Today is Friday. I am not at work right now, I had a kinda sick feeling that was worse yesterday when I actually went. So I'm not totally playing hooky... Maybe just a little.
Jeremy Piven of Entourage fame (Ari Gold) was on Conan and Jimmy Fallon a few days ago. If you are a fan like I am, check it out on hulu. On Fallon he plays the drums! Pretty well too! Was pretty cool. Speaking of Fallon's show, it is slowly creeping up from "bad" to "almost ok" status. The monologue last night wasn't too bad actually, and the rest of the show is getting a bit funnier too. Don't get me wrong, its not a full transformation, but you can see that he is getting more comfortable up there. I guess it was only a matter of time. Conan started out the same way, although many people don't remember or were witness to that.
There are some movies out there I want to see. I heard Funny People was pretty good. Maybe I will catch that this weekend. I dunno.
I think it has been 8 weeks, and I promised pictures of my progress working out... Well I have been working out, but there were 2 weeks in there I wasn't doing it consistently. So, maybe you'll get pictures. Probably not though since no one reads this. I bet there is like 2 creepy people out there that constantly read this, even re-read posts something like 20 times a day or something ridiculous like that.
I go back to school in... 3 weeks? However long it is from now till the 24th, that is how long... Its alright, its only a semester. Will be nice to not have work for a few months, and then once I graduate the giant doors open. The doors out of the ominous and expansive labyrinth that is an education career from 1st grade until graduating from college. I don't want to think about the fact that I will possibly be re-entering a different section of the labyrinth, that graduate school side, but that is still an option. Greatest thing about graduating... It is like you are truly free. You have options. What an idea, what a country.
God bless America.

Ever So Interesting
You know what is amazing? Science. I have taken a strong liking to the Science and Discovery channel for the documentaries they often show. I was watching some thing on the human body and its perception of time last night, and now I'm watching some thing about dinosaurs. Great stuff. I don't know how I didn't think this stuff was cooler when I was a kid. It's all really fascinating. Maybe it has something to do with not being tied down to some artificial requirements like those made by the education system. That evil never seems to have an end to its retched madness...
But ya, it is interesting stuff.
Unlike my blog.
I don't have anything to write about.
There has been a tragedy in Pittsburgh. Several people were shot at a gym just south west of pittsburgh. This was att 8:15 our time, just a few hours earlier from me writing this... So random. The world is a scary place indeed, and it is stuff like that that reminds you how crazy and scary it can be. That is probably the last place you would ever think a shooting would happen. Poor people and their families. The guy apparently shot himself after going on the shooting spree...
Well I'm going to go watch some TV and try to not think about this sad stuff. Tomorrow is Kennywood day for the company I work for. If you aren't a Pittsburgh or Pennsylvania native, go google it. There is a lot of history to be learned when Kennywood is involved.
Till next time...

Let There Be Music
Today is a significantly rainy day. It is so rainy I will make no attempts to go outside. This means one thing: music. I plan on playing no less then 3 hours of guitar. Either the 3 hours will come or my hand will feel like it's going to fall off at some point and I will stop. Either way it will be nice since I've only played like half an hour of guitar in the past 4 days. Unacceptable.
I went to the range yesterday. After hitting 100 some balls, I realized that I used to be good at golf. But that wasn't until after I got my swing back. Now I just need to go hit a 100 balls before each round and I should be A-OK.
Today is going fast and it is AMAZING. It is already 3 o'clock. and it is a Wednesday! The week is already pretty much over. This is probably one of my happier posts on here in quite awhile.
And now, I present to you... The AG poetry moment:
There is a light
A spectrum of colored contents
gleaming under a recessive darkness
I strum against the constant
the world has weight to bear
feeding into this ancient notion
I take time to listen
there is a wave of tranquility in the ocean
there is wisdom in the brush of pine needles
swiftly painting across one another
in the empowering force of the evening breeze
although they try as they must for you to forget
to join their ranks as devoted ones
you remember what it is like
to walk in the ocean as a sleepy sun
bows down to an uprising of diamonds
Untitled, by me.
See you next time

