  1. i'm about ready for all of em. I can pretty much guarantee that ozuna can get a better OBP as long as we don't wear him out too much. So ozuna/gload/mack...it doesn't really matter that much to me...just get a god damn leadoff hitter with at the very least .340
  2. QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 10:01 AM) Now that I am thinking about it, I think Alg 2 may have been required also. I was in the AP program so I was all messed up. I had music also. I don't see why it can't be required all 4 years me neither... and i totally agree. 4 years of required phys ed and 2 of math shows where the priorities are. And i agree with the 4 years of phys ed considering the weight problem.
  3. oh yeah you're right. i learned it in business classes too.... 4classes had accounting formulas...anyways i think math should be required for 3 years i don't care what any kids whine about.
  4. QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) Am I the only one that never had to take a single art or music class after 6th grade? I took shop, drafting, Spanish, computer and business classes as my electives. Everything else was filled in by the basic stuff that everyone had to take. Math, science, english, gym, etc... About dress codes, there are many companies out there that have some of the most satisfied employees simply because they don't have have a dress code or even a set schedule. There are even some places that have rec rooms in the building for the employees with video games and basketball courts. Some allow them to bring their pets to work with them. My company has a fairly loose dress code, any shirt with a collar and dress pants. I set in the basement in a cubicle and nobody ever sees me. I'm pretty sure if I came in wearing jeans and a t-shirt (which is allowed on Friday) I'd get the exact same amount of work done... Actually no, not really. That's what TurboTax is for. I've never taken an accounting class in my life. To tell you the truth, a good 80% of the classes I've taken in high school and even college I've never used and probaby never will. 3 years of Spanish and I barely remember any of it. Haven't figured out a good use for the Trig or algebra classes I took. I took electricity 1 & 2 but the most I've ever done is change an outlet or two in my house... accounting formulas are usually taught in stat and calc classes anyways.

    You're fired...

    it is radioshack dudes. I mean, I wouldn't be upset if the post office fired me via mail.
  6. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) I understand that. I also recognize that I should be hired by my qualifications, not by the shirt I wear. If you look at some of the richest people in the world, they got there by doing something different, not by conforming. If anyone would take a second and realize that difference is good (and it's a bit shocking that nobody wants to see it from this perspective as Chicago has a HUGE artist community, and not to mention one of the biggest art schools in the country, Columbia College -- a school that promotes difference and does a damn good job doing it) then perhaps the "real world" wouldn't be about "professionalism". Baseball players get contracts on account of how well they play baseball. This is the way it should be everywhere else. when were you last in a high school, its an example in conformity in itself...might as well make the conformity on the schools terms. Kids are dumb anyways...but i hated high school, so my opinion could be skewed

    QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) Let's just say it's awkward when your roommate has a girl in the room up on his loft watching TV one second......then me and another friend of mine look up and there's a blanket bobbing up and down. Perfect opportunity to mess with a logged-in Facebook though. awkward? seems pretty normal to me
  8. Dye LITERALLY is the greatest ballplayer in the HISTORY OF THE WORLD green. i love dye. I hate that i'm away at school now and can't see this hot streak. Dag NABBIT!!!
  9. can't believe we gave up that many runs...but i guess if you're gonna score 12...you may as well give up 11
  10. QUOTE(BobDylan @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 03:02 AM) Sara - Bob Dylan Tiny Girls - Iggy Pop 300 MHz - At The Drive In Family Tree - Belle and Sebastian Everyone's a VIP to Someone - The Go! Team O Caritas - Cat Stevens The Magnificent Seven - The Clash I Belong to Glasgow - Ramblin' Jack Elliott Open to Ideas - Faces Oh Had I A Golden Thread - Pete Seeger I'll make a bet that I have more jazz music than you. With 15,000 songs in my library, the odds that "shuffle" hits a jazz song is probably is about 1/100 when I can only put down 10. I have plenty of blues and soundtrack music too. A little slim on classical, but its there. Also note all the folk shuffle hit in my library, eh? Tim Buckley is waaaaaaaay better than Jeff. And most people don't know who the hell he is. song to the siren is the saddest, awesomest song i've ever heard...well...up there...however...jeff buckley means a lot more to me. For a debut album, it was beautiful, and fresh, and sounded like early nineties but didn't sound like it came from early nineties at the same time. Timeless. But tim buckleys discog is a goodie thats for sure.
  11. not up yet...soon my writing is still so rusty and horrible and tense...certainly weak in comparison to LCRs, i'll put it in my sig when its up for the hits... prolly will be www.45rpmzine.com , just a hobby to write in between journalism stages at the U.
  12. after having to suffer through the new ben kweller to review it for my website...i enjoyed getting to shuffle.. The beach boys - God Only Knows Junior Boys - Caught in a Wave Squarepusher - Red Hot Car Lou Reed - I'm So Free Fugazi - Bulldog Front The Beatles - I'm Only Sleeping Daft punk - WDPK 83.7 fm yeah yeah yeah's - bang Elliot Smith - Bottle up and Explode Destroyer - Watercolours in the Ocean
  13. QUOTE(RX Bandits @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 07:47 PM) ahh the same article that dylan said "nothing good has been released in the last 20 years." sorry Bob, you're washed up. his new album is really good IMO... may not be relevant to todays music, but its an interesting look at the world today and musically sound. I loved it in fact. I love the album.

    QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 03:48 PM) I learned the secret, you buy them online from places and htan sell them back. There were a few books that I was able to sell back for about the same price I paid for them. Of course it took me till my final year to derive this ingenius plan. However, you alwyas get stuck with books you can't sell back because new editions are always coming out. When thats the case I stick mine up on half.com and I've had some decent luck on there. whoa...brilliant
  15. QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 05:06 PM) I didn't have one until this past Father's Day, and I'm still not 100% into the damn thing. At least it's not freezing on me anymore (knock on wood) - I guess I had a corrupt music video file on there or something, when I deleted all my music videos from it, the freezing stopped. I'm getting used to it, though - it is nice to use it at work to listen to music or the occasional (but very rare) podcast. I only listen to two podcasts - The Rock & Roll Geek Show and Destroy Your Radio. But since I didn't bring the pod to work today, NO shuffle for now! i enjoy KCRW's morning becomes eclectic quite a bit. They are mostly non electric sets but offer glimpses to unknown artists, and different versions to artists songs by the well known artists.

    QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 02:39 AM) It worked out real well last year to be honest, did my best in school since like 7th grade. Like snb said, it's basically knowing which classes you can get away with not going to. Lectures for the most part are pointless to me cause notes are on the internet a lot of times or whatever. Just cram the night before a test and you can get by. no, like i KNOW, but i just can't...i can't bring myself to do it. I'd have too much anxiety. Been this way for a while...i still slag behind but as long as i went to class i feel like i'm invincible. It's weird. I can't explain it well.
  17. so you just gotta add the percentage to win the division and the percentage of the wildcard for total percentage!!!

    there seem to be 3 tracts in college: 1)The kids that go to class but don't buy the books cause they realize the teacher just goes over the s*** in class. 2)The kids that don't go to class but know the books by heart cause they know that the teacher just goes over that s*** in class 3) And me, the kid whose too scared to do either this early in his career.
