Greetings and salutations friends, enemies, internet predators, Mark Foley, Larry Craig, and other folks who might be reading this blog
I apollogize for my lack of recent posting but I have been exceptionally busy with B&B rehersals, homework, Eagle Project Planning, and the like. This past month has been a rather blury haze (not purple!) of confusion, frustration, and exhaustion. I have been attempting to reach escape velocity from the academic nightmare that was last semester. I averaged out my semester grades and they turned out to be a rather low B. With all my target schools being rather high on the G.P.A. requirement list I personally cannot afford to have anymore semesters of this quality. However my second semester classes are actually shaping up to be quite descent. Spanish 2 is insanely easy and H. Chemistry is something of a joke at the moment. Anyway I leave you with some wisdom from everyone's favorite Amarican president.
"I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure." (uh, duh)
"I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we're really talking about peace. " (hmmm?)
"When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It's going to be decisive."
-George W. Bush-

Huzzah to Signore Tueting
If you guys have yet to read it, Mr. T has posted a second smackdown post against ghost. I am amazed by his ability to disect then rip it into the little tiny pieces of shit that pile together to make one massive manure pile. That said I wish he could condense it down so us yutes could read it in a timely manner. I hope all you blog members will pray with me (sorry Zach) that Ann Coulter will visit Tueting's humble establishment and write something trully worthy of a Tueting smackdown.
I HATE HAVING A COLD!
I absolutely despise colds. Colds can burn in the fiery abyss with Ann Coulter. They can rot in hell with Green Day and Fall Out Boy. It makes me feel like absolute s**t with the aches and constant sneezing not to mention sinus pressure. Anyway the 4 day vacation was much needed. I got caught up on sleep, played DnD, saw Sweeney Todd (absolutely kickass!), and had my Eagle Project reviewed. In spite of my cold the all day musical rehersals turned out to be rather fun. We go a lot of the choreography for Gaston done and I think the end result with look awesome. We also managed to flatten out some of the wrinkles in Belle and the Mob Song. In short I don't think we will have a last minute change in choreography this year. On to Sweeney Todd. For someone who has had little experience doing musical productions my hat goes off to Johnny Depp for a creepy yet incredible perfomance. The dude who played the sailor has an amazing voice and Helen Bonham Carter did a great job as Ms. Lovitt. Well enough of that. I sincerely hope my faithful readers will find the time to vote in my poll (that means you Tim, Katie, Andy, and Zach.)

Quetzalcoatl Says (pt. 2)
Glaring down from his monstrous throne he stares through your transparent mortal skin. His eyes demanding sacrifice. His face full of twisted rage and contempt. "Infidels, come back to the true faith," takes a harsh breath, "Do you not know what is coming?, your doom is near," with a puff of smoke he vanishes.

Riding a Crest
Well right now I am sitting at the computer in the library rather bored and amused. Some how those emotions have seemed to go hand in hand lately. Any way I am supposed to be in English but nothing is going on right now so I figured I would come down and talk to my peeps. So as I think and ponder I start to wonder about all the pressing stuff I know I need to do but never seem to find the time or the energy to do. Even so most of that is stupid s**t that is rather unimportant compared to the following:
1. Eagle Project
2. My H. Pre-Calc. Exam
3. Cleaning my hovel
4. Putting away Christmas Stuff
5. Finding time to train for Philmont
6. Musical
7. College Visits
8. Finding time for myself
9. Sleeping
10. Eating
Regardless I still want to find a day to go see Sweeny Todd or Charlie Wilson's War, go biking/Backpacking, get guitar lessons, and/or voice lessons. This to me seems to be a bit of a tall order so I think a bit of time to prioritize would be good.
Today I will leave you with some quotes from one of my favorite modern presidents.
"Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. "
"A man does what he must - in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures - and that is the basis of all human morality. "
"I'm an idealist without illusions."
-John F. Kennedy

Sheep Dung, Turkey Carcasses, and Deer Droppings, oh my!
Well this weekend turned out to be pretty fun actually (I'll come to the droppings shortly.) I went to the Klondike Sled Race in Fort Sibert W.V.A. with my Boy Scout Troop. We arrived and setup our stuff on Friday dug out a 5' by 6' fire pit and I was exceptionally proud of my single match fire started with damp wood and little kindling or tinder. Much to my surprise on Saturday morning to find the entire camp strewn with the carcasses of turkeys and droppings of an insideous and unavoidably numerous nature. We got up at about 6:30, got a fire going, and cooked pancakes and bacon over the fire. Afterwards my patrol as Venture Crew 40 went around with some Webelos Cub Scouts and helped them with all of the skills stations. Unfortunately I did not find the time to go to the target range and shoot the black pouder rifles that were avaliable, (A history connection, Huzzah to Mr. Tueting.) After a lunch of vegetable soup and grilled ham and cheese we had the sled race. In all of the Klondikes I have participated in this had the most beastly sled course. It was a little over a mile long and was extremely muddy. The most insane part was this really steep and tall hill. Imagine the hill beside Keister only taller and a bit steeper at points. Add in mud, trees, and rocks and an insanely steep sprinting descent to the finish. Anyway this post has gone on for far to long and I will leave with a quote from everyone's favorite dictator.
Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries. -Adolf Hitler

