My Life

I got into typing a biography. I was inspired by Zak's writeup of the inspirational buildup of BFFK (refer to jangoonow.googlepages.com and click on affiliates). I started it back a while ago, but I only started to get comprehensive
I even put words to describe this decade: A trying time that shows the whole range of humanity. Yes, I give a cheery view for the next decade. But year by year, I recall events good and bad.

Building Tall

Check my facts, but America maintained the homeland of the world's tallest building from the turn of the last century up until 1998. It's time to bring it back. With what the oil money are doing in Dubai makes formidable competition- breaking 2K feet isn't good enough- I think the next building will be 1/2 a mile tall (2640 ft). At least Chicago is building her Spire. But I do believe that a new city should get the honor. On my behest, the JangooCorp will need a new home. What about the capital city, DC? By law, height is width of adjacent street plus 20', not exceeding the height of the capitol. That's only like 28 floors. By permission, recess from the curb can be added height, as the National Cathedral. By FAA request, Rosslyn is restricted to 490 feet above sea level, anything taller gets in the way of planes trying to land at National. Bethesda? Silver Spring? Crystal City? Wherever the land prices are high is where the Corporation wants to build a tower. Completion date- approx. 2035

Midsummer's Night Usual

I brought my notebook to work, as usual, but, the second thinking to write a long story for JangooMag about the last few months. But I didn't. I played more UNO, and won the matches we played.

After work, a bike ride to the airport ensued. Watching planes land barely 60 or so feet overhead, I wondered how bad it was for one's health, to watch planes like that. After all, airplanes do pollute a lot- rather, concentrate the exhaust for all those passengers in 2 or 4 engines.

And Tennis. The end of another summer day.

A new chapter

Yesterday tends not to be a day worthy of a blog post. But- blogging was on my mind yesterday as I swapped between Facebook, gmail, and Blogger as I e-sent the Jangoomag, as well as the new PDF version- get the picture!

Today is July 3, tomorrow is that big day. After work (whence we wrote model resumes), I gave my swimsuit a chlorine bath (in the pool- I could have used a household cleaning product to do the chlorine scent trick), and that was it, until the Ballston Safeway shopping trip. So that sums up the first part of the summer break.

Seemingly fitting, I finished the Cold War novel today- on to Hell's Angels.
Part two- the ambitious teen-millionaire striver.

Week 3- Really?

Monday, Week 3 of "work".
Weekday One of the new 30-series metrobus schedule.
It looked pretty good heading uphill to Tenleytown. Buses popping up at regular intervals, and the 37! Wow! Limited service downtown for the taking. The naturals of bus bunching and the punctuality of the new routes made the scheduling work, contrary to what I thought would happen, on account of treating the 31 as a separate line from the 32 and 36. Home, and Little Brother did his best- 14 years on play mode on Locomotion. Pool late in the evening after the storms, and home again, contemplating on the new square-shaped gallon milk jugs that Sam's Club now makes.
We're finalizing Jangoomag July. Look online soon!

Haiku Today

I have a Haiku contest to excel in tomorrow. So that's that.

If I had more time, I would type some of my dysfunctional haiku right here-but that'll have to wait a few days until I post them onto the Jangoo Haiku Page (www.freewebs.com/haikuissocool)

As a point, I have a list of websites to create, such as I Love Latin, West End, way to travel, etc, etc, AND the Jangoo Videos page (liks to our favorite youtube tethered to the main Jangoo page. Centralization is the key, NOT like AOL, who is decentralizing and disintegrating. If the current parabolic equations of both companies, AOL and Jangoo occur, we can estimate that Jangoo will receive more new market share than AOL by the year 2013 or '14. Neat? Let's see it happen!

Mission Accomplished

Safeway at Watergates
Starburst, base price $.90, up from $.80 last week
Store-brand yogurt, base price $.60, up from $.50 last week

and
So...if Jangoo staff don't get up to the 34th street Safeway (where prices are noticeably lower), Jangoo soon won't be able to afford the $.75 fair sales price, which I suppose has been standard for at least the past 10 years, and probably for much longer, and that makes me sad.

Delli-can-drive countdown: 12 days

PS: Call me what you want, but I'm not a candy seller, at least I don't think.

Yippee!

It's my first free* day that will be followed by another weekday free day. I tried to not waste this precious day, but in my mind it started early. My circadian rhythm was "traumatized" like jet lag from being jarred awake at 6 am, which my body refuses to do, mostly. I probably woke up at about 6am, but by 6:30 I didn't feel like staying in bed. So I got up, had breakfast, showered, and headed out to a mission. First, at 9:13 am I caught two buses (D5 and L2) to T street to drop off a package, en route to Tenleytown (92 to walk across Duke Ellington Bridge to Red Line north) to purchase a music book on Store credit. At the 400-something foot summit, I headed down to sea level. (N2 to 32, needlessly) BTW, 6 times $1.35 equals $8.10, not $7.10. I guess it's hard to do math while driving a bus. Eventually, I made it home by 10:38 am. I tried so hard to not let my life go to waste in front of the computer screen, and I partially made it. I practiced the violin for two whole hours, not straight though, as I got distracted from my internet play-along, and started watching random YouTube videos. Now here am I and I have a violin lesson at AU at 7:00.

Thinking about it

People have taken regained interest in the Jangoonow website as an order form. I actually just finished polishing updates, and encourage you to look in the near future. Please do note that I will restock on candy over the looming vacation. The website is harder to maintain than the blog because of time restrictions on many nights, but over the break and vacation I have plenty of time for updates.

A little different afternoon today- there was a special presentation by the debate team about hot political topics, and education. Was interesting, better than intramurals with basketball, on account of really tall tenth graders. Tennis today, my legs are a little tired from the two laps around the facilities. Not much else, except a weekend of studying for two quizzes, English and History, as well as online Bio Cards (they make up one whole letter grade for my pending bad score on the hell-test (Satan True-False, yes-no-maybe so matching, and several roadblock no solution-not the letter E- multiple choice answers), and math. Keeping my thoughts straight.

Money News- buy new stock in bankrupt companies. There is a near- certain chance that its value will rise quickly.* (Reference: Washington Group)

Chinatown

Today I went to the Flushing Chinatown. I got some more products for my online store as well as a punchlist of items to include on a short doc(umentary.) Look for more on that later!

Of Late

Jangoo introduces a new Ad service. If you let us put a standard ad on your website we will pay you upwards of 15 cents.

Jangoo also introduces a CCTV style news system for its news and the Tuck Shop. Postings to come soon staring Atticus and Augustus Sawatzki, and Massimo Pellegrini as cameraman.

I did not abandon!

Sorry. Easter was too time-consuming.
Jangoo did a profit review. The result was good at $6.00 plus $11.00 uncollected. Buy on, investors!

I just got breaking news: Oh how I wish I had an airplane to investigate this atrocity! Hate Crime killing spree against stunned German speaking students occur by a mentally disturbed Mongolian! 35 dead, blood spewed on streets. If you can, I think it would help to give them a prayer and visit V-Tech to support the community. PS There is an airfield with a sufficient runway to land a 33-seater plane.
