Weathered

I lie awake on a long, dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading "love" with indifference yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I fell alone
Maybe that's why I feel alone

Me..I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up
Sometimes I feel like giving up

Me...I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holding together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal

The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
So I choose to fight
To fight

Microsoft offers security update CDs

InfoWorld: Microsoft offers security update CDs. I strongly recommend everyone do this. I don't care if you are on dial-up or broadband. Go here to order yours now. Heck, even if you are a Mac user order one. We all know someone that has a Win XP machine so this is something we can all use.

HP SCANJET 4600 and 4760

HP SCANJET 4600 and 4760. That is one of the first uses I thought of for it before it was even out in stores. Although I was considering multiple parts. Could I be considered a perv for that or just resourceful? I think resourceful. I like to think of myself as a 'MacGyver'.

Lawmakers prepare for ribbeting debate

Lawmakers prepare for ribbeting debate. Ok, is a state amphibian really that important. I mean don't our state reps have other things to worry about. This just further proves that the state of Ohio is a joke. Much like our entire country, but that is another story. I can not wait until I am gone from this state.

Wedding Recep/Hair/Whatever

Got back from a wedding recep. about 1/5 hour ago. I am not exactly sure who the couple is, but I am related to the bride. A cousin or something. My mom knows more about all this then I do. Some pics on my moblog.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the one pic you can see that I cut my hair. Well I actually took the clippers and went over my head. Kind of short, will take time to get used to. Don't ask why, I just did.

Whatever?! I said...Whatever?! You heard me...WHATEVER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

PETA claims poultry has 'mad cow' risk

PETA claims poultry has 'mad cow' risk - billingsgazette.com. Fark PETA!!!!!!! I am going to eat beef, pork, chicken, deer, etc. I always wondered what these idiots thought about carnivorous animals (lions, tigers, crocs, etc.) that hunt other animals. I would like to see them try to change their minds. "Mister croc., you should only eat these tasty reeds that grow here on the river banks. Why are you looking at me like that? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" That would be funny to see.

MacMall sells pieces of Virginia Tech G5 supercomputer

MacMall sells pieces of Virginia Tech G5 supercomputer. Here is the link to the Macmall page. Ok I know I was just ranting about being loyal to MS and it is not their fault. For those of you who do not know, I do have a 15" Powerbook G4, and a Linux box that I run. As the name says, 'Extreme Alpha Geek', I can run multiple OS's. This is just a good deal and come on, just look at how cool that case looks.

CNN.com - IM game spreads virulent ad-delivery software

CNN.com - IM game spreads virulent ad-delivery software. There is no safe IM. That and lets see, who uses this the most, kids, teens, dumb adults that have no clue what they are doing. Very easy to spread stuff. Ok, I know, I use IM software too. That is because a lot of people I know use them so I do to talk to them. Do you know the best way to not get viruses, adware/spyware, nasty hackers, etc? Get off the internet, turn off your computer, sell it, and not use one. Every operating system has it's problems, and I mean every OS. I am just tired of all the MS bashing, I do my share too, but I do it over pricing and the amount of time it takes to get thier patches out. If Mac, Linux, or some other company had been the one that the public took to so many years ago then they would be the ones that are getting bombarded with attacks and everyone would be saying to switch to MS. Just think about it.

Microsoft: "magic" spam solution overhyped

Microsoft: "magic" spam solution overhyped. No I will not pay to send e-mail. I am already paying that fee to my ISP each month for my internet access. And a "computational challenge" system sounds like it could work but make sure there are no holes in the system before it is rolled out. All I can see is this allowing more spam to come through and put the legitimate people on a black list. That and I see a new series of viruses come out of this to attack these systems.

Superbowl not so super

Ok I did not actually watch the game, I was watching the commercials. The only one I wanted to see was the Pepsi/iTunes one. All the Bud Light ones just got old. The halftime show in my opinion sucked. Sorry but who really cares about Michael,er I mean Janet (they look so much a like they could be the same person) and Justin anyways (you can tell MTV produced this one). That and the whole boob flash was so staged (Hello, nipple guard/shield or whatever it was. And the outfit came apart a little too well). After I came through from the shit that was somehow supposed to be entertaining I went to fark.com. I knew there would be a thread up about it(JJ boob flash/halftimeshow/commercials). And there was. And for your reading pleasure here is the link, fark tread. I have to agree with what some of the commenter said, CBS would rather have some shit like this than having commercials from Bushin30seconds. These commercials would have been more entertaining then seeing some lame ass halftime show that was basically a publicity stunt for Janet's new CD.

As I said I went to the internet almost right after the previously mentioned so called entertainment and with in 5-10 minutes it was up and links to pics and vids were already available. Just simple amazing. Along with all this a link to the Drudge Report was also posted saying that the stunt was accepted by CBS, and then yet another link from CBS saying that they knew nothing about it. Either way it was just plain stupid and as I said before I would have rather seen Bushin30seconds. I will admit that the tribute to the Columbia crew at the beginning was cool.
