Ten Rules for Being Human by Cherie Carter-Scott 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period. 2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.” 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.” 4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. 5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s n…

We took our first scenenic drive last Sunday. We drove out the Oregon Scenenic Byway. There are several waterfalls, and it runs along the columbia river some of the way. I loaded them to my facebook, so I'm gonna just post a link to that and hope it works... Link. We are still loving Oregon. Shane really likes his new job too. We are pretty sure he will make more money here than his last. Right now he's still on training pay. But by the looks of the loads he's doing now, he should be able to pull in 5-6 a day, at $50 a load. Right now they are pulling in 3-6, but the thing is they are pulling illegal right now (meaning they are loading more fuel than legal.). When he star…

Well, about 2 months ago, my family had to put down our pet cat of 16 years, Missy. She was part of our family my entire life, so obviously it was a big loss. Today, we finally found the kind of kitten we'd been looking for. A female Russian Blue. We decided to name her Chloe. This is random, but I'm just really excited and felt the need to post it. Haha.

Just reading the Telegraph website, on 1 August an explosion happened on the Sun resulting in an extremely strong CME heading in Earth's direction. NASA have warned Britain (Guessing this would effect here too though) of possible blackouts and long periods without communications. Damage to satellites is expected and grids around the world could be too. There is an upside though. This will result in Northern Lights being visible as far as the northern US, Britain and Ireland. SWEET

So yeah, I'm a noob. I'm still learning build orders and whatnot. I usually play as the Protoss online, but I've been wanting to try out the Terrans. So I load up SinglePlayer and proceed to make a 1v1 match against a Medium AI. I'm playing along, doing my thing, learning and s.hit. I build a bunch of Marines and Marauders and send them out scouting. I find his base. I attack. I blow up three or four of his structures. And then my mind is blown. I see on the screen, in the chat panel.... and it says: Player 2: [ALL] gg Player 2 wants to surrender I hadn't even killed the AI yet. I blew up a couple structures and the AI, in the CHAT channel, said "gg", which is short …

So Kirby went to the Vet today for a dental cleaning today. I was in Manhattan and could not get home in time to pick him up before the vet clinic closed at 6pm. .. I called and he is fine .. woke up with ease and is eaten/drinking well. I can pick him up first thing tomorrow morning. .. But . .. I think this is the first night at home Tam and I have spent without him .. and it's .. oddly quiet. Strangely quite. Even though it's only over night I still expect to see him somewhere. .. I don't what it's going to be like for me when I have to put him down. He's 12 or 13 so I know he has a few more years in him . .. but man .. it just seems so lonely here. I don't know how y…

Yesterday, the lifeguards had the red flags flying (which means no swimming because it's not safe conditions), but today they didn't. So my little brother and I went over to the beach this morning at like 10ish and were out in the water boogie boarding and swimming. The current was pretty strong today though. And I saw a spot down past where we were swimming that looked like a riptide. So I pointed it out to my little brother and we were just cautious to stay up current from it. Well, it's the summer, so there are a ton of tourists on the beach, and there was this one maybe, 7 or 8 year old little boy. He was on a tube for most of the time we were there but I'm no…

Joystiq, one of the last I respected, now has sunk super low. http://www.joystiq.com/2010/08/05/kinect-enabled-xbl-indie-games-still-up-in-the-air/ Notice that gamertag in the image? Notice that poorly photoshopped Kinect at the bottom right of it? Yeah, that was Assassin10k's image from his own website. They willingly covered up his watermark, in order to use the image. FU Dtard. FU Kraptaco and now, FU Joystiq. Choke on the swag you're always bragging about.

Awesome. I'd go see it. LoL

Hi folks! Allow me to introduce you to Melodi Dushane. See that sad face? Those pouty eyes? It's because she couldn't get her McNuggets.... ... at the drive through window of McDonald's....... ... AT SIX THIRTY IN THE MORNING. (i.e. "breakfast") TOLEDO, Ohio -- Police said a Toledo woman punched through a McDonald's drive-through window because she couldn't get Chicken McNuggets. Police were called to the restaurant on Friday, when Melodi Dushane, 24, allegedly became upset because chicken nuggets weren't available. Police said Dushane was treated for injuries, then jailed. She was released on a recognizance bond and ordered not to have contact with the restaura…

Fox News "Navarro, the cat found marinating in the trunk of a car, gets to use another of its nine lives. And he gets a new owner -- and a new name, too. Vickie Dankowski, of Cheektowaga in upstate New York, read about the cat in the newspaper and says she immediately wanted to adopt him -- and call him Oliver. “My sister and I went over to the SPCA and interacted and played with Oliver for a few hours and then started the adoption process,” she said. The 4-year-old feline was rescued Sunday from 51-year-old Gary Korkuc, who was preparing the cat as a meal by “marinating” him in oil and peppers in the trunk of his car. Police officers made the discovery during a traffic…

Wow, this reads like a college essay, but it's HILARIOUS. LoL http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Got_Back Synopsis: In the opening verse, Sir Mix-A-Lot professes his affinity for large buttocks and his inability to disguise this fact from others. He goes on to describe other desirable physical attributes such as a trim waistline, tight fitting garments, and unblemished skin. Though the song does not contain a distinct narrative, the author does visit upon recurrent themes such as female body image as depicted in media, male attitudes towards dating and relationships, and the author’s own sexual prowess. In later verses he expresses his exasperation with the entertainment…

...and looky what one of the other questions is for the Fallout Video Games. LoL!!! What happens when two gingers reproduces together do the mutant genes cancel out or combine to make like a super mutant like xmen?

First look at this... http://www.accuweather.com/us/il/bloomington/61704/city-weather-forecast.asp Then think about the air conditioner at our house breaking... I am so going to a friends apartment today. lol

So Stealthy has been bugging me about getting a Mic for my PC. LoL I haven't had one, and I've been using a really crappy pair of earbuds from an old MP3 player on my PC in the evenings when Coy was sleeping. Hit up Best Buy today and ended up getting a set of these. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/computer/gaming-headsets/gamecom-377 On sale, unopened for $19.99! What d'ya think? Good buy? I think I like them so far. Pretty comfortable and sound actually decent even though they're only a stereo set and not "surround".

Only if you want too that is It's my photography blog. I update the photos daily, it's part of my therapy so to speak. I'm still adding stuff to it, but for the most part what I have up there is up to date. Some of my older photos aren't on there, because of my situation and I don't want to look at them. It's just a reminder...but there is alot of bright colored stuff on there now. No more negatives! Linky Click on my gallery for all of the photos

A group of Russian nerds have started what I believe is one of, if not the, weirdest cult ever. I can't even begin to comprehend this: What the heck?!

This is awesome. hahaha My favorite is the Ben Franklin one.

So I need a production tag for those hot beats I put out. I have the phrase I want to use, but I need someone else to say it. Be warned, there is one extremely vulgar word in it. Any help would be appreciated.

...after reading the reviews on a few places I found out that the PS3 versions has MORE content!? WTF? Seriously? That really upsets me that they do crap like this, especially because the PS3 version is apparently noticeably not as good looking as the PC/360 versions. This is just a blip from Destructoid: The PlayStation 3 Advantage While for this review I played the game to its completion on the PlayStation 3, I spent some time with both the Xbox 360 and PC versions for comparison. It needs to be said upfront that the PS3 version of Mafia II is the least visually impressive of the bunch, missing a number of subtle game effects that were pulled from the game, reported…

Well, for anyone and everyone who's ever been stuck in traffic.
