Scientists Lack of Responsibility
With the possiblity of life re assesed in our solar system to being more probably one must stop to think of the ramifications of cross planet contamination as I am going to call it. We are sending a space craft to distant places in the solar system like mars and the moon Titan and other hot spots for life. And we could perhaps bring many potententially dangerous lifeforms to earth (bacteria most likely). However I believe we have a screening process to attempt to determine weather or not that has happened and they try to decontaminate the spacecraft upon return that is if it does return to earth at all. However, what about the places we send space craft? Did we ever stop to think that maybe we are sending infected space craft to other planets and we may wipe out the life that may or may not be there? I dunno, but I think scientists don't research things before they attempt to do them, thats my biggest annoyance with them. If they can do it alot of times its done before any ask should we. Take for instance the release of mongoose (or ferret i forget) (the one that eats snakes) to control the snake population in hawaii. It turned out there were hardly any snakes there in the first place, and then they had to many mongoose/ferrets... So what do they do? Introduce another animal the cat. To kill the mongoose/ferrets... Gee did this tactic work before? Now they have an overubandance of cats. Well DUH! This has happened many times before with many different animals in many different places. Thats only one example. Another is the A-Bomb they didn't even know the after affects of the radiation and the nuclear winter and whatever they just deployed it on thousands to millions of innocent people. Sorry sometimes I get sidetracked, but the point is I think before we start sending space craft willy nilly into potential life rich places we should do the research and see if we can discover what we are dealing with. Before we just rush blindly on the surface and discover that OH HEY. Maybe there is stuff here after all but we killed it. Or even maybe some aliens that dont like us dumping our trash in their back yard and get royally pissed off. HAHA. Who knows. Until next time... BEAM ME UP SCOTTY! (err thats the oldest one in the book bob) (I know that, but sometimes oldies are goodies!)

Dreams are Slippery Fish
Just when you think your dream has been finally realized they wriggles free of your hand. I think thats the worst part. The joy it brings to think you finally achieved your goal as your spirits soar then to learn that the evil phenomenon of gravity still exists as it pulls them down and smashes them on the evil rocks of reality. It laughs in your face and says hahahahaha bastard! You actually thought you could win in this life? Well not today. But all you gotta do is fly the bird at that bastard right back and tell him to go @#$@# himself because some day hes gonna die!!!!!!!!

Every Squirrel is Sacred
Every Squirrel is sacred,
Every Squirrel is great,
If one gets runover,
God gets quite irate.
When the thoughtless drivers,
Squash them on the ground,
God shall make them pay for,
Each Squirrel that gets run down!
Every Squirrel is sacred,
Every Squirrel is good,
Every Squirrel is needed,
In your neighborhood.
Many urban dwellers,
Never give them food,
But God loves those who treat their
Squirrels with gratitude.
Every Squirrel is useful,
Every Squirrel is fine.
God needs all the critters,
Scamper!
Nibble!
Climb!
Let the hunters shoot them,
On mountain, hill and plain,
God shall strike them down for
Each Squirrel that's killed or maimed.
Every Squirrel is sacred,
Every Squirrel is good,
Every Squirrel is needed,
In your neighborhood!

Cheating Wife
A man and a woman meet at a bar one night and are getting along really well. They decide to go back to the woman's house where they engage in passionate lovemaking.
The woman suddenly turns up her ear and says, "Quick, my husband just got home, go hide in the bathroom!" So the man runs into the bathroom.
Her husband comes up into the bedroom and looks at her. "Why are you naked?" he asks.
Well, I heard you pull up outside, so I thought I would come up here and get ready to receive you."
"Okay," the man replies, "I'll go get ready."
He goes into the bathroom before his wife can stop him and sees a naked man standing there clapping his hands.
"Who the hell are you?" the man asks.
"I am from the exterminator company, your wife called me in to get rid of the moths you are having problems with."
The husband exclaims, "But you're naked!"
The man then looks down and jumps back in surprise.
"Those little bastards!"

ARGH! Where'd you come from?.
There is a guy at work whos nickname is Skippy. But his real name is Jasan (hmm Jason Borne? hehe) But anyway he is a 40 year old bachelor who works at Zkota Grill. He has big round bored looking eyes and a crew cut. Has a bit of a belly and average height. He went to college to be a landscape designer, but decided he couldn't do that. But anyway I think its just a cover. He is always sneaking up on people and scaring him accidently and otherwise. I was making a sandwhich today, and turned around and ran into him... He wasn't there a second ago, and he always does that. I think Zkota is just a cover and he is actually an assassin sleeper agent for the government. Just waiting to be activated incase terrorists ever break into South Dakota!

