sup kids,

so uhh yeah, umm i am not sure how it happend and i would ask you to please not ask me, because i assure you i am not sure my self. so i was driving to work and i ran into this ditch and then a dirt wall at 44 mph. after my car went into air and landed 10 feet away very hard on the ground. there were no other cars or people involved and do not worry i am fine, just a bloody nose and some bruses, however, my car is very close to being, if not completely, totaled. i would ask one and all to please wear seat belts otherwise i would probably be dead or in critical condition.

on a lighter note one of The New York Time's headlines today was "Door-to-Door Solicitors Do Not Need Prior Permission, Court Rules" i personally find this to be histerical. i hope you all think it is great too.

here are some words:

laudable LAW-duh-bul, adjective:

Worthy of praise; commendable.

Her first answer was laudable -- she wrote that yes, she would remain engaged to a man who fell seriously ill subsequent to the engagement. --Enid Nemy, "Metropolitan Diary," [1]New York Times, January 11, 1999

The second sense in which we are feminist researchers comes from our belief that equity between boys and girls, men and women, is a laudable goal. --Justine Cassell and Henry Jenkins (editors), [2]From Barbie to Mortal Kombat[WHAT?]: Gender and Computer Games

Laudable comes from Latin laudabilis, from laudare, "to praise," from laus, laud-, "praise."

of course i would like to read this book(?) now From Barbie to Mortal Kombat: Gender and Computer Games - Amazing

aesthete ES-theet, noun:

One having or affecting great sensitivity to beauty, as in art or nature.

Beijing, with its stolid, square buildings and wide, straight roads, feels like the plan of a first-yearengineering student, while Shanghai's decorative architecture and snaking, narrow roads feel like the plan of an aesthete. --"Sky's the Limit in Shanghai," [1]Los Angeles Times, April 25, 1999

But he was also an aesthete with a connoisseur's eye for the wild modernist innovations with letterforms and layout of the 1920s. --Rick Poynor, "Herbert Spencer," [2]The Guardian, March 15, 2002

Where the standard Oxford aesthete of the 1920s had been showily dissipated, full of wild talk about decadence and beauty, Auden was preaching a new gospel of icy austerity and self-control. --Ian Hamilton, Against Oblivion

Aesthete is from Greek aisthetes, "one who perceives," from aisthanesthai, "to perceive."

so uh yeah, apparantly hulk kulkin is still a wrestler and has depanted an oppenent reciently. i will look into this further.
