damn it all to hell

I bought the computer. I just really don't enjoy being limited with this laptop after using my dad's computer and Johnathan's laptop. I need power. I need maximum power.

Here are the specs:

* Hans-G HW191D 19" Wide/5ms/700:1/WXGA 1440x900/DVI/Widescreen LCD Monitor
* Intel D945GPMLKR Socket 775
* Intel Pentium D 840
* CPU fan
* MicroATX case
* 500 watt power supply
* Microsoft XP Pro with SP2 (too much money if you ask me)
* AeroCool SilverBlade II 80mm LED Case Fan
* OCZ XTC Gold 1024MB PC 5400 DDR2 667MHz Gamer Memory

Yeah, I know it is a bit outdated, but it is much faster than my aging, but quite capable laptop.

back in school

Well, I'm back in school with no PS2 and no TV. No, I'm going to make myself go crazy. I still have the precious PSP with me to keep me company. Hopefully I will be more focus and less distracted this year. Yes, even with my PS2 last year, I was still able to crank out great grades (except for that World Geography class). But I really have to focus so that I can mayble get a decent job after I graduate. Eh, hopefully it will work.

I'm still tempted to buy parts for a new PC. This time with the brand spanking new Core 2 chip. But I'm going to buy a PS3 first. From the looks of it, you can hook up the PS3 to a monitor. I'm just assuming from the video of the user interface on IGN. Hopefully it is true.

Well I have to go and start doing homework. It's only 3:36pm but I want to get things done early so that I can play Metal Gear Acid again.

wency the selfish grouch

I've gotten really pissed off for the past couple of days. Maybe it is because I'm a dumbass or maybe it is because I'm leaving for school again which will impede my cash flow. I don't know, but I'm just pissed. I was pissed at my dad yesterday for almost getting into a crash with a RAV4. I was pissed on the day of my birthday because Daniel wanted me to remember how to do that stupid fucking awning (which of course was installed improperly by Benny, the guy who ran away....lol).

I was pissed today because we had to go to mass and I was not tired but sleepy. The mass came close to three hours long because our father was named pastor of the church. The homily was so goddamn boring because the bishop kept on saying the same thing over and over again. What I hate the most is that my time is being spent. I don't have a lot of time to do anything anymore. Look at today. I went to work, came back, took a one hour but disrupted nap, ate dinner, went to mass, and now I'm on the internet getting ready for bed. Don't tell me this is how life is where the only redemption is on the weekends. Now I know how Mama feels.

But I finally realized that I'm getting too selfish. I need to stop my bickering and enjoy life because I won't have one after I finish college.

I looked up my roommates and it seems like I'll be living with two freshman and a sophmore. Dammit. I could have gotten an apartment. I hope they are not fucked up in the head or else this year will be hell.
