Age Regression

So last night me and a couple of my friends went to town again, like we usually do on the weekends, and we drove around trying to find something to do or look at and even though its one of the biggest cities around here it sucks, everything closes to early and cost to much.....so after a few hours of trying to figure out what to do and watching douche bags walk around with girls that ill probly never get, because this country is so f#$ked up, we drove home......but instead of callin it a night we did somethin i havent done since i was in junior high....i have this trampoline in my back yard, ive had it for like 10 years, and we decided to try it out to see if it would hold roughly 600 pounds of bad idea......it held up pretty good and it was more fun than trying to find somethin to do in a shitty town, so while we were playin "popcorn"(one guy curls up in a ball while the others try and bounce him high enough to "pop" (`em open), travis was the "kernal" we bounced him a few good times........then we spiked him to about eye level and when he came down again, 4 spings snapped, ripping them from the material, and leaving enough slack for his tailbown to slam into the ground......it was the funniest thing ive seen all month, so if you and your friends are bored i recomend playin popcorn on a trampoline......p.s. travis was ok, no broken tailbone

Been a while....nice guy rant

well, its been a while since my last post, so I figured i'd write one.....not much has been goin on lately, but I have been trying to figure out what the hell girls want....I mean i've been told by so many girls all the bad stuff that they hate about their boyfriends and I, being the kinda shy person wanting to jump in on the dating game, listend to this and have been trying to be as much the opposite thinking this is what girls want, a guy that they can say good things about.....but, apperently thats not what they want, that is their deffinition of a friend....ive played this game for so long, i meet a girl and we start talkin and I think things are goin good and she seems to like me, but at some point when she figures out that I actually like her, she tells me she doesnt feel that way and then she moves away.....ive read many different things about this and it just gets very confusing, and ive just decided......you have to be a dick to get noticed, you have to be rich and kinda gay looking for them to be attracted to you, and if she ever does end up liking/dating you, you must continue to be some ratio of dick to nice guy in order for it to last.....why cant a guy just be himself and tell a girl he likes her without her gettng all freaked out....(oh, your like a brother to me, i think we should just be friends.... ) i mean, give a nice guy a try, he may not be ripped, or the most popular, or the piece of $hit your used too.....but at least he'll respect you, treat you like a person, and show you a good time.....but I guess that is just how things are and thats how they are gonna stay. I hate cable tv

Cable Sucks

So i was watchin a little TV today and after watching a few shows and flippin through the channels I started to notice how bad Tv has become since I was little. all of the good cartoons have been canceled and replaced with dramatic teenage sitcoms with no originality. The more adult stations like comedy central, sci-fi, or real.....have so many commercials selling useless products and services, like weight-loss pills, and cheap plastic devices that will give you "lean toned hardened muscles in three weeks" , all of the pills they advertise, and most of all, since its now a law that you must have car insurance to drive, we have to see all the damn car insurance commercials(and i have no idea who their target audience is there, no teenager is gonna find those stupid "esurance" commercials to be cool). Its getting ridiculous. One of the much more irritating things i have noticed is the painful increase in volume when certain commercials air. Then i noticed its not just tv thats gotten bad either, the news advertises the "worst" news as the top stories. You don't usually see something good on the cover of a newspaper anymore, its usually a car accident or how much more gas prices are despite any change of anything, (personally i think somebody's milking this gas bull for all were worth). magazines talk about the latest celeb drug/sex gossip......what happened to the encouraging cartoons that disney use to make or the good news making the cover story, or when magazines use to talk about all the great movies that good actors where in......."my o my how the times have changed"....

New Laptop


So i got a new computer the other day. It is an Asus EEE laptop. For those who have not heard of this yet, it is a new laptop that Asus has built to be cheap, ultra portable, and easy to use. When I opened the box, I was pretty happy to see just how small this thing was, it makes regular laptops look like monsters. Its just a little to big to fit inside of a "leg pocket" of a nice pair of cargo pants....but anyway, I purchased the 4G (which means it has a 4 gig hard drive) which seems pretty small, but it has a SD card slot for more storage space. It also has built in wi-fi, a web-cam, web-mail/e-mail checker, instant messaging, games, office software (open-office), firefox web browser, and several other niffty programs. The O.S. is a modified version of xandros (Linux instead of windows), and dont let that turn you off. It uses a desktop manager to make everything easy to use and operate, and because it is Linux it will boot in ~15 sec. and can be sold much cheaper than an equivalent pc with windows. However it can be installed with windows XP if you must have it....the user manual has a step by step process on how to do that.
PROS.- very small/light
- fancy little OS with pretty good hardware support(printers and such)
- fairly reasonably priced
- good for making your friends jealous
CONS.- personally I could use a little more battery life(mine runs 3.5 Hr.)
- can get a bit warm/hot sometimes(not scary hot yet)
- ive had a little bit of trouble connecting to networked computers(to share files/printers)but that might be unrelated to the laptop

Overall 8.5 outa 10

Stressfull Day


well, today was a bit stressful to say the least. we received 5 pc's yesterday to be custom built, and after building them we hooked them up to get windows loaded on them..... unfortunately only one of them worked. come to find out, of the 5 pc's 3 of them had faulty BIOS chips, 1 simply would not boot at all and instead would just make multiple long beeps (most likely bad mobo), and the last one luckily seemed to work fine. So we ordered some new boards from a different company with our fingers crossed. Another thing that really bothers me at the shop is...... no matter how hard it is raining, some people find it absolutely necessary to bring their computers into the shop dripping wet( with no cover or plastic bag over it). which means if they just brought it in for a quick software fix and the rain water (unnoticed) fry's their mobo they will blame us for it. anywho this is my first post and i intend to post some more so feel free to comment....
