Mr. Miranda, Don't Go Changing, It would likely be a change for the worst. Enjoy College.
Francois Barcomb

Barcomb's Yearbook Signature

SHUT UP!!!

With the Physics Regents only a few days away, it is time to look back and remember the great class that was Physics with our very dear: Mr/Dr. Barcomb.

"Awww doc you're adorable", "You're so cute" & "You sexy doctor." -Krystina

"Oh Jeffy." -Barcomb

Krystina Murawski: "Tis the season to be jolly!" 
Mr. Barcomb: "No Miss Murawski, tis the period to be quiet." 

Barcomb's PageMaster Hat before Holiday break HAHAHAHAHAHA

Coulomb's law!!!! Oh man, that quiz was SOOO easy!! F = kq1q2/r squared. Q are the charges, k is the 8.99 x 10^9, r is the distance. SO simple!
-Leigh Garcia

ME: We're not all bad students, like me, I'm a good student and look at Ms. Garcia over there, doing her work too, she's a good student.
BARCOMB: Yeah, if only she had been doing her work yesterday when the superintendant was visitng.

Anyways I was able to learn more about this guy's philosophy and ideas.

BARCOMB: 

Why should I go to a funeral? So I can feel sad? I can feel sad at home...I don't care.

Funerals are so pagan, everybody just sits around a dead body feeling sad, I can feel sad at home.

 I was 13 when I went to my first funeral and it was my grandmother who I didn't even know so I didn't care, I was like oh you're dead who cares.

I just don't care about students, if they wanna fail that's their problem I am not go around calling their father so they can be good for what? a day and a half?

ME: When I was in middle school, I would hear teachers going home with nervous breakdowns because of their students.
BARCOMB: That's because they internalize it, unlike me, I just don't care.

Next year the moment someone starts acting up, I'll call their parents and referred them, not wait til the last minute like this year.

I know I'm not a bulldog, so I don't care what they say because I know they'll say anything behind my back.

We teachers come in at like 6 in the morning, set everything up and go home at 2:45, we don't have time to hang out or anything.

I think I'll enjoy being a high school teacher, I have no problem doing this for 30 years.

Barcomb: "Greed is a good thing on Wall Street but pain is good too."

Barcomb: "When you get electrocuted you do the 600 hertz slide, and then there's a sweet burning smell...then you keel over."

Barcomb: Are you okay Ms. Volpacchio?
Valerie: Yeah
Barcomb: Okay then shut up

Me: Mr. Barcomb did you really fail an entire class?
Barcomb: Yeah but if they want they could take it again next year

So this is a convo between me and my friend and Barc yesterday:

Barc: Miss Garcia, Miss Jacobson, do I have to separate you two?
Us: *shakes head*
Barc: Are you sure?
Us: *nods*
Barc: Well then stop nodding and shut up!

(From Leigh)

Me: Mr. Barcomb can you please tell Andrew to stop pushing the desks into me
Barcomb: Mr. Goncalves, don't make that the only thing you do this quarter

Jiabei Lu: Mr. Barcomb can I go to the bathroom?
Barcomb: No
Jiabei Lu: So can I go?
Barcomb: What's the matter Mr. Lu, does no mean yes in Chinese?

Krystina Murawski/Jessica Sharkey: Mr. Barcomb your fly is open!

Barcomb: Cedar Falls, Iowa; it's like the best thing that happened to Iowa...a town smaller than Buchanan

Barcomb: Mr. Miranda, your French is horrible, you're an insult to Francophiles all over the world.

Barcomb: I go to Joann all the time
Krystina/Jessica: Do you sew?
Barcomb: No, I quilt
Krystina/Jessica: You quilt!?
Barcomb:  No...shut up!

Me: Yesterday, Barcomb's fly was open!
Leigh: Oh yeah we knew, but we didn't tell him

Me: I wanna live to be your age Mr. Barcomb...I wanna live to be 45.
Barcomb:  You think I'm 45? Did you hear that Mr. Havranek? He thinks I'm 45.

Barcomb: Mr. Miranda...be quiet
Me: Sorry Mr. Barcomb, I was just talking to myself
Barcomb: I don't even think yourself likes to listen

Barcomb: I hope we all get bird flu

Me: What's this list of student?
Barcomb: Mr. Annunziata is taking these students to go and save the world or something, that's why they can't come to physics, that's so stupid people should stop trying save the world, they're only making it worst

Barcomb: Mr. Goncalves I doubt you're asking about power equations.

Me: Connor just leave me the hell alone...oh hi Mr. Barcomb
Barcomb: Mr. Miranda...leave me alone.

