Sitting at my desk typing.  Stopping.  Getting up, walking towards the door.  Turn towards rest of the office and let out a subtle, yet dramatic, sigh.  Leave.

When people begin to complain, tell them, "Well, if you don't like it, maybe I should just leave and never come back."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Run up to most annoying coworker.  Kick her in the shin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Start screaming "That's it!  You people are all so stupid and I'm losing respect for myself by being in your presence.  I mean, you're all hicks!"  Smile, laugh.  Give everyone sports related key chains to remember me by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Show up to work in nothing but tighty whities.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;EM&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Here's a convoluted film I made with my buddies for the 48 Hour Film Festival.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;And yes, if you pause it at just the right time, you &lt;EM&gt;can&lt;/EM&gt; see my ass.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy.&lt;/P&gt;

True Hollywood Story&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Lies.&amp;nbsp; Lies!&amp;nbsp; Everywhere lies!!&amp;nbsp; I have never, in all my years, seen such shoddy research and&amp;nbsp;lazy fact checking.&amp;nbsp; For shame, E!, for shame.&amp;nbsp; Even the title of the show, &lt;EM&gt;Carson Mills:&amp;nbsp; The Rise &amp;amp; Fall of The World's Most Famous Transsexual&lt;/EM&gt;, is inaccurate.&amp;nbsp; I was never &lt;EM&gt;that&lt;/EM&gt; famous.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oh sure, the three hour documentary may not have skimped on many details, but they should have.&amp;nbsp; The entire thing was a giant fallacy.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I was misquoted, taken out of context and unfairly portrayed as&amp;nbsp;baby eating, neo-Nazi (literally -&amp;nbsp;that re-enactment was completely inconsistent with reality).&amp;nbsp; So instead of making a general denial of the many charges against me, I'm going to respond to each lie:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;Yes, I did spend time in the Betty Ford treatment center.&amp;nbsp; But it was not for a peyote addiction like the show indicated.&amp;nbsp; It was for a crystal meth-laced pemmican addiction. 
&lt;LI&gt;I have never met, nor do I intend to meet Andy Dick.&amp;nbsp; I do not know why he was used as the show's primary interview source. 
&lt;LI&gt;I have, in fact, paid off my debts to Corey Feldman. 
&lt;LI&gt;I was not kicked out of the Black Pack (like the Rat Pack, Brat Pack, Frat Pack etc.&amp;nbsp; except black) because of the color of my skin.&amp;nbsp; I left on my own accord after a disagreement I had with fellow group members Malcom-Jamal Warner, Ernie Hudson and Delroy Lindo. 
&lt;LI&gt;My brief, but tumultuous marriage to Natalie from &lt;EM&gt;Facts of Life&lt;/EM&gt; ended in four months, not three.&amp;nbsp; Also, my drug addiction was not the reason for the split.&amp;nbsp; It was my love of cockfighting.&amp;nbsp; We remain friends/lovers to this day. 
&lt;LI&gt;I &lt;EM&gt;can &lt;/EM&gt;read.&amp;nbsp; A bit. 
&lt;LI&gt;I am not an ordained&amp;nbsp;B'hai minister.&amp;nbsp; Not yet, anyways.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;LI&gt;The gerbil rumors are not entirely true. 
&lt;LI&gt;My brief, but tumultuous marriage to Tatum O'Neal ended in two months, not one.&amp;nbsp; Also, my love of cockfighting was not the reason for the split.&amp;nbsp; It was because I had devoted too much of my time to my fellow Free Masons.&amp;nbsp; We remain friends/lovers to this day.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;LI&gt;I am not now, nor have I ever been a member of the Communist party.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;LI&gt;I have only had minor plastic surgery done on my&amp;nbsp;nose, eyes, lips, cheeks,&amp;nbsp;thighs, ass, stomach, neck, asshole, calves and pecs. 
&lt;LI&gt;I &lt;EM&gt;have&lt;/EM&gt; considered getting my nipples surgically removed, but I eventually opted&amp;nbsp;against&amp;nbsp;it out of fear of suffocation.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;LI&gt;I do not surgically bleach my skin.&amp;nbsp; It's a rare and natural condition. 
&lt;LI&gt;My short-lived sitcom &lt;EM&gt;Killin' Time with Carson and his Posse&lt;/EM&gt; was canceled due to poor ratings, not because of so-called "subliminal anti-apartheid messages." 
