zomg no power

today has been really interesting. i had no power as of 3am due to some wicked ice storm.

it went out at 3am so i went to bed thinking no big deal. woke up and it was still off. i haven't done nothing for a whole day straight. literally though, aside from doing homework in the freezing cold i sat under a blanket by the fire in the living room and just thought. it was weird. later we got hungry and were tired of cooking stuff over the fire. yes...we used the fire to cook. soup, coffee, hot chocolate, and bread. my family knows how to survive. after scraping a 2inch layer of ice off my car for an hour my dad and i went to pizza hut. took forever to get there because of the roads but it was nice.

it is odd to see everything still for once. no power. trees not moving. no one out. really cool too. all the trees are covered in ice and dangerously sagging due to the weight.

fortunately, some of our friends invited us over so we could watch american idol and take some hot showers. a hot shower means a lot when you think about it. especially when the temperature of your house creeps down to the outside temps.

after we left and got ready to bundle in for the night, the power came back on, and here i am.
being warm and blogging.

sleeping in

i need to stop sleeping in on saturdays. it makes me feel like a lazy bum. i need to set a cap @ 9.30am. for real. kinda feels like it's getting outta hand. when i get up @ noon then have to be at work around 4 it leaves me no time to really do anything. i can't get too far into something because then ill have to just get up and leave.

new years resolution addition.

get up early.
even if i do go to bed late.
and...suck it up.



this is going to be [h]ard.

two eighty five

it's been a good day.

minus, going pale and almost losing my cookies in the pool during beginning swimming (keep in mind i swam nationally for 10 years) ... yea.

coming home to a nice package filled with goodies. two of those being the wonderful nvidia geforce 285 video cards. they are quite yummy. crysis has never looked so good. very high settings and anti-aliasing pumped all the way up is splendid to look at. even my dad was impressed, and I don't think he's ever played a video game.

after this.
i went to an art show
then
to subway
then
i watched american idol (hilarious as always)
then
i watched my new favourite tv show called Lie to Me. it is going to be amazing.
no joke.

now i am here.

i forgot

i forgot to blog.

too much free time.

100 days done

lol

brandt russo

i came across this video that is just amazing.



there are amazing people left in the world.

lighting schemes

a while back I changed up the lighting scheme in my room to accomodate for the extra monitor that I have on my computer. I wanted to alleviate the problem of eye strain that I was experiencing during long sessions of gaming and computer use.

but, what I think is happening is that it is affecting my mood. I think lighting tends to have this affect on me. If someplace that I am going to doesn't have good lighting or a cool feel to it right off the bat (right when i step in the door) then I don't like where i am.

I think this is what is happening to me. It is a weird mood, as if the lights are affecting my thought process. since most of my time is spent working on something at my command center (computer) it affects me outside of what I am doing too. it's weird I know. probably slightly crazy, but I am myself and someone else is their self. (that didnt make sense) ... I am telling you, this lighting is messing with me.

Ill change it up a bit the next time I feel like moving stuff around, then I will repost to see if I get any different results.





also. a computer should not be called a computer anymore. it should be called an information processor...but, we live in america, and changing our minds on something that we have been saying for so long...just wouldnt happen. sadly.
