It’s kind of odd for me to post such a trivial rant, especially given my circumstances. But I thought I’d take a break from worrying to get my thoughts out.

I was reading some reviews for Genesis albums, and Phil Collins’ albums… just dabbling around a few websites here and there. And many thoughts conjured up as I read them.

Now this sucks. The landlord here is basically making us sell this place to him (Likely for a cheap price that we can’t live on…) because he wants to use this land to build bigger homes. Now I can understand his business sense, but this is ridiculous. What if it’s not enough money for us to find a new place? Will we have to rent. My dad’s credit is FUBAR, and I’m not going to get myself into any trouble.

I’m wondering what legal leg we have to stand on, if any. If they offer us a price, I wonder if we could say “no” unless they offer us something higher, or are we forced to take whatever they give us? I’m so scared of being homeless now, again…

EDIT: Well, we’ve been told we have to sell it and be out by 3/31. Happy April Fool’s day it will be! :(

My birthday is this Sunday, and I’ll be 21. I’m not planning on getting crispy (the operative word being planning.) I don’t have a centralized wishlist, but there are a few things I’ve wanted that I hope I can get

Well, you may notice a few new posts are missing… I’ve moved webhosts, and this is the last backup I have that works.

Oh, and happy birthday blog… one year old today!

or Happy whatever-inferior-holiday-you celebrate ;)

If you want a more insight into my life and what’s going on with me, have a look at my 43things progress.

Why does it seem that bad things happen in a compressed fashion rather than a bunch over time.

Well, it started with this morning… First, I wake up, and I am SOOO DEAD TIRED. Even more than usual. I’m trying to think of what to do this morning, but the stupid cat is meowing its ass off right on the other side of my wall.

And work was no fun. It seems that there’s a whole folder missing, and the boss JUST SO HAPPENED to want that folder. So I had to search for an hour all over, but I couldn’t find it. And general rapid-fire stress throughout the day.

Oh, but the worst part. Time to go home. “YAY!” right? Wrong. I call my dad to see when he’s picking me up, and he just so happens to point out to me “Me and your mom are arguing.” “FUCKING WONDERFUL! JUST WHAT I WANT TO HEAR RIGHT NOW!” In the back of my mind I was There goes all my relief. What happened this time, I wonder? He picks me up and goes on with the following fun nuances:

• “Me and your mom are breaking up” Wow, I heard this one before.
• “She’ll be a really happy person when I die” Drag me through the mud. Depress me more.
• “I was telling her that she nitpicks too much, and she went ‘I don’t nitpick’, and I siad ‘that’s not what Sean thinks’”. DON’T TELL HER I SAID THAT SHIT! You know how extreme she takes something. She probably thinks I hate her or something. (Oh, and she did take it that way. Apparently, she’s now acting spiteful towards me… She’s saying everytime she tells me to do something, I get mad (untrue)… and that I was getting pissed because she told me to “brush my teeth” this morning (which I did, but not to her, I was already having a crappy morning, see above). and to top it off she tells me and my dad “Screw you”

That’s it, up until now.

Bleh, and my sister’s birthday is tomorrow and I don’t ahve anything for her. And I especially don’t feel like going anywhere after today. Why do these things have to fall into place like this? It’s like the worst luck possible.

I wish I had more to blog about, but I don’t… deal with it…

I just recently ordered this RAM to replace my current crap-tastic RAM…

Regarding college…. I’ve been looking at TCC and ComputerTraining.com has been trying to get me, but I doubt I will be going to them if the finances don’t work out. Hopefully, I can get some good news at the information seminar next week.

Hi, I know it’s been a long time since I’ve posted… so here are some updates:

• I got a raise at work (yay)
• I’m probably going to take a class or two at the local community college this January
• I don’t seem to have any time to work on my designs, or this website, or any other things… what with work, trying to relax and keep my sanity, and doing my other hobbies

NOTE: I’m using Flock to post this.

My Kingston DDR400 RAM crapped out last night, so I filed an RMA request to get a new one. I just have to package it and ship it from work. I’d rather just get another stick of RAM,  particularly something I can overclock better.

Nerd Porn Auteur (mp3, which means it will play sound!) from Ernest Cline

It’s so true. Why is porn directed towards men who can get laid easily anyway? And why are the women soo incredibly horny in these movies. Women with class and intellect are WAY more attractive than some dumb bimbo whose eyes bulge at the sight of cock.

They could cash in on a totally new market this way!

Human Virus Scanner

Viruses you suffer from:

Linux

Install the latest version of Microsoft Windows. Learn to love it.

Junkfood

Eat some real food. Something which you can identify the source of every ingredient, not the point of manufacture.

Sci-fi

Stop wearing the stick-on ears.

Free BSD

The GPL isn’t that bad really. Adopt a penguin at the zoo.

UNIX

Anything this old must be obselete. Go and install a nice modern operating system. I hear MSDOS has come a long way lately.

Windows

Try MacOS X. It’s based on UNIX, it has a smoother UI than Windows and it doesn’t suck.
As an extra feature the boxes look nice.

vi

Escape Meta Alt Control Shift.

Politics

Stop caring!

Brand Names

Having a well-known name doesn’t make it good.

Computer Games

Stop staring at the screen and get some fresh air. You should see a doctor about the RSI in your thumbs.

Environmentalism

Consume more stuff! It’s easier to buy new stuff than to recycle.

Macintosh

Use a mouse with more than one button.

Viruses you might suffer from:

USA (80%)

Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves! [repeat]

8-Bit (90%)

Polygons, all the polygons you can get are not enough.

Religion (60%)

Read “God’s Debris” by Scott Adams (yes, the Dilbert guy)

Discordia (80%)

Buy a suit. Invest your money. Eat hotdog buns on a friday.

X11 (60%)

I hear Mac OS 10 Aqua is nice at this time of year.

Conspiracy Theory (67%)

Face it, the elected government is in control. Actually that’s quite scary.

Hippyism (60%)

Free love is passe and potentially dangerous, and patchouli smells like cat piss.

Prog Rock (60%)

Long hair looks dumb with a bald spot. Listen to CD’s they don’t crackle.

Huh, a python explodes after eating an alligator.

From the bad news department once again (yay) A list of stuff that really makes me wanna bash my head in with a hammer…

• My parents have been going to church lately… I am not religious and do not go, and this makes me feel very awkward. Tonight they’re going to get “saved”
• What really irks me is that my dad was talking all religious to me in the car on the way home. Way to make me feel uncomfortable.
• My dad’s boss also shorted him on his paycheck (such a nice guy! Sometimes I want to strangle him even though i’ve never even seen the man), this means that our cox cable internet bill can’t be paid… and they’re very likely to cut us off in the next couple days. YAY! Society is trying once again to keep me off the one medium where I can vent and where 95% of my friends are. Thank you, heartless fucker!
• I see the one girl I like at the mall with her boyfriend… just when I was going to muster the courage to ask her out!
• My sister’s boyfriend HAD to remind me that my dad has sleep apnea and that he’s dying. Thanks bud! Way to make me feel better! As if enough shit hasn’t been piled into my head

Thanks for reading this. Comment if you like, please.

I’m going to try Dreadnought demo. It is specifically designed to run well on an AMD64 processor, which I do have.

Hmm, I also think I might have a cavity. bleh
