A Winner Is You.

Yay. Just woke up from a bit of a nap, though I’m still tired.

Got paid the little bit from working the last two weekends, and I plan to go and watch Matrix: Reloaded just as soon as I can find out what times it is shown at the local theater.

This morning was a bit entertaining, but I’ll go into that in a later post.

I did get the tire on my car fixed, so I can drive it again.

Driving is important to my financial health.

I still am glad that I noticed the tread seperating form the tire, and was able to get a new tire so quickly, as the old one could have blown at any time… and in this area, there’s some places that you don’t particularly want to experience a blowout. Like near the ditches… and there is a lot of them around.

I get to work myself again tonight, partially because my dad decided to take the tire we were replacing my busted one with off a van, and the van moved, pinning his shoulder a bit, and with his torn rotator cuff, it’s not a good thing. He instinctivly tried to get it out, and ended up popping his shoulder, so his right arm isn’t good for a whole lot at the moment.

Oh well. More money for me. Tonight + tomorrow + at least 1 day next weekend and I should have enough for a hardware modem soon.

Where’s my damn red pill?

You are Morpheus, from “The Matrix.” You
have strong faith in yourself and those around
you. A true leader, you are relentless in your
persuit.

The Oracle.

The following is an excerpt.

> Where have all the cowboys gone?

} First, just to make sure we’re clear, I could come to a gunfight with a
} spoon and win anyway. Isn’t *that* ironic?
}
} Hmm, cowboys, cowboys–I had them here a second ago… Ah, here we
} are. Since the main job of the cowboy was to herd cattle from the
} ranches to the various slaughterhouses, the need for them was greatly
} reduced as more of the country was connected via road and rail. Today,
} all the cowboys have changed professions to a modern job that suits
} their skills. Since they can withstand a great deal of monotony, are
} proficient in pointing brainless animals in the proper direction
} (especially when the destination is not in the animals’ best interest),
} jump into action the moment any little thing goes awry (which includes
} things being “too quiet”), don’t care what they’re wearing as long as
} it’s comfortable and are willing to shoot someone they don’t like on
} sight, they are currently in great demand.
}
} We now call them tech support.
}
} And don’t be fooled by those namby-pamby city-slickers on “help desk”.
} Those fools can’t tell a SCSI port from a hole in their head. I’m
} talking real tech support. The guys and girls who’ll format a hard
} drive just to show the machine who’s boss (especially if it runs any
} form of Windows). I once saw a man quick-draw his leatherman and swap
} out two hard drives and a motherboard before the greenhorn MCSE he was
} facing found the power switch. Some say they’ve lost their spark from
} the old days, but those who do have never felt the sting of a blood
} sacrifice freely given to the gods of PCI card installation.
}
} Oh, you want to know how to win a gunfight with a spoon? Just hold it
} up and say “There is no spoon”. When your opponent looks at your hand
} to try to figure out what you’re talking about (and how to get you to
} share your obviously high-quality stash), you kick him in the
} saddlehorn.
}
} You owe the Oracle a pair of chaps, a spoon, and a saddlehorn cup.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Odd.

I dunno, I’m felling extremely bored today…

fun fun fun, in the sun sun sun.

Lets see…

Today, I went to work, believing that I had to clean. When I got there, one of the other cleaners was there… turns out I didn’t have to be there

I ended up just grabbing the next month’s schedule and leaving.

As I was returning home, I stopped by wal-mart, and now I have a couple cases of code red, so the next few days are good ones.

Also today, I helped a friend of mine get a blog here on aspyre, and now he’s happy too.

I added a link to a popup window showing my desktop capture over on the sidebar for anyone who’s interested in stalking me.

Enjoy.

Just in case

If you’re interested, when it’s on, here’s my desktop cam.

No Outwar.

I’ve made a couple antipixel buttons for those of us who hate outwar.

Catch 22

Noggie Online: Insanity

I think this qualifies as a pretty pure catch 22. Need the job to get the permission to get a job.

Antipixel

Ap deserves a trackback for the wonderful buttons and craze that was started there, and I can’t think of a reason not to.
