I was a bit surprised that Ross and Rachel stayed in NY. I just assumed he would go with her to Paris even though he just got tenure at the university. The fact they got together wasn't a surprise though. I loved Duck, Jr. and Chick, Jr. That was awesome!

You're idea of a perfect society where everyone is happy is contradictory to iteself. Why do we get excited when something good happens. Or even indeed what makes somthing good special? It's because of the bad in the world also. If everything were good, it would no longer be enjoyable because we would not know the bad that goes along with it, it would be incredibly Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187980772832071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083992541645289312004-05-08T00:02:00.000-05:002004-05-08T00:06:50.700-05:00I could have nit pick at other's utopia's also. For the one with the biodomes, That doesn't seem like much of a paradise if you have to work. Or even after you're retired that you would grow bored. That doesn't sound all too perfect either. No utopia can exsist for a multitude of people. In fact there could only be a utopia for one person, and even that could not be fulfilled because of the Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187980772832071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083992340335025462004-05-07T23:59:00.000-05:002004-05-08T00:03:29.420-05:00Also, I didn't solve all my problems by changing human nature, or inventing somthing to control the population. No, indeed I put a little more deep thought into it then that. Had I wanted to I could merely say, "You're all turned into pure energy." You can't die, you can't become sick, and you can do whatever you want.

Each person control his destiny. How can you really ask for more than that? I know that there are people that want a super-large government to take care of their every needs. I, however, could not live in a society where I could claim accomplishment to Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187980772832071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083992043053391582004-05-07T23:54:00.000-05:002004-05-07T23:58:32.170-05:00I still pertain that Rome would not have fallen had it not been for the size of the empire. If you have noticed dictatorships had always been very powerful while they stay within thier limits. Rome was the most powerful empire this world has known. Also if you look back to the 20th centuary, Hitler's Germany almost took over all of Europe.

Sure, it grew to big to handle, but you also need a smooth running government in order to run a growing population. I don't see how you could possibly make it a utopia, killing people is not exactly my idea of a perdect Ryanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15344988715858430806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083942520597026352004-05-07T10:08:00.000-05:002004-05-07T10:13:08.763-05:00Yeah!!!!

I can't wait to get the summer started. Finals won't be fun especially if you have one on the last day of finals week at 7:30 am. Luckly that final won't be that tough. Still having a final that early is just unfair if you ask me. Im usually still sleeping at 7:30 am during the semester and they expect me to take a final.

I believe it was merely too abstract for people to grasp it. Of course, I don't believe in a utopian society, one can never exsist because of human nature. I think that the closest we can come to a utopia is where everyone starts out equal and is either made or broken by their own choices.Davidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09187980772832071390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083939071075867912004-05-07T09:06:00.000-05:002004-05-07T09:15:39.200-05:00It's Friday!

I just wanted to remind everyone that the Friends Finale is on in 23 minutes! I thought this semester in English was a lot more enjoyable than my last semesters. Before entering college I thought that writing a two page paper was the death of me! But if I can write 6 pages on defining one word, then I think I can write just about anything.

My fiance and I have been diligently apartment hunting for the last two weeks. Our requirements aren't too extreme: 2 bedrooms, washer/dryer hookups, cats allowed. That's it. The cats allowed part has really been ridiculous. Cats are completely forbidden in many of the apartments around Fargo.

Instead of a paper, I made up pamphlet about my utopia. I sure hope I can do that. On that pink sheet we got at the begining of the semester it said we could use a different format. She gave the example of a borchure. So I figure that has to be pretty close. Well I'm off to class...

As a result, I can't help thinking about the trip I took to Mexico in February. My fiance and I traveled to Ixtapa for the marriage of my new mother-in-law. The weather was perfect, the beaches were perfect, and the service at our hotel was remarkable. One thing truly got me down, though.

If anybody knows of any summer jobs open in Minot, North Dakota...hook me up! I've been working on putting together our group's Utopia paper. My part was actually quite fun and easy to write when I got started. It made me realize that there is a lot of things that contribute to a society and that we are very complex.

There is no doubt in my mind that I will cry like a little girl. I cried last week...I'm such a loser. It would be splendid to get out of English early tonite, but who knows how long the rest of the utopia's will take. I can always tape it I suppose. I'm not too worried about finals this semester.

