i thought this was a joke at first. a guy in alaska actually built a rovot that you sit in and control. It shoots fire from it's hands and if you win it on ebay, the designer will throw in nail guns so you can pretend you're a transformer. can anyone lend me $40,000? i neeeed this!

a wise man once said...

ok, so i'm going over an old blog i once had, and i read this post that seems to apply to how i'm feeling right now. kinda funny.

at least to me...

"summer time is here!! can i just say that i love summer. i love the pools, the smell of the bbq's, the food, the sitting in the sun. but have you ever noticed that memorial weekend is the kick-off for summer, and then everyone goes crazy with the pool parties, and bbq's and then it's starts to slow down towards the middle of summer. as soon as august hits, summer might as well be over, because the excitement of it has passed. it's not new anymore. by that point, everyone is getting bummed that fall is on the way. so the bbq's become less frequent, and the pool parties calm down. and it's not fun, just hot. but anyway, that's life. peace."

freaking crappy crap!!

i just noticed teh date of the post where i talk about my iBook being in the shop. now it's been quite a change being without a computer. i've been struggling to say the least. but now noticing the date, it's been 2 WEEKS!! freaking crappy crap!! dang it i want my computer back!

ok bye

amazing

i always wanted to put this on my website, but i always forgot.

lisa and i went to the city and were walking around at peir 39 and this girl was sitting on the sidewalk drawing these. it was seriously amazing. and she didn't cheat!!

update

well the ol' ibook is in the shop. seems to be a little problem with the logic board. i think they're going to replace the hd also, so i'm looking at a nice bill :)

so i'm blogging from a school computer. yay.

also, it's taking particularly long to type this out because i'm doing it with one hand. why you might ask? well, i decided to see if i could jump over donnie stewart. i could! *applause* but apparently i can't land without hurting myself after jumping over donnie. i broke my arm. *aawww* so now i'm a gimp. anyway, i'll possibly post some other stuff if i get near a computer fro an extended period of time.

time for class!

2 programs that have changed how i use OS X

don't doubt that i don't love the OS X dock and finder, but Launchbar has made me hardly use the dock or finder to find files, applications, play music, find bookmarks. pretty much everything. you just hit Apple+Space and a little bar pops down under the top menu bar, and you type whatever you want. if you want to listen to Ben Folds, you type ben and a list pops down with your ben folds playlist(if you have one), ben folds albums (if you have any), or you could jsut scroll down the list of ben folds songs that you have. if you have none, then you can open the text file "benevolence.txt" cause it's there too. anyway, that jsut scratches the surface of this awesome program. check out the site for more details.

also, Keyboard Maestro is amazing too. it has a bunch of applescripts already that can do things like controlling iTunes, and the finder. that is hardly the limit to this program. the whole idea is that you build "macro's" that are basically lists of applescripts, so you can automate common tasks. you activate the macro's by hitting key combinations. you can also set them to happen when you open programs, or at a specific time, or whatever. you can make one that will resize and position your windows to a specific way whenever you open iChat, or whatever. the coolest part is that it's so versitile, and is pretty easy to use (once you get the hang of it). i do suggest you read through the manual and set up the sample macro so you can understand it. at first it can seem overwhelming, but that's just cause it's powerful. anyway, gnite.

just so we're all on the same page

i've decided to join the rest of the people my age and go back to school. well, to school. so i left my job :( and am focusing on school. so far, it's been pretty fun. i'm in Interpersonal Psychology and Cultural Anthroplogy. umm... classes are mon-fri 12pm-3pm... and i think that's about it.

my computer needs prayer

is that like blasphemy or something? iono...

so my computer is sick or something. i could explain what's going on with it, but it's kindof exausting, and i'd rather use my energy to actually fix it. well, i'd like to think that my enrgy is enought o fix it, but i don't think that it is. at this point disk warrior's enrgy isn't enought to fix it. sigh..

ok, time for bed.

this is my life. am i who i want to be???

(pondering)

(turn the emo on)

(more pondering)

...........no

is this my life? i didn't earn this life. i didn't win it in a raffle. as i recall, this life is a gift.

(still more pondering, the emo helps)

if this life is a gift, should i be who the one that gave it to me wants me to be? or did he give it to me along with the choice to be who i want to be? if so, then this is my life.

a new beginning

my life at FCC is over...

hmm. maybe not over, but definatley different. bromley made a good point. now what am i gonna complain about?

ok, i know that i haven't posted an actual blog in a while. i've got a couple potm's i've been wanting to put up here, so stay tuned. i've also been working on a post that as been really hard for me. when it finally makes it way up here, you'll think i'm a retard, but it's been hard for me to get past a certain point.

oh! i started school last week. so far it's been pretty cool. i actually enjoy one of my classes, and the other one is going to be interesting too. we'll see if i enjoy this one too. i just started that one today, so it's too soon to tell. anyway, you'll probably hear some more about that later.

peace, i'm out.
