  • 120 hours non stop..

    time ticks away, and my head continues to fill with strange thoughts.i hate being put in positions that mean i have to make a decision that will affect the rest of my life. the first of its kind was the decision whether or not i wanted to stay in school, or go to college. wow, that seems so long ago now. well, it was! and along the journey i call life, i have had to make similar decisions such as whether or not to leave my job, and go work for bill (which was a fucking mistake) and again, i am in one of those positions, and im shitting myself.

    i have the opportunity to work 5 days a week 24 hours a day. so a week, NON STOP. what i would be doing, is id be working on maxxd in the day, then from about 3 or 4 o’clock, id go to a security job, on which i can sleep. so i wouldn’t go home for a week! now this all sounds a bit too much, and the thought of not seeing my own bed for a whole week makes me sad. but if i dont do something soon im gonna burst. i feel myself being sucked into the norm.. routine.. 9-5.. i dont just want to be a number. and i guess the thing im worried about more than anything, is telling the people here at mmx3. i dont want to feel ive let them down, and i dont want to leave them in the shit. but iΒ defiantlyΒ dont want to stay here, and join the queue for a normal life. im not normal, and i dont want to be normal. i want to be me, and i want people to know me. so ill do whatever it takes to get where i want to be.

    and if that means working 120 hours a week non stop, then so be it.

    fucking dreading it tho!

  • ipod’s – more than just a mp3 player?

    Venice Beach, CA. Revere Greist, an amateur bike racer in Los Angeles, said his iPod likes the rapper 50 Cent — and perhaps more importantly, that it knows exactly the right time to play 50 Cent’s most famous song, “In Da Club.”

    haha, i was checkin out the register, when i stumbled on a review on the ipod shuffle. i started reading it and half way down there is a bit about how ipods can sence stuff, and prefer different types of music?

    absalute garbage u say?

    i feel quite stupid saying this, but i dont no if its bollocks or not!

    here is a quote from the NYT website:

    “Revere Greist, a doctoral student and amateur bicycle racer in Los Angeles, has concluded that his iPod’s Shuffle command favors the rapper 50 Cent – and perhaps more important, that it knows exactly the right time to play 50 Cent’s biggest hit, “In Da Club.” He finds the dramatic beat, coupled with the lyrics “Go Shorty, it’s your birthday,” inspirational.”

    now i own a ipod, and it obviously has a shuffle option on it, and i have to say that a lot of the time i wonder if it does pick specific tracks out, as the same 50 or so tracks get played ALL the time?!

    but thinkin about it logically, it cannot be true, so it must be conicidence.

    there are a lot of people saying that their ipod (for example) like rap music, but on further investigation 8 out of 10 tracks on the person ipod would be rap music, so its hardly coincidence!

    but it does remain a mystery, as mine DOES appear to prefer types of music! πŸ™‚

  • some important things.

    firstly, i have made the switch from MS internet explorer, to mozilla firefox. im 90% happy with firefox, there are a few things that annoy me about it, but im sure ill get over them. i have also switched to mozilla thunderbird for my email, it seems better, has a built in anti-spam thing that is about as effective as ihatespam (which i was using before). so pretty happy, and would reccommend it to anyone! oh, and my admin side on my blog appears to work properly now!

    another thing is that i have ordered a norml te-shirt.Β www.norml.org. go there it speaks for its self, and is something i support 100% πŸ™‚

    its early again, and im yawning. so sleep is imminent.

    im gonna go see jah once more, then bed πŸ˜‰
