New Most Played Song

Well I had iTunes running and all of a sudden everything stopped and then Fetch Loaded and rewrote my index.html file for my blog to update this. Which is what I expected but not when I wanted it to happen exactly. So today decided to make it a cron job to be run at night when I am not at the computer along with the other normal mac repair stuff it does at night.

So enjoy the new song that took over the Wallflowers. Modest Mouse currently has 62 plays where as wallflowers now has 61 plays. So we shall see what happens. If anything 11,000 songs to search through it might be a while unless I get hooked on a song.

Blog Size

I did an SSH into my webserver and the total size of this Blog is 11MB. That is 11MB of text I have typed since September 14th 2003 on here. Just thought everyone should know.

Assualt on Precint 13

Okay I went and saw this movie with the McLee and Jon and some other misc people. I really enjoyed the film until the end when things just started to go crazy. It was great until the part where all of a sudden they are in the woods and you start to think Woods. WTF where did woods come from. That was a bit crazy. But other then the end making no sense at all I rate this movie as a 7 that could have been an 8 if woods would be in the industrial part of Detroit. I was impressed with the camera work and the way I didn't notice the music at all because it just blended in so well. Movie flowed will with no stop on the action but opening the movie up with a drug deal and the F word so many times was like Whoa. Then Gunfire and then the movie just kinda took off from there. There was good use of hot chicks they actually did something I was impressed.

The sound quality in the theater sucked with a constant hissing of the film and I caught a blip of the DTS Time Code on the actual film once. But I tend to notice those kinda things. Also the part where it said "8 months later" was cutoff do to poor cropping of the film when it was 2.35:1 in the theater and the actual movie was filmed in 2.40:1 aspect ratio. Which means if this comes out in Full Frame or Pan and Scan which is 1.33:1 if your lucky on a TV there is a lot of loss and those people who say Widescreen sucks. Your an idiot do you realize how much of the film you are losing watching the full frame. Most people have never seen Star Wars in Widescreen and the aspect ratio of that film is in 2.40:1. People buy these 16:9 TV's and still complain about the black bars on them. But people don't really take any time to get a full understanding of how film works.

I got a phone call from Unavailable ID while I was in the theater left no voice mail. Last time I got an Unavailable ID at a movie theater left me a death threat and didn't take that to lightly and got the police dept involved and got a call from them and the phone company on that issue last time and it has been resolved. I called my Sheriff friend on this and with no voicemail to do any kind of searching on they couldn't do anything. Sprint didn't offer much help either. If it would have been Unkown I would have answered it because it could have been someone at Sirius or XM having a question about an e-mail or the website.

Well anyways that was the night in a nutshell. Played some WoW got Gypsy Mod installed now off to bed.

Dream I Had

I had a dream that Mac's were taking over the computing world and things were more Mac like. I had a remote that I could access everything with I could walk up to a door and remote would get a spec sheet on the door telling me things like the voltage of the door and how many times people accessed the door. Then I could login into the door with SSH and give it some commands via Linux Terminal It was pretty sweet. And then I came home and all the walls were like a mosiac slideshow with little parts of the walls kept flipping over and over changing the way the walls would display and if someone called it would show who was calling in the wall tiles it was pretty sweet. And then I looked down and saw my SkyFi2 just sitting there and then I hit rewind on Oceanlab - Satellite so I could hear it again I love that song. I am also addicted to Derb by Derb great song just heard it last night called in and requested it for the 33.3333333 countdown on BPM XM 81.

I still have yet to hear back on my idea for Sirius Raw Dog Comedy probably get some canned response. I don't even know why I bother to e-mail Sirius with cool suggestions to make radio even better when they don't e-mail me back. So till then I just post at SiriusBackstage. Well I am off to bed and going to do some planet hacking tomorrow. Perhaps I will decrease the temperature of the earths core by 1/2 a degree and somehow find a way for a volcano to spawn in Indiana and Force an evact or be vaprized.

Man okay that post seemed very stupid. Guess had a childhood flashback for a moment there.

DJ Peran - Want to Be Free


We Want to Be Free
Have to iTunes it for ya =) There are two different mixes of the song it's a good one I picked up the single since it was only $1.98. But it's a great track the music video is good on Ministry of Sound Mainly because it shows hot girls washing a car while getting naked.

