02:41 pm - my two cents So yeah, Syra broke the news. Still though, I hate that phrase, and it depresses me to see things that read like they mean "yeah, saw that coming a mile away" about us. For my sake, and Syra's too I'd like to think, can y'all be a little more sensitive? I mean, that just might be me being sensitive, but seriously. This isn't easy for either of us. We had both come to places in our lives where there's too much keeping us from being healthy together right now. So yeah, it sucks to be 'broken up' but after talking, we both agreed it needs to be done. At the very least I can say "who knows what the future holds?" Now, don't think that means that I'm being delusional. Only that I know that I care very much for Syra and won't stand by to lose her as such a great, close friend. So we're each going to do our separate things right now, for the betterment of our selves. In the meantime, just let me and Syra know we have all your support please. This is hard enough, as she said, without it getting to be a 'his side' or 'her side' thing and without blame being pointed in any direction. Bottom line is, I still love her, a lot. But I know I have some big problems right now, and I know she needs some time alone, some time to herself for herself. And out of that love and the respect I have for her, we are where we are now. One last thing, sorta off topic. My computer at home still isn't hooked up, so I don't often get a chance to get on LJ or Facebook or check my e-mail... So if anyone wants to get ahold of me, call my cell phone!! 513.280.0681 Odds are good that I'll change it to an Indianapolis (317) area code sometime soon (especially since I'm employed now), and when I do, I'll make sure to post on LJ/Facebook and make lots of phone calls to everyone just to make sure they know. But in the meantime, use the digits above if you want to call me and chat. Current Location: work Current Mood: drained Tags: breakup, friends, love, syra

04:49 pm - Frauds, Cheats, Scams -- and *OUR* Wasted Money! YouTube - Computer Repair Fraud video. So, does the Geek Squad take part in scams like these all across the country? I certainly don't know... but given the results of that news station's investigation, I would plead with you all to first ask a friend who has had experience with the service (be it Geek Squad or any other fix-it group) what their experience was like, or ask someone who does all sorts of computer work if they'll fix it for you instead (someone like me; and yes, I'll help out, for, at worst $10-20 to at least tell you what the problem is... rather than have you waste $50 or more to have one of these "professional" repair shops scam you). And yes, that was a shameless plug for myself that I'm willing to (at the least) diagnose your PC problems let alone repair them completely -- and trust me, I'm a lot cheaper! ^_^ YouTube - Jiffy Lube Scam caught on video. Again, ask a friend/relative/whomever who knows car repair or basic mechanics before going to ANY shop to get work done on your car. It's that easy (they did things in plain sight that the cameras caught from across the street!) for a mechanic to scam you, either by (A) charging you for work not completed or finished or (B) charging you for work you don't actually need!

03:59 am - I HAVE to share this with you all! Okay, so I've woken up in the middle of the night to find myself temporarily unable to get back to sleep. I think that I just laughed myself hard and SILLY over the following webcomic, enough so to send me back to sleep. So I must share it with you all! Visit the xkcd website through the previous link for the full effect. (The full mouse-over hover text reads: "ThisadpaidforbythecounciltopromoteMicrosoftandChristianity.

01:44 pm - Taking after Gloria Cary Grant You scored 16% Tough, 9% Roguish, 42% Friendly, and 33% Charming! You are the epitome of charm and style, the smooth operator who steals the show with your sophisticated wit, quiet confidence and flirty sense of humor. You are able to catch any woman you want just by flashing that disarming smile, even if you're flashing it at a kindly aunt or engaging child at the time. When you walk into a room, women are instantly intrigued and even the men are impressed, but you're too nice a guy to steal anyone else's girl...unless the guy deserves it. You're stylish, yes, but you can also be a little bit nutty. However, you're primarily seen as dashing, suave and romantic. Your co-stars include Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, and Grace Kelly, stylish women with a sense of fun. Find out what kind of classic dame you'd make by taking the Classic Dames Test. My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 21% on Tough You scored higher than 25% on Roguish You scored higher than 70% on Friendly You scored higher than 62% on Charming Link: The Classic Leading Man Test written by gidgetgoes on Ok Cupid, home of the 32-Type Dating Test Current Location: Jon's computer Current Mood: interesting Current Music: neighbors R & B Tags: meme

02:58 pm - Sue South Dakota After hearing of the news that the South Dakotan Legislature has passed a bill on to Republican Senator Mike Rounds' desk for approval, I'm appalled. In a fell (and stupid?) swoop, the entirety of the South Dakota legislature (yes, I'm aware that the bill did not pass unopposed... thereby meaning that not all its senators supported it, but still...) has effectively declared itself outside of and better than the Federal US government. At the time of the bill's passing (not its signing, which has yet to occur), it breaks Federal law. Plain and simple, it breaks the law (as set forth by the so-called Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision). As such, I think the South Dakotan lawmakers should, each and every one of them, be taken to court, and held accountable as breaking Federal law. On a more personal note, I'd also want to find a way to sue them out of office and power. This is a horrible precedent. And the catalyst it could create is horrifying to think about.

02:55 am - Borrowed from gluedupsidedown Brutal Honesty Meme. I've allowed anonymous posting. [AND, I'm posting this publicly.] Anonymously tell me the NICEST AND/OR the MEANEST thing(s) you can think to say about me. You don't have to put them in the same post. Keep me guessing. I promise I'll try not to overreact, so do your worst. Or your best, respectively. Then post this in your LJ and see what we all have to say about you Current Mood: curious

Me and Syra are so worried for our little kitty. =( Poor baby. I just hope it's something easily taken care of (antibiotics?? pills? dur, I dunno)... and mainly I hope she doesn't have to stay there overnight for observation. Whatever the case may be, I need to git now... Wish our Rat-Kitty well! Current Mood: anxious Current Music: Huey Lewis & the News - Whole Lotta Lovin'

12:08 pm - A decision So, I've gone all "friends-only" now, just like a bunch of other people. But, it probably doesn't matter, because most of my lj-friends are already on my lists. If you're not, here's where to get my attention--leave a comment!
