the blog of JIM CAMUT

I owe some explanation:

Long story short, I drove a bright yellow Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder this weekend.

I had the week off for Turkey Break. I spent most of it at home fighting the flu and doing school work. Then at the end of the week we visited my uncle in Baltimore for Camut family traditional sausage making. We made italian sausage, drank wine, and caught up with relatives. I’ll do better blog post when I get more time, but its crunch time with the end of the semester and I should be doing school work even now. I have to explain what happened this weekend though.

I just want to say that it was always my dream to drive a Lamborghini. My favorite matchbox toy cars where my collection of Lamborghinis. When I was in cub scouts I made my pine wood derby car into a Lamborghini. And now at 23 years old I finally got behind the wheel of a Lamborghini. Dreams do come true, even if you pee on them while going exorbitant speeds down the highway. My uncle owns the car and he let my brother and I take it out. I’ll do another post about what it was like to drive it; but for now I have to do less thrilling, school related things.

Nothing is more ironic than irony

As I sit here and bewilder you with my vernacular of of big words and verbiage that make me sound like an over sophisticated douche bag that’s trying to write like he is smarter than the actual cognitive mechanisms functioning inside his brain… I come to a similar parallel…

…I is actually listinen to some gangsta rap that randomly shuffled on my itunes, and I’m feeling tougher than the white boy I really am; who is sitting at his nerdy computer with the R2D2 virus, trying to finish his homework so he can rush home and eat some soup his mom is going to make him during thanksgiving break.

Let me translate this into english: I’m as sick as a dog. I have some kind of flu right now and it totally sucks. It’s totally possible that it is the swine flu (damn pigs!). But who knows. Isn’t it ironic that I was beating the swine flu down in my last post, and now I probably have it?!

I slept over 12 hours last night and still woke up feeling like a bomb hit me. My roomate, who was out last night drinking and is all hung over, took one look at me and said, “You look like shit.” And quite a humbling moment it was to hear it coming from his mouth.

My roomate also told me a funny story. He was walking home last night with his friend all drunk and stumbly. So walking home they both had the idea to crouch down on opposite sides of the road as if they were holding a rope. And when a car came they were going to stand up and pretend to be pulling the invisible rope across the road.

So…

A car started coming towards them and they did exactly as they had planned to do. Low and behold, it was a cop car. The cop got out of his car and my roomate and his buddies thought for sure they were going to get arrested. The cop said, “I’m not going to pretend like that wasn’t funny, but you guys are going to get run over.”

Irony.

Its funny how we tend to find the things we are looking for. I’ve been biased about the Swine Flu from the start, so maybe the reason I found this article is an example of my own bias. Anyways, check out this video and read the accompanying article along with it… You be the judge.

“Once the pandemic had been declared, virologists tested the potency of this virus using a conventional method, that is, infecting ferrets with the virus.2 What they found was that the H1N1 virus was no more pathogenic than the ordinary seasonal flu…”
