I've succeded in two of my short term goals.

1. I've not eaten any meat in a week!

2. I've not run over any deer.

The first is a matter of work. I rely on my brain working to do my job. If that goes, I'm setting myself up for the welfare line. Being as the only way I can earn income is by thinking.

With mad cow disease, or whatever this risk is real. Anything like that which eats your brain has to be bad. Not to mention worth my time to avoid.

Aside from that, I've been feeling very well since last week. I no longer feel like I'm about to keel over dead any moment. Hmm, well the mornings are still kina tough. I spend about half an hour trying to decide if I'm dead yet, but I never am. Damit.

I've done something else as well. Yep, the most evil thing you can imagine. I bought a USB Hard Drive. How's that for crazy?

It was a rather tough choice for me. Either get a USB drive, or a SCSI drive. SCSI is very, very expensive. USB is cheap. Only problem is the trade off of speed. I lost in the deal there. But I'm a stingy bastard.

When I say it's slow, it's not all that slow. I can play mp3s off of it with no problem. This is a 'Good Thing (TM)' due to having well over a thousand mp3 files. Most of Pink Floyd, all Bad Religion, and many, many more.

The only fear I have now is OS X. When it ships will I still be able to use my new drive? From what I read the answer is yes. But I'm still not sure if this is a 'Good Thing (TM)' or not.

Again today I had to wake up long before noon. Eight oclock actualy. Only a raving madman gets up that early. Hmm, guess I'm a raving madman then. Oh well, it could be a lot worse, right?

It was a normal sunday. Slow but steady. Lots of strange questions from even stranger users. Yep, I'm talking about the kind of users who must have ridden the short bus to school. They are 'special' people I tell you. Too danm special.

I had one guy tell me to blow goats. I explained to him how no goat was handly, but if he would supply one, and also comply to my wishes I'd try. (I like to try new things) He didn't want to do either. Then he hung up.

Then I had another client who was pissed because he had no dialtone. "You dirty perverts, did you shut my account off?" "No"

In fact, he was the dirty pervert. You would not belive what was in his mail spool. These people, I wonder how they breed. Hmm, no. I wonder if they have to rape to breed. It seems the only way they would get close to someone of the oposite sex.

I still can't spell (does it show?). Who cares? I can actualy read, and I know who !root is. Do you know who bang root is? Hehe, probably not. He's root's little brother.

It's ok though. I have pride in my job. I love my job. It's all about getting canida for my very own kingdom after IN gains world domination. Muhahaha!

I'll make them all speak english or watch cheesy porno movies for the rest of time. (trust me, speaking even an awfull language like englesh is better) They who disobey will be sent to someplace bad. The worst place in the world. Italy!

My taxes are done. Bloody thiefs, but I do get a refund this year. A bit more than ususal (but then I was actualy employed all year). Better than last years slap in the face refund of change.

I bet that the postal workers are realy busy right now. You can imagine how many letters they are dealing with from every person over 18 (and some under). It's gives me a headache thinking about it.

I'll be amazed if I get my refund in the next few months. Won't that be nice? Yep, I'll not get to keep it. I'm a bit in debt at the moment.

I bought a CD player for my car over a month ago. But I've yet to actualy install it. Somehow it's comforting to just having it sit on the floorboards. Knowing that it *could* be put in any day. I never have the time to do it though.

Now I wish I would have held off for one of those new mp3 CD players. The kind you can burn a CD full of mp3 files, then play them. Mmm, eight hours of music on one CD? Oh, yes.

While it would be nowhere near my entire collection on that one CD. I've got almost three days worth of music. If you played it all in one steady stream. That's a *lot* of music. Basicly a hundred CDs.

I'm getting more as time goes on. If I'm not carefull, I'll fill my new 20 gig drive shortly. Danm.

Napster, napster, napster. It's basicly useless now. You would not belive how many calls I got today about it. As if the only reason for the internet was warez, porn, and now mp3s. Hmm, shows you where people hold thier values.

I'm now using gnutella for my mp3 needs. While not nearly as pretty, or easy to use as napster was, it's a lot better. Basicly it's scour on crack. You can search for anything. I mean that literly. Not just movies, music, and porn. Anything!

I saw several books on it last night. Anything...

