Late Night Boredom Rant

What’s with those late night saying they have next year’s technology? Especially when it has 64MB video memory. I doubt I’ll be using it for ten years. Wow, they’re actually giving me a 7200rpm HDD vs. the old 5600mhz. I can get it at Fry’s or elsewhere.How do they give out next year’s technology? Did they go to the future or something? Ooooo, it has a snazzy neon light, perfect to cater to us Rice Boys. If it’s so high tech why are they still giving out 56k sh*t dial up and try to make it sound cool by saying its lightning fast and best of all free? Plus it’s so damn expensive! I can build that system way cheaper! If I wanted to spend that much money, I’d buy an alienware. It doesn’t even have a DVD burner! The only thing I can see worth it is the software included. Then again they’re probably all crap and I wouldn’t even be able to sell it on eBay. Hell, I get all my programs for free anyway. Oh, and no, you cant turbo charge or supercharge your computer. Even Rice Boys know that. If you want to say it, say it right. Overclock, or a program that frees up memory, NOT TURBO CHARGE!

Sure I’m going to be flamed, ”It’s for people who are too lazy or are too tech stupid.” Well, sure, but setting up your own computer isn’t so hard. You’re thinking, ”Adam, not every one knows as much as you about computers, you smart ass.” (Notice I didn’t say I know everything nor did I say I was all knowing or anything) My reply? Even an idiot can build a computer. Sure instructions might be needed for the average or lower being (such as a monkey or something), but that’s what they

Dragonball, Damn Watered Down Imports & Unemployed Again.

Lately I’ve been watching a LOT of Dragonball and DBZ. I can’t believe I didn’t get into this sooner. I guess its because it’s the American market ”pawn-off” version. You know, the watered down version? Kinda like when the water down every other damn Import movie/manga. All the damn GOOD Chinese movies (primarily Jet Li and Jackie Chan) brought to America and cut to be acceptable to the American market. LEAVE IT THE WAY IT IS!!! This is why I’d rather buy imports straight from the origins.

But, I digress. True, DB & DBZ, I’m told, are watered down versions, but it’s the best I got. I wish I had Cartoon Network a LONG time ago, I dunno what I’d do without it now. No more DB, DBZ, and Powerpuff Girls. Yes, I still watch PPG.

I’m so addicted to Dragonball, that I’m researching for any and all info on the ”wired” about it, trying to find anything I can! I’m such a NERD! The DBZ test even says it!

Which DragonballZ Character are you?


Man, I need to be more productive during the week while I’m unemployed again. I’m still looking for jobs, so no worries. Only, this time, I don’t have Unemployment to back me up. Sure I can file again, but I’d only get $87 a week, sure I can eat off that. But, I figure not to depend on that anymore and save it for later if I REALLY need it. UE is based on your last quarter’s income claim, since I had a grand total of $0 income, I get the minimum amount. So, hopefully, I’ll get a job soon. The way I think is if I work for 3 months, get laid off, THEN open a new claim, I’ll get a higher amount versus opening a claim now and only get the $87 after I get laid off again. Does that make any sense? Probably not, I think I’m rambling now. It’s 2:36. STFU. I hate you. I need sleep. Nope, back to Warcraft 3! Wheeeeeee.

My Mother

I don’t know what it is, but whenever she goes on some sort of vacation she always gets me Ralph Lauren Polo Clothes, and for some reason, it’s always FAKE! I really don

Money, No More. =(

Ok, so by some odd chance, my prayers have somewhat been answered. I managed to lose another job. I wasn’t fired, but rather, the project was ended around the time they told us it would. They said it would be around a month or two, at most until the end of the year. I thought it was the most boring job to have, but it was income so I guess I didn’t mind it too much. Plus, I didn’t have any immediate supervisor, so that was cool too. But, I really hated just sitting there doing nothing. I guess a lot of time I wasn’t doing anything; I was helping customers, officially. For the most part I was either sleeping in the car, playing Hot Shots Golf 3 on PS2, playing Super Smash Brothers Melee on Game Cube, wandering the store aimlessly, or chatting with the guys in the camera isle or computer section. But, it has all come to an end. No more job, YES! No more money, NO! Well, time to look for another (good paying) job.

Hockey Sunday

Wheee. A whole weekend of hockey! Saturday was my brother, Phillip’s, game. Then yesterday I watched the Sharks lose another one. Then, later that evening, I played my game at the San Jose Logitech Ice Centre.

