Massive and un-restrained title change was necessary

Skynet, I, Robot, and the Machines out of the matrix are right around the corner. Hopefully, It won't go down that way.
DARPA, The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has said that it will create a self-aware computer that will learn, be able to respond to unknowns, and "grow."

Also, efforts to make a "universal translator" are getting closer. A phraselator has been in use since late 2001 and early 2002, and it can translate thousands of phrases in english to over 30 other langauges.

i went and donated plasma today with wes, rex, and amanda. it was an interesting experience, one I wouldn't do every week, but one I'd repeat again sometime. It wasn't unpleasant enough that I hated it.
They did the finger prick and then hooked up the IV, and alternatively switched between taking out and putting in the blood, seperating it out to get the plasma. at the end, they put room-temperature salene in, and it made us all shiver. salene also burns going into me, so I got a burning cold sensation followed by trembling and shivering. wes's arms were different colors. amanda couldn't donate, because she got nervous and her pulse rate was too high.

Alan sent me a pretty cool article, it's about a computer chip understanding brain cells talk. I read an earlier study done with a rat and a computer chip and a transmitter, they had the rat doing things on "remote" control. maybe in the next fifty years, we'll be able to talk to each other using technology- computer chips in our heads attached to transmitters and recievers, sending thoughts. I think that would be awesome...
there would be a miriad of problems that came with it, but I think it would be great. that and nano technology. if only....

Blogger support wrote an intresting page or two on how to keep blog-writing and dating from being a disaster. I think it's kind of amusing, allthough I would have expected a slightly different topic, I think.

One of my church members offered me a part-time job, and I'm going to take it. I'm glad that I've finally got SOMETHING.

I had some really weird dreams last night... All the way to Carol getting a new house to driving through a not-so-norman. and camping. A weird cast, this time, too. Not your standard cast at all. (rolls eyes at himeself) Megan and Adam were there, along with Rex and Brandon, some dream people I've never seen before (I think, allthough my crazy mind could have simply taken faces off of people and thrown them in there) and guest appearances by Tracy, Joey Numbers, and Erin.
that's pretty much all, the details aren't all that important- they were mostly just weird dreams- mostly.

Something else to add to my list of amusing things that occur on those nights when I should be sleeping, but thanks to friends, was staying up.

Tracy (4:54:06 AM): *crickets*
JaydFalcyn (4:54:08 AM): cut?
Tracy (4:54:14 AM): what?
Tracy (4:54:19 AM): cutting crickets? you sick person
JaydFalcyn (4:54:21 AM): that's... "sharp," Tracy.
Tracy (4:54:39 AM): *sounds of mangled crickets* what the hell?
JaydFalcyn (4:54:45 AM): HAGA!
JaydFalcyn (4:54:53 AM): shit, adam is surely awake now!

SOMEONE vandalized Pamela's car. she called me after it happened, and asked me if I did it, because I was the ONLY one she could think of that bore her ill-will. I said no, I didn't do anything, and then she asked me if I was lying. I called Nikki and Amanda, and apparently someone had thrown something like marinara sauce (or soup? something orange, anyway) all over the back of Pamela's car. Nikki, Amanda, and Wes both thought it had happened after Pamela got back and while they (Nikki, Amanda, and Wes) were at Burger King.
It wasn't me. and thank god it wasn't, because I wanted this to stop. I was in the apartment all day, with Adam and James, and Nikki and Amanda and Wes KNEW where I was as well.
What am I supposed to say to this? I didn't do it, I wanted this to stop. IF I had vandalized Pamela's car, it would have been either the first night, after she shaving creamed mine and hid hers in a private lot (regardless of what anyone may say, Pamela and I both know that she DID participate in that, which is mostly okay, because it was just shaving cream. and silly string.), or, it would have been right after I found my car the second time, which I also have very few doubts Pamela had a hand in. I wouldn't have waited something like 3 weeks to get her back- and I certainly wouldn't have done it now that she actually said hi to me a couple days ago (I wasn't here at the time) and spoke a bit to me in Amanda's room.
I don't know who vandalized her car, and I couldn't guess why unless they were trying to make it look like I did it, or unless they were just angry.

