Holy shit. (Incoming Nostalgia)
Before I go ahead and post something I absolutely would like to share with the 2 people that read this is this.
I'm a nostalgia nut. Even more so a nut for Game music, because it brings back memories of better days and awesome fight scenes/epic battles/what have you. If there is a well thought out battle ensuing, where the competitors have meaningful dialogue or purpose, and a fantastic BGM, I honestly get goosebumps. This right here bested damn near everything.

It's all about the PIFTS
Norton security. It's certainly a name we've all heard of in the computer world. It's one that many people foolishly trust. Their past history of slow/lacking updates, rampant security holes, and horrible customer service have made many a customer unsubscribe to such piss-poor programming.
I, for one, never jumped on such a bandwagon full of fail.
Today, however, I witnessed what many ex-customers of Symantec saw coming for miles. This page sums the story up some. While this gives out a little play-by-play action to the whole situation.
TL;DR version: Symantec is hiding something and is using horrible cover-up stories to cover for their own asses.
I literally was there as it unfolded, and can personally attest to the content posted before, during, and after the boys at /b/ had their fun with it.
Truth be told, this whole mess would have never gotten the attention it has today if it wasn't for them. Their epic fail, actually turned out for a win!
Don't take my word for it, visit Symantecs' official forums and take a look at the tactics used to cover up and evade the questions at hand...

Okay...new journal time.
Of course, I've really got nothing to go on, so I'll just explain my recent happenings.
First off, I've discovered a wonderful piece of software for anyone who owns a DS. It's a slot-1 card (the very same cartridge that a company released game uses) that uses a MicroSD card (SDHC if you get one that supports them) to hold vast amounts of data and programs collectively called "Homebrew." These programs can range from simple IRC applications, to Multimedia Players, to full blown web browsers and Homebrew'd games that look and feel like a commercial game. Any DS owner with $20-$30 USD can easily get one of these Flash Cards from any number of sites. There is a darker side to this as well though (depending on how you view it). DS ROMS that have flooded the internet can be easily pirated and put on said Flash Card, allowing anyone with literally a few extra minutes to steal any game they desire.I neither support nor condone these actions. It's your DS, you do whatever the hell you want with it. But for any people interested, I'd highly recommend at least taking a look at the R4DS. Easy to use interface and uses minimal system power (unlike the M3DS Simply, and Real).
Secondly, I finally listed my first item ever on eBay. Woohoo, go me! (/sarcasm) Guess I feel like I've accomplished something. I guess I'll find out when/if it sells or not. Wish me luck.
Third, ever since the crap that happened with 343winks (and amazingly he's still up to his antics...go google 343winks if you don't believe me) I've been more active on RvB than I have in a year. Although I'm still not active as much as I'd like, I've invested myself in at least one thread arguing over dimensions and whatnot. It's kept me entertained and my brain working, so at least that's good.
Finally kicked the habit of 4chan a while back, not really a big deal, but just thought to mention it.
Other than that, it's been smooth sailing. UPS is still a pain in the ass, but still is my favorite job. Been keeping a steady weight. And now I've run out of things to discuss.
Like I said, just posting a journal for the sake of posting. Nothing really special or new.
EDIT: Well, seeing as I'm 4chans bitch, I've begun to frequent it yet again. I swear it's like crack.

Red vs. Blue
It's been reborn for me. I remember the days when the RvB forum wasn't full of fucking retards. I remember when the Bar didn't suck so much. I remember the first version of the site, although I never bothered to participate in it until a week before it turned.
Since then, it's been going down the shitter at an exponential rate. This site turned into flame wars, bitching, and general retardedness.
That is until a few weeks ago. The last journal I wrote completely gives a feel for it. Now, the CIS, whom I adore so very much for making RvB fun again, have dug up our own Red vs. Blue pedophile! 343winks. Granted his account no longer exists, but this chronicles the entire epic story.
Go. Now.
And be merry.

My beautiful Cat Patch
On Saturday, April 19th 2008, a very dear member of our family, one who will be loved, cherished, and missed terribly, has passed away. Born on June 1st 1989, she entered my life before I was even aware she existed. There are countless pictures (that are lost at the moment) of me as an infant, with Patch cradling my head as I lay in my crib and slept. For as long as I can remember, I've always had a good memory of her. Like this one; whenever my mother went out and bought McDonalds for dinner, she'd always get me the chicken nuggets because they were my favorite. But I had a contender for the chicken nuggets sitting right beside me at the dinner table. There sat my pure white, fat, happy persian cat...her tail swishing left and right and her eyes wide at the scent of the delicious chicken nuggets that was right before Patch and I. She would wait for an opportune moment, or make one herself, to snatch a nugget and run away to eat it. One time I remember that she knocked over some newspaper to make a distraction. So while I was cleaning up the papers off the floor, she had pawed one, and ran behind the TV to go and eat it...today, April 20th, 2008, we will be burying her near our garden with McDonalds Chicken Nuggets as a memorial.
Another fond memory of Patch is when my brother was punished in my room, for god only knows what. He wanted some company to relieve his boredom, so he let Patch inside. A few minutes later, I hear my name being called by him to come and see Patch. So I walk up the stairs and go to see what was up. Little did I know that Wayne (my brother) had put Patch in a hamper, which she was scared of. Anyway, I'm walking towards Waynes room, and all of a sudden, a fat white blur comes bursting out of his room, and right towards me. It hit my right leg, knocked me down, and sped off down the stairs. Patch had come full speed out of his room and right at me. Mind you Patch was 20 pounds at the time...how a cat that fat goes so fast, I don't think I'l ever know...and I was 110+ pounds. Wayne looks out of the room, sees me knocked down on my ass, and Patch tearing down the stairs. Me and Wayne broke out in so much laughter, we couldn't stop giggling and joking about it for the next hour.
But one of my greatest memories about my beloved Patch, is whenever I would be feeling sad, or lonely. For example, when my Grandma died, I was devastated. I would cry on and off for weeks after her death...but whenever I was home, there she'd be. Patch would ALWAYS come and find me whenever I felt sad, or needed comfort. Sometimes, she'd just come up, look at me in the eyes, and mew...then hop up in my lap and purr and knead. She always had a knack for cheering me up...I consider her more of a family member, best friend...and of a human than a "pet". She had the personality, and the compassion of a human, without all the evil and suffering humans can harbor. She never bit, scratched, or hurt us in any way intentionally. Of course she'd always play bite us, but that was all in good fun.
So this journal goes out in memoriam to my Sister, my friend, my confidant...my dearly beloved, and dearly missed cat, sister, and best friend; Patch Russell.
May you rest in peace and find all the chicken nuggets that you could ever want, wherever you are.
I uploaded all the videos I have of her to YouTube Click here to watch them if you like.

Roms...
They make my life so damn nostalgic! I can't remember how many roms of old ass games I've played that I have...almost every single classic (starfox, zelda, and of course mario). I can't believe how simple yet addicting these games were, and how much fun ive had with them. VIVA LA ROMS!
