Julie and Bish's "Webpage o' Drama"

More news from Alton, the land of a tall guy and a fictional bird.

Bottman77: i read the bros before hos post on the wpod
Bishman77: haha
Bishman77: wpod!
Bishman77: i like it
Bishman77: what'd you think?
Bottman77: always the correct philosophy

So, we have two things now.
1. WPOD. Acronyms lend importance and credence to the website.
2. Andrew has given his massive and authoritative stance on the subject, completely agreeing with the post. "Always the correct philosophy."

Andrew's the man, as is evidenced by his analysis of my analysis of the hypothetical situations described above.
Peace,
Bish

PS: The phrase bros before hos does not imply girls are hos. Nor do we look at girls as though they are hos. It rhymes, and that's the only thing reason I use the phrase. Notice I only use the word hos in context where it rhymes.

Howdy folks!

Every now and again, a fellow other than Jason or Jules (is it weird to call Jules a fellow? I'll leave that to the philosophers...) gives me something I can work with. This was from my friend Andy, on the idea of bros and hos.

"My feelings on the matter:
If I hadn't said anything to you about a girl I liked, and then you went and asked her out without consulting me first because you had no idea because I never said anything in the first place, of course it would be my own stupid fault and couldn't turn around later, and be like, "Hey,what's your deal, asking out girls I like?" <------ longest sentence ever.
Anyway, thought I'd give you my opinion.
Peace!
Andy"

So, claim your girls.

However, there is another point that has been addressed by Jason. It is the issue of "claiming" many different girls so your guy friends don't ask them out. I suggest a set of rules:

1. No liking more than one girl at a time. If you have interest in more than 1 girl, and one of them gets asked out by your friend, tough. You missed your chance.

2. If you like one girl, and other guys like the girl too, you have to make a move so if it doesn't work out the other bro can go for it. To force this, it's called the 5 day plan. If the first person doesn't ask the girl out, it's over after 5 days and the other guys ask her out for him. Any self respecting girl will say no to that. Then the other guy goes for it.

3. No whining. This is self explanatory.

Peace everybody! Yay for fall getaway and boo to chem lab!

Bish

Hiya dears!
Bish, yay for the "yays and boos"!! As for myself at the moment, boo to anatomy. If this ends up being my last post, it's because it will have eaten me. let's hope that's not the case...."the neck bone's connected to the....."yeah, im just a little screwed. And u know what? i dont care!! im going to bed!! sweet dreams!! ~Julie

Hey folks!

Yes Jason, you're right. Unfortunately the problem is the system is explained relies on the maturity of all parties, which cannot be counted on. But ideally it sounds good, and hey, I never said anything on this blog was practical.

NEW SECTION: YAYS AND BOOS
Yay for laundry, yay for an easy week followed by the worst week of the year. Until it's the hard week anyway. Then boo. And boo to kidney stones, they make me groan but cookies are better than scones. Yay to hanging out with Becky Friday night, and yay for chillin' with Ryan May and John Lim for the first time in a year and a few months. Boo to the chiefs and bears both losing, not that I care about the Bears all that much.

Yay or boo to the yays and boos section? IM me if you've got a strong opinion.
Peace !
Bish

Hmm...
Bish, I'm gonna say that your thoughts on the matter, "Bros before Hos, so let the Bro go," holds true in most circumstances. Usually the guy with the stronger feelings would be the one to speak first. But, it doesn't work if one of the guys is just naturally quieter or doesn't feel like the chance to discuss such a thing came up. But, like I said, this should work for most occasions, especially in a strong group of Bros.

The only problem that I could foresee would be if it caused a mad dash for women. All the guys just throw out names of girls that they possibly might become interested in. All the girls you manage to grab first, you hold onto like stock, buy/sell or trade the rights to pursue for a different stock. But, the likelihood of this much competitiveness is unlikely to happen, even though it is the root of this whole discussion.
So, basically, I agree with you, Bish. But with me being male, I can't exactly answer any of your questions, Jules.

You've heard who I claim, so be sure to keep your distance or I'll have the SEC investigate!

