Because Homework Sucks:

Because homework sucks,

I recommend you build a multicolored sand castle,

or compose a simple tune,

or witness the boredom of life,

or the beauty of life.

Or just watch this video 'cause its better than doing homework.

I Want It!

Bir Tawil is one of the few places on earth that is not claimed by any country. Resting between Sudan and Egypt, neither country claims it. The UK had a peace keeping hold on the territory for a while, but little interest or governing power. I guess that means its up for the taking?

America's Cup

This year's America's Cup has been postponed and by regatta rules, the earliest it can be held is Friday. Tune in for some intense action between the defending champion Alinghi5 and the Challenger, BMW Oracle USA-17.

No Classes Tomorrow.

While it snowed in Philly, it rained in Portland. While some made snowmen, I did homework (kinda?). The snow is melting and while the east is headed back to school tomorrow, the gods have granted me a retreat to the beach. I still have homework I should be doing, and tests I should be studying for, but I'm not. I'm playing around on Vimeo and Flickr.
