Don't despair Al, be your own rock, faith in yourself is only worthwhile when it comes from within. Your parents mean well, but they seem confused. You didn't go through the trials for an engineering future only to have it dashed by the misplaced words of your father at the finish line. Try to forgive them later, but for now your resolve is the only weapon.

Hey Guys,

This is just a reminder that the Sleeping Bag Drive-In at the U is on tonight, it will be in SUB Stage, so come on out and enjoy the movies. We're showing Big Fish and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. I know you've been before, so come again, it's going to be fun.

Al, that's some shitty news. But you just gotta use this as incentive to prove them wrong. I know what it's like when your parents don't think you'll amount to anything... it's pretty fucking devastating. I mean, if your own parents have no faith in you, what the hell do you have left? My parents openly disaproved of my dreams to be an artist, musician or something along those lines from pretty much day one, but at this point I've said "to hell with them, I'm doing it anyway". I mean, they don't hate me... but to a large extent I'm mostly a failure to them.


So it goes I guess.

How the hell does Dennis Leary go from the hilarity of the proby & shawn testicular lump sequence to that?!?
Good god, holy shit.

That looks sweet, Al.

How is it possible that the head of FEMA padded his resume in the same way as a character from The Office?!

How Reliable is Brown's Resume?:

Before joining FEMA, his only previous stint in emergency management, according to his bio posted on FEMA's website, was "serving as an assistant city manager with emergency services oversight." The White House press release from 2001 stated that Brown worked for the city of Edmond, Okla., from 1975 to 1978 "overseeing the emergency services division." In fact, according to Claudia Deakins, head of public relations for the city of Edmond, Brown was an "assistant to the city manager" from 1977 to 1980, not a manager himself, and had no authority over other employees.

Even with a full time job I still find a little time to work on Grand Arms.



Well there is the rough sketch of what it looks like. Not going to say much else other then it is called Grand Arms Valkarius, and it is only about 10 percent complete. Probally another 4 months of work still to go into it.

Here comes the mediocre news, it certainly won't really fix the bad news any.

At breakfast this morning my dad asked me what I was going to do with my machining. He didn't think it made enough money to make a decent living. I then asked what that was suppose to mean, I was going to get a engineering job, so it wouldn't really matter for the time being. He then replied that I would NEVER get a engineering job and I should think ahead for the future, I should go to Nait and get a machining certificate or something else. WHAT THE FUCK? I graduated 4 months and 1 week ago, I don't have a engineering job and my parents think it is all over? They were my fucking rock! Why did they lose all hope already? I don't understand... To say the least I'm still shocked. Troy said before he got his engineering job that he reached a low point. This is my low point. Can't they even wait 1 year before losing all hope? I put 5 years of blood, sweat and tears to get that degree! Getting a job is nothing in comparison to getting that degree. I don't think things between me and my folks will never be the same again, 24 years ruined by 1 day.

I only have two type of news for you today, bad news and mediocre news. Well lets start with the bad news.

Ok, stay with me, kids. Picture in your mind one Eric Forman. Transport him to New York, present day. Now, make him a reporter.

You with me so far?

Now, give him a burning hatred for a certain masked superhero, and an alien symbiote that gives him superpowers.

That's right. Topher Grace is... Venom
