life
my diploma and transcripts finally came in the mail today.

i only made the dean's list 3 semesters out of 8. but i graduated from both the college of liberal arts and sciences and the honors college in good standing, fulfilled all the requirements for the film and video major, and finished with 121 credits and a 3.364 GPA.

which means, basically, that i spent the last 4 years of my life spending thousands of dollars and hours upon hours on 4 sheets of paper telling me ... what?

that i still have to shovel dirt for a living, and not even manage to scrape by without a lot of financial support from friends and family? funny though, the papers don't say anything about that part. They honestly paint what, to the untrained eye, would be a picture of a successful young man with a bright future and a world of opportunities. when in actuality he is just a loser with no real job, a fair amount of debt, not a lot of excitement, and way too many nights - and days - stuck at home to sit and think. that's a very dangerous place to put a mind like mine. it rarely goes happy places. honestly, the only way my brain seems to be able to keep itself happy is when it has plenty of distractions, and people to entertain. otherwise, it just turns dark.

then again, maybe i just feel dark because it's all rainy and miserable outside. i wish it would just fucking storm. that would be a lot more exciting than this drizzly crap.

Last night I had the time of my life, and I broke out of my shell a little bit..
I don't EVER dance, because I have no rhythm, and I just feel awkward when I try..
But I danced A LOT last night..
And had a blast.. there were several pictures taken.. i have some posted on facebook.. but there are some that are better left off the internet.. lol

I wonder what is in store for the rest of the weekend!!

Dark Knight Plot Hole?
Everyone remembers when Dent says that he is Batman on TV, well why is that people automatically believed him? Was it because the two were never seen in the same place at at the same time? Believable but a very weak argument. But I can nearly guarantee that they have been seen in different places at the same time. Think about it, a politician running for office is bound to go to a few evening fundraisers, and I say a few loosely, whereas Batman's hours of operations are during that same time frame.

So why did Gotham believe him? Well I think it has to do with mass media, and if this was Nolan's intentions well he is certainly one of the most brilliant filmmakers of our time. A well groomed man in a suit with a smiling face says something outlandish on television and people believe it, no matter how absurd it may be. Everyone believes it because they are being told by every media outlet that it is true.

Shadow on the Sun - Audio Slave
Read more..
I can tell you why
People die alone
I can tell you why
The shadow on the sun

Staring at the loss
Looking for the cause
And never really sure
Nothing but a hole
To live without a soul
And nothing to be learned

I can tell you why
People go insane
I can show you how
You could do the same
I can tell you why
The end will never come
I can tell you on
The shadow on the sun

Read more..

So I got a new puppy for my birthday, and his name is Dozer..
He's a little ass hole terror with a 'gina..
(And yes, I said HE has a GINA).. when they neutered him, they only took his nuts, not the sac, so my poor baby looks like a hermie!! :(
Anyway, he has chewed up a slipper, stretched out 5 of my socks in a rough game of tug-a-war, and today he managed to eat half a flip-flop, and chewed the rest to pieces..
When I came home to find it, I yelled at him, and went to spank him but he ran onto my bed because he was scared and tried to hide, and when I went to grab ahold of him, he started peeing and pee'd on my ARM and my bed..

I felt bad because I scared him, but I was so mad that he chewed up my flip-flop, and then pee'd..
Also, he's a bad influence on my poor doodles..
So now he gets caged when we leave..
Which is mean, because doodles will just sit in front of the cage and taunt him, and then pounce at him trying to get him to play..

Rarely in computer networking do you resolve your connection by adding more complexity to the network. For some reason that fixed mine this evening.
