News and the likes there of
Okay so I havent updated in a bit. Here we go!
First, I am not happy that with myself for forgetting to look at the name on the check from the Cadillac Boat Show job. They put down AC for the payment name and they werent doing the show. I was. My dad rented the equipment and I set it up. He gives me the money for the labor and I cut him for gas and a bit extra. I make $200. Nice right? Took 3hrs of work and 6hrs or driving but hey. Not bad Id say. $200 for a 9hr day? Thats $22/hr I certainly dont mind that at all. Especially when I was pretty much dead ass broke.
I have more fun coming up this next weekend too! This time in Petoskey, MI. Current plan is tentative:
Thursday evening setup. 10-15 booths with half being just back drape. Staying overnight in hotel for courtesy check 9am with show organizer.
Sunday tear down the show starting around 4-5pm
If weather is problematic, stay in Petoskey again Sunday night.
Im looking at plans for staying up there the whole weekend, but nothing is solid on this yet.
I have plans to go skiing at Shanty Creek Friday at Summit Mtn. and possibly again in the evening Sunday.
Lift ticket information: $10 Special - $15 ski rental @ Summit
So basically Im looking at $25 for rental of gear and getting out on the slopes. This is an amazing deal. A full shanty creek day pass is like $50+
Other rental lift tickets are still good deals on other days too. "Most affordable life tickets in America" program is running so make use of it!
Im totally making use of such amazing deals! Hey, I might not get the whole of Shanty, but Im happy to at least get on the slopes again. I havent been out in a few years. Nor have I ever been lucky enough to use the new shaped skies people have.
Im offering to take someone with me if they are interested in getting some slopes time. They will be required to help setup the show as payment for a room if someone takes advantage. Youve been warned!
Oh! This weekend is also going to be "College Weekend" So um...people watching...Yes..watching...
In other news...
I gave up on the Ali thing. Too aloof, at least now.
Hung out with Vern and did a rather good number of MTG games today. I was happy to get to be nerdy and win some.
Thats about it really. Im rather boring person. I know. Things are looking up though. Im pleased with my outlook on things and just hoping this lasts. I would rather like to avoid another low point. I dont think I could handle it. So no broken bones, health crisiseses and [God] willing the unthought of things.
Oh! I almost forgot....some find me $1100 so I can build a new pc. Mine blows and wont let me get the performance I would like out it anymore. if anyone is in the market for a new[used] pc Im looking to sell. Im asking for $475.

today was valentines day. i was worried it would be horrible, but it really was wonderful. i was with the one i'm falling for until 8am this morning :) we went out to eat and watched a movie together and slept close all night long and i don't even care that he snored the entire time. i didn't hear from him today at all though. i know he had his child until 7 and probably crashed after that. i don't know, but he's making me crazy in a good and bad way.
jake stopped by this afternoon. we switched back belongings. it was hard to see him go- in fact it's making me cry now. he still treats me like a princess and wiped away my tears when i cried.
the night ended being kissed by someone i didn't really want to be kissed by.
i'm not sure i want to remember this day.

:: Music: Hockey- Song Away
I'd like to let you know I'll always be straight with you/ I stole my personality from an anonymous source/ And I'm getting paid for it too, I don't feel bad about that.
Make me a deal and make it good for me,
I won't get full of myself, cause I can't afford to be.
This is small town music, this is big town music,
He's ahead of his time, you know... but, he can't use it...
If only he could prove it.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
It's just a song away.
See what your man has done to the world,
See what the world has done to your man.
You know I'm leaving you, you don't need me,
Lovin' you wasn't always so easy.
This is believe me music, this is forget me music,
This is who can love me, you know, this ain't no roxy music.
This is new form music, this is old form music,
This is I paid attention not some makes his prediction music.
Oh, he could let me use it.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
It's just a song away.
Not wanting to write a truthful song over an eighties groove,
I'd like to let you know I'll always be straight with you.
I stole my personality from an anonymous source,
And I'm getting paid for it too, I don't feel bad about that.
Give me my chance back.
This is on the rise music, this is novelty music,
This is who can blame music, I don't get fooled by it
This is "where'd you go" music, this is "come home" music,
This is down to the wire I'm such a perfect angel music.
Who really tries?
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
It's just a song away.
Ah well,
This is success music, and what's it to ya?
My lawyer always says these are the facts about the future, well....
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
Tomorrow's just a song away, a song away, a song away.
It's just a song away.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Okay heres the skinny: it fucking rocks. There are some problems, but thats to expected in a beta.
Explosions all over the place. Bullets flying all over. Noise. Noise. Noise! The first 15min made me feel like an ant looking at a sandbox. It is absolutely amazing to play. I wish I had a better system so I could actually stand a chance in close quarters. My system only manages to run it at round 25fps which blows. I need to tweak some settings to try and make it go up but I dont think I will manage to pull much more out of the system.
The kits are rather slim pickin at the start but that just takes some time to unlock things.
This game carries over lessons learned by both BF2 and BF2142 which is great. Kit unlocks balance against starter weapons. Pins for just about anything you do is back from 2142. They minimalized the text you see on screen which is nice. No wall of kills spamming the corners of your screen. No radial control menu when you hit 'Q' anymore. Just a simple tap to light someone with a target. The audio isnt loud in your ear with the same line "....spotted!" no longer is in your ear 5 times in 1second. No commanders that I could tell which mean no recon class going solo to do stupid stuff.
Sniper registration could use some work, but its still amazing.
You actually have to use mil dots! I dont know if windage is taken into account just yet, but it certainly is possible. Its a totally new engine for the game. I love not seeing laser points for scopes. Keeps the riff-raff away from using the rifles.
The MW2 naysayers will be content with hooting and hollering over their precious game and miss out on a much more immerse battle game. This game is competition gold. Squad vs squad will be amazing. In the first ours of playing tonight I got to squad up with 3 other of my clan members in a server. We rolled the map on both ends. Revive, re ammo, shoot, shoot, shoot. I can see TWL, CAL, MLG, XPL, and CEVO all taking this game on for tournaments.
ModernFail2 can have its lack of community support over in its corner. Fine by me. Its days are numbered due to the lack of support, the rehashing of old content, and lets not forget shit job of fixing bugs. "Blame it on Steam!" "Who needs PB?! We've got VAC!"
The wait is almost over! March is near!
Giant maps. Great action. Amazing environment destruction. 15000 kit variations. Vehicle mayhem! Dedicated servers! Tactical combat! Realism!

