Awesomeness

W00t w00t! We’re getting an apartment! Finally I will be back out on my own and not under my moms roof! Oh how lovely this will be… Cortney is a good roommate. She was great at the house. We’re looking out in SLC right now, and we found a great [kinda ghetto, but we can make it nice] apartment out on 3rd south and 7th east that we’re really considering. It’s way cheap, so that will rock the shit out of my socks. Oh and if you know of any apartments in the slc area that are cheap, but not so ghetto, let me know! That’s all the news, for now.

I want my Net Neutrality

The internet golden age is about to end. “Net Neutrality” will be over soon, because congress is pushing a bill that will enable telco providers like AT&T, Comcast, and other internet providers to ad tiers to their service, ultimately closing off much of the internet you see today. If this bill passes, you will no longer be able to view some sites that require a “premium” subscribtions from your internet provider. This cannot happen. Not alot of people know about this, and that’s why i’m putting this post up. Please, go here to sign the petition set up and vote against this new internet law, unless you would like to start paying extra fee’s just to see the sites you visit on a daily basis. This petition will be sent directly to your local congress so that they know people will not stand for this. Thanx!

Getting back to my old self again…

Kat and ashley 012 (Large)Well, to start things off, I just want to say I love my friends. After about 2 months of not seeing any of my friends after we all moved out of the house, i’ve started hanging out again. Last night was great! We all met up at the Olive Garden out in SLC and just had a good night of eating and talking. I took a bunch of photos, and i’ll post a few of them below for your viewing pleasure :) … Alot more people showed up than I thought would, so that was good. It was Shelley’s get together for the marathon she’s running tomorrow. I guess she had to eat a ton of carbs to keep her energy up, and pasta is the best way to do it.

Anyways, moving on. So, what have I been up to for the past 2 months? Well, alot to say the least. I’ve been hanging out at Cambo’s place [aka the famous orange house, R.I.P] pretty much 24/7. It’s been my second home. Him, Scottie, Chad, and Nick have been partying mostly every night. It’s been a crazy trip. There was a girl that lived next door, Ashley, that I kinda fell for over the 2 months I stayed there. I liked her alot. I slept there with her most nights, cuz it was alot more convenient with work just 5 minutes away from her house, but unfortunately, we had our differences and it just didn’t work out. She’s still a great friend though, and hopefully we’ll remain friends. It’s kinda sad, cuz Cambo and them got evicted a couple weeks ago. I miss that place alot, but Me, Brady, Cambo, Kenny, and Chad might be getting a place out in SLC together soon. If my mom starts getting better and finds work, i’ll be able to move out again before summer ends, and i’m really excited about that. If I won’t be able to move out in time with them, Cortney and I will probably get a place together. I love her, she was a great roommate in the house. She’s probably the only girl i’d even consider living with. It’s great.

Another cool thing that’s happened lately, I finally put together a new computer. Haha, I put it all on a Newegg card, but it’s all good. I don’t have to make payments till December, and by then i’ll have enough saved to just pay it off in full. It’s a pretty nice setup, to. Pentium D 805 @ 3.6ghz, 2gb DDR2 ram @ 720mhz, Radeon X1800XT overlcocked to 660/775, and 840gb of HDD space in RAID0. Love it. I guess I gave up on the new Digital Rebel camera, and just went with this instead. Oh well.

Well as much as i’d like to write more, I have to be going. I’m at work and they don’t like it much when I mess around on the internet. We’ll all be going to a drive-in movie tonight, so if anyone wants to come, just give me a call or write me. It’ll be great fun. Here’s s few pics from last night, click to enlarge.
