In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Ellis Henican interviewed Joe Biden about the "dead" health care plan. During every question Biden cut off Henican or started to move on to a different topic every time he started to feel trapped. He even said the world Nimrod and that he would even throw Ellis under the bus. During his next interview with two women, Margaret Hoover and . I believe that he was a complete idiot on TV he sounded very up professional and diffidently not like the Vic President of the United States. He sounded like a school boy who was sitting in the principal’s office denying everything bad that he did at recess. He covered everything tonight, things from the death of a trainer at sea world, to tiger words, to the bill. May I please say again that he sounds sooooo stupid! I cannot believe we voted him as are vice president.
Three men were killed by a man named Ramos in San Francisco and Biden had the nerve to say that it was ok that bill was dropped and stopped himself from saying Bulls***. Now that pot is legal in California Biden decided to cover that issue as well. He even said that if people on the news came in high we would have no anchors. He did not make a good impression to me so I can’t imagine he did on many Americans tonight.
Yet the part that leaves me the most upset from tonight’s talks and the meeting with congress today is the comment Obama made if we don’t agree on this bill we will just have to live with the choices that are made for us. WTF!? What happened to freedom of rights?
Why did we vote these people in to office? The brits say god help the queen….I say god help the Americans!

Frats-Animal House
I love the movie Animal House. Its hysterically funny and keeps the viewer glued to the screen. The only problem with the movie is that it gives Fraternities a bad name. It makes the viewers believe that all frats are drunken stupid idiots. I wont lie some are, and some are not. Since being at Kearney Ive gotten to know many Sig Eps and Pikes who are two of the largest frats on campus. Most of the men are hard working school devoted individuals seeking a higher education just like the rest of us. The only difference is that they live in a house.
Yet despite all of the good things that these two houses have shown me, i couldnt for the life of me convince a fellow friend that he should think about joining one. He said that he didn't like the stereo types and didnt want to deal with the drama. Yet your going to find that every where you go in life. Despite the disgusting and vulgar things that are done by the frat members in Animal House, it was only a movie. A movie designed to poke fun at the hilarious rumors that go around about houses such as theirs.
I was glad to know when i asked a few Sig Eps at the beginning of the year about hazing, that it was not practice on Kearney campus. They said that it was not necessary and that it would result in a elimination of there house. Its like a family, a group you can go to know matter what when you need help with things, and for some people that means the world.
So to any skeptics, i promise the frats on kearney campus are not like animal house, some are crazy, some study hard, and some know how to keep the balance. Either way dont judge a book by its cover tell you've read the storyand all it has to offer.

St Particks Day
Saint Patrick’s Day is an annual feast day that celebrates Saint Patrick. He was the most commonly recognized of the patron saint of Ireland and the holiday is celebrated on March 17.
For Ireland this is a national holiday. It’s a bank holiday in North Ireland and public holiday in the Republic of Ireland. It has even become a holiday in Montserrat, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, and the United States. Celebrations are generally themed around all things Irish and, by association, the color green.
Yet in the United States we don’t seem to celebrate this day the same. For many Americans it’s a day to wear green and drink ALOT of beer. One of the most common things that I hear of for college students on St Patrick’s Day is the past time of taking shots to the ever famous movie, Boondock Saints. This movie is about two Irish brothers who believe they have received a message from god to kill all the bad people in their city. They are very vulgar and violent but it seems that every two minutes the "F word" is said. So for my college going students they take advantage of this word and take a shot every time they hear the world. The funny part is that during one part "Rocco" says the F word probably 16 times before he realizes what’s going on. I believe that even though it’s a fast and very effective way to get drunk, why is it that we celebrate St Patrick’s Day in such a manner? Why it that this became part of was are holiday for St Paddy? He must have been a great man if we drink in his honor every year. Wonder what he would think if he knew this was how he was celebrated.

