  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/7689.html</link>
  <description>Hello everybody...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just wanted to let all of those that care know, I&apos;m not dead.

I also have some goodies from work that I&apos;ll update with when I get a chance.  Here&apos;s for starters...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  &quot;This is Brian&quot;&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;This is ---- from ----&quot;&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  &quot;What seems to be going on?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;Well my computer keeps freezing up&quot; (most of others lines are said in a tone frantic/blamnig me)&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  &quot;What screen is it or what program are you working on?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;Well, I get to this screen that says &quot;press (now spelling) c-t-r-l + a-t-l + delete to countinue&quot;&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  (now super pissed)&quot;Did you press those buttons?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;yeah, i sure did&quot; (i think he caught my tone)&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  &quot;At the Same TIME!?&quot; (ready to rock!)&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;yeah&quot; (a pause, signifing hesitation or the possiblity that he press all of the letter buttons instead of control alt delete)&lt;br /&gt;BIRH:  &quot;Okay, without me coming down there and totatlly blowing away your computer, unplug it...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;other: &quot;Oh, it&apos;s starting to work now...&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Go figure, if you do what the computer says, sometimes you can &quot;unfreeze&quot; your screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus&apos;s assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot;

  <title>You&apos;re not ready for this Jelly?!</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/7269.html</link>
  <description>Hello and welcome to lunch time at the northern HQ.  My journal hasn&apos;t been updated in a while because I&apos;d rather put something sweet up than something about my day that sucks.  Not that everyone&apos;s day sucks all the time...anywho, on a recent trip to my house from work (I left my nextel there) I decide that lunch was close and hardee&apos;s was closer.  Lucky, It was before 10 and I could still order off of the breakfast menu, my favorite menu in the entire fast-food industry.  All other ff-joints should do their own thing after 10, but everyone should sell Hardee&apos;s breakfast before hand...Well, I pull up to the unsually short line at the drive through.  When it becomes my turn, I pull up and order.  ME: &quot;Can I have a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit and a jelly biscuit please?&quot;  TALKING BOX: &quot;One BEC biscuit and a jelly biscuit, that&apos;ll be $???, please pull around&quot;  I pull around and am releived to fine that all of my order is in the bag.  I get to my house and take a quick 15min lunch while I retrieve my nextel.  Wait?!  There&apos;s no jelly with this biscuit!  Okay, when you order a jelly biscuit, it should come with...a biscuit? yes and .... think about it... really try with this one, oh, it&apos;s almost there.... JELLY!!!!!  I never order a cheese burger and have this overwhelming sense of joy when the cheese is left off.  With a tear running down my check I realized at that moment that the last shred of hope I had for humanity died like my desire for a jelly biscuit from hardee&apos;s.  I&apos;ll still be visiting that hardee&apos;s, I&apos;m sure they will forget something or misplace a fry with a coke, because they are pretty much the same thing, but nothing cut me as deep as the missing jelly...bastards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard.</description>

  <description>So, I started to ponder... What are the top 5 reasons girls would(and wouldn&apos;t) date me?  I didn&apos;t know.  But since I&apos;m sweet, I came up with a list, in no particular order:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Pro: I play bass.  Seriously, girls dig bass players, seriously. &lt;br /&gt;   Con: Let&apos;s face it, even if a lead singer sucks, girls still dig him more than the bass player, unless &lt;br /&gt;        the bass player is the lead singer, but I&apos;m not.  At least I&apos;m not a drummer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Pro: I have curly hair.&lt;br /&gt;   Con: Lot&apos;s of people have curly hair.  Although mines curlier than most. (???)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Pro: I&apos;m intelligent.  Girls dig brains and brians.&lt;br /&gt;   Con: My area of intelligence falls into the computer geeky area.  cpu = no girls for you(or more &lt;br /&gt;        specifically me).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) Pro: My sense of humor.&lt;br /&gt;   Con: Which by some standards is immature.  Wha!?  I&apos;ll sing, &quot;I wear my sunglasses at night&quot; while &lt;br /&gt;        wearing my sunglasses at night!  That&apos;s freakin&apos; genius!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) Pro: I Love sports&lt;br /&gt;   Con: My favorite sport is soccer (sorry ladies, no QB, pitcher, or point guard here)  Because soccer is &lt;br /&gt;        the best sport originating from a human skull ever!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, there are my reasons.  I think that that seems pretty good.  OR bad if you just look at the cons, which you probably did you sick pessimistic person you!!!  oh well, I think that I need to go to bed&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>WOW!! Episode 5, the old brian strikes back (i&apos;m a geek)</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/6670.html</link>
