It’s always a negative!

This was purely by accident, I looked at the number of chars in this file and it just so happen to be 1337, this was actually a file from my professor, and I don’t see him as the type that would try to make his file come out to say 1337. Thought it was interesting *shrug*. I’ll also be posting more of my code as type progress for people who wish to have examples of this stuff, as i couldn’t find much on the interwebs.

Those who know me and who have read my blog know I’m not religious in any sort of way, and generally get annoyed by it.  However I’m a firm believer of freedom of religion.  I have the right to not believe in any higher power.  It also always aggravates me when I see our political leaders use religion as cannon fodder.  It’s just annoying and in my opinion stupid.

With the election coming up this year It would be nice to elect someone who’s not a dumb ass, but also not a religious guppy.  I’m not saying that the person can’t believe in what ever they believe in.  I just want them to respect those other religions that make up the US.  Obama hits on this exact subject in this video and gets a notch up on him.  I haven’t really looked into what the other guy running’s views are, but from what I’ve heard he’s a religious guppy.  The only place a guppy belongs is in a fish bowl, not the melting pot as they say.

Its Feb 5th and lets recap the weather in the last 5 days.

• Feb 1st - Snow Storm
• Feb 2nd - Upper 50s, snow melts
• Feb 4th - Mid 60s
• Feb 5th - Thunderstorms
• Feb 6th - Snow again???

I know Illinois has its ups and downs (litterally) when it comes to weather, but common, pick a tempature and stay at it. (preferably the 60s)

Now  that’s a cool ass fish tank!  I totally want one.  Although, it looks like some hippies put some of their bongs together and was like: “Hey man, what if we like glued these together and like, put fish in them.. woaw.. That’d be awwwwwwsome.”  Anyways, I thought they were cool.

So it’s been a while since I made a post on my blog.  Not too much has happened.  Classes started again.  This semester I have Circuits Analysis II, Digital systems design, Differential equations, and engineering ethics *coughghaycough*.  So far so good I would say.  We’ll see after the first test though.

Got a book scanner not to long ago, started scanning my books in, I’ve got a few chapters from two of my books scanned in.  it doesnt take that long, I just haven’t had too much time at home to do it.

Marti Gras is coming up here soon.  Looking forward to that, if the weather cooperates.

Meet a girl, her name if Valerie.  Super cute, pretty dorky like me, we’re getting along pretty well.  I’m not taking it too fast because she’s going to the Coast Guard around June for boot camp, then to some training thing, so she’s gonna be gone for like 6 months.  Maybe I should try speeding things up ;-). Anywho, I can’t do long distance relationships and I don’t think she can either.  So we’ll see how that goes.

Oh, the name of the post is about today.  I was try’n to get my buddy to buy me a snack.  I said taco’s.  After a bit of debate, he said he’d get me one if i ate a “fire” packet of taco bell sauce.  I did.  Thus I’m getting a free taco.  I think that’s a fair trade.

Anyways, that’s it, I’ll try to come up with more stuff to put up here from time to time.

I’ve played my share of web games.  I get bored at work, and don’t always have a good enough comp to play extensive games. So I go to fun web games to take up the time.  Normally they catch my attention for a while, but then they just get boring.  I started playing Kingdom of Loathing. It’s a web RPG that goes beyond normal web RPG’s.  Think of how a game would be if you had a bunch of super geeks who drink all the time and can’t draw.  Thats KoL.  Everything is stick drawn, and everything is witty, and references to a ton of stuff intertwined.  You can find refernces from movies, to history, to books, to poetry.   I commonly use the KoL Wiki to search for howto’s and info about items and quests.  Pretty indepth stuff for a simple web game.  I highly recommend it to anyone who has a desk job or dosen’t like to / can’t play the mainstream games.

