Cali Academy of Sciences

This place was possible the most far out place i had been to (without having to pay for it). now normally when people say the words, Academy, Sciences and Fun all in the same sentence you would just play it off as some kinda lame joke. But believe me when i say the California Academy of Sciences is super fun and i promise if you dont go there high you are bound to learn something new. this place was like a zoo / aquarium / planetarium / museum / art gallery all put together under the same roof. unfortunately we did not have enough time to look at everything. here is some of what we did see though.

the extremely long line had me thinking this place could possible live up to the hype

a map was needed





Chow time




Pretty fish

Ugly fish


Star fish

Jelly fish



The roof had all kinds of stuff growing on it



A possible cure for AIDS?

"save the world from"




the idea board had people coming up with some very interesting ideas!




We stayed untill the doors closed. i could have spent soo much time in there looking at all the rad things. if you are ever in sf go to this place (the third wednesday of every month is the free day) i suggest you plan you trip around it!

Chemistry 50A

what can i say.... i hate this class with a passion. chemistry is super lame/boring and extremely hard but the icing on the cake is the class has two teachers (one for the lecture and one for the laboratory class) and both of them are Foreigners and suck at teaching in english

One of them speaks like this....


and the other teacher speaks like this...


needless to say when they are trying to teach you things like this...

Shittt gets to be pretty mind boggling. i guess the hole point of this post is to find someone/anyone that knows something/anything about chemistry to help me NOT fail this class because the way im going now its F-ville for me.

Sure to be an entertaining read

"Mike Tyson is quietly meeting with publishers in an effort to shop a tell-all memoir, and the early indications are that the book will focus as much on the three years he spent in prison after he was convicted of rape as it will on his 20-year boxing career.
According to the New York Post, Tyson actually began the process of writing a memoir while he was in prison, and he used his cellmate as his sounding board
Tyson has shopped his book proposal to five major publishers. The Post suggests that Tyson, who declared bankruptcy in 2003 after earning more than $300 million in his career, could fetch $4 million for his memoirs."

I think if you had never ever herd of Mike Tyson before (extremely unlikey) just one look at the picture above would probably make you think, "if that dude wrote a book about himself it would definitely be worth reading!" when this upcoming autobiography was brought to my attention i could help but think it was just a rumor. i said to myself, "Mike Tyson most likely couldnt even read a book let alone write one." but after futher research the rumors were confermed. obviously he needs money big time!

DONE

George W. will be missed

Christmas Time...

is not really that much of an important time once you hit the age of about 16 - 17. it might seem like it is because it's still shoved in your face from the start of November. but really unless you are some super sweet 16 type (aka spoiled) you aint set to pick up many good presents at all.

this year santa didnt fail in bringing me nothing in the presents department. but something Christmas Time did bring was basketball. nba fans like myself were treated to 5 games Christmas Day one after another. and i was lucky enough to watch nearly all of them. so my day in picture kinda went like this

The only type of tree i mess with on christmas!

Gotta have beverages on the special day

Hoops

Hoops

And more Hoops


Merry Christmas kids
Lookin forward to this new year..

So Unnecessary

I cant believe i didnt think of this. but then again i didnt think there was anyone out there stupid enough that they think they need to buy a book to tell them how to blog. this just goes to show you really can make money off people's stupidity/ignorance. im quite interested in speaking to a reader of this book firstly to ask them why in gods name do you need a book to tell you how to express your veiws and all the other things blogging intales and secondly why they think a bunch middle aged professers will give the best advice on the subject. although im not taking into account how many "nerdy" bloggers and future bloggers there are that would think this book is a great investment, but still gimma a break.

