The fun didn't start happening till Christmas Eve. I secretly found out what one of my gifts was, and I freaked out, they were my new pair of Hyperdunks that i've been waiting for a long long time. They are by far the best basketball shoes i've ever worn. I also won a $100 dollar gift card to Tanger Oulets in Park City so I went up to the Nike factory store and spent all of it up there, this was by far the best christmas i've ever had in my life, and the New Year didn't dissapoint either I hung out with friends I haven't seen for a long time.

Churchball is coming up this Thursday and my team is going all the way this year, we got shut out of the regionals last time but this time we're taking it all the way

Wow, learning how to communicate with animals in the future! that's just giving me more hope to a bleak looking future

H-Y-P-E-R-D-U-N-K-S... that's my big wish thing, it probably won't happen for another 6 months

That guy from the second tedtalk seemed really eccentric. He really awakened a lot of peoples' mind up to the dangers of how Africa does not have the help it needs.

WHY are we living with heart diseases!? it is completely reversible and preventable, the numero uno cause of death can be reversible. That is ridiculous.

The play's poster is really cool, I can't wait to actually do the play and get it out of the way. The play could be really, really, really cool if we all just payed attention to what we are freakin doing all the time.

The first World AIDS day was on December 1, 1988. We had little to celebrate…

The number of reported AIDS cases in the United States was nearing 80,000 and rising rapidly. Thousands more in this country were living with HIV. Globally, AIDS cases already had been reported from more than 135 countries. An AIDS tsunami clearly was looming, but we had few defenses at our disposal.

For those of us caring for people with AIDS, it was a dark time. We had just one anti-HIV medicine in our pharmacies, AZT, a drug that the virus rapidly defeated by mutating and developing resistance. Lacking other medicines to slow the relentless replication of HIV and its destruction of a person's immune system, we did our best to help our patients by managing to the extent possible their AIDS-related infections and complications. But the life span of most of the patients was measured in months.

Two decades later, much has changed. An unprecedented research effort has led to more than two dozen anti-HIV drugs, more than for all other viral diseases combined. Taken in proper combinations, these medications have dramatically improved the prognosis for people living with HIV by increasing their life span by at least a decade and providing the possibility of a normal life span with continued therapy.

Scientifically proven prevention approaches -- education and outreach to at-risk populations, voluntary HIV testing and counseling, condom distribution, prevention of HIV transmission from mother to baby, harm reduction approaches for drug abusers, mass-media campaigns and the screening of donated blood -- have been deployed with great success in the United States and many other countries.

Innovative programs such as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief and the Global Fund for HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, as well as the efforts of nongovernment organizations, have reached millions of people in low- and mid-income countries worldwide with HIV-related services, at a scale unimaginable a few years ago. And gradually -- but too slowly -- we have begun addressing AIDS-related stigma in this country and abroad.

THE Segway PT X is the most amazing thing in the world RIGHT NOW. How are we not utilizing this technology to the fullest of our extent? We need the government's help with this, they have to approve mass production and get rid of cars.

Yesterday I wasn't here for the livejournal so now I have to do two. Ry has basketball tryouts today and he stole my frickin shoes and my ball. I told him he could use my shoes yesterday but then he just twisted his own words and said that i said he could use my shoes for the whole week.

It came down to the wire for the science dissections but i took care of it. it's nice to know that i did something that i have never had the GUTS to do before. Sure i didn't do much of the dissections, but i got through with only throwing up my breakfast twice.... that's an accomplishment.

Just because I wear Nike doesn't mean I listen to rap music! I don't like rap much at all, but I see where they're coming from, it's gonna be a great audio doc. I wish I still had my iPod so I could record stuff, that would be so fun. I would have mine done by now, I hate how i'm so irresponsible.

I really don't like doing the scale drawing of the set designs for Eldon. I'm really not that kind of guy who does that kind of stuff. But whatever, I think I am done for today... GOOD HUNTING