&lt;LI&gt;My failed bid at the Presidency was not due to my extremist right-wing views, it was because the left wing media spins the public and controls their thoughts by labeling every person who is pro-"homeless executions" and anti-"colored rights" as a "wing-nut" or a "hate-filled wackjob"...also my crippling addiction to oxy cotton may have hindered my ability to speak clearly in a few of my debates. 
&lt;LI&gt;I did not sell my poop on eBay for $100 so I could feed my debilitating addiction to McFlurries.&amp;nbsp; They were Wendy's Frosties, which are much better. 
&lt;LI&gt;I am legally obligated to tell you that I am &lt;EM&gt;not&lt;/EM&gt; a licensed gynecologist.&amp;nbsp; Sorry for the inconvenience.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;LI&gt;My brief, but tumultuous marriage&amp;nbsp;to Charo ended in&amp;nbsp;3 weeks, not one.&amp;nbsp; Also, my affair with&amp;nbsp;Grace Jones&amp;nbsp;was not the reason for the split.&amp;nbsp; It was because of my affair with Whoopi Goldberg.&amp;nbsp; All three of us remain friends/lovers to this day. 
&lt;LI&gt;I do not have hair plugs.&amp;nbsp; I swear. 
&lt;LI&gt;I did not give the Dalai Lama a 'Titty Twister." 
&lt;LI&gt;My directorial debut, &lt;EM&gt;Roots 2000&lt;/EM&gt;, wasn't a failure because "the remake's hip-hop update was viewed as tasteless&amp;nbsp;by the general viewing public."&amp;nbsp; It was failed because I shouldn't have made LeVar Burton wear his &lt;EM&gt;Star Trek: The Next Generation&lt;/EM&gt; uniform. 
&lt;LI&gt;My brief, but tumultuous marriage to LeVar Burton ended in five days, not three.&amp;nbsp; Also, my tendency to wear a Nixon mask during foreplay was not the reason for the split.&amp;nbsp; It was because of my tendency to make LeVar wear his &lt;EM&gt;Star Trek:&amp;nbsp; The Next Generation&lt;/EM&gt; uniform during foreplay.&amp;nbsp; We remain friends/lovers to this day.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Please do not judge me based on the lies and conjecture of &lt;EM&gt;The E! True Hollywood Story&lt;/EM&gt;.&amp;nbsp; If you come straight to the source you will realize that my life is not so weird.&amp;nbsp; Don't let the media bring good people like myself down.&amp;nbsp; In many ways, I am just like you commoners.&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://carsonmills.xanga.com/511862229/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, July 11, 2006</title><link>http://carsonmills.xanga.com/507100718/item/</link><guid>http://carsonmills.xanga.com/507100718/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 11 Jul 2006 15:14:42 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;A href="http://www.xanga.com/CarsonCMills" target="_new"&gt;http://www.xanga.com/CarsonCMills&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P align=left&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;Oh boy, do I love to read.&amp;nbsp; Books are the greatest.&amp;nbsp; If you don't believe me...well, you can just go die.&amp;nbsp; And when you're dying (probably in some gutter) there I will be, standing over you, whipping books (hard cover) at your many sores and lesions.&amp;nbsp; Don't you regret not believing me that books are the greatest?&amp;nbsp; Shouldn't have been watching all that "TV" (that's what you call it right, "TV"?) or "motion pictures."&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;I have read so many books.&amp;nbsp; Probably more than Einstein, who I once read was a rampant homsexual.&amp;nbsp; He died choking on his own genitals.&amp;nbsp; It's true.&amp;nbsp; It's in a book.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=left&gt;Here are some of my favorite (fave) books (or as I like to call tham "friends").&amp;nbsp; Be prepared to feel shame:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Chicken Soup for the Soul, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup for the Vegan Soul, Chicken Soup for the Hermaphrodite Soul, icheCkn oupS orf teh lysDecix uSol, Chicken Soup for the Rubber Soul, 7 Habits of Highly Successful People, 4 Habits of Marginally Successful People, 134 Habits of Unsuccessful People, The Purpose Driven Life, 7 Habits of Highly Successful Purpose Driven Lives, The Purpose Driven Life for Kids, The Purpose Driven Life for Blacks, The Purpose Driven Life for Jews, The Prayer of Jabez, Get Rich or Die Trying: The Story of Jabez, The Prayer of Jabez 2: Keep Praying, Dammit!&amp;nbsp; The DaVinci Code.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;I built a time machine!&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Don’t ask me how.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Just know that I’ll have to start buying Pam in bulk.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Pam and plutonium (looks like it’s going to be another Costco trip for me!).&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Owning a time machine is an important responsibility.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;It’s kind of like that line from &lt;I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;Spiderman&lt;/I&gt;, “With great something comes a great deal of something else.”&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If misused, a time machine can, and likely will, wield disastrous results.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If used correctly, a time machine could potentially save the world.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If used for good nine times and used for evil seven times, a time machine would have more than a .500 win percentage. &lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;A time machine is special and must be treated with care and reverence.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;No pussy footing allowed.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Pussy footing is not on the agenda for me and my time machine.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Nor is dilly-dallying.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Nor is lollygagging.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I’m gonna put this baby to the test.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Before I delve into my findings and learnings from the past few days of time machine related excursions, I must relay three vital tips to you novice time explorers and time machine builders.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Tip 1.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;It is not, I repeat NOT, possible to build a time machine in a DeLorean, let alone any other car.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Don’t let the movies fool you.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;We simply do not have the technology (and don’t get me started on that Flux Capacitor nonsense.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Talk about three wasted years).