A friend of mine said having Nudity on a Blog brings in more visitors. ;-) lol

Anyways have a meeting tomorrow with the production company need to think up some ideas so they can make money. Getting kinda tired of being a DJ at weddings and doing shows for drinks when me the Tech Guy doesn't really drink at all. So we shall see what we can come up with. We will be having Thai Food so that will be good. Then got some party on Sat night for Kenneth since he is leaving. So there will be lots of drinking at that. Not really into drinking that much I like relaxing with the buddies having a brew of Fat Tire but other then that drinking not my thing. Have Sunday and Monday off two days in a row. Get some homework and some slacking completed. Been kinda shopping for a newer car perhaps a Dodge Dakota? We shall see with the Tax Refund =). Got a new job offer from my step sister pay would be a lot more and great experience for a resume doing some network security. That would be good and it's Full Time so we shall see where that goes. =)

Hope everyone is well.

Ollie vs the Brawny Man




Jason said they look alike. What does the Blogging Community Say?

XM Comedy

Well I am just sitting here at my desk just doing some homework and listening to my SkyFi 2 and I had been thinking about this idea for a while and I just got a little refresh on why Satellite Radio is so great. I sent this little e-mail last night to XM Comedy channel 150 since I like XM Comedy more then Sirius Raw Dog Comedy mainly because of sound quality and content. I sent this e-mail.

From: Tristan Pipo
Reply-To: Tristan Pipo
To: xmcomedy@xmradio.com
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2005 15:49:25 -0800
Subject: XM Comedy Ideas

I have been an XM Subscriber since 2001 and have loved XM Comedy since
that day it has been great. It was great when Mark used to run the
channel until he had that run in with the law. But I like what spin
Sonny and Joel have put on the channel. But I would like to get more
into the Comedy Club Scene but it takes a long time to browse all the
websites. Has XM Comedy ever thought of doing a little bit of Comedy
News like like on BPM XM 81's Bullet Points? At the end of the news
give out where all the major comics are playing you could do it maybe
like once every 3hrs or something. Just an idea I had I thought I
would share.

Keep up the awesome work.

And I was sitting here this afternoon and Joel Hass one of the PD people on XM Comedy called me and said that he really liked the idea. And was going to run it by Sonny his boss and that they were always open to more ideas and they knew who I was because of all my past work on ClubXM.com and my posts on XMFan.com which is pretty cool to be known. I have yet to recieve this kind of feedback from Sirius when I send anything in. The only time I got to get feedback from Sirius is when I went with the crew of SiriusBackstage.com in October 2003 which was probably one of the most amazing times in my life which I will treasure always. But anyways just thought I would share that since it was something awesome that I got to experience. Getting a phone call from XM =).

Favorite Movie: Sideways



I had the pleasure of seeing Sideways at the Lynnwood Theater on Bainbridge Is. Since that was the only spot it was playing that was of any close distance in WA. I must say this is probably one of the best films I have ever seen. It's a tale of Miles and Jack and a journey they have on Jack's last week before having to get married. And they meet two girls on a trip through the californian wine country and everyone can imagine what happens.

You can view the trailer here Sideways Trailer: Large It's not really a mainstream film but it has been nomiated for several awards. This is one of the few great movies that come around every so often if you just take the time to watch it. It wasn't playing in many theaters but if you have the chance to still see it please do. I keep hunting Amazon.com for a DVD Release Date.

New Song

Well I have yet to hear this on any XM or Sirius Satellite Radio channel and I have looked and I have heard this song before but I found it on iTunes and had to get it. So for all those who would like to pick up this song here is the link.
Such Great Heights


It's a little quirky but it just sounds really good and happy it's something that kinda reminds me of a Modest Mouse but with a bit of electronica sound to it.

