Diagram Response

This diagram shows to anyone who may be unlearned in the areas of anatomy and science, a detailed analysis and composition of the human skeletal systems. However, this particular diagram cannot be found within the confines of any doctor's medical text book. As such, I believe that some explaining is in order to bring anybody unfamiliar with scientific lingo. Starting with the top section of the human form is the "air-head" which is more commonly referred to as the cranium. However there is no need for any med school wanna-be's to explain this one. Any college student is perfectly capable of explaining the difference between someone with a cranium and an individual with an air-head. The term defines a person who typically has a much, much harder time understanding difficult (or simple) concepts. A standard test designed to determine if an individual has been birthed with a air-head is the IQ test. If one's intelligence quotient falls below 50 they are almost always a person with an air-head.

Ignorance is located at the base of the brain and is typically found in normal levels in 95 percent of the population. Monks and pacifists tend to have lower levels while males watching sports and females under the influence of PMS have higher levels of ignorance.

The tat-bone is unnecessary and is typically used by idiots who feel the need to impress anybody with a pair of eyes by means of a tattoo placed on the tat-bone (located in the medial region of the lower shoulder).

Skipping several anatomical features that are fairly tame and unnecessary (like you appendix) the next structure that is noticed is the sex bone. For any number of descriptions about this particular body part can be found at your own discretion using the following online tool. (Be warned, any and all search results do not necessarily retain any legal or ethical affiliation with this post!)

The final body part that will be discussed is the infamous twinkle toes. Not very many humans are gifted with twinkle toes and those that are typically are the types of individuals that make history. Twinkle toes are not very well documented within the scientific world although in the media twinke toes are ocassionally prevalent and always entertaining. Two examples of twinkle toes may be found here. And here.

I would like to give credit where credit is due and thank "The Office" for this game. If it were not for the writers then I would not have had hours of wracking my brain playing this game constantly debating with my friends about which bands would or would not make the cut.

However, I feel that after quite a long affair that I have made out of this, I finally have a list that I would most likely be content with should I end up shipwrecked on a desert island with only these albums. I also need to point out that this list is in no particular order. Rather, this is just the order that I ended up typing these bands.

These bands constitute a good Desert Island Top 5 because of their diversity and the one thing that they all have in common: they are excellent bands with fantastic work. Being stuck on a desert island would be quite unfortunate and would be made infinitely worse if you had no music but it would be almost just as band if you were stuck there with just a single album to listen to. As such, it is necessary to have diverse bands whose albums are true works of art, not just the same song every track.

I felt it quite necessary to include some of the early Red Hot Chili Peppers work because they are a band that has stood the test of time, groupies, and drugs. Not that the last two are terrible, but the fact that they have existed for so long and have continuously made good music is important. Californication is one of America's most important albums in my opinion because it talks so much about our culture. Furthermore, RHCP simply rock and as such they are on anyone's top 5 as long as that person truly enjoys unique rock and roll.

I already posted about Arcade Fire, and their album Funeral would make my top 5 because of their diverse sounds and astounding lyrics.

If anybody is a true rock and roll fan then Kings of Leon are essential on a deserted island. From amazing guitar riffs to intense jamming solos intertwined with Caleb Followill's unique verses, Kings of Leon would never cease to please someone trapped on a desert island.

I feel it is necessary to say that I actually did like The Shins when they were truly indie music and were not the band that everyone thought of when the word indie started being thrown around. As such, it is pertinent that their first album, and in my opinion possibly their best, be placed on the list. James Mercer's strange vocal stylings combined with some truly interesting song writing and pop folk/artsy sounds promise to remain fresh while stranded.

And finally I chose Iron & Wine for their soft acoustics and Sam Beam's soothing voice. Although this album has one of the saddest songs I've ever heard (Naked as We Came) it also has some of the best songs that owe their strength to their simplicity. With only a swooning voice and a plucking guitar, the best tracks are the ones that are not overdone in the least.

As a native of Omaha, Nebraska I have experienced some taste of city life. But not really that kind of city life that is associated with the term city life. Rather, I have experienced a mere taste of the "big city life" by living for many years in Millard, a suburb of the moderately sized city of Omaha.
However I do have to say that my fascination lies equally divided between city and rural lifestyles. I do see pros and cons of both and am glad to have been able to experience the two. There is a certain fascination regarding the hustle and bustle of the big city that seems to have developed somewhere around the area of industrialization. Although cramped working class workers living in cheap tenement housing is not my idea of an interesting or fun time. Rather, I find amusing the hustle and bustle of the big city that developed during such a time. The never-ending cycle of life has proved both fascinating and addicting. Due to a now developed twenty-four hour society that we live in it is possible to find anything to do at all hours imaginable.
Unfortunately Lincoln and Omaha do not have such a deeply developed lifestyle such as the much larger and livelier.
And now to get to the point. An all night society is very enjoyable. I personally find great pleasure in walking down the streets of Omaha (downtown in the safe areas-sometimes unsafe) and Millard late at night and finding a myriad of things that are completely different than they are during the day. Furthermore I believe that while I find late night Omaha rather interesting I would be far more amused with what a larger city has to offer. Wandering streets without a purpose or destination, the journey would be all that I desire.

Of course this is just an artist's interpretation of what an awesome semi-unreal night life scene could become. Although who can say what people can or can't do now with technology. Perhaps such an experience is not entirely uncommon nowadays. Or maybe you just need to become an insomniac to truly experience this life.

Essay from Older Post

"Although word “novel” does not actually spring great words and hopes into my head, but it does bring a sense of travel and imagination with it."
This was said by Meghan Koehn in her blog this previous semester.
As a child in my reading experience I would have been terrified of a novel, particularly those novels that I would find intriguing at this point in my life. The sheer size and volume of a novel would do exactly as Meghan said "not actually spring great words and hopes into my head". I would have found a novel to be something of a chore to read due to my inability to comprehend the work that was put into such a piece. Also I would not be able to view it as a work of art like I now know novels to be. I firmly agree with Meghan and would say that she said it truly eloqently describing a novel as containing "a sense of travel and imagination". This seems to true when I think about it even more.
First off it would be necessary to say that when I first hear the world novel that I think of "The Lord of the Rings". Although when most people talk of the astounding nature of this trilogy they refer to the movies instead of the novels. Unfortunately that is what America and the world has come to with technology available to us. Perhaps the novel as we know it will someday be lost or regarded as we currently think of heiroglyhpics that are embedded upon pyramid walls.
However, the epic nature of the novel has fortunately not yet been dismantled by our society and as such people are free to enjoy the infinite possibilies of journey within a novel. Furthermore one can now utilize technology (which will eventually destroy the novel in my opinion) to enjoy novels.
I would like to conclude this post with an excerpt from the movie version of "The Lord of the Rings" and hopefully people will take my word and see that if the movie was good that the novel version is infinitely more incredible.
