatever. (click "Add Friend", click "add comment", type "hey stranger, remember when we did that cool shit back in high school and we were really cool and dude if yer a bitch, i'll delete YOU next!!)
the end.
the end.

new work
running expo and busing tables @ the Boat Yard in Oshkosh. yesterday was my first day working and it's intense, which is good because hard work makes time fly. ok, part time job has been taken care of and now i just need to wait for the rest of my plans to fall in place.
p.s. if you borrow an open bike from the rack make sure the pedals are securely screwed in, otherwise your ankle is going to take a digger :)

it's a fast-paced world out there
baby, until you can proclaim your love for me in front of anyone and everyone, i'll hold it back with you. it's hard when i think about you all the time, but your friends make you who you are because it's still you i'm talking to. when you're quiet around them i get knots inside, and of course i trust you, i'm just wondering why?
i love you.
You too.
i love you.
You too.

how to generate electricity: glass tube and water
Water Through Glass Tube = Power
As water passes through the tube, tiny amounts of glass - itself a supercooled liquid - 'dissolve' into the water. That gives the surface of the tube a positive charge, which attracts negative ions in the water

Boffins discover true power of water
Posted: 20/10/2003 at 15:44 GMT
Canadian scientists have discovered how to generate electricity - by nothing more than pushing water through a fine glass tube.
As water passes through the tube, tiny amounts of glass - itself a supercooled liquid - 'dissolve' into the water. That gives the surface of the tube a positive charge, which attracts negative ions in the water. The flow of the water carries the positive ions onward, resulting in a net difference in charge between the two ends of the tube. That difference amounts to a voltage of around 10V.
Connect both ends of the tube to a circuit, and the voltage drives a current, albeit a tiny one: only one thousandth of an amp, reports University of Alberta Professor Larry Kostiuk, leader of the team that made the discovery in the Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering today.
Team member Daniel Kwok is credited with laying the ground work for the team's findings.
The team produced electricity using gravity to push the water through the tube. At a height of 30cm the water column pulled through the tube this way was enough to light a low-power bulb.
That's not enough to do any real work, but by assembling thousand of tubes together, this 'electrokinetic' technique could be used to generate useful amounts of electricity. Kostiuk told The Times that he doubts the technique will replace other forms of electricity generation, but he believes it may well one day prove useful as a way of powering microengines or recharging small electronic devices such a cellphones. ®
what about making a way for electricity to pass through glass? extension cords that use magnets to hold their connections with each other through a pane of glass.