Ohh in case you haven't found it me and Preston have been working on some projects together and I will announce that more in detail when we finish up the first project and move on to the second for everybody to check it out. Anyways download legal music it will make you feel good. =)

I have made 80 cents so far from iTunes Links on my site =)

EDIT:: Here is where I had heard the song before TomThinks.com

Napolean Dynamite Sounbaord

Napolean Dynamite Soundboard

Finally quotes all day long =)

Drinks

Having been 21 for a little over 7 months now I have had the joy of trying many different drinks. I have sampled Beer, Hard A and Wine. Now each has their own desire in my book I am not a big drinker and have been really f'd up three times but have yet to experience a hangover. I am not a big beer fan but there are two beers that I enjoy one is an Amber Ale and the other is a Dark Beer. And they are Fat Tire and Snowcap.

I am sitting here waiting in the Que for World of Warcraft sipping some Fat Tire while eating some licorice. While Listening to XM Radio Channel 27 Cinemagic they were playing Pulp Fiction and now American Beauty 2 of my favorite movies. I am a little of a movie addict I am a regular at Imdb.com and AintItCool.Com but anyways. I guess I am posting this in case people come here wanting to know what makes Tristan Tick. I have gotten the nickname from my Sister of the Godfather. So I told some people at work about this so now everybody at Work calls me the Godfather. The Guild I am in in World of Warcraft calls me the Godfather of the Ales since I am a dwarf and dwarfs like to drink. Well anyways 4th in line now. Everyone have a good one. Hit up the cell if you need some more 411. =)

Delphi SkyFi2

Well I have had this gadget for a few weeks now and I must say I love the new features in this radio over any of my Sirius or Past XM Units. Being able to pause live radio. Or Rewind It or listen to music it recorded and then fast forward over songs that were played next that I don't want to listen to. I love being able to get up pause the radio go to the bathroom get a sandwich come back and hit play and continue on like I never left off. I can't wait until Sirius get's their PNP out that can do this. That will bring the count up to 2 XM Radio's. 3 Sirius. I guess I am an addict to music and Satellite Radio.

My Music gadgets are as Follows.. 2 XM Radio's, 3 Sirius Radio's, iPod, Powerbook, DIscMan, Boombox, CD Player in Car. I am addicted to music me thinks. iTunes is a godsend of the best software for Mac or PC. I would be totally lost without iCal and Address Book.

TaDa

Flakes and Cell Phones

Today I got a little annoyed by the same shit that always happens. Preston and Ollie have cell phones. They can't pay the bill on them. So now all communication routed for them comes through me and it pisses me off. I got a text message from Stephanie (Preston's Sister) someone I haven't heard from in a while asking how I was doing. I was like sweet this is awesome hearing from a close friend that I haven't heard from in a long time. Then after I said well she replies with is Preston there. To which I replied. I am not his keeper I am not a router of communcation for Preston. Try getting a holf of him via e-Mail. To which I got a response of "Fuck you Thanks a Alot". WTF I am tired of getting a call from someone only they want somebody else. Thanks for making me feel great. I am not the Keeper of the Preston or the Ollie I don't know what they are doing 24/7. I may know a lot about my friends and what they are doing but they have other methods of being reached other then me.

My friend asked to borrow my cell phone because his was down. I am anal about most pieces of technology that I own and not about to let someone borrow my cell phone all night long for something I am not there for. I get a lot of calls that I need to answer don't want that person who wanted to borrow my phone to have the ability to talk to that person. But yet I am a dick for not letting them borrow it.

I am also tired of chicks flaking out. It seems to be a growing trend among young ladies. I set plans months and months in advanced and then when the day gets here they are busy. Thanks Shows who is important this happens more and more. So now I am of the thinking I will call you say it's an invite but I really don't expect you to show up because you flake every other time. Then I ask them if I wasted my time calling them. Sometimes I think I am just giving them a guilt trip but if you flake on me when we made plans I have the right I feel to do such things.

Doing stuff like that shows me that you are unreliable and being unreliable is not something you want to be. Oh well life goes on maybe I will find that girl who is not a flake. A girl that can actually follow through on something that they say they will do. Also what's the deal with not returning phone calls if you don't want to talk to me let me know. Don't pull this childish crap of not returning the phone calls. I need a form of closure or something to let me know to stop wasting time thinking about what is going on. Takes anywhere from 7-11 #'s Dialed and about 45 seconds of Hello's and then letting me know what's up. But I guess that is just to much for some people.