It's a powerpoint...but we couldn't reserve the projector!! So that kinda sucks, cuz everyone is going to have to huddle around the little laptop. Oh well. But it would've been really pimp if we would've been able to get the projector. I feel like a lot of utopias were serious, when my group kinda just went and joked with it.

I would be deliriously happy in a world filled with humility and patience. In my group's utopia presentation, I stressed the importance of reasoning, tolerance, and understanding.

We took our lofts down and put the parts under our beds. The room is so different now. But it gave us a chance to clean up a little too. It's weird to put the beds back into the bunkbed and have our desks over on the other wall. Our room has been the same since we moved in back in August and now we have to change it. Oh well.

To take your lofts down a week before you leave this joint is a stupid thing to do. We had rearrange our rooms several different times just to get enough room to walk around.

We all can find our own utopia; it's just where we do what we enjoy, and what makes us content. I don't think it's about how much stuff we have, or anything like that.

A utopia just wouldn't work in reality. But if I had to make my version of a utopia it would not have strict rules and sparsely populated.

I was going through some posts that I hadn't read, and I realized that I have not written in response to a few things. So, my personal utopia would be like this: - First off it has to be a tropical place, because I love the beach. - I think that someone should wait on me all the time too, you know bring me tropical fruity drinks when I'm just chillin for no reason. - There would Brenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09735964256295792085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6258838.post-1083608424050091552004-05-03T13:20:00.000-05:002004-05-03T13:24:34.936-05:00Hey everybody. I can't believe that the semester is almost over. Now that my group presented last week it's hard to believe that there is nothing left to do for this class. I also gave my last speech on Friday of last week, so I am completely done with that class too except for the improv final speech. That's off the topic though, I thought that this semester was pretty cool.

The last week of ACTUAL school! And I have SOOOO much to do!!! It was my birthday Saturday...kinda fun, kinda not. As you get older, birthday's dont seem to matter as much. I mean how fun is 19? You don't get anything with it. Oh well. I also think it's kind of weird because I've felt like I'm 19 for forever?

It was kind of fun. It ended up being more like a family reunion with a few extra guests. The only person missing was my brother who is in a submarine somewhere someplace only they know where! The school days are slowly counting down. I sometimes feel overwhelmed but it's all going to be over on the 13th.

We are coming down to finals week and I really am not looking forward to it. I will have three finals and in everyone of those I will need to study. I have a final on monday which is chemistry and two finals on wednesday which are econ and calculus. This is a really bad schedule and I will need to study hard to keep up my grades in these classes.

This makes me REALLY UPSET! And I'm too lazy to take it in to get fixed before school's over ...because what's the point? I don't need it this summer and I don't need to type any papers or anything anymore. So I will just wait - and be pissed off. So that's how my weekend is going!

It went by so fast. It sucks though I have a 8-10 minute speech due friday and then I have to present a impromptu speech. What a way to end the school term. I'm just going to be glad when speech is over, because I won't have to take it ever again in college. By the way the timberwolves won their first playoff series in 8 years.

We present on tuesday. Now i just have to get the parts for the paper from my partners so i can put it all into 1 paper to turn in.

I don't think my feet will ever be the same again! The R&D conference at the FargoDome this week included a tour of the new building my department moved into and yours truly had the job of being the receptionist. It was fun but I'm way wiped out from it all. Okay so I went through the class blog and I only have 7 entries. Ugh, what was I thinking.

I find it VERY handy when I do lock my keys inside the car! The magnet is pretty strong, so if you don't feel safe putting your keys where I do, you could easily find another place that would work just as well. Just an idea...

Can anyone believe that we are almost done with the semester already??? I dunno, i'm kind of glad because homework has been piling up like crazy. But I will miss seeing everyone all the time. And next year I will be out of the Dorms!! I'm moving into a house by campus. And if anyone needs a place to stay.

Ski resorts where you never have to wait in line for the lift. Once the weather started to get nice in the spring (let's say 50s-60s), the temperature would not drop below 50. Summer it could not get colder than 60 degrees. Winter - not lower than 15 degrees.

I'm very nervous to go all the way to Europe to study, but I think it would be a great experience. Having all my classes in spanish is going to be more than challenging. AHHH!!!

We presented our utopia today... it seemed to go pretty smoothly, so I'm glad we're done with it now. It was fun working on it, and I had a good time. My personal utopia would consist of: - Music was considered to be more than just entertainment. Oh, and none of this overzealous RIAA crap, which I feel is hurting the music industry more than it is helping it. - No violence...