Soundtrack of the Post: Seether - Fine Again (Fun to listen to when in pain)

Hey my dears!
Sorry for not posting in a loooooooooong time!!! Hmm..what's new? besides the fact that I think i have the worst cold i have ever had in my entire life..not much! I seriously sound like a guy!! ahhhh!! hehe!
But Bish, I must admit that I like your post too! I think that is def. a good system to have for guys, but how realistic is it? I mean, i'm totally all for that, but for the average guy, I'm just curious, is that possible for working? B/c for girls, (some girls i should say), hmmm how do i say this? I have found in my experience, though mostly in the past when i was a smidgen bit younger, that girls seem to stake claims on guys. Which, being perfectly honest, is ridiculous, but nonetheless, true. It's like, oh they meet a new group of people one night, and right away one goes..ooh i like him. Really, how can u tell after five minutes if not based on appearance alone? But it happens, and then her fellow girlfriends find it their duty as a friend to turn off the switch that may have one day led them to like that guy as well. ( I really hope this is makin' sense). Now trust me, I am all for girls NEVER going for one of their best friend's ex's, but why make claims? Yes, im a cheezy girl who falls for the slightest bit of romance, but just work with me here. What if the girl who turns off that "romance" switch b/c her friend announces that this is her new crush, is actually suppose to be with this guy? Like her "the one". Do u know what I'm saying? Yes, i know this is a long shot, but for real. Where does one draw the line? and then, at the same time that I am writing this, I am a hypocrite as well b/c if one of my girlies went for a guy that I had been crushin' on forever, let's just say i would be a teeny bit upset. But I def. think that there is a difference between a random crush, and someone who hmmm.. someone you may call your "untouchable". (not referring to a specific someone, i swear, cuz that is pretty much gone. just tryin' to make a point.) WHERE IS THE LINE??? That is why i was just curious to see if your suggestion, bish, would work for guys, cuz i know how complicated the whole concept would be for us girls. So, guys feel free to let us know your opinions on this, 'cuz i would really really like to know! hehe! have a good night my dears!! ~Julie
P.S. Can i just repeat how much i love this blog?????

EPIPHANY!

Today, I realized that the only times I ever post on the blog are after long periods of time doing homework, late at night, or when I'm incredibly tired.

This completely explains why my posts are usually off topic and unrelated to anything going on in reality.

I would also like to apologize for my incredibly crappy previous post where I nixed my thesis on nerdiness.

So what's the newest thing? I think I coined a new phrase: "Bros before hos so let the bro go." It refers to a situation in which two guys like the same girl but one guy announces it first. Regardless of who the girl would prefer, the 2nd bro should let the 1st bro go for before the 2nd bro does anything. This destroys any type of competition over the girl. Girls are temporary but your guy friends are forever... unless it happens to be that one girl. But who's willing to risk a friend for that? Only some stupid love starved hopeless romantic guy that's just going to piss everyone off anyway. And we don't need him around. = )

I think the interesting thing to learn is that the 1st guy that liked the girl first needs to be mature enough to ask the girl out and find out if anything is happening, and if it fails to give the right of way to the guy 2. Hopefully he would be secure enough to admit that maybe he and that other girl just weren't meant for each other and that his friend would work out better with her.

Just as a given, I would like to say that this situation is not real. I don't like any of the girls my guy friends are going after, or vice versa. I just think that the way above is the best way to handle the situation. I'm putting this out in the open for review. I may not be right! And God forbid I make someone angry at my posts again. That happens every 3rd or 4th post. Hahaha... I should probably just stop writing on this thing.

But what fun would that be??

Thanks for letting me rant about a pointless non sequitur.

Fancy words,
Bish

PS: Wow, I kinda like that post. Maybe quality, fun filled and relationship oriented posts are back! LET THE DRAMA BEGIN!

I don't like my analysis of nerdiness... it seems to narrow and doesn't explain all the different situations. If you read it I erased it, because it didn't fully explain the essence of what a nerd is.

I apologize, and in the future I may again undertake this enormous task.

And if you have no idea what I'm talking about don't worry, you didn't miss much.

