Lack of Updates

Sorry for the lack of updates. As of 3 days ago I moved to Farmington, New Mexico and have since been busy unpacking and getting settled. I'll make a few huge posts detailing everything and uploading photos and video soon, so check back soon. Also, we haven't had DSL installed yet so I have to leech off of our neighbors open wireless network.

However, here is a quick update for the time being:

- My new house is amazing!

- My roommate Ben seems awesome and I think we'll have a really good time.

- My original roommate David won't be coming anymore due to some loan problems.

- School starts Jan 3.

- I'm still not 100% done unpacking, but I'm getting close.

- I really need to go to the grocery store.

15 Reasons I WIll No Longer Need a Woman

* Airplanes usually kill you quickly; a woman takes her time.

* Airplanes can be turned on by a flick of a switch.

* Airplanes don't get mad if you do a "touch and go."

* Airplanes don't object to a pre-flight inspection.

* Airplanes come with a manual to explain their operation.

* Airplanes have strict weight and balance limitations.

* Airplanes can be flown at any time of the month.

* Airplanes don't come with in-laws.

* Airplanes don't care about how many other airplanes you've flow before.

* Airplanes and pilots both arrive at the same time.

* Airplanes don't mind if you look at other airplanes.

* Airplanes don't mind if you buy airplane magazines.

* Airplanes expect to be tied down.

* Airplanes don't comment on your piloting skills.

* However, when airplanes go quiet, just like women, it's usually not good.

Job Opening

I wish JP would update his blog more often.

Guttermouth...

...was amazing! I couldn't have picked a better last show before I leave. I'll post the pictures/videos I took tomorrow.

Speaking of tomorrow. Free snowboarding. Woo hoo!!! Park City Mountain Resort, here I come...

Forgetting to carry the 1 is a mistake...

This gave me a good laugh. I would like to buy this guy a beer.

Brad,

It would be difficult for me to be any more miserable right now, I feel like the worst person ever. First, let me start by saying that I am truly truly sorry, and I hate myself for hurting you. Of all the people in the whole entire world, you were honestly the last person that I would ever want to wrong in any way. There is no excuse at all or anything that happened, so I won't even try other than to say all of us had WAY too much to drink, and I did a stupid thing. I can handle you being pissed at me, I absolutely deserve it, I can even handle the ugly words that were exchanged between us, what I can't handle is thinking that you see me as a different person.

It is weird, I feel like I just went through a horrible break up or something. The world looked funny yesterday, I couldn't crack a smile if you paid me, there are songs I can't listen to, and I just feel beyond crushed. I don't know if you meant everything you said to me, and I am hoping that you didn't. I know that I was wrong on many levels, but I am also hoping that this is something that we can deal with. I know it sounds totally crazy and stupid, but you have come to play such a significant role in my life, I can't imagine my days without you.

It is totally strange and weird to say that, and you could say that my behavior didn't reflect that, and you would be correct. I hate feeling like you hate me, and I hate feeling like all of your friends think I am a terrible person, because I am not. I know there is nothing I can Say or do to take back what happened, but I just want you to know that fighting with you was just about the worst thing I could have ever imagined. It was right up there with one of the ugliest nights of my life, and I would give anything in the world to rewind and fix it. I am not sure if you will respond to this, part of me thinks that you won't. If not today, then maybe some other time.

Also, thanks for getting my stuff together, although I think my sunglasses are still at your house, if you could keep your eyes peeled for them that would be great. I can't even focus or work today, I can't eat, I seriously feel like it was an ugly break up, and I am hoping against hopes that it was not that and you are not done with me. Please don't cut me off, I really don't think I can handle that.

I am so sorry.
Elizabeth

RESPONSE:

Dear Elizabeth,

Thank you for your concern. I'll be sure to file it away under "L" for "Long-winded diatribes from drunken whores I couldn't care less about".

You did a stupid thing huh? No...doing long division and forgetting to carry the one is "a stupid thing"; Mixing in a red sock with a load of whites is "a stupid thing"; Blowing some guy in a bathroom for 45minutes while I sit at the bar wondering if you're taking so long because you ate too much bran that morning isn't as much a "Stupid thing" as it is grounds for permanent removal from my social calendar.

To be honest, I'm not sure if it was more amusing that you went and degraded yourself in a public toilet not once but twice in a 2 hour span, or that you seemed to think that by saying "Well, I didn't F**k him" somehow gave you a clean slate. So forgive me if I couldn't care less if the world "looked funny" to you yesterday. Since your world revolves around blow dryers, golden retrievers, Prada Bags and Jelly Beans, I'm sure it must have been most unsettling to actually have to consider someone else's feelings for 24 hours straight. The good news for you is that my friends don't think you're a terrible person, they just think you're the average run of the mill cum-guzzling blonde who commands about as much respect as your average child porn collector. I could be wrong but, it's pretty hard to respect some B&T chick who comes out to spend the night at my place even though she's seeing someone else in New jersey and winds up tongue-bathing the taint of anyone who decides 30 minutes of droning commentary on Colin Farrell's new
haircut is worth putting up with for a hand job in the men's room. The good thing about being a guy is that when I eventually bump into the young lad who finger-blasted you on top of a towel dispenser last saturday, we'll have a shot and laugh our heads off about the time it happened.

