Buy Adolan (Tramadol) Without Prescription

Welp sitting here on my couch reading some articles on why everyone should buy a Mac. It makes me want to find a company that wants to dump all their Windows PCs and move to Mac. I'd love to install a bunch of iMacs and install an XServe or Two. How nice would that be... I guess maybe someday all these Window's junkies will "see the light". I never thought that I would ever say all that, I used to be a die hard Windows fan, but after spending time on Macs... Windows seems horrible to use.

So that's all... just thought I would drop a line to let people know what I am up to...

Well, we did it. My girlfriend and I made it to our six month anniversary! As I look back, it hasn't been easy with everything we faced, but even though many times we were't together physically, God kept us. I can't say it was always easy, but God made it easier to face. So to many couples, six months is nothing... but to us six months is a huge milestone in our lives together... Just watned to share that with the Xanga community... since I share everything with you all...

Random Thought.....

Have you ever looked at your car (for those who have one and can drive) and just want to drop everything you're doing and get in it and just drive? I really wanted to do that today. Just odd I guess... maybe all this snow is finally getting to me and I am dying to be somewhere warmer.

In other news... the Laser is STILL FOR SALE. I have to get rid of that car. We'd like to buy something, but can't since we still have the other car. So maybe I will get lucky and someone will just waltz by the house with $4000.00 cash and I can finally buy a SUV.

Business, let's not go there. I have so much of it I want to pull my hair out. I've decided to put my resume in at a few more places to do some consulting part-time again to make extra cash. Start saving up money for the summer.

POLL! Here are my options with my current car:
2002 Pontiac Grand Am GT Sedan (Black)
No Mods
55,000 Miles

Now, do I:
A. Install the SC/T Hood & Spoiler and while they're getting painted have the scratches taken care of too. (est. cost $2500.00)
B. Install a new exhaust system, do extremely early preventive maintenance, and install several performance mods (CAI... etc...) (est. cost $2000.00)
C. A & B with an extra here or there (est. cost $5000.00)
D. Take all the money that I was going to put in it and put it on my loan so I can trade it in or sell it. (Bringing total of what I owe to around what the car is worth.)

hmmm.... the more I look at my options my personal favorite option is D, but I guess I am just one of those people who hate to have a car more than two years. So let's see what the Xanga community thinks...

People, this time I am seriously going to bed...

Night,
John

Tech Section (for Paul): The 3GHz is also something that I've heard. Anything that is a speed increase is considered "minor". In my prior references to G3, G4, and G5... they were all (as far as I can remember) announced in a KeyNote speech. True Apple does revise their Notebooks, but a processor change is typically something major. Also, I can imagine that the cooling will have to change due to the extra heat the G5 provides. Which might mean a design change (though I do like the AI Notebooks style and get compliments galore about it) A good example of their 6 month revisions are:
1. I got my laptop in October 2003 right after the 1.33GHz Laptop was released
2. Six (or so) months later the 1.5GHz Laptop was released
3. Six (or so) months later, the 1.67GHz Laptop was released

I doubt we see another G4 speed increase in place, but I think a G5 would be "conference worthy" material... but Apple's been known to do crazier things. I mean, the iMac G5 was released without any conference... I just figured that the notebook receiving such a big processor change... would be something Apple would want to push in a conference for promo's sake... I guess we'll have to watch and see. I know that if they do, I will be the first in line to get one... haha...

So people, that's the technology news for today also. I am tired, it is 3AM... time to SLEEP.

Driving home the other day, I heard this song, and concentrated on the lyrics.

I Don't Wanna Be
Gavin DeGraw

I don't need to be anything other than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other than a birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going is knowing where I'm coming from

 

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

 
I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by a identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one to notice?
I can't be the only one who's learned

 
I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

 

Can I have everyone's attention please
if you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain, the crust of creation
My whole situation made from crater, stone
And now I'm telling everybody
 

I don't want to be anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms wondering what I gotta to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

 

Those last lines I really appreciate and relate with. “I’m tired of looking around rooms wondering what I gotta to do or who I’m supposed to be. I don’t want to be anything other than me.” So many times in life I’ve done things to make people like me. I’ve changed who I was to “fit in”. Well, I don’t do it anymore, and this song just presents my case even more… I don’t want to be anything other than me….

 

Just thought I would share that,
John

Technology Post (non-geeks beware):
To Paul: Yeah, I would love to get a G5 PowerBook. The only thing is, most of the major hardware upgrades that Apple does (G3, G4, G5, PowerBook G3 to G4, iPod,  iPod  Mini,  iPod Shuffle,  Mac Mini, etc...) are almost always announced at a major Mac Convention.  The only convention left for this year is  AWDC  (Apple Worldwide Developer's Convention) (I think is sometime in June) and I highly doubt that Apple is going  to release a G5 PowerBook then. I would probably bet that they're going to release it next year at Mac World 2006; since this would be such a major upgrade for the PowerBook. However, they might go against the grain and do it in the fall, I've heard the same rumors...

So, today is "Transfer all your crap to Mac" day. I am starting with iPhoto and moving to iTunes, then moving all the office documents over. The more I use it the more that I think the following:
A. Keep it, add 512MB Memory, External HD for Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio, Motion projects, and get Tiger when released.
B. Take the money I was going to use to buy a new notebook and buy a G5 iMac.
C. Get a Gigabit Switch so I can transfer files between the two quickly.

So maybe I will figure out my budget to start putting away for a G5 iMac... or maybe if things go real well for me these next few months actually buy a G5 tower with a 23" Flat Panel from Mac. Well... I guess that might be dreaming... but they do say dreams do come true ;-).

So enough of my geekiness I need to get off of here and start workin on the notebook..

I have a website presentation this morning, a FrontPage training session, another website presentation, and one printer repair client. I should be done by noon, which will put me in Columbus by 1:00. So, then I get the rest of the evening off. Exciting!

On the technology sector of life. After doing a several hundred meg transfer over our home network; I've come to this conclusion:
A. Companies need to make Gigabit Wireless Routers.
B. Unless someone actually does, I am going to buy a Gigabit switch and wireless access point when I upgrade our home network later this year.

I saw that apple released new PowerBook G4 notebooks. Very nice... I think I might get one after the release of Tiger. Also, I would like to be able to sell my PowerBook G4 17" 1.33GHz; so I wouldn't have to come up with too much money to buy the new one. I also want to get an extra 512MB of memory for the new one so I can have a gig of memory.

So, now I need to go get outfitted for work; and get my rear out the door. See ya people, be back after one. Call my cell phone if you have to track me down.

John
