this site is currently undergoing a MAJOR re-build. the beta version of the new home page can bee seen at http://www.mahix2.com/NEWindex.html. Let me know what you think. I have the busiest week of my life this week, so it is unlikely that I will get much done til next week…deal with it.

Good: After tomorrow I can relax for the rest of the week as tomorrow I have a speech to give in Com225(Public Speaking), a solution proposal presentation in Com259(Business Communication), and a 4 page journal assignment due in Com230(Small Group Communication).

Bad: It is 9:24PM and I do not feel adequately prepared for any of the three items mentioned above. In fact, my speech is probably about due for another scrap and re-write, my presentation will be read and practiced for the first time when(if) my group shows up in five minutes or so, and my journal is well…. inexistent as in, i haven’t started yet.

Ugly: I have been up since 6:30am, “woke up on the wrong side of the bed” with a “case of the monday’s” and my group meeting will likely go until midnight or later.

Sidenote: In my Com259 case which we are proposing the solution to part of the problem arose when a male character said to a woman character “Come on now, tell me, would you consider me if you came over to the dark side.”

The Friday 5 has become a overly pathetic site. Every Friday they post in new verbage that they were too lazy this past week to think of five questions.

First, aplogies for not updating much this week. I have been doing a rediculous amount of hw.

Second, Tuesday I had the opportunity to attend a short hour and a half long seminar on the basics of javascript, so maybe in the next week or two I will throw a little of it into the mahix2.com mix.

Third, my mom has been known for many years for her periodic newspaper clippings of abscure articles or comics which happen to be almost too appropriate. About a year ago my mom handed me a clipping of an advertisement enticing readers to goto a website to apply to be on a reality tv show produced by Donald Trump. I gave my mom a look of “don’t you even think about reality tv shows around me” and left the house. Tonight I caught my first episode of “The Apprentice” and I noticed two things. 1. Donald Trump is a baller and is hereby officially added to my list of true American pimps. 2. I wish that I would have applied because of the 8 contestents that I had the chance to see tonight I feel that only 1 of them was actually competent. (The one in charge of running the golf tournament)

Fourth, the mints are free at the cashier station in the MU sub station. Furthermore the crazy ass cashier lady is somewhat adament that you take advantage of the free mints. I only had my debit card on me so as Kaila and Eric ordered their subs I approached the cashier to make sure they took debit cards. Well they don’t. No matter, I wasn’t very hungry anyway. So I linger while Kaila and Eric pay and as we are walking away the old hag cashier lady says “the mints are free” as she swirls her finger through the green and white swirl individually wrapped mints (you know the ones that are normally red and white swirls). I assume that she is trying to comfort me as I showed some disgust that they didn’t accept debit cards, so I return the favor by exclaiming “YESSSS!!!!!” plus the mints were tempting so I grabbed a few. As I chuckled away Kaila makes a comment to the effect of “that lady loves giving away those mints.” Apparently she says that to every customer!! In fact if you don’t keep moving she makes sure that you know they are free and personal testimony from Kaila says that the cashier has pressured her into taking mints even when she didn’t want any. My plan for this is simple: everytime I pass through the MU I will make my way up near her cashier stand until she comments about the free mints at which point I will empty her basket directly into my pocket, say thank you, and walk away. Then the next day I will repeat until the cashier no longer pressures unwanted mints upon the average customer.

All I want to do is make a difference in a few peoples’ lives. If you want to help, feel free otherwise stay out of my way.

Props to Valentine the pledge who was keeping it real with his digital camera at retreat while I was lazy and left mine in my bag. Enjoy the siGHTs(good catch payne) here.