Wow
This is just really funny
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOHriDR8F8o
I know, please don't judge me for my sense of humor. I had no idea turtles even made noises.
This lady on Jimmy Fallon has this like nasty vein sticking out of her arm... It is disturbing and looks unnatural. I dunno who she is, I think she is from some pointless cop TV show. They are all the same, like I mentioned in a previous post.
Including this week, I have 3 weeks of work left. It's only temporary, since I go back to school in August then back to working, but you never know what will happen once I'm graadduuuaaaaaaaaaaatttedddd.
Still banking on the lottery win. That would just make things a lot easier, that is for sure.
I am going to go eat a poptart and drink some water. I am really thirsty.
I played golf today and did terribly, but it was fun because I was with my 2 great friends whilst playing in this game of GALFIN.
Bye

7 days...
It has been 7 days... I'M SORRY! I know you were all giddy with anticipation for my next post, just refreshing this page every 10 minutes for the past 7 days... Or so I wish.
I didn't really have anything to blog about. Work consumes like 3/4ths of my day, and no one really wants to hear about that. If I don't think it is exciting no one else will either I guarantee it.
I don't know if Internet Explorer (which is garbage) or other browsers do this, but I love how in Firefox it has a spell check built in for everything you type. So if I type in something wrong, a little red dotted line will show up under my feeble attempt, and then I can right click on the word for spelling suggestions. Awesome. Much more effective than having to hit the spell check thing that is built in to blogger.
I came home from work this evening and as I was coming back, I saw that there was about 10 emergency vehicles blocking off the road. I was very curious, as I also noticed 3 news helicopters hovering above the scene as well. After taking a detour that I knew to get home, I learned upon booting up the computer that there was a fie in an apartment building complex that lead to 40 people getting evacuated. This was at 4:15 PM, and as of 6:00 the news said they were still fighting the fire. Crazy stuff, hope all is well and people are safe.
Sometimes disaster and big events like that, you sort of forget about them, or their severity, until you see something like 10 vehicles with lights flashing or look at the TV and you know exactly where it is where they are showing something. I guess what I mean to say, is it doesn't seem so serious until it "hits home" in a way. Makes sense, I guess. You probably wouldn't care as much if a meteor crashed into some village in China. But I'm sure you would be distraught if a meteor had just crashed into your neighborhood, almost demolishing your house... It is only natural I suppose. We tend to consider ourselves first before we consider others.
I'm done posting for today. Thanks for coming back... That means me and the 1 reader I know I have.

Geez
not sure if anyone just saw that, but I tried making a post from my mobile blog i have setup, and it failed terribly. It made like 10 posts and they were all fragmented parts of the post, pretty much unreadable. It was actually a decent post too. It had to do with my possible career path of being a game designer one day in the future.
Maybe it is a sign I shouldn't do that... Could be. I've never really been superstitious or believed in signs...
That last part made me think of the movie Signs... "Do you believe in signs?"
Top 3 of my dream jobs, probably similar for most 23 year old males. These aren't in any order cause any of them would result in me waking up loving the fact that i get to do one of these things
1. Game Designer
2. Movies or/and broadway (a lot involved in the former do the ladder as well)
3. Musical touring artist
All of them require breaks. Breaks are the key word to the entertainment industry. In the games industry you need to get lucky/get a break to get into the position of a game designer. Most game designers come from working as a level designer or a programmer for long enough that you get a sense of how to run the whole process from all contributing factors. Most actors and broadway people have been good for years but get put down first until they get that lucky break when an agent or a studio exec happens to see something you did and likes it. Or, that studio exec likes your "look" and thinks it would be great for their next movie, and even though your role in said movie might be practically meaningless, you have a chance at making your way now that you've gotten "in". the musical touring artist works very similar to the movie actor, just replace studio exec with recording studio exec.
It doesn't matter how, but once you get in and play your cards right, you could shoot off to stardom. Even if you don't, and you become washed up like many have in the entertainment industry, at least you had your one hit wonder or that one movie you were in! Better then most people.
If I ever really committed to trying to get discovered and pursuing all this, all roads point to California. I was reading on video game company websites about their hiring, and they only take people that live in southern california. So I think that is is safe to say your best chance (for any of those 3 professions) is to live in the area.
We will see. First I must complete my "back up", which is getting my Information Systems degree and probably grad school after.

