That was how some of my school chums pronounced pictures back in the day. It bugged me but I never said anything.
Anyway, we are hopping on the Flickr bandwagon. I set up an account a couple days ago with a few test pitchers and took the initiative today to mess with template and insert it into our sidebar. If you have a digital camera and would like to contribute just ask me for the login and password. I'll be putting up soccer game pitchers, but as long as we stay under our 10 megabyte a month limit, I can't think of any restrictions we need to place on this community photoalbum. Well, maybe a couple, but upload to your hearts content anyway.

Hee hee hee... The French
I'm studying history for the AP test and here's a summary of what I have so far.
The US over its history gained a lot of land in North America, which France failed to hold on to.
The US succeeded in bringing a democracy by a revolution, which France failed to do.
The US won this revolution by beating Britain, which France has often failed to do.
The US drove the Germans into Germany, ending the Great War, which, for years, France failed to do.
The US constructed the Panama Canal, which France tried and once again, failed to do.
Once again the US liberated France from Germany.
I'm sure I'm missing more examples, because there are huge gapes between American independence and the beginning of the Twentieth Century, and also between World War II and modern day.
On the other hand, the United States has never been able to invade Canada. And like Mr. Hunnicutt said, "It's not from lack of trying."
My history might be a bit biased. At least I reject that "America as a chosen nation" crap. Chosen to kill all those Native Americans, host slavery for so long, hold on to segregation after that, teach evolution, burden the poor, allow abortions, and host among the higest rates of divorce, drug use, obesity, anorexia, violent crimes, and relativism? Christian nation my donkey! And we're so intolerant of other people's cultures! At least we're not France. :-P

If I Could Be Half The Man He Is...
.Well, if this isn't a blatant attempt for a change of scenery, I don't know what is!
Why can't we let the horse die?
Good Lord! Why is everyone so aginst me. First Doug then Ben then Scott! Three people I consider good friends turn their backs and begin to constantly insult me. LET IT GO! Okay I'm back (so what) I posted on the blog ( oh my, how scandalous). Why can't everyone just stop attacking eachother and run with the flow. If you don't like it, then fix it, bitching wount help. Sure bring up the topic by all means, but don't personally try to hurt someonelse. If your goal when you respond to such posts as the one below is to offend or piss off the other person, then you do not belong on this blog. Accuse me of being a hypocrit, go ahead. But first read my comments and realize that although I specificly mention people, never do I bash someone, rather they are meant to incite a thought, to make you question your motives and words. Please let this be the end of this all. Accept and move on for everyone's sake. If you think that my few post tick off people, well a constant argument and fued pisses them off even more.

ONE DAY LEFT!
One day left. In case you didn't know already.
Anyway, another track meet, 2 feet under in Discus, ended at 3rd, which is fine, I couldn't place better even if I pr'd by several feet. Oh yeah, I got 40' in shot, and am now going to be Varsity next week.
I move to have Alex re-banned. I did feel slightly guilty when he got kicked off the first time, but it looks like he is once again abusing blog privilages. 3 posts in less than an hour? And all of them about absolutely nothing of any importance. (If it sounds like I'm being hypocritical, I have divine (Ben) mandate.) Anyway, I for one would like Alex to not make a repeat of last time.
