I have been getting into the TV show Breaking Bad. It is relatively interesting. Although I am getting frustrated because now everyone is using drugs except for the teacher.

Classes are stressing me out. Computer networks needs to quit being so quick. I haven't learned much because it is going so fast.

Just had my teeth worked on, they rebuilt my K-9's....but it was an expensive process...150 dollars.

On top of that, my server monitor is bad....the control buttons are all jacked.....going to have to pay another 150 dollars for a new one.

Oh well, sometimes stuff happens. Luckily, I am being paid at work well, so I can afford these expenses, if I was being paid the amount I was first starting there, I might not have been able to afford the dental work or the computer monitor.

Anyways, yeah...

So, lately, I have been a tad depressed because of green technology. It appears we aren't making as much headway as this country would like. Solar technology has increased ten fold especially in china with a company called Suntech: SunTech and pluto cells Their website shows a direct comparison due to regular solar technology and their technology. They believe an increase in photo capture cell lines will provide more efficiency. I love it, just wish the world would help fund it and make it readily available in the United States.

I have been thinking about purchasing a small laptop. But I am not entirely sure if I should. I do not NEED one, but I would like one that is better than my macbook. My macbook does not have HDMI out, or have the capability of running powerful games. Some laptops that are more powerful than my macbook are only 350 to 450 dollars. Might consider it....although I prefer to spend my money to pay off my parents loan and make more contribution to payments at school.

I am hoping on going to Rita's Ice store today with Anne. I would like to try it out there and see what it is all about. It sounds good.

So, yeah, I went to my school adviser the other day. We made a schedule for the year and half to be able to go by as a guideline. It turns out, in about 2 years, i will be graduating! I am excited, that is if everything goes well.

I have been watching Angel Beats!, X-men, and a couple other anime. Angel Beats! is a very good anime, was rather impressed by the storyline. X-Men is much more violent then the animated series in the 90s. I like it, just wish it continued.

I purchased an air purifier two days ago, it seems to be working. It kind of acts like a fan with a filter, I like it though. I won't notice effects until later down the line, like a week or two later.

I have to go back to work, ugh, I took a vacation the past two days, going to COSI and to my school adviser. I am very happy when I am not at work, just wish I would graduate faster so that I can get to where I want to be as a administrator.

Oh well, peace out.

My biggest regret, saying worst things in life to the nicest people.

It is funny to think of the world as just the United States. As I took and am taking anthropology, sociology, and global issues, I have been seeing the world in a much broader sense. The views and opinions of who is right and wrong are at a much severe case in Africa.

In Rwanda, there were two groups of people that both viewed they should have governmental power. Both slaughtered each other for that power and saw to try to end each others culture. It is sickening to see this conflict.

In Darfur, Sudan, there is a repeat as to what was going in Rwanda but in this country now. Much of the same differences and hate are spreading like wildfire in Africa. It is scary to see these situations unfold and to hear about such mutilation and strife.

Humans are capable of great things, but money, power, and hate corrupt us all. The United States has been striving for an equal ground among sexes, ethnic background, and just in general human beings. Why can't we adopt a strategy that helps everyone out. Because our differences get in the very way.

My own thoughts on the matter is that I want to get money to be able to help the world out. But I also realize when money is involved, also comes the power. I have donated to Japan to help their relief effort in their catastrophes. I want to help Africa, the continent, as a whole, but I am not sure where to start.

I want to help everyone in the United States.

It sucks to be so limited, and to feel helpless at times when you hear other countries at constant war.

Well this will be a public entry due to the fact that I don't mind if strangers read this.

Well, I am back in college. I am attending Franklin University. I already received an A in Learning Strategies course, and I am halfway through Sociology and I have an A in that class. I am signed up for Intro to spreadsheets, intro to databases, Global Issues, and Cultural Anthropology for summer semester. 10 credit hours! This current semester I only took 6 credit hours. But it has been so easy that I figured I would try to increase my work load. I am excited about knocking out 4 classes toward my bachelors! I am really looking into majoring in Information Technology and getting a minor in accounting. This would be beneficial for me because I own my own server and broadcast a website from it(technically two, but one of them would rather me not to make their public).

On a seperate note, I have been having issues with my router. Occasionally at night, it seems to knock out the network. I have to reboot the router. What is weird is that you wouldn't know it until you try to use a browser, because all the lights on the router and modem are fine. So I reboot the router and the problem is fixed. My issue with this though is that since I have a server setup on a router, if the router goes out, so does the server. Kind of annoying really....

I just purchased a $60 dollar gaming mouse. I have been due for a new mouse. The mouse had a good deal though, i received 15% off of the price plus an additional 20 dollars off due to a rebate. So really the mouse only cost me 26 dollars!

Anne has gone to florida once again. I am sad, I have gotten used to living with her, now that if she leaves for a trip i feel lonely. I get over it after a day or two, but it still sucks.

Well that is all, later

Well, this past weekend was awesome.

Friday night, I came home from work and played Starcraft 2. Just chilled out for the night.

Saturday, I went to see Dinner for Schmucks at 1:30pm showing with a couple of co-workers. It was a good movie. Wasn't as good as Paul Rudd's normal movies like I Love You, Man! But it was decent. Steve Carell did a good job acting too. I would recommend the movie for people who would want to rent, but don't buy it. Not worthy of anymore than a couple of bucks.

