At some kind of camp and I live in a cabin up on a hill. Walking back one day I hear the radio and it says there's a killer that broke out of a prison nearby and for all campers to watch out. I'm with someone, I don't remember who, but it was someone I knew. We walked up the hill to our cabin, it was night. Opened the front door and went inside. We went to the kitchen and no one was there. "Weird," I said. The person with me said "Why?" "Because I've never not seen anybody here. There's always someone else here." Still silence as we walk through the kitchen. Then my view changes. Instead of viewing the scene from my own eyes, its like the camera moved. It panned so it was watching us from the side, walking. We walked past a door and in the background through the door out of the window in the back you could see a figure standing there. Then the camera cuts back to my first person view. Both of us get back to my room, in the back of the cabin. We walk into the living room and jump to see someone sitting at the computer. He's the maintenance guy for the cabin place. "I thought all you kids had left," he said. "No, we're still here" "Ok," he said, "just be careful." I turn and leave the person I'm with, talking to this guy. I walk to the kitchen and again the camera leaves my point of view and circles around me, showing a shadow on the wall. The camera cuts back to my view. I finish in the kitchen and turn around. The maintenance guy and my friend are gone. The chair he was sitting in still twirling around slowly, squeaking. I hear a door close. I can't move. Something is wrong. Why can't I move? I feel that something is there. It must be getting closer. My voice doesn't work. Too scared to move. Then the camera cuts again. Now I'm looking at myself from behind. I hear breathing. Then the camera races towards me, in the camera I see a sheen. A knife. It must be a knife. Camera moving closer to me, closer and closer. Its almost upon me. Then the camera cuts back to my first person view and I think to myself "Its all going to be ok." Violent cut to black....

Alarm goes off. I wake up and it takes me literally at least 5 minutes to realize what was going on. That it wasn't real. It was so real. And I couldn't tell it was going to be bad. Usually with nightmares I can tell they're nightmares, wake up, not let them finish. Not this time, I didn't know until it was too late. My view changed too. I switched points of view. From myself, to a floating camera, to the killer. And in each point of view I knew only what that view would tell me. While in the floating camera view, I knew everything, where I was, where the killer was. In the killer's view I could tell where I was and where "I" was that he would kill. I felt rage. In my point of view, I didn't know about the killer seen in the window, I didn't know for such if there was someone else there. It was as if a movie came to life, with me playing all the roles, getting in all their heads. It was really wierd.

I had a dream earlier last night about miniature golf. Something about rigging a golf putter to win a contest to do something. I don't know. It was a happy dream, I just don't remember it. Anyway, hope all my peeps out there in NuTang-world have a good day today.

Later.

"Its a grand way to design webpages and break functional parts into simple reusable components. It cuts down on development time and makes the resulting pages simple and easy to read and maintain. Fusebox is the future of dynamic web page development in today's fast paced success driven business world. Join the fusebox revolution today!"

That above paragraph is ripped from their webpage. Its this framework that supposedly makes creating PHP, ASP, and ColdFusion web app quick and easy. Its a load of crap. Its the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Its implemented really sloppily and go to their wesite http://www.fusebox.org look around and tell me if that doesn't look like a Fortune 500 company to you. What it looks like to me is some rag tag group of developers trying to further their solution to web development. Fine. More power to you. I wish I'd have thought of something like this and gotten people to use it. But I personally think it sucks.

It is so enormously complex and confusing to just make a one page site!! It take, and no i'm not making this up, 10 files to put "Hello World" up on your browser. 10 freaking files! And guess what, you have to edit some of them and set parameters to display your one "Hello World" file. Easy?? No, try overly complicated and round about.

I wouldn't even bother using it, except that what my new boss wants me to use. He proclaims to me at our first meeting:

"So.. we're going to be using Fusebox. Have you used it before?"
"No, I haven't heard of it."
"You haven't heard about it!!" *proceeds to tell me of its greatness for 10 minutes*

So I expected when I downloaded it some robust professional template. Complete with an instruction guide. All I got a PDF and two examples. Learning from hastily put together samples sucks.

Aries:
This unspoken, bolt-of-lightnight type of love is amazing. If only you could cast it outside of the Dungeons and Dragons world.

Taurus:
You will find true love when you discover the baby mouse that lives in your basement. There will be compassion in its eyes and comfort in its squeaks and you will call him Compassfort. Unfortunately, Compassfort is slowly dying in the sticky trap you laid out for him a week ago and you will have to drown him in gasoline to ease his passing. Ignore the feelings of guilt that accompany this, for it will be an act of love.

Gemini:
You will think you've found your soul-mate and you will sleep with him.

Cancer:
Halloween is over: throw that pumpkin away and let those kids get back to their parents.

Leo:
You will easily convince some girl you're her soul-mate.

Virgo:
It may be the beginning of November, but you will somehow find time this week to ruin Christmas.

Libra:
You think you're the luckiest person on the planet until you find out the Japanese have developed a five-leaf clover.

Scorpio:
You'll be happiest today if you stay busy. Like a bee, or a prisoner of war.

Sagittarius:
It will surprise you how much blood was able to fit inside your body.

Aquaricorn:
I hope you have stampede insurance!

Pisces:
For as long as you can remember you've been pissed that your life's turning out to be such a joke. And, to make matters worse, you'll realize its's one of those jokes without a punch line that just runs on and on until someone cuts it off.