What's Goin On?
You know what bothers me? For the past like 15 years or so crime and medical dramas will NOT go away. I mean CMON how many times can you beat a dead horse by using the same concept over and over? Sure, they may add some spice by making it a crime show and... oh wow, he can read minds! Or... It's a crime show... and she can see dead people!
Whatever. Garbage. It's all garbage. I don't know how people watch any of that crap. What is worse is I didn't even come on here to post about that. I saw a commercial for some medical drama and then it angered me enough to voice my opinion. Voicing opinions is good, that is the whole purpose of blogs. You get free reign over that sort of thing. Within reason I guess... There are those crazies out there that talk about doing illegal things to government officials and stuff like that and then get in a lot of trouble. Not such a good idea. The government is out there and they are watching!
Speaking of another Big Brother, the TV show is back on... You know there is nothing to watch on TV when you resort to watching that stuff. I don't even really want to get into that show. It is like you know it is bad, but you watch it anyway because it is like so oddly good at the same time somehow. I think it has more to do with the nothing being on TV in the summer then I'm giving it credit for.
What else... I dunno. I feel like I need another paragraph for a good post. Oh I know! Sort of like the legendary Planet Earth documentaries, Discovery channel has this thing about the Pacific, whether it be the oceans there, the islands, etc. It is truly awesome and very informative. You can learn a lot and it looks beautiful if you have an HD tv. I have been quite satisfied with the episodes I have seen so far. Consider it recommended to you all.
Work is so ridiculous long. This week it has felt so long it is not even funny. I don't know how people have been doing this for like 40 years or more that is just unbelievable I can't even imagine doing that. I dunno, maybe it gets easier to deal with or something once you have a chunk of years under your belt... Probably not though. Guess I'll just have to win the lottery, no problem there right?
One last note. Watching Conan, Michael Phelps is like the most uninteresting person to watch in an interview. Geez. I guess all that swimming doesn't leave much time to get much of an exciting personality. I dunno, might not be fair to say. Maybe he just doesn't like doing the whole interview thing. Wouldn't blame him, he is young and he has probably done so many.
Alright I'm done.

Random Nonsense awmfeu; wfieojfos;
Monday.
10:34 EST
this might be the new worst time of day. You have already been at work or school for a few hours, and you still have at least an hour an a half give or take a bit until lunch time. Thinking further, you still have several hours until you can leave. I think I have found the new worst time of day.
Screw you 10:34.
My boss isn't in today. I have declared that since if he isn't in by now, and if he doesn't come in after lunch (crossing fingers) I doubt he will be here. That means if the only other person here that I work with leaves at 3:00 like he always does, I'm out of here faster then a freakin' bat on speed.
I think I'm going to get a haircut today. It's getting longer, as hair tends to do... It's not that it is too long, but it is getting there and I don't like that. I used to have my hair pretty long and curly. Now I like to keep it short. Looks better on me I think, most people that I have daily interaction with outside of a blog in the real world tend to agree. You should probably just take their word for it.
My stomach hurts. Besides the potential for leaving early, this day just has suck all over it.

