Ahh. Mid-October. I love it! It smells like the thought of a cold chill running down your back as you wonder what your next move should be, only to realize that no matter what you do, you can’t win. And tra-la-la-la-de, more apathetic emotions to come later.

I guess it can’t be all that bad though.

I want to apologize to my .. oh.. three readers, for not posting a god damn thing in such a long time. I was going through some pretty rough times at the end of August through now. I can’t deny that it hasn’t gotten any better. There’s so many things going on at the moment that I can hardly think straight enough to write about them all; but, I’ll start and probably won’t finish.

That first crack ALWAYS hurts the most. It almost feels like dropping your new born right on his head. You feel horribly and sickly and the angst and pain doesn’t go away as easily as kissing a booboo. It looks like our good friend BGR has dropped and cracked his BlackBerry Bold for the first (and hopefully last) time.

Taking the plunge, he doesn’t even hesitate to inform the world of his suffering. To no one’s surprise, the unprotected Bold won’t stand up too well to pavement, gravel, or tile, whathaveyou, when dropped from as little as two feet — maybe this is where a real metal bezel would come in handy, right RIM?

BGR doesn’t go into whether or not any essential functions of the Bold were rendered useless but I’d take him up on his advice if I were you.

Buy a condom skin for the Bold. As big and ugly as it makes the device, you’ll appreciate it in the end.

I really hate my computer. Somewhere between the time I built it and now, it seems to have developed a problem with the memory I put in it or the motherboard I put it in. Sometimes it just erratically bursts into flames and the fan spins at inoperable speeds. And most of the time I’m battling the dreaded BSOD which only supplies me random codes having to do with the IRQL not being less than or equal to something and memory equivalents. When researching these errors I end up with “replace your motherboard” or “replace your memory” solutions.

So what the fuck, I’m going to rebuild my computer from the ground up. I have the money to buy the majority of shit I need but I’ll buy it in pieces within the next few weeks. Let’s take a look at what I’ll be putting together, piece by piece.

A full spec list and parts list after the break.

Although you will never, ever ever ever ever eveveveerverver see this in your entire life, I would like to say Happy Birthday to you Isabel

I hope you have a fantastic day, week, rest of your year and I wish you the best, always.

Journey will be performing at the Mandalay Bay, TONIGHT! I cannot express the joy and excitement I have for this right now. By the virtue of my lovely, illustrious sister, Karen, I was able to obtain two superb seats the night before the show. Thanks Kar!

So who will join me in this event? For that, you’ll have to wait and see. I can only promise the most beautiful woman anyone has ever seen.

I’ll have a boat load of pictures to post and show everyone how the night went. It should be a pretty promising show.

I’ll have a post ready for everyone tomorrow morning.

See ya there!

Update: Apparently, my camera wasn’t allowed in the show. I only got a few shots of Heart and Journey with my BlackBerry.

Despite the prejudicism against my camera, the show was outstanding. We got great seats and great music all night long. And even some inbetween drunk freak show infront of us. It was awesome.

Everyone’s seen this video, or atleast over 4 million. But I think it’s possibly the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.

The girls have hot bodies too.

Nice.

No, I haven’t forgotten my basic math skills, or how to use the Calculator on Windows. The 220-602 IT Technician Exam is the second test required to becoming A+ Certified.

I didn’t really feel it was right for me to have to wait until all the other people at work felt like they wanted to take the pre-screen or the exam for me to be able to advance. I hate having my success rely on the potential of others; because, if you haven’t noticed by now, people suck really bad.

I talked to the trainer at work, Lisa, and she gave me the 220-602 book right away. She gave me a few words of encouragement and overall enlightenment. I plan on studying intensely for the next week or so and then scheduling a pre-screen for the second exam. If I pass with an 80% or better (which I hope I will) then I’m definitely going to schedule the exam for the very next week.

I can’t wait to be certified. It only makes me want to complete more certifications.

Enterprise, here I come!

The Bierstick is, oddly enough, a syringe for beer. Why? No one knows.

Astonishingly, it allows the medically-low-in-beer to gulp down 24oz. of beer in 2 seconds flat—which would also probably leave one with a very broken throat in the process, if you’re not used to large amounts of liquid flowing down your throat—and… it’s FDA approved! The most common uses would be for use in swimming pools and lingerie parties.

The Bierstick will set you back a hefty $20, on top of another $500 you would probably need to pay for the hot girls in their white bras and panties required for the proper use of the Bierstick; according to the pictures in the instruction manuals.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve already ordered myself a couple of these. I think it beats the hell out of drinking regular old beer out of a bottle.

Drink BIER!

Anything that you do in life, do it right.

And you can quote me on that quote unquote.

I’m half way there. All that hard work, sweat, long nights, and dirty looks finally brought me to the medial point in this grand adventure towards the ultimate first step in technological advancement.

Oops sorry. I’m ALMOST certified.

Last Friday, the great Company I Work For, arranged an appointment with Pearson VUE for me to go take the Essentials 220-601 A+ exam, which is the first part to the A+ Certification offered by CompTIA.

Needless to say, I passed with flying colors; 82% B to be exact.
