I have added Technorati tags to the posts. I started thinking about doing it when I upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1, and I broke down today and added them. I think it adds a little something to my blog, plus it might help with my Technoratti ranking. I might add categories when I change my theme. I have a new theme in mind, I just have to crack open photoshop and try and get the graphic to be what I want. Hopefully I can get it done sometime soon.
My music drive didn’t need to be moved. It is still on its own drive separate from the 500 gigabyte one. I have that one split into two parts, a 75 gigabyte drive and a 400 gigabyte drive (25 gigabytes instantly is lost due to how a gigabyte is defined). I have 690 gigabytes on my computer, including all of my other drives. I don’t think I will run out of space anytime soon, at least I hope not. Now if only I can get the Spiderman 3 synopsis done and decide on my next project for the website (a video one hopefully).
The Personal Loan we got is really helping us get everything we ever wanted. While it hasn’t helped us buy a house yet, it is helping us get the things that we need, like blankets and that kind of thing. We applied for $20,000 and were approved for $8000, but that is most likely because we don’t own a home. We do need to find out some things about payment though, like if we really need to send out the little payment slip along with a check, or if we can just send a check out using our bank account. I never got checks with my account because I never use checks, to me they are obsolete, why pay with a check when I can use a credit card, or with bill pay?? Personal Loans are great if you need money now. Plus you aren’t putting up any collateral, which is always a good thing in my book.
Where do you go when you need to know something about websites? I am not talking about finding websites, I am talking about the kind of stuff that might confuse you, such as what an IP address is. While websites like Wikipedia are great, they sometimes explain things in a technical manner, which might confuse some people. That is why Caribbean Web Development is so great, they explain things in ways that you can understand. They are a fairly new site, only a few months old, but they have great articles like why you should care about how your website looks on a mobile phone.
I have always wanted to try Absinthe. For those of you who don’t know it is a liquor that is illegal in the United States because of its high alcohol volume and because it is reported to make you hallucinate. Now I am not saying I want to be off my ass with cartoons running around, but I would like to see what it is like. I mean I can do shots of tequila and vodka and just get drunk, I would like to see what it is like if you are hallucinating. I am not even sure if I would hallucinate, some people have said that it doesn’t actually make you do that and its an urban legend, but I don’t know.
As you know, I just bought my first camcorder. I haven’t really used it for anything yet, but I am hoping to maybe have some video blogs, maybe in some odd locations. Who knows maybe I will record a blog from the beach, or in some other place that people don’t normally blog from. I am just haoppy that I have a camcorder, now all I need to do is figure out what my first project is going to be. I am probably going to break down and do a video blog post as the first one, but you never know.
Just because I am happy with my camcorder, doesn’t mean that I don’t still want a top of the line digital camera. One day, I would love to own a Nikon camera. While I do love the way film comes out, I don’t think I would get a film camera though. Digital cameras are making leaps and bounds every year and an 8 megapixel camera is the equivalent of a film picture, so I would choose a digital camera. I am not saying that I wouldn’t own a film camera, I am just saying if it was a choice between a Nikon digital and a Nikon film, then I would choose the Nikon digital.
I have been thinking a lot about going back to school. I was planning on doing it when we moved, but since our move has been postponed indefinitely, I don’t know when I will be able to get back into school. What I was thinking, if I just got an associates then I could be a substitute teacher.
I was already a tutor, and if I was a substitute teacher then I would have access to the teacher’s books and help people even more. I am hoping that when I was a tutor, I was an Innovative Tutor. What I mean is that I hope that I showed people how to look at things in a different light. Like if someone is having trouble with math, then to associate it with things they would understand like football, or sewing if the case may be.
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.
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.
