fin…

I’m fairly sure that I already used this title before but fuck it, one more try doesn’t hurt.

This blog shall be suspended indefinately. I won’t delete it, but shall keep it here in the hopes that someday I can look back and read up on past memories, something of a time capsule of sorts.

To let everyone know, I have a wonderful new promotion at my current job that bumped up my pay quite a bit, and I may be switching gears and starting a new *REAL* career as an IT Security Specialist, with whatever company will pay me the best salary and provide the best benefits. Really the sky’s the limit for me. Finished a ‘certification’ in IT Security, a nice certificate program I did through the local community college, and now I’m ready to kick ass!

I’ll be way too busy with r/l or WoW to update this stuff.
Unless I get several comments to this post from several people asking me to continue the blog, I won’t bother updating anymore.

So with that said, its been fun and I thank all my loyal readers, all 3 of you.
Fin…

to post or not to post…

I’ll keep it short.
On weekdays I work, 12 hours, then I come home, take care of the usual things, then relax and play WoW till I sleep.
On weekends I take care of the necessities, then I play WoW.

Why so much WoW?
Why bother with a video game?

Because I’m having fun. Fun I didn’t have while arguing and being bitched at by people over IM. Fun I didn’t have while having people hate me at the end of a 2+ hour-long convo about various things.
I love to talk as much as the next person but there’s only so much I can talk about. I just honestly can’t think of stuff to talk about sometimes, my life is just that boring. But what I *could* talk about that’s even mildly interesting would have the Feds bustin down my door and confiscating my computer. So no thanks, I like this thing. ^^

I’m doing raids on cities of the opposite faction. I’m midway in level and love taking on those of higher level and winning, its total bragging. =D
I even learn when I lose, what to do and not to do helps make me a better player.
I spend so much time being Guild Master of my guild and helping others that I’ve been stuck at level 45 for almost a month now. But I don’t mind, as I’m having fun.

I keep in touch with r/l friends and some online friends, but most people haven’t even bothered to send me an e-mail, and I really don’t want to waste time typing out an e-mail to someone to get back in touch only to receive no response at all. So I play WoW.

WoW-gasms rock ^^;

Anti-Elf Theme

This is hilarious. Much better then the ‘roflmao’ WoW-vid that a friend showed me a while ago.

Anti-Elf Theme

I play a Blood Elf and I used to play a Night Elf (before I got bored with that character). Still I find this song hilarious. ^_^

In other things, if you wanna know, e-mail me. If not, do what you wish.

some links…

Just some links.

How to ACE your university’s Chemistry Mid-Term Exam with aplomb!

Easiest way to ‘Jailbreak’ and Unlock your iPhone in 5 steps while giving AT&T the finger

BEST firewall to replace that crappy ZoneAlarm Free Edition that most people are using

Best Antivirus that’s so good that it can detect unknown Indonesian ‘autoload.exe’ viruses

Check for viruses/spyware on your computer BEFORE installing Antivirus or Firewall software, THEN install those things (and it supports Firefox!)

I never install any anti-spyware and just use TrendMicro’s Housecall, as I believe I can use Firefox and avoid spyware if I disable JavaScript when my sister is using MySpace (bleh!) or other dubious sites. I know a few people using ‘Opera’, and all I can say is that Opera isn’t as widely-supported as Firefox is. My custom version of Firefox can startup in under 10 seconds when I first open it after a cold-boot, and even faster if I already opened it that day. Search in the blog and you should find some (now outdated) linkage. Just go to the site and follow that general guide and you should be on your way to Firefox-y goodness!

Till then

extended haitus…

Hello everyone,

Its been almost a month since I last posted. What can I say? I’ve been very busy with things, not even available as often via IM or otherwise. My phone seems to be the best way to reach me. Now for some updates.