Barcomb: Why do you like history Mr. Miranda, people are so much better than they were before, history is just looking back at mistakes.
Me: You need history to look at past mistakes.
Brianne Sperber: Ugh! This isn't History Class! This is Physics!
Me: We could talk about the history of Physics...
Barcomb: You wanna talk about the history of Physics?
Brianne Sperber: Nooooo!!!!

Barcomb: Turkey is not a non water beverage it's food.
Josh Denenberg: It is if you put it in a blender.

He (Barcomb) talked about eating oatmeal on bread today...
It was weird.
-Leigh

Me: Barcomb do you listen to 50 Cents?
Barcomb: Yes
Krystina: Aww, you do?
Barcomb: No, I don't listen to that crap

Me: Are you in a good mood today Mr. Barcomb?
Barcomb: No, I hate you all.

Jeff Camarra: I asked Barcomb if he could speak at our graduation and he said he'd rather hang himself.

Barcomb: Yeah I just put some oatmeal between two pieces of bread.

Barcomb: Alright children just a few more minutes and then we can have naptime and some milk and cookies.

Me: The Constitution is never followed!
Barcomb: What are you Mr. Miranda? A reconstructionist?
Me: No
Jessica Sharkey: Well you're always reconstructing what Ms. Guadagno says

Barcomb: What's this?
Me: Oh, you're holding the paper upside down
Barcomb: Oh, I thought it was in some other language.

"I did not get a Ph.D. in Physics to be pied."
-Barcomb

Yeah: Matt Jenks and Sean Feeney actually PIED HIM, that was MEMORABLE

Peter Fusco: Hey Barcomb, did your girlfriend see your sea-men get it, semen.

Barcomb: Talk to the hand cause the face don't want to.

Leigh: He's scared of me, he's always like: Ms. Garcia stop scaring people.

Barcomb: I wanna hit Mr. Miranda with this cable.

Me: Barcomb!
Barcomb: Oh Happy Days are here at last Mr. Miranda
Me: You're my favorite teacher!
Barcomb: Has it really come to this?

Barcomb: So are you getting a hundred in history?
Me: I hope so.
Barcomb: Oh cause you ain't getting one in here.

Barcomb: I snore and I sweat.

Barcomb: I fell out of car once and it took my parents like 10 minutes to drive back to the spot and pick me up, not only was I sore but I didn't get to go to the fair.

Jess Sharkey, Jeff & Kristy: Barcomb, what are you doing for Cinco de Mayo?
Barcomb: Nothing, it's not my holiday, the Hungarians have an independance day too but we don't seem to care.

Barcomb: There's an earthquake in Mexico and 2 million Mexicans died, so England sends some aid and France sends some I don't know...French Fries and the U.S. says 'hey do you guys want 2 million replacement Mexicans?'

Barcomb: Hey DUMB ASSES!


BARCOMB:

"Mr. Miranda are you really this dopey?", 

"I have an announcement to make, first announcement: shut the hell up", 

"So far, we've learned that Mr. Knauer does not understand orders and that we will begin a period of review next week", 

"Mr. Camarra I asked you to shut up and yet you're still laughing", 

"The answer was (3) and you all thought it was (1), got you!", 

"I'll be nice Ms. Brophy, I'll be nice to your parents when I call them and tell them about what you do in class".

Barcomb: Mr. Camarra, stop being annoying

Krystina Murawski: Do you ever pop up your shirt collar?
Barcomb: Do you ever shut up?

Barcomb: Who first theorized the atom?
Me: Democritus
Barcomb: Thanks History Boy
Me: You're welcome, Physics Man

Barcomb: All the teachers think you have some serious problems Mr. Miranda

Me: Hey Leigh are you ready for the Physics Regents?
Leigh: UGH!

Barcomb: Put those yearbooks away you vain vile little creatures

Barcomb: Miss Garcia, I've been telling your brother to shut up all morning!
(Got that from Leigh)

-Barcomb wrestling Matt Jenks & Jeff Camarra
-Barcomb calling everybody "monkeys that throw feces all over the place"





PERIOD 8B/9 FOREVER

Okay, so here are some more hysterical videos that I found on line, yes they need to be watched: you'll be falling out of your seats!