By the way, for the amount of time you claim to spend in spin class you really must be doing something wrong to sport the thunder thighs you do. Watching you parade around my bedroom in a thong was a little like watching sea lions mate. Thought you might like to know.

PS. I forwarded about 100 people on this email.

Talk to you never,

Brad

iSight

Well I finally went out and bought something I've been meaning to buy for quite awhile now, an Apple iSight webcam. I've been wanting one for awhile, and now that I'm only a couple weeks from leaving I figured I better get one soon. So now, if you have a webcam (which I know most of you don't, so you should get one) we can video conference while I am down in New Mexico.

I primarily use AIM, but I log on to Microsuck Messenger every now and then as well. If you don't already know, my usernames are as follows:

AIM: aimnofxslc
MS Messenger: nofxslc@hotmail.com

As I said earlier, if you don't already have a web cam you should get one, you can get cheapies for under $20.

Now, who's down for strip poker?!?!?

Dude

Wow, my last two blog posts really make me seemed depressed. As a matter of fact I've gotten 4 calls in the past few days from friends who had read my blog and were wondering if I'm ok. Which, by the way, I thank you guys for!

The fact of the matter, however, is that I'm fine. Let's just say this much, sometimes breaking up is hard to do. Oh well, shit happens, right?

Fuck it dude, let's go bowling...

I am so sick of this shit. Once and for all, leave. It's obviously too hard, so quit being selfish and give up once and for all.

Admit defeat.

Crestfallen

5 am and I'm still awake.

This is what happens when people are reckless with very fragile things.

Sad

I didn't need to see this... While reading some NOFX posts on Myspace I stumbled upon this profile. The basic story seems to be boy & girl fall in love - girl leaves boy for someone else - boy kills himself. It's not the first time this has happened, nor will it be the last.

Love is one of the strongest emotions a person can experience, and when you love someone that doesn't love you back it can cause so much pain, that death seems like the only escape. Never underestimate the power of love.

My Big Hot Hose

In about an hour I just replaced a hard to reach coolant hose in my car that they wanted over $200 to fix at the shop.

This goes to show what a ripoff mechanics are. Learn to do it yourself and save yourself some benjamins!

The Scientist

This pain and confusion is not caused by a fist, knife, or gun. The cause is something completely intangible and misunderstood. Hence why it is so confusing for me. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to solve this problem which won't seem to go away. Each idea is an experiment that I must conduct, hoping that it leads to a solution [resolution]. Unfortunately it hasn't yet.

Recently I began yet another trial. One which I really hoped was going to be successful, but it seems to be failing. And now I'm thinking it may be time to abort. I'm running out of time. I'm less than 3 weeks I leave Salt Lake City and with it, what I feel are most of the solutions to my problem.

I just don't know what to do anymore.

Ringtones

All these ringtone sites on the internet are a total scam. They all run on either a shitty credit system in which you have to buy a minimum of 10 credits, at $10 a piece, or some shady "membership" in which you pay like $8.99 a month to download unlimited ringtones. Screw it.

And to think, all I wanted was "Get Low" as my ringtone...

Damn you Verizon for not having it in your ringtone database. Now what am I supposed to do?

Coming Together

Well it seems all the pieces are falling into place for my move down to New Mexico. Yesterday I ordered all of my uniforms (we have to wear white flight dress shirts, navy blue pants and a navy blue tie whenever we're on campus) and today I found out that my loan for almost $70,000 was approved. Basically everything is set to go minus a place to live and my headset.

[gotta run, I'll update the rest of this later tonight]

I Gotta Find Out Who Does These!

I think I'm getting sick... Get the Zicam!

Front Row

Woo hoo! I just got the new Front Row to run on my iBook G4 1.44! I used this easy hack from a hacker named Andrew Escobar to do it. Basically you just run a little script that patches a few nessisary files on your Mac and then download the official Front Row update from Apple's web site. The amazing thing is that Front Row runs flawlessly on my computer with absolutely no lag or stuttering. I took a little video with my camera phone which you can see by right clicking right here to prove it's working.

Schweeet!

I highly recommend doing it!

(Mac users: When downloading the video with Safari you need to delete the .txt from the end of the video file. I don't know why Safari adds .txt to the end of the file after downloading, but it does. Sorry!)

Thursday

What goes down in SLC late on a Thursday night? Observe:
(right click the pics below and click "save as..." to view. You'll need Quicktime to do so)








Also, I give Aeon Flux a weak 7 out of 10. It's ok, but nothing special.
