coffee card, wired wednesday

Okay, so I go in to get some coffee at the perk the other day [which is absolutely not unusual :-P] and I go to get my coffee card. This time, it’s there. So I get it out, and as I’m looking at it, some sweet soul wrote me a little note on my card. That makes me feel so good … it almost goes back to message-carrying-pigeon days … but yea, someone wrote me a little hello on there, and it just made me feel good. Can’t really explain it.

Went out last night … played a round of LQ with James and Dave, and thoroughly got ass reamed. blah. Then we met up with Tony over at Wired Wednesdays, located @ Party Zone. The music was kickin ass, and there were a lot of hotties, but James brought a harsh realization to bare :: sub-21 chicks are not looking for anything. They don’t go out to a club with any intention other than hanging out with their girlfriends, then going home and having a slumber party. I mean … trying to find a woman among all the girls [especially with me being 19] is completely pointless. I’m thinking I’ll start hitting on 25+ year old women and see where that gets me. Probably not far, but hey, it’s worth a shot.

In other news, I am in the process of landing a web design contract :: proposing a bid of $9k in an e-mail right now; we’ll see how the buyer takes it and hopefully [!!!] get it. That would be awesome.

Oh! Another thing. First off strawberry-rhubarb pie rocks!!! and second off, hash browns topped with a country gravy / sausage mix is just fucking unbeatable. yummmm ๐Ÿ˜€

Geekpadite Update: OMG a double header!!! Two juicy things today. Through the grapevine, I heard that the Craigmeister quit his job at VoiceStream. I don’t know why, but I saw that one coming a mile away :: at least he struggled through the shitty jobness longer than I did. And another thing! Apparently Tim is moving out of TheGeekPad. That kinda sucks, cuz I probably won’t see him much anymore. Hrm. He has AIM though, so not all is lost ๐Ÿ˜€

2001-11-16 00:29:09 – Siaokh
Yes, yes… It’s true, I am moving out of the geekpad. A new place, closer to work… rent is slightly cheaper and the place has a hot tub… w00t. I’ll definatley still be around to pester and annoy everyonee… you think you can get rid of me so easily? HAH! I’m already in the process of building a computer to act as a file server for the new place, and plans of networking the house are dancing in my head like sugar plums or something. t’ll still have a geeks touch with a party atmosphere. But enough rambling, it’s time for bed. Damn the early work of corporate america. And if you brag to me about going to the digweed /sasha concert…. i’ll wash your eyes out with turpentine! (have fun at the concert whom ever got tickets… lemme know if there are still some available… i kinda wanna go, but lack the motivation to purchase tickets). -Tim

going to see warren miller’s cold fusion tonight, get some free passes and shite… see some fine snow bunnies, although without the cold, not as pointy, likesay… get to see these wierd ass twins from wisconsin or something doing their yearly video of skiing down a makeshift ski jump… later
2001-11-17 02:09:18 – el nino y dos gardenies
so, went to see warren miller’s 52nd movie. it was the bomb. definitely fuel for my snowboarding fire. i decided i’m not going snowboarding this weekend, but probably mountain biking, and then it’s on to the sasha digweed show with randal y mike. after that, it’s off to sunny texas for 5-6 days of gorging myself on food sex and alcohol. provided by my grandmother. well, not the sex at least. I’m probably gonna hit up some deposits up in dallas i’ve been saving for a rainy day. tracy, mandy, natalie, and this fine ass chick amanda. tell you all about it when i get back. here’s to a fine ass time at the concert!

sunday night ramblings

So it’s Sunday night, and it has been a rather uneventful weekend. I don’t think I did anything friday night. I don’t remember … too much blurs together now. Saturday, though, I met up with Tim and went and saw “Heist” … decent movie, but I’d wait for it to come out on video. Supposedly Sasha & Digweed are coming to town on the 17th, so I need to buy some tickets for that. I also need to buy those Oakenfold tix from Matt. And I need to grab ahold of Tore, who doesn’t respond to e-mail and isn’t on aim, to figure out the thanksgiving trip schedule :: I’m going down there to pick him up. If anyone wants to go, lemme know.