Watch Jewel go from "a sweet folk rock" singer to a prostitute lol:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQO0pAWRes&search=Madtv%20Parody

Ode To Rednecks! Yes, ignorance can be quite amusing sometimes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0B0RftP0o0&search=Madtv%20Nicole%20Sullivan

Oh God: The King of America? Bush is an awesome Playstation player and of course, we definitely are winning against Iraqistan:

May. 20th, 2006 @ 12:12 pm IF ONLY IF ONLY
Current Mood: apatheticapathetic
Current Music: If Only by Fiction Plane
'If only, if only,' the woodpecker sighs
The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies
As the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely
He cries to the mo-oo-n, 'If only, if only'
-Louis Sachar Holes

Maybe it'd be better if I just gave in for once, Idk, it might not hurt. The SEED Club Picnic is coming up real soon and you know something: what's so bad about doing something different? What's so bad about learning to do something you ordinarily wouldn't do? I don't like Math in my opinion but I still have to learn it, so why can't the same thing go for the Foam Swords? Maybe...just maybe, I'll try and give in.

So I read like what the first two chapters of The DaVinci Code at Barnes & Nobles (after bumping into Jake Pershing and Jen Cunningham, and seeing: Emily Jasinski, Kaityln Eisen and Josh Denenberg at the Town Center). The book is interesting, except for the prologue which states: "Everything in here is accurate" when it isn't. I am planning on seeing the movie Friday hopefully.

So here's my 9/11 Question Bank:

1. What is the deal with the Pentagon?
2. Did a plane really hit the building?
3. Why hasn't the government released the tapes that would "prove" American 77 hit the building?
4. Why haven't any plane parts been recovered from Flights 77 and 93 (11 and 175 I understand, they did explode into a building)
5. Were the cellphone calls fake?
6. Did Flight 93 really crash in Shanksville?
7. How come a passport was found at the Trade Center with a hijacker's name and not the Black Box of the plane?
9. Was the Osama Bin Laden confession tape even real?
10. If the US is behind this whole mess, why did they do it?

If you can't answer that, then watch this, it's shocking:

May. 18th, 2006 @ 10:39 am ODE TO BARCOMB
Current Music: Barcomb's favorite song (whatever that is)
Okay so ever since I got my Xanga, I've been writing my original written works on that but I'll make an exception for this poem. Yes, it is an Ode To Barcomb hahaha. I wrote it in 5 minutes at the beginning of my English class cause we had to write poems and present them. Well, enjoy.

"I have to show this to Francois, he'll get a good chuckle out of it, said Ms. DiFabio

If You Have Barcomb, well You Need To Read This

ODE TO BULLDOGS

DISCLAIMER

This will be a little confusing 
I hope you understand
I wrote this five minutes ago
as fast as I could write
with this hand.

I met a man today
A rather odd one he was
He seemed grumpy and cold
like a soldier in a war
He seemed sadistic with the words he said
almost like a mad man
His demeanor was rough
with a body like a bulldog
And the attitude of a pit bull

Yes he's threatened me before
But somehow I could see beneath
the cold hard exterior
This man hid his emotions
and his jolly side, but they came out
periodically

He could make me laugh 
With his strange jokes and unusual manners
Even the sound of his voice
when he says Shut up Mr. Miranda
makes me smile
He's a truly remarkable man
His name you ask?
I'll give you a hint
A place to unwind and have a drink
makes up part one of the gentleman's name
A device to groom your hair
makes up part two

Me: Ms. DiFabio you don't have to show it to him
DiFabio: I know but I'm gonna, Francois will get a big kick out of it
Me: Yeah, and I'll get a big kick out of him.

May. 17th, 2006 @ 05:37 pm FAITH
Current Mood: contentcontent
Current Music: Faith by Sheila Nicholls
Something rumbling underneath my skin,
I could not define it or invite it in.
To let it in would be to liberate,
To keep it in darkness is to propagate

It's all about, believing through something that you always doubt.

When you have faith you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste,
Its never too late
So try to create cause the last thing that breaks is your faith

Something shouting from behind my eyes I'm looking too closely to recognize it
To gain perspective think it would be wise, would you please listen while it testifies now.
It's all about believing through something that you always doubt 

And I surrender to this storm,
I'm tasting raindrops sweet and wet and warm
And may I never lose this faith I've found
Keeps me anchored onto solid ground
So let lightning flash and wind swirl around,
around, around, around

When you have faith you will be willing to wait
When you have faith through all that logic and haste,
Its never too late
So try to create cause the last thing that breaks is your faith

So today I had a rather interesting day filled with some cool stuff and some...weird stuff.