  <description>Well, to all of you that faithfully (cough) follow the brianisrockhard journal, you may have noticed that the last post I had was from the northern command center.  Well, the command center has moved further north now, although, I don&apos;t forsee in the near future updates being done to the journal from my northern command post.  First and formost, I&apos;m glad I got the hell out of Lilly while the getting was good.  With the petit $690 million settlement that they just paid out, I probably would have been losing a co-worker or two and possibly my job anyway.  For the first time in my life, I&apos;m in a stable job with no fear of cutting off my contract or being ask to &quot;work the third shift on a temporary basis&quot;, which for all of you that know me or at least this journal...SUCKS!!!  THIRD SHIFT BLOWS!!! RUN THE OTHER WAY FAST!!!!  ahem, anways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was having a discussing w/ ma mere about stuff at church which may have caused me to miss Italian fest or cause my friends to become apathetic to my desire to consume italian sausage.  Let&apos;s face it, I probably don&apos;t need it anyways.  I figured out something.  In the last 2 1/2 years I could always count on a couple of things: relationship, church, friends/family.   Never the job.  Now, I have had my world, to say the least, rocked in a couple of those areas.  No problem with the friends and family thing.  Relationship went down the crapper though, for lack of a better phrase, and with the church situation, I have no idea where it is heading and I wonder how bad a situation it is in.  I&apos;ve, ironically, had the job become one of the more stable things in my life which is weird and unreliable.  I don&apos;t think that it is ever wise to trust too much in a job, although, I feel much MUCH more comfortable in this position than any previous ones, except dairy queen, but that is a different story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&apos;t get me wrong, I&apos;m in a good place.  I&apos;ve learned alot about things recently, about myself especially.  I&apos;m happy with things.  Not as happy as I could be, but I am working on it.  I think that a recent late night romp around indy with a good friend of mine and a martini (or two) opened my eyes to a few things about me.  Man, I need a, oh wait do you call it, time off from every thing, job, school, life in general...vacation!  yeah, that&apos;s it.  Oh well, can&apos;t complain, there&apos;s always the weekends.  And a job for me on monday...hopefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Final day for lilly/school</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/6199.html</link>
  <description>Well, so goes it, I am leaving Unisys in just a few short hours while I am trying and pull off a 32+ hours of wake with a two hour nap.  I have fun, can you tell?  I have got to try and get back on a &quot;normal&quot; schedule as quickly as possible because of my new job starting on monday is the exact hours I usually sleep.  So, I was up at 3 today.  Somebody called the house 2 or 3 times in a row and woke me up.  I&apos;ve been up for a little over 12 hours now and hopefully I can make it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am leaving the third shift with one thing left to do.  I have decided on a break I am going to go lie down in an elevator and ride it up and down.  Why? you may ask? well, How many of you can say that you have laid down in a Lilly elevator?  Hmmmm?  Okay, I&apos;m really bored and that is the main reason.  Print is just about finished and all of my games are played.  Time for stupid fun! Woo Hoo!  Found out that I got an A on my Oracle final.  Sweeeeeet!  I figured that is the class I have been the most interested in this semester.  Man, this post sucks.  No anger or resentment of any kind.  I&apos;m just happy that I&apos;m on the home strech for third shift.  Well, gotta go.  Wow, more chipperness.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Four more days, Four more days, four more days...</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/5838.html</link>
