The Choices of Life

I must admit I’ve been sinfully jealous of my babes brand new iMac; that computer can and does put mine to shame. I want one, but I’m wanting the 24″ model so I have the option of the Nvidia 512MB video beast card. Should i just get the 20″ with the 256MB video card with 4GB Ram?

It’s just soooo hard to make a choice… I ‘m sure no matter what I choose, I’ll be happy because it will be a new Apple!

The almighty apple...

Thought of the Day

“Smile, it is contagious!

 
Just like a cold, being cheery or positive can rub off on others throughout the day. I said that simple statement to my sweetheart love Erin this morning on the phone while she was at work; then to practice what I preached I too smiled as I carried out my tasks today. Oddly enough if you pay attention you will see your smile catch onto others! Watching the frowns, blank stares, and emotionless states of people’s expressions change to a smile was awesome!

In part, I can give the love of my life a thanks for giving me my positive attitude in life; when I am my lowest she is there to show me the bright side of life! Erin, this is only but one of the reasons I love you so dearly!

So, try it… you may too be positive today!

Go see IronMan!

IronMan has to be one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite some time… it was action packed, witty humor, and just kick ass 100% I suggest seeing it if you haven’t done so already. Robert Downey Jr. played Stark to the “T” and left me wondering where IronMan 2 may lead…

WoW Addiction

So…. have I just disappeared from the face of earth? Some would probably wish that on me.

Aliens abduct me and perform scientific experiments? No, but would be interesting to live and tell about it!

Insanely so, any and the great majority of my free-time is being spent within the overwhelming World of Warcraft! This game offers so much diverse game-play and options that leave you adventuring for endless hours. To share my joy, here is my latest endeavor…

 

I\'m Bear... I bite!

Surprise for My Sweetheart

Well, life has been very well for me and my love! We’ve both keep grinding at work and she is now enrolled into Summer semester. So, something we have been contemplating was purchasing another computer for several reasons…

  • Schooling
  • Gaming (WoW)
  • Her own expensive toy… (justifiable?)

Shortly told, I walk into Bestbuy to possibly buy a printer to replace the crap one I decided on from Wal-Mart, lo and behold, glaring at me like a sweet angel was the brand new iMac 24″ all set-up and being so Macilicious! I nonchalantly inquire if they now sell Apple products. The associate, whom looked like a geek from the year 2020, almost blew me off in the sense that I wasn’t prepared to make such a purchase; little did he know. So, after asking a few questions I asked if they wold match Apple’s education discount on a specific model. As that associate disappeared and I snagged another one, whom seemed much more friendlier, thank you Steve, he confirmed they would match the discount. So, I said, “let’s get it”!

All this took place roughly about 15 minutes before I was scheduled to work. I the new iMac to my job and set it in the back-room. I sent a text message my sweetheart with a curious yet dominate message: “I picked up this amazing surprise for you babe, stop by my job if you are remotely interested…”

Of course being a woman and loving surprises she stopped by. Her facial expression was priceless when I asked her to close her eyes so I can go grab it… I feel moments like this are what build love, and no I don’t mean buying lavish gifts, but the moments of sheer emotion and impulse!

I love you Erin.

Mother’s Day is Near…

Are all you digital freaks, endless web surfers, and geeky techies thinking of the one single person in the world that should mean the most to you? MOM! Yes, you know, the lady that brought you into this world with love, care, and devotion…

Well, it may be time, being that there is only two day until Mother’s Day, to plan a little something special for your mother and surprise her. Letting her know you care and appreciate her is all a Mother really asks for.

To all the Mom’s out there… HAPPY (early) MOTHER’S DAY!

Finals Are Done

YES! After much intense studying, dedication, determination, and hard damn work I’ve completed my finals and now await the final semester grades which should be available online on May 6th 2008. In the meantime I will be kicking back and enjoying actual days off from work without studying, school project deadlines, or late night studying; instead, to replace the school schedule will be gaming with the greatness which is GTA IV!

So, if there are any Xbox360 GTA fans hit me up with a friend request on 360!

Long Lost Hobby

I realized earlier just how much I miss taking photos! I, unfortunately, so was never able to purchase a descent DSLR to pursue my passion any farther. One day I deem that I shall bestow a new Canon DSLR into my possession for the enjoyment of picture taking and discovery!

Net+ Final in 8 Minutes…

I’m sitting here in class awaiting for my final exam to open up at 5:30pm. Tick tock tick tock… this time passing is extremely passing sluggishly and giving me anxiety! I am going to do my best and I hope my sweetheart is hoping the best for me.

Rockstar is Cruel

Either they are just ultimately testing the strong willed or being entirely cruel and heartless…

Finals are all this week and lo and behold what releases tomorrow? GTA IV! I will strive for excellence on my studies, but as any logical fellow gamer knows GTA IV is going to take over all free time and allow for some mayhem. Here’s to all us loyal gamers awaiting the midnight hour…. tick tock tick tock.

 

Ohh, Mr. eDigital (Eric McGregor) please prepare yourself for total pimpage during the late hours, because yes I will be owning your ass online!

Math Melting Mayhem

Well, I just took my make-up Chapter 2 test and I didn’t do as well as I confidently beleived  I would…

This semester has been slightly difficult, but I’ve only pushed myself to strive for the best I can do. I just get so warpped with some of these formulas and equations that it is like whoa!

