PFFT, you guys are slacking in this thread. BLACK MACHIIIISSSMOOOOO

Which reminds me....this topic needs more Divas. Stat.

this thread needs more WWE Divas. Stat.

I do know what this man speaks of

I was waiting for this thread but I didn't want to lose my -ness if I made it

...hopefully the weather starts to get a little colder this month coming into December. ...college is making me angry because it's frustrating. I can't complain because I worked so hard to get here but maybe it's just me not adapting to the changes in my learning environment. I'm supposed to get a check from the CUNY system that gives me money back from whatever I spent on books, and because I didn't qualify for that state grant to buy books, I'm stuck with this POS check from the government grant that pays my tuition: It's depressing because I was really depending on this check to help me in my quest for a PS3 and other things this year like the rest of my school books, future classes and stuff, but unfortunately that is not the case. The check was supposed to be in the thousands because the state grant that covers books refunds the money you don't spend and most students spend about 400/500 on books, and the grant covers up to 2100, I think. That means I could have gotten 1500/1600 back. ...Why the heck are my classes SO expensive? Oh yeah. It's because the college I go to uses stupid proprietary books ...my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and it's going to suck. My check holds no value to me, I have a class that day, as well as a doctor's appointment However my boys will stop by at night to celebrate and take me out for a couple of drinks. I love my friends. ...any GM or owner who is willing to pay $300+ Million for Alex Rodriguez is a fool and WILL be the laughing stock of baseball regardless of how talented he is. I don't think a chunk of your team's payroll should go to ONE player. Why do you think Tom Hicks could never compete in the AL West with A-Rod? His contract prevented Hicks from signing pitchers. Again, just how much money do you really need to play? ...enjoy Veterans day gentlemen...I will be in class unfortunately .

Can't see much of the text other than the drop shadows but impressive

I'm failing classes in college. It sucks and I'm not happy. I've taken a ton of steps to prevent repeated offenses, lol. I spent the entire morning and afternoon studying yesterday and the weeks prior. Maybe it's just me and I'm a bad person but ever since junior high school, when I last actually LOVED mathematics and actually passed the classes, the rest of my math teachers have all been foreign and I can't pass. I don't know, maybe it's a mental block or something but I find it hard. I've been doing well with all my computer related courses though so that's a good sign, but everything else is going down the sh*tter. That's money I'm blowing on failure. I attribute it to just me being a slow starter. The effort is there but we'll see after the first half of the semester. Once I get momentum going, it's all downhill from here.

MVP Caribe owns my soul. Thanks man.

it will not work with anything else.

...I think gamebase 08 is going to be a running joke for months to come. ...on that same note, why is it that people think the shoutbox is a search function? ...I don't have that many random thoughts today but I will be getting a vehicle to get around NYC this spring. Why? Because of the homeless and the beggars and the panhandlers that go around the subway and continue to harass people for money. ...I hate the subway. 2 dollars gives me beggars, dancers, and unnecessary entertainment. I just want to get from point A to point B without the nonsense. Once I'm through with college I am moving out.

...I just found out Jennifer is seeing someone else, after I let her know how I felt days prior. I had asked her where does she see our friendship going in the near future, if it were to ever become a relationship, she says she didn't know. I come to find out today that she is with someone. I blew a year or so rolling with this girl in hopes that things would grow but to no avail. Awesome, isn't it? I took too long. After I was raised like a gentleman, I finish again, dead last. I'm not frustrated, I've just come to realize something. I don't need to express my anger towards people, instead, I'll just vent through my grades. It's better that way. Maybe I should be the womanizing a*hole people my age are and eventually I'll revert back to this guy.

...Stirrups need to come back, Jose Cruz Jr. style. Ian Kennedy ALMOST had it, but Jose Cruz Jr. has it down to a science. ...This country has a serious self-esteem problem, especially in women. There has been a slow but substantial change in attitudes about self-esteem. We have all heard about the trend in little league sports to not keep score, not to identify winners and losers. There is a hypothesis hanging in the air that self-esteem can be built through simply trying at something. Then, we can avoid all those messy failures, and the bad feelings that go along with them. We can instead focus on encouragement, and everybody likes effort and encouragement, right? The problem is, the hypothesis is wrong. Effort and encouragement are not enough to cultivate self-esteem. Self-esteem is built through overcoming real challenges and failures. It comes from success in spite of real adversity. Societally, we moved from being a nation of a-hole fathers that simply humiliated our kids into overcoming adversity "for their own good" to a nation of nurturing mothers where nobody ever has to feel bad and everyone is special in their own way. We need something in the middle, but we haven't found it yet. ...College life is great, until I found out that I don't have money to cover my books, and that's $400 worth of books. How nice. No books, no homework = fail. ...I gotta find new friends. I take college seriously but these guys, because they have been in college a year in already, they begin to slack off, and I don't want to get involved with that. I had an 8AM class Friday and they called me up telling me that the went out and picked up a couple of chicks and they wanted to "have some fun". I tell them I have an 8AM class, and suddenly I'm a prude because I am not looking to catch some tail? Pathetic. To add insult to injury, they have girlfriends. How does that look? No wonder this generation is ruined, where's the loyalty? Pathetic.

