Sorry about the lack of post on Saturday, but numerous factors occured to prevent me from posting. The most notable one was the city of villains head start. (I apologize to the small number of people who do read my blog...)It doesn't help that each passing day I become less and less enthusiatic about everything, but I get that way in the winter time. Couldn't even pay attention in C++ today, not that it matters.
It's starting to get to the point where every single moment of life is just...I don't know. But I don't really feel... usefull to those around me. I kind of feel like... I don't know, stuff like my job (the one that counts) would be better off with a different IT assistant. Just, everything I do is not up to par, and I know this isn't the case, but I feel that every side conversation, spoken just out of my earshot, is about some negative aspect of my person. I know that's not the case. But I'm paranoid. And have high feelings of uselessness, and am incompetent, less than valuable friend, no. I'm not worthless or useless, why else would people pay me to work? I just have a really low value.
Picked up the civ four game today, along with Call Of Cthulhu for the XBox. When I picked them up this morning I was looking foreward to playing them tonight, but now all I want to do is curl up in a little ball and sleep. Or maybe not sleep. Just stare off against one of the walls in my bedroom. Then start a whole new day of trying not be in everyone else's way.
Speaking of games, I have been offered a weekend job for a local game store. It'd be a temporary position, just for the holiday time, but I'd be working at a game store durring the weekends. And yes, I was offered a job. The manager of the store, who I talk to frequently, thinks I'd be a good employee, that and I'm over 18. I don't know if I'd want to take the job, though. I mean, yes it's a video game job, but I don't know if I want to get back into retail. I know what customers are like from working in a grocery store, and I will not amuse myself into thinking that the video game clerk job would be different. I also know that I'll probaly be making minimal wage (or a little higher) when I could get a weekend job for something like Circuit City or Best Buy in their computer repair department. But it's not that. I told one of my friends (yes, one of my friends implies I'm not some sort of social outcast...) that I wouldn't like the job because I'd have to listen to people whine and complain about games I like (or compliment game I hate), but that's not the reason. I have no problem with that (okay, maybe a little, but not too much of a problem.) The major reason why I'd not want to work at the game store is, well, I get this feeling everytime I go there, the kind of 'I wish I could avoid this but can't' feeling that one gets everyday when they go to their job in the morning. And I don't work there. But once I get there, like the at a job, the feeling goes away as I talk with the clerks, or help out a little (ok, I do help out a little, just not a lot... ).I don't want to know what that feeling of dread would be like if I was working there. And it's not just that, either. I mean, the people there are excellent, fun loving people, and for the most part, so am I, it's just that... I don't know if I want to work in retail again. But I might have to if I decide to work in the video game buisness writing code. But, I guess either way...
Anyway, I have to go. I've kept the lab open for far too long as it is. ~Night~.

A long time ago...
I apologize for the amount of time it took me to post. I have not had the opportunity to log on for any good length of time, and as such, I did not get the opportunity to get on my blog.
My computer did not like me for about a week. Or more spevifically, one of it's RAM cards. It is really, reall, really, really annoying to not be able to play City of Heroes, or to be able to log onto my blog, or to be able to do anything computer related. The stupid malfunctioning RAM card prevented all of that. Random error messages would appear on my screen anytime I tried to do anything that required the information being written to the card. At first I thougt it was just a CoH error, so I contacted the NCSoft support group. They helped me with the issue, so at least that went well.
After the errors with the computer, the day after I finally got it set back up, hurricane Wilma made landfall. Luckily it hit south of me, about 120, 140 miles south, so all I recieved was 70 mile winds. Unlike those people down in Naples. I really hope that they are ok.
So after the hurricane hit, I spent the rest of that day (Monday)helping my father with his remodeling project. Yes, it's the same one that I was complaining about a few weeks earlier. This time, though, we have the interior almost completely finished, so instead of working on the drywall or the ceilings,I got to know the fun of molding. Molding is this type of really small board that is really hard to stain or seal? Put varnish on? Galk? one of those words? and is not user friendly. I spent almost all Monday doing that (I guess that's better than not having a home... stupid hurricane), and by the end of the day, my hands were really, really sticky from moving the boards around. Of course, it doesn't help that both of my sisters got out of the work. One, the one who tore her ACL, was able to leave like, 20 minutes after we started, and when she got home after she left, she mystriously vanished into the house. The other was working wiht me for almost the entire project, but when she had to go to work, she left the sceene fairly quickly, leaving me alone to finsh the task. Luckily, all I had left to do was the varnish? sealing? galking? part of the job, so I only had two hours worth of work left.
