I really really dislike Microsoft Word. It screws up footnotes, messes with phrases that are correct and in general really sucks.
I wrote a phrase in a rough draft of a recent research paper. The phrase said gay marriage would return the voters ballots for an upcoming November. However, the phrase was not for the liking for MS Word and therefore it was changed under grammar and spelling function. So when my paper was read during class it appeared that I had no idea what I was talking about.
Has society one so out of whack that instead of making basic improvements to a program that works great. That business' want to do a complete overhaul of the entire program in order to boost profits? I sincerely think that the above questions is correct. Why else would Microsoft come out with an updated version of Microsoft Word when the last one did not even work? Bill Gates and he dork friends should sincerely be punched in the face for this dumbass mistake. Hopefully Mr. Gates and his dorky friends would be so abtruse to why they were being punched in the face that I could kindly tell them "MICROSOFT WORD SUCKS"!
My actions of punching Bill and other Microsoft employee's might be abysmal but they honestly deserve it. A survey should be completed in regards to how many reserach papers have been seriously screwed up due to their lousy product.
Defenitions
Abtruse- Hard to understand
Abysmal- Extremely or hopelessly bad

THE OVER ACHIEVER......
I have an older sister who is roughly two years older than me. She and I have turned out to be great friends over the past five years but before that not so much. I use to think she was kind of a dork and over achieved in school way to much. However, over these last couple of years I have turned into her number one fan. My sister is currently working on finishing her Doctorate at the University of Illinios in Biology.
My sister is the direct opposite of me. She likes math and science; I love socail sciences. She hates to write papers I enjoy doing the background research. I came upon a tough spot while I was attending college in Nebraska. My advisor left while I was finshing my senior thesis to take a job at Fresno State, which really left me in a tough spot. I eventally ended up failing my senior thesis in large part due to the other professor not understanding what it was about. So it left me one course short of my college degree. After that occured i wanted nothing to do with school or politics. My older sister encouraged me to protest the graded to the president of the university and make it known what had happened. So I did nothing really happened due to the Professor having tenure but it still leaves a nasty little mark on her record with the University.
After my appeal was shot down I wanted to take some time away from school and was not sure if I wanted to go back. Until a few Christmas' ago my older sister called me out on being lazy telling me that I have worked to hard in regards to my education to just give up. So I decided to enroll at SJSU and take a bunch of class' that I have already taken just so I can get a little piece of paper. For giving me the motivation to go back to school I owe my sister more than she will ever know.
I also help my sister out a lot with her relationship problems. She has never really had a steady boyfriend until recently and this guy was a piece of work. He cheated on her, stalked her, and verbally abused her all the while she kept putting up with it. I finally had to tell her that every guy lies to stupid girls so stop being stupid and believe it or not my sister acutally realized how dumb she was being. She eventually left the dirt bag behind, took a step up the relationship ladder, and started dating a guy who apprecaites that she is a brainiac.
My older sister will be defending her Doctorate in the Spring of 2010 in Champagne, Illinois and I will be the first one in line to give her a huge hug and to tell her how proud I really I'am. My sister is a huge over achiever in everything she does but she sets a great example for me and I can only hope to have my PHD like she does.
Defenition.
Defending the Doctorate also reffered to Defending the Doctoral Thesis- Student who has prepared the thesis and research defends it against questions from other members of academia. The public or other University staff is also permitted to ask questions. While defending your Doctorate only black and white should be worn.
Tenure- Basically implying that a probationary period has been passed and the postion is now permanet for the employee
Doctorate Degree- Highest degree awarded by a post graduate University. Usually three to five years of graduate work has been completed. Along with a final dissertation approved by professors as well.

Fab Weekend......
The weekend was rather enjoyable. It was filled with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu matches down in Santa Cruz and a little football. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been ahuge part of my life since I have returned home from the midwest. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has filled the void created by football that took up so much of my time during the earlier years of college days. Once football stopped while in the midwest I seemed to be un-happy a majority of the time. When you mix alcohol into the scenario I could be down right mean. There were times I would be in bars and dumb ass "townies" (the locals from the town) would pop off and say something stupid in regards to me being from California. Most likely an insult geared to homosexuals or something about hugging tree's, nothing to really bother me normally until a couple of Jager Bombs become involved. Once those Jager Bomb's went down the hatch I would get tough with people when ever they stepped out of line.
I know look back at the old me and I think what a fucking jack ass. I can honestly say Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has made me a better person. It allowed me to make great new friends and travel through out the country. I have made friends in so academies and always have a place to train.
The negative side of the sport is the wear and tear it puts on your body. There are many bumps, bruises, dislocated fingers and Cauliflower Ears. Cauliflower Ears are when the ears of a martial artist become mangaled looking like a piece of Cauliflower. Wrestlers also get a nasty case of Cauliflower Ear as well. Cauliflower Ear developes due to the ear not having a solid bone so therefore the cartlidge bends and tears forming Cauliflower Ear. Some people tend to wear head gear to protect the ears but it can be very uncomfortable causing a rash around the neack and ears.
Reconstructive ear surgery is a new tool used to combat Cauliflower Ear. The reconstructive ear surgery is a new tool used to combat the effects of cauliflower ear. Retired Mixed Martial Artists are the ones who have made the reconstructive ear surgery popular. The reconstructive ear surgery does not fully bring the ear back to shape instead it cuts away at most of the scar tissue slightly re-shaping the ear.
It seems that I have finally developed Cauliflower Ear. I got caught with a knee while training last week and shortly after the Cauliflower Ear developoed. Ice was immedialtely applied to the ear to bring down the swelling and it helped a great deal. My ear looks some what normal an individual has to look close in order to see the defect in my right ear. Needless to say my better half found out right away and become pretty pissed in regards to it.
Defenitions
Cauliflower Ear- Usually present in combat sports i.e. wrestling, brazilian jiu jitsu, judo, mixed martial arts, and rugby. Heavy abuse is usually taken to the ear which causes a blood clot which causes the cartilage in the ear to seperate. Thus, in turn causes the ear to look like a piece of Cauliflower. Usually the looks are the only bad side effect of having cauliflower ear and hearing is not affected.
Reconstructive ear surgery aka "Cauliflower Ear Surgery"- popular in retiring mixed martial artists who have sever cauliflowered ears. A plastic sugeon thins down the cartilage around the ear that has thickened.Thenthe skin is repositioned over it.