Another thing is people that want to have deep conversations on text messages. That is pure crap a text message should be like. "Hey What's up wanna catch a movie at 10?" Reply "Sure" Reply "Sweet I will call you later to work out rides etc. =)". I also don't understand how people don't use T9 Word it makes things so much more simple. Let's say you want to say the word cool. You would type in 2665 and if cool doesn't spell out you press next until it pops up and you are good to go. Works with pretty much every word I have tried and if it doesn't T9 on my phone will learn the word after you use it three times. But with the regular mode to type in cool you would have to type in 222666666555 but people don't get T9 word. Well it takes about 2 mins to figure it out. If you need help I would be more then willing so you can express a larger thought with less button pressing.

Anyways I shall End Rand Now. Have a good night or Morning or Day whenever the world gets around to reading my post. Happy Thursday to Everyone and Thanks for the comments Junniper always good to hear from a local democrat.

Credit Cards

I have a few credit cards and most of them sit with a balance of $0 because as soon as I charge something to them I pay them off online. But I just find it funny they still send me a bill. I got one for $0 today but there was a coupon for $20 any purchase $50 or more. So it's time to go buy some pants =).

So just good to have them just in case I get into deep shit and need some help out in a Jam. So good to have credit cards if used properly. But still killing all these trees to send me a Bill of $0 I will always find that amusing.

Tristan Pipo

Well lets see what happened today? I thought I would be witty with my iChat away message and had "I think you have my stapler... Working" But nobody seemed to find it as funny as I would have hoped. I would thought it was funny if I got home and there had been. OFfice Space! But eh.

Work nothing really exciting same old routine of being in a routine. I am coming up on 1 year of being employee being there so that means a raise of some kind and vacation time. Where should I go? I don't know. I am looking for a new job since I don't get any satisfaction from my current job. I don't feel like I get the respect I deserve the only person I really get along with there is Adam. I go hang out with him his wife and his kids a lot at his place and we always have a good time. I see what he has and I think wouldn't it be great to have all that. But he envy's my lifestyle in a lot of ways cause I am totally free so I am never sure what to think about that.

I found a little flaw in my applescript for the site. If it can't find a track in the iTunes Music Store the link generator f's up. So I had to switch it to manual update for a while so sorry about this it currently is showing the most played iTunes Music Store Song.

I have a crush on this girl now but not sure what is really there I really like her and I think it's mutual but I am the shy type so I won't really go after it until I get some sign or maybe I should just think no guts no glory. Plus she lives like an hour south. But I pass her place once a week on my way home from class. But I would me more then willing to do anything to see this girl smile. I don't know I got a free plane ticket maybe I should go meet an internet friend. I was thinking maybe Kevin go hang with him in Ohio that could be fun make a fool of myself get drunk with a good buddy and just see what kind of girls we could pick up in Ohio. I don't know I am sure he would be more then down for that.

I try not to get to personal on this Blog but I don't know just kinda down about where life is. Things could be better but they could be worse I don't know. Oh well.

Goodnight Everyone Hope your Life is giving you exactly what you want.

Comcast Internet Rocks. TV Sucks

http://news.com.com/Comcast+raises+broadband+speed/2100-1034_3-5537306.html

Well I will be getting 6Mbps Downstream with the Ultra Hi Speed Comcast Cable Internet. What can I do with all that extra bandwith? I can hack the planet take over small countries with my Mac at 6Mbps instead of 4Mbps. I also get the faster upload of 768Kbs so I can stream an Audio Stream to more people at 128Kbps. So yeah anyways. Point to post? Cable isi better then DSL and I hate those stupid local commercials cable company's insert over what they were going to show. I hate that and the commercials are always crap local stuff that was filmed on a crappy 8mm camera. DirecTV is godly for quality and choices. =) Anyways.

Day Off Work Today perhaps go see a movie. But My Hopes are out to Alyse with her heart problems if you need anything let me know. Anyways back to hacking the planet.

The Power of a Blog

I was just thinking today. This Blog is pretty much life on the web posting whenever I have a free second. This isn't going anywhere. This is my life here posted on the web for everyone to read what Tristan Pipo is doing at any given moment or what I just finished doing. Anyone that wants to can come here and see what Tristan is all about or what he likes or doesn't like to do.