Dan: Do you think you can make a Linux sig like the one you designed with the Apple logo for me? It can be with Tux the penguin or the fedora cap from Red Hat, as long as it's in blue.... -KC

Not as classic as calling Arroyo "BRANDON" instead of Bronson a couple years back

...it's back to school time. Man, I feel good saying that. After a year and a half not attending college, I finally managed to get everything sorted out and in tune for this week, when college starts. Everybody thinks I am rusty and I am going to struggle but I think completely the opposite. They kind of forgot that I graduated with honors, and that I was in a charter school when I was much younger. After today, a chunk of my social life will be sacrificed to achieve the 4.0 GPA I've dreamed about. I'm so happy to be where I am at this point, because many months ago I thought I would never attend because of all the problems that kept happening to me, but I didn't quit. I didn't give up because in my heart I knew I wanted to attend college so I made it possible. Here I stand, college bound, with my schedule, ID, and my book bag, and it feels good knowing that I am entering territory where many chose not to go, those that did benefited greatly from it, and I couldn't have been where I am right now if it wasn't for everybody's support, both friends and family. ...My first class is simple. English composition 101. I blog a LOT, so this should be quite a breeze. I hope. ...Vick is an idiot, and anyone who still believes he is innocent after everything that has been presented is a complete fool. ...I hate how they have commercialized the skateboard culture and pushed it into the mainstream. Now companies like Nike, who have NEVER chosen to enter the skateboard market are trying to cash in. Where were they in the last 20 years when skaters were pushing for their sport to be legalized? Where were they when skaters wanted to put on contests, or to be sponsored? I'm sure Nike and the other big name companies never pushed for a public skate park, but now that skateboarding is widely accepted, they want to cash in on it's popularity, jump in on the bandwagon and be "heroes" of sorts. Get outta here with that nonsense. ...On that topic, Skate is a great video game, but I don't like it, sole purpose being that it is an EA title and I've been playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for years since the days of Playstation 1. ...My friends want to "rebuild" me like the Six Million Dollar Man. They feel that I've deviated significantly from them to a point where I'm barely like them. I always felt that I was entitled to different tastes in everything, music, clothes, girls, entertainment, so what the fsck? ...So Jennifer is in Albany for college, and I did not make a move. When she is due to come back, (November or so) I will make a move. I won't ask her out, but I will ask for some clarity. Where does she see our friendship going? I feel it can be something more, it has the potential to be something past being friends, but that is up to her. If things don't work out, we'll still be cool at the end of the day, so I won't put my emotional state in her hands like a lot of guys do with women... ...For Halloween, I want a Daft Punk helmet. ...If the Yankees do not advance anywhere in the post season, Torre deserves the blame. People can say "4 WORLD SERIES, 4 WORLD SERIES" but forget that he costs us 2 WS as well.

A brush? A BRUSH? I usually right-click on the text layer then click on Blending Options and mess with the Outer Glow section

This method is the equivalent of CTRL+ALT+DEL for Windows lol

with the crop provided by me ;)

OK here we go. ...I found it ridiculously tiring after I came home from my first date. No, it wasn't my first date EVER, but it was a first you know, actual date with someone I really like. I will explain it completely in my blog. ...Daft Punk have decided to release a LIVE CD version of their show. Too bad there is no DVD version yet. I completely missed the Keyspan show, and all I have now is just a fan version of the audio from the show with a crap load of conversation. ...I saw Superbad. It's the funniest movie I have ever seen next to Borat. Yes. I said it. It's up there with Borat. Unlike the Apatow films Knocked Up and 40 Year Old Virgin, it doesn't have the formula of "funny for first hour, next 30 minutes become sappy chick flick". It's genuinely funny throughout. ...I start college Monday, August 27th. It's going to be such a nervous day for me, as I haven't attended an educational facility in about a year and a half since I graduated, due to circumstances beyond my control. However I plan on just hitting the books HARD and sacrificing a huge chunk of my social life to get my intellect back. ...My friends are awesome even though we may hate each other's guts at times. Friendships will always have that dynamic and we all understand that at the end of the day we will still be boys.

Cheapest? Dude this game has not been released past the 2006 season, it's a collectible by now.

...I'm back to blogging again after a couple weeks off. ...I might have a potential girlfriend but I don't want to rush things nor do I want to feel forced to make a move. We hung out last sunday for a chunk of the afternoon and evening in downtown Manhattan just shopping and chatting around. She's a great girl. I'm kind of stuck here. ...I just found out I might get a vehicle to go to college around April 2008. ...I managed to catch the Daft Punk show at Keyspan Park on thursday. It's impossible to put it into words, but before you pass away, you must see it. Nothing is better than seeing Daft Punk split their 3 albums into a billion different rhythms, synths and basslines and make completely new mixes out of them, along with a lightshow that is completely in sync to what they mix. ...I called the name of my new blog "Rebuilding Me" because I feel like I gotta start my life over, and in order to do that, I have to sacrifice the things I used to love to move forward. It's that willingness to sacrifice and a ton of other things that will only help me grow as a person. ...Total MLB is still stuck in a Beta but this week might just be the official release. I'm still working on the MiLB project though. ...My bro is staying in NYC for another week, and he'd like to stay incognito as long as he is in NYC because he says he doesn't want to meet or socialize with anyone that he has known here. My bro is no stranger to NYC, he's lived here for a chunk of his childhood. I on the other hand, plan to move out in the near future. When will that happen? I can't say, but most likely in 2010. ...Girls, Girls, Girls...I've hung out with a majority of the girls I have known within the past year, but although I am cool with all of them, at one point, prior to meeting Jennifer, one girl wanted to make me her BFF, which is an ultimate slap in the face to me, as my main objective was to be her boyfriend. I mean, I was still able to be her boyfriend if I was her BFF but that would be an ridiculously long way to go. Being in the friend zone sucks, just ask Chris
