  • Nothing much to say...

    It's the new year and I have nothing much to say. I have a song stuck in my head that has no meaning to any person outside from myself. I thought I would share the lyrics with you all:

    Life Without You - Submersed

    Take a look at me
    What do you see?
    You think you know the pain in my life
    You think you know the pain in my eyes
    How could you know?
    You're not in this life
    Without you

    Release this man
    Release this man
    I'll fight through all of my troubles
    Because I wanted more
    I needed more
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like

    So how longs it been
    Since we've been friends
    I thought I've been
    This time in my life (Time in my life)
    It's changing my life (Changing my life)
    So lets sacrfice
    Without

    Release this man
    I'll fight through all of my troubles
    Because I wanted more
    I needed more
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like

    I leave behind all my struggles
    Because I wanted more
    I needed more
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like

    Yeah

    Please let go of me
    Let go of me
    Let go of me
    Let go of me
    Let go of me

    I'll fight through all of my troubles
    Because I wanted more
    I needed more
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like

    I leave behind all my struggles
    Because I wanted more
    I needed more
    You'll never know
    What this life feels like
    You'll never know what this life feels like
    You'll never know what this life feels like

    (So mythical
    I'm missing those
    The size of those
    Who's in my heart?
    The size of those of who's in my heart
    The stars reside without you)

  • Keep Your Computer Interesting - Software

    I read a lot of articles on technical websites and I try to keep myself up-to-date with the latest and greatest hardware and software in the industry. I own a custom made PC with Windows XP and Ubuntu on it and I always want to know what I can use on it to make my life more productive or 'pimp out my PC' 

    I have gone through this year downloading and trying out software that has helped me or was just awful. After many trial and error runs with different software on the web, here are some suggestions that I would suggest downloading and trying for yourself.

    --------------------

    'Launchy' This - If you are a Mac user, you have a similar program called Quicksilver which is simply brilliant and can help you run things on your Mac without the use of a mouse. After playing with this application at work, I wanted something similar for a windows OS so I found Launchy which isn't as powerful as Quicksilver but a great alternative to the Mac version. The premise of the Launchy application is to let you run information from your computer without using the mouse, keyboard only. The one problem is Launchy is you might need to read up on the documentation on how to run certain things but mostly you can find everything you need in the "Advanced Options" section of the application to customize it to your liking. Check out Launchy's website here for more details.

    --------------------

    Vista Your XP - Now, for all you XP users out there still using this OS, upgrading to Vista seems to be a waste of money and effort during these hard times but I found a simple and costly (disk space wise) application that could during your hard drives into Vista looking icons. Vista Drive Icon is an open source Windows XP only application that just changes your icons for drives and also gives a nice idea of how much space you have left on them as well. It won't improve your life that much but fun to have none the less. Check out Vista Drive Icon website here

    --------------------

    'Fliqlo' Saver - I was always tired of the same old screensavers for windows and it was hard to find a third party screensaver which was different and wasn't packed with viruses. I found a nice old school clock with flip digits screensaver which is virus free (most important thing) and gives your screensaver a new lift in creativity. No more 3D Pipes for you my friend  Check out the Fliqlo screensaver at 9031.com's site.

    --------------------

    I do hope any or all of these software applications suggested today help you with whatever you want to do for your personal computer. I personally enjoy them and I sure hope you enjoy them as well

  • Hug an Emo!!!

    Friendship is where you like someone but not enough to go further in that relationship; It is to be there for someone when others are not around to help or lift someone’s spirits when they are down; Knowing how someone feels before you ask and knowing what to do; etc...

    I find myself writing this blog because I feel like I hit a low point in my life. A life that isn’t going terrible but I’m noticing things about my life that I’ve been doing since high school. I find myself finding people that I enjoy talking to but fade away in time as we grow apart (with distance or personal reasons). 

    As I have been growing up, I always told myself and others that I don’t need steady friends in my life because I could always make new ones in the end. As I went to Germany and down to Indiana for college, I noticed that it became harder and harder for me to keep up with the friends I made and of course moved on to the next group of people. This also goes for my relationship situations as well. I feel like I couldn’t stay with one person along enough to fully understand them and the smallest thing that goes wrong would break it all off. I think at the time that I did all these things is because it was the easiest way to not deal with disappointment, failure, heart ache of a friendship/relationship. Even though I have felt many feelings over the years I have been around (that’s right, I cry and care like everyone else), I just can’t seem to bare knowing that my friend would think of me negatively or have to hold their feelings for something I did. Moving on to others is like starting with a clean paper, starting over. This path I know is wrong and I have been trying to improve that in my life.

    Now that I’m 25 and lost a lot of important people not in my family, I find it even more confusing then ever to try and keep friends. I have like two people that I know if I started talking with them, they would love to just listen to me. It goes both ways. I find with others that I have known for awhile or that I’ve just met back up again our days in Germany that I might be over doing being a ‘friend’. Is that even possible, being overly friendly to someone and them hating you for it? Would anyone not want a person to be a friend for you when you need it the most? I feel that since I’m so late in the game of being a friend that I forgot how to really play and I fall back into my old ways of making friends and falling away. It’s a vicious cycle that I keep falling back on. 

    All these thoughts and feelings I’m expressing could all be a day thing. Everything could just pass long like nothing happened and I go back to my old self. I’m the person that people can pretend to be my friend and just play along with the game. I’m just a little bitter right now and I think staying at home a lot on a weekend and knowing that I have no one to go out with is just getting to me :(

    “Everyone feels, even emo people. I say go hug a emo person because that’s all they really want.” (hehehe)

About Me

  • Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
