So if you’ve been reading my posts and keeping tabs on the plans, you know that I’m leaving in 5 weeks. My original plan was to have my parents drive me to LAX the day of my flight, but after speaking to them, they made a good point that I overlooked – it’s a work night. Doh! After a day of thinking about it, pops called me up and said that they couldn’t drive me down because it was a late flight (9:30pm) and by the time they got home, it would be around Midnight. I wasn’t down with them doing that and obviously, from the phone call, either were they. My dad said it wasn’t a problem, they would get me a flight from San Luis Obispo (SLO) to LAX. I was semi-cool with that because:

1. They weren’t driving 6+ hours to and from
2. My travel time to LAX was now 1 hour

So my parents are avid Coffee drinkers. I’m sure, like a lot of other ‘adults’, by the time they are awake and out of the shower, they come out to the kitchen and pour themselves a morning coffee. They have a cup or two and then have some more as they get to work and go on about their daily activities.

Me on the other hand, I, well, I drink what I call the “modern day coffee”. I like to pickup my morning Rockstar as I head to work. I sto pat the local 7-11 which is two minutes from my apartment. I walk in and grab the 32oz can, go the counter and $3.97 later I’m drinking away. Not sure when I first had my first one, but damn have I grown to love the taste. This must be how my parents or co-workers feel when they get that first cup of joe in the morning.

But I’ll be damned if it’s come to the point that I actually need to have one now. (continue reading…)

to Pwn is a leetspeak slang term, derived from the verb “own”^, as meaning to appropriate or to conquer to gain ownership. The term implies domination or humiliation of a rival used primarily in the Internet gaming culture to taunt an opponent who has just been soundly defeated (e.g. “You just got pwned!”).

Nice Captcha

Short but sweet post here. I was checking some threads on the web forum I frequent, and one of the users there posted a thread in our General Forum where he saw an extremly long CAPTCHA request that was displayed when he wanted to add a friend. Granted, the word that Facebook was using inside the Captcha was a very long one I would have been quick to hit the refresh key to get a new one. (continue reading…)
