Wow, to all those that are against Vista. Shame on you. You people should really watch these videos and see what it is all about. The thing that I really don't like the most about some/most people is how they claim to dislike or hate something when they have zero actual knowledge about the object. You can have absolutely zero say in whether something is good or bad unless you have real knowledge about it. Rarely (never say never) should anyone ever rely on another person's opinion on almost anything.

Just had to make sure that everyone understands what is going on.

End.

It's Another Week

Yep, so today is yet another Monday to the beginning of another week. This week is somewhat special though. I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to work 20 hours of overtime this week. Lucky right? I guess you could think of that as good and bad. Good because I will be making time and a half for 20 hours but bad because I will be working 20 extra hours. Oh well. I could really use the money though because I need to pay my tuition for this upcoming fall semester and I also need to buy my books. Besides tuition, I have a bunch of bills that need to be paid. Why must the fun stuff in the world cost so much? I guess I don't mind having the extra work to do this week. Last summer I worked two full-time jobs for a couple months and it really didn't bother me at all. I guess I miss being that busy.

This past weekend, I was looking forward to seeing the new Batman movie, Batman: The Dark Knight, but it is sold out still and therefore I can't get a free ticket... not yet anyway. Instead of Batman, I was able to see Wanted again. That movie is really one of my all time favorite movies. Maybe because it has everything that any guy pretty much likes to see in a movie. Stuff blows up, cars/people flying through the air, bullets everywhere, good fighting scenes, and a hot chick. This movie covers all the bases.

I think that is all I have for right now. Later

A Few Things

The strangest topic came up in a conversation between myself and a co-worker of mine. It started out as a list of who we think are good rappers, then to good singers, then about people that are actors and singers. From there, it segued into our favorite actors/actresses, then just actresses and finally, those that we think are ugly actresses. Just a little strange (and kinda mean, but still funny). I thought it might be a pretty interesting list of people to write down. So here is our list of actresses that we think are ugly.
Ugly Actresses
1. Teri Hatcher
2. Drew Barrymore
3. Marcia Cross
4. Nicole Richie
5. Uma Therman
6. Kirsten Dunst
7. Cher
That's all that I can remember right now. To make this seem not so mean, I'll also put up a few that we think are least ugly
Un-Ugly Actresses
1. Megan Fox
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Charlize Theron
4. Jennifer Garner
5. Jessica Alba
6. Jessica Biel
So there you have it. Kind of a weird conversation. Thought it was a good mention though.
Moving on. I guess I don't have much else to say. I found a cool website, FriendFeed.com, that keeps track of all things, mostly, to do with social networking. It shows updates for just about any social networking website profile that you tell it to keep track of. Plus, if you have friends that are signed up, you can view their updates too. Awesome, right? I thought so. Anyway, they even have an app for Facebook and I think people should check it out if they're into that sorta thing. I also have taken a new liking to Gradual Report on YouTube. I think it is hilarious, check that out too.
I guess that all for now. "Tune in tomorrow — same Bat-time, same Bat-channel!" (If I had a bat-channel and a bat-time, that's where you would go)

Sitting Here...

I feel bad. I am sitting, not doing anything really important, just checking out the internets and seeing what's new. As I began checking my email, Facebook, YouTube, BlogTV, etc. accounts I remembered my Blogger. And now I feel bad because I have been neglecting it. (I'm sorry blog). I look at my blog title, Almost Daily Journal, and really feel like I have been extremely lazy with it. It really isn't hard to write a paragraph or two at least every other day. So I will begin trying harder to stay on top of that.

As for an update in my life and it's happenings....

I am done with school for the summer. Yay! I now have until the end of August to do as close to nothing as I can. Since I have been out of school I have only accomplished a few things, spending money is the main one. I bought a nitro RC car, but I haven't been able to play with it because the con rod and piston head destroyed themselves while breaking in the motor. So I sent the motor in today in exchange for a new one. Also, my brother and I went to a concert at the House of Blues here in Dallas which was pretty cool. We saw Powerspace, Danger Radio, Ace Enders and Cute Is What We Aim For (the only one group we knew). Ace Enders, by the way, are a pretty decent rock/alternative/pop/indie band, if you are into that kind of thing.

As for how I spend my mornings now that I don't have to be at school; I sleep in. Not really that late, but normally to about 9:00am. And to help pass by time in the mornings, I have re-started(?) playing WoW (World of Warcraft) again (me=total nerd). I also get in some Xbox360 play time for some local multiplayer stuff. And I cannot forget to mention the internets. I have started watching plenty of YouTube and BlogTV stuff. So much so that I have even felt the need to create my own accounts and create my own videos and broadcast my own show (off the deep end).

Even though my nerd-side has just about taken over for the summer, I still go outside and play airsoft, attempt riding skateboards, and head to the movie theater almost every weekend. Also, please keep in mind that I still have a full-time job, so all of this is happening while I am not working.

As for vacation stuff. I want to make another trip out to California but am unsure if it is really going to happen, mainly because of money and work. I would at least like to make a trip out to Six Flags for a Saturday before school resumes. Maybe some people from California will come out here to visit? (highly doubt it).

Well, that's that for now. Again, sorry blog... and any readers(?) for the neglect of posts. I get a slap in the back of the head for that.


On a side note. I created a "My Map" with Google Maps of places that I like. If anyone feels the inclination to check it out, feel free to do so. The link is here
