Alright, after some initial problems getting my cable modem installed, it's finally up to speed. They guys that installed it, said the reason it was so slow was because I only had 40 megs of ram, so I went out and bought a 64mb DIMM that fits my motherboard only to find out it won't work. So anyway, I finally decided I was just going to have to get a new motherboard and processor, but in a last ditch effort, I tried some little program I got from hotfiles.com that is supposed to boost modem performance, so I said "what the hell, it couldn't hurt." That bastard is FLYING now. Better than T1, sometimes better than T2. I'm still gonna hang on to that RAM though, so that when I do get a new motherboard, I'll already have RAM to go in it. Anyway, I'm at work right now, bored out of my mind. It's just me and this PC...and the internet for the next six hours....hmm sort of like being at home actually, only this connection is slower...ohh, and I'm getting paid. I love rubbing that shit in. Makes me feel sooo good. I'm bad aren't I. Good thing I don't give a shit. L8r on.

No, I didn't forget I had a homepage. I just didn't have anything really good to talk about... but now I've got plenty to talk about so I'll just let it rip. I've been working at the hospital where I do NOTHING all day, it gives me time to listen to music, chat on the internet, just whatever I want to do. HA! You all wish you had a job like that. Anyway, I got a call today from my cable company telling me I've been selected as a cable modem beta tester! WHoo-HOO! It will be installed this Monday, June 19th. I get the $150 installation FREE, the rest of June FREE, I pay for July, then I get august FREE! So poo on the rest of you that have to pay for all that crap. It's only going to be $39.95 a month too...that's less than Zebra.net and my phone line so that's a big plus also. Also, I figure I should mention Susan, since I haven't in so long. It was my theory that if I didn't see her, I would stop thinking about her, but that hasn't been the case. I still think about her, but can't bring myself to call her because her boyfriends back in town for good. They'll both be going to South this coming year... so I might see her around campus... but that will just make things worse. However, I will, hopefully, meet a girl from school that will make me forget how I feel about Susan. I need a real relationship like a crack head needs a hit. Okay, I'll admit it, that's a little pathetic, but at least everything else in my life is going good. How many of you can say that? Alrighty then...
