U2 WAS AMAZING! :] Oh, And The Rest of My Week.

3

So, I haven’t in awhile…sorry :O

Well, so…

Saturday: Did some last minute packing for Oklahoma trip…ate, talked on the phone some…then around 5pm we headed out…many songs and silliness-ness later…we arrived in Ada, OK where my sister Amber lives at about 7:30pm’ish?
We unpacked the musical gear from the truck…then headed to Blue Moon Cafe…which, is where this was taken of Jessie :D
Then we headed to the to practice…Josh, Jessie, Amber, Michael (her husband), and I played for my sister’s on sunday morning ;]
After about 2hrs we were done learning about 6 songs…most of which were new to Amber and Michael…and 1 was new to us all except Josh, who wrote it…and writes most of what we play…we being The Band aka. Josh, Jessie, Chris(who couldn’t come) and I…
And jeez…my hands we’re literally about to bleed and we’re blistered…and ripped in 3 places…because they have their drums in a box thing…so you have to beat the heck out of them to get dynamics :/
After that we headed to Michael’s dad ’s house, and unpacked…that is where we slept :D
And I talked to my Madison till about 4:30am that night…long story…..and to you Madison…thank you, and I believe and accept it now…hopefully over time I’ll learn to trust in it more and make use to it like you have my love….

Sunday: Woke up about 9am…got ready, and headed to Life Community Church to play :]
After church, we headed to Rib Crib (delllicious :]), and this is where I took a pic of my hands seen here…this picture doesnt do them justice to how bad it was sadly :/
after that we went back to Pastor Mickey’s house and changed…then around 4pm we headed over to Amber’s house…then at around 4:30pm we headed out to Norman, OK….To see U2 :D :D :D
got there, got inside, found our seats…and at around 7pm Black Eyed Peas started…They were good…but dude with the mo-hawk cannot sing worth a crap live…but My Humps, Boom Boom Pow, I Gotta Feeling, and Big Girls Don’t Cry was still awesome live though :] Will-i-am and Fergie are still awesome sounding live :]
Then at around 8:45pm U2 started :] EEE!:D…..and LORD …I had a Concertgasm :D Like seriously…it’s gonna be hard to enjoy any concert now…I mean think about it…I’ve seen the best one in every way…so now everything else will fall short in all but prob one or two areas hah. Vids here. Pics here or here
Then after the amazing show (we got out at about 12:20am) we drove home…got home around 2am because of the crazy traffic…and headed to bed.

Monday: didn’t wake up till around 1pm …then we woke up, went to Amber’s house for a bit….went and ate at Braum’s…then went back to the church loaded up our gear, then went to Amber’s house again…and chilled there till around 3:20pm when we headed out…
Got home at around 5:20pm…then I talked on the phone till around 1am. and went to bed.

Tuesday: What did I do tuesday? not alot haha…Talked on the phone, worked on random Gfx, uploaded videos and pictures…and oh, stayed up till 5am fixing the church’s pc…I fixed it at around 10pm…it was a bad PSU…and I happened to have a spare one from eariler…and fixed it…then I got anything off of it we could use (Dad bought it from another church that was shutting down, and selling off their stuff for $100)…
Then reformatted it, and installed a fresh new install of Windows XP – Vortex 3G RED Edition, then loaded it with software we need like MediaShout, WinDVD, K-Lite Codec Pack…etc and other software you need really like Auslogics BoostSpeed, CCleaner, Filezilla…etc :D
After doing all that, upgrades, fixing random stuff like missing audio and ethernet drivers, and cleaning off un-needed hardware…it was around 5am :|

Wednesday: Today? not alot…talked on the phone with Madison alot, done homework, messed with stuff on the pc, talked on the phone some more…chatted with some old friends I haven’t in a long while on Facebook (Hi Sparky! :D ), and then started this.

So that has been my weekend /week. :]

My Inner Geek Is Tingling…

1

So, I just bought a new , 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 :D

click to see where and what exactly I bought….and to the some saying “thats a crappy ” or “eh, even the 9600 is alot better”….heres what your forgetting….not everyone has tons of money to blow on 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 over Intel..since AMD makes ATI lol…but I do…get over it! :P and It’ll work fine for what I need it…, 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 ’s once again…cause yeah 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 :D 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 again tonight….cause yeah my day has had nothing fun or interesting today lol…but I had to say the above cause I’m :D
