My brother sent me this last term, it's a nice 39step way to write a college paper... it works for pretty much everything, though.
While I, myself, was never hardcore enough to use it... it's something you can't help but think about.
Spoiler:
How to write a paper in college/university:




1. Sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a well lit place in front of your
computer.



2. Log onto MSN and ICQ (be sure to go on away!). Check your email.



3. Read over the assignment carefully, to make certain you understand it.



4. Walk down to the vending machines and buy some chocolate to help you
concentrate.



5. Check your email.



6. Call up a friend and ask if he/she wants to go to grab a coffee. Just
to get settled down and ready to work.



7. When you get back to your room, sit in a straight, comfortable chair in a
clean, well lit place.



8. Read over the assignment again to make absolutely certain you understand it.



9. Check your email.



10. You know, you haven't written to that kid you met at camp since fourth
grade. You'd better write that letter now and get it out of the way so you can
concentrate.



11. Look at your teeth in the bathroom mirror.



12. Grab some mp3z off of kazaa.



13. Check your email. ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR YET?!



14. MSN chat with one of your friends about the future. (ie summer plans).



15. Check your email.



16. Listen to your new mp3z and download some more.



17. Phone your friend on the other floor and ask if she's started writing yet.
Exchange derogatory emarks about your prof, the

course, the college, the world at large.



18. Walk to the store and buy a pack of gum. You've probably run out.



19. While you've got the gum you may as well buy a magazine and read it.



20. Check your email.



21. Check the newspaper listings to make sure you aren't missing something truly
worthwhile on TV.



22. Play some solitare (or age of legends!).



23. Check out bored.com.



24. Wash your hands.



25. Call up a friend to see how much they have done, probably haven't started
either.



26. Look through your housemate's book of pictures from home. Ask who everyone
is.



27. Sit down and do some serious thinking about your plans for the future.



28. Check to see if bored.com has been updated yet.



29. Check your email and listen to your new mp3z.



30. You should be rebooting by now, assuming that windows is crashing on
schedule.



31. Read over the assignment one more time, just for heck of it.



32. Scoot your chair across the room to the window and watch the sunrise.



33. Lie face down on the floor and moan.



34. Punch the wall and break something.



35. Check your email.



36. Mumble obscenities.



37. 5am - start hacking on the paper without stopping. 6am -paper is finished.



38. Complain to everyone that you didn't get any sleep because you had to write
that stupid paper.



39. Go to class, hand in paper, and leave right away so you can take a nap.

As some have said, I would take a class or two at a community college, for no other reason than to say you are working on college.
People see GED, and they think dropout(I was home schooled and had to get my GED, so believe me, I know.) However, they see your going through college and that opinion changes.

I was going to college, hated it now I'm avoiding it. Really, you just have to get your first few jobs and do a GOOD job. You'll get boss recommendations and maybe some good references, which really help in finding another, better, job.
There are sooooo many out there, a lot requiring very little to no schooling at all. The hardest part is just finding them... a lot of smaller businesses don't even know they could use more help until it comes along, just keep your eyes open for places you would not mind working at. Any goal is better than none.

Now, go out there and offend somebody damn it!

Now I'm off to offend people by walking the streets and yelling obscenities, especially at the children.


Say it like you mean it, friends!

But no really, I pretty must agree.

Even in my early childhood I've had a thought in the back of my mind... Was not till my later years that I fully understood and agreed with it.
You say 'Fuck' and someone asks you not to because they are offended by the word.
So, in essence, they are asking 'you' to limit yourself and change your speaking style to benefit 'them'. And in most cases, the person asked will comply.
But why? Why should YOU place yourself at a disadvantage, although minor, for THEM? Why can't they simply live with it...

Although this scenario is not always correct, and more for example rather than actual practice, you get what I mean. Hindering yourself, to benefit someone else on a matter of such pointlessness... The same can be said for visual censorship.

Ahahah, yeah that's my general approach to things... Either your right, and you expected such. Or your wrong, and pleasantly surprised.

Huh, I've never played it. This just might give me enough reason to start, though.

"Pics or it never happened."

So you all know(or should know) Jacob went to Big Apple Comic Con, as did a number of other Fakku members I'm guessing. And for one reason or another, William Shatner and a number of other celebrities were also at the event.
Sadly though, Jake was unable to get a picture of himself with the Price-Line Mascot due to it being and large, undisclosed amount of money.

So...*gestures above*
Thus defeating the act of over charging a picture of you standing next to a movie star.

Note: Jacob, you owe me 50 bucks

Been about 5 years now... Can't recall what specific even cause the last time, was awhile ago. Nothing overly exciting anyway.
I simply decided it was a pointless thing to do... a waste of energy.
But DAMN if it can't be a difficult pointless thing to avoid at times.
