funny conversation with my brother

regarding his 6 month old son, Jack.

Matt: off to bed...babies are good. jack rolled over today. he also almost threw up in my mouth.
Chris: yuck
you must be so proud?
Matt: yeah, that would have been gross.
Chris: so long as he doesn't get stuck face down on that head of his
Matt: they're fun to hold up and have them look down on you, but it's dangerous
Chris: it seems it
Matt: his head is a little more proportional now.
Chris: the thought occured to me when i was there
Matt: but not much
Chris: i'm going to feel bad when they're teenagers
Matt: me too. they're gonna push me around
Chris: but i'll be gigling on the inside
they're gonna be really cool kids
so yeah
Matt: we'll both be depressingly old when they're teenagers.
Chris: you're in trouble
speak for yourself
Matt: i'll be 48 when they go to college
wait
Chris: i'm working on a potion
Matt: what the fuck! 48!
jeez
Chris: 30 was no problem?
Matt: crap
30 was fine
Chris: i'll be 42ish
Matt: 48 sounds f'ing old
Chris: ahh!
get out of my head
Matt: i don't want to be 48?
Chris: closer to the finish line my friend
Matt: i mean, i don't want to be 48!
how old does that sound!
Chris: we have some time
it's ridiculous
Matt: ok, now i feel old.
Chris: it's stupid, it's a stupid age
i feel old too
i'm 42
Matt: i'm almost 48
Chris: in 18 years, but yeah, start working out
Matt: 30 didn't sound bad, but 40 still sounds old
Chris: but you'll be less stressed
well, other than the dying soon thing
Matt: maybe i'll feel the same way about 40, in which case i've already started kidding myself
Chris: but they'll be older, and you won't be running around as much
Matt: no, people will live on as heads attached to robots by the time i'm 60 or so.
Chris: right on
Matt: that's what i'm counting on, at least
Chris: it's possible
Matt: crap
Chris: just the other day i saw a tiny flashlight
so, you never know
Matt: good thing i spent my 20s in a f'ing hospital.
how tiny?
very tiny?
Chris: real tiny
Matt: wow
so there's hope
Chris: i hope so
Matt: hopefully
i can hear the wheels turning as you try to think of another word with "hope" in it
Chris: we can only hope
Matt: hopetastic
Chris: hopelicious
Matt: hopetacular
Chris: hopediculous
Matt: hip-hope
Chris: hopetacular

Matt: i win.

Chris: get 'em in
Matt: ok, sleepy night-night time
Chris: you won't remember this after a while
goodnight old man
Matt: i should stop saying that

Best Essay Ever.

For real.

The Honorable Christopher Shays 1126 Longworth Building United States House of Representatives


Dear Representative Shays,

I'm a 13-year-old kid so you probably won't care about or even read what I am about to write but my social studies grade counts on it so I'll write on. I am writing to tell you about a bill that I wrote. You see, Chrissie, I am a genius so my bill is no less that brilliant. Immigration is an important issue because people older than me say that it is. This needs to be solved because Connecticut alone spends an amount of money on illegal immigrants every year. That's more money than we spend on other things!

Some the points on my bill include setting found illegal immigrants on a track to citizenship. This will help to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in America. To keep immigration from Mexico to a minimum there will be a quota of 100,000 legal Mexican immigrants per year. Now most immigrants from Mexico are not here legally so I thought that the fence on the border of Mexico should be twenty feet tall, flat, cast in steel, and lubricated. All of these ideas are outstanding and ingenious and should be put in place as soon as possible.

There are a lot of illegal Mexican immigrants in America. Because these people came into this country illegally they are breaking the law, they are criminals. These felons need to be stopped. The amount of illegal immigrants in this country is a number that is more that one hundred. The amount of money that the government spends on education for babies popped out by Illegal immigrants once they are over the border is, in my opinion, costing us a lot more than the money that they bring in.

One example of my ideas working out in an historical scale is the Great Wall of China. You can't tell me that if you were a resident of Mongolia whom was longing for an egg roll that you would not want to try to hop over that monster. It also worked way back when the Chinese were at war with the Mongols. An example from American history is when we used to have an immigration quota things worked out great plenty of good stuff happened. Also, I bet that you cannot give me one example from history when it was easy to climb a lubricated fence.

This bill is constitutional, fair and necessary because when our forefathers established this country and immigrated here they wanted to be original and did not want any copycats to storm into this country and claim it as their own when there are clearly people already living there. Come on, that was our idea. You should really think about what I have said Topher I mean it for real Holmes.

The Big Three - and Second World Countries

Really fascinating article in the NY times magazine. I believe it's excerpted from a book. It's long, about 8 pages. If you're not up for the length, I'd suggest reading the first page, and then the last two pages. He (or she) talks about the lack of American Hagemony in the world, in deference to a big three of superpowers, America, the EU, and China. America is facing a new position in the 21st century. What's dope about this article is that the author actually suggests how we might go forward in the world. How we might actually deal with the changes of globalization. How terrific. Someone not just telling us how it's going to change, but to give us solutions too. America may be facing a new position on the world, but it may not be such a bad thing. Interesting.
