Apparently my blog is popular enough now so as to need a hosting upgrade. I have mixed feelings about this.

[Ack]

There once was a man from Central Texas
Whose sad views on life he would tell us
"These poems are stupid" the Texan would say
"Reading them for UIL has ruined my day!"

The Forlorn Texan grew increasingly irate
"Even thirteen year olds can write things this 'great'!"
"I'm angry, I'm mad, I'm becoming disgusted!"
"Explaining love through poems is not to be trusted!"

As he read more lines his rage only grew
His heart turned to stone and he further withdrew
Still slogging through his mountain of prose
Our Forlorn Drifter's eyes suddenly froze

"What's this?" he asked, with a glint in his eyes
"A poem about love where the woman dies!?"
"It's morbid, it's shocking, and it seems to entice!"
"This poem, indeed, is actually quite nice!"

"Strangulation, violence, and love unrequited!"
"A critique of amour by a poet who's tried it."
"This is the winner, the rest of these suck,"
"I've found a poem I can pull from the muck!"

The lesson, it seems, yet passed the man by
Poetry, one learns, is in the beholder's eye.
That the tragic poem spoke to him reveals quite a bit
But mostly that verse and reader are all about fit.

There once was a Texan Forlorn
On whose senses, poetry had worn.
He cried and he spit,
Had a terrible snit,
And decided he'd go back to his porn.

Got me. No porn though, no point in that really.

The poem that I was targeting with the written by a 13 year old comment was this one:

I don't know, it didn't strike me as something that should be used on the same level as some of the other poems and books we were using.

hey everyone!

I'm getting the ball rolling on some cool things!

I need some advice on a good cloud/file hosting site!

One that will treat my files nicely and hopefully not erase them.

Or should I upload to mulitple companies in case one gets banned?

I'll be starting a blog soon. And I have a nice hook to have people see it! I'm still debating on which one to use! Something really noob friendly.

not entirely my googly eyes stuff, but some other cool stuff too!

Of course I'll keep you guys posted.

Is this an American military vehicle?

What vehicle is it? I saw it in Shenyang last summer and I've always wondered.

That appears to be a MAZ-537, a Russian vehicle.

That would make sense. There's a lot of old Soviet military hardware in China. I am just a little sad that they painted an Allied star onto it and passed it off as American. They even had dummies with American Airborne uniforms on.

Thanks!

I would think after living in China you would know better than anyone that their ability to counterfeit and bootleg is surpassed by none.

Plus, I don't know how China would have US military hardware in the first place.

My dream job = Puppy Bowl referee

Well I feel retarded. After ISPs switched over here, I went and signed up for the new service but didn't expect it would work until Monday. They offer two hours of free service each day, but I had already used mine for the day so I started messing with my router's setting trying to fake my way into some extra trials with no success. As it turns out they activated my service an hour ago.

Nobody's coming on anything.
