Wow! I never knew this before, but in 2002, I recieved three votes for NCSU Student Body President. This actually put me in a four-way tie for 4th place! (depending on exactly how you crunch the numbers)
You can view the election results here.
If you’re concerned about seeing only 2 votes for me as student body president, you’ll have to scroll down to see an additional vote for “Brad Douglas Parker.”
I also got significant write-ins for Union Board of Directors, Student Media Authority Board, and Senior Class Vice President. That shows what a strong message can be sent by a dedicated grass-roots campaign effort.

I’m back in Williamston. I get to play with my computer again. 🙂
So I like personal websites, especially if they’re made by someone I know or someone local, who probably knows everybody I know. If you know of such a site that I should think is really cool, link it on the comment thingy or on the Phorum.

Just because it snows every time I come to Raleigh does not mean that I am the cause of it.
I just have bad luck. Or something.
So I created a message board/forum. Use/abuse it as you will.

Hi. I’m in Raleigh again. It’s a bit of an inconvenient situation. I don’t really live here, but I should. So wherever I am, I’m inconvenienced.
I think I need to get Jesse and Marf a message board so they can more freely insult each other — and so we can all read about it. They obviously aren’t getting enough quality time together.
Love you guys. I’ll see you soon.

Hey. Check out this Metric Conversion Chart. No. Really. It’s fun.

Seventy-two point five degrees today! I was unbelievably happy. First I went to the Cypress Grill (or here) with my grandparents. And besides being cool hanging out with them, I got a taste of true Martin County culture, eating fried fish on the banks of the Roanoke. Wow. I didn’t know the Roanoke was such an exciting place!
Back to the b-e-a-utiful day we had! Okay. It was overcast. But I could care less. I was wearing shorts, and I finally got up the nerves to go outside. I started with a run around the golf course which convinced me that I either need to get in shape or find a par-3 course nearby. Then I rode my brother’s bike into town — where it was raining. Where do you get those really hot glasses with the windshield wipers?
Upon arriving at the house, I realized it was still really fabulous outside. So I tried out our rope swing. Somebody’s going to have to teach me how to use that thing. I can’t seem to get it. Then I thought, “Hey! I’ll climb this rope up to that branch.” Then I thought, “I can’t do that! I’m a skinny little computer geek.” Then I thought, “Yes I can, I did it just a couple of months ago at the vertical edge.” Then, just as I started climbing I thought, “At the vertical edge, I was wearing a harness. That kinda helped when I fell from the top.” So I stopped that ? with some hesitation. (Note to self: Find more things to climb on.)
So then I ran to the trailer park and back. With any luck, I?ll be ridiculously sore tomorrow.
Mom and I made pizza for supper, but there was a little problem where my pizza got all stuck to the pan and we had to scrape it off. Oh, and dad dropped the last piece on the floor, put it back on a plate and stuck it in the refrigerator. I?m telling you?
Additionally, I have been entertained by ScribbleHoney.

Well since I’m a single male housewife now, I watched the Ellen DeGeneres show this morning. That’s a good show. She’s a funny girl. She looks like a fish.

I have to go to bed earlier so I can get up in time to have coffee with the old men at the gas station.
But I just don’t want to. You know how that is? I’d rather just stay up all night talking to a really good friend. I think if I had a car tonight I might go for a really long drive. I would so like to see Sarah, and hang out and have one of those heart-to-hearts like we haven’t had since her last exam week at NCSU.
So how about this movie that’s coming out? February 25th. The Passion of the Christ.
Maybe you’ve heard of it. It was produced and directed by Mel Gibson and has stirred some controversy. Maybe you haven’t. None of the major distributors would take it, so Gibson went to an independent distributor and there has been virtually no advertising or media coverage.
Download a trailer.
Whoa. Religious leaders who have been let into private screenings have mostly been left speechless, and perhaps the best review has come from the Pope, who said of the movie, “It is as it was.”
It will be playing at a theatre near you. Go.

There’s no three-second rule in my mom’s house. With the exception of perhaps peanutbutter on the carpet, any food dropped on the floor is still good for consumption until it molds.

Lookie lookie! Well, this is what I’ve been working on (when I’m working on anything). You’ll find lots of neat new stuff here. And you’ll find it’s unbelievably slow, too!
One day, I’m going to clean up this code and make it work much faster. I didn’t write most of the code that interacts with the database, but I can see that it’s rediculously inefficient.
Just let me know if there are any bugs or problems anywhere. You are my beta testers. And don’t think somebody else will tell me. Only three people ever look at this page, anyway.
Love,
Brad
