So I was looking through an old website and came across some mischief from my days at BISYS. Judge for yourself, but it made me laugh.

Well, I don't know about you, but my Thanksgiving was rather nice.

The base had free breakfast lunch and dinner, so I slept in then caught the lunch with a few friends, helped someone with paperwork for about an hour and then went off to do homework for the afternoon then had dinner with a different group of friends.

All in all it was a nice way to spend the holiday. I could get used to this desk job and actually having holidays off. I felt kinda bad for my freinds who had to work, but sometimes life is like that. Whenever my job goes away, and it's going to any month now, I'll be right back there on the gates with them, so I might as well enjoy the sunny afternoons while I can.

Speaking of sunny afternoons, man did we have a cold snap here today. I'm not kidding either, it must have been in the low 70's... Enough to make me want to break out my sweatshirts and jacket.

AHHHHHHEM!!!
To be sung to the tune of Monte Python's "I Like Chinese"

I-am-debt-freeeee!!!
I-am-debt-freeeee!!!
College-loans... A-stack-up-to-my-kneee.
but-now-they're-paid.. And-that's-why-you-see,

I'm-in-a-debt-free-moood.
My-lender's-are no-longer-rude!


ok ok ok, you get the point.
After twelve long years, I've finally managed to pay off the last of the blood sucking vultures. Now I can take all that cashola I've been using to pay them off and put it into bonds or maybe a mutual fund, or some sort of investment instrument so I can save it for buying a house.

Let's see, where was I,
O yes...

I-am-debt-freeeee!!!!

My mom emailed these to me, she's got to be the one of the punniest people I know.

1. A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The Stewardess looks at him and says, "I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger."

2. Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!"

3. Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too.

4. Two hydrogen atoms meet. One says "I've lost my electron." The other says "Are you sure?" The first replies "Yes, I'm positive."

5. Did you hear about the Buddhist who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

6. A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel and were standing in the lobby discussing their recent tournament victories. After about an hour, the manager came out of the office and asked them to disperse. "But why?", they asked, as they moved off. "Because," he said, " I can't stand chess-nuts boasting in an open foyer."

7. A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

8. These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy Flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop. Terrified, they did so,--- thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

9. And finally, there was the person who sent ten different puns to friends, with the hope that at least one of the puns would make them laugh. No pun in ten did.

I started my Arabic language class last night!
It is a pretty basic class, but I'm looking at it as more of a foundation for further study elsewhere than a college level language course. (it's taught through our Moralle Welfare and Recreation people)

Last night we worked on proper pronunciation of sounds the Arabic language has that English doesn't, and some basic informational phrases. I'm not sure what the next topic will be, but I'm sure it'll be interesting.
