So I took a bite...

And now let me tell you, my new iMac is pure win. The set up on it was like:

1. Remove computer from box, and place on desk.
2. Plug in; power, keyboard, mouse and Ethernet cable.
3. Turn on.

After you turn it on, it walks you through some short little thing, and you set up your user account etc, maybe 5 minutes total. And boom, I was on line and downloading wow. (Much easier to DL it than to use the discs)

And it did not dawn on me until right now. I got on the Internet with out a huge hassle. Last few time we got a new PC it was at least an hour trying to figure out how to get it to open to the web...

nuff said.

An Apple a day...

Well it got here today. The Apple of my eye LOL. I never thoguht about a new computer purchase as being this important. I have, since posting on Facebook that my Mac had arived, been insulted.

But who cares, people will give me grief over the strangest things. But I am just here to say how very happy I am that I now have my Mac.

Now soon you canhear me complain about not bieng able to do stuff cause I don't know how!

Sierra Hotel India Tango

You know I have lived in lots of different types of towns all around the west coast. I am very happ where I am at right now, but I do miss somethings from the other areas. Silly things, some things that did not even register until I left the area. So here is my list of things I miss and where I miss them from and why:

Ocean breeze-Huntington Beach, CA
Never thought I would miss this, but it is kind of nice to know when it is hot, the sun beating down on you and all of a sudden that breeze kicks in... pure heaven.

The vast amount of different things to do-Santa Ana, CA
From this location, and a few city's around it, you can be a great many places really rather fast. Beach, mountains, hiking, shopping, LA, Tijauna. Hell with in 4 hours you can be in Vegas. It is a great central location to be based out of. A solid public transportation, airports, trainstations etc... If I was going to build a world HQ it would be in Santa Ana California.

Late night anything-Las Vegas, NV
Honestly 24 hours a day 7 days a week. All things are possible. I used to work a swing shift, I would leave work about 1am. Now where in the hell am I going to cash my check... Oh Yeah AZ Charlie's here I come. Want to drink oh yeah ALL the bars are open. Want to drink, chat, get laid? Oh yeah SINCITY! Now really what I am missing most is the late night Starbucks BS festivals. We would sit on the patio, playing cribbage, smoking cigars. Oh yeah, the warm breeze blowing in off the dessert, the night sky with all the lights. And no one even acting like it was strange. I do really miss that.

The silence-Bullhead City, AZ
Oh how it got so very very quit in the early evening, you could almost hear the river from blocks away. This is where I learnd to love the dessert landscape, as the sunset crept away and the silence began to take hold. It was almost like the sand would catch on fire just for an instance. Then the flood of moonlight would put it out.

Friends and family-Mission Veijo, CA
I was raised, and lived in California for the better part of my life. I moved away just as I was turni9ng 25. California had offered me very few options and because of my being an idiot, I blew them all. So I left to start over. But I had to leave all I knew behind. Scariest thing I had ever done, but my friends were behind me 100%. My family thought I was insane, but hell the whole lot of them never traveled oputside the state... except during wartime. And I do miss them all very much, my brother and sister having children and now they are grown and have little need of me. Friends got married/divorced and I was not there to party with them.

And thats all I have time for now, there will be more later.

Stop what you are doing, get down apon your knees, I have a message for you. You better believe

Why is it that when you think all is going as it should the other shoe drops? I have 2 things in my head today. Both of these things could make my pet peeves list, but their scope is way too immense to put on that level. Meaning, they are too important, these things will have an effect on the world.

The Worthington’s of Oregon City were found mostly not guilty on charges of Manslaughter in the faith healing death of their 15 month old daughter. See she had a blood infection and pneumonia. Easy to treat, no blood transfusions needed, I know cheap shot at other sects that reject Doctors.

Well people I am here to tell you:

God will heal you if you have faith. But only if that faith is strong enough, only if that faith is 100% unshakable. If it is, well then you suck and are going to die a painful agonizing death all while being mocked by the church that you attend and give 10%, and always go to the work around the church days! Because you did not believe enough…

OK I have now taken the tongue from my check and will tell you:

Stop doing that, just stop. Yes Pray, use your faith and your love. These things are important to the healing process. But come on, no doctors? We, in Portland, just had another 16 year old boy die from a bladder infection. Now you must kill another child? Here is one for you, did you know Luke yeah the one in the New Testament was a physician? Yeah, one of Gods chosen 12 was a doctor. But now we need to have faith to be healed? I think the medical profession is fine and plays its part in our world as does faith, and love and laughter as well as nature. These things all joined together helps you heal. But then again, sometimes it is your time to go.

In my opinion they should have gotten jail time. The father will, maybe as long as a year! That will teach them…

The other thing seems some French factory works have taken their bosses and kidnapped them. Oh how I dream of this, but just dream. They are only doing their jobs, they have to make cuts. If you get cut in the first round, you were a slacker, or low on seniority. Second round, you were one of those boarder line people, good job one day, rather lax the next. Third round, this is tough as you are a good worker, just not the superstar they were hoping to have.

But come on people, you keep doing this and the bosses will start carrying knifes, fire arms etc. They will start to fight back, and then people will get hurt. This will be bad for all workers.

Trust me, I understand but cannot condone this.

A few things

These things bug the living hell right out of me:

Forest fires:
Man made put them out. Natural, let them burn, protect lives and property, but other than that let it burn. It grows back; this is how the forests renew themselves. All part of the greater plan, nothing man does will last for ever if left alone. we push at nature and it pushes back.

Beauty contests for children:
In no way is this entertainment, in no way does this help society, in no way is this thing even respectable for any reason. The mothers that push their daughters into this do just that PUSH! FORCE! COMPEL! The most important thing into posing for pedophiles, And don't even try to say no it is all about inner beauty or anything other than giving the pedophiles something to get off over. These little girls are encouraged to put on sexy outfits and pose in provocative ways and then what blow kisses? WAKE THE FUCK UP! You are doing nothing but pimping your daughter out and should be in jail for it.

And finally...

Hot water heaters:
Really? Are we going to heat the hot water? We might pre-heat our water but we will never heat our hot water. I would rather you call it a boiler than a hot water heater, because it is closer to describing what it really does much more than a hot water heater. Maybe even a hot water tank, but never a hot water heater.

Well that’s some of what pisses me off.

Computer decided...

that it no longer wanted to function in a manner that is consistent with reality. Gonna buy me a new one. But after a long, long time looking and many discussions I have opted for plan B. I am going to go with an Imac.

I will let you know how that goes.

As for the 4Th of July, well it is my 10Th anniversary. Gonna go see fireworks at the coast. Will be great fun, it always is.

As well as getting into Geocaching, I think that is how it is spelled been rather tied up and not the good way either. Lots of walking outdoors and fresh air and sunshine and OH GOD, HILLS! ALWAYS WITH THE UP HILLS! But it is fun. If you are looking for a reason to be outside try it. All you need is a map and a GPS.

Well thats about it.