Then after that, I was able to write another story, this one about one of the characters in my supergroup. Don't worry, I will eventualy write about Ansha... eventualy. And if that character is ever played again...
I would have posted last night, but yesterday I realized that I had a math paper due today, so I spent that night at the local McDonalds, doing my math homework. I go there for one reason. All I can drink cafinee. When one starts the work at 8:30, and doesn't get finished until midnight, one needs all the cafinee they can get. Also, one of my friends decided (AKA, I was her ride home, so she was forced to) come with me. I am thankfull that she came with me, so...
But sometimes I wish I could spend less time with her. She's a good person, but she's really, bitter. There is this negative aura around her, as if the closer one gets to her, the less positive emotions one feels. But it's not really her fault for her bitterness. Two of her friends were murdered in less than a year's time. Her father abandonded her family when she was very young (I'm not one hundred percent certain as to the date of that...), and the rest of her family isn't, well, the best enviroment to grow up in. She has other issues in her past, too, but I'm not going to get into them here. I feel bad for her, I do, but she needs to have a more optimistic atitude on life. I try to raise her spirits, but that's not a long term solution. She needs to eventually realize that the best way to get back at the world, the best way to get revenge on on the world, is to be cheerful. I know I complain a lot in my blog, but outside of my blog, I try to retain a positive attitude. I know that only half the things one does in their life time is worth the effort one puts in, and none of the things one does is worth the time. This will happen regardless, so if one can make life more enjoyable by occasionally (key word there is ocassionally...) cutting a corner, well, one should try it.
Now that my computer is fixed, I was able to try out CoV. It's a fun game, a little more fun the CoH, but it is lacking in its evilness. Yes, beating up on rent-a-cops is fun, but the game's evilness is kind of like the punisher's evilness. And yes, I know the punisher is a good guy. Things that could make the game more evil would be to be able to harm (or at least have them run away from you) citizens of the Rogue Isles. Powers thatm when they affect an opponet, not only harms them, but also changes their animation (for example, if I were to debuff a rent-a-cop, their skin could turn paler, and they could age really quickly for the duration of the effect.)To be more evil, the game should also be less.... caring. The world needs to feel more oppressive. I do like the scenery in the game, but they need to increase that by a notch. They need to include more sinister sound effects in the game, like random screems of terror, and the echoing sound of gun fire. This needs to be random, not linked to anything.That would make the game a little more villainous. I can't think of anything else at this moment that would help, but I know there must be other things that could help to (adding elements of survival horror, maybe... making the melee grislier.... I don't know.)
Anyway, I need to get to class now, so I'll post tomorrow. Bye!

A fairly good day...
As the post says, it's been a fairly good day, despite the fact that, even though I deleted my CoH Test file and still recieved rights issues when I tryed to install CoH test and CoV, and despite the fact that, on Saturday, the latest hurrican is going to make land fall somewhere near tampa. But other than that, it's been a good day.
No, I'm not being sarcastic. It really was a good day. The entire day felt good. The weather was perfect, and the clouds were enough to prevent the sun from frying us, and sparse enough from freezing us. It was the kind of day I wanted to just blow off everything and spend outside. Of course, I'm not the type of person to just blow stuff off, so... stupid job.
My job went pretty well. We finally got our new server in!!! =) =) =). It's the one we've been waiting for for a week, when it should have been overnighted. We needed it last weekend, not this coming up weekend of hurricane goodness. My manager is not to happy with Dell right now (though I think they threw in an extra hardrive, since we only ordered 3 three and we have 4, maybe five, that came with the server.) I now have started a todo list for my work, too. I'm hoping it will increase my productivity, but that would require me to write new items on the list. It may also require me to stop procrastinating...
