Birthday boy

Today's Craig's Birthday!
We don't exchange presents anymore. Haven't for years now. We both work today, so we're cutting out early, and I'll take him out for dinner. I always do some little thing. One year we went to the Casino in Mt Pleasant, where he actually won . Last year I surprised him by changing is background on his computer. He was quite surprised when he booted up, and this came up!

He really liked how I stretched it to make him look so thin. He thinks I'm some kind of computer genius. But then again, he knows even less about computers than I do. He still has this picture on his computer.
You also probably noticed, I didn't say how old he is...........Lets just say he's lots older than me!

Okay, he caught me. He's only 2 years 9 months 7 days older.
Jeez,I think some one's a little sensitive!

I Hate Computers

I have this love/hate relationship with my computer. I love it for all that it can do. And I hate it when it doesn't do it.
Case in point.
For Christmas I got a new PC game. 1701 A. D. I'm really a strategy game junkie. I can play them for hours at a time. Craig looks and thinks, "That looks like work. And your not even getting paid for it." He just doesn't understand!
But back to this love/hate thing. My computer is 3 years old. When I bought it I loaded it with the top memory and graphics card for gaming. So, loaded the new game, and it won't play! Damn, I hate that. So, I dig out the help file, and start reading. And I always do that, jump right in to a project, and when something goes wrong, then I read directions. But more on that later. I find that my 128mb GeForce 4600 graphics card is not supported! They only go back to the 4800! Crap! So off to Best Buy to get an upgrade. So all I need is the next step up, a 256 card. But of course I decide on the 512. More Power! , is what I always say! I find one and just before I leave, decide to check with a sales person to make sure I've got the right one. Of course, I didn't! I picked up a PCI and needed a AGP. what the f*^k! Find out the older computers had an AGP slot and the newer ones have a PCI slot. What ever the f*^k that means.
So I get it home and think, this should be easy.
So turn off the puter, open the case,
pull out the old one, put in the new one,
close the case, and restart the computer.
Easy enough, but the game won't play!
Okay, where's the directions!
You'd think I'd learn huh?
Well, I find I was suppose to
un-install the old drivers first,
so I do that. Then it came with an install disc, so I do that.
Still no good. So off to their homepage. Say's I need updated drivers. What? I just bought the damn thing! Okay, downloaded the drivers. Still no good. Then I realize the control center isn't right. So I un-install the whole damn thing, and then re-install. Finally, everything works now!
It probably would have been easier,
If I followed the directions first.
But that would be more of a female thing, right?
Here's a pic of the old one and the
new, smaller, more powerful, new one.
It's almost to pretty to hide in the case.

A new Year

My hope 2007,

Peace and happiness for you all!

My hope for 2007,
Peace and happiness to you all!

Dreams

Last night I had a dream. Actually I dream a lot. And I have some very weird one's. But I only remember the one I have when I wake up, and the one I awoke from this morning, is one with a reoccurring theme. I have this dream often.

In this dream I'm either running or biking, and at a pretty fast clip. I even pass other runners or bikers. I'm always going to a certain destination, it's always quite far, and I always know I could get there faster by car, but I don't have the car with me, so off I run or bike. And sometimes during the dream, I start out running and then all of a sudden I'm biking, or vise-versa.

But I never reach my destination. I always wake up before I get there. And sometimes, before I get there, I'm all of a sudden back where I started, and I start again!

So, some questions;

1. Does this mean I'm speeding thru life with no clear goal or life objective?

2. Or, deep down I don't think I'll be able to reach the goals I have?

3. Does your body burn more calories if you dream running then if you dream sitting?
