Ok so today after church my dad had to drive down south to a Sprint store to check on his wife's cell battery that wouldn't hold a charge and so since it was right after church there were a ton of people in the store meaning, long wait time, and what do you do when you have a long wait time in a cell phone store? You play with the cell phones of course!

So anyway I found these two phones I really like the first one I was able to connect to the internet and download some Olimpics game that cost $3 a month and play it online. The second phone I found could take pictures and not only that but email them!

<-- That's one of my brother which I sent to myself. ^_^

Ok, I had this brilliant idea after seeing someone cram a url into their MK avatar. I'm going to do the same! With a tiny url! Anyway I think this would also be a great way to get more friends on my roster which would be awesome since I only have one friend on it right now. Anyway! Here's my friend code:

068782
520105

If you want to add me you can either email me (probably the better way) or comment and hope I check this post for updates. Either way please leave your in-game nick, your friend code, and when yuo're generally on. Thanks!

I will write on a huge cement block "BY ACCEPTING THIS BRICK THROUGH YOUR WINDOW, YOU ACCEPT IT AS IS AND AGREE TO MY DISCLAIMER OF ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS WELL AS DISCLAIMERS OF ALL LIABILITY, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL, THAT MAY ARISE FROM THE INSTALLATION OF THIS BRICK INTO YOUR BUILDING."
And then hurl it through the window of a Sony officer
and run like hell

There are no words to describe how hard I was laughing.

Ok, now most of the people who know me should know I don't like holidays. After all they're more hype than anything else. Two years ago I wrote a post about Valentine's Day and I think I like it well enough to repost it.

But, now like Valentines Day, well, I'm not sure I like most days, why is Valentines Day any better than the rest? You can do all the same stuff any other day, why do we need Valentines day to remind us of who we love, shouldn't we not need a reminder? I know I don't. I mean if we love them enough then we should be able to say we love them any day, not just on Valentines, yes there are some people who might need a little nudge, so I guess it's for those people. The way I see it, in oh say like in the 10, 15 years it could turn into something like Christmas, or what Easter has turned into, and why should it become that when the main focus should be on the ones we love and not on the gifts your Boyfriend or Girlfriend gets you, yes they buy you things because they love you but why would you need to have someone say "You get to give your Girlfriend or Boyfriend something today, but not any other time", it's just not needed, I say if I want to give them something I'll just give it to them, I don't need any other reason other than that I love them.

That mostly sums up how I feel about Valentine's Day but I also feel, and this goes for many other holiday's as well, that there's too much expect of you. I mean what if you forget about it (not a particuarly easy thing to do but still) your "significant other" will probably feel that you don't love them as much or something and cause you to spontainously combust; hnd heck, even if you do give them something there's always the presure that it won't be fancy enough, or maybe even be too fancy for the relationship.

To me it jsut seems like too much pressure and added stress. Maybe I'll feel differently when I get older, maybe I won't, but one thing I intend to make sure to do is make my "significant other" feel special year round, not just on holdays.

RANDOM FACTS! YAY!

76 percent of relationships that are started on Valentine's Day will end before April.

More relationships end in the period from February 1st to Feburary 13th than any other time of the year.

Don't you worry one little bit, here are your 100 percent true facts for February 12th brought to you by Patrick, and a dozen other people

Ok, so recently I was catching up on my gullible.info and I read this:

The original Bob Barker was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1974.

I dunno about you but that's pretty freaky. It makes you wonder who's actually hosting one of the.... more interesting gameshows around today. I personally think it's a 20 year old that's weirding a plastic suit and a voice changer.
Anyway, that makes me wonder how many other things the universe is keeping for us. I mean come on, blackholes probably don't exist. That brings me to my next quote:

Since 1997, Brookhaven National Laboratory has been running a high energy particle physics experiment that has a 1 in 5000 chance of creating a small black hole that would consume the lab, Long Island and the Earth in a matter of moments.

So this means that the universe is telling the truth but what about the government!? If they're keeping that information from us maybe they're keeping more from us. And how much does it cost to make a black hole anyway?

The amount in taxes paid over a lifetime by the average US citizen is spent by the federal government in about 2.4 seconds.

From my estimates, assumeing a black hole takes 2 weeks to make(including gettings equipment)), about 500 thousand people's lives. So this means that in 2520000000 (2.5 billion

Only 43 percent of all U.S. adults can correctly distinguish between "one billion" and "one million."

) people that physics experement will destroy the Earth, and not to mention probably throw the Sol System out of balance and our colonys on Mars will be flung out into deep space. But wait, this just in! It doesn't matter anyway!