I need something good for halloween... something that will really be.... neat. I don't know what I want yet, and I don't have money for a costume, but I need a good costume. Something that will be cool, and gothish.... but not normal gothish... like pseudo-halloween, not so black.... gothish.
For the last hour, I was having some of the people in the lab listen to my music. Oddly enough, they don't like metal. And by they, I mean Mike. Mike is an intresting character. He's a cool guy, for the most part anyway, and kind of shares similiar intrestes with me, but he doesn't like metal. And he wears a kilt. Which is kind of odd, since all I can do is stare at his legs and want to shave them. They are really, really, really, really hairy. And a kilt shouldn't be combined with that. NO skirtish thing should be combined with hairy legs. It hurts one's eyes.
If my CoH problems aren't fixed...
Sorry about the lateness of this post. I started typing it up last night, but at the spot right before the line, Will called. So, instead of finishing up this blog post, I ended up talking to a friend who I' haven't talked to for 6 months. (OK, more like 3 months, but similiar thing.) And ya, he likes the rambling letters I send...
He says he's doing ok. He also says that the portion size of the food they get in the millitary is small, so he looks foreward to the one day a week when he can leave base for a little while and go to Wally-World and fast food places. He also says he wakes up at 4:15 every morning and goes to sleep about 9 to 9:30 every night. That must be difficult for him since, when he still lived down here, he went to sleep at 4:15 in the morning, and woke up about noon. Though he is saying he enjoys millitary life, so that's a definate sign of him snapping under pressure... ok, maybe it's not, but I can have my weird ideas, right?
Anyway, he gave me his email address, and says he normally checks it once a week. He doesn't have internet access at the base, though. What he has to do is to borrow access from nearby wireless networks which are not encrypted. So I probally won't be able to send him any big files. Of course, writing is rarely a big file, and a lot cheaper to do it over the net than over the postal service. I still plan on writing him, though.
As for ideas in my head, I'm thinking about getting a web hosting service, and putting my writings, and some sample music from bands I like, onto the web. Who knows, maybe I can even write up some really inefficent programs and put them one the ste too. But I don't know when I'd be able to do that, since I am currently low on funds.
I still can not wait until thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! =)

more time...
I got some sleep last night. Not much sleep, because of too much cafinee intake. I really do need to cut the amount of cafinee I drink. But it doesn't matter what time I have caffinee. I could have it at 5pm, and because of it, I won't be able to sleep until 3 am. Which really sucks when I have to wake up at 6am. Of course, it could be the amount of caffinee I have at that time. I like to get my money's worth from the little fast food place's refil center... >).
As for City of Villains, I am downloading the files as we speek on my home machine. I had to delete the prigg files, due to my computer being in need of a servere FDISKing, but not owning an external hard drive, I can only stare at it and wonder why the malicious coders out there, putting their viruses and spyware programs on various websites, hate me so much. It's not like I did anything to them, and I do really need to uninstall IE from my computer. Stupid IE pop ups. But I'd like to know how? How do I continue to get the IE pop-ups, when my default browser is firefox? Something that I do not get pop-ups in, and that I have set up to open all new windows in a new tab instead. So why?!
My friend did find a new job. She nows gets paid more, has weekends off, and will be able to take night classes. Also, she has to put up with a lot less stupid stuff. I hope she does well there.
As for my jobs, well... I'm strating to really dislike my lab job. The pay isn't that good, but considering that the lab has a lot of free time in it, that's not an issue. The issue is the time I work. I, like most computer people, hate waking up in the mornings. Espicially after little sleep. The job requires me to be here at 8 am. That's not a problem. The problem is the distance. It's 14 miles from the school to my house. And at 8am in the morning (err, a little before that), all of it is in rush hour trafic. Which meansit takes about an hour to get here (it's on the other side of the manatee river, which has two bridges going into town, both of which are backed up for a few miles.) On top of that, there is a coworker he I would really wish to see less of. I mean, he means well, and he's not a bad person, but he is one of the most annoying, arogant, self-righteous people I know. And he is always trying to give out his opinions. He means well through it all, though, so I don't have the heart to do anything more than just avoid him while trying to make it look like I'm not avoiding him.
