Diary of Dan Frank

Yesterday I got home from work and my phone said that I had two new voice mails, so I checked them really quickly before I started in on my homework.

The first message was from my sister, he was calling to brag about the weather in San Fransisco. She said it was shorts weather and that she could not wait for me to go and visit her. I will be doing so for my spring break. I can not wait I have never been to San Fran.

The second message was from someone who voice I did not recognize...It was from Zach the bartender at the 90's! AHHHH!!! He was calling to see if I wanted to go out sometime. So tomorrow, wednesday, we are going out to dinner after I am done with school.

I am so nervous. I have not gone out on a "Getting To Know You" in awhile now, and it has been even longer since I was this nervous about one.

Talking with him on the phone was great, conversation just seemed to happen without being or seeming forced, so I am hoping that Wednesday will go the same way....I'll keep you posted.

This weekend was both incredibly bad and alright at the same time, it all has to do with Friday.

As I was driving home in my lovely year 2000 mazda 626 something horrific happened. I was switching lanes to pass someone, when suddenly my car started to make a god aweful noise. Later my check engine light came on and I found it indredibly hard to drive. My car broke. I just took the car in today and I guess it was something with the exhaust pipe. So nice of someone to to have told me there was something wrong with it before.. I mean come one the people rotating my tires should have seen that one coming. It turns out there are a few other things wrong with the car. There is something about a fuel compressor, which would explain why it is hard to start my car sometimes. I also need to have my fuel filter replaced because it is leaking, new spark plugs (because they have never been replaced), and my transmission needs to be flushed and cleaned out. Most of these things are something that I really should have been told about before when I would go to get my iol changed, yet the mechanics magically forgot to tell me about them....DAMN YOU FIRESTONE!!! In total it looks like everything will be over $1,000.00 Not including whatever I can get on my warranty.

Friday night I thought I needed a little chearing up so I went to the 90's with McBrea and some of her friends. Whose a little hottie??? Dan is a little hottie. I got hit on by two different people that night, that never happens. The first one is Zach the incredibly hot bartender, he bought me a drink because as he said, "You're way to cute to charge you for that." The second one was this guy Tommy. One of Tommy's friends came up to me because Tommy was too shy, so I went over there and talked to him for awhile. They ended up hanging out with us the rest of the night. I usually would not have talked to the kid at all, but I felt that I needed to start being more open, it is also for that reason I did something else I don't normally do...I gave Tommy my phone number. right after I did that McBrea comes up to me and tells me she gave Zach my phone number as well and that he said he was going to call me.

I really do not expect any of these guys to call me and so far they have lived up to my expectations. However, if they live up to the 3day rule I think I may hear from one of them today...I'm not holding my breath.

All this attention I got on Friday leaves me wondering...Is the sexual drought over?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!

This statement or one somewhat similar to it may be heard around Minnesota courtrooms if Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano gets his way. Emmer is supporting the idea of chemical castration for sex offenders.

The castration would be involuntary and would hopefully reduce the sexual urges in Minnesota’s most dangerous sex offenders, but would this actually work, and what are the ethical implications included in such a decision?

In order to chemically castrate a male, they would simply have to take female hormones, thus decreasing the level of testosterone in their system. A physical castration is when the testicles of a male of surgically removed. Emmer says that this option would be available to criminals if they wish to have this done. While a physical castration is permanent, simply taking testosterone can reverse a chemical castration.

According to Kare11.com, "The head of the state's ACLU branch said it's not clear castration works. The idea also might violate constitutional guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment and might be difficult to enforce if administered through hormone injections"

I am going to add to that using an example. Dogs are neutered, which is a physical castration, yet do they not still hump your leg? While the chemical castration would take away the urge for sexual gratification, it would not take away the behavior. If one were chemically castrated they may not get the sexual urge, they used to, but if they did engage in a sexual activity they would experience the same feelings.

And who is to say that the sex offenders would not find a way around their lack of arousal? With the ease of obtaining drugs such as Viagra sexual offenders may be getting injected with female hormones, but the achievement of erection is one pill away.

Do not forget the wide array of ethical issues with such a decision as well. Would this decision be constitutional? Looking at the Kare11.com quote from above, some are already questioning whether or not this can be classified cruel and unusual punishment.

In the 1920's or '30's there was a similar movement called eugenics, where "undesirables" were sterilized without consent. "Undesirables", at the time, were African Americans, prostitutes, homosexuals, and unwed mothers. Sometimes these people would go into the doctor for one procedure and walk out of the office barren. The main problem with the eugenics movement was that it did not treat all Americans as equal, it was cruel and unusual, and who was to decide which people were and were not "undesirable"?

