(9:27:58 PM): I'm thinking about teaching.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:28:23 PM): Either collegiate or high school. I'm also studying Religious Studies and Arabic, so I have a lot of career options available.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:28:34 PM): But I should probably decide soon considering I'm graduating in a couple of years.
Living2Teach (9:28:53 PM): lol yeah
Living2Teach (9:28:55 PM): all sounds fun
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:29:11 PM): Yep. I love History the most though, I'm in three classes right now alone.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:29:47 PM): And if I could do anything for the rest of my life I'd probably just go to school.. so I think teaching is a adequate cross-over.
Living2Teach (9:30:01 PM): lol you like studying?
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:30:11 PM): Yeah. I love reading and learning about History, mostly.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:30:42 PM): I'm mainly interested in The Third Reich in Germany.. it's a fascinating era.
Living2Teach (9:33:20 PM): yeah history is great
Living2Teach (9:33:26 PM): I was a big civil war fan myself
Living2Teach (9:33:41 PM): third reich is the start of the nazi movement, right? lol
Living2Teach (9:33:48 PM): I never taught anything in that detail so it's been a while
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:34:17 PM): The Third Reich is the name the Nazis gave to the German empire when it was under their control from around 1933-up until the end of the war in 1945
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:36:05 PM): But I love the Civil War, I'm pretty interested in the Slavery aspect of it.. African American History is also another one of my main interests.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:36:37 PM): There seems to be a focus on the latter part of American History at IU, though, so we don't get to learn that much about it.
Living2Teach (9:37:07 PM): lol yeah
Living2Teach (9:37:12 PM): that's one thing about college I don't like
Living2Teach (9:37:16 PM): the teacher can slant it however he wants
Living2Teach (9:37:19 PM): or she
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:38:42 PM): Yeah. Luckily most of my professors are brilliant.. and it's really interesting because they are the ones that are molding the study of History now.. for example, my History of the Holocaust professor is a leading contributor to the Holocaust Museum in D.C.
Living2Teach (9:39:00 PM): oh wow lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:40:12 PM): Yeah, that's kinda a draw to being a Professor.. You write books and stuff as your job.. but it's also a lot of schooling.
Living2Teach (9:40:31 PM): yeah I was never smart enough to be a professor
Living2Teach (9:40:49 PM): I was good at getting kids to grasp history
Living2Teach (9:40:56 PM): my knowledge isn't anything speical
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:41:25 PM): But that's the most important part of high school teaching.. to instill people to not think that history is boring and monothilic.. it's exciting and entertaining.
Living2Teach (9:41:48 PM): right lol
Living2Teach (9:41:55 PM): yeah I love kids
Living2Teach (9:42:17 PM): I mean I probably could have been a professor had I really studied hard
Living2Teach (9:42:23 PM): but I will leave that to the brilliant minds
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:42:46 PM): Yeah.
Living2Teach (9:42:58 PM): so what else do you like to do?
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:43:04 PM): I study a lot, haha.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:43:12 PM): But I'm into sports, I guess. And politics.
Living2Teach (9:43:13 PM): lol that's good
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:43:36 PM): I would like to travel a lot.. but I can't afford it.. haven't been out of the country or on a airplane, haha.
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:43:42 PM): What do you like to do?
Living2Teach (9:50:18 PM): talk to my wife
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:51:03 PM): I'm guessing that takes up a lot of your time? haha
Living2Teach (9:51:11 PM): lol she's died
Living2Teach (9:51:19 PM): I really don't have much of a life anymore
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:51:20 PM): Oh, I'm sorry.
Living2Teach (9:51:32 PM): it's alright
Living2Teach (9:51:36 PM): I'll be with her soon enough
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:51:49 PM): That's good =)
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:52:03 PM): So, do you play these games a lot?
Living2Teach (9:52:11 PM): this is my first

Auto Response from Living2Teach (10:11:51 PM): Enter away message text here.
Living2Teach returned at 10:11:54 PM.
Living2Teach (10:12:14 PM): nothing you?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:12:34 PM): Not much. Considering doing some reading for Greek history but probably gonna save it until tommorrow morning.. class doesn't start until 1
Living2Teach (10:12:49 PM): lol wow
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:13:17 PM): Yep. I go from 1-3:45. Two hour and fifteen minute classes.. One on Greek History and the other on World War 2.