Then there is my main job. It's not that I dislike it, in fact, I love the enviorment, the co-workers, and the challenges, but it's one of those jobs one needs to be fully awake to do. It's not like Albertsons, where one can be half asleep and not need to worry if one is fully functional. That, and there is a lot of repetition in the task I do. I can not tell you how many times I've reformatted and reset-up computers in that place. But it's a lot. And I kind of get side-tracked a lot. Like yesterday. I spent an hour of my time that could have went to doing usefull stuff (ie setting up more computers, or creating up new document templates, or figuring out why our server is so slow) talking to my manager about the x-box 360 and itunes. And, except with a few exceptions, I really like to get things done. Of course, one always needs time to just spend time idly, which is what the weekends are for.
As for what I have been doing in my spare time, well, that's simple. I've been reading a lot of stuff on the CoH forums. Which means my life has went from social outcast to umm... something greatly lower than social outcst...
Anyways, the lack of sleep is getting to me, so after my shift at the lab, I'm going to grab caffinee (it's a viscious cycle, really. I need to stay awake for most of the day, so I take caffinee, than I won't be able to sleep, so I'll need even more caffinee the next day.)Until the endo of my shift, I'm just going to phase out...

1AM on Sunday still means Saturday
Sorry the post is a little late. I created my schedule, and I should make a good effort to abide by it. It wasn't like I was doing anything important anyway today.
Kinda spent the entire day in a I'm not going to go anything type of deal. I probally logged more hours today in video game playing than I had in the past month. Unfortunatly, because of that, I didn't really log too many hours of writing time in. Also, if anyone knows, morrowind is a really long game.
Doing nothing but playing video games gets borring, fast. Kind of wish I had people to do stuff with, but, I mean, I just wasn't in the mood for dealing with people. Or at least, dealing with people I know. I mean, one needs to take a break from every thing famaliar, right?
I know my life is spiraling downward, for I spent a good deal of time at the local game store today. The people there are friendly and nice, and they remember me because I'm the only one who ever asks if they have a copy of Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire in yet. The only way I can get that game would be through a used copy, but I still have hopes for it. In case you don't know what Alpha Centauri is (or it's expansion pack, Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire), it's similar to Civilization, and made by the same person. It's a lot better than civ, though. A ton of a lot better. But civ is still an excellent game ( a lot better than Half Life 2...;) ). Anyway, since I waited so long to post, I am really, really tired...

Thomson = 3\/1L
Well, I guess the thing that needs to be covered first is the new change the CoH staff wish to do with their game. That is Enhancement Diversifcation. What it does is that, with like typed enhancements, it creates a law of diminishing returns so that the more of the same type of enhancement one has slotted, the less each additional slot helps. A lot of people are instantly against this idea, and I have read numerous posts from both sides of the argument, and have come to the conclussion that the only reason why the CoH staff introduceds ED into the game was to creat flamewars in their forums, well, that and to try to unbreak the game. Before I decided to cry doom, I'm going to first try the new rules.
Everyone's favorite lawyer from Miami is trying to get more attention. He's willing to write a check to a charity worth ten thousdand dollars if someone is willing to make his video game. The game he wants made is something similar to the mindset of a 6 year old. In the game Thomson wants made, the player takes on the role of an angered father whose son was killed because of video game related violence. So, as any logical (at least for Jack...) thought would have it, the player ends up going on a killing spree against various video game companies. Now, I want to try to understand Jack's reasoning. It is his contention (too big of a word for him... I'll use belief instead....) that video games are at the core of societies problems, and that playing such games teaches one to, I guess, kill others? Does that mean that a NASCAR game encourages people to drive at high speeds? Taking Jack's reasoning and applying it elsewhere, highway fatalities are all the fault of racing games. And what about the Mario games? Obvisouly, the only reason why people would use drugs would be because in Mario there are mushrooms and magical flowers. Although to normal people these ideas seem somewhat far fetched, Jack is not normal. At all.
