Last week I went to a friend house for a week. One thing that I found out that these people hated staying home. Get in long enough to go to the bathroom and out the door again. Can’t sit down and rest for nothing until they got a new computer. Then it was hard to get them out of the house. Which is a good thing.
What is the surprising news is that for the first time in my 27 year history. I drink 4 beers and ate an entire thing of hot wings. This is one thing I have never done. I do not eat things with bones. It freaks me out but I plowed through these wings like I have been doing it for years. After the beers and trips to bathroom, the wings with blue cheese I was only a tad buzzed. It let me loosen up which is great.
Though when I got back, my computer started to act up. I touched my tower and the power supply decided to go ape shit. I had to replace it with one that I had in storage. It works fine but I still need a new one.
Mother was going to buy me a computer whens he got her income tax but the people who did her taxes in 2007 fucked up and filed twice that now the IRS wants mother to pay in this year. I think this is wrong because the tax return place messed up not mother. They should be paying to fix their mess. So I will have to save up more money and hope I can find one for cheep. There is a computer for $398 without a monitor that looks good.
Today I had my ISP come out to check my net connection because it was slugging along and not being able to receive a signal from them. The ISP technician changed out the splitter and a wire outside because it had water. Now my net is running good as ever.
Thats about it for the past week. Hopefully nothing bad happens again. People always tell me to look towards the future, be optimistic and things will get better. Only thing I say to this, we are born to die.
I have been thinking of going back to college. Not sure how I will be able to afford any of this. I can not even find a part time job.
So I have been looking at what I would like to study or do. I have always like history so maybe become a history major. On the other hand I could study anthropology. I find many subjects interesting but hopefully I can just get through college without any trouble. I was going to go to college for computers but even though I am always on the computer I want something more fulfilling inside.
Today I bought a RayVac usb battery charger. It came with two batteries but I thought I had proper batteries. So I slide two batteries in and an hour later I hear a hissing sound. I just looking around wondering where it is coming from then I smell something foul. I hear a loud pop and look down at the battery charger and liquid is pouring out of it. I was able to pull the charger out and get the batteries out putting them on my table beside me. Leaving a small brown spot where the batteries were. Thankfully myself, my computer or charger was not harmed.
This is no fault of the charger but my stupidity of putting in the wrong type of batteries. Next time I shall get the right batteries.
Yesterday my 11 year old nephew came over to use the internet so he can look up some cheat codes for some game. I quickly glanced over to see what he was doing and saw him inputing a cell phone number. Quickly I asked him to stop and asked why he was doing that. He said Don’t worry I am just getting my cheat codes and I done this before. I knowing that you do not need to input a damn cell phone number to get cheats codes I scrolled to the bottom and sure enough. A page and a half of blank page and then a very small fine print of this is a subscription based services. You will be charged $9.99 for this service. I told gage to never come to this site again and found a free “Gamespot” for some cheat codes. I informed his dad to cancel the server and inform his provider if they will putt a block on this type of service since some do.
These cell phone subscription things are beyond deceptive and right down theft. 10 dollars for some txt msgs? You can find almost anything for free on the internet. If a site asks for any personal information then be weary. Make sure you check out the fine print and the F.A.Q on the website. Even search other sources to see if the site is legit or not.
I have been having some wisdom teeth problems on my right side for some time now. The pain seems to come and go every few days. I need to go to a dentist and have them removed but that will be very expensive. I had my bottom left one removed and it cost 900 dollars. Yeah, the guy said he took payments then when we received the first monthly bill it was 300 dollars. They never told us that it would be that high and they told us before the surgery that the payments were reasonable. Yeah right.
I have not been sleeping well for the past few weeks. I normally go to bed around 10:00 pm but now I am staying up from 12:00-2:00 am. The only thing that is getting me to sleep is pain pills and orajel. I have been saving for a new computer and now I am going to have to forgo those plans. I will have to spend every cent I have to get surgery on my wisdom teeth. Expensive beyond what I can afford right now. I woke up few days ago shouting that I need to find a wife who has family dental insurance. -bats eyelashes- ladies .. ladies? Hey.. where you going…
A month or two ago I created a trial Guild Wars account for the hell of it. After the time ran out on it I did not bother with it until my Guild Leader went out and bought me the Guild Wars Trilogy for the trial account. Now I am playing through the game again because my main account has no more character slots. It gives me something to do.