Back Again
I'm not sure if I beat the previous record for days in between posts or not, but I don't think it matters when I am pretty sure I only average probably 2 readers every other week.
But the show goes on.
I had this whole week off, because I wanted and needed it to be so. I was in St. Louis as I mentioned from last Thursday till this Tuesday, and then I figured well I don't know if I'll be taking any other time off from work or not, so I am going to extend my vacation a bit... The result was taking the rest of the week off. Funny how fast that time went, as it is already 3 in the morning on Saturday as I write this... Down to a whole 2 days left of the vacation. I'm pretty sure one full work day feels like it is as long as this whole week has been. I'm not sure if that means I need a new job or what, but either way it is a sucky realization.
But there is no reason to dwell, no use in that really.
I kind of want to see Public Enemy (Enemies?) with Bale and Depp. It looks really good, and those 2 are pretty good at what they do, so it sounds like a winner. I haven't really looked at any reviews yet or heard anything about it interestingly enough, but that wouldn't really deter me anyway.
Not much else has really been new. I have been taking advantage of my time off by doing absolutely nothing, and it has felt good. I think I might try to use these last two days to good advantage and, oh I don't know, actually go outside or come out of my room for once. Usually I would see that as a bad thing, just hanging out in my room for most the day. But honestly it is such a great feeling to just relax like that and not worry about anything...
That's it for me, have a good weekend

I knew this mobile blog would come in handy.
I am currenty in St. Louis with my sister visiting my brother and his wife. We got here Thursday morning, at a time I won't speak of cause it may cause vomitting. Anyways, the weekend has been great so far.
Thursday we met my brothers dog, Onya, who is only a 6 month old pup. One of the sweetest dogs I have ever come across. There is no possible way to not like this dog. The training my brother has done for hours with the dog really paid off; this thing listens to ever little thing he says. It is quite impressive if you ask me.
Friday we hung around the house a bit, but then later on went down by the arch where they had a fair and the countng crows played. Afterwards there were fireworks.
To close last night we went to The City Museum. Think of a giant playground that spans 10 stories of this downtown building, and it's for kids and adults alike. This place is so unique and so bizarre one cannot even begin to describe this place. I took some pictures but I can't send them on my mobile blog, I will upload them when I'm home however.
Definitely considering writing a whole post about that place. If you ever have 4 or 5 hours to burn and your in St. Louis, please go you will not regret it. Warning though, it's not for those who are out of shape, overweight, claustrophobic, or afraid of heights. You must also have a sense of adventure. What a place.
That's it for me right now, happy 4th of July everyone

Blsah WEF wfj jsf blah
Today is the slowest day at work maybe ever... I don't know why, but it is. Probably has something to do with that being a Monday thing...
it's 80 degrees and sunny outside... and im in here. The worst part is so are like millions of other people around the US and the world working in office buildings... It's terrible. I am going to design an office that takes advantage of the outdoors somehow. I have no experience in architecture, but I did get a B+ in geometry.
Still thinking about Megan Fox... *drool*
back to play little games on my iPhone

Another Monday, Another Post
So I did see Transformers 2 over the weekend, and it was amazing. The last 45 minutes is like one of the most epic things you will watch in an action movie in the past 10 years. Which means I was correct in my prediction. Not only were the fighting robots way more awesome the second time around, Megan Fox was slaaaaaammmiinggg gorgeous in this movie. There was one part where she was changing into this white dress or whatever, and you could see a lot of leg going on... and wow I'll just stop there.
I think the only thing better then being an actor and having all that money because of it, is being able to make out with girls like Megan Fox. Sure it is just on camera, and sure it is only for one or two scenes in a movie, but holy crap every single guy in America is incredibly jealous of that Shi Labouff or however it is spelled kid. That kid isn't even anything special! If he wasn't a movie star, he would never ever in a thousand years plus one get a girl like Megan. It makes me quite mad and even more jealous. What a lucky man. I'm sure he knows he is lucky. He better, or he deserves a punch in the face.
Geez... Time to change the subject before I get lost in thought about Megan Fox
Anyway... Back in reality, nothing terribly exciting on my neck of the woods besides seeing that movie. The working out has sort of fallen out... I don't know, I need to regain motivation somehow. It's not that I mind doing it or that I mind that it is hard and is not easy. Just for some reason I can't bring myself to actually do it. When I do do it, however, I don't want to stop doing it. Even though it is hard and gets progressivly harder since your getting tired and everything.
I find that with a lot of things with me. I have the hardest time just getting started or commiting, but once I do I am focused and dedicated. Maybe that's why I have such a hard time starting, because I know I won't BS it once I start doing it. Like I've said before, anything worth doing is worth doing right.
If I could just get past that first step in my life, I'd be in a lot better shape. Haha, no pun intended but now that I realized it is a pun I'll actually leave it like that.
But it's not always getting past the first step, the bigger problem is finding the first step, and knowing how to take it. That is where things get tricky my friends.
Anyway, I am continuing to build up in my mind even as we speak the motivation to work out and stuff, so we will see what the result is I'm not entirely sure where it will lead me yet.