But how does one stop a guy like Jack? That's an easy answer. Although he doesn't listen to facts or reason, Congress does. If the gaming community were to fill up Congress's email boxes with emails, all of which link to various studies that prove no corelation to video game violence and societies problems (or better yet, a negative (ie the more there is of one, the less there is of the other, correlation), along with vague promises of votes and campaign funding, Thomson's voice might begin to get rather small. Espicially compared to thousands (I'd say millions, but gamers are lazy...)of voices, all with hard proof backing them. Of course, this idea will have to reach more people than those who just read my blog.
Since EA is against Thomson, I might be more willing to temporaly stop my boycott of their company and somehow come to pocessing Black And White 2. But I don't know if I want to compromise my ethics like that. But if EA decides to go after Thomoson, then...
I finally upgraded my computer. I got a free RAM card, and slotted it in. Luckily, it was a gig of RAM, so I am very happy right now. Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very Very happy. Because now, my window's load screen is instant. Instant I say!!!!! I haven't tried out any software yet, but... =).
Apple has a new iPod. It comes in two colors (white and black), two sizes (30 gig and 60 gig), color screen, longer battery life than the previous generation, smaller, and can play video. VIDEO!!!!! VIDEO!!!!!!!!!. Of course, all the videos apple offers on iTunes don't attract me to purchase the new iPod, but if they started having subbed anime, I'd buy a new video iPod in a heart beat.
Not wanting a video iPod, I will have to think of something better to purchase. I really want to get the XBox360. I have seen trailers for the new perfect dark game, and I really want to play Oblivian. And, being the halo fan that I am, when Halo 3 (or will they call it Halo 360?) comes out, that'll be another reason to purchase the 360. Of course, being the respectable gamer that I am, I'll need to save up for the Wi-Fi, hard drive, bling bling version of the system.
Tonight, I get to go to a hockey game!!!! I'm not a big fan of sports, but hockey does hold a certain place in my world of entertainment. But not tv hockey. I have to be at the game. My sister, on the other hand, loves hockey. She has a shrine in her bedroom devoted to our local hockey team (the Tampa Bay Lighting!) and said that, if they hand out any free posters tonight, that I must give them to her. I don't know why I would give her a poster, but I really don't have need for one, so I guess if I get a free one, she gets lucky.
I'm tring to think of other problems in my life that I can ramble about ( =) ), but right now nothing comes to mind. Furthermore, I'm hungry, so =P.

From fuzziness to paper....
First off, I think I have a posting schedule. I think it may be a Monday, Thursday, Saturday type of posting schedule. Those would be the easiest days to post, and at least it would some how keep me on track. Or at least, I hope it would.
As for how life is, it's how it normally is. Tests in school. I got my calc test back, and I was able to get an 88%. Had I not done a lot of stupid little errors, I would have easily gotton an A instead of a B. I don't really care too much about letter grades, but when you're only 2% off, which was about one point, and you lost one point by not correctly changing signs.... As for other tests at school, tomorrow is my midterm for my Networking class, and today I had part one of my C++ midterm. I hope I did well on that test, and I really hope I didn't crash and burn like everyone thinks they did (notice they, not me. In fact, a lot of people people want to be in my group for the group project... I know C++!(kinda)) I really, really, really hope I do well on tomorrow's Networking midterm. I really want to do well in that course. As for my other class, my Human Relations class, it's not that great. It's the type of class most people would skip if they had they chance to. Unfortunatly, one needs to attend EVRY class to get an A... stupid teacher and his stupid rules.
I would have got some writting done this weekend had it not been for two things. The first was Wind Waker. I reloaded that game, and it's one of those very fun games to play that one doesn't realize how fun it is until they play it. It's like all the zelda games. It's not my favorite Zelda game. That I'd say would have to be either Link to the Past or Orcarania of Time. But it's still a good zelda game. Excepet I hate the fish in it!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stupid fish always gives me the wrong directions. Always! It's as if they have some hatred for me. Some deep rooted, must eliminate the playerness concept. They're evil.
