"California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Tuesday he welcomes a public debate on proposals to legalize and tax marijuana, which some suggest could provide a lucrative new revenue source for the cash-strapped state...." I definitely do not think this is a good idea. I mean sure people who smoke pot always find ways of obtaining it but they have to pay a decent amount of money. If it's legalized, not only will it be publicly accessible to all but it will also cost less money to obtain. So this will only lead to more people being high all the time and how good can that possibly be... Read the rest of the news here....

Face Off
I don't know how many of you saw "Face Off" the movie starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage so I'll do a quick synopsis. The characters in that movie have their faces removed and switched with each other so now Travolta is Cage and Cage is Travolta. It's pretty interesting but of course in modern medicine in was near impossible. But not anymore.....
Only too true
As college students we are easily distracted by the "internets". When we have school work due we make sure that we procrastinate till the very last minute until we have to do it. One of the main reasons for the procrastination is the internet. There are just so many things on it that it's just impossible not to get distracted. I mean there you are typing your paper and on the background your browser is open and you stumble on to something interesting, you just lost an hour of work time reading something while you could have been writing your paper. Anyway I happened to find this on some site which I thought expressed my thoughts exactly.
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.

The World Map In The Eyes of George W. Bush
Sure he may be gone from office, but the jokes on him haven't stopped. He may have had one of the worst presidencies in the history of the U.S. but he has given us quite a bit of material to keep ourselves entertained. I stumbled upon these two great pictures of what the world map looks like in the eyes of George Bush.

Piano
One of my most favorite instruments is the piano. I never got a chance to learn it but at least with this cool new site I found, I can pretend to play. It's not the same thing as playing the instrument but it will satisfy me somewhat maybe it will satisfy you somewhat as well.
