| ....on xanga.
it's been too long since started it.....it's kind of dying out anyways. hardly anyone reads this anymore. facebook and blogspot are where it's at. i'll see you there!
we'll see if it revives sometime in the future. but i doubt it.
so....this is jesse's xanga saying "goodbye cruel world".
a+.....somewhere else.

| i was muchly educated over thanksgiving break. really.
1. on an automatic transmission cars, when you go from park to drive, the reverse lights flash!
2. if you have cruise control, you can drive hours and hours with simply your right thumb!
3.
blue rockstar energy drinks are pretty good, until you get to the
bottom at which point it tastes a little bit like medicine.
4. driving on the road with no license plates is illegal. driving in a field however is not.
5. the amazon is NOT in africa.
6.
"65, you can be comfortable in a t-shirt or long sleeved T. 50 is good
for a jacket. 40 is getting cold and anything lower than that and
you're done for" (my lesson in fahrenheit...thanks ru)
and last but most certainly NOT least
7. "Soy Bomb" is Spanish for "I am bomb".
as i said....VERY very educational. |

| NEBRASKA!!!
haha....i know right? ridiculously random! i went home with my friend ru (don't worry, her name is actually rebecca ruwe) for thanksgiving break since i couldn't exactly go home. and the first day has been pretty fun. hanging out with her four brothers has been pretty exciting. they're all a lot of fun and the younger ones are SO stinkin cute ;) thanksgiving is tomorrow, but we're having our large dinner on friday cuz ru's mom is a nurse and she works tomorrow (which is better than working christmas like she did last year).
also tomorrow (i.e. today by the time i'm done with this) is my best buds birthday! happy 24th dearest! i hope you see this as many times as i've posted it EVERYWHERE! haha....
but anyways....coolest thing about the trip so far: i've added 3 new airports and 2 new states to my repertoire. and yes, o'hare WAS a new one for me (i know, i'm a horrid mk). it's not my fault...we only ever flew into the east coast! we never needed a layover in o'hare!
alrighty....i think i'm headed to bed....i need to get under these covers and get my toes warm. cuz they're COLD!
g'night all!

| it went SOMETHING like this....(i apologize for those involved that i have probably slightly misquoted. it was typed up a little bit AFTER the actual event, so please allow a little space for error)
On relativism....
Paul: there are some absolutes, but for humans, everything is relative!
Me: and yet that statement in itself is an absolute statement!
Paul: no.…see….well. For example, if I say my son is cute and you say he is not, then that is true for me and that is true for you. So it’s relative!
Me: yeah, most people ARE relatives to their sons. Seriously though, that’s just a matter of opinion not relativism.
Paul: well, how bout this. Mr mcconnell says ‘jodi is my daughter’ and I’ll say ‘jodi is my friend’ and both are true, but it’s different for both of us.
John: paul, I’m not sure you really grasp the concept of relativism.
Paul: Sure I do….don’t you trust Einstein?
Me: Einstein? What does he have to do with anything?
Paul: theory of relativity man!
John: no, actually Einstein was appalled that his relativity was associated with relativism. He hated it!
Paul: wait, jesse….you have to believe Einstein. He was german….or French?
Me: no he was definitely german. A jew. Barely escaped the holocaust. Just think, we might NEVER have been able to drop a bomb on japan had he stayed in germany.
Paul: wait…he was a jew?
Me; uhh….yeah.
Paul: hm…wait. So…..jews’ hair gets white when they’re about to die?
John and me: die laughing
Paul: what?!?!
Me: where on earth did you get that idea?
Paul: haven’t you seen that picture?!?! With the tongue…and the hair?!?
Me: yes…but most older people get white hair.
Paul: you mean….you wouldn’t be surprised if Michael Jackson had white hair?
Me: uhh…no?
Paul: Well….wait a sec…Was he white or black?
Me: black…technically. He just made himself white.
Paul: ooh…here ya o. Another example. see, for his family, he was black and for the rest of us, he’s white!
Me: except that I just said he was black!
Katie: are you his family then?
Me: well apparently. According to Paul.
Paul: no…that’s not the point…..ah…you guys just don’t get it.
haha...i love Paul. he's the funniest unintentionally funny person i know!
and if you don't think this is hysterical. maybe you just had to be there. it was pretty great!