 t’s been a while since my last real post, and for good reason. This semester was a bitch, and the end of it was evidence of this. I worked my ass of all semester to get good grades, and well at least I passed all my classes. Although, I’m happy to report I aced my programming class, 99.87 to be exact. I got a 103 on the final hehe. Now if only i could have done that on my calc final. However, I did pass calc, which is more than I could say for the fall. In retrospect, I should have just talked to Dr. Neath and I probably could have gotten the C. I wish I had talked to my cousin earlier than a week or two after the semester was over. I took engineering economics over again this semester, I failed it miserably in the spring. This semester I was doing good, but I suck at tests, I can teach people how to do this shit, but when it comes to the test, I suck it up. Mostly because they were multiple choice. I’m much better at computational stuff. The “one” computational quiz we got, I aced. I digress, I got a C I passed, I suppose I should be happy. What I am happy for though is I got a B in the seconds semester of physics. That was a hard course, but for some reason I got it, I understood it. I probably would have gotten a A had I not fubard the last test. I’m an idiot and suck at tests. I always go to fast and didn’t have time to review the test. I should just be happy with my B, but damn it I want A’s.

n other news, Leslie and I broke up. Not cause we hate each other or anything bad. We just decided we were poor matches. Just different outlooks on the world and values. You know, we are actually happier and have more fun being just friends. Which is great. I wish my relationship with Jessica had gone this way, but I’m sure I had a bit to contribute to how it went down. However, she’s over reacted several times and so it takes both parties for friendship to work out.

Leslie and I already swapped Xmas presents. We’re not going to see each other on Xmas, so it just made sense. Leslie collects the vintage collection games that sell at Target. I was there one day and saw they came out with some new ones. I picked her up Risk, only because I love the game, and it was a game of luck/strategy, so I thought she might like it. She did, at first (when she was winning) however, the next round I was dominating her. And she wasn’t having fun. I did it again the third round and that was it. So she took it home and played with her parents, and she wants a rematch cause she thinks she understands how its played now. I’ll be ready. She got me a fun Mario shirt, and a sushi making kit. Haven’t made any sushi yet, but I can’t wait! =)

h, BTW, mother nature is a bitch! Had a huge party planned out for my birthday last Saturday. Had a ton of people planning on showing up, even people from back home. What does it do? Snow’s like a mother fucker all day. I got about 10 – 12 people to show up, which was enough for me to have a good time. It just pissed me off to no end.

Well I think that’s enough of an update. I’ll try to get more thoughts up here.

Everyone know’s I’m a big geek.  I started watching a show that i can relate to.  Its called “The Big Bang Theory.”  It’s about these 4 genious nerds who have this gourges beauty move next door.  She’s not a genious like they are so the jokes they make go right over her head.  These guys are super nerds, they work for the physics departments of a local university and meet many of the stereo types of geeky people.  They play WOW, Halo, watch sci-fi, chat on the net, have blogs, etc.  So when they get thrown into every day situations, they are clueless on how to act.  So halarious.  If you know physics and calculus, the jokes some of the jokes will make perfecdt scense.  However if your not familar with high end sciences, well the jokes are still funny, you just may not understand some of them.  Anyways, i Highly recommend watching it.  It plays on CBS, and the next episode will air early next year.  Here’s a little teaser.

I watch phil every once in a while because he has really funny comments on really stupid stuff. Kinda like how the daily show and all those other comedia news people.

So last night I had this really weird dream.  I guess it’s not _that_ weird, but usually these kinda dreams are the result of copious amounts of alcohol the night before, and I didn’t drink at all last night.  Anyways, So Admiral Kirk, Captain Spock and I go to this military camp type thing in my grandparents winnebago.  This was kind of a spar of the moment type of thing cause I didn’t have time to pack, but its ok cause I stayed there not long ago and still had cloths.. *shrug*.  Spock apparently enjoys the pool.  Not to swim, but to do research.  At one point or another he has a confrontation with this almost rubbery looking floating woman.  She was shiny like a hentai girl but didn’t look cell shaded, more like crazy CG gloss.  After this it gets a little fuzzy, but I do remember Kirk and I doing something outside the motor home, almost like.. cleaning up or cooking.. Can’t remember.  Then Spock returns, and we start heading to this meeting, It was pretty late in the day for some military thing.  I thought they all liked super early in the morning type of stuff.  Weird, I haven’t watched any Star Trek in some time, not sure why they popped into my dream all the sudden.  Ah well, another night another fucked up dream.  I really do wish i could record these bastards, I’d make a fortune.
