I'm single!

Who cares though. I'm at the point right now that I don't, to be quite honest. I've spent the last 3 years trying to find a girlfriend, and every attempt has failed miserably. I guess I've either not found "the right one" or none of the relationships I've attempted were supposed to actually happen.

So what am I going to do? It sure isn't turn homosexual if that's what you're thinking. I don't bend that way. No, what I am going to do is just sit back, let life take me where it takes me, and if something sparks up in the meantime, go with it. Otherwise, I'm not going to put any effort into a relationship.

Some of you may be thinking "I told you so!" while others are thinking "THATS TOTALLY NOT HOW TO DO IT!!".. You know what? I don't really care either way. This is my life, and this is an area of it that I can't do exactly how you may have done it. Since I'm not doing anything illegal or unethical here, it doesn't really matter what you think about it.

(By the way, this wasn't intended to be a rant.)

I just saw "Hellboy" and found it to be an interesting flick. I hate the fact that I almost ALWAYS miss the first or last 30 minutes of every movie.

It is 12:46AM. Mom just came to my door to tell me not to get off the internet because she was going to check her email. I went back to the spare bedroom, which is where her computer is, and said "It's a bit late for that, isn't it?"

She said she couldn't sleep and that she didn't want to be tossing and turning, thus, keeping Dad awake.

So yeah, this is TOTALLY abnormal and I don't know what to think of it or what to do about it.

Wishing all the best for you And now I'll say goodbye Cause all the "lies" that we've been through Put wisdom in my eyes

So walk away, don't turn around Cause I won't be standing here Cause all the lies that I've been living through Are becoming very clear And beauty thus become

File sizes are limted to 2GB... What kind of idiotic idea is that?!

The next Wildebeest upgrade is going to be a move to Slackware 10. Yay for ReiserFS.

Finally, Windows is installed on hda1. Now I shall drag my lazy butt to bed and worry about installing drivers and the like tomorrow.

In the process of writing the last entry on my Linux box, the mouse decided it was going to piss me off as well. Now I'm back on my messed up Windows box, using (I shudder as I even think about it) Internet Explorer.

This time I have backed up all the pertinent stuff from my profile directory, including email, but I must also back up all my music, software installers, and source packages. This really sucks.

Bill Gates must die a very slow and painful death.

Last week I reinstalled Windows XP because it was starting to act funky, which is normal for Windows. Today, I went to boot up and I got an "OS Not Found" error message. So, I did what any normal person would do: I popped in the XP install disk, brought up the repair console, and issued a "fixmbr" command followed by a "fixboot" command.

After all that was done and I rebooted, I got the Windows "Welcome" screen, but I couldn't log in. So, after waiting for 30 minutes for the login prompt, I decided to do a quick repair on the Windows install. After it was done, I saw that my drive letters had been switched around and that the "repair" was done on the new C-drive.

As of right now, I am backing everything up from that hard drive that I want to keep and I will be totally wiping it out and reinstalling...AGAIN...

If I didn't need Windows for the work I do, I would just say to hell with it all together.

Think of it as a kitten...

One day, you're driving home from work, school, or whatever, and you see a poor kitten on the side of the road. The cat looks like it would be fairly attractve if it were just cleaned up and given a good home. So, you pick it up, take it home, bathe it, take it to the vet to get it all innoculated, and take it home. Little do you know, this cat is a female cat and there's a stray male running in your neighborhood. Since cats really aren't the type of animal to lock up in a house, you decide to let it roam free, both inside and out.

The weeks pass and you notice the cat starting to look really bloated. Turns out, she's pregnant.

Even more weeks pass, and the next thing you know, you've got a ruined flannel shirt that was laying on your bed, covered in cats. You now have 6 more kittens from just this one. Giving the kittens away isn't a problem, because you know 6 people that would just LOVE to have a kitten.

After a few more weeks, you notice your cat looking pudgy again. Turns out, she's pregnant again. Back to the same cycle, you have 6 more kittens and another ruined flannel shirt. The problem is, all the people you know already got a kitten from you and don't want another.

Gmail invites work the same way. I was given an invite about 2 months ago, and now I have such an abundance of invites. Nearly every other day I see that I've got 6 invites, I just can't get rid of them though.

If you know anyone that wants a Gmail account, have them post a comment here with their name and current valid email address. The invites are litter-box trained and only eat about 1 cup of food a day.

BYOB (The last "B" is for "Box")

My mouth hurts. My hands hurt. My back hurts. My head hurts.

I'm going to bed, I think.

For the past 2 or 3 days my left hand has felt like it is broken. Today, my right hand started in with the same crap.

Posted by tim in Pissed on September 3, 2004

I am serious people. Don't even try to give me your opinion on how to solve my problems unless you fully understand them. I am SICK and TIRED of people saying "Just get a job" when they don't know the details behind it. I can't "just get a job" because I have limitations, both physical and otherwise, that prevent me from getting certain jobs.

I have applied for a local job and am waiting for a response about it. That's all you need to know. There's no walking into Wal-Mart for me.

Also, I can't just move out whenever I feel like it. Aside from the housing costs, I won't be able to afford the other costs I would incur, such as truck insurance, food, internet, and the like. You're probably thinking, "Just take a bus and get rid of your truck..." Nice thought, but it won't happen. The day I do that is the day I quit working for myself and basically tell my existing customers to go to hell in a handbasket. There's these things in the business world called "meetings". I have meetings come up at random days and times and I have to be there.

Also, having money won't make me happy. I've been there and it hasn't changed anything. Woo-fucking-hoo.
