Amanda

Yes this is called Amanda if that doesn't get her to read the post don't know what will. hehe
Alrighty for starters lets begin with an easy question so who's my newest awesome buddy pal friend person? Now if you jumped up and yelled out Amanda you should calm down and sit back in your seat, cuz it's not that exciting nor did you have to be very bright to figure that out being that if your on campus, which I doubt any of yall but Amanda is well she's really the only person I hang out with lately and then if your Diedre you've probably heard more about her than you care, and if your neither it's the title and the first sentence, so everyone had a fair chance.


Ok now here's a tougher question who is my oldest friend, not in age, but person thats been my friend the longest. COme on you know this. . . I know you do. . (ps not even I know who you are that you know this). IT's it's takes deep breath
hits enter several times to increase delay





and then jibber jabber



Laoiugf;


Amanda
yes Amanda is my oldest friend, can't remember a time when I didn't know her. I think it's been since I was 2
and ironically it's Amanda B and Amanda C
OK so tons of thoughts have been going through my head as of lately, and yet none of them stay long enough to get posted. There all thoughts that seem like a good blog theme, but nope they all fail. Some of them would have been good for the other blog, but ehh this one wins for now.
The thoughts really fit one of four categories:
me
friends
Diedre
and beliefs, religions, psychology, people, etc.

The me one has had the least thought, and is alot of time in link with one of the others, like how come I'm not allowed to put myself down but you can think miserably of yourself.
That me and Rigo are so polar opposites even in luck somthing goes well for me and he gets screwed, and when my grades were at an all time low he was at an all time high.
and . . . probalby some self criticisms that I can't think of, cuz I"ve been weaving back and forth to my criticizing self.
ps I don't consider that any like deep depression stuff, just a lot of people are like don't put yourself down so I stopped for awhile, but some times its just easier not too.
so friends umm Amanda has kind of dominated this field, and some of a why is she being so friendly to me, I'm the guy everyone ignores, I mean yes there's Daniel and Kristin but there trombones and there's the color guard, but there friendly to everyone, there's Robert but he's robert I would count him as normal I mean he hung around me until I was his friend.
There's rigo but we were like hebrew outcasts
There's Brian but we were neighbors
and finally the only one that blows my mind this much is Diedre
can't find a reason why she . . . would decide to hang out with me much less date me and still like she thinks I'm cute (or atleast used to). . . nuh uh. . .
And then Sarah (no idea how to spell her name) is nice to, with out reason, maybe cuz I"m friend of Amanda's and I get a good laugh cuz she explained why she wasn't sitting by me either, they make me feel as if I'm . . . important at least have some sort of social value
anyhow, whether Amanda realizes it or not she's probably another victim of the web of Scott mwhahaha.

Ok so now for Diedre umm. . . just really really miss her, and other thoughts probalby can't make this for length and sake of sanity, but she'll probably pry the thoughts out of me.

So I'll try and hurry this up with the big miscellaneous one, well the one thing with hanging out with Amanda is it forces you to spend more time thinking of the environment side, so my tree loving side is even more dominant now. but there's also the movie nobelity, which you should go to www.NOBELITY.org but anyhow it with a few other things and people have me thinking about life and cultures, and religions, and wars, and food supply, and population, and global warming, and yes they actually do all fit together thay all matter to human survival or what makes us who we are as a race not an individual. This is probably the complex or confusing area of my thoughts as of late and could have pages and pages of post on them, but no they won't get them for everyone's sake and partialy so I don't use my other excuse of much of it has fled my mind

ok so quotes of the post: (there might be one for each topic)
Religion is man's tool to make unanswerable questions into unquestionable answers (RA found)

"Change isn't magic""You just have to get off your ass and do somthing" nobel peace prize winner she's the mine lady got mines banned, worldwide (US refuses to sign it, even though she's an AMerican who came up with it)

