So I happened to mention my dilemma to Professor Tinsley about only find 12 total books concerning Britain and WWII. Unfortunately, my intelligent bone must have been broken because she immediately said well did you try "Great Britain" or "England" or "UK" and so I muttered "fuck" under my breath due to my incompetence. But now I'm just racking up the sources. However, my bibliography is due friday along with a biography of Robert Darnton. I also need to start analyzing my sources for British history. Being a history major definitely has its perks and don't get me wrong I absolutely love the subject but this whole writing 20-30 page papers is going to be the end of me before too long.

Manchester library sucks
I have abandoned the Angelos titling because there is an important announcement which needs to be announced. Funderburg Library at Manchester College sucks. Britain is a pretty important country. WWII is a pretty important event. Britain played a pretty vital role in WWII. However, our library sees fit only to have 12 books appear when you put the terms Britain and WWII together. WTF? Its like having 12 books about the north winning the Civil War.
On a lighter note, Entourage was a good episode. However, watching the seasons on tv isn't near as much fun because we can only watch one episode. Normally, we would watch like 4 until it was time to go to bed or we had to switch dvds. But now I have to wait until next Sunday to get my Entourage fix.

I'm sticking with the Angelos titles at least for a little while.
Tonight is entourage night which is always a blast. Hopefully I can get a little homework done afterward. Tinsley's class is starting to become a nuisance. 12 Primary sources and 6 secondary sources by Friday, are you kidding me. I wish I could just write an autobiography but then again that could prove to be just as troublesome. Well I will probably continue this blog later tonight after the 2nd episode of Entourage for the new season is over.

A new empire arises
The title is completely irrelevant. I don't like titles so I think I am just going to use the ones Professor Angelos gives me in my history notes.
So today was a very interesting day for yours truly. Instead of sleeping off my hangover until noon and then laying around all day, I woke up and went to a beef cattle show in Auburn. Now you may think, "wow how weird," but actually I used to show beef steers in 4-H and I rather enjoyed the show. I went his he who is to be named later and she who is to be named later and the wrastler.
Tomorrow is our first baseball games of the fall season. I pitch in game 3 which should begin between 2:30-3. It should be complete domination but who knows. I have some pretty legit adversaries to compete against. So wish me good luck.

The message behind the words
So this is a story I'm making up as I go along.
One day a long time ago in a place far far away there sat Fred. Now Fred wasn't just anyone, Fred was a god. He was in fact the god of dirty gym shorts. As Fred sat there admiring the stars one evening, his long time gf Rachel walked up. Now Rachel was the goddess of the color green and pizza rolls. Needless to say Rachel was much better than Fred, but they were in love so it doesn't matter. Now Fred and Rachel were in a complex situation. See Fred was Jewish and Rachel was not. Now you may not see this as a problem but in a place far far away it was illegal for a Jewish god to date a non-Jewish god, much like 1940's Germany. However, they were apparently in love so it doesn't matter. Meanwhile, down on earth there was this poor traveler. He was constantly on the move and the only person who could ever keep up with him would have been a god or goddess. One day Rachel was flying around pretending to be a red-tailed hawk, when she saw the traveler. She swooped down and asked him his name. "I am Constantine," he said, "and who are you?" Rachel had never revealed her true self to anyone before but for some reason decided to trust this man. She told him her name, however didn't show him anymore than herself as a hawk. As time went on, Rachel and the traveler became closer and closer. Rachel began revealing more and more of herself and Constantine did the same.
Well Fred began to get suspicious of Rachel's actions and in a fit of jealousy he banned Rachel from seeing Constantine ever again. Fred began following her every movement and constantly asking of her whereabouts and who she was talking to. Finally, he locked her in a tower. Now the world was thrown into peril, especially that of Constantine. Imagine a world with no green and no pizza rolls. That was all that life was to Constantine. He loved the color green and because he was a traveler he only had a microwave and pizza rolls.
Constantine could not stand the thought of never having what he loved the most. So he went to a place far far away and climbed the tower to save Rachel. However, when he got to the top she didn't want to be saved. She thought she was in love so it doesn't matter. Even though Fred had done all these things she wanted to stay with him, because he was the only one who had ever cared back to her.
There is a moral to this story however it is one for you to find on your own.

Its Just Life
Have you ever just stopped and looked around at your life? That question will only make sense to those who have done it. But just stop and think about what you have done all in your life so far. In the 21 or so years that you have been alive what things do you remember the best and why do you think that is?
Think to yourself and ask yourself if you ever thought you would be here in the position that you are in now. Whether that be in a serious relationship or just at college or majoring in something crazy. I never thought I would major in history. Not that I didn't like the subject just because I never really saw a future in the major.
Now look to the future. Where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years? What do you wanna be? Is what you're doing now going to help you or make you get to where you wanna be? Are you wasting time on something? Have you fallen into a rut that you can't get out of that you know isn't the right path but its the easiest path and the most enjoyable at the moment? Now here is the hardest question to answer truthfully even to yourself, are you afraid of change?
I don't know what made me wanna blog like this tonight but I was reading and listening to music and just happened to think about it.

60 Posts
Holy snickeys batman, this is my 61st post. Who would have thought I ever had this much to say? Not this guy. But I don't have anything really crazy to say tonight, but I'm going to wing it.
First subject is the rain. I didn't know it was raining until just recently but I absolutely love the rain. Its truly the best thing around. Its extremely romantic to either make-out in the rain or just walk in the rain. I mean look at the notebook, if it didn't rain when they were getting out of the boat it wouldn't be the best movie ever made. Also, rain is perfect for the heat because it cools things off and lets plants grow and stuff like that. I LOVE the rain. When it starts raining and you can hear it pounding on the windows for some reason it makes you just want to curl up and take a nap or read a book or something cozy like that.
Next subject is probably going to be unexpected relationships. I'm not sure if he who is to be named later is still reading this blog or not but if he is this one is directed more to him than anyone. The spontaneity of life is what makes it worth living. Sometimes love can bring you down and sometimes it can pick you up. I'm extremely happy that he has finally been picked back up. No matter the length or severity of this relationship at least it pulled him out of the slump. Kudos to he who is to be named later.
Now onto the subliminal message for tonight. It's never good to count your eggs before they hatch. Many times eggs won't hatch and for all the ones that do you never know when the big one is actually a turkey. I know weird right but I know exactly what it means and know exactly what I want it to mean. But if you think about it hard enough and know me well enough everything will make sense before that other guy/girl has to explain it.
Google Scholar says, "Stand on the shoulders of giants." Now if anything is unclear on meaning that is.
