The Tsunami is Awesome Power unleashed and untapped potential thats waiting

We are being inundated with reports of the Tsunami's devastating effects on the South Asian scene, all of which point to even more dead. A few things to remember about the Tsunami and the forces that created it. Wave power has the potential to wipe out so many people and destroy Billions of dollars... Sign in to see full entry.

My Nephews are agony and ecstacy

I guess this is fairly typical of the "Home for the Hollidays" crowd. My 2 newphews are driving me up the wall!! But man are they cute!. I got a 3 year old and a 5/12 year old to deal with. And I even get a break from them as they are with my parents. Now don't get me wrong. I love them and like... Sign in to see full entry.

Its lonely when you're alone

I have to admit that I am a paradox of emotions. There are times when I crave soliturde but then I need to be in the "presence" of people without actually acknowledging them. Is that a strange byproduct of being a minority? Who knows. I prefer to be in the background but yet still a command a voice... Sign in to see full entry.

My Tires Spinning and Money down the Drain

Has anyone ever started a business? You have to live off your savings (or in my case my inheritence) for several months before anything gets started. I got off to a false start when I tried joing a loser's franchise and the whole deal fell through. I was supposed to start in late September, yet the... Sign in to see full entry.

Spending and Buying till it comes out of your ears

I spent a lot of time at Border's today. Its' my home away from home and I spend time there waiting for phone calls and doing email. Something about me, I think its the "American Mass Consumption Disease". I have to spend money almost every day. Today I upgraded my wi-fi connection to that broadband... Sign in to see full entry.

There were rednecks all over the place

Today there was a big Travis...something or other concert at Mohegan Sun. I went down there against my better judgement, not to see the concert, but just to be around people so I don't feel so lonely. I met a hitch hiker along the way there and we started to commiserate about life. It turns out that... Sign in to see full entry.

Watch the slots

I went down to Mohegan Sun today and looked into the Race Book and slot machines. I lost a bit of money at the races, so I took a breather and went over to the Rib joint at the mall. I ate some Kentucy Lamb. I didn't even know they had that down there, I thought they all came from New Zeland. Can... Sign in to see full entry.

I fixed my computer and there is joy at 200GB!

Today is the day I had a long talk with my tech support guy at the computer place. I went over my actions in trying to find a floppy drive cable for this computer. He told me its there, I just have to look deeper. So I take apart the computer, and lo and behold, its on the opposite of the floppy... Sign in to see full entry.

Idiots sent me a non-working computer!!

This is just a random occurence, I'm sure, but why does it happen to me! I bought a new computer through e-bay and as soon as I take it out of the box; It won't boot! Mike the tech support guy claims the shippers damaged it and that's why the hard drive needs to have Windows re-installed. So I go... Sign in to see full entry.

The Many Realities of Space-Time

I am in my experimental mood again after watching this sci-fi flick. It was about a group of people trapped inside this cube. Strange things happenned to them and only one of them made it out alive, only to get shot in the head by the military. It was a good plot, I wish I wrote it. Sometimes that...
