Of course, if I wanted to look like someone I'm not I'd say that it don't care how many points I have. That obviously, isn't what I'm going to be saying in this article though. Basically, I just want to know why my last article, "Are Athletes Paid Too Much?", shows that I have over 800 points off of it but yet I haven't recieved a single one of those points. I even made sure to post it to my site this time because I've done this before when I'd just make an article in the forum sectio...

I'm not exactly sure how would be best to do this but I thought, even though it's a bit late for it now, that I would give out a few thanks to the three JUs that I think have made the biggest/best impression on me so far. To start with, I'd like to thank GCJ for being there to push me on to write what I like writing about when I first came here about this time in 2002. My first few article that actually got replies almost always had an uplifting comment from gemcityjoe. Thank you for your ...

We all have secrets, but as I was reading an article of notsosmellysarah's I realized that I don't know much about most of you. All I really know is what name you go by on here. So, I've decided to try and find SOMETHING out about you all. This is my plan... I tell you a secret and then you reply with a little known secret about youself. If you're not comfortable with that maybe you could just tell something interesting about yourself. Alright, here's mine: When I was in 4th grade...

Alright. I think it's safe for me to write this from my experience. These lessons took a while to learn but they seem to have paid off pretty well. The first thing you have to do is find another human being that is still breathing. This is usually a pretty easy step to follow. Now, make sure this person isn't already a friend or family member because they wouldn't be NEW friends, right? Good job. So, you have your person? Good! Now start a conversation with your person. Eventually they ...

So, I was talking to one of my friends today when I remembered to ask them something that my mom told me to ask people at school... Well, let's just do it this way: Brandon: Hey Alex, do you wanna buy a duck? Alex: A what?! Brandon: A duck. Alex: Does it quack? Brandon: Yeah, it quacks. Alex: (turns to Shaun) Hey Shaun, do you wanna buy a duck? Shaun: A what?! Alex: (turns to Brandon) A what? Brandon: A duck. Alex: (turns back to Shaun) A duck. Shaun: Does it quack? Alex: (turns...

Yesterday, I realized that I can't think straight once I get on MSN messenger. All I ever get accomplished is a bunch of gibberish. Just the other day I got onto the subject of peeing. It started seriously with asking if it was normal to pee as seldomly as I do. Then slowly it got worse. We started talking about what color pee should be, and eventually started talking about looking at it. I was saying that if you look at your pee it's pretty easy to tell if you've had enough water for the ...

Ok, let's see if you can see the recuring theme here. So, one of my friends lost a practice jersey for soccer and so his dad (assistant coach) makes the team run for it. Another friend's mom decides to yell at her daughter for hugging her boyfriend. Said mother yells, "PDA!" to try and stop said friend. Now, it get's a bit more close to home... A teacher gives an F for not being able to find words a student doesn't know. A coach keeps a player out of the game because he USED t...

When you used to think about what you wanted to be when you grew you did you say that you wanted to be a chemist who just does his job because he's getting paid well enough to stand it, or did you say you wanted to be a Major League Baseball player who just does his job because it's fun? I'm sure there are reasons behind every choice, no matter how bad a choice you make. I just want to know WHY you wanted the job you have or wish you had. I want to be a music teacher because I love music ...

This is my car style, says tickle: What's the perfect car companion, the vehicle to fit your family-oriented lifestyle? It's the new generation of station wagons and minivans like the Dodge Caravan or the Volvo Cross Country. Safety first, but not at the expense of fun. Capt. over and out!

Alright, here's the deal. I'm a senior this year and in my senior skills class we work on making career passports. Basically, it's what we use to send to businesses we want to go to. We put our resumes, transcripts, varification of employability skills, and other such papers in it. Another part of the class is preparing ourselves for college. We go over how to apply for grants, scholarships, enrollment, and other related stuff. Well, in this class we have to write a "practice" college...

What if the sky was red? Do you think that the cardinal would be blue? But then what about the blue jay? Have you ever just sat back and wondered what if? What if turtles were called gophers and gophers were called penguins? What would you call a penguin? Maybe a sea monkey? What if the earth was smaller? Would animals and people be larger so they don't fly off of the planet when they try to jump? Or what if it was larger? Than we would be smaller? But then our bodies would be crushed...

I can't believe schools starting back up in two weeks. My sister has more than all the supplies she needs and I have... a book cover. No more, no less. My momma's about to just give me an old breifcase of hers for my bookbag and she thinks that I'll be ready. I don't even have any pens or paper. I don't know why I brought that up, I guess I just felt like it. Anyways, I was actually gonna kind of go with the article that carebear just wrote... "I'm a loser and proud of it!" I think ...

Alright, so I'm sure we all have someone on here that got us hooked on JU right? Well, I've seen a few people lift these people up now, and I think it's my turn to do some lifting around here. When I first stumbled upon JoeUser I found myself wondering what exactly would happen after I submited an article, because I've never done this kind of thing before. Well, I was rather disapointed with the first couple of articles I wrote because I didn't get much in the way of replies. I could count...

Ok, so, I'm heading off to band camp next week, along with carebear, zoologist03, death by beebles, and well... us. I just thought I'd explain a bit, what band camp is like for my school. It may be different for others, but this is the jist, I guess. Alright, so you pac up all of your clothes, toiletries, candies, and other happy making items. We all get onto the bus and head off to our "camp grounds". When we get there, we go get our keys to the rooms, and find the rooms. You have a ...

Well, I spranged my foot last Thursday, but I just never thought to tell how it happened. You see, I was just walking a long when all of a sudden a HUGE block of cheese appeared out of nowhere. Before I knew it, my foot was caught in it. I didn't know what to do about this dificulty, so I decided to try and eat my way out. So, I started eating it as fast as I could when all of a sudden I bite MYSELF. Of course I felt kinda stupid, but I had to do something... My foot was insanely numb f...
