So what have you guys enjoyed reading about on my blog? I ran into an interesting question: Define your site in 10 words.. I actually struggled to figure out what this blog actually entailed.

I thought well I know for sure I am using this to share my life.. but I also would like to share projects, ideas and great things that I have found on the Internet.

This is great and all, but what ORIGNALITY do I have to offer? I know I have graphic things I can share and I can develop movies, but I really want to write. If you read this and you don’t comment, can you please leave a comment on what you would like to see here, and also give me 3 words that would describe this site

This is the first thing I thought when I saw this question:

Well I deleted my Yuwie account just now. Nothing positive has come out of it, therefore I only saw fit to remove it from my favorites tab for good.

Reasons why it was bad:

• Everyone on it was out to get paid.
• I had very little social interaction. It was mostly spam via comments or group invites.
• I thought the idea of making money ontop of socializing was good, but people are greedy and treated it like a spam garden.
• Every 3rd or so click generated a popup.

Oh well, I guess I will stick with my facebook / myspace / twitter  combo.

Just press play and enjoy!

Whenever I mention the word “Lan” to my normal friends I almost always hear the word right back in question form. Well ladies and mostly gentlemen, I present to you, the Lan Party.

The Lan Party: A gathering of computer gamers for one main reason: to play in close proximity.

Video games are almost always viewed as this kid:

The kid sitting in his room with his console playing by himself. Well for computer gamers, this is partially true.. we are sitting by ourselves but most of the time we are playing online with others. A lan party is perfect to meeting those who you regularly play with online and gives you the ability to talk smack to them in person instead of over voice chat.

Back in the day, console gamers, in order to play multi-player had to actually go over to that persons house and play. Computer gamers have never had this luxury however. Ever since I can remember we have always had multiplayer over the phone lines or some form of long distance communication. A lan gives us the best of both worlds: Proximity and the greatness of computer gaming.

I am not going to say computer gaming is better than its console brothers (it is) but computer titles have always lacked the ability to sit with others and just play. The lan party however fills this need.

So your interest now? What do you need to set one up?

So I am still a trainee as an officer at my local hospital. We are understaffed and since I am not officially a guard yet, I cannot be accounted to do anything but shadow the other officers. Well yesterday I had the chance to do something on my own.

On the usual training I am showed the buildings and how to go through them to make sure there is no problems such as someone stealing something or a fire. Occasionally we do however get someone who may need to be restrained or simply kept in their room.

It just so happened that I got to see this upfront. We were understaffed that day, and durring the second half of my shift I volunteered to watch this lady and make sure she didn’t leave the room. For the next 5 hours seemed to be the most entertaining hours I have had in a long time.

I arrived in the emergency room when one of the nurses told me that the particular room had a woman who was intoxicated and could not leave until someone came to get her. I looked at the door, which was closed at the time and thought, simple enough right? The door swung open and there stood my conversationalist for many hours to come.

The woman was elderly, in her 40’s and sounded like the possessed woman from the poltergeist. Her body was warn and her tattoo’s told stories of many harsh times.

I explained to her, ma’am you cant leave. She responded with a “I’m not trying to leave” as she leaned around the door. I stood there casually and she eventually wobbled back to her bed. She then fumbled around her pockets to see if she could find her cigarettes. This is of course where the story begins.

Try it. I am going to. Its just like myspace but with a pyramid scheme.. Its nice to see theres potential money to be made. Click the image to find out what its all about.

Edit:

My experience with this site is nothing but sad. I gave it a few days, but unfortunately the added bonus of talking to people and checking out other peoples friends have become so much more than that. It seems to be a rat race of individuals trying to see who can get who to sign up and who can get who to make the most money. All the while the developers are enjoying the revenue. The constant friend invites, the constant spam, and the most annoying popup ads after every click would have to get me to disagree with this service. I am not sure there is a way to babysit the users and get them to actually use this site as a networking tool instead of an advertisement one.

Granted, some people are very helpfull, and contacts can be made from this site, I would still say to stick with your normal myspace/facebook/hi5 websites for actual conversations. If you do have something you would like to get the word out on however, this is the place to do it. It almost feels like a link exchange from all of the advertisements being shared by everyone. its just sometimes you get to put a face behind the person trying to get you to buy something or get you to do something.

Basically in a nut shell: Yuwie = Pyramid Scheme + Social networking.

Below are the “Deep Thoughts” quotes I loved the most by Jack Handey.

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there’s no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other.

If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is “God is crying.” And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is “Probably because of something you did.”

If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn’t open, and you friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.

I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you’d probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.

If you’re in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it’ll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.

Sometimes, when I lie in bed at night and look up at the stars, I think to myself, “Man! I really need to fix that roof.”

I added yet another feature that absolutly no one will use on this site.

I cant get a comment, but I added a shoutbox… cool?

I havent had much energy to write in this thing. I do however keep updating little parts of it.. but no one noticed because I dont have any traffic to this site haha.

Oh well right? Enjoy this I guess until I write:

_________________________________________________

I’ve noticed all my comments were spam, so I have decided to write a new plugin based off the old one. The key to fighting spam is being unique. If you have something no other website has, then you are less likely to be spammed. So I have added a new math plugin based off the old.

Also I noticed the comment box was at the very bottom of the page.. instead of where I wanted it. I have fixed this and made the submit button left aligned and much much more prominant.

So leave me comments now!
