Hey everybody. So, my dad's Christmas letter just came out, and I'm not sure if it really said exactly what happened to me this year. It kinda put an old man spin on everything. So, here is my Christmas letter for 2004.

This year I:
Got a girlfriend who is amazing (and who my parents still introduce as my 'friend' Clairissa [gah!])
got a band
was in a play
made a cd
rebeled against the blockade of soda imports to my house
watched cartoons
made a documentary
realized that many of my friends are getting jobs and I should get used to it.

ok... so that was my year. Have a merry Christmas and a happy '05!

Life Through Spell-check

And let me stand to tell you,

the effects that seal my mind

a blessed recollection

of times past

of things to be remembered

of people who have changed my life

all of the things that make this existence worth-while

I'll box out all the evil words

bliss will be underlined

circle all the good times

before knowledge polluted mind

skip over all the sadness

erase all of the sin

check the grammar of my misery

with a flaming scarlet pen

But the times I will remember

are not those I’ve crossed out

but the times that need no editing,

the ones I'm all about.

THE BALLAD OF THE D.M.V.

I hate the D.M.V. I think I always will. The D.M.V. should burn in a river of giant purple flames. Why you ask? Well, I'll tell you why.

So, about a month ago (ish). I decided to go in to get my learner's permit. So, me and my mommy take the half hour drive out to the D.M.V. I am in fairly good spirits, cuz I'm finally going to be able to drive. (and all my friends had kept yelling at me to get my permit) So, I go in, and I get a number. And wait.... and wait.... and wait... for about a good half hour, maybe 45 minutes, of mindboggling crap. Wait....

Finally, my number's called. So, I go up to the counter, and the lady asks me for my birth certificate and crap. and I tell her that I am here to take the learner's permit test. She tells me that I didn't have to wait for my number to be called for that, I could have just come up. Well thanks for that. She asks me a bunch of questions and crap. Like my phone number. and address and crap. then she asks for my drivers ed affidavit.

Me: I need that now?

her: Yes

Me: I was going to get this first, and then enroll.

Her: Nope, need it now.

Me: Since when?

Her: The law changed on July 1st (while I was out of the country)

Me: So, I need that before I can do anything?

Her: Yup.

So, I leave. Slightly pissed, cuz it took like an hour and a half to do fricken nothing. I get home, and we call this driver's ed place. and the guy sends us a form in the mail and stuff. So, it's time to go back to the D.M.V. again. When I'm looking at the form I see that it needs parental signatures on it. Dad's not home. So I call the D.M.V. to ask if both parents need to sign the thing. D.M.V. says that they only need to sign it if they want to drive with me. And, as if that wasn't enough. It needs to be signed in front of a D.M.V. employee, or notorized. So, I need dad's signature. So, I call him at work. We find this D.M.V. that is basically right between his work and our house. It's raining like crazy, practically flooding. So, we drive 45 minutes through the rain.

Mom and I get to the D.M.V. Walk in. I take a number. Not a very long wait considering it's raining cats and dogs outside. I get up to the counter. Have mom sign the thing, dad's still not there. So I wait. He gets there. The D.M.V. lady asks me a bunch of questions. Like my phone #. and address. and I take the eye test. and they ask if I want to be an organ donor. Then it's time for the test.

Ok. All my friends told me this test was easy, and I didn't need to study. Let's just say......... My friends are filthy, scum, liars. I must have gotten the one hard test out of the 5 they offer. It's all about how to put child seats in the car and crap. HELLO!? I DON'T HAVE ANY FRICKEN KIDS! I'M 15! THIS IS A PERMIT TEST! So, the lady grades it. I miss 6. You can only miss 5. (thanks a lot lieing friends)

So, I take the test again. Miss two this time. pass. Go up. Lady asks me my address (again). Lady asks me my phone # (again) organ donor? (again) finally, it seems like I'm going to get the darn thing. Thank goodness. cuz I have now spent about 5 or 6 hours trying to get my permit. We are just about done. Then the lady asks for my secondary driver's ed form.