The other reason for lack of writing is a simple one. We have some forien exchange students at our home (from The eastern part of Germany, I think), and they want to experince all of American culture. So, we live near (one hour away) Bush Gardens (the one in Tampa), and the students wanted to see an Ameircan amusement park. So we all drive there on Sunday, my father and I had to drive back because he forgot to record a football game (don't ask me why it was that important to watse all that gas, it just was.), so after I finally get to the park at noon, my family spilts up. My parents go off together, my sisters go off with themselves, their firends, and the exchange students, and I'm pretty much left with my self. And so I wander around the park for a few hours glaring at every single person because they have to be in their stupid groups, or they have to be in their stupid relationships. Unles one enjoys feeling completely alone, never go to an amusement park by yourself.
Speaking of which, there is this holloween event that is help every weekend in october. My family is going on Friday, but I am stuck in the lab. It would't be that bad if the rest of the school was open. Or if any other lab was opened. Or if they didn't lock up the tech building last Friday, with me still running the lab. One would think that, if the lab closes at 9, don't lock up the building it's in at 8. No. The people with the locking keys (real technical word there...) decided to lock up the building an hour before the lab closed. And they very well might do it again this Friday. Stupid lab.
Speaking of lab, this might be my last semester being the assitant in it. It's not that I don't enjoy being the lab aid, or that I don't treasure the time I spend on the computers, it's more to the lines that I like sleep. I dislike not being home for 13 hours a day. I know that if I get a job in the programming field, I'll probally being living a similar life style, but at least I might be able to do it all at night. Live at the place I code during the night, sleep at home during the day. For an exgoth, I still have a lot of goth habbits... hehe.
I have three letters I haven't sent to Will just sitting in my notebook. All are at least two pages long. I haven't sent them because I don't really know if he wants to read my letters. I don't think he wants to read them. I mean, they're kind of like my blog, but more rambling. I know it's crazy but, I just don't think he enjoys reading them. Of course, who would enjoy reading what I write. I mean, why should he enjoy my letters?
At least I always have a lot to say... anyway, it's closing time, so I have to get going. Night~Night!(new thingy for night night!! the ~ symbol)

emptiness
Right now I'm listening to the music from Nightmare Befroe Christmass. I really like the soundtrack from that movie, it has an excellent melody, and perfect music for both Holloween and Christmass. In case you're wondering, no I do not own the movie. In case you wondering, yes I do want to own the movie, along with the Corpse Bride, and along with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If anyone knows any other Tim Buton Movies, I'd like to see them.
Speaking of movies, Peter Jackson is making the new Halo movie =). I liked what he did with LOTR, so I'm looking forward to the new Halo movie. Of course, I also read the halo books and savaged all the story from the games that I can find, and contray to SOME people's belief, there is more story in Halo, and a lot more back story in Halo, than there is in the Half-Life series. I know I'm now going to gamer Hell for that herisy (dear god, only dial up connections!!!!! HELP!!!), but it's my belief. Now, I never said HL2's gameplay was worse, just it's story.
I need to create some sort of posting schedule for my blog. I kind of feel horrible when I don't post for long periods of time. It's not that my life is that intresting, it's just that if I don't post, I know I'll forget to write a lot of stuff. That, and I do know people who read it, and maybe posting on a regular schedule will help attract more readers.
I am so waiting for Apple's big announcement!! Two insider sources are giving differnt viewpoints. One is saying it's a Video iPod. This is backed by the fact that Apple has had their Music Video section under construction on their iTunes site. The other group says it's an 80 gig iPod. Since both sites are being sued by Apple for leaking trade secrets, it just might be an 80gig iPod that plays video!!! Which means I would have some small, easily pocketed thingy to carry all my anime with me. Or all my AMV's. Or... =)
Anyway, I am really tired. Not like fall asleep tired, but the next step after. The incoherent, loud type that can only exist with the help of way toooooooooo much caffinee, sugar, and neat music!

