This Might Make Me a Weirdo But...

I find it quite enjoyable to take the last big bite of a meal right before jumping in the shower. Chewing delicious food and bathing in warm water is quite the splendid combo.

Three Short Bios

Emily Dickinson lived an introverted and hermetic life. After less than a year at college she mysteriously dropped out never to return again. She spent nearly the next 40 years of her life as a complete recluse. Rarely leaving her home she wrote over 1700 poems. Though virtually unknown in her lifetime, she is globally regarded today for having assembled some of the finest poetry ever written.




Andrew Wiles first became fascinated by Fermat's Last Theorem at the age of ten. Upon receiving his Ph.D from Cambridge at the age of 27 he set out to prove this nearly 400 year old enigma. He did so in almost complete secrecy, spending every free moment of the next 7 years working on an answer - detached from his wife, three kids, and the outside world. He published his completed proof in 1995.



Gamblegambel is a gambler. Having recently graduated from Emory University, he spends most of his time hanging out and playing poker. However, the day of the distraction is nearing its end. A journey to the mecca of all gambling cities in a room withing the house of the remdog approaches. His greatest work is yet to come...




Growth of Man, like Growth of Nature --
Gravitates within --
Atmosphere, and Sun, endorse it --
But it stir -- alone --
Each -- its difficult Ideal
Must achieve -- Itself --
Through the solitary prowess
Of a Silent Life ...

-E.D.

Tips To Cope With A Job You Hate

Keep your sense of humor
It's not just an old wives' tale that laughter is the best medicine. Many scientists believe that humor can enhance your ability to cope with a number of situations by giving you perspective and helping you to see that the problem is manageable. Try and add humor to your daily routine whenever possible. Watch a sitcom over a drama or listen to a goofy morning radio show rather than the news. Keeping your sense of humor will allow you to be optimistic in the face of adversity, which will help you keep the ball rolling forward every day.

Make time for yourself
The truth is that this is good advice whether you hate your job or not. It's easy to get into the painful grind of sleeping, working and eating. Turn an activity that you enjoy (anything from working out to reading the paper) and apply it your morning routine. That way you'll be getting up for the activity, rather than the job.

Seek professional help
More than 19 million American suffer from depression. While workplace stress isn't the sole cause of depression, it is a factor. If you find that you can't cope with your job, it's important to seek professional help before a more serious problem develops. Your goal here is to maintain your sanity above all else. To do that, you should check with your employer to see if they offer counseling through an EAP (Employee Assistance Program).

The Raising Roster

Hakeem Olajuwon - Red aces. The big man almost always wins. Speed 9, power 9, and a dunk 9 - you can play him just about anyway you want and it's correct. Only thing you need to avoid is the three point; get too greedy and he will be your demise. Appropriately on the the Rockets.


Karl Malone - The AK. That power 9 and dunk 9 will really help you run some folk over. Unfortunately if you actually try and pass and shoot with this the bone- yard you might run into some trouble. Of course big slick is on the Jazz.


Reggie Miller - The medium pair. With a 3pts of 9 and clutch at 8, he will definitely come through and nail that set when you need to rake in the huge pot. Most of the time however you will find yourself just doing a lot of checking and folding. Trustfully found on the Pacers.


Mugsy Bogues - The suited connector. Man does he sound and look good, but he is just a trouble maker really. With a steal of 9 you will manage to get a few extra balls without the best hand; leave him in for too many quarters and you will pay the price. Hornets are really better off without him.


Laettner - The complete rag. The 0 pass rating really hurts here; you want to avoid the showdown at all costs. If people see you raise with the Laettner your table image will be in the gutter. Best off folding the Timberwolves.

Three of the Dumbest Things I Have Ever Done

One day while I was working at the local thrift store (I repaired the broken TV's and electronics that came in and priced them) the manager came up to me and asked if indeed I drove a white 65 mustang. Upon confirming this was my car he asked me to come outside to the parking lot. To my surprise there was a crowd of people around my car with had smashed into the side of another vehicle. Apparently I had not put the emergency break on (the parking lot was quite flat and large) and after a few hours my car began to roll and went for about 150 feet before totaling an eclipse spyder. Lucky for me hit that car before smashing into a store front.

One day I got the idea in my head to make a bomb. I won't go into much detail about what for, but the construction of such was a priority of mine in high school. So after getting some ideas from online I went to a local grocery store to pick up a few items. However, I realized that I only had enough money on me to get everything but one item. So I decided to pour out some of the potassium permanganate in my pocket instead of buying it. I thought I was being clever, the store manager thought differently. They had video of me doing this and threatened to call the police for theft and purchasing suspicious items and asked me to never shop their store again.

One day after picking up a friend on my way to high school the following occurred: I was driving on the secondary road that leads up to our school (it was really windy and hilly; I suppose this was to keep people from speeding to school, which was impossible anyway cause there was always a huge line just to get into the parking lot halfway down this mile long street) So as I am driving down this side road I get passed by some punk and decided that my ego was on the line here. So I proceeded to accelerate to pass him before we got to the line only to realize that I was going about 60 MPH and I had misjudged the time left to pass. I immediately slammed on my breaks and did about 3 or 4 360's as my car swerved into oncoming traffic reaching a screeching halt 3 feet in front of an oncoming school bus.
