  • windows 7

    i'm enjoying this OS a lot more than vista, and really applauding Microsoft for it.

    http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2354784,00.asp

    "Windows 7 put Microsoft back on track. So where do we go from here? Well, if all goes according to Microsoft's traditional pattern, the company will pre-announce the next OS, codenamed something stupid and obscure like Loganberry, Pygmy, or Seagull. Microsoft execs will promise all sorts of fantastic new features that we've all been waiting for. Development on the OS will have already been underway for a year, and the results will be touted as being better than anything that came before. Microsoft will promise the OS for 2013, and it will be delivered in 2014, with most of the promised features missing.

    In the meantime, patches for Windows 7 will begin to roll out. Most of these will be security patches. Each one will slow down the OS until it's a complete dog by 2011, and then Microsoft will roll out SP1 to "fix everything." The pundits will rave about how great Windows 7 SP1 is, while complaining about how long it took for Microsoft to deliver it.

    In other words, here we go again."

  • i want

    i want an old dog that loves me.
    a cracked mug that says "worlds best dad",
    a phonograph playing a scratched "moonlight serenade"
    while my wife dances slowly next to me.

    i want a house that smells of cookies and freshly baked bread,
    and grandkids yelling in the background as they squabble over toys.
    i want to paint my walls green, lavender, navy, and black.
    and do it again.
    not to decorate, just cuz it's fun.

    i want my car to die,
    then buy a new one and see that one die, too.
    i'd like to be the handyman,
    to pretend like i know how to fix household appliances,
    but eventually call the technicians.
    i want to be able to laugh, cry, sing, and dance with her forever.
    and for her to be satisfied with the same.

    i'd like to grow like a tree, soaking in the sun.
    to grow old physically,
    to grow young mentally.
    to laugh in the face of death, and to shake my fist against the winds of fate.
    i'll be the old man in the nursing home, playing bingo and CHOO CHOO-ing when i win.
    yeah, i'd like that....alot.

  • types of people u can meet at the club

    1) the lingerer
    this is the guy that stands there, he's not your friend, and you don't know who he came with.
    he's slowly sipping his beer or BMF, and he's looking at you.
    he gets closer and you anticipate a conversation to finally strike up, but lo and behold, nothing happens.
    he just lingers. 
    also known as the creepy guy.

    2) the loudmouth.
    he'll get drunk. he'll get pissed off. he will start a fight, and you will wish you didn't bring him out.
    although, he's also the guy that will back you up in any sort of tussle; not because you're his friend, but because when there's any sort of anger in the club, he's gonna be in the middle of it.
    he's the guy that walks around with two beers in his hand, spilling it all everywhere while taking no responsibility for his actions. he's the epitome of the song "Move, B*tch get out the way".

    3) the complainer 
    i've seen this one too often. he's the guy that you brought that has no balls to talk to the girls, 
    so he'll follow you around trying to make you talk to girls JUST so he can get introduced to them. 

    "HI, how are you doing? oh yeah, this this my friend (insert complainer name here)."
    then he complains. "she wasn't so hot, why'd u introduce me"

    meanwhile, he's complaining about the club, the music, the lack of females, and the quality of the alcoholic drinks.
    you just want him to shut up, so you buy him a drink. 
    eventually, he gets drunk, goes sit down somewhere (or passes out somewhere) and you finally have fun.
    he's almost never tagged in facebook albums.

    4) the pimp
    this is the guy with the hat. everyone knows he's the pimp, and everyone wants him to come out.
    no one knows if he can dance well, because it doesn't really matter. he's a pimp and regardless of how he moves on the dancefloor, everyone is wowed.
    there are always 3-4 girls hanging around him either holding his drinks or buying him drinks.
    the photog's always notice this guy (probably because of the girls, and his stylish clothes) and he's always tagged in the next day's facebook albums.
    he's got a confidence usually observed in white european males, although he could be any race.

    5) the bar chick
    this is not the bartender. this is the golddigging girl that camps out at the bar, wearing close to nothing and waiting to catch a guy looking at her.
    once she snags one, she'll sweet talk him into buying her (and her friends) a drink.
    then she'll leave the guy and camp out for another until she's buzzed, then she'll go to the dance floor and only dance with her girlfriends until the night's done.
    there are many variations of these, some are cougars, some are just plain gold diggers.
    you can see them often in the techno room, because alot of times they don't really know how to dance.

    6) the princess.
    she's usually emo, or has some sort of relationship problem going on.
    she's feeling down because her boyfriend isn't treating her well, and she doesn't want to talk to anyone, or dance with anyone.
    the only thing that makes her feel better is when poor pathetic souls try to talk to her, and she gets the satisfaction of 
    exercising her Gong-Ju syndrome on them, usually resulting in rejection.
    it's really sad, because these Gong-ju's are usually very pretty, although they have very low self esteem.

    this can happen to men as well, with the only difference is that usually girls don't hit on Emo guys that are sitting in the corner sulking.

    7) staggerer
    this guy (or girl) will drink a LOT. 
    they will start staggering around everywhere, and their friends will have to actually split up in the club and hunt them down.
    they will be found sitting with a group of strangers, either smoking, drinking, or getting molested.
    often, they will start throwing up; resulting in epic party fails, and arguments among sober friends as to which car he/she should ride in.
    this person could also be the loudmouth, but usually isn't because they don't get angry when drunk.

    8) the funny guy
    this is the guy that doesn't care. he'll get a buzz and start dancing with anyone and anything.
    he's the guy that knows all the silly dance moves from the movie hitch, and all the typical white guy dance moves
    (such as the White Man's Overbite, the Dice, the Robot, and The Stare and Point)
    he'll start cracking jokes, and will be the center of attention until his buzz wears off, or until he gets drunk and partyfails.

    9) the Energizer Bunny
    you know this girl, she's the girl that's craaaazy. she' keeps GOING and GOING and GOING and she doesn't even need alcohol. 
    she'll find a guy, and grind on him allll night, wear him out, then find another and keep going.
    this girl usually has long hair (that smells like herbal essences) so she can fling it around while pumping her hips.
    she always has a good time, regardless of what happens. usually photogenic, and almost always appears in the next day's facebook photo tagging. 

    10) the couple.
    these two just don't get enough of each other.
    people want to dance with you.  people want to drink with you. heck, other people just want to TALK to you two. 
    get a room! it's the club, go have fun and socialize. 
    you wonder why you invited them out, but next time you'll still invite them because you hope that they'll branch out....
    but nope, everytime they will disappoint and still remain the couple that they are.

    11) normal guy and girl
    you're just there for fun... you probably organized the rides and group.
    you know your limits, and you don't get drunk.
    you have a buzz, dance a little, chill in the VIP a little, and casually strike up a conversation with anyone who might look interesting that night.
    this constitutes probably 70% of the people that go to clubs.
    you are probably taking pictures of the crazy people listed above.
    you find it all very amusing, and talk about them the next day.
    you are the one uploading and facebook tagging all these people.
    you're the one that suggests everyone meet up at wings cafe aftewards, and you take care of the drunk people.
    aka. the nice guy or the nice girl.
