Working on a setup here. Before I had two computers, one a laptop and one a regular PC. The video card on the PC is on it’s last legs, so I got the idea of making that one a server! It worked, I had a nice php/mysql thing going with that. Anyway, turns out we need a badass media editing machine for some reason for DVD for some band I deal with vocally. :p

So I goes, “Okay, need a new video card, RAM, and some serious storage.” Boom, got a new vid card (a NICE one), 2 gigs of RAM, and 2 360 gig drives.

On top of that, I decide to tranfer older hardware to a barebones ASUS machine. CHEAP! Got it all in the other day, and I was very happy.

Worked on them all evening, got NEITHER of them working. Had PC guts all over the place and a sour attitude exploding from my face. Nice lyrical nonsense, yes?

Anyway, after some more troubleshooting I got the little barebones system here working now (it’s formatting the drive). The big bad PC is my next one. That guy just isn’t booting, and I can’t figure out why. Oh well, this is what I do. This is what makes me one of those guys.

What, you were expecting me to get philosophical or some shit? Well I will. Hang on.

So much going on that I can’t think straight. I bought even MORE domain names. Now I’m at 16, and I think I’ll stop for a while. Gonna get crazy with them too.

Speaking of business, here’s a tidbit for you that is VITAL to keep in mind when you want to create success.

Just the other day I was having a chat with my boss about this and that, and the topic of myspace came up. So then I say:

“Myspace has everything I want in a business. Business, exposure, tons of profit. Drives me crazy. I HATE that guy who owns it. HATE HATE HATE!”

My boss, being Mr. Successful Entrepreneur guy, stops me.

“Woa, stop that. Don’t hate that guy because he’s successful. Be that guy. He accomplished something great, and you can to. But you can’t do that if you hate him.”

Basically, whenever you bash someone that is successful, you are saying that “They should be as miserable as me!” What kind of fucked up logic is that? Well it’s true. Think about it. Then, in a way, you prevent yourself from becoming successful because you certainly don’t wanna be that guy who people say, “I hate that guy!” Right? Right.

I also must vent about one more little thing that I’ve vented to my friends already.

Why must every party I go to SUCK? This isn’t something I intentionally walk into either, nor is this a result of negativity (I’m generally very positive). But FUCK! Every party I’ve gone to for the past 5 years (with the exception of my birthday party from 2004) have been rather boring. Some are funner than others, but 90% of them are lame. Why?

• Nobody really shows up.
• The girl to guy ratio is horrendous.

For example. One party I went to recently was about 10 – 15 people. Out of those 15, 2 were chicks. These 2 chicks were both married or engaged to select guys at the party. Now don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love hanging out with my friends and shootin’ the shit, but it’s ALSO be nice to have a female population where I could, I dunno… “expand my horizons!” Where the fuck are the good parties? Or better yet, GATHERING SPOTS? I hang out with my friends all the time already, so let’s add some spice to the stew, ya know?

GRRAQAWAERAWRWRR!

It’s just annoying, but I love my friends and wouldn’t trade any of them for the hottest chick to ever exist.

Tonight, some of my friends went to this chick’s birthday party. I know her (she’s married to a really cool feller), and she’s pretty cool, but not only did I want to get this computer stuff working, I knew that it was going to be boring. No offense to her, of course. It was that I knew I would go up there, have a couple beers, get really bored, and feel like I’m doing nothing for no reason. I know that sounds mean, but I really am tired of that feeling and don’t want it anymore. I’d rather take a risk and go to a party where I don’t know anyone than go to one I KNOW I’ll be bored at. Does that make sense? Yes.

Har har, 98% done formatting this drive. I go now.