  <description>While I sit here and type tonight I have a euphoric and depressing side to my emotional state tonight.  On the up side, in six days I will be completely finished with Unisys, third shift, idiotic managers, smelly first shifters and stupid dress codes that only the operations staff has to follow, not the managers(although belly shirts are always professional in my opinion).  I have become even more rebelous in my waning days while wearing an outfit just a step above pajamas and of course flip flops.  I have been considering wearing the flip flops all next week to work.  I haven&apos;t decided about that yet.  My night so far has consisted of many deep and awe inspiring questions.  A few examples are such as 1) How may fire sprinklers does the old cafateria upstairs have (88) and how many rounds of battlezone does it take to get borring (work in progress, so far 50).  I actually had a small discussion with someone today about games on various sites, mostly yahoo, and I knew of every game he told me about.  I then informed him of several I&apos;ve played and 2, previously unknown to him, game sites that just reek of java fun time.  Yesterday I was about to lose my mind, tonight will be the absolute brink of my sanity.  I was being begged yesterday before I came in to stay and call in sick.  I consider this.  Although the sick time would be taken out of my accrued vacation pay which is looking at around 1300 dollars.  So, I need money.  I like money.  I have a savings fund, woohoo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have tried in vain 4 times to get a friend of mine hired on here at Unisys.  I figured that anything is better than the fast food gig, especially since he is into the whole comptuer thing like me.  I have within the last three weeks sent his resume for the third time to management saying that it might be a good idea to hire him in.  My shift in one week will go from having 5 people on shift to 3.  So, of course, even with a one month notice, there is absolutely no one as of yet to be my or a coworkers replacement.  Crazy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a super long post, even by my ranting standards.  I was told my brother was picking on me for saying &quot;smoking out cigars&quot; in reference to him joining a friend of mine and myself during an evening with cigar smoking and the possiblity of poker.  First of all, anything I say or have said during the third shift phase of my life makes sense.  So, BACK OFF!  Oooo, that reminds me.  This said brother of mine has woke me up 3 or more hours early the last two days for no other reason except, &quot;I forgot you were sleeping&quot; because I only sleep when it doesn&apos;t inconvince him and his lil jon album.  It is understandable though.  I have only been working this shift for, oh, let&apos;s say eight months.  So I think a phone call to his celly around 3 this morning may do the trick, or just piss him off real bad, but what&apos;er going to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aside from that, most of everything else is fine.  I can&apos;t wait until this week of third shift and finals ends.  Two things that I have nothing but hatred for ruining one week of my life at the same time.  Ironic how both are coming in the same week, huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Wearing flip-flops to work, sweeeeeet</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/5584.html</link>
  <description>Well, I am about ready to scream my head off!!  I have played the same game sites over and over and over.  I have to just let loose I guess.  I have absolutely nothing to do right now.  I have decided to go on a white castle run or steak &apos;n shake because I have to get the hell outta here.  I have 6 days, well 5 and a half now, until I am freed from this crap.  I decided to be a rebel and wear (eek, gasp) flip flops to work.  Not a firable offense, although I would like a few days before I start my next job.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FINALS BLOW!!!!  enough said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s kinda funny.  I have all of this stuff on my brain and I have no outlet, no way to express it except through this journal and maybe talking to other people.  I can&apos;t wait to be off of this shift and onto a new thing where people are actually awake when I.  That sounds so starnge.  So, for a quick recap.  I am just about to jump out the window and run screaming into the night never to be heard of again.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;five more days, five more days, five more days&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Radio is sweet!</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/4945.html</link>
