goodness, it’s been a little

goodness, it’s been a little while since I’ve posted. and a LOT has happened.

but here’s why I haven’t posted much recently. first off, our DSL is crap. I’m not sure if it’s the modem, or the switch, or what… but our connections have been really spotty. =( So if you don’t see me online, it’s not cuz I’m blocking you or anything… I’m just not there.

secondly, my life’s been consumed by alpha phi omega. I finally activated saturday morning (go Iota Class~!). We had our banquet that night at the LAX Marriot. Preparations for the banquet had taken up oh.. about the past three weeks? AAAAAAAH!!!

so.. I’m really sorry!! I’ll put up something interesting soon, I hope!

a bit of computer advice

a bit of computer advice from the former Resident Computing Intern:
is your computer running something you don’t know it is?

If you’ve encountered a program called “comet cursor,” then it’s likely it is. cc recently installed itself when I visited a friend’s webpage. even more annoyingly, it also installed “webHancer,” a small spyware program.

if you want to know how to remove it, go here:

song of the hour: Dave

song of the hour: Dave Matthews Band – #41
.. a little ditty off the Crash CD, #41 had slipped my mind until early tuesday morning, when my friend convinced me to add a couple more dmb songs to my collection. I’ve never been a big fan of DMB.. sure I appreciated their talents, but Crash never really did it for me.. nor did many of their other hits, except for Stay and Ants Marching. But this song! it’s beautiful. =)

…So I vowed to keep

…So I vowed to keep myself alive, but only if I would never use me again for just me. Each one of us is born of two, and we really belong to each other. I vowed to do my own thinking instead of trying to accommodate everyone else’s opinion, credo’s and theories. I vowed to apply my inventory of experiences to the solving of problems that affect everyone aboard planet Earth.

“I think we too often make choices based on the safety of cynicism, and what we’re lead to is a life not fully lived. Cynicism is fear, and it’s worse than fear – it’s active disengagement.”