I can imagine if I still have this 20 years from now all the archives. All the posts everything will be on here. I will be 41 and still have this Blog of my thoughts of what is going on. It will be crazy that will be a lot of text I post 4-5 times a week man. Amazing what this could turn out to be.

Welcome to Tristan Pipo's Blog. I am Tristan and hope you enjoy learning what makes me tick.

Applescript and iTunes

Well I got bored and wrote a little script that would take my most played song in iTunes and post it on my Blog and put a link to the song if you want to buy it. This is updated live so that could be up there for a while. Anytime a change in the playlist of the most played song happens it will be updated lived for everyone to download. 99 Cents a song isn't a bad deal if you ask me. Plus the quality is amazing. It's my first ad on the blog and only make 5cents off every download this is just a way to pay for my blogging hobby. Since it costs me $7 a month plus the $8 a year domain fee for SiriusDude.com. So if you feel like supporting me and getting a great song there is the link for you. =)

The power of applescript and a Tristan.

What Happens Next

Well I have been seeing this posted around town and thought it would be a good way to spend an evening with someone that I enjoy spending time with. I planned on taking Kacey but she has turned into a bit of a homebody and any time I suggest we hang out she is busy with something. Oh well though no worries. So I turned to Alyse but she had a health condition that would prevent her and we hung out the night before got to meet her parents and we played Catch Phrase where the ladies owned the men at that game. Oh well I kinda expect that with family games having played Taboo and those type of games with my ex learning that girls are most of the time more skilled in such areas.

So I then tried the other ladies I know and they all seemed busy with boyfriends etc. So yeah that was out Preston was going to come but Preston seems to enjoy his new lady more then us. So we all think WTF! Preston Bro's Before Ho's. But we all saying that if we had a girl we would so ditch each other for her ;-). But anyways I ended up going with Ollie. Seen Here.


So we get there and there wasn't many people there but what can you expect for a small little theater in Poulsbo. But we were sitting there and watching the show and there was this cute blonde there in the show she didn't really seem to take much time to get involved but still Me and Ollie thought she was cute. Then just before the show started these two girls came in one had nice legs the other had pink pants and pink shoes she seemed cute. But this show was really funny as hell. It was worth to go see with the Student Discount for $6 I would recommend it to anyone that I saw. In the end it was a good show. Now I will be heading home from Ollies.

Peace out everyone. Thank You and Goodnight.

Greatest Drug Ever

Wednesday, January 12, 2005

You Know your Addicted to XM.

I am more of a Sirius Addict but I dig XM just as much.... But this was just to funny.

You find yourself humming or whistling the XM "Theme" (those 7 notes you always hear).

You find yourself calling AM/FM stations "channels".

You don't even listen to FM anymore.

You find yourself going crazy when you are stuck with a rental car or your parents car without XM

Anytime you listen to FM and look at the radio expecting to find out the Title & Artist Info on the screen.

You got to a party and bring your boombox. After you brag it up to everyone for a while they all can't help but wonder if you are really a salesman for xm.

You would rather spend money on XM equipment istead of TV.

Someone asks you "what's new?" and you start by telling them about something you heard on XM...

You quit your job because you don't have a south facing window

All your presets on your car radio are tuned to the modulator frequency for XM

You're watching TV wondering what you're missing on XM

You officially change your name to "Xavier Mathew Fanatic"

You wanted a new Mercedes hardtop convertable, but get a GM car instead because it came with XM built in.

When you have th XM 7-note jingle as the ring tone for your cellphone!

Stickers on your car/suv/truck are all about XM... making you a XMredneck

XM is the only thing that can help you sleep at night

Your car battery dies because you were listening to xm for too long with the engine off

You buy a new stereo system in home/car to get best sound quality possible from xm

You've spent hours running wires out of your home stereo and up through the walls to pump XM through your entire house with your intercom system. Ah...XM in every room, plus the back deck!

You rig a SkyFi car kit in your barn so you can listen while you are grilling steaks.

You intentionally switch all the way over to the third lane because you know that the signal does not cut out when going under a certain bridge in that lane.

You look forward to the day that AM and FM has to advertise on XM just to have and hope of surviving.

You know the XM channel lineup better than what your friends like to do for fun.

XM is so important, that you wait to finish hearing the program and you miss the first 5 minutes of the movie in the theater.