• The small Martian moon Phobos has a slowly decaying orbit and is expected to smash into Mars sometime in the early 22nd Century, complicating plans for future colonization.

Well since Mars will be flung into deep space in a few years anyway we don't really need to worry about that now do we? Nah, so in the time we have left we should also try something new, like this dude!

• Dr. Seuss’ famous children’s book “Green Eggs and Ham” was based off of a personal experience he had with friends at an Ethiopian restaurant in Boston. Seuss had refused to eat the unusual cuisine, despite his friends’ insistence that it was good. After a while of refusal his wife convinced him that he was being rude and should at least try the food. After that Seuss declared that Ethiopian food was his very favorite, and frequented the same restaurant regularly until his death.

Ethiopian food? Now come on, you can do better than that! It's probably not very healthy either.... You should sample another, healthier, kind of food before you obbsses over just one.

• Nutrition researchers found Cantonese food to be the healthiest and most balanced diet of any regional cuisine.

Cantonese? What the heck.... That sounds too eastern for me.... Though, it's probably not eastern enough for some people. I mean Cantonese is probably made is like.... Mongolia or something, anyway, for those people that like EASTern food, you're ruining their economy.

• Since its sweeping westernization, sushi has seen a sharp decrease of popularity in Japan.

SEE! GOSH! Watch, next you'll be stealing thire culture too, Jerks. I wouldn't really want it anyway. It's weird.

• Hindu demographers at the Kharagpur Institute of Technology warn that the expected increase in world population will lead to a shortage of souls by the year 2045.

Remember what I said about the black hole? Yeah, we'll all be dead by that point anyway, and not only that if we're not all dead they'll have too many souls to go around. So.... freaky Hindus. (no offence to the Indians, or other races, that read my blog.)

Ok so I'm randomly checking www.google.com/talk looking for updates to Google Talk and I see a link to www.Jabber.com and, like the Patrick I am, clicked it to find out what the heck they were talking about; not to mention anything Google endorses I generally like.

So I'm looking around, not understanding a ward of the "What is Jabber?" when in the client section I see.... Trillion Pro! (I don't endorse Trillion, it sucks anyway, there are much better Jabber clients that are free). It was then that I understood what Jabber was, or at least could do.

Anyway, for those of you who don't have a clue what I'm talking about Jabber allows you to use multi-protocol programs to log into multiple IM services at once, in one program. Which reduces clutter on your desktop, and on your CPU.

So anyway, there's a list of clients and as I'm looking through not really liking any of them since they're all not pretty looking (*coughAIMcough*) I see Gush. Gush looks a lot like a Mac, also runs sorta like one since you can't right click.

I'm hooked. So I download it, do what the post (click the link) says to do to log into Google Talk, and believe it or not, it works! Only one problem, how do I log into the other IM services, like AIM/ICQ, MSN, Yahoo!? (Yahoo is buggy, bewarned, it seems other clients have problems with it too) and alas, the FAQs don't help me at all either.

However, when I was randomly looking around on my @2entwine account (you sign in with your Gmail address but you can also sign in on 2entwine's server) trying to fix a problem with the Newsfeeds, I figured out my problem!

What you have to do is in the Gateway menu add the server "2entwine.net" to get access to their gateways. (However it can freak out and not show some so you have to refresh, sign up with any that are there, ect. to get them to show.) I know for a fact that MSN works, and will even import your contacts, but I've yet to try AIM really and I've only been able to logon with Yahoo! once, maybe twice.

The main point is that it proves the post (click the title) wrong about not being able to connect to other Gateways, which is cool!

Please refer to 2entwine.com for more information on Gush and also for downloads.


Oh, and before I end the post I would like to list a few of the super neat features Gush has.

• Virtual desktops. Gush is a selfcontained virtual desktop that the chat windows exist in. You can move them around like you would any other window and can also have up to 100 virtual desktops, and get this, each can have it's own background.
• Speaking of backgrounds! You can have a customized background, from a .jpg to a .swf (possibly more, I have to test more). Even cooler is the .swfs are usable. So you can have moives, games, just moving images, anything really, as your background. (I have Castle Defender as one of my backgrounds so I can fling people between conversations >=D)
• Another great features is Newsfeeds, you can link to RSS, Atom, and a few other feeds that will update at set intervals. This helps make Gush a centralized program for all your communication needs.

For a full list of features please check their Features List.

Welp, I think that's about it! Happy chatting!

You know, the cheese factory is really a great way to get the girls.  I know I got the best girl of my life you telling her about my cheese factory on Ragnarok Online.  The only problem is she is really a he, but that’s okay I love him all the same.

YAY! For practicing speech recognition. It’s really great fun but it can be really annoying.