Only problem I had was getting it to work. I'm behind a firewall at work. I've also got one at home. Causes hella problems with peer to peer software. But once I found the setting for firewall, and could specify my external IP (209.50.1.42), I was home free.

A search for Lain resulted in like thirteen hundred files. Took me quite some time to sort out the mess. Oh, the other hard part about connecting. Just getting on. There is no gnutella server. No such thing. Each client is a server also, it's not setup to have a central server.

After ten min of it doing whatever it does to find the first server I found several thousand other servers to connect to. When you search it asks all the servers, not just one. You run the search, and make coffee.

The only major problem I have is over half the files I tried to get resulted in timeouts. This probably has to do with the other party having a 14.4 modem or something silly like that. Wouldn't suprize me.

Oh, and due to it's programing, the protocal is rather, umm...chatty. Even when I wasn't doing anything it was looking for new servers, and talking to ones it already knew.

I've decided what I want out of life. At least for now. Quite simple realy.

1. A job I love.

2. A nice couch to sleep on.

3. A car that actualy works.

4. Knowing where my next meal is coming from.

That's basicly it. Oh, and High speed internet access 24/7! I've got all of them but one. That last one is probably the most important of all. Danmit, and it's the one I don't have!

Why the hell don't they just install OC3s into everybody's houses? It would only make sence! I mean, life just isn't worth living without internet access. The faster the better.

How long can you stand to be in offline mode? Without the entire network at your fingertips life is pretty boring. People suck, reality sucks, and most of all when your offline you can't annoy people in Iraq (unless of course you happen to be there).

Now that I've had some major caffine put into my system I can realy get rolling!

If you couldn't have guessed, I'm at the best coffee shop in lincoln. The Coffee house. If your ever in lincoln, make it here asap! It's a dirty little place, but it's cozy. Oh, and it's full of lots of people who are far more crazy than myself. Heh, I actualy seem normal here!

I'm no longer drinking coffee, or mocha. I've got something that I have no idea what is. All I know is that it's green. Oh, and the name looks kina like methane. But it's not. It's got a candy mint flavor, with a menthal cig aftertaste. Mmm.

Again the song about takeing retards to the zoo comes up. Hmm, you would think with five hundred plus songs in my playlist that it would pop up less often? Heh, guess not.

Why, oh why did I leave all my frank zappa at home? Argh, I'm currently in a zappa kind of mood. Songs like "Why does it hurt when I pee", and "He's so gay", or "Catholic girls". That's the stuff dreams are made of! They never play them on the radio.

In fact, most of the stuff I listen to they never play on the radio. One of the reasons I rarely listen to the damed thing. All they care about is how popular the song is. Not how good.

They want songs that are between two, and three min long, and follow the standard form. Verse, chorse, verse, chorse, verse, chorse. Or at least something like that. Not songs that are thirty seconds long about takeing retards to the zoo. Or songs that are fifteen min long with no words what so ever!

Hmm, I bet they would realy hate to play anything I have. "Victory through domonation, pack your bags you third world nations". It's not political correct. Fuck that. If I want to hear songs like "Clowns suck", it's my right.

Oh, using my USB CDR is bad for ripping mp3s. They come out with bits of white noise every so often. Gah, it's very annoying to listen to. I have to re-rip several CDs now.

I sit here pouring my heart out on my laptop, listening to music. The guy at the next table is doing the same, but with a dead tree. He might as well be carving it into a bit of stone as far as I'm concerned. Dead tree is a bad idea. You don't need it anymore!

The whole idea of it drives me nuts. I usto love to visit book stores. Hmm, I still do. But it's not the same. Now I ponder why the don't just sell them on CD. Far cheeper to produce, and takes up much less space. Aside from that I could cary around half the store in my backpack.

The airflow patern at this seat sucks. I put my smoke down, and it blows directly in my face. You'd think I'd be usto it by now. I've been smokeing for a rather long time. But no. This is the one thing that still drives me mad.

Hmm, if I get home soon enough I can then plop down on the sofa, turn the TV on, and let my brain drip onto the carpet. On second thought that's a bad idea. I'm going to stay right here for a while longer. Know why?

I actualy found an outlet!

Time for a bit of a facelift. I may be back for more. (I pitty you)