You call the DJ on your favorite channels and they know your voice and you don't have to give your name, cause you call so often.

You elect to go through the drive through (knowing they very well will screw up youre order) but you risk it anyway because you dont want to leave you're vehicle

You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to XM.

MacWorld Expo

Well I just finished watching the keynote from the MacWorld Expo and a lot of great products coming from Apple. The one I like the most is the new Mac Mini which is just a sweet little piece of computing heaven. A Computer that weighs 2.5lbs and is only 2.5''x6.5''x6.5'' That is a sweet little mac for $499 this is what will get people to switch get this little mac and get a bigger one later. Only thing I don't like about it is the ATI Radeon 9200 with 32MB of Video Ram.

Some new things were the iPod Shuffle. Makes me regret getting the pen drive that I did ;-). Then iLife 05 I will be picking that up along with iWork since Keynote 2 will be packaged with that. I love keynote over powerpoint makes giving presentations a snap and lot more control then Powerpoint ever gave me.

Ahh it was a good day for a Mac Head. I can't wait to try the HD video editing in iMovie and I will have to upgrade to Final Cut Express HD ;-).

iPhoto and iDVD will be fun to play with also. Ahh the world of the Mac User.

As always Alyse it was awesome to hang out with you today, Sorry I kept falling asleep being a tad sick and not sleeping much can do that to you. Let me get some Bawls in me and life will be grand. Wednesday Here we go.

I am going to bed early tonight 9:15 crazy so if you need to talk tonight call the cell.

Peace.

Porn Controls More then you Think

I picked this up from /. and they had an article on ZDNet saying that the next generation DVD Standard is pretty much up to the Porn Industry since they produce the most titles out onto the DVD Format over everyone. I am pulling for HD-DVD.

Porn industry mulls next-generation DVD

This is just to funny that an industry that pretty much created the need for Hi-Speed Internet and a format like DVD is controlling how we will view the next format of DVD. I wonder if Al Sharpton knows about this? I remember when he was boycotting XM Radio for getting Playboy Radio and not carrying his Network the Word Network. Sirius picked up the Word Network though. A useless channel.

Back to work.

E-Mail

Ugh.. Stupid SMTP settings I think Comcast has screwed up with SMTP. I can't send any mail from my SiriusDude.com accounts or my .Mac Account. But if I login to SquirrelMail, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail, Excite Mail, .Mac Webmail. I have no problems. Probably because they are in a different world. Oh well if you e-mail tristan@siriusdude.com I will reply to you from Tristan.Pipo@gmail.com or if I can hit it on SquirrelMail before Mail on my Mac Gets it then I will hit you back from Tristan@siriusdude.com or if you e-mail my cell phone I might e-mail you back if it only requires a short reply. So anyways it's a world out there full of e-mail that I am not sending. But you just send it to gMail like most of the world does then you have no worries. Just for those few poeple that like to send me some POP3 E-mails you are the ones that will have a delay while I settle the issue with Comcast. Those Comcast Communist Commies. C^3 w00t.

Alright!

So me and Preston are finally starting what we meant to do a year or so ago. But now we have the resources. I will post updates when we get them. But first thing is first.

White Noise Review. Movie Rating.. C-

I wanted to be scared not watch a man's obsession with the dead. I thought this movie had so much more potential then what it turned out to be. A lot of little sub plots were starting to develop but you never find out what happens or what they would add to the story. Maybe that is for an extended DVD Release perhaps. But the movie comes in at 1hr 49mins more then enought time to achieve their goal.

Some things I don't get. The evil spirits WTF is their deal you never know anything about them. Just that they exist. What causes them to exist how come they can touch you when other spirits can't. Michael Keaton does a decent job of playing a weirdo guy obsessed with his dead wife. The trailer is a great setup for what is a horrible movie. A documentary style film would have been great. That Sci-Fi show where they go looking for ghosts has more of a fear factor then White Noise. A few scenes did get me tapping my knee and I jumped twice but 2004 and Jan 2005 has been a total let down for movies that had a chance to scare me. Case and Point.. The Village, The Grudge, White Noise, Resident Evil. There was more suspense in the last month of 2003 with Return of the King in the Battle Scenes.

