12:34 am	Traveling home last night...or Assholes of the World Unite! I was riding home tonight and I saw what I thought was a cop car behind me. So I changed into the right lane to make sure the cop would know I knew he was there and not ghost me trying to give me a ticket. When the car pulls up to me it's two people about 20 years old, one male one female. The guy give me the thumbs up I thought he wanted me to rev my engine a bit, so I did and as I did he was lowering the window and it scared the crap out of the girl. He then said "What's up man???" I was like "Not much, how are you doing?" he was like "Good Good. So listen I wanted to know if you were interested in dating this girl sitting next to me". I laughed heartily. She turns to me and says "Please ignore him he's an asshole." Then he adds "So how about it man, $50 for her" now I'm cracking up and she slaps him a few times. I turn back to them and say "I dunno man $50 seems kind of high, how about $25". Her jaw dropped to the floor and she was totally speechless. Then he says "Alright". Then I laugh and say "Have a good night" and pull away. (5 Comments |Comment on this)

5:24 pm	Why Sony is probably going to lose the console wars Alternate Title: I was sold a $650 lie I hate to say it because I was really hoping for Sony to pull through but Microsoft is just knocking them down every chance they get. Whether it's through money, or buying up IP, or Partnerships Sony is just totally off the ball. Here's my list #1: Exclusives, what exclusives? Sony has lost GTA, Final Fantasy, and now Metal Gear Solid? What's next? Great they have things like Drake's Fortune and Killzone and Socom but those aren't household brand names. They are Niche titles that go into Niche markets. Plus the problem is even though the ps3 is more powerful all these games that are being developed cross platform will probably never show it because MS tells them to make sure they look the same if they want to sell on the 360. And who wouldn't want to sell on the 360 considering it has the largest userbase next to the Wii!?!? #2: IP: They bought up a company that was making interactive games using a camera (IE No waggle wii mote) and now they are using that technology. #2a:They also are integrating facebook and twitter into their dashboard system (Like windows for the 360) WTF SONY??! You have a webbrowser and people can install linux on the ps3. How the hell are you letting Microsoft beat you at adding these things in?! #3:Netflix Hello? Now with Netflix you can watch movies, TV shows, whatever with your friends over the internet! So if you want to watch the next big sports game do it over your 360 and it's like all your buddies are in the living room with you. Earth to Sony, this is what HOME was supposed to be. The thing you promised would be out when the ps3 was released like everything else and still isn't fucking finished??? FFS Sony you have a CD and a Movie label! MS doesn't have any of that WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!? Current Mood: frustrated (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:42 pm	Bike's Done but I won't be riding it. Well my Bike is doing being repaired but I won't be riding it. They claimed that I stored my bike outside during the winter and all the seals weeping and everything were caused by that. I told them I kept my bike in a garage and they were like "Wow really? A Garage?? Because your bike was really banged up" They said I didn't properly maintain my chain which is BS cause Dave was with me when I cleaned it a month ago and he saw it and it was fine. Also the oil leak? They said they didn't find one. So I'm not going to ride this bike around and have someone come here and be like "You've got oil all over your engine! I'm not buying this!". They told me I needed a service on the bike so I agreed to do that for $200 but then plus all the other work? Total Bill? $330! I thought they were supposed to call people before they did work outside of warranty? UGH. I'm done with Aprilia never again, if I go to buy another Aprilia without at least a decade going buy somebody hit me with a hard object. Current Mood: crushed (9 Comments |Comment on this)

12:45 pm	TD Commerce Corrected their error I didn't even have to show up thankfully the money just magically appeared in the account today. (Comment on this)
2:34 am	Yeap, I jinxed it Turns out the check I tried to deposit in our joint account got deposited into a total strangers account. The lady behind the register asked me "Do you want to deposit this into the same account?" and the person standing next to her stopped her saying "That's a different man!" she replied "They look the same" First of all, that's totally racist. Then to add insult to injury apparently she deposited it into the strangers account ANYWAY. Current Mood: frustrated (3 Comments |Comment on this)

