-job hunting Every summer thousands of high school students go out into the world looking for something other than summer fun. hundreds of students apply for jobs that are not in the food/phone industry, while even more apply for the food/phone jobs. Each summer the high school student follows a patern in applying for a job. it goes something like this. 1. get the idea.- a high schooler's worst fear is being broke. (aka. lack of money $$$) how do they put this phobia to rest? they get a job that isn't mowing lawns and babysitting. 2. Choose the location.- this is the hardest of all the steps, since i have never gotten much farther than this one. though quite often they don't care where they work. 3.- apply for the job.- this is where my road of experience ends. i have never been called in for an interview (see step 4) or actually gotten a real job. 4.- go in for an interview.- this is when you sit down with the big guy of the company and he tells you wheather or not you get to work for him. If this is successful, then your quest to get a job is complete. if this part is unsuccessful, go back to step 1. i am not very successful with this routine. most of the time i just change my mind halfway through, and then i go back to mowing lawns. -Benvolio
well lads and lasses, i've given you another benvolio column. it's funny, because i had a topic in mind till i started writing, now i've forgotten it... yeeaargh, i be filled with anger says i... (said in pirate voice.) well since i forgot the little bit i needed to remember, i'll just BS it all. (hahaha... BS is my initials) so it's fourth quarter in school, and we all can't wait till May 28th. fourth term is a stress filled time in school, but it seems so bearable, because we all look forward to the upcoming three month parole from school. however, my hardest assignment this term is in english. i have to write a 26 page autobiography, about ME! seriously, could anything be easier to write about than my history? it's awesome! .... so yeah.... here's a really stupid joke Pres. George Bush is at the airport, and while he's standing there, he looks over and sees this old guy in a red robe and a long white beard. he thinks to himself, "that looks like moses..." so he walks over, and he's all like, "excuse me sir, are you moses?", and the old guy just ignores him. pres. bush tries again, but just gets the cold shoulder. confused, he walks over to one of his body guards, and he tells him to go over and see if he's moses. the guard asks him, and he's all like "yeah i'm moses." and the body guard asks him why he didn't listen to the president, and moses is all, "last time i talked to a bush, i was wandering the desert for 40 years" yeah... sorry this column is so lame. you'll probably have me fired after this, but yeah... later days. i'll do better next time Benvolio
in utah, when a school dance rolls around, wheather it be guy's or gal's choice, the choosers (depending on wheather it be a guy's or gal's choice) go through these elaborate asking dealys. they spend hours trying to figure out how they are going to ask thier date out. most of the time they aren't even very awesome. anywho, once they get their date asked, and they have answered in a similar fashion, they then forget they are going to the dance at all, until the day before when they start throwing together plans about as neatly as a 2 year old makes a peanut butter and honey sandwhich. for a while, i wondered why dances were always like this. it has just clicked in my head that this is the reason dances were invented. since the beginning of time (or dating, you pick) dating has always followed the fore-mentioned pattern. so when they finally DO go out, they have nothing to do, so it usually resulted in frisbee golf or bowling. (of course for cavemen it wouldn't have been easy to do frisbee, since they didn't have the technology to make flat rocks hover, but bowling was no problem. they always enjoyed throwing rocks at stuff.) then in the mid some00's some guy, who no one remembers his name came up with the idea of wasting everyone's time at the same time. he decided to throw a party with dumb music, and spiked punch, and to get people to come called it a dance. (of course no one ever dances at these "dances", and he knew that.) and that is how the high school dance was born. any questions?... good. well ladies and gents, that's all. later days Benvolio
sorry it's been so long since i wrote, been too busy/lazy. a lot has happened since the last column. my brother jordan got home from his mission today. he served in texas, spanish speaking. it's funny because he hasn't changed at all. most of the time they come back somewhat more..... mature. Another thing that has changed, i got ticked off at some of the people at givemebackmyson.com, my friend Will's website (not magnus's, will's)so i abandoned them for a month. the internet gets boring sometimes without the company of stupid people. (not refering to you bethany) But, the biggest change that has happened since we talked, i've gone against all of my former policy, and got a girlfriend. for some of you this might be shocking news, and for others, this might be old news. but it's happened. well this message doesn't have much message in it, but i thought i'd let you all in on my life, but i don't see why you care. anyway, the ideas for columns haven't been coming in very strong, actually they haven't been coming in at all. if you have any ideas for a column that you would like me to write, e-mail it to me at stutzdude@yahoo.com, or Benvolio_man@yahoo.com either one works. anyway, i'm out of time, so i'll talk to ya'll later.

ladies and gentlemen, I Benvolio do apologize for the slow process of starting this column. My only excuses are that of the laziness catagory, and that of technical difficulty. but aren't those the excuses for everything? Think about it, you didn't get your four page book report turned in on time. Why? it is normally one of two things. 1) Your stupid computer didn't print the freak'n report, or 2) you were too freak'n lazy to do the stupid report. For me, it's normally the latter one. but now, i have decided to actually type this first edition of this column. so, seeing how this is the first issue of the column, i think i find it suitable to write it, well, about me. First off, if you haven't guessed already, i am Benvolio. I currently, and always has been, living in Orem. I'm a junior at Orem High School (best school around) and ya. i come from a family of 12 kids, of which i'm the youngest. One of the things i like about myself is that i often look at things from different angles. i've been told that i see things in more unique ways than most people. it's a skill i am constantly trying to perfect. i also have an ego the size of a 787 jet. seriously. i'm not allowed onto any planes because my head is too big. My favorite movies are, Monte python -holy grail, Three amigos, oceans eleven, the godfather, and the wallace and gromit series. you have my recemendation on all of those. i probably have more, so if you feel like getting ideas for movie nights, ask me, i'll see what i can pull up. i also like to give advice, though, sometimes it doesn't make much sense. so if you have a question, feel free to ask me. it gives me stuff to write about. my e-mail address is Benvolio_man@yahoo.com and the same is my msn. well, e-mail me ideas for the next column, and if it is intersting enough, maybe i'll use your idea. anywho, i also do a weekly message on the forum. those are pretty much done quickly, so they might not be very interesting. i take ideas for that too. well, thats all for now. later days Benvolio