  <description>**********&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I can&apos;t talk about my subject of the day without mentioning that I found this totally unbiased quiz that everyone needs to take and reply with their results.  I thought that it was the most accurate online quiz EVER!  Don&apos;t believe me?  Take it here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=11308&quot;&gt;http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=11308&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and by the way, I&apos;m not a consultant...I&apos;m a contractor.  I would make a LOT more money as a consultant.  &lt;br /&gt;That was a picture of me with my uncle.  Uncle sadham, pronounced with a SAD and HAM like a pork product...mmmm pork product.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has Canada had their New Year yet?&lt;br /&gt;**********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was listening to 97.1 this weekend.  Odd.  Anyhow, While flipping through the station I heard that it was an all request weekend.  This means all of the 80&apos;s and 90&apos;s I can handle.  Be still, my nostalgic heart.  SO, while getting my fix on tunes from my younger years I heard a spot from 97.1 stating &quot;look under the hood, we have a 500 gig hard drive and we are not afraid to use it.&quot;  I soon found this statement to be false.  How can a radio station with an all request weekend play the same song at least three times?  I think that a typical song in mp3 form takes up between 3-5 megabytes.  that leaves 499,995 megabytes left.  At this rate, the station should have bought a computer with no frills just so they didn&apos;t have to waste the space on a HD.  Although, radio has a habit of playing songs over and over again, even if they have over a decade or two worth of music to select from.  Kinda sounds like reospeed&apos;s blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Really TOed</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/4618.html</link>
  <description>*********&lt;br /&gt;Well, unless I get some comments from my side I don&apos;t know how long I can wage a war.  I do take pleasure in knowing that, if it is content and substance you lack, blogspot is definitely the place for you.  Script babies and such and make &quot;pretty&quot; blogs that either suck, or steal half of their content from a live journal or live journal user...  I have an idea, why don&apos;t you buy a Mac.  Not for functional purposes.  That would make too much sense!  Style is the type of thing everyone should look for in computers and technology.  SWEET!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: at least you can&apos;t get me on the aol comment.&lt;br /&gt;reospeed: yeah&lt;br /&gt;Me: i tried to get everyone on yahoo instead of aim&lt;br /&gt;reospeed: but aim isn&apos;t aol&lt;br /&gt;Me: ??? (thinking: are you serious) do you know what the A stands for&lt;br /&gt;reospeed: oh, i guess it is aol, that was stupid&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yes it was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;question of the day:  What does &quot;blog&quot; stand for?&lt;br /&gt;please direct correct answers to &lt;a href=&quot;http://reospeed.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://reospeed.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, everyone remember that brianisrockhard is committed to keeping his side of the blog war 100% workday free.  That means many of the fine products you use for everyday schizophrenia and erectile dysfunction are cheaper by my commitment to use work time for work time and not blog time.&lt;br /&gt;*********&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It snowed yesterday.  I like the snow, except in March.  The snow needs to stay in its own months and leave march out of its jealous rampage.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tonight I have band practice.  I was supposed to be off, but an unfortunate event for a band member requires me to fill in.  Also this thursday, I have a meeting for Easter sunday with the head minister.  What exactly are we suppose to discuss about the Easter service with the minister.  If he has to tell us what the meaning of Easter is, we are in bigger trouble than I think.  So my week went from getting stuff done when I woke up to taking the shaft on school work.  I look back and think that I gotta start saying no to things.  ****my revelation for the day*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nugget of knowledge:&lt;br /&gt;When polishing your shoes, remember to do it in your room over carpet.  Then run out of your room only once your latest coat of polish is nice and wet. trip/stumble down the bottom two stairs(thus the initial sound for waking me up).  Then yell(totally awake at this point) at your dad about how there is shoe polish on the carpet in two places at least 4-5 times(inciting a growing rage in your father).  Then leave.  IF family is not pissed enough repeat the previous until satisfied...or dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://images.quizilla.com/D/deadword/1082607731_sktopGregg.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;It &amp;#39;s comforting to say that &amp;#39;practice makes perfect&amp;#39;....&quot;&gt;&lt;br&gt;You are &apos;Gregg shorthand&apos;.  Originally designed to&lt;br&gt;enable people to write faster, it is also very&lt;br&gt;useful for writing things which one does not&lt;br&gt;want other people to read, inasmuch as almost&lt;br&gt;no one knows shorthand any more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know how important it is to do things&lt;br&gt;efficiently and on time.  You also value your&lt;br&gt;privacy, and (unlike some people) you do not&lt;br&gt;pretend to be friends with just everyone; that&lt;br&gt;would be ridiculous.  When you do make friends,&lt;br&gt;you take them seriously, and faithfully keep&lt;br&gt;what they confide in you to yourself.&lt;br&gt;Unfortunately, the work which you do (which is&lt;br&gt;very important, of course) sometimes keeps you&lt;br&gt;away from social activities, and you are often&lt;br&gt;lonely.  Your problem is that Gregg shorthand&lt;br&gt;has been obsolete for a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://quizilla.com/users/deadword/quizzes/What%20obsolete%20skill%20are%20you%3F/&quot;&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;What obsolete skill are you?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;-3&quot;&gt;brought to you by &lt;a href=&quot;http://quizilla.com&quot;&gt;Quizilla&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;</description>

