Fix the planet

I don’t understand why people just don’t agree to fix our planet.

Chotto hoye ashche akash,
Choto hoye jachche bhumi.
Pritibi jodi naiba robe,
Kothai robo tumi ami.

And for those who don’t know what it means….

The sky is getting smaller,
The earth is getting smaller.
If this planet is not gonna be there,
Where are we going to stay?

A double whamy

Something is wrong this weekend. I mean really, something doesn’t feel right. I was going to go see my sister but I got lazy and stayed in. Becuz of which I ended up going to return my space heaters as they were dying. During that process I found a open box of 30 DVD+R’s for $1.88 which was regularly priced at $12.88. Great. Today, I hd to go get some kitty litter and for some reason I picked up the 10 lbs bag and I paid $1.94 instead of the lable that said that it was $5.94.

Does this mean soon I will have a huge loss coming my way?

Windows Vista 64-bit

A couple of weeks ago I got notified by Bink.nu that as their member I can apply for a evaluation for Windows Vista. I figured why the hell not. So I applied and, as usual, forgot all about it. Today I was surprised by an email from Micro$oft asking me to accept or decline the request. So now I’m officially getting a copy of Windows Vista 64-bit on my system! It still has 10 hours to download (no thanx to slow DSL connections) but it’s gonna be there tomorrow. And then may be it won’t have all the horrific SATA problems that I heard Beta 1 had.

I can’t wait to play around with it. The idea of a 3D accelerated Desktop is like looking at OS X :P

Update: Screenshots are up. Check them out.

New year’s resolution

My only new year’s resolution for 2006 is to not blame my mistakes on others. We all know how hard that is.

Not what you think

The New Year. It should bring you fun stories and such likes from all the different walks of life, but the truth is, life isn’t that nice. I’ll tell you why shortly, but before I descend into my ranting state let me assure you my readers that this is not a personal attack on any of you. Yet, sadly this is might just be a anti-girl rant. (As always; may be I need to pick up a different topic to rant on, sometimes.)

My question to all the ladies out there, is why do sometimes people find is compelling to lie. Specially when they know (or should realize) that they have an upper hand. I used to lie a lot when I was a kid, mainly to portray myself as a cooler kid that I actually was. But then I started catching other kids doing the same and suddenly it wasn’t cool anymore. It was just cooler to just be me. A kid in 4th grade once called me selfish. He was positive that I had a lot of things that I don’t share with anyone. If he only knew that my toys were all over 6 years old by then. Granted there were a few things here and there that were newer, but it wasn’t like a new RC car or something else I could show off.

At this age however, lying to someone is just not to be cooler. May be it was in college, but not any more. I mean there are so many things to feel better about. So why lie? I guess when we are threatened by someone or our jealousy rises we lie, but what about times when there is no reason for either? There is nothing to protect with those lies? Why not just have to guts to do what it takes? It’s hard, I know. But at least I’d respect that person more.

Meh, people and their personalities.