Me: Secondary?

Her: Yes. You need to take a definsive driving course.

Me: You mean regular driver's ed plus something like alive at 25? (a course I had taken at the beginning of the year, and thought was useless)

Her: Yes.

Me: Since when?

Her: July 1st (date sound familiar?)

Me: So I need the certificate for that? and regular driver's ed?

Her: Yes.

She says that I can just bring the form back the next day and I won't have to take the test again. And I won't have to wait in line cuz she'll recongnize me. Ok, here's the worst part. The Alive at 25 form? Yea, I never got one of those. They were supposed to come in the mail. They didn't. So I have to get a new one in the mail. That will take more that a day. And to sum it up. Tomorrow is the last day the D.M.V. lady will be working in Colorado. She is moving. So, by the time I get the form, nobody will recognize me.

Drive home. 45 min. In the rain. Very mad.

Call the state patrol. And they say: "Since you lost the first one, there is a $5 fee for a new one"

O great. I get to pay $5 for a form they lost. I don't have five bucks. So I have to mow the lawn. Mom pays me five bucks. I give mom five bucks. Mom sends money to state patrol. Certificate comes in mail.

Today. I go back to the D.M.V. Afraid that I'll have to take the test again. Get a number. Wait for 45 min. Finally get to the front. Give lady (Pat) all the forms. Pat says ok. Moves me along. I go to the guy I pay. Pay him the ten bucks for a permit. He tells me to wait for the picture guy to call me. I wait. Picture guy calls me. I walk forward. He tells me to step up to do the finger print thingie.

Right when I'm about to do that. Pat (D.M.V. lady that I just talked to), runs up, says "Hold on, Carl" "He's void"

She explains to me the the Alive at 25 form, that cost me five bucks, isn't valid. And I need a different one. Money guy gives me my check back.

I'm pissed. I go tell mom what they said. And my mom, start to walk up to the desk. Cuts through all the lines. She looks like she's about to go midevil on the whole dmv. She calls the state patrol on her cell phone. Talks to them. Yells at Pat. (sorry pat) (I actually like Pat, she's nice. It's her supervisor and the rest of the D.M.V. that I hate) Pat says that her supervisor says it's the wrong form. suposedly the form is supposed to look like this:

form for Alive at 25

Gah. How annoying. Supervisor says that the approval guys say it isn't valid. Mom asks to talk to them. Goes into this back room. Dad and I sit outside. It's getting late. We've been there for 2 hours. D.M.V. is closing. Everybody is gone. Just a couple D.M.V. guys giving me the crazy eye, since I'm sitting on the floor outside the approval office. Finally after for fricken ever. They call me in. The state patrol sends a certificate via fax. Approval guys say, Yea, that's fine. We go out to talk to the witch. I mean supervisor. Approval guys go home.

Supervisor lady says it's still the wrong form. Mom get's pissed again. Goes into supervisor lady's office. Supervisor lady get's scared. and kicks her out. Supervisor lady calls regional supervisor. Says she'll fax the form. Fax machine won't work for about 15 min. Finally works. Regional supervisor says that it isn't the normal form. So, D.M.V. supervisor figures that means don't take it. D.M.V. supervisor is obviously an idiot. Mom asks to talk to regional supervisor.

Regional supervisor finally caves. But says if the Supervisor of the supervisors doesn't approve, we'll have to come back in. So, I finally got the damn thing. I think towards the end, D.M.V. supervisor didn't want me to get it. But, we may get a call tomorrow saying that this one is void and we have to go back. At that point, I'll just wait till I'm sixteen and won't need the alive at 25 thing anyway. Gah.

But I did learn a lot today.

Like D.M.V. people complain a lot. But why should they? It's the easiest job ever. I'll tell you why.

1. You don't need to be intelligent to get a job there. (especially a job as supervisor)

2. You get paid to piss people off. How fun is that?

So, I have my permit. Hopefully perminently. we'll see. Pssh. Dang you D.M.V.!