  <description>Okay, I know it has been, uh, well, a couple of weeks since my last update.  So hopefully you can get your fill on this entry right here.  If not, hopefully I will start blogging more, for your sake not mine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any who, I was trying to log on to this account and I had forgotten my password.  Not really news, or anthing interesting, just filling space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My church is in utter disarry.  Easy visual   Church + decision - good * finances / staff = what the hell!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;school sucks&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have currently been working the third shift for three months.  WOW!  That really really sucks.  But not as much as a sucker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have beef with people...there are a few out there that are taking delight in my anger.  Not, pointing and laughing because I&apos;m funny delight(althought that is what is expected) but posting my comments and such in there own blod because &quot;you don&apos;t update your blog&quot;, i meand I any who I declare a blog WAR!!!!!!!  I don&apos;t know how to do this, but it should be fun!  &lt;a href=&quot;http://reospeed.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;http://reospeed.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt; the enemy (boo hiss!)  Here is the first rock &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1768170,00.asp&quot;&gt;http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1768170,00.asp&lt;/a&gt; (you have to be a huge geek to get/understand this, sorry)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&apos;ve added another shirt at my cafe press shop. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cafepress.com/birh&quot;&gt;http://www.cafepress.com/birh&lt;/a&gt;.

At least by the end of spring break.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;think about it,  why would any one take a shit.  I prefer to just leave it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and to finish off:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nugget of knowledge...&lt;br /&gt;Seniors in High school and college can&apos;t get &quot;Senior&quot; discounts.  I mean, what scam are they trying to pull.  They lure me in to early bird specials and discounts at retirment homes, and all i get is sneered at for being some &quot;punk&quot;.

  <title>Yippee, hurray!!!</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/3790.html</link>
  <description>Okay, faithful followers of the brianisrockhard journal.  I have decided to do something that I have always wanted to do, but never had the courage to do.  Open a cafe press shop!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(this is where the yippee hurray comes in.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so for all of the millions and millons of loyal fans, I ask of you this one favor, tell me what your favorite quotes are on my blog.  In the spirit of elections, vote for your favorite quote.  I promise to you that I will not run a negative campaign against me or any of my quotes, and that is coming from an Eagle scout, so you know that it is true.  Speaking of the rank in boy scouts I acheived, i believe that I may have gotten out of a ticket with my eagle scout card.  How your may ask, well, after I picked up my friend, for privacy sake, lets just call him Cookk, I was &quot;speeding&quot; down 37 south from bloomington.  Now, I am still trying to figure out why there would be any cops around IU&apos;s campus, but I will let you know when I find out.  So the cop &quot;alledges&quot; that I was going 80 in a 55.  I know for a fact it was close to 82 or 83.  Any who, he said, in escence that I was a moron because he was sitting behind me at a stop light.  So, a bit of police egg on my face eh?  Well, the cop looked at my license (sitting next to my eagle scout car) and my registration, which still has the sticker on it that I have needed to put on my plate.  So, expired plate, 25 mph over the speed limit and Cookk in the car( well, that would warrent me being pulled over, but I thought he might like to see his name again. wait a sec, he doesn&apos;t even read the!!!).  Well, the cop didn&apos;t check my license, he didn&apos;t run my plate, he didn&apos;t even write me a warning.  He asked If i have ever had a ticket, I said no, which is technically true and he was on his way.  