I think the only thing better then being an actor and having all that money because of it, is being able to make out with girls like Megan Fox. Sure it is just on camera, and sure it is only for one or two scenes in a movie, but holy crap every single guy in America is incredibly jealous of that Shi Labouff or however it is spelled kid. That kid isn't even anything special! If he wasn't a movie star, he would never ever in a thousand years plus one get a girl like Megan. It makes me quite mad and even more jealous. What a lucky man. I'm sure he knows he is lucky. He better, or he deserves a punch in the face.

Wow...
i just made a post with like my own funny pictures and everything, and then blogger said it ran into an error... Screw that. I'm not typing up the whole thing again.
Here is the funny picture, by the way. I was talking about how Transformers is a good movie because of fighting transforming robots and hot girls:
Have a good weekend

It's A Big World Out There
I have determined that not that many people read this. That's okay, though. It will not deter me from writing about what I do best: nonsense.
some random guy won the US Open in golf earlier today. The only thing worse for the PGA Tour and it's ratings for having some random guy win, is the fact that it happened in the middle of the day when everyone was at work, and younger folks were probably out and about on a beautiful summers day.
The Dave Matthews Band concert I atteneded on Saturday was unbelievable. I couldn't have asked for a better setlist. This was probably my 9th or 10th time seeing the band live, and I think I finally got to hear every song that I ever wanted to hear live. The new songs from the album translated wonderfully live, and overall it was a great night. Perfect weather too, which was lucky because their was supposed to be rain at any point in time during that day. In fact, it actually did start to rain about 20 minutes after we got out of the concert. Anyway, what a day and what a concert.
Rant time: It seems like each year I go to the DMB summer concert, there are less and less fans each time and more and more random people that are there because they think it is cool or they think it is an excuse to run around and spew high school drama from the top of their lungs... Oh well. At least I got to experience the time when sitting out on the lawn meant the majority of people were singing along and actually, and this is quite a concept, actually listening to the music. It seemed like most of the people there didn't even know there was a concert going on... That could have been for the fact that a lot of them were too intoxicated to even remember the music, but whatever. Whatever makes you happy I guess. I think the solution is to buy good tickets next year and get actual seats closer to the stage.
Anyway, enough of the ranting. It was still fun but I just needed to get that off of my mind.
Wimbledon has started. I know, I know, most of you (the few that read this) are probably like "WHAT?! why is he talking about TENNIS?!" Ok well first of all, Tennis is a good sport if you just get over yourself and watch it. Two, it's really the only sport that goes on during the summer that is also on TV and involved professionals that also coincidentally is exciting to watch. Don't get me wrong, I love golf, but it's better used as a sleep aid then a source of entertainment when it comes to watching it on TV. Don't even get me started on baseball. There are so many things wrong with Major League Baseball it is not even worth getting into. It would take longer then all the posts on this blog combined. And another paragraph too.
But anyway, it has started and I am excited. True, I used to be like you and probably passed when I saw tennis on TV, but if you get into it you will see it is pretty exciting to watch. It is pretty fast paced, the shots that are made are amazing, and there is a lot of tension in the close matches. It's a great sport really fun to watch.
Well I think that is all from me for now. Probably about to go to bed soon but want to check a few websites before I do, maybe read a little bit from the commerative Sports Illustrated I got a few days ago on the Penguins Stanley Cup Championship Season (Woooo!!). It has definitely settled in by now, and is now forever locked in history in my mind. A memory so vivid and important that it is ready to pounce at a moments notice, even in 50 years, from my subconscious into my short term memory when I am telling my grand children about the great Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the understated Marc Andre Fleury, and the underdog Maxime Talbot. Oh it is glorious to think about.
With that, I bid you a good evening

