So peeps I'm attempting to make downloadable links to the stuff on the server. If I can do that, then I can make the Podcasts downloadable thru links as well as the RSS feed over at Podomatic.

So I'm posting a new post. Life is fun. But I gotta work in a bit so this is gonnabe short. Still livin with my gma. Installed Mac on my laptop. Yay. Work sucks sometimes. Like today. 9 hour shift. Bleh.

More later.

So I installed Windows 7 Beta Build 7000 on my Acer Aspire One Netbook. Here's the bottom line: So far so good. It runs pretty smooth considering the specifications of my computer.

1.6 GHZ Intel Atom processor with Intel 945 Integrated Graphics.
100 GB Hard Drive with 1 GB DDR2 Ram.
Atheros5007EG Wireless G Card.
Realtek Ethernet Card and sound card.

Windows XP Home for the original install.

Alrighty. So now for the gory details.

---Installation---

Went smoothly. Had to pre-partition the hard drive. That entailed booting into my Live CD Parted Magic 3.5 and cutting out a chunk for free space then booting into the Windows 7 DVD.
Then the install went without a hitch. The installer rebooted several times, but even so it was relatively quick for an entire OS install. Linux takes about an hour to two hours sometimes. This went onto the hard drive in 19 minutes. Not bad compared to to what I've witnessed in other installs.
The option to split the hard drive without already having a free area was not available for some reason. Not sure why. Might possibly be a glitch or the fact it was a basic drive.

Counting initial setup time it took a total of around 45 minutes to get it to the desktop. Not bad considering usual configuration takes longer on most systems.

---Hardware---
The hardware was detected pretty seamlessly with the exception of my network cards. The wireless card was detected as an ethernet card but was easily corrected when the appropriate Vista 32-Bit Driver was supplied for the Atheros Chipset. The Realtek card was in need of an update or at the very least it did accept the updated drivers from the website. Sound card worked out of box perfectly.
DVD Drive worked fine. Burned ok as well when burning a disc image from a file.

--- Software ---
Almost all of the initial software that I chose to install installed ok. Star Wars: Rebellion did install but did not run correctly it was a looking for a Direct X file that was not in the system.
Firefox runs fine all the way around. Windows Media Player  loads dvd's automatically and plays them automatically. GNUCash loaded fine, didn't do anything in it yet though. Itunes loaded and imported all my songs fine.  Burning an ISO image took approx. 4 minutes and the verification of the disc seemed to get stuck in a loop, but when I went to exit the program manually it stopped the loop and exited fine. Not sure about the end result of that. More on that later. Elite Force installed in 5 minutes for the base game. 2 minutes for the Expansion Pack for a total of 7 minutes of install time. Return to Castle Wolfenstein took a total of 4 minutes to install. GIMP loads a little slower than it does on XP, but not an issue.

---Miscellaneous Information---
Seems to run smooth for running on a more bare bones system compared to what XP required to run. Also battery life seems to be better as it appears to be more efficient than XP. Reboot times were at around a minute to reboot from the desktop. Shutdown takes approx. 30 seconds or so. Seems tol multitask ok. Currently blogging this while watching 'There is Something About Mary' if that says anything.

Not really much else at the moment, but I'm gonna make updates here as more things develop.

Later dudes.

So today I started cleaning/rearranging the room. Already tired and have been up only 8 hours. It's sad. I need to shower hardcore though. Off to do that in a minute. But I'm rearranging the room to suit my wants/needs in achieving my goals of getting on track financially and getting my life in order.

Hopefully things will start falling into place. I know it's gonna take a lot of effort on my part though. I don't accept change easily sometimes esp. when it comes to changing my habits. One of them is to not bite my nails. But that won't change too soon cause my only plan is to put nail polish on the nails and I won't care if it's see through so if I put a color on I'll freak out cause I'm biting my nails and ruining the finish. I'm weird like that, or is it just the fact that I can be vain when it comes to my appearance in my own way??? Hmmmm....

