This Just In @ 4/3/05: 1133PM: Get ready for the Water Bottle to Return; That’s right. I’m going to get back into the respect groove and attempt to act myself, without the disrespect… Let’s see how it works. Wish me luck. —
First of all, there are a lot of people dying lately. Second of all, I haven’t filled my Silence Quota properly lately. Thirdly, I didn’t get to go to the movies with Juan today. Finally, I’m quite tired.
If you haven’t heard about the woman who should have died 14 years ago, Terry Shiavo finally passed on sometime last week (I don’t keep track of these things). Pope John Paul II also died, yesterday, about 36 or so hours ago. A tragic event indeed. I was going to make a rememberance picture, but I’m hella tired (pardon the non-pun there).
I had to work on Wednesday and Friday. But before we get to that, let me do an update on the ‘wreck’, if you can even call it that. I have a few pictures to accompany my side of the ‘wreck’, which will apparently cost me around another $240 a year–joy indeed!
The woman wants to leech about $1,000+ from All State Indemnity Co., collectively, our insurance company. State Farm (her company) sent a letter stating they would pay for damages to our vehicle. Unfortunately, I don’t believe in milking their company for what would probably cost hundreds of dollars to fix… Observe:

So whatever… Moral of the story: Don’t get too close to cars.
My Silence Quota is something I keep dear to myself… not really, but here’s how it works. I stay by myself for a minimum amount of time; if this doesn’t happen, I lose balance, and get really moody. As it is, I haven’t had enough sleep and I’m uber-pissed; I didn’t go to the movies tdoay, I have to keep going back over what I’m typing so that I don’t make even more typos and try to fix them, and … I don’t know what else to say. I’m just generally annoyed. I haven’t updated my website in forever, and I think I’m going to cancel my CGI-Proxy so that people will not waste my bandwidth and visit Xanga.com all day long. Not to mention, waste their lives…
Which brings me to a point. What measures intelligence? Little SAT and ACT tests? Your grades? Tests that you take in general? The amount of money you make? The friends you have? The number, quality, gender of friends you have?…
Ok, that wasn’t a point– let me make one.
This one guy wanted Algebra help; this is the third time he had asked me in the last month or so. I tried to help the first few times (and other people asked me for help in that same subject as well, but not as recently) and then after awhile, I just referred them to www.purplemath.com, which saved my ass a few times, if I do say so myself.
My most recent case, however, thought that something as algebraic as BINOMIALS would not be on the Algebra help site–one of the largest. That seriously pissed me off. Not only had I given him one of the best sites, but he then claimed that binomials weren’t on there, yet all he had to do was type binomials into a box on the homepage, click search, and get a wealth of results about what he wanted. That’s just lame.
I love helping people, but if they’re not going to try to figure out anything by themselves, then, screw that. I try really hard in some circumstances, moreso than others, mainly because I’m already expecting something back… What that is, well, if you know me well enough, you can figure it out–otherwise…
I’ve been tired since around 5PM today. I hate the new time change, but I do love how it’s dark in the morning; it’s going to be a pain in the ass to wake up now, but I’m sure I’ll be able to pull it off, especially since I get up at the time I used to LEAVE at…
I was browsing a few random blog sites and noticed how they talked about current issues in the news. I’m here to say this: If you care about those issues, you will have seen them on an actual Internet news site, and not off a web log with possibly biased information (unless that’s what you into… but Fox News Channel was made just for that! I love FNC.)
Anyway, long story shortER. I’ll sum up my week.
I worked Wednesday and Saturday. I was at Best Buy for about 12 hours on Saturday. Left after 10:45 at night… Not too much self-time there. No plans accomplished today. Let’s see what tomorrow has in store… Joy.
