If you have some spare web landscape:

Link Me!
Let me know that you've linked to my site and I will reciprocate the link.

Only about an hour or so left to my shift -- I'll be glad to get out of here, maybe even catch the sun setting.
Got my new tires today from tirerack and was looking at some other possibilities. Now I just have to get my rims on w/ the new tires and I'll take some pictures =]

Last night some friends and I went up to the top of a large mountain out here -- sat around a fire with some beer just looking out onto the city below. It was a beautiful night, a tad treacherous of a walk up as I (of course) didn't bring any kind of a flashlight... but I got about halfway up and there was another group of people that had pitched a tent and were just hanging out -- one of the guys - Jeff, gave me a ride up to the top via ATV and probably saved me a good 15 minutes of uphill walking =]

The orchard is probably one of my favorite places around here, a close seccond is the old Mt. Tom amusement park -- old rollercoasters, haunted house, carosel, just so much character and spookyness (best to go near twilight).
It's all rotten and falling down, there was a fire there, and vines cover most of the structures still standing -- fabulous!

Here's some links for the day:

Phenylalanine - amino acid: an essential amino acid found in many proteins and converted to a nonessential amino acid ( tyrosine - precursor to seratonin ) by the body. C9-H11-O2-N
Some say it's an aphrodisiac...

Separate the thought(s):
Well, once more my weekend seemed to dissapear completely. I didn't really have anything to do until late last night, and of course had work this morning. Not exactly a bad thing -- I had a lot of fun, a couple friends from out Boston way came out, we chilled out to some pretty cool music/visuals thanks to acidspunk.

Best Buy has Red Faction for $20, that took a lot of my time this weekend -- as did a new 40gig HD for DivX-ing goodness. Deus Ex just came out for PS2, so I pulled out my old copy for PC -- that game is hard. I guess that's why I never really played it, I'm a picky gamer... it has to be feasable for me to win -- 3D looks really good, fluid... PC games just don't match XBox, though - I'm saddend. I know it's just a matter of time before the consoles surpass the offerings for PC (if they haven't already). Companies don't want their games pirated, consoles are a sure bet that they won't be, and there's more of a mainstream market... it's sad because there's really good controllers for computer -- and everything's scalable so usually things will look even better in the future thanks to new hardware, etc.

Freedom Force - get the demo, I haven't played it yet but from what I've heard it's pretty good.

Know of any good games for PC?

At least until I can add this to my links page:
notice someone | get noticed

...as you can see I'm trying to work on my visibility. I'm determined to get the last couple kinks out of things but I'm still uncertain as to how I should work with the music page. I'd like to put a blog for each window -- though that seems a bit excessive. However -- I can simply post a song when I'm thinking of it, as opposed to opening up the site, editing, uploading, etc. I'll most likely go that route. I'm just going to post the albums as text, most of the songs should be relatively easy to find.

I'll be adding some more movie reviews/companion-cds, I've been making DivXs faster then I can watch them -- so I'll post as I get my impression(s).
As always if anyone has any questions and/or issues with DivX -- can always inquire on the discuss board.

New Thread w/ Poll

There's a few updates here and there -- Blogger is now Pro, and cleaned up a few loose ends. I have to have things looking good -- I have ad impressions out there, have to make 'em good ones. Maybe this site will even creep past the beta numbers sometime soon. I just want to make sure there's something anywhere that someone is going to click, that three are no dead pages, and that there's worthwhile information throughout the site.

I don't guarantee it's uptime -- but take a look: ftp @ 151.203.188.207

Let me know if you have any problems, preliminary setup thanks to a new hard drive just for media. =]

I want to share music. I feel there's so much that other's haven't heard -- and that there are certain songs that I hold so dear... I have to have another person hear them and hold them the same. I have my main connection with people through music. There is a lot else that I've made friends via: but none so true a feeling to be shared, as a song. Everyone's so wrapped up in "movies, tv, video!" that they're missing out on the music that's so readily available. Don't be afraid of that odd title, or new music type... just listen and see how you like it.

I'm out of the reach of the cold -- almost fully, and am currently fighting "the tiredness" but that comes with the approaching of the morning. I have a new enemy to contend with as well -- "the boredom", it's a tricky one. ** There's a big party @ Assylum tomarrow night Sat April 13th 10pm-4am+ so if anyone's interested -- get on the horn! **
I miss having a companion, but I've made up for it in attention to myself, my own health -- to reflect: "doing something for myself". Indeed. ** I put 128mb (32mb x 4) of EDO to good use today, donated it to a good cause -- a 166 for a needy individual. They needed a computer, and their roommate really needed someone to play Starcraft against. These RTS people, I'll never understand it -- I need action, now now now! No click and confirm...

Never underestimate the power of speculation, or getting all those nagging little questions out in one big whoomp.
Finally got the chance to ask those questions I could only ask myself, mere speculation on my part, anyhow -- but they were valid concerns and they'd certainly affect "potential friendship". For the most part I was reassured, I could see the true confusion, naiveté... and unknowing.

I realized that sometimes people are at different timelines, and it might as well be now rather then later. So I'm at peace, and I think she realizes a bit more the impact that the decisions we make for ourselves have on others. Though none of it really makes any sense... that's because she just hasn't figured that out for herself yet. It's for the best, I know that -- though mainly in my head.

It's time to get out, see the part of things that I haven't been able to, be the young one - myself -- again.
...just as soon as I get rid of this annoying cold*

* - and only for the lack of not quite wanting to grant it the severity of the black death do I refer to "the sickness" with this general label

{actually from yesterday - blogger was broken}

Well things are looking better, just getting over quite a whopping sickness - cold sweats, aches, went from bed to couch to kitchen. It's getting warmer out, almost don't need a jacket anymore -- can't quite wear a long sleeve shirt inside without being too hot, but maybe thats just a little bit of the sickness still there.

I had some new links that I've been stuffing in my figurative work-desktop chipmunk cheeks -- and haven't been here to put them up. Good a time as any:

Sports-brand rubber duckies
Anti-advertiser call thing
census facts
Grokster
Web Exibit
Tap
Red Octane
Synopsis of Major Magazines
Phenylalanine and it's potential sexual bennefits

I'm not going to get all sans-philosphical.
My 6 months is up. (Maybe it was up a week ago -- it just got dragged out) That's how long things are allowed to go on and be well for me. Then something happens to remind me that everything could be much worse. Sometimes it's physical, sometimes mental, usually a big pain in the ass.

If I believed her 100% -- it's just for now, it's not because I wasn't nice, kind, or thoughtful. It's not because I was respectful, treated her as an equal, and was willing to sacrifice where I could for the sake of our togetherness. It wasn't because I'm an obligation, or because I'm bad in bed. She's not wanting to be with someone else, and wasn't seeing anyone else. It's not because I demanded too much, or even asked much at all, and it certainly isn't because my feet are too small.

It's unrelated to pantookits, to gyros, or beans... it's not that my apartment is usually un-clean.
It's not that we bickered, quite calmly indeed -- because both of us were sure, and neither gave heed ;)
I'm not quite sure why, and I don't think she either -- but she must have come down with some sort of fever.

Of course we'll hang out -- why shant we shouldn't?
...because it'll remind me, that she wanted to... but couldn't.