Living2Teach (10:13:31 PM): oh wow
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:13:44 PM): Fun times.
Living2Teach (10:14:25 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:14:28 PM): college was fun
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:14:51 PM): Yeah, where'd ya go?
Living2Teach (10:15:33 PM): Thomas Edison
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:15:48 PM): Where's that at?
Living2Teach (10:15:53 PM): New Jersey lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:16:21 PM): Ah, cool. So you went to college in the late 60s, early 70s?
Living2Teach (10:16:30 PM): yes sir
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:16:59 PM): Nice. 1968 is my favorite historical year.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:17:05 PM): Just a FYI for you, haha.
Living2Teach (10:17:15 PM): wow lol
Living2Teach (10:17:20 PM): that's cool
Living2Teach (10:17:26 PM): my freshmen year of college
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:17:45 PM): Yeah. Tet Offensive, assassinations of RFK/JFK, Chicago Dem. Convention, etc. All just really cool stuff.
Living2Teach (10:18:01 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:18:06 PM): middle of the space race
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:18:10 PM): Yep.
Living2Teach (10:18:15 PM): good times
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:18:20 PM): Haha. Do you remember much of it?
Living2Teach (10:18:28 PM): I remember what it was like
Living2Teach (10:18:35 PM): "the soviets are going to invade"
Living2Teach (10:18:39 PM): all that good stuff
Living2Teach (10:18:44 PM): details are a little fuzzy haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:05 PM): Haha. The 70s a little blurry for ya? =P
Living2Teach (10:19:18 PM): lol it all is
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:22 PM): hahaha.
Living2Teach (10:19:25 PM): it's called getting old
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:38 PM): Ah, I thought you were inferring drug use, haha.
Living2Teach (10:19:57 PM): oh no lol
Living2Teach (10:20:00 PM): not for me
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:20:09 PM): That's good, probably one of the few exceptions, haha
Living2Teach (10:20:17 PM): oh no kidding lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:21:23 PM): Yeah, haha.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:21:41 PM): So you just decided to start playing now? Do you know how these games work?
Living2Teach (10:21:53 PM): I've watched survivor since it came out
Living2Teach (10:22:07 PM): seems like a great mental game
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:22:22 PM): Yeah. It is. I love competing. I played football and chess in high school.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:22:35 PM): So, whose your favorite contestant?
Living2Teach (10:22:42 PM): dan
Living2Teach (10:22:49 PM): I know but he was a lot like me I think
Living2Teach (10:22:52 PM): well a lot smarter but
Living2Teach (10:23:00 PM): you?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:23:10 PM): Hmm.. I like Greg from Season 1 a lot.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:23:33 PM): He is the one who I can relate to the most I think
Living2Teach (10:24:06 PM): oh really, why is that?
Living2Teach (10:24:12 PM): get the hot chick? haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:24:16 PM): Haha. I wish.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:24:30 PM): Just kinda offbeat humor and values intellectualism.. and somewhat misunderstood.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:25:05 PM): I'm generally a fan of anyone who I think is a good character.. Either good or evil.. if they are entertaining or interesting I like 'em.
Living2Teach (10:26:17 PM): oh
Living2Teach (10:26:21 PM): what did you make of ole fairplay?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:26:51 PM): Entertaining. Kinda a asshole. For being a villain he did not really have a lot of good gameplay.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:06 PM): I mean, I prefer Boston Rob over him as a villain. Or Randy from this season.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:08 PM): How about you?
Living2Teach (10:27:20 PM): I agree with what you think about Jonny
Living2Teach (10:27:31 PM): though I think the most underrated player and villian is Brian
Living2Teach (10:27:32 PM): very slick
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:48 PM): Yeah, he was excellent. Probably one of the best players of all time, if not the best.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:55 PM): I also like Chris from Vanuatu and Judd from Guatemala
Living2Teach (10:27:59 PM): most underrated
Living2Teach (10:28:10 PM): Chris really got lucky, and Judd didn't have real great game play
Living2Teach (10:28:13 PM): though very fun to watch
Living2Teach (10:28:21 PM): I kind of like Jean Robert game play wise, he had some good ideas
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:29:09 PM): Yeah, Chris got lucky but he at least at the intuition to just let the girls pick each other off, which a lot of people didn't. Judd didn't have good gameplay but was just hilarious.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:29:20 PM): Jean Robert was good, yeah. Survivor strategy is really interesting to me.
