It's Over! (almost)

That's right kids, school is almost over (unless you will be going to summer school, than its not over, not even close). Regardless summer will be starting soon, and thats really cool. I'm here on my laptop taking advantage of sweet wireless goodness, while enjoying a frosty cool root-beer. Tonight, my friend Ian is throwing a party dubbed "the last waltz", the last thursday boys night (something i dont attend), but regardless will be a big party of fun and awesome. Infact this whole weekend should be pretty crazy, if you know what i mean.

Speaking of crazy, it was munkie's 21st birthday yesterday, and we celebrated by making him buy me some liquor, for this weekend.

I took a Geology lab Final, and i think it went well, or well enough......

Oh, and if we havent heard about it yet, I have QUIT FFXI. I really didn't want to, but I am just having problems facing the fact that i dont like the game anymore. I Sit there on my computer, and have no intrest in playing it. The game is flawed. No one wants to sit around waiting to party, its boring, and its a waste of time. After playing Asherons Call 2, a game that i ussualy only played with Joe, rewards you when you party, giving you a 10% bonus of XP when playing with other people. If FFXI you cant gain XP at a high enough rate to level up by yourself. And that drives me crazy. I think i would love to just run around, me and Mikan, my wyvern and just hunt, then after an hour of leveling i notice thejayjay, and we party up, so we cant take some harder guys, or more guys at once. I think this simple change would make the game like 10000x better, because i like the FF universe, and i wish i was still a part of it. And with the announcement of the expantion pack, it makes me even more sad. Although I have 3 months to change my mind, and I wouldnt be supprised if I re subscribe RIGHT before my 3 months ends, and they delete my character. Oh and dont even get me started on that.......ok, i will. "Square is the most jewish company ever" - Joe. It's true, You can only make 1 guy per account, then you have to pay more money to create a new guy, LAME. EVERY other RPG online out there offers many more slots of character creation, for free. Including City Of Heros, where joe notified me that you can create like 30 plus guys on one account. JESUS. Also, if i want to take a break from the game, they will delete my guy after 3 months, while every other company out there, including asherons call, who never deletes your character, joe has been subscribing and unsubscribing for like 5 years now. The worst part about it all is, if you dont resubsribe in 3 months, you have to re-buy the game, because your Game key will be void, and you are required to purchace the game again.


SQUARE SOFT YOU ARE A JEW MONEY HUNGRY COMPANY, AND I STILL LOVE YOU, WHY WHY HWY????

Stupid car

Yep, it broke again. All of those problems I was having over spring break finally kicked me in the ass. When I start it up, it dies almost immediately, if I give it gas, it dies just the same. STUPID CAR. Anyways, AAA is awesome, and so is Kill Bill 2, on that note, im on my way to see it.

UPDATE!

Sorry for the recent lack of updates, school is consuming most of my life. French and Geology mostly, what a bunch of rubbish! I really should be walking to class right now, mass communications that is, but I’d rather update; you folks should feel mighty special.

Some of you might have known that I’ve been looking for a house/apartment here in Norman. If I do find one I will not be living in Tulsa for the summer. But the year is almost over, and if something doesn’t pop up soon, I’ll be in Tulsa for the summer. Don't get me wrong, I love Norman, and the people in it, but I would rather spend my summer in Tulsa. I kind of want to try to work at fish daddies, or maybe try to get a job at best buy, so I could transfer here during the school year. Anyways, that’s my rant about that.

School is winding down, and I am very nervous........hope everyone is doing better than I.

Superman

Hey guys. My dad e-mailed me this link a few days ago. It's a new add campaign from American Express featureing Jerry Sienfeld and Superman. Superman's voice is played by Puddy. The website features "Webisodes" featureing the odd duo. It's freaking funny though, so give it a look. Link It's

Un Catastrophe!

Shit.

This morning, at 5am I was awoken by a strange noise, and a bad smell. I looked up, and new immediately that something was wrong with my fish tank, something electrical. I was sure they were all fried. As I looked up, and noticed the smoke from behind my tank, I knew that something bad had happened. I screamed for Josh to wake up, and that I needed his help. We stood up, looking at the problem, for some reason, water had been condensation, or slowly dripping off of the heater wire down to all the other wires that connect my TV, ps2, dreamcast, stereo, etc. And the main surge protector is sparking, and now and then making smoke. The ground is slightly damp, and I still can't figure out how that much water got out of the tank, naturally. Eventually, the smoke alarm went off in our room (only ours thank god) and I started pushing buttons, and trying to figure out how to turn it off. Josh eventually just ripped it out of the wall (thank god). So no one noticed the smell, or the noise. After putting down some towels, and carefully unplugging the main outlet, we went back to sleep. Although, you could imagine that I could not sleep at all, and i kept staring at the tank, waiting for it to happen again (its all unplugged), I just couldn’t sleep. It's still the morning, and I still don't know exactly what happened, or how im going to stop it from happening again.. Josh is still sleeping, so I’ll update again to let you know what is going on.

Gmail

Normaly, free e-mail services do a fairly good job, considering they are free. Of course the only downfall is the consant spam mail, limited storage, and the little advertisements they add to the bottom of emails (cough yahoo cough). This is why Google, my lord and web savior, has done the unexpected. They are starting a webmail service, that offers 1 gig of storage space, equiped with high powerfull search engine, and sorting meathods. You will never have to delete a email agian. God bless you Google.