5:32 pm	I don't want to Jinx it but this may be a good day! I'm going to shorten everything up but 2 really amazing things just happened. 1. Ellen and I decided to use some of the Tax Rebate money to get Rock Band 2 for parties so I went out and got it for the ps3 and instead of charging me $189 for it they charged me $89!!!! 2. TD Bank Gave me back my 2 Overdraft fees! Short Story: TD Bank screwed me by redacting a payment I sent to American Express because I tried to deposit a check incorrectly via ATM. Even though I had enough money in my account BEFORE I made the incorrect deposit! I got them to refund the Overdraft Fee for my Amex Bill AND the overdraft fee I made by using TD Bank as a Visa when I ran out of money. I know what you're saying "Why did you use TD Banks card when you didnt' have any money Dave?!" because American Express froze my credit when TD Bank redacted my bill payment!

5:19 pm	Took my first nap today I haven't taken a nap in a long time, usually what happens is I fall asleep and I stay asleep for 8 hours. Today by some small miracle I went to sleep around 3:00 and I woke up around 5:00. Maybe I am getting better, just really really slowly. (Comment on this)

9:30 am	Looking for Provigil Testimonies I have Provigil Pills that I could take that might help me feel more awake. But truth be told I am afraid to take them. I don't like the idea of taking ANY medication that alters my brain in anyway. Especially when I ask my Doctor "how does this work?" and their answer is "we do not know". Has anyone taken Provigil? Or know of someone that has? I'd appreciate any information, thanks everyone. Current Mood: blah (4 Comments |Comment on this)

7:08 pm	To those of you who have offered me help finding a job I wanted to thank you for your offer but I can't accept it easily. Everyone should know that I am still having problems sleeping and problems with "digestion" since I have had my gall bladder removed. I cannot take anyone up on their offer in good conscience unless they know these things because I don't want to risk ruining anyone's reputation at their place of employment. Having said that if anyone would still like to help me I will be happy to provide you with my resume`. If not I understand and I won't be upset. Current Mood: blah (Comment on this)

Connectivity works through the dock connector or over Bluetooth. * Long-promised push functionality will at last be included, but apps won't run in the background. * Developers can add streaming video and audio to their apps, along with in-game voice use.

5:58 am	Hey Dave! What's the Haps?? Slowly but surely my sleeping schedule crept later and later, or I suppose earlier and earlier is more appropriate. Here I am at 6:00 AM and not feeling tired. I've tried to lay down a few times with little to no success. As soon as I get tired I'm going to try to go to sleep and only sleep for a few hours so hopefully tonight I'll be able to fall asleep earlier. I wish I was one of those people that can just lay down and take a nap or go to sleep whenever they want, but my mind just never seems to work that way. I liked being a morning person for the month or so that it lasted, but it never seems to stick. I don't know if it's lifestyle or what but it is irritating. Jobs jobs JOBS. I'm really frustrated by my lack of an ability to find and secure a job. I feel like I'm just tossing my resume into a wishing well, except it takes me 15 minutes per throw because I custom write all of my cover letters. Pretty much all of the jobs I see are posted by tech recruiting agencies. I tried calling one of them today and they told me "If we have a client that is interested we will contact you" which is basically "Don't call us we'll call you". I even asked if they had my resume` on file or if I should e-mail it again, he just said "E-mail it again". Even if I do find a job how do I know health issues won't interfere with me working again? Now one Doctor Says I have Sleep Apnea, but the other says I have Narcolepsy. So I can't even really get disability help, I need a third opinion really but that costs money! :\ *sigh* I wish things would just be simple again.

1:18 am	Mike is home from the hospital Really bad Asthma attack. He is going to his doctor tomorrow and hopefully get some medication to help him. (Comment on this)
12:24 am	Mike is in the hospital For those of you that know him Mike is in the hospital. We were playing games and all the sudden he just went AFK and never came back. I just found out about an hour ago that he stopped breathing and was taken to the hospital. I am told that he is breathing better now. I don't have anymore information as the info I got came from his little sister and she doesn't know much. If I get any updates I'll be sure to post them online. (Comment on this)