Doesn't matter where you start but where you finish is what counts!
I have spent the weekend walking through San Francisco trying to catch a glimpse of the Blue Angels only to have them cancel the air show. I thought it was rather funny but my girlfriend was pissed. She looks forward to Blue Angels either going to the Salinas Air Show or attending Fleet Week in San Francisco every year. Only this year no Blue Angels for her. So I convienced her to eat oysters on the half shell down on the wharf. What a bad idea that was since she got car sick on the way home.
So while my girlfriend was sick on Sunday I spent the day not watching football but studying for my damn midterms. While I was studying for my 195A midterm I felt like an idiot because there is so much information that I have forgot. I wish the instructor would have given a study guide or a practice test which would have really helped tremendously. From exploring concepts such as inductive or dedutive reasoning to other concepts like casuality and nonspurios relationships.
Earlier today I had no clue what causlity and nonspurios relationships meant. However, thanks to an early morning brazilian jiu jitsu traning session in Santa Cruz and lunch with Heinken and Round Table I now feel more confident. I spent the day re-reading the book and glancing over my notes. I would have to say the Heinken was the most influential part though.
Casuality- Refers to the cause then the effect. The effect is a consequence of the cause
Nonspurios relationship- Showing that the relationship between the two variables (independent and dependent) a third variable.

CRAZY WEEK!!!!
This week has been rather crazy, full of long home work assignments and hospital visits. My better half has been under going some serious health problems as of late and it is really scary. The Doctors thought she might have cancer in her bone marrow. The tests that the medical staff has made her go through are endless which have resulted in many sleep less nights on my end. She recently under went a bone marrow biopsy. The bone marrow biopsy really caused my better half allot of pain throughout the last two weeks. Every test they kept running showed that her red blood cells were diminished along with her platelets being low. However, there was also good news. The test results showed that there were was no malignant signs of cancer. The bad news was my significant other was significantly anemic. Meaning she suffers from iron deficiency. The red blood cells are half of the amount that they should be. The medical staff at Mills Peninsula Hospital have no clue what is going on and it is starting to piss me off.
To treat the iron deficiency my better half must sit in a room for an hour and forty five minutes taking an IV. The IV is filled with iron and salen solution. This process took place last week for the first time and really stressed out my beatiful girlfriend. During the treatement ir made her rather drowsy and seemed to take away all of her energy. When this was going on all I could do was hold her hand and rub her head. It is a pretty helpless feeling watching the one you care so much for suffer. I would gladly trade places with her in a New York minute.
When the treatement finally ended I stopped by a sushi restuarant to brighten her spirits. My better half loves sushi and miso soup. It was great to see a smile come from her beatiful face when her food arrived. It also made me feel great to see her finally smile.
Watching the beatful brown smiling face, I told my girlfriend "that we were going to do the Bridge to Bridge run in San Francisco on October 4". When I said that, her face stopped smiling and she got kind of upset. She just glared across the table at me with a death stare. So I told her "That I would run it and she could walk it and after we could spend the day in the City". She lightend up to the idea and seemed pretty enthused. So on October 4th I ran the 12k Bridge to Bridge run in an hour and three minutes. My beatiful girlfriend and aunt walked the 12k in roughly two and a half hours.
When my girlfriend and aunt finally crossed the finish line their smiles were ear to ear. They were so happy that they completed the course. Without knowing it my girlfriend was not thinking about how much the past two weeks have sucked and how sick she was. Instead she was happy for the first time in a long time and that meant more to me than anything.
DEFENITION
Bone Marrow Biopsy- Test to determine if bone marrow cancer is present. The patient is given local anesthesia in the hip only after they received a morphine drip. Once the patient is not feeling anything a specail needle is placed into the hip then hammered into the bone of the hip.
Platelets- promotes blood clotting. So if individuals blood cannot clot they can potentialy die due to bleeding.