Living2Teach (10:29:25 PM): same here
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:30:16 PM): I've found that a lot of different strategies can win the game, it's just a matter of the circumstances employed in how effective they are.
Living2Teach (10:30:30 PM): agreed
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:31:09 PM): I generally despise under the radar players if that's all they are doing.. just not contributing anything to the game.. but people like Tina and Vecepia played UTR like it's supposed to be.
Living2Teach (10:31:23 PM): yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:33:10 PM): But yeah, if you ever have any questions about how these games work, I'm happy to answer them.
Living2Teach (10:33:20 PM): oh well thank you
Living2Teach (10:33:24 PM): you seem like a very nice young man
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:33:51 PM): You aren't bad yourself, haha.
Living2Teach (10:33:55 PM): lol thanks
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:36:03 PM): We seem to have a whole bunch of active people.. always good, lol. Sometimes you have games where the first three or four boots are people who are inactive.
Living2Teach (10:37:27 PM): lol they seem kind of inactive
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:37:46 PM): Well, I've only really talked to you, but there seems to be a lot of people on AIM at least.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:37:50 PM): Have you talked to anyone else?
Living2Teach (10:38:15 PM): just my tribe really
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:38:42 PM): Yeah, me too. Just you on my tribe actually, haha. What do you think of everyone else?
Living2Teach (10:39:49 PM): lol I'm not on your tribe?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:39:55 PM): You aren't?
Living2Teach (10:40:00 PM): no
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:40:01 PM): Hm. Okay. Haha.
Living2Teach (10:40:05 PM): i don't think
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:40:16 PM): I did not realize you were not, haha.
Living2Teach (10:41:59 PM): lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:43:24 PM): Well, how do you like your tribemates anyways?
Living2Teach (10:43:45 PM): good good
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:44:27 PM): Haha. That's good.
Living2Teach (10:45:37 PM): yeah lol
Living2Teach (10:45:38 PM): you?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:45:48 PM): I haven't really talked to them.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:45:50 PM): Probably should get on that.
Living2Teach (10:45:54 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:46:16 PM): Oh well, the immunity challenge isn't until Wednesday.
Living2Teach (10:46:38 PM): lol he just changed it
Living2Teach (10:46:44 PM): thanks for telling me
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:11 PM): Yeah, tommorrow is a big day in American histor.y
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:13 PM): I'm excited.
Living2Teach (10:47:17 PM): me too
Living2Teach (10:47:26 PM): though I do like both of them
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:32 PM): Me too.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:48:07 PM): I already voted, for Obama, partially because I like him a bit more and partially because I think Palin as Veep is just absurd.
Living2Teach (10:48:22 PM): oh me too
Living2Teach (10:48:32 PM): though I don't think there is anything wrong with Palin
Living2Teach (10:48:51 PM): I just think it's time to balance the parties out
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:49:44 PM): Yeah, I agree. It's certainly going to be historic if Obama is elected.
Living2Teach (10:49:51 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:49:56 PM): even if palin is VP
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:50:04 PM): Yeah.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:50:18 PM): The thought of her leading the country is kinda terrifying.
Living2Teach (10:50:31 PM): eh
Living2Teach (10:50:36 PM): she has some strong points
Living2Teach (10:50:42 PM): I disagree with her, but she is a strong willed women
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:51:04 PM): Yeah..
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:51:33 PM): Luke Russert, Tim Russert's son, is reporting to the Today Show, MSNBC, etc. from the campus here.. I saw him today interviewing someone.
Living2Teach (10:51:47 PM): oh cool
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:52:05 PM): Yeah, pretty cool.
Living2Teach (10:52:10 PM): yes sir
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:53:14 PM): My friend said he was going to get interview and start spewing Nazi rhetoric for shits and giggles.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:53:23 PM): And see how Luke reacts.
Living2Teach (10:53:38 PM): lmao
Living2Teach (10:53:41 PM): that's funny
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:54:07 PM): "We must expand the nation and gain Lebensraum.. for the growth of our people alone!"
Living2Teach (10:54:18 PM): haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:55:41 PM): Haha. I'm most likely just going to order pizza and watch the election alone, ocassionally crying, haha.
Living2Teach (10:55:54 PM): why crying?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:56:07 PM): Haha, I was being sarcastic.
