Well, it's World History Honors so we have to read things like that. And Seattle is a VERY open city. We also read VERY racist documents but it's to learn about the past. It's very interesting actually. I wouldn't want to report it cause I like being able to know what average people won't learn in average classes and my teacher's hot.

Plus it's really hard reading and I like to challenge my self. We read the Declaration of Rights of Man (France), the Communist Manifesto (U.S.S.R), and other documents like that. Don't worry, US History AP is gonna kill me next year. I won't do much Sketchup next year.

Pittsburgh has an incredible skyline. It's underrated, it's not popular enough considering all of the great buildings it has. One of my favorite buildings, One PPG Place, is just behind the Mellon Bank Center in that shot.

i love this image of Pittsburgh. the beautiful PPG place is the best one :cool:

Yeah, it does have a great skyline. I love that picture too. I love pictures that look from the 70's and 80's. Just some of the best years ever.

Pittsburgh has an attractive skyline. IMO PPG Place would make the best World HQ of a corporation. It has such as powerful vibe.

Aleks May 3, 2008 4:21 AM

It's such an evil place. I love it.

She Wants Revenge is coming with the Switches. I wanna see them so bad!

guns are bad

Aleks May 3, 2008 5:16 AM

Yeah, that's not psycho. But really. I want one so bad. Is it air-soft? Cause I like paintball ones better. They leave you all colorful and deep under your clothes they leave you colorful too. Purple to be exact. I LOVE it when you're paintballin and you're in the big balloon field and then when you shoot and the paintball hits the balloons it makes this cool noise.

The my favorite is being on the hill, cause it's so exciting cause you don't know where anyone is. My least favorite is "get to the other side" You run as fast as you can shooting at other people on like a maze or something and you have to get to the other side without being shot. It's just not as fun as the other things.

I don't think guns are bad. You just need to be smart to use one. Because idiots can do idiotic things when they get mad or are just being stupid.

Peter May 3, 2008 5:48 AM

Guns are only cool in westerns.

Ima paintball player also, and I really love speedball (the inflateable bunkers). They make that awesome ringing noise, like Aleks said. I also like woodball and hybrid (woodsball with a lot of bunkers) but I prefer to play some of everything in one outing.
I'm not as much into airsoft as paintball, but my friends really like airsoft. And paintball. And Call of Duty 4. And they are in ROTC...

Dac150 May 3, 2008 5:33 PM

I never really got into the whole paintball and airsoft craze. My brother bought enough airsoft guns to supply a small army, because he plays often with his friends. You name the gun, he's got it.

I bought a airsoft Desert Eagle a few years back to shoot around with my brother. I always found they were fun for the first few minutes, but then the novelty wore off. If you play with a group of guys, it's a bit more entertaining, but I'd choose sketch-up over airsoft any day (unless it's like 100 vs. 100).

ahahah I was gonna say Guns are bad, except in action dramas. w00t.

Aleks May 3, 2008 7:19 PM

Well, I like paintball more than airsoft.

Has anybody seen There Will be Blood? It was such a good movie. Better than No Country for Old Men. I specially love the beginning to the middle. But it's really nasty. Even though they show less blood than in No Country for Old Men they still make it seem more gory. IDK why but I love that movie.

It was so fucked up when the main character (Martin Plainview?) leaves his kid in the train because he's deaf. It's just an awesome movie.

verticalextropy May 3, 2008 7:28 PM

I must have bought many chinese pressure bb guns, I enjoyed the first 3 days with them, then I'd break them or lose them.
paintballed in the woods once. quiet cool.

Aleks May 3, 2008 9:49 PM

Well, I just got finished watching Children of Men and it reminded me of what a great movie it was. There are some really really sad moments in that movie. And the acting was great, and so were the scenes. Everything looked so real and sad.

Great movie.

Dac150 May 3, 2008 10:33 PM

Well the movie I'm looking foward to seeing is Wall Street, which is on AMC tomorrow night at 8pm. It dates back to 1987, but it's perhaps my favorite movie of all time.

When I first saw this movie going a few years back, it inspired me to be a corporate tycoon rather than an architect. Shortly after that, the Apprentice went on air, and that sealed the deal for me wanting to become the President, Chairman, & CEO of my own real estate development corporation.

It's funny how much influence movies and TV can have on a person. Who knows, in a decade from now I can be a multi billionaire and living my dream, and it would be all thanks to the influence the movie Wall Street had on my mind.