Saturday Night was intense too. I ended up going to the Flaw concert that was hosted at the Al Rosa. It was good. I went with Thomas, one of the co-workers, and he brought his friend, Jordan. She didn't seem all that interested in the concert. I think she was hoping she and Thomas would be alone, so I tried giving them space, but Thomas followed me around, not sure what that meant. Anyways, I also met Taryn and Laura at the concert. They were old highschool students that used to tease me frequently. They seemed....like they hadn't changed much except for Laura, she chopped her hair off and dyed it black. I dunno, it was different. Anyways, still had a good time at the concert.

Sunday morning, at 12pm, I guess it isn't morning, more like afternoon, anyways, I met my family and my sisster at the Melting Pot in Easton. The place was delicious! Not sure if anyone knows what Fondue is but it is where the people bring out oil/chocolate/cheese and you dip your food in it. We first had Spinach, artichoke, cheese dip with bread and vegetables as appetizer. Then went on to having the oil vegetable broth with meat. My mom got the chicken, my sister got white shrimp with steak, and me and my dad had steak, shrimp and chicken. MMMM MMMM was it good! Then we ended up having dessert. The Yin and Yang dessert. This consisted of white chocolate and dark chocolate mixed together. Then we had rice krispy treats, strawberries, cherries, brownies, cake, to dip it into. It was amazingly yummmy.

Later, we ended up going shopping. I purchased two sci-fi/fantasy books at barnes and nobles, then we ended up goign to crate and barrel and pottery barn.

Then my sister came to my place to watch the One Piece movie that was leaked Strong World. Which was great too. All of this was on Sunday and it was my sisters birthday!

Anyways, it is monday now, gotta go to work, later folks.

Another day in paradise, but this time it is without my g/f.

As you may know, I have moved into a two bedroom apartment with my g/f. Well she went to Lilith Fair with one of her friends in Cincinnati. So I am home alone pretty much the rest of the day.

I never really thought about how much words can effect people until I say them.

For instance, there was one or two nights that Anne made dinner for me. I said something along the lines of the meals were too heavy and that she did not need to make them for me. I am not sure if she took this the wrong way. I was merely trying to say I usually have a snack when I get home, and that is it.

Anyways, I know I can be a jerk sometimes. At work it really shows. A LOT! I snapped at Nathan. At work yesterday, people were screwing around with my desktop every time I left my station. So I waited until they left, and messed with theirs. Then Nathan told the supervisor AND the assistant supervisor, complaining that I killed his desktop. I was really annoyed by this. He was the one that screwed with my desktop first, and I figured he would realize not to mess with mine, but apparently the street doesn't go two ways. I pretty much was mad at him the whole evening. Matt messed with my desktop also, but he never said anything, he knew how to fix anything I did.

I do feel bad somewhat, but not entirely. I can't entrust Nathan with anything that is secretive, and I am not able to screw with his computer anymore. I won't touch it. Apparently, though, he can still mess with mine.

I am slowly beginning to lose my memory. Nathan made a joke about early Alzheimer's. I think it is just due to stress. Stress can effect your body differently. For me, it seems to be my memory. I do not feel stressed, but I bet I am.

My body has been aching. My top left portion of my back is sore. Anne has been trying to tell me to go see a doctor about it. But really a doctor can't do too much about a sore back. I also think I rolled my ankle and it is sore too. She wants me to get my moles checked out, she is worried about a couple. I am a mess it seems.

Anyways, I love the new apartment, and I think Anne and I are getting along okay. I know I have snapped at her once or twice, but that is because I am still trying to close up things at my old place. Once that is done, no more stress, and just pay the bills and be done :-)

Lata!

Hey..so Anne is at work and I am bored, so I thought I would write in this.

Friday, i purchased a processor to complete my server. I had an old computer lying around and decided to set it up to become a linux server for cross platforms such as Windows, Mac, and Linux. I ended up installing Ubuntu and realized I had no idea what i was doing. I wanted a more graphical based server, so I removed Ubuntu and installed Kubuntu. KDE tends to be more GUI friendly.

Today, I went with my dad out to the Longaberger golf club. It was only $12 to hit 100 golf balls. I got some sun, a little burnt, not much. Then we ended going back to my folks to relax. I did hurt my back somehow, i think I pulled a muscle. I then ended up researching domain names for the server. My family liked Magetech.net. I might end up purchasing that, it is only 14 dollars a year. Not much money at all :-)

I am tired, going to lay down now, hopefully Anne will get on at 10pm.

Later.

We always catch on late
After we hurt the ones who care
And then we cry for ages
Yet we never learn to share

The teachings of our fallen heroes
To those who are different
We just repeat this deadly cycle
And become abhorrent

This is it, this is how we sealed our fate
By our hate, by our choice to discriminate
Every messenger we shall incriminate
We bleed the freak and then suffer from our mistake
What we need is some faith and discipline
We need to wash all this innocent blood off our skin
Access the ignorance, the secrets, the lies, and the sin
Reflect on errors of the past and let a future begin

We are monkeys with ammo
Nothing advanced more
We are a needy f**king species
We are dogs of war

Jesus Christ and Pontius Pilate
Martin Luther King and the L.A. riots
This is the sad history of the world
The people that we hate, then we kill, never
learn
Hitler, Bush, and Napoleon
Adam and Eve and the original sin
Lessons lost in time; hatred reoccurs
The sound of scraping metal, the earth can barely turn
Hiroshima and Vietnam
Albert Einstein's atomic bomb
The suffering still continues and always will until the end of time
Why do we expel the ones that could save us?
Maybe it's time that we shut up and listen

Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy
A fatal shot to democracy
Area 51, cancer and AIDS
The holocaust and the crusades
The truth is buried
We kill what we don't understand
Maybe it's time to expand our feeble minds

This song just reminds me how weird United States Of America is.
