I'm getting fat, and I don't like it.

I’m sure that if any of you know me you won’t think I need to lose any weight, but I do. I’m not exactly sure how much I need to lose, but I think it is around 15 – 20 lbs. I’m not under the ‘lose weight’ header because weight is not what I’m concerned with, it is my health. I think the weight will be a byproduct of a healthier lifestyle.

By the way, by exercise I mean running, later adding stuff like push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups. Maybe even weights later, but for now I’m just concerned with eating better and getting some stamina.

I’ll keep you posted.

50 Terabyte USB thumb drive (no, really, I'm not kidding)

A prototype USB drive using bug protein to store data in the neighborhood of around 50 terabytes worth of data could be here in less then 18 months.

Fun little pattern game

I could mess around with this thing for hours on end...

Well, tomorrow I have a second interview at Patton Electronics. This time I have to do something, I think Ryan said it would be installing Linux on a computer then installing a program. I could be wrong though. I really hope I don't screw it up tomorrow.

Macworld is comming up soon, and because I'm in the market for an iPod, this is very interisting to me. I really hope they introduce a new one. Widescreen maybe? Hopefully not touch screen, that would suck.

Anyway, I need to go to bed so I can get up and do stuff, not exactly sure what that stuff is, but I need to do it.

So... Christmas Was Yesterday

Well, it's true, Christmas was yesterday. It didn't really take all that long for one year to pass. In fact, it feels like I just got done paying for last years Christmas presents before I was buying some for this year. That sucks.

Better news comes in the form of an email. Matt B. (from Summer Staff) sent me an email wondering how I was doing. I seem to be really bad at keeping up with people from Summer Staff or Work Crew. I might be able to keep in touch with some of my fellow 'Staffers' for a while, but we seem to just fall out of touch. To make things worse, it feels like it is my fault. Truth be told, I think it is both parities fault. I still wish it wouldn't happen.

Okay, I'm going to close this post because work starts soon and I need food.

A king size crush on a pint size queen

So, the party was much smaller this year than last year. I don't really know why. I do know that I enjoyed myself.

Scotty B showed up, that really surprised me. He doesn't really do the 'Christmas' thing. I respect that. Anyway, that aside, he brought his Wii out and let us play a little. That thing is just incredible. I can't wait until I get one. Tallon was so impressed that he gave Scottie money to buy one for him. That is good news for me.

When I said that I was done with all my Christmas shopping, I lied. I had two things left to get, something for Brad and Jess, and something for Colleen. I took care of both. Now I'm done, I promise.

Now comes the wrapping.

Words are unable to describe...

I just created a network in my home that shares an internet connection wirelessly. This means that I finally can get on the internet with my computer while at home.

Is it true?

I'M DONE CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!

I'm also done with school the semester.

Can I go now?

I think I have a new job. You have no idea how happy that makes me. I have grown to hate working for FedEx. My new job should be pretty cool, I would get to work with computers, Linux specifically. Anyway, I'm not spending a whole lot of time on my job situation.

Even more exciting than a new job is the prospect of directing a play at Boonsboro next semester. I had to act in one of the one act plays this semester, and that made me miss my one chance of directing so much that Bair might let me direct again. A full length play this time.

I need to move out.

I also need to finish my Christmas shopping.

-Brian out

Wow, I think I got distracted

It appears as though I have not updated my blog since I found out that I was able to see the one acts. As it turns out, not only am I able to see the one acts, I am in one of the one acts. It is kinda completed, but... well, not 'but'. I don't really feel like explaining it.

Even more important than than me acting in a play, I have an interview with Patton electronics. This could really be a big change in my life. A good change. One that would let me move out, get my own car and still go to school.

Oh, and as soon as I can afford one, I will be buying a Wii. I need a TV first though.

All I know is, there's a three legged dog looking at me

I need to brush up on some stuff

Well, first thing first: I got permission from FedEx to take off work on the 7th and 8th. That means that I can, in fact, see the one acts.

Secondly, I really have to pee, I'll be right back.

I am really poor. I used to think I was poor back in high school. I was wrong, I am really freakin' poor. Hopefully I will bet getting a new job soon. A job that would let me move out of my house... finally.

Going back to the one acts that Boonsboro is doing, I have been asked to set up the sound equipment. A fairly easy job, but the point is that I'm doing something.

I am really tired. I'm talkin' really, really tired. Think of the most tired looking person you have ever seen, you can make one up if you need too. I feel more tired that that imaginary person looks.

Now that's not fair...

A few short months ago I was desperate for a job. Now two of my friends have offered a rather nice job where they work. I guess I'll just have to apply both places and see what happens. They are polar opposite jobs, one is in IT and the other is working in the parts department of a car dealership. If I some how get both jobs, I think I'll go with the IT job. I think computers are more in my line of of work anyway. That and I would get to work with Linux fairly frequently. Those of you who remember my LiveJournal (this would be none of you) may remember I used to use Linux all the time. I don't want to install Linux on my Mac because I don't really have a very big hard drive.

Just for fun, this is a German hacker using Linux:
