I stole a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" from my coffee table before I left for school on Sunday. (Sorry if anyone was reading that.) It's an abridged copy (fits in your pocket) but its got a fair amount in there. I finished it all on the ride down to school. Its amazing that the meaningful texts are so obscure. I mean completely obscure. This shit would make no sense the first read with out the commentary after every sentence. The part that …
I had a nice walk in the city today. All over north times square. For about 3 or 4 hours me and a bunch of good friends ran around searching every restraunt and diner in the area.
Searching? Why you ask?
A kid named Hollis (forgive my spelling) who has the money for the 9 of us to eat and who also had Cassie's little sister Sammy. We were suposed to meet them on the corner of 55th street and Broadway. Cutting to the chase. I now have a good feali…

Some stupid kids up the block tried to make a smoke bomb. Two fire engines, a shit load of cops and a bombsquad later they suceeded in burning down thier kitchen. Don't they know they have to do this stuff in thier back yard? (In my defence I grew up with a concrete allyway as my back yard.)
In other news I was playing with my cellphone. I have made (on this phone). 2,930 calls totaling in 5,720 minutes on the phone. Thats an average of 1.95 minu…
Today my Great Grandmother Died. She was 98 years old. Her birthday was the day before mine. We'd both send each other cards each year. She was a gypsy growing up my mother says. Used to dance. I never saw her dance but you could tell there was still a fire behind her eyes. An energy in her mind that existed regardless of the body. She was amazing. She will be missed.
Its amazing how fast things can add up. It takes so long to make them managable again.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
Yes...
I can't believe the news today
Oh, I can't close my eyes
And make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? How long...
'cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back …
I've been meening to update this page with random song lyrics to supplment actualy writing anything.

"Big Eyed Fish"
Look at this big - eyed fish swimming in the sea oh
How it dreams to be a bird swoop and diving through the breeze
So one day caught a big old wave up on to the beach
Now he.s dead you see beneath the sea is where a fish should be
But oh God
Under the weight of life
Things seem brighter on the other side
You see …

I hope fedex can find me in the meen time.

The origional quote from Obi-Wan is "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
Today around 1:30 4 of us gathered around my bosses computer while "flicked" our new Packeteer Packet Shaper. Kaz(-)aa was pulling a whopping 11mb of data a second now only gets 1.5. Webtraffic gets priority (and then our webserves get over all of that) and then probaly the offices and th…
A bunch has happened.
I'm not sure really where to start.
Haikus have been written, friends have been betrayed, people have become close, others have drifted apart, superheroes have a new meaning, changing of life has been identified, important things have been lost, and people will be found.
Anyone out there ever see Adaptation?
It wouldn't be an interesting day if something didn't go wrong.
This moring before I left for class I woke up my Powerbook to read my mail and I was greeted with the familiar sound of the hard drive crashing. It's happened twice before and just a week before I got the hardware so I could back it up it dies. My data is relativly intact. It's just when reading parts of the drive it takes for ever. I should be able to get 99% of it backed up my self…
I figured it would take some cool graphics and links to help draw readers back to the site after its downfall. (Repeated downfalls.)
Let me first present to you, My trip to california in 90.3 seconds!
You can download it here. (Still making it come back later)
I've also found a few cool links in my travels over the past few days. Andy Foulds Design falls under the catagory "What the hell do I do with it?" Its a really cool website wich has a bunc…
Would you believe its already February? Wow only 14 more days before I'm the oldest possible teenager. (*note - rant about getting older removed.)
I know this is a shameless plug but I'll get it over with. Here, Here and here (the last has absolutely nothing to do with the first two - I don't actually want anything from this site.)
On a much cooler note the first episode of the Animatrix has been released.
(I'm not feeling the talkative vibe toda…
We are all going to hell.
I'm going home this weekend to be with my loved ones in this time of need.