Well anyways I'm off. BTW I now have a Twitter in case anyone cares. Same user name. Later.

So many things to talk about. To start I have made and lost many friends. To be honest I still talk to some of them but most of them I don't talk to them anymore. Mostly b/c we drifted apart or we just don't catch up like we used to. Some of that is my fault as much as it is theirs. So it's an even mix of mine/their fault. However in one case it's mostly her fault. I tried to make nice and still be her friend but she kept ignoring me in general. She came back up here for the fourth and ended up chilling with a lot of people and basically ignored me in terms of us chilling at all. I was trying to hang with her while we chilled with everyone there and it never happened. Then she came back for school and we hung out some and she ended getting a bf and that's when it just stopped. She stopped calling altogether (even before she rarely did.) and stopped returning my calls and texts. So to say the least I felt totally burned. Aside from that I made other friends and filled the void she left at least at first. But I really do miss her sometimes and wish we had not departed that way, but I don't know if I pushed her away or if she stopped caring. Don't care really, (although by saying that you know I do.) Not gonna name her name it doesn't need mentioning. Then going from that I moved in with an old friend from high school and that totally was a bad thing from the start. Should've seen that from 5 miles away but I didn't. That led into me staying there for 3 months-ish and I spent more money there than anywhere else. BAsically that was a an issue of my friends fiancee would not look for work and maintain a steady job. She tried to a degree but not as hard as I felt she needed to be. So I moved out. Last known bit of info about them was they were still dating and the friend of theirs still friend of their's even after some stuff happened between us and him. That was basically some things went down at the apartment and he was blamed for some of it and I did some blaming myself (guilty as charged) but she immediately tried to blame him for it being missing. Makes me wonder how long it'll be till something happens when she finds a better dick to fuck and ditches her fiancee. Cause I felt she was falky all the way around. MAybe that's just me though. *Shrugs* And yes I still care about that. That was my one way of getting out of my parents place and it fell in so now I want a place of my own real bad. Or a roommate to join me. Anyways. That's a work-in-progress esp. as I get other things in order. Like my organization skills and a good handle on my life. Anyways I suppose that it's for now... major ramble-de-bamble.

So like I'm hitting a creative block and I just wanna write.

So I am choosing to blog about the various things happening in my life as of right now. Maybe something will come from it.

So as far as my love life goes not much really going at present aside from fallout of a breakup of a one week relationship with a coworker. She wants to be my friend but she is still clinging to the hope that maybe we will date again someday. Prolly not gonna happen. I can't see it happening anyways. I just never felt the spark of desire for her or her body honestly. So I didn't feel like dragging it out. Anyways so that was a fun lil fling.

I am getting way better at rocking on the guitar. I can play a lot more than I used to. I can o some alternate picking styles and I can do so decent phrasings when soling but I can actually solo  new solo's over old ones. Like say I take a song and it's got a solo in it, well I can solo something different than the original and it sounds ok, maybe not as good as the original but even so not too bad. Also working on learning drums. Work is ok. Working on moving the ladder but who knows what will happen there.

Anyways later gonna get some sleep.

So I'm hoping that there will be more to post again soon... obviously my love life has been lackluster enough to make no posts something to look forward to. But Imma try to get something going in terms of a girlfriend soon. Got a couple of options on the table. Anyways I suppose I'll catch ya's later cause I gots to get the computer all caught up with updates.

This will now be an account of all expireinces in this plane and realm, also of this life. I will try to record everything when I get time. However I think the gods and goddesses are trying to point me in a direction previously unseen by me. As in I have felt this urge to relate to them lately... so hear's to something good.

So I've finally done it, I think... as to what I've done, I don't know. More later! :D

Sigh. Another long overdue post. But oh wellz.

I'm infatuated again. Meaning I'm not crushing but I really like someone but not enough to call it love yet.

More later.

