You may all congratulate me: I am the highest scorer in my C++ class. I have 58% which is really an F. But I am the highest F of all!

Also got this from arabnews.com. So, I am not the one who is an alien...

Coin from an alien civilization

Coin From an ‘Alien Civilization’
Staff Writer

Al-JOUF, 29 October 2004 — A Saudi newspaper yesterday reported the discovery of what it called a rare coin with unique features that belonged to an ancient civilization. The paper said the coin had an inscription in an unknown language that was not English. It described the coin as having a palm tree with eight branches, a woman sunbathing, a ship and a castle with a dome.

According to the newspaper, the coin belonged to an ancient civilization that flourished in Al-Jouf.

The strange thing is that the “strange” coin, which the paper claimed had an inscription in an unknown language, had Puerto Rico inscribed clearly on it. The coin is believed to have been left behind by one of the tourists visiting the area and does not belong to any ancient civilization as claimed by the newspaper.

Been too busy to even celebrate my birthday this past weekend. Had to go to almost all the political caravans, even the ones I really don't like. Thank goodness the one I do like was very short. (Well, compared to the others).

The following is really none of my or your business, but I am in a voyeuristic evil mode today. This is a very obscure Puertorican Internet rock star gossip. Let's summarize it by saying: old school rock singer (Mattador to be exact), has been humilliated publicly. His messenger conversation logs have been posted and all the ugliness, cheating and two timing has been aired. Why do I bring this up? Well, there was nothing really shocking about the logs- at least nothing out of normal human nature (though you shouldn't call your sweetie PORKCHOP- that's asking for all the humilliation you can get) But, THERE IS A FUCKING GAME YOU CAN PLAY WITH IMAGINARY PRIZES. Wow, hell hath no fury, and you know the rest... Sorry for English speaking friends, to answer the questions first, you must know Spanish, second you must read 400 replies to a mean, gossipping thread. I mention it because I saw it develop from the beginning and I am sadly astonished at what motivates hate after you love someone, and all the etceteras that accompany a story of wrecked love. Also because I won a car, a trip to Africa and a Casablanca Board Game at the game and that is the most exciting thing that has happened to me recently.

Here the complete transcription of the Porkchop incident: The Blue Bench . There are even pictures in the FOTOS link.

Still having problems with my PC. There seems to be something wrong with the hardware and it is threatening with erasing everything again. My friend Luis took out the hard drive, installed it as slave on his machine and recovered my data. Even did it for free, must find him at least a DVD pack to pay him.

Been a little afraid to post in the journal. Everything that comes to mind is a huge FUCK YOU! at the world and I don't want to sound like I am mad at anyone in particular. It is just that many friends are doing little annoying,saddening, worrisome things at the same fucking time. You know, I can take one of you, two of you but almost all of you going loony at the same time?? No fucking way, get your shit together, damnit! No, it's OK, it is not you, I am talking to the guy behind you, yeah, the one with glasses...

Another thing is the melodrama kick I always get this time of year in preparation for the fullblown Christmas blues. I will be 33, and I won't hang in a cross for people's sins, so I don't feel particularly productive and fear that have squandered 33 years of my life. To say the least, I don't wanna grow up just yet, OK?

This is sounding more upbeat than it should. Wanted to post some lyrics, but they are not right. Some other day. Will leave you with these ones instead:

SUMMER HIGHLAND FALLS
Billy Joel- Joelsongs

They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation
In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes
And I can only stand apart and sympathize
For we are always what our situations hand us,
It's either sadness or euphoria...sadness or euphoria.

So we'll argue and we'll compromise and realize
That nothing's really changed.
For all our mutual experience our separate conclusions
Are the same.
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
Our reason co-exists with our insanity
And though we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria...sadness or euphoria.

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
And so we stand upon the ledges of our lives
With our expected similarities...it's either sadness or euphoria.