2:00 On A Friday
The only thing worse then waiting for the bell to ring in your last period of the day when you are a kid in school, is waiting for the clock to reach that hour when you are free from work when you are of adult age.
Unfortunately that time is still two and a half hours away as I write this.
So the NHL awards were lame. Was really badly produced, not very exciting, people didn't even really even clap most the time. At the very end when they were moving the camera around the audience, they cut to the great Mark Messier, who was seen head down texting on his cell phone... That's about how awesome those awards must have been even if you were there. Athletes can definitely put on a show if it deals with athletics, but boy... Hockey Players are nooo entertainers otherwise.
Ok, a little harsh. Every now and then their were a few good comments that showed some personality on the players part, but it was hard to tell when the awards were basically the "Russian Awards" as one of the presenters on the show actually even joked about himself. Hard to be interested when the guy up at the mic is speaking to the vocabulary of a 7 year old. Not his fault. If I was paid to play hockey in Russia and I was from the US, I don't think I'd put much effort into learning Russian, even after being there for a few years.
Was nice to see Chara and Tim Thomas (Boston Bruins) win their respective awards for best defensemen and goalie. They seem like classy guys, and they had good speeches when accepting their awards.
Enough about all that now, already took up half a post.
What else what else...
new iPhone software 3.0 came out. I don't know if I already mentioned it or not, but it is pretty cool. They added some neat features. I won't really get into it because as I am typing this the suspicion grows that I've already talked about this... But I could be wrong. Chances are if you own an iPhone you already know about it and probably have the new software.
Ok, so this is a chance for people to sound off... and a chance for me to see if anyone actually reads this.
I am looking for some new music to listen to. I just need a few albums to give a try to fit inbetween the stuff I have been listening to forever. If you have a band, a few bands, artists, whatever, leave a comment with your suggestions. It can be anything or anyone, even rap which I don't like but ONLY if it doesn't sound like usual rap. If you don't know what that means then your better off just not leaving that suggestion.
I don't know what else to write about. Life is kinda boring when you work 8 hours a day and then just do the same few hobbies every day (guitar, video games, read a magazine). Not that its really boring for me, because I love doing those things, but it doesn't leave a lot to write about on a blog...
Or does it it? I think I might have sparked a few ideas for my next post... Probably involving one of those hobbies of mine I mentioned.
Leave your music suggestions, please!
Peace.

Another Mobile Post
So you will be able to tell which ones are mobile because I still haven't figured out how to put a title on mobile posts. I'm not that concerned though. It's sort of along the lines of how I always thought all book covers should just be white or black or something with an unimpressive font -- so as to never having to worry about judging a book by it's cover.
Speaking of that, does anyone over the age of like 13 even do that? I did that as a kid... But now I could care less what is on the cover.
I don't know how long text messages can be in the first place, so time to close this post. US Open starts today, which is cool, and I have the DMB concert on Saturday up at the Pavillion I am excited for. Now that I have an iPhone, anticipate pictures.
NHL Awards on tonight as well. If you like hockey I'm sure you will tune in.
Ok I'm done for now

