Its the time for the major overhaul for my computer.
Every so often weird things start to happen. Installed the wrong piece of shitty software, one time too many. It still runs pretty well, its just that every so often it starts acting really weird. So now I'm doing the backups. Backing up everything I want to keep.
Of course, my pictures have first priority. I have almost every picture I ever took with my old camera and my new camera. Its probably close but not quite 10,000 pictures in 4 years. I did throw some away that were just experiments and pictures that people seriously asked me to delete. I'm not talking about people who didn't like the way they smiled or something. I have tons of pictures with people's eye halfway open.
I have pictures of signs, clouds, cars, snow, my shoes and a bunch of other misc stuff. When you don't need film, you can be free with the shutter. It would take me 3 cd's to burn it all but since I was trying to organize them a little better its taking 4 cd's. One for each year.
Well, I have to get up a little early tomorrow and I still have some work to do before I go to bed.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Every once in while I come across a link that is some sort of personality test. Some are just joke survey's which I rarely take the time to fill out. Some seem to have some sort of merit to them. If in the right mood I will sometimes fill these out.
I saw one last night and I started answering the questions. They were all yes or no questions but some of the answers just couldn't easily be put in to yes or no answers. For example here is the question where I finally gave up trying to take the test...
Do you see people who get taken advantage of as being weak and deserving of being used?
I personally can't answer this question with a simple no or yes.
Here is a fictional example to try to illustrate my point. It is actually a combination of several past acquaintances. There’s this girl that has this incredible crush on this guy. The problem is the guy treats her like shit. He takes advantage of her every chance he gets. Usually financially. He tells her all of this bullshit and she believes it.
Repeatedly, she catches him in these lies and continues to see him. This goes on for years. He always cheats on her and takes her for granted and she always catches him in lies and with other girls but she apparently is in denial about the whole thing.
In the first month of this story, I think most people may feel that the guy is a total asshole and that she deserves all of the support we can give her. After a certain point though, you have to say, “What the fuck is your problem?! This guy is a fuckin’ dick! You know he is a fuckin’ dick! He cheats on you and practically robs you blind. Why do you even talk to this guy?”
At first, I’m pissed at the guy for being an asshole. Later, I’m pissed at the girl for being a habitual sucker.
It like the old saying, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”
Learn from your mistakes people! I’m not against giving someone a second chance. I would even bite my tongue at a third chance. But when you get to chance number 236, I think you should fucking give it up.
I want to reiterate that this is a fictional example. I took parts of several stories and changed the sexes. This isn’t really even close to any one true story. I just want to say this before someone comes screaming that I’m talking about their personal business.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

Apparently, I was being overly negative. Everything is working now. I didn't even have to call tech support.

I stayed at work a little late so I could type up this post.
My internet service is still down and its beginning to piss me off. Everything was working fine until yesterday and now all hell is breaking loose. I am as friendly and helpful as can be to the tech support guys, because I know where these guys are coming from. They are doing the job I used to do and on occasion still do. Its just frustrating to not have your usual access to the internet. Its almost like if you watched the same TV shows every week and then one day your cable is out and you can't watch anything but a fuzzy local public TV station.
I can still use my computer but there is so much I can't do just because I don't have access to the internet.
I've stayed late enough... now I need to go home and see if I can get our system up again.
Good Night. I may be to the bar later, or not.

I just spent the last two hours on the phone with tech support to get my DSL back up.
Your lucky I did anything today.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

This has been a great weekend.
I got to see two dear friends who haven't been in town for a long while. I didn't get to spend as much time with them as I would have liked, but it was still great to see them again.
I have to say that I do have mixed feelings about their visit, Nikki especially. I am so glad they came to town. But Aaron imported his own entourage that he had to look out after and Nikki has so many people here in town that want to see her, you practically have to make an appointment to get a private word in. As a matter of fact, I saw several people grab Nikki by the arm and drag her outside so they could have a conversation with her.
This was the technique I used when I said goodbye to her Saturday night. There is some frustration to seeing someone you want to just sit down and talk with, but you can’t… because there is a whole crowd of people around who probably want to do the same thing.
Nikki and Aaron are well loved in this town.
I guess I’m going to have to visit them if I want to get a word in.
Good Night, Good Morning, whatever.

I stayed up way too late last night playing MAX PAYNE. I really need to get to sleep.
At the moment I feel like hammered shit and I'm going to bed.
Good Night Nurse.
