My Inner Geek Is Tingling…
1So, I just bought a new Motherboard, Graphics Card, and Power Supply…and I feel like a geek because I’m all giddy about getting it in the mail lol…
heres a roundup what I got 
- Motherboard: ZOTAC AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard $69.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
- Graphics Card: XFX GeForce 9400 GT 1GB 128-bit $59.99
- Power supply: COOLMAX 550W ATX12V Power Supply $29.99 after $20.00 Mail-In Rebate
click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy PSU” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on PC eq haha…this was a very buget based purchase…
- so yeah first off the motherboard, I got it because it’s a AMD (woo) compatible with Athlon 64 X2(dual core) Processors….also it has 6 SATA connections….cause yeah…i need at least 3…4 or more preferred…and it was pretty freakin cheap for a decent spec’s on a mobo….
- Next the Graphics Card….I know…I know…some say for $10-30 more I could have got the ATI HD3650 (512 not 1gb but still)…but…I didn’t need to spend $10-30 more…that and I just trust Nvidia over ATI anyday…and I know that’s odd considering a prefer AMD over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it!
and It’ll work fine for what I need it…Photoshop, Flash, and Casual Gaming…might be able to run freakin Crysis but I don’t want to anyway lol…
- last is the Power Supply….yes I know it looks sucky and not super high wattage…but…I needed one with 3 or more SATA’s once again…cause yeah dell is gay and made everything the Harddrive and Dvd Drive need a SATA power connector instead of a standard MOLEX one…yeah…I know…freaking gay right? anyway…yeah this one has 4…so I can even add a 3rd Hard Drive Later on if needed
so woo…
and yeah…I found and purchased all of this spur of the moment at like 2am lol total price after shipping for all was $212.86 (before $40 in rebates) after I send the rebate stuff it’ll be $172.86 total for all
anyway, Ill prob blog again tonight….cause yeah my day has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m Happy
Church, Computers, Push, and Algebra 2…
1oops, I forgot to blog the last few days didn’t I? 
haha…
Well…hmm Sunday morning was church…that was good and I like always had fun playing the Drums
Then after that I went over to my oldest brother Brandon’s house to work on building his new computer…and that was a nightmare…ehh…his motherboard was old and was a freakin’ IDE board…when most now are SATA or even now E-SATA apparently…and we didn’t know that till we opened it up…we were going to move it to a new case, 2gb of RAM, add a DVD burner, and a 320gb HDD…yeah, none of them worked…case was too small (that freakin motherboard was way bigger then it should be), and the HDD and DVD burner was SATA 
even the RAM which we made sure online would work fine with it…didn’t work …want to know why in 4 letters?….DELL…This just adds to the list why I hate computers from major companies…especially Dell…they make it so proprietary you cant upgrade crap…its stupid…they want you to have to buy a new one from them, not just keep a older one updated I guess
then yeah, went home around 5:40pm and left shortly after for church…Me and by other bro Josh went to my girlfriend Hattie’s church…first time for josh…3rd for me…on Sunday night anywho…and that was good…and Josh seemed to like it there…and I got to see the love of my life *muah*
then after church Me and Josh went and watched Push with his friends from another church (its kinda funny Hattie goes to First Assembly of God in Denton…Josh’s friends go to First Assembly of God in Krum haha)…
anyway, that was a awesome movie despite hearing it was lame…to the people who called it lame….you…my friends…are lame hah. It was awesome, Ill say it did have a few cheesy parts…but the fights and just story made up for those parts by far…definitely worth watching again and buying on DVD when its out I’d say for sure
eh, then after we got out of that (it was around 12:10am) we went home and crashed…
haha, oh, and yeah…I have Algebra class every Monday morning, but yeah, dad decided he apparently didn’t wanna go…so yeah…I missed class cause of his not wanting to
and after that stupidity I’ve been up to a whole lot of nothing except texting my friends oh, and Me and Josh might go bowling later (woo)…
so yeah, that concludes this weekend and weekday I guess…hah…
Cleaning Cubicles Sucks…
0So, today was quite boring…I woke up read my daily letter from Hattie (none-ya) and did school and texted people like Alyssa, Josh, and Joseph…and that was it until about 6pm anyway…
Then, the fun really began *cough* sarcasm *cough*…I had to leave about 6:30PM to help mom and dad clean offices apparently over this week they have picked up a side-job of cleaning a whole office alone 2 days a week….and apparently its too much for just them so i got recruited….yeah fun right?
