The Dawning of the Rest, Of Our Lives! Again!! =D

Okay! It's officially been 19 Years!

Damn, it seems like yesterday when I wrote a very similar blog post, when I turned 18 ... it's been an year already. Wow. Time does fly when you're having fun.

I haven't really been giving this one any thought. I've turned 19 ... and I haven't really thought about it. In fact, I only found out when the 28th started. Oh me gosh, I'm turning 19 at 12 tonight!!

Hmm.. I'd like to thank, the academy. My parents, God All Mighty, my siblings, and Allll of my friends. All of them. YOU PEOPLE. Thank you once again for making another year so damn spectacular it could probably win an oscar for Best Drama ... lol, I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing. It was wonderful, really. YOU ROCK. Yes, you, sitting behind the keyboard with that random look on your face. You are f****ng Awesome, duuuude. Yay you!

So, here are some other things I'm thankful for:
1. The N82 My Dad bought me =D
2. How my friends wished me a happy birthday (and the whole surprise fiesco ... wow, this really was a shocking moment. No, seriously. I've never been so shocked in my life, and I believe everyone that witnessed it were to. But I can't tell you why ... lol)
3. Everyone that sms-ed :) Thank youu! Specially Sheeds, You're the best! You're sms made me laugh out loud :p but I'm sure you knew it would.

I'm thankful for this Laptop I'm using right now ... How much fun is this, I can write this blog post while lying down on the couch in front of the AC. Yay this laptop.

I'm thankful for my ps3 sitting right there, running GTA IV right now. That game is the bomb. The ps3 is the bomb.

I'm thankful for that N82 sitting on my desktop. That cell phone makes digital cameras want to go kill themselves.

And I'm thankful for everyone that's by my side Right Now.

Amiina! I loove you! *mmuah* You mean the world to me, and I thought you should know on this special blog post right here :)

My Friends and Family! Pijohn, Lala, Finky, Mahd, Mattarwa, Faisal, Geeboo ... people far away right now, Sheeds!! and Nobii!! and my Family; My parents, My Siblings; Monaki, Kumayo and Bumber. You people rock!! Oh, and God rocks to an Epic proportion. God goes first on the list.

And any names I haven't taken, don't think this isn't meant for you. If you're here reading this; THANK YOU, All this is for you too.

Wow ... :D Thanks for being so YOU, everyone. My life is AWESOME and you're part of it, which makes the 75% of it's awesomeness. The rest is all me though =D (gotta love yourself)

Oh, and uh, you know the drill. I'll take this time right here to wish a special person that shares their birthday with me. =) You know who you are, I hope you're as happy as I am and getting everything you've ever wanted. Happy Birthday.

Aah, and of course. Everyone can be a pain in the neck sometimes. If I've ever been, I'm sorry
=( No one's sure of how much longer we have to live, so if you're mad at me, please stop. I'm sorry you bums!

Aah, what else .... I'm glad I'm alive :) I'm thankful for being Alive. And I'm thankful for having YOU right besides me to share my life with. Thank You. I hope your day goes as great as mine. :)

Ooh, Ooh, this is my post, I can thank Greenday! For making such a f'n awesome song. HOLIDAY! Thank you, you crazy haired, tie wearing, music making, weirdos!!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
This is the Dawning of the Rest, of our Liiiives!

An Immortality by Ezra Pound

An Immortality


Sing we for love and idleness,

Naught else is worth the having.


Though I have been in many a land,

There is naught else in living.


And I would rather have my sweet,

Though rose-leaves die of grieving,


Than do high deeds in Hungary

To pass all men's believing.


Ezra Pound

... what music is to the masses.

Quizzes are to interaction ...

I'm going to try something new here. Since I like asking questions, I'll give you a set of questions, and you have to answer each by writing in the comments. Then, in a day or two I'll put up everyone's answers (and including mine too) to decide on what everyone agrees to, or just how people generally think.

And to start things off, I'm going to pick Music as my first subject.

* The kind of music you think everyone should listen to.
* The kind of music you think should never be produced.
* The kind of music you think really revolutionized the way people look at things.
* The kind of music you think is really taking the world down with it.
* What's the best guitar solo you've ever heard? If you've ever heard one, that is.
* What is it that you used to listen to back in the days, and regret listening to, now?
* Okay, everyone has that particular thing they listen to but are ashamed to tell anyone. Maybe it just doesn't go with their ''image'' or maybe they just don't want people to know. What's yours?
* Do you have ideas, concerning music that you would like to share? Just a yes or no is fine.

That's it. Answers go in the comments. And then you get to see them and everyone else's (who took the quiz) here, in a few days.

Mine for the taking.

I don't mean to brag, but, I was thinking (out of the blue) about how I've gotten everything I have wanted, to this date. I mean everything. I can't think of a single time when I haven't been given what I've asked for. Or when I haven't achieved what I set out to achieve.

The feeling you get when you think of that is, satisfying. If I can get everything I've worked for till now, I can get everything I work for in the future. Optimism. (Luck sold separately)

I tried installing this Linux distribution a few days ago, called Ubuntu. And I did it using the easiest method (which the think tanks at the Ubuntu offices just thought up) called Wubi. A Windows Ubuntu Installer. Wubi. Touche'.

But alas, nothing is that easy. The first time around when I partitioned my hard disks to install Gutsy Gibbons (yes, that is what Ubuntu 7.04 is called... ubuntu, gutsy gibbons, I know right) the bootloader (called Grub ... surprised? really?) failed to recognize the hard disk it had to load Ubuntu from, all because of my two SATA hard disks that I connected a little time ago. Heh.

So I quickly formatted that partition, removed Ubuntu from the OS Choice Menu by fixing Window's MBR and then when Hardy Heron (which is Ubuntu 8.10) came out, it came packaged with Wubi. But that is flawed too. One faulty shutdown (by pressing in the power button) or faulty restart (with the restart button) and BAM. Your hard disks fail to mount. And that too, the one where Ubuntu is installed. So, no boot. Only this command line terminal (which is the built-in Debian shell) called Ash. Ash ... that one isn't that bad, actually ... weird.

So anyway. Now I await an answer from the Ubuntu Forums. And no one has any, really. Except the routine restart your computer and safely shut it down OR run Chkdsk /r on the cmd prompt. But that didn't work for me, now, did it. Heh.

Other than that, I've been keeping myself busy by finally coming to an end on my procrastination run, and finally filling out the forms to the Community College in Philly. Yay me.

Now, to complete this post, a random thought:

How much woodchuck the woodchuck chucks, is completely dependent on who the woodchuck is and what tree the wood is from ... How senseless is that question, then?
