Frivolous At Heart

This is ridiculous because I had to purchase (10 of them) my own IDE cables. I’m building three systems to order and the motherboards came with one IDE cable and a lot more SATA cables than needed! Why didn’t they include a second IDE cable for the CD-ROM? Why??! I think times has changed and everything is converting over to SATA hardware: real fast and easy installation. I’d admit, there are a lot more IDE hardware out there then SATA. It’s going to take another 5yrs+ before they rid of IDE cables all together I’d suspect. Anywho, I’m building an AMD Athlon X2 system (single-core). Dual-core isn’t called for in this application and for what it’s running, it’s way beyond need of dual-core technology. I’m still using single-core. Albeit, sometimes I needed the exta “umh” but 95% of the time, I don’t. So not worth investing in!

Besides the build, Intel is tearing AMD to shreds with their introduction of the Core 2 Duo processor with the addition of large L2 cache in the summer of 2006. Intel’s chip is running at 65 W but without the integrated DDR2 memory control which is an integral part of every AMD Athlon’s processors ability to crunch data. Running at 85 W, the AMD chip runs hotter than Intel’s Core 2 Duo. Even with the AMD 3.0GHz Athlon 64 X2, still can’t beat the Intel’s chip on benchmarks. Both companies are lowering their processor prices to LOW LOW prices to compete with each other though but I’m still stuck on AMD because of it’s unrivaled reliability.

I’m so exhausted. I have two sisters who are done with their Doctorates in Pharmacy- finally! Lets go out there and make lots of money for the first 3yrs and pay back student loans- yippie! Lord it was exhausting. Two days of graduation ceremonies. The Doctorate title entitles them to their own special ceremony which was placed on a Friday, then the next day everyone graduates as one uber large group!

It was fun! I had a lot of foods and drinks to keep me awake plus not to mention the Hilton with the snooty pool and bus fair lalala! The Hilton we stayed at wasn’t that nice or maybe the suite we were in was crappy? Who knows? All I know is if you tried kicking the door down in them rooms- you would probably brake a leg or three! Solid oak or maybe metal!!! I had a hard time closing the darn door let alone try to open it with the finicky key cards.

I swear down in PBA, there were so many coconuts that I wanted to pick them to take them home. I bet the city has their minions once a year around this time to come and cut them off and throw them away! What a waste! I wanted a few coconuts. Is that too much to ask for? Hell, I’ll even climb up the tree myself to get to them! All the coconut trees were of course, near the beach (Atlantic side) and the water was beautiful! Blues, greens, and sapphires!!! Can’t afford those homes down there! You’d have to be billionaires to afford the living those fortunates are able to attain! Coodoes to them!

I had Verizon come install their fiber optic internet connection. It’s blazing fast! With roadrunner, I was able to download a 1.23GIG file within 45mins but with fiber, it cut the download speed down to only 35mins. Not bad! The upload speed is 130kb+ (rr is only 45maxed). That is extremely fast considering how cheap the service is. 40USD per month but they have a special for 30USD per month for six months! I’m loving the speed! Everything loads up faster and it’s making the internet experience a lot more pleasant and bearable.

This is kind of funny but whats up with wheel studs just breaking on ya? My buddy had a flat tire so I stopped on by and checked it out. Little did I know, he had broken all three studs trying to take them out to change the flat that he had. I was in for some fun!!! I think the reason why it broke was because it’s old and most importantly, it gets over-torqued.

So I drove him around town getting all five new studs, a portable jack, and his compressor. We needed the compressor to seat the new studs. Over-torque the hell out of it and loosen the lugs and re-torque them to spec. I did all the work of course. If I had let him do it, It would have taken the whole day. Took me a little over 30mins to do it. God this makes me want to get a small portable compressor- not just for those flat tires but for the “WTF just happened, I need a compressor” moments.

In the end, we went to Wing House and drank up! The girl that was waiting on our table was a little naughty (lol). I was getting ready to pour the beer and she was like, “hunie, let me do that for you- eer it’s what I’m good at”. Witty person that I am, I replied, “what else are you, ummm good at sugar”. She also said, “you guys are not here for the wings okay”. We joked… It was fun.. She was frank. Oh yeah, my buddy said, “I love you bro! Don’t know what wtf I would do without your help”… Hahaha I can’t say how many times I’ve heard that… All my boyfriends say that to be- I’m always there for them when shit hits the fan. Shit, my girlfriends say that too hahaha. I’m loved by many but sweetly loved by one girl lalalala. I’m Cau7 BITCH!

Got to fit in my crotch hugging pant this weekend… Dieting Dieting! I can do it I can do it!

Sweet isn’t exactly my nature. Sweetness in subtle nature is sweetness to one’s core. So demanding. I want to make it work but it has gotten sour by the looks of it. Sometimes a [thank you] should be understood and rather not spoken. I’m not a vocal person when it comes to etiquette. The person should know well that my blessings are to to have their company- isn’t that enough? Not enough for others but enough for me. There is an odd ideology to this deep understanding but I digress and not everyone should understand.