I'll do these later . . . maybe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ok so it's later and I'll knock out both religion and me with one stone I mean quote :-P but it's one thats been on here before on my second month which actually those posts are all, really sad and make me wonder how as much as I suck at english, that those didn't really suck or maybe it's just because it's me and I understand them anyhow:
I've created a world. I've created a world I don't live in. I've created a story full of people, full of life, full of places, full of many things.
In my story the characters have a chance to smile. In my story the characters have a chance to succeed. In my story the characters have a chance to live life.
In my story is it right to let them get hurt. In my story is it right to let them take a wrong turn. In my story is it right to let them ruin their lives.
In my story is it fair to give them flaws, is it fair to set them up for failure, is it fair to let them die. Is it fair to have them go through painful trials, just for my amusement, just for the amusement of the readers.
Or should my story have characters that always smile, are always happy, never have anything go wrong. Theres no excitement in that. . .it's just a story; what do the characters care, they're not people just imaginary parts in a world I have built. Their lives have no signifigance and are only there to please us or teach us a lesson, so what happens to them, the pain the anguish, the failure, and even the death does not matter.
So. . . who created our world.

fast Mugato's Minion

Hey I"m fast
(falls over laughing)
umm. . . I"m a bit confused. . . why or even how I could be considered fast remember I'm the slow I guy I think I ran twice my senior year, once my junior year, maybe none my sophmore year, and well slow back pack pretend runs here, so I've been pretty much inactive and as expected very unathletic.
Well on Friday we were playing Mafia awesome game I'll explain later. and I got tricked and amushed so I took off running to get in front of the commons window so that, I could have a witness and so with nerf gun in hand ran maybe 125 yards. Turned around and had to wait for my two ambushers one on bike to catch up with me the one on foot got there first, and stood catching her breath anyone who's ever fired a nerf gun outside knows 5 feet was to far for us to fire. So we must have missed each other in circles like 5 times before my adrenaline slowed enough for me to think and fire higher so I could get a dart not to fall right in front of her feet, at which point, I was hit. But anyhow both of my teamates who came bolting out of the cafeteria awaiting my ambush and the two people chasing me later were like "you really took off" "you were really fast". To which I'm really confused cuz I"m slow. But since everyone seems to disagree I will steal Robert's title of fast guy.
MAFIA
ok rules of mafia:
there are teams or families
each team has a leader or godfather/mother
Each day you survive you score 2 points for your team,
You can only kill people on your hit list which is emailed to your godparent each morning
For every kill you get 4 points
for every kill on bike (your on the bike) you get an additional 2
for every kill in a car (your in the car) you get an additional 4
You need a witness for your kill and the witness, victim and shooter email the Don the results
The Don is the host of the game and designs hit lists deals with complaints, modifies rules, etc.
Every team has to get atleast one kill a day or your team is on the 5-0 list
If your on the 5-0 list the 5-0 will hunt down a random team member and kill them, unless someone else on your teamdies earlier in the day.
You can't get shot in academic buildings or between 11pm and 6 am or if 15 min before and after an APO event (APO is the org. hosting the game).
Guns must be nerf, or disk (not water) or somthing that won't hurt a close range, and looks ridiculously fake
You can stun for 8 hours people not on your hit list if they have a gun out to shoot you or someone from your mafia, although if there gun is not out and you hit them you die!!

umm I think thats it it's an awesome awesome game that if anyone can get enough people they should try and play and email me I'll help give you details and set it up.

OK now to be my hero (I'm really serious)
Some of you highschoolers should get nerf guns and have a mock shoot out betweent classes or right after lunch, maybe during lunch, it's not only a lot of of fun, but imagine what the masses would do. They'ld like what the __ are they doing. It would be beautiful.
ps during one of the tour southwestern for prospective student things
there was a shoot out and apparently the tour group was completely confused when there was a sudden shoot out full of nerf gun fire.

