Traffic, what is..

Today traffic is unbelievably busier than it was yesterday and tomorrow will be much more busier as well. Think of it this way, everything there is a naive wide-eyed youngster obtaining their license in the state of Florida, at the adolescent age of 16, that adds another vehicle, and not just "another vehicle" though, a driver of a dangerous vehicle who thinks they're invincible. Silly kids, automobiles are for adults. With our recent medical studies we are overcoming the age barriers by a long-haul with keeping the elderly around longer. Red-Flag, this just means our roadway systems will become overly populated with more and more traffic, not to mention seeing these old folks driving with their blinding cataract glasses, they'd be equally dangerous driving blindfolded.
With gas exponentially increasing in price, perhaps one would think that this would allow more road vacancy, ABSOLUTELY NOT! This only means people are required to reach deeper into their pockets till they are bone dry, leaving them having to work more hours-- or even apply for another job or other work to churn an extra buck from the money trees we all have growing in our yards. All that I know, is that this construction better hurry itself up, otherwise I'm going to be one mean boar.

LED Throwables

Ever thought of making an LED (Light Emitting Diode) that you can throw and it sticks to something. Well now you can with this open source project developed by the Graffiti Research Lab a division of the Eyebeam R&D OpenLab.

LED Throwies are an inexpensive way to add color to any ferromagnetic surface in your neighborhood. A Throwie consists of a lithium battery, a 10mm diffused LED and a rare-earth magnet taped together. Throw it up high and in quantity to impress your friends and city officials.

Anyhow, Click HERE to view a video filmed in Astor Place, NYC, where the famous sculpture, Alamo, aka "the cube" was covered with these magnetic LEDs.

Also be sure to check out the Instructions of how to make these LED Throwies.

Another Day, Another Dollar

It all starts out with a few hello-good mornings, a cup of coffee--the steaming aroma and taste that brings us to life, and opening the blinds and shades of the windows to bring the morning sun into view. Today happens to be pay-day, which is a day that is not to be complained if you've ever taken a look at some of the bums around your area. Thought you had it hard? Just imagine how much worse it could be, right? Think of how a dog feels when he's jumped up and down, twirled circles while rolling over several times-- all for a little itty bitty piece of a something that resembles bacon. Observe how a canine only requires a little treat even if they have done as many tricks as their mind limits them to performing-- also this is a cyclical and dogs won't expect more and more each time. This just goes to show that humans are greedy and can't accept being rewarded for what they have accomplished, as they will always want more and more. Anyhow the profession I have earned, as well as the office environment that is inhabited by a lucky handful of us, is wonderful. So here I sit in front of this light emitting gun that is being shot towards my face.

Real Live Mario

For all of you Nintendo/Mario enthusiasts, this is quite an astounding video that a friend of mine, (Chris) had sent a few days ago for me to check out.

My Adventurous Day

Today was quite unique per se; in fact, after the gruelling studying that was accomplished last night for the college accounting exam that was today, was indeed easier than originally imagined-- though it was not aced by the utility of a "Christmas tree" attempt.

After the exam, a good friend of mine from class was generous enough to donate his old XFX Nvidia GeForce 6600 256DDR PCI-E, since I had mentioned yesterday that I was on the lookout for purchasing a new video card. The time has finally come to purchase a new motherboard/CPU bundle to support that monster now.

The popular cell phone company, Cingular, was on my "not" list today with their technical issues of restricting my phone to only allowing outgoing calls, after a few friends alerted me by questioning if I had changed my number, which I had not. So after spending around the duration of a half hour on the phone with their wonderful technical support team, they were finally able to transmit a test call to my phone via the method of "waving the dead chicken."

On the other hand, after accumulating around 5 hours at the hospital (MRMC), my best friends (Jay and Brittany) have finally had their long awaited baby girl, Ausley, weighing in at 7lbs 6 ounces-- how adorable she is (pictures shall follow tomorrow).

Off to do some more exciting exam studying tonight before I crash and allow my dreams to delineate something spontaneous or perhaps, grotesque. Au revoir.

Last Minute

So why is it in life we push ourselves to wait until the last minute? Is it because the pressure has built up in our mind, which is then quickly released as adrenaline into our body to save us just before our mind undergoes a similar effect of a nuclear power plant meltdown. I like to think of waiting last minute as a form of allowing ideas that I can utilize in a later task, to marinate my dendrites before they are brain-numbingly fried. Perhaps; however, the reality, as well as statistics, show that many individuals would say they actually perform better while accomplishing a task last minute; likewise, I concur to that.

You're probably wondering why I have even decided to bring this topic about on here. As a matter of fact, I have decided to PROCRASTINATE my studies on my final exams, gee-- surely I'm not alone on this bandwagon. Anyhow, as a result of last week's stressful test/homework cramming sessions, I wanted to enjoy the weekend without worries of any college related subjects, as I completely loathe tests of any type, especially those of which require the utility of a #2 pencil and bubbling.

As a solution, I have quickly scanned through my brain's reliance of stress relief. This has brought me to an article posted on FOXNews titled, "Do This Now: Seven Steps to Stop Procrastinating". Okay, I don't believe this will actually work; however, I will give it a shot and take a look at how my decisions are based from a species of rats in a lab. The article mentions, "Symptoms include: --When you face something unpleasant, boring," why this has actually hit it right on the spot! With further reading, this actually sounds like some Dr. Phil or someone associated. It also claims that individuals that have these symptoms are very disorganized and non goal oriented--WHAT?! Alright, this article is based on statistics which is quite useless even if it does fall within the standard deviation of our society. The article has some truth, yet it also reams of statistic bullshit.

Today will consist of my brain cells being filleted and boiled inside my cranium while I cram to study for my exam tomorrow, oh joy! Anyway, the moral of the story is not to wait till last minute (procrastinate) when you can allot more time beforehand to lessen the damage on your body from stressing.