I called at&t yesterday about my DSL sync issues. I did get a call center in India but I was for the first time able to understand that person very well. They did not ask me any of that bullshit routine read from prompter crap. Did you check this, did you check that. He just ran a few tests, called higher up tech and then issued for a truck to come out this morning. The repair man came out and rewired the box outside and seems to be working fine.
Though they have to send another one out tommrow because now my mothers room no longer has a dial tone. I got some woman at a main call center this time. Very prompt and quick. Surpised me too. At&t normally does not have a good rep on call center support but I think it went well.
I was messing around and created these. My favorite is Swirl 3D Ice. Which one do you like? I do have some more artwork I did with just a pencil and a ruler which I call Ruler Drawings. I did some computer art some years ago making a Queen shape. It is on my deviant art page and I will load that later. Tell me your favorite. Enjoy!
I have been needing some new headphones for my ipod because my last set kind of got wonky on me. Left ear piece stopped working and I really do not like the half plug things. I get these headphones from a survey site that I take surveys for. This place gives you points that you can spend on gift cards or items. The headphones I got were in the 3k points bracket which I think is the $25 gift card. I got the MDR-J20 Sony headphones which I think are $15-20 but if you add shipping then I think it evens out.
I did not look at the directions because who looks at directions for headphones seriously? Though I was like how the hell you put these on. After a minute I looked on the box and then said “Damn I am stupid”! I put them on and plugged into my ipod and low and behold these things are not half bad. Was using them for an hour before my ipod needed some juice. Charging . . . Charging . . . HURRY UP ALREADY.. Ok my fault for not charging it earlier.
I really enjoy the headphones that hang off my hears instead of the plugs. Easier to run that way I think. New poem on Allpoetry if anyone wishes to read it. Link is over to the right in My links –>
Today I was remembering old games I use to play and I thought of Darkstone. A pc game back in the 90′s. One of the main parts I remember is this song.
I really enjoyed this song. I never finished the game though. I got to the last boss and could never figure out how to kill it. I learned some year later how to kill the boss but by that time I lost my pc copy of the game.
There is also another part that I enjoy and think of. Is one of the opening cinamatics of the game where Drac the boss transforms into a dragon. I’m such a geek :/
Every once in a while I find some really good future tech that interests me. I believe these blocks have the potential to be great. Do not take my word for it, watch the video and see for yourself.
Yesterday my brothers wife was ran off the road by some blue truck. The drive of the truck ran off without stopping. My brothers wife is ok with a few bumps and bruises. Her black jeep though, its front end is damaged. Some if it will need to be replaced to be drivable. It was a nice jeep to and my brother really does not have the money to fix it. Will take some time for them to get the money together. Even on top of this, the wreckers charged my brother 200 dollars to take the jeep less then 3 miles to my house where he is storing it until it is fixed. Sad uh?
Now good news then. Today I received an email that I had won a raffle. This is part of the online surveys I do for extra cash. I won a 50 dollar Amazon Gift Card. I already spent it. I bought Outlaw Star complete, Titan A.E. and Blue Submarine #6. It was a total of around 65 dollars so I did have to spend 15 dollars of my own money but still not bad. I also got the free shipping deal Amazon offers so I did not have to spend money on the shipping. It will take longer to get here but I am in no hurry. I have already seen those three anime. I own the VHS version of Titan A.E.
I also did some work for 12Comics.com I do some stuff for them from time to time. Upload images, take comics and upload to scribd and other website duties. I get some cash and that helps me out a lot because I am still looking for a full time job.
A friend I play Guild Wars with told me she is going to go to Game Stop and pick me up a copy for my Trial account I started. I told her she did not have to but she insisted because of all the help I give her. ^^
A lot to type and was all over the place but just typing out my daily life.
I have been running out of storage space on my computer. I need to get an external hard drive but I do not have the money. I have been using some blank dvd-r’s to burn some of my files so I can free up some space. Taking a lot of time.
I was looking for some anime to watch and I found a favorite of mine. Trinity Blood. A decent vampire flick that I watched on TV. Never got to truly finish watching it, so now that I was able to borrow a copy I can finish watching it. I was also looking for a good mech series and someone pointed out Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Never heard of this anime before and I have not read a summary of what it is about but I will watch this in a few days.