Anyways, back to the shirts,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I would like to put those most popular quotes on tee-shirts so everyone can share the love and knowledge we all know as brianisrockhard.  I love you all, except if al franken is reading this. I don&apos;t love him.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cafepress.com/birh&quot;&gt;http://www.cafepress.com/birh&lt;/a&gt; (nothing is here yet, but soon there will be. ha HA HA!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;nugget of knowledge...&lt;br /&gt;If reabe can sleep through calculus and get a better grade than me, I better wake him up to level the playing field, or kill him in his sleep.  Bingo, class rank now 34(up from 35)</description>

  <title>Politics I can live with...</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/3324.html</link>
  <description>SO, I was hanging out with my &quot;crew&quot;, watching the daily show, shooting the doo-doo, when one of my &quot;crew&quot;mates(at this time he will be know as crewman 1) made the comment that Bush was IN FACT not running a truthful election.  This took me aback.  ( could it be that a politician would be dishonest).  I slightly shuddered and made no comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ON further review, I discover, actually the complete opposite (boy, you two are super pissed by now, aren&apos;t you?  just have some faith, its me!)  Bush is running a super honest campaign.  But what shocked me (and the other half of my friends will be shocked, like I said it&apos;s me!) Kerry is running just as honest as a campaign as Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW, that everyone is scratching their heads, lets take a look at three main points of each side.  All I offer is answer, you may use this information as you would like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kerry&apos;s points:&lt;br /&gt;   1) Kerry did IN FACT serve in Veitnam.  Can you argue with me?  Let&apos;s move one.&lt;br /&gt;   2) Kerry has IN FACT voted in congress.  Nothing but the truth there.&lt;br /&gt;   3) Finally, Kerry is IN FACT a Democrat.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow, now that most of your minds have been blown lets countinue with Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bush&apos;s points:&lt;br /&gt;   1) Bush IN FACT has been to Camp David.  But so has every other president.&lt;br /&gt;   2) Bush has IN FACT worn a fighter pilot suit.  I melted a bit too.&lt;br /&gt;   3) Finally, Bush is IN FACT a Republican.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, now that you understand where both of the canidates are going with this election, I hope I have informed you of another side of both canidates.  This may make you decision more difficult, if it has I&apos;m sorry.  I am just fulfilling my duties as an American with an eye on the election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my favorite part is the in you face IN FACTs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;as always,&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Time for an update...</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/2978.html</link>
  <description>Well, I have been hard...at work, trying to figure out what to do with my life.  So, many choices!  I figured that the best (and by far the easiest) thing to do is just go with the flow.  Althought this is no different than how I have usually taken life, I just now recgonized the fact that is how I take life.  School is okay.  However, it does have that pesky, oh, what do you call it???  Ah, that&apos;s it, school thing going, so I am ready to leave.  Leave school were it lays, only to hold me back from a higher paying future unless I bow to its will and cough up mucho green to suffice its nevering ending desire to feed on pictures of george washington.  (tuition increases, yipee, hurray!)  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I obtained a parking ticket last thursday.  I acutally put a huge sign (12&apos;x8.5&apos;), yellow in color say the follow, &quot;Hey, I paid a hundred and twenty freakin&apos; dollars for a tag that doesn&apos;t even get me access to the parking garage.  I think that I may be in the wrong here.  PLEASE give me a ticket!!!  I feel that I should pay you more so that my guilty consience is put to rest, you money stealing bastards, I mean wonderful people who have obviously nothing to do on a thurday after 6 pm.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can see why I needed a big sign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29,000 people attent and they decide to check my lot and, Oops, I parked in an A/B spot.  Usually A and B spots are avalible after 4 pm to E pass holders (ie me)  however, the brilliant stategist at IUPUI parking decided to mark about 8 spot on the corner of the lot A/B only.  So, I not only walked from the opposite side of the lot to the class I was going to, I had to pay for a sucky ass spot.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yipee hurray!&lt;br /&gt;_--------------------------____-----------------______---------&lt;br /&gt;things I learned in high school:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;when dealing with a make beleive bomb, don&apos;t play football with it infront of teachers.  You blew the whole quasi-recess thing we had going.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>Wow, it&apos;s been a while.  I&apos;ve had to hold it for a whole...long...time.</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/2724.html</link>