At least a good movie came out on DVD. Troy something along the par with gladiator since King Aruthur should have been called King Shit I have a great movie idea here but a newbie director f's it up.

The Underdog of 2004 was Napolean Dynamite. I didn't give this movie much of a chance because it was something I saw with Preston and his now Ex Girlfriend who has seemed to disappear of the face of the earth since about 2 weeks ago. But I gave the DVD a screening and I liked it the second time just because it was a funny view at that one guy you went to school with and his life being that guy. All I have to say is Give me Some of Your Tots! And Friggin Sweet. Or That's like a Dollar an Hour.

Off to go see Sideways with Will and Alyse. If we had a friend named Irene we could call ourselves Wait. But I guess we will settle with WAT, TAW, TWA, ATW, WTA, AWT. Oh well we are waiting for Irene, Ian, Issac to join the little movie tonight.

Have a good one everyone. Happy Birthday Ollie.

Great Day

Well last night was a let down and I was a bit shaken by it because the person that I had a connection with decided to do a 180 on me. But Yeah.

So I was a bit hurt and confused so whenever I have a little girl Issue I always call Kevin since we always seem to be on the same page on the girl issue. He is 21 lives in Ohio met him through Sirius and he was one of the few people that had understood what I was going through a year or so ago with my ex girlfriend. And we always bounce ideas off each other. So I called him and I instantly felt better about the situation some things still bothered me and then I sent a text message to Tara. Well since she has a real issue on talking on the phone and doing text messaging on a cell phone isn't a real effective way to have a real conversation I gave that up quickly. Then I had the stroke of luck that Kacey signed on and getting to talk to her was great. Kacey is one of those few girls that I can really trust that I just get along with so well. I thought I had that with the person I had a real connection with since I won't mention her name because she doesn't want to me made public but it you want to see what's up hit my AIM Name up on my profile.

But talking to her was great she seemed to understand what I was going through because this also has happened to her in the past. But yeah even though yesterday evening sucked talking to people the people I can really count on made today great I was in the greatest mood all day. These days are rare. And with the threat of snow tonight I am going to skip school because it's a long ass drive I really don't want to make at night around the sound in snow with these WA People not having experienced 2 Indiana Winters like I had the joy or misfortune to do.

Thanks for stopping by my Blog

Clocks

I have way to many ways to tell time. XM Satellite Radio SkyFi2 Clock, Sirius Satellite Radio Audiovox PNP3 Clock, iPod Clock, Laptop Clock, Windows XP Clock, Alarm Clock, Wall Clock, Cell Phone.

It's not that I need that many and never noticed I had so many until now.

On my person I have my iPod, Cell Phone and Watch to tell time when I am out and about and they are all within seconds of each other. But when I am out I try never to look at the clock. I check my cell phone though to make sure it's after 7pm for free phone calls though. Free Long Distance Kicks Ass. I could call Alabama if I wanted. Though I don't know anyone there I could if I really wanted to.

Laptop Setup


My new laptop Setup on my desk. I got a new 19'' Monitor and Got the iPod and the SkyFi2 going and I cleaned up all the bawls bottles. Thank my cell phone for the crappy picture. Thought people might like to see my new workstation. All Mac except the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 4.0. The Geek Setup is nearing completion when I get my new computer hooked up to all of this good times will be had by all.

Blogs, Xanga, MySpace.. Social Sites

More and more people are getting these and they always seem to have a current trend. Music and Video's on them and you are never able turn them off. Or annoying HTML with Blinking Text It is at the point where visiting my friends Social Pages are annoying as hell.

This is plain and simple nothing to annoy you unless you use Internet Explorer then I pity you. This page is Firefox or Safari centered because I like those browsers and they actually work don't slow down and they do not crash. But all the music and annoying HTML and Video's need to stop on these sites. There are sites for that purpose and I would rather visit those via link then being forced to watch something I don't want to.

Everything is linked that I feel you as a viewer should look at. The only shameless plug I do is for iTunes because I make 5% of every song you buy from a link on here. And I only put songs that I really think you should get legally. Other then that nothing on here is forced upon you. I have no Ads that annoy you just some graphics of stuff that I believe in.

So here is to the web being uncluttered and clean.
