Being a pirate was not the best thing to be. Many of the things that people know pirates for would have been unpleasant. For example eye patches were often a sign of crickets (from not enough vitamin C) which caused them to go blind in one eye. The romance novels pirates don’t exist. Pirates were hairy and smelly.
Not only this but death by hanging or death by any other form is what awaited any pirate that got caught. (Mary Read for example died in prison. She didn’t get executed because she claimed to pregnant).
As for youth among pirates you’d be lucky if you made it to adulthood to be promoted. Moving up the ranks from powder monkey to gunners mate or gunner was a dangerous and risky journey

By the way no gambling allowed on board. Sad, I know it’s a classic pirating game that you can’t even do on your own ship. But, if you got caught gambling on board punishment would be given.

Being a pirate (with a boat not the internet) would be an awfully lonely job as pirates became an endangered profession in the 1850s.

Being a pirate nowadays is not as fun as it seems. Being a pirate back then was not fun at all. Disease, hunger, injuries and death plagued those long ago pirates. Stick to internet thieving don’t go get a boat.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

I want you to know how much you mean to me. But, because I’m not very eloquent I’ve decided to let others speak for me.

Any astronomer can predict with absolute accuracy just where every star in the universe will be at 11.30 tonight. He can make no such prediction about his teenage daughter. ~James T. Adams (HAHA)

A man’s worth is measured by how he parents his children. What he gives them, what he keeps away from them, the lessons he teaches and the lessons he allows them to learn on their own. ~Lisa Rogers

I overuse this song but I really like it so whatever. A little montage for you.

I’m making you a present too but you’ll have to wait for that.

Happy Birthday Daddy

The Popularity of Laptops

Why are laptops popular?

Laptops by using the familiar, the personal computer, and the pleasing ,being the sleek design and colors, laptops have become part of popular culture.

In America easy and convenient have become important and thus part of our culture and the laptop with its transportability, its small form, its ability to hold our information and connect up to the internet have become more and more important over time because they appeal to our values.

Laptops became possible because of the changing environment in which they were created.

For example without the internet popularity they would probably not have become such a hot item.

In today’s society MySpace, facebook, email, eBay and blogging have become such a high priority to society that the users have to check constantly.

Another change in society which causes the boom in laptops is that often teens and children control the market just as much as the adults do.

Teenagers in the modern age make their own money and keep it to purchase items for themselves and preteens are more indulged by parents in this day and age than in 50 years ago.

Laptops appeal to teenagers because they are an item which is their own and that is usually safe from parents prying eyes.

Not only this, but teenagers are easily swayed by the media through TV, computers and magazines.

Another big change in society is that America has become country of excess.

Here people want the newest, the best, and the most of everything which includes technology.

Finally many employers have company laptops for employees, some colleges require laptops, and many traveling workers have found laptops to be more convenient.

So slowly laptops are becoming something you need to own to survive in today’s society.

In conclusion laptops are a part of society because they appeal to a wide audience, they appeal to American way of life (easy living) and have become a necessity in life.

Britney Spears-iFUseekamy


Written on November 12, 2009 – 12:31 am | by woomel25

Britney Spears song If U Seek Amy was written by Max Martin, Shellback, Savan Kotecha, and Alexander Kronlund. This song has resulted in lots of controversy as Britney clearly spelled out F U C K me in the lyrics. This song has stirred up enough controversy and swayed enough from Britney’s past teasing sexy attitude that one must suspect this of being a ploy for tabloid attention. This song differs quite a bit from the rest of the CD because the other songs stick to her formula of pop songs.

Pop is defined as a type of music with “general accessibility, its commercial orientation, an emphasis on memorable hooks or choruses” Britney Spears tends to have music with a limited range and with simple lyrics and lots of repetition. Making her a great candidate for Pop music. Her music focuses primary on sex and sexuality.
britney-spears-101

The first If U Seek Amy CD was 6th song on the CD. The title of the CD probably makes a reference to the madhouse her life has been with the loss of her kids and and her trips to psychiatric care facility. The CD sold in the first 4 weeks 1.1 millions copies. This CDs cover shows a more innocent version of Britney (although it does show a little tummy) with the pink lace and the feminine look on her face it does make you think of a more naive time. This CD may be part of her goal to show the world that she has changed and is better since the head shaving incident. It not nearly as in your face as some of her past CDs have been such as Britney, Blackout and Oops.. I did It Again.

Melissa Asks that You Connect With Others


Written on November 11, 2009 – 11:50 am | by woomel25

Fellow Students,

One of the important things about college is making connections. College is not just about learning academically, but also learning socially. I want to encourage students to make connections with students outside of their immediate group. There are many people from all kinds of backgrounds and opinions here at Evergreen that have more to offer than you can ever imagine. If you don’t socialize with people from different backgrounds and with different ideas, you limit your understanding of the world. I place a high value on finding people with different opinions as well as like-minded people to befriend because you never know what someone has to offer. In addition, I believe that Second and third years should make an extra effort to connect with others as well. It’s easy to get stuck in a friend rut and only hang with people you’ve already made connections with. However, even if you are only making connections within your own class, you can/should still make the effort to get together with people outside of the classroom so you can get to know them on a non-academic forum.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Student

Not the Usual Student


Written on November 10, 2009 – 11:36 am | by woomel25

I am not the stereotypical Greener. I know at Evergreen we try to see ourselves above stereotypes.  However, most people do see greeners a certain way. With the greener “hippy dippy bullshit”(roomate Chloe) and the hipster attitude toward music. If its a big name label its not good. If you didn’t like it before it was in this movie or that movie then you don’t really like this band. It goes on and on by the way.

