Some Pics from Korea

Here I'm dressed in traditional clothing for a student who has taken a national exam and received first place in the country.

This is a small piece of dried fish that you eat like jerky. It's a little bit bigger than the size of your thumb.

This is the Ginseng Man. He is in Geunsam where the 2006 World Ginseng Expo will be held this fall.

This is what one of our tables looked like after we had lunch. One main dish (beef in this case) and lots of side dishes. Delicious.

 

Congrats to Chris & Melissa!

Now that graduation is over, this coming weekend brings Chris & Melissa's wedding. They've waited 6+ years for this day to come and it's finally here.

Cross your fingers that everything will go well...the weather will be beautiful, the photographer gets to the church on time, the flowers aren't dead on delivery, the DJ has (or hasn't) remembered the "Chicken Dance," and anything else that could go wrong doesn't.

Here's hoping they have a wonderful and magical day they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

Congratulations!

Gradiation

Whelp, today was Graduation Day here in sunny Brookings, South Dakota. It'll be bittersweet, but I am most definetly ready for a permanent change. It's been fun, but I don't want to be here anymore. Get me out of here.

The first highlight of what lies ahead is South Korea. Yep, South Korea. I'll be there for ten days experiencing all that the Far East has to offer (in the southern half of the Korean peninsula).

After that, I'm leaving B-town for good and moving to Pine Island. A nicer place awaits me there. I'll be there for 15 months working at IBM in Rochester until I countinue my journey to graduate school in 2007.

It's kind of like "Bigger and Better", but for the real world. Go ahead world, bring it on.

Everybody's a Comedian...

Except when they're not. Did you ever know someone who thought they were funny, when in reality the closest they'll ever get to being funny is slipping on the ice and falling down? Stupid jokes that are retold over and over again. Jokes that aren't even close to being funny.

Discuss.

Case Day: Beer 3.5 -> If your cat is in heat

• Grab wailing, squirming cat and place it on your lap with its hind quarters readily accessible. Chances are the cat will freely offer them, if not the first time this procedure is followed, then certainly each time afterward.
• Insert the Q-tip into the cat's vagina. It will be exposed and puffy. Do not insert the Q-tip into the other orifice. Either way the cat will begin to scream, but there is a subtle and audible difference in the scream of satisfaction and the scream of rectal pain. Experiment a little until you can distinguish the two.
• Move the Q-tip in and out of the cat's vagina slowly at first, then more rapidly. No need to be gentle, no matter what you do with the Q-tip it beats a barbed cat penis digging around in there.
• You are finished when the cat is finished. You will know when the cat is finished because it will either begin immediately to have a cat orgasm, or it will run away with the Q-tip sticking out of its ass. If this happens let it enjoy itself for a few minutes before attempting to retrieve your Q-tip.
• That is it, you are done. Enjoy the peace and quiet until the cat flares up again.
  
  What to look for: The cat orgasm that follows this procedure is something the likes of which I have never seen elsewhere. It is a wriggling, leaping, moaning dance of ecstasy that defies any experience of pleasure my mind can even begin to grasp. If humans had orgasms with the intensity of a cat serviced in this way there would be no such thing as war, hunger, capitalism or God.
  
  Background: A cat in heat is, with few exceptions, one of the most irritating things to have living in your home. A cat in heat will follow you around and howl at you in a bone chilling, hideous wail until you are ready just to toss it outside and let it get pounded by the local tom's. After a few days of this torture having to drown a few kittens sounds relaxing. This cat-saving technique was first demonstrated to me by a terminally un-squeemish roomate of years past.

Chicken Fucker

If you see this guy on campus (he lives in The Annex, Room 120). Make sure you call him a "[poultry type]-fucker" and kick him in the junk.

Also, if you know me and the story behind this assclown, make sure you kick him again when he's down.

This fool is also in Facebook, address jrbuchanan@jacks.sdstate.edu

Have fun!

Franz Ferdinand

So tonight was one of the best night's I've ever had at SDSU. Besides getting drunk at a house party I had fun talking about the start of WWI and WWII with this guy named Jeff who lives across the hall from the Girl's. It was fun talking about what may or maynot have happene if the US had not entered either war. Whoo, good times noodle salad (extra noodles and butter).

Wake me up when December ends

Ok, so this has been a long time coming. I really love my school and the people that go here, but I'm having some issues with some of the people I live with. I miss living in Byron in my one-bedroom apartment. Now I live with three other people and one in particular who is really getting on my nerves. He's a fellow physics major, but he does little/no work toward his degree. He then gives academic advice to other majors encouraging them to change majors to the "Flexible Physics" option, giving them the opportunity to take fewer high-level courses. To me, this is the embodiment of what is wrong with higher education in America.

As if that weren't enough he's encroaching on my life, or more specifically: he's taking my friends.

I'm a very private person. I don't like to talk about personal things with people unless I can trust them wholeheartedly. This is a very small and select group of people that I care deeply about (if you're reading this, you know who you are). This group is very different from the people I see everyday in class, casually talk to, work on homework and projects with, etc... Anywho, this person is edging into my personal group of friends, and I hate it.

Everyone has their faces they show the world. Everyone does it, but they never realize it. It's kinda like how on Seinfeld when George reacts to Susan doing things with Jerry, Elaine, and Kramer. Your worlds fall apart and there is no refuge from the day to day.

Now, my worlds are colliding. This guy is entering my other life. I can't complain or talk about him to the other group anymore because now they are becoming friends. GD it all to hell.

As I said, I love this school, the professors, my department, and most of all my friends, but this is too much. I'm ready to move to the Cities and start grad school. Only 5 months to go...

**Edit**
On a positive note, I submitted my application to the University of Minnesota today. Here goes nothing!
