We drink to die, we drink tonight.

The other night I went for a walk at about 4 or 5 in the morning. I walked to the nearest hill and looked at everything. No one was on the swingset. No one was playing baseball. No one was awake. On my way back to my house I passed a newspaper delivery man. He was working hard to deliver papers to all the houses before they woke up. He didn't mind me as much as I minded him.

No matter how the world is a well oiled place, oil is still messy. You just never really know it unless your a mechanic.

Let's get complicated

Sometimes life seems so easy and smooth. Sometimes all I want is to be consumed by friends.
They will keep me safe and sound with truth. They will be my nightlight and my favorite blanket.
When we're apart I start to worry. I want them to be as happy as they make me.
So I keep them close and keep them warm. Just to let them know someone cares.

We all want someone to care.
Someone to hold and just, be there.
We all want friends to love.
People to kiss our cheeks and hold our hands.

I rarely put doubt into the safety you bring. I really think that we can do this and get out alive.
We can't help it if our hearts sing. The sound in my chest is harmonizing with yours.
That is how I know we are safe and can safely cry. Every one else can make us feel so unwanted.
But if they could know how it feels to not have to try. They'd be jealous of our love.

They all want someone to care.
Someone to see, they must be here.
They all want friends to hide in.
People to compare and fight to hold our hands.

But at least I hope I'm not one of them.
And the look in your eyes tell me I'm not.
You and I are not part of that breed.
We are sensitive and in love with the world.

We both have someone to care.
Someone to hold and just, be there.
We both have each other to love.
People that just being near cures all.

This post does not have a clever title and is right to the point

I'm working on streaming video to mobile devices for my internship at Thomson Reuters. And I have been focusing on the iPhone while my intern-at-crime is taking a lot of the BlackBerry work. In my week here I've seen that Apple is not the nicest company to develop for as a third party. Here is a quick history lesson. The iPhone came out in June 2007, with no real ability for third parties to write applications. In response, people turned their phones into an open source platform on which that could develop apps. This platform was the open source SDK (software development kit), which had all the things you needed to make an app. In 2008, Apple released their SDK and the App store, so third parties could make apps and sell them. The problem is that Apple's SDK is missing or locked out 25% of the open source SDK, meaning that developers weren't getting access to all the available tools. The documentation for making apps is missing all this extra information, although it is still in the code. Any application that uses these codes is blocked from the app store. Now, Apple is releasing the iPhone OS 3.0 with a larger SDK, which they say has 1,000 new APIs (things you can use to make an application). I call BS and say that these 1,000 "new" APIs were always there and they are just making them public to seem like they are rewarding the developers. These APIs should have been available with the first SDK if not the release of the phone. Apple is controlling what and how people use their software and hardware and I don't think people know how constrained the system is. Without all the nonsense, I think the quality and creativeness of applications would soar. I'm not saying Apple should go open source or give full access to third parties, I just think they should trust them.

The Pre

So there's this thing right. Well, it's more of a device. But it's more than just a device, so let's go back to calling it a thing. Or a phone, you could definitely call it a phone, but it's so much more. Anyways, this thing is called the Pre and is made by Palm. It's brand new and I really want one. Whats cool is that because I haven't upgraded my phone is two years, that I get to upgrade and get a pretty big discount on my new phone. But I have to wait until July 1st to get the discount. But I have will power, so I can totally do it.

I took my lunch break and went to the Sprint store in Eagan and got to play around with their store model and look at one of the employee's, which was pretty sweet. So far it doesn't have many third party apps, about 20 today. So I'm hoping that by July there will be a lot more of them about. Also that any bugs will have been possibly fixed with firmware updates. There's been one already since release and so Palm seems to be on top of thier game. But look for me with a new sweet piece of tech in July.

Last words

So I'm listening to godspeed you black emperor and watching a crappy japanese ninja movie on mute and the last words of this guy that just got killed with a life size statue are "Please take care of...*dramatic pause*...my car payments."

This summer has been interesting so far, I've been at my house here for only about 3 or four days total. It's strange but I feel like this is less and less my home. My parents redid my brother and mine room and it just feels so different. I don't have anything of mine on shelves except for things from two or more years ago. All my current possesions are in bags or scattered on the floor.

In the movie, a guy climbing up a cliff just grappling hooked a dude's leg and is using it as rope secure. That would suck.

I start work at thompson on monday and I'm excited and what not, but I just kind of want to have an easy learning period and work load to start with. It will take me a bit to adjust to waking up early and all that jazz so I'll probably be pooped the first week.

Why are black suits and ties the red jumper of bad kung foo movies. If your wearing a wide belt or no shirt, your obviously not a henchman, but you also can't go around in public like that, so I guess it's a balance.

Sasquatch was amazing and probably the best way to start my summer possible. It was a great week of music, style, and friends. Totally going to try and make it next year.

Evil boss man threw millions of dollars worth of coke off the cliff and then stabbed his woman and jumped off the cliff...maybe I should be reading the subtitles.

I saw the new terminator movie today and I have to admit I am getting very happy with the amount of movies with really good special effects in them. Terminator 3 was bad because they didn't blend the fx into the movie smoothly enough and the plot was pretty forced. This one had a very forced plotline that tried a little too hard to follow the terminator universe. But it connected some things that answered questions and also opened up a lot of doors with a big ? on them. My main one, when and how does time travel get discovered? Do robots have the ability to make new scientific discoveries? If so, how long would it really take? Skynet is only really slowed down by its physical limitations.
If skynet sent arnold back in time first and the resistance sent kyle back to the same day but say 10 years later, do arnold and kyle start in the same time or has one sequences of events already gone by in which sarah is killed? So many questions that i demand be answered. But christian bale was a good john connor, I like him a lot.

Gong fu film is over and now it is a horror version of snow white, which means I should goto bed. I have a few tasks I need to do tomorrow. And I can't put them off no more I guess.

It's been awhile since we've talked...

Here are some sasquatch pictures.
