This is the complex I just moved into. It has treated me well thus far and I encouraged all who are interested in seeing the splendor of utah to come down for a visit, I'd love to have you. I guess. 

I'm the aparment on the second floor with the all the brick. Just thought I'd acquaint everyone with my surroundings. 

Its also important that cars have a nice rear end. I think its fairly attractive. The decision to buy this car was 100% lust. 

I just got done washing and waxing the vehicle; thats why It looks so stellar right now. I also put in a cd player with the swimming dolphin display. 

dont be a fool

Pictures of the accord will slowly be released to the public. Unfortunately this is all that can be produced for the moment. Please be patient. Also I would like feedback about word web. Is anyone using it? It's just that I think it is amazing is all. If you don't know what I'm talking about I refer you to my post on April 9th. 

One last picture. This is me with my mission president a week or so ago at my mission reunion. I just felt like I should post some evidence that I did actually serve a mission. But I guess you'd have to talk to him for it to be evidence, anyway I present to you: President Craigh Booth. 

I don't know I just really enjoyed this guy's style. This was at a concert that was just off the hook as you can tell and this guy was just really enjoying who he was. 

These are real angels from the Easter Pageant. I don't know I think we all look happy. Maybe. 

I visited the Flaker's while I was in Arizona; As you can see they really know what they're doing in life. 

Word

Earlier in the year I made a post about the 46 best freeware/shareware programs by some guy who I don't really know but whom I know fully trust. One of the programs on the extended list is called word web and is an amazing program. Let me explain. The program loads in your start up tray.....Now I'm usually very hesitant about programs that do this because they can seriously bog down the performance of the system, however this the first program that hasn't made any noticeable affect on performance. So anyway the program boots on start up in the system tray and is defined as a dictionary/thesaurus. The cool thing about it is that it is always running in the background, and so can be initiated at anytime using hotkeys, which on my computer is control alt w. So if you come across a word in any document, simply highlight and press the hotkey. Definitions come up as well as words nearby in the dictionary. Anyway it is way faster than going to different sites on the internet and its always neat to impress friends with hotkeys. Speaking of hotkeys I use the windows button and d about every 10 seconds to get to the desktop and also windows and e for my computer. It saves a little time but its mostly just about knocking the socks off of whoever is nearby watching. Because lets be honest, someone is always watching. And also one more thing about words, using the protocol: "define: xxxxx" in google works wonders for any word not found in word web. I use it all the time for science terms. Anyway let me know how word web works out for everyone, I'm real excited.

Life changes....

So this talk pretty much changed my life. He used to be my stake president and he is now a judge for the US Court of Appeals. Watch the video or whatever of Thomas Griffith.

Have you tapped the Rockies? 

Just topped 300 lines. Next post will be zero or higher, whatever that means. I actually met someone who is just as obsessed with tetris from windows 3.1 as I am. A guy in my lab said he actually got -5000 once and without piece preview. That will have to be my next step. I really don't think I'm that big of nerd, I mean this is the only game I play. It's not like I'm online all day playing games and talking to people I only know from cyberspace and refer to as bluejay26alphamega. Gimme a break people I'm an honest to goodness innocent american boy. Rush. 

Brokeback

Never seen the movie but I know enough about it to know this is funny. Ride the wave.

2 in a series

Just thought I would inform everyone on my daily progress. Amazing how quickly one improves when there is a goal in mind. Next post will be when I clear 300 lines, and then the final goal: a score of zero? I'm not sure this even possible but sometimes phenoma is beyond simple logic. I think I just blew my own mind.

Tetris

I think I may have to find a new hobby for wasting time, I've gone well beyond the threshold for high scores for the old windows 3.1 tetris. Due to some programming inconsistencies between windows 3.1 and XP, im guessing, is the reason why after reaching a certain score the score begins to score negatively and then decrease or get closer to zero.

For those interviewing for jobs/link party

So you've got a big interview coming up and you need to have all the right answers. Huh. So yeah, I think this may soon compete with google news. Navigate the universe.

Attention freeware geeks! I'm not speaking to anyone in particular but this is exciting: The 46 greatest downloads of all time rated by the number 1 geek of all time* Just for your info I downloaded #38(1) #37(2) #26(2); all good things. And a related site in a more organized fashion: hippo

Oh and maybe just one more thing I enjoy. I just downloaded the theme ifox for firefox and its rocking my world right now. Though it makes it seem like I have an apple, I don't. That's what makes it so amazingly ridicously funny sounding and crazy. But it is ridicously good looking, and let's be honest there really isn't anything more important than that. Please forgive me, I digress...

Also, enjoy the rose bowl

PS. Also, remember to watch lost at 9 pm next Wednesday as they are returning to new episodes. If you havent even seen lost, dont worry you can catch up there are only about 34 episodes to watch. Hey, I've managed to watch all of them in 2 weeks, I'm sure you can do it in 1. Good luck to all.

This isn't a joke, jk, lol, ttyl. But this is.