The Green Mile & Harry Potter
I have read the Harry Potter books and then a little while after that the Green Mile by stephen king. I noticed something funny. In the Green Mile there are alot of names from Harry Potter. Like: Harry, Hermione, Percy, Bill, Dean, I think there are some more. Perhaps its coincidance, but I did see that Stephen King said he has read the Harry Potter books. The text says copyright 1996. Was Harry Potter printed before then? Not sure... OR could Rowlings be copying Stephen King? I dunno... Strange....
Weird Old Ladies
There is this old lady who apparently is a semi regular at Zkota Grill. She usually takes the drive thru and requests a hamburger with 12 pickels only. And she counts them and if she don't have exactly 12... she gets angry. LOL. I dunno but it sounds weird to me.

And the World Shall Rise Against Thee
Is that in the bible? I don't think so but listen to this. I decide maybe I should study... ME! At least for the finals right? So I open my psychology book. Our test is over chapters 11-13. I look in the table of contents... it skips from like chap 10 to chapter 15... Am I missing something... So I turn to the actual chapter ten and it skips in the text as well to 15. Ok the world must be against me I try to study and somehow my chapters which I was to study mysteriously vansish... NO LIE! Aint that Ironic!

Looking Back As I Travel Forward
~By Tyler West
As I sit alone on my bed
In between Live I reflect on the past
recalling my fond memories of highschool
Oh how far I have come
but yet how far I have to go
I miss my old friends, my haunts, my old life...
I must come to terms with its demise
It has been condemed just as my old school has
Yet I imagine every room as it once stood
As I recall bittersweet memories of lost times
When I return to my school a gaping hole
It looms before me a hole in thin air
like the hole where my old life was
Sometimes as silly as it sounds
and as much as I once longed to escape
I yearn to be going to my old HS again
A place once termed a prison by me
Its memories nonetheless serve as solace from the future
Yes it could be a place of penance and boredom
But I also remember good times... No Great Times
We gave life to those moments And lived
Like playing hack-u-sack
Or talking to friends in the hall
Sitting at lunch and making dirty food jokes
I miss Dustin drawing dirty pictures on my notebooks when unattended
Or Paul talking about magic and cards and computer games
Study hall with Mrs. Coughlin and Darci the "Baby Birds" =)
My talks with Roy about cars and teasing Darci in English
I loved the magical night at prom and our silly antics at play
I even miss Nikki's playful attacks
Most of all I guess I miss the feeling of new love
Actually wanting to go to school just to see my girlfriend
The knowledge that she is in the same building as me
The feeling that just maybe I'd bump into her accidently
I yearned for the bell so we'd "accidently" meet in the hall
Drawing love doodles and her name all over my papers
Writing love notes to one another
Hanging by her locker
and lying in study hall and just talking
Oh the wonderful butterflies you get when in love
I so enjoyed walking down the hallway
hand in hand evin if people told us to "get a room"
Being with my lovely day to day is what I miss the most
I know even if somehow I could get back
It'd be different No friends. Id be outta place
We'd get kicked out for PDA anyway probably!
I seen you look at her sideways! DID SHE GIVE YOU A PENCIL?
YOUR HANDS ALMOST TOUCHED! PDA! PDA! PDA! ALERT THE COPS A FEDERAL CRIME IN PROGRESS!
Yet I now realized I have outgrown HS.
I am not sure If I am ready for whats next
But I dont have much of a choice
The unknown future looms before me
bekoning forth with so many paths
I must simply follow and have faith
The lord will help if I but ask
If I look I will be shown the path
I must simply follow and have faith
Whatever the path I choos to take
It shall be ok, weary though it may be
Because Tammy loves me and walks by my side
Night has set upon my old life
However a new dawn rises before me
Filled with potential for a new life
I must simply arise and grasp it
and my hopes and dreams shall be a reality
As I look at the past it gives mehope for what lies before me
Those fun days may be gone but more will surely come
Fear not for your life has just begun!
~The End~
This wasnt exactly a poem but Its just my thoughts in verse. I dont care its what I think is cool. My poem is not to say I am not in love now. I am deeply then I have ever been before, just that simply I'd see my girlfriend more and it fostered fun and happiness I lack in my college life. When I wrote this I was feeling bad and wanting to return to my old memories. But when I was done I accept what I ahve now and know it will be good. I love my girlfriend and I cant wait to see her again. Writing sure helps you get your feelings in the open and exam them.