Saturday night we got invited over to Emily's for dinner.... It was pretty good, all of it, that is, the company, the food, the fun.
After dinner, however, we decided to play a drinking game version of screw your neighbor. there was some debate about whether or not I was going to be the designated driver, but then James was going home, so he offered to come pick us up. That was cool with everyone then.

later, James tried to convince us all he COULD drive...
and this is where I stop this post. I got pissed off, angry, and otherwise worried about the events afterwards. luckily, no one got hurt or otherwise injured, and no one who had been drinking drove (even though they may have wanted to). And it doesn't really matter, in the grand scheme of things.
I live with two people named James, to clear that up. Anyway, life goes on.

Windwaker rules. totally awsome game... I played it for about 13 hours straight (both fortunately and unfortunately) mostly without a walkthrough, and managed to save my sister and defeat Ganon's bird slave, and that's about all I will say JUST in case someone is wanting to play it and doesn't want it spoiled...
sorry I missed ya, Chad, I was playing windwaker, I think. either that or bridge with my roomates... I recognized your screenname, actually, because it matched your email... hopefully I will be there the next time.
the 30 hour mark is coming, and I'm trying TO live on everyone else's schedule, now.. so I need some sleep.
I am also rereading L.E. Modesitt's Magic Engineer, it's a great book. that's pretty much it, except my brother borrowed my blazer to run off and go see Jester (andey's girlfriend wants to see the cave, so rex agreed to take them...) and of course, he needs the 4 wheel drive for that, so I have his buick for a couple days.

Pamela messaged me and said she didn't know that Nikki and Amanda where with me when she called...
Fine... I accept that. Is this work outable?
Raymond told me he wasn't mad at me, which is a good thing. He said he hadn't really been, either. That's a relief, I was genuinely concerned he was hurt. *sigh*

I've been playing Ocarina of Time: Master Quest, and it's a pretty fun game. couple of puzzles so far have had me stuck for long periods of time, while for the most part, The "normal" ocarina of time wasn't so bad.
It's a fun game, I really enjoy it, but, unfortunately, it is just something else that is messign with my sleep, not that it wasn't messed up enough allready.

They mostly only come at night. Mostly.

I didn't think it would, but the fact that Pamela has severed our friendship, lashed out at me, and lied to me about pretty much anything with any relevance over the past couple weeks, hurts.
It really does. she was a good friend, and knowing that she could do those things over what started as a dumb fight hurts, too.
It hurts that she called to Amanda to invite amanda and nikki to go to KFC with her when she KNEW they were with me. it hurts that she knew I wouldn't come because Russ was going.
Please, Pamela. I just want this to stop. You were at one time a really good friend. is that not possible? People (on both sides) say hurtful things when they are angry, but hopefully people are able to move on.

I also put up a picture of the first picture from "deep space" (historically). the picture is from 1966 (Aug. 23rd) and was taken 232,000 miles from earth. Earth is just a quarter crescent... the lunar orbiter that took the picture is about 730 miles above the moon, so it's really big in the picture and you can see all the craters. It's in black and white, but it's still cool.

and the bebop poster got here, too! great! they're both up on the wall.....
I had no idea that movie poster frames were so expensive. wow. hobby lobby wanted 50 bucks for a nice frame, and then they're about 40 apeice on ebay...
I need to find a cheaper plasticy one, I don't want to spend more on poster frames than i did on the posters.
For now, I hung them on the wall with duck tape... *wince* because I don't have anything else.... I'll just have to be ridiculously careful taking them down.... growl...
they look really good up on my walls, though! yay!

the matrix poster has arrived! no sign of the bebop poster yet though....

you ever been surfing across the internet and hit a huge flashy banner that says "we have detected that there may be spyware on YOUR computer! click here for more details!"
man. how annoying. chances are, if you visit that site, they're either going to send you some virus that they will "remove for some amount of money," or they are going to make you download some sort of spyware that will keep popping up pestering windows until you are forced to somehow remove it.
Ads suck. I don't care what anyone says, people who put ads on their sites to make more money are sellouts, even if they do it only to cover the cost of the site.