This superior somewhat snobby view of greeners does occur on campus. I listen to popular music that just plays on the radio because this music is what I like. I like Celtic music too though.

The focus on feelings on campus I feel can take away from the learning community. Diluting what we learn with emotional arguments. I don’t claim that purely factual accounts should take place but witnessing should be done in moderation. In a world where numbers speak louder than words (partly because of the cosmopolitan world we live in)  Greeners need to be able to use facts in their arguments if they intend to be given any power in the outside world.

Another thing which you may have noticed from my writing style is that most greeners don’t write organized and grammatically correct papers. Many students graduate without even learning some of the basics of writing. I certainly have found the writing center to be unhelpful because the lack of focus on grammar. They focus on content and organization both very important. However, a paper with lots of grammatical errors is given little to no legitimacy by the outside community.

Evergreen in a school where it is what you make of it. Be and do what you want but make the most of your learning. Students need to take contort of their learning and get what they need out of it by seeking out assistance even if it is outside the evergreen community.

A thought


Written on November 9, 2009 – 2:34 am | by woomel25

I’ve recently realized that all of my posts are fairly random. I have also realized that is why the title of this blog is very accurate. Wherever my mind happens to be at any given moment is where my blog goes. Zyanyas page of thought does indicate that this blog will be whimsical. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hamburgers: The Reality


Written on October 22, 2009 – 9:32 am | by woomel25

I’m big business.

I love to make a quick buck. As much as possible and as quick in possible.

I buy my ingredients artificially or from foreign soil.

My business is as cheap as the loopholes in government will allow it to be.

I created the burger. Yet the actual burger is unimportant. The hamburger is just a item for profit. Nothing matters not its effects or its quality.

How cheap can it go? A 0.20 cent burger then sell it for $4? Maybe .

Ads lots of Ads. You want this. BUY BUY BUY!!!

New House, New Husband, New Lover.

Selling to children. The New thing. Burgers need to toys.

People needs 24/7. I will be open always.

Move the business to china.  $2 a day a person.

New boat, more gadgets, more clothes.

Only hire part time. No health benefits that way, No OVERTIME.

Sell. Sell. Sell.

Spa day, Galas, Sex.

This is my burger, look how cheap it is. Care for a bite?

Decided that Urban Dictionary is AWESOME


Written on October 16, 2009 – 9:02 am | by woomel25

Because Urban Dictionary has this definition for Edward Cullen

1. Edward Cullen

A psycho who goes into girls bedrooms to watch them sleep. May or may not sparkle.
“This guy is a total Edward Cullen! Crept into my room again last night!”

2. Edward Cullen

A male in Stephenie Meyer’s “Twilight” series.

Often the focus of female teenage trend-follower’s wet dreams. How can they not? I mean… he goes into the sun and… SPARKLES! “Yum?”

Right, then.

Overall, a “perfect guy” made by a female writer that appeals heavily to young women or teens. The only reason that he makes me happy, is because it sets each and every fan girl up for a large amount of disappointment when they meet a real man.

Enjoy, Twilight fan-girls. Please be sure to write juicy comments.

P.S.: Please do use proper spelling and grammar when responding. It isn’t nice to give people headaches.
My girlfriend is currently trying to remove my nipple for trying to post this entry on the fag, Edward Cullen.

Ow! My Edward Colon!

3. Edward Cullen 1048 up, 330 down love it hate it
1. FICTIONAL sparkly pansy vampire whose only purpose of being is to drop the panties of any girl dumb enough to actually think this fuck is romantic and sexy.

2. Stephanie Meyer’s dream man. She fucks him in her sleep because she doesn’t get enough loving from her family.

3. Abusive vampire thing who is apparently made of stone or marble or some sort of beautiful white rock.

1. OH EDWARD CULLEN, TAKE ME NOW BECAUSE I’M 13 AND STUPID!!!1!!1ONEONEONE!!11!1!1

2. Stephanie Meyer: TAKE ME NOW, EDWARD CULLEN! MARRY ME!!!!

3. Guy: “How’d you get that bruise?”
Twitard: “I was reading Twilight and I was just so turned on by Edward Cullen that I just HAD to bruise myself too! He’s cold like marble, you know.”
Guy: “…..I’m not fucking you ever.”

A vampire from stephenie meyer’s twilight. He is in an adopted family with his father Carlisle, his mother Esme, his sisters Rosalee and Alice, and his two brothers, Jasper and Emmett. Edward is stuck with many problems every day being in love with Bella swan for he thrirsts for her blood yet he has saved her many times. He cares for bella more than anything else in the world.
“Bella.” he stroked my face anxiously. “I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be right here as long as you need me.”