  <description>Well, I have about a billion things I could spew on about right now, but who the hell cares about that, huh?  Well, I DO!!!!!  On the eve of the most intesive surgical procedure that I will embark on, I was reading the USA Today today.  Today, USA Today was talking about how the 90&apos;s are on a come back.  WHAT?!  That decade isn&apos;t even 5 years into the grave and are longing for a rebirth of sorts.  Here&apos;s the really sad thing.  The 90&apos;s (okay stick with me on this one)...The 90&apos;s was a damn rebirth of EVERTHING!!!!!  You start to argue but realize that, like always, I&apos;m right.  Everything from music to clothing to even cartoons was regurgitated into the 90&apos;s as a hope for long life, more prestige or more money.  I think that this needs to stop.  Let&apos;s just actually make the deralict collection and wear that around.  This would be the furthest fashion statement that we have come to in a while.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DON&apos;T &quot;LOVE THE 90&apos;S&quot;!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we need more time to forget the absolute lackluster decade that we just fell out of like a birthing Giraffe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think that class is soon upon me.  I must flee to the sanctity that is music and computers.  One thing to remember...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <description>WELL, well well, it&apos;s been awhile.  You look good.  Thank you, I have been working out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any who, I can&apos;t write too much.  I&apos;m on lunch break at the brianisrockhard Headquarters in downtown indianapolis.  My next journal entry will be scripted at the south side HQ.  I can tell you that my last project is due tonight at midnight.  After that, I will have a good long, hopefully hilarious entry that you may or may not look at.  If you don&apos;t, that&apos;s fine.  I will still write it for myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;before this I didn&apos;t think being pissed off was so much fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;until next time,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard</description>

  <title>time for an update</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/2086.html</link>
  <description>WEll, i know that everybody that cares has missed this update...all four of you.  Anywho, I have gotten to a point where I am only a little behind on school work, and that means I can update.  I&apos;ve noticed some things recently.  Today, much to Eric Hash&apos;s dismay, I watch on of the national semi-final matches for college girls basketball.  Did you know that it is being held in New Orleans?  On the center of the court is a trumpet.  Like New Orelans is still know for Jazz.  We all know what it is really known for, GIRLS GONE WILD.  The center court should have a picture of a different set of valves.  &lt;br /&gt;       Anywho, I hate Al Franken.  I don&apos;t have a problem with his point of views, his new radio show, his book, or really anything about his political stance.  Al thinks that he is funny.  Notice, I said, he think he is funny.  The only one laughing is him.  Does he have a &quot;best of al franken&quot; video for snl.  NO  That stuart rosy palms character he did was funny.  That was until I grew a few ball hairs.  then, I realized that, well, that sucked.  I&apos;ll admit he had a cleaver jab that really got under fox news&apos; skin by adding their slogan on his book.  That was amusing.  However, his new show, the &quot;O&apos;franken factor&quot; with the &quot;zero spin zone&quot; and a female cohost is an exact copy of bill o&apos;reily.  So, not only is Ally baby not funny, he also, is not original.  If he had paridied the show on his &quot;uniquely&quot;(but we know by now, he can&apos;t think for himself) titled show with it&apos;s own gimicky slogan or spot it would be cleaver, but to name his radio show (in esence) the exact same, i just can&apos;t say anything that can tell anymore on his attitude.  &lt;br /&gt;      I thought the other day, what was the most random thought you have ever had? think about it?  Actually, you will probably start thinking about how random that statement was.  Okay, I thought of something more random.  It had to do with a quick pit stop at the happiest place on earth? Neverland ranch?! surely you jest.  I mean white castle.  I noticed that, being a guy this is good, the previous patrons before me have bad...&quot;aim&quot;.  Well, I thought that not to set a bad example that I should to turn white castle yellow, in an effort to reach the 68th level of whitecastledom-the misterious tinkle club.  How delightfully random that was.  How incredibly random this whole damn thing is.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;brianisrockhard&lt;br /&gt;(ps &lt;i&gt;sigh&lt;/i&gt; i shook it more than three time &lt;i&gt;tear&lt;/i&gt;)</description>

