Bubble Gum

So not only is my Betsie girl so fresh and so clean, she also smells like bubble gum on the outside and vanilla on the inside. It’s so cool, I found a new place to go pretty close to where I live to get her washed at. I have my bucket with everything I use to wash her in and when I started to spray the soap it smelt somewhat funny. Bubble Gum. Hehe, it kind of made me laugh just the way it smelt so incredibly bad and tasty at the same time. Oh well.

My car was was prompted by two things.

First I took the day off today from work. I had 3 days off. It was so incredibly nice and also it wasn’t planned. I’ve been sick actually for the past 3 days and today was somewhat of my recovery day. 3 good nights of sleep and I’m feeling much better. I’ve had severe coughing fits, sore throats and stomach aches. It’s been somewhat of a rough time for me and it didn’t help I didn’t get any sleep the night before my final exams. I think I did pretty good on all of them and I’m happy with whatever grade I get because I know I couldn’t have worked harder. In my Algorithims class I know I got an A, I passed all of my quizzes with A’s except for one which was pretty hard. I had to code kruskals using my own linked list. Me and pointers do not go well together. I’m all about the STL but if you don’t understand any of that then just remember, NEITHER DO I! Ha, just kidding it makes perfect sense however I do apologise, I went off track. Well actually while I’m off track, let me tell you that my second final exam was a project to open a child day care center. The team I was working with turned out 13+ pages of data and I realised then and there I was a programmer. Why you ask? I started the table of contents with a 0 instead of a 1! Lol, I know I know. For those non-programmers here it is in english. 9 out of 10 things delt with start with 0 instead of 1. Anyways … That second project where we had to start our own daycare facility was a nighmare(more on this in a bit) and I’m confidant that 3 single non-father type males accomplished it to satisfactory. I’m somewhat worried that I’ll get a B in that class because all of my tests were not up to par which all were justifiably debatable. Anywho … my last class was my Trig class. I’m confidant I got the usual. 96%. My instructor calls me mr consistant. I’ve never gotten the golden pencil or a silver pencil which are items given out to the top students in the class due to test grades however I usually average out better then all of them anyways becuase they usually fail one or two tests. I’m tired of 96%. I’m called mr consistant because out of the 4 math classes I’ve taken with this same instructor that’s all I’ve ever gotten on all, yes all, of his tests. No more, no less. I honestly cannot win but we’ll see when grades post.

So getting back to the day care thing. I don’t know what it was but man I hated that project. Was it becuase I royally dislike kids? Probably.

For those that don’t know I don’t like kids. Loud, very loud … expensive, overly cuddly little humans that, beileve it or not crave 150% attention from an individual. That’s a whopping 40% more then me! I know I know but it’s the truth. I’m just not a big fan and for some reason I think kids know this. I’m the only one out of the group of guys that I know seriously dislikes kids and yet when we are at Burger King or out someplace that has kids crawling all over the place, I will literally go hide in a corner and they will still come and want to play with me, nobody else but with me. Like dogs that can smell fear kids can smell dislike. I dont’ know what it is. I’m just not into them. If I ever do find the girl of my dreams she’d have to understand it may be quite some time, if ever, that I’d ever consider having them.

So as luck would have it, it’s well …. bad. I was having my sneezing fits and I stepped on a box that my roomate left in the hallway that was remaining from his computer. I tripped, fell, landed against one of those "V" type doors. The ones that fold in and out and this had folded in, and where it did pinched my skin. Gone, all gone …

My shoes weren’t made for running like I was normally used to, so I stupidly ran without socks … blisters now and where healthy skin once existed. Gone … all gone. Now there are blisters there now.

Incubus concert I was dying to see. I was at work. Go figure …

Ha! Sometimes I just sit back and laugh and say, you know what? There will be another time. My time. My time is coming…

Who knows, it may be tommorow, maybe 3 years from now or it may be when I get abducted by an alien.

Intresting how I stumbled upon that alien bit. I almost forgot. I joined a project called the seti project. It’s pretty neat and for those of you that do not know what it is I’ll explain, or at least try to.

Well it’s a program that some wise guys up at berkley college created. It takes data collected from arecibo radio observatory which is one of the worlds largest radio telescopes located in puerto rico. This software is a "screen saver" meaning it only runs when you are not using your computer and what it does is it takes this information and analyzes it for extra terrestial lifeforms and other forms of communication. It’s an intresting project and for those of you who’d like more go to the seti homepage at http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/.

I should be going. I’m getting tired.
