Blogroll Me!
There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Holy Windy Day Batman!
The wind has been blowing hard all day. Like 22mph steady with gusts upward of like 30+mph. Sheesh! This apartment doesn't have the huge oak tree right out front like my old complex had, but you can still hear it howl. In fact, the wind makes a pretty eerie sound as it blows through the landing outside the front door. Guess some big storm system is moving our way. Heck, we even have a wind advisory and coastal warning right now: A strong cold front will move across the area today...Bringing with it a period of strong winds. Strong southwest winds ahead of the front will be sustained at 20 to 25 mph with gusts into the 30s possible this morning. After the front moves through the area... Strong northwest winds of 20 to 25 mph will continue through this afternoon. The wind will begin to diminish this evening. We were supposed to have thunderstorms and such too, but so far, the sky has been clear. At least here. Though we'll be getting some low overnight temps the next few nights. Back down into the 40's. Which is pretty odd for this time of year for us. March is firmly past what we laughingly call "winter" around here and our days start getting back to being too hot. Found my email files. Finally. So I can get email again! Yeah. There were almost a thousand spam messages in my giveneyestosee box. That's absurd. Especially since that's AFTER they go through the spam assasin thingy. Something is clearly wrong when you get that much spam. And hell, every couple days I have to login to my control panel and delete my spam file. I run out of disk space at least once a week because of that. Took forever to get everything set back up though because it's a real bitch. I had to recreate all the accounts then copy the files into the newly created account folders to get back my email. Then I actually installed Thunderbird and imported the settings but had to manually copy over the giveneyestosee emails because for some reason it wasn't working. Ugh! Next I need to figure out why my soundcard isn't working. The onboard card was working but it sounds like ass. I disabled it last night but now, I can't get windows to see my soundcard. (Nothing special, just a soundblaster but much better then the onboard one.) Once I do that, then it's time to tackle 4.5 gigs of music files to work on recreating my iPod library again. But so many of the mp3's are all badly named or misnamed and though I had fixed the library names previously, I have to do it again now. Which requires listening to the files named things like "track 01" to find out what it actually is. So, that has to wait until the soundcard works. Which Love said he'd look at for me after work. I never did manage to find my Firefox settings. All the ones I did were back from November 2004 and really out of date. So, I'm in the proccess of trying to manually recreate my settings and my bookmarks and remember what the heck I had set up how. Which is more of a pain then you'd think at first glance. Bookmarks afterall, are so you don't actually have to remember what the heck was there, it does it for you. Makes it hard to remember what was where. Did some towels, vacuumed the house, took a shower, emptied and refilled the dishwasher. Not exactly in that order. A busy day so far. Which wraps up this entry for the moment. So...ttfn.
