This test only has one question, but it's a very important one. By giving an honest answer, you will discover where you stand morally.

This test features an unlikely, completely fictional situation in which you will have to make a decision. Remember that your answer needs to be honest, yet spontaneous. Please scroll down slowly and give due consideration to each line.

You are in Florida, in Miami to be specific. There is chaos all around you caused by a hurricane with severe flooding. This is a flood of biblical proportions. You are a photojournalist working for a major newspaper, and you're caught in the middle of this epic disaster. The situation is nearly hopeless. You're trying to shoot career-making photos. There are houses and people swirling around you, some disappearing under the water. Nature is unleashing all of its destructive fury.

Suddenly you see a woman in the water. She is fighting for her life, trying not to be taken down with the debris. You move closer......somehow the woman looks amiliar......You suddenly realize who it is. It's Hillary Clinton! At the same time you notice that the raging waters are about to take her under forever.

You have two options. You can save the life of Hilary Clinton, or you can shoot a dramatic Pulitzer Prize winning photo, documenting the death of one of the world's most powerful women.


So here is the question and please give an honest answer.

Would you select a high speed color film, or would you go with the classic simplicity of black and white?

oren's wise ol' words on relationships:

"women are like computers; you can only turn them on for so long. and after a while you just have to upgrade."

you ppl should hear 1/2 of the things oren says when nobody's around =)
Over The Edge"

She wants to know where I've been
She's got the gloves on again
She thinks she's smooth now I'm saying
I'm not going down (I'm not going down)
You say this ain't the end to me
Fall down, pull the rug under me
Feels like I'm falling but I tell you
I'm not going down
One day, you'll be the end of me
Go blind, pull the wool over me
Feels like I'm falling but I tell you
I'm not going down
Because you push me over the edge
Tired of wasting my time, tired of wasting my breath
Because you push me over the edge
Tired of wasting my time
And you're putting me through this again (through this again)
She wants to fight and I've been drinking
We put the walls up again
I know she's right that I'm tripping
But I'm not going down
[Repeat Chorus]
Because you
Never did try
Never did look to see that I'm alright (whoaaaaaa)
Because you're
Always right
Gotta fight
Always wanna know (whoaaaaaa)
Because you.....
[x2]
[Repeat Chorus]

so today after the kings/twolves ot thriller, i decided to go to wendy's @ the union to fill my starving stomach. so there was this certain lady cashier working there. she happily greeted her previous clients with smile and jokes, but when she took my order, she got extremely impatient and started letting out this long sigh once every 10 seconds, which annoyed the hell out of me. she finally gave me my order after 10 minutes (the 3 guys after me all got their food before me). i asked her for ketchups, and the first time she just looked at me then looked away and continued taking other ppl's orders. i asked her AGAIN, and she rolled her eyes at me and just completely ignored me. i looked at her dead in the eyes, was going to cuss the living hell out of her, then i just turned around, walked past 4-5 other ppl waiting for their order, and said "yeah, whatever".

see now this is the thing. if you are working minimum wage jobs and get treated like shit, don't fucking take it out on me. i didn't do shit to provoke you in the first place, and i demand the same respect i give you. if you are, say, "tired" and "exhausted," take off your goddamn name tag off and go home. you are working for your money, and treating your customer like crap just because you feel like it isn't what you are paid to do. as long as you are working and get paid, you better damn well put on a happy face.

so me and oren were walking back to our dorm, trying to make light of the situation, joking around, stuff like that. when we were crossing 21st at speedway, some asian girl in her car drove right in front of us at the stop sign while kept on talking on her cell phone. the side view mirror was about 2 ft from hitting us and she drove past us at about 15mph (at a fucking stop sign). i guess that put me over the edge because i just shouted out "yeah, fuck you too" in the middle of the street. that attracted some attention for some ppl started looking our way. is that bitch in that much of a hurry that she can't fucking see pedestrians crossing the damn street?

is this the monthly "piss off nathan" day today or what?

Poor Francis...

"Speaking of Francis, is he not the most frustrating player in the game right now? I hate to rip him, since he is an ex-Terrapin, but he is beginning to put "Fear the Turtle" to shame. More like "Spear the Turtle." Somebody needs to tell Franchise that before he goes ripping aside his jersey to presumably expose his enlarged heart, he needs to actually hit the game-winning shot, not the one that ties the game with time still left. I wonder why he didn't do anything when he chucked up that airball at the buzzer that led to overtime in Game 5, which the Lakers predictably won. After that 18-foot airball that missed by a foot -- which is the NBA playoffs equivalent of a smart bomb aimed at Baghdad taking out the Eiffel Tower -- maybe Franchise should have ripped aside the right side of his jersey, where he does not have a heart."