Peace,
Bish

Hey! I've got drama! Finally, after my long awaited silence, I speak again. Unfortunately, my drama is not the fun drama that usually involves incomprehensible hormones and even more incomprehensible awesome females. Although... there are some particular CRU girls out there that could easily rock my face off. Now, just to wait for the right opportunity... Yes, Bish, I'm a pansy. I wait for the proper moment to strike instead of going head-first diving into the unknown.
So, my drama, as I am being constantly reminded by the pain in my back left side, is actually physical. I will learn what it is like to have a baby. I supposedly have a kidney stone, and it woke me up this morning and quickly escalated on the pain-o-meter.
So, broken heart or rebellious kidneys, which drama hurts the most?

~Jason

Hey! It's me, with bad hat hair, whiskers (he's the guy on the left) and good ole Jason Buckingham.

I wanted to repost that picture with a bigger resolution. Let's see how it works. 

Hey everybody! Here's another picture of me, Ronnie, Caleb, Bradford, me, and I think that's a girl on staff but I can't quite tell cuz her hair is dark since it's early in the summer. It could be Liz. Oh well. WOO WOO! For pictures, that is 

Justin is my hero. 

Hey everyone!

It's been a while since I've updated, so I wanted to try to appease the masses that flock to the "Webpage o' Drama" with a picture.

Let's see if I can do it!

I did it! However, it was added in a different post. Weird.

Anyway, right under this post is my friend Justin, from project. He's sleeping on the sidewalk, not surprisingly given his train hopping hobo nature. However, as you all can see, he's my hero.

The other picture is a little small, I tried it twice. We're chillin' in a Mexican restaurant in Tijuana before we go to the orphanages in Mexico to show the Jesus film.

Fun times with pictures, now I need to add to the drama by getting some pictures of fun stuff.

So, to join the "Buy the webpage o' drama a digital camera fund," send 15 dollars to 429 Blaisdell Hall.

Thanks and see you all later!
Bish

Hello hello my dears!!
First of all, Bish I just want to say that I personally thought your posts were awesome! They definitely got me laughing and they did not sound conceited at all, so no worries! :) Plus, this is a blog. We say what we want and people read if they want. So keep posting what u think and how u want to say it! we own this thing, come on now!! :)
Hmmmm.... what's new? well i survived my 21st!! Definitely paid for it ALL of the next day, but hey, it was a good time, so oh well. Definitely not gonna be repeating the experience anytime soon, let me tell u that much!! Other than that.....hmmm anatomy is kicking my butt! anyone wanna go to my cadaver lab for me???? seriously, it's sooooooooo gross, u have no idea. And yay for me having a weak stomach. OR NOT!!!! Apartment life is going pretty well though. Andrea and I have learned that dishwashers can and will throw up bubbles multiple times (kinda funny once it's all cleaned up, mind u!!) and that microwaves can make hot cocoa explode! and that vacuums make good bug killers.....but that is a long story in itself. hehe! but dears, that's about it for now, cuz im exhausted. Sweet dreams!! ~Julie

Hmm...
I went and erased some of the chapters of Bish because people didn't like them. They said they made me look conceited. Well, for the record I was hyped on coffee at 12-2 a.m. and decided to duplicate Andy's book of sayings that in no way resembles the bible, except make it maybe resemble the bible a little bit more.

I took out the two that said anything really about God, except Bish 23 cuz it's relatively theologically accurate. The other two weren't... but remember I never claimed they were. Everything was a joke and it wasn't to make myself look good. I can just imagine getting a huge email from my mom and she'll be worrying about me going "over the edge" or something.

Goodnight world, and I hope I did you no offense.
Bish

OFFICIAL DISCLAIMER: THE BOOK OF BISH IS NOT DIVINELY INSPIRED AND DOES NOT CLAIM TO BE, GET OVER IT.

Bish: 4
Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, just as they were handed down from J Rice to Padiak, those who were from the beginning eyewitnesses of the movie night, and having carefully investigated everything from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent brethren and sisthren, so that you may know the exact truth about movie night.
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Padiak, that all the world shall go to movie night. This was while Burke was campus director of Crusade. And everyone was on his way to go to the movie night. Bish also went up from PAR, to the south quad, through the realm of Becky that is called Snyder, because he knew some people there.

