I've always contended that those that call out "Broward & Palm Beach" fans won't come to the new park, so its gloom and doom. Hellllllllooooooooooooooo those people aren't coming now anyways, :banghead and when you put the stadium 20 miles closer to people in Kendall, Cutler Ridge, Perrine and Homestead, they will easily supplant the Broward & Palm Beach numbers, and add more. Screw them up there. They had their chance and blew it by not going to Marlins games. It seems the Panthers (who only had success while in downtown Miami BTW) moved to West Broward, you never hear about how they have "abandoned their fan base", those of us in Miami-Dade who went to the games. Its tit-4-tat. Broward can have the Panthers, I'd rather have the Marlins anyday. :thumbup Is that right?? 3 or 4 years AFTER the new pond is in place, when the new stadium smell has worn off, then what will be the new and improved excuses for the low attendance?? Start compiling a list now. You are going to need it. As usual you try your best to subvert the real point in my post. That is the people in Broward & Palm Beach counties have failed to attend the games in great numbers, when the stadium is closer to them. The fact if the attendace does or doesn't go up when the new stadium is built will then be on Miami-Dade citizens, but it won't change the fact that the Broward & PB folks didn't go to the games when they had the chance, and shouldn't b*tch about the stadium being built further south. Its their own damn fault. :whistle Out of curiosity, how do you know which parts of South Florida fans are coming to games from "in great numbers"?

Ha, Zvyagintsev didn't have his script finished until the week before his segment was scheduled to be shot. We had to secure locations for his bit only two days in advance. I did a lot of walking around Long Island City (Queens) in those two days.

I did fairly well in college, but I don't think I learned anything that useful in my classes. Looking back, I wish I had paid more attention in the gen ed classes I took just so I could have more knowledge about random things. My degree is in telecommunications, which I only majored in because it was the closest thing UF had to a film program, and I minored in English. That stuff isn't helping me out much right now. College is definitely "worth it" though in the sense that it's a buffer zone between childhood and the real world. I learned to live on my own, make adult friendships and make connections. Plus, the debauchery. Man, I miss college.

Currently I'm working freelance in film. Work isn't too steady right now. March through May, I worked in the locations department for the film "New York, I Love You" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0808399/ Before that I worked on a much smaller independent film as the boom operator/sound mixer. Since then I've worked a few short gigs as a production assistant. One of those gigs might lead to a full time job as a Final Cut Pro video editor at Grandparents.com, a website that targets, you guessed it, grandparents. If that works out, I'll get to go work as a PA for a shoot on an Alaskan cruise in August.

Man, that was awesome.

Seriously, what a play by Cantu. Game over if not for that play. Jesus. Gregg can go to hell.

I was chopping off my body parts during that last inning. holy damn god Now I can't walk.

My friend took some pics. If I get them in a timely manner, I will post them.

Great game, I was there tonight and it was a blast.

I was at the game tonight. Most of the Mets fans were very pleasant. It was surprisingly easy for two of my Marlins friends and I to rival the Let's Go Mets chants with our own Let's Go Marlins chants. In fact, in our section, the Mets chants didn't even occur unless we first started with the Marlins chants.

Life is just a series of peaks and troughs. And you don't know whether you're in a trough until you're climbing out, or on a peak until you're coming down. And that's it, you know, you never know what's round the corner. But it's all good, you know. "If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain." Do you know which "philosopher" said that? Dolly Parton! And people say she's just a big pair of tits. -David Brent, The Office

Anthony Minghella died today.

Cantu is on fire.

Also that.

I'm getting a headache watching this extremely shaky camera.

The best part is that its dedicated to Norman Mailer.

I have met comedians David Cross, Aziz Ansari, and Eugene Mirman. Also, I passed Michael Emerson (Ben from Lost) on the street and said hello to him.

Agreed, I liked the pilot very much. Cranston is awesome.

macro english 2 chinese 2 fin. accounting edit: let me ask you guys something. I took many ap courses in highschool, and fsu accepted all of them, so I came in with 21 credits. I can graduate in about 2 and a half more years if i take 4 classes a semester. Would graduating early be a mistake that I would regret? Don't graduate early. You have the rest of your life to work. You will never be a young college student ever again.

This was miserable.

Happy New Year to all. I was in Times Square for the event last night, it's my 10th year present at it in a row. Has anyone else here ever attended it? Was nearby at Radio City Music Hall til 2am. Then I ended up at a bar in the East 70s until 4am. After a lengthy quest to find food and a couple of long waits for the subway, I didn't make it home until almost 7am. Happy New Year all. I have a feeling '08 is going to be big for me.

As far as agnosticism and atheism is concerned, the way people who fall into these categories have always explained it to me is this way: atheists fully believe there is no God, while agnostics just say they don't know either way. So I guess agnosticism would be the none of the above answer under my definition. As I said before, theism/atheism and agnosticism are not mutually exclusive. You can be an atheist AND an agnostic (or a theist AND an agnostic), but you can't be an agnostic OR an [a]theist. That's because agnosticism deals with a different issue than [a]theism does. Agnosticism deals with knowledge (people who claim to be agnostics claim that it is impossible to *know* whether there or not is a god, but that has nothing to do with *belief* which is what [a]theism deals with). If you claim to be an agnostic, answer this question: Do you *believe* there is a god? (not "do you *know* if there is a god"). In order to be a theist, you have to be able to say yes. If you say no, you are an atheist. If you say I don't know, you are also an atheist, because you are unable to say yes, which is the requirement to being a theist. There is a misconception that agnosticism is a middle ground between theism and atheism, but when you get down to it, that isn't the case. You're either a theist (someone who believes there is a god), an agnostic theist (someone who believes there is a god but admits there is a possibility that there isn't), an atheist (someone who believes there is no god), or an agnostic atheist (someone who believes there is no god but admits there is a possibility that there is). There are also subcategories of atheism (strong vs weak, aka: believing there is no god vs not holding a belief in a god), but that can easily be applied to the aforementioned (strong= atheism, weak= agnostic atheism). In most cases, people who call themselves an agnostic seem to fall within the agnostic atheist category rather than the agnostic theist category. I know this isn't the way that these terms are commonly used today, but this is how I think they make the most sense and how I think the term agnosticism, which wasn't invented until the second half of the 19th century, was intended to be used.