There was a Moby Dick read-a-thon today at school where a bunch of people got together and signed up to read chapters of the story Moby Dick and they were going to read the entire thing...gggaaahhh...and the entire thing was supposed to last a total of 13 hours (beginning in the morning during Period 1). I went on my free Period 4 and sat with Liz and Jen and then I actually participated by reading Chapter 46 (or at least half of it) during Period 7 with Jill Luciano. It was alright but some of it was boring, remember: the book is long and the chapters can get very detailed and boring. Period 1: School of Rock lol in French and yes: Jack Black looks like Liz's brother Steve-o or so Manse and Liz say. Oh, and Manse kept asking us if we knew the songs and I have no idea what any classic rock is lol. Period 2: Poetry by EE Cummings (Ms. DiFabio could not access EE Cummings poems on line because of the block and the word "cum" HaHaHa). Period 3: Troy but I wasn't paying much attention. Period 4: The "Dick-a-Thon" lol and Period 5: Good lunch period with Emilio and JB (although Emilio was kinda sickly today). Leigh and Jill Nelson were there and we hung out with them a little bit. Period 6: Math Test on Ellipses...I think think I did good. Period 7: Yeah I drove the Hallock sub crazy cause I basically came late with pass, left for 5 minutes, came back and left again to go to the Dick-A-Thon. Jill Luciano is an amazing person! Period 8 & 9: Big Bad Barcomb gave us a quiz and then we did some review stuff and I still don't have a review book. Bus ride: Talked to Liz and After School I went to visit Dana! She's my prom date, something I really appreciate and she might come to River Clean Up!

THE "DICK-A-THON"









And of course I had to show off my reading skills...lol, I was somewhat nervous though
(Oh, when Aron Rubin read he mispronounced "clock" and said "cock" LOL)

CETTE TOUT!

May. 13th, 2006 @ 04:12 pm DRACULA
Current Mood: blankblank
Current Music: Love Song For A Vampire by Annie Lennox

So far the weekend's been extremely boring!

I watched some movies in the afternoon and one especially got my attention: Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula. Lol, it was amazing! Sad, but amazing. I kinda felt sorry for Dracula after watching that cause he really didn't start out as an evil man.

What would you do if you lived in a time when:

  • An invading army is ravaging your country
  • You've been captured by the enemy
  • Your father has been murdered by his fellow countrymen
  • Your brother has been taking from you by the enemy
  • Everywhere you go there are traitors
  • People think you're the Anti Christ or Evil

I don't know about you: but I'd be pretty pissed. The ending was ridiculous though cause it was supposed to be a biography and they just had to sneak in Dracula as a vampire lol. Oh: they also showed how religious heads can be so corrupt as all hell. In the end: guess who betrayed Dracula and his family? Yep! An Orthodox Priest!

Vampires are the most interesting beings from folklore and myth: from the Lamia in Greece to Count Dracula, I must admit as scary as they are I think they're interesting. Invulnerable undead creatures who must feast on the blood of the living: they are monsters, they are agents of the Devil but they also represent raw human-animal passion. Who wouldn't want to be invulnerable? Who wouldn't want to have "pleasure" everywhere and everytime? Who want to control the creatures of the night? 

Yeah...I think there's a little bit of vampire in all of us right down to our primeval bloodlust.


"Oh loneliness, oh hopelessness 
To search the ends of time
For there is in all the world
No greater love than mine..."

May. 5th, 2006 @ 10:00 am SUPERNATURAL QUOI?
What the hell happened to Supernatural? The season finale was just too much for me to bear: I cried, laughed, moaned and pretty much felt horribly sorry for the characters. The episode was titled: Devil's Trap and it had the brothers battling Meg, who was exorcised and freed, dying in peace and then they rescued their father from the clutches of demons.

Sadly: the Alpha Demon (who killed Mrs. Winchester, Jessica and don't forget Max's mom from the episode Nightmare) took over Mr. Winchester's body and nearly killed both Sam and Dean, Dean especially who was howling in pain as the demon tortured him with psychokinesis. Sam and Dean managed to escape, and Sam grabbed the gun and managed to corner the Alpha Demon. The only problem was that the demon was possessing their father's body: killing it would kill Mr. Winchester. The demon was spared, a horrible mistake. It escaped and the boys took their dad and were en route to the hospital when the demon (possessing a trucker) slammed a big rig into their car and left them for dead. 

THE END

NOOOOOOO!!!!!! This can't be the end! The show only had 22 episodes and it was one of the most awesome shows ever, I learned so much about the supernatural world from this show: demons, ghosts, Wendigos, tulpas, reapers, Women in White, pagan gods, curses...this show was like amazing! This can not be the end! Come on people! Come on WB11 (soon to be CW...random I know) give it a second season: someone's gotta survive: there's gotta be more! I'd give the show another season and maybe even a feature film! It's just this good! Screw SVU, Medium and Zack & Cody! I LOVE SUPERNATURAL!

Then again: the second season would take place while I'm in college hypothetically speaking so I probably won't be able to keep up with it...drat! There's always YouTube.com!