On another note, it feels like things are just blah now. Life is going well, I make enough money, I have a few decent friends, I’m generally pleased, but it just seems like I’m missing something. No, it’s not god, so don’t say it. I’m just missing the special something that puts a sparkle in my eye, the levity in my step. Maybe it’s the whole downer-ness that’s been running around, what with Burnz’ terrible dilemma’s, my continued self-beatings, the never-ending battle of [unsuccessfully] crossing social classes … sometimes it all just gets boring. No, not boring. Rather, it all gets kind of stale. It’s not enjoyable, it’s not fun, it’s not rewarding. It’s sad :: I *like* to work 14 hours a day, because it’s one of the few things I enjoy. I just need that something, and I don’t know what it is.

Finally, I want to take a few lines and sincerely thank all of the people who have sacrificed themselves on the altar of freedom :: be it from laboring in the armed forces to giving up their lives for my peace of mind, the veterans of the United States of America are symbolic of the core that drives this nation. My deepest gratitude and undying respect flow forth not only today, but every day. I would hope that all people, despite their political leanings, agendas or personal philosophies, would recognize the astounding accomplishments that the heros of this country have made.

I don’t really consider myself part of the defense effort for having worked at a defense contractor, but let me just say this… Cleaning Classified email attachments off servers from when dumbshits send them accidentally is a big pain in the ass.
2001-11-12 03:48:46 – LikwidNyte
Laura and I worked with a defense contractor. We made sure that manuals that satellite operators and so fourth were more pople friendly. That way, if there was a big problem, people would be able to access information quicker. So, basically, Laura and I saved your lives! oh, and Randal, I’ll be home next Sat, so that will probably be the easiest. If it’s possible, I’d love to meet you sometime that day (though, I don’t know what hours yet I’ll be working) so I can get that money deposited. As of now, I don’t know if you sent something whether or not it would get up here before I left for break because our post offices have been closed for a faux anthrax scare, and will be opened when things have gotten run through!!! aniwaise, that’s that…thanks for the Episode II trailer.
2001-11-12 08:45:03 – The Disco X
Matt, you worked at honeywell too? And I actually was a sattelite operator :p
2001-11-12 16:57:55 – satellite
not sattelite, but satellite
2001-11-12 21:09:32 – The Disco X
You obviously don’t know that much about SATTELITE communications if you don’t know about that old joke, so piss off you anal retentive fucko. I was seeing if Laura and Matt knew enough about it to recognize that.
2001-11-13 02:54:21 – Laura
i learned how to spell satellite from dave matthews band… and most ten year olds know how to spell it too. not a very funny joke, if that’s what it was.
2001-11-13 07:52:43 – batmanuel
James. Please. Enlighten us as to the connotation of your joke? Also, this just in. Grand Theft Auto 3 is the most addictive game that has ever graced the surface of my retinas. My cones and rods pulsate with sleep-deprived goodness every time I grab a big-ass vehicle and pursue my objet’s desire with vigor and passion. Hence, I kill things with a city bus and get the fbi to come after me. There really is nothing like shooting down police helicopters with a bazooka (At least in fantasy land alright, because I would NEVER condone anything like that in real life. . . THAT IS CROSSING THE LINE, I AM NOT FOR SHOOTING DONE PLANES WITH BAZOOKAS) Also, Computer Science class licks the ugly gash!
2001-11-13 09:52:08 – The Disco X
If your going to post something, at least have the balls to let us know who you are, so that I can beat the crap out of you when I see you if you piss me off. And Laura, Matt, if you were manual people, then you should know about the first 3 editions of DISA Circular 800-1?
2001-11-13 10:57:02 – Laura (speaking for laura and matt)
no, we shouldn’t, because we don’t care. we just made lots of money and took long lunches. the end. and, apparently, you actually have no idea how to spell satellite. gay dance music rocks!
2001-11-13 12:10:28 – The Disco X
Okay, I’ll tell you, it’s an old joke amongst people who work in satellite (yes I know who to fucking spell it) communciations and network control. The first three editions of DISA circular 800-1 (commonly refered to as the SATCOM Bible) spelled satellite as sattelite. So now over teletype or computer orderwire communications, it’s type out as sattelite. That field has a lot of eccentric people in it, like me for one. What kind of a loser goes around to message boards and corrects other peoples spelling?
2001-11-13 15:20:08 – Burnz
In answer to that Disco, Tore and Randal. Get real lives…I love acting like I have room to talk.
2001-11-14 01:15:07 – realbighead
hey now, I forum lurk to be contentious, too; it’s not just grammar.
2001-11-14 04:22:45 – vehicular homicide
alright, for those of you that do not know there is this game out called grand theft auto 3, and unfortunately for those of us without jobs and little time at school, this presents a very addictive situation… hi, my name is ‘vehicular homicide’ and i’m a grand theft auto addict. sniff
2001-11-14 09:30:31 – realbighead
this guy’s like 1 part craig and 2 parts 12-year-old…oh wait, that’s just 3 parts craig. oops. How did I manage to turn the new guy into an insult against Craig…
2001-11-14 10:49:18 – Burnz
I don’t think he is new. I think he is Tony. If he isn’t, then I win the insult game, because you just can’t get lower than Tony and still be likening them to any vertebrate.
2001-11-14 11:07:56 – The Disco X
Good thing he hasn’t identified himself if he is tony, tony is on the verge of deserving a beating himself, can’t quite remember why though.
2001-11-14 12:42:50 – realbighead
tony’s a vertebrate? I thought hobbits had exoskeletons…
2001-11-14 17:15:37 – protozoa
yo! why you all gotta be dissing the invertebrates!
2001-11-14 17:52:44 – Burnz
Tore, you are thinking of women, not hobbits. Hobbits indeed have a notocord and thus rank as the lowest form of semi-upright spine containmented thingys, you know?
2001-11-15 02:05:04 – Laura
i REpreSENT that comment…hehe. the last time i looked, there was no exoskeleton. i’ll look again.

