I've been playing a lot of online chess recently at www.RedHotPawn.Com (Blademaster777, sign up for free and challenge me!)
In the last week I have raised my rating by nearly 100 points, playing the game in then nearly-clinical fashion that I am capable of doing sometimes. It's the first time I've broken back through the 1000 rating since I got back into playing regularly last year.
Coffee as we know it kicked off in Arabia, where roasted beans were first brewed around A.D. 1000. By the 13th century Muslims were drinking coffee religiously. The “bean broth” drove dervishes into orbit, kept worshippers awake, and splashed over into secular life. And wherever Islam went, coffee went too: North Africa (map), the eastern Mediterranean, and India (map).
Arabia made export beans infertile by parching or boiling, and it is said that no coffee seed sprouted outside Africa or Arabia until the 1600s—until Baba Budan. As tradition has it, this Indian pilgrim-cum-smuggler left Mecca with fertile seeds strapped to his belly. Baba’s beans bore fruit and initiated an agricultural expansion that would soon reach Europe’s colonies...
Finally, I've actually published 1,000 entries here on MindSay.
So, without further ado, I give you...
EPISODE 1? OF THE ARMY BOY CHRONICLES
I hope you enjoy. I don't want to drag out this entry or anything, and I'm not lobbying for votes (though it'd be super nice that you vote if you like the movie), so woo woo, 1000th entry, go me, and all that jazz.
Ummm... feel free to leave me any comments whatsoever about the movie.
Here are some credits that we left off of the movie:
Location: my house Forest location: my old room Dog: Bob Cat: Kitty Guns: Supplied my Nerf Cigarette: Not really a cigarette. Cigar: What I wish I could've found... I know I have one somewhere in this house... Army Boy: Alex Majors Cameraman, cinematographer, director, producer, editor, and writer: Tommy Schwendler
Well this day has sucked, I mean really sucked. And first off I don't think I did so well on the Math exam.
Well it started this morning when Cody told me he might go to Kings Island with Dennis which is fine with me its his best friend. But then he metions Megan and Sara are going to. Just the thought of 2 girls and them going, it really bugs me plus there all really good friends I mean really good. Cody use to have the hugest crush on Sara last year. I woundn't really mind them if they weren't so pretty, I mean pretty and skinny, skinny how I want to be. It seem everytime Cody's around them with me he pays more attenion to them then me and I'm really not there. I don't know if I'm really jealous or parinold. But they make me sick they seem so perfect, even though Cody says I'm the only one he can ever love and the most perfect thing ever-lol, I just feel like I'm nothing when there around like Sara is the one he wants to see and talk to.
Plus theres another thing I told Cody I want to do something different go places this summer, it seems like thats not going to happen. He's taking Dennis. Let me name some places hes going to. Kings Island, baseball...maybe I'm not sure what sport but that game, white water rafting, A huge put-putt place (which I love to go to), I'm thinking he said a water park, bowling, and about 3 or 4 other places I can't think of them. It bugs me that hes going to all these places and I can't go to one because we have no money. And why we don't have money is because someone took $1,000 out of our bank account and were so behind, we have no more tv, little food only when my dad gets payed every other week, behind on all the bills over 100 dollars on each, I have no summer clothers I need to buy some still.
But idk what to do anymore, my life is hell sometimes.