*Surprisingly it's not me.

drugs;,#)><)_-

I didn't want to say too much too soon, but it would appear that my initial intuition has proven correct. Drugs are the key to success. Let me explain. Having caught the local bug for some cold throat headache bodyache thing, I was near bed ridden for 3 days prior to finals. Finding myself in quite the predicament and lacking the necessary time to study for finals I turned to my loyal friend: drugs. Having never failed me in the passed we entered into a quick partnership. Staying awake for 31 hours straight, the drugs allowed me to stay up and take the test as if I had studied for 3 days straight. Now I'm not advocating the use of drugs, but I'll tell ya what it really worked out for me, and I've got the passing grades to prove. I guess you could say my standards continue to slip steady away from me. Now I know what you must be thinking, this kid got into some hard core drugs. No, not really. Although I do hear some kids take cocaine prior to finals and study for like 3 days straight and retain everything. If my morals were different and I had loads of cash just sitting around I just might do that. But, given my circumstances and morals, I simply lurched into gray area rather than straight up black area. I took some caffiene fat burning pills or something recommended by a dear friend. So to sum up, miracles sometimes come in the form of a small pill.

Happy Holidays Peeps!

Amusing . . .

I was recently asked via email if i was dead or married. . . . . .I hope this answers their question at least in part.

I think I may have been offended. Possibly amused.

Conspiracy Theory

Let the truth be known. How did the twin towers spontaneously crumble to the earth? How did it collapse perfectly on itself without causing damage to nearby buildings? How did a third building also fold on itself when nothing hit it?

changes. discovering once again that my body is susceptable to the illnesses of the world, i have decided a major life change is in order. Sharing a room and living with 5 other slobs has gotten the best of me. I came down with sinusitus and the mumps. I was bed ridden for weeks.

Almost. I sniffled and coughed for about a week. I was very upset, and still am, which may confirm the opinion of some that I am an extremely angry person and that I have a problem. Regardless, I have put my contract for sale offering a free dinner.

There's something to be said for privacy and a place to call home, even if you do have to sell your soul to get it. As I've said before, "money's not an issue when it comes to my happiness." I'm never happier than when I'm spending other people's money. I laugh at anyone that says money can't buy happiness. And yes I am a snob.

i need my hat

despite my capability to be infinitely patient, my limits are about to be breached. i have lost my hat. i know not where it has wandered. and the worst part is is that someone has it and will not reveal its true location, nor will the possessor reveal his identity. i am at a loss for words. this is about more than a hat. it is a part of me. we have gone everywhere together, we have gone nowhere together . . . what can heal my broken heart?

How many games should a player be suspended for pushing a camera man and his camera?

Please help.....

SEOUL, South Korea - A South Korean man who played computer games for 50 hours almost non-stop died of heart failure minutes after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe, authorities said on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old man, identified only by his family name Lee, had been playing online battle simulation games at the cybercafe in the southeastern city of Taegu, police said.

"We presume the cause of death was heart failure stemming from exhaustion," a Taegu provincial police official said by telephone.

Lee had recently quit his job to spend more time playing games, the daily JoongAng Ilbo reported after interviewing former work colleagues and staff at the Internet cafe.

Despite this sad news there is a bright side. Apparently a woman who had been playing online against the man for the same period also resides in South Korea and goes by the alias, Dena. If anyone has any information concerning the whereabouts of this mysterious online phenom, the appropriate authorities should be contacted, IE., the Taegu provincial police.

This is not a joke.

OCD

Taking in the scenery at Smith Rock I can help but wonder what am I thinking? And this is what makes us human. Some say its OCD. I say shut up and stop thinking. Ahh. I apologize for the shadows which mask my brilliant tan. I'm not posting this picture because I'm into myself or anything I just want everyone to see I'm not butt-white, I am in fact almost black, especially in the shadows. Speaking of shadows, people look way better in shadows. Maybe instead of wearing make up self-conscious girls should flee from the sun and artificial light rather than seeking it and bask in the beauty which the dark provides. And I don't have OCD. PS. Beavers are human. If I could only be a beaver. If anyone knows how I can become one let me know.

Boone bends over in frustration after grounding out in what turned out to be his last at bat as a Mariner. In his last at bat he grounded out with the game tied with 2 men on in the eigth. The Mariners went on to lose 6-5 and their 7th in a row. Some shed tears of sorrow but mine were filled with joy. Bret Boone was officially released from the Mariners on Sunday. The Mariners were instantly filled with hope. Well, at least enough hope to win the game 2-1. Not surprisingly the Mariners won on Tuesday as well 6-0. Recently the Mariners had a strech where they won 12 out of 17 or so. During this stretch Boone had sat most of these games. He was benched to work on his mechanics. Then Boone came back. Thus began the 7 game skid, Boone was released and bam the team's back on track with 2 straight wins. All this is very ironic because I said not less than a week ago that the day the Mariners get rid of Boone is the day they become competetive. The M's have also been on a skid for the last 2 years, coinciding with Boone's 2 year slump. No coincidences here. Boone is gone, the M's can make the playoffs, I believe and so should you. The cancer is gone. I am very passionate on the subject as I'm sure you can tell. And I think this picture tells the story almost to well. It was time, and I am thrilled. 

too true
