Halfhearted

As of right now, I'm wasting time. I need to finish my paper for English and I'm still sitting here messing around with the computer. I'm sure I will get it done. I always do.

I did in fact get a remote hose for my paintball gun, I believe that it has some features I wasn't expecting. Hold on for a sec while I check. Yeah, it has an on/off valve and a quick release. I didn't think it was going to have either. I guess that is cool.

Well, I'm at a loss for words and I really need to get to writing. Bye.

I think I want some food

Okay, well I just found out that it may be very affordable for me to run my CO2 from a remote line. The bottle holder is only seven or so dollars. I'm still trying to find a hose that isn't $40. Back when the bottle holder was to expensive I could find a million hoses for cheap, now it is flipped. I guess I'll figure it out some how, or not run remote CO2.

My computer is very dirty. I just noticed that. I probably won't ever clean it back to the bright white, but I may remove the dust sometime.

Oh, and I wrote a paper today. So far all my essays have been on computers in some way. I don't really think I am that much of a nerd, I just know a good bit about them so I can write a decent essay without much effort. I wanted to write about bikes.

Stupid computers... taking over my life.

Well, I'm getting pretty hungry. I think I'm going to call this post quits.

I feel like poo

Okay, first things first. I feel like crap. I didn't want to get up this morning. I don't want to be up now. I really don't want to go to work. None of that matters though because I did get up, I am still up and I have to go to work. At least I'm not pulling two shifts today like I normally would be on Friday.

There are good things to report though. I got my new camera last night. This thing is freakin' awesome. I even enjoy just holding it. I also learned how to audioblog yesterday. It's pretty cool. I actually call my (mobile) blog and it posts an mp3 of that recording. I'm not really sure how useful that is, but it is cool. I guess when I think about it I don't even need a blog at all. Much less a blog that I update with only my cell phone. The real truth is that I just want one. The good thing about blogging is that it is free. I don't have to spend anything to act upon those wants.

Some wants that I harbor do cost a lot of money. For example, I wanted a digital camera. I bought a digital camera, it was expensive. I also want an iPod. I don't have an iPod yet, but I plan on buying one soon. Well, maybe not very soon, but within a few months (I hope).

I also just started a game of chess with Dan. Dan is in Rhode Island. I have heard of people playing games of chess through the mail and I thought that this was a perfect time to try.

Well, I was going to say more, but the ache came back and I'm getting hungry. I think it may be time for me to go. I can assure you that I will be back at some point. But for now, I'm gone.

Waiting sucks.

I was on the phone with Apple for about two hours today. All I had to do was tell them that my keyboard was no longer turning on. How can that take two hours you say? Well I'll tell you, holding. I spent only ten or so minutes talking to a person, the rest was listening to hold music. Holding sucks. On the bright side they are sending me a new keyboard. This process has taken me about two weeks to complete because their customer service center is only open from 6am to 6pm. I was not willing to use 120 minutes of my cell phone just to do that. I am just glad it's over.


Recently I noticed that even though I have made no efforts to update my blog every day, it has happened (for the most part). Even though writing a blurb about my day is pretty easy to do I still feel kinda proud of that. I also have been using my mobile blog much more. I still don't really see how it is vastly different than just writing my thoughts down and posting later, but I like it. I might even like it more than this blog.

Quick thought-
I love iTunes 7.0
I'm getting my new camera today (or tomorrow)
iPhoto still rocks my socks off
I want to play Warcraft

Oh, on the topic of Warcraft, when I play against the computer in multiplayer (easy setting because I'm a n00b) it kicks my butt every time. I can't even fathom how it is able to produce that many units that fast, much less on easy setting. Maybe I'm just that bad.

The other side of it is that Tallon has the same problem. Even if we team up against an easy computer we both get totally owned. I just don't get it.

I kick butt in Starcraft, why is Warcraft so different?

Well, that is enough news for today, I'm going to try to figure out how to fill my car and stomach up with only a five-dollar bill. This will require all my cunning...

The hard drive is 50!

Yup, 50 years ago today the first hard drive was completed. It was the size of two refrigerators and could hold a whopping five megabytes. How cool is that?

Okay, so if anyone does read this, they know that I keep a blog updated only with my cell phone. When I got a new phone the mobile updating thing just stopped. I couldn't figure out why. As it turns out I put a '.' where there should have been a '@'. Oh well.

I still haven't fixed my keyboard. I really hope Apple just tells me to mail it back and they will give me a new one. As much as I love my iBook, I hate always using the built-in keyboard. Now that I bought Warcraft (from Tallon) the problem is magnified. I don't think wanting to comfortably tell my orcs to attack is to much to ask. Maybe it is. I'll find out sometime soon though, I'm calling Apple on Thursday.