So now I have a quandry. I got a girl at work that likes me, and one of my bosses likes me as well! Damnations. What to do??

your mom... slept with me last night.

So I bought Heart of Glass, and some HIM songs.

I'm excited. I gotta get a tape adapter or something for the car now so I can jam out. YEAH BABY!



Anyways. Later peepsies.

SO I just woke up. Hooray.

Tacos for lunch. Gonna go eat now.

Jo is bitchin cause I aint eating yet.

Be back later.

So my life is crazy. I moved out of the house. I live with some friends. THis chick gets on my nerves. Always calling us soimething. If we aren't assholes we are motherfuckers. If it isn't one it's another. God damn. Oh did I mention I'm atheist. Yeah. That too. Anyways. So life is crazy. I work at Mc Donalds now too. I make enough to cover bills and have some left over. Life is peachy.


The End.

Well, I'm at it again. I'm podcasting again. This time I am going one step further. I am gonna stream it out. Hooray for technology.

And aturally again I am being myself. Is it wrong to be a little upset that a friend is dating someone? I mean, I want her to be happy, and I'm glad she's found a great guy, but a part of me is like "Erg. I was here all this time and you don't even bother to ask me out..." I dunno. I'm probably being a total dick about it :P.

Yeap. I have been feeling a bit under the weather the last couple of days... grrrr. That and I know I'm fucked for passing school. I'm trying to somehoew bs. it with my parents and some of my friends into thinking that it was not my entire lack of not attendance to class that made it my fault but that a combination of my grades in general not good enough. Which may or may not be true anyways since I don't know how well I'm doing in Personal Health and Wellness. Oh well. I know I didn't do the best I could for the situation, but I knew somehow that even if I tried my hardest something was gonna trip me up. Don't know how or why I knew, but I was not expecting to make it this semester. Sigh. Anyways as far as finding a place to live my grandparents are offering me the oppurtunity to pay them between 200-300 a month to rent one of uncle's old rooms. I would have access to a washer and a dryer, and most likely grandma would end up spending some on groceries but I would have my own mini fridge in the room to put some stuff in so I don't have to always go downstairs to get something. I don't really have a problem with the idea, because right now I can use this as a chance to get started so I can find a different car cause mine is about to fall apart. That and I would have a closer idea as to how difficult it would be to live on my own without too many consequences from living there. Like if one month I can't pay the full rent they would be lenient and that kind of thing. But also that works because then when I go to move to somewhere else, the move won't be such a bitch cause everything will be in town already. Those are some of the bigger reasons why I think it will work better for the moment. I'm not saying like 2-3 years of that, but in the meantime it will help me get my feet wet and maybe a better view on how things work in the real world where no one really cares about the next random guy to rent the place, they just care if you payin the rent and all that kinda stuff. Anyways, I'm done updating, I'll let you know more later! Bye!

So today I was informed that my 'friends' think I'm being rude. In a general sense. BUT, they did not tell me to my face... irony?

Oh well. I'll try to be more careful of what I do. And how I act and do everything like usual. Or something like that.

J is sick. She has a cold. And she is not happy about that.


Sigh. Waiting for class to come and go again...

Nothing's really happened on the 'war front'. but I hope she realizes before it's too late that he is in the middle of two girls.
Her and her best friend...... yep. It's a disaster in the making. Or at least a rocky friendship between her and him, and possibly her best friend too. Sigh. Why do I know this type of crap??? I can't tell her anything because she'll not take it lightly. Sigh.

not much really happening... Jen having high hopes for thing with with the guy to work out. I am trying to tell her subtly that he is chasing someone else. It's genral rule of thumb that guy that says he does not wanna date right now usually means he's chasing somebody.

Oh well. I'll let her find it on her own.

So things today were okay, Nothing special happened. Ipod is being gay. Will only charge now. WANT TO PUT ALICE IN CHAINS ON IT..... Oh well. Anyways I will see y'all later.