-Cell phone usage went ~20 something minutes over, it was my father who did it (I checked the bill, he used minutes each day even after we told him there weren’t anymore, in addition to making a $1.49 call to 411, when he has access to the internet at work). Naturally he wanted to blame everyone BUT himself for it, then very quietly paid the bill when it came (and damn yes I opened it before he did, since I pay half of it). I paid my usual price and he paid the rest, including those additional fees. Maybe that will teach him to check the damn minutes remaining before using the cell phone. So no more crap about cell phones, and I don’t have to switch providers until the contract expires. And he was threatening to cancel it, LOL. $250 in cancellation fees x 4 phones = $1K, not something you wanna spend for that, period.
So what that means for you who may be wondering why I put this here, this means that if you have my cell phone number, please do feel free to call me at work (after 2 PM). I’ve been waiting to hear from some of my lady-friends and miss talking to them.

-WoW ish teh aw3s0m! So yeah, I’m pretty much consuming an entire day of my weekend to WoW, spending the night partying at some club in DC (whichever one has a ‘Ladies Night’ that night, so that we have a much better chance of getting in, and the ratio of men to women being much more favorable to us), then waking up well past noon the next day. By the time I finish the stuff I should’ve done on Friday, my weekend is over. But damn if it isn’t fun. ^_^

-In WoW, I’ve moved to the WoWLegion server @ WoWscape.net. Very nice server, recently applied stability upgrade that reduces the DC’s and server crashes. You still gotta deal with them but it isn’t as bad as people claim it to be. Its like dealing with Windows ME (horribly buggy), then moving to Win98SE (semi-buggy), then upgrading to WinXP (what bugs?). We haven’t gotten to XP yet, but we’re getting there. Hope some of you understand this metaphor at least. ^^;
On there, my character is a level 29 (currently) female Blood Elf Paladin named Ayriana. I love the name, and I have a soft spot for how awesome the BE females look. Plus they got the Britney /dance emote! I’m the Guild Master of my Horde guild, Blood Ravens. We’ve got close to 100 people and continue to grow. I think we’ll max out at around 150 people, as I don’t want the guild to get way too large and unwieldy. I’ve stopped recruiting, letting the others recruit for a change. It seems that just running around and randomly inviting pre-level-10 newbies has been a successful strategy. People are kind, considerate, help each other, and its worked out much better then I ever hoped for, and then some. The guild banks were wiped clean with the recent ’stability’ update, which really sucked ass, but at least personal banks were left alone (thank god). Ok enough WoWgasms, lol.

-In non-WoW things, I may be getting a promotion at my job fairly soon, within the next 2-3 months, at most. If it takes longer then that I’ll be going ‘wtf?’. I’ve been doing pretty good, staying out of trouble (hard for a bad boy to stay outta trouble but I try), and just putting on a happy face while dealing with the stupidity of overpaid paper-pushers working for our ever-so-benevolent government of the good ‘ol USA. Whee…>> Big Brother is watching, so watch what you say, and never badmouth certain people or entities. Freedom of Speech is now an illusion….*cue Twilight Zone music*

-I’ve met some wonderful friends through various ‘meetups’ from meetup.com and even though its a bunch of strangers at first, if you choose your meetup carefully then you can find a lot of decently cool people even in this area.

That’s about it, I think that’s long enough.
Till then.

Basshunter…

I was given this link by a friend, and I’ve loved every song by this dude. He f-in rocks. The songs are really geeky/gaming related but he’s cool, and all the women in his videos are hot-ass Swedish babes! =D

I know the ladies will love Mr.Prettyboy also, I’m too busy drooling over his g/f….haha.

Basshunter Subtitled Music Videos

I’m gonna see if I can get the mp3s of these. ^^;

Enjoy!

CAD

New webcomic, tis my addition, very funny:

Control-Alt-Delete

And a funny quote, showing how computer geeks use pickup lines:

“Hey Baby, I’d like to defragment your hard drive, whattya say you come over and we’ll play ‘tech support’? I’ll show you my RAM if you show me your USB Port

Enjoy!