Something for all you Weed Heads

World's oldest marijuana stash totally busted
Two pounds of still-green weed found in a 2,700-year-old Gobi Desert gravesite

"Nearly two pounds of still-green plant material found in a 2,700-year-old grave in the Gobi Desert has just been identified as the world's oldest marijuana stash, according to a paper in the latest issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany.
A barrage of tests proves the marijuana possessed potent psychoactive properties and casts doubt on the theory that the ancients only grew the plant for hemp in order to make clothing, rope and other objects. Lead author Ethan Russo told Discovery News that the marijuana "is quite similar" to what's grown today.
"We know from both the chemical analysis and genetics that it could produce THC (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid synthase, the main psychoactive chemical in the plant)," he explained, adding that no one could feel its effects today, due to decomposition over the millennia.
Russo served as a visiting professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Institute of Botany while conducting the study. He and his international team analyzed the cannabis, which was excavated at the Yanghai Tombs near Turpan, China. It was found lightly pounded in a wooden bowl in a leather basket near the head of a blue-eyed Caucasian man who died when he was about 45.
"This individual was buried with an unusual number of high value, rare items," Russo said, mentioning that the objects included a make-up bag, bridles, pots, archery equipment and a kongou harp. The researchers believe the individual was a shaman from the Gushi people, who spoke a now-extinct language called Tocharian that was similar to Celtic.
Scientists originally thought the plant material in the grave was coriander, but microscopic botanical analysis of the bowl contents, along with genetic testing, revealed that it was cannabis. The size of seeds mixed in with the leaves, along with their color and other characteristics, indicate the marijuana came from a cultivated strain. Before the burial, someone had carefully picked out all of the male plant parts, which are less psychoactive, so Russo and his team believe there is little doubt as to why the cannabis was grown. What is in question, however, is how the marijuana was administered, since no pipes or other objects associated with smoking were found in the grave.
"Perhaps it was ingested orally," Russo said. "It might also have been fumigated, as the Scythian tribes to the north did subsequently."
Although other cultures in the area used hemp to make various goods as early as 7,000 years ago, additional tomb finds indicate the Gushi fabricated their clothing from wool and made their rope out of reed fibers. The scientists are unsure if the marijuana was grown for more spiritual or medical purposes, but it's evident that the blue-eyed man was buried with a lot of it. "As with other grave goods, it was traditional to place items needed for the afterlife in the tomb with the departed," Russo said.
The ancient marijuana stash is now housed at Turpan Museum in China. In the future, Russo hopes to conduct further research at the Yanghai site, which has 2,000 other tombs."

This was the most amazing article i have come across in a very long time. it all pretty much speaks for itself, but its was a very interesting read and i hope everyone enjoyed at as much as i did. oh and how good it the title they gave it. now i must go and do like our ancestors did!

P Diddy the Next Bond!?

So I stumbled across this great atricle.


You have got to be kidding me. The day there is a black bond is the day anti-racism has gone too far. I thought a black kid playing Bob Dylan as a child in the smash hit 'I'm Not There' was bad enough but this really puts the mud on the coconut cake so to speak. Next thing we know Ice Cube will be auditioning for Superman and Samuel L. Jackson will be winning awards for being the first black Batman. The answer to your question is, lay off Puff Daddy, just LAY OFF!

Athletes and Guns

"Plaxico Burress, NFL's New York Giants’ controversial wide receiver, accidentally shot himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan night club last night where he was partying with teammate Antonio Pierce, a source told the Daily News.
The 31-year-old Burress spent the night in a local hospital with what one source described as “a non-life-threatening wound”. The Giants, in a statement released by the team this afternoon, called it “an apparent accidental shooting.” He was released from the hospital at approximately 2 p.m.
Burress, the police said, did not have a permmit to carry a gun in New York City. A law Enforcement offical said that the gun, a Glock semiautomatic pistol, was recovered at Burress' home in Totowa, New Jersey."

Plax.

Looking in from another country you might think its pretty amazing how insane professional athletes in the US are. in the 4 or 5 months sinces ive been back 3 other NFL players have been involved in shootings. but if you kinda read between the lines its not all that suprising. obviously all the of the players involved are black and normally come from the same hoods as most major rappers. they have gone through all the same shit they just have a different tallent. so growing up around guns and all that negativity you are bound to feel like you have to protect yourself even more cause of your fame, fortune, and also old hommies being jealous of your sucess.

But still thats no excuse for shooting yourself!