and wow….wasn’t too bad till we hit the cubicles…I felt like I walked into a strip of the comic Dilbert…seriously…wow…then about 8 we finished up and left.
after we got home at 8:30′ish I called Hattie since she is no longer grounded from the phone (yay!) and talked to her till she had to get off at 9PM but I’m still happy I got to talk to her *muah* love you baby…
then I continued to text everyone till it was down to just alyssa (yay having sleepless friends to join in my sleeplessness ) and I got on my Photoshop and made Hattie’s Valentines Card…came out nice i think. you?
of coarse it’s pretty simple….but i was trying to be minimal considering my printer is low on color and b&w ink haha. and for those that dont know…you always stick the front on the right and the back on the left….otherwise your card will open backwards lol. I learned this many-a-year ago…
and yeah, pretty much after that Ive been doing nothing…so Ill quit blogging my bland life hah.
Driving Lesson, Flammable, and bleh
2So, today started off for me at 12pm hah. And it started off with me waking up to eat a burger and fries from the king of grease, yes, McDonald’s…So I did that, and then did my school (well most ) then I was about to get on and work on a site (and possibly my first wordpress theme ) when dad said come outside.
So I did, and yeah, he made me drive around the block and pull into a driveway and back, then back the other side of the street and back to our house, fun fun…I did ok he said, but I know i kept hitting the accelerator too much lol. I’m workin’ on it! haha (in case you don’t know, I currently only have a permit so I’m in the process of learning how to drive before i get my real license in April (woo woo).
Then yeah, we went to the library while he got the cars oil changed across the street. and I found a book of facts, and a CSS + XHTML book i got, oh, and they had the very first Pink Panther movie…one of the old good ones I talked about…
Then we headed home after the car was finished and headed to Wal-Mart to get groceries….exciting day so far no? and yeah got all that stuff and I got part of Hattie’s Valentines gift I’m making her a card I’m gonna print (one of the benefits of being a Graphics Designer lol)
And then we headed by Circuit City since their going outta business i wanted to check their prices on some stuff…and yeah, even with the discounts its still high hah…so i left there and we went to the Dollar Tree where mom found a few things, and I had a strange urge to buy silly string? So I did…Blue at that
Then yeah, headed home unloaded groceries then headed back to Denton to go to church, where i had fin with friends despite Hattie not getting to come 
i did get to talk to her for about 10min though, but that was to tell me she wasn’t coming 
but, that makes it a week without seeing her for sure now I miss you so much baby! *muah*.
But I still had some fun with friends, heard some good music and a awesome message from Chris like always *wink* 
Oh, and on the way home dad randomly pulled over and said “get out” and i was confused…yeah, he made me drive from there to home haha.
And that concludes my day, well besides texting Aaryn, Callie, Banana, and Lyssa…they keep me alive and going texting me
On Tuesdays boredom ensues…
0Well, I’m able to at least post here and there right now thankfully, so lets talk…alright first off i miss Hattie like no other…I haven’t seen my love since last Friday and talked to her since last Saturday so I miss you baby *muah*
next off, anyone seen Taken (or Wiki here)? AHH! Love it! lol…He gets dad of the year award from me haha…its basically about a ex-CIA operative who’s daughter is kidnapped….poor kidnappers…hah…Many a mans death is ensured with this…I’m not gonna ruin it for those that haven’t seen it, by my fav parts have to be when he electrocuting someone in a chair, and the last person he kills (i wont say who or why cause it would give away a part of the movie)…Go watch it now!
oh, also this last week we went and watched The Pink Panther 2 (or Wiki here), It was good, and really funny at parts, but no one can top Peter Sellers in the Original Pink Panther Movies, He was the King of French Mimicking Comedy haha.
oh, and yeah, so apparently the church site needs changed so I’m working on a brand new one that My Dad (who’s the Pastor) and Joseph Weaver, and bluh. So far everything they want is either crappy or tacky…meh…why did i ever tell my Dad I can build sites
but hey, Fringe (Wiki) is on and I’m missing it! so goodbye bloggers
