English books these days

Part of my assignment for my English summer work, I had to read the book 25 Great Essays, which essentially is a book of 25 essays. Today, I was reading through one of the essays "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift and it was one of the grossest things I have ever had to read for an english class. Basically, it took a satirical approach on famine and overpopulation in Ireland, suggesting cannibalism as a solution to lower the population and provide more food. He proposed killing kids when they turn one and eating them, using the skin for gloves and boots. Like what kind of school book is this! I almost puked, and did not want to eat dinner. And the worst part is, i had to write a page and a half on it.

If you want the full essay you can find it in four sections here, otherwise, here is the basic jist of it, with the gross quotes :s:
http://pd.sparknotes.com/lit/modestproposal/section1.html

"I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust."

"That the remaining hundred thousand may, at a year old, be offered in sale to the persons of quality and fortune, through the kingdom, always advising the mother to let them suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump, and fat for a good table. A child will make two dishes at an entertainment for friends, and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt, will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter."

"Infant's flesh will be in season throughout the year, but more plentiful in March, and a little before and after"

"I believe no gentleman would repine to give ten shillings for the carcass of a good fat child, which, as I have said, will make four dishes of excellent nutritive meat, when he hath only some particular friend, or his own family to dine with him."

"Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flea the carcass; the skin of which, artificially dressed, will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen."

"I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavouring to promote this necessary work, having no other motive than the publick good of my country, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure to the rich. "

My old favorite song is playing on the radio!!!!

I forgot the name, but "we gonna run this town tonight". Jay-z and Rihanna are in it, and yea. I used to love it, and they stopped playing it. But it was just on so now I'm happy :D

I think the name is actually "we gunna run this town tonight". I love it, I used to listen to it at 1 am when doing homework last year, and it brings back memories of school which will start in a little over a week! Oh no, that means I have to finish my english assignment. I have only typed 20 out of the 32 pages I need done, I better get working lol.

So yea, it's funny how a came to blog about this song being on the radio, and it ended up talking about school. Oh well.

Here is the song by the way:

Glad to be on board!!

Drama Makes Dawn Sad and Stuff.

Okay, so.. I haven't posted in forever, so here I am, and its about the drama, and what I think about it. First off, yeah I know I'm not appart of it, and I'm not trying to be, but maybe its getting a bit out of hand.. well in my opinion. I kinda wish things could be like all peaceful and whatnot, but yeah, drama always stirrs around, I guess.
Well, we wouldn't be where we are without the drama. It brings friends closer. Heh. I don't know what to feel about this. P:

What do you guys think about it? How does it make you feel? XD


I sound like a therapist.

Rant of sorts

Hi, so uh we all know about the arguement going around. I have some stuff to say. First, just because you aren't a "teenager" doesn't mean you are automatically "mature" Believe me, some of the older simmers here, they..they act like freaking BABIES. Really, all you have to do in your freetime is talk crap about teenagers? Nice example you are setting. Then you blame us, for our language. Why don't you act more mature, and stop with all your swearing and bad language. You know, there are younger simmers who shouldn't be reading all that stuff. Why do you use such language with us if you think we are "kiddies" Surely you don't use that around RL children? And second, what happened to your spelling and grammar? Seriously.

I think you all need a new hobby. Oh, and you may think WE are the ones talking behind your backs, but look again. If you really want the drama to end, you'll just end this whole thing, and the adult thing to do is forgive and forget, try it sometime.

OMG this guy is amazing!!!

I was searching youtube when I came across this guy, who covers songs, and he is absoultely AMAZING! He sounds just like the original singers, and adds his own twist.

This one is my favorite!

... whatevs

Let me just say that I could care less what a stupid, yet sometimes funny, internet blog (themaresnest) has to say about me, let them bash me all they want, and I wouldn't give a shit, but I just had to make a few things clear.

I did not have any intention, what so ever in having someone else blamed for this childish prank. I did not know that insufficiency and bree had any issues, and I most definetely did not want to throw someone under the bus, I am not that kind of person.

