Song stuck in Matt’s head.

Song stuck in Matt’s head. Arg. At least it’s a good tune.

Jimmy Eat World – The Middle

hey
don’t write yourself off yet
it’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on
just try your best
try everything you can
and don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away

hey you know they’re all the same
you know you’re doing better on your own so don’t buy in
live right now
just be yourself
it doesn’t matter if that’s good enough for someone else

(chorus)
it just takes some time
little girl, you’re in the middle of the ride
everything everything will be just fine
everything everything will be all right

do your best
do everything you can
don’t you worry what their bitter hearts are going to say

What will be at my house next week:

A bitching rig with…
Antec SX1240 Full Tower Case with 400w Smart Power
Athlon XP 2000+
Asus A7N266-E nForce Mobo
Thermaltake A1135 Dragon Orb CPU cooler
Western Gigital WD1200JB 100GB HD
Pioneer 16x Slot Load DVD drive
Sony Floppy drive
Sound Blaster Audigy XGamer sound card
Plextor Plexwriter 24x10x40x CDRW
Gainward GeForce 4 Ultra 700XP – GF4 Ti 4400 128MB
768MB Kingston PC2100 DDR memory

throw in a MS optical mouse, case fan and network card and we’re in buisness. I chose the option to have them verify it with my bank again, simply because I don’t give out my SS# to anyone. I hope this works out a little bit better than the other place. It should. Wheee! Now it’s time to take pictures. Woot. Computers and photography ROXORZ!

Kerouac man. Dig it. I found Kerouac reading his own work, copies of ‘On The Road’ and “Darma Bums.’ My hero, reading in his own inflections. Fantastic.

Stuffage. Can’t order computer yet, maybe tomorrow. Took a test in hostory class today. Did well. Maybe. Didn’t finish my roll of film. Definatly tomorrow. Have no new games to play. Bored. Cleaned room. Reading Kerouac. Happy. Going to eat some chicken fingers. Even happier. Posting disjointed phrases. Sorry. Nothing wrong. Everything good. Just bored. Later.

Well. I got confirmation of my order being cancelled, that’s good. Now I wait a day or two for my account balance to fix itself and I can order the parts from a real retailer. Woot.

Your shopping buddy,
Googleguy,

What a load of poop. At least they were nice about it. Some of the stories I’ve seen have their customer service people being real assholes. The lady I talked to was nice, all be it uninformed. But at least it got straitened out.

So, the computer gets pushed back by a few days, no biggie. In the end I get a cheaper deal anyways. Plus faster shipping which is always nice. So, now I can stop talking about it for the time being and concentrate on more importatant things. Like photography. Which I’m doing at the moment. This upcoming assignment will be a little more on the abstract side but the professor seems to like my ideas, so why not go with it. Lot of motion blurs, close-up abstracts, distortions (think “water ripples”) and odd use of light. For example, have you ever noticed that little bit of light the creeps under your door at night, making the door look ominous… well, why not take a picture of that plane of light, it looks cool enough. That’s the kind of stuff I’d like to do this time. Mostly because I can’t think of anything better. This, in artist terms, would be “art for arts sake.” Ok, back to work. Later.