So today, I was sitting on my computer rocking out to some ska. Which I like to do occasionally. Helps me relax and stuff. So anywho, I was listening to Less than Jake. Automatic. And singing really loud. And scaring the dog. When Less than Jake just cuts out. And this Bra ad comes on. For like this bra that can be strapless or strapped.

And I'm like, "What the crap!?"

and I figure it's one of the popups that just came up from fricken MSN. So I close all those. and this bra ad is still going.

and I'm afraid my mom is going to walk in and be like, "Jim, what in tarnation are you listening to?"

So, I'm going nuts trying to figure out what the fish is going on. I close winamp. I try to turn off the volume. Nothing is working. This fricken bra ad is still going.

I think I've got like a fricken bra virus. I tried installing Norton antivirus yesterday, but it didn't work. So I'm hoping that bra ads aren't going to go off every hour on the hour now or something. Whoever made that ad must be getting crazy business though.

Gaaahhh!

What is it with parents and making you get haircuts? My dad is forcing me to go get my hair cut. but I like it this way. I think my dad is just jealous because he doesn't have hair anymore. Well, I figure as long as I have hair, I might as well keep it long right? Plus the fact that I got more compliments on my hair tonight (long) than I have had in my whole life. So I obviously shouldn't cut it. I want my hair as long as possible before I look like this....

I'd just like to appologize for that picture. If that's the future I have to look forward to, I better start buying rogaine quick. Hopefully I'll look less goofy once I reach that age though. meh.

I suppose some people just like the bald look. But winter is coming, and I don't want my scalp frozen. So, for the well-being of my cranium and all that that implies, I hope they let me keep my hair. I always wanted long hair, that's why I'm not on the baseball team. the parentals always thought it was about playing ability, no, it was the darn coaches making all the kids cut their hair. Geez, some parents just don't get it.

ok, I'm back. Please hold your applause.

It's very nice to be home. No more sleeping in a tent. No more paddling a canoe all day. No more dehydrated food that is supposed to hydrate you. No more mosquitos.

Alrighty,

Boundary waters was a freakin' great time. Mosquitos are a pain though. I was seriously wearing like 6 layers of buy spray and they just kept biting me. So I put on more bug spay. They kept biting. put on a long sleeve shirt. kept biting (through the fricken shirt) Took some of those mosquito coils and tried to get my clothes to absorb the smoke. kept biting.

Did nothing at all. They stopped.

So it turns out that the less you try and do to stop the mosquitos, the more they'll leave you alone. Thank goodness I found that out on the last day of the trip. Anywho, mosquito bites on the knuckles are the most annoying thing in the world. I was wearing gloves for the trip so I wouldn't blister my hands so I have a really hardcore bicycle glove tan. It's pretty sweet. I've taken two showers since I got back, but I still smell like feet. and not good feet either. stinky, stinky feet. and I have aluminum from the side of the canoe stuck to my fingers. what a pain.

But the trip was definatley fun. Did some fishing. Everybody was mad because fishing comes naturally to me. must run in the family. When everybody else was fishing I would sleep. Then, just about when fishing was over, I would wake up, cast twice, and catch a ginormous fish. I got really used to eating fish on this trip. Fish is good. mmmm fish.

Anyway, it's like 12:32 now and I should be asleep because it's just getting to be the wee hours of the night. Especially because I'm still on MN time.

ok bye!

Quote of the day:

cannibalpacker: jim's alive and not drowning in the land of 10,000 lakes! hooray jim!!

spanish word: -- / --

(I don't take spanish class in the summer, and I'm too lazy to look anything up)

Basement Lingo:

This week is just a correction on an old basement lingo. I have noticed that people have been using the word fish incorrectly. While the word fish can be used to replace a swear word, it must replace the whole word, not just a section.

For example:

When replacing the F word:

"FISH!"

"FISHING!"

"FISHED"

"FISH YOU"

but not:

"MOTHER-FISHER"

Just thought I would clarify that.

Current mood: I was trying to find one that looked like it had mosquito bites, this was the closest I got.