Living2Teach (10:56:14 PM): oh lol
Living2Teach (10:56:17 PM): gotcha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:57:03 PM): Yeah. Some of these attack ads are just getting kinda brutal though.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:57:11 PM): With the whole Obama is a terrorist thing going on.
Living2Teach (10:57:50 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:57:51 PM): that's bogus
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:01:47 PM): Yeah, iunno. It's going to be fun to watch though
Living2Teach (11:01:56 PM): yes sir it is
Living2Teach (11:02:29 PM): you had sort of an important vote hih?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:02:40 PM): Hmm?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:04:21 PM): Oops, got knocked off. If you told me anything you are going to have to repeat it lol
Living2Teach (11:04:36 PM): you had sort of an important vote huh?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:17 PM): What do you mean?
Living2Teach (11:05:45 PM): indiana is such a key state
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:55 PM): Yeah,.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:59 PM): It hasn't gone blue since 1964
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:08 PM): So, if Obama captures it will be pretty amazing
Living2Teach (11:06:13 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:31 PM): It's interesting, there's a phenomena occuring where even Southern Indiana racists are voting for Obama because of anti-Palinism or the deal with the economy.
Living2Teach (11:06:44 PM): wow
Living2Teach (11:06:48 PM): you thnk he will win it
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:56 PM): It depends on voter turnout.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:01 PM): But he definitely has a good shot.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:14 PM): I mean.. if he wins Indiana there is no question that he will win the election, in my opinion
Living2Teach (11:07:20 PM): oh?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:42 PM): I mean, if a state as Red as Indiana can vote Obama that should be indicative for the rest of the nation
Living2Teach (11:07:52 PM): right
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:13:14 PM): We shall see. It's hard to believe it's been two years since this whole process started.
Living2Teach (11:13:26 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:15:26 PM): Seems just like yesterday we were ready for Clinton vs. Guliani
Living2Teach (11:16:35 PM): lol yeah
Living2Teach (11:32:10 PM): brb

Living2Teach (9:43:13 PM): lol that's good
Earthb0undm1sfit (9:43:36 PM): I would like to travel a lot.. but I can't afford it.. haven't been out of the country or on a airplane, haha.

Living2Teach (10:12:49 PM): lol wow
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:13:17 PM): Yep. I go from 1-3:45. Two hour and fifteen minute classes.. One on Greek History and the other on World War 2.

Living2Teach (10:15:33 PM): Thomas Edison
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:15:48 PM): Where's that at?
Living2Teach (10:15:53 PM): New Jersey lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:16:21 PM): Ah, cool. So you went to college in the late 60s, early 70s?
Living2Teach (10:16:30 PM): yes sir
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:16:59 PM): Nice. 1968 is my favorite historical year.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:17:05 PM): Just a FYI for you, haha.
Living2Teach (10:17:15 PM): wow lol
Living2Teach (10:17:20 PM): that's cool
Living2Teach (10:17:26 PM): my freshmen year of college
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:17:45 PM): Yeah. Tet Offensive, assassinations of RFK/JFK, Chicago Dem. Convention, etc. All just really cool stuff.
Living2Teach (10:18:01 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:18:06 PM): middle of the space race
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:18:10 PM): Yep.
Living2Teach (10:18:15 PM): good times
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:18:20 PM): Haha. Do you remember much of it?
Living2Teach (10:18:28 PM): I remember what it was like
Living2Teach (10:18:35 PM): "the soviets are going to invade"
Living2Teach (10:18:39 PM): all that good stuff
Living2Teach (10:18:44 PM): details are a little fuzzy haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:05 PM): Haha. The 70s a little blurry for ya? =P
Living2Teach (10:19:18 PM): lol it all is
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:22 PM): hahaha.
Living2Teach (10:19:25 PM): it's called getting old
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:19:38 PM): Ah, I thought you were inferring drug use, haha.
Living2Teach (10:19:57 PM): oh no lol
Living2Teach (10:20:00 PM): not for me
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:20:09 PM): That's good, probably one of the few exceptions, haha
Living2Teach (10:20:17 PM): oh no kidding lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:21:23 PM): Yeah, haha.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:21:41 PM): So you just decided to start playing now? Do you know how these games work?