じゃ。。。 実は俺ホンマに俺の本当の気持ちを書きたいっていう気持ちが出てこちに誰も分からないように日本語で書く。
最近はまーまーやな。 なんてやってもいろいろがまだ悪いことにしてる。でも俺だけじゃなくて毎日授業中とか道路で歩いてる人とか誰でもすごくかわいそうな顔してる。無効に座ってる女が遅くサンド食べてて何か待ってることがありそうな感じだ。
つまりこの所が体にも心にもわるいんだ.
出たいな！っていつも考えてるのになんでかな？ 出身じゃないか？ 子供時代からずっと住んでる場所じゃないか？いつも好きじゃないとだめだっていう考え方もってるけど 嫌いな！大嫌いなんだよ！

I am sitting in bed under the covers because it is quite cold outside. John Mayer is on Vh1 singing about heartbreak and warfare.
Had the Brinner pajama party last night-it went quite well. I still have about 8 dozen eggs, though, so I might be making some deviled eggs this afternoon to take to closed rush.
We are bidding for next years convention and I'm in charge of it. Planning a convention for 600+ people is not an easy thing to do.
I am afraid that the garbage truck outside is going to hit my car right now.
Nope, it didn't.
I need to do my reading on Socialism and Communism-ideologies that happen to fulfill my psychic needs (or as Fromm would say).
This is my last spring semester as an undergraduate. I need to do my taxes. I need to fight with my insurance company about paying for my Nexium. I am having a surgical consultation in a few weeks. I need a nap.

Youve got to be shitting me.
Ok so right off the bat, shamefully I want one. I have no clue why!
NOTHING ON THIS IS NEW OR INNOVATIVE!
iPad
From a innovation standpoint nothing is new here folks. The only thing you get out of this is a larger piece of glass than your iPod Touch or iPhone.
My best attempt to understand how someone came up with this idea is as follows: Apple employee is walking into work listening to his iPod without paying attention he walks into an low standing object and falls. As he is falling, he drops his brand new eReader. As he lands, the eReader and the Ipod drop to the ground. They fall landing together followed buy the mans head on the pavement. When the man wakes up he rubs his head and looks down to see them together and wonder what would have happened had he only had one object to carry.
Bam.
Box it.
Giant iPod touch will solve this!
Nothing new is here. Lets compare it to a typical netbook you can find at the same cost elsewhere. Something where you don't pay for a badge.
A good solid example of such a product would be this: Asus eee Netbook PC
Looking at a same priced model we can find a much better machine!
1.66Ghz Intel Atom processor
-iPad 1GHz Apple A4
Asus eee runs at 1024x600
-iPad run 1024x768
Asus eee has 160Gb hard drive or higher!
-iPad runs in 16,24, or 32Gb
The Asus has its own 2Gb of memory. The iPad runs off its flash drives!
Both have bluetooth.
Both have microphones.
Both have audio jacks. Asus has both in and out.
Both have Lithium Ion batterys with 6+hrs of life.
iPad does not support a lan line. Asus does.
Both include a wifi with b/g/n support.
The Asus features either a full version of WinXp/Win7 or Linux. iPad comes in a almost full formate of Mac.
Both can use SD memory cards.
Asus offers a webcam, mock it, but its there.
So the end result is, more processing power. More drive space. Full functionality of a tablet. Not a douche feeling. If I ever see someone with one of these I will make sure to slap it out of their hands onto the ground where I will then spit on it.EeeTop PC ET1602C End of Story.
Nothing new. We've seen touch screens before. We've seen the App Store already. We've seen this look slim item look before. We've seen cellphone coverage on netbook/tablets before. What is new? Nothing. Simply a rehash mismatch of the netbook idea and the ever popular iPhone/iPod Touch.

How do you do it man?
I dont know...I guess I dont think about it.
...When you do think about it, just remember you do it because if you arent doing it, someone else will. That someone else could have a hell of a lot more going for them than you. Dont let them suffer when you have nothing to offer up.
Others cant deal with it, you deal with it because they cant. You do it do they dont get hurt. You do it for them. Its easy.
Out of mind.