Bill O'Reilly sucks, freedom of speech rules.

Bill O'reilly really does suck. I'm severly tempted to try the bingo game maddox posted.

On a different note, I was driving amanda home from my apartment to the dorms earlier, and as I drive down jenkins after having turned right off of Constitution, I see a couple of police cars waiting to get onto jenkins from the parkinf lot at the park. I was going the speed limit, so I wasn't concerned. As I approach timberdell, a white truck runs the stop sign and makes a left turn onto jenkins, pulling in front of me.
I pull into the dorm lot, and what do you know? the police cars follow me in. they flash their lights and pull me over, and I wonder what they want. I wasn't speeding, and I took care of my damn tag, so what could it be? The police officer walks up to my window, and asks for my crivers liscense and registration. I hand over the liscense and start digging for the insurance, which I I coulnd't find.
I sit there expecting him to say "do you know why I pulled you over tonight?" I don't think I've ever heard an officer not say that. To my surprise, he doesn't. Instead, he says in a very questioning and unsure voice, "you know that stop sign back there at timberdell and jenkins? you kinda ran it when you made your left turn..."
surprise! I didn't turn off of timberdell.
I respond, "no sir, I was coming from my apartment, and I made a turn off of constitution."
The officer says, "oh, well.. we saw a truck run that stop sign, and the other unit made the call, and I wasn't sure."
I say something to the effect of "there was a white truck" and the officer says, "allright, thanks. you have a good night."
I sit there, glad I didn't get a ticket, especially for something I didn't do... and also feeling dumb that I can't find my insurance.
as I was walking with amanda into the dorms, I find the insurance. it was in my wallet, it had just managed to slip behind something else. At least I had it.
I think what happened is that the second police car saw the truck run the stop sign, and thought it was me, and had the other guy pull me over. the police officer wasn't sure, and i think when he was walking up on my blazer, which doesn't look at all like a white pickup (adding to the fact that I passed them as they were waiting at the parking lot exit, and he must've noticed what I was driving there) he started realizing I wasn't the one that ran the stop sign. I guess even police make mistakes like that from time to time.
man. I hate being pulled over.

The internet in our apartment spazzed, and none of us could get on for like 30 minutes... It's working fine now... but everyone I was talking to has been gone for some time. The dishwasher's running, and I'm hoping I can get a good night's sleep for once.

I love it when people slip up in conversations, revealing that they knew something they were trying to hide. I also love the fact that there are a couple people out there who check this, and read it, JUST to see what silly thing I have done next, or to see if I have written anything else about them. that cracks me up.

I find it amusing, now, that I didn't get that mad about the car thing. I could have, and others certainly would have. but, I was only mad for about 15 minutes, and then I just kind of laughed.
Pamela doesn't want any more fighting. that's fine, after "you are someone I had to remove from my life," I can agree. I don't see any reason we should fight at all.
The entire thing is amusing on retrospect.

things change, but life goes on.

wow. today is going to be a good day, I can feel it. I'll even whistle on the way to the cleaners!

For someone who likes maddox so much, you certainly are concerned with whether or not being named on someone's site is "infringment."

I apparently offended someone by posting their name on here. I also apparently "vioated their rights" by doing so. wow. didn't know it meant that much, how could erik possibly have a enough influence to make anyone hate someone more?
I named someone on my page and they freak. why? maybe it matters to them that people they don't even know will come and read this and judge them. NO one is going to hate you more because of reading this, get over it.

