awsome super safe saw - Click Here for more great videos and pictures!
All pretty cool, eh?
I am just so amazed by stuff like this. The more I see these type of things, the more I wish I had continued with Computer Engineering. Oh well, such is life.

Yeah. I’m going to filter this entry. What of it?
I hope John and Holly are happy. They have completely removed my desire for anything. I guess this happens when you loose a close friend over something so stupid. Of course, I mean stupid referring to what I said in a couple of voice messages I left on John’s phone. Everyone tells me that I should just get over it and move on. That I should work on removing John as a friend. I can’t do that. I go to bed every night extremely sad because another day has gone by and I still haven’t received a call from John.
I even contemplated suicide. Thinking, “That would show them what happens when you don’t forgive someone.” Writing the suicide note that explicitly says it was their fault. Then I realized that I have other friends that would be sad. Not to mention Lexy. I like to think that she would be so pissed that she would follow me into whatever afterlife there is just to kick my ass. Dave and Natasha, Adam, Steve, my parents, other members of my family. I think Dawn might be sad too, but you’d never guess it since she’s never home. ;) Ok, maybe I should let up on those “Dawn’s never home” jokes. She has other people besides us.
Taking your own life for someone who wouldn’t care is definitely not worth it.
I do have Dave. He’s always been an awesome guy and it sometimes makes me feel bad that I’ve looked him over in the past year. I don’t think he thinks about that anymore, or whether he ever did, I don’t know. All I know now is Dave is a better friend. He understands that when I get pissed, that if he just gives me time to cool down, then we cool. I think John had that too, but I think Holly might have convinced him otherwise.
Not that Holly is a bad person, she is trying to protect herself and her husband. I can’t blame her for that.
I have been getting better about controlling my temper. I don’t get upset at people as often, but a person’s past can definitely come back to haunt them. That’s what happened between me and John and Holly. I suddenly, for one reason or another, was asked to carry too much without an answer from those two and I broke. I think what did it was that they were more than happy to tell other people the problems they had with us, but never us. Things could have been so much better with communication. I don’t know how many times I need to apologize. I doubt it ever did any good. I would love to just sit down with the two of them and explain everything. That will never happen, though. At this point the conversation is passive. Kind of like TV.
I hope the pain will go away.

Yesterday was my birthday. I would have updated, but Mike came by and we were hanging out.
I got my birthday present from Lexy. It’s a PS3. I am happy. I have been having a few issues with it, but it turns out most of them aren’t the PS3’s fault. I can’t download Folding@Home right now, but it turns out there is a problem accessing the server that holds the download. The download comes from Sony and then when you get the app working, it starts talking to Stanford’s servers. I know that it’s now our PS3 because a few other people who got a PS3 recently are having the same issue. I was able to download flOw for Lexy. We can download things from the Playstation Store, but not the Folding@Home app. There is a Lemmings game that Lexy might like to download. Five bucks ($5) for flOw and six bucks ($6) for the Lemmings game. Not a bad deal.
We got a pretty good deal on the PS3 as well. We have $225 in gift cards to Target as well as getting a Target Card, I got another $80ish bucks off. Pretty freaking sweet. It was still godawful expensive getting the system, a second controller, two games, and the Blu-Ray remote. The two games I got are Resistance: Fall of Man and Motorstorm. R:FM is pretty good. I like games with co-op. Though co-op does make me a bit sad because it reminds me of John. *sigh* Maybe someday we’ll hang out again. I’ll get over it.
This guy can’t wait for LittleBigPlanet. One of the main reasons I wanted a PS3. Q1 2008. Oy.
Halo 3 in September! Finally.
I am such a fucking nerd.
EDIT: I went by their apartment. I think he was home, there were a few lights on and the TV was on as well. I don’t know if he was just napping or ignoring me. Adam. I think you are my only hope. Help me Adam-wan Kenobi. You’re my only hope.
I can’t get John to just talk to me. I’ve tried calling him and calling him and waiting and calling. I wanted to know if he wanted to get together for my birthday on Wednesday, but he hasn’t called me back.
Can someone who is in good with him get a hold of him and try to get an explanation for why he won’t return my calls? I don’t want to just go over to his house because while that might have been cool with him a while ago, I’m sure it isn’t now.
I’m a fucking wreck.

Just a great, great episode all around.
We got back from the float trip. It was fun. Nobody got pissed at each other and everyone seemed to have a good time. I had a good time, I know that. I am pretty sunburned on my arms and knees. Dave and I manned the canoe with most of our stuff in it. You know, tents, clothes, random stuff. The girls (Lexy, Natasha, and Madison) womanned the other canoe with them and the food. They flipped a couple of times, but nothing really important was lost. Then when we got back to the car yesterday afternoon we found on top of the van next to our car had three exact items we lost on the trip. The same style and color of Lexy’s hat, Lexy’s Key Lime Wal-Mart brand water, and Madison’s waterproof camera. Kinda creepy. I hope Madison develops those pictures and it turns out it is our stuff. That’d be weird.
We were supposed to come back today, but the girls had had enough of the river after about four hours into the second day. We were going on damn near eight to nine hours on the water in two days and they really wanted to go to Lambert’s. So we got off the river at a campsite and ran into a driver from the place we rented our canoes from. He was there to pick up someone else and agreed to take us back to our car as well. We got rather lucky, I would say. Even though I think Dave and I could have finished the run, it would have taken us another four to six hours. I can’t say that I wasn’t relieved to get off the river and head home. The trip was fun, but I was not looking forward to another night of camping without a camp pad. Turns out it sucks sleeping on the ground.
In other news, I updated the gallery to use Flickr. I wish I could have more than two albums without paying for it, but overall, I like the fact that it works better than the previous gallery I had set up.
I also have added a plugin that will allow me to remove chunks of or whole posts so only logged in subscribers could read it. I figure it’s safer that way. I wish there was a way to do it without a plugin, but whatever, things are the way they are.

If you can read this and are logged in, the plugin is probably working. If you can’t read this and are not logged in, the plugin is working.

Well, not really. Lexy and I are going on a canoe float trip with Dave, Natasha, and Madison. I hope it turns out fun. I think it will, but I am always worrying about one thing or another. The river level, the campsites, the weather, the blah blah blah. Nothing to do but just go and do it and see what happens. I really hope we don’t have to drag the canoes along the river. From what I’ve seen, the river is around 2 to 3 feet above normal, which I think is good, but I don’t know what normal is for Jack’s Fork River. I looked at a map of where I think we are floating and there appears to be a cave that can only be accessed from the river. Maybe we should check that out.
We should be getting Pan’s Labyrinth in today from Netflix. Maybe we can use that as a peace offering to John and Holly. I remember them being interested in seeing it. I hope they do well as the Ren Faire in St. Louis this weekend. I hope things work out for them. I hope John decides to watch the UEFA Cup Final Match with me on Wednesday. Wednesday is my birthday. I can hope all I want, but the only thing I can do is keep trying. Hopefully they won’t slap a restraining order on me. That would be bad. I might get the hint then. Maybe.
I’m off to find things to keep a pair of shoes and several pairs of socks dry while in a canoe. I’m thinking vacuum seal bags and trash bags. That should work.
