8. Figure out Thanksgiving plans
9. Clean out the truck
10. Organize my bills and finances
11. BPC - (either decide on which ideas to do [kayla's scrapbook, etc], or post that i am looking for a group)
12. APO - Figure out who I want to nominate for positions, and the points for/agains the people who are nominated; figure out if i want to be a part of the chapter next semester, and in what capacity; prepare for initiation, because it's going to be cold.

Okay, so this is a bit rediculous. I mean it's the same thing as video games influencing children, when all they really do is just give them something entertaining to do.

I understand where they are coming from by pulling this movie, as it demonstrates that they are concerned abou their patrons. But does this mean that they won't complain when they don't get a return on the $$ that they have invested? Does this mean that the 22-screen complex won't have half a plane fly through their parking lot as a result of seeing Sahara?

I mean, I'm not going to go see this movie because I don't really think that 50 cent has any business doing anything except rapping about his boys "up in da club" or being a completely polished and handled marketing tool.

All in all, if I do go see something at the movies, it needs to have more than a pretty boy rapper who can shoot folks. Hell, Gucci Mane didn't have the first part right and he wound up in jail before his record was released. Serves him right. You know he's going to be someone's bitch, because "Gucci Mane's Bitch" just sounds dumb.

Man today is a gray day. I mean, yes it's over cast and all that, but damn is today just crappy.

We're watching Anchorman. It's a truly morbidly random movie. I mean, it's funny, but today is a very crappy day so far. Kayla and I are sad, and I am just so damn confused because I can't figure out what to do about it.

I'm going to take a shower and try to not feel so damn sorry for myself. And perhaps Kayla and Imight even be able to talk without getting upset.

So freakin' down right now.

So I've been a good little boy lately. I haven't really indulged in the usual college drinking, fornecating, carefree lifestyle. I am not sure that I think that's a good thing, though.

What I have managed to do, though, is:

• get on top of my grades
• See Kayla a good bit
• Manage my finances (to an extent)
• work a good bit (and get some momentum going on the whole business model thing)
• Play with my gadgets
• Read a good book dilligently.

I must admit: I don't usually toot my own horn. And by toot my horn I mean get a big head. And by get a big head, well.... you figure it out. It feels good to have some small things to brag about. Granted, I'm not curing cancer, but I am learning more about the world and how I can really make some differences.

I went to www.ubuntu.com today to see about putting Linux on NCS's Compaq Armada m700. There I found a community of developers and an otherwise professional outcropping of the Opensource community. I signed up for my Launchpad account and then ordered my free CDs. I'm quite excited.

Also, I'm beginning to see the floor of my room; I didn't know my carpet was that color. It's the small things in life that really do the most sometimes. A few days ago, my HR professor was having a "no good very bad day" sort of day. We were walking towards the elevator, when it opened up like those cool doors in star trek! Not only that, but when we got in the elevator, the 1st floor button had already been pushed. It's not that big of deal, but when it happens, you feel really cool.

That's all for me right now. I'm going to make it a point to ramble on about pointless crap for a good few paragraphs, every now and again.

Enjoy!

We are Pentium of Borg. Division is futile. You will be approximated.

Had a good time with Kayla and her fam last night. I picked her sister up from the Airport, drove in to PTC, and we all took care of Kayla's mom. She broke her rotator cuff. It was cool to see a family come to take care of the mom. It was probably the first time I felt like I was part of their family, even in a very small sense.

So after going to bed at 5:30 am and waking up around 2:30 pm, I can officially say I had some bad dreams, and I can't remember enough about them to figure out if they had any meaning. that sucks.

I'm goingto go listen to some country music, because it makes me think of Kayla.