Then Bish saw some hobos, and an angel of the Lord instructed the hobos to go to the movie night with Bish. They were sore afraid. But then Bish said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the apartment of Padiak there has been called a movie night. This will be a sign for you; there you will find many people in a dark room watching bad movies."
And suddenly there appeared a great chorus of movie night goers, singing, "Let's all go to movie night, And on earth peace, good will among men."

Summary of what happened to the blog:
1. Bish got inspired to redo Psalm 23 into Bish 23.
2. Bish decided to write the book of Bish.
3. Bish wrote the book of bish and posted it to the blog.
4. The blog wigged out like crazy, posting things multiple times and in random orders.
5. Bish deleted duplicate blogs.
6. The chapters of Bish ended up out of order.

Anyway, they are still a lot of fun although Bish 1 is more of a recap than a beginning, and is a little more serious than the rest. Bish 3 is Michael's favorite, taken from 1 Corinthians chapter 1.

I hope you all enjoy them and I want feedback! IM me or email me at Bish@uiuc.edu
Have a great day everyone, I'm sure to post some more after chem lab.

Also! If you have a good chapter that should be turned into a chapter in the book of Bish, give me an im or something.

BISH!

Ok, I had so much fun writing Bish 23 that I'm going to write Bish 1. But later.
[needs to be filled in]
Booo to people not getting what I say.
Bish

Hey world of drama fans!

I apologize for the massive lack of posting. The truth is I've tried 3 times and all times my posts were lost and blogger failed me. Shame on you, old friend.

Anyway, times have been good lately. I am in the process of writing the book of Bish, it will someday be canonized in the apocrypha if I have any luck. (Did I spell that right?)

So, here is the first passage. It's on my buddy profile for now:

Bish. 23:
The Lord is our love, we do not need women. He makes us to be happy without them. He leads us so we do not need them. However, he brings us to the right one eventually. He guides me to her paths for His glory. Yea, though we walk through the valley of the shadow of women, we shall fear no rejection. For He is with us, his sovereignty dominates. He prepares a table where we will both sit on a date at some point. He has anointed our salads with oil (or ranch), our cups get free refills. Surely we will find the girl and goodness and happiness will follow us all the days of our lives, and the two of us shall dwell in the same house... until we die anyway.

I think this blog will be filled with the book of Bish. It has no divine nature, however, hopefully it is somewhat insightful and humorous. My buddy profile should usually have the latest chapter.

Times are good. Woo Woo!
I'm out!
Bish

Next chapter! WOO WOO!

Bish 3:
Bish, called as a person who writes a blog,
to the church of CRUSADE at U of I, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, and to his friends who for some reason aren't Christian but Bish still loves them anyway,
Greetings to you from Bish, and also from God and Jesus.
I give thanks always for you all who help me out all the time. You are enriched with love and I can see it in your actions. Now I exhort you, brethren and sisthren (sisters?), that we should all play more ultimate frisbee and hang out in large groups more often. Now I mean this, that each of you is saying, "I am of PAR," and "I am of an apartment," or "I am of the 6-pack."
Have we been divided by our places of living? These places are not what brought us together! So therefore, the game of frisbee is foolishness to those who do not know it, but to those who do it is the power of a fun time for all. For it is written,
"So shall they play frisbee, and enjoy it." [later in the book of bish, this quote will be found.]
Where then, is the nerd who does not need physical activity? Where then, is the person who says another game is better? Has it not been made obvious that frisbee is the best game of all? For indeed Jews ask for dradle and Greeks ask for the olympics, but we preach Frisbee as the best game, to Jews a worthless game and to Gentiles a waste of time.
For consider your calling to frisbee, brethren and sisthren. Through more playing our ability will become greater [kinda like sanctification], and that when we boast it will not be in our throws or physical ability, but in the game of Frisbee and that it was given to us as a gift from God.

I'm out for now. Send suggestions to bish@uiuc.edu
Peace!
Bish

Hey kids!!
So on the eve on my 21st birthday, I'm going out. Now that in itself is not drama. But we'll see how it is tomorrow.....yikes! :) have a great night!! ~Julie
