So, my former high school was known as the Pelicans, or Mighty Pelicans. Apparently, we were the only school in the US with the white pelican as a mascot. It has been our mascot for years. (60+ i believe). Anywho, what were you like in highschool? Are you similar today? Are you still friends with those you knew in HS? I was a drifter. I never considered myself part of any clique/group. I was well known in my class, but wasn't "popular". It was more of, "Hey, its that guy". In...

Below are some pics from the trip to Portland. ~Lucas

Three years later... We are still in Iraq. You know what I think.... Thats what I think, despite my frustrations, etc... "Keep on, keeping on..." (Joe Dirt) "Stand up, stand tall, stand brave. Never cower, never forget those who died to give you freedom. Honor them...remember them by fighting for freedom for all." ~LucasNOTE: The original picture ( w/o the writing) belongs to another person. The writing is my mother and I's idea.

Well, I'm back from my trip up north. It went....erm. Well, I'll just tell you what went on. Our way up was fairly uneventful. We stopped by Autzen Stadium, so (Yeah!) I was able to look around the stadium. Its massive! I also saw Coach Belloti. I didn't say hi, as he was talking to someone. (Dang) One thing that was...somewhat eventful, was driving up to portland. Oy! Portland folk drive like maniacs! Course, it didn't help with a liquid (FLAMMABLE!) oxygen tank in the back of our...

We (Mum & I) leave tomarrow (Tuesday) at around noon-ish and are heading up to OHSU in Portland to go to follow up appointments with the various doc's we saw in October. So far, My CO2 levels are normal. My heart has decreased in size. (Not quite the normal size yet, but close.) My lung is still collapsed (I believe). My diaphragm is still not working. *thinks* My hypertension is kaput...I believe. (According to what my 'normal' doc said.) This time, we are going to discuss various p...

United 93~ Are any of you going to see it? Apparently I am the only one in my family that is going to see it, period. I'm going, not for the "theatrical" stuff...I'm going, because i feel that i am honoring the victims lives...by remembering what happened...instead of trying to push it away, or such. (Now, don't get me wrong...I understand that those who directly lost someone are still hurt..) So...I am, are you? ~Lucas "Stand up, stand tall, stand brave- never forget those wh...

Does anyone here live close to Roanoke? (I think it is part of NC now...used to be part of Virginia) I need someone, if they are willing to look up some info on the "lost colony". The majority of what i have found on the net is junk...pure CT. I can't pay, but i can offer deepest thanks.... ~Lucas

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? ME: I would change my 'absent mindedness'. Its cause too many catastrophes. I would also, if given a chance, change my looks, my financial situation (i.e. so that my mum is well off), that i would use my brain more often ( ). Seriously though... ~Lucas

Lets face it, we're all hypocrits. Filthy-stinking-hypocrits. (Well, maybe not filthy or stinking) Face it...in one thing or another, we are all hypocrits. We claim one thing but do that. We insist that certain things are not done around us, but we do them ourselves. Some of us are revered as 'demigods', i.e. Barry Bonds, etc... Yep, we are all hypocrits. *raises hand* Me to. You?

How do I delete a blog group? I've asked before...and nothing. I've tried looking, and nothing...Also, AM I going to let out of confinement, ever? Seriously, i'd like to know. I've been confined for about 10 months... I don't see what "I haven't learned", or whatever was said 5ish months ago... You told me not to spam.Done. No lying.Done. *Shrugs* Whats up?~EW

I’ve grown to enjoy screenwriting (along with writing: fiction, poetry, etc…). However, it can be stressful...the preciseness of it -is enough to make any anal or OC person seem small in comparison. Also, trying to get your ideas (this isn’t just with screenwriting) to fall into place is bit difficult because of the requisites. Regardless of the writing,re-writing, re-writing, re-writing…(no typo…) it’s rewarding. I mean, writing in general, to have your ideas down on paper and the pos...

I hear every so often, people saying that they can't stand Islamic people, or Muslims. Why though? I think to myself. What have they done to that person? Do they have a logical/rational reason, or is it pure racism/religious intolerance? My question for you guys/gals, is, "what is your view towards Muslims/Islam?" ~EW

Just thought I'd post my classes for spring term '06... Math 95, Writing 122, Health 295 (Unfortunately), Computer Conepts (Well, hope the hours of net time helps ;] ), then my Computer concepts lab... Also, I've narrowed down my choices on where i want to head after graduating KCC. There are, Richmond University-London (Cost is a bit much, but, in terms of history program/department prestige, its great), Univ-SoCal (Bit expensive, but is a top notch film school), UCLA (same as USC, but...