misc & spam

So this morning [friday] was one of those “reminisce-and-hate-myself but realize-that-life-goes-on” mornings … hit me really bad while I was taking a shower. I hate it when that happens.In general I mean … the shower is immaterial ๐Ÿ˜‰ I am noticing, however, that they happen less and less — A Good Thing I suppose.

I didn’t go to Denver today. I am so glad. Too much of goddamn Denver recently … I mean, it’s a happening place, and it’s always fun, but it’s so far away, and the driving and the gogogogogo … sometimes it’s just too much. I might go up there tomorrow and spend saturday and sunday. not a bad idea … hrmm …

Do you know someone who needs reliable winter transportation that will last a long time but doesn’t look so hot? Well, if you do, point them to me :: I have a white 1982 Toyota 4×4 for sale. ~25k on a *new* motor, less 10k on a new tranny … extremely well maintained. Asking $3.5k, negotiable — 964.4504 or e-mail me. Thanks.

Can you believe that I recieved 73 pieces of spam from friday, 12:01am until friday 11:59pm!? That’s fucking rediculous. Seriously, I have wasted just over 85 *MB* of disk space on spam. That’s a lot of goddamn bullshit e-mail. Sure, I have it set up so that all the spam is auto-redirected straight to the trash, but jesus, that’s a lot of wasted bandwidth and time. I am really considering just filtering out whole domains … it’s fucking whack … I should just Shut That Shit Down (new catch phrase :-D)

Update: There is a new Starwars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones trailer running around on the internet, which I handily snagged — it is available right here: rand0m.org/misc/ep2_mysterydvd_480.mov :: 12.8MB. I haven’t seen it yet, though, cuz I’m on dial-up :: enjoy! Tonight I’m gonna go see “Heist” after chilling at the perk. ‘night

2001-11-10 02:02:49 – Laura
The Rules of Romance, according to Laura 1. Don’t sleep with James or Dave, ever 2. Don’t sleep with most people in Colorado Springs 3. Removal of clothing does not = foreplay and better not make me want to thorw up 4. You better let me be done before you. Let’s just leave it at that. this may explain their lack of long term relationships….and thus bitching. also, to add to the incubusness. they didn’t come out and sign anything, but when i went backstage, i saw no doubt just chillin, it was cool as hell. they’re all so hot!
2001-11-10 02:29:45 – The Disco X
Try getting a sense of humor laura, it would do you well, and might contribute to a guy sleeping with you because he genuinely liked you, instead of because you were there and willing. And I have never had a lack of long term relationship when I wanted it. My last two have actually bveen ruined by the female in question, mainly because 95% of women are flaky. I’m usually lucky and get the stable ones, but not always.
2001-11-10 02:31:59 – The Disco X
Darnit randall, when are you gonna do the edit thing, that came out a lot more bitter than I intended.
2001-11-10 10:57:34 – rand0m
sorry … the authentication thing was buggy as fuck … I’m rewriting it, so comment editing will be back [sometime]. And I like the whole ‘shutting down’ thing … it just … I don’t know, makes me feel powerful ๐Ÿ˜‰ hahahahaha … sOo, what’s everyone up to this fine saturday?
2001-11-10 15:08:21 – The Disco X
And laura, who says I would sleep with you? As soon as I get mine, I’m taking off to sleep in my own bed, not the sleazy hotel you suggested.
2001-11-10 15:55:01 – tony
i am hungover in alamosa i would sleep with laura, only, i’m not kermit or craig james, teach me kendo randal, shut that shit down janelle, stop work, enjoy high school annie, stop the smack craig, you snowboarding? steve, you lucky bastard cosmosmoon, first name? tore, break down, and buy randal’s truck mike, tony has sasha ticket, you should go! spammers, fuck off

s’okay, I had a wonderful time working in the computer lab instead…..

