REDMOND, Wash. - Oct. 24, 1997

In direct response to accusations made by the Department of Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will be acquiring the federal government of the United States of America for an undisclosed sum.

“It’s actually a logical extension of our planned growth”, said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, “It really is going to be a positive arrangement for everyone”. Microsoft representatives held a briefing in the Oval Office of the White House with U.S. President Bill Clinton, and assured members of the press that changes will be “minimal”. The United States will be managed as a wholly owned division of Microsoft. An initial public offering is planned for July of next year, and the federal government is expected to be profitable by “Q4 1999 at latest”, according to Microsoft president Steve Ballmer.

In a related announcement, Bill Clinton stated that he had “willingly and enthusiastically” accepted a position as a vice president with Microsoft, and will continue to manage the United States government, reporting directly to Bill Gates. When asked how it felt to give up the mantle of executive authority to Gates, Clinton smiled and referred to it as “a relief”. He went on to say that Gates has a “proven track record”, and that U.S. citizens should offer Gates their “full support and confidence”. Clinton will reportedly be earning several times the $200,000 annually he has earned as U.S. president, in his new role at Microsoft.

Gates dismissed a suggestion that the U.S. Capitol be moved to Redmond as “silly”, though did say that he would make executive decisions for the US government from his existing office at Microsoft headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would “of course” be abolished. “Microsoft isn’t a democracy”, he observed, “and look how well we’re doing”.

When asked if the rumored attendant acquisition of Canada was proceeding, Gates said, “We don’t deny that discussions are taking place”. Microsoft representatives closed the conference by stating that United States citizens will be able to expect lower taxes, increases in government services and discounts on all Microsoft products.

This prayer is a great message to open people’s eyes to reality. It’s sad how we as a society seem to be against an act that is meant as an positive statement/prayer/thought. We clam how we are free and have the right to free speech and expression but look how one can’t even say a simple prayer in school for the better of everyone. Weather you are in agreement or against prayer in school, this is a perfect message that can not be argued.

I tried to track down the origin of this prayer but it appears it’s uncertain as to when exactly it all started and who actually wrote it. There has been alterations to this prayer as time has gone by. However in my mind the origin or the author is not what is important here. The message has remained the same, clear and to the point. It’s worth the read and I think it’s worth passing on to whom those that wish to read it. I’m not saying to start spamming people, please do not start that we all have enough of it.

This prayer, which is a sad commentary on American society today, was written by a teenager in Bagdad, Arizona.

Now I sit me down in school
Where prayer is against the rule
For this great nation under God
Finds mention of Him very odd.

If Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
And anytime my head I bow
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange, or green,
That’s no offense it’s a freedom scene.
The law is specific, the law is precise.
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall
Might offend someone with no faith at all.
In silence alone we must meditate,
God’s name is prohibited by the State.

We’re allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,
And pierce our noses, tongues, and cheeks.
They’ve outlawed guns, but first the Bible.
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,
And the “unwed daddy,” our Senior King.
It’s “inappropriate” to teach right from wrong.
We’re taught that such “judgments” do not belong.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,
No word of God must reach this crowd.

It’s scary here I must confess,
When chaos reigns, the school’s a mess.
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:
Should I be shot, my soul please take!
Amen.

I would like to wish my wife Jo a Happy Birthday! The kids and I bought her a “Precious Moments 30th Anniversary Watch in Tin“. I wish you to have a great birthday and many more happy years to come!

Love Always,

One day I was talking to fellow Midgard user on IRC at irc.midgard-project.org in channel #midgard. I jokingly mentioned how I wish I could make it by with less sleep so I would have enough time in the day to do everything I want to do. I’m always running out of time to get everything done. Not to mention I’ve always been one to enjoy saying awake at night and sleeping during the day. We all know how that works, especially when you have a wife and 4 children. Anyways out of know where I get this link posted back to me in response to my sleeping remark. To my surprise there is a so called new method of sleeping called the “Uberman’s sleep schedule“. Now honestly I think this is without a doubt dangerous for your health but very intriged. On the other hand I think hey why shouldn’t we be able to shift our sleeping habits but on the other it just does not seem right. Anyways I was intriged by the article that was give to me. I realize it’s old but I still thought it was something worth while to mention and an interesting read.

The Village movie depicts an isolated village with citizens fear of an unknown creature that lives in the forest. Little do the citizens know that what fears them the most is a deep secret going back to when the village was founded.

The story is some want interesting but really twisted. I must say though that towards the end of the movie is quite shocking. The only thing that really made me intridge by the movie was the shocking discovery. Just makes one think what could happen in reality like this. I don’t want to say much more for those that wish to see the movie. I personally say it’s okay but one of those movies I would let someone else pay for, so in other words not really worth paying for movie :-).

This is pretty hard to believe but apparently Nintendo is rumored to be releasing a Game Boy Advance successor as soon as the end of this year. The news article expects that Nintendo will be annoucing at least some information on this on March 10, 2005 at the Game Developers Conference. Nintendo has always said that the Nintendo DS will not replace the Game Boy Advance. Will see what happens. Read the news source below for further details. It’s a interesting read.
