Too much crap...
Wow. Life sucks.
I have always wanted more time to do the things I want to do (namely playing games and working on personal programming projects), so why in the hell did I corner myself so that I can't do anything but work? I don't know. Maybe I just hate myself and this is the way I'm telling myself. Wait, that doesn't make much sense. Oh well; either way it still sucks.
Why don't I have any time, you ask? Several reasons.
Good news:
N/A
Well, ok, I lied. A FEW good things have been happening.
I still do play games. Even though I know I shouldn't be. But I'd go insane if I didn't play games. Even if it's just Windows XP Pinball, it still helps. But I have gotten more things lately. My PSP collection has expanded to include Wipeout Pure, Mercury, and Hot Shots Golf. I have gotten the Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Soaked! expansion. I have gotten Sim City 4 Deluxe Edition. I have been playing Star Wars Battlefront online with a friend. I went to said friends apartment and played Halo, Doom 3, and Perfect Dark. Of course, none of those things helped my situation. But that's what I do; complain about time constraints then do little things to waste time. Kind of like right now...
Computer Update:
My computer is coming along very nicely. I have everything except for the processor, Windows, my second hard drive, and a new monitor. I splurged and got the 7800GTX for those of you who know what that is. No, I'm not going to give you a link to GameSpot's review, I'm too lazy (even though I typed up this saying I'm not going to, and that, and that, and that, and that...). Once I actually get done with my stuff, I'll finish putting it together, and take some pics, because it's cool. Then I can actually use it! It's gonna be so freakin' powerful it's not even funny.
Oh, and I got yet another (two) programming books. Yes, yet another time waster. One was a short book on basic C++, something I should find useful soon. The other book is an almost one thousand page long book I picked up for $45. $45! It was a bargain. It is the second edition too, so it's got like four extra chapters. I've read the first one and a half chapters or so, and it is very good. And he hasn't even gotten into code yet! Oh, by the way, he uses C++, which is why I got the C++ book (got them the same day).
Thinking, thinking, thinking...
I think that's the majority of my life right now. So, hope you enjoyed making fun of me and realizing how good your life actually is (not that my life is bad perse, it just sucks).

Why don't I have any time, you ask? Several reasons.
- I can't take off of work because we are at crunch time. We need to get this shit done, and now. I may even need to work extra hours next week to finish it up.
- I have to finish up a class from last semester. Yes, I said LAST semester. I didn't really like the project, so never finished it. He gave me an incomplete, and if I want to pass the class, I need to finish that within a few weeks.
- I have a summer class to finish up. I took a summer class to fill the few credits I needed to graduate. I was lazy, and now I'm really freaking far behind. I have to go to school to take some tests, and because I can't get out of work, I need to do the tests this weekend. Which means I need to know what I'm doing, and the only way to do that is to do the assignments. I have half of the 17 week course to do in less than a week. Go me.
