The army
Driving home down main street today I saw this sign for the marines or the army. I had to get out and take a picture because I thought it was so totally stupid. I can't believe this is their slogan. I also can't believe that the poor people in the black neighborhood where it is located could fall for this ad. It says, "Pain is weakness leaving the body." I thinks its really ridiculous to have an ad like that. That statment is obviously not true. Especially in the context of the neighborhood, and the two hospitals, one being roswell park, that are only 5 minutes away.

Underneieth the sign was all this trash. I wonder why the army doesn't clean it up because it makes the ad look even more trashy.

While on Main Street I thought about how moving to Linwood changed my life so much. I might as well have moved out to the country as I never go to elmwood anymore and have no idea what is happening 2 blocks down. Is the coop built yet?

Circuit City RAM Drama
So the idiot at Circuit City sold me the wrong ram. I specifically asked if it was the appropriate ram for the laptop I was picking up at their store. How totally inconvenient is it to get home and have it be the wrong type.

Machine Class
Today I attended my first ever machining class. We learned to weld, cut, rivet and bend metal. (e:matthew) , I think you would love it. You could easily build the biggest fish tank shelf in the world.

Places to buy metal: The metal supermarket and Alp steel

Okay time to go play with the vaio before class.