If, I was that cruel and uncaring, as to let someone else take the blame for my actions, then I would not have admitted to bree that it was indeed myself who was the poster. If you look over the posts I had posted, I posted nothing threatening, harmful, sexual, or bad to the slightest degree, just a bunch of those smiley face things, saying how I believed she got a little to sexual on the forums. The point in which I am referring to is a conversation bree and maxismatt had that made a few people uncomfortable due to its nature, something along the lines of them woohooing in cars and bedrooms and getting a little dirty.

Having said that, I posted that one night, and when it was apparent that they were truly annoyed, though that was not my intention, I immediately stopped and did n0t go back. It was not until after reading tmn post about it being insufficiency that I decided to go back to clear a few things up. That is when I posted about tmn being wrong, hoping that bree would comment on it so I could make her clear that it was not insufficiency, because I did not want him being blamed for my actions. When bree did not believe me, it is then that I went to send her a message because I did not want her to feel unsafe, which I do not think would have occurred if tmn hadn't made a post implying that insufficiency was stalking her. So, I owned up to my mistake, in order to clear an innocent persons name.

Tmn goes around posting like they know everything about everyone, but they don't. They assume they know who everyone is and there intentions, but they don't. They assume they can bash people, and call someone out as a pedo, but they don't have that right.

And by the way, I have never spammed a single chat box, just to point that out. And keep all of the "happehsaucesimmers" out of this mess, they had nothing to do with it, and they don't want the drama. Stay out of it, mind your own business, and let them be the close friends they are.

And what I did, does not match up to any measure as to what zachemc has said about keleya. I made no sexual comments or harmful!! When are you going to get over yourself and realize that. Zachemc went sexual and all, I did not

I just had to clear up that I did not post that for someone else to take the blame. Hate me, curse at me, wish me dead, I don't care because it is the stupid internet and I could careless about what people on the internet think about me. I have enough friends in real life and enough going for me, that I do not need the approval of people over the internet to feel satisfied.

that's all

Sorry TMN, but no world record here

I'm sorry to say that the Prize Machine no longer goes down in the forum game world history. If you look on page 5, I might have made the slightest hint towards duct tape O.O. I'm sorry, but duct tape does fix everything.

I guess this thread doesn't go down as a world record anymore.

Here's the post, you can find it on page 5

Funny Video

This made me laugh, hopefully it will make you laugh too

Two bans, one day

Both Dawn and I have been banned today. I don't have dawn's email but here is mine

It was supposed to be humorous but I guess I forgot EA's total lack of humor!!

I'm not sure if I will be back much after this, just a heads up. This was my last week before soccer preseason where we have practice 4 hours a day and I still have 25 mini essays to do before school starts in September. So this might be a goodbye, not sure though because I might be able to find time at night and things

But if I'm not around much more, it's cause I now have a life now that summer is almost over

If anyone wants to email me you can do so here : rayy_13@yahoo.com

New sim

Does anyone like him, or have any comments? I'm not sure if I am going to upload him yet.

It was not until after I made this sim that I realized that this sim looks exactly how I pictured the main character in one of the books I have to read for english. I don't know if anyone has read East of Eden, but this is how I pictured Adam Trask looking. I am now officially more of a nerd than i have ever wanted to be. I did this self conciously :/

Two Pictures

I've been really bored lately and have been trying to think of things to do in gimp but haven't gotten any really good ideas, but I did make these two pictures. And because this blog needs to be updated more often, I decided to share them.

I saw this pose and thought it was kind of funny and couldn't think of anything else to do with it so being the soccer player that I am, I had to put her in a soccer goal despite the fact that she is so not dressed for the occasion.

A few weeks ago I was experimenting with creating .gif's and so I decided to put one of the .gif's on an ipod screen so it is like a video. However, this ended up being a much more difficult task than expected because you can not move the .gif as a whole, which means I had to move each of the 30 or so layers indivually, which makes it look a little messier because I am impatient and did not line them all up perfectly.

Please

Please make zach happy and go here...... i don't know what to say he is desperate

Just go here to make him happy

I'm back!

I'm back from my week or so vacation! It feels good to finally be home from a house full of 18 people. Though it was fun, it was tiring and difficult to find space alone. But I'm finally back, and glad to be!

So how has everyone been