For example the basic, or one would think, quadratic formula; the test had ”looked” simple and feasible. I passed it, but only by the tiniest organism you can imagine! Just think, tomorrow I have my Chapter 4 test…. Happy Happy Joy Joy.

Final Week Countdown…

As some may attest they will clearly know just what next Tuesday or even Midnight will bestow upon millions of people worldwide! GTA IV… the game that has to be the most anticipated greatness or thugness… to hit consoles this year. Are you excited and foaming out your mouth to play? I am looking forward to it, I just hope online is immensely satisfying.

Xbox Live Banned My Gamertag….

I ultimately do not know whom or what authoritative figure made this call, but my gamer-tag was banned and I’ve owned it for several years; hell, I have even been a proud XBL member since the original Ghost Recon on the Xbox! I sincerely can’t believe that when I go to sign in I am presented with some whacked messaged that my gamer-tag is not in accordance with their policies. Then it offers for me to change it and then the Xbox360 loops in a sequence telling me I can’t change my gamer-tag unless I am signed into LIVE, but I can’t because my gamer-tag is banned… freaking awesome Micro Soft!

What is most puzzling is that if my gamer-tag, XboxDruggie, was out of accordance this entire time why is it only now, years after registering that it is banned? Especially without any warning or even course of action within a timed manner. Just cut me off from the service I’ve paid for upfront.

I really hope there is an amazing explanation because I plan on emailing and calling whatever depart head managers I must to have this explained as to “how” it is out of their accordance of policy!

Also, Mr. Major Nelson, if you happen to read this please enlighten me to this tragedy!

Just Moved Into Our New Apartment

So, after living in a shared roommate situation again for just a couple of months Erin and I are back together in our very own REAL apartment! It really sucked being apart from one another for just 2 months… You just really don’t know what you are missing until it’s gone. Snuggling in bed, eating together, watching TV sprawled out on the living room floor…. just spending time with the one you love means a great deal.

I love you, you babe you! Here is to our new apartment… now just to get some furniture :)

College Algebra Blues

I have only reached the third chapter test for my college algebra class and talk about some serious head scratching! I believe in myself and know a good chunk of the material, but here is so much to know and wrap my mind around! I’m not entirely complaining, just venting somewhat so that I can finish up this test and be happy :)

It’s all about logs, exponents, etc…. and even though I might not completely “get it” I still LOVE IT!

Wish me luck everyone!

Can anyone answer this problem please:
Solve for x:
1.5 log5 (x-1) = 11

Stress Galore…

Recently I’ve felt extremely crowded with just so much to keep up with: from work, school, bills, and regular day to day living I believe my body got ill because of all the stress! I know it could be much worse, but with all the pressure I think my bdy just shut-down; although it was a good thing… it has made me miss work (to an extent), then while sitting in class, the lecture really had my brain clicking away to understand the subject!

Everything does seem to happen for a reason… and wether it is noticeable or not in the beginning sooner or later it will reveal a purpose.

Illness Sucks

Oddly enough I awoke on Friday morning being weak, groggy, and just sick! I was having sweats, runny nose, body fatigue, and just extremely tired! It has been forever since I had gotten ill that I literally forgot how it felt! I’m starting to chipper up and get back into the groove, but still feel sort of “blah”.

Here’s to feeling better :)

Purpose of Life….

“Many of us at one time or another have wondered what we are doing here. This can be both at times when we are having hectic, stress filled days, or at a standstill in a fog of boredom. We have temporarily lost sight of our purpose.

On average, the hours we work constitute a relatively small portion of our life and should not control our well being. If you are too tired or do not have enough time to do anything after hours, then your daily routine may be out of balance and may need to be adjusted. Your work may be too difficult or unsuitable, or you may need to change your routine. Perhaps a simpler lifestyle would change your focus on your work and life in general.

To obtain a healthy purpose in our lives we need a good balance of our time for work, goals, recreation, and relaxation. The daily routine should be examined, a plan established, and then it should be followed.

We can make good use of our time away from work to increase our knowledge of things and life, to work at a hobby or project, and to just relax. There may not be much room to maneuver, say if you are a working single parent, but perhaps a few hours can be found during your hectic week to do something that you want to do.

Most of us use only a small percentage of our capabilities and can do so much more. Learning new things gives us a feeling of achievement. Reading nonfiction books increases our knowledge and teaches us new skills, but it should be enjoyable. In undertaking a new after hours project do something different from what you do all day at work. Start with something small and complete it, so as not to get discouraged and to get a feeling of achievement when it is done.

If you are too busy and under a lot of stress, a more passive and relaxing undertaking might be in order, at least to start with. A day a week, or a few hours on certain days, should be set aside for your favorite enjoyment. Walking, listening to nice music, reading a novel, or leisurely working in the yard. Avoid news or entertainment that is saturated with disasters and violence. But whatever you do, don’t sit and stew.

Site Updates…

I plan on updating the theme of my site here shortly, if time will permit such a task. Although, themes are basically just plug and activate in WordPress I tend to customize it to my liking and skill set. It’s how I learn and tweak code, graphics and other functionality. Ironically, I don’t seem to find more time to just keep the blog’s content flowing, yet, I am devoting time to the overall look.

Dreaming of an iPhone

iPhone, just stating the phrase brings a gleeful aurora of “YEA” to my thoughts. I seriously am anticipating the day my contract with Helio is completed so that I can awesomely switch to AT&T’s network and purchase the glorious iPhone. Every time I am at work and a customer is fiddling with an iPhone I get all giddy inside and just want to shout with joy!

One day Apple… one day!