Also, depending on your resolution, the white thing down the middle may be off. So lemme know.

	Hey, I have decided music is hereby banished from this site. A gentler judgment vanish'd from his lips, Not body's death, but body's banishment. Ha, banishment! be merciful, say 'death;' For exile hath more terror in his look, Much more than death: do not say 'banishment.' Hence from Verona art thou banished: Be patient, for the world is broad and wide. ok bye! -Jimbo

hey, I found another cool random generator. Maybe I should make a random generator of the week link. I think I will

random generator of the week.

The random business proposal generator.

http://www.flooble.com/fun/proposal.php

Here's mine:

Date: July 14, 2004, 11:30 pm
From: "Deeoni Boondwaka Jr." (address classified)
To: Undisclosed Recepient(s)

Dear Sir.

Your contact information was referred to me by one of my trusted contacts, whose name I am not at liberty to compromize. I would like to approach you with reguards to a profitable Business Proposal, reguarding the transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars into your Bank Account. For reasons I am sure you will appreciate, I ask that you keep this commucation confidential, and avoid it falling into the hands of any agents of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that may be operating in Your area.

My name is Deeoni Boondwaka Jr., and I am the Son of Dr. Deeoni C., the recently Assassinated Leader of the Freedom Fighters of Canada. If you have been following the events in my country over the last few years, you will remember the big scandal that took place when Dr. C. was brutally gunned down in front of his vacation house, just outside of the capital.

You see, my Father had a lot of enemies , even among the Opposition, who envied his great secret fortune. It was they who removed him in the hope to gain access to the money accumulated over his long career as a Freedom Fighter. Fortunately, there was too much scandal and media coverage in the aftermath of Dr. C.'s murder for them to move openly to claim his money. This gave me and a few trusted people who were still loyal to my Father, an opportunity to move the money into a secret account at the Second Central Bank of Canada.

While we managed to do this without the Royal Canadian Mounted Police becoming aware of our activities, the money cannot remain in this account, because at the end of the tax year, all deposits and interest will be reported to the Taxation Bureau of Canada, where our enemies have informants in their pay. The only option available to us, is transfering the money to a trusted partner who is a foreign national and cannot be linked to Dr. Deeoni C. in any way.

As your name was brought to my attention by a very trusted contact in Canada's Foreign Office, I have been authorized by my partners to contact you with this Proposal. All that would be required of you is the use of your bank account to perform a transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars. Once the money has been deposited, one of Dr. C.'s other Sons will contact you, at which point you will release SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7500000) of the amount into his custody.

I am authorized by my Father's estate in Canada to offer you the remaining TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2500000) as a compensation for your services. Because the money would only need to be in your bank account for a few days, and your danger of being discovered by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is minimal, we believe the commission of TWENTY FIVE PERCENT (25 %) to be more than generous.

Once I have received Your consent and Bank Account number, I will be able to make a claim under Your name with The Canadian National Lottery for the above sum. We have a friend on the Board Of Oversight in that organization who has assured me that the claim will be processed without raising any red flags, and the money will be released into Your Bank Account no later than within SEVEN (7) days from the time I receive your response.

I am at your disposal to answer any questions you may have about this Transaction, so don't hesitate to contact me via telephone, at +1-555-555-6366 (Just ask for Deeoni). I eagerly await your reply, though I must ask you to treat this matter with great secrecy, lest you betray me and my partners to the agents of Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Respectfully Yours,

Deeoni Boondwaka Jr.

hey, I found the funniest thing today.

A random blog generator.

So, on days when I have nothing to write maybe I'll just go to http://www.flooble.com/fun/bloggen.php

and find something like this.....

I think I resent my grandpa Bob. At times he is quite crazy, then yesterday he just fascinated me... I asked for his help watching a TV show about ingratitude of the European lowlands, then he interrupted:

"Get out! I love the European lowlands so much!"

At first I screamed "OH MAN!" then this morning I just subsided and began sobbing. After all, he *is* my grandpa and all he cares about is my own good...

ok bye!
