test

Went to see it with Kaz for his B'day present.
It's awesome

Hopefully Kaz can see that Peter Jackson is amazing at movie s and will watch Lord Of The Rings, which he is opposed to for no good reason.

Friendship is co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more people. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem, and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behaviour, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them.

Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:

* the tendency to desire what is best for the other,
* sympathy and empathy,
* honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart,
* mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.

So, i look at this and try to decide if my friends actually have a friendship with me. For the most part the answer is no...most of them do not. They are friends, but i don't have a friendship with them. Words like; "mutual", "loyalty", "co-operative", and others seem to denote friendship is a 2 way street. Friends that take this from me, but don't return it do not fit the criteria of 'Friendship'. Most of you care for me when i come to you FOR you but you don't come to me FOR me. Many of you that do come to me, do so FOR them. Take an interest in me because you want to, not because you want me to reinforce you or dont call me friend; call me acquaintance instead because that's all you are.

i dont know...did work on the house.
got out of the house today and worked out at the Y with my workout partner for the first time in a while; listened to him talk about..um...him.
went out to eat
i guess thats good

finally heard from Foxxy
i guess thats good

did some maint. work on my truck

helped Fox pack a few things for his campout with his new guy

that's it

A fisher man i am not.

I caught a few here and there.

I sun burned, i generally do so the first time parts of me that have not seen the sun in a bit get to do so. From now on, that area will tan...until winter.

i met a kitty cat, poor thing. She was pretty wild but i have a way with felines. I taught her some manners when asking for food and she tamed up a bit. When i petted her, i could see a light go off in her little head. Either she remembered getting pets before she was dropped of in the wilderness, or these were the first she had ever had and they felt good.

The stars were pretty, the bugs were bad.

...enlightenment did not find me...

be back when i run out of food or beer

its back up and running, not the best but it's what is could afford and it's functional

Hal3 is made from the disks of Hal2 and the mobo/cpu/memory from the HTPC

I used Ubuntu Server this time...Much easier than CentOS to configure.

installed Samba and did not have to muck as much with the smb.confg file
installed all the hardware monitoring stuff without incident.
NX Nomachine remote administration works without glitches like with CentOS.
all i had to do was plug in the printer...
raids all work and are easy to check their status

Yay!

ok..so the job interview was a waste of my time.
(I did have fun seeing the guys and so did Kaz)

I came home to cat puke running down my HDTV.
(I managed to fix it almost perfectly)

The motherboard i had for the CPU i ordered to fix HAL is fried
(i did get my severance pay)

...
..
.
*Sigh*

I'm sorry Dave, i can't do that...

Hal2 is dying...one half of his RAID controller has gone non-responsive.

I have a motherboard that will work fine as it's replacement, but it takes a different processor. One i don't have...

my bed always has fur on it...i don't know why...

...and yes, that's me in the middle

AC == Fun

Qat and Ty went with, along with Kazuki and his online friend from ohio.

We had a good time, lots of walking.
This being my first FurCon, i did well. Things will be different next time but all in all it was a wonderful time.

Now i have to figure out how to pay for it -_-

...I want a fur suit
(^_^)
There was like a million $ of art i wanted, and none of it was 'art'

I met Foxxy for the first time; he will forever be a wonderful furiend

Could have done without the 12 hours of driving one way, but meh.

Now it's time to finish putting things away, do paperwork and shit and get ready for my interview on the 14th in the area where Qat lives...woot! cross your talons