After the first period was over we were down 0-1, which was odd, because throughout the game we were out shooting them, we just couldn’t convert them to goals. Around 2 minutes after the start of the second period, I was on a 2 on 1 with my center, he passes it back to me, taking the defense with him so it was 1 on 1 with the goalie, I wait until the last possible moment and pull the trigger. GOAL, glove side! I like it fancy, heh. I was denied 6 other times, with 2 really good glove saves by the opposing goalie. Which made it 1-1. The last 30 seconds of the game, the score was 2-2, and we were on the other side several shots go to the goal, but are all denied. The puck was cleared to our half of the ice and struggle a few seconds over there but manage to clear it up to center ice. The left winger and I get a good break away 2 on 0, then the horn blows, the game ends 2-2. If only we had a few seconds we would have had another scoring chance. I think we would have gotten it too. Oh well, at least it wasn’t another loss. Plus, I scored a goal! Good thing too, this made yesterday’s +/- a 0 yay…

Phillip Hockey & the Sharks

Yesterday, my uncle and I brought my brother to his hockey game. I was to tape his game for my parents since they’re still out of town.(they get back tomorrow morning) The game before his was a pretty cool game. I think it was an age group above his. Anyway, it was the 3rd period and not much time left. The home team was down 2-1. Frustrated, they ended up getting two penalties, at different times. So, down by one, playing 5 on 3, about 2 minutes left, the opposing team held the puck up to waste time. Unfortunetly, for the team ahead, the ref blows the whistle. I guess you can’t just hog the puck to waste time, they should have just passed the puck a lot to waste time. But, no, they just held it behind their goal. This stops the play for a face off in the Away team’s ice. The Home team wins the face off, and scores! The game ends 2-2.

Oh, my brother’s game? Well, I have the first ten minutes of his game on tape. Hrm, his games are 45 minutes long! Yeah, he said the batteries were charged. Yeah… They weren’t. So his team struggled most of the game, getting scored on within the first 2 minutes of the game, and until the last 2 minutes were 1-2. After those two minutes, Phillip scores the tieing goal. All the parents cheer.

Woohoo! The Sharks finally signed Nabokov! Maybe they’ll win some now… Then again, they just lost to the Blackhawks 2-3. At least I have hockey soon! YAY! Hope we do better this time.

Hockey Sunday

Horrible! We managed to lose again last Sunday. This time 1-8! And we had almost 3 full forward lines (Center and 2 wingers). I say ”almost” because we HAD 3 full lines, but 1 guy got ejected because he didn’t have a chin strap… LAME! Well, I guess it’s ok. I didn’t do as bad as I could have, I only came out of the game with a -2. The worst I could have done was a -8. I got 2 REALLY good shots on goal, but that’s about it. My excuse is that we’re a new ”franchise” so we don’t work as a team yet. All the other teams have been together a while and work great together. They all have matching jerseys and socks. We look like the bad news bears of hockey. Kinda like those ghetto Mighty Ducks. At least this week, I don’t have any big injuries or bruises. I’m still a little sore, but that’s expected.

I’m wondering if I should make my blog an ”un-abridged” blog, with no holds barred blogging, or have a separate one just for me. Obviously there’s more to my life that’s written here. It just might not be appropriate for such a public document. Oh well, whatever.

Hockey

Stupid Shakira. She can shake it, but, she’s NOT allowed to steal my ice time at the HP Pavillion! My game at the HP Pavillion is postponed because SOMEONE just HAS to have a concert then and there. Stupid.

Free! … Sorta.

Ok, so, my family is gone for more than a week. My parents left on Friday and I just dropped off my sister at the airport. They’re off to Hawaii to visit the rest of the family. The twins are having a 1 year birthday over there. I couldn’t go because of money, school, and work. Fun, fun, fun! So, I’m stuck here with my brother all week. I guess it’s ok, he’ll be gone until Sunday night, himself. He has hockey in Sparks this weekend, so until then I’m all by myself. Wheee. Non stop parties until next Sunday or so…

Yeah, right. I don’t know that many people to even make a decent party. Not to mention too many people would make me claustrophobic. Hell, I don’t even know enough people to make a decent picnic! Back to square one.

I guess I’ll sit at home and watch a little TV.
