More Birthday stuff

Well got to the range today, still need to make that a solid monthly occurrence, always a good way to let off steam, and keeps my muscle memory up. Course now I need to call Austin and order more ammo, damn having a favorite ammo that is only from one store in a city 200 odd miles away :/
Ahh well, guess I should get in to reloading, would save me a little money and I could always get the ammo the way I want and like it to be.

Birthdays

well, another year, another birthday :/
fun fun fun
Why is it people make a big deal about birthdays. just another day in my mind pretty much,
maybe I will buy myself something, I am planning on going to the range, need to do that anyway, been a month or so since I did any shooting, Always helps to keep in practice, builds muscle memory (which comes in handy)

Ahh well, to finish my few tweaks for the night and see if I can get any sleep.

Mike Tech Show: Mike Tech Show - Podcast - #30 - 09-24-05

Nice collection of usefull tools to keep on a USB key, I have used one similar for years with my basic computer files as I call them, things I need on any machine I load my "Essintial list"

Record your life...

Ever forget something that you possibly said last year during a friends party when you were drunk. A guy created something that he used for 3 years now recording his conversations and takes it home to this program that transcribes and organizes everything into text that you can search and go back to later and hear the audio from it.

Re-Ripping

So I am sitting here, re-ripping my Harry Potter collection of Books on CD, for the 5th time I think, hoping I can get rip of the skips and bumps I got last time :/
no clue how I got that errors in there, but I did, so I am redoing it, and since I have gotten my iPod I don’t have to worry about the short naming scheme I did with my iRiver (blew it up :( ahh well the drive is now my pocket storage device)
So I am now going with a more interesting naming, I can finally use chapter naming instead of some silly naming convention of title acronym disc and track number :-s

Arrested for being a geek

"The police decided that wearing a rain jacket, carrying a rucksack with a laptop inside, looking down at the steps while going into a tube station and checking your phone for messages just ticked too many boxes on their checklist and makes you a terrorist suspect."

Talk about some of the most screwed up stuff I have read in a while.
Hell I went thru an intergation and 9 month long "investigation" because a co-worker turned me in for making "threats" to fellow employees. Not once did they interview anyone else I worked with about my joking (I have a dark sense of humor, only damn way to deal witht he bullshit out there lately) I have since been fired for making a bloody joke, took em 9 months to figure out I was not a threat and I have no real idea if my record has been cleaned. Fucking annoying is what this shit is.

Nope, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be
allowed to profile certain people. They must conduct random searches
of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper
identification, secret agents who are members of the President's
security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of
Honour winning and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males
between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.
Let's send this to as many people as we can so that the Gloria
Aldreds and other dunder-headed attorneys along with Federal Justices
that want to thwart common sense, feel doubly ashamed of themselves --
if they have any such sense. As the writer of the award winning story
"Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Come on people wake up!!!
And guess who just bombed London?????????

Goddamn Horde

WTF is it with people who play Horde, are they all cocksuckers and assholes? Never fucking fails, I try and quest, minding my own goddamn business and one or 15 of these fucks shows up, waits till I am about to kill what I am fighting and nearly dead myself, then hits me from behind so they get an "Honorable" kill. Fucking people need to get a goddamn life. I play the damn game to relax and I can't quest half the time cause I am bust getting my bleeding body back. Seems lvl 60 horde players most of all are bored and like to gank anyone they see in contested territory. WTF I ignore horde players in alliance territory by and large especially if they are low lvl or lower than me by a good margin. hell the old curtsey of waving to say your just passin thru trying to level just gets a wave and stabbed in the back for me. shit should be marked as a back-stab non-honorable kill, but no, they get the stats showing they got a kill, who cares if it was a back stab. or player 40 odd levels below them. bullshit ass PVP servers. Why I listened to people who suggested I join one is beyond me.

WoW addiction

Ok, World of Warcraft is a bloody addictive game. I think I have spent a couple too many hours walking around killing bearsad deer just to get bits of leather so I can make things :/
How wierd is that?

Just to see what happens

Just wanting to see what really happens when I do this

So Sayeth John

Great Political Joke

A little boy goes to his dad and asks, "What is Politics?"
Dad says, "Well son, let me try to explain it this way: I am the head of the family, so call me The President.
Your mother is the administrator of the money, so we call her The Government.
We are here to take care of your needs, so we will call you The People.
The nanny, we will consider her The Working Class.
And your baby brother, we will call him The Future.
Now think about that and see if it makes sense.
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper.
So the little boy goes to his parent's room and finds his mother sound asleep.
Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy say's to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now,"
The father says, "Great son! Tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about."
The little boy replies, "The President is screwing The Working Class while The Government is sound asleep. The People are being ignored and The Future is in deep shit."
