Yeah, this recently just popped into my mind. Which is better: Apple or Windows? Windows OS's dominate 90% of the internet while Apple's iPod is ridiculously popular. Windows is easy to use, but not labeled "user-friendly" like iMac. PC's have left and right click buttons and a scroll wheel; Macs have the function key and a one button mouse. Windows supports games; Mac supports very....VERY.....few. You can run Windows on Mac, or Mac on Windows. Zune shares wirelessly while iPod does not. Bill Gates is alot more richer than Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs isn't as nerdy as Bill Gates is. Macs are more expensive than PC's. PC's are sold alot more than Macs are. Alot of old people use Macs; young people like windows. Windows has a tendency to be considered nerdy; Apple has a tendency to be considered cool. The Apple commercial says it's better than Microsoft. And yet Microsoft is clearly alot more successful than Apple. Well, I am sort of neutral on the issue (I hate ipod, like their computers; like Windows, but sometimes acts retarded) but I prefer Microsoft over Apple. It's fun to look around on Mac computers because they're alot different, but they'll never beat windows as a traditional os. Oh yeah, Apple is coming out with the touch pad iPhone. Oh, that reminds me, I don't like how Apple puts the "i" before everything. You know, iPod. iMac. iPhone. i. i. Me. It's all about me. See what I mean? That's why I don't like Apple as much as Windows. Oh yeah, I brought this to your attention (if you're reading this) because I discovered a really hilarious vid:
I'm going to make a documentary on this, so watch for updates on it.
C'est la vie, happy hunting, etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc. (copy and paste is a wonderful thing)

Life, The Universe and Windows Vista
Speaking of Vista, I discovered today that I didn't have enough space on my primary hard drive to upgrade to vista, which the bleeping upgrade advisor shoula told me. So, gotta clean up all the extra programs and crud in my primary hard drive. You know what's retarded? My secondary hard drive is bigger than my primary (hard drive 1: 96.9 GB, Hard Drive 2: 111 GB).
I just discovered 2 cool metal bands: Becoming the Archetype and Shadow's Fall, of which the latter has a song on Guitar Hero 2 (The Light That Blinds)
Oh, I just realized I haven't updated my blog since Thursday...That's quite a long time. Well, about work camp. Friday we went up in the tour bus (YES!!! A.C. GALORE!!) except the soph. girls who decided to mutually exclude themselves from the group and went up in a van...eh, their loss. So, while I worked my butt off working on Grieg's concerto everyone else played wiffle and volley ball. (I know there's not a space in between volly and ball, but who really gives a sentimental dead squirrel?) After 1.5 hours we left for Phelan and I ate at BK and got ripped by not getting game pieces I was entitled to. Me, Silas and Jeff protested, but they turned us away rather coldly. Well, after we went back, I practiced some more then got bored and broke out Band of Bros. for everyone to watch...but only me, Vinny and Greg watched the whole time (some people watched but their attention span was limited to 2 minutes due to the presence of the opposite sex) Then, the next day we worked. Me, Greg, Alex, Jeff and RHLA-er Kyle fixed erosion issues under the deck for 3 hours and that really got me stir crazy. After that and lunch we worked on the bank out on the meadow and did fire clearance up at upper camp and then all the jobs were done and everyone left and I died a little inside. Just kidding, I laid down (more like flopped down, landed on, fell on, nearly missed, etc.) on my couch and laid there feeling my whole body ached then practiced for 3 hours. Sunday was uneventful besides that my mom wanted to go cherry picking at a local ranch but when we went it turned out that it was closed. I managed to catch up to my listening to metal (Living Sacrifice-Concieved in Fire). Monday I had a 3 hour lesson and went to Chaz's, had a triple burger, two Mtn Dews (those kept me up all night), alot of chips, and other junk food. We played Axis and Allies while watching Band of Bros. and afterward played guitar hero. Then I went home and tried to get mechwarrior2 running on my computer, but I bitterly failed. Today was ditch day but I didn't want to go even though I qualified for it. I actually HATE Magic Mountain because of the relentless torrents of modern culture (i.e. freaks, lots of couples making out in the middle of the walkway/line/plain sight/where everyone can see them/etc etc etc.) Well, dinner's calling for me, so until next time, WASH YOUR HANDS. 30 seconds minimum.

