Geeky or Freaky So I was surfing through my favorite blogs and I came across a post about consumating.com. The consept intriged me. It is basically a friend/dating/people finding thingy... but instead of the normal write up a profile about yourself and let people look at your picture... this one is all about tags... you know, the things that are catching on all around the internet... started with photos... most notably at flickr. Anyway, This service is really cool... even if you aren't single you should check it out... it is fun... another way to waste even more time on the internet! yay! ugh! It is basically a dating site for nerds.... people give you a thumbs up or thumbs down... based on your tags or on how you answer the question of the week. Really, you should just take a look for yourself. 5 comments 2/27/2006 09:32:00 AM doesn't mean it will be easy Star of Life So basically God likes new things... and change. Yes, I went to church today. I was think'n about going for like a while... like a long while and seeing as how my life took an unexpected turn, I decided I really want to go this Sunday... but I was still pretty lazy about it. Anywho, My dad calls and says that he feels like I should go to church today... because it will be good for me... So then I'm like, fine... I'll go... so I did. Anyway, today's sermon was about accepting big changes God has in store for life.... well isn't that just interesting. Coincidence...? Perhaps, but either way it was a swell sermon... nothing special happened like everything was all clear and stuff, but it basically just helped me to re-focus my attention... or maybe just think about things in a different way... I dunno, it was good and it is hard to explain to all ya'll, but it was good for me and I guess that is all you really need to know huh? Basically (even taking God [and religion] out of the picture) if things don't change how can they get better? They can't... they will stay the same... even if the sameness was nice and comfortable... it won't get better... But then you run the risk of becoming worse... yeah that's true... but probably not... Every experience makes you a new person than you were the moment before... so just deal... ugh... I sure don't wanna deal... oh well... I'm going to and I'm going to accept this change with open arms and an open mind and a new perspective. Life, after all, rocks my socks off. "What God did yesterday was good. But, What He has planned for today is even better!" -Quote from today's sermon- 3 comments 2/26/2006 09:32:00 PM now? Live that shit! I was able to cry a little bit today. Finally, a small bit of closure. What did I do wrong?!?!!?!? My head screams. It hurts so bad. But the pretty pictures stuck to the door with failing adhesives lie. All the smiles are fake now... nothing now... hurt so bad now... and I just want to crawl into a hole... and sleep... forever..... people change... times change... hurt is life... life is life... go with it.. deal with it... without pain we'd all be numb... I need a stand up hug now more than ever. Thank you friends that are true... you mean alot. 2 comments 2/25/2006 10:48:00 PM Music Poll for Jeff CODE: Music Poll to Soothe the Soul.

I am controlled by the same emotions and have the same feelings that everyone else had/has. "There is nothing new under the sun." I guess I kind of now understand how Patric must feel with 4 older siblings who have experienced alot. He has to go to extremes to be different than us.... to be unique. I mean... is it that important to be different... well yes... to me it is... being different is the most important thing to me right below being loved. I think it comes from wanting to leave a mark on the world. If you are just the same as everyone around you, than your life is no more important than the next guy (at least that is the feeling/thought that I have). Anyway, I've discovered the feeling of grief. It is weird. quite weird. Check out what wikipedia had to say... this is for patric: "Persons often remark on how someone appears stoic or strong when they are actually in shock. " That is just craziness. I am bond by my humanity and I don't want to accept it. I hate who I am.. that is a human. The physical constraints of my life are depressing and my thoughts and emotions are governed by chemical reactions. The only way to change those is to throw in synthetic chemicals and hope for the best. I don't love or hate right now. 2 comments 2/22/2006 08:18:00 AM I will never love again...... 3 comments 2/21/2006 04:57:00 PM A Land Cruiser JL421 Badonkadonk Land Cruiser/Tank So, I was surf'n the information super highway and I happened upon this little gem. It is a Land Tank that apparently Amazon is offering... Anyway, the real fun happens when you read the comments about it. So take a look and enjoy your day. 5 comments 2/18/2006 10:50:00 AM Try it Put on a pair of headphones and walk around a crowded area... or sit and watch/listen. I mean... just put on a pair of headphones... don't play music through them... just put 'em on. It is interesting how the worl d treats you and how people think you can't hear them... or it is more of they are not sure if you can hear them or not... either way... it is quite fun. do it... go to the mall or a store... and wear them the whole time... ask for assistance or pay attention when you check out... people are fun to watch. 4 comments 2/13/2006 09:23:00 AM An Apple a Day....... Timeline Ok, so, My ipod died.... it did it about two weeks ago. I noticed it wasn't working properly. I was all bummed out and Jeff was like "Well, you should talk to Apple about it and see if they'll fix it." I didn't think I could do that seeing as I got mine for free and didn't purchase any sort of warrenty. I looked into it anyway and figured out that ipods come with a year warrenty from the date that it is registered. Sweet, so I went to the Apple website and looked at what I needed to do. They kept telling me to reformat the ipod and this and that... and I had already tried that stuff, so, then I found the repair form... this is where it gets crazy cool. Apple has probably the best customer service/ repair service in the world. Check out this time line: Jan 29 9:30PM - I fill out an online form telling Apple about about my problem. Jan 29 9:45PM - They send me an email telling me what the problem sounds like and letting me know that they are sending a box for me to ship my ipod back to them in. Jan 31 11:ishAM - I get the box and put my ipod in it. The instructions tell me to drop the box off at a DHL location or call them to have them pick it up. I decided to figure that out later. Jan 31 5:30PM - I have a second so I decide to call DHL. The lady asks me if they can still pick it up that night. I'm like "Heck yes you can!!!" They pick it up around 7ish Feb 01 - Apple recieves my product. Feb 02 - Apple figures out the problem, decides they need to send me a replacement, and ship me one with in the same day. Feb 03 - From the DHL Tracking number... it looks like I'll be getting my ipod today. Holy Moley, that is amazing. The whole process took six days from when I submitted the form to when I will recieve the package. That is so awesome and fantastic... I needed to share it with the world and let everyone know that Apple officially rocks. (Click on the picture or here to see Apple's official repair status.) Also, on a sort of persuade-you-to-love-Apple-and-hate-competitor-side note. Check out this sadness. 2 comments 2/03/2006 08:52:00 AM
