Back Again

I sent out a flurry of entries about 2 weeks ago as I had been without internet and wanted to keep some regularity in my blog writing, but I have once again fallen behind as I have been unexpectedly lazy/busy/unlucky when it came to finding a desk I liked and ordering a wireless internet card. In the end I found that Target and Meijer have nothing on the Office Max furniture section, as they are actually stocked with the desks they put on display, a very novel concept indeed. Getting the desk was only half the difficulty however, as it was equally as troublesome to put together. Yes, I am a mechanical engineer, and no, it wasnt really difficult, but let's just say the people from Bush's Furniture need to have some more parts assembled when you open the box to start.

Anyway, let me just say that there is a small part of me that is not so relieved to have the old computer and internet set back up. I bet for any of you reading this (because if you are reading this you probably suffer from the same condition) that you have a little problem with obsessive compulsive internet usage. Of particular interest is the AIM profile/away message. When I'm bored and have nothing to do, I tend to check both endlessly, sometimes even the same one multiple times when I'm pretty sure nothing has changed. This can even lead to checking on people I dont even know, or havent spoken to in years, who's names somehow make it on my list. The funniest thing about this psychological condition? I dont even use AIM to communicate all that often, maybe every few days...it's really just a weird obsession. I know nobody ever comments to my entires, but I'll try again by requesting anybody who shares this problem to comment and share their thoughts. Shit, I could write a book about how skewed AIM has made communication in the 21st century, but I'll spare you all.

Allright, well, I guess I've had a few semi-adventures the past week or two that I could share, so look forward to those in upcoming entries. Apparently my blog has reached enough of a following that name dropping has been requested from a few of my readers. They just better hope that I don't have bad things to say about them, because I ain't writing this to make friends ;). On a more friendly note, let me just say that a recent journal entry by former roommate Adam Cole listed me as his most influential person he knew in college. That actually kinda touches me...a little bit. It also makes me think, if I had to rank people from my college experience, how would things shake down? In all reality, I don't think any list would seem right to me, as some people that I currently hate or don't speak to would realistically make it near the top of my list. My naivety coming to college bred a lot of learn by mistake situations, so in a special tribute, let me give this one time thanks to all the bitches, whoes, sluts, cunts, twats, assholes, jerks, egomaniacs, and generally bad people who shaped me through their evil ways. Seriously, I wouldn't be half the man today without enduring some of the things I did. Chances are though, that if you're reading this, you're not part of that list; in fact, if you're actually reading this then you are likely a very positive influence in my life, so thank you on that front as well. Bye for now, all...