concert, today

So I went to the Incubus concert last night with Laura, who was sick. We loaded up all her shit into my car, and drove down there … before that, though, I had been informed that there might not be two tickets. So … we got there and found some peepz selling their’s, so we bought 2, and then sold one to some guy [who was “hottt”]. Went into the concert and it was hoppin. The band was really good … the lead guy can really sing, the one guitar guy had big-ass hair, and the mixing guy was the shit. The whole night, though, all I heard was “look at him, no shirt, he’s sOooOooo hot!” … all the teeny-boppers were going goddamn nuts over the singer guy. To each their own … I just went crazy over all the chicks ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anywho, Laura and I chilled up in the front pit for like 25 minutes, but then I had enough, cuz it was fucking brutal … people getting knocked down and stepped on, beat up, crowd surfers falling on their heads … I headbutted Samantha Grabowski [teh grabbar! (inside joke)] … she was there, but she didn’t recognize me. Laura and I talked to her in the back for a while … she completely ignored me cuz … well, I’m me … Laura went back up to the front, and I chilled in the middle. It was fun, but Incubus isn’t my type of music … I think the Orbital concert fit me a lot better than this one. I’m really glad I went though :: I had a great time ๐Ÿ˜€

2001-11-09 12:58:22 – The Disco X
Isn’t that the redhead you were drooling over when you were in high school?
2001-11-09 14:01:13 – rand0m
nope … Samantha Garrett was not a redhead, and I only drooled over her for a while. The Grabbar is a 5’2" wanna-be-hippy chick who thinks she’s really smart but isn’t, and consequently has a massive arrogancy complex.

if you liked orbital, you should go to: -sasha and john digweed @city aud on nov 17 -carbon@city aud on nov 23 both are gonna be hella awesome

weird day of coincedence [?]

Okay, so this morning I read the thing from Laura, and I’m like “w0o! concert! score!” … I hadn’t discussed it with anyone, but I had lost my lucky sacojawea almost 2 weeks ago, and was pretty bummed. Well, along with the super-nifty news from Laura, I turned around and turned my laptop bag out, and there was my lucky sac! Two nifty things in a row! Score! And then, right when I got into my truck, Train, by Incubus [who I’m seeing tonight], was playing! Another freaky thing! Wow! And then, get this! I’m wearing the super-nifty gap sweater that I got last christmas from the ex, and I saw her sister today on the way to work! What a freaky-ass coinkydink, eh? This day just kicks ass. I’m all stoked and hyper and everything, and have been all day. w0o!

2001-11-08 17:46:11 – here’s a little story
One night, at the lodge of a hunting club, two new members were being introduced to other members and shown around. The man leading them around said, "See that old man asleep in the chair by the fireplace? He is our oldest member and can tell you some hunting stories you’ll never forget." They awakened the old man and asked him to tell them a story. "Well, I remember back in 1944, we went on a lion hunting expedition in Africa. We were on foot and hunted for three days without seeing a thing. On the fourth day, I was so tired I had to rest my feet. I found a fallen tree, so I laid my gun down, propped my head on the tree, and fell asleep. I don’t know how long I was asleep when I was awakened by a noise in the bushes. I was reaching for my gun when the biggest damn lion I’d ever seen jumped out of the bushes at me like this: RRROOAARRR!!! …………I tell you, I just shit my pants." The young men looked astonished and one of them said, "I don’t blame you, I would have shit my pants too if a lion jumped out at me." The old man shook his head and said, "No, no… not back then, just now, when I said RRROOAAARRR!!!"
2001-11-09 01:02:57 – The
The Rules of Romance, according to James and Dave 1. It’s not for you, it’s for me. 2. All you have to do is be there. 3. It’s not when you want it, It’s when I want it. 4. Removal of clothing counts as foreplay. 5. When I’m done, Your’re done.
2001-11-09 07:33:47 – Burnz
I didn’t know James and Dave finally hooked up. I am not surprised. Good luck you two! You’ll be so cute together. I’ll get you some knee pads for the wedding.
2001-11-09 10:27:07 – rand0m
Disco, you are fucked up. Goddamn man, just a little respect goes a long way. I bet both of you look like the guy from goatse.cx …