Hello, Hello
Dear my most valued and apreciated readers,
As you can see my blog has had a bit of a face-lift but I could use some additional suggestions to propel it into the 27th. century. Anything short of an endorsement of Ron Paul is suitible for consideration.
Peace,
K.A.B.K.

The Poll
I apologize to Mr. Tueting for stealing his poll thing but I stumbled on this by accident and thought it would be interesting.
"It is always more difficult to fight against faith than against knowledge." - Adolf Hitler
Well hello my faithful readers. I am curently reading (much to my disdain and amusement) the article on evolution in Conservapedia. Here are a couple quotes from the article that can be used to sum it up.
Although the defenders of the theory of evolution contend there is evidence that supports the theory of evolution, there are many who are against the theory of evolution and state there are many problems with the theory of evolution. For example, an article by CBS News begins with the observation that, "Americans do not believe that humans evolved, and the vast majority says that even if they evolved, God guided the process. Just 13 percent say that God was not involved.'"
(How this proves evolution false I have no idea. )
Grasse regards the "unceasing mutations" to be "merely hereditary fluctuations around a median position; a swing to the right, a swing to the left, but no final evolutionary effect."
...many evolutionary propagandists are guilty of the deceitful practice of equivocation, that is, switching the meaning of a single word (evolution) part way through an argument. A common tactic, ‘bait-and-switch,’ is simply to produce examples of change over time, call this ‘evolution,’ then imply that the GTE [General Theory of Evolution] is thereby proven or even essential, and creation disproved. The PBS Evolution series and the Scientific American article are full of examples of this fallacy.
(What the crap?)
"no matter how many "bits" of possible combinations it has, there is no reason to call it "information" if it doesn't at least have the potential of producing something useful. What kind of information produces function? In computer science, we call it a "program." Another name for computer software is an "algorithm." No man-made program comes close to the technical brilliance of even Mycoplasmal genetic algorithms. Mycoplasmas are the simplest known organism with the smallest known genome, to date. How was its genome and other living organisms' genomes programmed? "- David L. Abel and Jack T. Trevors, “Three Subsets of Sequence Complexity and Their Relevance to Biopolymeric Information,” Theoretical Biology & Medical Modelling, Vol. 2, 11 August 2005, page 8
Even the prominent evolutionist and geneticist Professor Richard Lewontin admitted the following:
“ "We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is an absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door." - Richard Lewontin, ‘Billions and billions of demons’, The New York Review, January 9, 1997, p. 31
Is any body besides me seeing that this is a load of llama s**t.
Anyway I hope all of you are enjoying musical and I hope this long post doesn't annoy you guys.
peace
p.s. All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach. - Adolf Hitler

Once (from Pearl Jam - Ten)

I'll relive it...without pain...mmm...
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah...
Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah...
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...I pray...
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah...
You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time...
Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah...
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Quetzacotl Says.....
"You have four years now till you meet your doom," he growls from his golden tropical feather decorated throne, "You must make a daily sacrifice of 457 souls," he pauses to think, "if not you will eternaly suffer in Xibalba with the other heathen peoples," shouts grandly, "Repent you mortals come back to the true faith!" He disapears in a cloud of smoke.
Well, it's over. )-:
Well break actually turned out pretty good. With an exceptionally busy year I was surprised to say the least. Here is a break down of my holiday. Winter Solstice was pretty awesome (dancing around the fire singing our favorite pagan carols). Every my aunt and uncle have a bonfire and party. Unfortunately the bonfire was some what smaller than last year (about 8 by 10 feet). However I proved my arabicness in Halo 2 and everyone there should be seriously embaressed because as my faithful readers know I am not exactly a genius when it comes to Halo. Christmas was all in all pretty sweet. I got a Fender Telecoustic Electricacoustic Guitar with a tube practice amp. We had lunch with my dad's family then had dinner with my mom's. FIrst Night was pretty fun I was rather ecstatic to see many of my friends and faithfull blog readers (gasp). The entertainment was decent and I was facinated by the magician in the Court Square Theatre. In short my holiday was while not the best ever was still pretty decent.
peace