Living2Teach (10:21:53 PM): I've watched survivor since it came out
Living2Teach (10:22:07 PM): seems like a great mental game
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:22:22 PM): Yeah. It is. I love competing. I played football and chess in high school.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:22:35 PM): So, whose your favorite contestant?
Living2Teach (10:22:42 PM): dan
Living2Teach (10:22:49 PM): I know but he was a lot like me I think
Living2Teach (10:22:52 PM): well a lot smarter but
Living2Teach (10:23:00 PM): you?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:23:10 PM): Hmm.. I like Greg from Season 1 a lot.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:23:33 PM): He is the one who I can relate to the most I think
Living2Teach (10:24:06 PM): oh really, why is that?
Living2Teach (10:24:12 PM): get the hot chick? haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:24:16 PM): Haha. I wish.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:24:30 PM): Just kinda offbeat humor and values intellectualism.. and somewhat misunderstood.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:25:05 PM): I'm generally a fan of anyone who I think is a good character.. Either good or evil.. if they are entertaining or interesting I like 'em.
Living2Teach (10:26:17 PM): oh
Living2Teach (10:26:21 PM): what did you make of ole fairplay?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:26:51 PM): Entertaining. Kinda a asshole. For being a villain he did not really have a lot of good gameplay.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:06 PM): I mean, I prefer Boston Rob over him as a villain. Or Randy from this season.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:08 PM): How about you?
Living2Teach (10:27:20 PM): I agree with what you think about Jonny
Living2Teach (10:27:31 PM): though I think the most underrated player and villian is Brian
Living2Teach (10:27:32 PM): very slick
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:48 PM): Yeah, he was excellent. Probably one of the best players of all time, if not the best.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:27:55 PM): I also like Chris from Vanuatu and Judd from Guatemala
Living2Teach (10:27:59 PM): most underrated
Living2Teach (10:28:10 PM): Chris really got lucky, and Judd didn't have real great game play
Living2Teach (10:28:13 PM): though very fun to watch
Living2Teach (10:28:21 PM): I kind of like Jean Robert game play wise, he had some good ideas
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:29:09 PM): Yeah, Chris got lucky but he at least at the intuition to just let the girls pick each other off, which a lot of people didn't. Judd didn't have good gameplay but was just hilarious.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:29:20 PM): Jean Robert was good, yeah. Survivor strategy is really interesting to me.
Living2Teach (10:29:25 PM): same here
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:30:16 PM): I've found that a lot of different strategies can win the game, it's just a matter of the circumstances employed in how effective they are.
Living2Teach (10:30:30 PM): agreed
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:31:09 PM): I generally despise under the radar players if that's all they are doing.. just not contributing anything to the game.. but people like Tina and Vecepia played UTR like it's supposed to be.
Living2Teach (10:31:23 PM): yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:33:10 PM): But yeah, if you ever have any questions about how these games work, I'm happy to answer them.
Living2Teach (10:33:20 PM): oh well thank you
Living2Teach (10:33:24 PM): you seem like a very nice young man
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:33:51 PM): You aren't bad yourself, haha.
Living2Teach (10:33:55 PM): lol thanks
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:36:03 PM): We seem to have a whole bunch of active people.. always good, lol. Sometimes you have games where the first three or four boots are people who are inactive.
Living2Teach (10:37:27 PM): lol they seem kind of inactive
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:37:46 PM): Well, I've only really talked to you, but there seems to be a lot of people on AIM at least.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:37:50 PM): Have you talked to anyone else?
Living2Teach (10:38:15 PM): just my tribe really
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:38:42 PM): Yeah, me too. Just you on my tribe actually, haha. What do you think of everyone else?
Living2Teach (10:39:49 PM): lol I'm not on your tribe?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:39:55 PM): You aren't?
Living2Teach (10:40:00 PM): no
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:40:01 PM): Hm. Okay. Haha.
Living2Teach (10:40:05 PM): i don't think
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:40:16 PM): I did not realize you were not, haha.
Living2Teach (10:41:59 PM): lol
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:43:24 PM): Well, how do you like your tribemates anyways?
Living2Teach (10:43:45 PM): good good
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:44:27 PM): Haha. That's good.
Living2Teach (10:45:37 PM): yeah lol
Living2Teach (10:45:38 PM): you?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:45:48 PM): I haven't really talked to them.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:45:50 PM): Probably should get on that.
