Grrr I'm being a douche

I have at least 4 blogs sitting in draft right now and I know I need to work on like two of them, hell two of them would probably be easy to write if I just sat down and did it, so what am I about to do, thats right watch some anime and force myself to hit the sack again. Actually I just told on myself so I am going to TRY and at least work on them some more. Hell this has been at least a blog a day since I started again(hell a few days more then one blog a day) now no none of it is serious, deeply research world changing fare.   This is me, if I change the world it will by showing folks that yes there is someone who will still be a human being to them, who will still give you that morning greeting that may brighten your day in hopes that on his darkest day someone will brighten his.

It's silly I seem like a child with a comic book, so what is it so wrong to want to live in a world where people are nice to each other? Is it wrong to want to wake up in the morning(bwahahaha okay be FORCED TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING) and just hear a "good morning and how was your day", or that "hey my day isn't great but I'm gonna make it okay". I've said it a millions times before, you get more than you put out when you put kindness out into the world it always bounces back. A smile could brighten up an otherwise dreary day, a small gesture of kindness could replenish anothers hope in humanity. Sometimes it isn't the huge grand standing things that make a difference it's all those small gestures on the way to the ledge, that kind word, that "hey I had two whatevers drop you want the spare I'm not that hungry/thirsty", or that kind person willing to give you a ride, who holds the elevator/train/bus.


aiight this is a ramble and a half and this time would be better spent working on some drafts. I hope everyone who traipse past is having a good night and is ready for a great weekend

And Netgear to the rescue

This one will have to be REAALLY quick and REALLY dirty, meh maybe not I type pretty fast. Okay well if I just bashed the hell out of belkin for it's craptastic adapter and I am able to post on the internet it must mean I found someone with a much better hassle free adapter. And that would be Netgear I am now happily surfing on a Netgear Wireless N-300 usb adapter WNA3100 and the main reason I am happily surfing on this netgear? the included a WIRELESS NETWORKING UTILITY I mean how simple is that, one piece of software, yes the device cost me an extra 20 bucks over the Belkin I'm blasting in the previous blog but hey it works, it works pretty easily too, hell I was actually putting in extra unnecessary effort to log on. Just leave it on any and viola I'm on and surfing.

I almost got the n150 but lets be real I do surf alot and I do sometimes game on here. I plan to save the box and CD just in case we get a new pc later and it's not next to the router either so that I can have the original software. Now I may come back and revisit this software in the future to see if there are any problems but for now the Netgear is getting flying marks from me. Stick in the CD, let it run, plug in the adapter, hell the little cradle is even perfect for sitting on top of my monitor so it's nicely out of the way and most likely won't get knocked over(I have a tendency to be like a bull in a china shop sometimes so I won't say won't). If I have an issue with it(of course this issue only comes up if I CONSTANTLY try to connect to a newer router) it's that it doesn't really offer you a choice on if you WANT to use the WPS set up routine, I mean yes wireless protected has it's advantages but seriously if he router is neither close nor in a common area not really kosher to just pop up any ol' time of night and be like "hey pally could you hit the button for me real quick?" Because let's be real my fellow netizens most of us are late night surfers. We get on at times of convenience maybe after work, or on lunch, the bus ride home whenever we have a free minute and a connection for our digital device. now if I use the "Any(first available network)" setting and not a particular SSID no problem(just putting that out there for those who run into a similar problem like I was at first) it connect to the router I wanted to connect to anyway and bounce between the two if ones signal is either weak or I get bumped thus constant surfing. And of course "That's what I waaaaaaawawant, that's what I like"( told yall I talk in pop references and songs sometimes what) so for now the belkin is back at wally world(though its saga is not completely over), I'm back on the net (Go team Venture), and all is right in my seedy little world. I hope everybody has a great hump day, hmm this was quick and dirty even with linkage I Rock

The Belkin Basic Wireless USB adapter

Under no circumstances should you EVER buy this product. As a coworker of mine would say "it's a piece of poop", and that is actually an insult to poop. This thing didn't seem to know that it needed it's OWN wireless utility to connect to the internet. It was constantly fighting to try and get on the net and I figured okay I have other belkin utilities on here maybe if I remove them it will work out smoothly, Nope. As a matter of fact probably the only reason I had gotten on the first time is because my original Belkin adapters settings kicked in. I may not have been able to adjust the new Wua (wireless usb adapter) but for a BRIEF moment it did go on the internet and THEN crapped out. The adapter in question was: Belkin model f7d1101 v1 Basic  wireless usb adapter that's its official name and model number. Now the FIRST belkin wireless adapter I ever owned(let me pick up it's poor pieces) was also a belkin the the Belkin Wireless G Usb network adapter model f5d7050 it lasted 5 years wasn't perfect but hey you've seen the various posts and mischief I have gotten into with it (damn I really need to finish that googling myself blog got side tracked due to net issues obviously) over the past 5 years, I think it cost me like 60 bucks at the time. So with everyday usage over 5 years that original $60 buck investment was so far in the black I don't have a single damn complaint.

