I hate Facebook (and other interesting things)…

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

OK, Facebook has this interesting feature whereby they (after getting the proper information) log into your email, and find out who of your contacts are already part of Facebook. Great, right? Well, after that, they ALSO offer to notify the REST of your contacts (the one’s who arn’t part of Facebook already). And it defaults to them all being messaged. Well, needless to say, one miss-click, and my ENTIRE FREAKIN’ CONTACT LIST (which is large, to say the least) got spammed with my Facebook invite. So, Facebook, I hate you. I hate you like George Bush Jr. hates the SATs. I hate you like Paris Hilton hated her virginity. I hate you harder then Superman’s abs. I hate you.

Just want to give a quick shout-out to the good folks over at Flock.com. They make one hell of a browser (keep up the good work gang!). Thanks a lot to my friend Paul for reminding me just how good they are. Now, if they’d only integrate with Myspace (and let the Blogging Client cross-post to it too!), they’d be golden!

Just thought it’d be nice to send some more music out there, so here’s another piece I’ve written over the years, it’s a string quartet piece that’s currently played electronically. Free, in low bitrate, dialup friendly glory! :) Click and enjoy (or not, your call :D )!

In other news, I loves me some Guitar Hero, er, Frets on Fire, rather.

I was recently lucky enough to happen upon a X-Plorer for $16 (a gentlemen was being offered $15 for it at Gamestop, I upped the ante :D ). Ironically, I got it the same day I got my other piece of news. Speaking of which…

It’s odd. When I think of Amanda, I don’t really feel like it’s Over. Instead, I feel really at peace, like I’m biding my time or something. I don’t know if it’s just some self defense mechanism (as opposed to opening itself to depression, maybe my brain has decided that I’ll deal with this better), or if I’m subconsciously picking up on something she’s doing/saying (it’s kind of nice, her siblings seem to be rooting for her to get back with me instead of this other fellow), or what’s going on. But, well, I have hope (and interestingly, this feels different from my previous “hope” with Deanna; it’s less about what I’m losing (in terms of my son and such forth), and more about her specifically), and as humans, is there really much more that we require for basic mental sustenance (surely not for health, but just to “get by” mentally)? And the weird part is, it’s not a desperate hope. It’s, well, more inexorable. Likely just my brain trying to take care of me, but it’s still a nice feeling. I can safely say that this is the best breakup with a girl that I really cared about that I’ve ever had. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not happy that we broke up. But it just feels so… temporary for some reason. Yeah, I know I’m weird. But that’s why you folks read me, right? ;)

‘Till next time, my dear readers, I thank you for your time, your support, and your interest. Adieu, and good night!

Easy come, easy go…

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

I suppose such is life, eh? Today, Amanda and I broke up. :( It’s a depressing thing, but such is life. It wasn’ t a bloody break up or anything, she just… well, there was something going on that neither of us knew about before we started dating (if any close friends want to know more, feel free to call me using the form at the bottom of the page). If things change, maybe we’ll get back together, but if not, we’re still friends. :)

And now for a SLIGHTLY better version of Amanda’s song…

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Yup, you read right! While the previous version of Amanda’s song “Nevada Rose” was pretty sweet, this new version sounds like its STRAGHT off the Casio. So, uh, someday, maybe I’ll get the equipment to have something that… uh, doesn’t sound like hell. ;)

But anyway, please, if you are into self-inflicted pain, Download and Enjoy!

Oh, and if you can’t understand the words (quite likely considering the mic), here they are!
