What life? The real one!

Alright I've been told I need to write about my real life in my blog from my friend and really I've been considering it. I figure I'll try it. I'll also try and keep some of my shallow facade technical stuff. Firstly to ease into it Rick & I have been working on writing a high-level easy to understand explanation of what my application is going to be. I'm really bad at trying to explain what I want an application to do. I've also made a few new friends at school lately, firstly one in my first two hours. She's pretty nice and quite intelligent. I was very intrigued to see that in debating evolution and what not, she had a basis in which to debate off of. Further more there is this gal in my gym class who seems to be trying to dry hump me at every angle. I find it rather humorous to see her try and explain her being attracted to me with out stating it. I've acutely between reading about psychology and seeing this in person; been able to note when people are flirting and what not. When you get down to it, it's really quite a few simple obvious things. Currently life is perusing on at a constant velocity and yet, nothing is truly eventful. I called out one of my teachers today for being so power-hungry. He was talking about how we're obedient when substitutes are present and I said something along the lines of "Yeah I believe all the excessive yelling and over use of your whistle has stuck with us" and mind you this guy must love just yelling at his students. I've formed a residency in my Health class which has a population of three (it's truly just a table that I try and get people to sit at). The joke is I might bring in food and band aids to say we have free food and health care. The problem with this last statement is the work to make that happen, quite frankly it's a lot of time to schedule something as minuscule as that, funny none-the-less. I've found Google's SMS service rather amazing. I now can text message Google's wonderful little SMS number and ask it what the weather is in my area which for a weather freak like me is very amazing. I have a ton of things I've done but I'm not sure I want to be Mr. Verbose so I think I'll call it a show, thanks for watching.

So I have a car.

Well, I have a car. An Acura Legend `88 in prime condition and what a car she is. I've probably as of this post driven it around for 3 or so hours and I love it. I really don't know what else to say that's the huge highlight of my week. You can look at the pictures here . Well I guess I can state more. I've joined a corporation in Eve and will be co-leading it I presume, Eve is really a lot of fun again. I have upgraded to a Caracal which is just a 101 times better than my old Kestrel. Also I've been working on the corporations website and I plan on writing a Java Eve Roster application which should prove interesting to write. Oh yes, here is what I wanted to mention, I've gotten on the Ubuntu and switched to Mandriva, last time I tangled with Mandriva it was okay but now it's amazing. Everything I needs works, and get this Eve premium and my microphones work correctly again. Some of the highlights of Mandriva is the repositories and how much more fine-tuned it is for the end user. By that I mean it has a ton of configuration tools and well pre-configured layouts and also a Global menu which finally allows me to easily have both KDE and Gnome, currently I'm using KDE which is a switch up from normal. I must say the way Mandriva has KDE configured is very clean and effective. I've been tangling with Ratchet & Clank for the PS3 lately which has proved a lot of fun. Let me return to the cleaning my car subject, I had the privileged to use a power washer after I soap/waxed the beast. That was quite a bit of fun. I guess I lost my blogging train of thought, oh well that seems to cover it all any who.