OK so now for more details on earlier MAFIA ok so I have weird habits and had avoided ever getting ambushed the entire week (thats how long the game lasted).
It's Friday Band ends and my day plan is eat quickly get my laptop put it in my car pick up person I"m car pooling and go home for Robert and Diedre's birthdays.
So I'm thinking another hour and I'm home free that will be 10 points for my team. I was sad cuz the person I was car pooling wasn't on our hit list and it was a perfect set up for drive by, but anyhow. . . I'm being all careful and ready to dart into a building if someone shows up and 2 feet from the door I put down my guard and walk in and realize the person with scores that beats every team on her own except for out team and her roomate (witness for every attack) were standing behind the door, and so i start talking to them (inside) and was like wow if I had been a second later I"ld be dead. They think there all smart and were like "if you were on our hit list" it was the last day so I was pretty confident I was. So I talk for awhile and say I"m on Kathryn's team (my godmother), and then go to eat lunch finding it really odd that there just waiting there. So I go in and see both my god mother and another member. I'm like hey they just left all loud and like oh we missed our chance, and they hush me and are like there right there still where I left them. Turns out my team was waiting to ambush them when they left but Azima and Sara (the two mentioned earlier) were waiting for us. So I ended up talking and sitting there but they were able to out wait us anyhow Azima vanished. I had to leave to pick up person I was carpooling so I absolutely couldn't wait any longer, and Sarah was now sitting with some friends one of which I'm really friendly with who wasn't playing, and was asking if I was doing anything for the next hour and I was no I gotta flea and said I was going to the parking lot to leave. So I go out a different door than normal and Azima called Sarah and Sarah's being like hey mom but Azima's clueless so finally she's like Scott says hi he's got to levae now, but Azima still misses that that means I"m leaving and should be mobbed. As I leave I am all careful waiting for an ambush get some distance and call the two inside telling them that it's safe this way. I hang up.
I see Azima riding her bike toward me, and go to run back to the window as I turn around her room mate is running to catch me. I run to the window and wave at them to pay attention. So then I have my shoot out I get hit and then KAthryn and Lauren come running out of the building like an attack squadron and get both of them they thought my waving and placement was awesome because it allowed them to get behind them and chase them down to their deaths. We started the day 22 points behind and ended 4 points behind them it was awesome.
ps our team name was Mugato's Minions

REST of my LIFE
Anyhow my life has been crazy busy this week. and I haven't been able to get online I haven't had a good night of sleep since Thur. Over the weekend there were 4 birhtdays and a bat mitzvah. Classes are all giving their final tests and papers right now. Life is hectic. I should be studying for a bio test right now but i'm stuck in work the stuff seems easy and I want some communication with out side people and since i haven't been on I"m using this.
ok quote of the day
Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
Blaise Pascal.
not sure I agree with it, but it's a quote maybe controversial probably not.

Passover's over/Xanga

Ok so here's the deal I'm not posting on here to often any more and my reader's are down to an all time low, plus I never get comments. So I'm going to double post the stuff from this blog to my Xanga at
http://www.xanga.com/scalma
I figure this saves the few (one person) who actually check this the trouble of checking every day and gives me hopefully more people that care enough to read this. But to reward those people who really do want to know every detail of my life the other blog, the one at www.swaedon.blogspot.com will be only for those who check it. OK so lots of stuff has happenned I skipped my 2000 dollar concert today it was 2000 not to go and 2008 dollars to go. Yay for the school raising the tuition 2000 dollars a student to give us one massive concert because the students complain there's nothing to do on campus. GOd I hate people. I've decided I love persons and hate people. I used to hate when authors would use the word persons it bothers me, but single people are awesome together usually they suck. and yet I joined APO
uh buh dub
ok so Passover my seder sucked but I told everyone it was awesome. cuz I mean . . . I don't konw just seemed like the right thing to do. I was rather frustrated, and what sucked more was this was after I go off and convince Diedre oh no it won't be awkward, and the book we use where did that come from, I don't get it did the synogauge throw out the old books and gave us older ones I mean. . .ahhh anyhow, the language of the book completly sucked and made it sound all old and ritualistic which it is but you can use modern language and make it fun
Then all of the USYers were leaving early, and it was so frickin crowded. Plus we missed the beginnign which I didn't think anything of excpet I realized it explained some stuff I wanted Diedre to hear cuz I think it's awesome but oh well.
Umm. . . felt kind of a$$ holish when I was hearing to people be like yeah when I talk to my ex I never talk about my new boy/girl friend, which makes me be like oh I"m a wonderful friend right.
And I've pretty much been starving since passover I heard some rumour or maybe dreamed it that they would have passover foods, hehe hehe yeah right
they had stuff I could eat twice other than their salad and pudding
and the first one I didn't get I mean I broke kosher to keep passover one day which is dumb and rediculous
but today was the whole line was good for Passover I was in awe
I mean you know how full you feel after eating a full potatoe loaded with stuff, I ate that and the rest of my meal and still felt like I hadn't eaten anything, but felt kind of pig like and didn't get anything else.
Plus I had to go I forget why
umm. . . I can eat bread now i can eat bread now of course I have none and I bet those last 3 pieces of matzah will last the rest of the year because everyone's probably tired of it now.
Ok so

