Yeah, I have more expierence 'managing', and i like marketing better, so I figure the education there, combined with the experience in managing should work ok. I'm trying to find a good university that offers an 'online' program that I can work with. We shall see.

Ebay is pretty random to the ads they send out. I can be looking for xbox games, sci-fi books, and electric guitars, and they will send me adverts for dolls or toasters. weird.

I'm sure that will work. Both are closely related, since marketing basically is managing most of the time. I wish you good luck with that.
I'm about to completely discard my current term paper. It's good, and it has the potential to be excellent, but that's not good enough for me. My last one really impressed my prof, and I want to top that. As it is, I'm sure it'd become an 'A', but only in the sense of "very good work" and not "extraordinary work which undoubtedly and completely deserves the highest mark" as was commented on my last one. I think I know how to repeat or even top that, but that requires a complete new approach on my topic.
I'm glad I finally have a bit of passion and ambition for my studies.
Hey, always aim high!! Thanks on the luck, Per. Game on!
Some days, it's hard to so awesome, huh?

They're funny. But I'd like to see an example where such laws were enforced. Of course using missiles on vehicles would get you arrested, but eating ice cream on the sidewalk!.. No one is going to believe that. Some of these laws are ancient and may never have been enforced.

They are all unbelievable. All (these formulations of) these laws are beyond any form of logic.
It actually was: "In Colorado it's against the law to throw missiles at cars".
So, shall I throw a missile at a bicycle then? Shall I throw a handgrenade at a car? No prob!
"In Alaska it's illegal to push a moose out of a helicopter." Well, then I'll push a moose out of a plane.
Or push a bear from a helicopter. No problem!
In Kansas I will hunt horses from motorboats, in Maryland I'll take a hippo to the cinema and in North Dakota I will dance with pants on my head. In Minnesota I will cross the border with a duck on my head and in Florida I will keep an elephant on the roof of a building.

And there's not one ridiculous law like that on the books in Holland? I'm sure there is. Hell, Keelhaulin'! was on the books there until the late 1800s. All democracies have crazy crap like this. In my town, it is illegal to have loud noises above a certain level after 11 PM and before 8 AM. Except for the sound of live bagpipes.

I don't care where a law is from, as long as it makes sense or in this case: no sense.
If I knew such a Monty Python kind of 21st century law in Holland (or any other democratic country), I doubt if I would be so amazed by such as these. I'll be the first to post one here if I can find one of this level.
Well, what would you rather your elected government do: work on the deal of the day, or work on repealing old laws that aren't enforced?
