Burn

Ok, so I’m sitting here, it’s about two ish and writing. Listening to launch@yahoo.com. Good stuff. I’m in a pair of jeans shorts with everything else in the wash. Lol, it’s snowing outside, I’m freezing but I suppose that’s the sacrifice one makes to have clean clothes. No? Hmm, maybe I should do it before I run completly out of clothes! Whenever somebody dresses up at school really nice we always tease "Hey is it laundry time?!" hehe. I thought it was funny anyways.

Speaking of funny. Jessica Simpson just came on with this "With You" song. Beautiful she is but whenever I think about the size of her brain I realise I’d rather have a conversation with a rock. Beauty is completly lost. Lol, she has a platter full of buffalo wings in the video. Clever ..

-shivers- I suppose it doesn’t help any that I’m drinking ice water. Just the thought of the ice makes me shiver. It is snowing outside. Grrrr. Two days ago I was wearing suntan lotion. What’s with this? Craziness. Oh well. I do like denver though. The weather sports and weird people ..

Oh I don’t think I mentioned this but I went to Wal-Greens the other day to pick up some supplies and this cashier lady, probably mid-twenties asked me if I was watching the Colorado Avalanche vs San Jose series. I said "Nope, not enough time to watch the series" probably about fifty times! So are you an avalanche fan? "No, New York". Well I am a San Jose fan and I can’t wait until they beat the Avalanche. Ummmm, ok lady I said I didnt care who won and that I didn’t even know who what when they were playing. Lol, it was halarious. I kind of just looked at her and was like "Here’s your sign ..".

Bummer dude. Burn by Usher just came on. This song has really grown on me. I really do like it. I’m not sure if I like it more for the lyrical content or the actual beat. I don’t know. This song somewhat takes a little out of me though each time I hear it. That’s ok though, I’ll hopefully find papa roach next. :)

take care all,

Sorry I’ve been away

Ok, so I’m sorry that I’ve been away. I’ve been too busy as of latley! With school and work and all. Oh yea, and of course my new found freedom in video games. Right now I’m playing splinter cell pandora tommorow. Awesome game. Even cooler with my computer. I benchmarked my computer to alot of people I know on the web and basically swepted the floor with them. It is a good feeling finally completing a project. I finally got everything together today. My ram came in so my computer is complete! Of course I’m borroing My roomate’s 19inch monitor but I’m still shopping for a monitor. Then next comes the fun stuff…

I want to get some speakers. BIG speakers, "speakers so big it blows the ladies clothes off". Hehe .. that was taken from the movie the Italian Job. Good Movie. Anywho .. I finally finished and it is a good sigh of relief. It’s been a long project coming. I realise I said I was finished a few days ago after I got my video card but today I got my ram. My COMPUTER is complete! So anywho, right now I’ve got my really elite headphones that are wicked but I still want some speakers. Also other good news when it comes to my computer, I tried to burn a cd the other day and it took forever! Watching grass grow, paint dry, mold grow and of course the sun rise and fall, it took forever. Catching my drift? Hopefully .. I’m laying it on pretty thick. Anywho .. Today I downloaded some freeware cd burning software and WHOLA! I was like this is more like it! I have a 48x speed CD-RW and it was going about 2x. -HUGE SMILE- Everything is so perfect.

Well in regards to school. I am so happy to go in to class everyday, well .. let me rephrase that. I hate going to my silly gen-ed classes at 9 in the morning. I also dislike the fact that I have to go at 9 in the morning. OOppps. I’ve already stated that :) But we are working with DirectX9 and I’ve got some awesome stuff brewing. Right now I’ve got a guy moving through a maze 3D wise. But the neat thing is I actually code/understand and absorb everything that is going on. It makes so much sense to me. I think today everything "CLICKED" and the flood gates opened. I cannot wait until we get to code some more and also I can’t wait until our 410 classes. Where we have a senior project to just code, code and more code. -shakes- I’m getting goosebumps just thinking about it. I don’t know how to explain it. Just to get a concept and to actually understand it is one thing, but to be waiting for 6+ years I’ve actually felt like I’ve accomplished something. Cheesy I know but still .. It’s a good feeling nonethe less, and to have a computer that can keep up tremendously with my needs oh yes, that my fanclub is SHIBBY. HA!

I havn’t felt this good in a while actually. Toay I went to get a haircut and the lady that trimmed my hair was gorgous. It lasted a while, not because I was hitting on her but because she was very smart and she also had Hodgkins. We talked for a good half hour and it was actually somewhat relaxing. It’s not every day I get to talk to cancer survivors. Sure my roomates and I talk about it all the time but it’s honestly not the same as talking to someone who’s actually been through it. Actually had a broviach(sp?), radiation, chemo, catscans, the incredible feat of drinking gallons of barium. Oh yes, we had a good laugh about that. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only hypocondriac(sp?) that’s alive. "I got cancer, but you only stubbed your toe!" Rodney Carrington. HAHA, but it was good.

I also bought this supercool lamp. It looks like something out of a robot facility but it actually lights up incredibly bright and of course I still have my lava lamp. I’ve also bought something that I might as well didn’t know existed. A power strip. Awesome invention and major kudos go to the creator. I no longer have coords strung all over to get to power. I’ve got it all in the same strip, nice and neatly put under my feat. What else … oh yes, I bought some pretty horrible mints today. Altoids. Peppermints. Yuck. I think I will stick to my Ice Breakers. I suck on those things religously. I’m worried about my breathe/teeth. But today I did alot of other things too. betsie, I washed her, I DESPERARTLY(sp?) need to clean out the inside, outside though, beautiful! She cleans up so nicely!

-sighs- Good times good times .. So I’m off, I need to get going and of course play some more video games. It’s been long overdue! Take care all,

Just some things to think about

So your probably sitting behind your computer thinking, gee "kc, how did you fair so well during your interviews?". Well let me explain a few of my special tips. I won’t be giving them all out becuase I am going to be developing a book with these super fabulous tips.

TIP #1
Make sure you drink plenty of soda water and gaterade before your interview. That way if your nervous you can actually concentrate on leaving, going to the bathroom. That’s what I did. I had a couple gallons of water so that way when I was sitting there being patient and calm, I was actually thinking about the urge to urinate. Classic.

TIP #2
NEVER BRING A PEN. That way when you get to the interview and you ask for a pen you will get one of two responses.
response a.) "That’s not very responsible of you, your not making a good showing thus far". Ok, so with a response to this who would want a boss like this, even if the pay is good, life would be miserable.

response b.) "We are all human, heres a pen". SHIBBY. Supercool boss. Hopefully you followed tip #1 so that way your not so nervious of acquiring this super cool job.

Coming soon to book stores near you….

So check this out ..

Alright, so I get into work on Thursday and I beileved it to be a regular day. NOT!!!

Whatever happens …

What ever happens in my life in say the next 8 hours, I am very proud of myself, I’ll write more in a bit ..