Okay, I have stuff to do.

I'm poor.

Well, I did in fact buy a fairly nice digital camera, but I didn't like it. So, today I returned it and bought a new one. A much more expensive new one. I think I doubled the price. Oh, well...

On much more random news, I really am enjoying my English class. I thought I would hate it, but getting the chance to write and have somebody tell me how good of a job I did is pretty cool. I'm not 'can't wait to go to class' excited, but I don't hate it, a vast improvement over every other semester of college.

Okay, back to the camera thing, iPhoto is freakin' awesome. I tried the included software and could tell right away that it was not going to be any good. I then opened iPhoto... and fell in love. It just works in a way that makes sense.

Okay, I think I just ran out of stuff to say.

Who the heck is the 'Gipper'?

Well, I finally did my first full shift at FedEx, it was about all I expected it to be. I think this will be a good job, at least I am really hoping it will be. If not, then at least it is a job.

Oh, here is some disheartening news, my keyboard broke the other day, it just won't turn on. Apple isn't really open when I'm able to call them, so this may take a while to fix. Fortunately my mouse still works and my iBook has a built in keyboard.
/end bad news

Well, it has been a long time since I can say I have really played video games, but recently I have gotten into games made by Blizzard. At first this was only because they were the only cheap games I could get for a Mac, but now I just think they are great. I've been playing Diablo II and Starcraft for a while. If you haven't ever played either, do so. I don't have Warcraft III yet, but soon I will be buying it.

That is about all I have for now because I have an assortment of things to do, I still don't think anyone is reading this, but that is okay.

-Brian out

It's been a long time...

Wow, I think it has been more than two months, yeah, about two and a half.

Well, a lot has changed since then, I no longer want to join the military, I am back at school. I still don't really know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I can only hope that is sorta normal for a 21 year old. Probably not too usual, most people are about to graduate, or already have by the time they are 21. I'm still working on a community college.

Speaking of which, I now have class.

If anyone does read this: Peace.

Back in the swing of things

Okay, I have been able to hit the gym this week (it opened back up), I am really out of shape.

I also just realized how late I am.

I gotta run.
-Brian

But.... I wanted to run...

Okay, so I finally get early enough to hit the gym, and it is closed. I use the gym at my school and they are using it for graduations.

What the poo? I wanted to run.

Oh, well... it will be open again next week, I can run then.

I have to pee

Okay, I'm going to make this short because as the title states, I have to pee.

I finally played paintball yesterday with a bunch of friends, it was freakin' awesome! The flatline really does make the ball go farther, a lot farther.

I went shopping with my Mom today, we looked at a couple of beds and random desks, stuff like that.

Okay, bye!

-Brian

I have 133 reasons that say you should...

I just sold my books and got about $130, that is freakin' sweet! I really need the money right now.

I did actually get the game 'Brain Age'. It is a little different than most other games, but that is because it isn't really a game, it is an exercise program for your brain. I think it might actually be working (I hope) or it is a cleverly disguised game that I am just getting better at playing.

Well, as much as I might have to say right now, I can't. I have other things to do today besides blogging.

-Brian out

Oh, one last thing, I finally got around to creating my profile and links, so check them out if your interested.

-Brian out, again (but this time I mean it)

Quiet Please, Students at Work

I just watched the 'Baby got Book' video, one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time.

School is almost over for me, I have one more final tomorrow and then I am done for a long time. I also get to start training for the Marines soon, four or so hours every morning. My hopes are to lose some weight, and build muscle. I really don't want to go into the PT side of boot camp, I would like to just go through the 13 weeks and be done.

I haven't played paintball in almost a month, that kinda sucks. I have my own paintball field now, that really doesn't suck. I'm hoping to play every week (or more) over the summer. Money might become a problem with that because the paintballs I have to use are 50 bucks a case (2000 count) as opposed to the 35 bucks I was expecting to pay. It's only because I use a flatline barrel, if I use cheaper balls they will break, or just fly any way they feel like (read: not where I want them to go). I guess $15 isn't really all that bad, but I really was hoping this would be a cheap sport.

Oh, I bought a video game recently, Lost Magic, it is surprisingly hard but amazingly fun. I'm hoping that I enjoy it but not so much as to let it take over my life. I don't think that will happen, but I said that about Halo, right before Halo took over my life. I'm also thinking about getting Brain Age, it looks like it might actually live up to it's claims of making you smarter. I would like to be smarter. Also, I would like to train my brain just as much as my body before boot camp. This might not be the right way, but at least I'm thing about it.

Anyhoo, I really have to be going now.