And of course due to the fact that my first belkin adapter was a belkin and lasted 5 years hey I figured go head back to the trough it should be okay it appears if there is one thing Belkin can get right it's a wireless adapter. Whats that old investment world saying "past outcomes do not predict future results" yup that's EXACTLY what happened here. It's as if while the mentioned the ability of their desktop unit to work for a desktop they only gave you the necessary software and equipment to get it to work as if it was on a laptop. Going through all the trouble shooting and the various information in the manual it seems this adapter (model f7d1101 v1) really was JUST optimized for vista/windows 7. If anybody has bought a "windows post xp" laptop you will notice that it's network settings area is a little different. It is built like a combo between they old networks details screen and the WZC(wireless zero configuration) device from laptops, which is cool IF you have windows 7 or vista on your PC if you don't pffft you SOL(and no I ain describing a car or shortening Punky Brewster's first name, I was almost cruel and called her Punky Boobster since basically she didn't realize huge knockers ran in her family, or maybe she did and just thought you know maybe they wouldn't happen til she was 16). So after a long night and an early morning of fiddling around and trying to find a way to get it to work(I even went to Belkin's website to try and download the software there STILL no wireless utility, yeah smooth move there brainiacs) I decided to just take it back and of course MORE hilarity ensued tuesday was just one of those days. But as even in wrestling you have a heel(belkin) and as I am now back to posting their must be a face( face is good guy in wrestling terminology and in this case it's a netgear news at wow that 7:30 crap was supposed to be a joke, dunno when I'll get done with the Netgear blog this one was already started in notepad)

Yaaay internet issues are fixed, I think

Aiight I got two blogs to finish on that since I'm just learning how to use el Netgearo right here (news at 7:30) but the short version, I accidentally stepped on my 5 year old belkin wireless adapter the other night and basically put it out of it's "just toss me in the fridge for a minute and I'll be right as rain boss" misery, okay fine it was in the freezer and it was for more like 15-20 minutes. I've known for 2 years now that I needed to replace that wireless adapter, it was a G(ie 802.11 a/b/g) and when I bought it basically it was good enough to grab the signal from the other side of the house. Which was fine with me I wasn't the rocket man but I was on the net, since after moving the router when from in my room(and thus giving me constantly on Rocket Speed, due to the ethernet cable) to having sometimes spotty, grr plug and unplug okay it's settled in now signal with the adapter.



Obviously as I am posting ^ this that issue is resolved, those who worked well will get a gold star *, those who were damn near useless will get a "shot in the pins, babe" everybody have a great wednsday

A quick thank you

To whomeva was reading my Optometrist blog, I had kind of forgotten about it. When I say I write blogs to get the clutter out of my head I mean it, I usually forget all about them it was a thought bothering me, that either touched my heart at the time or was the reaction to some stimulus I bumped into out in the real world. So as those thoughts broil and stew ideas form, and not droplets no, my head wouldn't be cluttered if they were just droplets streams form going on their own journeys and ending in deltas of either understanding or imagination. But just like most regular dreams once had usually they vanish never to be experienced again.

With my blogs UNLESS you respond or comment I kind of forget about them and just leave them there in the ether yes if you are new visitor they are new to you, but for me it's an old thought something that was precious when I had to express it but is not a part of the ever growing tapestry that is my digital presence. Like I said my name is my address so if you see ALL of the various things I have put out on the net you will see a picture painted it is fragmented, choatic, fast paced and stoic but it is also entirely me.  And when I see that others enjoy my work agree disagree comment or read I am proud because obviously it is something that drew your attention. I don't do it for praise, I have always admitted that I probably will never win a popularity contest to me though knowing someone appreciated the work that was created by the various inspirations life gives me is the ultimate joy. I'm a bit narcissistic when it comes to what I put out on the internet no not in its spelling but in it's message and its tenor. If I am expressing a vision that I wish people to see I really do try to make it as crystal clear as possible. And rereading that blog reminded me that it's a good thing, it also made me think maybe I need to loosen up a bit perhaps be more willing to put an entry out there and come back later to refine it, so I may be making use of the draft feature more often. Or even going back to old blogs and revisiting the topics with a new understanding or maybe a few more months to let it stew.