The eugenics movement did not work to solve societies "problems" back in the 20's and 30's, why would it work today? Support of such a bill would be unconstitutional, Un-American, and inhuman. Yes what the criminal has been convicted of is a horrific crime against innocence, but there must be a better solution out there.

A long time ago I was passions one day and decided to comment on it in my blog. I probably saw something that I thought was really funny.

After that I got some people who must have come across my blog because they were doing a google search on passions or something. Well they would write a comment and I always thought this was really wierd. So I asked them to please stop, because this site was not devoted to a discussion on Charidon, Piloma, or any of the residents of Harmony. Soon after the wierdos stopped commenting on my blog, but it seems that the truce is over... Today I noticed this recent comment....actually, why don't I just share all the passions comments with you now.

i'm still too upset about that little person dying that i refuse to watch it anymore...
actually i haven't even watched Days of our Lives in a long time...just haven't had the time...and i figure i can watch it once a year to figure out what happens. things move so slow on that show, like how long did it take for the whole Princess Gina/Hope thing? is that still going on? i hope not, if so, that'd be sad. and will shawn douglass brady get belle black pregnant soon? i'm getting really antzy.

MUUUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Now I am faced with a question...which is better?? good or evil?

Posted by Daniel Frank at 01:52 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)

Sunday night not only did the New England Patriots defeat the Eagles once again winning the Super Bowl, but three friends (katie, tony, and myself) went to a bar and got completley trashed.

I am talking about the Axels Bonfire Super Bowl Party at Bogarts. We got there right as the game was staring and began drinking immediatly. It was great fun, although I once again forgot about all the good food they had there for us to eat and simply ate all the snacky things on the table in front of me.

There were a few guys who were bugging Katie and one of the hosts sisters, Alissa, or as she was going by that night...Alex. So I pretended to be going out with Alex and Tony pretended he was going with the Katie for the entire night. I think that I probably did a better job of pretending to be straight than Tony did...but not that much better.

Anyway we ended up taking a cab home which was great fun, and then we all passed out only to have to wake up the next morning at 8:00 so Tony could go to work and I could go to school...yuck

School the next day was interesting. I ended up gettin an A on my ASL quiz and I am sure I totally failed my ethics quiz.

I am really sick and tired of going to college...there is no way i would ever drop out but I really hate it right now.

"It's murder on the dancefloor, but you better not steal the groove; Dj gonan burn this god damn house right down" That song is currently playing on my ipod as I silently sit in front of an apple computer in coffman union. I usually use the xp computers here in coffman, but they are nto connecting to the network today and are thus unavailable. Using the mac is a nice change, I am not sure which I perfer better, but that is an age old question being debated by computer users everywhere; which is better? Mac or PC?

I am very excited that the weekend is here because I have been so tired latley. I cannot wait to be able to sleep in tomorrow! Of course there is a lot of homework to be done before the highlight of this weekend.

The big event for this weekend is the Axel's Bonfire holiday/super bowl party. We close all the stores and rent out Bogarts in Apple Valley for a night of bowling, dancing, singing, watching the game, and of course getting our drink on! The party features free food and free drinks from 4-12, this includes adult beverages! Needless to say my guests (Katie and Tony) and myself will be needing a cab home.

The bad part about this party is that it is always on a Sunday so that means that there is school the next day. I was planning on simply skipping all five of my classes that day, however I have a quiz in my ASL class so I will be attending that class and possibly the other two classes I would have left after that.

This weekend will for sure be interesting.

p.s. if anyone can tell me who sings "Murder On The Dancefloor" I would really appreciate it.

Tuesday morning I got a voice message from my father asking me to not be home until 11:00. I called him back and told him absolutley not, it was a school night and I needed my sleep. Of course he had figured I would simply give in and say that it was ok.

I ended up having to comprimise and not go home until after 10:00. This was fine I did not get off work until 8:30 and then Katie And Tony invited me to Don Pablos so I could watch them drool over the bartender. It was funny how Tony actually thought he had a chance...The bartender was straight...hello!

Before I joined my friends at the Pob's I again drove past the house and it was the same as last time...All the lights were out and there were no cars in the street. I can't wait until I can do this to my father, however I will simply tell him not to come home for an entire weekend.

I seriously am concidering asking him what the fuck is up, because this is getting very old.