Indian Thriller…

I heard about this through a friend of mine, thought I’d share this with everyone. This is HILARIOUS, so ENJOY! ^_^

Indian parody of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’
If you want to know the lyrics, clicky

Apparently the song is officially called ‘Chiru Goli Mar’. The language of the video is Hindi, so I have no clue wtf he’s saying, but I only understand him saying ‘Goli Mar’ (which should be spelled ‘Golee Maar’, but that’s a bit of preference in romanization of a non-Western language). ‘Goli Mar’ means ’shoot a bullet’. Depending on context it can be translated as “shoot (name) with a bullet” or “kill them”, or so on. Also he’s saying ‘Killer’, not ‘Thriller’. Again obviously a parody and a very funny one. =D

T3 and BB

Somewhat cryptic, but oh so fun…

Tunak Tunak Tun lyrics
Tunak Tunak Tun music video w/translation (MUST SEE, hilarous!)

My thoughts:

Although I do understand about >50% or so of what was being said, I thought ‘birangi’ sounded like ‘farangi’, which is a completely different word. Also, the translation is good, but imperfect. The line ‘Dholna Kadeh Mere Nal Hass’ does NOT mean ‘Sweetheart, come smile with me sometimes’, a more accurate translation is ‘Sweetheart, come LAUGH with me sometimes’, because ‘Hass’ means ‘to laugh’. I also suspect that ‘Kadeh’ should be ‘Kabeh’, which would make more sense, since I don’t know what ‘Kadeh’ means but ‘Kabeh’ does mean ’sometimes’ or ‘anytime’, depending on context. And yes, I know about the language quite well, tyvm.

On the ‘BB’ note, that stands for ‘Bush Bashing’

George W. Bush’s office record

Is there any reason Bush is still in office? And why hasn’t our ‘Democratic’ Congress impeached him already? There was more furor over Clinton’s ‘Monica’ scandal then about Bush stealing the election. :P

thoughts…

Its been a while since I posted, so I’ll do some random non-WoW related stuff. But first…

-I’ve been playing WoW on and off, maybe a few times a week. I’m not as deeply into it as I was initially and this is due to me having priority more for other things. This is indeed good news of course. ^_^

-I’ve had a lot of time to think on the job, and managed to think of a nice semi-detailed plotline for a WoW-based fanfiction involving the very sex-filled and somewhat turbulant forbidden love between a young human male rogue and a young female blood elven paladin. Humans and blood elves are supposed to be hostile, according to the World of Warcraft, so this made for some interesting thoughts, and it helped pass the time. I’m debating whether or not to take the time to type out this fanfiction or my still-suspended Teen Titan fanfiction.

-I’m in the market for a home, but I’m having trouble getting a day off now (LoL). I used to have to beg for 5 days a week, and I just so happen to get it when I am in need of a day off! I need to take care of paperwork at the bank and various other things. I already know the area I want to move to and it has affordable homes and isn’t *too* far from work. Life is so fun…

-On a related note, my real estate agent is a bitch. I’m very seriously considering dumping her after dealing with her BS over the phone the other day. I can’t believe she’s got so many certifications and doesn’t know the f-in basics of how to talk to people respectfully! >_> I’m only putting up with her this long cause she’s one of the most well-certified people specializing in the area I’m looking for. Not many real estate agents even know about rural areas.

-I hate GAIM, and Pidgin. To anyone who uses either one of those programs successfully, you’ve done what my computer can’t do. Pidgin used to work fine, but the newest version f-in crashes and doesn’t load, it sucks ass. They broke it and won’t fix it. So I’m about to just switch to Miranda IM or something.

-I’ve cut off certain people from my life who were just doing nothing but causing misery and suffering for myself and others. Though it pains me to do such things, it has to be done. I’ll miss you greatly, S.

-I’ve thought of getting back in touch with some people that I’ve been out of touch with. I need to do a bit of consolidation and find out who is still accessible and who actually wants to rekindle the friendships. Only time will tell.

Till then