Long Time
It has been 6 days, I'm sure any reader I have had has probably moved onto other blogs by now. But I must continue. I am like the independent ice cream seller who has his little hut to sell ice cream out of, and down the street there is a big-time ice cream chain company with their 50 foot sign and a billion flavors. But you know what? That ice cream may be really good, but it tastes all the same. This ice cream is lesser known, but who knows? Maybe you think it tastes better then that ice cream. So next time your driving down the street, stop by. The line is a lot shorter here.
That is my beautiful analogy for the day. I love making them, expect it to occur again sometime.
So where were we last time?
I can't even begin to describe the feelings I have/had after the Penguins won the Stanley Cup. Even 5 days later or whatever it has been it still seems unbelievable, although there were certain points in those days that it would really hit me and I would get goosebumps reading an article or seeing a picture of the team. Crosby is on the front of this weeks SI, coming out tomorrow. Might be on news stands today already, I don't know. Mine always gets in on Thursday.
They have great pictures... I guess a magazine that basically calls itself 'Sports Pictures' should... The Leading Off portion of their magazine, which comes in the front (how appropriate) is the best part of the mag. For those not familiar, they fill two entire pages at a time of pictures from the past weeks sporting events. They are awesome, great photography, and wonderful quality. Like mini posters really. I am expecting an awesome one from the Stanley Cup game.
I could go on and on forever about the Pens and their victory, but I think I'll just leave it at the fact that I couldn't have been more happy and proud of the team and city. I'm pretty sure on this blog, a few posts back, I said something along the lines of not counting them out and believing... Well, believing is a big thing and after game 5 a lot of people either doubted or had already said it's over. Well it 'aint over until the clock reaches 0.00 on that clinching game, so maybe a lot of early-bird doubters learned a lesson from this amazing victory. What a win, and what an incredible season. October can not come soon enough.
The working out continues. This is the second week. I got some advice that I should just take a before picture, save it, and then in 8 weeks put it next to a picture of how I will be. Ok. Fine with me, just means I don't have to take pictures of myself every week for 8 weeks. Fair enough.
But the working out does continue. Going pretty well, today is actually another workout day so I'll be sure to muster up some good ol' Rocky courage and energy. Always helps when doing stuff like this to channel Slyvester Stallone. I don't know why.
Alright, enjoy the rainy day (if your in Pittsburgh)

Burning Time
So I needed like 15 minutes before I left to go to lunch, and today is sort of a slow day and I don't have much to do... I was already perusing the internets throughout the morning, and was running out of sites that I frequently visit... So what was there to do?
Make another blog post.
I think this is only the second time i made two posts in one day. The first time was when this thing started, and I put an intro and the first "chapter" of life stuff that I was going to be talking about. Funny how I haven't done that in awhile, and it was the aim of this blog. Oh well. This is more fun anyway.
It's like writing in a journal afterall, and I wasn't going to do that because like I said in one of those early posts, who cares and who will want to read it? But then I realized, well that is all blogs are anyway. They are like these journals of stuff that their authors care about and then it just so happens that people come across these blogs and care about the same thing.
I'm still not sure if anyone actually reads this, it's something that blogger/blogspot/whatever this thing is called really needs to add; the ability to see how many people visit your blog... It would be nice to see if I have really been talking to myself and two other people the whole time.
If this ability already exists somewhere within blogger, then I apologize to the kind people that created this thing.
Still 6 minutes remaining.
If I wrote for 7 minutes, this post would probably get unbelievably long. How bout I waste some time by putting up some interesting links? I will have to find them, of course, and then it will take time to upload them into this post.
Searching...
Project Natal -- In case you didn't take my suggestion and look for it yourself, now you have no excuse but to just click on the link and learn about Natal. TRUST ME. Even if you don't like video games, you will be at least intrigued by this. I still plan on making a full blown post about this soon
Internet Economy Creates Jobs -- The power of the internets!! The internet has created a whole ton of jobs. Still convinced there is nothing it can't do. Except feel. And eat. I dunno maybe the internet eats and I'm just unaware.
Robot That Reads Intentions? This is both cool and kind of creepy at the same time. Robotics advances everyday in terms of things we get them to do for us, but this article talks about how scientists/engineers are working on robotic intelligence that can work with us. Very cool stuff. If I was smarter in the ways of mathematics and science I would have gone into Robotics; fascinating stuff.
I'm a minute past when I was planning to leave. Successful wasting time post, indeed.