[doh] and a couple other things

So somehow, I completely fucked up the authentication thing. I have zero idea what’s going wrong, but I’ll try and get it to work correctly tonight. Sorry! All the comments and everything will get consolidated into one ‘comments.php’ file as well, instead of being spread across 3 separate files. Should make things a lot smoother for everybody.

On another note, HPI is sucking wind pretty bad — I just might start looking for another job soon, just in case. That’s about the only noteworthy thing going on … other than that the wall between the geekpad people and I is still up, which makes for a semi-boring time of things. Oh, and my insurance company screwed up my insurance and charged me $427.34 for one month instead of my normal [much, much lower] rate. Which is sucky :: fighting with insurance companies really blows. sOo, that’s about it. Oh yea, I was thinking about putting up a communal list of people and their respective aim / msn / icq nicks … yea, nay?

Update: I know you people couldn’t care less, but the authentication / login stuff is fixed. Dunno what to do tonight … rather bored. ideas?

Update 2: I realized something today — crossing class / situational spheres is just a bad idea. Attempting to associate with people who spend the majority of their time doing things that you are not involved in is a prescription for not only disappointment, but also a breeding of contempt. I have found that it really sucks … makes it feel rather hopeless to try and pierce the social-bubbles that surround everyone. At least the weather is getting to be bad, which is definitely good :: I spent about 20 minutes outside tonight, just enjoying the crisp air and the falling micro-ice chunks … I hate wind, but dammit, I love fall.

OK, this has nothing to do with randal’s post… (rant mode on) I’m supposed to go to the Incubus concert tonight and due to stupid circumstances, i have to go to the springs afterwards, and have no ride to the springs, unless i forfeit the incubus concert and have my mommy pick me up. despite the fact i have been anticipating this show forever, i’m probably going to have to not go…(rant mode off) unless, randal, or someone, wants to come up here, pick me up, go to the incubus show (free ticket ($35 value), and maybe some taco bell, on me, on the way there or something). I would really really appreciate it. I’m giving you a free incubus ticket. they rock ๐Ÿ™‚ and, randal, or whoever, i’ll owe you my first born or something. Pleeeze! please please please.

My day is going pretty well … I drove all over town running errands and whatnot, and got to sit in on an HPI finance meeting, which was pretty cool [if a little disheartening]. As for the cell phone, it’s now a toss up between AT&T and Voicestream … AT&T cuz they have a good plan (400/unlimited for $40) with tons of coverage, or Voicestream, because they have an obscene plan (3000mins / $50) but not-so-hot coverage. Sound off below … I don’t have much going on … might just chill at the perk, or, get this, at home! ‘night

weekly ups & weekend

The obligatory week-beginning updates are in on the left hand side there, including a new mp3otw and blah blah blah.

So I went to denver this weekend [for the 3rd time in 7 days — jesus christ!] and chilled @ steve’s place on friday night … then we went to a LAN party on saturday, and that was hella fun. HAhahaa, I shoulda taken some pictures, but I didn’t have a camera; it was lots of fun, and I got to meet all the guys from Denver CS … I’m really glad I went. On sunday we fuckin veg’d like nobody’s business. It was cool. We went and got some grub at Chili’s, where I ogled at this particularly fine-ass waitress and then tried to order her for my entree [unsuccessful], then we went and saw Monsters, Inc. … good movie; Pixar really knows their shit. If any chicks want to go see a movie, I’ll see it again ๐Ÿ™‚

After dropping my box off downtown, I’m heading home, getting onto the interstate. I’m chillin at the left-turn at bijou and cascade, and this honkin’ jeep wrangler with monster tires and whatnot pulls up next to me. Light turns green, I floor it around the corner, and this goddamn jeep goes too — but doesn’t stay in their lane! So I, in my little tiny ring-a-ding honda am about to get sideswiped by this monster jeep … yea, well no fucking way. So I slam on my breaks and jerk the wheel to the left to get out of his way, and in the process end up sideways on the road … grr … I floor it down behind that mofo, horn blaring, lights flashing. He’s going southbound too … I think they got scared of me, because right before they were turning south, they changed their mind and went the north. Fuckers almost killed me; it was scary as shit.

