Technology Hates Me - Kendra

Some how... Not really sure how. I ended up fucking up my computer.

Using it is difficult to use now due to an extremely large crack in the screen covering over half of my computer. Don't get it... I didn't do anything to it. Oh well... at least the camera still works.

So Kids... What Did We Learn Today?! - Kendra

We learned....

All about Utilitarianism!!!

YAAAYYY!

Utilitarianism, in ethics, the theory that the rightness or wrongness of an action is determined by its usefulness in bringing about the most happiness of all those affected by it. Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism, which advocates that those actions are right which bring about the most good overall. Jeremy Bentham identified good consequences with pleasure, which is measured in terms of intensity, duration, certainty, propinquity, fecundity, purity, and extent. John Stuart Mill argued that pleasures differ in quality as well as quantity and that the highest good involves the highest quality as well as quantity of pleasure. Herbert Spencer developed an evolutionary utilitarian ethics in which the principles of ethical living are based on the evolutionary changes of organic development.


Hooray for Education!

Hakuna Matata - AJ

I wasn't in school, i wast working, i was living at home and watching everything in my life slowly turn to crap. I wasn't sleeping, eating, i would have random outbursts of anger or deep depression, and I couldn't think of any particular reason why. it was then i started to think back to the last time I was doing something and having fun. I was traveling then, hitch hiking across California. I decided to leave again and head for Texas, this plan soon changes once i took into account the weather and my inability to deal with such.

One day my friend called me up and asked if i would fancy going to a party at this girl Kendra's house. I didn't much talk to the girl i just got stoned drank her beer, ate her food, and fell asleep on her couch. this was on a Wednesday. On Friday Kendra calls me to hang out. we spend the day together and decide we should take two months off and drive around the coast. We left at 1 the next morning.

We arrived in Santa Cruz and as though by fate i make a random turn and end up ignorant of my friends house. I call and she comes out and we enjoy a quick tour of the town. Kendra then introduced me to her friend David whom we have been staying with last night, cold guy, cool room mates, comfy couch. Hakuna Matata has become the motto on this journey and we have made plans to get it tattooed on each of us to commemorate the trip. today is only day two and i feel amazing, a complete 180 from the emotional wreck i was before. I feel amazing

Mom! We're Eloping! (Day's 1 and 2) - Kendra

Aj and I met Tuesday night at the party I threw at my house. He came over smoked a hella amount of bud ate my food and passed out on my couch next to Brian. He woke up the next morning talking about Koalas ruling our world living in the white house and changing our currency to eucalyptus. Next morning, exchanged numbers for Pokemon. We ended up not going.

I called him up friday to hang since I was in the area. We tried finding a water tower to climb and smoke on but we ended up spilling weed on a hiking trail. Some hiker is going to be very happy when he finds what we left.

By the time we got to Katie's party (where I got shwasted) we had decided to go on a road trip. Aj and I packed the car, the plan was to walk in the house holding hands and tell his mom we're eloping. Aj did one (and two) better. A hand written note explaining why he wouldn't be home something along the lines of :
"Dear Mom and Dad. By now you've probably noticed I'm not here. You see I got tihs girl pregnant and we're fleeing to San Francisco to get married. After which we are heading south to start my career as a wealthy plantation owner."

He also left a note on the computer in a minimized window that said "Explanation." On his screen saver he put a loop of snap shots of Peter North material to lessen the blow...

Meanwhile... I don't think I told anyone I was leaving.

We left at around 1am and decided to start driving. By this time I had completely passed out in the car I woke up in Ostridge land had a short break there before getting back in the car and driving again.

We ended up getting pulled over by the cops. And Excaped without getting a DUI.

After another quick nap in the morning, around 12pm, we arived in Santa Cruz starting off day 1.

We got lost and pulled over to call a few people to see where we could stay and ended up infront of AJ's friends house.

Blah Blah Blah Met cool people. Smoked a lot of weed. Met up with some friends. Blah Blah Blah

We stayed at Davids place which is way chill.

Day 2 - We didn't do much today but get used to the place. I did some gymnastics on the front lawn and took in a bit of sun. We did however meet up with a couple people who invited us to a colored pants party. No one allowed in without colored pants. So today we went to this awesome thrift shop and bought some obnoxious pants for 50% off an already marked down price. Two pairs of pants cost me less than 5 bucks. We picked up a few hitch hikers on our way back to Davids and just got home. We probably will stay here for the night since I know I am pretty tired.

Tomorrow is the Pants party. I'm excited.
