			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I drank <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_luwak">Kopi Luwak</a> today.  It is, hands down, the best coffee I&#8217;ve ever had.  In case you don&#8217;t click links, what makes the Kopi Luwak special is that it was basically eaten and &#8230; passed &#8230; by a Asian Palm Civet cat (<em>Paradoxus hermaphroditus</em>.)  A friend of mine from work bought it from <a href="http://www.animalcoffee.com/">Animalcoffee.com</a>.</p>
<p>Problem is, now normal coffee tastes like shit.  Pun intended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just saw <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2007/EDUCATION/06/18/no.touching.rule.ap/index.html?33">this article</a> on CNN.  Apparently a middle school in Virginia has banned&#8230; wait for it&#8230;&#8230;. touching!  Not touching in a sexual manner, but just touching.  Hug someone?  Detention!  Give someone a high five?  Detention!  Pick a bug off someone&#8217;s head?  Detention!</p>
<p>Why ban touching?  Well apparently the principal is worried that someone will see someone giving someone else a high five and think &#8220;well if HE is giving a high five, why can&#8217;t I punch someone in the face?&#8221;  No, really&#8230; the guy is that stupid.  Here&#8217;s a quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You get into shades of gray,&#8221; Kilmer Principal Deborah Hernandez said. &#8220;The kids say, &#8216;If he can high-five, then I can do this.&#8217; &#8220;</p></blockquote>
<p>Shades of gray?  How does this idiot run a SCHOOL?  I can&#8217;t wait for Ava to goto school&#8230; she might get expelled for sneezing (also known as distributing a possibly deadly virus into the air.)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In Pakistan, they held an annual kite flying festival where <a href="http://www.breakingnews.ie/World/?jp=CWSNSNGBGBSN&#038;rss=rss2">11 people were killed, and 100 people injured.</a>  HOW do you get killed at a kite flying festival??</p>
<blockquote><p>
The deaths and injuries were caused by stray bullets, sharpened kite-strings, electrocution and people falling off rooftops yesterday at the conclusion of the two-day Basant festival, said Ruqia Bano, spokeswoman for emergency service in the city of Lahore.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Wait wait, sharpened kite-strings??</p>
<blockquote><p>
Kite flyers often use strings made of wire or coated with ground glass to try to cross and cut a rival’s string or damage the other kite, often after betting on the outcome.
</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh that makes sense.  Here I thought Charlie Brown was starting to freak.  &#8220;Stupid kite-eating tree!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Me and Di have run into these scammer people 3 times now.</p>
<p>About a year and a half ago is when we first ran into them.  It was a couple in their late forties, I&#8217;d say.  Anyway we were in Target looking for a mother&#8217;s day card when they approached us.  The woman pretended to look at cards, while the man talked to me.  He started with &#8220;do I know you from somewhere?&#8221; and then said &#8220;Did you go to college around here?&#8221;  Then he said that he probably knew me because his &#8220;friend was a professor there&#8230; you look like you could be one of his students.&#8221;  He made sure to mention the name of one of the buildings, although it was a building that houses no business classes so I knew I had never been in it.</p>
<p>He latched onto Diane when he found out that at the time she was looking for a job in graphic design.  &#8220;Hey, I work for a company looking for advertisers&#8230; I can get you a job!  Let me get your number.&#8221;</p>
<p>Diane got a bad feeling and never met up with him.</p>
<p>A few months later we were in Lowe&#8217;s Foods in Cary and we ran into them AGAIN!  This time he asked Diane if she was a student around here, and that she &#8220;looked like she could be one his professor friend&#8217;s students.&#8221;  His wife was VERY interested in the bread aisle while he said this.  I told him we were in a hurry, and I think he picked up on the fact that he&#8217;s seen me before anyway.</p>
<p>Today we were in Lowe&#8217;s AGAIN and Diane saw them stopping another young couple.  I&#8217;m not sure what they&#8217;re up to, but it stinks.  I want him to start talking to me again because I want to actually go through with meeting him (giving him a fake name of course) because I want to know what the hell he&#8217;s up to!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of things I want.  Right now I&#8217;m currently keeping my eye out for a new iMac (possibly coming out in 2 weeks) so I can add to my Apple collection.  Eventually I want a new car.  It would be nice to have a Nintendo Wii when it comes out.</p>
<p>But what do I REALLY want?  What does every man need?  His castle?  Sure.  A loving wife?  Yup!  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product//B00067F1CE/ref=cm_aya_asin.title/002-4540133-3073648?ie=UTF8">A JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank</a>?  Damn right!<br />

</center><br />
Thats right, on Amazon you can now get your own friggin&#8217; TANK.  This ain&#8217;t no Family Guy episode, your own personal Star Wars looking tank for only $20k!  Just check out these features:</p>
<p>- 6hp Tecumseh gasoline engine, top speed 40 mph.<br />
- Includes head/tail and turn signal lights, trim and underbody lighting.<br />