Well, got another perfect score on my digital logic design test. I really need to talk with the professor and get him to give me some harder problems.

And no winner in the election yet though it looks like Bush is going to win. I wonder if Kerry is going to do the recount thing like Gore did or just call it quits. Either way they need to make up their mind, Bush is winning by over 130,000 votes, I don't think Kerry's got a chance.

But I think its good that the media didn't call states until they were sure. They left Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida unknown for a while until they were sure. Something they wouldn't have done last year. So I guess that's a good thing. I was watching election coverage last night and I just got so annoyed with it. The announcers on all 3 channels saying exactly the same thing over and over again. They kept referring to the same polls, and exit numbers, and analyst predictions, and I'm just like "shut up and wait for the results to come in! You'll know in an hour who won the state so don't sit there blabbing about you *might possibly* win, just be patient and you'll know for sure instead of wasting an hour of my time listening to who you think is going to win. I don't care what you predict, or expect. I care about what actually happens, the facts, the news!"

I hate it when these "analysts" come on tv and act like they have a flipping idea what's going on. And they give their "expert opinions" which I'm sure they'r paid a hefty sum to conjure up.

"Well Jim, it looks like the race is very close and we'll just have to wait for the final returns to make any kind of a call."

No shit sherlock.
Same goes for those "terrorism analysts" they have on the Today show and other sure news programs.

The new Bin Laden tape is out, let's go to our terrorism expert, Iwanna Jackoff. Iwana:
Thank you Bert. This new Bin Laden tape just released shows us that he is in fact alive and this might be a message to his listeners.

I could have told you that, and I don't have to wake up at 4 am to put on a suit and rush down to Rockafeller Center and pocket $1,000 to say it. And another thing, how'd we get out hands on this Bin Laden tape? Hmm? What about all the previous ones? I'll tell you. Each and every tape, video recording, audio file, and picture has come from Al Jezeera. That middle eastern TV studio that fronts as the "news" for the people. You know what CIA, NSA, FBI, if you want to catch Bin Laden why don't you track down the guy that gave the tape to the network!!! Someone's got to give it to them. I mean come on.

Do you have that girl in your class that is just so ditsy that you swear the only she got into this place was by screwing the entire admission staff? I have plenty, and they're all in my economics class. And they all sit in the front row. And they all are stupid. Every single there is always at least one, combing/styling hair, reading a newspaper, or text messaging. While class is going on! In the front row! And the teacher says nothing, probably because he just likes looking at them in the front row.

We were doing some problem and we had to compute 10/0.5 Which is 20. 5th grade max. *raises hand* "Umm... how do you divide by a non-whole number?" *SMACK* I sit behind this little ray of sunshine and wanted to stab her with my pen 20 times, just to get the point across. They're always asking for extra credit and all of them got below a 50 on the last midterm. How do I know what they got? You might ask. Because those blabbermouths made sure the whole freaking building knew what they got and why the "test was so unfair" and why "this class is just way too hard" and "like omgyg I failed." Serves you right.

And this guy in my digital logic design class, Michael. He's the genius I worked with at the help desk this summer. He's smart. He really is. But he doesn't go to class, ever. And then fails the tests and quizzes and complains to me how the class is too difficult. Well if you could drag your ass to class once in a while maybe you wouldn't be failing!

And that guy better be getting my papers ready for my new job. He said he'd have the paperwork in so I can start getting paid. But no. No paperwork. So I can't log any of my work so far as work. Can't get paid for it. Makes me not want to do anything more until he finishes it. Do you know anyone else who can learn PHP, ColdFusion, MySQL, and Fusebox in two weeks while carrying 16 credit hours? Cause if you do I'd love to see them try.

Bah, I just feel errrrr. It feels like at school I'm just going through the motions. Finishing the hw and going to class. Repeat. None of my teachers are motivating, save my digital logic design guy which I'm going to talk to. My circuits teacher, though funny and interesting, doesn't give me any reason to do anything in circuits. As he put it "there isn't a problem you're going to solve that hasn't already been solved before." Way to motivate me. Tell me that all my work is going to be replicating someone else's. Our math guy keeps drilling into me the fact that people that are good with numbers aren't good with anything else but them. Economics teacher, that you can get drunk every weekend, and go to sleep at 4 am getting back from a club every wednesday night and still make it as a University professor. Lot of motivation towards working hard there. And my discrete math guy is... well he's not doing anything.

If it wasn't for my own motivation and general fear of failure that keeps me doing my work. Like that line in Office Space "If I bust my ass and IniTech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime." Same concept applied to school. You complete the analogy.

I watched the movie Halloween today. That freaked me out. I keep waiting to see some stalker with a white face mask and knife lunge out at me. And that music.. plays encessently. Freaky. But alas is Halloween, and what's a good Halloween with a few scares, some tricks, and some treats. ``

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Star light,, Star bright,
The first star I see tonight,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight,

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
I have so many wishes to make,
But most of all is what I state,
So just one girl,
That I've been dreaming of,
I wish that I can have owe her enough,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the dream I dream tonight,

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
I want a girl who'll be mine,
And wants to say that I'm her guy,
Someone's sweet that's for sure,
I want to be the one she's looking for,
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the girl I wish tonight,

Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky,
Star light,, Star bright,
Granted the wish I wished tonight,
May I forever, smiling at her sight,
Be as happy as I am tonight.I love you