  <title>Life, mariage and Cortislim(this is a must read)</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/1460.html</link>
  <description>Well, it is final...all hell has broken loose.  For those of you in our viewing area...breaking news from the illegal drug front...Eric Hash is engaged!  If that wasn&apos;t enough, nothing says, &quot;hey stupid, your 21&quot; like being asked to be a groomsman.  HOLY CRAP!!!  On the bright side the crazy bastard forgot our little bet. &quot;It was to see who would be married last!!! Not first!!! You loose HASH!!! Ha Ha Ha, where&apos;s My Money (I believe it was for $1000 dollars...or  one hundred pennies...I can&apos;t remember.)  Hearing news like this makes me think about settling down and making some curly haired little Brian&apos;s myself.  Thus, my life goes, I settle down in the evening to sleep and they don&apos;t make curly fuzz pipe cleaner yet.  Either way, it was, well, a interesting end to a super duper spring break.  I was in Chicago this past weekend and couldn&apos;t have asked for a better weekend in the middle of psuedo-winter.  After traveling downtown, I can now affirm that only a handful of buses and substations wreak of urine.  Wow, I need to break from writing.  I suggest you take a break from reading.  Now stand up, touch your toes, run your fingers through your hair( or your favorite curley haired trivett) and shack it around &quot;like you just don&apos;t care.  Okay, back to typing.  I have noticed that I can&apos;t watch a solid six hours of tv without the commercials for cortislim and other medicines that claim that it is not my fault I am over weight.  All the while they have a grandfather like figure looking apathetic and concerned that his little jelly roll of a grandson may die before him.  First of all, how do they know that it isn&apos;t my fault.  Maybe I decided to start training for the glutton bowl and this is just how I look during the training season.  What if they are right though, what if there is some part of my body that is tring to kill me, slowly storing all the ice cream, girl scout cookies, cake, little debbies, potato chips, beef jerky, chocolate, and straight shots of Tang around my stomach and thighs.  Those hormonal bastards!!!!  Well, two can play at this game.  I&apos;m just going to out eat them.  They will have sooooo much food to store that they will just give up and admit defeat that I can eat what I want when I want and as much as I want.  Well, I hate to stop typing because I always think of something to right about right after I finish.  But that is how this cruel society works.  If I don&apos;t add, people will miss out on my nuggets of knowledge that has inspired and prespired so many around.  But if i do post, i look just like the huge computer geek that I am and am assumed to have no life at all.  Ah, behold, the power of sleaze....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time, brianisrockhard  (where&apos;s my money)</description>

  <title>Web Classes SUCK!!</title>
  <link>http://brianisrockhard.livejournal.com/1196.html</link>
  <description>Well, to get spring break started off right, I thought that I would sit down and do some taxes!  Yippe hurray!!  I think that no one should pay taxes directly.  There needs to be a system were they would just come in the night, pillage your house and, if you were a good boy or girl, leave you with a few measley scaps of moldy bread they call &quot;refund&quot;.  That would be just the tip of my kickin&apos; spring break.  Web classes must also be an invention totally of the devil.  Let me fill you in if you have no concept of this horrid reality.  I sit down and listen to a streaming presentation from a professor that is, well, just a notch above paint drying.  Super.  Then, I have a question.  Well, well well, welcome to message board hell.  I now go the a message board site were there are oh a least 150 to 200 posts that I first have to look through to find if my question has been asked.(keeping in mind that a repeated question is sentence to death by many computer professors)  Once my teadiously long and absolutely rediculos search is over, I then post my message.  Only to get idiots asking something like, &quot;are you even in the right place?&quot;  &quot;Well, now that you mention it, I am in my living room and The program was working while i was sitting in my bedroom.  I&apos;ll try that next you jack ass!&quot;  So, what do I get for all of this wonderful online time that to no avail helps me remember or learn?  I get to take it over.  I thought, &quot; great, I can now take a class room version of this&quot;  No, no, that wouldn&apos;t be ... well, it wouldn&apos;t piss me off, so they countinue the class soley on line much to my dismay and the dismay of my ego.  Well, if computers never work out, I guess there is always Joel...I mean poorman....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until next time,  brianisrockhard</description>
