Lunch with the red headed Brigid (or just how much I hate treehugging liberals)

[Author's preface: This was a couple of weeks ago, during dead days at the University of Tulsa. D2 wants to let you know he despises Brigid, but greatly respects her drive and willpower. Okay, D2 actually considers Brigid a good friend even though they always seem to be at odds. A Platonic relationship, if you will. D2 imagines that he would have the same type of conversation with many of his readers if he ever got the opportunity to meet them in person. The author knows that he has changed the exact transcript of the conversation, and for that he asks the red headed Brigid to forgive any errors.

The following conversation contains a lot of insight into D2 and who he is. Note that he is talking to a Truman Scholar, Udall Scholar, and Top Ten Senior at the University of Tulsa. Brigid is a very talented but headstrong girl while D2 is a very gifted but obstinate guy. In anime terms, their relationship is most analogous to that of Amuro Rey and Char Aznable of Mobile Suit Gundam fame, a rivalry on which they can fight on the same side but they are so diametrically opposed to teach other they must fight. The author leaves it to the reader to figure out which is which.]

Administration
I've already had to delete one unruly post trying to usurp my authority on my LJ. Note to any aspiring revolutionists: I am a benevolent dictator, but I will not hesitate to use extreme force to quell a rebellion.

When someone gets engaged
You congratulate the groom (for landing a nice catch) and send your best wishes to the bride (because she needs a lot of luck).

Funny voicemail messages
zarhooie has a very funny voice message.

Senior Project
Okay, I'm actually going to do the reboot. Hopefully, it works out this time.

The difference between accuracy and precision
An accurate gun always hits the right target. A precise gun consistently hits the same spot, but not necessarily the right target. (Thank you AP Chemistry)

Convos of the Day
G: I find it ironic that conservatives are pro-life and for the death peanlty but liberals are pro-choice and anti-death penalty.
D2: I don't find that strange at all.
G: How do you figure that?
D2: Think about it. Conservatives try to preserve society. So they are willing to take a chance on an undetermined life, and in the same vein they are willing to eliminate members of society who threaten its well being. Liberals try to revolutionize society. So they are willing to eliminate the undetermined and hold on to what they can change or rehabilitate, as is the case with murderers.
G: That's very counterintuitive.

Quote of the Day
"LJ shouldn't be a transcription service. Writing is an art, not a tape recording."
~zoethe, in reference to this experimental writing of mine

Link of the Day
2005 just got one second longer.

Sports Report
It's official: Lebron James is sick. The Cleveland Cavaliers can make it the Eastern Conference Finals if they can topple Miami or Detroit in the semis.

DeAngelo Williams of Memphis should be a top 5 draft pick next year.

Dad got a raise
Woot!