I think the thing is, this is my personal site. I am not responsible for who reads it, and people aren't forced to read it. if I post something that you said to me (Pamela) that's my right. it's freedom of speech, and freedom to express my opinions. no one is forced to read this.
I will say, however, that people who read this might form an opinion BASED upon what is written here. I write stuff so that it either lets people form their own opinion, or so that it slants my way (I have, however, never lied on here, nor will I. there's no need, i post things as I see them, and why lie? the majority of people who read this are just reading it to see what is going on in my life, and lying about what is going on never accomplished anything), i.e. people see things from my side of the story.

Now. there are some instances where I will change my posts. If I offend someone I care about, or betray someone's confidance, then I will change a post.

This is my webpage to tell what I will, and I will tell it from my perspective. if you want people to see your perspective, make your own page, and stop whining to me about what I post.

Allright. someone truly vandalized my car.
"I HATE BLACK PEOPLE" across the backend in sticky lettering
vaseline on the door handles
and something that smells like amonia on the inside of my car.
Now, there are't that many people that know how to get into my car without keys.
Fewer still that would make me have to go to the effort of taking it to the cleaners and washing the insides, and getting the vaseline off the handles.
also, there was the smily face in the frost on my passenger window, not that a smily is vandalism.
I found out because raymond called me, and wanted me to come over. he was having a bad night.
I wish this would just stop. I didn't strike back.. nor am I going to.

What would have Pamela's reaction been if someone had done the stuff to her car that was done to mine? she'd freak.

I don't know whether or not it was out of anger or not, but Pamela cut me out of her life.
she said I was too negative, and then she said that's why I had to cut you out, have a nice life. I don't know if she meant it, but regardless, I would like to know, how many people think I am negative? other than pamela, of course. I think, the real reason she's cutting me out is that I wasn't buying her bullshit at that moment. I'm tired of it.
Pamela is one of only a couple people that thinks I am negative. People that actually talk to me, that is.
Pamela also criticized me for playing with someone's feelings. Well.. on that, I didn't mean to. I simply decided I couldn't date nikki. now, I understand why nikki would be mad... and i dealt with it with her. poorly, but i did. and then I owned up to the fact that I handled it poorly and like an ass, and I handled it a little better. at this point, I have salvaged it as nicely as I can. but I sure as hell don't deserve criticism from pamela, especialy on something she herself did. at least I was nice about it. from her own mouth, "Russ made me take care of it, maybe I was mean, but it's resolved" (and because RUSSELL has requested that I make this clear, he did this not to be a bad guy but to protect Adam's feelings).

Since I never got the chance to rebuke anything Pamela said well, I will do it here.
and, for the record, pamela's screenname has been removed... so no one will message her and bother her.

Pamela (1:24:43 AM): eric omg you play board games and sleep all day
Order Focus (1:24:44 AM): don't xcriticize me for the things you do
Order Focus (1:24:48 AM): whaty//
Order Focus (1:25:11 AM): what?
Pamela (1:25:35 AM): what the hell is with this stuff about waste of a human being
Pamela (1:25:36 AM): blah blah
Pamela (1:25:44 AM): everything sucks blah blah

actually, things are pretty good. I made a post about being a waste after I told nikki it wouldn't work. I hurt her, and it felt terrible. People generally regret hurting others, I know I do. I hate it. and when I hurt her and told her no, I did feel like a waste and a failure. luckily, I don't generally feel that way, but sometimes people who care regret their actions, especially when they hurt people who are fundamentally good.

