nother?

I realized that I say the words "a whole nother" sometimes. For example "I don't want to make a whole nother one, can't we just use the old one?"
I thought, "There isn't even a word that nother is short for!"
I researched a liittle and found that it is a combination of another and whole. If you can say "another whole" you can say "a whole nother." It is used in literature as slang from the beginning of America. It is also an album name.

I have no idea where it came from though

Star Wars


Zach says:

Why is the pope so freaky, even during Christmas?

Hunter says:

Cause his eyes are.... BLACK

I wonder if he knows how he looks

Zach says:

that is why....

He is a Sith lord!

Hunter says:

That is what they get for choosing him. Does the Pope still even have any power left?

Zach says:

In Rome he does I think.

Hunter says:

I dont think the Pope has much left. He used to rule like the world.

Zach says:

Nowhere else I think.

Hunter says:

I guess they caught on the Sith lord would try to take the position. But I guess he figured, he was too old to run against Obama. So he would settle for Pope.

Zach says:

ah

Hunter says:

He can work his way up from there.

Zach says:

He will corrupt Obama like he did Anakin.

But this time he will not send him to kill obi-wan (Chuck Norris)

Hunter says:

haha

This time he will use Obama as a puppet, and show the world that Obama is corrupt (After a while) and he will use Biden to claim the President Title.

Zach says:

biden is like dooku, he seems to be on the losing side but that's just an act

Hunter says:

Yea, to rule the world

...

IT WILL TAKE PLACE ON 2012!

Zach says:

It will!

Hunter says:

So, in 2012...

The Pope Lord will use his powers to make everyone in Rome move to America to vote for Obama. Then Obama shall win but Obama will disappear shortly after winning

*Cough* 2012 Date *cough*

Biden will be "forced" to take charge, and he will pledge his allegiance to the Pope. The Pope now rules the US and he will cause WW3. With his power and the Americans, he can force the other nations to side with him until he rules the world

Simple as that

Now then, good Sir

I shall be on my way

push for love

I am not pushing no dirty button for love!

My sister on the other hand looked influenza right in the eye and pressed the mythical love button.

iPod

I find things like this interesting.

Pi: F to C

I decided to edit it so it would be 59 degrees (15 degrees C) so it would line up to the next 2 digits of Pi.
(3.1415)

My passenger needs to buckle up!

Its pie time!

In my dreams it was 59 degrees. (do you know why?)

Citations are Important

How do you cite a corporate author or a government publication?

How do you cite a book with one author?

How do you cite an author with editor?

How do you cite an article in a journal?

How do you cite a book review?

How do you cite anonymous or unsigned work?

How do you cite two or more works by the same author?

thought of you

I saw this and thought it was pretty funny:

"Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."

Another great day of homework!

As I lay in bed last night trying to overcome my 4 shots of espresso I realized my room has like a hundred little lights on all the time. No wonder I couldn't sleep! At any given time I will have 9 little LED lights on in my room.

1. Cell Phone Charger
2. Computer Monitor
3. Computer Charger
4. Surge Protector
5. VCR/DVD Player
6. Alarm Clock
7. iPod Charging
8. Analog to Digital TV converter
9. and the little Bluetooth U.S.B. thing in my computer.

thats all for now folks, and remember readers...
with great power comes great force multiplied by velocity.

Mission INNpossible

We went down to the mission inn tonight. While we were there we decided to go into one of the crazy stores that sells everything. It was very interesting...


Creepy Baby

Chandra found some pretty cool shoes

while Jer found some pretty cool primates

items on my desk

lamp, lamp(yes, my desk is too big for just one lamp), calculator, thumb drive, cell phone, pen, pencil, graph paper, laptop, monitor(for dual screen), headphones, iPod touch, swiss arm knife, iPod nano, wallet(which include a whole nother list of items), keys, homework

The most exciting part is I bring about 65% of this stuff with me when I leave.

solar

Its hard to buy spray paint.
I went to the store today to get some black spray paint for a solar cooker school project. Apparently you have to be a legal adult and show your ID to at least 2 people. You also have to answer a lot of questions about what you plan to do with it.

I wasn't wearing baggy pants but I was wearing almost all black, which might have bothered the workers a little. But black is in.

It was friday night, at 6:30.

graph

Apparently I work about 8 times more than I should.

I would like to introduce myself.

My name is Zachariah Taylor. (which you should already know since its right there on my profile thing)

woooo.

So as to not make anything stand out and betray my true feelings I am grouping everything together into a block of text that many people will glaze over. I am also putting some of the more embarassing things in the middle so you won't remember them at the end and they won't catch your eye at the beginning.

Sometimes when I wake up I like the way half of my hair looks but know I can never get the other half to look even remotely close to it. I might be shy but that doesn't mean I am anti-social. It is ok to talk to me. I like my computer but sometimes I want to buy a new one even though it wouldn't help at all. I am going to save for a car. Hopefully I can get one very soon because getting to school with my parents car is rather difficult. Speaking of school: I go to California Baptist University. I am a californian. I am a christian. I am not a university.

It goes against everything I believe in to do that to my poor text! I have to seperate things!

I want certain people to succeed really bad. But I feel semi-awkward telling them things like that. I want to like send them a message or tell them you "can do it!" or "good job!"

I would rather talk to one person than a group. I would rather get to know a person individually.

Every month or so I go through a strange struggle. (aliteration!) This personal conflict is over if I should add everyone I know on facebook or just people that I know well. Or should I add people that I want to know. Or should I not add anyone and just let them add me? Which leads to a different problem: which friend requests should I accept? I think about facebook too much I think (I proved my own point with that sentence).

I graph a lot of things without thinking about it. I sometimes graph my speed in my head while I drive. Other times I plot activities on a graph with 4 quadrants according to how urgently I would like to do them and how bad I would like to do them. (Message me to learn more about this system I find it quite interesting)

I am done for now. I actually just read it and think I hid the parts I wanted to hide very well. (what does that sentence mean?)

I made a blog

Apparently I can easily change the layout later. I think I will.
