Grab Bag Fridays: Iiiiiiii'm Juiced!
(1 Cent): I'm A Go Getta!
So, we got some responses and whatnot from the ol' e-mail and Comments link ... and it goes a little something like:
Q: "Sorry i know it's a long email but it's two different stories that i thought you could expound on. here it is." -- K-Yums
(HCP Note: Again, I'm not a big fan of the chain letter e-mails ... but this is different. I liked this.)
GEOGRAPHY OF A WOMAN
Between 18 and 22, a woman is like Africa, half discovered, half wild, naturally beautiful with fertile soil.
Between 23 and 30, a woman is like America, well developed and open to trade, especially for someone with cash.
Between 31 and 35, a woman is like India, very hot, relaxed and convinced of her own beauty.
Between 36 and 40, a woman is like France, gently aging; but still warm and a desirable place to visit.
Between 41 and 50, a woman is like Great Britain, with a glorious and all conquering past.
Between 51 and 60, a woman is like Yugoslavia, lost some wars, won some great battles but haunted by past mistakes, still very strong and proud.
Between 61 and 70, a woman is like Russia, very wide and borders are now largely un-patrolled.
After 70, she becomes Tibet ... off the beaten path, with a mysterious past and the wisdom of the ages ... still desirable but only to those with an adventurous spirit and a thirst for spiritual knowledge and true love dare visit there.
GEOGRAPHY OF A MAN
Between 1 and 78, a man is like Iran - ruled by a d***.

Q: "Yeah, Comcast does rule ... unless you also want to be able to use the Internet." -- Casey
HCP: Well, the Internet always worked for me because I had it through the cable ... I'm assuming (knowing?) that yours is wireless ... which means it probably sucks (i.e., satellite is basically wireless and it sucks). Believe me: you would choose Comcast cable TV and Internet over anything else that's available, especially Dish Network ... which works less than Gilbert Godfrey. Zing!
Q: "First off Casey doesn't know, he is a wangsta. Comcast is comcastic even if the Internet isn't as fast as he would like. He probably has a t3 connection where he can download teraFLOPS of porn every minute. That doesn't mean that the rest of us can't enjoy a connection with highly volatile connection speeds. Sorry we suck.
"Then regarding your [HCP] comment, "Concerning the third response ... uh, you're doing it free of charge? God bless you people! You're too good to me. Of course it's going to be free, foolios! It's not my fault! If I had to pay for another receiver because the first one stopped working ... oh sweet mother of all that's holy and good, there would've been big, big trouble (think: Rambo with the unlimited ammo code from GTA)." As one who has played a few minutes of GTA let me (well let us be honest I have played a lot of minutes) make sure if you find yourself in this situation again that you use the invincible code because they will shoot you and you will die. Also make sure you remember that jumping and drowning will also kill you.
"Well that's all I have to say about that." -- Nony
HCP: Ha ... teraflops ... that's real, right? Concerning finding myself in a GTA situation ... I'd be sure to have a vest on and to steal an ambulance and always have the rocket launcher active. I've seen good things come of this.
Q: "Nony here, just want to clarify that I'm not a hater. No offence Casey.
Secondly, I think it would be cool, that is to say it would be cool, if people with the capabilities (Huge TV’s, large rooms and video game consoles) had March Madness playoffs with their friends. I believe this has been tried a few times but that it is a relatively new concept which may take the nation, maybe even the world by storm. Image a world were people with the means create a method for them and their friends to compete in their own March Madness tournament. Is that not a beautiful image to hold in one's mind? Of course, I believe that there are people out there right now with the means of doing this all they have left to do is to call their friends and tell them when game time is." -- Nony
HCP: Wait a minute ... I have a semi-huge TV ... and large rooms ... and a video game console! Maybe I should have a March madness playoffs with my friends! You intrigue me, Nony ... you intrigue me ....
(2 Cent): Yeah, Sure Ya Do ...
I was talking with one of my friends the other day and he mentioned something that bothers him ... and you know what? It bothers me to. You know what really chaps my cheeks? People who name drop "famous" or popular people to make them seem important or cool.
You know what I'm talking about. "Yeah, so I was back in the hood chillin' and my friend Black Rob was all rappin' and stuff ...." Whatever. Okay, so you knew of someone that's kind of famous. And? Do you want people to be like, "Oh, you're so cool! You know [insert semi-famous name]? Wow, I'm so lucky to know you! You're awesome! I can't believe you know him/her! Will you be my friend? I need to roll with you!" Please.
If you have to mention other people so that the people around you will accept you, then you have some issues to work on. If people don't like you for who you are then get less cool friends or adopt a pet. I hear neutered, stray dogs aren't too picky with friends.
(1/2 Cent): Remember When ...
Some of you might remember when I talked about bombing that GRE for grad school (well, not bombed, but got higher in the quantitative (math) than the verbal). Well, yesterday in the mail I received the official scores along with the analytical writing section that I had to wait to be graded, because people had to actual read it and judge it. There were two writing questions and I guess they averaged them both? I don't know.
Guess what? I got a 5.5 out of 6 on that. To put that in perspective, according to the papers they sent me, the mean score for this is about a 4.3. Also, within the Humanities graduates the mean score was 4.7. So, 5.5 ain't to shabby, eh? I'm not a moron! This test says so!
For S & G, I wanted to show you what scores 6 and 5.5 are listed as containing: "Sustains insightful, in-depth analysis of complex ideas; develops and supports main points with logically compelling reasons and/or highly persuasive examples; is well focused and well organized; skillfully uses sentence variety and precise vocabulary to convey meaning effectively; demonstrates superior facility with sentence structure and language usage but may have minor errors that do not interfere with meaning."
It just makes me feel good. I was so down with the other portion of the test -- that was multiple choice -- that reading this allows me to put my head back up ... well, at least to a level position.
In conclusion, the GRE solidified (for me) that I absolutely suck at multiple choice and that I am capable of writing logically and can analyze and argue points persuasively. And no, you should not use this blog as an example ... this is way to informal.
I'm just glad that I didn't get a zero score: "The examinee's analytical writing skills cannot be evaluated because the responses do not address any part of the assigned tasks, are merely attempts to copy the assignments, are in a foreign language, or display only indecipherable text." To think, I almost used the word "horchata" in my example and tried to type "sd#lfiw4oejk" as my conclusion. Good call to avoid that, huh?
----------
This Monday the 19th is my birthday ... so I may or may not have a Spmusic Monday. Although, I really, really want to. I have -- what I think is -- a good idea for the music portion of that article and you want to know if I can get back to my winning ways for my fantasy league, right? Right?
Everyone have a good weekend and don't drink too much Guinness tomorrow for S.P.D.!
