listening to: Anadivine - The Timid Gentlemen

its pouring right now! and all of a sudden i got really hot and tired, i mean what the freak. i got off work early today because they had nothing left for me to work on, and i was done with everything else i was working on. i got my liteon burner today and its awesome... loud, bull crap, people are mest. im still waiting on my lovedrug album and copeland t-shirt, kinda pissed how slow they are. tomorrow i guess my family and i are going to some resort for the weekend, so i guess that should be kewl. the greaser (carl) came over and we played a lil red alert 2. it was a close game... i won though. w00t w00t. too bad if tom was playing we would have all lost almost instantly. thats about it for today.

Listening to: Copeland - She Changes Her Mind

i am just a lil tired today, shouldn't have stayed up till 4. 'smart dan, real smart.' oh well. life goes on. i lose track of time when im working on computer imaging/web design very easily. I was working on an anadivine wallpaper, you can check it out at frozenglow.deviantart.com if you wish. i think they are one of my favorite bands, along with like 50 others. i am definatly looking forward to receiveing my mail today.... i ordered the lovedrug album along with a copeland t-shirt off of themilitiagroup's website. good stuff. more music to add to the collection, thats what i say. i really need to get crackin on the kennedy union site. i keep putting it off; maybe because i work almost full time at wris. i was thinking maybe i should post the current song i am listen to while i type this thing... yeah i will. highly recommend checking out any song i post.

"This drive is extremely noisy (sounds like a plane)" - newegg customer

i just bought a new lite-on burner for 25 bucks off newegg. i need a new one, i think my old 12x TDK is a goner. i hope this drive is as good as most reviewers said it was, even though most said it was a loud burner. i could care less if it was as loud as an air horn for the time it takes to burn a cd on a 52x burner. lite-on is a good company for burners (so i hear). well we will find out in a few days when it arrives. 25 buck with free shipping is a steal of a deal; i was only kind of disappointed to find out they only have black colored drives. oh well, as long as i can burn my cds with quality and speed im happy. no matter how loud it is for those 2 minutes.

the rest of my day was pretty good. same old same old.

well. here i am trying a new thing; an online journal, blog. to tell the truth i've never really got into reading or writing blogs. i mean, whats the point? so people all over the world can read what you did that day!? It is quite creepy, as my freind tom would say. i guess thats what makes it cool. oh well, ill give it a shot. to spend a few minutes spilling your mind with your recent thoughts might actually be a good thing... at least for me. i really don't know how this would be helping anyone else. here we go, my life on the web...