CoH You're the devil
I would have been productive on Sunday, I would have gotton more writtings done, but instead I logged into CoH and was off and on it all day. I'm on CoH all the time because I enjoy hanging out with my friends on the game, one of which (and you know who you are!!) has this uncanny habit of logging on right when I want to go to sleep. Of course, he lives in a differnt time zone (at least I think he does...), so we don't really get too much time to chat. Hopefully, one of my (RL) friends will be logging on soon. Like I said in previous entries, he joined the military, and by what I have heard, he may now actually be allowed to use a labtop on the weekends.
On top of that, myself and his sister will be picking him up Thanksgiving morning from the airport!!! =) =). He'll be home for thanksgiving!!!!!! =) =). I'm really, really, really happy about that. It's been a few months since I've seen him last. I think I'll bring a camera with me so that I can steal his soul (err, I mean, take his picture) when we pick him up. He's still in training, but at least he's out of boot camp. By what he has told me over the phone, and by what he has told me in his letters, they are training him to read maps. I'm not really sure where that skill would come in handy, but I really hope it's far away from the front line. It's not that I don't want him to serve his country. I don't think I've been more proud to be considered anyone's friend than to be his, and I think everyone needs to serve their country in at least one way or another in their life. I just don't want harm to befall him. But then, what do I know about it? I don't trust what the media says. They don't post for the purpose of telling the news, they post for the purpose of selling ads, and it's easier to do that by perverting the facts and telling half truths than it is to report all the news, and nothing but. How many times has the media reported on good news? How many times have they tried to make the community a better place, versus how often do they play on people's fears? Therefore, why should I trust the media? I try to trust my friends, I try to trust my family, and I try to give most people the benifit of the doubt, but outside of that, no. No trusting corporations, no trusting the government, and I am definatly not trusting any group that also makes its money on reality TV. Anyway, I just hope Will is doing OK.
Next up, I need to apologize for something. From now on, to post a comment, one has to use word verification. It's to stop ad software from posting spamm on the blog. I know that I love comments, and I know half of the comments I recieve are spamm (that's not many comments, considering the number of non-spamm comments.) but I dislike spamm, and unwelcomed advertising. Also, I would wish that someone would file a lawsuit against the various adware, spyware, and spamm companies for violating one's right to privacy. I understand that no violation has occured if one signs a clearly stated EULA, but in the drive by installations, and in the unwarnted spamm, well, the best defense is a good offense. Most computer attacks now a days are done for finacial purposes. Viruses that change one's browser's Home Page to their ad site to gain revenue by clicks. DNS Poising that redirect trafic to their sites to sell ads, all of it generated by financial gain. If one could hit them in the wallet, and teach them that they'll lose more money through lawsuits than they'll gain from underhanded means, than that'll put a stop to that. Or better yet, we could target those companies that, either directly or indirectly, use unwanted, insidieous adware as a means to advertise. Dry up their source of revenue, and the adware will also stop. Either way, to elliminate them, we must destory their reason to perpetrate the attacks.
Which is what we must do in Iraq to win the war. Take away their reason and will to fight, and one becomes the victor.
One of my friends lost her job recently. She use to work at Chilis, untill they fired her, for what she said, minor stuff. She's a full time college student and, until recently, a full time waitress. With a sister to support. I hope she can find a job, and a good one at that, soon.
Anyway, that's enough mad rantings for today. I have a Calc test on Wednessday, and a midterm in C++ next week, so I don't have too much time to spend rambling about crazy stuff online.

If one could hit them in the wallet, and teach them that they'll lose more money through lawsuits than they'll gain from underhanded means, than that'll put a stop to that. Or better yet, we could target those companies that, either directly or indirectly, use unwanted, insidieous adware as a means to advertise. Dry up their source of revenue, and the adware will also stop. Either way, to elliminate them, we must destory their reason to perpetrate the attacks.
Which is what we must do in Iraq to win the war. Take away their reason and will to fight, and one becomes the victor.
One of my friends lost her job recently. She use to work at Chilis, untill they fired her, for what she said, minor stuff. She's a full time college student and, until recently, a full time waitress. With a sister to support. I hope she can find a job, and a good one at that, soon.
Anyway, that's enough mad rantings for today. I have a Calc test on Wednessday, and a midterm in C++ next week, so I don't have too much time to spend rambling about crazy stuff online.
