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.

All the cool kids are doing it..
Has a hate list of her own today..
I hate that I have to be mean to get anywhere with morons that have better jobs than me.
I hate that I suck as a friend.
I hate that I don't realize that some things have boundaries, until its too late.
I hate that there isn't anything I can do in certain situations.
I hate that my boyfriend is back on second shift.
I hate that I have no ambition to do the ass load of homework that I have piled up on my desk.
I hate that I hate so many things.
Thought I had more to say, but I lost it..

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.

Green Street Hooligans
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high,
Nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams,
They fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked everywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

I hate when a comedian can say something so very true and memorable.
"Life is about choice. We are the sum of our choices. And most of them are made for us. You can't choose when you're born. You can't choose where you are born. You can't choose your family. You can't even choose who you love. But you can choose how you love."

Ramblings.
I see the world around me and I feel broken.
I ask myself what may come of this world, I cannot answer. Only the wind knows.
I pray what I see of the world around, that the things I see might aid me in the years to come.
If I feel broken, then should not the world around me break? Should it not crumble?
Convenience led us here to sloth. Hope only that you may be blessed to float.

i just made a post on farmville that contained the phrase "asexually reproduce" and they censored the phrase thusly: "a***ually reproduce"
what the fuck?
edit:
i realized i forgot to mention that over the christmas holiday, i was offered a full time position drumming with the machines (that band i played with in grand haven on the 18th). as of yet, we have no gigs lined up, and are still working on compiling a set list. if you have any suggestions, please shout them out at the top of your lungs. or just post a comment, if that's easier for you. i think we're trying to stick in the oldies/rock/blues-type area, and we need stuff that's kinda danceable. not necessarily slow, but danceable. and easy, did i mention easy? i mean, i don't want this to be like actual work or something. ; ) just whatever you'd want to hear a band play while you're out at the bar. and the bar is full of "old" people.

i have a subwoofer/amplifier combo that i need to sell, so i can get plates and insurance on my truck.
it's a JL Audio 12W3 woofer in a custom enclosure, matched with a 250/1 class D amplifier. they are awesome together, and i am very sad to see them go, but it's cargo i'm not currently using, and making money is hard without legal transpo. so there you have it.
i paid over $300 for this setup when i bought it, and have taken very good care of it. i mean, it gets pretty loud, but i've never abused it. just don't try and win any SPL competitions with it and you should be fine. it'll warm up the bottom end of your stock sound, and actually take some of the strain away from speakers that struggle to reproduce lower frequencies. and maybe even shake your mirrors a smidgen.
if you're interested, just let me know. offer whatever you feel is fair, and i'll see if i can make it work. amplifier comes with all original hardware and packaging, for your convenience.
here be some pictures of the goods:

Walking on a Dream!
We are always running for the thrill of it thrill of it
Always pushing up the hill searching for the thrill of it
On and on and on we are calling out and out again
Never looking down I'm just in awe of what's in front of me