Wind Energy Final Draft
For years people have been looking for better ways to fuel society. Whether that be with cars, trains, or another type of transportation. The most recent new "fuel" is the idea of eclectic cars that has grown in popularity over the last decade. Yet there is another energy source coming onto the market called Wind Energy. The final two sessions at the 2009 Wind Power convention in Kearney were on maximizing the economic benefits of wind energy development in Nebraska and bringing wind manufacturing and jobs to the state. If this goes through wind energy development can create 840 to 1,580 jobs in Nebraska in the next 40 years. Wind energy is the fastest-growing energy technology in the country and wind manufacturing expands by 30 percent to 40 percent annually. On example of a Nebraskan using Wing Energy is Kevin Strudthoff. Sturdthoff is president and CEO of Katana Summit LLC in Columbus, which employs 104 Nebraskans. The company manufactures large steel towers that wind energy generators sit atop.
If Kearney were to bring Wind Energy to the city it would drastically change how the city worked. It’s a cleaner more effective way to power schools, homes, factories, etc. Not only would it be more effective it would bring jobs to the city that we may have otherwise never had. It would be a good idea for the city of Kearney and the environment as a whole. As a city we should way the cost benefits with other companies, towns, plants etc who have also switched over to Wind Energy. If the new source of energy would be beneficial in the long run, yet have a high cost attached, we would have to ask ourselves if the price tag was worth it for the future of our town. The town of Kearney is small enough that there is plenty of room between ours and the next neighboring town for us to have Windmills out in the country like the ones down the interstate like on the way to Omaha NE. If we want a greener, healthier world for are children we have to act now. There are only so many tomorrows and one day the damage will be so bad that nothing we are cable of will be able to reverse the damage. If we bring wind energy to Kearney NE it would bring new jobs, and more money to the town. How could something that helps are children and even their children, be wrong?

The company is run by my father and grandfather, Russ and Rick Merrick. This past year in 2009 they have sold 10 windmills around the state and in others. They use the mill, that they manufactured, outside of the building to generate all the electricity and power that runs the plants. I've seen firsthand what the Wind Energy is capable of.

To be Nothing
Here in this place, it holds memories.
Here is where writers create the lives that actors live
It holds the sands of time, the beginning and the end and in itself- it holds life
This unmistakable, undeniable virtue that comes forward is a breath of fresh air.
Yet in that air we take in Pandora’s box- we feel that chaos and destruction yet in our own human way we envy the process of it- to be so…free.
Freedom is such a funny concept that we’ve been fighting for in the name of god, religion and the Queen.
Yet this place holds all of that. It’s been a million things- only to be nothing
This place built on the ideas of love and philosophy- but to what degree?
This place built for us sits alone
A waiting the day when Julius Caesar, King William the 3rd or any other noble wise man graces it with its presents.
On this stage that lights will glisten like the thousand stars reflecting from the sea. Yet here in it is everything so it can be nothing.

Jess 2-birthdays
It is 11:25 and jess and i cant sleep. I asked her what was on her mind and she went off about the concept of birthdays. "its just a reminder of you being older and you should act older-it sucks" Jess said.
We agreed that after your 21 (legal drinking age) you should really stop celebrating them. We all know when the new year comes that you've survived another year on earth and that life will move on. So wouldn't it make sense to stop celebrating them?
Another thought is that we only celebrate them for the gift factor. Its an excuse to buy things and boost the crappy economy. That along with Christmas, Valentines day, Halloween, Fourth of July and Saint Patricks day. Each day- and most for that matter- is designed in a way that convinces a customer to buy a product, that without, would mean you weren't celebrating right. So what does a birthday really mean? Does it mean buy me a gift? give me things for free? bake me a cake with candles and let me make a fool of myself? Or does it actually mean something special. Anymore- it seems more about the material things.
What would happen if we celebrated birthdays without gifts, if we did it unmatericalistic. We would celebrate the person, celebrate there life. We would tell them how much we loved them, why we cared and what there plans were until there next birthday. The gift of time is much more precious then a toy there only gonna love for a year.