As they say hindsight is 20/20 and the further away you get from something USUALLY the more objective you can be.  So again you have my deepest appreciation for bringing that blog back up into my consciousness. For a blog I don't promote the amount of hits I have gotten and the number of people who have come through is amazing to me. Whether its the titles that I choose and it just so happens to pop up in your search request, or the fact that you want to see what else this loudmouth of mine has to say on my own domain. Keep on coming through I appreciate the visits and for those few who have spoke thanks for the feedback keep it coming, and for the rest join the fun

Afternoon malaise

I'm running a scan on 1 pc(which is gonna take all day, literally) and another I am doing some trial and error on to see exactly how deeps it's problems are and what I may have to recommend is the routes to fix them. welcome to all who have tripped through today as always you're welcome to leave comments, subscribe, and even contact me per le contact page(I'm too lazy to look up the actual french so yes I am doing a bad Pepe le pew right there). I hope all are having a good day. If you have any questions about some of the various crap I may be doing at the time(trust me I am captain road dog if it's interesting I'll probably head there with you, which means I have a ton of stories just never know which ones to type out at the time), I do a lot better with responding to folks then I do just rambling on, because if you have read a post or two once this stone gets rolling Look out below cause I'm heading to the ocean floor. Now of course I have mentioned on OTHER peoples blogs(yes if I read your blog and I think the topic is interesting I will respond to your blog, see my blog roll, can you smell it's eccentricity yup pure me right there I am a varied person) that the whole "Blog month Challenge" thingy isn't my bag it's just not.

I mean part of it is my random nature, probably part of the reason I love Deadpool and Spiderman so much is because like me their are so random, will talk a mile a minute(we do happen to get things done) but it's not really scripted or along a timeline. So to tell me YOU HAVE TO BLOG EVERYDAY, like thou art the voice of god man I would type some crap out and just not post it BECAUSE you wanted me to daily. Yes it's a little juvenile but part(s) of me do have a rather youthful nature. I never gave that up it's part of what makes me a great friend I have the Optimism of one 20 years my junior.

By the way I ORDERED Deadpool Corps Prelude and trade 1, grr it's hard cover and I prefer soft but meh I'll get to read the "Merc with the mouth's" advetures with his multiversal incarnations. It's been a while since I bought a comic because my tail is always busy. So PART of my weekend plans were done, gotta finish those blogs still but I did do a few blogs so see content production is humming along.

I think I will look at see if RED came out recently, the movie with the old CIA agents with targets on their heads, I love pretty much all the actors in the cast so I will sit through it. Plus it's based on a comic, I know I didn't go see predators or Expendables but that wasn't my fault that was schedule related. I am planning to pic up predators on DVD though A-team, The losers and probably Legion too. Like I said BUSY, but in a few weeks BLACK OPS hits shelves and I have my preorder and some of you little newbs are going down, can we say "Shots to the Face" yes boys and girls yes we can. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes that was me doing an #EVL laugh and yes I am going to be my evil self in a FPS, you do not play FPS' for the story my friends no it's to hear grown men and little children complain about your newbishness for lighting their HEINES on fire(and I don't mean the imported beer in the green bottle either) "I love the smell of C4 in the morning!"(and the afternoon, and evening, and midnight and dawn *holds back evil laugh*mu *cough cough* almost escaped).

Okay back to work this was just a quickie to update what I was doing because I hadn't posted yet today, maybe I should dash off and get me some subway or something too(what I might still goof off and, are you reading this blog right now instead of doing YOUR job, right thought so, so as you were)

This one hurt

Now I may not have had to physically watch the game unfold the way it did but following it as I did on the 3 websites: I started on my old faithful cbssports , then they started acting up so I went to foxsports , but for some odd strange reason they had this really tiny game tracker box for me to try to watch the game on so I decided after dumping them like waaaay back in 04 because well back in 04 NFL.com's game tracker sucked, the updates were slow, the stats were always off, and all those ads popping up but NFL was where I was finally able to watch the game deteriorate in peace. If you are wonder yes I know ESPN is SUPPOSEDLY the world leader in sports but usually their java is the crappiest, the guys they have doing the updates can't keep up and somehow someway the Game tracker always seems to go on the fritz. Out of the Major sports websites for the longest time CBS was the best, yes every once in a while they would have a hiccup or two but it wasn't for the whole game.

