Dawn of the Dead

I have one one word for this movie — ” WOW”

One of the most suspenseful horror / supernatural movie I have seen since ‘The Ring’

I HIGHLY recommend going to see it in the theatre for the full effect. My heart was racing even 10 mins after I left the theatre and I kept looking around while driving home to make sure nothing was coming towards me, it’s THAT good.

TGIF

woo hoo, it’s Friday! Haven’t updated in a few days,mainly because nothing note-worthy has happened to me. This weekend I am wrapping up the end of the quarter, and finals will be finally over. I am taking next quarter off to handle the things going on at home, unless Nova is offering any CAD classes, because I am only 2 classes from getting my CAD certification. But yeah that’s about it 🙂

feeling better

It totally made my day, when my friend was ranting about “passion” and starts by saying ..”remember that simpsons episode where homer helps mel gibson remake “mr smith goes to washington”…

:(

well yesterday I went in for that BIG job interview. I got wind today they may have been fakin the funk..well not really ,it is more a combo of them not being able to afford me and the catch 22 of government contracting.

I am going on 12 years exp in the IT work, as of April. So they assumed I had a college degree..well they were wrong. Though I have been working slowly but surely on it since 96,lol. In the computer world I have never had to worry about not having a degree since they payed me for my ‘skillz’. So that cause a minor snafu when they were trying to figure out what to offer and noticed my degree said “in progress” on my resume,lol. I think they are going offer about 10k more then I make now instead of the initial 20k, but it’s not worth it. After taxes its only like 8k a year then throw in a completly different work environment (I work at a reasearch facility,so there is tons of free exchange of info to learn about like seminars of nanotech, robotics, AI, infosec , not too mention even the dept head wears jeans to work everyday. Where as I’d be going to a consulting firm with more stress, 2x as much work, mind you still cool stuff to work on, but I don’t think it’d be an even trade. I am happy where I am at, and with a high school degree and a few yrs of college earn more then many of my friends parents, so I should be gratefull and not so quick to try to get back to six figures again, as lnog as I do it by 30 I can still afford my lake house in Austin,lol

funniest virus attempt I’ve seen yet

For the people who don’t already know and what makes this so funny is that I do work for Nykon Systems, BUT here’s the kicker. I own the company,lol and the servers sit about 10 feet away from me right now as I post this in LJ. So either it is an attempt to give me a virus..or my computer is now trying to manage itself,lol..though it that were the case “support” probably would have complained about the downloaded porn too,lol.

Well after writing and researching for my book I came across this and figured it appropriate.

What do you think, should this be my new friendster profile? lol

What Would Your Serial Killer Name Be? What Would the Public Know You As?” – Results:

dddd
Who are you? No one would even know your name or
who you are. No one may even know what you
really look like. You would be known by a
series of names since you would go under many
aliases and have a number of disguises. You are
very clever and creative, and would almost
always be one step ahead of the authorities.
You would make sure no evidence of your
horrible murders would be left behind, and if
it is, no one would know it was you. You
sneaky, elusive person…authorities would have
hard time trying to catch you. You would
definitely be the mystery criminal. People may
not even know the your killings are all from
you. You would really be a threat to the
public.

Friday Funnies

Buttercups

Toward the end of the golf course, Harry somehow managed to hit his
ball into the woods finding it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups.

Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about
every buttercup in the patch.

All of a sudden, POOF!, in a flash and puff of smoke, a little old
woman appeared. She said, “I’m Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me
to make those buttercups?

Just for that, you won’t have any butter for your popcorn the rest of
your life; better still; you won’t have any butter for your toast for the
rest of your life….. as a matter of fact, you won’t have any butter for
anything the rest of your life!” THEN POOF!….she was gone.

After Harry got a hold of himself, he hollered for his friend, Fred.
“Fred, where are you?”

Fred yells back, “I’m over here, in the Pussywillows.”

Harry yells back……”DON’T SWING FRED!!!” “For God sake, DON’T
SWING!!”

Adopt a senior citizen program

So I have been socially challenged in the last year and need some fun.

I have a free schedule this weekend, anyone know of anything going on? want to come kidnap me for drunken shenanigans?

Why you should:

1> I’m smarter then the average bear
2> i’m fun
3> I’m witty (well okay maybe not)
4> I put out on the first date… lol j/k 😉
5> Even old people need <3 too

*blink*

I had the wierdest thing happen to me.

I went downstairs to get a candy bar out of the snack machine

I put a dollar in

Selected the bar

The candy bar fell into the tray

AND THEN…

the display beeped and displayed the text ‘WINNER’

and my dollar bill popped back out

zig heil! Heil Fuhror Bush

In an act reminiscent of 1960 anti-civil rights acts, and bordering on early 1940s Germany. Bush announced he wishes not only to ban gay marriage but make gay marriages unconstitutional. In the year 2004 you would think that people in general would not sit around and let this blatant abuse of power even get this far. What happened to separation of church and state? When was marriage EVER about a man and a woman coming together. The principle of marriage has always been about 2 people who love each other joining together to spend the rest of their life together. If 2 people love each other,who is the US or state to tell them no. 30 years ago, many places wouldn’t let a white person and a black person get married and it was accepted, but did that make it right? NO! Eventually the US came to it’s senses. Are we going to make the same mistake just because they feel uncomfortable about the homosexual lifestyle? This is no more then just good old fasioned bigitry. By allowing the Bush administration to even consider doing this and thinking it is okay makes me think we might as well just put wheels on the white house and put air force one on blocks in the front yard, because it makes the US no better then common white trash. Even reading the article makes me ashamed to be an American. More people need to contact their local representatives to let them know, and to let the national gov’t know we will not stand for such bigited thinking. Times do change, if these right wing neo-conservatives, think they can just bribe congress to help themselves sleep at night because of their own issues not understand or being compfortable with the US homosexual community.

You can sign the protest at http://www.ipetitions.com/campaigns/votepledge/

I urge everyone to not allow the government to over step its power in trying to tell america what is right and wrong. Even if you personally do not support gay marriage, at least acknowledge that making it illegal is not the answer.

To add perspective,on my background, I am writing this as a straight, married, white republican male. So as I am not directly effected by this ruling, I do see the parallels between this and the civil rights movement and do not believe anyone should be denied rights (i.e.-marriage) based off sex, background or color of their skin.

I love you, you love me…

for you control freaks ;)

This is so stupid, but true… And it’s going to drive you crazy, especially if you’re under the illusion that you’re in control!

While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles. Easy enough?

Okay now, while doing this, draw the number “6” in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will change direction and there’s nothing you can do about it!

Computer Viruses

My friends computer at work got one of the new email worms going around. I was trying to explain to him why using Windows and Outlook was such a bad thing. This was my not-so-technical explanation of why,lol

“MS Outlook is basically like the sorority girl at the party after 4 hrs of drinking going ‘maaaan I am sooooooo drunk’ to the football team,basically the next hour she is going to be probed for any way to penetrate her…. *poof* we have the digital version, outlook “

Job related question.

to my brothers and sisters in the IT field..but anyone who wishes to answer:) I have a dilema in front of me, and need a voice of reason,lol

Q: Which do you think is better? a average paced job in an environment you like, or making $15k more a yr, in a place that wouldnt be bad just not as ideal and you’d be working your butt off?