I knew in the beginning that with our matching nature to transcend our feelings to the roots of the earth, no one shall give leeway: none shall give leeway towards each other. One misunderstanding will lead to more misjudgments and result in two egos clashing into one another with neither side complementing each other- stalemate. No compromises. I’m a hardy person- both people are hardy by nature. Each holds their own.

When theses situations arise, I walk away. She walked away first. Now I’m walking away. Do I care? Of course I did but to that point suddenly there was a dip. Now I don’t have the apathy to care no longer. I have foreseen this. Thus why I have not committed. True if you love someone, you will change gradually for the better of both parties- it’s natural but time waits for no one. I wait for no one. I rinsed my hands and dusted my feet. I am done.

“You are calm. You’ve ached for me of no good reason. Now that I’ve helped you strengthen your heart, decide what you want of of me. Make this decision wise as ever. You now can receive my love.”

Just friends; heartening yes but it is for the best for fools are left with nothing.

I swear there are a lot of ignorant drivers out there. I read his lips and he said something to the extent of “You Fucking Asshole” etc bla bla bla. Why may you ask? Because he’s a jack-ass no good for nothing ignorant son-of-a-bitch! He thinks I should give him right-of-way just because he’s been sitting for 30 seconds trying to turn left.

First of all, you have to realize this is a two lane and second, I’m in more danger stopping and turning simply because it’s a two lane road! Not to mention the traffic that I’ll be hold up just to make the turn! I don’t like to be held up when people turn and I’m sure others don’t either. So you try if all possible, when making a turn like I am, to not completely stop unless it’s necessary. We’ve all been in this situation. Hell what makes it ironic is I’ve been in that guys shoes (the yellow car) before. Trying to make a left onto on-coming traffic. I get help up too when someone needs to turn in. Sometimes I’m sitting like him for a good minute but you don’t see me flicking people off and calling people names! Seriously, … WTF?

BTW I’m the dark blue car trying to turn-in into a shopping plaza. Jackass is the yellow car. He needs a chill pill dammit. I see drivers like him ALL the time! Getting mad for no apparent reason(s). When I’m on the road, I let shit like this “SLIDE” just because’. You never know what kinda phsyco you’ll meet head-to-head with. You could lose a life over something just as stupid if not even damn retarded like this. Cut me off? Flick me off? Honk at me for no reason? Let it slide! Not worth it! Only time I honk is when I’m almost to the point of being ran over or to let someone know they can come into my lane followed with a courteous wave of the hand of course.

The women in the house like to walk outside for a few seconds and leave the door wide open for no apparent reason. I ask them what is the nature on why they need the door open? They don’t know or are just all claiming to play coy to avoid a bitching… Why must I bitch? Because of this sucker:

There seems to be an influx of mosquitoes when the women are running to and fro to their car at night. I don’t get it? Why leave the damn door open when you are going to run out real quick? Makes no sense. Leaving the door open is similar to the door being a lighthouse with a large beacon to lead them back into the house else they’d get lost? That’s my take on it so I’ll stick to it. OMG drives me crazy. They don’t have to deal with all the bugs and mosquitoes- I have to because the office is right by the front door. Women!

Again, I was at Lowes and was looking into purchasing a brad nailer. Build bird houses and etc. I originally picked a Hitachi NT50AE2 to use for miscellaneous projects. This model shoots 2″ brad nails and I’m thinking to myself, “Do I really need something like such?”.

So I asked the associate that was helping me at the time for his recommendation(s). He asked me what I was using it for and if it was for everyday usage and I said just bird houses etc every now-n-then. He said, “The hell you buying this for??! This model shoots 2″ brad nails and it’s way too expensive for making bird houses for your type of use”. He gave it to me straight. Made sense because the Hitachi model costs 80USD while the Black*Decker costs 20USD less. If I were to use it for everyday use, he would recommend the Hitachi for longevity and quality but since I’m not using it everyday, I’ll buy the cheapo one. Basically he saved me a lot of money and so I drove on home all happy and thinking about how proud I am that I saved so much mula!

Can’t knock on BLACK&DECKER now… They aren’t that bad. I know because I had owned a drill made by them before. It was an 18V drill that lasted for a good 4 years until the battery went bad. I could have purchased a new battery but that would have been almost half the price of a new one. Figured 4 years of reliable use- errh, I deserve a new drill. At that time, I had the first Firestorm 18V drills BLACK&DECKER came out with. On a side note, they do make Dewalts, you know,… the drills we all want but can’t afford? I personally don’t care for Dewalts. I’m very satisfied with my Ryobi. Hell almost everything I have is made by Ryobi.

EDIT: 12/23/07
I like this better than my Porter Cable brad nailer. My brother gave me it and it works good, packs a nice punch- literally! I ear drums are in pain! The Black&Decker is smooth and accurate; very nice to my ear drums and has not failed me. Though the associate said to purchase this liberal usage; I have used this everyday and I love it more than my Porter Cable. Light and fits my fancy!
