Well, first off, I'd like to apologize for my most recent post and the lack of post before that. Both were due from a combination of apathy, weariness, CoH, and happy thoughts. Most of today was filled with those happy thoughts, too, but I'm feeling a little better now.
Anyway, a lot did kind of happen yesterday. I saw punisher yesterday. It was OK, but seemed to be more of a low budget film then anything else. I helped one of my friends set up his computer. He got an external harddrive to back up all of his old information, than we deleted and repartiioned his Hard Drive, reinstalled windows, put on ALL the windows updates, installed antispyware, the works. I think I'm going to try to rely on computers less for my entertainment now. It's not that I don't enjoy gaming, it's that it now reminds me of my job. Not that I don't like my job, it's just that no one wants to be stuck at work.
As to the hurricane, Yes I know Denis is coming. No, he won't hi the tampa bay area, yes I know it hit catagory 5 before striking cuba. I now work in an insurance company, so I hear about it a lot. That and my manager wasn't too happy friday (yesterday) becuse he was suppose to be in the keys...
It's not that I dislike my job, it's just that it doesn't feel right. It doesn't feel like something I'd want to spend my life doing, or what I was put here to do. It just doesn't. I don't know what I'm meant for, and I don't like thinking about it, for then my thoughts linger to the fact that so many people need to keep satistics accurate, and that the suicide rate in the US is about 30,000.
Anyway, today has been fun. We got most of what hurricane dennis will deal to us today, including a few hours with out power. Tomorrow is my sisters' Birthday, but since they're leaving for some sort of volleyball camp thingy, we celebrated it today. My gift to them was Norton Internet Security Suit. I think they liked it, but I'm not sure.
I put Napster on my computer. No more illegale downloading for me! (yar). I wish the supream court did not side on the side of the music companies. I know music ARTIST (and not blod sucking recording companies) have a right to have compensation for their music, and I respect that right, but shpuld it be at the cost of slowing technical advancement? I mean, who knows what type of file sharing programs that could have been develpoeted not for copyright infringement, but for office use, and home use. Now, though, companies won't develpoe such programs for fear of copy right infringement. Surly the music industry could have thought of some better method to continue to make profits then by suing children and slowing technological progress (I know, I know, let's incourage music advancement! But all the music I like is from countries with less stern copyright laws, like Italy, Germany, and I'm not sure, but I think Japan has less stern copyright laws then we do.) Tomorrow I have a free day, so I might spend it on my computer writting. I might actually do a fan fiction of my CoH alter ego, Kalda Centauri. If anyone has a good idea for which villian group I should go against, give me an idea, else I'll be going against either the Hellions or the Valhazics. Anyway, I have to get going, night!

Japan actually has harsher laws for copyrights, in a way. Without bothering to research this for accuracy, I can tell you that despite the preponderence of copyright flouting doujinshi, companies have few issues with copyright control as opposed to the US obsession. 'Dosh de?', you say? Well, that's because in Japan you don't lose ownership over things you create, i.e. entering into public domain, which I don't even know if they have or not. In the US, you can lose ownership like 'that' if you don't protect it. Weird, huh?
Other Notes-
Write your story, for semi-great justice.
I liked The Punisher, though I had played the game before I watched the movie, and since the game is gangsta, I imagine that made me like the movie, though only parts of it are good.
