AB

Having a gun pulled on you is quite exhilarating. Funny thing is, I already miss the high of the adrenaline.
Really pulls you fully into a moment. Time stands still and your mental captures the whole scene at a mega-pixel level higher then any digital camera. Every grain of the wall behind, every twitch and motion of the face.
Pure anticipation, the seconds tick by, but each tick feels like a brick being dropped.
The barrel of the gun flashes and you wake up.

LOGOS

I spent a long time in high school studying computer graphics, effective logos, and advertising. This short animated film is a goldmine of some of the best and most recognizable logos in existence. There were only a few that I could not identify.
This film won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short.
Packed with action and social commentary that you do not want to miss, made even more relevant by the recent BP oil spill. Film was released in 2009. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

But sometimes that just ain't enough...

accounting aka elementary math

I hate the education system, lets teach the same thing a different way with different terminology and call it a different subject. YA CASH COW IDEA!
This shit is easy, I have known it since around 5th grade. Fuck accounting.

Ok go...

Hell Ya - bloodhound gang

Alright now boys and girls we've got another story for you now!
We want to introduce to you another friend of the Bible!

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God there would be no explicit sex on T.V.
Like little Opie eating pie when he made it with Aunt Bea

If I were God thou shall not worship false Billy Idols
And thou shall add the Book Of Flavor Flav to the Bible
Thou shall make fun of Hindus thou shall not make a "Speed 2"
If I were God that's what I'd do Heavens no

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

If I were God I'd get a bunch of slaves to do everything
Norwegian lesbians that feed me grapes and know how to sing

If I were God thou shall not wear tube socks with Flip-Flops
Thou shall sit and thou shall spin thou shall even wife swap
Thou shall resist the Olsen Twins, thou shall not cut "Footloose"
If I were God that's what I'd do, Heavens no

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross
I'll tell them I found Jesus that should throw them off
He goes by the name Jesus and steals hubcaps from cars
Oh Jesus can I borrow your crowbar?
To pry these God damn nails out they're beginning to hurt
Crucified and all I got was this lousy T-shirt
"I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" I'll sing as I'm flogged
Yeah that's what I would do if I were God
So vote for me for Savior and you'll go to Heaven
Your lame duck Lord is like Kevin Spacey in "Seven"
With creepy threats of H-E-Double-Hockey-Stick
You just can't teach an old God new tricks
But would I be a good Messiah with my low self-esteem?
If I don't believe in myself would that be blasphemy?
Just sport some crummy "holier than thou" facade
Yeah that's what I would do if I were God

Starting off vacation the right way.

First night of vacation last night, went out to celebrate my friend Eric's 21st. Met his family and some of his friends and commenced a night of getting him as drunk as can be. Got him 3 mini shots and a 750ml of peppermint schnapps as his gift. He took one shot before even going into the bar. A night of craziness ensued, played flip cup with a table of complete strangers and Bob one of Eric's friends, and Wes Eric's brother. I hit the cup first try all three rounds. Physics FTW. Eric's Mom got me two shots to take with the family. Plus I took several shots with Eric. B-52, sex on the beach, red headed slut, and plenty of beer.
Met some cool people and headed back to Eric's place because I was way too gone to drive. It has been a long time since I have been drunk enough to consider sleeping on the floor comfortable. No hangover though, so that's good. Going to spend the rest of the week reading, watching movies, plays, and hanging out. Not having a schedule rocks. Maybe some fallout 3 if i can get the Xbox360 to hook to the ancient TV. Once it stops raining I might also go for a run.

Can't help but laugh

Too lazy to make a new blogpost so just gonna recycle a facebook note from earlier today.

It is funny, no really it is. Looking at it objectively I know it is. Subjectively however is a completely different story. Maybe it is supposed to be this way, maybe it is not. It has been this way for a long time, and I have tried so many different ways to remove the issue.
Nothing seems to work.
Sometimes it makes me want to punch walls, flip tables, and destroy anything and everything. I get so frustrated there is no real way to describe. I never do though. Always maintain self control. Always.
Bottle it up, and move on.
Other times I am more apathetic. Only so many times before the jade sets in and I see it, I acknowledge it, but I just dont care. Not anymore. Forget bottling, just damn the damn stream.
No emotion, why feel?
And still there are other times when somehow I get some sick masochistic pleasure out of it. If nothing else it reminds me that I am alive, aware, and still kicking.


But the bottom line is no one really gives a shit. They really dont. Everyday people ask me how are you? How you doing? Do you really think they want the honest answer when it is anything except "I am doing good how about yourself?" Fuck no they dont. Give them your problems and all they will be thinking is who is this person I have enough problems of my own.
Society has trained us to lie. To others and to ourselves.
I used to think maybe there was a way to change this. But the definition of insanity is trying the same thing over and over expecting the same results. I am done. I wish I could just wave my magic wand and change the world, but it seems pretty hopeless to me. Perhaps morality is dead. Perhaps I am hanging on to a dying idea. Perhaps I am just not good enough. I do not know what the reason is, I just know what is. I will destroy it. It will end with me.

Pay attention

First-year students at Med School were receiving their first Anatomy class with a real dead human body.

They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet.

The professor started the class by telling them: “In medicine, it is necessary to have 2 important qualities as a doctor. The first is That you not be disgusted by anything involving the human body.” For an example, the Professor pulled back the sheet, stuck his finger in the butt of the corpse, withdrew it and stuck his finger in his mouth. "Go ahead and do the same thing,” he told his students. The students freaked out, hesitated for several minutes, but eventually took turns sticking a finger in the butt of the dead body and sucking on it.

When everyone had finished, the Professor looked at them and told them, “The second most important quality is observation. I stuck in my Middle finger and sucked on my index finger. Now learn to pay attention.”

Run School Work Run Work School

Well hello summer classes, goodbye free time.

Reading a lot.

Wheres my mind?

To solder or desolder that is the question!

Well the TV project = big fail.

I finally got the parts in the mail, soldered them on the board. Plugged the board back in, screwed everything together and voila the TV comes on.... For 31 minutes.... same problem. Oh well I taught myself how to solder and desolder, and did it correctly because the TV actually came on still. If I knew what was wrong with the TV maybe I could fix it but since I have no clue now, it is going to stay broken.

Granted I could replace every god damned capacitor but just switching out two took 20 minutes with my amateur skills.

So heres the run down,

solder gun 20$

Solder wick 3$

fire extinguisher (just in case) 20$

Wire clippers and star bit screwdriver 15$

58$ total in attempting to fix it.

Xbox 360 works fine though so thats a +199

overall came ahead 140$ plus I can keep all the tools in case I ever need to use them again.

TV will be taking a permanent vacation to the dumpster.

End project.

Work today I got trained in a new position, setting me up to cover another co-worker when he goes on vacation. I can do just about anything there now. In two months it will be a year since I got promoted. I have learned sooooo much. Honestly a great experience.

Running is going well I guess, School is about to start back up.

Back to the perpetual circle of life I guess.
