New Vise

I have found a new vise--as if I don't have enough of them already...--and it is a flash game called Crash. The instructions are all in Japanese so you sorta gotta learn the way works by trial and error, but it is awesome! My top score so far is 6879.45 m. Let me know if you get better :-P. Anyways, I'm outa here. Blessings.

Oh, might as well throw in the free ipods thing again for good measure. Just think, if people would sign up for this then I wouldn't keep bugging you all...lol. Anyways, have a great day and all that jazz.

I Want to be a Professional Burger Flipper!

OK, so I really don't wanna be a professional burger flipper. However, I would love it if I just never had to do homework again, or anything else that I really don't wanna do. lol, somehow I don't think that that's ever gonna happen. Oh well, such is lfe I guess. Anyways, just thought that I'd drop a quick entry before I go off to study for my test tomorrow. I'm gonna put in a movie that I've already seen and laugh and learn all at the same time because I just can't stand to be to focussed right now...yeah.

I will admit that this entry was not just to let you know how bad of a student I am. It is also to let you know how horrible I am as a person by once again posting a link to free ipods because I really want to get one of these things. Anyways, have a great day and all that jazz. Blessings

Long needed update

I really have no clue why I haven't updated my blog in so long. I haven't had all that much going on other than homework and what not and really that hasn't even been worse than normal. I guess I just have not had all that much to update with. Well, that's really not even the truth because there has been quite a bit that's gone on during this month. So, maybe that's the case. I've had so much stuff going on that somehow I didn't think that a blog update would do it justice or something. I do know what actually spurred me out of my complacency though. I got an e-mail today saying that someone had written a comment. I read it and found that it was actually some spam. I don't know why this made me want to update other than perhaps to complain about spam getting onto my blog. Anyways, enough of the rambling of the psycology of the possiblities of why I have not updated my blog in so long and onto the actual update.

There has been quite a bit that went on during the past few weeks. I think one the the earliest things is when Rob invited me to go to a bonfire type deal with him and his wife. I was one of the younger people there but it was still cool because there was smores and food and all sorts of good stuff. Plus the people were fun, and on top of all of that there were even a few guys that knew how to play the guitar and banjo and we had some good bluegrass music going down. It was pretty sweet. After the bonfire, Rob and I grabbed my computer from the dorm and took it to his house and proceeded to install Gentoo on it. He, being the profient person that he is, even bothered to custom build my kernel for me. Only bad thing about it is that for some reason my mouse doesn't seem to work right. I have never had problems with it before and the mouse that I was using at Rob's worked fine as well but nothing that I do seems to make my mouse work correctly. It's really quite frusterating and I'm thinking of just going out and buying a cheap mouse because I really want to be running Gentoo.

While we're on the topic of computers, I will also mention that last night I completely jacked up my Mandriva partition. I unistalled Open Office and then for some reason it wouldn't reinstall. So I decided to try to just reinstall the whole thing. For some reason my install disk was giving me errors and I decided just to install the new Mandriva 2006 from an FTP source since they don't have a full installation disks yet. Well, everything seemed to be going fine but for some reason the new Mandriva 2006 doesn't have built in support for my video card, even though 2005 did. I have the file that's supposed to build support bur for some reason my ethernet connection isn't being recognized so I don't have the internet and I can't seem to build the file from source either so I'm stuck with a Mandriva installation that I can't use X-windows in (because my video card's not recognized) and that isn't even connecting to the internet. *sigh* So at the moment I'm having to run windows--I hate Windows--becuase neither my Mandriva partition nor my Gentoo partition are working correctly.

What else has been happening other than more and more computer woes? Well, I applied for a job at Radio Shack. I wish that I could say that more happened other than me applying but the guy that interviewed me told me that if they were interested in employing me that they'd be in contact with me by Monday and it's Friday and I haven't heard from them yet so I'm kinda guess that I didn't get the job. Which really kinda sucks because I would have loved to work at Radio Shack. I've actually thought that it'd be cool to work there for quite some time *sigh* such is life I guess. I do need to get a job though because I really need some income.

Update on the whole chat room deal. I'm still going in there but it is not as addictively consuming as it was. I have actually met some pretty cool people in there and even one person that I was gonna get together with in real life to hang out with for a bit but so far all our attempts have been thwatted. First because I went to the wrong Starbucks, the next time because she got called into work the day that we were gonna get together, and the third becuase she got into a car accident the night before. Oh well, such is life I guess.

Give or take quite a bit, that has been my life that last few weeks. There was a lot more but I have decided that this is a good cutoff point and that I want to go and get some food. You all have a good one and hopefully it won't be another 3 weeks before I update again. God bless and peace out.

Priorities have been a bit out of wack...

My priorities have been a bit of out wack the last few days. (I'll bet you never could have guessed that from the title.) I have sorta been neglecting homework and not even for anything as noble as friendship--I have no problem what-so-ever with putting friends above homeowork. However, that has not been the case. I have been neglecting my homework by watching TV and chatting online. While these two things are fun and can be OK in moderation, when I spend 6 hours logged into a chat room I think that it's a sign of a problem. So, starting today until at least Monday, I am not allwoing myself to log into a chat room and am planning on severely limiting how much time I allow myself to talk to people online. If any of you see that I'm not idle, feel free to drop me a line and try to help me keep to this commitment. Chances are that I will merely be responding to an IM that someone sent me, but I will thank you none the less.

OK, so other than spending way to much time chatting, I am skipping Analyitical Chemistry today. This is a direct result of me not getting my homework done for Spanish because I spent the entire afternoon chatting yesterday. Yeah, it's really out of hand. Not a good reason to not get my homework done at all. So I guess this paragraph really wasn't something other than me chatting...oh well, such is life. Besides, this is my blog and I can do as I please :-D. Yah don't like it, make your own.

Well, I'm off to get my homework done now. All you who actually find my life semi-interesting, I'll never know what makes it so, but thanks for taking an interest. Blessings.

Poetry and an update

Here's a bit of poetry to start us off, I call it Ode to Caffeine:
Caffeine is great
Caffeine is good
though not everyone drinks it
I think everyone should

It helps you to think
it keeps you awake
unlike some other drugs
the mind it does not bake

I will admit
it can be an addiction
if you don't believe that
then your beliefs are pure fiction

Regardless of downfalls
let's give it a break
because caffeine is good
and caffeine is great.


See what happens when you're drinking coffee and a bit board (or trying to avoid doing homework)? Hehehehe. OK, so now I'm gonna try to give an update of what's happening.

I'm currently chatting, writing a blog update, watching a movie, and "doing homework" at the same time. Watching the Pelican Brief, which I bought at WalMart yesterday for $5. I fell victim to a marketing scheme where they put cheap stuff at the front ofthe store and expect you to say "hey, it's just $5". *sigh* Oh well, it is a good movie so I guess I don't feel to bad about it.

The concert choir (which I'm in) performed at a centenial celebration of a local church. It went OK, but it would have been nice if we had the songs memorized. Such is life. Next time I need to make sure I get a bit more sleep before a concert and also that I'm a bit more hyderated because my throat was kinda dry and I had a bit of flem...since I knew you all wanted to know that. I also need a bit more practice on one of the pieces. That one is all my fault though.

There might be some other stuff that would be interesting, but I'm gonna keep it at that for the moment because I've got other stuff to get done. Hopefully, I'll stop being so stinken lazy and start updating this more regurally so I don't have to try to fit everything in in one post. Until next time, may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and may He give you peace.