Update: Forgot to mention that I got a notice in the mail that SprintPCS finally caught on that I am no longer a 3rd-party employee … so either I change to one of their normal cell phone plans, or they disconnect my service on the 14th. The phone hunt is on!

Being the most experianced here with what’s gay and what’s not, I’d say that the cell phone is more gay. Afterall, I don’t know anyone (who’s gay) that has a pager. So, if I saw a straight guy with a pager, I’d be pretty sure he was straight unless he was totally flaming, and I know that James isn’t such….but *obviously* that doesn’t mean that everyone with a cell phone is gay….

okay, I give, who the heck are you?
2001-11-05 14:52:14 – LikwidNyte
duh…..I thought you knew who I was…heh I think no one should tell him, that way he’s left wondering who on here is gay!!!
2001-11-05 15:39:58 – Burnz
Link-whatever the fuck his name is I don’t want to scroll down is Matt Hix. And pager’s are ghetto. I had one and hated it. rand0m, you can have my old one. It is lying somewhere between the springs and fort collins after being used as a highway tiddly wink. And they are fucking up the Transformers. They are making the construct-a-cons all wrong. Someone stop this madness before they do what the Japs did and make Optimus Prime a goddamn Lion or whatever.
2001-11-05 15:48:13 – The Disco Nova
Oh hey matt *wave*. Heh I just got nervous when someone gay knew me and I didn’t know them. You’re okay though ๐Ÿ™‚
2001-11-05 15:53:10 – rand0m
[notices Disco’s attempt at hiding his male lover] … so … disco … how about them texan steers? ๐Ÿ˜‰ … also, there is no way I’m getting a pager. Talk about suck. Even though i’m sure their 1/10th the cost and are almost as functional, they’re just not as good. Plus, a cell phone can act like a pager too. And they make cell phones that are about the size of a pager. See? Can’t lose ๐Ÿ˜€
2001-11-05 15:54:35 – The Disco Nova
bah, if I’m away from home, I prolly don’t want to talk to you anyways, so a pager does fine.

OK… whats w/ some Denver CS dude having a handle named after a Palmer teacher? I know it’s probably coincidence… but that just seems weird. Go there if you don’t believe me ….. http://www.denvercs.com/stats/d1/P_Todd_Hegert.html
2001-11-05 19:51:48 – cosmosmoon
Randal, have you ever noticed that all your sidebar comments are incredibly pessimistic and depressing? Ever have a good day? Oh, and also, pagers are evil. They are satan. Go for the cell phone.
2001-11-05 20:56:50 – GrooveMan
Hey first post w/ the new logon script…. Groovy ๐Ÿ˜€ non-edited
2001-11-05 21:07:37 – rand0m
Well, yea, you’re right, they are mostly downers … I don’t know why, really, they’re almost always things that just happen to pop into my head while I’m updating the rest of the sidebar. As for good days, yes, I have good days quite often. And yes, I will be getting a different cell ๐Ÿ™‚
2001-11-05 21:32:06 – Burnz
I would much rather hear the problems in your life than have that damn sidebar say something like "Vending machines can truly be a good source of income if correctly placed. Stores, and even restaurants utilize these functional devices in amazing ways. They put them slightly outside of the cash registers, thus right after a cahs purchase you are most likely juggling your groceries and thinking of what to do with the quarters in your hand. A master-work of impulse!" At least pessimism is engaging. Why did I put all that? Loser.
2001-11-05 23:27:50 – The Disco Nova
Randalls problem is that he doesn’t socialize enough with happy people. Almost all my friends are happy people. Btw Randall, if you can get a fake ID by the 17th you can come to my birthday party. My birthday is actually on the 8th, but me and dave have birthdays close together, so we are doing a dual party to keep costs down for the people who aare throwing it for us.
2001-11-05 23:50:55 – rand0m
wtf do you mean I don’t socialize enough with happy people? hat’s all I do … sheesh … Dave is not a happy person. He’s scary … As for your birthday party, you find me a place to get a fake and I’ll buy it. If I come, will you give me my power brick back?
2001-11-06 01:18:52 – The Disco Nova
Dave is very happy, he just enjoyed yanking the chain of people he thinks are wound up too tight (ie you). I enjoy the same things, I just have mercy on you for some reason. As for my party, yes I’ll give you your brick back. I’m actually thinking of trying to get you in simply on my looks and personality, but it’s a long shot, not sure how they would react to my asking. Although I do have a VIP card and spend 100 bucks a week there….
2001-11-06 01:19:57 – The Disco Nova
And I’ve met some of the people you socialize with, chemically induced happiness doesn’t count.

