Call to Greatness

MTV's Call to Greatness

This is the story of a bus full of bad-asses on a mission to break as many of the most insane and ridiculous feats on record as humanly possible. Everything from the most claps in 1 minute to slurping the most ketchup to moonwalking the longest distance to the most times one can kick their own face...these guys just rock. Its kinda like Jackass but with a purpose, hahaha. Check it out!

Great new show about a college graduate that scores a hotshot executive job...but has to juggle is new, always-on-call job with his delinquent friends and relationships.

Voss Water

The water tastes pretty good...but all I really care about is the sexy look of the bottles, hahah. Apparently they sell for like $5 a pop...but I get 'em for just over $2 at the local boba shops.

Google Calendar

A new thing for people with a Gmail account. It makes it really easy to share calendars (search for the577.com calendar for birthday reminders). You can even set it up to notify your cellphone via text message.

I was RIAA'ed!!!

If you've been living under a rock for the past couple years, basically the RIAA is the organization that loves to sue people left and right. Sometimes they're justified, but most of the time they are just being retarded. Take these cases for example:

  • RIAA believes that ripping music CDs to iPods is illegal »
  • RIAA believes the Sirius satellite radio network owes them 30% of revenues »
  • RIAA uses children against mother »
  • RIAA bans telling friends about songs »
  • RIAA sues hundreds of lyrics sites for copyright infringement

Obviously in my case, they were justified; I was downloading music illegally. I'm actually lucky as fuck that I didn't get slapped with a nasty fine. And I'm thankful.

But I still think the RIAA is a fucking waste.

I mean, instead of spending millions of dollars on crucifing the common consumer, the RIAA should think of ways to embrace today's technology to make a legitimate profit.

Like remember the VCR? Initially consumers used it to record television shows so they could watch at their own leisure. When this first came out, the entertainment industry was scared shitless! But after losing in the Supreme Court, entertainment companies changed their business models to embrace this VCR technology. And what happened?

Pre-recorded video cassettes became a multi-million dollar industry that easily surpassed box office ticket sales.

Its not rocket science. But for some retarded reason the RIAA still likes to make things harder than it should be.

wank

Anyways, time to buy some iTunes.

(Sidenote: I got caught downloading from torrentspy.com)

Disconnected

Okay, so the housing office killed my internet like 3 weeks ago (most likely for downloading/sharing). Luckily for me there was an empty room in the apartment and I had an extra long cable. So for 3 weeks that's what I've been using.

And then one of the network guys comes in and sees the cable, so he disconnects it and locks the vacant room.

Sweet. Cockblocked again.

And now I have a hunch that they blacklisted my laptop's wireless, so even connecting to another person's router will get their internet killed just like mine.

So this week I have endless papers and website projects to take care...and no internet. I can't connect to the empty room cuz its locked. I can't connect via wireless because it'll get killed in 5 minutes. So the only option left for me is to do my work at the student union where they have free wireless (that won't ban me).

Just for reference, I got here at 3:15pm.

The time is now 9:25pm.

On a sidenote, I realized that there's actually a lot of hotties here at Cal Poly. For the most part they like to walk thru the Union.

Took me 6 years to figure that out.

Lingering Thoughts...

Bros before hoes. Bitches come and go. Some of them stick around, some a lot longer than others. Some are worth it, some aren't. But whatever you do, whoever you're with, never forget your true friends -- they're the ones that'll always be around when you need 'em.

If you're in a situation where a bro might get hurt, give 'em a heads up. If you ever face a decision that could potentially hurt a bro, ask 'em about it first. Its not about asking for permission -- its about showing them respect. Its that simple little gesture that says, "I love you like a brother, and I'll do everything I can to keep you as one." It makes all the difference.

Its not just what you say, its also how you say it.

Its not just what you do, its also how you do it.

I will love you on the condition that you will love me.

I will respect you on the condition that you will respect me.

I will walk that extra mile for you on the condition that you're willing to walk that extra mile for me.

(Unconditional love only exists within family, like between a mother and a newly-born child. Blood is thicker than anything. Everything else requires reciprocation.)

If you stab me in the back, the wound eventually heals but a scar remains forever.
