    My Birthday 2:03 am-

    First thanks to everybody who wished me a happy birthday. Here’s how my birthday day went.

    When I got home from work today (yesterday now) I had planned on going right to bed. But I ended up playing Galactic Civilizations from 8:00 am (when I got home from work) to about 1:00 pm.

    I slept from 2:00pm to about 4:00 pm, and then had dinner with my Dad and Brother. Then I was going to log on to DAoC and just about fell asleep at the computer while my computer booted.

    I go back to bed and sleep till about 10 minutes before I had to get my ass to work. And this is where it gets fun.

    I go in to work around 10:05 pm and just about ten minutes after I punch in something odd happened. And the following is kind of gross.

    This guy who is painting or whatever stumbles up to the front desk and he has this really nasty wound to his nose. He’s drunk so he’s only mumbling, but apparently his old lady slashed his face and she cut his nose straight down the middle.

    So this drunk dumb poor bastard is standing at the desk with half of his nose hanging only by a little bit of flesh and blood is pour onto the counter. The guy has a towel that he was wiping his face off with, but he wasn’t trying to apply pressure to his huge gapping wound. I could see the bone in his nose. It was really gross.

    I call the cops and they come down with an ambulance and they talk to the guy first and then take him to the hospital. The girlfriend is arrested and the area CSI team comes to look at the evidence.

    Now it’s about 1:50 am and this all happened around 10:10 pm, and all the blood is still on the desk drying up. It is gross. I asked the guy (he’s in charge of remodeling) who’s friends with the owner, about having someone clean it up. He just shrugs and walks off.

    So that’s how my birthday went. Overall it was a pretty lousy one.

    So here it is the day I have come to dread. I not the kind of guy that ages gracefully. I don’t say I’m 31 years young. That’s bullshit. I’m 31 years old.

    As it was last year I have received my first birthday greeting from a person I only know through the internet. Which was nice, so I need to say hi to Hana. Hana is a member of the Dark Age of Camelot guild I am in.

    This year I will be working. Not happy about working on my birthday, but what can you do?

    Today is also my best friends birthday and the birthday of another one of my good friend’s wife. So happy birthday to both Troy and Karla.

    Galactic Civilizations is the game Master Of Orion 3 should have been. If you made the mistake of buying MOO3 let me tell you that a true successor to MOO2 is this game, not that piece of shit that is called MOO3. Here are some shots showing off this great game:

    Galciv Shots Galciv Shots

    Galactic Civilizations is one of those strategy games that are referred to as a 4x type of strategy game. I never can remember what the four x’s stand for, so don’t ask me. It is a fun space empire kind of game and it is tons of fun. Check the link up above for more info than you’ll know what to do with.

    Another neat thing about Galactic Civilizations is that you can buy it directly from the developer and download it as soon as your credit card clears. You also have an option to pay five to ten bucks more to get a cd shipped to you.

    One of the latest posts from a site I check out now and then has something that I can’t help but think is directed toward me. Now maybe I’m paranoid and maybe this site isn’t talking about me. Here is just a bit from this article:

    I’ve heard some people… commenting is the word I’ll use… I’ve heard some people *commenting* on the US attacking Iraq. I’ve heard some people saying “Oh, the headlines say war. Is this a war? I thought Congress was supposed to declare war. Or at least that’s what it says in this thing called the constitution… Yada yada yada…”

    Later as you read on this guys says “…you could take a second or two out of playing video games…”

    Of all that this guy said this one little bit bothers me the most. Fuck you man! I don’t play video games, ok? Video games are what kids play, alright? I happen to play Computer Games. And there is a difference.

    Other than the video game thing I agree totally with what this dude says. I can’t argue with the guy at all. If he’s talking about me. Go take a look at the site and if you got any questions or comments leave them in the forum.

    War!? 11:49 pm-

    Well it looks like the first shots have been fired in our war with Iraq. Both CNN and MSNBC have stories telling about our “decapitation attack” to kill Saddam Hussein. CNN’s headline reads ‘DECAPITATION ATTACK’ in big bold letters. MSNBC has a nice picture of Baghdad exploding. Their headline is WAR, with a nice red bullet point that states “Initial strikes aimed at killing Saddam”.

    So here is were I have to be careful. Because I don’t want to go and pull a Dixie Chick or anything. But I was reading my copy of the Constitution and I had to re read it a few times because I was confused.

    Section. 8.
    The Congress shall have Power…To declare War

    So my question is this Operation Iraqi Freedom a war? Or has the definition of war changed? Dictionary.com defines war as:

    A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties.

    The following bit from the MSNBC story says:

    President Bush told the nation Wednesday night that the “opening stages” of Operation Iraqi Freedom were under way. U.S. forces stepped up what had been intended as an initial softening of the battlefield by launching an aerial bombardment of Baghdad in an attempt to kill Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

    Kinda sounds like a start of a war to me. I found a interesting link on google called Declaring and Waging War: The U.S. Constitution that sums up my query here. So let me repeat that I’m not bashing what’s going on over there. I’m not for or against it. In fact I have no real opinion on this subject that I will utter here or any where else. I’m just thinking aloud.

    Charter Suck’s Less 5:58 am-

    Ok the last time I posted I was a little angry with Charter Support. I now have a working net connection at home. My problem is still more or less a mystery. I called Charter Support late last night and the gentleman I spoke with was more helpful than the last few. He didn’t volunteer the info I got from him. I had to ask the right questions. Which makes me think of the Dilbert strips were Dogbert runs a abusive tech support service.

    What I asked was if my firewall would cause any kind of problems. The guy said yes that could be. I told him I was running Zone Alarm Pro, and then asked which firewall they recommend. And of course Zone Alarm is at the top of their list. So I uninstalled Zone Alarm. Still had the problem. I reinstalled Zone Alarm. And I still had the problem.

    So because of the fact I was starting to show signs of withdrawl I decided to try a clean install of the os. Well not a totally clean install. Maybe a not as clean as it could be install. To make a long boring story a short boring story, I now have a working net connection.

    And to make it worse the second tech guy I talked to was right. Some where there was a software issue. I still can’t figure that one out.

    So for the last three days my high speed internet connection at home has been dead. I’m a little pissed at the fine folks at Charter Support. I’ve called these clowns a total of three times. After the first call I had their procedure down step by step.

    It’s kind of amazing how there are only a handful of things they can suggest for you to do. The second call the wonderful guy at Charter Support told me more or less it was my problem. The words he used were that I had a software or hardware problem on my end. Jeez could you cover yourself a little better than that?

    Fuck this really pisses me off. Just the fact I have to use my back up AOL account pisses me off even more at these fucking clowns at Charter Support. But at least I’m on the net. That’s what I keep telling myself.