Pamela (1:27:05 AM): your just in this hole and you dont seem to come out
Pamela (1:27:15 AM): omg and your an idiot
Pamela (1:27:26 AM): going nowhere and being a failure are two completely diff things
Pamela (1:29:00 AM): and you can criticize me all you want but everything is positive in my life
Pamela (1:29:08 AM): i have reminded myself where i am going
Pamela (1:29:17 AM): i have made new friends and found some new hobbie
Pamela (1:29:19 AM): s
Order Focus (1:29:24 AM): good.,
Order Focus (1:29:26 AM): I am glad.
Pamela (1:29:30 AM): i have dumped some bad habits and dumped some bad people
Order Focus (1:29:32 AM): I know what I want, and I know where I am going
Order Focus (1:29:45 AM): but I haven't been able to find a job
Order Focus (1:29:54 AM): and Ican't work on my car in this weather
Order Focus (1:30:03 AM): and I certainly can't hunt snakes in this weather
Order Focus (1:30:07 AM): so
Order Focus (1:30:16 AM): all I can do is GO NOWHERE fast


she told me previously in this conversation I was going nowhere fast and picking up bad habits. Fine. Currently, I am going nowhere fast. I don't have a job yet, I am not going to school this semester, and all I really can do is go out and get job applications (it seems pamela ignored the fact that I have been doing just that, or maybe she didn't know) and cook here and have friends over. She seems to say I don't know where I am going or I don't know what I want in this conversation. but, since the last fight me and pamela had, we have said more or less nothing. one day she came over and acted like nothing had ever happened ever, and we were good ol' pals again. I guess not. maybe she's mad that I knew, and have proof, that she was lying about something from the previous fight. well, it doesn't matter, I thought it was forgive and forget.

And finally, the last peice of the conversation.

Pamela (1:32:21 AM): omg whatever i dont care
Order Focus (1:33:08 AM): nikki siad her peice
Order Focus (1:33:12 AM): she struck back at me
Order Focus (1:33:17 AM): she said some damned hurtful thingas
Order Focus (1:33:22 AM): and I DESERVED them
Pamela (1:33:24 AM): omg you are dense
Pamela (1:33:26 AM): so dense
Pamela (1:33:29 AM): you miss the whole point
Order Focus (1:33:32 AM): but I don't deserve your attacks
Order Focus (1:33:39 AM): I don't deserve your criticisms
Pamela (1:33:39 AM): you are someone i had to remove from my life
Pamela (1:33:43 AM): you are sooo negative
Pamela (1:33:51 AM): omg just whatever fine
Pamela (1:33:59 AM): we shouldnt talk to each other it just pisses us off
Order Focus (1:34:00 AM): no
Order Focus (1:34:04 AM): I a not so negative!
Pamela (1:34:05 AM): have a good life
Order Focus (1:34:09 AM): i'm not!

Order Focus (1:34:13 AM): goddamnit
Pamela signed off at 1:34:15 AM.


that is probably the worst you will ever see me type, in that conversation. congrats, you get to see it now... and probably never again. I don't really know what to think... it's like the moment I stop buying Pamela's bull shit and stop giving her the attention she wants, I'm done. I'm sorry, but simply discarding someone like that isn't what I'd call a friend. friend's can't simply make that decision, especially because one is "too negative." so maybe we were never friends. not real ones. You have a nice life too, pamela. sorry I was too negative for you.

I apparently edit things and leave things out to make them slant my way. So, here is the ENTIRE conversation. unedited... except for pamela's screenname. If I get accused of having left something out, I'll just post it again, with the screenname included...the timestamps are there, though, and it would have been a lot fo work to edit those. People piss me off so much

Man. Diplomacy RULES. well.... It's fun, anyway. takes for freakin' ever, though. good game, anyone who likes risk and has more patientce than a dime stamp should enjoy it. Also, Smirnoff makes some really good vanilla-twist vodka.

I'm starting a marinade for some tandoori chicken, which I will then turn into makkahni murgh (or simply butter chicken). It's the best food (or, behind deppak's tandoori crab and a couple other things) to ever grace the planet. EVER. it'll marinade overnight and then I'll throw it in the oven and cook it up for 25 minutes on broil. after that, you make the sauce and throw the chicken in and cook it for a bit longer. if you want the recipe look for maddhur jaffrey's recipe, it's my favorite (after some modification, of course!)

that's all for now!
