2007

My great grandfather was a firefighter. I am pretty sure that he died while fighting a fire actually. I guess maybe because I know that about him, I kind of admire firefighters. I mean I would never choose to be a firefighter, it just isn’t for me, but some of my friends are firefighters. I have visited them when they were training, and I have to say it is really unsafe. Most of the stuff they were using was more than ten years old, and with all the heat and smoke, it could really get out of hand properly if there was even just one thing went overlooked. They should really incorporate some newer fire department training tools. I mean having a standard building is one thing, but what about if there is a car that is 200 feet from a burning building that explodes while you are there. Having newer portable structures and the like could really add valuable input to on the field problems that could occur.

You know people go to war for believing in what they do. They fight and get killed for believing in their God. What does it get them? I mean either way people on both sides of the war die, and yet no God prevails. Maybe Whose to say hes called God anyway? Why not Yahweh, Buddha, Ginnesh? What if God isn’t an all knowing all powerful being, but something that is far too complex and too simple for us to understand? What if God isn’t anything really and everything at all?

There will be no peaceful end to the world, no second coming of Christ. There will be war and hatred and only those who have the will to survive will survive. Men will look inside themselves and see that there will be no hand of God to come down and stop it all, there is no burning bush with a face in it. God is just an idea drawn by man. Think if God is loving and all knowing, and he made man in his image then why did man create this? A world of hatred and fear. God is nothing more than a driving force, an idea that there will be more to look forward to after you die. There isn’t any pearly gate, no big book with your name in it, there is only peacefulness, for we are the Gods in this world and the next.

The hard drive came today. I was a little shocked that it was a SATA when I swore that it was an EIDE one, but nonetheless it was a pleasent surprise. I am guessing that my motherboard can only hold three hard drives considering that I plugged in it with the one I was going to take out (an EIDE one) and it only recognizes two of the EIDE ones and the SATA one. I swore I had more in there, but I guess I didn’t. Once it is done formatting the new drive though (75 gigabytes for the music and 390 gigabytes for other things) I am going to reboot and see if I can get the other drive working as well, if I can then I may just use the 75 gigabytes as another drive for things that shouldn’t necessarily go into my documents drive.

I have never played Paintball, I have been invited, I have seen it in movies and on television, but I have never actually played. Don’t get me wrong, I want to, I really do, but I just haven’t had a game come up at a good time. I want to play, so much so that I have recently been checking out paintball tournaments on your-paintball.

From what I have seen though, it looks as if a lot of people like the D-Day kind of warfare, as opposed to the Guerilla warfare type. I don’t know why people would rather rush in and kill the other team when they could hide out and shoot people from the trees. I don’t know, I have always been drawn toward hide and seek type games.

One of the main reasons that I haven’t played is because I don’t have any Paintball Gear. I have been checking a lot of stuff out, like markers and Paintball Guns, but I don’t know if I would ever buy anything. I mean I can’t even get a group of people together, I would need to get some random people together and play if I ever wanted to use them.

I know my car will not last forever. I know the harsh reality is that most likely in the next year or two I am going to need a new car. Honestly I am hoping for the latter, but I cannot control which it is. I have been looking at a Honda Car Quote that isn’t a bad deal. I got two quotes fast, and I looked at them both and while both of them are very good, one is lower so I have been drawn to that one. It is a very tempting offer, and I will need to think about it for a while. I wonder if I could get even a thousand dollars for my trade in, if I could, then this quote might become the price I pay for a car.

My hard drive should be here tomorrow. What that means for me is that tonight I am going to have to move some stuff around so that I can replace my twenty gigabyte music drive with the new 500 gigabyte one. I am still going to have a separate drive just for my music, I am planning on partitioning the drive maybe about 100/400 or so just so I have room to expand with the music. The 400 will be for programs and other various things.

Now that my printer is working, it tells me that I am out of ink. If I order ink for my printer, then I should probably order some for my mother’s printer as well. She has an HP printer and goes through more HP 56 black than anyone I know. She is always printing stuff from online, or her resume, or even those forwards that people send to you that tell you to send it to five people and something good will happen to you. I don’t know why she does it, but I guess it makes her happy.

I usually get my ink online because it is cheaper, and HP inkjet cartridges can be found anywhere that my printer brand can be found. I buy online because going to a store and purchasing ink is too much of a hassle, plus they are usually more expensive. Buying ink cartridges online though, from online stores like Carrot Ink can definitely save you a lot of time money and hassle.

The last few times I tried to print something, it didn’t work. It wouldn’t even loan the paper all the way in. I looked at it last night and I found there were crumbs in it. See Krissy likes to put food on top of it , so that is how they got there. It is a good thing I didn’t buy that printer in Walmart yesterday, but I am happy with the camcorder.

I am a nerd, you know why? I want this Beretta Air Rifle because it looks like the battle rifle from Halo. Actually if I could get real weapons that are replicas from the Halo series I think that would be extremely cool. Think about it, if I could own an Sub Machine Gun, rocket launcher, Shotgun, and a sniper rifle, I would be in heaven. I would mount them as my Halo collection. The problem is that I don’t really like guns, and I don’t think I could get all those as air guns. I am not even sure if it is legal to own a rocket launcher, but it would be nice though. I am not talking about having rockets for it, I mean just a rocket launcher, never will be fired, just to have.

Even if it isn’t the Beretta Air Rifle, I still would love to own an air gun. They are cool looking, and you can’t do much damage with them. I mean it is a lot easier to grab airsoft guns and scare away unwanted intruders than it is to grab a sword when Krissy hears something at night and kicks me out of bed to check it out. Plus if you can find mistakes on that website then they give you 5% off your purchase, so that is extra incentive for me to go through them rather than going to another place.

My site is slow and it is pissing me off. My site was down before and it was also down yesterday. Support hasn’t gotten back to me and it has been over 3 hours. I know that it is hard to keep a server up and running, but if it comes to a point where you need to ask yourself do you want uptime or unlimited resources, I think you need to choose the uptime. I will see what happens with this, but if they don’t do something soon, then I am going to leave Dreamhost.

I am throwing away books that I don’t need. I mean when am I ever going to be using a Photoshop 2.5 book, when I have a Photoshop CS2 book? I do appreciate that I could get them for free after my step mother died, but I don’t really have a use for them anymore. I don’t even think I ever had a use for them, but they did teach me some things in Photoshop that I didn’t think you could do, but I never used them for anything big. So books on Photoshop and networking Macs, and Illustrator I bid you farewell.