much ado about nothing
That's a Shakespeare play, but that basically describes my intentions right now until CSI starts at 9:00. Right now it's 8:23, so I have some time to work with. Oh yeah, whenever I post something, it says the time when I started typing at, not when I click the Publish Post button. Speaking of which, next to that button is a save now button which has a little dialog pointing at it that says it autosaves drafts for me. How nice, considering I never save drafts because I always like to take these blogs at a long stretch.
It's been a long time since I decided to come and update my blog. Well, actually, I only missed a day...but it still felt like a long time. The weeks keep on going by faster and faster and before I know it the end of school will hit me like a brick wall. So will the trip. And coming back from the trip. And double sessions. And the first day of school. And the first football game. And inaugural (in which the girls have to ask the guys....I feel my skin starting to crawl already). And the last football game (which will hopefully be a championship victory). And basketball season. And volleyball. And graduation. And college. And a job. And marriage (20% chance of that happening, I'd say). And family. And grandkids. And retirement. And death. Yeah, all of those things will hit me so hard and fast that I won't have time to grab some tapioca. Sheesh, am I thinking rather morbidly today.
Where was I?.... Oh yeah, updating my blog. I finally got to what I wanted to do after typing a rather long reflective paragraph. Tomorrow we're going to L.A. Courthouse for "Law Day" which they announced just today, of which we need to wear nice clothes, and I stand there in shock as to why I haven't heard this before and everyone treats me like a retard just freshly thrown out of the insane asylum because they got the announcement last week and didn't bother to tell me. I know for sure that I paid attention to all announcements for the past 3 weeks, but how this one got by me I haven't got a clue. Luckily, I have my "Kare Wear" (as Mrs. Orsburn christened it) down here, but both pairs of my dress shoes are at home. Er, my home up in the mountains. It's so frustrating living at two locations so far away from each other. So, I'll just wear my old beat-up K-Swiss tennies and see if anyone notices. If I get a demerit, I'll be down at 11 and will actually have to work on a Saturday (the first time that I'll ever get in merit trouble in my entire carrer at RHP). If I don't get a demerit, I'll heave a sigh of relief. Oh yeah, I'm actually going home tomorrow. Work camp's this Saturday, and we're going to have fun stuff Friday. We're actually going out to eat either in Wrightwood (Grizzly Bear Cafe!!!! Oh, do I hope) or out in Phelan (or Phe-Lahn, as Mr. Loomis pronounced it). I'm hoping that we'll be able to break out my Band of Brothers DVD's and watch a couple episodes...like Bastogne, Day of Days or Crossroads. (by the way, this is a really good series. Thing is, it has a LOT of swearing and has a graphic sex scene towards the end of the series (stir crazy guys on leave, you know, that's going to happen))
I recently discovered Battletech. Well, not discovered it, I knew of it ever since I starting playing MechWarrior 2 when I was six (really awesome game, but has cheesy graphics but it's all part of the fun) because MechWarrior games are based on the Battletech universe. What I mean is that I've discovered Battletech as a tabletop game. You can either print out little cheesy 2d paper figures of mechs or buy metal models you can paint, and you battle on a pad with a bunch of hexagons on it (for gameplay; if you knew the rules of the game, you'd know why). If you're interested, see classicbattletech.com. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there are different variants of the game and I'm starting off with classic. If you want to know more, just don't be lazy and google Battletech.
Uh oh, 8:50, CSI starts in 10 minutes......wait, since it was the season finale last week, does that mean there's going to be reruns until the season kickoff? (Is there a season kickoff? I almost never watch TV, so I don't know these things) Last weeks episode was a cliffhanger, so I do hope that they don't show a rerun. If they do, I may be mad. Or that gives me a reason to come back here and write some more gibberish...... Say, I'm going to go check if it's a rerun right now. Thank goodness for the channel guide.
Darrgh, it's a rerun. I changed my mind about posting gibberish anyway, because it's probably an episode I haven't seen before.

Didn't work
..but nevertheless, I don't really care. I'm getting WindowBlinds anyway, and that's somewhat as good (when it comes to display; I still won't be able to play halo 2....if I get it)

Second Failure
It failed. Again. Now for one more try...and if it doesn't go, I'm perfectly happy with XP.
...for now.
Say, my blog's getting kinda large, I feel like I've accomplished something.

After many hours of waiting....
....it failed to upgrade. I am really angry right now, because I double checked with the upgrade advisor thingy from microsoft, downloaded 72 upates, and such and it took me like an hour and a half to finally be able to upgrade, and then it takes several hours for the upgrading process to complete. So, I am going to try it two more times...if they don't work the next two consecutive times, I'm just going to stick with XP.
By the way, it's a nice morning out there......