monopoly and 10K for life

monopoly because me and Jessi have a monopoly
yes we are the only suppliers of a commodity in the entire world
What's kind of awesome is this is commodity with importance in the scientific community
We are the only source world wide to get seperated apple snail eggs that have not had their flavor or chemical make up changed. Which is important if you plan to use them.
Unfortunately we still get payed minimum wage
Ok so I think everyone who's keeping up with has heard of my chickening out of the 10K run which is about 6.4 miles. My excuse was I didn't have $25 to waste after the ticket
Well there was Relay for Life I volunnteered for, and we left at 4 to make luminary bags, or somthing like that basically for every so much money people donated they could get back in honor of a survivor or in memory of. . . not a survivor of cancer. WELL THEy kept selling more and more and they had to be in alphabetical order< and we were short on room so were putting them close together< and YEAH it was starting to be a pain< AND My computer is freaking out and thinks I'M HOLDING DOWN SHIFT SO I CANt get the non shift buttons ha if just fixed itself. Ok so, after that APo had to keep some one going on the relay for life (basically someone walking on the track) from 7pm to 7am. So I went and ask what people didn't sign up for so the two head people wouldn't have to walk as long alone once everyone left.
But he was useless and gave me nothing so I went back cuz my ride did and talked to Diedre and once she went to bed I decided to go and got there 12:15. I stayed till 3:40 and walked 30 laps I think 4 of those were actually a very very slow jog. but basically each lap was a quarter mile. So I went further than the 10K in the middle of the night and it would have been awesome and amazing if the stadium lights wouldn't have been on it was a clear night the moon was out, and the stars should have been so visible, but the fricking stadium lighting hid all but one star. WE looked andlooked and really only found one star. cuz usually if you look harder you start finding a few more nope not this time.
Ok so now for semi formal diner in an hour, and I guess I shouldn't go in sweater, tennis shoes, and jeans, so I'm gonna dress up see it wouldn't be so bad but it's not like there's anyone there worth dressing up for, or any one super special I get to see for dressing up
huh seems like such a waste of effort
Oh well at least I'm a guy and my effort is almost nothing, compared to them that were like hey semi formals's awesome cuz it's the only other time you get to use your prom dress. The sad part is I'm only gonna make a really small sliver of the dance, cuz of work and when the dinner gets back. Unless I underestimated the group but we leave at 7 for REd Lobster, holy crud thats expensive, so I'm gonna see how cheap I can go there. anyhow then work at 10 so will see how long it all takes.
I;m figureing 9:30 we should get back, and should have 15 min buffer so maybe 9:45 in that time I have to pop my head in and sign in to say I went to semi formal and then get to lifeguarding hopefully change so
ok quick quote of the day before i get off
oh I'll do it later somthing about
"love is as powerful as death"
