My Kitchen-Magnet-Sized Beauteous Piece of Silicon and Metal Is Beastlier Than Yours!

I guarantee it– unless you’re a reader from a foreign land who has lots of moneys to be able to afford the Core 2 Quad, Extreme, or one of the better Phenoms. Even then, your compy isn’t beastlier by much (unless you have the Core 2 Extreme and/or SLI’d 8800 GT’s or GTX’s. Then it’s [...]

Walking Out the Fifty Year Old Door

Freedom.
Looking back at the old, gray door that, for the past two years, has been “opening, opening, letting in, letting in, [letting] out no more” as the cold, cutting wind whipped my hair about and blew the snow as mist off of the sagging roof, I felt an overwhelming feeling of freedom.
It was a day [...]

Conversation: SID and SOUL Unite Against the Powers of the Lock and Shift Keys

Gus: Kill it!
Jordan: *looks right and left* Where?! Where?!
Gus: -points to a seemingly empty chair-
There!
Jordan: *jumps into the chair and breaks it*
Gus: -large "Oof!" sound heard from chair and footsteps running away-
You let him get away!
Jordan: *gets up from the floor, rubbing rump* Ouch… sorry. I didn’t think he’d be that big.
Gus: -sighs-
Well, we have [...]

The Glass, As It Stands, Is Half-Full– Or Perhaps It Is All of the Way Full!

“President Hinkley has died.”
The words echoed around the chapel. It couldn’t have been true. He has always been there; he’s immortal; I never thought he’d die. But he has passed on into the rest of the Lord.
I was at a choral practice for a choir entitled Because We Sing. It is a men’s chorus. We [...]

The Sun Came!

You really ought to listen to the music to get the full effect, but this song, Here Comes the Sun written by the Beatles, really hits the spot! It fits right in my life, anyway.
 
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun, and I say it’s all right. Little [...]

Death

This isn’t meant to be a morbid or dark post.
I came home, entered my abode, strode into my room, laughed at two emails of hilarious natures, listened to Black Winged Metamorphosis (a track of music planned for use in The Book of Shadows Series), and left to my downstairs realm. There my family was watching [...]

Resign, Renounce, and Otherwise Quit

I feel powerful:
 
Dear Scott,
I am afraid that the time has come for me to end my employment with the Jordan School District. It is time for me to move on to greater things. I am sorry I did not notify you sooner, but I wasn’t sure whether or not I would have to quit, and [...]

Conversation: SID and SOUL Are Back

Two perfectly sane and honorable little boys with broad imaginations. Give them a random mood and ten minutes on Google Talk, and you get this:
(WARNING: Not for the faint of heart. Rated PG for holographic blood and enveloping fat bodies)
 
Gus: Soul.
Jordan: *nods* Sid.
Gus: -reaches beneath black trenchcoat-
Jordan: *shoves hand through black trenchcoat [...]

Welcome, CresceNet

Hmm! I was just looking through a previous post, and I noticed someone commented on my blog. A certain "CresceNet." I’m assuming you hail from the lands of NewEgg– or EggXpert, as it were– and you read my post there, liked it, Googled the title or the first paragraph or something, and found my little [...]

Another Bit of Genius–For Me or For You or Perhaps Both of Us, That Is Your Decision

Perhaps English taking another effect to me, or perhaps it’s something more inspiring, but I have thought of another tidbit of wise words I feel worthy to publish in this my public word-place:
Always be reading a good book, or be writing one.
It is a natural, greened path covered in winking sunlight and primroses that leads [...]

Captured Moment of Genius: A Quotable Quote

Though I am not genius, I feel I had a moment of it a moment ago, so before I forget, I’m going to share this knowledge with the vacuous ;) world:
Happiness is not a fleeting thing, if true.
Sometimes happiness comes to you easily, and sometimes you must find it.
Instead of expounding upon that principle, [...]

The Devil

Speak of the Devil!
I had a random thought– and I thought it was pretty genius, so I’m going to share it:
The Devil is like a nagging wife. No matter what, he’ll always be picking at you to do something that he wants you to do and you don’t.
Ha. Ha ha.
(Not all wives are that way, [...]

The Final Words ARE

Grammatical sin.
I said "THE LAST WORD IS: Happy Day," but I should have said, "THE LAST WORDS ARE: Happy Day," seeing as how Happy Day comprise a phrase; phrases are always made up of two or more words, therefore I cannot possibly say that those two words are one word.
Ooh… Caledonia– good song. It makes [...]

Who Needs Monitors or Illiterate Humans From EggXpert.com Anyway?

Firstly, I published my last post about the Mean Streak on one of the online places I sometimes “hang” around. www.eggxpert.com, Newegg’s sort of “helpsies” website for mainly computer hardware and software, also has a little niche wherein you can basically post whatever you want. So I did. The outcome wasn’t as enthusiastic as I [...]

Conversation: SID vs. SOUL

Gus: I’m not invisible. I am a germ. A rare disease.
Jordan: And I suppose you’re going to infect me?
Gus: I don’t have to. I’m like an advanced version of anthrax. Soul Ripper. I pull your soul out through your face and force feed it to you, after which I force you to blow chunks. Your [...]

Everyone Has a Mean Streak… and Then There Are Those Who Have a Nice Streak, Which Cause the Mean Streaks in Us "Nice People" to Be Accentuated

Perhaps the following is a reflection of how, as we told Kelly DeHaan the other day, I’m a nice person only to nice people, but to weavels I’m not very nice when they’re out of earshot.
I was writing in The Imaginations, and I randomly went off on a tangent. It won’t be included in the [...]

As Much as I Love Intel, My New Compy Will Be AMD-Based

I used to think that the EVGA GeForce 7300 and the EVGA GeForce 7800 GS were beefy… HA. The GS is the beefiest graphics card available for my current computer– or just about there, anyway. However, the EVGA 8800 Ultra Super Super Clocked is THE BEST. Too bad that they go for… oh, up to [...]