FAVORITE EPISODES: Provenance, Asylum, Faith, Phantom Traveler, Hook Man, Something Wicked, Scarecrow, The Pilot and Dead In Water!

Watch the show on Thursdays at 9 PM (if they're still airing after this season finale fiasco) or go to YouTube.com and type in SEARCH Videos: Supernatural-(Name of Episode). All 22 episodes are on it: in 4 parts though (which is the only annoying part about YouTube).

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SON!

Apr. 25th, 2006 @ 04:05 pm DID YOU LICK THAT LINE YOURSELF OR DID THE VOODOO MAGIC HELP?
Current Mood: goodgood
Current Music: So Long Jimmy by James Blunt

I just can't believe that it's over.
We were chilling out on the sofa,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you lick that line yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Do you seem real but I seem fake?
Does everyone get hypnotized by your fire?

So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.

I'm just so relieved that it's over.
We were hanging out going nowhere,
Digging how the guitar goes,
In a song that no one knows.
Did you burn that bridge yourself,
Or did the voodoo magic help?
Does everyone have a different take?
Are you just cool and I'm just baked?
Does everyone get mesmerized by your fire?

So long, Jimmy, so long.
Though you only stayed a moment,
We all know that you're the one. Singing,
So long, Jimmy, so long.
Sure we're glad for the experience,
We miss you now you've gone.
We're just swimming in your soul 'cause,
We all wish we wrote this song.
Life goes on.


So what's new in the world? Nothing really except well the U.S. government is being run by ridiculously selfish people and no one's doing anything. Hey, what can we expect? People are just stupid. Wake up America! We're going down *cries*.

Anyways: as more my life, today was a good day: I smiled a lot hehe to show off my new pearly whites. Hehehehe: Blake I am no longer half the emo kid you said I was in the summer. Ah the world with out braces: it has its set backs those flippin' retainers which make your mouth feel horrible! So Period 1 we filled out our AP information and one particular instruction sounded kinda stupid: "paste your AP number in the corresponding box and then look up." Look up? Why? I had to do this twice: once for French and again for AP Global. I kinda embarrassed myself in front of Josie when I went into Period 3 French to hand in my booklet to Manse. Manse: Pourquoi est-que tu me le donne a moi? Me: Parce que I have to donne it to you...I mean I have to give it to you. Oh God: I'm soo getting a 2 on the AP, just for that I'm gonna get a two. So Period 2 we did some stupid activity personally I didn't like it and Period 4: I had my free and I continued working on my Hamlet powerpoint. I also went to see Ms. McGowan about 1) FAFSA and 2) The Youth Center. Gah! College loans are complicated crap! I'm doomed if I can't pay for college and it's what? Over 9000 dollars that I have to pay...yeah, I'm doomed. Period 5: Good time at lunch with Emilio and JB. Yay: Movie night is back on! I'm soo happy and excited. So um: all those two ever talk about is World of Warcraft some ridiculous role playing game with druids, gold, leperchauns, dwarves, monsters and other strange thing. I went on to the website once and I kinda don't get it lol. Emilio looks at me when he's talking about it and all I do is like nod my head even though I don't understand zip! Period 6: Math and Period 7: We finished watching North Country and all I can say is that the movie's alright but it made a powerful statement. Period 8 & 9: Physics and boy oh boy the things that happened there. Andrew Goncalves splashed water on Jeff Camarra and Jeff attacked him and they were like struggling with each other. Barcomb looked at them and slowly walked over to the phone and called Mr. Owens, who literally came running to "break up" the fight like a gazelle. Hahaha: seeing him run just made me laugh so much, he looked like a little gray haired sprinting gazelle. Bye Bye Stupid Attention-Seekers! Afterwards: Physics was soo quiet and we talked about waves. Oh that Barcomb: he's one of a kind. Bus ride: cool with Liz and Blake. Hahaha: I called Dominick's Driving school today so that he can give me some practice days to prepare for my road test on May 1st, oh boy: if everybody else failed three times before passing it I'm screwed but I'll try. Lol, I haven't driven a car since August...ay ay ay ay, how this will go? I don't know, I'll find out tomorrow cause my practice lesson is tomorrow after school.

Yay: Flight 93 and the Film Festival on Friday, should be fun =]

You make me happy, when I feel too much.
And when my hand are cold, you warm them up. 
And I'm not worried, when your not around.
And I hear symphonies...without a sound.
Without a sound.

The Orchestra concert was beautiful!!! The talent is simply amazing and I enjoyed every single second of it, although the Pirates of the Carribean score made me kinda dizzy lol. Congratulations Liz, Emily, Chris H and every single member of this great ensemble! You were all amazing!