Living2Teach (10:45:54 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:46:16 PM): Oh well, the immunity challenge isn't until Wednesday.
Living2Teach (10:46:38 PM): lol he just changed it
Living2Teach (10:46:44 PM): thanks for telling me
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:11 PM): Yeah, tommorrow is a big day in American histor.y
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:13 PM): I'm excited.
Living2Teach (10:47:17 PM): me too
Living2Teach (10:47:26 PM): though I do like both of them
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:47:32 PM): Me too.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:48:07 PM): I already voted, for Obama, partially because I like him a bit more and partially because I think Palin as Veep is just absurd.
Living2Teach (10:48:22 PM): oh me too
Living2Teach (10:48:32 PM): though I don't think there is anything wrong with Palin
Living2Teach (10:48:51 PM): I just think it's time to balance the parties out
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:49:44 PM): Yeah, I agree. It's certainly going to be historic if Obama is elected.
Living2Teach (10:49:51 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:49:56 PM): even if palin is VP
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:50:04 PM): Yeah.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:50:18 PM): The thought of her leading the country is kinda terrifying.
Living2Teach (10:50:31 PM): eh
Living2Teach (10:50:36 PM): she has some strong points
Living2Teach (10:50:42 PM): I disagree with her, but she is a strong willed women
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:51:04 PM): Yeah..
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:51:33 PM): Luke Russert, Tim Russert's son, is reporting to the Today Show, MSNBC, etc. from the campus here.. I saw him today interviewing someone.
Living2Teach (10:51:47 PM): oh cool
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:52:05 PM): Yeah, pretty cool.
Living2Teach (10:52:10 PM): yes sir
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:53:14 PM): My friend said he was going to get interview and start spewing Nazi rhetoric for shits and giggles.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:53:23 PM): And see how Luke reacts.
Living2Teach (10:53:38 PM): lmao
Living2Teach (10:53:41 PM): that's funny
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:54:07 PM): "We must expand the nation and gain Lebensraum.. for the growth of our people alone!"
Living2Teach (10:54:18 PM): haha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:55:41 PM): Haha. I'm most likely just going to order pizza and watch the election alone, ocassionally crying, haha.
Living2Teach (10:55:54 PM): why crying?
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:56:07 PM): Haha, I was being sarcastic.
Living2Teach (10:56:14 PM): oh lol
Living2Teach (10:56:17 PM): gotcha
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:57:03 PM): Yeah. Some of these attack ads are just getting kinda brutal though.
Earthb0undm1sfit (10:57:11 PM): With the whole Obama is a terrorist thing going on.
Living2Teach (10:57:50 PM): yeah
Living2Teach (10:57:51 PM): that's bogus
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:01:47 PM): Yeah, iunno. It's going to be fun to watch though
Living2Teach (11:01:56 PM): yes sir it is
Living2Teach (11:02:29 PM): you had sort of an important vote hih?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:02:40 PM): Hmm?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:04:21 PM): Oops, got knocked off. If you told me anything you are going to have to repeat it lol
Living2Teach (11:04:36 PM): you had sort of an important vote huh?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:17 PM): What do you mean?
Living2Teach (11:05:45 PM): indiana is such a key state
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:55 PM): Yeah,.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:05:59 PM): It hasn't gone blue since 1964
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:08 PM): So, if Obama captures it will be pretty amazing
Living2Teach (11:06:13 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:31 PM): It's interesting, there's a phenomena occuring where even Southern Indiana racists are voting for Obama because of anti-Palinism or the deal with the economy.
Living2Teach (11:06:44 PM): wow
Living2Teach (11:06:48 PM): you thnk he will win it
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:06:56 PM): It depends on voter turnout.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:01 PM): But he definitely has a good shot.
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:14 PM): I mean.. if he wins Indiana there is no question that he will win the election, in my opinion
Living2Teach (11:07:20 PM): oh?
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:07:42 PM): I mean, if a state as Red as Indiana can vote Obama that should be indicative for the rest of the nation
Living2Teach (11:07:52 PM): right
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:13:14 PM): We shall see. It's hard to believe it's been two years since this whole process started.
Living2Teach (11:13:26 PM): lol yeah
Earthb0undm1sfit (11:15:26 PM): Seems just like yesterday we were ready for Clinton vs. Guliani
Living2Teach (11:16:35 PM): lol yeah
Living2Teach (11:32:10 PM): brb
