That's right folks...NFB has wrecked his vehicle! But I swear to you it wasn't my fault!(However I was the one to recieve the ticket) Let me explain.
I am in the inside left turn lane turning off of a 4 lane road onto another 4 lane road with 2 lanes going each way. There is a median in between them. There are also 2 turn lanes and as I said I was on the inside one. I was the 2nd car, behind an Oldsmobile. Turn signal turns green, car in front of me proceeds and I do as well. One is not expecting a car to suddonly slam on their brakes in the middle of a busy intersection....one should have.
A pedestrian ran out in front of the woman in front of me and I did not see it. The woman slammed on her brakes and NFB had approximately .2 seconds to react. I braked as well but not in time. I nailed her. I banged her up real good. Half her trunk is smashed in, her rear and back windows busted out..yada yada yada. Oh and more fun news the "cause" of the accident, (The dumb earfoned pedestrian) fled the scene. Luckily we had witnesses.
So appearantly it's a rule in Carbondale(and probably everywhere else) that anytime there is vehicle damage a ticket must be issued. Well me being the one who rear ended the woman, I recieved the ticket. Yeah..I'm thrilled. So lets break this down for you here...
Someone can actually HIT a pedestrian and not recieve a ticket. (Not to mention go on living life as if nothing ever happened, never apologize about it, and continue their "my crap dont stink" attitude) *cough* cough* But if someone aviods hitting the pedestrian, and it results in a vehicle collission, a ticket is issued.
Geez this world is messed up. Noone was injured in the acciden so for that I am thankful. Sorry for the little outburst above..just had to let it out ;)
Oh did I mention Nathan has liability only??....Yeahhhhhhhhh....
So you might think I'm just being a baby...but in my opinion I've got a RIGHT to sing the blues. It's that time agin...another Microbiology test! This is Test 3...It is over Antibiotics, Chemotherapy, Microbe-Human Interactions:Infection and Disease, Classification of Infectious Diseases, and the Nature of Host Defenses....
So..not only am I forced to put up with this crap..but it is no longer going to be useful to me..YES FOLKS YOU HEARD ME RIGHT NFB HAS CHANGED HIS MAJOR AGAIN!! Well not really changed..but reverted. I have decided I no longer want to be in the medical field because I am too lazy to do all the work required..simple enough eh. So now NFB is in two classes, Microbiology and Medical Terminology which are absolutely worthless...I love my life.
For your viewing pleasure, I have enclosed a picture of my stack of notes that I have been studying for this test. And for size comparison, a DVD case.
Thicker than a DVD case...and thats on finely printed printer paper...and you know how small the font is?? 12 PT. Absolutely Rediculous.
PS? - Does anyone know if the Puckett Scholarship that is given out in Fairfield every year has a GPA requirement? I fear I may be treading on thin ice with this one..Oh and mother..you can kiss that "Good Student Insurance Discount" goodbye as well. Ciao!
Well the thunder rolled through again last night. The mighty winds weren't mighty enough...the trailer park still stands..:) Looks like another round is in the vicinity as i speak(or type) That's about all that is going on in the life of NFB at the present time. I am still recovering from the death of Whizzle Dizzle? And donations can still be made to the fund. The Leaky Couldron is also rumored to be going on hiatus...why people why?
I have made my Fall schedule...heres the rundown of classes: Computer Concepts(Sorry had to throw an easy one in there) Creating Ad Messages International Media Systems(I'm somewhat worried) Visual Literacy Child Psychology(I love kids..couldn't care less about whats going on inside their heads...alas I shall learn)
Man Discovers Best Friend's Blog Dead ; Thousand's Mourn
CARBONDALE (Reuters) - Nathan B., president of CSAWM International was on his way to a routine visit to the offices of Whizzle Dizzle? when he immediately noticed something wasnt right. "The parking lot was empty," he said "I knew something had obviously gone wrong." Upon arrival at the doors of their offices, Nathan says he saw what can only be described as a "scene from one of those creepy psychological thriller movies."

"It was all gone..everything was gone. So I called the president of Whizzle Dizzle?, Herschel French." Nathan says after discovering the office space abandoned. Herschel failed to give a comment that would justify such actions, the typical "It was time" was relayed. We later learned that appearantly, President Herschel arrived for work early this morning, and informed his staff that it was their last day. Many are left in wonder of the status of their retirement and pension accounts. "It's a real mess!" an editor tell us. "We thought we had one of the most secure jobs around. We were Whizzle Dizzle? Everything was only looking up." These events remind us of the horrors that occurred only a few short years ago of Houston based Enron Corp's filing for bankrupcy leaving thousands unemployed and penniless.
Above is all that the viewers were left with, a short message and a Closed sign.
"I guess one would call this a suicide," Nathan exclaims. "I just cant' believe it, I never knew Whizzle Dizzle? to be suicidal." An outpooring of greif and support for the family and friends of those involved has been expressed. Julie Shreve, an avid reader expressed her concern over not being able to hear about the Summer events that will take place. Dena G. loved Whizzle Dizzle? for its thought provoking and inspirational thoughts.
A memorial fund has been established in the name of Whizzle Dizzle? Monetary donations can be made to the "Whizzle Dizzle? Fund for the Advancement of Come Sail Away With Me Incorporated's President Nathan B. and His Ability to Pay College Tuition", or "WDFACSAWMIPNBHAPCT."
Perhaps this is why people don't like Christians...
As many of you know, on network television today there are many reality shows. Many are copycats of each other. Such is the case with Wife Swap and Fox's Trading Spouses. Last Fall, Trading Spouses aired an episode that stirred up quite a bit of discussion at the dinner table.
As the title of the show suggests, the deal is the wifes from 2 families trade family's for a short period of time. The point is that they are to learn to appreciate what they have and all that yada yada. The producers of the show love to pick two completely opposite women, just to make it interesting. Well during said episode, they traded a very devout Christian mother with one who is into Scientology, hypnotism, witchcraft, and many others. We don't get to see this lady in the video, but I will say that she was an extremely nice individual. She did not push her beliefs on the family, and she was very kind.
The below video is of the Christian mother Margaret as she is returning to her family.
I'm sure you have all heard about the cheerleader accident last weekend at the conference game. If not, an SIUC cheerleader fell from a 3 story pyramid all the way down to the floor. She was injured pretty good, but what's really interesting is as she was being carried away on the stretcher, she was doing the cheers with her arms. Broken ribs, vertibrates, and neck didn't hinder her school spirit.
This accident has led to new rules being made regarding cheerleading pyramids and stunts. She has gained national attition. The video and news stories have been featured on all the major news networks (CNN, MSNBC, FOX, Headline News) The girl that fell was on the Today Show with Katie Couric, and the video was Ellen's "Video of the Week" on the Ellen Show. Also if you head over to MSN.com it is the main story on the page.
The world will forever remember SIUC and their ushering in of new cheerleading laws. I am proud to be a Saluki!
