I'm sure no one noticed I was gone, hehe. Anyways, just decided to open up C4D and try a tutorial I found, after a lot of changing to how it was done in the tutorial and a very cool effect from the material, I was pleased. So, just goes to show you, you never know what you can get.

Or Dick Head for short.

Ok, so I was reading in Forbes magazine (not because I read it, because I was taking a massive shit on the toilet and it was all I had to pass the time) and there was an article about Blogs. The article told how they were desctructive, and specifically told of a man that had some special type of chocolate that was going to be bought by Nestle company. This was a multi-million dollar deal. Suddenly, Nestle pulls out, causes this guys stock to crash, and bassically ruined the company. Why? Because some guy claiming to be a British journalist (but giving no proof, using a free email address, and running a Yahoo *free* Blog) claimed there was somethign wrong with the chocolate. Now, at first I thought "wow, sucks for the little business man, I'd find that guy, fly to Britain, and crack some skulls". Then I put some ACTUAL thought into it, and came up with this conclusion.

Theres no fucking way.

Nestle is a multi-milllion (I'd even go as far to say in the billions, who doesnt eat some of their stuff?) coporation ready to down a few million on this guys recipie. They spent months and lots of money on R&D and because some guy who gave no proof claimed that it had a flaw? Bullshit. My point? Blogs arent destructive, human stupidity is. But my issue is that the magazine had a personal section where people called for the silencing of the blogs, or the limitation of them. And I couldnt agree more, I mean, why should people think they have the right to say whatever they want, hell it might catch on and be added to constitution and they might call it something crazy like "Freedom of Speech". Just remember people, words dont hurt, never forget that, always speak your mind and say what you want.

I went to Epcot (one of Disney's fine parks (note the sarcasm)) today for my birthday, my mom took me. It was a lot of fun, the best part was the food:
Lunch: UK Beef Stew
Desert: French Various Pastries and other stuff
After...thing: American Turkey Leg (god, the tourists give me the weirdest looks while I'm walking down holding a huge hunk of meat in my hands... wow, that didnt sound right. On a side note, there is nothing more American than eating the leg of the bird that was supposed to be our nations bird)
Random snacks: Japanese Pocky, some random soda, and those really great rice candy thigns.

Ok, enough about me, heres my 'beef' for the day.

I'm sick of everyone compensation for the spanish speaking people. I'm just fucking sick of it, everything that had instructions on the rides had to be repeated in spanish. The hell? Look, I'm all for cultural diversity, as Americans we are all very narcisistic *self centered* and its good for people to retain what makes them individuals and their culture. But holy shit, you (you being people that require instructions to be bi-lingual) came into a country whose primary language is english, its *supposed to be* a requirement for citizenship of this nation. LEARN THE FUCKING LANGUAGE!!!!!

Ok, no rant here. I'm just bitching.

So I was given a truck from my grandfather, before you go off on me about being spoiled and given my first truck understand that its a pecie of shit. In fact, the only reason it was given to me was because my grandfather needed the space it was parked on. Barely ran, if at all, when I got it, bodies screwed up, so I had a lot of work to do. 2 years later and it just barely runs, but I still cant drive the damned thing down the street.

Had to pull the whole motor, generally to pull, rebuild, and re-install a motor and transmission takes no more than a month, 2 if you stretch it out. 1 and a half years before we even had the motor re-assembled, much less put back in the truck.

Amidst all this, when we finnaly got the engine back into the truck, the oil pan had a leak, ok, no big deal, 1/2 hour job to pull the pan and replace the gasket. Not after doing it FIVE FUCKING TIMES.

So now its today, and the oil leak is fixed, but the truck just runs shitty now. Man I'm pissed. Not like breathing-heavy pissed, like beat-the-shit-out-of-an-inanimate-object pissed...

Sorry, just felt like complaining as I usually do.

Another day, another bit of information beign passed along to other computers in the form of python packets... ok, nevermind.

As I'm sure you may have caught on so far, I like to put funky names for the journal entries... no reason, I just find them entertaining.

Onto the rant:

Everythign is not gay. Just because you lost at a game of Counter Strike does not make your opponent gay. DAMMIT IT PISSES ME OFF. If you dont know what I'm talking about, its the callsign of the new generation X, and I must say I'm not very happy to call them the same species as me. Heres the thing, 'gay', is not a synonym for 'bad'; but people use it like it is. (Although, I cant give them to much credit, these are the same people who think "fo shizzle mai nizzle" is a legitimate response to just about anything). Dammit, just stop it.