Back to the game, the entire reason we shipped Donovan Mcnabb off was because SUPPOSEDLY he couldn't hit the little 5 yard dinky passes, couldn't handle the game with the lead, and couldn't get the ball to our (at the time lousy, sub par, piece of crap) receivers. Now yes he kinda went back in time with washington those guys have potential but as Jason Campbell showed they don't really have the drive yet, in watching highlights of redskins games I see plenty of plays where the wide receiver just didn't make the decision that would have helped him catch the ball, diving from 5 yards out when the ball is still in the air and if you run another two steps you could probably catch it over your shoulder or at your knee. Dropped passes galore(I know that was damn Deja Vu didn't he just leave that in philly) but hey "We had the future" and the future was Kevin Kolb. There was a problem with the future though in preseason he couldn't find the end zone now I don't know about you but for a pass happy team that is a BIG CONCERN. And I made the preseason prediction that "Mike vick will be phillies starting QB by game 6" I figured we'd be around 500 and at 4-3 we are so that held up. We played okay and our talent showed up on offense we had a good running game the first few(which with andy reid is a blessing because he refuses to run the ball), our two all star caliber wide recievers were lighting up the scoreboard.

Thing is Kolb didn't hold up in game 1 by half time he was out with a concussion. Hey nobody wants a guy to get injured especially if the guy starts for your favorite team. I may have said he would get benched but I expected it to be due to lack of performance not injury, so in walks Mike Vick he plays well the second half, leads us to victory in the next two games and in the 3rd game of the "Mike Vick era" he goes down to injury. Aw man come on, okay so Kolb plays out the second half doesn't stink up the joint just also doesn't put a lot of points on the board. It's okay the next week he does fantastic we win all is right with the world, then the week after that he plays great again, now we lose another player to injury but the team pulls together and plays well.

Then we have today. Man I'm sorry but you cannot win the game by getting into your opponents red zone constantly and kicking field goals, I believe we were 1/4 in the red zone today and I'm sorry but that's on the coach and the QB not only that but Kolb throws 2 interceptions AND gives up a fumble. My problem to this point with Kolb had been he had more INT's than TD's on the books he appeared to be changing that, this 2 int day scraps that thought process. It seems to me if the SPECTER of Kevin Kolb being The Philadelphia Eagles starting QB is brought up it's like his mind fries and he forgets how to play football. He stares down his WR, he rushes throws, he takes sacks instead of throwing the ball away. Today he threw two picks(one that was taken back for a touchdown at the end of the game so while we needed the score it was kind of prayer time anyway with :22 seconds left), and dropped a fumble on the opponents 3 yard line.

Then to allow 27 straight points to be scored on your team by never taking more than 35 seconds off the game clock per possession because you keep going 3 and out. I'm sorry as the QB your job is game management and if we need a score you need to scan the field quickly and get CHUNKS in critical situations. I mean hell he ran for a 15 yard gain one time then seemed to forget with the game on the line that he had legs. Yes he was one weapon short, but he had weapons hell as he was getting the ball out and finding people you could see that. But the most telling stat is that before the titans started scoring heavily he had about 226 yards, he ended with like 230~ish. Where as the other QB had 91 yards through the air for most of the game and ended with 260~. And no that guy isn't some Super bowl winning Qb, his coach may love him but I suspect he and his coach will be out of a job next year. We should not have lost this game we had them beat, we had them under control we should have been cruising through the finish line.

But this Game should prove some rather pertinent points while Kolb has potential he is either NOT starter material or else he is not ready to start now. He is far from a franchise QB at this juncture, as for Mike Vick he did his time, if you can't forgive him than you know what thats your issue not his. People make mistakes all you can hope is that they really do learn their lessons, but you cannot ask them to repay them over and over until YOU are satisfied, because lets be real that satisfaction will never come. He was a franchise QB before he went to prison, he reminds me of Randal Cunningham Rocket arm quick legs run first if there ain nobody open. Though as of late he runs to buy time for someone to get open.  So it seems spending a year with Donovan helped.

I know some may come in here screaming about Dog Killer, and animal, how kolb is better, you are welcome to your opinion, you are welcome to leave your opinion here, you get rowdy and you will be shown the door