&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Time machines are stationary and cumbersome, just like the Lord intended.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Tip 2.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Be wary of where you build your time machine. &lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;These are not teleportation devices, people!&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Learn the difference.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;If your time machine is in your basement, don’t expect to walk in it and come back out in the mall of the future.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Unless someone builds a mall over your basement, it’s just not going to happen.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Tip 3.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Before entering the time machine, please ensure that your penis is not wrapped in foil.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;So far I have logged roughly two dozen excursions on my new time machine.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;My first forays into the future were brief and marginal.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;My first trek was two minutes into the future.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I entered the machine, strapped on my safety harness, adjusted the settings and degrees on my many dials and compasses, typed in my launch code (“launch”), waited thirty seconds, recalibrated my settings and degrees, removed my safety harness and exited the machine.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Imagine my excitement when I looked at the clock on the wall, and it showed that I had indeed gone two whole minutes into the future.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I recorded my findings and sent them into the Scientific Council of Metaphysics.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I have gone farther into the future since these first experiments.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;They still have yet to respond.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Now I know what a lot of you are asking yourself.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;And the answer is the future.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The future is better than the past.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The thing about the past is that it just doesn’t hold up.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The past sucks.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;I went back to 1991 to hang out with me grade school crush.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;That didn’t work out.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The whole experience brought a whole new meaning to the phrase “Good from far, far from good.”&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;There’s another thing to remember for you novice time travelers: no matter how far into the past or future you go, you will always stay the same age.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;I went back to &lt;?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /&gt;&lt;st1:City&gt;&lt;st1:place&gt;Woodstock&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:City&gt;.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;That sucked.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;It was just a bunch of dirty, naked hippies running around and listening to bad folk and weak rock.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Hendrix has got to work on his technique before it’s too late.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;I went to the Ed Sullivan Show and saw the Beatles play in 1964.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The sound was terrible.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;I hung out with Oscar Wilde.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;The guy is a hack.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;First off, he stole all my best lines (check out &lt;I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;The Picture of Dorian Gray&lt;/I&gt; for my “She’s got a butter face.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I like everything but her face” line) and then he kept hitting on me.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Who would have thought?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Oscar Wilde gay?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Weird.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Also, he originally entitled it &lt;I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;The Importance of Being Percival&lt;/I&gt;.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;What a dolt.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Now the future is where it’s at.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Everything is better.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Did you know that in the future they passed a law to add an extra hour to Thursdays?&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;No, you didn’t know that.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;You haven’t been to the future.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;I have.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Also, in the future, there is a third kind of clock.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;It’s like a digital/analog hybrid, except with DSL.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Also, the next President will be country sensation, Toby Keith.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;He was/will be a six-termer.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;There was a law that passed in 2008 that said that a President could have as many terms as he wanted without having an election.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Bush still conceded his Presidancy to Keith at the end of his second term.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Also, Keith has a really terrific foreign policy.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;In the future, all currency is replaced by eProps.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Oh man, there is just so much to talk about.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Time travel is #1!&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;You guys need to try it.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;But since I’m the only one with a time machine, I guess the best you can do is ask me a bunch questions about the past, the future or time machine maintenance.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;Ask away and I will answer promptly!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description><comments>http://carsonmills.xanga.com/427755480/item/#firstcomment</comments></item></channel></rss>