Hey Randall, What’s up bro… It was great meeting you at Travis’s party Friday nite, thanks for helping me overclock my PC. When I left the Saturday lan party you were snoring at 120 decibels, sacked out on a couch near the DU ballroom. I made Tony promise me that he wouldn’t let anyone "take advantage" of you while you were sleeping so soundly. HAHAH Cya l8r man.
2001-11-06 16:02:10 – rand0m
yea, I was completely konked out on that couch … taco and a couple other guys eventually throw a carpet on me … I didn’t notice [or wake up] for like 5 minutes ๐Ÿ˜‰
2001-11-06 19:09:15 – Laura
Can I have authorization level 69? pleeeze? hehe

wow, denver again & misc

Okay, so right now I’m in Denver [again!] for a LAN Party on saturday. w0o … yes, I know it’s extremely nerdy, but hey, there isn’t much else to do this weekend. My parents came back from their trip, it was pretty nice to see them. Apparently I am meeting up with my sister for christmas … dunno about all that, though.

Was at the downtown perk today and saw Jackie Q — Janelle’s friend — and I found out that she works at the north pikes perk. That’s pretty interesting; I only go there whenever I want to get away from people; it’ll be a little weird knowing somebody there. Don’t ask me why it’s weird, because it really isn’t *that* weird, but it is interesting. In other Janelle news, apparently Tony saw her & her friend Ari downtown on Halloween, and she was a real bitch to him … dunno how much credit I put on that, but I don’t see it as impossible.

There was something else that’s interesting, but I forgot. As much as spite and hate make for [not good] conversation, I don’t think I like it. Indeed, I’m not a real hateful person … quite the opposite in fact. I’m so damn happy-scrumptious that I can’t believe that people don’t adore me. I think most people *do* adore me, they just don’t know it yet.

Okay, and another pretty big thing in my life — I’m looking at getting a mustang, which would necessitate selling my truck, or keeping the truck and getting a motorcycle in the spring. Due to financing school and everything, it’s one or the other. Ideas?

2001-11-03 04:00:17 – Burnz
Yeah, pull several thousand out of thin air, sprinkle some fairy dust on it and then come to the conclusion that it isn’t going to happen. Horrid night, pardon my hostile pessimism.
2001-11-04 05:59:50 – realbighead
2 red bulls, 6 hours, and 5 pages of single-spaced Times New Roman essay later… wow. The world is really odd right now. Taking a quick break from the writing (not many pages to go), figured I’d de-lurk and post something nasty and bitter, but hopefully sarcastic nonetheless. more power to you for LANning… fuck the man, and all that. I don’t doubt that Janelle was a bitch to Tony, but I’d forgive her for it, cuz I’m probably worse when I run into him. And yes, I adore you, but mostly for that tight ass; don’t ever lose that, especially not if you want to survive prison. Mustang = silly, motorcycle in colorado = silly. Moving out = good idea. Saving up for more school = good idea. I just dunno why you need different vehicular shizzat going down; if you really need it in your life now, though, I’d have to go with the mustang, because, while not the best car for a mountainous snowy region, at least it’s a car. With walls and doors and stuff. Again, don’t quite see your need for it, but if it’s what you want, das coo. And now, back into the rapidly-turning-psychotic 5-guys-on-red-bull paper-writing period in Tore’s house. Missed the bitter sarcasm, but oh well. Your dick’s tiny. How’s that?
2001-11-04 11:23:15 – The Disco Nova
wanna go see "The One" tonight with me and dave, randall?
2001-11-04 12:48:39 – rand0m
nope … not only is it a terrible movie, but it’s my day off, and I’m not doing anything. Unless you’re female, in which case exceptions can be made ๐Ÿ˜‰
2001-11-04 18:18:16 – Likwidnyte
Randal… The oakenfold tixs charged to my account. So, while I don’t have them in hand, I know for sure that I’m getting them. You were talking about paypal…I now have an account because I had to purchase other tickets that way cause I won them off eBay. Also, like I said, they were $71.90
2001-11-04 20:16:39 – Laura
mustangs suck…if i were you, i’d go for a pretty new honda or toyota, they’ll last longer and they’re not ugly. the only reason to get a mustang is…well, actually, i don’t know why anyone would get one…my $.02
2001-11-04 20:33:01 – rand0m
now, are you saying all mustangs suck, or just a particular series? if you’re sporting that the 196x series sucks, I’m going to have to run away and cry like a ninny. What kind of honda/toyota are you talking about? That’s all …
2001-11-04 22:41:42 – The Disco Nova
The One was a cool movie. Not much of a story, but it looked cool. And even if you get a mustang, my car will still be faster than yours ๐Ÿ™‚
2001-11-05 01:41:03 – Laura
Any Mustang built in the last 20-30 years sucks…go cry like a ninny, you bastard. ๐Ÿ™‚ i say that in an all loving way. when i see a mustang, i say one of a few things: either the person drving it is 16, their parents bought it for them, and they want to look cool for the cheerleaders, or they didn’t have enough money to buy a nice fast car. either way, not a good thing ๐Ÿ˜› save up for a good car, or get like a nice car that gets good gas milage, but still goes fast and doesn’t look like someone took a huge colorful shit.
2001-11-05 02:49:18 – CaptnSpectacular
on a side note, why do you steal my ideas for mp3’s of the week? First weezer, now daft punk…what next? ๐Ÿ˜‰ mark
2001-11-05 10:57:30 – rand0m
well, just an FYI, a 1966 Mustang Fastback is more than 30 years old! So HA! WOOOO Mustangs! Seriously though, if I do anything, it will be drive my POS truck until it dies, sell it and get an equally crappy car. w0o! I think I’ll get a motorcycle in the spring, though. That’s just cool. and sorry mark, I’m such an mp3otw whore. I’ll try to never [coincedentally] do it again.

