Another Nea Quote

Nea: "Freedom: What Americans say they have."

Nea Quote

Talking over AIM about stupid people:

Nea: "No I agree that stupid people make decisions that combat awareness."

I love that, combat awareness!

Wish List

This is the first of many wish lists. It will include both the more practical wishes, to the far flung, fanciful wishes wishing for things that don't even exist yet. This list isn't in any particular order.
1. New Car. Preferably a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution-I love speed and I love all wheel drive-but really a manual transmission car made after 2000 would work, or an old sweet car like a 1997 Toyota Supra or a 1967 Ford Mustang.
2. Top of the line Alienware gaming desktop.
3. Top of the line Alienware gaming notebook.
4. Top of the line Alienware extremely portable notebook.
5. Top of the line Alienware home entertainment computer and top of the line HDTV, sound etc.
6. Top of the line server
7. Logitech 505 Watt THX certified 5.1 surround sound speakers -old ones were stolen from my school's storage over the summer.
8. iPhone like phone built on open hardware and software.
9. Many more computer games.
10. Playstation 3
11. The ability to play a guitar, or at least the patients to learn.
12. The ability to write my final paper.
13. More to come, because I'm the kind of guy that wants a lot of things. Yeah, my life is all about possessions, yay go me.

PS. Having Google Adsense actually display ads related to my blog content would be good too.

Idiot Asshole Tries to Trademark an Acronym

Drew Curtis is trying to trademark the acronym NSFW (not safe for work) with his company Fark. I seriously doubt he will succeed, seeing at NSFW is a general acronym already used by thousands, if not millions, and wasn't created by him. I don't even understand why he tried. Seems like a colossal waste of time for everyone. Maybe thats just his goal: to waste other people's time. I sometimes wonder if what many people call idiots are just assholes trying to waste everyone else's time. For more go to Gizmodo.

Yay!

The shitty computer store chain CompUSA sold all its stores to a liquidator and will be closing all of its store sometime after the holiday season. That place really sucked.

Superbad Gets Pulled From Shelves

The special edition of the Superbad DVD has been pulled from Wal-Mart shelves in Hawaii because it includes a fake ID made after the one McLovin used to purchase alcohol. Really? They pull a really great comedy because it includes a fake, fake ID? How dumb can Wal-Mart get?! It has a freaking hologram on it that alternates between Fogell and McLovin.

More Internet Problems

So, its been almost a week since I emailed my complaint about the University of Redlands' internet connection to a person in the IT department and of course no one has responded-same as last year. I don't know why, but I find slow internet to be one of the most frustrating things in the world. I think it's more than just my normal impatience with life.

I really hope that my DSL at home has sped up since summer. I'm going home for winter break on the 17th and I'll be cut off from most of my friends. It will be good to get away, but that feeling won't last long. I always get irritable around my parents and turn into a jerk and get into fights with them. Yeah, its great.
