Nothing is more efficient than Diesel

Ok, so we have had a bit of a dry spell. I have been very busy doing things that you couldn't possibly understand.

I just installed a firewall on my computer, and for no apparent reason the BBC has been trying to access my computer every fifteen minutes for the past couple of days. I don't know what I could have done to piss off "the company", but they are ruthless and I am screwed.

I also bring some good news. For the past few years, our lives have been missing something — I'll give you a hint — children love it, where-ever it goes there are explosions, and it has huge deltoids. Give up:



That's right he's back! I can't wait to stare into his lifeless eyes, as he draws out his phrases syllable by syllable. I expected the second coming of Diesel to be as the governor of a state, but I will have to take what I can get. This movie is gonna be awesome! The first one was so cool it convinced people that bad-ass meant green ligths on the underside of your car.

"But didn't Vin refuse to do a sequel to this movie 8 years ago when it was relevant?" You ask. Well, first, don't use his first name, you don't know him... no one knows him. Second, this recession is so bad, that not even Keifer Sutherland can car-chase us out. So we brought in the big guns! After all, it is a movie about the triumph of the old-time values of American muscle over Chinese people doing awesome acrobatics with Japanese-made zip.

Does this mean that we have adopted late 90's early 2000 nostalgia? Are Eminem and Saliva going to be ironically cool now, because I had finally gotten "Click Click Boom" out of my head. More importantly, are we going to finally be done with 80's nostalgia? Because that would be awesome.

The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Rageoline is right, I feel terribly un-American for missing the inauguration today, and for teaching Mathematics to University students! The second and third most un-American things after futbol, What? Too elitist to get your hands dirty? Now as I am watching Stephen Colbert photoshop different facial hair on Barak Obama, I wonder how I could miss this wonderful moment in history?

How could I miss the twenty-four hours of mind-numbing news coverage, which will not let me forget that I am watching "an" historic moment. What was I thinking not being elbowed by 2 million people, just to see Cheney become the emporer from star wars? How can I not be slightly slighted by Obama chosing to be sworn in using his middle name "Hussein", how dare he be sworn in using the name of a deliscious Afgahni chicken dish?

But I'm missing the important part here. In this time of war, this time of economic struggle, and this time when (!Spoiler Alert!) the Chinese are secretly planning to invade, we have come together as a united nation to peacefully transitioned our most reveared office. We have focused so much of our hope for the future on our first half-black, half-Abraham Lincoln, half-Jesus, president of the united states. Barack seems to know how to dance, so I think we made the right choice.

While we have a mountain of tough times in front of us, this day seems to have reminded a lot of people, that we have come through a lot to get this far, and the Chinese haven't asked for their 11 trillion dollars yet, so anything is possible. But then again, what would I know, I missed it to teach math.
