Camping :)

Two weeks ago, I went camping with my older brother and three friends. One of them has a very rich uncle and aunt who own a very large chunk of land. On it they have many different kinds of animals. Buffalo, cattle, etc., you know, the normal animals you would be used to seeing. However, they have a few other types as well, including Zebras, rams, and a cross-breed between a Zebra and a Donkey that they dubbed as Zonkies. Anyway, onto the summary!

So before driving up there, we of course gathered the essentials. Two tents (four guys, two per tent, and one in his car), a few fold-out chairs, and of course drinks and food. We had a decent amount of, well, stuff you need to be 21 to get with us (had mountain dew for the ones who didn't drink), as well as bacon, eggs, bread, cheese, hot dogs & buns, and some turkey. That was gathered and we went off. When we arrived, we borrowed two fishing p

Blue Screen of Death? I'd prefer coal in my stockings =(

Well, I've been getting a large amount of the infamous BSoDs lately, and it has really been getting on my nerves. I'd load up my user, and start to do something. Anywhere from one to thirty minutes after starting up is the normal time for me to get a BSoD Stop Error. Usually they are the same one, but it switches up occasionally. I actually wouldn't be surprised if I got one while typing this blog post, as I get them frequently when typing up posts on Neo. After trying to fix it with the aid from people on IRC and getting The Slayer on MSN, it was still happening. They even happen to me while I'm in Safe Mode is the problem, so fixing it in there is a bit of an issue.

I went online and it said to do something in the BIOS settings, and after looking up how to access it, I thought I'd try it. So I rebooted, and before anything loaded I tapped F1. It went to this one screen with the system i

Last Night's Dream: Zombie Apocalypse

Well, I had a strange dream last night, again. This time I didn't visit NeoHQ though, instead, I was in a similar situation to those in the movie: Dawn of the Dead. However, the people I was paired with were fellow Neoseeker members.

I woke up in Canada, for some odd reason, but didn't question it. Something smelled weird in the air, and so I went over to the door, opened it up, and saw ZL standing there with a flamethrower lighting zombies on fire. I then realized that I was smelling burning flesh. A zombie climbed up on top of a building and surprised ZL, and he was soon overrun. I quickly closed the door and frantically tried to grasp what had just happened. I put on some shoes, pants, shirt, belt, and a hat, which was unusual because I never wear a hat. I walked over to the closet to see if I could find anything to use to fight off the zombies. While I was digging through a mound of c

My new laptop!

Well, after about a week of waiting my new (and first ever) laptop arrived. I opened it up and began looking at it.


Here is the box of it, out of the box it was shipped in.


Here is the laptop sitting on the box it was shipped in.

I initially just took the laptop out, as well as the manual. I opened up the laptop and pressed the power button multiple times, unsuccessfully turning it on. I looked on the bottom and realized the battery wasn't there. After further inspection of the box, there is a little slot where the cords and battery was that I hadn't noticed. I popped the battery in and started it up.


Along the way of installing anti-virus programs, etc., my dog came in with an interest of what I was doing. I put her up on my bed for her to inspect it, and she decided to guard it in-case anyone came near.


Here are the features: (copied and pasted from BestBuy.com) [ol]

    First Successful House Party!

    Well, my little brother and sister are gone for the weekend for a church retreat thing, and my parents left also for something that would happen the next morning (so they stayed in a hotel a few cities up from where we live). What does this mean? Two words: House Part-ay.

    It was alright really, nothing too big. About 85 people in a house that could only hold 20 on most days (it isn't too large of a house, just one story, so my older brother and I had to move some furniture around). Most of the time people were talking, playing BP, or switching between Guitar Hero III and CoD: WaW on the PS3.

    One kid had a little too much and threw up in the front bathroom's sink, even though the toilet (with the lid up already I might add) was about two feet to the right of it. Afterwards I had to clean that out using some drain-o and other stuff. The only other damper on the party was my parents called ab

    My visit to NeoHQ =D

    Last night I had a dream that lasted the whole duration of the time I was asleep, which is a pretty rare thing for me. For those seven hours, I was at NeoHQ, or at least, a version of it.

    I walked in with two other people, some girl that I didn't recognize and Dark Dom (he looked like he used to, before he straightened his hair, which I realized the next morning). Anyway, we walked in and started to look around. Red had apparently went out for an errand, and so ar_cat gave us a tour. The funny thing was, ar_cat's appearance wasn't anything like in real life. If anybody is a fan of the anime "Code Geass", then you'll laugh when I tell you that ar_cat was Kallen (not a human like version, but the actual anime character, but nobody seemed to notice). As we are looking at all of the rooms, we go into a break room (resembling the break room of NBC's "The Office"). There we spot tekmosis. The o

    I Hate Windows Vista's Security

    So, I keep hearing all of these great things about windows vista's security features? Sounds pretty cool and all, but I don't look into it much. Apparently, it is the ultimate defense in securing your computer or something like that. Unfortunately, you don't exactly like it as much whenever it is turned against you.

    My older half-brother has been staying with us every couple of nights, camping out on the couch. Last night, he supposedly looked at, well, dirty images while everyone else was asleep. He made the rookie mistake of not deleting the cookies, history, etc. that showed that he was on there and so my mom noticed them the next morning (he had even stupidly bookmarked one of the sites).

    To prevent this, my mom thought she'd do a blanket ban of 99% of the internet on every user. How did she do this you say? By utilizing Windows Vista's amazing security! She first took everyone off of

    Delgo? WTF is that?

    So, apparently a movie called Delgo was released just recently and it broke a record. Why haven't you heard of it? Well, the record it broke was having the poorest opening week ever.

    quote IMDB
    In an exotic divided land, Delgo, an adventurous dreamer but naive teenager, must rally his group of troubled youth and some unlikely friends to protect their world from conflict between the terrestrial Lockni people, who harness the mysteries of the land. And the winged Nohrin people, who rule the skies. They live - segregated - in an uneasy peace until Delgo was framed for a crime he did not commit. After enlisting the help of a unlikely friend to escape a Nohri prison, Delgo discovers Imhoff is in danger so he must unite the two races against a common foe.
    It has very well-known celebrities playing the voices, such as the beautiful Jennifer Love Hewitt and Kelly Ripa, as well as Freddie Prinze Jr

    Defensive Driving Class: DUI/DWI Section

    Some of you all know that I crashed my car a few weeks ago. Along with the crash, I got a ticket for "Driving too fast for the conditions" (which yeah, I had to pay the $110 for it). In order to keep this off of my insurance record thingie, I had to go take a Defensive Driving Class. Unfortunately these classes are only on Saturday mornings, which I'm used to staying up late Friday night, so it was a bit of a change going to sleep early.

    I arrive at the class and see two elderly women, and a man that looked in his 40's. I scanned around a bit more and saw only one other person, one of my good friends. I was a bit surprised to see him there tbh, and more surprised when I found out he got a speeding ticket (he is one of those cautious drivers who stays within the speed limit, so that is why it was a shock).

    The unusually small class started, and we went through the basic stuff. About half-wa