halloween & denver trip [again]

So today is Halloween, yeehaa! That’s all I really have to say about it. I have no plans for tonight, none, zip, zero :: I’ll probably go home and not pass out candy, but rather watch some TV and sleep. How exciting, right? Well, if you want to change this painfully boring situation, please do so by sending me an e-mail with suggestions on what to do / attend.

Went to Denver last night, and attended the AMD AthlonXP roadshow and had a really good time. Stayed up the whole night, showed up at 5:20am and proceeded so scream myself hoarse trying to win free stuff. It didn’t work. Steve won an AMD AthlonXP 1800 + motherboard, which is really cool, since he took us out to breakfast to celebrate. I was by far the best fan / devotee / loud-obnoxious-guy in the crowd, so I got the announcer guy’s card along with his acknowledgement that I just might get some free stuff. That’s cool.

I am discontent with the amount of squabbling, *not* good arguments, but dick-swinging squabbles, that my site generates. I don’t know what to do … logins? moderation? I don’t know. Ideas?

2001-10-31 14:57:36 – realbighead
Free shit is always good. And I dunno whether I would see the discussion Burnz and I are having as a squabble; it seems useful to me, but either way, I’ll try to catch him on AIM or e-mail him or use his forums or something from now on. P.S. The analogy was not meant to go quite so far; the average high-schooler in the backseat with his girlfriend is usually exceedingly inept; it was just an indication of the extent of your ineptitude in making the analogy. Besides, it was supposed to be a comical image, not a literalism. Jeez.

Oh my god, not a miniscule grammatical error on this forum! It surely is the first. Jesus Christ. Go make another 80’s style mom joke cock-gobbler.
2001-11-02 10:24:15 – rand0m
Matt, sorry to tell you buddy, but [asshole mode on] that isn’t a grammatical error. It is a spelling error. [asshole mode off] I think I’ll post something, but I don’t know what. Maybe something scathing.
2001-11-02 14:49:35 – Burnz
Since when is spelling not part of grammar? They went and got divorced? Broken English homes are rough on writers. I was learned that spelling is a subsection of grammar. But way to nit pick it, I’ll go get Janelle if I need that. Thanks you fucking sticklers for COMMENT CORRECTNESS. God for fucking bid that I make not one error, but one and one semantical possible error. Someone’s little balls are getting cut the fuck off, just test me.

yes, even with his horrible grammar. those damn authors and their horrible illiteracy. ๐Ÿ˜‰
2001-11-03 03:57:02 – Burnz
*sighs* someday you will understand the nuance of sarcasm. Until then stop wasting my time acting like little cunt mouthed fucks over saying obviously intentional things like "was learned that". And yes, this has bad grammar too, and I will continue to post with bad grammar, which I would put far above your act of posting with bad content.
